Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to unlabeled page 2 of Delaware County Bank 1950-1975] THE DELAWARE COUNTY BANK THE FIRST 25 YEARS The idea of a new bank for the City of Delaware, Ohio first germinated in the minds of the late Clifford S. Gooding and Bernard Hatten almost simultaneously. At that time Mr. Gooding was the general manager of the Delaware Farmers Exchange Association and Bernard Hatten was one of its executive officers and board members. This was in the spring of 1948 and they lost little time in discussing the possibility of a new bank not only with friends and business asso- ciates but also with people who had made their mark in industry, farm- ing, commerce and professional life throughout the entire Delaware County area. The concept of a new bank was favorably received in all cor- ners of the county and within a short period of time an incorporating committee was formed. The members of the committee, Willis Eagon, A. L. Everitt, Richard L. Firestone, Allen Freeman, Clifford S. Good- ing, Ralph J. Gooding, Bernard Hatten, Milton L. Havens, Judge Fred A. McAllister, Will McElfresh, John H. Matthews, Elmer C. Miller, Glen W. Way, Guy A. Weiser and Paul B. White, selected Richard L. Firestone as their chairman and Bernard Hatten as their secretary. Following about 18 months of determined work and effort and involving numerous conferences with supervisory and manage- ment people of the Ohio State Banking Department and Federal De- posit Insurance Corporation along with discussions and interviews with bankers in the central and north-central Ohio area, the decision was made by the committee to file an application for a charter for a state bank with the Superintendent of Banks of Ohio. It was also determined that an application be filed at the same time with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Finally, on May 24, 1950, the only contested hearing upon an application for a state bank chapter was held in Columbus before the State Banking Department Advisory Board. The incorporators were rep- resented by Richard L. Firestone and the opposition, The First Nation- al Bank of Delaware, was represented by General Carlton S. Dargusch and former United States Senator, James Huffman. The thrust of Fire- stone's contention that Delaware and the surrounding areas needed an- other bank was to the point that the existing bank enjoyed a virtual monopoly, that the competitive factor of another bank would be stimu- lative of economic growth and would be persuasive to many people Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Bank 1950-1975 (p. 2) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d84ee9e920f31198a491615534615402.jpg 56f4ebf52dfa1b9581ef7d2005bd0150 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Delaware County Bank 1950-1975] who had taken their banking business out of the county to return to Delaware. One of the main arguments asserted by Firestone was that the community needed a bank that was owned and controlled by local people, not just a link in a big banking chain controlled out of Colum- bus. The opposition rested its case by asserting that there were al- ready five banks in Delaware County doing an adequate job and that another bank was not needed. About a month after the hearing, notification was received from the office of the Superintendent of Banks that the State Banking Advisory Board approved the application to form a new state bank to be known as The Delaware County Bank with a capital structure con- sisting of 1000 shares of stock to be sold for $250 a share, resulting in a capitalization of $125,000, surplus of $75,000 and undivided profits of $50,000. Within a few weeks after this the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in Washington declared its approval of the new bank after another contested hearing. Articles of Incorporation of The Delaware County Bank were filed in the office of the Secretary of State of Ohio July 13, 1950. During the summer of 1950 the directors were busy traveling through- out the county to sell the shares of stock of the new bank. Arrange- ments had been made with The Huntington National Bank of Columbus through its trust department to accept the proceeds of the stock sale, issue receipts for the purchase price paid and then deliver the shares of stock of the new bank which it held in escrow. Following the sale of all the stock the first meeting of share- holders of The Delaware County Bank was held September 19, 1950 in the Willis High School Auditorium, Delaware, Ohio, and was at- tended by approximately 200 people, about two-thirds of the share- holders. At this meeting the incorporators were elected as directors. Also elected as a director was Paul P. Wax, the cashier of the Bank. The shareholders' meeting was followed by a directors' meet- ing to elect officers and the following persons were the first officers of The Delaware County Bank: Chairman of the Board - Richard L. Firestone, Attorney; President - Fred A. McAllister, Common Pleas Judge of Delaware County, Ohio; Vice President - Clifford S.

The principal ground floor tenant of The Peoples Building, The Peoples Building & Loan Association, announced in late 1949 that it was closing its offices and discontinuing business in Delaware. Gambling that the yet-to-be-filled application for a bank charter would be approved, a small group of the incorporators committed themselves to be financially responsible for the rental of the Peoples Building & Loan Company ground floor space for a period of five years or a total of $24,000, and a written lease was entered into between The Peoples Building, Inc. and Richard L. Firestone as Trustee for the space. After incorporation had been completed Mr. Firestone, as Trustee, as- signed the remaining portion of the lease to The Delaware County Bank. [photo] THE BANK, OCTOBER 7, 1950 When the lease came up for renewal and rental adjustments in 1958 negotiations were entered into at that time resulting in the pur- chase of the building by the Bank. The grand opening of The Delaware County Bank was Saturday, October 7, 1950 at its offices, 41 North Sandusky Street, Delaware, Ohio. The first banking room was a little less than one-half the first floor area of the building. It had been redecorated with light green walls, dark green drapes and natural birch counters had been installed. Somewhere near 2000 people, many of them first-time customers of the Bank, visited the Bank during its opening hours from 9:00 a,m, to 9:00 p.m. Special tellers for opening day had been recruited from The Hunt- ington National Bank of Columbus.

Firestone, was recalled to active military service in Washington, D.C. during the Korean War and President Fred A. McAllister served both as pre- sident and temporary chairman until his death in the fall of 1951. At this time the deposits of The Delaware County Bank had slightly surpassed the $2,000,000 mark which the incorporators had told the State Bank Advisory Board the Bank would reach in one year. To move along with changes of the times, interest paid on savings accounts was raised from one percent to two percent in Octo- ber of 1951. The search for a new president to succeed the late Fred A. McAllister did not take long. The unanimous choice of the directors was the remarkable Robert B. Powers, a retired Delaware banked whose family had been connected with banking in Delaware ever since 1845. [photo] ROBERT B. POWERS In 1953, when Mr. Paul Wax, the cashier of the Bank, announ- ced that he was taking other employment, the directors took the most significant step they have ever taken in bringing to the Bank from The City National Bank & Trust Company of Columbus a young, vigorous and imaginative banker -- Alfred B. Wise. With Mr. Wise running the Bank it stopped going through many years of growth and expansion and has not stopped.

This building, a landmark of downtown Delaware, was built about 61 years ago in the days of carbide lights, dirt streets, street cars, horse troughs and other bits and pieces of early 20th century American life. Interest paid on savings accounts increased in 1959 to three percent and it was in October of 1959 that The Delaware County Bank announced its plans to construct its first branch office at 19 London Road. Construction was completed during the winter of 1959 and the spring of 1960. An open house was held June 3, 1960 and the first business day for this new branch office was June 6, 1960.

Remodeling of the second floor of The Delaware County Bank Building was first started in December of 1969 so that the remodeled space could accommodate the installment loan department, bookkeep- ing and BankAmericard departments. The second remodeling of this area was made in 1974, the sec- ond floor handling not only installment loans, bookkeeping and Bank- Americard departments, but also all loans. The Board of Directors knew at the time the Bank of Galena Company was merged into The Delaware County Bank that the facili- ties in Galena for competent, modern banking service were not ade- quate for the needs of a growing community. In October of 1969 the Bank purchased for the entire north side of the Village square at Galena, Ohio and employed architectural help to design a new banking facility for the Village. Following review of the architect's designs and relo- cation of tenants in the structures purchased by the Bank, the entire north side of the square was razed. Construction of the new bank faci- lity commenced and was completed in December, 1971; a grand open- ing accompanied with the usual prizes was held on December 4.

Willis Eagon, Allen Freeman, Clifford Gooding, Bernard Hatten, Judge Fred A. Mc- Allister, Will McEfresh, Elmer Miller, Guy Weiser and Paul White, all original directors, have died. Our second president, Robert B. Powers, has passed away as well as Norman Hageman and Hoyt Whit- ney who joined the Board at the time of the mergers with The Ostrander Banking Company and The Bank of Galena Company. The Bank owes much to the services of these men and the many hours of time that they have devoted to the affairs of the Bank. During the formative and so-called struggling years of the Bank the directors served without compensation for several years. Direct- ors' meetings, the second Tuesday of each month, have been held in varying locations about the premises of the Bank but for the past 11 years the Board has met in the Directors' room on the mezzanine floor of the Bank, this room being part of the remodeling and redecoration that took place in 1964. Expansion and growth has been the story of The Delaware County Bank during these 25 years and there is no stopping it. Population trends indicate that Delaware County will keep on experiencing a surge of people moving into the south portion of the County. Your Bank con- trols a site that may be developed into some type of banking facility in Powell, Ohio, and it is taking a long, hard look in other areas of southern Delaware County to determine if additional banking facilities will be merited. The rapid rate of growth especially during the last decade brought with it the need to increase the capital of the Bank from time to time. Sales of additional bank stock were authorized and completed in 1958, 1968, 1972 and 1974. A stock dividend was distributed to stockholders at the time of each stock sale. Semi-annual cash divi- dends of varying amounts have been paid. The present dividend rate is $1 a share each six months' period. The authorized and outstand- ing shares of bank stock have increased from 1000 shares in 1950 to 48,000 shares in 1975. The personnel of the Bank has increased from about four or five people at the time the Bank started in 1950 to a present staff of about 60 persons. Over half a million dollars a year, paid to Bank employees, finds its way to stimulate business and trade throughout the whole county.

"Delaware High School," Yes, it really was. This series tells the story of the last class to graduate from that ancient structure, which was more than half destroyed by fire in the freshman year of the Class of 1932. The series is something more than that: It attempts to re- capture what Delaware and life in Delaware were like two genera- tions and two high school build- ings ago. Yes, Frank B. Willis High School, toward which we were yearning for almost four years, has itself been replaced by Rutherford B. Hayes High School --located, by the way, where Su- perintendent R. D. Conrad had wanted it in 1929. Part of the story is painful be- cause it circulates around the struggles for a new building which developed in the combined disasters of fire and depression. It is painful because it bears on the lives of many citizens and their families as they were caught in the deprivations of the Great Depression. But the pain was, as always, mingled with joy and even exuberance. Thus the story is an archetype of human life. Perhaps it may help bridge the chasm which now exists between the present crop of high school students and their grandparents. A few items I have kept in dis- creet silence. Delaware is still a small town; and, although there are many features of small town life I cherish, long gossipy small- minded memories are not one of them. The closet for our skele- tons is not large, but neither is it empty. My sources are, simply: my own memories and those of some of my classmates, the four Yearbooks, and the files of the Delaware Daily Gazette. I am es- pecially grateful for the coopera- tion of the Delaware County Dis- trict Public Library, the Delaware County Historical Society, and the editors of The Gazette. I was given permission to use issues of runs in the Gazette files that were not available anywhere else. Many of those file copies -- the more recent ones (because of the quality of the paper) -- are on the verge of disintegration. In a few years the fragile pages I so gently turned will no longer be in existence anywhere in the world.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Delaware High School] INTRODUCTION "Nothing Much Happens in Delaware" Most of the members of the Class of 1932 of Delaware High School, newly Frank B. Willis High School, grew up in this town. Thus most of us understood the element of truth in the old saying, "Nothing much happens in Delaware." The rest of the world may seem to be rushing to a magnificent future--or to the dogs. But this town placidly goes along, or just stays put. It seemed to me during our years in high school. Way off there important things were happening: a Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact, Black Friday on the stock market, Gandhi and civil disobedience in India, Japanese attack on China, Nazi victory in the German Reichstag. But nothing much was happening in Delaware. Although some reports of these great doings were made in the Delaware Daily Gazette, you read that newspaper mainly to find out about local squabbles, sports, fires, who was in jail, who had died, or just the "funny paper." Nothing much happened in Delaware--except on 30 March 1928. That year's great event was not the appearance of a new high school class, but the sudden and shocking death of Senator Frank B. Willis, a home town boy whom many knew personally, on the verge of his campaign for the presidency of the United States. It happened right in Ohio Wesleyan's Gray Chapel as thousands waited excitedly for the GO signal. There had been a colorful and noisy torchlight parade which the Gazette termed a "gigantic Willis-for-Presi- dent parade, . . . one of the greatest events ever recorded in Delaware's history" [Gazette, 27 March 1928]. The C.D.&M. (Columbus, Delaware and Marion Interurban Electric Line), ran eight special cars. And then, while someone was speaking, the senator left the stage "for some fresh air"--and died in the hallway at 9:09 PM, telling his secretary, Charles A. Jones, "I never felt like this in my life. Something is very wrong." A cerebral hemmorhage. It was the secretary who returned to the stage, informed the audience that the senator was ill, and asked them quietly to go home. Except for a half-hearted effort to "stop Hoover," that was the end of that. Ordinarily, however, the illusion of inactivity in this town remained pervasive, born of complacency and a conservative desire to keep things the way they are. Delaware does not produce many boat-rockers. As a result great events which take place elsewhere seem to have little immediate effect. Take this environment and add the natural disinterest of adoslescents in the maneuverings of the adult world, and you can understand why Great Events were little noted, concerned as we were chiefly with classes and school sports, to say nothing of girls--and boys. In retirement I decided it might be instructive to revisit Delaware High School, 1928-1932, to find out what really had been going on. That led me to the title, Delaware High SChool Redivivus, which I knew would please Mrs. Crist (Herrick) and Miss Shults, our Latin teachers.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Delaware High School] relocate our history in the larger context of our changing world, to focus on what was happening in Delaware during those difficult years, and to concentrate on our own history as recaptured from memory, the yearbooks, and especially from the voluminous files of the Gazette and the "Weekly Delhi Echo" which appeared in it on Saturdays. You can go back and relive it. But it wasn't really the way it seemed. Or is it the other way around? The Wide Wide World If a kid in Delaware in the 1920s wanted to see the "wide, wide world" (like Bunky the Monkey on the children's record), all he or she had to do was take the C. D. & M. interurban electric line from the station on the corner of Sandusky and William. One way ran south across the high viaduct twenty-three miles to Columbus. The other way ran twenty-five miles across farm land via Prospect to Marion. Beyond these destinations (plus now and then more exotic travels to Buckeye Lake or Magnetic Springs), what else was there to see? Members of our class will remember fondly the sleek, speedy electric cars, one of them a "parlor car" with revolving seats. Is it a mark of progress that the C. D. & M. no longer exists except as scattered abandoned right-of-way, one of the many victims of the Great Depression? More local transportation for Delaware itself was provided by the Delaware Electric Street Railway Company, which ran "dinkies" along four routes. These small four-wheel, long-overhang cars, which careened over brick-paved streets, must have been modeled after the venerable comic strip, "Toonerville Trolley." One route ran up Sandusky Street, west on Lincoln to Campbell, down past Monnett campus to William Street. Another served the south side via University, Liberty, and back along South Sandusky. An eastern route crossed the Olentangy River and ran along Lake Street. A fourth spur went west on William to meet the Hocking Valley Railroad and, for a while, to connect with another interurban to Magnetic Springs. My memory says they were yellow. But, before the age of color photography, color has a way of disappearing from history. Is it a mark of progress that Delaware in the 1980s has no provision for public trans- portation whatsoever? At this point Mrs. Crist breaks in with "O tempora! O mores!." The significance of all this is that Delawareans could see the wide, wide world without any trouble at all. It was only more restricted. The little street cars were already gone when the Class of 1932 entered high school. The C. D. & M. lingered until it was finally done in by the Great Depression in 1933. We could go up to Marion in our first year to see what effect the new local "blue laws" were having on Sunday movies or to attend the trial of the theater manager. We could ride down to Columbus for what seemed to us big city life, the state fair, or the amusement park. What else was there? Well, there was radio. The sounds came into the squawking boxes from somewhere outside, placed like KDKA in Pittsburgh. What would we have done without Fibber McGee and Molly, Amos 'n Andy, Billy Jones and Ernie Hare, ". . . . ."

The more intellectual made room for cultural leaders like Walter Damrosch, Paul Whiteman, Will Robers, and Major Bowes. This is to say nothing of the Goldbergs and the Rudy Vallee Show. Who would dare accuse the Class of 1932 of being provincial? A Few Inconsequential Events I suppose our parents paid attention to some other news. Our teachers certainly did, as from time to time they strove to impress on our spongy and slippery minds the importance of these not very real events. Mr. Hoover did not become President of the United States until we were well into our freshman year. The banner headline of the Delaware Daily Gazette for 19 October 1928 reported "Coolidge Stresses Prosperity in Speech Today." We were no more excited by the stock market report a month later that the bulls were "exultant" and the bears "begged for mercy." We had no idea of what lay ahead as we learned in December that one half of one per cent were paying something called an "income tax." By the time we graduated the message had come home clearly, that some of those far-off unreal events could have some very real local effects. Some banks right on Sandusky Street closed for good, our meager savings still lost somewhere inside. "Going out of business" sales visibly changed the appearance of the familiar business district--along with the razing of the Rutherford B. Hayes birthplace and the city hall fire. There were even more distant rumblings, though adults and students alike paid little attention. As we began high school Werner Heisenberg had just knocked the underpinnings from under traditional physics (the kind we were taught) with his Uncertainty Principle, adding another complexity to the already confusing world of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. In 1930 Gandhi began his campaign of civil disobedience in India, which in a few years would bring into being the second most populous nation in the world. In 1931 Japan attacked China in the beginning of a greater Rising Sun. In 1932 the Nazis won control of the German Reichstag. We were already out of school when Mao Tse Tung led his rag-tag army on their "Long March." In act, we were already out when Franklin Delano Roosevelt began the series of moves that would change life in America forever. When we graduated in 1932, the citizens of Delaware, their children, and the rest of the United States and most of the world, were tumbling deep into the heart of the Great Depression. Indeed, very dark clouds were swirling around us all through those four years. But not all was gloomy. Wiley Post and Harold Gatty flew clear around the world in 1931 in only eight and a half days. Partly because of the unsettling principles of Einstein and Heisenberg, deep research was leading to discoveries about atoms and molecules, bacteria and viruses, and the whole universe. There was good news. But many of those clouds were ominous indeed. The freshmen of 1928-29 paid little attention. Much more important was the whirl of school life--and presently, in the spring of 1929, the shock of the fire that destroyed our school building. We waited four years to enter a new one. Now that--that--was something important.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to unlabeled page 6 of Delaware High School] Chapter 1: On the Bottom Runs, 1928-1929 How the Town Looked That Year Delaware always revived after the summer coma. By the time Ohio Wesleyan students re- turned, the city schools were al- ready vibrating. The old brick building on Winter Street, sand- wiched between the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches, be- came a second home for the Class of 1932, fresh from grade school without any transitional adjustment via junior high. Some of us were uneasy. Scared is another word for the way we felt as we moved from the cozier environment of one room and one teacher in a rela- tively modest building to this great hulk of red brick, where, though we still had a "home room," we were sent scurrying by clanging bell from English room to math room to history room to typing room to manual training or (not and) home economics, study hall, after school clubs, and sports. No wonder these new entering freshmen had no time or thought for anything else! Yet this was the year Edmund D. Soper became president of Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity (inaugurated February 15, 1929), and Herbert Hoover was inaugurated on 4 March for a term concurrent with our high school career. We may have heard our par- ents talking about the increasing importance of the automobile. Some of us even had a family car --though few, if any, students even dreamed of owning one themselves. Maybe we thought about buying one of those sleek Nashes sold by Oller Brothers, or the neat Whippet coaches of- fered by Armstrong Sales and Service. A sign of the times was the increase in speed limit on country roads to 45 miles per hour, to go into effect in July, 1929. Six other states had al- ready taken this progressive ac- tion, plus three others which had no limit at all. Delaware was accused of be- ing a speed trap. The Columbus and Marion auto clubs erected warning signs on the highway south and north of town about the arresting habits of Delaware po- lice on Sandusky Street, which was the main urban bottleneck between the two larger cities. The local Chamber of Commerce vigorously denied the charge, and induced the auto clubs to re- move the signs. Another sign of the times was the arrest by Sheriff Main of two men on May 21, who were caught with four gallons of whiskey on a road near Stratford. Although Delaware was an al- most unassailable bastion of tee- totalism, the W.C.T.U., and the Anti-Saloon League, the forces of Demon Rum managed now and then to sneak in. The Gazette dutifully reported cases of citizens who thought the Prohi- bition Amendment did not apply to them. By this time a sizable number thought so, even in Delaware. Except for the trauma of Sen- ator Willis' death, however, it was a relatively quiet year -- until the middle of March, that is. Cussins & Fearn opened a new store at 86 N. Sandusky. Klein's had dress shirts for one dollar. They must have been pretty fancy. Norman Thomas, durable So- cialist Party candidate for presi- dent, and E. Stanley Jones, world-famous evangelist, gave speeches in Gray Chapel. Charles Lindburgh and Anne Morrow were married and went off on a secret honeymoon. The Graf Zeppelin completed a round-the-world flight. School Life In one respect the educational atmosphere in Delaware was normal: The three-person school board was beleaguered. Dr. A. J. Pounds, president, was, as usu- al, adamant in fiscal and political conservatism. He was unflag- gingly supported by Mrs. Martha Battenfield, a devoted volunteer who was serving as secretary of the board. Almost always found voting as a minority of one was the third member, Fred Vergon, who believed that changes and improvements were needed, even at the cost of increased tax- es. Some citizens were calling for the building of a new high school. But Dr. Pounds said there was not going to be any new school, because "the citizens of Delaware are not favorable to the building of a new high school" [Gazette, 3 February 1928]. Thereupon a local and vocal at- torney, Francis M. Marriott, Kiwa- nis Club president, let loose a broadside. He said the high school was no longer first class, because of the "inefficiency and thimble-mindedness of the ma- jority members [of the board]." They should either "gracefully re- sign," or "become so ashamed of their lassitude that they will make amends for their two years of so- porific inactivity" [Gazette, 21 February 1929]. The Superintendent, W. R. Ash, was caught in the middle. He recommended efforts to re- lieve general crowding by provid- ing more rooms, more teachers, a two-session day plan, and ex- clusion of non-resident pupils. The high school library must be "radically improved." He recog- nized the problem of using text- books of varying editions, sup- ported raises for teachers, and the employment of a full-time school nurse. He was fired for his pains by the usual vote, Vergon alone supporting the superinten- dent. R. D. Conrad was an- nounced as the new administra- tor, effective in June, 1928. Another uproar -- all this be- fore the freshmen began their years -- arose over a demonstration in mid-summer by the recently graduated members of the Glass of 1928 in front of Dr. Pounds' William Street home. The principal of the high school was held responsible and fired, even though there was no evi- dence that he was in any way in- volved or even knew of the plan. T. M. Buck was elected the new Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School 1928-1932 (p. 6) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/16f8d0ff9933eb0ca2657d4b1f9abd06.jpg c4b8066e72ec34092ab1b6cdd2d25ab6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A letter of protest against this alleged injustice, signed by Guy Anderson, Mrs. B. T. Cartmell, and Francis M. Mar- riott, was printed in the Gazette [4 August 1928], to no avail. If all this could take place in placid Delaware in the doldrums of summer, how did that saying, "Nothing much happens in Delaware," get started? Maybe it only seemed that way. These doings of the grown- ups had little impact on entering freshmen. Even the defeat in November of a 2-mill school levy, blamed on lack of confidence in the school board, was not at the forefront of student minds. Much more important was the new plan for Delaware High School to en- ter the Tecumseh League for football. It then consisted of Marysville, London, Urbana, and Bellefontaine. Exciting also was the victory of the basketball squad over Granville, 26-24, in early February. Turley, Burch, Knight, Myers, Burnstead, Oller, Ketterling, Platz, and Gallant be- came heroes overnight. If the seniors during our first year appeared high and lifted up, the reason is, they were. The class officers were outstanding: President Cecil Jones, Vice Pres- ident Herbert Whitacre, Secretary Mary Ludman, and Treasurer Corinne Timmons. The Dramatic Club was graced for four years by Lois Brower, who was presi- dent during our first year. Also active for four years were Alberta McFadden, Cecil Jones, Herb Whitacre, and Vernon Willis. President of Hi-Y was Myron Dixon, who was active also in dramatics and debate. Participat- ing in almost everything was Al- berta McFadden, president of the Girl Reserves. Musically inclined was Gwendolyn Sautter, presi- dent of the Glee Club and pianist for the Freshman Girls' Glee Club. All-Around sports figures were Vernon Willis and Arthur Bum- stead. Hallie Cunningham adorned the 1929 Yearbook with pen and ink drawings. One of the most impressive achievements was marked by the debate teams (affirmative Leo Stone, Myron Dixon, John Moist, and negative Elmer McFadden, Alberta Mc- Fadden, and Cecil Jones). Even when Jones fainted in a debate with Galion, the two McFaddens carried on to another victory. In early February the freshman class elected its officers: Presi- dent Marion Hubbart, Vice Presi- dent Frederick Norwood, Secre- tary Betty Ropp, Treasurer Pauline Perley. Freshman girls were also ac- tive in music. A new Freshman Girls' Glee Club grew quite large, led by President Helen Laird, Secretary Violet Knight, and Li- brarian Margaret Anne Freshwa- ter. Now that I think of it, there were indeed innovations pro- duced by our class. In March [Gazette 16 March] a new publi- cation was reported. "A Dog's Life," which had been circulating around school. Edited by Robert Newcomb, though staffed by up- per class students, this publica- tion, whatever else it accom- plished, stimulated the organiza- tion under school sponsorship of a Reporters' Club, whose mem- bers could share in writing re- ports on school life for the Satur- day edition of the Gazette. Annie F. Kellogg was desginated super- visor of the new project. Need- less to say, "A Dog's Life" had no supervisor. The "Dog," however, did not expire. In April it was still going around under the title "La vie d'un chien," edited by New- comb, Abbott (Bill) Rice, and Elmer McFadden. A more durable product was the "Weekly Delhi Echo," which continued to appear regularly in the Saturday Gazette. Without it this history could not have been written in such rich colors. The lowly freshmen were mak- ing their presence felt, even though they were not able to en- ter very far into the student power structure. Most organizations were dominated by upper-class leaders. Nevertheless, the "April Showers" tea given by the Girl Reserves in the Presbyterian Church featured a string quartet composed of Judy Ziegler, Ruth and Barbara LeBaron, and Mari- on Hubbart. This event had origi- nally been set as a "St. Patrick's" tea at school. The change of name and place gives evidence of the disruptive effects of the great fire. The Hi-Y elected offi- cers in April: President Bill Rice, Vice-President Paul Gardner, Secretary Herbert Soper, and Treasurer Fred Herr. The fire also explains the location of the May band concert, directed by Vayne Galliday at St. Mary's Parochial School, the senior high play, "A Lucky Break," directed by Ber- nice Moran before 1,000 people in Gray Chapel, and the senior chapel in Sanborn Hall of Ohio Wesleyan. But freshmen shone in May as they won a debate with the sophomores on the issue, "Re- solved, that the jury system should be abolished." The team was Polly Perley, Betty Higley, Margaret Anne Freshwater, and Sherman Moist as alternate. There was even a freshman on the new girls' basketball team, Betty Ropp, who was the only one to persevere through the whole year. Then came senior commence- ment in Gray Chapel. Judge Flo- rence Allen addressed the 95 graduates. Then the year was all over, the freshmen rose a notch, and had a class to look down on the following year. The Great Fire Of course the entire flow of school life was totally disrupted by the firey event of 14 March, when more than half of the old, already inadequate high school was destroyed, and much of the rest, the surviving north wing, was water-damaged. All the stu- dents knew that at least this great event in the history of Delaware had an immediate and devastat- ing effect on them. They would live with this sobering knowledge for the rest of their high school years. The weather was almost spring-like the middle of that March.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to unlabeled page 8 of Delaware High School] old brick building fronting on Win- ter Street began to belch smoke and flames, it was a fine specta- tor sport as firemen struggled for over two hours in the evening to bring the conflagration under control. The emotions of high schoolers were mixed. As chil- dren they exulted in the superb spectacle: The school is burning down! As aspiring graduates, they shuddered: How can I get a diploma for my life's work? It was exciting for a while to enjoy an impressive show, to watch firemen and police rushing about, to stand with the crowd across the street, to see the bursts of flame from the rear parts and smell the billows of smoke which rose high in the evening sky. Soon, however, a sobering reaction set in, especial- ly the morning after. Some stu- dents who had eluded authorities brought out sodden charred lumps from their desks -- what was left of their cherished-hated school books. A little later, through a smart action by Super- intendent Conrad, all remnants from desks in home rooms and study hall were gathered in indi- vidual bags with student names. Thus was brought home to our excited consciousness the mess we were in. That week's "Delaware High School Notes" (not yet "Weekly Delhi Echo") in the Gazette be- gan with a rather somber para- graph: "As students of Delaware High School we feel sudden collapse of the old school life. No longer are the study halls and the home room assemblies. We carry on our program much in the same old spirit, but we are crowded; so crowded that some activities must be temporarily discontin- ued. This is unfortunate, but we wait, hoping and believing that a new school will be forthcoming, with plenty of room and equip- ment, safe and beautiful. We can carry on in the old building, but not for long. Delaware High School is a growing organization, one of the most important in the city, but it is not self-supporting. It must be supported by the taxpay- ers. A new building will cost mon- ey, but it will be worth all it may cost. It will be a common meeting place for the community, where we can work and play to- gether, can learn to be useful citi- zens, can learn to live. Adolescents are resilient. The extraordinarily long report went to announce that classes in chem- istry and physics would resume Monday in temporary quarters in the ground floor at West Elemen- tary School a few blocks out Win- ter Street. We did not know that those "temporary" facilities would be used for the next four years. Only four days after the fire, on Monday, when classes more or less resumed, the annual ath- letic banquet, held in Bun's Colo- nial Room, honored the football team and boys' and girls' basket- ball teams, with speeches by ev- eryone from Professor Ben Arne- son and Coach Mac Barr to Mrs. Battenfield and Superintendent Conrad. Forty had signed up with Coach Fred Neff for the new track program. The Aeroplane Club, local chapter of the Aero- plane Model League of America, went on as if nothing had hap- pened under the direction of Mr. Preston. Yet throughout there was sad- ness, "The condition of our library is extremely altered...The books, partially burned and water- soaked, are piled in Room 22." Usable volumes will be placed on new shelves in the sewing room on the third floor of the surviving north wing and that will become the new library. Damaged vol- umes will be repaired if possible. Books will circulate as early as next week. As school officials and state fire marshals and engineers as- sessed the damage, it was clear that a fire door and partition had limited direct fire damage to the south wing. The north wing was intact, but it had suffered from much smoke and water damage. The state fire inspectors left no room for complacency. The whole building, including the north wing, was a "fire trap," with- out any fire escapes even from the vulnerable third floor. They tartly reminded the board and school administrators that the need for fire escapes had been urged before, but nothing had been done. The auditorium and study hall, classrooms, laboratories, and the superintendent's office had all been lost. Gradually the pieces of sec- ondary education were patched together. Some classes resumed in the week following the fire. Principal T. M. Buck gave instructions for study hall periods. Students who lived close enough should go home to study. The rest should carry on study hall in the basement of West School. On the 21st a school assembly was held at St. Mary's School. The band missed only one prac- tice session. But the junior class play just barely made it. It had been scheduled for the auditori- um, the scenery was in place, and the dress rehearsal per- formed. Then suddenly--nothing left. The fire preceded the first performance by just a few hours. "Mother Carey's Chickens" were all burned up. Then came the announce- ment that the play would be given after all on Tuesday evening, with new scenery, in Ohio Wesleyan's Sanborn Hall. And that's what happened. The juniors--Wyford Jones, Mary Jo Main, Genevieve Ewers, Fred Herr, Wendell Hart- ley among them--directed by Ber- nice Moran, put on their show, surrounded by whatever scenery could be "whomped up" over the weekend. Then began a drawn-out, frus- trating, discouraging story. It took a bit of time for the process to get under way, what with emergency band-aid measures. Unbeliev- ably, the first debate was over the question of whether to try for a new building at all. Both in and out of the School Board argu- ments were heard for making do with what was left. Then, when it became clear that not much of anything was left, the arguments swirled around cost, method of financing, authority to act, site, and other controverted problems.

On 11 April the Gazette report- ed that Mr. Vergon and Mrs. Bat- tenfield, under heavy pressure, were resigning to make room for fresh leadership. But Dr. Pounds, the immovable president, refused to resign on the principle that continuing authority was neces- sary under the circumstances. A "citizens' advisory committee" charged that the board had "be- trayed confidence," and that the people generally had lost faith in the board's leadership. At the same time the committee ex- pressed support for the belea- guered new superintendent. A mass meeting proposed names for temporary appoint- ment by Probate Judge Ira C. Gregory. One of the temporary appointees was C. C. Dunlap, who continued in leadership throughout the long process of getting a new building. That process, after the in- evitable decision was made to re- place the old structure, forthwith stumbled into c Conflict over choice of an archi- tect. Over Dunlap's objection Glass & Ramsey of Columbus was chosen. Another fight ensued over site. It seems everyone in town had strong convictions on this. Some, chiefly conservative, wanted to stay on the old site, make use of the unburned north wing, and add it to the south along William Street. Although this would mean acquisition of certain private properties adjoining, it promised, in the short term at least, lower cost. But soon a movement was un- derway to locate along the Olen- tangy River between Winter and William Streets. Another group favored the Girls' Athletic Field, an ample tract to the west held by Ohio Wesleyan. There were other sugges- tions. Superintendent Conrad, one of those with longer vision, urged the necessity of providing wide space as required in mod- ern education, including space for athletics and parking of cars. The Gazette, in attempting a poll, brought inconclusive results. A first report showed 60 per cent in favor of the river site, 16 per cent for the present location, 14 per cent for the Girls' Athletic Field and 7 per cent for the city park. But later tabulation, though it kept large support for the river, put 18 per cent for the Girls' Ath- letic Field, and only 13 per cent for the present location [Gazette, 20 July 1929]. Already the Class of 1932 had completed its first, traumatic year. The struggle over a new building would plague the elders and irri- tate the adolescents for another three years. But we kids had our lives to live. We were more con- cerned about Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Mac Barr's football, scholarship recognition, and beauty queens. Chapter 2: A Second Year, 1929-1930 The World and Delaware As school opened for the new year the stock market was suffering attacks of jitters. But not until the end of Octo- ber did the now famous crash take place, the Black Friday, largely unanticipated. No one, especially high school stu- dents, really understood what lay in store. Signs continued to be am- biguous. The Gazette rport- ed on Nov. 1 a buying orgy: "Nobody seemed to be selling. Everybody is buying." In early December President Hoover told 400 businessmen that "Work" was the best way to stimulate business. By March he was forecasting that the country was coming out of the slump. That would have been inter- esting news to the publishers of the Journal Herald, whose assets were bought by the Gazette. The Journal Herald had begun publishing in 1900 in an effort to balance the po- litical influence of The Gazette, which had been an official expression of the Re- publican Party. Now as Delaware's only newspaper it would henceforth be "indepen- dent." The news was not all lugubrious. In England in September an airplane broke all speed records at 328 miles per hour. At the fall annual conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church Harold Ruopp was appointed to the pastorate of William Street church and Stanley Mullen to Asbury. On Saturday, Oct. 19, Sel- by Stadium, constructed be- tween Henry Street and the Olentangy River, was dedicat- ed. A photograph on the front page of The Gazette [Oct. 22] showed the five participants: Harold Elford the contractor, coach George Gauthier, presi- dent Edmund D. Soper, home- coming chairman A. C. Conger, and Mark W. Selby. Early in November there was a "Mardi Gras" Hallowe'en party downtown, which was a great success in spite of rain. Large crowds, some persons in costume, gathered in the business sec- tion to watch the parades and celebrations. That winter Professor Har- lan T. Stetson of Ohio Wes- leyan reported that there may exist a hitherto unknown plan- et outside the orbit of Nep- tune. Terrible news was the holo- caust at the grim Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus, where in April 317 convicts lost their lives in a fire which completely destroyed one en- tire cell block. This was anoth- er sad chapter in a continuing disreputable side of Ohio his- tory, its penal system.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to unlabeled page 10 of Delaware High School] Closer to Delaware, howev- er, was the happy arrival at the end of May of the Robbins Brothers Circus, in a train composed of 30 cars. A long parade down Sandusky Street helped take accumulating troubles off people's minds. And the Jane M. Case Hospi- tal drive was successful at over $100,000. These events tended to overshadow other affairs. Eugene O'Neill won the Pulitzer Prize for "Strange In- terlude" and Thomas Mann the Nobel Prize, William Faulkner came out with "Sar- toris" and "The Sound and the Fury", Ernest Hemingway with "A Farewell to Arms", Sinclair Lewis with "Dodsworth", Erich Maria Remarque with "All Qui- et on the Western Front", and Thomas Wolfe with "Look Homeward, Angel". John Dewey wrote "The Quest for Certainty", Walter Lippmann "Preface to Morals", Bertrand Russell "Marriage and Morals", while Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Lyonel Feininger, and Georgia O'- Keefe were painting. Aaron Copeland com- posed "Symphonic Ode," George Gershwin "Show Girl," and Cole Porter "Fifty Million Frenchmen." But people were humming "Stardust," "Tiptoe Through the Tulips," and "Sin- gin' in the Rain." Building Pains One persistent theme coursed through the entire sophomores year: the new high school building. All con- cerned, including the new school board, now were agreed on the necessity. That was all they were agreed on. Problems centered on the choice of site, choice of archi- tect, amount and method of fi- nancing, and legality. When attorneys got into the act, the whole process ground to a halt. At the end of a year and a half of talk and conflict, Delaware was no closer to a new high school than at the beginning. The frustrations of public servants were excruciating. No sooner was a decision made, usually painfully, than protest, including legal ac- tions, grew louder. No one benefited except the lawyers. The chief losers, however, were the students, who some- how managed to keep on us- ing temporary facilities -- or none at all -- for education, sports, culture, and recre- ation. But most important, and almost miraculously, the high schoolers were educated, for the most part well educated. What the teaching staff had to sacrifice has never been told. Information oozed out about the condition of class- rooms, the state of the library, problems of study periods, all the rest; and presently the squeeze of the Depression re- sulted in restricted budgets, abandoned projects, and low- er salaries. But the educational pro- cess, using something a bit better than Mark Hopkins' log, survived. So did the students. It helped to be young in those days. Fire and Depression were a "double whammy" (comic page jargon of the times). The Class of 1932 was in the eye of the storm. Its histo- ry coincided with the four- year struggle to build a new building, and ended in the darkest year of the Depres- sion. It barely managed to stage its senior play and the junior-senior banquet in what was to become -- next year -- Frank B. Willis High School. Well, The Gazette reported [Oct. 1, 1929] that six of the seven houses on William Street, which occupied space needed for the new building, had been acquired. Contracts would be let the end of the month, and construction would begin "soon." There was still grumbling over the choice of site which would permit use of the surviving north wing but offered very constricted space. But the board forged ahead and re- ceived bids. Enter the lawyers, engaged by citizens opposed to the ac- tions of the school board. G. K. Hoffman, M. C. Russell, G. E. Gauthier, H. M. Bing, J. P. Salter, and W. H. Bodurtha filed suit in the court of com- mon pleas, and Judge H. W. Jewel granted a restraining order which prevented any ac- tion. The plot thickened, and progress went "like tar uphill in January." The suit argued that the bond issue for $400,000 was illegal because of improper bidding and lack of approval by the voters. F. M. Marriott, Jr. and Russell Knep- per argued the case in November. On Nov. 18 Judge E. W. Porter (of Marysville) declared the bonds illegal. Hence, as the newspaper averred, "Delaware is no nearer to hav- ing a new high school than it was immediately after the dis- astrous fire of last March." The school board thought at first that it would appeal the decision, then decided to with- draw the appeal. In the mean- time a new board had been elected with members Dunlap, McFadden, and Vergon. When the city solicitor, H. D. House, refused to allow the appeal to be withdrawn, the board asked Marriott to file the papers. In June (after the completion of our sophomore year) the Court of Appeals re- versed Judge Porter's deci- sion and declared the bonds legal after all. When it became apparent Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School 1928-1932 (p. 10) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/dd9613bf97139525775b225a854d2601.jpg 7800942b9c2fe9549dd65b82157fbc59 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to unlabeled page 11 of Delaware High School] that no further appeal would be made, the board met to re- sume planning. It hoped that construction could begin by fall. But only one reef had been crossed. The question of site was still not completely settled. It was 1930. What Was Really Going On Turley was the durable hero in football, along with Oller, Kettering, and others. Early on Delaware beat Marysville 19- 0. The following week the team defeated Westerville 20- 0. The "Barr machine" began to look invincible -- till Mount Vernon punctured the balloon with a crushing 40-7 victory over Delaware. Then came two more DHS victories, over Granville and Upper San- dusky, followed in early November by a defeat at the hands of Galion, 19-0. By this time members of our class were becoming prominent. Paul Sell, Dick Swearengin, Bud Rybolt, Sam Roberts, and Myron Stegner were already experienced on the field. And Fleming, Wilgus, Downing, Elston, Coover, Hilborn, Sell and Bright won the inter-class basketball tour- nament. Ropp was joined on the girls' basketball squad by Wilma Krichbaum, Marion Hubbart, and Marie Jones. The successful athletic year was proved as DHS won both football championships in the Tecumseh League. The bas- ketball team, taking first place in the League with defeat of Bellefontaine, 36-08, went on to become in March "undis- puted champion." Jesse Brod- nax was a new star in the 100-yard dash. No wonder students had little place for the troubles of the school board! Yet hope unfulfilled gnawed unconsciously as they had to put up with all sorts of ar- rangements for classes, study halls, assemblies, lunch, li- brary, and innumerable small inconveniences. There was more immediate interest in the discussions the board had with the superin- tendent and principal about secret fraternities and sorori- ties. Conrad made the point that, since these organiza- tions were only partly in- school activities, parents also held responsibility. Existence of secret organizations like these was chiefly the respon- sibility of the home. But he had membership lists and had talked with officers. A more properly education- al enterprise was organization of a Quill and Scroll Club to encourage writing. The seven members were president Vance Bell, Charles Hamilton, Gladine Moses, Frank Fagley, Elizabeth Mackley, Helen Dixon, and Robert Newcomb. Study halls continued to be a problem. Students did their reading and homework in a variety of locations: home, downtown stores, city hall, cars, even the sidewalk. For out-of-town students the second-floor hallway was being readied, with better lighting and armchairs. Stricter discipline in use of study periods was being intro- duced. High honors in the Central District scholarship test went to Bill Rice, Betty Huffman, Marie Jones, Gilbert Barnes, Elton Woodbury, and Lloyd Morrison. DHS accumulated enough points to rank fourth in the district. The new Student Council included the class officers for the sophomore year, presi- dent Paul Sell, vice president Robert Hartley, secretary Robert Newcomb, and trea- surer Margaret Anne Fresh- water. Our class was well rep- resented on the debate team - - Newcomb, Freshwater, and Higley. On a lighter note, yet a learning experience, Elmer McFadden, serving for a day as student mayor, Bill Rice as safety director, and Wendell Hartley as chief of police, engineered the "arrest and conviction" of Superintendent Conrad for trespassing on the circus grounds. He was sen- tenced to 30 days in jail and $100 fine, all remitted for good behavior. A regular "School of the Air" now came over the school ra- dio, that magical machine which broadcasts sound with- out any wires, between two and three in the afternoon. The glee clubs put on an op- eretta in April in the City Build- ing, "Riding Down the Sky," with a cast of 140. At Asbury church, Katherine King won the Prince of Peace medal given by the Ohio Council of Churches. Second place went to Betty Higley; third to Helen Eagon, and fourth to Elmer McFadden. Students were glad to learn (end of June) that Ruth Board- man had been appointed prin- cipal of West School, where many had done elementary training. Later it was renamed in her honor. Sixty-year alumni of the Class of 1932 have long since gotten used to the loss of class- mates -- though not without pain. But in our sophomore year we were unprepared for the untimely death of two of our classmates, Mary Helen Row- land and Darlene Turney. We were learning a lesson not taught in classes, that death is a part of life. We should learn it again as World War II clouded the horizon.

But they were still ahead -- Herr, Anson, Hartley, LeBaron, McFadden, Rice, and the rest. But watch out! The Class of 1932 was coming up fast! Chapter 3: Upperclass Juniors in Action One of the most exciting events of the junior year took place during the summer: Gib Barnes was chased in Canada by a black bear. He also took a 160-mile canoe trip [Gazette, Sept. 20, 1930]. More officially, the school year began on Sept. 2 with an opening assembly at Sanborn Hall, where the band played "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here." The new high school principal, G. W. Stuart, presided. Frances Sell, president of Girl Reserves, and Leo Stone, president of Hi- Y, spoke. Toward the end of the month class elections were held. Ju- niors were headed by Elton Woodbury, Miles Hall, Dale Main, and Sherman Moist. What had happened to that feminist movement that dominated our first year? Senior class officers were Philip Edgar, Charles Hamilton, Ruth Carson, and Frank Fagley. Although we were now upperclassmen, we still had these seniors to contend with -- Louise Hartman, Edson Anderson, Clara Bundy, Dorothy Conrad, Mary Emma Emerson, John Shindoler, and lots of other talent. But Gilbert Barnes, who had tied with Merle Law), Marion Hubbart, and Marie Jones were on Student Council; Bob Hartley, Sherman Moist, and Helen Laird were ed- itors of the "Weekly Delhi Echo"; Don Mackley won an al- titude record for model planes. Juniors were thus coming into leadership in all aspects of school life. This was true in sports as well. Although John Turley was still outstanding in football, the team could not have got along without Sell, Roberts, Rybolt, Kettering, and Fleming. This season they won all their games except one tie. When the Tecumseh League fell apart at the end of the season, Delaware High School, which had held the League football trophy for two years, was given permanent possession. Juniors were equally active in the strong basketball team: El- ston, Hilborn, Stegner, Bright, Sell, and Roberts. The girls' basketball team continued to enjoy the participation of Betty Ropp, who had played three years ever since the team was organized, and Wilma Krich- baum. Helen Laird was the team manager. As if this were not enough for juniors, both Marie Jones and William (Bus) Austin were regular cheerlead- ers. Some activities would sur- prise high schoolers of a later generation. There was an active Junior Latin Club with Elton Woodbury as president. Polly Perley was chairman of the pro- gram committee for the first meeting, which began with the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" in Latin, Betty Higley spoke on Roman women and Katherine King on Roman hous- es. This meeting extended sym- metrically with the singing of "America" in Latin. The next meeting, under the direction of Fred Norwood, began with his report on Roman gods. This was followed by the recounting of ancient myths by Woodbury, Barnes, Victor Davis, and Es- ther Carnes. Harriet Worline, Marion Hubbart, and Dawer- ance Skatzes would lead the next meeting. Toward the end of fall, on Nov. 3, the high school cafete- ria, which had been left in shambles by the fire more than a year and a half before, opened. Macaroni and cheese could be had for five cents and milk for three cents. Students began to hear of some newcomers, kids called freshmen, like the 25 girls in the Freshmen Girls' Glee Club, led by president Lois Zeigler, vice president Mary Belle Whitacre, secretary Eleanor Kissner, and librarian Hester Denny, along Janet Benton, Florence Stetson, and other aspiring beauties. Among the boys of that class were David Grube, Wesley Leas (already active as drum major), Jim McKinnie, and younger members of the Moist, O'Keefe, and Swearengin fami- lies. What were you kids like these doing in high school? The junior class party, which had been scheduled for Jan. 13 at Della Dana Studio, was final- ly held over a month later at West School. Marie Jones was head of the planning commit- tee. Besides an hour of dancing to the school's popular orches- tra were songs by the boys' quartet and readings by Betty Higley and Smith Fry. Another gala winter event was the Girl Reserves play, "The Pied Piper of Hamlin," which took place in the Opera House (old City Hall) on March 5. Dorothy Conrad was the piper, luring some 30 elementary children with her magic instrument. Vivian Coul- ter, Margaret Sharadin, Betty Higley, and Katherine King had parts. In April the band put on a half-hour broadcast over WAIV in Columbus, part of "Neighbor Palmer's Noon Hour." The scholarly record of Delaware High School contin- ued strong, seniors William O'Neal and Leo Stone scoring high and some of the juniors placing in state contests. Some happenings were little noted at the time because only a few witnessed them, but they loom large in the memories of some students. Mr. Galliday be- came an instant hero as he ef- fectively used a fire extinguish- er on a grease fire in the home ec oven on the third floor.

The ingenuity of students in coping with the crowded library and inadequate facilities for study is illustrated by the boy, who unable to get further into the library, sat in the hall out- side, making sure he had his feet through the door. There was a school rule against studying in the hall outside. The "Weekly Delhi Echo" leaves the impression he got away with it [Gazette, April 11]. Then came baccalaureate again (Rev. Harold Ruopp speaking) and commencement in Gray Chapel on June 5. After school was over, the announce- ment was made of a new athlet- ic coach, Ervin F. Carlisle, who had been a star quarterback in O.W.U. football. There would also be two new teachers next year, Dorothy Bussard in French and Dean C. Friedley in mathematics. Another recent teacher was Maxson Greene. Troubles on the horizon were suggested by the decision of the school board to set start of school the following year for Sept. 14, 12 days later than the past year, for a school year of 172 school days instead of 181. The board had learned in Jan- uary that it would face a 10 per- cent cut in its budget, largely as a result of delinquent taxes. The school system was not alone in facing rigors of a deep- ening economic depression. Still Not Brick on Another The tempers of public ser- vants were beginning to run short fuses. Even patient volun- teers could take just so much frustration. The school board, having dismissed architects Glass & Ramsey, voted (the usual two-to-one, only this time Dunlap in the minority) to en- gage McLaughlin and Associ- ates of Lima to prepare new plans. Dunlap wanted a citi- zens' committee to participate in making the choice [Gazette, Sept. 3, 1930]. But the citizens' advisory committee resigned in less than two weeks because of the continuing divisions in the school board. Dunlap believed the board should forget the past and rehire Glass & Ramsey. The board decided to pay Glass & Ramsey for its services a total of $10,000, which the ar- chitectural firm rejected as inad- equate. An arbitrated settle- ment of $12,000 was finally ac- cepted. In early November McLaughlin and Associates re- ceived a final contract, and at the beginning of the next month new plans were accepted by the board (Gazette, Sept. 13 smf17; Oct. 24; Nov. 6, and Dec. 3). Work would begin in spring, it was said, on a three-story build- ing including an 850-seat audi- torium and gym wing. Another calendar year had gone by. It seemed that in February and March that these intentions were being implemented. The Gazette headline for Feb. 6 was "Building May Be Ready for Use Next Fall." Construction bids would be received on April 1 and let around the middle of the month. Construction could begin by May. And Delaware Stumbled On As the autumn winds be- came sharper and threats of snow whispered in the falling leaves, responsible citizens and leaders in both city and state began to fear that the coming winter could work great hardship on the increasing numbers of jobless people and destitute families. There was talk of a special session of the state legislature to deal with unemployment. Before Christ- mas the Delaware Chamber of Commerce set up an employ- ment bureau. But, at the very time when extra action was needed, all agencies found their resources dwindling as tax revenues declined and vol- untary contributions dried up. The chamber of commerce it- self was in trouble because of unpaid dues and reduced membership. The school board was not the only community agency to face a stringent budget. The in- creasing rate of delinquent tax accounts affected everybody. The city government faced a shortage of $16,000 and the county $18,000. Employees' salaries would have to be re- duced, perhaps drastically. Then it was learned that high- way grants from the state would be reduced two-thirds. The economic distress was not alleviated with the coming of spring. 1931 would be worse. The Depression was spreading all over the world. Germany fell into complete fi- nancial collapse, and this brought failure all over Europe. In the midst of this unprece- dented depression, with no end sight, Delaware did what it could. A "Save-the Surplus" campaign in August 1931 was designed to store up food for hungry people the following winter. Relief committees were organized in all counties of Ohio with the slogan "Be Pre- pared" -- for a hard winter. Just possibly the labor pains of the school board helped to conceal in Delaware the broader more systemic illness of the Great Depression. As the Class of 1932 moved into its senior year, however, the effects of economic col- lapse could not be hidden. They were starkly visible right down Sandusky Street. More poignantly, though mostly invis- ible, those effects gnawed in the lives of school children and their parents -- plans deferred, hopes dwindled, self-confi- dence weakened, personal re- lations deteriorated, all on top of the financial problems of families, which now were work- ing down into the lives of chil- dren.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to unlabeled page 14 of Delaware High School] As is usually the case in troubled times, however, things were not all bad. In spite of its own very serious financial prob- lems, Ohio Wesleyan University laid the cornerstone for Stuyvesant Hall, freshmen girls' dormitory, in September 1930. And in August, 1931 the great lens for the university's Perkins Observatory was at last finished and would be installed the fol- lowing month. Wesleyan students -- at least the girls -- found time and energy for shenanigans. The Gazette reported [Nov. 21] that the freshmen and sophomore girls had a riot on Winter Street, complete with hair-pulling and clothes tearing. The hot issue was the requirement laid on freshmen to wear their "bea- nies." The new girls objected also to being ducked in the showers in Monnett Hall and having their faces plastered with flour -- favorite devices of the sophomores for enforcing the beanie rule. They fought their way down Winter Street, cheered on by the male students. The entire night police force was unable to do anything. At last, when the primal in- stincts had worn out, both classes ended by parading vic- toriously down Winter Street. It was not quite clear who had won. Only the police force lost. For a brief moment you could forget the Depression. Also, Eddie O'Keefe of Boy Scout Troop 96 was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout by a Court of Honor. He was the first in Delaware County to attain such a level [Gazette, Sept. 16]. 1930 was the year when in Au- gust the Children's Home at the north end of town was badly damaged by fire. Reconstruc- tion would begin immediately. Some alumni would remember the grand old man of Delaware patriotism, Captain R. H. Kel- logg, Civil War veteran. He was honored on his 87th birthday with 87 roses and many letters from school children [Gazette, March 5, 1931]. At the end of that month Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne, with eight oth- ers, died in a plane crash. Nicholas Longworth, longtime Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, died a week later. In April in Columbus a bill to permit Sunday movies was ap- proved 71 to 42. And in mid- summer Billy Sunday ad- dressed-- if that is the word-- hundreds in William Street Methodist church gathered for a dry rally. He was "aged but still vigorous" and let loose a "rapid fire line of stories" [Gazette, July 10. All in all, it was quite a year in Delaware, where nothing much happens. Chapter 4: Seniors at Last 1931-1932 A New High School Building -- Almost Even the Delaware Daily Gazette seemed to be weary of the long, drawn-out story. It had very lit- tle to say of the actual construction. After a brief restraining suit in June, which was quickly thrown out, the lawyers seemed too willing to let things go ahead. The final razing of the hulk of the south wing and the mess of underground preparation were accomplished. That fall, high schoolers could see beginnings on William Street, watch progress from the old north wing, and hear the whine of saws and the clatter of hammers. It was really happening! Citizens were treated to an artist's conception of the planned structure on the front page of The Gazette on Oct. 22. The accompanying account, still incorrigibly optimistic, said the work "nears completion." Bids have been entered for furnishings and equipment. Over 100 men were at work (in stark contrast to the other hundreds who had lost their jobs and couldn't find any work). The gymna- sium would be finished first, by Dec. 1 (but it wasn't). Then would come the auditorium. Gradually, in 1932, portions of the new structure were available for at least partial use. But what would become Frank B. Willis High School would not be finally ready until the following school year. By that time the last class to graduate from Delaware High School would be out in the world. The Great Depression If we are to understand properly the true history of the Class of 1932, it must be cast in the context of the Great Depression. Although our minds were largely on other things, that threatening backdrop was al- ways there, setting the parameters of our education and our lives. We in Delaware were part of an immense upheaval, caused by economic col- lapse and expressed throughout the entire structure of society. Much of the large action took place elsewhere. President Hoover that fall proposed a "stupendous prosperity plan" [Gazette, Oct. 7, 1931], including a fund by the na- tion's bankers to rescue failing banks. It was certainly high time. Major banks in places like Youngstown were closing their doors -- with de- positors' savings inside. In Delaware the Deposit Banking Company closed, then the Delaware Savings Bank. Depositors of course lost ev- erything they had. There was no FDIC or FSLIC. This led to the in- sertion of a front-page accounce- ment [Gazette, Oct. 24] by the First National Bank and the Delaware County National Bank that both in- stitutions were solvent and open for business. The state was heading for a finan- cial crisis, but so also were other forms of government, including school systems. All over Ohio voters turned down tax and bond issues. Collection of taxes already on the books was becoming more and more difficult as properties and businesses fell delinquent. After the elections of November it was feared that some 30 school systems in the state would have to close. Schools in Marysville were already closed, although they expected to reopen in January with other funds. The Delaware city council learned that there would be a large shortage for operation next year. In December both police and fire per- sonnel were without pay until Jan- uary. The Jane M.

Description An account of the resource [page 15] [corresponds to unlabeled page 15 of Delaware High School] feared it might have to close down. That month also came a great "hunger march" on Washington by the unemployed. The coal fields of southern Ohio were the scene of continual unrest, agitation, and suf- fering. The Hocking Valley Railroad, which ran its long coal trains through the western side of Delaware, was in deep financial trouble. By April miners and strikers were in pitched battle near Zanesville, and the National Guard was called out. Right in Delaware the Depression became more and more evident. The Gazette ran a full-page ad by the Bentz Variety Store, which had been in business for nine years, announc- ing that it was closing out. "The end has come." About the same time the Delaware County Agricultural Ex- tension Service closed because it had run out of money. Rumor multiplied the sense of disaster. President Soper had to make a firm official denial of the ru- mor that Ohio Wesleyan University would not open in the fall. But there was cruel substance to the 10 per cent salary cuts; these following a first 10 percent cut in the fall of 1931. In addition, thirty faculty posi- tions were being abolished. Those were the sad facts. Before we leave this unhappy story to deal with the magnificent theme of our senior year, let us give sober thought to the effects of depression years on our lives as students. They are diffi- cult to measure, partly because we were affected differently, and partly because those effects were in large degree emotional and mental. The Depression played its part, for better of worse, in molding our personalities. Maybe we learned how to deal with adversity at an ear- ly age. But from its effects we, even at our 50th and 60th reunions, are not yet completely free. Our whole generation still bends down to pick up pennies, turn off lights, and save things. Some of us escaped largely un- scathed by hard times. Others of us saw our fathers out of work, our families without income and some- times without shelter, our mothers desperate to find food bargains, our- selves or our brothers or sisters de- prived of the chance to get ahead. Some of us were marked for life. If not we ourselves, we saw our neigh- bors, our friends, our relatives, go under financially. Most endured all of it silently -- we didn't talk much about it in class and cafeteria. But we knew what was happening to us. There was pain, but it was private pain, usually known only in families, which had yet been taught to seek succor from the government. There was no un- employment relief, no social safety net. Men would work at any job, crowding out the children who might have done the work for the pittance wage. I spoke of permanent marks. Some of us learned to shy away from any personal relationship that might imply future obligation on which we might not be able to deliv- er. Personalities could be stunted as young people from depressed fami- lies turned away from anything that might cost money, might reveal poverty. We learned not to plan for the future. Was there any future for anybody in 1932.? Overstated? Perhaps, because there turned out to be a future for most of us after all. But that was not at all clear as we worked up toward commencement. Hope and expecta- tion, promise and possibility, existed for us too. But they were exceeding- ly tender plants. For escape from rigors of real life there were the funny papers: "Bring- ing Up Father," Joe Jinks," "Fritzi Ritz," "Little Mary Mixup." "Ben- ny," and "Looie." Or you could read the daily segment of Robert Terry Shannon's serial novel, The Love Trap. When that ran out, it was fol- lowed by Hazel Livingston's Em- bers of Love. If you just had to get out of town altogether, you could buy a round- trip ticket all the way to Cleveland on the Big Four Railroad for $2.35. It was cheaper, however, to stay at home and eat a big 5-cent Isaly's ice cream cone, or really live it up with whipped cream for 15 cents a pint. Yet it was our senior year Did the Class of 1932 succumb to gloom and depression? Of course not. After waiting three years we were seniors with nobody ahead of us, and only what sometimes seemed like little kids behind. Well, there were John Heinlen and John Sells and David Conrad, to say noth- ing of junior and sophomore girls of note. Privately we might admit con- siderable talent down the line; but they could wait their turn. We were the seniors, and everybody better know it. It was a heady feeling with the world open before us -- such as it was. We might even do a lick or two to fix that! School opened on Sept. 14, near- ly two weeks late because of the fi- nancial crisis. The "Weekly Delhi Echo," which got under way in the Gazette on Oct. 3, included Kathryn Chivington, Margaret Ann Freshwa- ter, and Helen Johnston on the staff. Senior class elections were held on Nov. 7. Frederick Norwood was elected president, Helen Eagon (who had tied with Walter Rybolt), vice president, Gilbert Barnes, secretary, and Margaret Anne Freshwater, trea- surer. In the Girl Reserves Marion Hub- bard was president, Katherine King vice president, Esther West, secre- tary, and Marie Jones, treasurer. Katherine Beck was president of the Senior Triangle. She led in such ac- tivities as the Dad's Banquet, where she gave the opening welcome. Part of the program was a skit, "Courtship under Difficulties," by Marie Jones, Katherine King, and Betty Huffman. Both Newcomb and Barnes were successively presidents of the Hi-Y, the other officers being Bob Miller, Smith Fry, and Dale Main. This or- ganization, as well as the Girl Re- serves, had rather overt religious ori- entation, common enough in public schools in the earlier 20th century. The Hi-Y was actually a branch of the YMCA. Our Yearbook, the Del- hi, edited by Newcomb, Barnes, Max Brown, Helen Laird, and Frank Minelli, with help from several other seniors, gives more systematic cov- erage of the school organizations. A bewildering array of organiza- tions proliferated. More than a mere listing here would be boring. Many of them were old standards. Dramat- ic Club, with Smith Fry as president and Violet Knight as vice president, had 50 members. Several factors, in- cluding financial stringency, pre- vented major production; but several one-act plays and numerous skits provided entertainment throughout the school year. The club was unable to take advantage of the new audito- rium because it was not available until the end of the school year, when the senior play was performed there. Margaret Marshman was adviser.

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to unlabeled page 16 of Delaware High School] classes, had large membership and continued active. Betty Higley and Marie Jones were vice president and secretary of the upper class girls' group. Polly Perley accompanied both it and the boys' glee club. Both of these clubs performed at chapels and two high school nights. A double octet, composed of Fred Reider, Smith Fry, Sherman Moist, Robert Hartley, Fred Nor- wood, Robert Newcomb, Frazier Shipps, Richard Steckel, Helen Eagon Betty Higley, Betty Huffman, Helen Shamrock, Violet Knight, Marie Jones, Katherine King, and Ruth Vought, did special numbers. Its first appearance was on Dec. 18 at an assembly in Sanborn Hall, where it celebrated the Christmas season with carols. The Dramatic Club put on a one-act play "Dust of the Road," with seniors Smith Fry and Robert Hartley. The band was very visible as usu- al under the director of Vayne Galli- day. It was seen and heard of course at athletic meets, high school nights, and over radio station WAIV. A magazine subscription campaign helped provide a new bass horn and much needed repairs on uniforms. This outfit showed the school colors, orange and black, more vividly than other means. For some reason seniors were no- tably absent from debate teams. Moist was almost done. It was an off year, and both teams lost their debates. But a new organization, the Debate Society, came into being. Communication skills were also pro- moted through journalism, both in the Quill and Scroll. The officers of the later were all seniors, Newcomb, Hartley, Moist, and Laird. The Kiwi Club continued to en- joy large participation of both boys and girls. Don Mackley was still prominent in leadership and in mak- ing and flying model planes. He was supported by officers Don Johnson, Eleanor Kissner, and Florence Stet- son. There were two strong language clubs, both so large they had two sections. The French club was known as Notre Clique and Entre Nous. At a meeting in April Paul Sell gave a report on the role of the French in the American Revolution. At another meeting Betty Ropp spoke on French cities. The strong showing of Delaware High School in football and basket- ball continued in spite of the diffi- cult change from Coach Mac Barr to Ervin Carlisle. The latter, well known in Delaware for his perfor- mance at Ohio Wesleyan, quickly whipped the football team, which had only seven carryovers, into fighting shape. Junior John Heinlen worked well with Captain Sell to bring a season of victory in spite of a poor start. DHS, in defeating fa- vored Bexley, 7-2, won second place in the Central Buckeye League in which the school now had member- ship. With Ralph Bright, Bud Ry- bolt, Bob Miller, Sam Roberts, Chet Elston, Wayne Hilborn, Cy Fleming, Max Brown on the team, the seniors played a dominant part. The basketball team had a mixed season, but their performance im- proved. There were several hard- fought cliff-hangers. Toward the end of the season the new gym was more or less ready and saw both victories and defeats. One of the new "ene- mies" in the new league was Cir- cleville, which now matched Marysville in rivalry with DHS. That spring Jesse Brodnax was again outstanding in track events. On May 20 he "was easily the star of the meet" [Gazette] in winning the 100-yard dash by 10 feet. Ed Hagaman and Chet Elston also placed. At the same meet Sell set a new record in throwing the javelin 162 feet. In the more formal aspects of ed- ucation the seniors also left their mark. In the preliminary Ohio State Scholarship Contest they took all of the first five places: Woodbury, Newcomb, Norwood, Moist, and O'Keefe. In early May came the District contest, which included rep- resentatives from high schools in 16 central Ohio counties. DHS won third place (after Mount Vernon and Urbana) in overall achievement. Twenty-four of Delawrae's 30 repre- sentatives placed among the upper 10 in various fields. There were four first places and one second; Gretchen Huntsberger first in ninth grade English, William Hollister first in plane geometry, William Grube first in world history, and Newcomb first in 12th grade En- glish. Since Norwood came in sec- ond in the same, DHS had the top two places in senior English. Among other placers were seniors Barnes, Woodbury, Skatzes, and Miriam Rappe. Of smaller educational signifi- cance but perhaps more interesting were some of the personal aspects of adolescent life. This year, so the Gazette reported, girls were wearing dresses with stripes, either vertical or horizontal. These were embel- lished with bright scarves and "roll- your-own" tams. Plus mesh hose. Boys favored corduroys of bright colors, some with jackets to match. The big thing was sewn-in creases. Probably the most spectacular performance of the year was that by Max Rowland in early January, when in a Thursday first-period American history class he inadver- tently lit some kitchen matches in his pants pocket. None of us had known Max as such a high stepper. Some of the seniors were lucky enough to find part-time work to help out with family finances. Some of the girls were babysitting. Hartley had a dry-cleaning job; Harry Phillian worked for Miller & Jones; five seniors had jobs in Bun's Restaurant; Myron Stegner was de- livering milk; Helen Laird had a job at McClellan's Five and Ten. A springtime flurry of excitement was stirring in April by news that Eddie Cantor would judge the beau- ty contest among six girls, two, Frances Pearl Jones and Marion Hubbart, chosen by the student body, Violet Knight by the seniors, Esther West by the juniors, Martha May Galleher by the sophomores, and Gretchen Huntsberger by the freseman. All the seniors know how that came out. Two big events were the senior class party on Dec. 11 and the senior class play on May 20. At the Delaware Club rooms the Christmas party featured duets by Betty Higley and Fred Reider, accompanied by Katherine King; a skit by Eddie O'Keefe and Doris Patterson; anoth- er by Bob Miller and Dick Swearen- gin; and still another by Bud Rybolt, Victor Davis, Bob Ludman, James Wooster, and Chet Elston. Katherine King gave a reading, and Miss Dorothy Bussard sang two songs. After refreshments the evening was given over to dancing and games. The senior class play in the new auditorium was "Seven Keys to Baldpate." This was the first three- act play of the year, as well as the first dramatic performance in the new building. Here is the review in the "Weekly Delhi Echo" [28 May]. "Particularly noticeable was the scenery and lighting effect.

Description An account of the resource [page 17] [corresponds to unlabeled page 17 of Delaware High School] light dimmed, it was not hard to imagine that one was atop the moun- tain at Baldpate Inn, always gravitat- ing toward the warm, glowing fire, which blazed at one end of the inn in a cheery manner. Miss Margaret Marshman deserves special recog- nition for the way in which she put these stage effects across to the au- dience. "Frederick Reider, occupying the center of the stage, kept his audience amused, while Smith Fry, in a role entirely foreign to his nature, han- dled his part with becoming ease. Marie Jones was charming in a part that called for little dramatization. Violet Knight walked away with the feminine acting honors, managing to keep the audience looking her way to see what she might do next. "Dale Main, in an extremely dif- ficult role, reminded us somewhat of Lon Chaney. Every other character in the play had his or her own partic- ular atmosphere to create and did so with amazing ease and noncha- lance." Note was taken in the paper that two of the actors, Wayne Hilborn and Bob Hartley, were acting in the place where their houses formerly had stood but made way for the new school building. Before this year-end event, how- ever, the seniors had "enjoyed" their various roles in governing the city of Delaware for a whole day, Thursday, May 4. A two-party campaign at school between "conservatives" and "liberals" resulted in election of Robert Miller over Sherman Moist as mayor. Wayne Hilborn won over Thomas Klee as president of the council, Margaret Anne Freshwater over Smith Fry as solicitor, Max Rowland over Richard Swearengin as auditor, Harry Phillian over Polly Perley as treasurer. Members of city council were also elected. After filling all the appointive posts, the seniors took over the oper- ation of the city for the day amid il- lusions of power and grandeur [Gazette). Winding down Everything crowded together in the last days of the school year as students but especially seniors tried to wrap it all up -- or rather to wind down from such frenetic excitement. In early May came the senior chapel (the first in the new auditorium), in which they "bade farewell to their public school days" and welcome the new Class of 1936. In this writer's memory the out- standing feature was a melodramatic creation by Frank Minelli and Sher- man Moist entitled "Sam Sinister's Revenge." Directing with skill which suggests comparion with his older brother's (Vincent) fame in Hollywood, Frank brought hero, heroine, dastardly villain, and other such complex characters to a cliff- hanging denouement, rescue at the last minute! Barnes, Moist, Nor- wood, Davis, and Miller were conned into participation. Kathryn Chivington, delivering the prologue from a safe distance, shared fame with the all-male cast. This was fol- lowed by "The Dizzy Baton," direct- ed by Mrs. Julia Sullivan. How Principal George Stuart was able to confer with proper dignity the several awards and honors in the midst of all this muck is a mystery. I guess he did it by coming on first. Awards were given to all placers in the District scholarship contest. De- bate letters went to Moist and some among the seniors. Cheerleader let- ters went to Marie Jones and Bus Austin. Every day now brought ir- refutable evidence that the high school life of the seniors was wind- ing down. On May 27 there took place the Junior-Senior Banquet in the new gymnasium. Margaret Anne Freshwater's special report to the Gazette ran as follows: "The junior-senior banquet held in the high school gym last night be- gan at a high tempo with Miss kathryn King playing some lively tunes on the piano while the group found their places. The gym was decorated in pastel shades of crepe paper streamers which were hung from a drop light so as to form a false ceiling. In each corner of the room there was a red or green light trained on the center of the room. The tables were placed along the east, south and west walls, while the orchestra's flower-covered bower was on the north. Lighted candles, bouquets of flowers, and streamers of vari-colored crepe paper decorat- ed the tables. . . . A program taken partly from "Alice in Wonderland' followed the dinner which was served by the sophomore girls. "The White Rabbit, John Rine- hart, was master of ceremonies. The first number on the program was 'The Mock Turtle's Story' by Lloyd Morrison, president of the junior class. It was in the form of a wel- come to the seniors. Fred Norwood gave, 'Advice from a Caterpillar.' Dodo, known to Delawareans as Frank Minelli, played the 'Saint Louis Blues' on his trusty friend, the harmonica. "Short speeches were given by Humpty Dumpty, Principal G. W. Stuart, and the Red King, Supt. R. D. Conrad. . . . Miss Margaret Marsh- man gave a talk on the 'Cheshire Cat' and how he directed Alice to go in any direction if she didn't care where she went. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the boys' quartet, sang the 'Little Gray church in the Valley' and 'My Gal Sal.' This ended the dinner program. "The prom followed immediately after the banquet. The dance pro- gram followed the style of the dinner with each dance being named by a phrase from 'Alice in Wonderland.' Music was furnished by Held's Or- chestra. The prom ended at 11 o'clock, bringing to an end the out- standing function of the high school year." Earlier that same day the Year- book, Delhi, was distributed, and ev- eryone learned that Pearl was Eddie Cantor's winner. The same week saw the final ac- tivity of the Girl Reserves, the moth- er-daughter banquet in William Street church. After installation of next year's officers came a cafeteria- style dinner and then a program by students and mothers with solos, a mother's quartet, reading and other features. The banquet ended with singing "The Quest," "As the phrase 'We cannot be lonely because we stand together' was sung, the eyes of the seniors were suspiciously misty." [Gazette, 28 May]. There was not much left now, as we staggered into Gray Chapel for Baccalaureate Sunday evening, May 29. Rev. Stanley Mullen, who gave the address "Follow the Gleam," was assisted by several other Delaware ministers. Prof. G. Raymond Hicks played the great organ to provide the processional, "Pomp and Circum- stance," The girl graduates wore white dresses and the boys dark suits.

Dorothy Bussard made the great organ shake with the processional, "War March of the Priests." Rev. Clarence. S. Gee gave the invocation and the string ensem- ble played. James Bevan gave the class oration, and the upper class glee clubs sang. Charles M. New- comb delivered the address, "High Adventure." Honors were awarded by Princi- pal Stuart, especially to Marion Hub- bard and Robert Newcomb as most representative girl and boy in the class. The class was presented by Superintendent Conrad, and C. C. Dunlap, president of the school board, gave out the diplomas. After the singing of the class song, Rev. D. Finley Wood pronounced the bene- diction. For about 100 seniors it was all over. And the new high school build- ing, scarcely used, was waiting for next year's classes. [photo of Frank B. Willis High School] Frank B. Willis High School was completed during the Delaware High School Class of 1932's senior year. The class of about 100 got to use very little of the new structure before graduating in June. The new building, now used as an intermediate school, began full ser- vice in the fall of 1932.

Description An account of the resource [page 19] [corresponds to unlabeled page 19 of Delaware High School] EPILOGUE Looking back over this story, I can't help noting two small items. First, the edition of the Gazette which announced the commencement program ran a full banner across-the-top headline: "CITY WORKERS' SALARIES CUT 5-25 PERCENT." What a world to be turned loose in! Second, I am troubled by the unintended symbolism of the stirring processional, "War March of the Priests." A few years later some of our classmates lost their lives in World War II. I am not a bit troubled by a third sobering thought: We are thinning out because we are growing old. The first two were man-made and part of the burden humans must bear. The last is not of our own doing but a part of life. No one can completely recover the "way it was." We have available only memory and recorded materials. But history properly should include all the way it was--all of the sense impressions that give life. You can't count on ephemeral memory even within a short life span. What color were those absurd "dinkeys"? You can't really see them anymore. Can you really hear the whistle of the Hocking Valley steam locamotive as it rumbled north drawing a hundred laden coal cars one sultry summer evening? And then there is smell. Can you smell the old-time oleo, that ghastly white stuff you had to convert from pale gob to yellow goop by mixing the color in? Can you taste new green peas fresh from your backyard garden or the corn on the cob picked no more than two hours ago? Do you know the feeling of riding your bike on some shady brick-paved street? Much of our high school experience consists of these sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches. Some of it is still in our heads. But we are not too sure about it any more. What was it really like? Maybe this history will help bring back and preserve some of the real story, D. H. S. redivivus!

LEAS [photo] LULU OLDHAM [photo] ROSE C. QUINN [photo] NELLIE E. WILLIAMS SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS BOTANY DEPARTMENT We, the pupils in the Botany classes, are the bus- iest people in Delaware at present, for the wild flow- ers are coming out very fast and we must draw ev- ery one we can lay hands on--which indeed is less of work than of play. Often on recitation days, we take only ten or fif- teen minutes to the day's lesson, and use the rest of the time for making plates of tree blossoms, as well as the smaller and better known flower plants. We have recently completed the subject of roots in our Laboratory Manuals and are now studying buds. At the conclusion of each subject in our Manuals, we write a composition, containing in a nut-shell, all the knowledge we have gained concerning it. We had the--for most of us--novel pleasure, of working with the compound microscopes, at the be- ginning of the semester. ADVANCED ALGEBRA The Juniors at the beginning of the second sem- ester started to study Algebra where they had drop- ped it a year before. Factoring was their first work, which was followed by fractions, linear and quad- ratic equations, and ratio and proportion. Under the careful guidance of Miss Quinn, the pupils, or most of them, completed the preceding work. Algebra, closely related to Geometry, has a long history which goes back to the early Egyptians. Some traces of the subject have appeared in a cer- tain papyrus copied about 1700 B.C. from a work written some centuries earlier. Then it was a science studied by the learned men of the time but now it is a subject studied by all students. 1st YEAR ALGEBRA In Algebra we learn to go to the bottom of things and to think out how and why to do this or that. This is especially interesting because we are taught by the "thoughtful method." We enjoy taking a prob- lem apart so that we can find out for ourselves how to make one similar to it, and, as we make one of each kind, we get to understand how the author writes our text-book. Some of our problems are very hard and nearly "do us," instead of our doing them. When we were working on "Motion Problems" some of us sought help from some of the Seniors and Juniors. We were greatly astonished when we found they had forgot- ten how to work them. But we were still more as- tonished when Miss Oldham told us that we, too, might forget them when we became Seniors because we are not studying problems to remember them but to gain the power to work harder problems. PHYSICS DEPARTMENT After having studied Physics yourself, for a year at least, I am sure you will agree with me that it is one of the most delightful studies on earth. Part of our interest and enjoyment in this great branch of science has been due to our intelligent study of physics itself but, I think, and there is lit- tle doubt but that the rest of the class will agree with me, that we would never have been so absorb- ed in it had it not been for our most interesting teacher. Our laboratory is fully equipped with every sort of apparatus necessary. We have six large tables, which acommodate four persons and six if neces- sary, so, having three classes in Physics as we do, there is room for every one of the class to work com- fortably. Without a doubt our Physics Department is the best and most complete for its size that can be found.

[photo] MARY ABIGAIL PATTERSON LANGUAGES LATIN DEPARTMENT My earliest knowledge of Latin was gained from my father who had been an enthusiastic student of the language in his college days, and who always expressed a desire that I might enjoy it, and profit by it as he had done. That he continued to enjoy it and profit by it was made evident to me, for when- ever at the table a word was used, the meaning of which I did not know, that same word was pretty sure to have been derived from the Latin and the meaning was just as surely to be explained to me somewhat in this way: "This word," let us suppose it was transpose, "comes from the words, trans, meaning across, and pono, meaning to place. Put- ting the two words together we get the meaning, 'to place across.'" I often thought that it was a round- about way of telling me the meaning of a word, but now I see how useful and really easy this method is. Not long ago, in the Botany class, we had the scienti- fic name for the white oak, Quercus alba. At first sight I thought what a strange name, but all its strangeness disappeared when I recalled the Latin words of which it was composed. Latin is the first language I ever studied as a lan- guage, and consequently I have gained most of my knowledge of the structure of language from my study of it. It seems to me I have gained something really valuable in learning how this language is made up of declensions, conjugations, and the like. Then, too, I never before realized how necessary it is to be perfectly accurate in my work. There are so very many things to look after in writing a Latin sentence, and the meaning is so easily changed if the slightest mistake is made that one is compelled to be constantly on the lookout. This is splendid drill in accuracy. For these three reasons I have found Latin a val- uable study for me. GERMAN DEPARTMENT A two years' course is given in German under the competent instruction of Miss Shults. The first year of the course, the essentials of German Grammar are derived from Joyne's and Wesselhoft's Grammar. Practice in conversation and pronunciation is gain- ed from reading the fairy tales in "Marchen and Erzahlungen." "Im Vaterland," begun in the first year and continued in the second, gives information about the schools, army, literature and costumes of Germany. During the second year, the great classic drama, "William Tell," is read, whose author, Schil- ler, is widely known and loved. "Das Edel Blut," by Ernest von Widdenbruch, and "L'Arrahiatta," by Paul Heyse, the most artistic novelist of today, complete the course. LATIN DEPARTMENT One day, not long ago, the teacher of Cicero, mind- ful of the many things which are being said and printed throughout our land concerning the value or lack thereof of the study of Latin, asked her class, just out of a spirit of curiosity, to write in a few words what their opinion of the study of Cicero's orations is. "The Bulletin" is counting its man- agement particularly fortunate in securing some of these and we have pleasure in appending them be- low. That Latin is not considered a dead language, yielding no profit to those who study, is evident to our readers. If we will only endeavor to discover something be- sides the drudgery of looking up words in the study of such a wonderful collection of literature as is found in Cicero's orations, I am sure that we shall find a certain charm and beauty about his telling arguments and logic that will amply repay our la- bors. Indeed, Cicero, rightly studied, gives a great- er appreciation of our own language and increases our vocabulary marvelously.--DANA LATHAM.

Description An account of the resource [page 17] [corresponds to page 15 of DHS Bulletin '15] DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN 15 Miss Wagner's Vergil Class is one of the brightest spots in the High School. The hour is begun by re- viewing in English the lesson of the day before, thus helping us get the thread of the story. Every person reads five or six lines in Latin then translates. We were required to scan the lines at the beginning of the year, but we soon became so skilled that it no longer was necessary. When prose composition comes around and we don't look just exactly happy, our kind teacher assures us that it really is not hard, and sure enough, before we get through, we are quite fond of it. This only shows what great in- genuity Miss Wagner possesses to make things de- lightful. I don't know how Miss Wagner feels about us, but we just dote on her. MARY CATHERINE HILLS, '15. I realize that my three years of Latin have been malus, peior, pessimus, and the "pessimus" state has been reached in this my third year. For I have failed from the standpoint of a scholar. But this does not change my view of third year Latin; for I have profited by it as much, if not more, than by any subject I ever took. I know from experience that "Cicero" increases our vocabulary and our knowledge of history. I can imagine Cicero, a man shrewd and cultured, endowed with the qualities of a wise man. While reading his orations we might think him self- ish but giving much thought to the world. He also wanted to receive something in return and never could he have been honored with a greater monu- ment than that which he created for himself by his letters and orations. He gave the world this thought, that while great paintings might be destroyed, great music might be forgotten, literature lives forever,-- is undying.--LAWRENCE JONES. It seems to me that conspiracies are much more interesting than Gallic wars, therefore I prefer Cic- ero to Caesar; but in general--I must tell the truth --Latin is my worst enemy; I fight Cicero before I go to bed and again before I go to class, but rarely do I gain an undisputed victory. However, after it has been read in class and I understand it, I have enjoyed the story, and, hard as it is for me, I recog- nize the value of the study of Latin.--MARY TAG- GART. For me Latin has been a difficult and disagreeable study from the start. When I was in the first year class I desired to drop it but my parents wouldn't let me, so I kept at it and, in spite of the hard time I've had to get it, I will say, truthfully, that Latin has done more for me than any one study I've taken in High School.--JOHN SHOEMAKER. The study of Latin is conceded to be one of the most efficient means of training the mind; the rigid discipline of the study is at once impressed upon the mind of the first year student. The second year amounts almost to drudgery to one who does not feel himself the possessor of an inborn predilection toward scholarly attainment. But in the third year one begins to feel that the vigorous training in this particular study is not distasteful--would be a real pleasure were it not for occasional and seemingly inopportune "seasons" of prose composition. It is a lamentable fact that appreciation derived from any study depends so largely upon the instructor; there- fore Latin might be a most irksome and unpleasant duty rather than, as we find it, an acceptable "di- version" engendering a genuine respect and admira- tion of Latin,--its language, literature, history, and country.--ROBERT HOOK.

DACKERMAN HISTORY Mrs. Dackerman's history classes are having their usual work in their General History, but besides this they study the Independent Magazine once a week. Every Friday is set aside for this work and some very interesting discussions arise, especially on the great- est topic of all, that is The Great War. The Mentor Magazine is also used extensively, both for its beau- tiful pictures and the descriptions in them. [photo] GENEVRA HUMPHREYS ART DEPARTMENT. The Department of Mechanical Drawing and Art is progressing very nicely, under the capable direc- tion of Miss Humphreys. The number of pupils is increasing from year to year and added interest is being taken in this department by the other mem- bers of the school. The quality of the work is in- deed excellent as is evinced by the art exhibits which have been held. [photo] ANNIE F. KELLOGG 2nd YEAR ENGLISH The "Merchant of Venice" and "Henry V" were the first classics studied by the second year class, the former being a love story, while in "Henry V" we have nothing but the roar and din of battle. When we read "Silas Marner" it proved a very interesting study to watch Silas' character change from the wor- ship of money to the love of his fellowmen. The "Ancient Mariner," with its interesting story of the sea and its great lesson of love to all creatures both great and small, was one of the many delightful clas- sics of the year's work. Besides the reading of the classics, the written composition work was by far not the least important [words cut off] our study. [photo] WINIFRED EDWARDS 3rd YEAR ENGLISH The modern ideal of life is service; and success is measured by one's influence upon his fellows. Judg- ing, then, the characters in "The Tale of Two Cit- ies" by this standdard of service and influence, there is one which stands out pre-eminently above them all. And that one is Sydney Carton. There is an abundance of material from which we may draw a sketch of him--he so closely resembles Charles Darnay, that the facts concerning one may be added with increased interest to a picture of the other. Dickens was inspired to write the story, by this influence, and to augment its effect by the addition of his matchless pathos. And his readers will al- ways remember the hero for that one noble sacrifice, and its noble influence.

CANFIELD [photo] MARIE BIRD BOOKKEEPING AND TYPEWRITING The departments of bookkeeping and typewriting occupy a place of importance in our High School. The bookkeeping class has an enrollment of forty- five pupils this year which is a greater number than were ever enrolled before. The students have shown a decided interest in the work and one scholar, Dar- sie Meacham, finished the year's work in one semes- ter. There are sixty-four pupils enrolled in the typewriting class and they have made fine progress in the work. Grace Eger, Grace Essig, Anne Down- ing, Nellie McCarty, Elsie Moeller, Pauline Nash, Frank Burrer, Chauncy Furniss, Russel House, Hen- ry Hudson, Ralph Thomson, and Ralph VanBrimmer have received pennants awarded by the Remington Co. to pupils who write on new material for ten con- secutive minutes with a net speed of twenty-five words per minute. Also Ralph Thomson made forty- eight words and Leo Wilson made forty-four words in trying for the Intermediate Award, which is a leath- er card case given by the Remington Co. and a net speed of forty words a minute for ten minutes is required. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC The members of our Department of Music, which is conducted by Mr. Canfield, have been doing good work this year. Besides training the Choral Class of one hundred and eighty pupils, Mr. Canfield has directed the High School Orchestra, the Girls Glee Club, the Mixed Quartet, and the Senior Quartet. Probably the most interesting feature of this year's work was the annual concert held at the Opera House, April 23. The excellent training of the pu- pils was displayed and the program rendered was enjoyed by a large audience. The remarks of appre- ciation by those who heard the concert speak very highly of this department of our school. PUBLIC SPEAKING One of the most important and enjoyable of the electives included in the course at Delaware High is the Public Speaking class in charge of Miss Bird. Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible to this class. Practical elocution is studied three days in each week, while the rest of the time is devoted to debat- ing and impromptu speaking. A special program is given every Friday. Debating receives a large share of attention, and is bringing the class before the pub- lic. The annual debate is now an important school affair. The advantages of the study of Public Speaking are many. In the study of Elocution and in the practice of special programs much really good liter- ature is studied and learned. The impromptu speak- ing develops ease and poise of manner. Debating requires research and so at least a general knowl- edge of history and current events is gained. A de- baters must always be on the alert while his opponent is speaking, looking for weak points, and thus he gains in mental quickness and ability. As a result of studying Public Speaking the individuality and personality is strengthened and increased. This is a valuable asset to any person for life. The outlook for next year's class is good, but it is urged that more girls take this course. Too much credit can not be given to Miss Bird, who has been a faithful teacher, and a splendid inspiration to the whole class.

Description An account of the resource [page 20] [corresponds to page 18 of DHS Bulletin '15] 18 DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN A Tribute to Our Teachers While much has been said about teachers as teach- ers, very little has been said concerning them as hu- man beings and molders of character. We all recog- nize and appreciate the part the teachers perform in laying concrete facts before us in such a manner that our minds can readily grasp them, but I wonder how many of us realize and appreciate the great and silent influence for good which our teachers bring to bear upon the lives of those whom they teach. Though it may not be apparent at first thought, I am sure that if we will stop to consider the matter more deeply, the majority of us will find that the teachers do play an important part in the shaping of our lives, and that they have in common with us things of a more sacred nature than mere text-books. Indeed a great many of us have come to look upon our teachers with an affection that is truly beautiful, and many warm friendships between teacher and pupil have sprung up. The causes which have tend- ed to produce these friendships are many and diverse, but from them all two reasons seem to stand forth preeminent. In the first place, the pupils have been enabled by means of various functions to which both teachers and pupils were invited, to come in con- tact with their instructors in a social way. From in- quiry we have discovered that this has been one means of drawing the pupils and teachers closer to- gether, because each recognized and admired in the other traits, with which they had hitherto been un- acquainted. The teachers discovered that their pu- pils were the possessors of qualities other than those of forgetting their lessons and creating disorder, while in turn, the pupils discovered that the teachers whom they had looked upon as cold and reserved, furnished most agreeable and entertaining company. But by far the most vital factor which has tended to increase and cement the friendly relations between teacher and pupil lies in the fact that many of the teachers have come to take a lively and solicitous in- terest in the personal lives of those whom they teach. Though it is most certainly not widely known, nev- ertheless a large amount of personal work is being carried on continuously in the High School by the teachers. Many are the pupils who can gladly testi- fy to the fact that their lives have been touched and changed for the better by the kindly interest which the teachers have taken in their welfare. Herein lies the most fundamental cause for the increased friendship and concord between teacher and pupil, so essential to a successful school, which has taken place during the past year. Of course only those who have taken the trouble to get acquainted with their teachers have really been able to recognize and ap- preciate to what a large extent their thoughts and ideals have been shaped by those who instruct them, but I am sure that each and every one of our lives has been touched and filled by the friendly atmos- phere which our teachers have sought to create, and I am also sure that in the years to come when the times when our thoughts wander back to old D.H.S., are few and far between, that we will then, if we have not already done so, realize and be most sin- cerely thankful for the kind Providence and the wise school board which enabled us to enjoy such noble and unselfish teachers. Then a word must be said in regard to the unsel- fish manner in which the teachers have sacrificed themselves and their time that the undertakings of the school might be successful. Only those directly concerned can rightly conceive what an enormous task confronts the teachers who prepare and stage our Senior plays, yet every year this has been done and done in such a manner that it has reflected glory not only on the class, but on the entire school. Few people can comprehend what seemingly insur- mountable obstacles lie in the paths of those who would successfully publish a school paper. Yet ev- ery year the teachers have by constant effort enabled the board to publish a paper of such excellence that it has brought no small honor to the school. Such is the case with every branch of High School activi- ties, with all branches of athletics, in the prepara- tion for our interscholastic debates; in fact wherev- er unselfish and exacting labor was necessary to push a project through to a successful end, our teach- ers have proved themselves willing and ready. And so in view of the help, both mental and moral, which our teachers have given us, in view of the friendship and love which their kindly interest in us and in our affairs has engendered in our hearts, and in view of the noble unselfish sacrifices which have con- stantly been made in order that our undertakings might be successful, we feel that it would be alto- gether fitting and proper were we to endeavor, as best we may, to express the deep gratitude and ap- preciation which we feel for all they have done for us. We are sure that we are expressing the senti- ment of the entire school and we sincerely trust that these words may be construed as a testimonial of our deepest regard by those for whom they are intended.

Description An account of the resource [page 21] [corresponds to page 19 of DHS Bulletin '15] DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN 19 SUCH IS LIFE FIRST PRIZE STORY By Robert Eichhorn IT was the week before the Senior Play. Through the rooms of the Seniors at X High School there was an air of subtle excitement and intense feeling, not a little mixed with an air of condescension toward the lower classes, for were not they, the Seniors, going to present a real play, the like of which had never been seen before? But more than excitement pervaded the atmos- phere. To the lazy ones, there was a sense of work, of something to be done, that was very displeasing. The instructor herself was a model of industry and labor. She was in complete charge of her affairs; cos- tumes and scenery, lines and dramatic action, all were under her care. The school day at X began with a half hour study period for all classes, but just now classes were fartheset from the minds of the Seniors, and this time was usually spent in talking over the play, the lines, and other interesting things. On this particular morning a group of boys had gathered together in one corner of the room. The boys comprising this group were of varied sizes and ages. Probably the most prominent figure was that of George Noble, commonly known as Nob- bie. He had dark brown hair, brown eyes, and was rather tall and slender. One generally did not care for "Nobbie" until one got to know him well. His one fault was that he loved to talk. He would talk on all possible occasions, but the one nice thing about him was that he always knew what he was talking about. He was by far the best educated fel- low in the High School, and better read indeed than most of the teachers. His one real, close friend and to whom he confided everything was Tom Markheim, a young fellow who was short and fair. Tom was a rather prominent fellow in his class, and also car- ried the lead in the Senior Play. Then there were Lawrence and James Sulter, brothers, who were both tall, although Larry was fair, and Jim had very dark pompadour hair. Other fellows were grouped about these, and added a few words now and then to the general conversation. "Got your lines learned yet?" asked Larry of young Markheim, who seemed to be studying a copy of the play. "Golly, Ned! No!" answered Tom. "How many did you have?" "About seven hundred." "Phew! Will you ever get through?" "Don't know. Hope so." "We'll learn them for you, Tom. Give us a chance," called young "Bill" Edwards from the crowd. "Aw, go succotash! I want to study these," was Tom's retort, and then the center of attention shifted, leaving "Nobbie" and Tom in comparative privacy. "Had a date last night," said Nobbie in a low voice. "Did? Have a good time?" Not waiting for an an- swer and seeming to think of his own task of more mo- ment, he added, "Gee, I'm getting tired of this con- tinual line-learning business and these rehearsals. Seems as if I will never get through," and he shut the book with a snap. "Sure, had a fine time," replied "Nobbie" to the first part of Tom's remark. "She's some more girl. I wouldn't lose her for anything. Traded class pins with her, too." "You did! Why, I had no idea it was as bad as that. But shucks! I traded mine three months ago. Might as well. I suppose they would get them some- time anyway." "Say, Tom, I want to talk to you about something. Have you your date for the banquet we are going to have after the play yet? Well, I am in a dickens of a fix. I suppose you know what most of the fel- lows think of me. They think I am dippy, after that fool stunt I pulled in class yesterday." "Why, I never heard anybody say that," said Tom seriously. "You must just be feeling pessimistic to- day." "No, I am not. I know what I am talking about. You see what a hole it puts Grace in. She does not want to go with a fellow about whom everyone is talking. I've tried to analyze the whole trouble, but I can't see where I can remedy the affair. I can't cut her now, because--O, well heck!" "Of course everyone knows that you have a case on Grace George, Nobs, and from appearances it's mutual, too. It would hurt her as much as it would hurt you, I think. Nobs, you are foolish to let a lit- tle talk like that bother you. Of course, there are back-biters of all kinds and you know they will talk, no matter what you do. Let 'em talk. They will never hurt anybody but themselves.

He nodded, with a distinct change of manner. Then he looked closely at Tom and said, "But how are you and your friend coming along? I haven't seen you with her for a logn time." Tom smiled. "Gee, the only time I see her is when I take her home from rehearsals. But there goes the bell. Give her this note next period, will you?" and he drew a note from his pocket. "Sure," said George, then they separated to go to class. They saw no more of each other then, until the study period two hours later. "Nobbie" sat just in front of Tom in the study room. Tom punched "Nobs" in the back. "Did you give Eleanor that note?" he whispered. "I surely did. But, Tom, what shall I do? Shall I get a date with Grace, or not." "Aw, sure, go ahead." "Well, here goes." With that, George hastily tore a page from his note-book, scribbling something on it, and then, after hurriedly folding it, tossed it up the aisle to the side of the seat in which Grace sat. Grace heard the thing drop, turned, saw it and picked it up, read it and then turned slowly and smiling and wink- ed her left eye. "I've got it," whispered George, and it sounded al- most as a sigh of relief to Tom. Then they went to studying. At 3:15 school was out and all of the Seniors hur- ried down to the Opera House, for the time was get- ting short and all of it was needed for rehearsal. "Is everyone here?" cried out Miss Pallar, the in- structor. "If so, we will begin at once. Start right at the beginning. We will go through the whole play this evening. The time is getting short. And that reminds me. The dress rehearsal will be on next Wednesday evening. I want to see all of you here at six-thirty. You know the play will take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. Come on now, Act I Sc. I. Everybody quiet. James Sulter, where is that flask I told you to get?" "Search me," replied Jim. "Go and get it at once. We must have all of our property at hand." * * *"Now, are we ready?" She left the stage, walked down the center aisle and took a seat. A few rows behind her sat Grace and George. Neither were due on the stage at that time. For awhile neither spoke. Then: "The play surely is fine, isn't it?" said George. "Some people might say this is a play too hard for High School students but they seem to be getting away with it." "Doesn't Eleanor look pretty?" asked Grace. "She has such beautiful dimples and such hair. I never could make mine look as nice as hers if I tried a thousand times." "Oh yes, she's pretty," spoke George and then he added loyally, "But she's not half so pretty as you are and besides, I think you've got the prettiest hair in High School." More silence, then George began again. "How long ago has it been since I met you, Grace?" "Oh, it was two years ago. Don't you think that is an awfully pretty dress of Laura Woodburn's?" And thus the two sat as if spell bound, each busy with his own thoughts. The play which they had thought to watch was farthest from their minds. And almost unconsciously, in the semi-darkness of the back part of the Opera House they moved closer to each other. "That's fine." The voice of Miss Pallar sounded shrilly in on their reverie. "Now go right on with act two." "Come on Bill, you're in this act," sang out Tom to William Edwards. "Watch your cue." Then the act started. Presently William, watch- ing his cue, entered. He said his lines and walked over to a bit of scenery on which Laura Woodburn sat. Not being able to withstand the temptation he sat down and started to talk to Laura. In the meantime Tom completed a very dramatic speech. When he got through an awkward pause ensued. "Aw, come on, Bill, say your lines," Tom called to Bill. Bill hurriedly jumped up, looked around and said his lines. Then he went back and sat with Laura again. Again his turn came and he was busy. "William," called out Miss Pallar, "if you can't re- main in the scene you may get out of it. I'm sure there is some other time when you can talk to Lau- ra." The sting of the words fell short of its desired effect. Wounded personal dignity, hot angry rebel- lion glowed in the hearts of the sufferers. But how could the unimaginative woman, thinking of these young hearts as puppets, to be moved here and there into effective scenes realize the strength of the call of romance. "Gracious, I'd hate to be bawled out that way. But he's foolish, don't you think. He doesn't care who knows what he thinks of Laura Woodburn. I shouldn't think he would show off so much. Has he no control over himself?" Thus spoke the naive George. The play was a great success. Everybody said so and judging from the three packed houses it receiv- ed, everybody meant it. The papers were very flat- tering in their commendations. The Seniors had all taken their parts well and carried out as difficult a play as had ever been attempted by any class. But the person who probably enjoyed it most was George Noble. In the language of the rest of the class, George had a case and he had a bad one. And not the least of it was that he didn't care who knew it. He took Grace up to his home to play games, he Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin 1915 (p. 22) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d141e38d850cfa85a69d1c8afc7d7f62.jpg 46a87c5a626134053afef57a9dddeeb9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The reason why George enjoyed the play was the fact that he had a part and she had a part which permitted him to "play up" to her in a very agree- able manner. Altogether, it was very amusing to the rest of the Seniors, to see that Nobs took it so seriously. He would talk about her to any one who gave half a chance, and his friend Tom was fairly running over with the praises of the "little lady." But, of course, these did not affect Tom, because he was also occupied. A banquet, Saturday night after the final perform- ance, ended teh whole work of three months. The Seniors had looked forward to the play for many weeks, had worked for it and had sacrificed for it, but now it was over. During the entire feast, Nobs was very preoccu- pied. In fact, he talked so little (commonly he was the biggest talker in the group) that Grace had to threaten that she wouldn't let him take her home if he didn't wake up. He awoke partly. He awoke fully only when the party broke up and they started for home. Grace lived nearly one-half mile from the restaurant, for which George was tru- ly thankful. George had formed a conspiracy with his thoughts. In fact George had reached a point in his affair with Grace where he no longer had or cared that he had not the mastery over himself. Truthfully he did not even think, he only felt. "Have you enjoyed yourself?" he asked Grace. "Yes, tremendously," she replied. "Aren't you sorry it is all over now? Just think, here we have been working for three months and now to have it all done. I don't believe I ever enjoyed myself so much in my whole life." "Neither did I," she said. "Here we've been look- ing forward all this time and I thought I was going to be terribly scared, but I wasn't really, were you?" "Not a bit." His answer sounded strange. Surely this was not the talkative George who had begun the conversa- tion only a moment ago so brilliantly. Something must be wrong. Grace tried a new line. "I'll bet Tom was scared. He usually is for that kind of stuff." "Oh, I don't think he was so very much." The shortness of his answer somewhat checked Grace. She had known George long enough to real- ize that no attempt of any kind would restore him to volubility when he was in a mood. And she also knew that he never got into a mood except when he was deeply moved. Then it suddenly dawned upon her. Now she knew why he had been so tender and so serious in his actions with her in the play, and also, incidentally, the cause of his peculiar silence. She wondered why she had not felt it before, why she had not analyzed her feeling more clearly, which she had experienced in the last few weeks. Her in- tuition had told her that George was contemplating something out of the ordinary, and now her common sense told her what she might expect. And yet-- "Say, but you looked pretty up there this evening, Gracie." It was George who spoke. "Did I?" And then it dawned upon George that Grace might be thinking also. He longed to know, and to have her tell him just what she thought of him. She sure- ly must know what he thought of her. If he hadn't told her she could tell it from his manner toward her, hear it in the beating of his heart. He knew what he thought of her; if she would only tell him! He press- ed closer to her. In his meditations, he had not no- ticed how far they had gone and it nearly drove him mad to find that they were within a block of Grace's home. His feelings came near to exploding, then and there. "Grace, you're the prettiest girl I know." He fair- ly burst this out. This time it was Grace who kept silent. Then George remembered that "silence gives con- sent" and gathered courage. Slowly but surely his arm was raised until it was about her waist. He hardly dared breathe. Grace glanced over her shoul- der but said nothing. So George left it there. They had reached the sidewalk in front of her house. Then when they turned to face each other and to say good-night, he let his arm drop. They talked on various and desultory topics but between each of these they remained silent. Finally Grace said she must go in, and held out her hand to say good-night. Her hand touched his. It was like the touch of magic. In a moment all of his reserve had broken down; all his reason fled. His blood ran riot. He leaned over and kissed Grace on the cheek, and then turned and fairly ran down the street. He cared not where he went, only he must go. Nothing he had ever felt gave him the joy and happiness which he now experienced. His biggest dream had come true, true, true. How he ever got home he never knew. All his thoughts were centered on one person, Grace. As for Grace, she also turned and fled swiftly to the house. What would mamma say! But then, why should she tell? No, she wouldn't. And what was that half dreamy, very happy feeling which she had? She crept softly up-stairs. Yet, might not the beat- ing of her heart awaken her mother? Her first kiss! * * * * * Alas for the fickleness of time!

Description An account of the resource [page 24] [corresponds to page 22 of DHS Bulletin '15] 22 DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN A MATHEMATICAL ROMANCE SECOND PRIZE STORY By Florence Follwell X and Y are the names of my hero and heroine from the Land of Algebra. They both lived in the same small expres- sion, surrounded by high radical mountains and rivers of equal signs. X was a sturdy young boy whose parents were dead and who lived with his younger brother and sister, Factor and Check, in a small hut whose dimen- sions were only two by four, twice squared. But the small girl named Y lived with her parents, XY, and elder brother, Z, in a large mansion whose size was eleven by nine, cubed, and this mansion had a chim- ney which, strange to say, was named by the younger members of the family, XY, exponent 2n. Now these two young people, X and Y, grew up as children generally do and met in a very curious way. X3 had been drinking a little too much and as he was going back home he met the young girl, Y, and struck her over the shoulders which deed a certain old maid, Miss Surd, saw from a distance and thought that poor Y would fall to several fractional pieces; and indeed Y did feel so for her head and shoulders seem- ed to her in a hundred pieces and the pains running down her spinal column she thought were surely going to divide her in two. Now a short distance away young X was riding along in a vehicle invented by himself and called by him "The Determinate." The sight of seeing any girl maligned made him so very angry that he stopped his machine and, jump- ing out, ran and gave such a thrashing to Mr. X3 that to a rationalized factor passing by it seemed as if X would take the cube of Mr. X3 which would have probably been a painful operation for him. After this strange encounter, X and Y became very good friends till at last this friendship grew into something which meant a great deal more to them. Finally one day the announcement of the engagement of Y, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. XY, to X was sent out to some of their most intimate friends, Mr. and Mrs. VXY, the Misses Radical, Rules, Simplify, Index, and Radicand, Mr. and Mrs. Z, and a few others. The home was beautifully decorated with real, ra- tional, and irrational numbers and conjugate radi- cals. The bride's cake was a wonderful mixture of monomial factors and fractional exponents, zero, negative exponents, and similar terms. Her gown was made entirely of trinomials, which were per- fect squares. X and Y were married by the Rev. Mr. Addition of Factors and these three were soon join- ed by the ring-bearer, the pretty Miss Typical Solu- tion, which beautifully completed the square. After the ceremony, the ring bearer held the bride's bou- quet of detached coefficients and simple integers. The bride and groom attempted to slip out quietly from behind three elemental columns but were not able to escape the shower of odd roots of positive numbers, variables, and equivalent equations thrown by the wedding guests. The two, after some time, reached the only railroad station in the place which boasted of an indeterminate system with two un- knowns as ticket agents. The couple went as far as Factoring when they had to change cars; and, while waiting, X, thoughtful as many bridegrooms at first are, bought Y a polynomial sandwitch with a com- mon monomial factor as a little extra treat. After waiting some time for their train to come X finally went to find out when it was due and brought back the disheartening news to Y that their train was due in a few minutes but that before they could reach it they would be compelled to pass through the Parenthesis, a most peculiar structure. But, after answering satisfactorily the several questions asked them by a man who possessed the name of Mr. Square Root, the keeper of their gate, much to their surprise and pleasure, alllowed them to pass through. They caught their train and reached the Brackets, a small junction on the banks of a river by the same name where they had to get off the cars, and, most unwillingly, had to walk several linear miles up the river to go around an arm of the river caused by floods; for at that time the river was extremely high and had carried away the bridges. This was all very tiresome to the ambitious young couple who wanted to get entirely away from the vicinity of their expression in which they had lived for so many positive years. But, after crossing the swamps of equivalent systems, and the bridge of special devices constructed according to the Law of Involution by an Order of Fundamental Operations, and going along the road of joint variation, they at last, after many thrilling experiences, arrived in the Land of Higher Mathematics where in the house which they and their children after them called "The Mansion of Algebra" they lived happily ever after.

Its blazing summons rang From every headline, every page, Each one its note of triumph sang, And little bloodshed or outrage. The martial call was sounded out, The cry, "To Arms," was bravely given, It seemed there wasn't any doubt To die for native land was heaven. Stirred by such thought, I sat and mused:-- "How inspiring, how nobly grand, With how great fervor interfused It was to serve one's Fatherland." I laid the evening paper down And from my eyes shut out the light; And almost wishing, with a monarch's crown, Participation in the fight. When once again my eyes I raised, A stranger stood within the room, With flashing eyes that ever blazed And menaced as of coming doom. I sprang with trembling to my feet, I scarce knew why I was so stirred; His deep voice rang, "Resume your seat, And listen." But I hardly heard. "Your name?" I asked, "And from what land Do you come here, and seek out me?" "I, Gabriel, am, from God's right hand, Sent to proclaim man's destiny." "Destiny. What is that to me?" I asked again before I thought. "And did you come but me to see? Am I alone what you have sought?" "Where'er men dream of war," he said, "In splendor, power, strength, or fame, I come," and here he bowed his head, "I come, in the Redeemer's name. "I come to speak of men on earth And dieties in heaven above, Of men who desolate the hearth Before a God whose name is Love. "War! Oh it has well been named, 'A hell upon this earth below,' For all its glory that is claimed It but, indeed, a passing show. "Murder, where is your glory there? In terror, horror, or remorse? The million men you cannot spare Make it a million-fold the worse. "Ah, in your blindness, this you call The glroy of a soldier's life; But God who judges over all Will not forever spare this strife "Of Holy Writ, this is a part, 'Above all others, honor Me,' And first in every human heart The Lord of Hosts must ever be. "And when blind man, in folly brings Unto the War-God self and kin, Before the Almighty, King of Kings, Such sacrifice is ever sin. "I say to you, this old world wide, Under God's heaven, and his stars, Forgets Jehovah, and in pride Is following after bloody Mars. "Return while it is called today, Let wars no more your guilt increase; Seek God's own chosen ordered way In love and universal peace. "Then will come Truth, and Hope and Life, And Love which He himself began, And intercourse devoid of strife, The world-wide brotherhood of man." He vanished. Long in thought I sat, And pondered much on what he said, Wondering if indeed 'twas that Which makes Him ever bow His head. But dark as this cloud seemed to me, Its silver lining soon shone forth, God is still God in Majesty, Nor is truth vanished from the earth. His power, itself will manifest; His Love and Truth will then be known, And Earth shall then bring forth her best With Christ in Peace upon the throne. AURA SMITH, JR., '15.

Second Prize Poem The sun shines bright with gladness at the morning; The red bird whistles to his mate; The blue jay chirps a sprightly warning To the chattering squirrel, as if to rate His bold audacity in throwing nuts. The olive grass blades lift their heads And drink the health in deep, pure draughts, Of future velvet violet beds. While dandelions lift their fringed heads In slender grace to deck the dreary fields And vie with laughing buttercups Whose golden hearts bright sunshine seems to yield. And little brownie chipmunks filled with mirth, For favor in the sight of Pan, Do scamper lightly o'er the woodland paths to meet The merry god, and greenwood Titan. MILDRED WELCH, '17. LIFE. Day by day is it a strife? Difficulties coming along in life, Worry, struggle, and toil, As numerous as the seed in soil? What is life that it should be Lonely and murmuring as A solitary, living tree, Left on a desert far from the sea? Listening to the golden harp strings of beauty, Man is ready to do his duty, Day by day it is not a strife; Difficulties are only the pleasures of life. NETTIE WILSON, '17. SPRING-TIDE. When the gentle rain is falling On every flower and leaf and blade; Bringing back the crystal freshness Of its last bright summer's shade; When the sun breaks through the rain clouds, Where its dancing beams were bound; Then the world's in all its beauty, With its fragrance and its sound. When the buds of flowers are opening And the leaves unfolding green, Every sprig of foliage bursts forth In a perfect woodland scene; When dark clouds become the brighter, Full of mild and balmy air, Then the world's in all its beauty, Clothed in Nature's garments rare. --D. E. S. ON THE FARM. O'er the hill the farm-boy goes, Close to where the streamlet flows, Farther, farther, o'er the hill, Faintly calling, calling still-- "Come boss! come boss! come! come!" To his home the robin goes, To the woods do fly the crows, Still come the echoes far away, While he hunts the cows astray-- "Come boss! come boss! come! come!" Now the cows are crowding through the gate, Softly lowing, small and great; While the milk-maid takes her pail, Still resounds this plaintive wail-- "Come boss! come boss! come! come!" All within is deep in sleep, Angel guards their vigils keep, Without the crickets' ceaseless song Makes music all night long; While still into his sleep he goes, Calling softly, calling softly-- "Come boss! come boss! come! come!" HELEN EVANS, '17. TO THE ROBIN. Listen to the robin sing, His throat near bursts with joy! The harbinger of coming spring, His message to the waiting world, Proclaims with fresh delight And freedom sings. His cheery note Is heard throughout the land from morn till night; It cheers the plodding laborer Returning from his work at night; He lifts his head from off his breast, To seek the red-breast out of sight Up in the branches hid; his song, Like drops of honey from the eening sky Falls, and floats on sacred wings To bless the passer-by.

First Prize Story Once upon a time, many years ago, there lived on the shores of Lake Michigan, a young maiden, the daughter of a light-house keeper. She had pink cheeks, a clear complexion, and her sunny smile was loved by all; but the thing which no one ever forgot, was her beautiful deep blue eyes which seemed to contain a world of wonder in them. Virginia had many admirers, but the one she liked best was Paul. One day while looking for pink, wild orchids in a swampy hemlock forest, lying a mile inland, she lost her way and was found by Paul who was exploring that part of the country. As soon as he saw her he was delighted by her beauty and charm and shortly afterward the two were betrothed. But the old light- house keeper so doted on his daughter, who was his only child, that he wanted to keep her all to himself. The young folks, however, had a plan of their own and they knew they would never be happy apart. So Paul planned to bring the priest from Mackinac Is- land to marry them, in spite of the objection of Vir- ginia's father. One day an Indian came to Virginia with a mes- sage from Paul that he and the priest would arrive by boat the next day, and begged that she be on the lookout for them. That night a dense fog settled down upon land and water, and all through the long hours till morning the fog bell rang its warning to passing ships, for there were many dangerous reefs in these waters. And as Virginia tolled the two-min- ute bell she struck it longer and louder than usual, fearful lest Paul's boat coming into the harbor in early morning might lose its way and be wrecked. But it was of no avail, for when the fog lifted, lying upon a reef some distance out, could be seen the out- line of her lover's boat. Virginia never survived the shock, for when her lover's body was washed ashore she fell beside it on the sands and died. The heart- broken father buried her at the edge of the forest, and from her grave there sprang exquisite blue- bells, the color of her eyes, recalling always to her friends the patient tolling of the light-house bell, through the long, anxious night. And now, wherev- er you go in Northern Michigan the blue-bells fill the meadows, and are the queen of the wild flowers of the region. -MARY DUVALL, '18. WHY THE BLUE-BELL HAS SUCH TINY FLOWERS Second Prize Story Once upon a time a violet and a blue-bell grew side by side in a great forest. The blue-bell was very much larger and more beautiful than she is now and very proud and haughty. She scarcely no- ticed the sweet, modest violet that grew in the sha- dow of her leaves, for that violet was even shyer than most of her sisters and loved nothing better than to watch the gay, fashionable blue-bell nod and smile and beckon to her many lovers. But one day the violet noticed that the blue-bell was taking unusual pains with her toilet and heard her proudly whisper to another blue-bell that a cer- tain prince of flowers who was noted for his beauty, kindness, and wisdom, was coming to call on her that very afternoon. The violet was pleased that the blue-bell was to be so honored, even if the blue- bell had paid no attention to her except to make fun of her shy, retiring habits. So, dreaming of the mar- riage of the blue-bell and the great prince she fell asleep. When she awakened she heard a great deal of laughing and talking by her side and ventured to take a peep at the prince. But to her great dismay, she saw the prince looking at her kindly. She shy- ly turned her head, but the prince sat down by her side and talked to her a long time, and completely ignored the blue-bell. When he left, the blue-bell was so angry because he had ignored her that she cried all night long and so did not look as beautiful as she really was when the prince came the next day. So he, suspecting already something of her haughty and disagreeable character, wooed and won the vio- let and they were happy ever after. But the blue-bell hated the violet so much that the hate in her heart shriveled up her big, beautiful blue-bells into tiny, little flowers, and to this day the blue-bells are tiny, though still beautiful. ANNA HALLIDAY, '18. THE ORIGIN OF THE BUTTERCUP. Once, many years ago there lived a little white flower. It lived by a pond around which grew many other flowers that had all the colors of the rain- bow. This flower was very sad because it didn't have any pretty colors and grew cross and disagree- able and hung its head. One day it looked down and saw a little flower that it had never noticed before and this little flower said, "My, what a beautiful white dress you have on. I wish I had one like that. I get so tired of my red one." After the little white flower heard this it thought, "Maybe my dress isn't so bad after all. Anyway, I won't mope any more and maybe if I'm ever so good I'll have a new dress some time." So it held up its head once more to the sun and grew merry again. After awhile the flow- er goddess passed by and she thought, "What a brave Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin 1915 (p. 27) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6c0e29ef5391519ec1046a1d822dd3df.jpg 8cea3c98583428a915a88844cf5089e0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I'll give it some reward for be- ing so brave. And this one morning the flower leaned over to see itself in the pond and lo! it had a beau- tiful yellow dress but most beautiful of all was its deep golden heart. And ever after it has been call- ed the "buttercup." BLANCHE HERN, '18 THE RAINBOW. About 800 B.C., there was a certain kind of flower which grew profusely in Greece. The flowers were of all different colors; some were red, some yellow, blue, and many other colors. These flowers were really very pretty and to see mile upon mile of these was a very beautiful sight. But they spread so quick- ly that soon the whole land was covered with them, and the people had no place in which to grow food. They thought and thought but none of them could think of any way in which to get rid of the flower. Finally, when the people were on the verge of fam- ine, a very wise man named Tytulas thought of a plan to rid the land of this pest. He went to see Aeolus, the god of winds. Aeolus agreed to send a terrific wind storm over the land. The next day Aeolus opened the doors of his cave in which he kept the winds, and sent a mighty west- wind, and along with it, rain. These flowers had a very frail root, and so were very easily pulled up. The storm lasted for an hour. When the storm was over and it had ceased raining, not a flower was seen on the ground. The wind had taken them all up by the roots and blown them up into the eastern sky and formed a huge arch of them; and that is the same rainbow which we see today after many storms. CHARLES J. ROSEBROOK, '18. WHY THE LILY'S HEAD IS DROOPING. Long ago there lived a nymph who was very beau- tiful. She was slender and graceul, with golden hair and a voice like that of a siren. But unfortun- ately, she was very proud, and even disdainful of the gods. She dwelt in a wood near a lake, and did not come out where men could see her. In the even- ing she would sit by the lake and gaze as if fascin- ated with the reflection of her image by the moon on the water. She would sit thus and croon wonder- fully sweet songs till the moon sank behind the trees. She grew more proud and thought that none could be so fair as she. The gods thought that something should be done to destroy her self-love, and make her realize that other things were also beautiful. They held a consultation and decided to take her wonderful gift of song from her. This was done and for awhile she seemed to think less of herself since one of her great beauties was gone. But soon she only seemed to think the more of the one charm left her, a fair face. She would sit again by the lake, in the moonlight and in the day-time by some clear spring or fountain, and look at her image. The gods again held a consultation and decided to make beautiful flowers grow on her isle in contrast to her. She took these and twined them in her hair, which only increased her loveliness. The gods then looked for another fair creature to send to live on her isle, that she might know that others were fair of face and form. But when they tried to find some one, they found that there were really no earthly ones more fair than she. This time they decided to change her into a flow- er, so that she no longer could be so vain of her beauty. She was changed into a tall white lily. She is still beautiful, but her pride is humbled. Her golden hair may be seen as the lily pollen, and she is still tall and graceful. But her head is drooping and she is seldom found near the water, so that she cannot even see what was once almost the fairest face of the earth's children. HELEN EAVEY, '18. Second Year Stories WAMBA JOINS ROBIN HOOD'S BAND. First Prize Story "Anne Marie, love, up is the sun, Anne Marie, love, morn is begun. Mists are dispersing--" "How now, why dost thou sing so gay a song so mournfully?" "Mournfully? But why be gay when all the gayety has been taken out of your life," answered Wamba. "Why, what has happened?" asked Robin Hood. "My master, Cedric, is dead, Rowena is married, and I have been given my freedom. But freedom!-- what is freedom when there is no place to go? I came back to this forest to roam again in those plac- es where I once helped to save my master." "Thou speakest well," said Robin Hood. "If the forest is so dear to you, roam here unmolested by my band." "Thou treatest the fool well, long will I remember thy kindness." Many days Wamba wandered through the forest, finding delight and consolation in the old and famili- ar scenes.

Unlike his former self, which was always ready for merriment, he would sit brooding under a tree near- by and idly watch them instead of joining in their merriment. One night, while sleeping under the trees, Wamba had a dream in which Cedric seemed to stand before him and say: "Wamba, once thou wert the merriest fool in all the land, and now thou art sad, but why? I am happy! Go, be merry!" Then Wamba awoke, very light of heart and spirit. The sun was just peeping above the tree-tops in the east, and Wamba went gaily on his way singing, "Anne Marie, love, up is the sun." He had gone but a short distance when he came upon Robin Hood asleep on the ground with a pouch of money at his side. He was about to pass quietly on when he heard stealthy footsteps. He concealed himself in the bushes and waited. An evil-looking man stole up and was about to snatch Robin Hood's pouch when Wamba interfered. They had a hand-to- hand scuffle, Wamba at last overcoming the man and throwing him to the ground. In the meantime, Robin Hood had awakened and, seeing the bravery of the fool, said, "Thy deeds, Wamba, are worthy of reward. Kneel, and I here- with present thee with the order of Robin Hood's band. But, look you, now, you must be merry, for all who join Robin Hood's band must be light-heart- ed and gay. Come, let's away and have a feast and dance upon the green." "Oh! gladly will I join your band and gaily, too, for my master is happy and I have a mission to fulfill." SARA PUMPHREY, '17 HOW A JEWESS SAVED THE LIFE OF WILL SCARLET. Second Prize Story Such outlaws as Robin Hood always travel under assumed names and in disguise. Robin Hood went abroad under the name of Locksley, Cleave-the- Wand, and Diccon, Bend-the-Bow. One time, a raid by a company of the King's Spears was made on their meeting place, and the outlaws all took to the woods except Will Scarlet, one of Robin Hood's favorite men, who was captured by the knights and given over to the Sheriff of Nottingham for trial. He, of course, was accused of deer-stealing and was sen- tenced to be hung in a fortnight. This news was brought to Robin Hood by one of his men, who had been at the trial disguised as a poor peasant. Little John was ordered by Robin Hood to take the men and remain outside the town in hiding until the time of the hanging and then rush out and save the condemned. He himself woud go to the town of Nottingham under the name of Diccon Bend-the-Bow, and try to get words of encouragement to Scarlet. Accordingly, both parties started, and the "Merry Men" concealed themselves in the wood north of the town, and Robin Hood arrived at the gate. While walking along the street of the town, he was recog- nized by a former captive, who immediately gave the alarm to several masters-at-arms, lounging in front of the inn, who immediately gave chase. The chase was long and the day was hot, the soldiers were in complete armor, while the outlaw had light cloth- ing. The gatemen had been ordered to close the gates and Robin Hood could not get out of the town. While running along the side of a wall, he suddenly drew himself up and lay flat on top of the wall, while the soldiers thundered past his hiding-place. The wall was old and crumbly and gave way under his weight. The wall surrounded a sunken garden and was about ten feet higher on the indie than on the outside. Robin Hood had been knocked unconscious by the fall on the sharp rocks below and it was many hours before he regained consciousness. When he awoke he found himself in an elegant room of oriental char- acter. The windows were high and cushion took the place of chairs. "How dost thou feel this fine spring morning, Dic- con?" asked a young woman, dressed in the costume of a Jewish maiden. It was Rebecca, the beautiful daughter of Isaac of York. "As one who is having a dream," he answered. "How came I here--where am I--has there been a hanging--how long have I been here--do you know who I am? Alas! If you did I should not be here." "Fear not, brave man, I well know who you are and you only need to be reminded of the captivity of Isaac of York in your wood, to know who I am. But at present, you must be still and, after you have rested and are feeling better, I will answer your questions." Several days passed and Robin Hood, under the Jewess, Rebecca's, care, slowly but surely began to recover. Rebecca then answered his questions. She told him of his accident, and how she had found him, that he was in the house of Isaac of York in Not- tingham, that he had been there about ten days, and that one of his merry men was to be hung in a few days. The outlaw was allowed to sit up the day of the hanging and watch from the window. Shortly after noon, Will Scarlett was led upon the temporary scaf- fold, erected in the center of the square, less than a bow-shot from the Jew's house. Calling to a servant, Robin Hood said, "Bring me my bugle, my bow, and an arrow, and tell thy kind mistress to come to this window." When these things had been brought to him, he asked Rebecca to open the window. As she did this, he saw Isaac coming out of a hidden door in the high wall with a large bag of gold in each hand. The Jew's hiding- place was thus revealed to the most notorious outlaw in England.

Will Scarlett, with hands upraised, waited, and suddenly the whistle of an arrow was heard, and his hands fell apart, the bonds having been cut by the speeding shaft. Then a multitude of arrows fell around the seat-of-honor, which had been erected for the sheriff, while that tyrant, with a few startling words, informed the crowd of people assembled around the scaffold that the arrows were Robin Hood's. That was enough! The crowd dispersed, running in all directions. Will Scarlett, Robin Hood's lieutenant, was saved by a Jewess. For it was Robin Hood who shot the arrow and severed the bonds of Scarlett, and he would not have been able to have done that, had it not been for the care and nursing he had received fromt he Jewess, Rebecca. Out of gratitude for her care, Robin Hood always guarded the secret of the hiding-place of her father's treasure. ROBERT RIDDLE, '17. HOW ROBIN HOOD'S BAND RECEIVED A NEW MEMBER. When Allan-a-Dale, Little John, and the Miller were hurrying to the trysting tree, they were plan- ning to get money to celebrate Allan-a-Dale's mar- riage to a girl called Marian. "We need money to celebrate Allan-a-Dale's last days of freedom," said Little John, "he will never have his own way after his marriage. Has someone a plan?" "These priors and churchmen are always rich. Is there one within a day's walk?" asked the Miller. "There is a Clerk near here who steals more deer than five of such men as we are, and who, when hear- ing the confession of a rich sinner, takes care to find out how much he is worth. Let us ask the Clerk," said Allan-a-Dale. "What, the Clerk of Coxmornhurst? He is a seem- ingly holy man one day and the rest of the time a scoundrel who spends in singing, jousting and deer- stealing the time in which a Clerk should be pray- ing. But let us ask him. It is said that when drink- ing he will tell us all he knows." When they came in sight of the hut, the Clerk be- gan shouting his prayers and holy songs. "What do you want of a poor and holy Clerk of St. Dunstan's? Shall I pray for you, men?" asked the Clerk of Copmanhurst. The Clerk was dressed in his plainest black Friar's gown, with a cap and tassels. On his feet were san- dals, bound on by leather strings. He had drawn down his face to look pious, but merely looked ridic- ulous and foolish. His dress was a great contrast to those of the outlaws, who were dressed in green and carried bows and arrows. "Let me join your merry band," said the Clerk, "and I will help you in many ways. I can tell you of all the rich men near here, and can help you to get money from them. I cannot be always the priest and never the hunter, so let me join you, and I will sesrve you in return for your protection of me. There is even now a keeper of this forest who is searching for me, as if a holy Friar would steal deer!" "That is a good offer. Come with us to Robin Hood and say this to him. Hurry, let us start now, for we are late," said Little John. When they came to the trysting tree where Robin Hood, Will Scarlet, and some others were as- sembled, Allan-a-Dale told what the Clerk had said. "You may join us, but you must keep our laws.," said Robin Hood. "We have laws of our own and none dare disobey them. Do you promise to obey?" "I promise anything you ask of me." "Very well, in five days we shall have a meeting of all the band, and you shall become a member. But you must prove yourself worthy before." "Then come! The rich Jew of York will pass the swamp south of here on his way home from the markets, as he told me yesterday. He is sure to have the money you need, about which Allan-a-Dale was telling me. Some one shall give me a hunter's suit and I shall be off with the first of you," said the Friar, as they prepared to leave the spot. KATHERINE DALTON, '17. IN WHICH A NEW MEMBER IS ADDED TO THE GOODLY BAND OF BOLD ROBIN HOOD. Under the wide-spreading branches of an aged oak tree, lounged a merry group of outlaws. They were laughing and jesting and partaking with great zeal of a sumptuous repast consisting mostly of ven- ison and wild duck, topped with ale. The leader of this carefree band, perhaps best known as bold Robin Hood, acted as master of cere- monies and occupied the seat of honor at the foot of the tree. Turning to the company at large, he ask- ed between huge mouthfuls of roast duck, "Why tar- ries our good Friar Tuck?" "He's saying his rosary is in the seclusion of his hut, I doubt not," declared Little John. At this there was a boisterous laugh and several other suggestions were offered. "I'm willing to swear by my good bow," cried Rob- in Hood, "that his liking for venison has overcome his discretion and he is again enjoying the company of the game warden." "Right thou art," cried the jovial Friar himself, ap- pearing suddenly among them and dragging the un- happy game warden after him," but whether he is enjoying my company as much is another question worthy of consideration. This rascal," he continued, "has been more zealous in the discharging of his duty than I deem necessary for my comfort and peace of mind.

So saying the good Friar bowed pro- foundly and seated himself upon the grass. Robin Hood rose to his feet, and, after carefully scrutinizing the prisoner, made answer, "This brave fellow is not unknown to me and I heartily approve our good clerk's excellent judgment." So, grasping the warden's hand, he bade him take the oath of al- legiance, which the fellow willingly did. After this a few drops of ale were poured upon his head by the jolly leader, who shouted, "In the name of St. George, Merry England and the band of Robin Hood, I proclaim thee a member of our goodly company." Then the feast began in earnest. Toasts were drunk and songs sung, and hilarious laughter echoed through the glens till nearly sun-rise. CHARLOTTE MALSBARY, '17. HOW WILL SCARLET WON A WIFE. It was a bright day and in the sunlit forest stood a man dressed in a green hunting-suit. He stood idle a moment, then, placing a bugle to his lips, blew three shrill blasts that echoed and re-echoed through the forest. In less time than it takes to tell it, he was surrounded by twenty men with bows and arrows ready for use. The men were dressed in garments like their lead- er. They seemed to be disappointed when they saw his cheery smile and care-free way, for they had ex- pected him to be ready for battle. "Put up your bows and arrows, my merry men," said the leader of the band quietly, "there is nothing going to happen just now," but, as he saw a disap- pointed expression cross their faces, he said, "But we shall have excitement if things go the way I have planned they should. You all know it is about time for Chesterfield, the London merchant, to be going back to London with his money. I have scouted around and I find that he will be going through our forest tonight. When he passes through Crossaguel thicket we will relieve him of his ill-gotten gold. I know a place where we can put it to good advan- tage. "Allan-a-Dale, you may take Little John and Friar Tuck and go directly to the thicket and let us know how things are going by the usual signals. The rest of us will go and see if we can find Will Scarlet and then we'll join you later." In obedience to Robin Hood's command, for such was the leader's name, the ones he had commanded left for the thicket. In a short time, he and the rest of his band were going in another direction. After walking a few miles Robin Hood suddenly held up his hand for silence. Looking ahead, they saw a young hunter dressed in garments like their own, sitting on a log, with a forlorn expression on his brown, handsome face. The cause for the forlorn look on Will Scarlet's face was this: Will had tak- en a strong liking to a beautiful Saxon maiden, who had returned unconcealed affection for him. Her wealthy father's only objection to the handsome young outlaw was his poverty. He told Will Scarlet if he would get 1000 pounds in one month he would give him his daughter's hand in marriage. "Cheer up, Red," said Robin Hood, going up and shaking Will Scarlet's shoulder. "If things turn out the way we have planned they should, you will have your lassie by the next sun-rise." He then explained his plan to Scarlet, after which they separated, each going a different way to meet at Crossaguel thicket. The next time we meet Robin Hood and his merry band is after they have relieved Chesterfield of all his money. Robin Hood bids all the members of his band to be seated. He then hands the largest por- tion of the money to Scarlet saying: "Here, man, take this money to your lassie's father. Tell him you have fulfilled his requirement and now you have come for your prize. The rest of the money I will save to celebrate your marriage when you come back to join our merry band." JESSIE LAZEAR, '17. WHY MORTALS SLEEP Long ago when the world was very young and Phoebus still held her course in the heavens, there lived a beautiful maiden, Parmes, with her compan- ion, Pandymien, an old women. Now Phoebus loved Parmes, but, owing to a decree which Jove had made, he could not marry her, so every evening when Phoebus finished his course, the two lovers would meet at the "sunset gate." The only thing that trouble Parmes was that she must not venture past the "fatal hill" to meet her lover. What could be beyond this shaggy cliff she could not imagine. Once Pandymien had said it was the "vale of sleep" but she did not know what sleep was, so she was no more enlightened than before. It must be very beautiful, for Parmes could see the gray and purple shadows flitting about, and smell the perfume of the flowers. One day Parmes ventured past the "fatal hill" but she had no sooner done this than the terrible eye of Phoebus was turned upon her. His angry, flaming face seemed to look right through her as he slowly drew a thunder bolt from his quiver and hurled it at her, closing her beautiful eyes forever. But when morning came, Phoebus was sorry and spoke to the maiden thus, "My Parmes, thou wert a foolish maiden, but I love thee still. Nevertheless after this when thy lover approaches the 'sunset gate' they foolish eyes shall close in slumber." And we, the descendents of the foolish, but beau- tiful Parmes, to this day close our eyes in sleep when Phoebus reaches the sunset gate. MILDRED WELCH, '17.

Long ago the world was all desert except for one wooded spot, where water was plentiful and the winds blew softly and happily. In this for- est dwelt a band of tiny sprites who inhabited the hearts of the trees. But in the little brooklet which trickled over the rocks, there lived a band of water- nympths who hated the wood sprites because they were so ugly and, as they thought, had the best place to stay. All went well until one night, when the gentle moon sent her trailing rays down upon the peaceful earth and all the sprites were as happy as could be, yielding to the rare and enchanting beauty of the night, they left their homes and played merrily in the moonlight. But at the end of their revels, when they thought all safe and were taking a last good- night dance around their beautiful queen, to the swaying and whispering of the night-wind among the trees, which is the only real fairy music, a low men- acing murmur was heard in the distance, approach- ing nearer and nearer. Thinking it the dreaded wat- er-nympths, the sprites scurried to their beds and were so frightened that they could only curl up and die. Soon, "Mother Nature," in pity, covered them with burial robes, thus forming the knots which are found today in the very choicest of woods. RUTH McBEE, '17. HOW THE RABBIT LOST HIS TAIL. Once upon a time two little rabbits disobeyed their parents. Little Bunny had as his visitor, Fleet- foot, a dear little neighbor, and, wanting to have a good time that day, Bunny decided to run away from his parents to enjoy a frolic in the woods. Bun- ny had been cautioned and commanded never to go near a cave or den in the woods except their own, but, being a little adventurous that day, they decid- ed to visit a little cave that they saw nearby on a pleasant hillside. When they had reached the top of the hill, in they went to explore the cave. They had not progressed far when they heard a sharp hiss, so around they turned and stood listening. In a moment they heard a dull smack, so away they ran to the light, but, to their surprise, they came out smaller than they went in, for they were tailless. While they were listening to the noise, a huge snake had crept upon them and was about ready to make a meal of both when they started to run. The snake believed that half a loaf is better than no bread, so off came the tail as meat for the greedy snake. And from that day to this the rabbit is tailless. RALPH W. HUMES. '17. WHAT DICK FOUND Master Dick found it, for how could anything less sharp than a boy's eyes find a thing so small and cleverly hidden? He was sitting in the orchard at the foot of an apple tree amusing himself by whit- tling sticks, and so interested was he, he forgot to sing or whistle. After sitting there for quite a while, he noticed a low humming above his head, and, knowing it for the sound of a humming bird, looked up just in time to see the little bird disappear among the leaves. "I wonder what she is hanging around here for," thought he. "The trees are not in bloom yet and surely she must see me." Deciding to keep quiet in order to get a good glimpse of her, he pushed back his hat and sat perfectly still and waited. Presently she came back, and this time she wavered in mid- air above him, as if trying to decide whether he were a boy or only some object that really belonged to the tree; then she turned toward an over-hanging branch, and, after a fluttering hesitation, darted in among the leaves. It was the work of a moment for she was off again like a flash, but it was long enough to discover to the watching boy below a humming-bird's nest, so small and so cunningly built that at first it looked like a lichen covered knot or joint of the branch it rested upon, while a couple of drooping leaves form- ed an ample canopy above, and almost hid it from view. Dick fairly flew into the house to tell his mother and father of his find. With the aid of a step-ladder, the family were able to inspect the wonderful little nest without dis- turbing it. By actual measurement, the nest was one inch in diameter and about one inch in height. It was made of soft white down or fiver, with an outside covering of greenish-white lichen, gathered no doubt from the limbs of the adjacent apple trees. In the nest were two white eggs, so small that they looked more like two quinine pills than like the eggs of any member of the feathered tribe. Dick made daily visits to the orchard and watch- ed the mother bird sitting on her tiny nest. But one morning he found her gone from her tiny nest, so, bringing the step-ladder, he looked into the nest and took his first look at the newly-hatched humming- birds. "They're just like big fuzzy flies!" he exclaimed. "They are mostly eyes and mouth; their eyes are not open yet, but their mouths are wide." Many busy days were spent by Mr. and Mrs. Hum- ming-bird finding proper food for their ever-hungry little cannibals. Dick watched and reported their rapid growth from day to day, thinking that they would outgrow their nest before they were strong enough to fly. A three days' rain kept him from the orchard and when he did go the youngsters had flown. Although watching for many days he never again caught a glimpse of the humming-bird family. --JACK HOWARD, '17.

One windy day, as I was walking along a street in Philadelphia, a man's hat came spinning along, carried by a gust of wind, and an elderly-looking gentleman was vainly pursuing it. I stopped the hat and handed it to the gentleman, who came up then, panting with the run. He asked my name and then told me to come and dine with Benjamin Franklin on the morrow. I was very much surprised to find myself "in with" such a famous dignitary, and I immediately accept- ed his kind invitation. The next thing to do was to decide what to wear, so that very hour I bought myself a new wig, one of the finest, also a new ruff, the stiffest white one I could procure, for I intended to appear well with my host at dinner the next evening. The time appointed approacheed slowly enough, in fact, to be honest and straight-forward, it ap- proached too slowly. I was all ready and waiting long before the time appointed, and my impatience to start was very poorly concealed. At last I started and arriving at Franklin's home was greeted by him very kindly, but he said that he wished I had not worn my best wig and ruff, be- cause it made him feel as if I were a formal visitor. I murmured an apology, and asked him to tell me of his experiments with electricity and other sub- jects, which he did in a very entertaining manner, after which we had dinner. After dinner we spent a most enjoyable evening, (at least I did), he doing nearly all of the talking, while I drank in every word; also he read me some of his writings, both prose and poetry, all of which were exceedingly interesting, and he gave me a copy of one of his poems, which I shall always keep. It was with the greatest difficulty that I at last tore myself away to go home, but I left with a hearty invitation to come again, which I easily promised to do, but that was my first and last visit to Benjamin Franklin, because he was soon sent to England to appeal to Parliament for the repeal of the Stamp Act, but I shall never forget my "four hours with Benjamin Franklin." A FRESHMAN'S IMPRESSION OF HIGH SCHOOL. It seems to me that the Freshman is the orphan of High School. He comes in from the country school and has never met a pupil nor a teacher and is wholly unacquainted with the work. Yet he is supposed to understand all the methods and take all the laughs and jeers of the city boys and girls with perfect good humor. But I have survived all fo these trials and if it were not for that tormenting Latin I might be happy and contented. I must admit that my teachers have been patient with me and it is with regret on my part that I have to leave D.H.S. this year, and go to the Township High School next year. THE ADVANCE CLUB. The curiosity of many has been aroused by a no- tice appearing on the chapel blackboard every Wed- nesday which reads as follows: "Meeting of the Ad- vance Club in Room 13 at 3:15 today." To satisfy this curiosity I shall try to tell briefly what this club is and how it came to be formed. At the beginning of the second semester several boys thought they would like to form a reading club composed of boys of the Sophomore Class. On Feb- ruary 17 eleven boys met in Miss Kellogg's room ex- pressing a desire to form such a club. The boys were: Dudley Campbell, Lawrence Doland, George Dutcher, Frank Gooding, Homer Green, Philo Ham- mond, Everett James, Frederick Reid, Wayne Steph- ens, Homer Yates and Irvin Gephart. It was decided to meet every Wednesday. At the next meeting on February 24 the following officers were elected: President, Wayne Stephens; Vice President, Everett James; Secretary, Lawrence Doland; Treasurer, Homer Green; and Supervisor, Miss Kellog. It was decided to read "The Temp- est." Each purchased his own book and we read this very interesting play aloud, each boy taking a part. Since that Miss Kellogg has read to us "William the Conqueror" and "The Brushwood Boy," both by Rud- yard Kipling, and now she is reading "Westward Ho!" by Charles Kingsley. Nearly every member was present at the meetings until we finished "The Tempest." The half-dozen who still attend enjoy the stories very much and only wish that they could have had the privilege of belonging to such a club all the year. A MEMBER. EXCHANGE. We wish to express our regret for not being able to have an "Exchange" this year for, on account of the large cost of "The Bulletin" last year, only five hundred copies were published, and therefore we were not able to exchange with other schools. But this year we are hoping to have enough published so that we can have an exchange. And we hope that all those that receive this "Bulletin" will enjoy it.

Description An account of the resource [page 34] [corresponds to page 32 of DHS Bulletin '15] 32 DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN The Senior Play "Hey, Jim, wait a minute! Well, so am I, but that doesn't matter. Say, you ought to have been with me the week of February 12. Good time? I should say I did! What did I see? I saw one of the keen- est things I ever saw in my life! What was it? Well, I suppose I may as well start at the beginning and tell you all about it. So sit down, and please don't interrupt. "You know my cousin lives in Delaware, (that's down the 'Hocking' near Columbus), and along about February 1 he wrote me and said that his Senior Class was going to give a play called 'The 'Piper' and that he wanted to reserve me a seat. Well, I didnt care, so I told him to go ahead, and he did. "What kind of play was it, did you say? Well I'll tell you. You know, over in England, they offer- ed a prize for the best play to be presented at the Shakespeare anniversary at Stratford-on-Avon. Mrs. Lionel Marks, an American, under the name of Jose- phine Preston Peabody, wrote this play and won the prize. "It's scene is laid in Germany, at Hamelin on the Weser, about the year 1235. It's the old story, you know, of how the Piper took away the rats, and then, because they wouldn't pay him, he took their chil- dren, too. Well, that story is changed some, and fin- ally 'The Piper' brought the children all back home. One of his companions meanwhile had gotten pretty badly 'moonstruck,' as it says, over the mayor's daughter, and this Piper fellow used his pie to get her away from her folks and give her to his friend Michael. You see what it was like, don't you? "Of course the Piper was the biggest part. It was taken by a fine looking little fellow named Robert Eichhorn. Say, he was a star! There wasn't any- thing better that you could want. He did that part to a finish. At the end of the third act he has a long soliloquy in which he is represented as struggling with the Christ to keep the children. And when his will finally gives away, and he promises to give them back, I found that even my eyes were damp. Some- how, 'Bob,' as they called him, just seemed to fit the part, and he had the audience and the caste with him from the start. The girl whom he (Michael, not Liebenderfer) was so fond of was Barbara, the mayor's daughter. Louise Collins had this part, and she was fine. Her child- ish ways were winning and her acting with both The Piper and Michael captivated all of us. "The other one of the four, who seemed to be the leads in the play, was Veronika, the mother of the little lame boy. There was no part harder than this to portray and Jeannette Patton deserved much cred- it for her splendid playing of the part. "The little lame 'boy' was a 'girl,' this time, in the person of Miss Ruth Lemley. Say, she made a hit! She looked the part to perfection and played it very skillfully. "Oh, I don't want to forget Cheat-the-Devil, or Leo Wilson, as his real name was. He was another play- er in The Piper's troupe, and he was a 'perfect scream,' as the girls say. He wagged his head, look- ed innocently unhappy, and swore he couldn't be a butcher because 'he couldn't hurt them.' "Jacobus, the Mayor, and Kurt, the Councillor, were well-played parts, presented by Wallace and Mar- riott. The big fat butcher was a comical chap. He had more cotton-ermine and glass-diamonds than he knew what to do with, and when he started crying we nearly had a fit. His name is Thomson. You know he is the captain of that state championship basketball team. His 'wife' was quite a contrast to him. "I haven't time to tell you about all the interesting people there were in it, so I'll have to tell about the rest of it more or less collectively. About ten High School girls and sixty little tots were the children and you can imagine the beautiful scenic effect they produced. "More or less conspicuous among the crowd were Martin the Watch (Harold Main) and his pretty wife (Ruth Keyes) and Anselm, the red-robed priest, in the person of George Denton, who opened the play with much dignity. His two 'cherub-head' assistants, the acolytes, Earl Lazear and John Schoemaker, caus- ed a great deal of fun. "The whole crowd, priests, nuns, burghers, bur- gheresses, strollers, children, etc., added greatly to the play. Their spirit and enthusiasm was fine. "Say, a funny thing happened the last night. The English teacher in charge of the play, Miss Edwards, got a curtain call for a boquet. A minute later she and her sister, Mrs. Jackson, who coached the play, were standing on the stage behind the curtain, ad- miring the flowers. Some of the fellows had the curtain raised again and disclosed them, amid much laughter and hearty applause. Much credit was due to these two splendid coaches, for the play showed much fine coaching. "The money (they say they cleaned up a lot) was used to buy pictures for the High School. "What I want to tell you, is this. If you haven't read the play, go read it! It's worth your time any day. It was one of the finest plays I have ever seen and it was an inspiration to see it. They are saying down in Delaware that it is the best play that a Sen- ior Class has ever given, and after what I saw, I am ready to believe it."

ROBERT HOOK, Vice Pres. MARJORIE WELCH, Sec. RUTH BURNS, Treas. There are three prime features of the "Class of 1915" that have made us leaders in all we have un- dertaken. 1st We are positively the best class that ever entered D.H.S. 2nd. We know that we are the best that ever was. 3rd. Everybody else knows that we are the best that ever was. So, of course, these features could make our Senior Class nothing else but a grand and glorious success. In the first part of the year we had to do some studying (just to show we could), and so life was a trifle monotonous, except for the lovely demerit sheet that called every Monday morning. Of course, in football season, "Tommy" and "Dewey" said they couldn't let their studies interfere with their H.S. education, but that is Ancient History and we will leave it to the tender mercies of Mrs. Dackerman. The big excitement, however, of the time before Christmas, was the assigning of the parts for "The Piper," and the beginning of the rehearsals. After the holidays, work on "The Piper" began in earnest, and ended in glory, for it is needless to say that our Senior Play was the best ever given here. Then came the debate, with six of the men Seniors, and prominent in our double victory. Again, behold the importance of the Senior. Why, the Senior Class contains the best of every- thing. There's Thomson, who has the best capacity in school (except for raisin pie, where Lazear has him skinned a mile). Speaking of Earl, it is the unanimous verdict of the girls that he is the "cutest" fellow in D.H.S. Then there's Bob, our little plu- perfect prestissimo actor, orator, singer, wit, shark, and angel! Who can beat him? But if this dazzling array of masculine brilliance has tired your eyes, waft them please in the direction of those of the fair sex, who are affiliated with the Senior Class. Honestly now, for star work in Vergil and Elocution (not to mention Physics), could you ever see anybody who could put it over Ruth Keyes? And doesn't Mary Caroline look the most "stunning" in her Sunday-go-to-meeting-clothes" of anybody you ever saw? And if you don't think that Louise and Amy, and Midge and Ruth L. and Kat are about A1, right side up with care, just consult respectively Bob, Earl, Dewey, Joy, and Bas and be convinced at once. We have had a "grand" time and are just as sorry to leave as you are to have us go. But we commend to you the coming Seniors of "1916," and bid you a sincere, fond, and affectionate farewell. FAREWELL. Oh, dear old Delaware High School! Our eyes with tears are wet, The thoughts of leaving thee so soon, Have filled us with regret. The days have vanished as a dream, Since we have been with thee, Our hearts will always turn again To days that used to be. The happy days outnumber far The days with clouded skies, And rainbows bright with memories Arise before our eyes. Forever in our minds you'll be The dearest school we know, With loyal hearts we'll make to thee A pledge before we go. When other friendships claim our hearts, We'll think of High School days, When other duties must be done. Thy spirit will our courage raise. KATHARINE L. McCABE, '15.

EICHHORN, Treas. That the Junior Class is becoming the cynosure of admiring eyes is a fact evinced by many things which have come to note recently First, we are the ones who are publishing this issue of "The Bulletin" and if the other classes will think of this issue with half as much indulgence as we have of aspiration to make this a particularly good number, we shall consider ourselves very great indeed Secondly, Mr. Vance an- nounced in Chapel not long ago that the present third year class has a greater number of members eligible to wear class pins than any previous class. That shows that we are a big class and the best class so far. We are the class with that mysterious energy known as "pep," and we show this at every occasion, except, of course, in these latter days, when attack- ed by spring fever. Our parties are such successes! The first one was about Christmas time when Mrs. Paulsen was here. The lunch-room seemed filled with an abundant supply of the good things, but the love which each Junior has for all the others lured so many to the party that the provision of food gave out and the committee went home "supperless." Our last party was one which will long be remem- bered, being in the nature of a costume party. Many beautiful and many humorous costumes were seen and we know that the pleasure and fun of that even- ing will be eclipsed only by our formal banquet giv- en in honor of the Senior Class. For this event our refreshment committee is studying the most attrac- tive menus, our decoration committee is taking a course in interior decoration, and the program com- mittee is hard at work arranging a symposium de- signed to delight each guest. D.H.S. There is a certain school in the Buckeye State Whose fame is spread afar, In scholarship the list is known To far excel the par Of excellence and so we're classed As being a brighter star. In basketball we are right there, As has been shown before, And now we've got a pair of cups Of trophies of our more Than average strength in this game, Best loved of those indoor. And now our latest branch of sport Is sport and "sense" in one, For all well know that in debate It is not all just fun, But much hard work must be put in Before a speech is done. And so East High was met up here And sent back home defeated, And Lancaster was met away, And the decision was repeated; Showing us superior in this game Where "animus" not "corpora" is heated. "There is a Reason" for this success, The Road to Wellville" is plain, It's school spirit that does so much To keep our records clean; And if we win or if we lose, We work on just the same.

Description An account of the resource [page 45] [corresponds to page 43 of DHS Bulletin '15] DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN 43 Second Year Class The Sophomore Class came into existence Septem- ber 8, 1914. Nothing out of the ordinary happened for a while because everyone was busy learning the fundamentals of life, especially from Miss Patter- son, who gave some very fine lectures on the sub- ject. These lectures were very helpful to and much appreciated by her spell-bound listeners, even though that perfectly good advice is not very lasting in the memories of her audiences. There are several additions to the regular second year studies and those used other years have also proved very interesting. Undr Miss Kellogg, we studied "Ivanhoe" and certainly enjoyed it, both for the splendid story and the interesting discussion that arose. Something new is being done in the history classes. The "Independent Magazine" is being stud- ied once a week and is enjoyed very much. The first socieal vent of the year waes th Sopho- more party held December 22, just before Christmas vacation. The other classes had secured Mrs. Paul- sen to have charge of their parties and were so pleased with her method that we decided to ask for her services. If anyone can make a party go off with everyone taking part and no one feeling like an outsider, Mrs. Paulsen certainly is the one to do it. We had games without number, everyone indulg- ing in them. Even some of the teachers were so animated with the prevailing spirit that they joined in the games. Some fancy marching was also done, with Mrs. Paulsen leading. A few piano selections were rendered and, after singing some songs, re- freshments were served. While we were seated all, who could do so, recited limericks. When this sup- ply ran short, partners were made to talk about nothing but the war. Then the party closed and ev- eryone went home happy. Another Sophomore par- ty is planned for May 14. There is plenty of musical talent in the second year class and this talent has been used to a good advantage on several occasions. Three of the mem- bers of the quartette, which sang "The Family Doc- tor" in the concert given at the Opera House, are enrolled as Sophomores. One morning the second year class gave a musical program for Sophomores and any others who wished to attend. The main ob- ject was to illustrate the old lyrics that are being studied in the English classes. Mary Reading sang "Who is Sylvia?" Anna Zimmerman "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," and Lucile Eger "When Icicles Hang by the Wall." "Hark! Hark the Lark!" was sung by Lena Slack and Mary Reading. We are also advanced in literature, having a club called the Advance Club which is composed of boys of the second year class. This club has a reading class once a week, and has proved very advantage- ous to the members of the club, both for the pleasure of reading and also because it improves their read- ing ability, which is an important item in their Eng- lish work. The membership is rather small owing to the fact that many boys have to work evenings after school and could not attend the meetings. This club is supervised by Miss Kellogg. It is plainly evident that the Sophomore class has the "goods," and, with plenty of spirit, ought to make a name for itself in D.H.S. The spring has come And the sun shines bright And makes a lovely sight. When we go for flowers In the woods we like to stray To pick the buds of May. Through the woods we hear The song of the robin gay, As if he seems to say, "Come out and join us On this glorious day, Where we like to stay!" The brook murmurs It's low, soft, sweet song, As it flows along. With baskets of flowers We onward wend our way To sing of the joys of the day. --ANNA ZIMMERMAN, '17.

As Freshmen, we entered D.H.S. last fall, a healthy-looking crowd, even though we had not suc- ceeded in ridding ourselves of an emerald hue. We never can forget the manner in which we stumbled up the first flight of stairs on our way to Miss Old- ham's room, and how we fell all over ourselves in an unsuccessful attempt to be graceful. Our first few days at school were ones never-to-be-forgotten. We either got into our own Latin class, or we en- countered a bunch of smiling Seniors, and distinctly heard their cruel laughter as we hurriedly and blush- ingly made our exit. We entered into all things with as much spirit as anyone could show, even paying without a murmur the immense sum of fifty cents ($.50) to become a member of the Delaware High School Athletic As- sociation. In athletics, we have contributed but a few partici- pants, but no class gave more support than did ours during the football and basketball seasons. Not long after we had become settled at Delaware High, we were rejoiced to learn that the Freshmen were intending to hold a party on the third floor of the building. It took place one afternoon at the close of school, when the boys assembled in one room and the girls in another. Guides were ap- pointed in the persons of some of our brightest and most promising Freshmen, and we were escorted from room to room in search of the answers to var- ious puzzles placed on the walls. Numerous other games were played, after which we had a short pro- gram and refreshments. We then slowly wend- ed our way homeward,--of course, by ourselves. Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves immensely, and were congratulated on our nice behavior. As time goes on, we notice that the strange ways and customs of the Freshmen are gradually fading away. That look of verdancy is slowly being re- placed by the more refined look of the upper class- man. At the present time, there is hardly a chapel exercise that we are not reminded of our position. But, Freshmen, cheer up, for the time will soon come when we will sit on the other side of the chapel, and chuckle and laugh at the blushes of the new Fresh- men who will occupy our seats next year. So again, Freshmen, cheer up. Some day maybe we will be Seniors. And maybe some day we shall reach the dignity, grace, and power of leadership which is expected of a Senior class. A LETTER FROM WINIFRED KING IN INDIA. Hebron, Conoor, February 19, 1915. Dear Girls: I expect when you get this you will say, "Well, I think it's time Winifred King wrote to us! She has neglected us shamefully!" I wouldn't object if you said that and lots of worse things for it is true. I should have written before, I know, but I really haven't had time. I am actually here at Hebron and have been for about three weeks. I wish you could be here with me. I have been homesick quite of- ten and I think I would feel better if you were all here! Now I suppose you want to know how I like Co- noor and Hebron. Well, Conoor is lovely and so is Hebron but of course I would much rather be at home. I will tell you how I spend my school days. We get up at 6:30 o'clock, have "quiet time" from 7 to 7:30, breakfast at 8 and school begins at 9:15. We have recess at 10:30, school lets out at 12:15. Then we have dinner at 12:30 and school begins at 1:30. We are let out at 3:30, then we have tea. Af- ter that we do as we please until 5 o'clock when we go for a walk or to the play-ground. It is lots of fun when we go there for there are lots of things to amuse us. We have a vaulting horse, parallel bars, a jumping arrangement, a see-saw, a trapeze and a Japanese swing. They are all heaps of fun though the trapeze is too low for me. When I try to hang on to it it strains my arms more than it would if it were higher. We are starting gardens up at the play-ground and I tell you I had some blisters the first day. I don't care for it is stacks of fun. I have a room and room-mate, for which I am thankful. My room-mate's name is Elsie Marsh and she is heaps of fun. She seems more like you girls than anyone I have met since I left Delaware and dear old "D.H.S." There are heaps of nice girls here. I feel quite at home already. I am really go- ing to write to each of you some day but you'll have to have patience I am afraid. I guess I'll have to stop now for it is almost time to give in our letters. Heaps of love. Your friend, WINIFRED.

A well known Collar Company has discovered that D'Israeli once said that a man could be judged by his neckwear. But there are far more fundamental evidences of whether or not a man has iron in his blood, sand in his back, and love in his heart, than whether he wears a "bat-wing" or a "lock-front" col- lar. The "marks of a man," in the last analysis, are the elemental points upon which his character are built. Diguise them as you will, the five things here noted will eventually show themselves and mark their bearer a man in the best sense of the word. The first and greatest essential of true manliness is an unflinching and unfaltering faith in God Al- mighty and His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. We may search History in vain for one who was really a man without this great and necessary asset. It is the upward pull that makes a life and God, our Fath- er, takes care of this when we "play him square." He who attempts to rule his existence and fulfill the purpose for which he was created, without taking into his plan the great Creator, and Ruler of all, will find his character stunted, his sought-for happi- ness blighted, and his life foredoomed to ignominious and unconditional failure. But he who "builds upon the rock" will enlarge, and fill his capabilities, and make a character that is not measured in dollars and cents. To a large extent, the second characteristic grows out of the first fundamental. It is a profound and courteous gentleness to women. In this day of mil- itant suffragettes and women policemen there is a tendency to forget this very essential mark of a character. A supercilious politeness, sporadically applied, does not meet this test of character. It must have its foundation in a deep and lasting love and respect for those who mean so much to us. This is not the acquirement of a week for social purposes. It must be a unit in the character of a man, and deeply inbred in his nature, and evidently expressed in his conduct. But kindness and gentleness do not mean "molly- coddleness." A real man has physical and moral courage. Nobody loves a jelly-fish, and a man with- out grit is like an automobile without gasoline. Our idea of true manliness always involves physical bravery and there is no need of dilation on this point. But there is a subtler and deeper and more important courage than this physical asset to character. A man must have convictions and courage enough to stand up for them. This world is tired of men who are "conveniently good." It demands men who know what is right and have the pluck to stand up for it. Moral courage meets this demand and is therefore a vital part of true character. Courage, without self-control, is like a ship with- out a rudder. Character cannot attain its best un- less it has this fourth asset, self-control. This means not only courage to act in a crisis, but such a grip on one's faculties that one acts right. The man who loses his head in a pinch is like Ralph Connor's flea: "He's there; you put your thumb on him--he ain't there." When a man makes self-control one of the foundation stones of his character, you may trust his snap decisions, for his command of his faculties is as complete in a crisis as in a normal condition. This is, evidently, then, a very vital thing to the symmetrical life. It has been said, "The best sense is a sense of proportions." Perfect self-control means the seeing of things in their correct relations, and ordering one's actions accordingly. Here are the first four "marks of a man." What more is lacking after a man has "clinched" his relig- ious faith, his deferential courtesy to women, his physical and moral courage, and his self-control? Just this: Posessing all these qualities a man may still lack the right spirit in which to use them, and, turning them to selfish aggrandizement may, instead of up- lifting, ruin himself. The guide then for the use of these character units forms the fifth of them. It is a spirit of loving sacrifice for the uplift of others. We grow by giving, and develop by sacrifice. This splendid quality is finding emphasis in the modern "social service" and "big brother" movements. It is the key to character and the gate to heaven, for: "If we give ourselves to man and God In burning, unselfish love, We shall find ourselves, and save ourselves, On earth, and in heaven above." AURA SMITH, JR., '15. A new face is to be seen within the walls of our school. It is the face of one who always has been here but who has not always been discernible. It is the face of one of the loveliest beings in the world --a being which grows larger and lovelier when car- ed for, but which shrivels up into ashes when neg- lected, and which vanishes entirely when jarred ever so little. This being is the friendship between pupil and teacher, which has become so great a factor of our school life. Many times during the year has a party of four or five teachers been invited to homes of various pupils for dinner and a pleasant evening together. Many times have boys, in groups at times, at other times singly, stayed for an hour or two to tell their troubles to sympathetic ears and have gone away looking at the world through new spectacles. Often have girls told their grievances to some teacher for whom they felt a strong liking. It is quite needless to say that a memory of such an event goes a long way toward making Mathematics, Lan- guages, and Science more enjoyable branches of study. And it is equally needless to say that such memories may help toward smoothing out the rough places of school discipline.

Our prime object has been to make it essentially a school paper Hith- erto, most of the space has been devoted to the Jun- iors and Seniors, with the consequent neglect of the lower classes. While we realize that the greater ac- tivities of the upper classes will naturally fill more of a place in the "Bulletin" than will the lesser ac- tivities of the Freshman and Sophomore classes, still we wish to have both these classes amply represent- ed. And so, through the nature and arrangement of the jokes, through the Freshman blotter, and by de- voting several pages to the short stories of the two classes, we have endeavored to accomplish this. We sincerely trust that our efforts will meet with the approval of those concerned, and taht we may suc- ceed by this means in meaning the lower classes take an added interest in the "Bulletin," and in making them really feel that they constitute an important and indispensable part of D.H.S. At the suggestion of several persons whom we have reason to believe are deeply interested in the welfare of the school, we have endeavored to estab- lish a custom which we hope will be taken up and carried on by succeeding "Bulletins," namely, that of dedicating the June issue of our school paper to some one of the teachers. It has seemed altogether fitting and proper that this should be done and that the teacher with whom we first came in contact on entering the school and who shaped our first recol lections of D.H.S. should be the one with whom we ought rightly to begin. And so we are sure that as we gaze at the picture of Miss Oldham, to whom this year's "Bulletin" is dedicated, and when in succeed- ing years we enjoy the likenesses of those other teachers who have so endeared themselves to us, that it will help to fasten indelibly in our memories and to deepen the appreciation of the wonderful part these friends have played in the molding of our characters.

Description An account of the resource [page 50] [corresponds to page 48 of DHS Bulletin '15] 48 DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN One of the most important additions to this issue of the "Bulletin," and one which we trust will in- crease its interest, is our advertisement contest. Realizing that, though D.H.S. is not a vocational school, still the trend of modern education is toward the preparation for a commercial career, and that one of the first essentials of a good business man is embodied in the art of expressing one's ideas in clear, clean-cut, and decisive English, we have come to the conclusion that a slight preparation during our H.S. course in the way of writing advertisements would not be amiss, and so, through the kind co-operation of O.W.U., we have been enabled to present such a contest to the pupils of D.H.S., who we might add, have responded heartily. O.W.U. has kindly con- sented to judge all the advertisements for the Uni- versity which are submitted by High School students, offering as an incentive two prizes; furthermore, the prize advertisement is to be printed as reg- ular advertising matter in our columns with the writer's name attached. This contest has aroused widespread interest in the school and nearly one hundred and fifty promising ads have been submit- ted. It is certain that such a contest has meant much to D.H.S., and that by arousing interest in the University among H.S. students, it will benefit the college in no small degree, and we sincerely trust that the custom thus inaugurated will become permanent and that as hearty and as full a response will always be given by the pupils of this school. Amogn other things which have come to occupy an important place in D.H.S. is that of properly organized and scientifically directed athletics for the girls. Formerly they occupied no place whatsoever and it has only been during recent years that they have been given proper recognition. We have always regarded athletics for boys as indispensable, but strange to say we never seem to have realized until lately that perhaps a little exercise might be a good thing for the girls also. We are sure that it marked a great step forward for D.H.S., when we placed athletics for girls on such a firm basis as was done during this year. Coaches from the town and the college have consented for a slight renumeration to instruct all the girls who are interested in the art of folk dancing and Indian club swinging; in addi- tion to this, basketball, baseball, hockey, and relay teams have been organized. The girls have given this new project their most hearty support, and by means of tournaments held in the H.S. Gymnasium they defend the honor of their class as bravely as the boys have ever defended the honor of their school. A word must be said in regard to the teach- ers who have so kindly and unselfishly devoted a por- tion of their time to the forming of these teams and to the managing of the business end of the affair, and we wish to express the appreciation of the en- tire school to all who have helped in any way what- soever to place athletics for the girls of D.H.S. on a firm basis. An out-of-town visitor who saw what took place during our recent debate with East High School of Columbus, made the remark that more real school spirit was displayed that evening than at any other High School contest he had ever witnessed. This is certainly a great tribute to be paid D.H.S. and perhaps it would not be out of place were we to stop and consider what is responsible for such a pleasing state of affairs. It cannot be denied that our en- thusiastic rallies are in a large part responsible, but underneath all that is hidden that individual and collective responsibility for the success of our un- dertakings which every member of the school seems to possess to a marked degree. We shall ot at- tempt to analayze, nor seek out the cause of this feel- ing, it is sufficient to state that we are happy and grateful that it exists. One cannot fully appreciate his own school until he visits some other school and then the advantages which we possess become evi- dent. You have only to interrogate the members of D.H.S., who have visited the contests held by other schools to appreciate fully the spirit shown by our school. But although school spirit, if but properly held in check and directed along the right channels, is a most desirable and commendable thing, still a word ought to be said concerning school spirit which is permitted to run wild. School spirit if unre- strained is apt to result disastrously to the school and instead of increasing our glory to materially de- tract from the enviable reputation which we have succeeded in establishing, and so it ought to be the duty and privilege of every member of this school to see to it that there is no act or word of his, even though committed in an excess of spirit, shall any disgrace or injury ever befall old D.H.S. A word ought to be said in regard to the increased interest of the alumni in the various school activi- ties. Formerly the majority of the pupils upon grad- uation promptly proceeded to forget that they were ever connected with D.H.S., for the wider vision which their new life afforded them. But recently there seems to have been a change. The alumni no longer consider it a mark of childishness to drop in occassionally and see how things are proceeding; they have also given us their loyal and hearty sup- port whenever the honor and reputation of old D. H.S. was at stake, either on the athletic grounds or debating platform. The school deeply appreciates this added interest and sincerely hopes that it will increase with the years that separate our alumni from their school. The Senior Class has decided to replace the time- honored class-day and its exercises with a picnic. We do not know why this has been done unless it was because they thought their hard work through- out their four years of high school life merited them a little relaxation and vacation at the end.

Description An account of the resource [page 51] [corresponds to page 49 of DHS Bulletin '15] DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN 49 This paper would seem incomplete were no men- tion to be made of the awful conflict which is rag- ing in Europe at the present time. To the majority of the really thoughtful persons it would appear that there are three things which we, as non-combatant citizens, can do during this frightful conflict. In the first place it is our solemn duty to pray God that this war, with its useless wholesale destruction of human life and property, shall cease; then, second- ly, we ought to thank a good God and a wise gov- ernment for the fact that we are spared the hor- rors of such a struggle, and, most important of all, we, as future American citizens, ought to take such a firm and unyielding stand against the principles that produce and foster war, and obtain such a sav- ing faith in the Prince of Peace, that should the is- sue ever arise, while we hold the reins of govern- ment, we shall do all in our power to prevent the re- currence of a tragedy such as is now occuring in supposedly civilized and supposedly Christian Eur- ope. As you doubtless remember, a picture exhibit was held at the High School during December for the purpose of securing funds sufficient to buy pictures for the various rooms. The exhibit was a decided success and over twenty beautiful and appropriate pictures have been purchased with the proceeds, the titles of which are given below. These pictures are all excellent prints from the paintings of the most famous artists, and will furnish a most attractive addition to our school. The titles are as follows: By the River Derwentwater Angel with Lute The Windwall The Baloon Appeal to the Great Spirit Tell Status at Atldorf Westminster Abbey The Matterhorn Media and the Argonauts A Reading from Homer Canterbury Cathedral Columbo Breakwater Heath after Rain The Golden Stairs Engineering Joan of Arc Hearing the Voices In addition to the titles given above are two very beautiful panel paintings. The first, illustrating "The Roman Period" and "The Modern Age," consists of two pictures of six panels each, hung facing each other in the lower hall. The second is called "The Evolution of the Book," and consists of two parts of three panels each, also hung facing each other. There is also a picture, "Hope," which was given by Mrs. Halloran, in memory of her daughter, Gail, who was taken seriously ill while attending D.H.S., and died shortly after. These beautiful pictures will be a val- uable addition to the beauty of the school, and will furnish a constant source of inspiration to those who look upon them. The teachers and the pupils of D.H.S. wish to thank the people of Delaware for the hearty support which they have given the undertakings of the school. Several years ago anyone would have scoffed at the thought of staging the Senior Play on three consecu- tive evenings; this year this was accomplished with ease. Such has been the case with all our school ac- tivities--whenever the hearty support of the town- people was needed, we found them willing and ready. Again, we wish to express our deepest appreciation and gratitude for the interest and co-operation the people of Delaware have given us in all our under- takings, and it is our earnest deisre that this support may increase as the quality of the work accomplish- ed increases from year to year. The Calendar for Commencement this year con- tains a most entertaining and instructive list of at- tractions. The speakers secured are of wide reputa- tion and every feature of the work will merit the attendance of all the pupils as well as that of all the patrons of the school who can possibly be present.

The team, composed of Robert Eichhorn, Dana Latham, Aura Smith, Jr., (Capt.), and Earl Lazear, alternate, con- clusively demonstrated its superiority over the Co- lumbus team in all departments of the contest. The question for the debate was, "Resolved, That the United States should subsidize her merchant ma- rine." All thre of the schools in the league had agreed upon a definition of what subsidy was to be. Robert Eichhorn, speaking first for Delaware, ar- gued the need of a subsidy. Then Dana Latham proved the efficiency of the plan and Aura Smith con- cluded the constructive argument for the affirmative with arguments on its practicability. This same or- der of speakers was maintained during the rebuttal. Each speaker brought out his arguments clearly and carefully, and proved his point absolutely in the minds of the judges. The careful coaching the boys had received was amply shown and reflects great credit on the work of Miss Bird, the debate coach.

Although the audience was very small, the Lancaster fellows showed fine spirit in their good treatment of the visiting team. They met the Delaware crowd at the car and, after we had gotten our supper, the boys were taken to a club or rather a High School Frat. Here we rested for an hour or so before going to the High School building and getting ready for the debate. The town of Lancaster is very beautiful, the High School being in a very high part of the town. They have a very fine building and auditor- ium in which the debate was held. The chairman was one of the members of this year's graduating class. Those on the team from here were: Arthur Burrer, Bert Jaynes, Geo. Denton, and Harold Main, alternate, and those who went with the team were: Miss Bird, Ruth Smart, Harry Weizer, Arthur Mil- ler and Robt. Decker. The debate was scheduled early in order that we might take the 9:30 car from Lancaster. We arrived in Delaware about 12:30 and were still in fine spirits, for, although they treat- ed us fine and the trip was enjoyed, the best part was the 2 to 1 vote of judges in favor of Delaware High.

Coach The Season Our football season opened with material which promised to be better than for several years past. The men were heavy, fast, and had had enough ex- perience to help out a great deal in shaping a win- ning team. Manager Liebenderfer arranged a sched- ule with teams of great strength and a hard but suc- cessful season was contemplated. Paul Beard, as- sistant in gymnasium at O.W.U., was obtained as coach and over forty men reported for first practice. Everything went smoothly until the schedule start- ed. The first game, as is customary, was played against the Alumni, who were strengthened by sev- eral O.W.U. 'Varsity men in their line-up. Our fel- lows played an aggressive game but could not hold the heavier and better drilled former students, and were defeated 20 to 0. Mt. Gilead was the first High School team met and proved easy picking for the Beard-coached fellows. We scored at will and didn't even feel the presence of an opposing team. On the next Saturday the team journeyed to Columbus to play East High. The game was played at Indianola Park in a sea of mud. It was raining hard during the last three periods of play and the team could not hold the heavier and speedier Columbus team, with Chick Harley the particular aggressor. Aquinas was our next foe, and this game was also played on a muddy field, in a rain storm. The result was not quite as bad as the week previous, Aquinas winning 13-0. Next week the fellows journeyed to Ada and came back home the next day with another defeat chalked against them. Galion was our next foe, and talk about luck! They must have carried a horseshoe in every pocket. We out-played them in every stage of the game, but still they managed to tie us on the flukest flukes possible. The score was 13-13 but the playing was 13-0. On the next Satur- day the team went down to Newark, and, thanks to "Tommy," who always does seem lucky, we were vic- tors 9-6. The score would have been another tie if it hadn't been for "Tommy's" "cultivated" (that is the corn was cultivated) toe. He sent a pretty drop- kick over from the thirty-seven yard line which put the game on ice. To show how lucky he was, we will give his account of it: "I looked at the goal--I felt the wind blowing--I looked at the ball--I shut my eyes and trusted to the Virgin Mary to guide the ball straight." Well anyway, we're glad he made those three points. Columbus West was next played and again "Tommy" was the "little" hero with a lift from the 30-yard line. This was the only score ob- tained by either side during the entire game and it surely did look big. Doane Academy, at Granville, was next visited and their greater weight was large- ly responsible for the score. The closing game was played with Mt. Vernon and the Knox County lads put up a fine brand of ball, winning 10-3. This game was played at Mt. Vernon before 1,000 spectators and it was a shame we had to lose. However, we even- ed things up in basketball so "We should worry." The Scores Alumni ...............20 D.H.S. .................0 Mt.

The second game was played one week later with North High, Columbus, as the op- position. "Rus" Walter's playing on this team gave them enough advantage over us to win 18-10, but the team showed a great improvement over the previous week's work. After this defeat Emil Turner, '13, was secured as coach and started at once to shape a championship team. The third game played was with Mansfield, at Mansfield. Coach Dixon, of Wes- leyan, who had seen Mansfield in action the week previous, gave us the encouraging report that he be- lieved Mansfield was the best coached team he ever saw among High Schools. So we went expecting to be walloped. The first half our fellows could not find the Mansfield team, the ball, or the basket, and the half ended 19-4 against us. Between halves the fellows were initiated into the first real sermon that Turner gave, and it produced a result that was sur- prising. The fellows went back on the floor and played Mansfield clear off its feet. "Bus" Reid was all over the floor at once, and "Fat" Henry reduced his weight ten pounds trying to find him. The giddy girls were out in force and went simply wild at the speed "Bus" uncorked, and at Guard Liebenderfer's "economy" trousers. It was difficulty that we got these two players away from the pretty girls, who were waiting outside to capture them, before our car left. After the Mansfield game the team buckled down to two weeks of hard work in prepar- ation for the next game, which was played with Lan- caster. The two weeks' practice had brought outn much improvement in their playing and Lancaster was sent back home defeated 29-22. It was their first defeat of the season and incidentally our first victory. The next game, which was to be played with East High, Columbus, was cancelled by them, and Columbus Trades School was brought up instead. This team was the easiest "fish" of the season and the game was too one-sided to be interesting.

Newark came next and was sent back home wtih the short end of a 29-16 count. This game was well played and showed local fans that D. H.S. was still in the running in athletics. Our next game was to have been played with Newark at New- ark but the Senior Play was scheduled for that week, making it impossible for "Tommy" or "Dewey" to play, so we changed and went to Galion instead. Playing on a skating rink floor, in a building only half lighted our fellows were nearly all the whole first half getting used to the darkness, but, several seconds before the gong, they found themselves and the half ended 14-12 in our favor. The second half was started with a vim and was the roughest half played this season. Personal fouls were called ga- lore and some one was on the floor all the time. The spirit there is not the best and at time spectators and subs would run out on the floor ready to "clean up on the whole Delaware bunch." However, we got away safely, with the long end of a 36-30 score tucked in our suitcases to boot. Our season ended with the East High game, played at Columbus. Be- fore the game the fellows were watching a game between South and East High Girls. The game was about half over when a mob of fellows, looking like a portion of Coxey's Army, burst into the gym and landed in a heap on top of the team. After the dust had settled it was seen that they were D.H.S. fel- lows who had come down to see the game on a spe- cial Pennsy freight train chartered for the occasion. Their yelling, coupled with the support South High gave us, was laregly responsible for the 38-13 victory which the boys pulled off. This victory, the fifth consecutive one, closed our regular schedule and everything was then pointed toward the O.W.U. High School Basketball Tournament, which started the following week.

The first game is to be played with Forgy at 10 a.m., and if victorious we play the winner of the Marietta-Oxford game at 2:30 p.m. So runs the bulletin concerning the first two games for Delaware. Forgy is easily defeated by our boys who turn in a 34-10 count without half trying. Oxford proves easy picking for Marietta also who simply secure enough points to win, and then "sol- dier" so as to be rested for the afternoon game. A thousand spectators are banked around the court, yelling, whistling, arguing, growling. The Marietta team is in one corner anxious to show its skill; the Delaware team is in another ready to make a sen- sation. The whistle blows, the game is on, the ball passes back and forth for several minutes, the whis- tle blows again--a foul is called on Marietta; Law- rence is making the try; it is successful--Delaware scores first. Thus the game progresses, backward and forward goes the ball, first Delaware then Mar- ietta scores, and the half ends with Delaware ahead 8-7. The teams come on the floor ready for the sec- ond half, Marietta not quite so confident, Delaware is still determined, Marietta's center is weakening, Per- ry gets the bat-off, Reid goes into the game, and get- ting the ball, slips in a "ringer" from past the cen- ter of the floor. Our fellows are passing "fools," they are playing a great game, the whole Marietta team is slowing up. We get another basket, then another, the whistle blows, the game is over, teh score? 21 to 16. In whose favor? What a foolish question--ours, of course. Thus ends what many believe to be the best High School game ever play- ed in Ohio, and most assuredly the best tournament game ever played. Marietta, last year's Ohio cham- pions, came back confident of repeating. However, they were over-confident as was shown by the re- sult and, although undoubtedly better than any Northern team competing here, they were forced to clear out of the championship running. The final game, to prove which team was the winner of first place and which must be content with second place, was scheduled for 3:00 o'clock. Before the game it was whispered that the business men of Mt. Vernon, who had accompanied their team, had "staked" more than a thousand dollars on the out- come of the game with local D.H.S. rooters. Over one thousand people paid to see this game and fully three-fourths of our High School students were there --a rather late time to show their spirit, but it is hoped they don't lose it all before next season. The season closed with a banquet to the team at Capt. Thomson's home, and talk about eats--well it is sufficient to say that "Tommy" got filled, together with several other fellows whose capacity was just as large as Ralph's--if such a thing is possible! At this banquet Clarence Perry, who played in every game this season and led in a number of points se- cured, was elected to lead next year's term and with Thomson and Liebenderfer the only two graduating, next year's team should be just as good as the one of this year.

But that end was not yet gained for something intervened, namely the arrival of the Child's Welfare Society in Delaware. On one of the last mornings Mrs. Paulsen was here, she came to the High School and suggested to the girls, assembled in the chapel, they they organize a Girls' Athletic Association. She told them that the idea would not be to make money but that the dues would only be enough to run current expenses. The aim of the club was to get as much fun out of the games as possible. There was practically a unani- mous vote to have the organization. The girls elect- ed Josephine Powers as President of the Athletic As- sociation. The enthusiasm of the girls was great and they were all eager to begin. But the enthusiasm of the president was greater so it was only a very short time before the games and folk-dancing were in full swing. Miss Louise Williams, an alumna recently graduated, offered her service to teach the girls of the High School folk-dancing and has been a patient and able instructor. She organized a group of girls from each class who were taught various folk-dances on the third floor, while games of various kinds were coach- ed by Miss Cronan at the beginning, then by Helen Hill. Then, when the regular coaches were unable to come, Jo Powers took their place and coached the girls herself. There has been some basketball play- ed but most of the time has been taken up with other games such as corner-ball, volley-ball, center-ball, newcombe, scrimmage, indoor baseball, and then the different relays. Tournaments were played. The first tournament was between the Freshmen and Sophomores. Volley-ball and basketball were play- ed with a bean-bag relay race for a change. All the games were rather snappy and both sides had plenty of "pep." Marjory Crimm, Isabelle Perry and Verna Sutton were captains of the three teams. The score in volley-ball was 17-20 in favor of the Sophomores. The five points from the relay race were also won by the second-year girls. The Sophomore girls won the largest end of the score, 21-14. The second tour- nament was between the Junior and Senior Classes. In the hopping relay race the Senior girls won the five points from the Juniors by a close margin. The Seniors also won the indoor baseball game by the shocking score of 22-11. This looked as if the third year girls had a little to much Marietta in them for they had never been defeated before by any class and were a little too confident. But they played up bet- ter in the basketball game, where the score became them better, for they won from the Seniors, 14-2. The final score was 29-25 in favor of the Seniors. A good many fouls were made in the game of basketball. Gladys English was only in the first half but did ex- cellent work for the Juniors. Helen Rick seemed entirely too quick for the Seniors. Helen Edwards was always right there with the ball and as usual did some very good guarding. Louise Collins secured the one basket belonging to the Seniors and worked hard as did all the rest of the team. Good pass work was seen in both teams. Line-up: Seniors Juniors Left Forward Ruth Lemley, Louise Collins.......... ..........Gladys English, Juanita Robinson Right Forward Marjory Welch.....................Florence Follwell Left Guard Ruth Smart...........................Helen Baker Right Guard Katherine McCabe.....................Helen Edwards J.C. Margaret Eaton.......................Helen Rieck R.C. Amy Neff............................Florence Potter Summary--Gladys English, 3 baskets; Louise Col- lins, 1 basket; Florence Follwell, 4 baskets. The finals were played off between the Seniors and Sophomores. The Seniors won the short dash while the Sophomores won the relay. The tournament was ended by a basketball game, the Seniors gaining the largest end of a 12-6 score. Emma Veley and Louise Taggart were especially good in their passing. Al- thea Tibbals starred for the Sophomore team. Louise Collins played an excellent game, but miscalculated the distance when throwing fouls. "Midge" Welch played a good game always. The Sophomores were good sports through the tournament, which is say- ing a great deal, for "good sports" will be chosen rather than just good players. The final tournament socre was 17-11 in favor of the Seniors. There is to be a week of tournaments between the classes in which all the games that can be played indoors are to be played off and then the girls will begin to play on their new athletic field and the spring teams of hockey and tennis will practice for the later tourna- ments. Every girl in the Athletic Association is working hard for the coming games. Many thanks are due Miss Patterson and Josephine Powers. Miss Patterson has been untiring in her efforts. She has always been right there in the gym every night and, when the other coaches have not been able to be there, and, finally, when they stop- ped altogether, our "Jo" went down to the gymna- sium and coached the girls herself. She has made many sacrifices and has made them very willingly. She has been a good and energetic leader and has kept up the enthusiasm of the girls when nothing else could have done so.

Soon after the arrival the guests were summon- ed to the dining room, where they were served with a splendid chicken dinner and all the accessories. After the meal, Robert Eichhorn presented the host with a pretty scarf pin given by the boys of the crowd as a remembrance of that day. The evening was spent in games and music and a general good time, when the crowd was started on its homeward journey by its chaperon, Mr. Kerr. Spread! Eats! What next? The enthusiasm of the D.H.S. athletic girls has always been very great but it seems an absolute im- possibility to see greater enthusiasm displayed than when any kind of a spread is mentioned. So it was when Jo Powers announced that the Girls' Athletic Association was to have a spread upon the third floor of the High School. Each girl contributed her share of the "eats," and strange to relate, was right on time. The sandwiches, pickles, cake, etc., were put on long tables at one end of the room after which a general "grab" ensued, some getting enough, oth- ers getting practically nothing at all but one and all declaring that they had had "some spread" and "more fun than a lot." After the excitement of get- ting the something or nothing to eat had subsided, each class pulled off a stunt. After giving several yells which threatened to lift the roof of the building, the rather hoarse, but ab- solutely happy, crowd of girls went home all saying that they had had "a grand time" and "let's have an- other spread very soon." At seven o'clock on the evening of April tenth, the members of the K.E.I. Club of the Y.M.C.A., with their mothers as guests, sat down to an excellent six- course dinner, which was served in the Boys' Room of the Association Building, one large table being used to seat the whole company, which numbered forty. Between courses each gentleman moved two plac- es to the right, which added greatly to the enjoy- ment of the evening, allowing the boys to become acquainted with the mothers of the other fellows. After the dinner, Robert Eichhorn, President of the club, acting as toastmaster, presided over a program which included several good musical numbers and the following toasts: "The History of the Club," by Leo Wilson; "The Fellows," by Dana Latham, and "Our Job," by Aura Smith. After the formal toasts, Mrs. Eichhorn, Mrs. Latham and Miss Ed- wards responded to informal toasts. Miss Patterson, Miss Bird, Miss Wagner and Miss Edwards acted as mothers "pro tem" for some of the fellows. On the evening of April thirtieth, at the Y.M.C.A. building, the two clubs, the Kappa Epsilon Iota and the Ask and Answer, entertained their girl friends with a delightful party. The club rooms were beau- tifully decorated with Japanese lanterns. The chief feature of the evening's entertainment was a play- let, "Mrs. Pipp's Waterloo," which was cleverly given. Mr. C. A. Kerr, the Boy's Secretary, gave a delight- ful monologue entitled "Lord Dundreary's Propos- ing." Other pleasant features of the evening were games and music. Misses Wagner, Patterson and Kellogg presided over the punch bowl, and, with Mrs. Duvall and Mrs. Sutton, acted as chaperons. The second year class held a picnic at the Dela- ware Springs Sanitarium Grounds, May 14th. About sixty-five were present and had a fine time. Those who went left the school house immediate- ly after school and walked to the Sanitarium Grounds. Many different games were indulged in until supper time. Then a most delightful repast was served, after which all returned home feeling that the picnic was a very successful one. The teachers that attended the picnic were: Mrs. Dackerman, Misses Kellogg, Schults and Williams. If anything could have added to the joy which our debate teams experienced over their double victory, it was the splendid dinner party which they enjoyed at Earl Lazear's home on Friday, May 21. This lit- tle get-together was prompted by the entire personnel of the teams which Miss Bird and "Bill" Blayney, who went along ostensibly to play the piano, while the team ate. (For particulars consult "Bill.") The crowd met at Bill's after an unsuccessful attempt by Dana to run clear over George's machine, which was standing in front of the house. We should think that after his "Motorcycle Mike" episode he would be more careful, but the fact that he is entirely obliv- ious to danger is proved by his publishing of the "Bulletin." The team climbed into Dana's surviving machine and Miss Bird and the others got into Den- ton's. Miss Bird had to draw cuts to decide which maching she should ride in, for fear of a fight. Once arrived at Lazear's a very interesting ball game was started, and interrupted in the second inning, with Bob at bat, by the call to dinner. All who enjoyed it were unanimous in their verdict that it was a glor- ious dinner.

Advertising Contest The Advertising Contest offered by Ohio Wesleyan University resulted as follows: Frank Burrer--First Prize. Raymond Braumiller--Second Prize. Those deserving honorable mention are: Aura Smith, Jr. Pauline Main. Agnes Kunze. The Judges, Messrs. H. T. Main, representing the High School; H. Van Caldwell, of the University fac- ulty, and A. W. Morrison, of the O.W.U. Transcript, wish to give great credit to all the contestants and especially to those receiving honorable mention as their ads were very good and original. Mr. Cartmell, Treasurer of O.W.U., showed great surprise and pleasure when he opened the pile of advertisements and found one hundred and twenty- seven. He stated that what he thought was a charit- able piece of work turned out to be a very paying proposition as he received much valuable material and gained an idea of what the pupils of the High School thought of the University. To make the contest absolutely fair to all contest- ants, Mr. Cartmell took a great deal of pains to go over all the "ads" and paste slips of paper over the names and number them. They were then handed to the judges with just the number on them. In this way no one can criticize the decision given by the judges. The contest was a decided success.

Lucile--"Oh, mamma! If you won't do it I'll pray to God to forgive me and I'll never do it again." Allan Long had a calf which he played with and talked to just as he would to another boy. One day he was heard to exclaim: "Now, Ginger, if you don't stop right now and behave, I'll go in and tell ma." Christine Ruffner's grandfather, when she was a little girl, used to call her his "Little red-headed teas- er." After he had done this several times, Chris- tine said: "You just stop that. My hair isn't red, it's a beautiful golden brown." Her mother says it was the same color it is now. Chester Moran was riding with a neighbor when he was asked whether his little sister went to school. He replied: "She's too witty." Eli Long had a little girl friend who had a dimple in her cheek and whenever asked where she got it replied that Eli Long kissed her there. When this was mentioned he would cry: "Times have chang- ed." Fred Reid was in a hotel when a man spoke to his little brother: "Hello, Buster!" Fred, starting up pompously, "My name is Buster." Isabella Houk's mother had threatened to give her toys and John's to "Hattie's" girl, if they didn't play with them better. After awhile Isabella came in and lisped: "Oo take John a' div him to Hattie's girl. I'm froo wiv him." Raymond Kanaga's ambition when he was young was to play the bass drum in the Salvation Army. Ariel Steitz (after her vaccination)--"Oh, see, papa! The doctor 'sassinated me." Eugene Mayer, when asked what he was going to do when he grew up, replied: "Oh, I'm never going to work until my mother tells me too." Charlotte Malsbary had to be told on what foot her shoe belonged and if they didn't tell her what one the other belonged on, she would cry. Mother of Second Year Pupil to "Bulletin" report- er collecting childhood jokes--"Do you know 'Bus' Reid?" "Bulletin" Reporter--"Why, yes. How did you ever hear of him?" Mother--"Oh, I hear so much about him, and, real- ly, I get so tired of it." PIPER PASSAGES APPLIED AT RANDOM "I see no signs of famine hereabout." "I swallow- ed prodigies." --Thomson. "Come, you cherub-head."--John Shoemaker. "Am I to pay for all you city rats?" "He was a bad man."--Raymond Braumiller. "Think praise for once you have no tongue, and keep these magpies quiet." "If he be as fast with his hands, as he be slow of tongue."--Sidney Sheets. "And can he talk, too?"--Liebenderfer. "If you can only catch them while they're young!" --Lazear. "Oh, let me keep but one!" "Sword strong for his enchanted princess." "That would smack of pride." --Bob Eichhorn. "Three days of rest, Van Brimmer, you have had." --Ralph Van Brimmer. "Look to your laughter."--Mabel Gephardt. "The gentlest Devil ever spiked lost souls into Hell-mouth for nothing by the day."--Leo Wilson. "Two at a time, 'tis simpler."--Joy and Ruth. "He made a warbling like a nightingale."--Smith. "I do but rub my wits to think."--Reading (in Ger- man.) "No, heaven save us, I'd forgot about the dog. (nit)"--Kat McCabe.

PERVERTED PROVERBS A stitch in time saves too in the bush. A rolling stone gathers no moss, but it often ac- quires a fine polish. A fumbling short-stop and a leaky fountain-pen are an abomination unto the Lord. A convenient conscience is an ever-present help in time of trouble. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man a dod- dering idiot. All work and no play makes Jack a two-spot. Take a month off every month. It's ill-wind that blows nobody good, Wind's just fresh air, misunderstood. When the cat's away, the mice will play. Who wants an old cat, anyway? Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow. A bird in the hand gathers no moss. What is so rare as a day in June? A Chinaman with whiskers, of course. Nobody loves a fat man. Poor Mr. Vance. Be slow in choosing your socks, slower in chang- ing. Joy, temperance and repose, slam the door on the picture shows. SPRING FEVER. It's in the air, It's everywhere, And no one is immune; It's so contagious, It's quite outrageous, And bound to last 'till June. The teachers are sure There is a cure, If we'd only exert our wills. But that's what we lack, We can't get it back; This disease our energy kills. The symptoms are these-- We won't charge fees The facts of this case to confide-- Your mind won't obey, Your eyes seek to stray From your books to the sunshine outside. You begin to feel queer, You're all out of gear, Your grades, too, begin to look sick; But the birds won't stop calling, Your fatigue is appalling, So you give all your books one "swift kick.' So come to our aid, We're becoming afraid Of this fever, so dread and complete; If you don't come quite fast All help we'll be past, And our fate in the finals we'll meet! JUANITA ROBINSON, '16.

(describing Snydey Carton in English) --"He couldn't refrain from drinking wine even if there wasn't any around; he loved Lucie very well, very much, with all his heart." Teacher--"William, what are you laughing at?" Wm. Weible--"Nothing." Teacher--"Don't make a fool out of yourself by laugh- ing at nothing." Earl Lazear says love is the best feeling he ever had. Corinne O.--"Did he say anything dove-like about me?" Verna S.--"Yes, he said you were pigeon-toed." Miss Patterson--"Pauline, what makes you believe that Caesar was a great man?"

Second Junior--"That is to make a light so we can see it." First Soph.--"Did you ever see Homer when he wasn't laughing?" THE GIRL There is a girl in every school Who is the teacher's joy and tool She gets the grades we all desire, While we must wallow in the mire And take exams. She will not even wink or flirt; When she flunks, she's sick or hurt; She makes those little touching sobs And gets the teacher by those throbs, And opens up her heart. She studies hard; she reads a book While she is not fit to work or cook, But, with her weeping, sobbing tone, Lets mother do the work alone, And reads her book. But when she finds herself alone, She can no longer be a drone; 'Tis then she thinks that she will wed A perfect man to buy her bread, But ere' long takes in washing. --WALT. WMS., '16.

Description An account of the resource [page 73] [corresponds to page 71 of DHS Bulletin '15] DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN 71 SENIORS OF 1915 Forty and five months or nearly ago, I would mention the day but I'm sure you all know, How and when we as Freshmen, arrived on the scene, And changed things then dull, to a glorious green. We came as a blessing, and one we are sure, The History we've started can't help but endure. None guessed at the start how we'd rise up to fame, But since then, the high school has not been the same. There were classes before of the very same rank, But they all into dark, blank oblivion sank When we came to enliven, refresh, and make gay Everything, like a breeze on a hot summer day. Our history, though now just being begun, Is destined to be a magnificent one. The class as a whole has formed it 'till now, But it will not be stopped, when we've made our last bow. It will keep going on, though few class histories do, For ours is much different, and I'll cite a few Of the things we're expecting, from members to show, That I mean what I say, and I say what I know. Our President promises a pious career, As a passtor to people uncivilized clear. After he has been driven from this land of ours, He will change their whole lives, by his wonderful powers. Jeanette will pursue quite a different line, Perhaps because it pleased Tommy so fine. Besides knowing just how to talk, laugh, and look, She will master a more vital art, "How to Cook." In an asylum for mutes, are Smith's energies bent, For there he can gesture and talk 'till content. Bob will Hook a position, 'tis not known yet where, But you'll see him some day soaring up towards the air. A position of note is for Dewey in store, As correspondence agent for the Big Four. He will not be constrained by a limit or rule, And will owe his success to his practice in school. Mary Hills will conduct a confectioner's shop. And will finally marry a gallant young cop. Kat McCabe will have a sad end, but humane, While protecting her dog from an enemy's cane. Having fallen head-first in a pot of black dye, Which was luckily not quite a half a foot high, Amy Neff will appear as a witch of the night, Instead of as now, so angelically white. Besides these achievements which fit our grand class, Will be plenty of others, but I'll have to pass Over them very swift, to spare nerves and save ink. There'll be nurses and dudes and prizefighters, I think. Aviators, globe trotters, promoters, as well As inventors, musicians, and merchants to sell. And a few other trades that are practiced today, But not in the usual way, indeed nay. We will mourn with you all when we leave you in June, But you'll hear from us often, and hear from us soon. Our colors of purity and hope, white and green, On the hills and the fields everywhere will be seen. THE GREAT TOURNEY. There was a sound of revelry all day, And Edwards Gym. did never know till then Such a gathering of kids, and--strange to say-- The teachers came; all out to cheer our men. Five hundred hearts beat rapidly, and, when Bob rose and made us yell, The old gym. sent the echoes back again. A din began no living thing could quell. But hush! a shrill sound breaks forth like shrieking shrapnel! Did ye not hear it? No, 'twas but some blind And crazed rooter, with his whistle sharp as sleet. 'Twas not the referee! Let noise be unconfirmed! Stand up and get some "Pep," and stamp your feet. Don't worry 'bout sore throat. Just yell like Pete! But hark! That sound breaks on our ears once more! Now, yes! It is the referee! Turn on some heat! Now make it snappier, livelier than before. Rah, rah! Our team, our team! It is upon the floor. Now loud and strong each swelling "Hi! Hi!" rose, The war note of our school, which Vernon's boys Have heard, and, too, have our other foes, How in the midst of games this noble noise Has boomed. But as our aching throats with throes Are filled, so filled are they with courage to the toes. Our team, excelled by no one far or near, Their memory shall last from year to year, And Tommy's, Bus' fame, ring ever in our ear. For did they not bring glory to our school, This team of stars and untold vim? They won the victory with their courage cool And won renown which never more will dim. Ah! then our hearts were full unto the brim, When, big and bright, the Cup! It was bestowed In all its brilliancy, so tall and trim, While all the boys looked modest, even "Toad;" Then all our eyes with pride in our brave champions glowed. --JUANITA ROBINSON, '16.

Now we are engaged in a long wait, test- ing whether that cup so won and so dedicated, can ever be forgotten. We are met in the immediate vi- cinity of that cup. We have come to dedicate a back cupboard as a final resting place for that cup. It is altogether handier and easier that we do this. But in a more grateful thought we should not dedicate, we should not use this back cupboard. The brave players or rooters have protested far more than they have acted. The town will little note or long re- member how we yelled here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us of the grandstand to be dedicated to the task of rooting for those who play. It is for us, the lively, to be here dedicated to the great task that from these honored cups we keep the least vestige of tarnish for which they gave their dinners and deserts. That we here highly resolve that these cups shall not be hidden, that this school shall have an increased devotion for sports and that this victory of the students, for the students, by the students, shall not be lightly treated.

Bob 1902 D.H.S. 1907 The Smoke House 1908 The Allen 1915 "Watch Our Smoke" TITLE Said a father to his son, "You are having entirely too much fun! Now, for a week and maybe a day, You must study as much as the teachers say." "Father, have mercy! I beg of you! Anything but that I will gladly do." "Nay, and I'll add a little more: You must perform your duties as before." The lad sadly listened on the morrow, While each teacher told without a trace of sorrow That her study was one demanding work, And for ninety minutes he must study and never shirk. When he added it up and the sum was one-fourth of a day, He couldn't find one single kind word to say. He arrived home that night all out of breath, And rushed around as though pursued by death. One of his duties that night was a date. He arrived two hours early instead of late, Owing to his early beginning. In his run home at nine he made an inning; He fell to work without a pause To study English and the country's laws. The day was already old when he fell into bed, Because he had studied as much as the teachers said. Thus he performed this task too hard for Hercules, Studying for hours, why triangles are isoceles. The end of the time found him a changed lad, For only ten hours' sleep for a week had he had. His hands did shake, his cheeks were hollow, His father feared a collapse would follow. Although he was almost a nervous wreck, He gasped: "I'm through, by Heck!" He sank to sleep under the table, And to wake him for a month they were not able.

The Ford owner started out one morning to take friends into the country. After he had been going half an hour the machine stopped. He got out and pulled the dood-dad and still the Ford didn't move. Then he tried the whing-whang but the Ford re- mained silent. Finally he raised the hood. "By George," he said. "the repair shop man forgot to put in the engine." The car had run 12 miles on reputa- tion. At a lodge meeting one night an Irishman was calling the roll. Several were absent, and when an absent one's name was called there was always a murmur, people wondering where they were. At last, thoroughly exasperated, the Irishman called out: "Will those who aren't here please keep still." --Ex. One Sunday they missed Alta and at last found her in the chicken yard beating the chickens with a hockey stick and screaming: "I'll teach you to lay eggs in a preacher's family on Sunday."--Ex.

A man was standing on the steps of his stalled Ford and looking sadly at the engine, when a young farmer boy came along and said: "What's the mat- ter, lost your other skate?" "I must say the pen is mightier than the sword?" "How so?" "What the sword accomplishes the pen of the cen- sor strikes out."

Description An account of the resource [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Berlin Township Program of the Delaware County Historical Society] ABOUT THE SETTLERS The Cowgill Family History - as given by Ben R. Cowgill A widow named Ellen Stackhouse Cowgill came with her five children from Settle, Yorkshire, England, on the ship "Wel- come." They landed at Philadelphia in 1682. The first white family to settle in Berlin Township was that of George Cow- gill who came from Washington County, Pennsylvania in 1805. They arrived at their destination in the north east corner of the township, east of Alum Creek on August 15th, with no mark of the woodsman's axe or trace from Berkshire's Cor- ners. At Berkshire, they found a Mr. Root, surveyor in the employ of Colonel Bxybee, who could pilot them to their home site, where Mrs. Walt Potter now resides. This pioneer family brought with them salt, flour, powder and lead enough to last three or four years. There were 4 males in the family old enough to use a gun against the Indians. They moved from Pennsylvania in two wagons drawn by horses. After they crossed the Ohio River, they bought two cows to bring to their new home. They also had four guns and three dogs, two celebrated Buckinghams and one cur. Upon arrival, they immediately set to work and built a comfortable cabin and shelter for their horses and cows. They cleared the land around the buildings. This work was ingeneously done - there was a deep precipice north of the buildings. The trees were felled and cut in lengths so that one team of horses could haul them to the edge of the bank of the deep ravine. Then they were rolled into the run below. They cleared 3 acres of land in time to sow wheat with the seed they brought. This new soil produced a fine crop at harvest time in 1806. They cleared some 10 or 12 acres by spring of 1807. The Lewis Pioneers - prepared by Emma Lewis Ryant and read by John Ryant. Hannah Lewis Caswell was a child of three when her parents came to Berlin Twp. from Connecticut. The first generation, John Lewis came from Sandwich, England in 1635 on the ship Hercules. Captain John of the fourth generation had three children who came to Ohio, John Lewis, Alanson Lewis and Sarah Lewis, wife of Nathan Sherwood. David of the fifth generation came to Ohio with his five sons and two daughters in 1805. He died in Berlin Twp. in 1831 at the age of 75 years. Of the sixth generation, Hannah, daughter of David Lewis, Sr., was born October 20, 1802. She married Wilbur Caswell in Title A name given to the resource Berlin Township Program of the Delaware County Historical Society (p. 3) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f6263a941f4b1e867407a44449a55c03.jpg 7ad73c0fae4c06067dd99962e3e21cb2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mr. Caswell was a teacher and Aunt Hannah and Miss Lotia Dickerman were among his pupils. Aunt Hannah's brothers and sisters were, Patty, Rosetta, David, Jr., Sylves- ter, Betsey, Isaac, Chester, Joseph, Sylvia, John, Hannah and Warren. All lived in Berlin Twp. but Rosetta. David, Jr., born 1778, married Almira Caulkins in Connecticut in 1802 and they came to Ohio in 1805. He died in 1860. Almira, born 1782, died 1878 on the farm where she had lived over 73 years. Betsey, born 1782, died 1875. She came to Ohio with her father. She filled her underbed with the dry leaves of the forest and when relating it to me, she said: "I was never happier in my life." She married John Johnson in 1809, the first marriage in Berlin. Joseph, my father, was born June 10, 1778 in Waterbury, Connecticut. He married Sarah Sherwood in 1813. He was a soldier in the War of 1812 and built the first mill for grinding wheat and corn in the township. When they first went to housekeeping in 1813 near the mill, their nearest neighbor was three miles away. Judge Joseph Constant gave David Lewis, Sr., a deed for 80 acres of land on condition that he would settle on it. With a few household goods, rifles, ammunition, flint and tinder box packed in one wagon, with three women and little Hannah, David, Sr., his sons and Alanson his nephew, they started west in August. On reaching the Blue Ridge it was necessary to lighten the load. The men and women carried guns and bundles all the way over the mountains. Crossing the Ohio, they came through Zanesville and Granville, then through the forest with only a pocket compass to guide them. Upon reach- ing Berkshire, they left the women and wagons and the men went on to Alum Creek and surveyed their site with the com- pass and a bed cord. They built their cabin and moved into it the next day. It had no floor, doors or windows. The next spring they made troughts to hold the sap and made over 200 pounds of maple sugar in one iron pot and one frying pan. Venison and turkey was abundant. There was a lack of salt, leather and cooking utensils. The markets were at Zanesville and Chillicothe. The Indians added terror, so a blockhouse was built near where Mr. Saunders now resides. The roof was made from shingles split from the trunks of trees and nailed on with wrought nails made by Nathan Sherwood (my grandfather) in his blacksmith shop. Aunt Hannah can re- member sleeping at the blockhouse. It was used after the war as a church and school. I attended my first school there. The post office was at Berkshire. I have several old letters written from 1812 to 1825 on which the postage was 25? and one that needed 50?.

Description An account of the resource [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Berlin Township Program of the Delaware County Historical Society] The Dickerman Family - as given by Lurie Janes Scott The Dickerman family came from Connecticut in 1815. Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe were in the Dick- erman line a few generations before. The Dickermans set- tled on the farm south of Cheshire where the South Berlin Presbyterian Church now stands. Uncle Benoni Dickerman had a station on the Underground Railroad at the time of the Civil War and helped many people to reach Canada. The Janes family came from Vermont two or three years after the Dickermans came and settled a mile south of them. Harry Janes (my grandfather) married the oldest Dickerman daughter, Elizabeth Alma. My father, Daniel Janes, was born in 1837 in a cabin and lived all of his life on that farm. He died in 1907. In 1840, his father built the large frame house which still stands there. The siding of the house is black walnut. The rooms are all finished with black walnut. The house had black walnut shingles. After I can remember there was a new roof of black walnut shingles put on. These trees grew on that farm. I was born in that house and lived there until I was 23 years old when I married Lyman Scott and went to live on the Peachblow Road. . . . . The original name was spelled Janes. I can well remember when the family began to put the "Y" in the name. When the Janes family came to Ohio, the grandmother, Anna Hawkins Janes, came with the family. She was the widow of the Revolution- ary soldier, Lieut. Elijah Janes, whose records enable me to belong to the Daughters of the American Revolution. She lived to be 100 years old and 8 months and is buried in the old Blockhouse Cemetery. The grandmother of Elijah, Hannah Janes, was captured by the Indians May 13, 1704. Two of her children were killed and she and her infant were carried away. The baby was dashed against the doorpost to free the captive mother of the burden that would impede travel. The Indians decided to scalp her to avoid being overtaken by white avengers. She was then knocked on the head and scalped and left for dead. She was found later by whites sitting up and stroking the blood on her forehead. With much care, she recovered and lived to be over 80 and had descendents more numerous than any of the other of the three Janes lines. . . .I have lived in Berlin Twp. 84 years. As far as I know there is only one other person who has lived in Berlin as long as I have - that is Charlie Hall who has lived here 3 or 4 months longer. . . My mother was Sarah Adams who was born in Berkshire Twp. Her father was Reverend Bartholomew Adams, a Freewill Baptist, who preached over 100 years ago in what is now the Berlin Town House. It was built in 1824 for a Baptist Church.

May was born in Delaware, Ohio, in 1820. I believe his father's given name was Walter. He was of a family of three boys and two girls. (One brother lives in Delaware, but the others have moved west.) Obidah married Mary Vining who was born in the same house as President Hayes on East William Street, May 5, 1828. They had five children, Bernice, Olive, Elim (who was my father) James and Willie. Bernice married David Winship and moved to Illinois. They had six children, all living now in Illinois. Elim married Josephine E. Thrall, daughter of Arza and Mary Chandler Thrall. To this union came two children who live in Columbus, Ohio, and myself, Ethel, whose home is on Route 36. Olive, James and Willie died while quite young. . . . Grandfather May lived in the vicinity of Alum Creek where he had purchased land from Harlock Dunham in 1848. Dunham was a blacksmith and my father used the same shop which was torn down last year (1948) to make way for the new road. In 1860, religious meet- ings were held at the home of my grandfather until a building was built on land given by him and Nathaniel Roloson. This church was known as the North Berlin U.B. Church. . . . . Grandfather May served in the Civil War under Captain Fresh- water, Company 26, 145th Reg. Also, Grandfather Thrall served in the war, but we do not have his company and regi- ment. Both are buried in the Cheshire Cemetery, as are my parents. The Ridgeway Family - as given by Bessie Ryant Perfect Isaac Ridgeway, Jr., was a soldier in the War of 1812. He married Martha Stevens and settled on a farm in Putnam Co. New York. He died leaving his widow and three children, George, Cornelia and Eliza Jane. Five years later, a Mr. Adams of Delaware County married the widow and brought the entire family to Ohio in 1836. The snow was five feet deep on the level. The first day they crossed the Hudson River at Newburg and continued several days without mishap. Just as they were crossing a small lake, Cornelia would not ride on the sled, but walked across. She was nearly across, when her brother frightened her and she fell. She got her clothese all wet, but they continued a quarter of a mile, with her clothese frozen stiff. They stopped at a tavern, and next day, Cornelias was as lively as ever. They bought candy and gingerbread at a grocery. They went to Wooster by wagon and then continued to Sunbury. They finally arrived at Saunder's Corners in Berlin Twp. the end of the sixth day of March, having been on the road for 32 days. Their first meal was potatoes dug from the garden. The winter had been so mild that the potatoes had not frozen.

Description An account of the resource [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Berlin Township Program of the Delaware County Historical Society] The Ryant Family - as fiven by Mrs. Otis Perfect Perhaps no other family has lived on the same farm and tilled the same soil for a longer period than the Ryant family. To tell of their lives over a 150 year span in some five min- utes will take some rapid talking and omitting of details. In 1790, the first person living in Berlin Twp. by the name of Ryant was my grandfather, John Ryant. He was an only child, born on November 25, 1796. His parents died in his infancy and he was reared and brought to Ohio by the Nettletons when they migrated from New Haven, Connecticut. He served in the war of 1812, and then in 1827, the records of Delaware Co. show he bought of Florilla Lewis a U.S. land grand of 35 acres for the sum of $150.00 being about $4.28 an acre. This was the beginning of the Ryant farm which was owned by his des- cendants for 120 years. He was married to Love Nettleton, January 1, 1822. A cabin was built in the woods, 1/4 mile south of Cheshire and nearly a mile back from what is now the Cheshire-Westerville Road. Here seven of their ten children were born- four sons and six daughters. Three died while yet children. A few years later a brick kiln was built on the land just south of the Cheshire school and bricks were made for the beginning of the present brick structure near the first, the first story being of the original bricks. Here in this house, the 3 youngest children were born, Harriet, Leonora Isadore, Florence LeDoyt. . . . Before the Civil War, my grandfather was much interested in the escape of runaway slaves from the south over the Underground Rail- way which route passed directly in front of his house. Just 1/2 mile south across where the Presbyterian Church now stands, was the home of Benoni Dickerman whose home was the daylight shelter for the slave on his way across Ohio to Canada. . . . For over 150 years, the Ryants have been active in the religious, political, historical and patriotic affairs of Berlin Twp. Levins Rices was a merchant and postmaster in Cheshire. James Corbin was County Commissioner of Delaware County. Florence LeDoyt served in the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, marching with General Sherman from Atlanta to the sea. Lenora Isadore was the instigator of the Decoration Day services that for so many years have been a memorial to the soldier dead lying in the Cheshire Cemetery. . . . Some nationally known ancesters are Sarah Jane Hale, editor of Godey's Ladies Book in 1860, the fashion magazine of that time, whose printed editorials and direct contact with President Lincoln brought about the national observance of Thanksgiving. General Alluard B. Nettleton, another cousin, was born in Berlin Twp. and was assistant treasurer of the U.S. Eugene Dyer, grandson of James Ryant, has become head of the department of typhus investigation in the National Title A name given to the resource Berlin Township Program of the Delaware County Historical Society (p. 7) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/55968efe0f3501cdf79b89d57464722a.jpg 54c17876400047cbfe5665328c597008 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Today, two male lineal de- descendants bearing the name of Ryant are John Ryant who still owns a few acres of the original farm and is known as a breeder of fine Merinos, and Wayland Florence, grandson of the first John, who, until 3 years ago, lived in the original homestead and was owner and operator of the Ryant fruit farm. The Emerson and Sackett Families - as given by Maude Emerson Cottrill Luke Emerson came to Berlin Twp. in 1823. He purchased the farm on the Curve Road and built a log house which still stands opposite the E. P. Roloson home. Luke had four sons, one of whom was Silas, my grandfather; and Joseph, the grandfather of the late Alfred Emerson of Delaware, Ohio. . . . When Luke's sons were old enough to help him, they burned the brick and built the home in which E. P. Roloson's widow now lives (1949). Luke's wife was Mary Stacy, the granddaughter of Colonel William Stacy, one of the founders of Marietta and also the foreman of the first grand jury in Ohio. Both Luke and Mary are buried in the cemetery by the Berlin Twp. Hall. Luke's son, Silas lived in the log house. He married Nancy Ann Faris and they had five children, Edward F., who kept the store at Berlin for many years (having pur- chased it from George Gregg in 1880); Wilber, my father; Anna, who married George Sackett; Ella, the teacher. All attended the old Curve School. . . Silas went about the country on horseback and got up his own company of which he was the Captain, when Lincoln called for troops. . He died in the army in 1865. Wilber took over the warm, and I, too, was born in the log house. Three generations came to life tehre. . . I have a ledger which Captain Silas Emerson kept from 1850 to 1865. Very interesting notations include: Received $1.50 a week for board, room and washing for his brother Asa; 30? premium from the Delaware Bank on $40.00 gold; 75? for one hog; paid 37 1/2? for one day of farm labor. Some of the names men- tioned are Sackett, Shaw, Faris, Roloson and Maxwell . . . I have all of the record books of the Emerson store at Berlin. Prices show coal oil at 8 cents; coffee 10 cents; farm work h hats for 25 cents, etc. Ed Emerson paid Emma Gregg $2.50 per week for board, room and washing. Augstine Sackett and wife came to Berlin Twp. in 1820 and in 1830 built the home on the Curve Road. George was raised there and his son Howard's widow lives there now. . George was a very prominent and prosperous citizen. He served in the state legislature and was county sheriff. . The Sacketts came to Massachusetts in 1630. . . . This branch of Emersons are descendents of Thomas E. of Ipswich, Massachusetts. Among them are Ralph Waldo Emerson, Wendell Phillips, Phillips Brooks and the mother of William Howard Taft.

Whittier P. E. Whittier met and became engaged to Mary P. Tufts of Farmington, Maine. The gold rush was on at that time and he decided to go to California. He acquired some with moderate success. While there he was drafted to go against the Indians. In going to California, he went from the Isthmus of Panama by boat, had to walk across the Isthmus (30 miles) and then on by boat to California. He was there for 9 years. When he re- turned there was a railroad across the Isthmus, 1863. They were married soon after his return. Mary had put in part of her time teaching school at $6.00 a month and boarded around according to the number of scholars each family had. They came to Ohio in 1866 and purchased the farm we now live on. They paid $3200.00 for 112 1/2 acres. to Theodore and John Lewis. On the place were two small houses and two log barns. . . Father started a Sunday School, and occasionally preached. He and mother were Freewill Baptists. To this marriage five children were born; Mary Emma, Willia Francis, Winifred Parker, Julia Alice and Sarah Ellen. The girls all taught school at $20.00 to $30.00 a month. Alice changed to nursing and died in the service in Los Angeles, Calif., in 1945. Frank owned and ran the Sunbury News for several years and was also mayor of Sunbury. He was county sur- veyer for two terms and died January 31, 1941 in Columbus. Fred stayed and worked on the home place for board and $15.00 a month. He married Edith H. Ferson, December 25, 1899, then bought out the other heirs and has managed the home for 51 years all told. Two daughters were born to this union; Mary Louise and Doris Edith. At the time day labor was $1.00 a day for ten hours' work. Twenty years later the girls both taught school for $125.00 a month. W. P. Whittier was manager of the Delaware Co. Telephone Co. from 1905 to 1914. The Berlin Centralized school petition was started by Ed Irwin and W. P. Whittier. . . When our folks came from Maine in 1866 and located here, the place was called Jacktown. There had been 11 houses and a potash- ery. Dr. Clapp had the post office; Lewis kept tavern; Preacher Thompson had one of the Underground Stations. He said his wife's poke bonnet and green skirt had been worn as a disguise by many a negro on his way north. The wooden bridge across Alum Creek by the Seymour Jaynes place was built about 1874 on the lot line between Wesley Stuart and the Waterfields. The road from the west came diagonally across the bottom land to the ford just south of the bridge. The main road went north through the farms of John Valentine, Hubert Jaynes and Leonard Hitchcock (who had a saw mill run by water power) then forded the river and went north on the east bank of Alum Creek to the lot lines of Benoni Dickerman and Joseph Irwin, thence east to the Presbyterian Church.

William Manter was born in 1818 and came from Connecticut to Ohio. He settled back of the schoolhouse on the Peach- blow Road. He married Susan Stanton and they had three sons and two daughters. One child died in infancy, one son died in the Civil War - his name was Frank. The others were Sealy, William, Frances and Selia. He later bought the farm that is now owned by Will Scott. Later, he moved to a farm south of Galena where he died in 1895. . . When he came to Ohio, it was all timber in this part of the country, the road was blazed on the trees. William had four brothers, but we do not know their names or where they lived. The Dunham Family - as given by James Dunham The Dunham genealogy may be traced back to Rychert Dunham, born 1294, a Spanish adventurer in England. The tenth gen- eration is represented by Deacon John Dunham, born 1588 in Scrooby. He came to Plymouth on the Mayflower. The origi- nal 1807 Dunham lands were in Berkshire Twp. The sixteenth generation under Jeremiah Dunham, a son of Harlock born 1814, died 1843. He married Amanda Blodgett and they lived in Berlin Twp. After his death, she married John Peacock, a weaver from Boston, Massachusetts. . . . Oscar Dunham, the son of Jeremiah, was born 1842 and died 1913. He is buried in the Cheshire Cemetery. He married Mary May. They had four children: Alverdo, Albert, Inez (married Philip Shade) and Matoka (married William Foster). The eighteenth generation was Alverdo Dunham, born October 3, in Berlin Twp. He married Alice Dunham. Alverdo ('Do') Dunham's children are Audrey, Inez, James, Earl and Neil. The Lackey Family - as given by Ethel Lackey Plunkett The first Ohio settlers of the Lackey family were Alexander and Martha Hart Lackey, who came from Carlisle, Penna. in 1830.

This country was a real wilderness then. Thomas lived with his parents in Franklin Co. until 1857, when he and his wife, Catherine Schanck Lackey and their two sons (William Lewis, 2 1/2 years old and Edson Bird- sell, 6 months) made the tiresome trip in big wagons. David and Edith were born in Berlin Twp. At the age of four, Edson died and he is buried in the Cheshire Blockhouse Ceme- tery. William Lewis and David lived on adjoining farms. . Thomas was the first in the community to own a two horse mowing machine, a grain reaper and a left hand walking plow. He died in January 1905. His home was a plain, modest, Christian one where his neighbors and friends were always welcome. He shared all church and community res- ponsibilities. After his death, 8 acres of his farm were sold to the Berlin Board of Education as the site for the present centralized school building. The country store played its part in community life of this period. Thomas often took produce to the Samuel Nash coun- try store at Tanktown or West Berlin and exchanged it for the supplied he needed. The records of the store show that Thomas took nine pounds of butter there and got ninety cents for it. Among the items he took in exchange for it were - coffee at 15? per pound; saleratus at 10? and 4 yards of cotton at 40?. . . In 1857, Thomas and Alfred Lackey joined the Cheshire Methodist Church which had been built 9 years before. Thomas hauled the new bell from the West Berlin Railroad Station. He was a member of the official board and a trustee until his death. . . A petition for a new road from Cheshire Street through Cheshire was circulated by David Lackey, Jacob Longnecker, Thomas Griffith, Fawn Ryant and C. J. Slough. . . All of the first and second generation are gone except Edith Hanna of Columbus and all but three are buried in the Cheshire Cemetery. . . . In his humble, modest and sincere way of living, Thomas Jefferson Lackey laid a priceless foundation and gave a great heritage for the future descendents of his family. The Freshwater Family - as given by Ethel Freshwater Patton Archibald Freshwater married Lydia Lorena Tuller, August 8, 1844. They had three sons, Arkison, Benjamin Franklin and Julius Homer ("Duke") and an adopted daughter, Ella Perry. He bought a tract of land a mile west of Tanktown, built a log cabin and moved his family there in 1857. He cleared the land, built rail fences and later the 1 1/2 story house east of the log cabin.. . . . Arkison ran off to war and was on Sherman's March to the Sea. He was a sergeant. Archibold was called into the 100 days' service and made a Captain.

Both Frank and Duke received their early education at the West Berlin School. Later Frank entered Ohio Wesleyan where he graduated in the classical course in 1877. He then studied law under Carper and VanDeman and was admitted to the bar, June 2, 1885. He opened a law office in Delaware in 1885. He taught school at West Berlin and here he married Nell Elouise Babcock in 1889. He had two sons and two daughters. He was a member of the firm of Freshwater, Marriott and Wickham; was probate judge for 2 terms; member of Hiram Lodge; K. of P. and B. P. O. E. . .

Harry Rutherford, Ernest Blaine and Ida May were born at Berlin. He lived in the log cabin on the farm and on land east of the old farm. At the time of his death, he was living in Delaware. After Duke's marriage to Amanda Freshwater 1884, he bought land just across the road from the home place. Their child- ren, Ethel Lorena, OtaMarie and Lulu Blanche were born here. Amanda taught school at one time in Berlin, as did her daughters, Ethel and Blanche. . Duke and Amanda moved to Delaware in 1916. Amanda was 90 years old on March 20, 1949. They lived in Berlin Twp. about 33 years. The Hoadleys and Caulkins Families - The early history of Berlin Twp. would not be complete without the names of the Hoadleys and Caulkins families. These families were attracted by the fertility of the soil and so constituted another wave of migration from the less fertile regions of Connecti- cut.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to page 1 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] welcome to delaware Delaware is growing fast, but like a fine racing standardbred, it is keeping its head as it quickens the pace. At 20,000, the city's population is already ahead of projections from the early '70's. A recent study predicts 26,000 residents within the next eight to ten years. The Ohio Depart- ment of Economic and Community Development has predicted a population boom of 63.2 percent for the county by the year 2000, one of the fastest projected growth rates in the state. Delaware still offers the best of both worlds . . . quiet tree-lined streets and friendly faces and modern services of a small city and the convenience of a major city, Columbus, only thirty minutes away. Citizens and public officials are working to keep the features that have made Delaware attractive to its long-time residents. Hundred-year-old homes find appreciative owners and diligent restorers, but new homes and apartment complexes are also springing up in many sections of town. Consultants have been retained to guide the city in the development of new residential areas and expanding services. Several features make Delaware unique: its central location with accessibility to major highways, the cultural enrichment afforded by Ohio Wesleyan University and the excitement of Grand Circuit Harness Racing in the Little Brown Jug, one of the sport's biggest events. Delaware is also in a growing recreation area, with water sports available on nearby rivers and at the four reservoir watershed lakes in the county. There's a strong sense of history in Delaware, which traces its beginnings to the opening of the Northwest Territory and claims among its native sons the United States' nineteenth president, Rutherford B. Hayes. But there is also a strong belief in the future. We hope this book will bring you to believe in Delaware as we do.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 2 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] our heritage In 1801 the first pioneers settled in an area which was still occupied by the Delaware Indians. Maps from the middle of the 18th Century show that Mingoes and other tribes had pre-Revolutionary settlements along a trail from the lower Scioto Valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. Hundreds of years earlier, the Mound Builders inhabited this area leaving behind several mounds in Delaware County. Delaware County was formed in a division of Franklin County in 1808, the same year the city of Delaware was founded. Immediately the county seat, Delaware was seriously considered for the state capital before Columbus was selected. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as headquarters for General William Henry Harrison. A few of Harrison's soldiers are buried in area cemeteries. With the Treaty of Greenville in 1814, Indians left the area and settlers poured in. Among these settlers were the parents of Rutherford B. Hayes. Born in Delaware in 1822, Hayes served as a general in the Civil War, governor of Ohio, and nineteenth president of the United States. Hayes met his wife, Lucy Webb Hayes, when she came to Delaware as a special student at Ohio Wesleyan University in the days before it was officially coeducational. Ohio Wesleyan University was founded in 1842. Its first building was the Mansion House, a health resort built near a medicinal springs in 1833. The resort, billed as the "Saratoga of the West", failed after the Panic of 1837 and was purchased by Methodists seeking to establish a liberal arts college. The Mansion House, now called Elliott Hall, is still in use at Ohio Wesleyan and is one of three campus buildings listed in the National Registry.

The local government and citizenry work closely to meet these challenges.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 4 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] community services Delaware's city government is a council-manager system with seven members serving four-year overlapping terms. They work with an annual budget in excess of $3 million, drawn mostly from the city's modest income tax and 3 mill portion of the overall 39 mills per dollar valuation real estate tax. Delaware County government is headed by a three-member Board of Commissioners serving four-year terms, assisted by a full-time County Administrator. The county's $4.6 million budget includes $1.5 million for construction and maintenance of an extensive county road system totaling nearly 500 miles. General Fund revenues are derived from a 2.9 mill real estate tax, fees for various services performed and the 1/2 of 1 per cent permissive sales tax. Diversified industry, agriculture, and retail and service establishments provide a wide range of job opportunities in Delaware County. The local level of unemployment is consistently among the lowest in the nation. The city's water and sewage system has recently been expanded to meet growing needs. The Delaware Reservoir will provide the city with an adequate water supply well into the future. A county water system already exists and a countywide sewer system for the southern part of the county is under construction. Delaware's access to major highways is one of its greatest assets. Four-lane US 23 South makes a half-hour commute for the many Delaware residents who work in northern Columbus; US 36 and 37 provide four-lane access to Interstate 71. Delaware's location midway between Cleveland and Cincinnati (each is approximately 140 miles away) and its proximity to Columbus have made it a convenient choice as home for sales representatives. Delaware County is rated territory 39, which allows residents the most reasonable automobile insurance rate in Ohio. The City of Delaware has a Class 4 fire rating by the Ohio Rating Bureau, recognizing the protection of all areas of the city by a well- trained, well-equipped fire depart- ment. The department also carries on an extensive fire training pro- gram in all industrial plants in the city as well as safety programs in the schools.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to page 5 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] Community leaders and organizations work hard to keep all services -- security, medical, welfare, transportation and education -- first-rate and up-to-date. In Delaware County 38 volunteer and governmental agencies offer a variety of health and welfare services to all citizens. The Unit- ed Way provides partial or total funding for these 14 agencies: Alcohol Council, American Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Council for Retarded Citizens, Dental Fund, Girl Scouts, Help Anonymous, Homemaker Home Health Aide Services, Liberty Community Center and Liberty Community Children's Center, Mental Health Association, Salvation Army, Senior Citizens, Speech and Hearing Center, and United Way Community Services. Because Delaware County responds generously to Red Cross blood drives, credit for blood is available to the immediate families of Delaware County residents anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. In this and many other ways the Red Cross helps more than 9000 city and county residents each year. The Salvation Army Camp at Greenwood Lake on the northern edge of town offers a summer camp program reaching more than 1,000 low-income children in central Ohio. Among other local service agencies are the Cancer Society and Heart Fund; both are very active in the city and on the Ohio Wesleyan campus. Many national and international service, community and patriotic organizations are active in Delaware, including Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, Jaycees, Sertoma, Altrusa, National Association of Secretaries, American Association of University Women, League of Women Voters and Business and Professional Women, to name just a few. Veterans' groups include the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Amvets, Veterans of WWI and their auxiliaries. The DAR, Colonial Dames and the Daughters of Union Veterans also have local clubs. A listing of all civic, social and service clubs in the county is available in the United Way Office. The services of the Delaware County District Library extend far beyond its downtown building housing 61,000 volumes. Young children learn to enjoy books through weekly story hours and the Bookmobile covers almost 4,000 county miles each year serving outlying areas. The Library's collection includes more than 100 magazine subscriptions, records, films and items of local history and genealogy. Providing newspaper coverage of Delaware and the surrounding area is the Delaware Gazette, founded in 1818 and published daily since 1884, and the Sunbury News. Citizens also can receive home delivery of the Columbus and Cleveland papers, and other major city papers are available through newsstands. Local radio stations are WDLR and during the school year, Ohio Wesleyan's station, WSLN. All Columbus metropolitan radio stations, three network television stations and one UHF station, Ohio State's WOSU, offer excellent reception. Cable television is available in the city for a small charge.

Grady Memorial Hospital, a non-profit, short term, general medical/surgical facility, is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and is a member in good standing of the American Hospital Association and the Ohio Hospital Association. Grady has 130 beds and provides medical, surgical, pediatric, full maternity, coronary and emergency care. An addition was completed in 1976 with emphasis on ancillary services and outpatient care. Typical ancillary services are laboratory, x-ray, physical therapy, operating room, cardio- pulmonary, chemotherapy room, EKG, EEG, recovery room, pharmacy and outpatient clinics. There are 28 active physicians; 23 consulting physicians, both generalists and specialists, and 14 dentists in practice in the area. Other specialists maintain special weekly hours in Delaware. Way House, a tri-county medical health center, offers outpatient psychological and psychiatric care. Ten additional health facilities, including the hospitals associated with the Ohio State University Schools of Medicine, are located within a 30 mile radius. Paramedics from the Delaware City Fire Department and the county emergency medical service provide emergency treatment and ambulance service.

The Delaware Christian School operates from the Delaware Bible Church. There are Jewish synagogues in Columbus and Marion and a Unitarian church in northern Columbus. Many Delaware churches trace their origins to the town's earliest years. First Presbyterian Church, organized in 1810, and St. Peter's Episcopal, 1817, the city's two oldest, continue to meet in buildings that date from the mid-1800s. Just a block away, William Street United Methodist Church, which began in 1818, occupies its fourth sanctuary, a new building completed in 1973. An active county ministerial alliance and Church Women United carry out community service programs that extend across denominational lines. All of Delaware's churches have vigorous youth organizations.

In addition to its beautiful, older homes, Delaware also has many newer residential areas in all sections of the city and county. Real estate has maintained its market value over the years as pride of ownership in the area is great. Homes range from $35,000 to over $100,000 depending on location and condition. Apartments in Delaware are abundant and varied. There are many newer apartment units and twin singles and some older, large homes converted into apartments with rentals varying from $125 to $300 per month depending on size, location, facilities and other factors. Single family homes for rent are difficult but not impossible to find. Condominium units, from $25,000 to $40,000, represent care-free living as far as exterior maintenance is concerned. Two local condominium areas offer swimming pools and tennis courts. Homes, apartments and condominiums are almost always in the planning stages in the area.

Description An account of the resource [page 13] [corresponds to page 10 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] education Educational opportunities in Delaware County area run the full range from pre-kindergarten through graduate school: city and county public schools, a parochial school, a vocational school, a school for retarded children, a sheltered workshop for retarded adults, Ohio Wesleyan University and The Methodist Theological School in Ohio. The Delaware city schools, serving about 3800 pupils, rank in the top one-fourth in Ohio in enrollment and in the upper half in per pupil wealth. The school tax is just above the state median and includes a building levy which permits the system to make additions to building and improve older facilities without additional indebtedness. The last bond issue, in 1960 to finance Rutherford B. Hayes High School, will be paid by 1980. A four-quarter curriculum at the high school level, initiated in 1972 as the "Delaware Plan", is drawing national attention. It is designed around four 45-day terms and an optional summer term. The ACT scores of Hayes college- bound graduates have consistently been two full points above the national averages. At the middle school level (grades 6 to 8) team teaching, with "executive teachers" assisted by teacher interns, has been in effect for several years. Many entering children take advantage of the six-week pre- kindergarten summer program, operated without tuition on local funding. Delaware, among the first school systems in the state to offer a full program for the mentally impaired, also provides special classes for the neurologically handicapped. Deaf, blind, and crippled children attend special classes in Columbus at the expense of the Delaware City Board of Education. An enrichment program is available for specially gifted and talented pupils. The Delaware school system is staffed by 204 professional persons, more than half with ten years or more of experience, and more than 30 percent with master's degrees. About half of Delaware's high school graduates go on to college. St. Mary's School, adjoining the Catholic church in downtown Delaware, serves 300 pupils from the city and county. It offers grades one through eight with a faculty of 12, including a full- time reading specialist.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 11 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] Surrounding the Delaware school district is the three-district area served by the county schools: Buckeye Valley (north and west), Big Walnut (southeast) and Olentangy (south). Included in these districts are three high, two middle and eight elementary schools with a combined faculty of 324. Each district is administered by its own Board of Education. In 1974 the City and County Boards established a Joint Vocational School. Offerings now include agriculture, business office education, distributive education, home economics, health care and trade and industrial education include auto mechanics and cosmetology. The JVS serves not only high school age students, but also offers many courses to adults, as well. Adult courses are designed to meet specific and immediate employment needs. Industries are urged to contact the JVS to establish such cooperative programs. Ohio Wesleyan is a liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2200 students and a faculty of over 160. The University employs 500 persons with a payroll of more than $5.5 million, most of which goes directly into the Delaware area economy. In addition, the University spends nearly $1 million annually for utilities. The new Ohio Wesleyan Riverside School of Nursing has upperclass students taking clinical work at various area hospitals including Grady Memorial Hospital in Delaware. Many of the facilities on the University's 200-acre campus are open to use by townspeople. The 340,000-volume Beeghly Library, for example, is one of the finest college collections in the country. The University's large outdoor tennis facility is also open to the public when classes or meets are not being held. Ohio Wesleyan's faculty and students are active participants in community programs from ecological studies to blood donation drives. Hundreds of its alumni return to the campus each year for reunions and special events and many have chosen Delaware for their retirement homes. A comparative newcomer to Delaware, The Methodist Theological School began classes in 1960. Its beautiful 69-acre campus is in the rolling, wooded countryside just south of town. Approximately 250 students attend the seminary. A faculty of 26 directs the studies leading to Master of Divinity, M.A. in religious education, and (in cooperation with other seminaries and universities), the Doctor of Ministry degrees.

Description An account of the resource [page 15] [corresponds to page 12 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] special events Horse races and chamber orchestras, Broadway musicals and marching bands, country fairs and foreign movies . . . all are a part of the Delaware scene. Racing fever soars each September with the opening of the Delaware County Fair, the only county fair in the world to offer Grand Circuit Harness Racing. The one-half mile dirt track on the fairgrounds was designed by a local long-time resident, R.K. McNamara, and is among the fastest in the country. New records are set each year. The highlight of the four days of racing is the running of the Little Brown Jug, one of the nation's top three harness races with a purse of $150,000. Named for an outstanding pacer of an earlier day, the "Jug" regulary draws crowds of more than 40,000 from all over the United States and Canada. An annual August attraction is the Ohio State Fair, one of the nation's biggest. Each year outstanding performers and exhibitors take part in shows that bring thousands of visitors to the fairgrounds just off Interstate 71 in northern Columbus. Throughout the year its buildings host antique shows, flower shows, automobile displays, ethnic celebrations such as Oktoberfest and professional craft shows like Winterfare. Each spring Delaware holds its own crafts show, the Delaware Arts Fair. Craftsmen come from all over the state to display their work before appreciative crowds lining Sandusky and Winter Streets. For those who love classical music, Ohio Wesleyan's Lecture-Artist Series brings noted concert- artists to Gray Chapel Auditorium each year. In addition, there are numerous recitals and concerts by local musicians, many with no admission fee. For fans of contemporary music, the OWU major attractions brings at least three big name shows to Delaware each year. Newsworthy public figures also appear in Delaware as a part of the Lecture-Artist Series and other special events on campus. Theatre buffs may see productions ranging from Shakespeare to the avant garde at Ohio Wesleyan's new Chappelear Drama Center on its proscenium and arena stages. In recent summers, a town and gown season for family entertainment has been produced with townspeople of all ages in the casts. Area high schools have excellent music and theatre programs. Marching bands, choirs and large- cast musicals draw capacity crowds throughout the year in Delaware, high school students have formed a company called Sneaker Theatre which produces plays for children. Columbus, of course, schedules symphony concerts, Broadway touring companies and virtually all contemporary musical performers on national tour. The Cincinnati and Cleveland Orchestras and the Blossom Center Summer Festival (for music and ballet) are only two hours away. Each summer the Kenley Players present nationally- known artists in musical productions at Columbus' Veterans Memorial Auditorium. Other colleges theatre and musical productions are close by at Ohio State, Otterbein and Denison Universities. 12 Title A name given to the resource Welcome to Delaware, Ohio (1979) (p. 15) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/244365165a8d7edb16aea549dc9807a5.jpg 5edeed974def62c12dc114e0dfb7d143 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There are four large reservoirs, countless fishing streams and hunting areas, a wild life preserve, extensive camping facilities and team sport complexes. Within the city, there are two parks: Mingo Park and Blue Limestone. Both parks have baseball diamonds. Little League and adult softball competitions flourish during the spring and summer. Delaware also has a very active soccer education program. The recently completed Mingo Park Pool Complex is one of the finest facilities in the state. The complex also has an all-purpose room for recreation and community activities. There is a nine-hole par 3 municipal golf course within the city limits and six additional golf courses, including one private country club, in the immediate area. For tennis enthusiasts, there are the 12 outdoor courts and four indoor courts on the Ohio Wesleyan campus and five outdoor courts at Hayes High School. Most housing subdivisions also have tennis facilities and many have swimming pools. Just two miles north of town the City Waterworks Park provides for picnicking, fishing and primitive camping in an area adjacent to the Olentangy River. The 7,000-acre Delaware State Park six miles north of town has 214 Class A campsites (164 with electricity) and a large, free swimming beach on the Delaware Reservoir. Launching ramps are located on three sides of the lake for boating and water skiing with marina space for 220 boats available April through November. Each summer the Delaware Red Cross sponsors small crafts boating instruction at the park. The 5,000-acre wildlife area each of the lake has 50 stocked ponds and several hunting areas. Largest of Delaware County's reservoirs is one newly-completed at Alum Creek State Park in the center of the county. Boating fa- cilities have been installed and Class A campsites abound. Two other nearby lakes, Hoover Reser- voir and O'Shaughnessy Reservoir, are maintained by the Columbus Division of Parks. The Columbus Municipal Zoo adjoins O'Shaugh- nessy Reservoir on the Scioto River in Delaware County. Jack Nicklaus' famous Muirfield Village Golf Course, home of the presti- gious Memorial Tournament, is in the county near Dublin.

An Indian town and frontier village have been constructed to add to the enjoyment. Regular guided cave tours are operated daily during the summer. Football and basketball are the primary spectator sports in and around Delaware. Ohio Wesleyan University's Battling Bishops compete in the Ohio Athletic Conference; the Hayes High Pacers play in the Ohio Capital Conference, and the Buckeye Valley Barons, Olentangy Braves and Big Walnut Eagles participate in the Central Buckeye League. In Columbus the Ohio State University football Buckeyes, always at or near the top of the NCAA rankings, play home games in the 86,000-seat horseshoe stadium. Ohio State's basketball Bucks play at St. John Arena, also the site of the Ohio High School Basketball Championships. Ohio Wesleyan and Hayes High School have varsity swimming teams which use Pfeiffer Natatorium on the OWU campus. Both institutions also compete in basketball, track, tennis, golf, wrestling and soccer. In addition, Hayes has a gymnastics team and Wesleyan fields teams in lacrosse, sailing and rugby. The National Football League Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, the American League Indians and the National League Reds are easily accessible via Interstate 71. The Columbus Clippers, a fine new Triple A baseball franchise, play in refurbished Franklin County Stadium. In addition to the Grand Circuit racing and Little Brown Jug during the Delaware County Fair, there is harness racing at Scioto Downs and thoroughbred racing at Beulah Park, both near Columbus. The newly completed Branch Rickey Physical Education Center on the Ohio Wesleyan campus includes a gymnasium and field house. The center has year-round facilities for basketball, racquetball, tennis, running, weightlifting and swimming. Snow skiing is less than two hours away at Bellefontaine, Mansfield and Butler.

Description An account of the resource [page 19] [corresponds to page 16 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] industry Industry in the city has a long and diversified history from the grist and sawmills along the Olentangy River to the modern Industrial Park and the planned development of Center 42, an industrial site for light industry on Ohio Rt. 42 south of Delaware. Today over 50 manufacturers and processors range from racing sulkies to school buses. Industrial development took on new impetus in 1963 with the opening of the Industrial Park on the city's southwestern edge. Convenience of the Delaware Municipal Airport, with runways capable of handling company jets, was one attraction. The proximity of Port Columbus International Airport (one-half hour driving time) fulfills broader company transportation needs. By 1978, the Industrial Park had as occupants: PPG Industries, manufacturers of industrial and automotive coatings; Nippert Company, copper components; Trus Joist, roof and floor supports; Corco, Division of Western Kraft Paper, corrugated boxes; and Grumman Flxible Corporation, buses. About 275 acres remain for development in the Industrial Park. Center 42 has approximately 150 acres available for light manufacturers. Other industries in Delaware are: Ranco, producing automatic controls; J.G. Castings Operations, division of Dresser Industries, Inc., foundry equipment; Delo Screw Products; Sunray Stove Company, Glenwood Range Division of Caloric Corp. -- A Raytheon Company; Pennwalt Corporation, chemical specialties; Correct Manufacturing Corporation, producers of DIVCO Trucks and Sky-Workers; and Abex Corporation -- Denison Division, hydraulic pumps and motors. Other companies have chosen to locate on the highways which lead into Delaware. ITT North Electric Company has a research and engineering center south of Delaware. Western Auto operates a regional distribution center off US 42; the administrative office of Swan Hose, a division of Amerace Corporation, is located on US 23; Bry-Air and Nestle's are located in nearby Sunbury.

Description An account of the resource [page 21] [corresponds to page 18 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] agriculture Agriculture continues to be important to the local economy. Agriculture in Delaware County yields more than $36 million yearly. The 1974 Census of Agriculture reported 1,089 farms in the county. Trends show fewer livestock and dairy farms but more grain farms. In a recent census, 592 farm operators reported farming was their principal occupation. Land in farms was approximately 196,050 acres with 156,588 acres being cropland. The biggest local cash crop is soybeans, which makes up about one-third of the dollar total. Dairy products and cattle together account for about another one-third. Corn and hogs are also significant parts of county agricultural sales. Agricultural agencies serving the county include: the Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil Conservation Service, the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and the Farmers Home Administration through its Mt. Gilead office. The Delaware Soil and Water Conservation District has served the county since 1944. The Columbus Production Credit and the Federal Land Bank provide needed credit loans to farmers in addition to local credit institutions. The Delaware County Farm Bureau Federation is the major farm organization serving the county with Granges being active in some areas. The National Farmers Organization also has a county unit. There are more than 100 4-H clubs serving Delaware and Delaware County. (Information concerning 4-H can be secured from the Cooperative Extension Service.) Agricultural educational programs are conducted by the vocational agriculture departments in each of the four high schools in the county and at the Joint Vocational School. Each vocational agriculture department also has an active FFA (Future Farmers of America) chapter. Adult and young farmer programs, as well as extension educational programs, are available to farmers and prospective farmers.

Description An account of the resource [page 22] [corresponds to page 19 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] research Research operations in the Delaware area literally reach from the earth to the stars. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Laboratories north of town seek new knowledge in tree and plant development, insect and disease research and pest control, while south of town, astronomers at Perkins Observatory scan the skies. In industrial labs scientists are working in a variety of areas from telecommunications to medical diagnostic agents. At the ITT North Electric Company more than 325 scientists and technicians are involved in research and development in telecommunications for government and industrial use and in sophisticated digital switching apparatus for national and international markets. The USDA installation near the Delaware Reservoir now totals 39,000 square feet with 30 labs plus greenhouses. Forest service specialists work with insect and disease prevention and, as northeastern field office for state and private forestry, offer guidance to land managers in Ohio and surrounding states. Agricultural research scientists are particularly pursuing genetic improvement of trees and plants for urban growing conditions. Perkins Observatory, with its 32-inch reflector and radiotelescope, long has been an important astronomical research center. It is operated cooperatively by Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio State Universities. Other OWU research projects, from the social science of market analysis to biological studies for environmental protection, figure prominently in Delaware city planning. 19 Title A name given to the resource Welcome to Delaware, Ohio (1979) (p. 22) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7ac2ed2b9fba90e99f4c962dc9bf7232.jpg ff67bcb07683cbd6ebd54298f8eebccb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to unlabeled page 2 of Delaware County Chamber of Commerce Classified Directory] DIRECTORY OF 1952 The Chamber of Commerce of Delaware, Ohio has been a vital force in this Community for nearly fifty years. This has been made possible by the continued loyal support of its members, they being a cross section of the Business, Industrial, Cultural, Professional and Agricultural interests who, working together, have improved business, attracted industry and raised the cul- tural level of Delaware. It is evident that the members listed herein are the people in Delaware who are willing to spend their time and money in bringing about, not only activities which will bring personal benefit but those which also benefit the whole community. We have tried to list all members as to their business or profession and have also cross-listed them alphabetically. We urge you to use this Directory when seeking services of any nature as we feel that a membership in the Chamber of Commerce is a recommendation for fair dealing and good service.

Description An account of the resource [page 33] [corresponds to unlabeled page 33 of Delaware County Chamber of Commerce Classified Directory] DELAWARE DATA Located in the scenic Olentangy River Valley at almost the geographical center of the State, Delaware, Ohio, has much to offer in the way of cultural, commercial and indus- trial advantages. The City of Delaware was founded in 1808, the same year that Delaware County was formed by dividing Franklin County. As the County seat, the City has had an impres- sive history. Industrialists look with favor upon Delaware as an ideal location for new developments. Delaware and its environs have many thriving industries employing nearly 2,000 people in various firms producing such things as truck bodies, tractor cranes, rubber goods, screw products, cameras, temperature control units, motors and equipment, caskets, canvas products, automatic brake controls, etc. Many of these plants have been con- verted to meet government procurement requirements during the Nation's present de- fense program. Tourists find many points of interest in Delaware and its surrounding territory. The site of the birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President of the United States, and also the oldest house still standing, built in 1813, which also was occupied by the Hayes family, are located in the center of the city. The Jane M. Case Hospital, set in a grove of oak and maple trees, is worth seeing, as is the Delaware flood control dam and reservoir four miles north of town, and the ter- ritory along the east side of the Scioto River which is developed for park and picnic areas following the river all the way from the Girls Industrial School to the Columbus Zoo. Sail boating is popular along this area. Persons interested in seeing Ohio's ca- verns will find the Olentangy Caverns, five miles south of Delaware, impressive. If you come to Delaware in the latter part of September, you should avail yourself of the opportunity of seeing one of the Nation's best harness races, "The Little Brown Jug," which is now considered the finest race for pacers. This racing classic is held at the time of the Delaware County Fair, one of the outstanding fairs in Ohio. Here you can see displays of Delaware County's agricultural products as well as cattle, horses, sheep and hogs - convicing proof that farmers in this area are up to date in raising quality produce and that their thoroughbred stock is unexcelled. During the past 133 years, Delaware and the surrounding marketing area have been served by the Delaware Gazette, a daily newspaper with a circulation of over 5,000. Now located in its new publishing house, The Gazette keeps the citizenry of a wide area informed and serves as an ideal advertising medium. Delaware Merchants offer the best in merchandise and services, and compare favor- ably with other marketing centers. For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the outstanding cultural centers in the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan University. Founded in 1842 by Meth- odist pioneers, Ohio Wesleyan has many historic spots on its main campus, including the Sulphur Spring, the Mansion House Hotel (now Elliott Hall), and a monument marking the former site of the Barber Tavern which served as General Harrison's headquarters in the War of 1812. Legend has it that it was at the Sulphur Spring that President Hayes proposed to his bride-to-be, Lucy Webb, one of Wesleyan's first co-eds.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Delaware County Historical Society] The Ohio Historical Society THE OHIO STATE MUSEUM, COLUMBUS 10 The Ohio Historical Society congratulates the Delaware County Hist- orical Society on the opening of its new historical museum. We all know that historical societies are born to preserve the history of a given geo- graphical area. But now, within your grasp is a means for interpreting that history to your community. In opening a museum you have assumed some heavy responsibilities, and there will be, as you have no doubt already discovered, a variety of problems. Having a museum is not always easy. It means work, hard work, and the cooperation of many. Yet, observing the mixture of fasci- nation, wonderment and joy in the faces of young visitors is a rich ample reward. With a museum you have a truly important line of communication to those you wish to reach - children, adults, prospective members and par- ticipants in the program of the Delaware County Historical Society. Plan wisely and demonstrate that the museum is vital to the Delaware Com- munity. With a well-worn path to the museum door you will not lack com- munity support. The Ohio Historical Society has a deep interest in your society and museum, as it has with any similar group in Ohio. May we sincerely offer whatever assistance we can give. On this memorable occasion marking the opening of your new hist- orical museum, again congratulations and best wishes. We believe that in many ways this opening marks also the beginning of a new era in the history of Delaware County. Erwin C. Zepp Director The Ohio Historical Society Columbus 10 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 5) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/243985623025dad93067134f7c16a4ef.jpg 229f946e85a15b0b2cbb96f2cb703a40 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Delaware County Historical Society] This is a happy day that I welcome you to the opening of the new home and museum of the Delaware County Historical Society. When our Society was founded in 1947, the charter members had great visions of making it a means of preserving some of the material things of historical significance which are a part of our Delaware County heritage. In our struggle to keep this Society alive, it has been our sincere desire to have a museum and to have members from all parts of Delaware County take a real and active part. Today, we have seen much of that vision become a reality. It was from her sincere desire to serve this Society and Delaware County that Miss Pauline Nash contributed her family home as our museum. One room in this museum has been set aside as the Eugene Nash Memorial Room in honor of her father, who was a collector of Delaware County hist- orical items. We all thank Miss Nash for her gracious gift. In the last nine months, much has been accomplished toward the condi- tioning of this home as a museum. We have much left to do; however, from this simple beginning as you see it today, we welcome you, and may you be inspired to take a more active interest in the advancement and growth of this Society. To all of the officers, chairmen of committees, committee members, Society members and friends who have contributed so much of their valu- able time in these busy days toward the opening of this museum, I wish to express my sincere thanks.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 6 of Delaware County Historical Society] DELAWARE COUNTY'S HISTORICAL SOCIETIES The first mention we have found of an historical society in Delaware County is an article written by D. W. C. Lugenbeel in the Delaware Gazette, for August 31, 1909. Here stated that "The Colonization Society was organized in 1832 with Mr. Hosea Williams as President." No men- tion was made of activities or programs of the society. The 1880 History of Delaware County (p. 203) states that "About the year 1870, an effort was made to reorganize a pioneer association in the county, but as a society, it has never amounted to much. One or two meetings were held, officers elected, and a Fourth of July picnic dinner (arranged). This constituted the bulk of its proceedings." Rev. J. D. VanDeman was elected Chairman, and Eugene Powell, Secretary, of a temporary committee of fifteen. The Hon. Thomas W. Powell gave the address of the occasion. The Hon. O. D. Hough was elected permanent president of the Pioneer Association of Delaware County. Some perma- nent committees were named and some activities outlined for them. The only meeting bsides the picnic known to have been held was on "the last day of the County Fair," in October, 1871, over a year later. There must have been some effort made to revive the society, per- iodically, for the Delaware Gazette, in an article, September 3, 1909, quoted the "last letter written to Delaware County by General Rosen- crans." It was addressed to D. W. C. Lugenbeel, and read: "I am sorry that I see no present prospect of being able to meet the Delaware County Pioneer Association, at Delaware, August 1, 1891. In a life of seventy- one years, I have had no time to revive memories which cluster around the home of my childhood. . . The desire to do this is so strong that I have still a hope that I may be able to gratify my wishes some day. Meanwhile, I am Very Respectfully Yours, W. S. Rosencrans." * Another letter in the same article, dated almost a year later, was referred to as the last letter written by President Hayes to his birthplace. It was also addressed to D. W. C. Lugenbeel, Secretary, and stated: "Absence from home for two weeks. . . prevented me from seeing your favor of the 18th of July until too late for acceptance of its invitation. With best wishes, Yours, etc., Rutherford B. Hayes." On February 8, 1906, some citizens of the county met at the office of Mr. H. E. Buck and formed The Delaware County Historical and Archaeolo- gical Society. The following trustees were elected: Henry Buck, Frank L. Grove, D. L. Ziegler, Joseph Gross, J. L. Smith, J. B. Taggart. The first named was to serve a six-year term, the others five, four, etc., as listed. Mr. J. L. Smithwwas elected president, D. L. Ziegler, vice president, Frank L. Grove, Secretary, Joseph Gross, Treasurer, and J. B. Taggart, Curator. Meetings were held every Monday and the last entry in the minutes was made on April 26, 1910. This book is now (1955) in the custody of the Delaware County District Library. 6 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 7) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a9271796cfe17c6a5ef78bacf25ce903.jpg 7df231612dbb068566fe4e04e3bac89f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cole, a number of persons interested in the history of Delaware County, past and present, met in the old Marlborough Church on October 12, 1947. Previously, in May, 1947, a group had tenta- tively organized the Marlborough Historical Society, but it was decided that this should be enlarged to include the whole of Delaware County, and to change the name to The Delaware County Historical Society. The first meet- ing of the new society was held in October; the constitution written and the society incorporated in November. On November 17, 1947, the first officers were elected. It was approved that the officers of the disbanded Marlbor- ough Society be the officers of the new Delaware County Historical Society; Mr. Wilbur J. Main, president, and Mrs. Walter S. Cole, secretary. The group had no treasurer, so Mrs. Edgar Nichols was elected to that office. The organization grew slowly, with much interest in the telling of past history, but with no financial backing or foundation with which to acquire a home for the society and/or a place to house and display the gifts of relics and records that it was hoped would come to the society for preservation. A number of papers, records and books were promised to various members for the society at such time as permanent housing would be available. In the summer of 1954 Miss Pauline Nash offered her home at 157 E. William Street to the Delaware County Historical Society for a museum. After a number of meetings by the officers and trustees in August 1954, this offer was accepted on an annuity basis. This was made possible by an annual allotment of funds from the County Commissioners, as stated in Ohio law. Work of getting the house in order for a museum was slow, but the enthusiasm of the members never lagged. Now, with the opening of a museum nearly eight years after organization, is the real beginning. The Society has a place to house and display some tangible evidences of Dela- ware County's past. The present must not be forgotten - it is tomorrow's past. Presidents have been: Wilbur J. Main, George Pugh, Robert Powers, Thomas Graham, and Wyford Jones; secretaries: Mrs. Walter S. Cole, Thomas Graham, and Mrs. William F. Hahnert; corresponding secretaries: Mrs. Walter S. Cole, M. S. Cherington; treasurers: Mrs. Edgar Nichols and Bernard Hatten. On October 20, 1947, with Fred Wicham as attorney, the incorporators of this society were: W. J. Main, John McClure Snook and Genevieve Cole. Trustees named on the charter are: Dave Sherwood, Lucille Canfield, Thomas A. Price, Cleo Scott, L. A. McMillan, Milton Utley, R. B. Powers, Leland Fisher, Genevieve Cole, Elizabeth Weaver, and John McClure Snook. The document of incorporation bears the seal of the State of Ohio, the signature of Edward J. Hummel, Secretary of State, and the date November 3, 1947.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 8 of Delaware County Historical Society] THIS DAY, MAY 22, 1955, is the official opening of the newly acquired museum of the Delaware County Historical Society, and the second annual pilgrimage planned by the Society. We welcome guests from all over our State. This museum, located on West William Street, State Route 42, has been the Nash home since 1885. It is a two story red brick home with seven rooms, built in 1876. The front porch was added at a later date. The spindles of the railing on the porch were originally in the railing of the City Council chambers. The interior of the home has been redecorated for this occasion - and for the museum. The front hall has an open winding stairway with black walnut stair rail and newell posts. The museum will show materials designed to stimulate community interest in local history. They will tell the story of the past of our county. The displays will vary from time to time. The historical col- lections of Mr. Nash will be kept intact in the Eugene P. Nash Memorial Room. The rest of the house will be devoted to Delaware County. Some few pieces of furniture have been acquired. The oldest, perhaps, is a desk over which the first taxes of Delaware County were paid. Some old, or primitive tools have been donated, with old guns, pictures, maps, and a few pieces of wearing apparel. There is equipment for spinning and weaving, as well as dental equipment for an early dentist's office and a number of children's toys. The building was built in 1876 by John Slattery, the grandfather of Dr. George Parker. It was acquired by our Society in 1954 by annuity gift from Miss Pauline Nash, the owner. Deeds in the posession of the society show these owners: December 9, 1865 Carolyn Graff to John Graff. August 1, 1876 Christopher & Emily M. Potter to John Slattery. August 1, 1876 from John and Mary Slattery to Thomas Slattery. February 9, 1881 John C. Graff & wife to Anna Shindoler. August 4, 1882 Thomas Slattery to Mrs. Anna Hutchins August 12, 1882 Anne Hutchins to Sam Hutchins August 3, 1885 Samuel and Sarah A. Hutchins to William Henry Nash for a consideration of $2400.00. February 13, 1915 heirs of William Henry Nash to Eugene P. Nash. June 29, 1929 Eugene P. Nash to Lois C. Nash.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page 9 of Delaware County Historical Society] THE NASH FAMILY [photo of Pauline Nash] The name "Nash" is supposed to be a corruption of atten-ash, at the Ash; Naish, place near Bristol, England. The family, like its name, is of Saxon origin, and were resident in England prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name is found at early dates in the counties of Oxford, Worcester, London, Suffolk and Lancaster, as well as in Ulster, Ireland and Wales at the end of the sixteenth cen- tury. The families came to the eastern shores of the United States. The Dela- ware county family are in direct line of descent from these families. Eugene P. Nash, son of William Henry and Emmeline (Williams) Nash, was interested in collecting old Dela- ware County relics such as, Bibles, hand-made linens, badges, news- papers, fractional currency, samplers, items from President Hayes' birthplace, Indian relics, etc. Eugene Nash married Lois Cole, May 25, 1893 and they came to Delaware from Berlin Township. Lois Cole, the daughter of Captain Elias Cole, Delaware County Treasurer for many years, was an accomplished seamstress. She was highly re- garded as a dressmaker, and her list of patrons included the best dressed women of the 1890's. Two interesting items from her journal read: "December 12, 1892. This morning at 4:45 Father and I started over East to collect taxes. . Olive Green. . to Sunbury and put up at the Paul Hotel. Dec. 13 . . . to Centervillage. Dec. 14. . collected at Galena and had dinner at Mrs. Johnson's. Dec. 15, collected at Sunbury. . and came home reaching our destination at 8:15." . . . "June 23, 1899. We got ready to go . . to the laying of the cornerstone of the Masonic Temple. It was so warm, 101 in the shade."* The only child of Eugene and Lois Nash is Pauline Nash, donor of the Museum. Miss Nash is an expert in many phases of handicraft, including ceramics, quilting and weaving. She was Delaware County's first Red Cross Gray Lady, is a member of the First Baptist Church, the George L. Behrens Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, the Beta Sigma Phi, and has served for many years as a volunteer Home Service Secretary of the County Red Cross unit. Anna C.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to page 10 of Delaware County Historical Society] GRANGE HISTORY January 13, 1866, Oliver H. Kelly started on a trip through the South and conceived the idea of a fraternity of farmers to restore agriculture and united once more the north and south. December 4, 1867 is recognized as the birthday of the Grange when a formal session of founders was held at Washington D.C. and the National Grange was organized and officers elected. April 9, 1873, the Ohio State Grange was organized at Lebanon, Ohio, with S. H. Ellis as State Master. It now has over 900 local groups with a mem- bership of 177,900. Delaware County has a membership of 2100 in its local granges. The Grange includes all family membership and through demo- cratic organization encourages rural people working together for the benefits of farm life. Floyd Weaver [newspaper clipping] 137th Year Started By The Gazette Today Today's issue of the Delaware Gazette is No. 1 of Vol. 137. The first newspaper was pub- lished here in 1818 by two min- isters, Jacob Drake, a Baptist, and Josiah Hughes, a Presbyter- ian. Early editions were printed on coarse, yellow paper and were only four columns wide. On Sept. 24, 1821, The Gazette became the property of Ezra Griswold, publisher in Columbus and Worthington, and the next issue on Oct. 10, 1821 appeared as the "Delaware Patron and Frank- lin Chronicle." Subsequent name changes labeled it as the "Dela- ware Patron and Sandusky Ad- vertiser" until May 13, 1830, and then "Ohio State Gazette and Delaware County Journal." Griswold sold the paper in 1834 to George W. Sharpe who called it the "Olentangy Gazette." In that year, Sharpe invited a rela- tive, Abram Thomson, to come from Maryland to be his partner and two years later Thomson be- came sole owner, changing the name back to the original one, "The Delaware Gazette," which has continued to the present day. With the exception of six years, 1865 to 1871, sole ownership of the newspaper has remained in the Thomson family. During that time, Capt. Alfred E. Lee, who served with distinction in the Civil War, owned a half-interest. The present editor and publish- er, Walter Dunlap Thomson, and his son Henry Clay Thomson II, general manager, are the third and fourth generations. In 1884, The Gazette changed from a semi-weekly to a daily paper. A separate edition of interest to rural readers was published semi- weekly until 1930. DELAWARE, O.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page 11 of Delaware County Historical Society] IN THE BEGINNING. . . . It is believed that Central Ohio was inhabited by the Mound Builders over 800 years before the Indians. There are several examples of these mounds in the county but there is no trace of language, history, or anything that would give a clue as to where they came from and where they went. The contents of the mounds often suggest origins in New England, Florida, Mexico and Peru. The Indians who came later had no knowledge or tradi- tion concerning them. The Indians who were here when the first white set- tlers arrived, were the Delaware, the Shawanees and the Mingoes, and per- haps small groups of other tribes. It was not until after the second Treaty of Greenville in 1814 that the Indians left this area. The first settlement in the county was made May 1, 1801 on the east bank of the Olentangy, five miles below Delaware (now Liberty Township) by Nathan Carpenter and Avery Powers, from Chenango County, New York. In April 1802, Thomas Cellar and Josiah McKinney, from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, settled two miles lower down the river. In the fall of 1803, Henry Perry and David Pugh, from Wales, made a clearing and put up a cabin in Radnor, three-fourths of a mile from Delhhi. Then in the fall of 1804, Colonel Moses Byxbe and his company from Berk- shire, Massachusetts, settled on Alum Creek and named their settlement Berkshire. Col. Byxbe was considered wealthy for his day and owned 8000 acres here that he had obtained through the purchase of land warrants from the Revolutionary soldiers. He brought quite a company with him and al- though he established and laid out the first town in the county it became of little importance. Berlin Township was settled next in 1805 by George Cowgill on part of 4000 acres owned by Byxbe and later that same year Philander Hoadley, David Isaac, and Chester Lewis settled on part of 4000 acres owned by Joseph Constant. Asa Scott was the first treasurer of the township and gave it its name. An early settlement was made by a native of Wales, Richard Hoskins, his wife and seven children when they started a home on Boke's Creek, in Scioto Township in 1806. This was followed by many others in the next few years. Genoa was settled in 1807 by Marcus Curtis and Elisha Newell from Connecticut, and William Cox came later from Pennsylvania. In Kingston Twp., George Hess and John Philips came from Pennsylvania in 1807, and James, Stark, John Rosecrans, Daniel Rosecrans and David Taylor in 1809. It was in Kingston Twp. that the famed Civil War General, W. S. Rosecrans was born. Delaware Township and City was slow in getting settled. In 1807, James Barber built a cabin near the Sulphur Springs where he kept a Tavern. Shortly Col. Byxbe and some of his friends came in from Berkshire and laid out the town of Delaware. The county was organized in 1808. With Col. Byx- be were William Little, Dr. Lamb, Solomon Smith, Elder Jacob Drake, Thomas Butler, and Ira Carpenter. That same year Byxbe built the first 11 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 12) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c8b59c9468302f81030cc1c1103c92bf.jpg 23ada8f5f447f64619529ca4ec24aa8c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In 1807 settlements were made in several other townships. Marl- borough was settled by Jacob Foust near the forks of the Whetstone, then Ariel Strong and a couple named Swinington, and the next year, Nathaniel Wyatt and William Brundage settled in Marlbourough. William Perfect and Mordecai Thomas chose Trenton Township for a home site. Benijah Cook and a man named Thomson settled in Harlem Township. Porter Township was settled by Christopher and Ebenezer Linberger from western Pennsyl- vania, and later by Joel Z. Mendenhall. They all located around Olive Green. In About 1808 Joab Norton moved into Orange Township. He started the first tannery in the county and also could make shoes. Sometime after 1809, Brown Township was settled by Daniel G. Thurston, F. Cowgill and Stephen Goram, on the west bank of Alum Creek. Ezra and Comfort Olds moved into Oxford Township in 1810, coming from Sunbury. Then came John and Henry Foust from Marlborough. The Olds cabin was only one room, 20 feet square, and there were six persons in the Olds family. That fall a family named Clark arrived, and the Olds' took the nine Clarks in with them, making fifteen persons in this one room cabin. Concord Twp. started with the coming of George Hill from Pennsylvania in 1811. He built his cabin just north of where the old Mansion House of the White Sul- phur Springs was later to be located in 1842 by Nathaniel Hart. Still later this was bought by the State, in 1869, for "The State Reform School for Girls." Christopher Freshwater came with Hill. Thompson Township was settled in 1809 by Samuel Weaver, then in 1816 John Cochrane came from Pennsylvania. Eleazer Main settled in the area that is now Troy Twp. in 1812, but soon left for service in the War of 1812. Lyman Main was another early settler, as well as Joseph Cole, David Dix, John Duncan and William Norris, who came from old Virginia. In these early days there were no roads, only trails, and the settlers built their own mills for grinding grain, saw mills for lumber, tanneries for leather. Sometimes a blacksmith shop, a store, or a tavern was started as it was a hard trip to go without products to sell, or supplies to buy, from such distant points as Franklinton and Chillicothe. It is interesting to note that the first settlement made in Delaware County was 154 years ago this month, on the east bank of the Olentangy River in Liberty Township. Captain Nathan Carpenter arrived from New York on May 1, 1801. He brought his family and about 20 young men who wanted to see this new country. Some of them later became prominent settlers. Captain Carpenter erected a cabin on what was recently the Eli Long farm, two miles south of Stratford. The land was purchased last year by The Greif Bros. Cooperage Coporation which is now restoring that first cabin as an historical monument. 12 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 13) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/065d4d21dcc76205de7e32704557f853.jpg 18f055ade27f49d6249a41534136b6cc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 13 of Delaware County Historical Society] Nathan Carpenter sold his New York estate and made the long, hazardous journey into Ohio (requiring two months, 18 days) for the same reason that many Ohioans now dispose of their property and travel to California or Florida to live. Carpenter went up on the roof of his house in New York one winter morning to shovel off snow, "a frequent necessity in that climate." When he descended, he told his wife that he had decided to leave that land of hills and snowbanks and go to the wonderful Ohio. Another early settler of Liberty Township, George Cruikshank, who came here from Salem, New York in 1815, had similar feelings about the climate he left behind. In a letter dated August 30, 1816, George wrote to his brother, Peter, in Salem, telling him how he had purchased 500 acres of "the best land you ever saw" out here in Ohio, with a comfortable log house and a stable, 12 acres cleared and fenced, at $4 an acre. "For mercy sake," George's letter continued, "when you hear this, pull up stakes like a man and leave that frozen and inhospitable land where the winter consumes all the summer doth yield. . . I could say many more things to induce you to leave that dreary land for the sake of coming to this garden of the world.!" Contributors: Dr. M. E. Cherington, Mrs. Harvey Cruikshank. THE DELAWARE GRAPE brought fame and some fortune to Delaware County and Countians. About the year 1850 is was found growing along the banks of the Scioto. A Mr. Heath had brought it from New Jersey years before. Mr. Abram Thomson of the Delaware Gazette, discovered its superior merits, and its introduction created a furore in the grape-growing circles. The prices for grape-vines ranged from $1.00 to even $5.00. It did require proper soil and great skill to produce it properly, so some inexperience growers were disappointed. However, its fame brought Delaware County fame. 13 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 14) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c3550b33ffe34dadff6a2fef55787d2c.jpg 3491da348b620609c243526d28650a1f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They built a church in 1825, rebuilt in 1843, and remodeled extensively in 1874. St. Peter's Episcopal congre- gation was organized in 1817. They built a church in 1825, and rebuilt in 1844, their present church. The William Street Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1818. Their first church building in Delaware was erected by the Metho- dists in 1822, across Franklin Street from the present location. The second church was built on the present site in 1846, and the present church was built in 1888. St. Paul's Methodist Church, organized in 1852, Grace Church, in 1860, and Asbury Church, in 1888, took their beginning from the church membership of William Street Church. St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized in 1821. In the early days a minister came once a month from Columbus and preached twice on a Sunday, once in German and once in English. In 1834, the Lutheran congregation, assisted by the unorganized Reformed people, built a stone church on the southeast corner of William and Henry Streets. In 1852, the Lutheran people sold their interest in the church to the Reformed congregation, which had been organized in 1836, and the Lutherans built their stone church on East William Street. In 1856, the Reformed people replaced their stone building with a brick church which served them until damaged by the flood of 1913, after which they built their church at Central Avenue and Franklin Street. The German Methodists organized in 1836, and built in 1854, the brick building on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Washington Street. They existed as a separate conference for some years and then joined with the larger M.E. Conference. The Welsh Congregational Church was organized in 1841. In 1844, they built a brick church on West Winter Street on what is now West School grounds. Services were conducted in Welsh until 1870. The Baptist Church was organized in 1853, after having had lay mini- sters since about 1810 or 1812. They built their church on the present site in 1858. It was extensively remodeled about 1909. St. Mary's Church was organized about 1850. They built, in 1854, a frame church on University Avenue, west of Sandusky Street. In 1890, they built their present church on East William Street. Delaware now has nine- teen different churches.

Morgan Academy opened in 1815 as a tui- tion school but closed after a few years. Several private schools provided schooling from 1815 to 1825 when the first state law provided for a 1/2 mill tax for educational purposes. Population of Delaware up to that time was under 500 people. The main concern was for primary education. Among the interesting people who founded and conducted private schools were Mr. James B. Weaver, 1821; Capt. Murray, 1823; John A. Quitman, 1823; Miss Sophia Moore and Mr. Richard Murray, 1825; Mr. Asa Mes- senger, 1827; Albert Pickett, 1834; Horatio Seymour, 1834; Mrs. Howison and Miss Johnson, 1832, and Mrs. Sprague, 1832. Under the 1825 state school law, a stone school house on the south- west corner of Franklin and Winter Streets and a frame school on the northwest corner of the court house lot were built. Miss Eliza T. Thomp- son, later Mrs. William Carson, was the first teacher for the primary pupils. In 1834 citizens built Delaware Academy on University Avenue as a tuition school for older pupils. It failed soon but much later became a public school. Central School for older pupils was opened in 1846 as a result of an improved Ohio law for schools in 1847. It was the rebuilt old William St. Church and continued until 1859. Mr. Lucius P. Marsh, 24 years of age was the first superintendent of schools. In 1859, Central School was trans- ferred to a new building where West School is located now. In 1865, James S. Campbell became superintendent and continued until 1891. In 1869, a North School of 4 rooms was constructed, and in 1870 an East School of 4 rooms. In 1875 a six-room building was built in south Delaware. Rooms were added to all later. A high school was built on Winter Street in the 1880's, West replaced Central in 1904 and East was rebuilt in 1913. North and Woodward were built in 1950. Willis High School was dedicated on October 16, 1932. (Woodward School replaced South School and took the name of Laura Woodward, beloved principal of the school.) In 1879 the enumeration of the school age youth was 2300. Teachers numbered 25. The budget was $13,500, and the school tax was just over 3 mills. Some over 1100 pupils were in schools. Pupils averaged over 50 per room. Delaware High School's first commencement exercises were held on June 22, 1877 for 16 graduates. The 1955 graduating class has over 100. 1956 will see the completion of a new elementary school in Delaware, remodeling on East and West, added rooms on Woodward and North, making five elementary schools, one high school, and one parochial school.

During his office, he witnessed the change from one room to centralized schools. In 1882, Mr. Main began his teaching career in the one-room school in Marlborough Township, Number 5, at the age of 17. There was only a winter term and the teacher boarded around in turn at the homes of his students, and received a salary of $18 a month. From this township school, Mr. Main went to Ashley where he taught in the old school build- ing which is now the ribbon factory owned by R. B. Powers. In 1892, he became the principal of South School in Delaware. In 1908, he served as principal of Delaware High School, then in 1920, as superintendent of the Delaware schools. While principal, he was president of the Central Ohio Teachers' Association. In earlier days, he served on the Boxwell examination committee with Milton Utley and Ira Gregory. It was necessary for the students to pass this examination if they wished more than an elementary education without paying tuition. He also served on the examining board of the city and county teachers, as well as an executive for the County Institute of Teachers as long as it was held. He gave fifty-one years of unselfish ser- vice to the betterment of public schools in which he so firmly believed and so much loved. Forrest Main Lawrence DELAWARE COUNTY LIBRARY Through the vision of a small group of interested women the local library was established. It was originally organized as a municipal li- brary, but in 1951 was changed to a county district library serving every citizen of Delaware County. In addition, the bookmobile, serves twelve county schools, and adults at designated stops, as well as the Sarah Moore Home in Delaware. In 1954 the Library lent 98,589 books and magazines, which was 2,757 more than in 1953. The library lent 258 motion picture films to groups and individuals. This included 412 showings to audiences totaling 15,074. Children may participate in a summer reading project, as well as benefit from a Children's Librarian, and story hour period. Cooperation is given to individuals, clubs and organizations throughout the county both in supplying material and in helping plan programs, provide speakers, and on occasion furnishing a meeting place. A Young Adult Heritage Discus- sion Group was organized last year. It is one of eight such groups conduc- ted in Ohio Libraries during the past year. The services of the Library to the community and county are unlimited.

The steps in the process are unique and interesting. Long a restful and refreshing haunt of buffalo, deer, and Indian, about a century and a quarter ago the spring, because of its "salubrious and health giving, although oderiferious water," and its nearness to the little village of Delaware, gave rise to the Mansion House Hotel. The hotel in turn was to become Elliott Hall, the first building of Ohio Wesleyan. The boom days of President Andrew Jackson and the enterprise of two men. one Columbus Kent and Thomas W. Powell, an outstanding figure in Dela- ware history, had built what was for that day an imposing hotel structure. For a few years this health resort and the sulphur bath houses that grew up around it attained a certain notoriety, and a degree of gay, "world- ly" social life, and patrons came from distant parts to this "Saratoga of the West." But the hazards of frontier economy and in particular the great panic of 1837 in the administration of Martin VanBuren, brought bankruptcy and failure to the ambitious effort. Then came the important steps: The raising, by Delaware citizens, headed by Adam Poe, the pastor of William Street Church, of ten thousand dollars to purchase the title and turn the bankrupt hotel into a Methodist college; the adoption of this program by Methodist leaders; the obtaining, in 1842, of a charter; and, in 1844, the opening of college classes - Nov- ember 13, a great day in college and town history. In 1853, in the Little Mansion at the head of Winter Street, the beginnings of the girls' school, the Ohio Wesleyan Female College, took place, and later was extended and called Monnett Hall. The establishment, not only of the men's university, but also of the girls' college, was to a large degree the work of Delaware citizens. The greatest step came in 1877 with the union of the two schools and Ohio Wesleyan was launched on its significant coeducational career. The list of names of those Delaware townsmen who were intimately connected with the founding of both colleges is too long to record here; however, there are such family names as Powers, Little, Hills, Welch, VanDeman, Powell, Williams, Pettibone, Joy, and Thomson. The only college names that can be here mentioned for those formative years (up to 1900), are those of the four presidents: Edward Thomson, Frederick Merrick, Charles H. Payne, and James W. Bashford. In return for what the town did for the college, what has the college in those decades and later, done for the town? Besides bringing students by the thousands and spreading the name of Delaware throughout the world, college professors and administrators have held municipal office, have served in the City Council, have promoted city improvements, reform, and welfare agencies, and have even held the office of mayor. At the risk of making serious omission, the following names may be listed as outstanding 19 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 19) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/67b38fd365911863a79c735717a62927.jpg e404e2f6b1a01b861eb4f788d9d80319 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Hubbart "49-ers" Forty-eight years after the discovery of gold in California. Jerome Boynton wrote an account of the "Gallant 49ers." The Delaware Mutual Protection Co., under Capt. Joseph Storm and D. N. Darlington, left Delaware April 1, 1849. They arrived at Placerville, Calif. after three and one-half months of weary travel without the loss of a single man. They pitched their tents near the banks of Webber Creek, where gold was discovered. A dairy written by Rev. Lemuel Herbert tells of another party with accounts from April 2, 1850 to July 20, 1850. In this group were two women, Mrs. L. H. and Mrs. R. P. Ranney. These gold seekers were cap- tured by Indians but released when given a bright colored vest by George Pugh.

There is little doubt that Nathan Carpenter built the first mill in Liberty Township about 1804. The old stone mill was about a mile north of town on the Olentangy, then called the Whetstone. Nathaniel Hall built a mill about 1808 on Alum Creek in Berlin Township near the present Delaware and Sunbury Road. In 1818 E. Barrett & Co. started a woolen mill along the Olentangy just north of the Central Avenue bridge. On the Scioto river, grist mills were located at Millville, now Warrensburg, and at Cone's mill farther north. Moses Byxbe built a dam across the river north of Central Avenue and along the mill race on the west bank he erected a grist and saw mill, and shortly afterwards a woolen mill. Sometime later on the opposite bank, Judge Powell and Hawes & Brigham built the large stone building, still standing, to manufacture products from flax, then extensively used. They also made twine and cotton bagging. They went under in the panic of 1872 and the buildings were acquired by the Delaware Chair Company, which made double cane-seated chairs. To extract the oil from the flax seed, J. A. Barnes built the substantial stone building at the northwest corner of Winter and Lake Streets. A paper mill was established by Caleb Howard at Stratford in 1830. It operated until 1872 and at one time was considered the most important paper mill west of the Alleghenies. The Delaware Fence Company was organized in 1868 by A. J. Rich- ards and Eugene Powell. Some of their product did enclose the court house grounds. When taken down it was moved to the county home grounds, but has recently been removed from there. Col. Byxbe had a still in the cellar of his grist mill, another still was built by Dr. Reuben Lamb on the Delaware run nearly opposite the spot where Edwards Gymnasium now stands. Joab Norton built the first tannery in Delaware in 1809 just north of the Edwards Gymnasium location. The cigar makign business started in Delaware County in the early 1850's, with Charles Wottring as the pioneer. The oldest and largest firm was The Riddle Graff & Co. Mr. Christian Riddle learned his trade with Mr. Wootring, then in 1866, formed his own firm as a partnership with John Liebenderfer and Jacob Bolinger. This firm purchased the Wootring business and the following year Mr. Riddle withdrew from the firm. This firm continued with some personnel changes until the early 80's when it was assigned to Charles Wootring who closed it. After Mr. Riddle withdrew from the firm, he started his own, in 1867, doing a small business. It is said that the first 100 cigars he shipped went to a man in Galion, Ohio, who never paid for them. In the early 70's George L. Graff became a partner and the name Riddle & Graff was adopted and then in 1874 LeRoy W. Battenfield became a partner and 23 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 21) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5603648b63de18335b36bd8117de3ea1.jpg ca756d0b5f18b44eab6a087ff3cece21 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mr. Graff retired from the firm in the early 90's. Their office and factory were located at 10 N. Sandusky St. This three story building was erected in 1878 and the com- pany employed from 120 to 150 cigar-makers, to whom were paid between $35,000 and $40,000 annually in wages. Their production of cigars each year was from six to eight millions, and five traveling salesmen were employed to secure sales in about six of the surrounding states. This business proved to be the largest of its kind in the state and continued until January 1, 1923 when Mr. Riddle retired after 56 years of active ser- vice. He was an active civic worker, director and president of the Deposit Banking and one of the founders of the Peoples Building and Loan Company. He was among those authorizing the building of the structures which housed these businesses. Other cigar makers were the J. Hessnauer & Co., Pfiffner and Hessnauer, The Delaware Co-Operative Cigar Co., Grasser and Haas, Wm. Hanitsch and Wells Brothers. The only cigar box manufac- turer in the county was Charles M. Ulrey who started in the early 80's and turned out around 500 boxes a day which were almost all used in this county. The Delaware Underwear Company was organized by W. A. Morrison in 1902 and was located in the building directly north of what is now Edgar Hall. About 1908 the company erected the building which is now Edgar Hall and the name of the company was changed to the Delaware Garment Co. They manufactured women's outing gowns, cotton dresses and skirts, and employed about 150 people. Later a branch factory in Galena manufactured outing flannel gowns. During the 1913 flood the water rose to the height of 7 1/2 feet in the building and some 600 dozen gowns, stored in the wareroom, were dried on the Wesleyan front campus. In 1918 W. A. Morrison sold his interest and established the Morrison Dry Goods Co. J. L. Anderson became president of the Garment Company and Robert Cellars and H. C. Kent were directors. In 1922 the company was liquidated and the building was sold to Ohio Wes- leyan and called Edgar Hall. There have been Delaware factories producing steam engines, iron fence, and farm wagons, as well as foundries and planing mills. The Dela- ware Clay Company manufactures brick. We now have Denison Engineering Co., Delaware Lumber Co. (sucker rods); Delaware Screw Products (mach- ine screws); Greif Bos. Cooperage Co. (barrels, offices only); Hughes Keenan Corp.

G. Dickerson, Charles Kunze, D. W. Jones and C. W. Humes (only one now living). Temporary officers were: T. L. Oswald, chairman, and Ber- nard Hatten, secretary, and they sold the first ten shares of $100 par, with payment of $10 on each subscription in order to raise the $100. needed for the incorporation fee. The preliminary work was under the guidance of the first Agriculture Agent of Delaware County, Forrest G. Ketner. The first officers and directors elected were: C. C. Dunlap, president; T. L. Oswald, vice president; Bernard Hatten, secretary; Ashton S. Conklin, treasurer; Lewis Slack, W. W. Ferguson, G. A. Dix, R. G. Dickerson, C. W. Humes, Elmer C. Miller and Walter A. Jones. The only ones now living are Dix, Humes, Miller and Hatten. The new cooperative on June 1, 1919 bought out the "Electric Mill" on South Sandusky Street, from West and Murphy and this burned several years later. W. A. West became the first manager, followed a year later by Daniel E. Murphy, a brother of the former partner-owner. The pre- sent manager, Clifford S. Gooding, who had been elected manager of the Lewis Center Branch in 1924 was a few years later elected general mana- ger of the fast growing organization. During the years the Association has taken over the elevators at Lewis Center and Radnor and the east side elevator operated for a few years by W. A. West, also the V. T. Hills ware- house on S. Sandusky Street and the Dunlap Lumber Yard on the C. & O. R.R. The business has increased from a volume of sales in 1923 of $248,625.00 to $3,750,000 in 1954 and earnings of $9,209. in 1923 had in- creased to $140,000 in 1954. New elevators have been erected in Dela- ware, Lewis Center and Radnor, with modern grinding, mixing plants and machinery shops installed. Present officers are Bernard Hatten, presi- dent; George L. Pugh, vice president; Harry E. Desgranges, secretary- treasurer; and directors: Claude Neilson Griffith, Harold Gooding, Harley J. Scott, B. H. Peirsol, Kenneth Freeman, E. P. Jones, L.

HAYES [portrait of Hayes] Rutherford B. Hayes, nineteenth President of the United States, was born in Delaware, October 4, 1822. His father had died two months before his birth, so that his Uncle Sardis Birchard had assumed some of the duties of his household. It was through the in- fluence of Uncle Sardis that the family eventually moved to Fremont, Ohio. Hayes was graduated from Kenyon College in 1842 and began the practice of law in Fremont. Later he was city solicitor of Cincin- nati. He was a member of Congress in 1865, served as Governor of Ohio three times and became the nineteenth president of the United States in 1877. His wife, Lucy Webb Hayes, was one of the first wo- men to attend classes with men students at Ohio Wesleyan, and the Sulphur Springs is romantically linked with their courtship. In the White House, Lucy was known by the "wets" as "Lemonade Lucy" because she refused to serve wine at official dinners. Hayes' has been ranked by historians as among our best of presidents. The birthplace on West William Street was torn down some years ago to make room for a filling station. A marker commemor- ates the site. It was erected by the Daughters of the American Rev- olution. 27 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 25) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ed414b268c3e6021d925ff92485b3452.jpg 303cdf904da2b301b61df57600d8be0c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 27] [corresponds to page 29 of Delaware County Historical Society] MEMBERSHIP Membership in the Delaware County Historical Society is open to everyone and the dues are $2.00 per year for one person, or for two or more in one household. Why be a member? We feel that the work the Society wants to do is really a must if we expect to discover more about our County's early history and transfer that knowledge to others as the years go by. It offers one focal point where this knowledge can be assembled and the material things of the past preserved. This Society was organized in 1947 and the membership was carried along at a level of abotu 100. When it was certain that we were to have a Museum the urge to increase our membership re- sulted in a personal campaign which netted us 196 new members. In January a letter was sent out to almost every home in the County. This resulted in 265 new members which gives us a total of 565 members. These are divided 363 in the city, and 202 in the county and other points. The county can be further broken down as to mailing areas as follows: Delaware R.D. 1 - 29 R.D. 2 20 R.D. 3 14 R.D. 4 23 Sunbury 37 Ashley 9 Galena 6 Westerville 7 Ostrander 8 Powell 8 Radnor 8 Leonardsburg 6 Centerburg 2 Lewis Center 1 Worthington 1 Croton 1 Shawnee Hills 1 Out of the county post offices are 21. This is a growing family so make haste and send in your $2.00 dues - so little can really help so much. Dr. M. S. Cherington, Membership Chairman 29 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 27) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a3c753846370c05cecede533d5d09d98.jpg 543fc3e9096cf815a780af4efe5e6a57 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We are more than pleased with the response and sup- port which the community has given us in this re- latively short period of time. This confidence has enabled us to grow with the economy in our area and provide new and increased service to advance the development of a Greater Delaware.

We were fortunate to have space in the building to estab- lish our temporary office, thus preventing a move to quarters in another building. The patience, understanding and cooperation of our customers during this period have been sincerely appreciated. The first step in the remodeling was the construc- tion of a new and more adequate vault. This work was started on July 15, 1963. The banking office was moved to the basement area in September 1963, where business was conducted in what was known as "the bargain basement." The entire re- modeling operation lasted exactly eight months to "ribbon cutting day."

Carbide street lights, steam engines and handle bar mustaches were normal sights to be seen on Sandusky Street. Construction techniques were greatly different from our modern day methods. Quality of workmanship and strength of materials in the original construction presented several problems in our remodeling program which de- layed completion.

Six- teen men organized a group of people to establish a second bank in Delaware, and were elected as the first board of directors when the bankw as char- tered. The first banking office was established in the present County Bank Building which was then the Peoples Building, and occupied less than half of the first floor area. Judge Fred J. McAlli- ster was the first president of the bank. And now [arrow] Today we are proud to open our newly remodeled Downtown Office, designed to provide for our customers' comfort, convenience, and service. The enlarged lobby and banking area occupy the entire first floor of the building plus additional space on the mezzanine and in the basement.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Delaware County Bank] [photo] The desire to indicate the interest of the bank in activities of the community, prompted the placing of four paintings in the lobby area, representing religion, education, agriculture and the county fair which attracts attention each year to the grand circuit racing event, The Little Brown Jug. Mr. Richard A. Wengenroth, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Ohio Wesleyan University, has re- alistically depicted these subjects in his paintings of scenes in Delaware and the surrounding area. The choice of a local artist, talented to execute this idea for the bank, underscores the resolution of interest in the community which fostered the founding of the Home Owned, Home Controlled Bank in Delaware.
