Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to unlabeled page 2 of Delaware High School] PREFACE By FREDERICK NORWOOD The next time you are walking down Winter Street, pause to look at the big old brick building set solidly between the Presbyte- rian and Episcopal churches. "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 Yes, Frank B. Willis High School, toward which we were yearning for almost four years, has itself been replaced by Rutherford B. Hayes High School --located, by the way, where Su- perintendent R. D. Conrad had wanted it in 1929.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. I have tried to Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School 1928-1932 (p. 3) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/12f4c70e86f6378cf63fb6ef4d0063d2.jpg 7a5532b71bc8dfb309c2cdca84e8837a 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 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.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to unlabeled page 9 of Delaware High School] ready divided three-person board, which had just fired one school superintendent and one high school principal and em- ployed new ones, was further rent. 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.

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.

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.

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!

Description An account of the resource [page 28] [corresponds to page 26 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin Resolutions We recognize that education must include three phases of life, the physical, the mental, and the moral. Each must be developed to make the perfect man. The Board of Education has observed with pleasure the splendid work of our basketball team in the tournament just closed, and we desire at this time to express our appreciation of their great achievement in this, the greatest contest of its kind ever held. We watched eagerly game after game in which D.H.S. participated during the two days and evenings of the southern division contest. With enthusiasm unbounded we saw the Orange and Black emerge victors over the crack teams of Piqua and Xenia. At the end of the sixth round of contests, with seventy-seven teams of this division defeated, there remained but two undefeated teams, Delaware and Greenfield. This of itself was a signal honor for Delaware and for each member of the team. Probably the hardest fought game of the tourna- ment was the Delaware-Piqua game. Piqua came to Delaware with the season's record of unbroken vic- tories. Having vanquished everything she met in southwestern Ohio, she came with high hopes of state championship honors. Perhaps the greatest exhibition of individual self-control and skill ever seen in a high school basketball game was shown by Captain Turney at the close of this battle. The score was a tie. Piqua fouled Delaware. The pis- tol cracked. Time up. And in the presence of 2500 people Captain Turney took his position in front of the basket. The fate of Delaware rested on his ability to drop the ball through the basket. Indif- ferent to the breathless condition of his tense audi- ence, and with the utmost skill and precision, he dropped the ball through the center of the basket, thus winning the game for Delaware. The defeat of Greenfield by Delaware and the Mt. Vernon championship game are fresh in the minds of all. To stand with one foot on the top- most round of the ladder and have the vanquished host of more than one hundred and fifty of the best teams in Ohio look up at you with admiration, is an enviable position for any team to attain. Every member of the team deserves his full share of cred- it. Such eminence in athletics can be attained only by the best team work. We realize that no school can put such a team in the field without a faithful second team ever ready and willing to scrimmage with the first. With all these things our efforts would come to naught without a competent, en- thusiastic coach. This we have had in the person of Mr. Mahon. The loyal support of the student body has also been an important factor. You have brought honor to your high school and to the city of Delaware. Therefore, be it resolved by the Delaware City Board of Education, that we extend to the Delaware High School basketball team and Coach Mahon our heartiest congratula- tions for the excellent record you made in the re- cent basketball tournament. We want the boys and girls to know that we are deeply interested in your welfare and will do everything in our power to ad- vance the interests of this high school and its in- ter-school contests. C. A. MORRISON, President. CHAS. S. MASON, Vice President. R. K. WILLIS, Clerk. Next Year's Captain Next year's football captain, Scott Radcliffe, was chosen at a banquet given by Coach Mahon soon af- ter the close of the season. Scott, who is well known for his ability in breaking up the opponent's plays, is a find selection for the captaincy, and, because he is athletic editor of the Bulletin, nothing was said about his good work. There will be five "D" men missing from the squad next year, but if everyone takes the interest that I know the captain and coach manifest, there will be another successful football season. -HAROLD SPAULDING, '22. 26 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 28) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ad76d025b7bb785290a54e80837a660d.jpg 057c5ab29f632dbc5c9eec645e63c12b 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 30] [corresponds to page 28 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin [photograph of basketball team] Basketball '21-'22 Delaware High started its 1921-1922 basketball season under the direction of Coach Mahon with three "D" men, Captain Spaulding, Turney, and High- warden. With this firm foundation upon which to build a team, the prospects for the coming season looked very bright. The first game was played with Hyatts on the Delaware court. Spaulding was the only man on the Delaware team that could locate the basket, and due to the exceptional playing of Hill from Hyatts, the home team was sent down to defeat. The next game was played in Crestline where Delaware, with Perry as star, was victor by a 21-14 score. The fol- lowing week we suffered defeat at Galion in a close- ly fought contest, which was won only after a neces- sary overtime period. Following our defeat at Galion we made a great comeback and defeated both Ashland and South High of Columbus on our own floor. Perry was high point man in the Ashland contest and Turney proved best in the South High game. Following this last game our team became se- verely crippled. Perry and Highwarden were tem- porarily unable to play, and Spaulding was forced out of the game for the rest of the season on ac- count of illness. We suffered several straight de- feats, and only rallied in the last schedule game of the season, defeating Harding 33-13, thus revenging ourselves for our defeat at their hands earlier in the season. After the close of the schedule season the team worked hard for two solid weeks in preparation for the tournament. This extra training was not in vain, for Delaware won six straight games in the prelim- inaries of the southern division and came back the next week-end to play in the finals. Piqua and Xenia, two of the best teams in the southern divi- sion, fell prey to our superior team work. Turney was the main factor in pulling us through, and his ability at shooting baskets, as well as his exception- ally fine floor work, won him a place on the All- State team. Commendable mention must also be made of the unusual guarding of Highwarden which placed him securely on the second All-State. In the game for the championship of Southern Ohio the following week we were matched against the strong Greenfield aggregation. here again Turney played one of the best games of his basketball ca- reer, and we emerged with the long end of a 34-14 score, leaving us to play Mount Vernon in the finals for the championship of Ohio. The championship game was played before the largest audience ever assembled in Edwards Gym- nasium. We have no alibi to offer for our defeat. Mount Vernon had the better team, and won the game and honor by a 33-17 score. We are proud to have met such a team as Mount Vernon, for they deserved their victory; at the same time we cannot forego an expression of our own pride in the team that won the championship of Southern Ohio. -SCOTT RADCLIFFE. 28 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 30) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/662d4120cf2d7561bef720fc0ee7a332.jpg 563a47bd3df1eed8b899e4f54b23908d 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 31] [corresponds to page 29 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin [photograph of football team] Football, 1921 A promising outlook greeted the opening of D.H.S. football season: Seven "D" men with a host of new material, many of whom had played before, reported for the first work-out. In past years we had great difficulty in securing a coach, and generally took whomever we could get. This trouble was obviated by the election of Mr. George Mahon to the faculty corps. This former Wesleyan star joined our school as teacher of Mathematics, athletic director and coach. Under this new system, both coach and stu- dents have taken greater interest in sports. After two weeks' hard practice, we were met by the strong aggregation from South High of Colum- bus, and defeated 7-0. The following week, we went to Columbus, where we played Aquinas, another Capital City team, and, through a few costly fumbles, we came home with the small end of a 13-0 score. Smarting under our two defeats, we prepared for the Ashland game, with the determination to bring about a vicotry--and so we did--for they were put away with a disheartening 28-0 tally. The stellar playing of Turney and Highwarden brought about this victory. Next came Mansfield. They were determined to avenge the defeat of their neighbor, Ashland, but in this they were disappointed, for we tucked them away with the stinging defeat of 24-19. This was one of the best games played on teh local field in years, and the team received great praise from the papers and from the town fans. The exceptionally good playing of Turney and Spaulding was the fea- ture of this contest. The following week we played Galion in another home game. We were unable to repeat the work of the preceding Saturday and they were our victors by the unhappy margin of 28-7. Through the good work of Spaulding and Highwarden, we succeeded in getting one touchdown. Because of a heavy snowfall, it seemed as if our season were temporarily at a standfill. This condi- tion hindered our practice but little, however, and the fellows, determined to put Bucyrus under cover, practiced early and late, regardless of the weather. The contest was staged at Bucyrus on a snow-cov- ered field. Unfortunately, the team was greatly crippled by the absence of Highwarden and Sands, who were laid up on account of injuries received in previous games. The loss of these men drove the team to fight harder than ever to overcome this de- ficiency, and although Delaware outplayed their op- ponents, they lost their only chance to score when Turney collided with the goal post. The game ended with a 0-0 score. We journeyed to Zanesville the following week, where we played in a sea of mud; but the boys didn't seem to mind this, and, due to the ability of Turney and Spaulding to cross their opponents' goal-line, we brought home the bacon. The ensuing Saturday we met Marion on their home field and suffered our first defeat from them in years. We finished the season by defeating the Alumni 7-0 in our annual Turkey-day game. -SCOTT RADCLIFFE. 29 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 31) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9055f23d08e01c127fbf0931f163f565.jpg b3703889693d3fc565a9ea4a40164be5 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 32] [corresponds to page 30 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin [photograph of girls' basketball team] Girls' athletics in D.H.S. started off in fine shape under the direction of Miss Marjorie Crimm, our coach of 1921. After many hard practice games, teams were picked from the excellent material of each class squad, all working hard to perfect their passwork and basket-shooting in anticipation of the third annual basketball tournament. This event was started by a series of preliminary games, played every week. The first two were played between the Seniors and Juniors, followed by a Sophomore- Freshman game. The outcome of these games was in favor of the Seniors and Sophomores. The sec- ond two games of the series were between the Se- niors and Freshmen, and the Juniors and Sopho- mores; in these contests the Seniors again were victors and the Juniors on good footing. Next came the semi-finals, which were played with much pep and enthusiasm by all classes. The upper classes, kept always on the jump, won by hard playing, thus bringing them together for the final and decisive game. Everyone on the teams adhered to strict training; more careful practice and coaching was gone through, and much interest displayed. In the last and long looked-forward-to game, the Junior team won by a score of 14 to 8, thus winning the championship. A consolation game followed be- tween the Sophomores and Freshmen in which the "Sophs" got the long end of a 12 to 2 score. The usual stunts between halves showed much originality and humor in their portrayal of old- fashioned customs, a mock girls' basketball game, and a pipe-organ performance.

Description An account of the resource [page 34] [corresponds to page 32 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin Affirmative Debate Team [photographs] Dorothy Whipple Beverly Kelley Elizabeth Hoffman Harold Stephens The past debate year in Delaware High School has been successful from two standpoints: first, in the number of points scored, and second, in the devel- oping of six excellent debaters. The goal of the debaters and coaches has been not to win decisions alone, but the important aim was turning out from D.H.S. clear thinkers, and young men and women who would understand the value of hard work as well as constructive mental discipline. This we believe has been accomplished. In following this as a purpose we were most for- tunate in having Mr. Harold W. Roupp from Ohio Wesleyan University, who is an experienced debater, as our coach and instructor. Although we did not win the silver cup we scored four out of a possible six points. There is a gen- eral feeling among the High School students that the decision of the Marion-Delaware debate was un- warranted. However, the team offers no apology, believing with the audience, that they had won the debate even though the decision was against them.

And feeling as we do about it, we wish to urge more students to go out for this forensic activity next year. It is important that the school show well in mental as well as physical com- bat. There are three chief reasons why Delaware High was successful during the past year: first, we receiv- ed excellent coaching from Miss Phillips and Mr. Roupp; second, the teams were not afraid of hard work; and third, we knew that the school was be- hind us, wishing us to do our best and win. The year of 1923 will see three seasoned debaters back in school. Our best wishes to next year's team. We hope they will be even more successful than we have been, and win the silver loving cup for Dela- ware High. -JOHN BEAL.

In order to be truthfully rated as a first class high school we should have such a library. We consider the action of the recently graduated class- es in devoting their money to the equipment of a high school reference room as very commendable. Our aesthetic sense has been cultivated by the pic- tures and statues which former classes have donat- ed, and now we are glad for the practical develop- ment afforded by the funds raised in more recent years. Many school activities have contributed to this cause, and the collection is growing quite large. The class of 1918 gave four beautiful oak library tables. One hundred and ninety-four dollars was donated by the class of 1919 for books. Among these volumes is a set of New International En- cyclopedias, a Dictionary, and forty dollars worth of other books. The Bulletins of the years of 1919, 1920, and 1921 have altogether given $333.33. The interest from the high school Liberty bond is being used for the collection. We must not overlook the manual training boys who have made the fine book shelves. The total sum amounts to $626.45. Thus we see that the library is well under way, and we expect that it will be in good working order by next year. The Hayes Centennial When the news came that Warren G. Harding had been elected by an overwhelming majority to the Chief Executive Office, enthusiasm and excite- ment prevailed here not only because another Pres- ident had been added to Ohio's long list of famous sons, but because his residence is only twenty miles away from our city. That was all very well; but we cannot help wondering whether or not one hundred years from now Marion will have forgotten that she was, in 1921, the center of the nation's interest, and will have allowed her now most honored residence to be neglected and run down. This will be the case if Marion follows the example of her neighbor, Delaware. It seems to us that since this is the cen- tennial anniversary of the birth of Rutherford Birch- ard Hayes, the citizens of Delaware should begin to recognize that his birthplace is here, and in a very deplorable condition. Surely all right think- ing people will realize that this fact does not re- flect credit on our town. Patriotism to our nation as well as to our city demands that we remedy this condition. Are the pupils of Delaware High School going to allow our old time rivals to get ahead of us even in showing respect to a native President? We think that our point will be appreciated if we conclude this article by the familiar phrase, "Yea Delaware! Beat Marion"! Tennis Courst for the High School Tennis, one of the most interesting games in the great field of athletics, is becoming more and more popular in this country. Courts are being construct- ed in every vacant lot and old garden patch. There are many things to recommend this game; one is that anyone can play it. It does not take a robust person; neither does it take a tall one, as do other sports. Tennis is a game every student should play for mental reasons as well as physical.

Description An account of the resource [page 38] [corresponds to page 36 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin mind is needed to understand and play the game well. To be a good player one must be accurate and must use very good judgment at all times. Physically, it gives every muscle its proper exercise. It occasions no overdoing, strained muscles or brok- en bones as do almost all other athletics. An acci- dent can be blamed on no one but the player him- self. What would be better for the high school than good tennis courts? The school has access to a very good football field and a fine basketball court; and now that tennis is becoming so popular, why not have courts? The question, that might enter one's mind, where can ground be found on which to construct them? can be thrown aside. The high school owns a lot back of the building which is large enough for two good courts, and is in a fine location. What good is that idle ground doing for us? Why not have it changed into something use- ful and helpful to the student? A Young Genius An event took place on the evening of May 2 which once more justifies Delaware High's reputation for contributing to the world and which gives the class of '23 ample cause to be very proud of a fellow mem- ber. This event was the piano recital given by Dale Bartholomew at Sanborn Hall. From the first ex- quisite note until the last, the large audience was literally held spellbound. Dale conducted himself like a true virtuoso, with not a trace of self-con- sciousness in his manner, holding the instrument al- ways under perfect control. Beginning with Rach- maninoff's "Prelude in G Minor," he played selec- tions from Chopin, Schumann, Rubenstein, Liszt, and Grieg. His fingers touched the keys lightly or firmly as his interpretation of the selections varied, but there was always that fullness and delicacy of tone which mark the true artist. His technique throughout was practically faultless. There were present at the concert several in- structors in music of the college and they were equally well pleased with the success and well-de- served praise of the young musician. We of Delaware High School appreciate more than ever before Dale's talent and ability and his ser- vices in the Choral Class and Glee Club. He is un- doubtedly destined for the highest success in the musical world, and he has the very best wishes of both the faculty and the pupils of Delaware High School for the coming years. Honor Member of Class of '22 It is not very often in a life time that one finds within his own circle of acquaintances a young ge- nius so brilliant that he is recognized by those ex- perienced in his art, and is given an opportunity for a swift and remarkable career. This was the reali- zation to which the students of Delaware High School awoke when Bernard Schweitzer appeared suddenly as one of the brightest and most promis- ing among the young explorers in the realm of mu- sic. The student body has twice had the opportun- ity of hearing Bernard sing since he took up his study in Chicago, and has been delighted to mark his progress. We are very proud of him because he is one of our number, and because he received part of his training, and, we hope, a great deal of his inspiration while under the influence of our own school. Had Bernard remained longer with us, he would have graduated with this year's class. After hearing him render most inspiringly the famous "Hosanna" anthem, the Holy Name Cathe- dral of Chicago succeeded in securing his services. To appreciate the honor implied in this, we must consider that the very greatest of singers have ac- cepted invitations to sing in this cathedral. So, fellow classmate, we wish you a realization of your greatest hopes. We also look forward to that day when we shall hear you in a greater hall than the chapel of D.H.S.

Description An account of the resource [page 40] [corresponds to page 38 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin A Fantasy Prone on the sun- warmed sand, just out of reach of the breakers, A Boy with a Suf- fering Heart lay thoughtfully gaz- ing upward. Sprinkling the stones with dew and filling the air Back of the first great dune in a cottage low in the valley, Sick, and dying with care, his mother lay stricken with fever; Hers was the grief of the world, the down-trodden world of the helpless. All night long he had watched, till his eyes grew heavy with vigil, And now, as at length she slept, he lay thinking and pond'ring and planning. Was there not some way he, though his years one might count on ten fingers, Might bring, in his own small way, glad joy to the heart of the sufferer? Coax long-vanished smiles to her lips, as his own smiles might seem in reflection? Wearied with sorrow and care, and lulled by the swish of the sea-surf, His thoughts turned to happier paths, and his eyes closed gently in slumber. Suddenly faint in his ear a weird cry roused him to action. "Look!" it cried, "Look, ye, lad, for magic abides in yon castle!" The Boy with the Suffering Heart first glanced, then gazed in amazement. Afar, where the dune had been a castle rose sheer to the heavens. Silver and gold were its walls, and its windows gleamed brighter than jewels. Its towers were wreathed in mist that sparkled like dew on the hawthorne. Nearer and nearer he drew. Urged on by a great fascination He mounted its Parian steps, and paused not, but en- tered its portals. Suddenly, born on the breeze, came the same weird voice from the ether. "Mortal, guard well thy tongue, for ne'er since the last king of Egypt Died by the hand of the dream folk, those guardians who watch o'er the castle For sland'ring the name of the wardens, has mortal e'er glimpsed this great vision. Thou of the Suffering Heart must cherish and honor the privilege. What thou wilt see beyond is not for the scorn of the rabble. Its sight must be earned by faith and kindness and thoughts of endearment." Urged by the same fascination, and quickened by glad expectation That some how in some strange way the dream folk would answer his problem, He raced down the long light hall till two doorways rose, thwarting his passage. One opened on sunlit halls where fountains played gayly and lightly, Sprinkling the stones with dew and fillin gthe air with sweet perfume. Round it the flowers sprang, holding their cups to its showers, Like a rare rug for the trees, which teemed with the sweetest of songsters. Rose and lily and fern played hide and seek with the thrushes. Gayly in and out, in the shade, 'mongst the birds and the flowers Dancing in gay attire were the mystical, care-free dream folk. Blue were their eyes as the sky, and their hair shone like gold in the sunlight, Clothed in shimmering white, richly embroidered with purple, Azure and saffron and rose, with the green of wee leaves in the springtime. Spellbound he stood in the door, nor quivered, till roused by the weird voice, He let his gaze slowly be turned, till it fell on the opposite doorway. Startled with horror and pain he choked back a sob e'er it 'scaped him. For as he gazed within, till his eyes grew used to the dead light He saw not a thing but space, as black as a cellar at midnight. Gradually came into view the skull of a man, with its jaw bone Cruelly broken across, and beside it a chest filled with treasure; Here hung a hang-man's rope still looped in the death-knot of slaughter; Here was a gibbet; beneath, the mouldering bones of its victims. Turning away in disgust, he stepped toward the doorway of dreamland.

He sank to the floor in his grief, and his sobs broke the silence of ages. "Why can't it all be like that, all beauty, and glory, and radiance?" An agonized sigh shook his frame, his heart was breaking with sorrow. Suddenly faint but clear, the weird voice, softened to music Fell on his heart like balm, then ceased he his weep- ing to listen. "Oh, Boy of the Suffering Heart, hearken to all that I tell you. You in your innocent grief, have stumbled on life's greatest lesson. The castle you now are within holds the secret of human endeavor; Yon rooms were the souls of men, some good, some teeming with evil. "Long ago in this hall, ere began the great cycle of ages, The wrong of the world was confined, till arose a great monster named Rumor Who broke through the heavy barred walls and freed from their bonds of confinement The spirits of evil and sin, who now roam the wide world at random. But alas, as he broke through the wall, a stone shak- en loose from its moorings Stopped up the door of gold, and blocked that pas- sage forever. Wearily watching and waiting, year after year with- out number, The guardian sprites of the hall have searched for a mortal, a human Who could roll the stone from the door and free all good from its burden. Thrice have they tried and failed, thrice turned anew to their mourning. "Now we have welcomed you with the hope which seems beyond hoping, That a Boy with a Suffering Heart, urged on by un- selfish emotions, Might say the potent word that would loose the stone from the portal. Speak the wish nearest your heart. I go, for I dare not stay longer." A cry of joy on his lips, the Boy, no longer dejected, Sprang like a dart to his feet--"Aid, help for my suffering mother!" A flash of light, a whirl, a sound of echoing music, A blurr of mingled hues as the dream folk rushed on toward the doorway. Blinded and dazed and stunned, the Boy fell tremb- ling, startled. The harsh stones turned to sand he was back again by the sea side. The breakers were loud and fierce, steadily rain- drops were falling. Stumbling and weak in his haste, the lad rushed on toward the cottage. The dream folk were free at last, but where, oh, where had they vanished? "Look," came the low weird voice, "Look to the west- ward and southward." He turned then stopped in amazement, a glad cry burst forth from his bosom, "Mother, oh, mother, look, the dream folk, high in the heavens!" High in the arch of ether, where the clouds were broken asunder, The sun shone through on the mist, and the air was tinted to purple, Azure and saffron and rose, with the green of wee leaves in the springtime. His mother turned on her couch, with the weary look of the dying, But as she looked at the tinted arch, her pain be came gladness, The gray lines left her face, she sank back pale and exhausted But now to grow stronger each hour, for a promise of good everlasting, A token of dream folk faith was this rainbow arch in the heavens. Prone on the sun warmed sand, just out of reach of the breakers, A Boy with a Happy Heart, lay thoughtfully gazing upward. Back of the first great dune, in a cottage low in the valley, Weak, but happy, and stronger each hour, his moth- er lay sleeping. The Boy with the Happy Heart as he lay there lulled by the sea surf, Freed from his heavy care, closed his eyes softly in slumber. Faint through his dreams, there came, the low weird tones of the dream folk, "Saved by his generous wish, we promise him peace everlasting." Ages have come and gone, but oft in the sky of a summer, After a heavy shower, comes the rainbow, the pledge of the dream folk. -CHARLOTTE RICE, '22. 39 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 41) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6bc3ed7b96bcd4bf4baf7f5ad9684004.jpg 255dfbeb84f569bae351670c94743865 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 42] [corresponds to page 40 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin The Amateur Househusband Henry Obstinate, a father and husband, who be- came exasperated because Mrs. Minerva Obstinate put in a plea for a clothes-wringer and, having re- ceived it, untactfully sent in a similar plea for a washing-machine, quite boldly declared he could take care of the house as a recreation. Wise Mrs. Obstinate refrained from pressing her desire and Henry went to his club; but when he returned to his peaceful realm, he was informed by note that his practical wife thinking he needed a period of re- creation, had gone to her old home in order to per- mit him to enjoy the needed rest. She left the chil- dren, Mary and John, to keep him from getting lone- some during the many hours in which he would be unoccupied with household duties. Monday morning dawned radiant and calm, but Henry slept serenely on. At the late hour of eight, John and Mary anxiously arose and surveyed their audacious parent. Why hadnt he called them? They dressed for school with unusual hilarity. Presently, vociferous sounds issued from above. "Why hasn't Minerva called me?" shrieked Henry as he came panting down the stairs. Then he re- membered his spouse had departed for a time. Well, he would show "Min"! He commenced his "recrea- t'on" by laboriously trying to comb and braid Mary's hair. What a mess! How did "Min" do it? He final- ly disposed of that incident by leaving her hair un- braided and tying an awkward-looking bow around it. Much to his chagrin, he discovered that it was too late for the children to go to school. After one-half hour of swearing and wrestling he had three eggs fried, but Mary and John refused to eat theirs because he had stirred the fire with the egg-turner, then turned the eggs! In the midst of the confusion of the children's crying, the eggs pop- ping, and Henry hopping around with his hair in his eyes, at the same time nursing a burnt hand, the tele- phone rang. "Hello! Hello!! Hello!!!" shouted Henry. Slam! Went the receiver followed by a tor- rent of profane language. "It is ten o'clock and you haven't started the washing yet. 'Min' always had it done by nine o'clock," reminded Henry's conscience. He dutifully gathered up as many dirty clothes as he could find, promising himself he would wash the breakfast dishes with the dinner dishes. He had a vivid recol- lection of a boiler of water which he had been in the habit of putting on for "Min," so he put a boiler full of water on the stove and piled the clothes in. By the time this was accomplished it was time to get dinner in order to give the younger Obstinates something to eat before they started to school. With one hand burnt and his disposition badly injured, Henry rumaged through the cellar and pan- try in a frantic effort to find a cook-book and some- thing to cook. He found some canned goods from which he selected a can of peaches, a can of sweet- potatoes, a can of peas, and a can of salmon. As the "amateur househusband" began slashing reck- lessly into the top of a can, the can-opener undiplo- matically slipped, causing the wielder to gash his hand on the ragged edge of the lid. Howling in anguish, he bound up the cut and proceeded more slowly. Having completed his task, he called the children in to partake of the "tin" dinner. The peas were partially prepared but since the cook couldn't find the cook-book he was not to be censured if things weren't altogether edible. The remainder of the victuals was cold. The younger inmates disposed of, the washing was resumed. As Mr. Obstinate turned to the boil- ing clothes, he looked with awe upon the strangely colored water. He gingerly picked up a garment and after careful inspection recognized his ex-best white shirt, ex-best--for, alas--one sleeve was a dingy black and the front was an elegant mottled red. He limply stood gazing at his neighbor's beau- tiful white shirt, tauntingly waving on the line. Mystified, he hunted for the wash-board and tub; then he went to work. After hours of real labor at the wash-board, in which the only thing that was accomplished was the further disfigurement of his hands and what appeared like the last stages of lumbago in his back, he gave up in despair. He sat down, gazed from the best suit of clothes all wet and dabbed with flour, to his hands all red and blistered, then to the kitchen which looked as though a small tornado had just passed through it. As the victim was brooding over some of the evils in life, the lesser Obstinates trooped in. As usual, they were on the brink of starvation and since it was nearly five o'clock, supper loomed up before Henry's eyes. Supper is generally a soothing thought to most people, but to Henry it was a dancing figure dressed in red and possessing two extremely long, pointed horns which protruded from above either eye. Mary produced a cook-book and Henry donned the chef's cap once more, armed himself with spoons and flour, then proceeded to make biscuits. Now, the neighborhood owned in joint-partnership, three common black cats which had just discovered the Obstinate family's bowl of milk that Henry had so innocently placed on the porch to keep cool. 40 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 42) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/da2d71dfeae1e148a83fa6a6c5e0d166.jpg b0bd343d816db1ed5fb9476c8adc91ad Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Henry ran back into the kitchen--but, alas!--his culinary art, the biscuits, were perfect pictures of mud turtles huddled under their shells, and in fact they felt much the same too!

Sheer Luck Combs An Original Story of Deductive Reasoning By the Author THE MISSING SPARK PLUG Sheer Luck sat in his den deeply engaged in study and profound reflection. He had, just two days be- fore finished deducting the facts in the case of Elu- sive Killem, which on the previous day had led to the arrest of that gentlemen; and now he was try- ing to solve the problem of the capture of Slim Jim by the Bingville police force. The butler entered and handed him a card an- nouncing Miss Billionaires. "Show her in," said Sheer Luck. She entered, tall, stately, and handsome, wearing a dress of the latest production of the designer's art. "What's the trouble?" asked Sheer Luck Combs, unconcernedly. "May I speak confidentially?" asked the beautiful blond. "Sure." "Well, then, I have come to have you solve the intricate problem concerning the missing spark plug in my limousine. You know I had a car made to order with a peculiar spark plug, which cannot be duplicated. If you can keep a secret, I shall tell you one. The Count De von Marrymoney, of Bo- logne, and I were to elope in this very car, so it would be quite provoking to spoil all the romantic sensations by using any other now. My father does not favor my marriage with the count, but of course it would not be romantic if father and mother both agreed to the union." "I see, I see." "But about the spark plug," continued Miss Bil- lionaires, "I always carry that on the end of a gold chain about my neck so no one can drive the car but myself. The plug resembles an antique locket. At night I place it in a small vault which no one knows about except myself. It is in my own room and impossible to be seen, since it is so well con- cealed." "Well, then, you mean to say that it was stolen from your vault last night at twelve o'clock by a person who entered--you know not how--and van- ished even more mysteriously when you sat up in bed." "Wonderful! How did you know?" asked the amazed beauty. "Very simple. I just deducted it from your talk." "Then can you assist me in finding the valuable article?" "Certainly. It is this moment in your father's posession. He has it in his right-hand vest pocket." "But how do you know?" "Since you ask, I shall explain. Your father did not want you to marry the count?" "No." "He knew you were going to elope in your car, because you told your mother and she is a woman. Your father knew that the car had but one spark plug, and he also knew of the vault, because he saw you open it one night when you were unaware of his presence. Mr. Dexterous Sharp, the magician and pickpocket, as well as the contortionist and hypno- tist, wanted to earn two hundred and fifty dollars, so he burglarized your father's house--by his con- sent--and secured the article. It is now in your father's vest pocket, because most men carry valu- ables there, for a while at least." "A wonderful and amazing intellect!" said the swan-like creature. "But how can I secure the plug?" "Give Mr. Sharp five hundred to rob your dad." "Good! I'll do so immediately. But where can I find Mr. Sharp?" "Next room to the right. He's my partner." Thus Uncle Sam lost another billion heiress, but Sheer Luck Combs continues to deduce evidence from nothing, and has a world-wide fame. -EDNA WOOD, '24. 41 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 43) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d3f869cbbf0aa52ab191cece5e65a3c3.jpg 60fcbf668f2c5458e149033ec8e6d719 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 44] [corresponds to page 42 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin Joe Strikes for Liberty Not long ago, Mr. Ireland, of the Dispatch, took a trip into Kentucky. The Sunday after his return, the "Passing Show" was filled with cartoons of what he had seen there, and his comments upon them. Among them was a touching little illustration de- picting an old mountaineer climbing up the trail on horseback, while his better half labored along be- hind him on a mule, most dejectedly. It was evi- dently Mr. Ireland's purpose to illustrate the habit- ual position of a mountaineer's lady, and so far as I know, he is right in assuming that the greater por- tion of Kentucky women do shirk along behind their husbands; slaves, living only for their master's pleasure. But there is an exception. Indeed in the case of which I am about to speak, the accepted positions of husband and wife were just reversed. It seems that Joe and Lizzie, his wife, lived in hardworking comfort in a more or less spacious shack on the farm of a well-to-do mountaineer. Liz- zie worked hard, and Joe, spurred on by a stimulus the nature of which only husbands know, did like- wise. Joe's loftiest ambition was to sit around all day in the sun, bare as to feet and vacant as to mind, and with the assurance of three good meals a day and a soft bed at night, watch Lizzie hang out the clothes. Of these, the most longed for privilege and the one most improbable of fulfillment, was that of watching Lizzie hang out the clothes. For whatever part Joe may have had in the weekly rite of washing was emphatically not that of onlooker. In fact he was never idle; if Lizzie didn't want him to help her wash, she ordered him to mind the baby or stir the beans. And Joe, of course, had a man's aversion to all of these housewifely duties. Those who knew the state of affairs at the Tolliver home were fond of telling a story about poor Joe. They said that Mr. Warren, on whose farm Joe's shack stood, had once asked him to help with the hay. Joe, torn between a wholesome awe of his wife and a desire to do a real man's work with real men for the first time in his married life, stumbled and quavered, but finally managed to convey the idea that to pitch hay would be his dearest delight, but he "kinda thought Lizzie wuz washin' today; he didn't know ef she wuz er not, but he reckoned he'd better go ask her fore he decided." So ask her he did, only to find that Lizzie wanted to go to an all-day revival meeting and had decreed that Joe's place was in the home. Lizzie was not particularly diplomatic about it, and she did not realize that every road has a winding. Neither did she realize that Joe was aware of the fact that he was the laughing stock of the community; that he was tired of her ceaseless dominion; and that to his sluggish mind at last had come the realization that he could escape. Ignorant of all these things, how- ever, she went her pious way, never doubting Joe's fidelity. On her return, she found the shack emp- ty; even the baby was gone. Eventually the baby was found asleep by the creek her feet trailing in the water, and Lizzie's anxieties were stilled. Joe could look out for himself. She never thought of him until her beans got burnt from lack of the usual stirring, or on wash day. As for Joe, he was not far away. He had simply gone down the road and across the river to Blue Bonnet, where he got a position in the mines. The hours were short, the pay sufficient, and no one ques- tioned his right to chew his tobacco unceasingly or to sleep whenever he wanted to. He never thought of Lizzie except at meal time, for in spite of her shrewish tendencies, Lizzie was a good cook, and he had always been well fed. But the food now avail- able was not of the best, and no matter if he was plebian in most respects, Joe's stomach was aristo- cratic. Then, too, the work at the mines we begin- ning to pall upon him. Finally, like other great men of history, Joe was conquered by his appetite and he went home to his loving spouse. She greeted him stolidly, betraying no surprise or any other emotion, but Joe was used to that. If he had any qualms, one glance at the clothes-line was enough to dispel them. He said, "Liz, give yuh a dollar a week fer room 'n board." Liz's lips said nothing but her eyes did. In response, Joe drew out one of his dollars. He continued, "One dollar, three meals a day an' room. You 'n me be strangers to one 'nother." He meant by this that he did not intend to do the washing, but he was too delicate to say so. Lizzie agreed, and got her sister to come and pay her a visit. Joe got his three meals, but his room was the kitchen and his bed the floor, for the only other room besides the kitchen was occupied by Liz- zie, her sister, and the baby. In spite of this and a few like draw-backs, Joe was very well pleased, for in his role of stranger and roomer, he was never nagged at or made to stir the beans. But he reached the zenith of his glory when he was the joy of sitting on the grass 42 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 44) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c6789ab39750f3aa89f52126ae16f032.jpg 43e28cdd2e24138bfdf2f24fbefc23ad Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

All went well for a few weeks, but the time came when the stock of dollars was exhausted. He knew that Lizzie's good food and shelter would be no long- er forthcoming without the weekly dollar. The cold weather, too, was coming on, and the need of shoes was beginning to be felt. Lizzie was adament in her refusal to get out his winter clothing. In her own words, "I ain't a-goin' to let no stranger war my husban's close." In despair, Joe departed once more for the mines, only to find that they were closed. There was no work in the town; Blue Bonnet had settled into its customary winter stupor. Luck was against him wherever he turned. He felt in his ragged pocket for his old standby, his "plug o' tobaccy," and brought his hand out, empty save for one lonely nickel. With it he could have invested in more tobacco but he knew that if he did, the luxury of riding across the river in "the boat" would never be his, for Ma McCoy, the slatternly woman who lived on the opposite bank and whose leaky, home-made skiff was the only ferry, was exacting in her demands for payment. He renounc- ed his longed-for "chaw," signalled to her, and she rowed across and pulled up on the shore. He paid no attention to her shrill command to "stan' up in th' middle, 'n mebbe she'll swarp off'n th' bank better." He was engrossed in his thoughts. All too quickly the skiff reached the opposite shore, his last nickel was in Ma's grimy fist, and he was plodding up the mountain road wondering where his next meal was to come from and where he would sleep that night. To worry was foreign to his nature; he believed, without reasoning, that when the time came a course would open. He became colder and more miserable every min- ute, but at last he approached the shack and turned into the yard. As he went into the kitchen he stum- bled over the baby playing in the dirt in the door- way. Picking her up, he awkwardly soothed her cries and went into the kitchen. A familiar odor greeted his nostrils, a familiar scene, his eyes. Lizzie was washing. He was cold; he was hungry. The room was warm and a kettle of beans boiled on the stove. He looked out the door; the wind was rising and the sky was gray with cold. Joe turned again to the kitchen and, without a word, lifted a tub of dirty clothes to the floor and stepped into it, his feet slopping the warm water and stamping the dirt from the clothes in the fashion approved by the moun- taineer housewives. His zeal was pathetic. Lizzie said nothing; she understood. She disap- peared and presently returned with a pair of clumsy boots and thick sox. "Gittin' cold," she remarked. "Better put on them boots whin yuh git through. Stir th' beans." -ANNE BOOTON, '22 One Saturday in the Ten Cent Store There was a time when the word "clerk" brought to my mind the picture of an untidy, uneducated, and unrefined young woman. However, I have since changed my views and now I realize that, although she may not be a college graduate, the same young lady is clean and intelligent, and often more sens- ible than many of the girls who are graduated from the best university. To be sure much more is demanded of the shop girl today: if she be lacking in intelligence and quick-witted mastery of a situation, she will soon lose her place; she must be able to meet all kinds of people pleasantly; she must be able to understand those who cannot or do not speak clearly; she must be able to make out the numerous reports and lists required by the management; she must be accurate in everything, particularly in accounting for stock, in ringing money in the register, and in making change, for, if she is not accurate, she will probably get such a tongue-lashing from some irate customer that she will flinch for a week. The clerk must always be prompt in the morning and at noon, prompt to wait upon the people and to answer their questions, which are often very fool- ish. She must always have a smile, no matter what may be hidden back of it; she must be polite under all circumstances--a duty which is, I think, the most difficult, because it is human nature to want to speak for one's self, especially if wrongly accused. But the girl behind the counter must smother her feel- ings and calmly listen to anything the customer wishes to say. She must never show impatience even though a lady should take all day to decide whether she wishes a five or a ten-cent pair of shoe 43 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 45) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f044419dec24fb028c179da4bae13250.jpg fd7b68c823249532ca222d704193238f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On the other hand the clerk has many pleasures, and enjoys many good times with the other girls. Then, too, there is the enjoyment of work well done and a day well spent. To the school girl, working in the store one day a week is all pleasure, for she does not have any of the hardwork to do; and, be- sides the rest from the monotony of school routine, she has an easy way of getting spending money without having to ask father each time. Furthermore, such work gives one an excellent chance to study kinds of people and characters. There is the flashily dressed young girl who buys a ten-cent box of rouge and takes from her purse a ten-dollar bill with which to pay; and the aristo- cratic lady who looks at all the perfumes and asks, "Is this all the kind of perfume you've got?" In contrast to these types is the poor mother, who looks as if she had not as much as seen a new dress since her wedding day, with a half dozen ragged little chil- dren about her. She has, perhaps, fifty cents in her worn pocket-book, which she spends upon cheap toys and candy for her young brood. There are two types of college girls, the snob and the non-snob. The non-snob wears a pleasing smile and treats the clerk as an equal, while the snob sails along with a high-and-mighty air seeming to think the clerk was made to serve her; and the un- usual part of it is that most often the snob is unbe- comingly dressed, and looks as if she might have a mother at home who, wrinkled and careworn, wash- es in order to earn money enough to give her daugh- ter a good education. Following this "malforma- tion," in a class by herself, is the young business girl who is much more considerate of others and who is a delight to wait upon; she has had some experience with people and knows how the clerk feels. Then comes the young married man whose wife has sent him for a hair net. He doesn't know what color, whether it should be single or double meshed, with or without elastic,--or just a hair net. If she wants some crochet-cotton, the young husband, pick- ing up a spool of black darning cotton, will inquire, "Is this the only color crochet thread you have?" And so on through the whole list of patrons. From the richest to the poorest, from the largest to the smallest, one can tell who and what they are by the way they walk, talk, and act. Although there are many trying incidents, the funny ones are by far the more numerous, and the experience is worth while to any girl, for it helps to broaden her views and make her more thoughtful of others. -ALICE RUSH, '23. The Poet's Belief The realm in which the poet-soul dwells is un- doubtedly a far-away world to the ordinary man. The spirit of poetry bursts forth from a heart,--not from a mind,--a heart that is overflowing with the deepest conceivable passions. An understanding of and a sympathy for the feelings of his fellowmen is a great essential to the true poet, for the readers of his works look not only for pleasure and enjoy- ment from his pen, but rather for a helpful, an up- lifting thought that will duly pay them for the time they spend with him. Many have written jingles, love songs, and dra- matic narrative poems, which have gained much ap- plause; but would these alone suffice if we could not learn to know the poet by the expression of his beliefs? If there be poetry in him, his whole soul summons this expression, whereby we come to know him, and if he can supply us with that uplift- ing, that moving quality for which we have searched, does it not seem that he is near and in fond company with the living God of Wisdom? But what are we to say of two who are recognized as being among the world's best producers of verse, --Homer and Virgil? Their seemingly immortal works bespeak the fact that they must have a god--that is, a source of inspiration, hope, and higher ideals; but was this the Heavenly Father? We have proof, too, that Virgil's belief lay not in one god, but in many gods, not all of whom were faultless. However, the lack of consciousness of divine sym- pathy upon the part of these early composers who had not yet the witness of Christ, forbids the inter- pretation of their real personalities. In the realm of superstition they are lost, and the valuable and interesting material left us by them leaves us with an inexpressible coldness. What a different effect is produced by the cherish- ed memorials of those others who felt the divine touch! How many have been comforted by the soothing melody of the imperishable faith of Tenny- son! His lines "For so the whole round earth is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God" are the key to his immense chamber of understand- ing and sympathy. In the possession of these tal- ents, our "Idyll" poet stands not alone, for by his side marches an army of trustful servants, the man- ifestation of whose beliefs in the All-Powerful One is inestimable. In these lines from Lanier's "Marshes of Glynn" "As the marsh hen secretly builds on the watery sod, 44 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 46) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/18394c4b13193cb6f8669b55bd299cd3.jpg f1d3c34cbbd4f2af09d94297f313fab8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A review of the lives of others skilled in the poet- ical art would serve as just examples of the fact that, although undoubtedly they put their faith in some unknown power, this was not always the God of Love. These poems which possess a tendency to draw the soul toward the ethereal realms are the most moving and eternal of these gifts. Those artists whose pens produce these works are, perhaps, God's best instruments for leading the world to Him. Think of the tear-drops and smiles of rejoicing that are prompted by the Psalms and Hymns of those who know Him. And, after all, are not these mere- ly an expression of man's greatest passion, Love? -DOROTHY BARRETT, '22. Lest We Forget Last December Delaware High suffered the loss of one of its best known students when George Noble answered his final summons. He was a mem- ber of '24, loyal and active in every phase of school life. We shall always remember him for his win- ning ways, his manly behavior, and his splendid sense of good fellowship which endeared him to us all. Until the very last, he never gave up the hope that he would be with us again, that he would once more share our good times in D.H.S. We cannot help but feel that his spirit is even now with us in- spiring us to higher endeavor. When we think of the untold agony George went through during the long months of his illness, it seems that, to him, death must have been a God- send. Even when he had reached the valley and only awaited the time when he would solve the mys- teries of the great beyond, he had a kind word and a smile for his friends. It seems that nothing more significant could express his wonderful courage than these few lines: "It's easy enough to be cheerful When life flows along like a song, But the man worth while Is the man with a smile, When everything goes dead wrong." Certainly we who found such a true pal in George can look forward to the time when, after life's for- tunes and misfortunes are set aside, we shall find him awaiting his friends. -BEVERLY KELLEY, '24. Autumn Autumn's train comes dancing, whirling, O'er the summer's sun-baked land, Like a gala-day procession, Like a pageant's motley band. Here a dash of red and yellow; There of purple; yonder, green; Peasant woman's broidered kerchief; Spanish dancer; golden sheen Mingled with rich, royal purple, Truly worthy of a queen. Lasts it all but for a moment; Fleet the vision fades away, Yields its place in turn to Winter, Winter, cold, and drear, and gray. -CHARLOTTE RICE, '22. LaJoie One fleeting glimpse!

He loved little Lily, white Lullaby Lily, But long upon Lullaby Lake did he sigh Before to his singing, his soft, summer singing, Dear Lullaby Lily would make a reply. Then, out on the ripples, the round-running ripples, The breeze heard the lily's soft voice, as she said, "Oh go to the babies, the bad, bouncing babies, Whose mammas can't soothe them and put them to bed To fat, funny babies, and round, rolly babies, Their little hands clapping, their eyes all aglow; To sad, sighing babies, and wee, wailing babies, Their little lips trembling in wavering woe. One dear little baby, a week, woeful baby, Has found a cool bed under starlight and trees. Oh, go to the mother, the wan, weeping mother, And give her our blessing, sweet, soft, summer breeze; Go carry my perfume, my light, lily perfume, (And mingle the cool of your breath as you blow) To all of the babies, the world-weary babies, Whose little lives long for the summer to go. For I am the lily called Lullaby Lily, And I want my sweetness to make the world glad." So that's why, my darling, my dear, dainty, darling, You're sleeping--the breeze did as lily sweet bade! -MIRIAM STAFFORD, '23. Cuban Dawn I came on watch at midnight, and although the day had been intently hot, the off-sea breeze blow- ing over the deck of the ship had cooled things won- derfully, and now at four o'clock it was delightfully refreshing and without the customary sultriness that gives one that languid sort of feeling that is always felt near Cuba. The breeze which had been blowing practically all night had worn itself out, and in that calm grayness just before the dawn, the ocean as- sumed a mirrored smoothness in its very stillness. There was not a sound save that of my own foot- steps as I walked up and down the deck. It was yet but a short hour till dawn, and a creeping sense of oncoming light added to the breathless intensity, an intensity like that felt by the soldier at the zero hour of a charge. In the magical shifting of the shadows, there was seen, but a few feet above the horizon, a bank of clouds, the under line of which seemed to rest paral- lel with the ocean, the upper a jagged line, like the blade of a giant saw, the whole forming a sort of sensitive screen about the lower edge of the eastern sky. Gradually the dull grayness became transfused with a gorgeous royal purple, lined with a delicate pink; then as the sun rose slowly through its heaven- ly path, it changed in an instant the azure of the ocean to a perfect sea of gold, flooding the world, it seemed, with a Midas-like splendor. An artist would never dare attempt to paint a picture like that, for its rich and mellow beauty in unbelievable unless one can see it in its natural grandeur. But the scene changed: the sun was lifted behind the screen and the sea of gold melted and resumed its former serene azure with but a trace of gold. Again a new scene was created before me. The sun, now risen beyond the screen, smothered the ocean in a dazzling brilliant pink, with still a touch of gold intermingling with that rich blue seen only in a southern sky; a very riot of colors one would say, yet softened and subdued like the mellow beauty of a rose. I turned from the ocean view, and looked but a short distance to the entrance of Santiago Bay, with Morro Castle in ruins standing as a reminder of its old guardianship over the harbor. The soft gray of the Castle stood out from the background of the low white buildings on the slope of the hills beyond. The trees, the bushes, the grass, the very hills them- selves seemed green--a deep, rich, emerald green that brought out the beauty and brilliance of the buildings like the setting of a diamond. The ship's bell struck five. What! An hour wast- ed in merely looking at the scenery Wasted? Ah, no; for these scenes have left a picture, nay, a vision, too beautiful to be real,--a scene I shall never forget. WILLIAM E. JONES, '22. 48 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 50) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6a663357436b441340824edb5e368141.jpg 95bdd41dc27dc147380b7763ce1ffca7 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 51] [corresponds to page 49 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin A Diplomatic Romance Dear Dad: Arrived O.K. this A.M. and Aunt Ella was at the train to meet me. She is just fine and sends love. We are set for a "tea" this afternoon. I suppose it will be a bore, women sit in one corner and talk about their best friends while the men try to look interested. Oh yes! there is a special feature for this afternoon. I am to meet Count de Preles. He is representing the French Government here unoffi- cially. Thrills! Thrills! Thrills! Well, dear, I will write you all about it tomorrow as we are going to the opera tonight. With lots of love, MADGE. Dearest Pater: (That's Latin, Daddy). Well, I met the Count de Preles. He is the most insipid looking mortal, but to give him credit he is very good looking, although his clothes fit so precisely, his hair always looks just so, and his mustache is also scrupulous. I'll bet that he couldn't do a good day's work and I don't suppose he ever saw a gymnasium unless it was to take a perfumed shower bath. He is quite attentive and Aunt Ella is charmed with him. I suppose when your husband is in the president's cabinet, you have to be nice to foreigners, though, don't you? Well, I am going to play golf with the Count-No- Account today. Love, MADGE. Dearest Daddy: How are you? I am just fine! I'm so excited! I have scented a mystery. No, it isn't from a dime novel either. You know that there have been some royal Russian jewels sold to the French government. They were stolen and people believe some one brought them to this country. Dad, I think the Count knows something about it. You see the man who stole them, also stole the credentials of a French diplomat. They were not marked except only one of many so they couldn't be traced. No one knows why the Count is here. He doesn't do anything much but play golf, but I've caught him looking around at receptions as if he was afraid of being watched. I'm going to cultivate his friend- ship and see if I can't help in locating the jewels, as Uncle Ralph says that it is very urgent that they find them. Yours, MADGE. Dearest: The plot thickens. Last night we had a dance. I went with the Count, and, Dad I caught him--not with the jewels--but he was talking to the butler givign him orders. I listened and heard him say, "We'll go slowly; we can't risk discovery!" When I coughed and stepped out, he acted as if he had just asked the butler for his hat. He is clever. Then on our way home, we went for a long ride. He has a marvelous voice and is remarkably fond of telling stories and also of his many travels. Tru- ly, he is an exceptional man, but he can't fool me; he is a crook and I am going to catch him. I'm so sleepy. Good-night, MADGE. Dear Daddy: I'm so thrilled. When we were playing golf yes- terday, an aeroplane fell down right in front of us. The motor had gone dead and of course the plane crashed to the ground but fortunately the man was not hurt. He is very handsome and it turned out to be Jack Langley. He is just an ace from the war who is working on an aeroplane invention. He's very gentlemanly and Aunt Ella invited him up to- morrow. The Count stiffened and looked like a thunder cloud when he saw who the pilot was. I don't know what was the matter, whether it was be- cause he didn't like the aviator or not. Will tell you tomorrow. MADGE. Dear Dad: I've so much to tell you. I was out for a yacht party yesterday with Jack. The Count was invited, but he did not come. I wonder why? He seems to like me, but yet he is so indifferent--not that I care, except to catch him with the jewels. Anyway Jack told me yesterday that he was a French secret service man. He used to know the Count in Paris. He said Don wasn't a Count then at all, and also said that he (Jack) was over here to trace the jewels and catch the thief. I told him my suspicions of the Count, and he is going to watch him. He said he would let me help him if anything new came up. He is very nice and so attractive. I will write again soon. Love, MADGE. Dearest Pere: That is not a new kind of fruit--that is the French word for "Dad." It has been over a week since I've written any- thing but telegrams. I was so glad when I got your night letter but you shouldn't say so much when you pay by the word. I will be a miser before very long if I keep on getting economical. Things are going slowly. There is something do- ing every minute but I haven't found the jewels yet. 49 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 51) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2333665a59d29ca87d1b21b040f9d618.jpg 5340a78a3cd3f35ea3c7e4944e03b42c 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 52] [corresponds to page 50 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin The Count has been out of town for a week and if it wasn't so absurd, I'd think that I missed him. He is so insipid, and as I have found him out, he is a crook. Jack says he hopes to have him cornered in a week. I am so excited. Yours in suspense, MADGE. Dear Daddy: I just happened to think of what Grandma used to call you. Do you remember? Well! it was Jum- bo. She said she called you that because you liked peanuts so well. Don got back last week. He is the Count, as you already know. I'm letting him see me lots because I want to find out all I can for Jack. It doesn't seem to be working very well. He's charming until I talk about the jewels and then he immediately be- gins conversing on another subject, although I'm going to see if he will tell me. Will write later. Love, MADGE. Daddy Dear: I'm so unhappy. Today Jack told me to keep Don out until he had a chance to search his bags. I took him out into the garden and it was certainly a won- derful night. Don seemed terribly worried about something, so I asked him what the matter was. For just a minute he forgot himself and started to tell me but immediately put on his mask and went back into the house. Daddy, I know he was going to tell me that he liked me just a little. I read it in his eyes and the better point is that I want him to love me. I have only known him a month, yet I'm desperately near loving him--an effeminate crook. Love, YOUR HEART-BROKEN MADGE. P.S. There is something that seems strangely familiar about Don's eyes. Dear Dad: I'm so excited. It is all over--the mystery I mean. I will try to tell you just how it happened. Wed- nesday night, Jack didn't get all through searching Don's room so he told me to keep him out again last night. We went out in the park. I guess I do be- lieve in Romancing and Fate, after all, Dad, because a man attacked Don in the wooded part of the park. Did I tell you he was effeminate? You should have seen him put that man down. Jack Dempsey better look out for his title. Don tied the man's hand with a handkerchief and made him walk into the keeper's lodge, that happened to be near, and locked him in. When he came back to me I was ready to faint. I knew then more than anything else that he was safe so I just started to cry. (No! I'm not ashamed of myself because I couldn't help it). Then Don told me that he loved me but couldn't tell me anything about himself. He asked me if I could trust him. Somehow I knew then, that he was all right. I told him about Jack. He turned as white as a sheet and he asked me if I was still his brave little woman. As if I wouldn't pick sponges off the ocean's bottom after he had said that. To make a long story short. He gave me a note to take to police headquarters as fast as I could drive his car--and that was rather hurriedly. When I gave it to the chief he called his squad together and went out to the house. You should have been here then, Dad, it was great. They were all stationed at different places but the chief and he went in the house with me on his trail as close as Eliza's bloodhounds. The very first thing we saw was Don with Jack tied to a chair looking into a revolver. Then they blew a whistle and the men outside brought in three more. Dad, what do you think? Jack is the thief himself and Don caught him. They made me go to bed immediately because it was late and I was so excited. Anyway, I saw them take Jack and his confederates to jail. Don is going to tell me all about it tomorrow. I'm glad I trusted him. Your sleepy but happy MADGE. P.S. The mustache is false. Dear Dad: It's a lovely morning. I'm ready to go to lunch but it isn't quite time so I will tell you all about the mystery. Jack is an ex-convict from France. A Russian hired him to steal the jewels and he was to meet him here with them. His plane crashed and gave him an entrance into society with a little mystery to hide his real mission. Don is an American Secret Service officer who was put on the case by the French and American Gov- ernments. He knew who Jack was but was waiting to get him with his superior and his jewels. He had proof that Jack had the jewels and that is what Jack wanted in Don's room. They have Jack, the man who hired him, the proof, and also the jewels. Don has had a great raise and much honor. I'm so proud of him. Remember I said his eyes were familiar? Dad, do you remember the Montagnes that lived on the next ranch to us in Texas? The boy that I played with until I went East to school? That boy is Don. His real name is Donald Montagne. And, Dad, can't you leave Wall Street long enough to come out next week-end? Don will want to ask you something, although I don't know what it is. Yours blissfully, MADGE. --HELEN HITESHEW, '22. 50 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 52) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2f6be5bbba98060b48702032940bf445.jpg bd2c3043582d2c9d5f2ddb8e6df00717 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 53] [corresponds to page 51 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin Paula Last summer I had my first glimpse of community life, and I found it quite enlightening. I was at a camp in Vermont at the time, where were gathered girls of all types and descriptions, from every part of the United States. There was the petted mother's darling who was so trying just about bed-time when she was in the habit of being rocked to sleep. There were tomboy terrors and the peevish, ill-tempered ones, with a liberal sprinkling of winsome, happy- hearted little lassies who were like lumps of sugar in sour apple-sauce--quite a relief. And last, there was Paula. Paula was a wee mite of a seven-year-old with a large imagination, which was partly a gift of nature and partly the result of many hours spent listening to stories or pouring over volumes of fairy tales and mythes. This imagination, however, was of an airy nature which held no room for material things, and which, if she had been older, would have gained for her the epithet of dreamer. Her very expression was unpre-possessing at the outset. She was in the habit of contorting her small, deep-set eyes and full wide mouth into the most monkey-like expres- sions that I have ever beheld on a human counten- ance. Moreover, in her dress, she was the constern- ation of those who had her in charge. Her stock- ings were continually coming down; her middy was invariably unpinned at the throat; while her tie was often missing altogether; there seemed to be no means in the whole camp by which her bloomers could be kept above her knees; in short, Paula was not one to be bothered by her appearance. Alien as it may appear to this utter disregard of neatness, the child had a passion for dressing up, and "make believe" was a favorite pastime which whiled away not only much of her play time, but even much of the time when she was apparently en- gaged in other occupations. From remembered tales, still fresh in mind, or by her art of mental pictur- ing, she could at any moment evoke characters or situations to suit her taste. At dinner one noon she seemed absorbed in her own thoughts for fully fifteen minutes. Suddenly she broke her silence with, "O, Mrs. Blackburn, won't you please put on my shoes, I've been wading long enough, I think." Mrs. Blackburn, by this time somewhat accus- tomed to Paula's eccentricities, did as she was re- quested, meanwhile questioning the child about her queer statement. It seems she had tired of the table conversation, and to while away the time had imag- ined herself in wading in a "silvery brook that sparkled on the pebbles," to use her own words. She continued, "Mother lets me wade if I take off my shoes." It was one of these flights of imagination that insured and strengthened a warm friendship be- tween the child and me. One evening shortly be- fore taps I ascended the hill just behind our shack, intending to lie in the hammock and read until dark. On reaching the summit my attention was called by Paula's tentmates who came scrambling up the hill in their pajamas crying at the top of their voices: "O, Miss R--, do come down and tell Paula there isn't a ghost in the tent." Upon going down to investigate, I found that Paula's tent councillor had been detained and the child was possessed with the idea that there was a ghost in the tent, nearer which she refused to come than a tree perhaps twenty-five feet away. From that outpost of safety, she would make sudden dash- es back into the woods. On one of her frightened flights, I caught her and managed to keep her still. I hoped to divert her mind by asking what she liked to do. "Well," she said. "I like to read best." "What kind of books do you like " I suggested. "O, those about fairy people and goblins and ghosts and animals and--things." The last men- tioned was added rather absently. For some mo- ments she lay back in my arms silently thinking. Then she broke out, "Happy (that was what the children called their councillor) tells us lovely ghost stories. Will you tell us one?" Seizing my chance, I answered: "Paula, I'll tell you a story if you will promise to go back in your tent and go to bed." Much to my surprise she acquiesed. The other children followed a little behind, unwilling as yet to trust themselves nearer the tent. I thought the incident was closed, but no. Again Paula's voice held me. "There he is, I see him; he's caught behind the shelves. He can't get out." On being told that there was nothing there, she explained, "O yes he is. You can't see him though. He looks just like the tent flap. All I can see is his teeth. He can bite like anything, too. I knew a girl once who was bitten by a ghost. It hurt just awfully." Thinking she had gone far enough in her imagin- ings, and not daring to think what wild thing she would say next, I put her on her bed and told her to be quiet while I told her a story. When I finally left, she was just about asleep and I stole out with- out disturbing her. As I was thinking about the incident the next day, I could not help marveling at the wonderful talent 51 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 53) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8c4c26eac1546c258303e1214c5fbc54.jpg ad081e9cf3d0422a62544f8126d154e5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At the same time, a horror of what might become of the child if this talent were misued filled me with a sense of fore- boding. Many times have I pondered over this since I returned home, but the picture which oftenest comes to my mind is that of Paula, unconscious of self, listening to a story told at a camp-fire gather- ing, or herself acting out her own fanciful imag- inings. --CHARLOTTE RICE, '22. Home Seekers' Vision A burning summer sun had beaten down upon the prairie for days. Furnace-like, the south winds come racing out of the pulsing haze at the far hori- zon. The sky seemed of copper and the floor-like plain's once emerald disk was tinged by the heat with grayish brown. One object broke the monotony of the scene,--a white-covered wagon, its flapping canvas-top giving scant shelter to the emigrant and his wife crouch- ed within Their journey had been long,--seemingly endless to the fever-stricken woman. Suddenly the man looked up, startled. Their search for a home was over. "See!" he cried out in joy. They had come out on the edge of a wide-reaching valley. Lines of dense-leaved, billowy forest, bent and swayed in the gentle breeze. A lake with her and there a touch of foam to relieve the sparkling blue of the waves restlessly tossed and wrinkled its waters. Broad meadows suggesting clover and golden-rod were near by, and the waving of the grass was like that of the lake. Yonder, along the beach, the travelers caught a glimpse of dwellings --beautiful homes whose splendor seemed to dazzle their eyes. "See!" called out again the glad husband, his strong arm lifting the fainting wife that she might get a better view. The burdens of the past had been very great. In the fierce race of life they had been left far behind; but now the journey over, the thinly grassed prairie was nearly ended--the haven was in sight. They could almost taste the fruits of the trees and catch a scent of the clover. Hungrily, earnestly they feasted their eyes as they gazed through the opening in the flapping canvas. A passing cloud drifted suddenly before the sun. A cry of pain and disappointment surged to the wo- man's lips as she saw again a dreary length of plain whose level lines had so long fatigued her eyes. The torrid wind found not a leaf to stir. She fell back on her heated pillow. The mirage had lifted. The emigrant was alone on the prairie with his dead. --MILDRED McNETT, '23. Sentimental Value Everyone who is capable of deep feeling has in his possession some object which has no intrinsic value whatever but which he would not sell for any money. Or, perhaps the article which he prizes most is of no use to him although it would command a price if offered for sale. The things which bind this worthless object so closely to his life are the heart-strings themselves, which are caused to vi- brate with new life whenever the beloved article is presented to his sight. Perhaps it is a pressed flow- er, a handkerchief, an old school book, or a worn- out garment which never fails to revive the old sen- sations and dear memories that make life newer and happier. Perhaps we have never stopped to consider what a great factor sentiment, or even sentimentality, is in our lives. Some people are proud of the fact that they are called sentimental; others are ashamed of its. There is really no more excuse for either feeling than there is for being proud or ashamed of eating or breathing. Sentiment is a part of life itself. The past, present, and future are bound together by it; life is given unity by the sentimental regard we have for persons, circumstances, and things. Who among you has never, in the innocent idol- atry of youth, idealized some person who has after- wards proven entirely unworthy of your worship? But even after he has been shown to have feet of clay, will the sight of the athlete who was your idol to Apollo, the teacher whom you regarded as Wis- dom incarnate, the girl who seemed an unparalleled example of tenderness and unselfishness, or the min- ister who appeared as a paragon of all virtue, ever fail to revive old emotions and sobering memories which make your life better for having once cher- ished those ideals? Even though much bitterness was caused by the disillusionment you suffered, has not a new tenderness been added to your under- standing by the deep experience? To anyone, then, who has ever felt the thrill of a happy experience, the inspiration of a wonderful discovery, or the pain of a broken idol, sentimental value is an inseparable element of life; and all the harshness of struggle, the discouragement of disap- pointment and the unsympathetic attitudes of men cannot mar the memories his treasures of sentiment recall. --MIRIAM STAFFORD, '23. 52 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 54) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/dd790ef06ab7b1499bf86c52d4d495a0.jpg c3c49350cdc9d08b86136ad9d6e8b794 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 55] [corresponds to page 53 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin Forceful Magic Jack Wellington was an ordinary young man in many ways, but had turned special attention toward the age-old art which sometimes instructs, often amuses, and always entertains. His big night was at hand--the night which would either make him or break him. True, the young magician had given numberless performances for his friends, and even entertained in one of the small theaters of his city; but tonight he was to present hs [sic] performance before an immense crowd of Chi- cago theater-goers. It was to be a charity benefit; so the audience would be composed of two classes: one made up of those who were ever ready to make allowances for an inexperienced actor, while the other class was composed of those who sit stiffly in their places and seem to say, "Well, we're used to seeing all kinds of players and we know a good show from a bad one. We make no allowances and ex- pect the best for our money." Now this latter class was enough to discourage any young fellow; but had not Jack spent weeks in preparation? Had he not put special stress upon his "patter" in order to overcome all difficulties along that line and to render a performance with- out room for criticism? This tended to add encour- agement, but Jack could not help being a little ner- vous before the curtain went up. The orchestra was playing the opening number! In a moment he would face a sea of faces! The great curtain slowly ascended and with it rose his courage. He was, at once, the same cool-headed Jack Wellington who had practiced his entertain- ment without error. The orchestra broke into the closing strains of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" following the pro- duction of a large American flag on a rigid staff. The audience began to sit up and take notice. Per- haps, after all, this show might prove of interest. Jack launched into the performance with perfect ease. He pulled rabbits from unsuspecting gentle- men's coats, effected the production of bowls of gold- fish, caught live pigeons from the air, and caused cards to assume animated life. The vanishing of a young lady from a suspended cabinet, and her in- stantaneous appearance at the rear of one of the theater aisles brought thunders of applause. In fact, everything went along splendidly until, nearing the close of the first act, a spectator publicly challenged the wizard to hypnotize him. Now Jack Wellington might easily have eluded this challenge by saying that he had had no experience along mesmeristic lines and would be unable to do as the spectator requested, but Jack never thought of such an easy way out. The show had been run- ning so smoothly that he was literally taken off his feet by such a public challenge. He vaguely remem- bered promising to do as the man asked but suggest- ed postponing the demonstration until the next act, in which he was going to demonstrate mind-reading. This was agreeable to the spectator, who gloried in Jack's uneasiness. The remainder of Act One went off more or less mechanically, and when the curtain had descended, he was met by an excited brother and assistant. "You sure are in a deuce of a mess now, Jack! Why you've never had a lesson! You can't hypnotize anyone--" "Now just can that stuff, Tom," interrupted his brother, "I know it as well as you, but this is no time to lose our heads. Something's bound to turn up and, anyway, I may be able to bluff my way through. I think I know the principles." Saying this, Jack hurried away to his dressing room, leaving Tom to look after all preparations for the next act and supervise the change of scenes. In three minutes the apparatus of the preceding act was cleared away. A plain, yet attractive, set- ting stood in its place. This was to serve as scenery for the mind-reading demonstration--an act care- fully practiced and one which had promised success in the largest sense of the word, but which was now extremely doubtful in the hands of the nervous Jack. The young performer had decided to attempt the hypnotizing stunt first, leaving the remainder of the act until later, so that he might possibly overcome his inevitable failure with the more certain "Mir- acle Mind Reading," as it was advertised. The low, steady beat of a tom tom announced the beginning of the second act and was followed by the weird strains of "The Shiek." Jack, arrayed in an Arabic costume, stepped to the footlights as the curtain rose. His voice was clearly audible al- though he felt as if his heart were in his mouth. He requested the subject's presence on the stage and, when this request was complied with, began to walk the man backwards, going through meaning- less motions with his hands in front of the man's face. Every moment Jack felt worse. These impos- sible motions could not go on. Already the audience was sensing the bluff. Was so brilliant a perform- ance to be sacrificed now? It seemed inevitable. Suddenly the man's eyes closed! he sank in silence to the floor! Was this a dream? Jack Wellington was completely bewildered but knew that he must retain his composure, so he managed to turn and bow to the suprised audience. The curtain de- scended for a second, while the subject was removed.

All through the performance the thought was uppermost in his mind that he had actu- ally put the man to sleep! Surely he must be gifted with unknown powers! At length, the final encore was over and Jack was met by enthusiastic friends. Nothing gave him more surprise than to learn that the man whom he had hypnotized had challenged him on a bet which the man had made with one of Jack's friends. This friend, as Tom remarked, must have had a tremen- dous amount of faith in Jack's ability. On the following morning, the young entertainer was awakened to see an account of his success in the "Tribune" staring him in the face. Tom held the paper before the approving eyes of his brother. "Jack," he said, "did you ever see a better write- up? Why, people all over the city know of this, and from what I can gather, the mesmeristic stunt got off best of anything!" "I'll agree with you," chimed in Jack, "Hot dog! I guess I'm some hypnotist! It's a mystery to me, though, why I never discovered my abilities before." A look of disapproval spread over Tom's face. "Look here, Jack, you hate yourself too doggoned much for any use, so I'm going to put you wise to something I'd intended to keep to myself. Wait a minute." With this, Tom left the room returning a moment later with a hammer. "Say, Jack, did you ever see this hammer before?" "Sure did," said his brother; "It's the one we used in setting up some of the stuff last evening." "Well," continued Tom, "do you recall the mo- ment last night when you accidentally backed your subject against the back-drop? This hammer," add- ed Tom, "has more magic in it than you think. Last evening, when I observed the outline of the honor- able gent's ivory dome against the back-drop, I just couldn't resist the temptation of giving him a light tap on the head. I really hadn't intended to tell you, but since you've assumed such a self-satisfied atti- tude over your apparent success--" "Tom," broke in a pride-shaken brother. "You're the kind of brother and assistant to have!" Now, although Jack Wellington's pride was wound- ed momentarily, he was not the sort of fellow to miss a good joke even at his own expense, so he smiled as he shook his younger brother's hand and said, "I may be able to pass as a fair magician, but as a hypnotist--well, as a hypnotist, I'm afraid I'd be obliged to resort to your more effective method of forceful magic." --BEVERLY KELLEY, '24. Short One "Don't you feel any better, Jane?" Cora Jennings said to her sister, who was still in bed at the late hour of eight on the day they had planned to leave for New York. "Oh, dear, don't worry, I'm sure I'll be all right; I'm just fighting off a miserable cold." "Don't you want something to eat? Maybe that would make you feel better." "Oh, I don't know what I want; I want to go. We have planned this little trip for so long, and now we even have our reservations, and I am going to spoil all our fun. Oh dear, it's such a splendid day, and besides we are almost packed." "Now look here, Jane, you just forget about spoil- ing our fun and get that ache out of your system. You lie right still there in bed and don't you move an inch out of it until I tell you you can. I'll finish doing what few things are to be done." She started to leave and Jane called to her, "Well, Cora, you might bring me a little bite to eat, if you're not going to let me get it for myself." Cora left the room, soon returning with a tray of steaming coffee and hot rolls. Scarcely had Jane finished her slight meal when some one called from the bottom of the stairs, "Jane! Cora!" Who could it be? Aunt Luella from Uniontown was the only one they knew of who always walked right in, but she always told them she was coming. Presently the call came up the stairway again, a lit- tle louder this time, "Jane! Cora!" "Oh, it's Mrs. B-- coming over to find out all she can to spread over the town," said Cora. She hurried to the top of the stairs and looked down. Sure enough it was she, standing in her neat morning dress, her inquisitive face turned upwards. "I just ran over to see if you really were going, and if there wasn't something I could do," she said. The truth of the matter, as the girls both knew, was that she just couldn't keep away; she wanted to know all their plans and didn't know how to find them out without having some excuse to come over; that done, perhaps she might finally question the information out of them if she managed well. Of course she came directly up the stairs, not waiting to be asked, and found Jane in bed. "Oh, you can't go, can you?" she said as she turn- ed to Cora--"Oh, what a shame! I suppose you had all your plans made?" She looked rather question- ingly at the girls, but Jane hearing this comforting query rolled over, heaving a faint sigh, and gave Cora a look not to tell. Cora understood. "I'll tell you what you ought to have," Mrs. B-- continued; "some whiskey mixed with a little hot 54 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 56) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d643af13fe5b541c22439999fa25bdde.jpg 427c237665632c194836b4e319622849 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

That would fix you up in a jiffy. If you haven't any I'll go right home and get you some. I'll bring enough so that you'll have some to put in your suitcase, and I know if you take some now you'll be able to go." She said this and hurried home for the potion not waiting to see if they had any, for she was certain the Jenningses would hesitate a lit- tle at having such a thing around. She returned shortly with her bottle, and after seeing that Jane had taken a dose, went back home. After Mrs. B-- had left, Jane fell asleep and Cora finished packing, locked the windows, drew some of the shutters, and left only a few things undone that had to be finished at the last minute. When Jane awoke, she felt so much better that they decided to go. Finding no chance acquaintance on the train they sat and discussed every one back home from the grocery man to the president of the club, and when for the second time they had got back to Mrs. B-- Jane be- gan to feel bad again. Her berth was made up at once, and after much uneasiness she went to sleep only to be awakened by the man in the next berth, who was snoring most atrociously. She felt no bet- ter; in fact, she felt worse. After doing everything she could think of, Cora finally resorted to the whis- key. She went to the dressing room to prepare the draught, and on returning thought she knew her berth, but missed it by one. The occupant, who was none other than the afore- said snorer, was now deeply buried in peaceful slum- bers. Cora was standing over him, her hand on his pillow before she discovered he was not her sister; then in her fright and confusion she spilled the hot whiskey on him. He immediately awoke, and grab- bed her by the wrists, thinking she was trying to get his watch and money from under his pillow. Her eyes were burning with shame and horror, for you must remember she was very aristocratic and pre- cise, and was very much abashed by such a mishap; her face was flushed and her mind all in confusion, herself very nervous and quaky. To think that she, Cora Jennings, had mistaken the berth of a man un- known to her even by name for that of her sister. And too, how terrible! She had accidentally spilled the whiskey on him! What if it should be printed in the papers? What would her friends back home in Cincinnati think when they read it? Oh, horrors! While all this was nunning through her bemuddled brain, the man was sitting up in bed muttering in- coherent threats, and holding on to her wrists with such a grip that when she finally pulled herself away, they felt as if they had just been released from the stocks. She ran into her own berth breathless, pale, and excited. The patient, hearing the commo- tion and forgetting all about her pains, drew Cora up close to her, and in frantic whispers, amid chok- ing tears of shame and nervous laughs, tried to soothe her panicky sister. Meanwhile, the irate neighbor got out as fast as he could to the colored porter, who was sitting dozing in a chair at the rear of the sleeper. "There is some one in this car that is trying to rob me!" he exclaimed. "Oh, Boss, yo dunno wat yo' is talkin' about. They ain't no sech thing; for ef thar was Ah'd of seen 'em, Ah guess." "Well I guess if you swa some one standing next to your bed with her hand on your pillow ready to grab your watch from under it, you would know it." "Aw, shoot, Boss, yo' is drunk; that's what yo' is. Aw can smell it on yo' right now. Get yo' on back there to bed and stop makin' this here disturbance in this car, or I'll have yo' put off at the nex' stop. Yo' dunno wat yo' is sayin'. Youse drunk; that's wat yo' is. G'wan back to yo' berth." But the man was certain of what he said, and was certain, too, that he was not drunk; so stayed right where he was. The porter called the conductor, and explained the difficulty. The conductor was also convinced of the man's drunkenness, being able, like the porter, to smell the liquor on him. Then ensued the angry protestations of the out- raged traveling man. He was put off at the next stop, and to this day no one knows that he was not drunk, nor does any one know how Jane Jennings's threatening cold was cured with whiskey toddy. --FRANCES NAYLOR, '22. Danny Peters' Inheritance It was a sultry midsummer afternoon that settled itself upon the small group of tumble down shacks, graced by the presence of a combined general store and saloon, and endowed by its founders with the simple yet very appropriate cognomen of "Peace." This interesting little bozanza town, like so many others on the Western prairie, had gradually sprung up since the days of the forty-niners, until now it boasted of a population a little in excess of one hun- dred souls. On this particular afternoon the center of inter- est, as usual, revolved about the pouch of the gen- eral store, where several of the town characters and idlers sat about, some smoking, others dozing, and, when the spirit moved them, swapping experiences. At the time when our story opens, old Jerry Pratt, historian of the place, and an inveterate story tell- er, had just disposed of his companionable quid and was about to relate an anecdote bearing on his fa- 55 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 57) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b3529688b968bf0110bfd6090e5db7ef.jpg 4c6b5c8b41e380bfdc9bbe6d45c95e82 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 58] [corresponds to page 56 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin vorite topic--the days when he was young. "Did any of this bunch ever hear the straight of how Crazy Horse got his first taste o' fire water?" inquired the oldest inhabitant in a reminiscent mood. No one replied, and taking it for granted that he would not be interrupted, Jerry cleared his throat and began. Just at this point the conversation was interrupt- ed by a shot issuing from the saloon, and a moment later, out burst a roughly dressed individual with a white scar on his left cheek, who vaulted to his pony's back and was off. After him came Tim, the bartender, flourishing a cork-screw and shouting: "Sthop him, I say, he ain't paid for his drink. The blitherin' idot tried to puncture me, but thank Hiven, the lookin' glass is all that's busted." To catch the fellow then, however, was impossible. for the only witness to his hasty flight was a ris- ing pyramid of alkali dust far down the road. "I know that man," vouchsafed "Slim" Henderson, Deputy Sheriff. "Joe, don't you remember 'Stick- up' Jim Ramsey, who tried to lay a claim to Sam Peter's land by fake papers, about two years ago? The varmint skipped out 'a town quite sudden, af- ter a little tussle with Sam, but he swore revenge afore he pulled up stakes. I'd know that gent any- where by that pretty looking scar he carries around. Let me tell you there'll be trouble brewing afore long with such a reptile loose around here." Rising, "Slim" yawned, stretched himself, and drawled, "I'll just go over and have a little chat with the Sheriff about this. It won't do any harm to keep a watch out for this fellow's whereabouts." Jerry was first to speak after Henderson's depar- ture. "This here country sure is going to the dogs. Why a decent feller can't live secure any more." Suddenly a cloud of dust appeared on the road opposite that just taken by the man known familiar- ly as "Stickup." From the rapidity of approach, the onlookers conjectured that whoever it might be, had something of real importance on hand. The ob- scuring dust lifted, little by little, disclosing a horse, whose rider hung low over the saddle, urging the steed to greater effort. "I'm willin' to wager that's Danny, Sam Peters' boy. But what can he be in such a rush about?" queried "Spooks" Slade, district mail carrier. Their anxiety was soon set at rest, for Danny, a red-head- ed, capable looking boy of sixteen, who was an es- pecial favorite with all the residents of Peace, swung off his horse, and scarcely waiting to catch breath, exclaimed, "Dad's struck it rich at last, boys, after all these hard years of plugging. It's over along the foot of the Sawtooth somewhere; I didn't stop long enough to find out. And,--oh, yes, I near- ly forgot,--Dad wants a whole new prospecting out- fit, too." After such a long speech--for Danny--he lapsed into silence. Joe Cameron voiced the feelings of all when he said, "You bet we're all for you, son. I just felt in my bones that Sam was about due for a little change in luck." It did not take Danny long to secure the needed equipment, and with the well-wishes of all ringing in his ears, he set out for home. Just at dusk he rode in, and found Pedro Mendez, the Mexican hired man, standing ready to help him unload. The man's teeth shone white against a brown skin, as their eyes met, but there was little of humor in the smile. It was a smirk that lingered artificially. The fel- low was rather uncommunicative, but conveyed the information that Mr. Peters had been very restless during his absence, and had asked to see him as soon as he got back. As they were talking, the Sheriff, Mr. Long, af- fectionately known as "Shorty," rode up. He had just heard of Mr. Peter's good fortune, and know- ing that Danny's father must be anxious to stake his claim as soon as possible, had ridden up with the ownership papers. The conversation between the Sheriff and Sam Peters chiefly concerned the latter's new find, but when Long mentioned that Ramsey was in the neighborhood, Pedro's eyes lighted up with an unaccustomed glow. After supper, Mr. Peters drew a rough chart of the strike, explaining it all to Danny as he went along. If the two had only known they were being watched by Pedro, who had crept beneath the un- curtained kitchen window where he could distinctly hear all that was said, and occasionally risk a glance within, things might have been different. As it was they were so engrossed in study of the map, that Pedro found it easy to slip away, after he was sure that Mr. Peters had secured the chart in his boot for safekeeping. When once out of danger of discovery, Mendez slipped out behind the wagon shed, and whistled low three times. An answering whistle came back to him, and soon a figure appeared out of the darkness. "Is that you, 'Hoot'?" Pedro whispered. "Yep, and I reckon I'm on time too, Mex," said the man. "Anything new on tap?" "Si, Senor, and something important. Tell Gorgas that to-morrow, Mr. Peters rides past Black Hills. He goes to stake a new claim. He will be alone; wait your chance and then strike. Saavy? There will be a map of the strike hidden in his boot." "Looks like easy pickin', gringo. When will you join us?" asked "Hoot." "Pronto, hombre," replied Mendez. "How many are in the gang, senor?" 56 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 58) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/009364bbe0f96e70b9aa46c01a9fbc64.jpg 5d8d070592e227dd099b1eec9a653429 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Gorgas says that he won't have a whole raft of men around, like he did two years ago. 'Mem- ber how we all skidooed when Long caught us red handed a rustlin' them cattle. I ain't forgot that day yet. Well, I spose you're wantin' to know who's back. There's 'Dusty' Phillips and 'Smilin' Jack' Wilson, besides myself. Who d'ye think blew in last night? Why, Ramsey. He's been layin' low for a while, but he said it warn't in him to keep away with the old gang workin' again. I guess I' orter light out. Boss told me to hoof it right back. S'long." "Adios," was Pedro's rejoinder. He listened un- til he heard the dull thud of a horse's hoofs speed- ing off across the mesa. Then turning, he sought his lodgings above the stable to plan for the mor- row. Next morning at dawn, Mr. Peters set out on his way with a happy heart. Danny, for some unaccountable reason was ap- prehensive of his father's going, but he was almost afraid to voice his fear. The feeling remained up- permost in his mind all forenoon, although he tried in vain, by working, to drive it away. Soon after lunch he caught a glimpse of his fath- er's horse "Star," coming riderless over the plain at a terrific gallop, and his worst alarms were real- ized. Moreover, from the blood stains on the saddle, he knew there had been a fight, and that his father needed him badly. He attempted to find Mendez, but the Mexican had discreetly fled. Quickly mount- ing, the boy started out, scanning the sage brush dotted plan far ahead, for the sight which he so dreaded to see, yet momentarily expected. About mid afternoon near Coyote Pass, he found his father by the side of the road, nearly dead. A smile came over his face as Danny bent down over him and he said, "I knew you'd be here, but there's no use trying to help me, son, I'm done for. A pack of bunco men rode up at me out of that coulee, 'afore I could put up a scrap, and plugged me full of lead. It's the same bunch that hung out in these parts 'afore the Sheriff got busy. Jim Ramsey was one of 'em, son. He's always had it in for me since I gave him a lickin', a couple of years ago. Thank God, I didn't bring that chart along. It's home under the floor in the southwest corner of the kitchen. Don't let 'em get it, son." Mr. Peters could scarcely speak above a whisper, but it was clear that there was something else he wanted to say. "Danny, you've been a good boy, and I hope you'll be a better man than your dad has been. I always tried to do my duty by you, just like Mary made me promise, afore she died. My one possession is this claim, the only inheritance I can leave you. Take it, and may God protect you, my boy." He tried to speak again but the effort proved too much. Sam Peters had passed to the Great Beyond. Broken hearted, Danny dug a shallow grave, and placed a rude cross at the head; standing for a mo- mont, bareheaded, the forlorn figure of a boy who has just lost his best friend. Then mounting his horse, the grief-stricken lad turned homeward as the last rays of the setting sun gilded the far off jagged peaks of the Sawtooth; and one by one, the stars came out, casting their steely blue glitter over the earth. A day or so later Danny was seated on the top- most rail of the corral, wondering as to just what the future would bring, when suddenly his reverie was rudely cut short by the swish of a lariat whose horsehair noose settled about his shoulders, jerking him violently backwards. So stunned was he at this unexpected happening that he had no chance to resist, and when he could think clearly again he found himself bound, and being carried on the shoul- ders of two men. Where could they be taking him? Any doubts he had were quickly dispelled, for they soon arrived at an old, unused well, some dis- tance from the road. Setting down their burden, the men commenced to taunt Danny. At last wehn they tired of this, the two lowered him into the deep, dark pit, and then went on to rejoin their companions. Danny lay still for a long time, trying to make himself believe it was all a dream; but suddenly he realized the grim reality of it, and strove with all his might to tear the restraining cords loose. Then he attempted to shout, but soon saw the utter futil- ity of this, for he heard only the empty echoes. Hav- ing given up all hope of rescue, he lay quietly trying to rack his brains for a way of escape, when sud- denly in the little circle of light above, appeared one of the most welcome sights Danny had ever seen. It was the smiling, freckled face of "Spooks" Slade. "Hello there, Dan, I didn't dare come near till just now. Saw the two of 'em sneaking in behind ya, just as I got to the top of the hill, so I ducked into the brush, and watched proceedings. I'll say they took ya off the fence pretty neat. They've just flew the coop. Took your Dad's prospecting outfit, too. Just you lay still; I'll lower a rope down right off." As soon as Danny stood above ground again, they decided that no time must be lost in getting to Peace, where the Sheriff could be consulted. They arrived there in quick time, and Long pro- posed that the pursuit start as soon as possible. They agreed, and six trusty men having been chosen, 57 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 59) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1454a1dcd83f51ade410492f16da1052.jpg f0dc57f15d7878e0efd825570b3ba8ea 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 60] [corresponds to page 58 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin the chase started in earnest. Although "Shorty" thought it unwise for Danny to go along, he finally gave in, when he realized that they boy was the only one who knew the trail the claim jumpers had tak- en, since Mendez had secured the map before start- ing. It was early evening when far ahead on a stretch of level mesa, the pursuers saw the glow of a camp fire. Assured that Gorgas's band had no intimation of their nearness,--for this country was one little traveled,--the men decided to camp right where they were, in a little valley. "Tiny" Maxwell, Long's right hand man, was sent out to reconnoitre. He returned with the news that there were only six men in Gorgas's gang, and as far as he could see, no guard had been posted, so secure did they feel. He also discerned that whiskey was being used freely by all. Immediately a council was called, and the plans for the capture of the unsuspecting bandits worked out. It was decided that early next morning, they should quietly surround the camp, while all were deep in a drunken sleep, and have them under ar- rest before they were fully awake. One man was then posted as guard, and the rest left. Danny, however, was very restless. Finally, unable to stand it any longer, he went to the Sheriff and told him he could not feel secure until he had set up the claim with his own hand. He was determined on starting out as soon as possible, and "Shorty" prom- ised him that as soon as the morning's work had been attended to, he would let him have two men to go along. Just as the first glimmer of dawn appeared, the posse swooped down upon the bandits, and with very little commotion, the entire gang was taken into custody. They proved to be some of the worst char- acters in the West, and the Sheriff was glad to have these very men, since they escaped him once be- fore. True to his promise, Long gave Danny two men to act as escort, and after several hours of hard rid- ing among the rocky foothills of the majestic, snow- covered Sawtooth range, guided by the boy who picked the trail by various landmarks, they ap- proached the narrow gulch in which the precious deposit was located. All of a sudden, they became aware of the marks of a horse's hoofs in the soft earth, and proceeding with infinite caution they came to the canyon's entrance, and found that some- one must be within, for the hot ashes of a fire lay scattered about. Resolved to take no changes, Danny then instruct- ed the two men to creep into the valley a little way, and spy, while he took a circuitous route, worming his way through the dry creek-bed, to a point where he could look out upon the floor of the gulch in all directions. What the lad saw, not fifteen feet away from him, was a horse tethered, and on the side of the gently sloping hill, a rude sign announced that this land was held by Miguel Gorgas. Just as he stood there watching, several shots rang out in quick succession, seeming to come from just around the bend. Realizing that his two compan- ions must have been discovered, he slipped down again, and watching his chance, came up noiseless- ly behind a natural parapet of boulders, where he intended to take a look around. Something seemed to warn him of impending danger, and there, sure enough, flattened against the stone breastwork lay a man, intent on drawing a bead on someone. So busy was he defending his position, that he failed to notice even Danny's sudden appearance. Quick- ly the fellow fired, and turned part way 'round to reload his gun. Danny shrank back, but not before he had seen the face of "Stickup" Ramsey. Crawl- iong up a little nearer, though still sufficiently hid- den, the boy was almost able to touch his man. It was now or never. Drawing his pistol from its hol- ster, he placed the cold steel muzzle resolutely against "Stickup's" neck, at the same time ordering him to surrender, in no uncertain terms. The ef- fect was instantaneous. Perhaps more from sur- prise than fear, the claim-jumper threw up his hands, and it was but a matter of minutes before the boy and his companions had him safely fastened up with a heavy pair of manacles. The task of setting up a fresh claim was soon ac- complished, and closely guarded, and the man whose name had been a cause of terror to all the plains was marched back in sullen submission. As for Danny, whose quick thinking had marked him as a hero, he was the center of all attention, and his entrance into Peace was rivalled only by that of a conquering warrior. For the satisfaction of those who must have every- thing explained to them, it might be added that Dan- ly's [sic] inheritance turned out to be one of the richest finds ever uncovered in that section of the West- ern country. --WILLIAM BROWN, '22. 58 Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin '22 (p. 60) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7b4982db366b963262134f117971bc3d.jpg 73d5162b82038c968a61a7607e5d9f67 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 61] [corresponds to page 59 of Delaware HS Bulletin '22] Bulletin An Indian Sport In the summer of 1918 I happened to visit my uncle, who was a civil surgeon, then stationed at his camp at Atrauli, in the United Provinces of In- dia. English officials were very infrequent in that part of the country, and for this reason we became acquainted with the Rajah, the nominal ruler of that particular district. During the latter part of our stay, my uncle and I were invited to be guests of the dignitary at a celebration to be held for the purpose of raising money for the Red Cross,--a cel- ebration in which the main sport was to be wrest- ling. We accepted the invitation eagerly, for we had never before seen an Indian wrestling match. The Rajah called for us that afternoon at three. On arriving we found that there was a considerable crowd on the grounds; but everyone made way for us, and we were soon in our seats. The ground had been spaded for a space about twenty feet square, in which the wrestling matches were to take place. One side was reserved for His Highness and his retinue; the other three for the public, who throng- ed and crowded them. At about three-thirty the matches began. The first one was between two young men who were making their first appearance in the ring. As each stepped out, he was greeted with a cheer from the men of his village, who had come to see him wrestle. In an instant they were at it. Since neither of the wrestlers was very muscular, it was plain that both depended upon their speed. During the match, one old man in the front line sat wrapped in the contest. He was a man of about sixty, who was lame, and who might have been taken for the grand- father of one of the wrestlers. His lameness sug- gested the fact that he himself had probably wrestled at some time, and was now the young man's coach. When at last his pupil won the victory, he went wild with excitement, and the victor rushed to the side- lines and hugged and wept over his old grandfath- er, acting much as the Mt. Vernon players did after the Delaware game. He then shook hands with his grinning friends, and peeled off a rupee from each hand he shook, for such was the custom. The next match was between a well-built and in- telligent-looking farmer, and a harry, muscular man who might have claimed relationship to a chimpan- zee. After each was duly greeted, another match was on. From the beginning of this second match, it was apparent that it was a battle between Brains and Brawn; but when Brains got a good hold on Brawn, he was not strong enough to throw him, and Brawn eventually won by wearing out Brains. Then Brawn, in his turn, received due congratulations and rupees from his townspeople, and the next contestants step- ped into the ring. One was a man of much the same type as the vic- tor of the previous match; the other a very self-sat- isfied looking Hindu Babu. The latter was almost too fat to look like a wrestler, yet the crowd had "doped" it out that he would win. By his actions he conveyed the impression in a very decided way that he believed in the judgment of the crowd. It took him about twenty minutes to throw his opponent; but he had an excuse ready: he had sprained his wrist, he said, and that was why he did not win sooner. This last match ended the regular schedule, but a bunnia from the North, Dirjon by name, champion of the United Provinces, was willing to take on any- body who cared to wrestle with him. For a time no one seemed very anxious to do so. After a wait, the Rajah made an announcement to the effect that since this man had come all the way from Lucknow, it was a pity he had to go home without having accom- plished anything. At these words, a tall Mohamme- dan stepped out of the crowd, and took up the chal- lenge. The two then went into adjoining tents to get ready. Dirjon came out first, and took his corner amid wild cheers from the spectators. He was a man of average height, very powerfully built, with rippling muscles under his smooth brown skin. He started, after the Indian custom, to warm up, not with some selections from Walter Camp's Daily Dozen as an American might, but with an exercise peculiar to wrestlers of his country,--an exercise which I have never seen in any other part of the world, and one which combines all the contortions of the Daily Dozen in one. As one watched Dirjon's powerful body going through these motions, one could not help wondering at the audacity of the lanky Mo- hammedan who now stepped into his corner. Not a sound did the crowd utter as the two wrest- lers took their places. No time was wasted in pre- liminary feints. Like a flash Dirjon rushed across the soft ground, and in an instant literally picked up his opponent and laid him on his back in the dust. At this the crowd acted exactly as the crowd in the bleachers acts when Babe Ruth knocks his fifty- seventh homer; a noise more like a roar than any- thing else went up and continued for ten minutes without a stop. The celebration was over, but not a soul stirred in the arena for at least ten minutes; after which the crowd moved off slowly, first by ones, and then faster. The Rajah then invited us to tea, which had been prepared on the grounds; and, as we went, we felt that we had had a pleasant afternoon's entertain- ment. --JOHN R.

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.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

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.

"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. He saw very few people, avoiding them as much as possible; eating whatever berries he chanced upon, whatever birds and squirrels he brought down with his bow, and sleeping upon the ground. Often he would come upon a band of Robin Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School Bulletin 1915 (p. 28) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d9c5df2e64155021782422717e0e5826.jpg 1c37bca1b81da0e790eb7e49ea925236 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.

Description An account of the resource [page 30] [corresponds to page 28 of DHS Bulletin '15] 28 DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN Taking the bugle, he winded two long blasts, which was a standing signal in his band for a captive mem- ber to raise his hands, and for the other members of the band to rush up to the place of execution. 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.

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.

The Alumni game, or as most fellows called it, T"he game with Wesleyan," opened the season.

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.

Description An account of the resource [page 57] [corresponds to page 55 of DHS Bulletin '15] DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR BULLETIN 55 Girls' Athletics After actually haunting Miss Patterson for some time after school began, the girls of D.H.S. were finally promised basketball "next week." 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.

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.

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.

Hayes Long before the first pioneers came, Indian tribes had established a camp here on the trail leading from the lower Scioto valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. It is believed that a variety of medicinal springs may have been a factor in their selecting this as a campsite.(One of these springs is still productive on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus.) The City of Delaware was founded in 1808, the same year that Delaware County was formed by dividing Franklin County. It immediately be- came the county seat, and because it is almost at the geographical center of the State of Ohio, and because then, as is true today, it was situated conveniently on some of the main thoroughfares of the state, is was seriously considered for the site of the State Capitol before the City of Colum- bus was selected. In the early 1800's Delaware was one of the most popular health resorts in what was then known as the "west." Its Mansion House Hotel with its sulphur springs were, in fact, pictured on Staffordshire plates from England. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as the headquarters for General Harrison. But the city's greatest historical distinction probably stems from the fact that it is the birthplace of our nation's 19th President, Rutherford B. Hayes. Many relics of the city's past may be seen at the Delaware County Historical Society Museum at 157 East William Street.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Delaware Welcomes You] For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the oustanding cultural centers in the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan University. Founded in 1842 by Methodist pioneers who believed that the highest type of academic train- ing and the building of Christian character go hand in hand, the University has an annual en- rollment of approximately 2,000 students, almost an equal number of men and women, who come from homes in Ohio's 88 counties, and in most of the other states of the nation, the District of Col- umbia, Hawaii and several foreign countries. Along with its usual contributions to the com- munity in art, music, dramatics, and athletics, the University is a "bright light" which draws numerous celebrities - leaders in art, science, government, and other walks in life - to the com- munity. The Ohio Wesleyan Library is open to all and serves residents of the city and county. The Perkins Observatory, largest observatory this side of Mississippi, is located just three miles south of Delaware. It is open to the public from 4 to 5 p.m. daily. Ohio Wesleyan has many historic spots on its main campus, including the Sulphur Spring, the Mansion House Hotel, and a monument mark- ing 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 Rutherford B. Hayes proposed to his bride-to-be, Lucy Webb, one of Ohio Wesleyan's first coeds. The Mansion House was built in 1833 in the boom period of President Jackson to accommodate the stream of tourists and health seekers. The first building to be occu- pied by the University, today it is known as Elliott Hall and houses offices and classrooms. The University is now engaged in a building program which already has seen construction of two new residence halls for men and the Phillips Building at the right and is looking forward to a Science Center, a Communications building and others.

Two parking areas have been provided by the city to make it easier for you to shop and park near the business section. The last ten years have seen a steady indus- trial growth in Delaware and its environs. The chief reasons for this have been the many advan- tages we have been able to offer industries which are looking for a city the size of Delaware in which to locate. Our rail transportation reaches out in all directions. Many trucking companies also cover Delaware with their nationwide services. Four U.S. highways cross or are adjacent to Delaware. We are near enough to a metropolis - Columbus - to enjoy the advantages which such a city can offer. With regard to utilities we are served by one of the major electric power companies, an excel- lent natural gas supply and an abundance of good water. Our telephone exchange is new and has all the latest dial operated equipment. Our climate is sufficiently varied, offering us the four seasons, warm summers and mild winters with enough rainfall and long growing season which makes our surrounding agricultu- ral countryside a rich and prosperous one.

About one-tenth held factory jobs. Employment in plants within the county climbed to a monthly average of 1,900 by 1945 and is 2000 today. Principal products manufactured in the area include thermostatic controls, truck bodies and cranes, gas ranges, screw-machine products, hydraulic controls, instant coffee, canvas products and chemical specialties and brick. The labor situation is good. Most of our in- dustrial labor is local, above average in intelli- gence and skill, from which you can draw without importing an undesirable class of workmen. Besides being an ideal location for new in- dustries, Delaware offers every opportunity for expansion of existing industries, as is witnessed by the present expansion of Sunray Stove Company (see above) and the Denison Engineering Company.

There is an elementary school in each of the geogra- phical districts of the community - East, West, North, Northwest, and South. Willis Senior and Junior High School is centrally located on West William Street. Delaware also has one parochial elementary and high school. CHURCHES - The community is well served by 19 churches of many different denominations and they provide numerous outlets for religious and social needs. LIBRARIES - The Ohio Wesleyan library, of more than 180 thousand volumes, is open to all local residents and, in addition, the city-owned Carnegie Free Library in downtown Delaware serves both city and county residents. MUSEUM - The Delaware County Historical Society recently opened its museum at 157 East William Street. HOSPITAL - The Jane M. Case Hospital, set in a grove of oak and maple trees, west of the city, has just been remodeled and expanded and has a 103 patient capacity. It has both a medical and an osteopathic section. NEWSPAPER - During the past 136 years, Dela- ware and the surrounding marketing area have been served by The Delaware Gazette, a daily newspaper with a circulation of almost 6,000.

Season and family memberships are available. During the colder months Ohio Wesleyan permits many local organizations to use its newly completed indoor pool in the Pfei- ffer Natatorium on the campus. FISHING AND HUNTING - Fishermen don't have to go far beyond the city limits to make their catches. Since the Delaware Flood con- trol Dam gates were closed 3 miles north of the city a few years ago, Delaware has had its own lake which is stocked periodically. The Scioto River, in the western part of the county about 7 miles out of Delaware city also offers good fishing. Boats may be rented at both loca- tions, but all motors must be licensed. Much of the area surrounding Delaware is rich with game for hunters. One of the favorite spots, though, is the hunting area near the Delaware Dam which is maintained by the Conservation Department. BOATING - Sail Boating is a popular sport on the Scioto River. Other small crafts are per- mitted there, too. Many city residents perfer boating on the reservoir north of the Delaware Dam where private boats may be docked for a reasonable rental. Water skiing is becoming an increasingly popular sport at the reservoir. TENNIS - Ohio Wesleyan University maintains a dozen tennis courts on its East and West cam- puses. These are made available to local resi- dents during the summer when the students are away. GOLF - Several golf courses are within easy driving distance of the city, but most local re- sidents hold membership at the Delaware Country Club, just three miles south of town. It is a good nine-hole course. PICNICKING - Two parks within the city limits, Mingo and Blue Limestone, have picnic facilities. Many residents drive to the Delaware Reservoir area's picnic developments and others head west to the Scioto River's east bank. Holiday Hill, west of town, is the scene of many company and community picnics and dinners the year round and offers square and folk dancing. SPECTATOR SPORTS - Besides their enthusi- astic support of Willis High School teams, local residents enjoy watching Ohio Wesleyan's "Bat- tling Bishops" in action in intercollegiate com- petition - football, basketball, cross country and track, soccer, baseball, tennis and sailing.

It is a partner of every citizen. It is a department of each business doing work which the indivi- dual or enterprise could not do alone, but which must be done collectively with all other interests in the community. Members of Chambers of Commerce are told that they do not make contributions to the Chamber, but that membership dues are a part of the fixed overhead of each business. They are a part of the payroll for that silent em- ployee who works steadily to improve each business and the community as a whole. A Chamber of Commerce seeks new metho- ods of assisting citizens, plans for tomorrow's progress and guarantees the city an extra divi- dend of courteous, enthusiastic, efficient service.
