In November of the year 1838

Rutherford B. Hayes entered Kenyon

College. Diligent, generous, retrospec-

tive, and vigorous, he applied himself

to his studies with his ideal placed

high. Four years later he entered

Harvard law School from which he

was graduated with distinction. This

same faithfulness to a purpose is re-

flected in the intent of the students

of Delaware County.

Factors Determining Success


Although we may not agree as to the meaning of success there can be no disagree-

ment about its importance to the individual and the nation. Whether success means

supplying individual needs or rendering a public service its importance is recognized.

The question which is raised in all divisions of government from the largest to the

smallest subdivision of township and school district is, "What can be done to promote

the common welfare." Considered from the standpoint of the individual and the

group this investigation seeks to determine how all the people can be better served

through the ability of the individual to serve.


The question of individual and national success is centuries old and has resulted

in but one conclusion. America has only one answer to the question and that is

education, as embodied in the free public schools of the nation.


If success depends upon education, then, as has been well said, "education is the

most momentous as well as the most essential business of the human race." Education

like success has a variable meaning, but it has generally been understood to mean one

or more of three things. It may be understood to mean getting useful knowledge,

acquiring skill, or, shaping ideals; and should properly be considered to mean all of

these things. Education produces useful changes in the individual; a change in

knowledge, a change in skill, a change in ideals.


Our public school system represents one of the greatest factors in bringing about

these useful changes. The school represents the experience of all time as to the best

method of furnishing opportunities which will stimulate the effort of the individual

and bring about the desirable changes. The school makes the greatest contribution to

individual and national success, and is only little less important than food, clothing

and shelter.


On the billboards of the country we read, "They satisfy."--"The flavor lasts,"

and cheerfully make a national expenditure of five billions annually. Where shall we

emblazon, "Education the greatest factor in success," so that it will be less difficult

to make the property tax the only source of revenue for the support of the public

SEVENTEEN BILLIONS FOR LUXURIES AND ONE BILLION FOR EDU-

CATION does not indicate that we have rightly valued the factors contributing to our

success.


With the ever increasing demands of a complex civilization we can no longer hope

to make the property tax the only source of revenue for the support of the public

schools. Especially is this true from the standpoint of farming communities, which, to

a great extent have lost their former significance with respect to the nation's wealth.

Our success will depend not upon our ability to reduce expenditures for education, but

upon our ability to devise methods of taxation, which will draw revenue from the vast

and almost wholly untouched sources of wealth derived from private and business in-

comes. When these matters have been properly adjusted, a new day will dawn for the

public schools, and education, as never before, will contribute to the success of the in-

dividual and the nation.

The School Year


We are glad to say that this year there has been added another profi-

table era to the history of Ashley High. In reviewing the accomplishments

of the past year we should first note the Fall Festival.


It was one of the enjoyable events of the year. It was held in Novem-

ber in different sections of the School Building. A varied program was

given consisting of three shows in the Auditorium given by the grades

and a few high school students. A Ministrel Show, A Court of Justice,

Japanese Tea Room, Country Store and a Fish Pond. Popcorn and candy

were sold. The proceeds which were one hundred and fifty dollars were

used to secure bookcases and other needed articles for our school.


Our school has been well diversified by parties and banquets. Dur-

ing the pleasant autumn months weiner and marshmallow roasts were

held by the classes, but as winter approached entertainment changed ac-

cordingly. A party was given in honor of the winners of the ticket selling

contest for the Lyceum course. Then a banquet was enjoyed by the com-

munity followed by a Parent-and-Son banquet given by the agriculture

class. This spring a banquet was given in honor of the winning Society

in the Literary contest. We are now looking forward to two more impor-

tant events which are "The Junior-Senior" Banquet and "The Alumni

Banquet."


The Literary Societies, the Spartan and Athenaen have been very suc-

cessful this year in the accomplishment of their aim of bettering the

speaking as well as the writing of English in School. Many very enter-

taining programs, including one joint program have been given, consisting

mostly of plays, recitations, debates, songs and instrumental pieces,

through which much unexpected ability has been discovered. We hope the

societies will continue their work next year, for we feel that it is a great

asset to our school.

Bellpoint School


The Bellpoint School is continually striving to meet its ever increasing aims. Our

ideals are high ones and as we gradually realize them, new purposes arise to keep

us moving onward in this struggle for progress.


The school has many accomplishments in the various fields. Our triumphs in

athletics are to be envied. The interest in music is shown by our orchestra and ope-

rettas. Juniors and Seniors have become enthusiastic about dramatics, forming a

Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Clarine Morehouse. The Lecture Course

and community gatherings have brought the people together and aroused a cooperative

community spirit. The interest of the community is manifested by the loyal backing

they give to all school activities. The successful operation of the school has been

brought about by the spirit of cooperation shown by all.

Our Year's Work


At the beginning of the school year the most recent course of Study from the State

High School Supervisor was put into operation. This called for three new classes, Biology,

Home Economics and Manual Training. The Board of Education voted liberal appro-

priations for these new lines of work. Much interest has been shown in the additions

to our course of study and it is hoped that through co-operation of the students and

the school patrons that this type of more practical education may be even more ade-

quately taken care of next year.


At the fall election the people of the district showed their interest in the welfare

of the children by voting for a continuation of the three mill levy for a period of five

years. The favorable vote on this measure enabled the Board of Education to purchase

some much-needed equipment. A reliable encyclopedia was placed in the high school;

about seventy-five volumes were added to the library; supplementary readers were

purchased for the grades; sanitary towels have been provided; and additional seats

were secured for the auditorium. These additions to the school equipment have made

our school much more able to render full service to the youth of the community.

Our Friends


Early in the school year of 1924-25 the voters of the Brown Township School Dis-

trict renewed the three mill levy for a period of five years. The vote stood 316 for the

levy to 81 against. Confidence of this type encourages the Board of Education in its

efforts to provide the best education the Township can afford for its children. And

this, the welfare of the children, is the only standard by which any school policy can be

judged, whether it be financial or pedagogical. Dr. H. W. Nutt emphasized this in a

talk to the patrons of the district at one of the community meetings.


On Friday February 20th a conference on student teaching was held in Delaware.

The afternoon session of this conference adjourned to our school to study the type of

student teaching being done here. Among those attending were Professors of Edu-

cation from Ohio State, Columbia University, Dennison, Wooster, and Superintendents

and Principals from Columbus, Mt. Vernon, Troy, and Akron. One of these men, a

principal of a junior high school in Columbus, expressed the opinion that he had re-

ceived more definite help from this meeting than from any teacher's meeting he could

remember. When the opportunity was given the organization to appoint the meeting

at some other place next year, they voted unanimously, on motion of Superintendent

Collicot of Columbus, that they would like to return for a meeting here in October, if

the invitation were extended to them. The inspiration that such visitation brings to

a school was clearly expressed in the hearty cooperation of the high school pupils in

doing well, and without affectation, whatever duties were assigned to them.


The Board of Education has just received a letter of congratulation from the State

Department of Education has just received a letter of congratulation from the State

membership by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools at the

recent Chicago meeting.


As we reflect on these things we remember that the ladder of success is full of

slivers for those who slide back. We can only reach the next rung by industry, courage,

and cooperation, qualities that have been exhibited by the pupils, the faculty, the

parents, and the Board of Education, in the past, these are our chief grounds for hope

in the future.

Nineteen hundred twenty-four and five marks a red letter year in the history

of Hyatts High School. Three new departments were added to the high school, namely,

manual training for boys, domestic science for girls and music for all. The School

Board, in making these additions, felt that they were supplying a genuine community

need. Their wisdom in making this move has already been borne out by the splendid

advancement of the high school students along these lines.


Mr. Utley, as manual training instructor, has worked wonders in his department.

tion and perseverance of his class of boys, equipped the room second to none of the

For the girls a course in home-making has been instituted. Miss Whittier, in

charge of this department, has made of it one of the important parts of the school.

The first half of the year was devoted to sewing and along with the actual needle-

work went instruction in the selection of materials, patterns, and all those details so

dear to the hearts of women. By selling candy at basketball games the girls managed

to secure funds to equip their department with a sewing machine, pans, kettles and

other necessary articles. One day each week the girls prepare their own dinner. On

Friday of each week they serve a hot noon lunch at a nominal cost to all of the

pupils of the school.


Many are the commendations heaped upon the Board for their forethought in pro-

viding music for the school through the addition of Mrs. Jeanette Gooding-Harter to

the faculty this year. A large crowd witnessed the high school operetta, "El Bandido,"

a splendid production considering that this was the first year of any musicial training

for the cast of the play. Two grade operettas are to follow yet before the end of

the year.

History of Galena School


Three generations have passed in and out of the same Galena school building.

Barefoot farmer boys have entered and have gone out fitted to take their places as

senators, financiers and artists.


Battered by the rushing passage of time the old building presents its unlovely,

loved visage to those who have grown old and gray in its shadow, those who are in

the full prime of life, to those who are just learning the ways of the world and to the

little children who daily come in response to the summoning clang of the old bell.


For three score years it has seen the town and its inhabitants change while it

changed only at the will of the elements. Staunch and strong it has stood and will

stand for the alloted one hundred year, then collapse as the "One Hoss Shay" collapsed.

Orange School has been making modest but consistent strides toward the best

possible training both for present practical results and future pleasure and development.


The board has been cooperating and loyaly providing a new encyclopedia and

other library books for the pupils and teachers. They have also extended the laboratory

equipment so that we have a very good background for research in scientific lines.


We have had a four number lecture course consisting of the Duggin Trio, a Scotch

musical company of pleasing and human appeal. This was followed by Prof. J.H.

Dickason with an appeal for high ideals and clean living. The next number was

Miller the magician who entertained and kept guessing the children both old and young.

The final number was Abbot, an interpreter of merit who caused us to follow in jest

and earnest the little frailities of life as reflected by foreigner and Yankee in crowded

mart or secluded hamlet.


We have been pleased to have the community work with us and for us in giving

a farmers institute with farm instruction, an insight into the working of our state

legislature and with a talented program of fun and music.

The Ostrander School has been recognized as a First Grade High School for more

than twelve years. During the past year many changes were made in the faculty.

but new members of that group have found a hearty cooperation from the community

in all their undertakings. Also there has existed the most friendly feeling among the

teachers themselves which has been appreciated very much by the new superintendant.

With this kind of spirit in both school and community there is no reason why the

Ostrander High School cannot go on to better and higher things in the years to come.

The school is badly in need of a good gymnasium and more and better equipment for

the teaching of Manual Arts and Home Economics. However with the present outlook

these do not appear so far away. In a community in which the school is so well backed

as in this such needs as we now have are only a matter of time and ability to acquire.

History of the Powell High School


By the laws of the state, on the 20th day of August, 1900, the Board of Education

in Liberty Township passed a resolution to establish a High School of the third grade

at Powell. This High School had a two years' course of study for seven months each.


On the 21st day of April, 1902, the school was moved to Hyattsville where it re-

mained until 1905 when it was returned to Powell and raised to a second grade high

School.


In February, 1911, the High School was made first grade and Mr. Edgar Law

was the first superintendent. In this same year the board purchased a new site and

erected a new building at a cost of $24,880, where now over 250 children enjoy the

advantages in acquiring an education.


This school has the distinction of being the first centralized school in Delaware

County, and also the first school in the state to transport the children to and from their

home in motor driven buses.

Radnor--A Demonstration School


[photo]


Radnor High School is very fortunate in being one of the demonstration schools

of Ohio Wesleyan University.


Under this plan several of the high school courses are taught by students of the

University who are majoring in education work, and have had special training and

preparation for high school teaching.


The student teachers are closely supervised both by the University and by the

regular instructors of the various courses in the high school. The purpose of all this

supervision is to improve methods of teaching so that the pupils will derive the greatest

possible benefits from their studies.


In addition to the benefits already mentioned, Radnor's cooperation with Ohio

Wesleyan has made possible the following: a course in French by which pupils may get

out their college entrance language requirement; a course in Public Speaking; a

course in Debate; physical education, as required by law, under teachers trained for

that particular work; well trained coaches for girls' and boys' track teams; a division

of the Junior and Senior English class, making for more efficient teaching; use of

University library books; free tuition for all Radnor teachers attending night classes at

the University; and furthermore it gives substantial financial aid to our school.

3RD ROW--C. Martin, A. Barton, C. Haughn, P. Zent, J. McLead.


The present Junior Class entered high school in 1922 and naturally like all Fresh-

men they were green, very mischievous and disobedient altho they mastered their trials

and duties very well. They felt quite dignified to pass on to the Sophomore year. As

Sophomores they were very well represented in dramatics and athletics. They initiated

a large class of unruly Freshmen. The Junior year has been busy, gay and eventful.

We have proved to be excellent reporters and helped make the operetta, "Toreadors" a

success. Several members participated in the contest between the literary societies.

Other events of the year will be the Junior Class Play and the banquet in honor of the

seniors. We are full of hope for a happy and successful year when we shall be Seniors.

In the fall of 1923 our class entered high School with an enrollment of thirty.

After many trials and disappointments most of us attained the Sophomore rank. The

class has been increased by the addition of pupils from Marengo.


We have shown our ability in many different ways. Our most interesting event

of this year was the initiation of the Freshmen. In Athletics the Sophomores were

well represented. Important roles in the operetta were also filled by members of our

class.


With so many talented and capable classmates we are looking forward to the time

when we will be upper classmen.

On the first day of September 1924, forty-six Freshmen entered Ashley High

School, and in a ffew days were known as the largest and worst class in school.


After we were over our first fright, we were entertained and initiated by the

Sophomores. Their talk was larger than their deeds. We came thorough unharmed!


In Athletics three of our members made the football team, eight the basket ball

squads. We were also represented in the operetta. "Toreadors," and best of all, one

of our members represented Ashley in the Oratorical contest at Delaware.

Class Will


We, the graduating class of the High School of Berlin Township County of Dela-

ware, State of Ohio, being of full age, of unusually sound mind, and unsurpassable

memory and understanding, do make, publish, and declare, this to be our last will and

testament;


To the class of '26 as a whole we relinquish our observational seats along the

windows, and also the use of the dictionary, encyclopedias, maps et cetera.


To the sophomores we bequeath our success in books. Absorb the studious habits

which have been ours for four years and you too may arrive at the station of senior-

hood.


To the freshmen we get all of the old basketball shoes, chewing gum stuck beneath

the seats, rubbish, and any and everything which they can keep from the clutches of

the other classes.


To the following individuals we assign, to have and to hold forever, the herein men-

tioned items:


To "Skinny" Maloney, the size of Dorothy Colflesh.

To Neil Dunham, the studiousness of Clois Smith.

To Louise Furnis, the modesty of Lodemia Weaver.

To Chloe Anna James, the winning eyes of Leona Freshwater.

To Alta Ross, some of the height of Frances Johns.

To Marvin Breece, a goodly portion of the egotism of John Kendall.

To Laurens Davenport, a little of the wisdom of Robt. Oehler.

To Herbert Lackey, some of the trickiness of Hugh Veley in basket ball.

To Mildred Piatt, the cheerfulness of Mary Schank.

To the faculty, all of the many bright gems of thought developed by us in class

work and examinations.

In witness, we the class of '25, the testators, have here unto set our hand and seal

on this seventeenth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five.


Signed, The Seniors

TOP--Homer Sherman, Florence Weaver, Edward Griffith.


MIDDLE--Laurens Davenport, Florence Reeder, Mildred Piatt, Mary Sherman,

Neil Dunham.


BOTTOM--Glorine Boner, Alice Evans, Ruth Bukey, Chloe Anna James, Louise

Furnis.


We are the freshmen of 1922, grown into juniorhood. Now we are wiser and have

accomplished much in our three years of study. The entire school is proud of the

athletes in our class. Our class is well represented on both teams. We have attained

highest honors as the Berlin "cutups".


As each of us have chosen our ambitions early, I will list them: Neil, "to be a

clown," Bill, "to get through;" Glorine, "to be a musician;" Ed, "to be a preacher;"

Mick, "to grow thin;" Chloe Anna, "to grow taller;" Homer, "to gain speed;" Louise,

"to stay in love;" "Mary E., " to be an old maid;" Florence, "to own a beauty parlor;"

Ruth, "to have dates;" Alice, "to be a cook;" and lastly, the thirteenth of our class,

Dutch Weaver, "to get a girl."


The Sophomore Class


TOP--Leo Maloney, Herbert Lackey, Joseph Woods, James Hubbard.


MIDDLE--Geneve Bockoven, Louise McNett, Lucille Lackey, Mary Rodenfels,

May Davidson.


BOTTOM--Alta Ross, Florence Dominy, David Taylor, Elda Jones, Mary Yantis.


Mima Shade, the matron of the class, is followed by May that quiet and studious

little maid. Florence Dominy, Our giggling treasurer, chases in the pennies. Leo,

the "Sheik," was elected vice-president by the girls' vote. Alta Ross renders first aid

to the injured, While Herbert, the class sky-scrapper, is the star shot. Mary and

Geneva, our class beauties, charm and yet startle, "Jim" and "Pat" with their artful

complexions. Miss Lackey's "radio" broadcasts the news to all the class. David, the

president, won his popularity by ever-ready jokes and clever gestures. The class

mystery centers around what Elda Jones uses to make his hair stick to his head so

closely. Mary is writing a book on, "Why Ceasar did not Die in Infancy." Lastly,

Louise McNett is demonstrating the economy of buying powder in the bulk.


Louise McNett


The Freshman Class


TOP--Kendall Kennedy, Cecil Rice, Walter Davenpoprt, Marvin Breece.


MIDDLE--Laneva Collins, Garnet Evans, Harlan Hall, Winston Alkire, Annamay

Farmer, Marie Williams, Carrie Davidson.


BOTTOM--Beatrice McNett, Ruth Trigg, Miriam Fickel, Loma James, Kenneth

Reed, Betty Jane Kennedy.


We are eighteen in number, eight boys and ten girls. We poor tiny freshmen have

recovered from the fear which hovered over us until after the "initiation" which the

upper classes insisted upon giving us at the freshman party. We now feel at home

in the high school and have won the admiration of the "smart" sophomores, conceited

juniors, and wise seniors.


The first semester passed rapidly and the mid-year exams proved no obstacle to

our progress. We are studying hard and anxiously looking forward for the finals

whereby we will be able to prove our right to promotion on into sophomorehood.

______


Fourteen innicent and ambitious boys and girls entered Galena High school in the

fall of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-four. We were received in open arms and made

welcome in electric chairs. We were shocked 'tis true, but we started out determined

to overcome all difficulties and had no desire but to learn. Judging from our grades

and smiles of approval from our teachers, we are a promising class that G. H. S.

may well be proud of.

JUNIOR


"Not what we were but what we hope to be," is the thought that is continually

revolving in the minds of the Junior Class as we tread the hard-beaten path of know-

ledge, moving step by step until we reach our senior year of nineteen hundred and

twenty-six.

We began our high school career as a body of ten Freshies, with a willingness

to endure the slams and rebuffs of the upper classmen.

About the middle of our Freshman year, we are sorry to say, we lost two of our

classmates.

The second year eight of our members returned and were glad to welcome a new

member, Jessie Williams.

This year seven returned and were glad to welcome into our midst again, Hilda

Hancock.

We have tried to make our stay here profitable and cheerful, and may we never be

satisfied with anything less than the best.

We passed thru our Freshman year with out losing any of our classmates, with

whom we had gone thru school.

In 1924 we entered the Sophomore year, very proud to think we had studied our

way thru. Now we are thirteen strong, and we all hope we will live up to our motto,

Onward, Ever, Upward.

CLASS POEM

Four years have passed We thought High School better

In this dear old High: As farther we went;

Time has flown fast, That these ties we now sever,

The last day is nigh. We can only repent.


When freshmen we tried We thank all our teachers

Our new tasks to do; And bid them adieu,

We fretted and sighed, As we do all school features

Finally got through. And the friends that we knew.

Dorothy Hall '25

CLASS POEM

The Junior Class, as may be seen, C stands for Charlie Penry,

Is, after all, not very green. He courts girls in his Henry.

Arthur in Science quite excells, A nice little boy is Truman Bell,

This his grade card surely tells. Helen's his girl; now don't you tell

Johnson is our athlete, Raymond's hobby seems to be

For his size he can't be beat. Taking Charlotte out to tea.

Iona is studying domestic science Now Berniece says (aint it a pity?)

So she and Eddie can form an alliance. That she would rather live in the city.

You have heard the motto "Say it with

flowers": After these facts in great profusion,

"Say it by Beatrice" is ours. You can draw you own conclusion.

CLASS POEM

We started with twenty-one members, We work very hard when we work,

But the way seemed hard and long; We play very hard when we play;

Bye and bye some fell by the wayside, When we try to do both together

Leaving us thirteen, wise and strong. We get in each other's way.


We are very wise in English, Of course we aspire to greatness,

And very mischievous, too, We would climb up the ladder of fame;

Sometimes we torment Miss Whittier We may seem to be going up slowly

Till she scarce knows what to do. But we'll get there just the same.

CLASS POEM

Oh, we know that we're small, But please just go slow

And not very tall, And give us a show,

And as green as the grass on the hill; So far we've grown up in the woods;

We know that we're dumb, Just give us a chance,

Our looks on the bum, We'll make you all dance

And so crazy we cannot sit still. For we can deliver the goods.

The Class of '25 of Orange High School numbered fifteen upon entering the fresh-

man year, namely, Richard Joslin, Charles Joslin, Rolin Evans, Ruth Shultz, Mary

Boyd, Rachel Nease, Mabel Rainier, Thelma Rogers, Harold Morgan, Wallace Ingram,

Dale McCreary, Kenneth Sale, Edgar Bagley and Edward Salts. Then in November

of the same year we added another, Harold Phinney, to our class making it number

sixteen. During the year our ranks were thinned by the loss of Dale McCreary and

Thelma Rogers.


Our sophomore year proved better than the freshman year. We took part in Literary

and other activities of the school. The hill proved too steep for some, however, so they

consented to wait and pilot the next freshman class through its strenuous year.

When we entered our junior year another was added to our class, Kenneth Fickel.

A few parties were held which all attended and had a good time. All passed the mid-year

exams with fairly good grades. The Junior-Senior banquet was held April 11, 1924.


Only nine of the previous fifteen entered the Senior year with Senior standing.

By hard work we were able to give the school a lecture course that was a marked

success. Nothing of importance has marked this year except maybe Mr. Southwicks

quizzes, but we are looking forward to the great event of most importance--our

Commencement exercises and graduation after which we can say, "when we graduated

from Orange in '25, why ............."

In 1922 fourteen boys and girls entered high school as Freshmen. The initiation

the Sophomores gave us was a terrorizing affair but we all recovered. The operetta

"Windmills of Holland" was given and many of our class were in the cast. As Soph-

omores we received the Freshmen into the school and we did not "Say It With Flow-

ers." "In Old Louisiana" was given and again many of our classmates took part.

As Juniors we claim the prettiest girl, the best athlete and the best talker in the

school. As Seniors we expect to make an unbeatable record.

SOPHOMORES


In the year 1923 the Sophomores entered High School with:

Helen Barger Gennell McPeak Victoria Van Skoy

Mildred Barger Elizabeth Miller Carrol Lamme

Avis Bell Grace Newhouse Stuart Larcomb

Edith Inskeep Mary Nunamker Vernon Mills

Armilda Johnson Ivaloo Smart Linnaeus Ponds


In the year of 1923 the Sophomores entered the High School with an enrollment

of fourteen, but due to failures by some of the pupils of the preceding years class our

number was increased to twenty-one. When we entered school we were full of pep,

but towards the end of the second semester we began to grow weary and four of our

members, who thought they had obtained all the knowledge necessary, left the re-

maining seventeen to travel the hard pathway alone. So this year we entered the

Sophomore Class with an enrollment of seventeen. The first event of the year was

the reorganization of our class. Next came the "Freshmen-Sophomore Banquet" in

which we all took an active part. Sorry to say but the next event which took place

was the Senior-Final Exams in which we did our best. During the second semester

we lost four of our members, but gained one giving us again an enrollment of four-

teen. The Sophomores of this year have shown their ability in dramatics as four of

our members played leading roles in the Operettas, "In the Garden of the Shah." In

Athletics we have also been well represented as five girls and three boys help make

up the Basket Ball Quintets.

On September 8th of 1925 the Freshmen entered O. H. S. with thirteen members.

We were looking for bad luck but we gained two, then lost two. We still have just

thirteen but "Good Luck" is our mascot. We had a meeting and decided on "Sweet

Peas" for our class flower, "Old Rose and Gray" class colors, and "Live and Learn"

for our motto. Laura Mackan, Evelyn Slocum, and Martha Poling were chorus girls,

and George Jacobs, Alfred Newhouse and Edmon Freshwater were chorus boys in

the operetta, "In the Garden of the Shah" Marian Duncan played the piano for the

operetta. A girl and a boy from the Freshmen class were on the Basket Ball Teams.

Powell Senior Class History


In the fall of 1913 about thirty-five rosy cheeked boys and girls started their school

career with Miss Duffy. By her help and patience we passed, into the third grade

with Miss Pheneger as teacher. After two years there, we were promoted not only to

the fifth grade, but "up-stairs" which seemed to us a great leap on Education's ladder.

We worked hard for Miss Lucy and Miss Johnson in this room, and were promoted,

after two years, to Mr. Grace where we were prepared for a successful High School

career.


In the spring of 1921 only twelve of our number, six boys and six girls, entered

High School, and now as we are about to enter the College doors our number has

dwindled to six.


This period of High School life, we consider as one great step toward success.


Mr. Noble was superintendent the year we were Freshmen, then Mr. Wheeler

came and has been here through the remainder of our High School days. It has been

his patient hand that has led us to success in High School.


Our Motto is: "Our Aim To Win, Our Hope Success."


May it be so!

Mabel Case, '25


SENIOR CLASS POEM


We have six Seniors in the P. H. S.

If we don't study, I miss my guess;

For our wish is, to have great success

Though some of our meetings have been a mess.


Ralph Wright is our president, as we all know,

And when it comes to talking, he likes to blow;

On the basket ball team he is always fast

And played a good game up to the last.


In our class Robert Perry is at the head,

At eight o'clock each night, he's always in bed;

When a note flies by, we all look at Bob

To have good conduct he finds quite a job.


Bill McKitrick is always ready to tease

And in a class meeting is hard to please;

When in a difficulty, he will help you out

Smiling is his hobby; you never see him pout.


Marie Blaney is the artist of our class,

Compete with her? She's hard to surpass;

She whispers and argues, but gets a high grade

I suppose it's the way of this innocent maid.


Next in line we have Mabel Case

Attentive in class--and always in her place.

When she is questioned she rolls her eyes

And of course the teacher thinks she is wise.


Florence Bolander is another brave little girl

Who is always finding in life a new thrill;

Cross-word puzzles are her best delight

If she doesn't do that; she likes to fight.


This is our line up, as you will see,

Our aim is success, I hope it will be.


Florence Bolander, '25.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY

When we started with Miss Duffy we were a "big bunch" of little folks, but some

failed, others moved away, and still others gave up school until we had only twelve

left, when we entered High School.


At present we have the distinction of being the biggest Class in the High School,

and, we are striving to keep it so.

JUNIOR HISTORY

All the members of the Junior Class began their career together under the compet-

ent hand of Miss May Duffy. We gained and lost many of our members, but entered

High School with an enrollment of twelve. The work proved too difficult for some

which caused our number to be lessened. During our Sophomore Year our number

was again diminished by two. Our Junior year, so far, has been quite successful.

Our class play, "The Superior Miss Pellender" which was given on the nineteenth of

March was a great success. We hope our small number can cling together for the

remainder of our school days at Powell High School.

FRESHMEN HISTORY


The upper classmen jeer at me,

With Manifold derison.

I get into my classes wrong,

My feet seem huge, My legs too long,

I'm always in collision.


But even at that the Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-four class is not the greenest

class that ever entered the portals of P. H. S. we are sorry to say that we have not all

spent all our school days in the grades together. The work was too difficult for some

and others moved away. We all were proud to be featured in several cantatas and

plays during our grade work. We entered High School with twelve members and in

later years we hope to look back upon our first year in High School as a success.

Sunbury's Seniors


Ralph Piper -- "Sniper." Here we have an active and energetic young man, who puts

work before pleasure. He has had a varied experience with Cupid, and can win fem-

inine hearts at any peril. -- Boyd Hoskinson. Here we have a man to manipulate the

spheroid in most any fashion. He has distinguished himself in Baseball and Basket-

ball, altho he pays some respects to the fair sex. -- Frank VanAuken. "Nauky" wants

to be different. He is somewhat of a "fusser," and likes to have the girls like him. He

sings beautifully, dabbles in athletics, and does some bluffing in class. -- Ernest Fivaz.

Altho "Frenchy" is of a quiet nature and takes life rather easy, yet he has the cus-

tomary amount of school spirit. He has lately come into prominence as a cartoonist.

-- Virgil Blaine. "Heck" is quite a lady's man, ie. it seems so. He has never been

known to miss a game or lecture unless there is a dance somewhere in or out of town.

-- Russell Weiss. "Doc" is our best known class president. Not over fond of study,

which perhaps has caused his slightly bad disposition, still he's might constant; -- ask

Bunice. -- Owen Meredith. Another of our quiet, demure Seniors. He has strong con-

victions on certain problems, and adhere's strictly to them. He has dabbled in Basket-

ball and Track, but only as a means of recreation. -- Walter Weiss. "Sherm" has quite

a bit of musical ability, and delights to warble melodiously. He also manages to get

his lessons with no more than the usual amount of bluffing. -- Herbert Deering. Some

people consider him slow, but they are wrong. When he does make up his mind, he

goes after thing with invincible determination. You never can tell about these slow

people. -- Harold White. "Jim" is a fine fellow--good in his classes and fine in ath-

letics. He has never distinguished himself as a "fusser" but treats the fair sex oc-

casionally. -- Kenneth Roof. "Clumsy" says, "Make it short and sweet, so here goes."

Give him a girl above all else, and plenty of time to primp. -- Nelson Laughery. "Hook"

is truly a scholar, but not a book worm. Girls and athletics never form a part of his

program. -- Deane Barker. "Skip" is a remarkable combination of everything, includ-

ing "lady killer." He is a harmonious boy with ruddy cheeks, musician's hair, and a

smile like a spoonsful of strawberry dope on a hot day. -- Mason Hayes. "Rosie is a

good gentle soul, who can always be depended upon to do the right thing. He devotes

his affectionate attentions to Galena High School. -- Howard Cring. "Squire" meets you

on the street with a smile, and speaks with that same smile in his voice. He has not

distinguished himself in anything unless it be pole vaulting. -- Walter Harold. "Shor-

ty" is a native of Sunbury. He is small but somewhat mighty. He likes English, but

shines in Caesar. He plays Baseball, and is always found on the second team. -- Mil-

dred Lahmon. "Millie" is a quiet, retiring girl but with a good deal of determination.

She is domestic in her tastes, and could make a home paradise for some lucky fellow.

-- Virginia Strosnider. "Ginnie" is a very quiet girl. We hope she will find the right

fellow and settle down near Sunbury where we can go and see her occasionally. -- Bun-

ice Vermillion. "Bunie" is one of our bright stars socially. She is graceful and tal-

ented. We do not see at present just how Sunbury is going to do without her, but

there will be a way provided. -- Ethel Mathews. "Buddie' looks as tho she never saw

the dark side of anything. She gets into things just enough to show the proper spirit

without being ambitious. She is one of those rare persons who stand for quality. --

Frances Perfect. "Bobbie" is interested in all that concerns the school, especially ath-

letics. She is always out for a good time. She distinguished herself this year in the

girls Basketball team. -- Phyllis Fraser. "Phil" says there are many ways to obtain

sheet music. Some folks buy their own, some have it given to them,--but suffice it to

say that Phil handles the piano like a Liszt. -- Russell A'Neals. "Rusty" is unsettled

as to what to do,--to go to school or to work, but he thinks it is the most fun to go to

school and live C. O. D.

Athletics

From a volunteer to a brigad-

ier - general thru sheer merit was

the record Rutherford B. Hayes made

for himself during the Civil War.

His inherent qualities of leadership

and cool-headedness under fire turn-

ed back Morgan's raid into this state,

July 14, 1863 at Cinncinati. This

same trait of grit and determination

is expressed by the athletic teams

of Delaware County in turning

back an adversary.

The County Schedule


Probably no county in the state is so well organized in athletics as

Delaware County. Having twelve good high schools of about equal size

and all connected by a good road system, this county is well able to carry

on a well formulated schedule. Basketball is the major sport in all these

twelve schools, although football, baseball and track come in for their

share of honors. In the early part of the year the athletic committee,

composed of Arthur S. Postle, chairman, M. V. Thrush and Judson Siddal

made out a basketball schedule whereby every team in the county should

play every other team. This was to hold for girls' teams as well as for

boys' teams. Six county referees were hired to officiate at the games.

The committee is making out the schedule tried to arrange so that every

school would have half its games at home and half away from home and

in so far as possible the games to alternate one at home and one away

from home on succeeding Friday nights. All teams of the county agreed

to join the Ohio Athletic Association and to be governed by the rules of

that body in all contests.


A spirit of friendly rivalry prevailed among the schools. Never was

a basketball season so characterized by good-sportsmanship as the season

of 1924-1925. The participating teams to a man showed themselves to be

good winners or good losers as the case might be. Visiting teams were

considered as guests of the home teams and given every consideration for

their comfort. Probably no one factor has brought the embers of the

different communities together so well as the county schedule and tourna-

ment. May the county schedule games and the tournament long be a per-

manent part of the county school organization.


Bellpoint, last year's and this year's state champions, showed during

the progress of the county league games that they were going to be again

the strong team that they were last year. They finished first in the

league, winning all their games. Hyatts, with an almost green team this

year, came under the wire second, exhibiting in all their earlier games a

fast brand of basketball. It is their proud boast that they even led the

Bellpoint team in the first half of the Bellpoint-Hyatts game by a three

point margin.


Orange, placing third in the league, showed the first fast team from

that school in history. Small, unseasoned and inexperienced, they devel-

oped into one of the fastest and best passing teams of the county.


The County Schedule was a success in every way this year, furnishing

motivation for good healthy exercise on the part of the pupils, supplying

capital for the schools to equip their teams and renew their libraries and

such, and building up in every school that school spirit so necessary for

the successful school.

Boys' Basketball Tournament


February twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth, in Edward's Gymnasium was held

the Delaware County Tournament. Every one of the twelve centralized high schools

had their team entered for the annual tilt. Bellpoint was, of course, picked as a prob-

able winner but the matter of the runner-up was not so easy to guess. Hyatts was

favored to come back to the District Tournament as the County's other representative,

since this team had finished second in the league standing. Orange and Ostrander

were considered strong contenders for the second honors.


The drawing for places took place in Coach Gauthier's office. Each superintend-

ent hoped to draw for his team one of the boys which necessarily would come in the

first round came when Sunbury eliminated the Hyatts team. The Hyatts bunch had

These teams went into the second round of the tournament without playing a game.


Galena and Radnor started off the classic with the first game. There never was

any doubt of the outcome of the game, Galena easily taking and holding the lead.

Bellpoint was playing Powell at the same time on the other court. Powell put up a

game scrap against their superior opponents but could hardly hope to cope with the

speedy red team. Bellpoint easily won. The only upset of the dope bucket of the

first round came when Sunbury eliminated the Hyatts team. The Hyatts bunch had

been handicapped by sickness and seemed unable to find themselves and get going

throughout the whole game. Ostrander took an easy game from Berlin to complete

the first round games.


Brown and Center Village, both drawers of byes, started off the second round

Friday night. The Brown basketeers easily took the Harlem township lads into camp.

At the same time Bellpoint was downing the fighting Galena organization. Galena

gave Bellpoint the hardest run perhaps that the champions had throughout the tourna-

ment but even at that had the score more than doubled on them. Ostrander and Sun-

bury fought one of the best games of the tournament, the west county team however de-

feating that from the east. Orange won from Ashley by a small margin.


In the first game of the semi-finals the seasoned Bellpoint aggregation doubled

the score on the Brown five. The lads from Kilbourne showed a good brand of bas-

ketball however considering their showing earlier in the season. Ostrander won the

right to play in the final game by downing Orange in one of the good games of the

series.


The final game between Bellpoint and Ostrander was a faster game than the score

would indicate. Ostrander entered the game with vim and determination and demon-

strated beyond a doubt their right to come back to the district tournament. Their

chances to down the champions were hopeless however. Bellpoint dropped in long

baskets that will seemingly and at time showed fine passwork in bringing the ball

down to their end of the floor for sucker shots. The game proved Bellpoint's claim

to be another champion team.


In the District Tournament at Delaware Ostrander fell by the wayside leaving

Bellpoint to win that tournament and later the State Tournament at Columbus. The

county is proud to have produced a team that has twice carried off the highest honors

of the state. Congratulations to the Bellpoint squad and to their coach, Mr. Zimmer.

Bellpoint -- County and State Champions

______________________


With all but two of last year's Championship team back and with an

abundance of good material to fill these vacancies, Bellpoint bid well to

repeat her last year's record of consecutive victories. The team was

greatly handicapped by illness but managed to run all their scheduled

games and entered the Tri-State Tournament at Cincinnati. Here they

were defeated in the fourth round of play. Not to be dismayed they set-

tled down to work for the State Tournament and handily won the County

and District title for the third consecutive year and the State title for the

second. In the two years' playing, 66 games were won and 1 lost. Mc-

Millen, Macklin, Thomas Moore, Cox and Bean are playing their last year.

Prospects for next year's team are not as encouraging as last year but

nevertheless the team should be heard from in County cirlces.

Sunbury Boys' Basketball

[photo]

We enjoy a certain degree of pleasure when we review the basketball season of

1924-25. During this season the Sunbury boys played twenty-two games and won

sixteen. They scored 532 points to their opponent's 380. Their average was 728 per-

cent.


The following are members of the squad: Boyd Hoskinson at lg., was very reliable

in guarding his zone, good in recovering the ball and passing it out for fast offense.

His place will be hard to fill.


Russell Weiss was fast, heady, and a good shot. He was above the average when

it came to passing, for his passes were well timed. Weiss made all-county guard.


Our right forward was Ralph Piper, Capt. He was one of our main cagers. He

was alert in breaking for the open, and usually managed to cut under the basket at the

right time.


Probably no player on the team was as versatile as Walter Weiser. Walter could

adapt himself to the different methods of offense and defense with ease. Weiser put

up a great game against Galena and Hyatts as right guard.


Harold White, our center, was close and aggressive at guarding. He was one of

the main factors which put the vim and punch in the Sunbury offense.


Burrell Patrick showed marked ability as a guard. He was alert in recovering

the ball, and used good judgment in passing, and has good form in shooting.


Ernest Fivaz played center and forward. Ernest has the abilities and qualities

of a good basketball player. In the Bellpoint game his guarding floor work and passing

was above the average.


Altho Owen Meredith seldom played on the first team, yet by his alertness and

speed he was a very valuable man on the squad.


We can also appreciate the efforts of other second team men, such as Fivaz,

Whitney, Lee, Beaver, Fontanelle, Van Auken and Burrer.

Girls' County Tournament

_________________


A County Tournament was held for the girls' teams of the county this year at

the same time and in connection with the boys' tournament. The tournament was

managed by Coach Gauthier of Ohio Wesleyan and was held in Edward's Gymnasium

of that school. Every one of the twelve county high schools had an entry.


There were four byes placed in the first round of games and Brown, Ashley,

Powell and Orange were the lucky teams, all going into the second round of games

without having to play.


The very first game was a complete upset of the dope when Center Village, after

showing up rather poorly in the county schedule, eliminated the fast Radnor team by

a margin of one point. Berlin and Bellpoint, the other two outstanding teams, came

through the first round successfully. Also Hyatts by defeating Ostrander, though

overwhelmed by that team in a scheduled game two weeks previous to the tournament,

won their way to the second round.


The second round was full of surprises. Brown defeated Ashley by two points.

Then the scrappy Center Village team defeated Berlin by a seven point margin. Ber-

lin had been picked by many to win the tournament. Efficient guarding and the

shooting of the tall center on the Harlem Township team dashed the hopes of Berlin.

The third game of this round was yet the greatest surprise of all. Bellpoint, last

year's champions and the leader in the county league this year, was forced to bow to

defeat under the fierce offensive of the Hyatts girls. In this game Hyatts first showed

the speed that was destined to win for them the cup. In the last game of the round

Powell defeated Orange in a slow game.


The third round, or semi-finals saw the defeat of the plucky Center Village team,

that had downed two formidable foes, by the Brown team. Hyatts easily won from

the Powell delegation.


In the final game in the evening the regulars of the Hyatts team failed to appear

when the game was called. One regular and three substitutes, four in all, were all

Coach Postle had on hand to start the game. Against such a representation Brown

started their scoring machine working and by the end of the first quarter had run up

a half dozen points while Hyatts had failed to mark. By the second quarter the miss-

ing Hyatts players had appeared and were at once enlisted in the fight. By the end

of the half Hyatts was trailing by one point only Brown failing to score again. The

end of the game saw the Hyatts basketeers leading by the safe margin of five points

and carrying the coveted cup to a resting place in the Hyatts archives.

We are little but mighty--a team composed almost en-

tirely of inexperienced girls from the Freshmen and Soph-

omore classes. We were able to hold down veteran teams

of near giants, to very close scores. So far from being

ashamed of our record we are proud of our score books

(especially the backs of old letters that were used for the

first game.)


A team of fighters, playing for the love of the game,

and taking our whippings without a murmur, we'll blow our

horn if no one else will.


Just watch our step next year.

County Oratorical Contest


Again the world is saved for another year. That is, if said world

will accept and put in practice the advice of the twelve budding orators

who dispensed the truth concerning the great problems of the universe at

the annual oratorical contest held in Gray Chapel, Friday evening, April

24, 1925.


There is no star too distant for our ambitious high school student to

attempt to lasso and harness to his oratorical wagon; no grandiloquent

utterance of a statesman, laboring under the stress of tragic events, that

he can not use for harness. And yet when we look over the subjects of

the orations and listen to the pleas of these effervescent young people, we

realize that their ardor is the ardor of those who have not been chilled

by the cold indifference of standpatism, and their candor, the candor of

those who believe, in their innocence, that the truth will make men free.


The contest was a close one. By rankings, Henrietta Van Gundy of

Bellepoint School tied with Beatrice McCumber of Hyatts for first place.

Only by referring to the percentage markings of the judges could this tie

be broken. This plan gave Miss McCumber first place and Miss Van

Gundy second. Mason Hayes of Sunbury took third place. There was

not a wide range in grades, from highest to lowest; all handled their sub-

jects very creditably.


Miss McCumber's oration was entitled "Legalized Murder," and was

an appealing plea for the abondment of capital punishment in Ohio. We

will stand aside and let the orator herself speak. "It is almost unbeliev-

able that we can live in the twentieth century, in a so called Christian

state, in the center of a Christian country and yet renounce all Christian

teachings to the extent that we, as a state take into our hands that ven-

geance which is God's alone. For 'Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.'

It must be hard for the chaplain of the penitentiary to try to soothe the

condemned man by telling him that "God is love' and that thru Christ,

all sins may be forgiven; when the laws of Ohio will not forgive, nor

even give the man the rest of his natural lifetime to make his peace with

God. Christ, the Great Teacher, once had occasion to say 'he who is with-

out sin among you, let him first cast a stone.' What would Christ's stand

be toward capital punishment, were he an Ohio citizen today?" * * *

"Yet so long as we sanction the present law we are joint executioners

along with the one who actually does the killing. If we believe in Ohio,

and I'm sure we do, we will want it to be the fairest and cleanest state in

the union and a state to be proud of. To do that each one of us must

bring our influence to bear thru the home, the club, the school, the church

and the ballot, to remove from the future pages of Ohio's history that

stain of legalized murder, known as capital punishment."


And when we remember that all of the orations were on this high

plane of earnest thinking why should we worry about our young people--

more power to them.


In spite of the closeness of the contest there was very general satis-

faction with the result and the whole county congratulates Miss McCumber

upon her success and Hyatts school upon its product.

Agriculture


________


Smith-Hughes Agriculture is rapidly gaining in favor in the state as is shown

by the number of applications that are received annually for new departments. There

are now 154 departments in the state with a total enrollment of 3,900 boys; and plans

now under way will increase the number of departments to 200 for the coming school

year.


Twenty-five boys enrolled in the department at Ashley last Fall. The vocational

course consists of one year courses in each of the following: Animal Husbandry,

Farm Crops and Horticulture, Farm engineering, Farm Shop, elected generally in the

Sophomore year. One and one-fourth credits are given for each course except Farm

Shop.


The Smith-Hughes judging team, Merlin Martin, Curtis Martin, Marvin Hack,

and Blaine Bishop maintained the formes record of Ashley in the State Judging Con-

test at the State Fair. They won second place competing with one hundred Smith

Hughes teams and received $100.00 and a beautiful pennant as a prize. This makes

second place five years in succession and third place the first year. The Club judging

team, Curtis Martin, Marvin Hack and Blaine Bishop won the club judging contest

at the International Livestock Show at Chicago during the first week of December.

Enthusiasm has run high in club work at Ashley. Lawrence Bishop, Martin

Hack, and Clifford Dray each won trips to the International as prizes in the Pig Club.

Malavon Dennis, Helen Martin and Mary Hurlow won trips to Chicago as prize win-

ners in the girls sewing club.


Mr. Hugh Bishop accompanied the local instructor to Chicago and assisted in

caring for the group of twelve that represented Ashley at the International. They

joined the 1500 other boys and girls from all over the United States and Canada and

had one of the busiest weeks of their lives.


The Community is to be congratulated on making possible this trip and showing

such a wonderful spirit of corporation by uniting the various community agencies to

make the trip possible. The boys and girls had the opportunity of hearing men of

wealth, industry, and influence talked in terms of things international in scope and

surely gave them a broader vision of accomplishing things worth while. All this

should result in more concentrated effort, even in their High School work.

Kilbourne Boy Scout Troop No. 1, 1924-25


Kilbourne Troop No. 1, Boy Scouts of America, entered upon its second year in

scouting in February, 1924 with the same zest which characterized its action when

organized in the same month of 1923. Some 40 boys had had training during the year

and in the reorganization, seniors in high school dropped out and seventh grade boys

entered, the troop starting with 32 boys for the second year. The four patrols com-

peted twice during the year in points scored in tests and good turns performed. The

Lions and Foxes shared honors in the events. The program for the year in addition to

the prescribed scoutcraft included weekly meetings for fun and work, a summer camp

for 15 members some distance from home, a Lyceum course of five numbers financed

and arranged for the community, a leading part in an Athletic Badge Contest for the

School, demonstrations of flag etiquette and first aid work for community gatherings,

participation in patriotic celebrations, guest meetings for mothers and fathers, hikes

and attendance at the Columbus Scout Circus. The Citizens' Scout Committee and

School officials have endorsed the work for the third year and 30 boys from the sixth

grade to the juniors in High School have signed enrollment blanks for 1925-26.

A Girl Scout Fair Tale


Once upon a time there was a little Girl Scout Troop. Now, as every wise person

must surely know, the Girl Scouts are very near kin to the fairies. The fairies have

a good queen whom they adore, but the Girl Scouts have a captain, to whom they tell

their joys and woes and whom they too adore.


Oh! but I've made a big mistake. This merry troop is no longer little. It has

leaped from a dwarf of eight members to a giant of twenty-four scouts in a truly

miraculous fashion. But although it is larger, it is still the happiest, thriftiest, friend-

liest, busiest, and most useful Scout Troop in the whole, wide world.


These Girl Scouts have a way about them of making a game of all their work,

so if you would hear them tell it you would think that they were always playing.

But they really brighten their corner of this jolly old world a great deal.


Of course it is a heap easier for any one to be gay in the spring, let alone Fairies

and Girl Scouts. Therefore the jocund troop has settled down to good hard work on

tests. Already there have been many pins earned. So now we will leave them, and

perhaps some other time I will have another happy tale to tell about the Gay Girl Scout

Troop of Kilbourne.

Orange Literary Societies


When the Freshmen entered High School and found they were to participate in

literary societies they resented the fact to a small degree but through the assurance

and help of the older and more experience students they went in and showed their

hidden abilities to an increasing advantage. As entertainers in the musical line there

were a few outstanding individuals. In fact when the time came for the last literaries

we think the Freshmen really were looking for more worlds to conquer.


Such is the aim of our literary societies--not to be drudges but pleasures to per-

formers and others that listen and get help and instruction from what they hear.

After each program we had a critic who was rather severe on loafers but those that

deserved praise got it which encouraged them to go even farther and earn more suc-

cesses in the future.


Among the outstanding features in the course of the literaries were two debates.

One was "Resolved, that capital punishment should be abolished" another was "Re-

solved, that the city is the best place for a child to grow up." These were well de-

livered and interesting. Our debate teams were said by many to be equal to previous

county teams.

Orange


Orange High School has been rapidly progressing in all literary line due to hard

work and good coaching by Supt. Southwick. Orange won both county debates. The

affirmative team from Hyatts, 3-0, the negative team from Bellpoint, 2-1 on the

question of the League of Nations. As there will not be any debates this year we

will not have the chance to do the same work and win as marked a success as last

year. Our orator for last year, Oscar Clymer, received second honors. This year our

orator is Mae Phinney and her subject if "Lift Thine Eyes."


Our literary work ths year seems to have developed better debates than formerly.

There has been evident a spirit of friendly rivalry between our literary societies thereby

insuring equal development for both. In the program which our literaries gave jointly

on March 13, 1925, ten were chosen from the Philomathean and nine from the Lincoln

society. However the Lincolns evened up the count by having a member of their

society chosen as county orator for this year. Those people picked for special work

on the program were picked according to the ability shown in the literary programs

of the year.


Credit in the program should especially be given to Mabel Rainier who showed

outstanding ability in her different parts in singing. Also Estelene Clymer was chosen

for a reading in the beginning because about twice in the past year she has proved

an effective pacemaker. Agner Clymer has proved one of the most versatile. She

merriment we depended about on the four High School classes.

This one act play was given to show troubles the faculty have in maintaining

discipline.

Some young college girls decide to give a party for their young gentlemen friends

in spite of the matron and faculty supervision. Kathleen, the Irish maid discovers the

girls plot and helps them out by lending a clothes-basket to draw the young men up

from the ground. Jonas, the janitor or handy-man lends a rope with which to pull up

the young gentlemen.

Prof. Edgerton discovers the basket, gives the signal and is pulled half-way up

before the girls discover who it is.

Life action is added to the party when the matron walks into the room.

Class Poem


The Senior class with Vim and pep

Has gone throughout the years

We've always tried to watch our step

Amid the throngs of cheers.


The Juniors oh! so mighty good

Could not be surpassed

Although at times were very rude

They were never outclassed.


We now go to the Sophomore class

The wittiest of them all

Go try to find another

No other could we call.


We must not forget the Freshman crowd

Striving to do the best

At times they felt discouraged

But always stood the test.


To all ye classes, throughout the past

Have done the best that could be expected

When out in the world the work they do

We hope will never be neglected.


Valeta Winston, '25.

The Sunbury Glee Club


The Glee Club is one of the outstanding organizations in the school. It affects a

larger number of the students than any of the other extra curriculum activities, since

from its very nature a larger number can take part.


The success of the organization is due largely to the capable leadership of Mr.

Neilson, who has supervised the music in the High School for a number of years. The

operetta "Polished Pebbles" which was given in April of last year was one of the finest

performances that has been given here in recent years. Mr. Neilson is ably

assisted in his work with the club by Miss Houston, who is also pianist for the organ-

ization.


The Glee Club has been active this year, having rendered its services during the

special meetings held at each of the local churches during the winter. The climax

of the Club's season will come when they present the operetta "The Pioneer Papoose"

in the new auditorium sometime in the early part of May. This entertainment may

also be given at some of the neighboring villages if time permits.


The Club has worked hard, and deserves a great deal of credit for the work it

has done. We hope that it will continue in its good work, and feel sure of its success

while under its present leadership.


THE ORCHESTRA


The Orchestra also responds to Mr. Neilson's baton, which quite frequently takes

the form of a clarinet. It has helped out a great deal in providing music at our High

School exercises. We hope that next year a larger number may be enrolled in this

organization.


BASE BALL


Sunbury High School has long been recognized through out the county for her

championship base ball teams. Last year her team was as successful as of yore, de-

feating such high class teams as Johnstown, Galena, Hyatts and Centerburg. She

suffered defeat at the hands of Aquias High of Columbus by a score of 4-2. Similar

to all athletic teams she has a few outstanding stars who merit words of praise.


Hoskinson--Catcher--One of the best base ball players in our county. He is our

"clean up" man, and the best slugger on the team. He has that rare gift, "base ball

brains."

Clark--Pitcher--A find for the future. He has worlds of smoke, and plenty of

curve.

Weiss--Pitcher--As a High School pitcher Weiss ranks in a class by himself.

He has smoke, a fast curve, control and base ball sense.

Dearing--1st base--His lean and lanky build and fielding ability make him a

valuable player.

Roof--2nd base--The slow but sure type of player. Not a grand stand player,

but a fighter.

Barker--s. s.--Deane is fast, a perfect infielder, and the most difficult man to

strike out on the team.

White--3rd base--A fast man with a cannon ball peg to first. Also a good man

with the stick.

Weiser--l. f.--A sterling outfielder, and one of the most consistent hitters on

the team.

Piper--c. f.--To have a fly ball drop near center field is fatal, for in our memory

Piper has never missed.

Competition for right field is keen. Fivaz, Laughery and Patrick have the edge.

Sunbury High School Calendar


In this calendar we will endeavor to enumerate the most important events during

the school year of 1924-1925.

Sept. 8--School opened one week late.

Sept. 9--Registration days, and we find that we have an enrollment of 23 Seniors.

Sept. 27--Freshmen Initiation. This party given by Sophs was a decided success.

Green ice cream was served for dessert. All left for home early. Carleton Burrer and

Hoyt Whitney were in bed by ten bells. Ha!

Oct. 10--Another Freshman party held at the home of Marie Metzger. Everyone

reported a good time.

Oct. 17--Seniors invited Juniors to a weiner roast at at Alum Creek. Many

games were played, and the sad part was the theft of the marshmellows. The desti-

nation from there for some of the party was "Blue Mist."

Oct. 24--Basketball game, Orange at Orange. Lila couldn't find the way over.

Nov. 6--A stirring game at Hyatts, Jim White being put out of the game. After

the game we enjoyed a bacon roast along the Scioto River.

Nov. 21--A thrilling game with Galena. Galena bet their last penny and had to

go barefooted all winter.

Nov. 26--Homecoming. Alumni played High School, Boyd being only one booted.

A dance and games were enjoyed by everyone. Music was furnished by Miss Janet

Rogers.

Dec. 2--Banquet for Basketball teams and coaches given by Mr. Whitney. Speeches

were given by the coaches and Captains, Frances Perfect and Ralph Piper. Nannie

Snavely talked so much during the dinner that the candles were blown out.

Dec. 5--Basketball game with Powell. The girls lost, but the excuse we give is

that they had to "push" their way over.

Dec. 12--Basketball game at Radnor, Hoyt Whitney saving the day by making the

last foul.

Dec. 24--Glee Club gave program in chapel. An interesting talk was given by

Rev. R. Chadwick from Boston, Mass.

Jan. 9--All pupils wishing to see the "Pied Piper" at Grey Chapel, Delaware

were excused from school. Many were excused, four actually saw the play.

Jan. 16--Our first game in the new Gym with Centervillage.

Feb. 9--"Phil" brought Amelia Schmidt to school. Deane Barker of course made

tracks around her.

Feb. 12--The High School celebrated Lincoln's birthday with patriotic songs and

talks.

Feb. 20--Basketball game with Orange. Sunbury defeated.

Feb. 26--Rev. Smith from Bellview gave a very interesting talk in chapel.

March 4--The High School and Grammar Room had the privilege of hearing the

inaugural address from Washington by Radio.

March 21--Miss Alma Scott, Junior of S. H. S. becomes Mrs. Wallace Barnum.

March 25--Mr. Henry Miller of Sunbury gave a talk on the subject "Money."

April 3--The Seniors with the help of some Juniors gave the annual Carnival. A

Vodvil of nine acts were given in the new auditorium. There was also an auction at

which "Lengthy Clark" presided.

April 10--Junior Play--"The Fifteenth of January" will be a success we hope.

If it is not, it will not be Mrs. Sinkey's fault.

Commencement week, Congressman Thomas Brooks Fletcher of Marion will give

the class address.

New School Building


Sunbury feels justly proud of her new Public School building. For

the last several years we have been rather hampered in our old quarters,

and we feel that now a new spur will be felt which will be to the advan-

tage of all our school activities.

On November 4, 1923 the Sunbury District voted favorably on the

project of a $75,000 bond issue for building an addition on the old High

School building. Mr. Porter as architect, drew up the plans, and the con-

tract was let to Mr. Hopper of Delaware. Work began almost immedi-

ately, and progressed rapidly with the result that on January 16 we dedi-

cated the new gymnasium by a Basketball game with Center Village. The

building is completed with the exception of some of the equipment for

the various departments. Most of the equipment has been purchased.

In addition to the regular recitation rooms the building contains a

combination auditorium and gymnasium capable of seating about six

hundred and providing ample stage room for all entertainments, locker

rooms and shower baths, a large study hall with library in connection, and

well equipped laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Manual Training, and

Domestic Science.

Hyatts Literary Societies


One of the outstanding features of this school year which provided

some excellent training and no little amount of merriment was the organi-

zation at the beginning of the year of two literary societies. They took

unto themselves the names of "Leonida" and "X L".

The Leonidas Society chose Ruth Ashbury as their president and

Dorothy Hall for secretary. No probability of finances made a treasurer

unnecessary. The X L society chose William Winters to head the group

and Helen Stockdale to keep a strict and accurate account of all pro-

ceedings.

During the year each side gave a complete program to which they

invited the other side as well as relatives and friends. On February 28th

the two societies gave a joint program to which the public at large was

invited. Some of the outstanding numbers on this program were: "The

Man in the Bowler Hat", a one-act play, "Some Whoppers", or the stories

you read about, "Choosing a Valentine", or a revision of the family album,

and a number of readings and songs that delighted the audience. This

program was the crowning success of the year.


Operetta--"El Bandido"


The big musical feature of the year was the rendition of the musical

comedy "El Bandido". This was a Spanish operetta and special settings

and costumes were used in the portrayal of this story of Spanish life.

Mrs. Jeanette Gooding-Harter, our music teacher was the director of the

play. Miss Whittier coached all the drills for it and the settings were

prepared by the manual training class under the leadership of Mr. Utley.

Below is the cast of characters of the play:
