Our High Schools


DELAWARE County recounts with pride its thoroughbred livestock, its pro-

ductive orchards, its great university, and this same feeling of pride may well

be extended to include its twelve first grade high schools, where more than

seven hundred young people are striving to acquire the fundamental principles of happy

useful living and intelligent citizenship.


The city school systems for many years have furnished an adequate equipment of

school buildings and the physical facilities of instruction. Teachers thoroughly trained

and well paid have been provided, and enthusiastic support and confidence have not

been wanting. While the laws of Ohio have been committed to the principle of an

adequate system of public schools, and equality of educational opportunity for every

boy and girl, only in recent years has an attempt been made to carry out this principle

in the country.


In Delaware County ten years ago there were only four first grade high schools

and three of those were in villages. The number of first grade high schools has in-

creased from four to twelve, and as a result of furnishing high school advantages in

rural districts the enrollment in the high schools of the county has doubled with no

increase in population. Not only have the high schools advanced in grade and increased

in number and enrollment, but they have conformed to a common standard. Changing

gradually from a time when the high schools of the county varied greatly in curricular

requirements, laboratory and library facilities and qualifications of teachers; from a

time when there was slight acquaintance and no cooperation on the part of superin-

tendents and no acquaintance or competition on the part of pupils, we find today an

entirely different situation.


Uniform standard requirements as to courses of study, laboratory and library

equipment and qualifications of teachers prevail. Equality of education opportunity

is secured to a much greater degree than formerly, and the difficulty experienced in

transferring from one high school to another has been largely obviated. Cooperation

on the part of superintendents and teachers and friendly rivalry on the part of pupils

have stimulated school spirit, promoted higher standards, and provided an opportunity

for larger acquaintance and good fellowship. The by-product of the community in-

terest in the new school has in some instances been the reconstruction of the social

and religious life and the cooperation required for carrying out the modern rural

economic program.


The founders of the Republic based their hope on the public schools, and the

experience of succeeding generations reaffirms their hope. The best effort to improve

the intellectual life and quicken the moral and social sense of the rising generations

is represented by our schools. The supreme achievement of the school is the citizen

who, from patriotic love, intelligent appreciation and high integrity, is the surest

guarantee of the perpetuation of our free institutions. Viewed in this light only do

our schools gain their real significance.

History of Our School


ABOUT the year of eighteen hundred and twenty-eight when the present site

of Ashley was a wilderness with a few scattered log cabins which were the

homes of the settlers, who had only an Indian trail for a road, our present

school had its beginning.


The settlers in this neighborhood erected a log school house on the ground now

occupied by the residence of Mrs. Price.


Until the year of 1840 this was the only school in the neighborhood, but a new

school which was rude and consisted of only one room was erected on the north-west

corner of what is now the appleorchard belonging to Charles Maison, formerly the

Gavett farm.


The railroad passed through this vicinity in the year of 1850 and a town began

to grow rapidly. Soon after this, the district was divided and a frame building was

erected. A brick house took the place of this in the course of time, which was erected

on the south end of the lot owned by Mrs. Chesley Wornstaff.


In the sprng of 1877 bids were made for the erection of a larger brick building, which still stands.


The Ashley school was chartered as a first grade school in 1903.


The brick building was repaired but due to lack of room and modern necessities,

it was necessary, in 1917 to construct the large brick building on East High Street

which is now the best equipped school in the county.


The graduating class of '18 was the first class to have the honor of holding the

commencement exercises in the new school building.


For many years the people of this vicinity have done their best to keep up the

standards of the Ashley School, and we hope that the future generations will do their

best for the Ashley School.

History of Bellpoint High School


The present building was constructed in 1915, and since January 4, 1916, has

had its charter as a first grade high school. Professor Grant Wheeler was head of the

school for nine consecutive years. His efforts were in a great measure responsible for

its progress.


Professor C. C. McClure was at the helm for two years, from 1921 to 1923.


The present year, Bellpoint is trying an experiment, and has the distinction of

possessing the only woman superintendent in Delaware County.

History of Berlin Centralized School


THE Berlin Centralized School was founded in the year of 1915. The number

of benefits derived from the school have been many. It abolished the ten Dis-

trict Schools and combined them into one Central School. The improved equip-

ment and more comfortable facilities made school an enjoyable place. Because of the

modern arrangements, it was possible to obtain better instruction.

Seventy-seven persons have graduated from the school in the nine years that it

has been in operation.

The school has many accomplishments to its credit. The Lecture Courses and

Community meetings have brought the people together and have resulted in better

acquaintances. The Programs and School Activities have been of great benefit in

creating interest in the welfare of the school. The Games have aroused enthusiasm

and loyalty.

The successful operation of the school and the many community activities have

been made possible by the broad mindedness of the patrons, and the earnest spirit of

co-operation shown by all.

Truly, Benjamin Franklin spoke words of wisdom which all should heed, when

he said:

"If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it away from him.

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."

History of Brown Township School


BROWN Township was among the first to take advantage of the opportunity to

centralize her schools. In 1914 the people voted a bond issue of $35,000 for a

new building. It was a proud day, March 15, 1916, when Superintendent Percy

L. Ports gathered his flock from the various dwellings, old school houses, the city

hall and other sheds that had been used for temporary school purposes into the new

school house. This building has six class rooms, the high school assembly room, science,

manual training, photographic, and home economics laboratories, a recreation room,

an office, an auditorium seating 300 people. The builders made provision for the ad-

dition of two class rooms to the second floor is the present plant should prove too

small. The school has grown to the point where these rooms would be a great relief.

A unique feature of the school is the cooperative arrangement made by the Board

of Education with Ohio Wesleyan University during the administration of Super-

intendent, E. E. Ray, whereby the Department of Education of the University se-

lects the high school teachers, and pays more than half of the salaries, in return for

the privilege of using the school for observation and for supervised student teaching.

The arrangement has proved beneficial, both educationally and financially. The

Board of Education has never felt the financial stress that is at present handicapping

so many schools.

The interest of the people of the community is manifested by the loyal support

they give to all the school activities. Much of the success of the school is due to these

forward looking friends.

A TRIBUTE

School o'mine, you are to me

My treasure trove of memory--


WHO would attempt to write a history of one's own High School? We might

list its achievements, its great strides for the education of young America, from

the day of its rude log structure, none the less brave for its rudeness, to our

present substantial building whose years number almost three score. We stand in pro-

found admiration--nay something deeper, reverence, for the school which has sent out

those fine examples of men and women. Some have found renown, perhaps the most

noted of who is, Senator Willis, who plays so important a role in American Govern-

ment. We boast of our school whose former superintendant, Mr. John S. Edwards,

now acts in the state senate. We like to talk of our athletes whose prowess added

another leaf to their High School's laurel crown. But would this comprise our High

School history? No, in it must also be the small things which cannot be definitely

named, the little joys, woes, triumphs. All of these have been contained in the stu-

dents' little world. For four years our world has been square, not round. Here the

inevitable class disputes, and rivalries are all at last obliterated in one common tie,

love for our Alma Mater. Who indeed can tell what inspirations have come from

this source? Who knows what threads of romance tangled themselves around the de-

termined young hearts of her students. So live on, old G. H. S. We are with you. We

would not exchange your battered, staunch, old stairway for any marble staircase in

another place. If only your successor could have your memories builded with its newer

stone. But it must be content to carry on your task, so well begun, and to do it with

your efficiency. We know and love you, Galena High, but we cannot write your his-

tory--only pay you tribute.

History of Hyatts School


IN 1914 the people of the Hyatts School District, realizing the importance of a

good school system that their children might obtain the best education possible,

voted bonds to the amount of $25,000 for the erection of a new school plant.

They voted also to centralize their one room schools,which were scattered over the

district, into the new building. the school board at that time consisted of G. A. Stout,

Wm. Poole, James Wright, T. P. Rutherford and Fred Harter. It is largely due

to the influence of these progressive men and others equally interested, that centraliza-

tion took place. Ample room was arranged in the fine new building for all classes

and in addition a splendid auditorium was incorporated. This auditorium is the pride

of the school providing the best basketball court among the county schools as well

as doing duty for entertainments, plays and other community meetings.

Glenn Oliver was the first superintendent elected by the board and served two

years, lacking a few weeks, which were filled in by Mr. Barb. Mr. Swinehart served the

next two terms, followed by Mr. Ernsberger who served one term only. Mr. Postle,

the present superintendent is now completing his third year.

The present board consists of Ray Baker, president, A. P. Cruikshank, vice-

president, J. C. White, clerk, F. M. Hill and W. H. Kentner. Under their careful

guidance the present school year has been a most successful one. This, too, in spite

of the fact that schoolboards over the state are finding it difficult because of finances

to keep their schools running, many having to close long before the year was over.

To the present board and the late retiring members, A. V. Thomas and N. T. John-

son belongs the credit for a splendidly managed term of school. May the school con-

tinue as successful in the future as it has been in the past.

History of Orange Township Consolidated School


IN the fall of 1916, eight one-roomed schools were combined into Orange Township

Consolidated School. The building, thoroughly modern in every way, was erected

at a cost of $30,000 and was begun in the spring of 1915. The total enrollment

was 180, that of the High School being about 40. Mr. V. D. Coe was the Superin-

tendent for the first two years. The first Commencement was in 1918 when a class

of six boys was graduated. That fall, Mr. Coe was succeeded by Mr. D. L. Edwards,

who was followed by Mr. George N. Thurston in 1920. The next year the Lewis

Center Village School consolidated with Orange. In 1923 Mr. Thurston resigned

and was followed by Mr. H. G. Southwick.

The school building is located on a pleasing campus of eight acres. There is an

outdoor basket-ball court, a baseball diamond and a commodious barn on the grounds.

The school has well equipped Domestic Science and Manual Training rooms and one

of the best Science laboratories found in schools of its size. On the main floor is the

auditorium which is used also as an indoor basket-ball court. The stage has recently

been rebuilt and is now large enough for all the school and community plays. The

auditorium has a capacity of 250. In the office is a standard library, well equipped

with fiction, historical reference books, classics and a set of Stoddard's Lectures pre-

sented to the school by the classes of '22, '23 and '24.

Forty-eight boys and girls have been graduated from the High School. The

present total enrollment is 220, while that of the High School is 39.

History of Ostrander High School


OSTRANDER High School can truthfully be called one of the pioneer high

schools of Delaware County. The original building upon the present site was

built in 1884. Only elementary work was attempted for the first few years,

but in 1888 the first organized high school course was offered. At that date the High

became a reality. A three-year course was offered until 1894, when the other year

was added.

Superintendent J. W. Cross, 1888-1896, was the first superintendent of a high

school at Ostrander. He labored hard and faithfully for its success. During his first

year he taught all the high school subjects. The first class of graduates by previous

work had finished the course and were ready for graduation in the spring of 1890.

The class was composed of three members, viz: Jane Roney, Nellie Cratty, and

Frank Loveless. As far as is known all members of this class are still living. The years

1891, 1902 and 1904, found no classes graduating. The classes of 1894 and 1907

had one graduate each. The classes of 1900 and 1903 had two members each. The

largest number in one class of graduates was fifteen, class of 1918. The total number

of graduates, not including class of 1924, is two hundred fourteen. The first grade

charter dates from May 27, 1912.

The old building was made to do for both elementary and high school purposes

for many years. In 1915 an agreement was made by Boards of Education of Ostrander

and Scioto Township for a joint high school. The new addition was completed just

prior to the beginning of school in September, 1916. The old building, after some

remodeling, is still used for the elementary schools.

Many are the fond memories of the old school and of the work done by Super-

intendent Cross in this portion of Delaware County.

History of Powell High School


THE Board of Education in Liberty Township on the 20th day of August 1900,

passed a resolution establishing a High School of the third grade at Powell.

Victor Moon, Ph. B. was elected the first principal. August 15th, 1905, the

High School was raised to the second grade. On October 21st, 1907, under the

principalship of Edgar Law, the school was raised to a High School of the first class.

In 1911 the Board purchased a new site and erected a new building in which

over 200 children now enjoy all the improved advantages in acquiring an education.

The building has the distinction of being the first centralized High School Building

erected in Delaware County.

History of Radnor School


THE Welsh pioneers of Radnor township were the friends of education. Shortly

after establishing this community, when their children reached school age, they

united and built a log-cabin school house. In 1821 there were three log school

houses in the township. The school term embraced three or four months at the most.

The teachers received from $9.00 to $12.00 per month salary and boarded around in

the homes of the community.

About 1865 a two story brick building was erected in the village of Delhi as the

community was then called. This building was dignified by having two rooms. At this time

there were seven one room schools in the township, so great was the increase in
population.

The interest in education kept pace with the material development of the people.

In 1903 an addition of one room was made to the building in Radnor. Four years

later the state department of education granted a charter for a second grade high

school in Radnor. Mr. Ira Gregory was made the first superintendent of this school.

In 1908 another room, the fourth, was added to the building to accommodate the

high school. In 1914 it was decided to centralize the schools of the township. A bond

issue for a new building was voted upon. In 1915 the present building was begun.

It was ready for use in February 1917 when the charter was raised to the first grade.

The dedication services were held in October of 1918.

The present structure is a modern, sanitary, well lighted and heated, fireproof

building. This, it was thought then, would last for a full generation. But, even now,

there is a crowded condition throughout the primary, elementary, and grammar grades,

besides, there is insufficient space for class work in the high school. No provision was

made for a gymnasium or auditorium for public gatherings of any sort.

While this condition cannot be regarded as pleasant or immediately profitable,

especially to inter-scholastic contests and community work, there is a source of satis-

faction in the present situation. The bond issue was kept within the proportions of

the tax duplicate and is being paid very easily as the bonds come due. Also, when

centralization took place here, this type of school was entirely in the experimental stage

and many townships made grave errors in the construction of their buildings. The

buildings are not suited to the needs of the community and school as well as they

should be. When the addition is made to our building much will be gained from the

mistakes of those who are not now in a position to correct them.

History of Sunbury Public School


THE first school building in Sunbury dates back near the Fall of 1816 when the town was

laid out. This building, a hewn log one, was situated on the south west corner of the public

square.

Some fifteen years later, on the east side of the square, a brick building was erected

which was torn down after serving the town as school building and church for sixteen years.

In 1847 the school was transferred to Science Hill, on the corner of Harrison and Mt. Vernon

Streets. Part of the building is now the dwelling of Charles Utley and family. The other part

moved east on Harrison Street, is the dwelling of James Lake and family.

In later years Col. G. A. Frambes started a select school for advanced scholars in the

building on Columbus Street which is now owned by Mr. A. C. Myers. When the Town Hall

was built in 1868, the lower room was used for this select school. Col. Frambes and Lawyer

Robinson in turn being the Instructor.

In the Fall of 1874 Mr. G. K. Sharpe came to Sunbury as superintendent of schools. He

commenced at once to grade the school, and to work towards the formation of a High School.

The advanced pupils met as before at the Town Hall, and the younger ones in the building on

Science Hill. His aim was accomplished, and Miss Carrie Peck was the first High School Grad-

uate in the Spring of 1878.

On July 4th, 1878 the corner stone of a new brick building was laid. This building is lo-

cated diagonally across the street from the building on Science Hill. Soon after school opened

in the new building, a fire destroyed the wooden interior. So the scholars were forced to use

their former buildings a while longer.

Following this Mr. Sharpe remained two years. Some of the Superintendents who have

followed him are Messrs. Hoffhines, Woodmansee, English, Propst, Scott, Long, Storms, Yeager,

Bennet, McClain, Durant, Bradshaw, Phillips, Utley, St. Clair, Myers and McFarland. Of this

number without doubt Mr. Milton Utley has given the school the greatest number of years of ser-

vice for he was connected with the school as Principal, Superintendent and District Superintendent

for sixteen consecutive years.

In the school year of 1894-95, under the superintendency of Mr. R. B. Bennett the third

grade charter was changed for one of the second grade. Eunice Price and Percy Ports, the first

graduates of a second grade school graduated in the Spring of 1896. Through the efforts of Supt.

H. W. Bradshaw, the change to a frist grade was made in the Fall of 1905. The class of the

Spring of 1906 decideed to take second grade diplomas rather than go another year. So the

first class to hold first grade diplomas was the class of 1908 with Mr. J. J. Phillips as Super-

intendent.

The building was remodeled in 1913 to the present structure. On account of the increased

attendance and the requirements of the state, another change is to be made this year. This will

be in the form of an addition sixty-eight by ninety-four feet, joined to the east of the main

building by a thirty foot corridor. This will provide for Physics, Chemistry, Manual Training

and Domestic Science laboratories, a Rest Room, a Music Room, joint Auditorium and Gym-

nasium, an Assembly Room and four Recitation Rooms.

An Alumnus.

SIX of Delaware County centralized schools are fortunate this year in having these

two prominent music teachers as instructors in their schools, Mrs. Goble being

employed at Ashley, Ostrander, Bellpoint, and Berlin, and Mr. Canfield at

Powell and Orange.

Mr. Canfield got his degree from Ohio North University at Ada, Ohio. Later

he took work at State Normal College, Miami University. Also post graduate work

at Chicago. For two years Mr. Canfield was head of Public School Music Department

of Public School music at Defiance Public Schools, and three years a teacher of methods

in Defiance College. Five years were spent as supervisor of music in the Delaware

Public Schools and the last six years as supervisor of music in the centralized schools

of Delaware and Franklin counties.

Mrs. Esther Freese-Goble is a graduate from Ohio Wesleyan University School of

Music majoring in voice and public school music. Since graduation Mrs. Goble has

Senior Class History

The Senior class of 1924 entered High School with an enrollment of thirty-four.

Like all Freshmen we had visions of the highest order. We entertained the brightest

prospects of success in our High School work and were always ready to indulge in the

many good times usually experienced by High School pupils.

We have now come to a full realization of our early hopes and ambitions and

whatever the future may hold for us, we will always have the fondest memories of

Ashley High.

We are not boastful, but proud of our record. We have taken honors in basket-

ball and football. We have been well represented in the debating teams, three of our

team this year being members of the Senior class. We have taken active part in the

different plays and operettas which the school has given.

Now as we are leaving School Life for Life's School, we are happy in the thought

that we have done our bit in contributing to the interest and welfare of our school.

We are very grateful to the entire faculty for their patience, interest, and their efforts

in our behalf, and we will never lose our love and respect for dear, old, Ashley High.

Class Motto: "Out of School Life into Life's School."

Senior Class Poem


We, the Seniors of twenty-four,

Full of knowledge, and seeking more,

Are sorry to leave this dear old school,

In which we learned to obey the rule.


We aimed to make each year the best,

And we are sure we've stood the test.

The wisdom that we have in store

Is greater than the class before.


Tho' the way we trod was rather rough,

We've reached our goal quite soon enough.

We're sure we've learned our lesson well;

However, some may us excell.


And now's the time to be revealed

The knowledge we have kept concealed,

It shall be put to some good use;

For failure, there is no excuse.


As into life we each one go,

It's up to us, as we all know,

To make success our aim in life--

To win thru'out the endless strife.


So, as we leave this school so dear,

And know the future's drawing near,

We're sure we ne'er again shall find

Such friends as those we leave behind.


GLADYS ROSECRANS.

Junior Class History


In 1921, twenty-seven boys and girls entered High School as Freshmen. Like all

Freshmen they were timid but as time wore on they all grew more courageous. Most

of them were able to pass on to the Sophomore class.

As Sophomores they showed their first talent in the operetta, "The Windmills

of Holland". Another event of the Sophomore year was the initiation of the Freshmen

frightening some of them very badly, but they all recovered soon.

As Juniors they have shown ability in athletics and are also doing their share in

making a success of the debate.

They hope they will all be Seniors next year and that thay year will be as full

of victories and good times as the last three years have been.

WAYVE ROSECRANS, Junior


___________________


Sophomore Class History


The Sophomores entered High School in 1922 with an enrollment of twenty-

four. This year they continued with the same enrollment. During the year the most

witty member and five others withdrew from the class.

The Sophomores have shown their ability in dramatics. Freda Shaw played the

leading role in "Old Louisiana" and other took several minor parts.

In athletics Jane Powers, Albert Barton and Marvin Hack have received places

of distinction.

As the class of '26 they intend to keep up this good work to the final goal.

JANE POWERS, Sophomore.


___________________


Freshman Class History


In the fall of 1923 a group of thirty boys and girls entered their first year of

High School with varying emotions, some frightened, others bold, and others ready

to take anything that happened. We were initiated by the Sophomores which was a

trying process. Then we directed our attention to our studies until something else

diverted us.

About this time the mid-year exams started. Some of our number met their

Waterloo and dropped from the class but most of them still struggled onward.

In March the intramural games were put on. The Freshmen girls showed their

lack of training but the boys did well.

Now the final examinations are on hand. We hope the most of us will manage to

reach the Sophomore goal.

"Beth" came to increase our number in the

Senior Class History


ON the thirtieth day of August, year nineteen hundred twenty, a group of ten timid

little beings, all covered with green, presented themselves before the dignified

upperclassmen, who allowed them the meek and lowly station to which custom

entitled them. Outside of a mania for playing tag in the hallways and a craving for

lollypops they seemed human enough.

The first year Irene Piatt, one of their number found the hill too steep and fell

by the wayside. From here she was later rescued by Jack Fraker. The other nine made

the grade smoothly enough. Mr. Ernsberger, Miss Stultz and Miss Racey kindly

watched over them.

The summer preceding their sophomore year Freda Rhodes moved away, leaving

but eight in the class. The year was spent in chasing freshies and keeping out of reach

of Miss Racey and Mr. and Mrs. Postle. This year they contributed to no small extent

to the school, winning the county basketball championship.

The year of twenty-two saw the loss of two more members of the class. Clifford

Holly became a chauffeur and Lois Cullins left the class ship to embark in a row boat

of her own with Emory Strater at the other oar. The remaining two girls were honored

with parts in the High School play, "The Professor's Mummy", one boy received a

basketball letter and three boys made the base ball team. Mr. Postle, Miss Adams and

Miss Beery laid out the year's plans.

The senior year saw only five members returning, Russell Quaintance dropping

out to seek his fortune in Columbus. Miss Platter took the place on the faculty vacated

by Miss Beery. Ted and Floyd made basketball letters and Ted, Floyd and Arthur

were all on the baseball nine. Floyd also made a debate letter. 'Tis with mingled sad-

ness and joy that the class approaches graduation. Sadness in leaving forever the joyous

halls of Hyatts High and joy that it is a task 'finished and well done.'

Senior History


WHEN the illustrious class of '24 entered Orange High School it numbered nine--

Thelma Brintlinger, Dorothy Whetsel, Alma Rannebarger, Helen Boyd, An-

na Gallager, Catherine Brenner, Beth Kilpatrick, Edgar McGuerer and Clar-

ence McGuerer. That year we were initiated into the intricacies of Algebra, Latin and

General Science and we had to learn that mere "Fershies" were not allowed to hang

their wraps on any hooks they pleased. There were many memorable happenings, es-

pecially in General Science class. Chief among them were a glue-pot and Anna Gal-

lager, a telescope and Alma Rannenbarger and a siphon with all of us.

Probably our chief aims were to get over our greenies and to get out of exams. In

this last, most of us succeeded in part and in part all. That year we lost three of our

members. Catherine Brenner, Alma Rannebarger and Helen Boyd represented the class

in the County Track Meet.

The next year our ranks were increased by Oscar Clymer and Charles Nease.

Because of his propensity for windiness, Oscar was elected cheer-leader, an office which

he filled very well. Beth Kilpatrick represented our class on the Negative Debate

Team at Radnor. Four of the girls covered the class with glory by their fine work on

the Basketball team.

We entered our junior year with the same number as we had the year before.

The Seniors had the honor of reciting with us in Physics, Latin, History and English,

an honor which they did not appreciate as much as they should. The class gave a very

successful box-social in March to raise funds for the Banquet. This year three of us,

Oscar Clymer, Alma Rannebarger and Beth Kilpatrick were in the debates. The

Junior-Senior Banquet was held Friday evening, April 13, but nevertheless it did not

seem to result in bad luck for either class. Dorothy Whetsel was chosen for a part in

the Senior play and Oscar Clymer represented the school in the County Oratorical

Contest, thus adding to the glory of our class.

Last fall six of us entered with the full rank and glory of Seniors. What we

lacked in quantity we made up in quality. Two of the girls gave a weiner roast in

the fall, at which "a good time was had by all". Again, the same three of us will be

in the Debates and this time we hope to win. Oscar Clymer will give the Oration

again this year. The Senior play, to be given May 9, is "The Little Clodhopper". All

the way thru we are the best Senior Class ever. Commencement will be May 14, at

which time we all hope to go out of Orange High School as students forever.

Senior Class History


THE largest class that has ever graduated from this building has now completed

its high school course. Six of our class were honored by starting their school

career under Miss May Duffy. They are: Rosalys Case, Ruby Grant Pennell,

David Perry, Thelma Richards, Ila Chambers and Ivan Bayles. After seven years

of hard work we entered the eighth grade. Under the competent hand of Mr. Lester

Grace, our class of eighteen entered high school. Since then we have lost some mem-

bers and gained a few new ones. Those who joined our class since we have begun our

high school career and who are still with us are: Alice Dildine and Margaret

McCord.

Our Freshman year was uneventful as most Freshman years are, although we

enjoyed it very much.

During our Sophomore year we gave a Carnival which was a great success.

Our Junior year was very interesting. Three girls and three boys participated in

Basketball. Our Junior play was entitled "What Happened To Jones". the com-

munity responded well and the play was enjoyed by all. Soon after the play the county

debates were given. The Junior class was represented by having three members on the

negative team, namely: Ruby Grant Pennell, David Perry and Caroline Howard, and

three on the affirmative, Rosalys Case, Thelma Richards and Ivan Bayles.

The next event of importance was the Junior-Senior banquet. The Chapel room in

which it was held was beautifully decorated with green and gold, the class color of

'23. After a three course dinner was served a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.

We ended our Junior year with the thought that it was the most enjoyable year,

we had spent in High School.

On the first day of our Senior year we added a new member to our class,

Margaret mcCord, making fourteen in all Leonard Kirkpatrick has been our class

President ever since we started our high school career. Although this year has been

uneventful, it marks a milestone in our lives.

In March we began to realize our High School days were nearly ended. The

play "Golden Days" was selected as our class play. Diplomas and invitations were

chosen and we were hard at work on the Delcoan. Seven of the members of our

class again took part in the County Debates.

We ended our High School career May 23, 1924.

In Memoriam

[photo: A. E. Goodrich]


ALLISON E. Goodrich, one of the steadfast co-workers for the Liberty Township

Centralized School, died January 20, 1924. It is to his memory we now turn.

We have lost, in him, a staunch friend and loyal supporter, whose thoughts and

deeds were always turned toward our school. We miss this personal association with

him; however, his memory will not end with the visible tributes he has left at the

school building, but will live in our lives forever.


--- (Mrs.) MARJORIE M. WILCOX.

In Memory


ONCE more that curtain, behind which the progress of life goes on, rises and Powell High

School enrolls a parting class. Greetings and farewells are passed from sad lips to school

mates of the several years that have just passed. Once more the old building closes its

doors for a short rest of three months. On the opening in the fall a number of familiar faces will

not be seen in that hall of study, although back in nineteen hundred and twenty-four they were

the leading class in promptness.

To look forward, it is plainly seen that there will never be a time when the parted class

will all assemble in the same room as they did in their school days. They will be scattered as

the thistle before the wind. To be sure there will be happy meetings of parts of the class but

we feel safe in saying that there will never be a time when all the members of the class will

again meet as an unbroken unit.

So we see it our duty to bid the faithful teachers, who have directed our work, the school

mates, the old building and all a sincere farewell.

We Finish to Begin


(Senior Class Poem)


Four years ago we entered High,

The road ahead seemed hard and long,

But time indeed speeds quickly by,

The four long years are gone.


As Freshmen we our tasks did do,

We bravely conquered as we went,

We had our fun and yet 'tis true,

We have but little to repent.


The next two years so fast did pass,

We scarcely thought them through,

But twenty-four arrived at last;

We bid our High School Days Adieu.


And now schoolmates we leave to you

A royal record to be your aim,--

To do the best that you can do

And carry on the High School's fame.


We wish to thank our teachers all,

And classmates, now that we are through;

We know each one will win success,

For we have been steadfast and true.


And now that we have reached our goal,

May we be faithful to the end;

Life will but sterner lessons teach,

For we but finish to begin.

Junior Class Poem


The Junior Class, as may be found

Is not altogether real sound.


But more than likely the "Lucky Seven",

When they die will all go to Heaven.


Ralph Wright in History is very fine,

He is the one who makes the "Class" shine.


William chambers in Basket Ball has acquired much knowledge,

And soon he will be the coach of some great college.


Although William McKitrick is a sparkling bright lad,

If Mabel should move her seat he'd be very sad.


Robert Perry is not so very rough,

But when he is around the girls he can show his stuff.


Marie Blaney is a quiet little girl, as we all know,

but she would be somewhat different if she had a beau.


Mabel and Florence are chums, always together,

But if they should leave us, it would make the "Class" no better.


Still if you will stop to think,

The Juniors, are not all on the blink.


R. P. '25.


Sophomore Class Poem


As I sat thinking of days gone by,

A Vision seemed to pass before my eye;

It was hard to tell when it could be,

But I concluded it was about '33.


My easy chair like a train seemed to glide,

"Your ticket" said the conductor, by my side;

He seemed to appear quite familiar,

On second look I perceived Mr. Wheeler.


He seated himself and we had a chat,

I asked him of friends and this and that,

He told me of all our Sophomore class,

Of every lad and of every lass.


Velma Case had become a rich man's bride,

Carrol Thomas had long since died,

Dorothy Case had joined the American Red Cross,

And Marie Thomas over a household was boss.


Paul Perry plays ball with the leagues each day,

And Laura Maddox is an artist of the modern way,

While Harrold Locher is living a hermit's life,

Because he can't find him a suitable wife.


Darrold Jones was lost at sea,

By the last report that come to me;

This constitutes our little class,

Which was much larger in the past.


All this he told me then turned to his work,

The train made a turn then a terrific jurk,

I looked up and there stood my son Jim,

"Don't whip me mother, it was only my machine".


"Don't cry my boy, I know it was in play,

But don't treat the furniture in such a rough way".

The child went out of the room with a scream,

While I stood thanking myself for it was only a dream.

That Freshmen Class


Of the Senior class we all may boast,

And the Juniors too, are a goodly host;

The Sophomore's work we can't condemn,

So all three classes we'll recommend;

But the classes all from the first to the last,

Give it up and down to 'That Freshman Class'.


When someone cuts a few pranks or so,

The Seniors shake their heads 'No, No';

The Juniors are not guilty at all,

And the Sophs to such an act wouldn't fall.

They all declare they never saw such 'sass',

And blame it onto 'That Freshman Class'.


When the teachers give the Seniors a round,

And call the angelic Juniors down,

Present to the Sophomores a piece of their mind.

All of this bunch are feeling sublime--

But they don't stop at once and let it pass,

They take out their spite on 'That Freshman Class'.


When the Seniors get to heaven and receive their crowns.

When the Juniors are robed in their silken gowns,

When the Sophomores are playing on their golden harps,

When the Glee Club is singing like a thousand larks,

If something goes wrong in that great mass,

Powell High will cry out 'that Freshman Class'.

CAROLINE HOWARD, '24

Alphabetical Caricature


A is for a pretty girl, Alice is her name;

She is very jolly, but never is she vain.


B is for Blanche, whom every one knows,

Will always have need to stand on her toes.

And she's going to college after that Beta pin.

And also for David who is usually called Coach.

We'll remember it in happiness through all our coming days.

And also for Ivan who comes at Dessie's call.

We'll hand it to Ivan, he sure holds the fort.

Who are always quite prominent in a basket ball fuss.

A place to be useful and a place to be kind.

Its printed quite boldly where we make a mistake.

The Under Classes


Here is the jolly Junior bunch of S. H. S. Of the class Sherm Weiser ranks first and Chuck

Stout second as clowns for a circus. Helen Morris' and Frances Perfect's answer to why they sit

near someone during exams is that it is due to a new science law that "One's grade varies in-

versely to the square of the distance from your neighbor." Barker, "Heck" Blaine and "Herb"

Deering flunk exams because the "oil" on their hair causes brains to slip. In Caesar, Virginia

you will find following Julius where his long marches wind. Helen Ziegler still trods on the

Frosty Lane. Mason Hayes, Ethel Matthews, Russell Weiss, Kenneth Roof, and Boyde Hoskinson

are badly afflicted with Seniorism. Frank Vanauken is so particular that he raves if a period

is up side down. Bunice Vermilion's themes are rare because they aren't well done. Ralph Piper

is our star athlete. Nelson Laughery, Mildred Lahmon, Laura Vermillion, Lena Bohnam, Howard

Cring, and Owen Meredity have organized a "Seek no Farther Club."


In 1922, what is now the Sophomore Class started to Sunbury High School as green as any

class who ever entered High School. We numbered fifty-two, but now we number twenty-two.


We will now try to introduce our class and their ever lasting By-words. Eddie--"Oh golly!

I'm in love." Clyde--"The girls don't worry me." Alma--"Gee, I love to play golf." Frieda--"Oh

dear." Harold--"I dunno." Burrell--"Got your lesson?" Helen S.--"Oh you crumb." Lila--"Oh

raspberries." Ward--"Oh shoot." Ralph--"Yes, I guess not." Gerald--"Go to it." Merrill--"I'll

just bet with you." Phyllis--"Oh heck." Eunice--"My gosh." Percy--"Now you quit." William--

"Oh criminey." Mary--"You don't say so." Thelma--""Yes sir, by golly." Olive--"I ain't sure."

Helen Davison--"Who cares" Ethel--"An't that the cat's ankle?" Lawrence--"Oh you make

me laugh."


The Freshmen class are proud of Caroline, Evelyn, Frances and Nellie as basket ball play-

ers. They feel equally disgraced over the fact that Paul, Quentin, Orville and Lawrence led the

school in demerits. John hunts all noon for brick stretchers, while Edwin giggles. In Latin,

Bernice works, Carleton shirks, Hayden forms the third person plural of the perfect, and Leroy

often used the word "lacking." Oky, Henry Stith, and Hoyt are proud of their red heads and

tempers. Mary Blaine has quite a case on Lloyd, the heart smasher of the class. Charles has a

mustached, Lula bobbed hair. Harold and Mae are the bashful newcomers. Dean is the expert

snow baller, Ruth the star speller, Elizabeth the rail, Kerfoot the well groomed chap, Henry B.

the monkey, Larue the sly one, and Lucile the black-eyed beauty.

Grand-dad Goes to the Tournament


"I'm a grand-dad. My grandson Joe goes to High School and plays basket-ball.

His coach says he is an excellent feller and his teachers work all night to bring up

his grades so he can play.

His school has held a long record for basket ball, sometimes good and sometimes

not so good. Basket ball is like the hog market sometimes up and sometimes flat.

Well Joe's school had been playing all year and Maria kept dingin' at me to go

and see him play so when I heered that they were goin to have a big basket ball game

up at Delaware, why I sez to Maria "Lets us go". So Maria and me went with Joe's

pa and ma up to D. one night in the lizzy.

There was more dust wagons in town that night then horses at our old county

fair, so we hitched the ford away out of town and waked up the street til we come to

a big buildin that folks was going into like flies in an open molasses can.

I hung onto Mana's arm and she follered Joe right into that owful mob, Joe

plowed right up to a winder when a feller gave you a piece of paste board for fifty

cents.

We went up step after step and when we got up at the top why Joe left us and

said he'd go and dress, but when I seen him a little bit later I thought he'd gone to

undress.

Well we went in and I never seen such sights, why right plum in the middle

of the floor was a canvass big enough to cover my hay stack and the floor was

washed up like a Parchesi board.

Jist as I got to talking to a man about the price of wheat, why a whistle blowed

and, well I can't tell it you've gotta go and see one. Why they had a baloon afloating

in the air and every feller on that floor was after it and right in with em was Joe

racing like a calf jist let out.

Ever feller in that crown was yellin and some girls was cryen rah, rah! rah! and

I was beginin to think there was a fire and started to go when sombody shot a gun

and Maria went into fits.

Some feller says its over and I sezs I hope so. I'd rather see a dog fight any

day and right then and there I made up my mind to support the league of nations.

State Championship Team


The Bellpoint Basketball team, playing through a season of thirty-two games

undefeated and annexing the State title, can lay claim to one of the greatest small

school teams in the state. After taking the County and District tite last yer, Bellpoint

was defeated in the Sate Finals by a one point margin. This year the team started in

with the determination to sweep aside all opposition which culminated in the defeat

of Archbold at the State Finals at Columbus for the State Championship.

Captain McMillen, Thomas and Moore made up an offensive trio with which

no defense that was met could cope successfully. While Macklin, Freshwater and Cox

presented at all times an airtight defense.

GIRLS' TEAM


The Bellpoint girls, after a number of years of inactivity, were reorganized last

year. At the end of the playing season they were entered in class B at the tournament

and won. This season, due to the excellent playing of each individual on the team, they

were able to enter class A at the tournament, and after fighting with three fine teams,

again won. The work of the center, Inez Smart, was most excellent, lacking two

points of making the highest score of any individual. Due to the splendid work of our

guards: Gladys Heath and Gertrude Aldrich, our opponents were able to score only

sixty-six points to our one hundred and thirty one. The forwards, Edna Heath and

Catherine Patingale, were not only able to locate the basket but also to play a fine

defensive when necessary. The Subs, Chlorine Butts, Florence Thomas and Lillian

Zimmer will be due the same recognition as the other members, for they were always

ready.

The Football Review


The football season was marked with success for the High School team. What

they lacked in preparation was made up in "pep". Dr. Whipple was employed as

coach and soon had the boys in condition to play.

"Bert Carter" was chosen and proved his ability. "Curly" Carter was

chosen as student manager.

The first call for practice brought out five lettermen and a number of other

candidates making a squad of eighteen. After a week spent in drill on fundamentals

we played our first game at the Ashley Fair. Galion came down with an exceptionally

well trained gang of twenty-two boys, who gave us our first defeat. The next week

the Delaware team came to Ashley to show us what they could do to the Ashley

Farmers. Our fighting spirit was up by this time and Delaware returned, sore and

defeated.

The next game was played with Mt. Gilead and we were forced to lose another

score.

Drill and good training began to show. We next journeyed to Upper Sandusky

and surprised the people of that town by giving them a grand defeat, altho three of

our strongest players, Jeffrey, Bennett and Jolley were laid out early in the game.

This caused Upper Sandusky to rally but the Ashley boys held them at the twenty

yard line for the last three minutes of play.

We played at LaRue the following week. Wilson substituted for Jeffrey who

was out on account of injuries. The AShley team showed their superior playing in

the number of successful forward passes and line gains. The score showed that the

LaRue team was far out-classed.

A delayed game was played with Westerville, Oct. 19. Circumstances and the

team's condition were against us, also the score.

Our last trip was to Centerburg. The pep of our team failed in this game and

we suffered defeat, the game being noted for its lack of football on both sides.

The last game of the season was played with the Alumni. It was played in the

rain and every one got a laugh out of the game. The High School won by a score of

six to zero.

The following are lettermen: C. carter, K. Shults, H. Shoemaker, G. Hershey,

C. Haughn, R. Lea, L. Carter, P. Bennet, E. Jolley, L. Jeffrey, L.

Wilson, R. Jacoby and H. Vanausdal.

BASKET BALL REVIEW


At the close of the Football season the boys turned their attention to basketball.

After a few practices the team was selected. The first county basketball game was

played with Berlin which resulted in a victory for Berlin. However the games with

Centervillage and Radnor gave us two victories.

Galena, our next game, was played at Sunbury and resulted in a hard fought

victory for Ashley.

The game played with Brown was in Ashley's favor at the end of the first half,

but resulted in a defeat for the Orange and Black.

Orange was the last of the county games and added still another victory for

A. H. S.

In drawing for the county tournament Ashley received a by. Their first game

with Bellpoint resulted in a victory for Bellpoint.

The letter men were as follows: Fordwards: Crawford Carter, Paul Bennett;

Center: Keneth Shults; Guard: George Hershey, Edgar Jolley, George Benedict.

Sidney Stone and Albert Barton have done their share playing as substitutes for

the first team this year and are very promising players for next year.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL


The High School this year was fortunate enough in having a girls' team, all of

whom were on last year's team. In winning eight out of eleven games, the one with

Galion was considered the most exciting. It ended with a tie score but in the next

five minutes Ashley changed it to 13-9. They lost to Brown when Iren and Veta

were put off the floor and Madeleine was knocked out. But Ashley did not look on

this as a defeat and the game was finished with four players.

Then came the tournament at Delaware in which Ashley drew a by and then

playing Berlin, who proved too much for Ashley as the score shows, 4-10.

Letters were awarded to the following: Fordwards: Thelma Davis, Ruth Kohler,

Jane Powers; Center: Irene Place; Guards: Madeleine Barton, Veta Rebo, Opal

Renz.

Berlin boys played 19 games and lost 6 during the 1923-24 season. They made a total score

of 616 points to their opponents 445. Their average was 684 per cent.

Glenard Buell was the highest individual scorer with 310 points to his credit. Lawrence

Davenport came next with 130 points. Afton Ross, captain, played a consistent game as guard and

contributed much to the success of the team. Neil Dunham and Maynard Dominy demonstrated

fast floor work and succeeded in scoring many points. Both of these men will be in the lineup

for two more years.

Although we are losing Glenard Buell and Afton Ross, we have very promising players,

capable of filling their places. Prospects for next season indeed encouraging.

The Berlin Girls have played 18 games during the 1923-24 season of which they won 14

and lost 4. The total score for all 18 games for Berlin was 205 points, while the total for our

opponents was 100 points. The team's percentage is .777.

The highest score for Berlin's individual player was made by Mildred Piatt, who played

left forward. During the season she succeeded in scoring 44 field baskets and 12 fouls which

counted 100 points for Berlin. Louise Furniss, forward, and Florence McNamara, center, both

came through with 7 field baskets each. Anna Mae Cox and Alice Evans proved a pair of

guards that would be hard to beat. Largely through their efforts the opposing teams were held

to such low scores.

We are looking forward to a great success in Basket Ball next year. Although we are

losing two of our team this year, through the perserverance of our coach, we have two players

ready to step into their places.

Basket Ball


THERE is a certain happiness of heart that makes itself felt as we set about the

task of reviewing the history of the past season in Basket Ball. although Fate

held us from the first place in the County we take joy out of the fact that we

are just claimants of the second position. Only one team, in the County, has been

able to take this season, that one being Bellepoint, the County Champions.


The season began at home when Galena was administered a thrashing to the tune

of 51 to 20. The next game we tasted the first bitter pill as Bellepoint turned us off

with the short end of a 36 to 19 score. The remainder of the season was just one long

string of decisive victories until we again met Bellepoint in the semi-finals of the

County Tournament and were deprived of the right to play in the Central Ohio

Basket Ball classic.

GIRLS' GAMES


Winning all of the scheduled conference games, the girls from Brown High

School finished the race for honors in the cage games of the season with a total of

161 points against the 90 of their various opponents. Captain Belva Plunkett led her

team to victories in games outside of the county schedule and her absence in the tourna-

ment was a loss to the squad that was irreparable.

The season opened with unusual interest with two victorious games that enabled

them to run up a score on their first conference opponent, Powell, in an overtime game

and later to win over Orange. Their next game brought an undesirable score, but

the team pulled itself together and returned to the floor to be victors in the sixth

game of the season. Their skill in passing and accurate shooting enabled them easily

to vanquish, in quick succession, Ostrander, Centervillage, Ashley, and Radnor.

Hyatts Boys' Basket Ball


SOMEONE has said that basketball in the high school should accomplish four things.

First, it should give the participants some good wholesome exercise. Second, it

should develop good sportsmanship. Third, build up school spirit. Fourth,it should

furnish recreation. If we accept these four things as the aim of basketball then this

year has been one of the most successful we have ever had. Although only winning

nine games out of twenty-five played, we have had more fun and as much exercise as

any team ever had. Then too, this year has seen the team supported by high school

and community in every game played. Good sportsmanship and clean playing have been

emphasized above all other things.

No small degree of honor has come to the school this year thru the efforts of the

team and their coach, Mr. Postle. Our team was runners-up in the County Tourna-

ment, and by virtue of this were the guests of the Ohio Athletic Association in their

tournament at Delaware with all expenses paid for the week-end. In this district

tournament they were nosed out by only one point by the team that finally took

second.

Our captain, Floyd Bauder, was one of the most successful guards Hyatts has

ever had. Small to the nth degree, when "Toots" got to the ball the opponent's of-

fense stopped right there. Winters, tho only a freshman, ably assisted at guard, es-

pecially after an accident deprived the team of the able help of Ted Bauder. Devil

Evans at center, alternating sometimes with Bus Hughes, was one of the outstanding

players and big point getter of the team. His brother TeeHee, perhaps our best floor

player, contributed no small amount to the pass work of the team. Smallest of all,

yet of unerring eye and plenty of scrap, Ward Johnson completes the list of our

players. Rick Taylor as manager labored hard, doing the work and squeezing the

pennies. His efforts made the financial success of the year exceed that of any previous

year. So all in all this year can be said to be our most successful basketball year. Here's

to the team of '24!


______________


The Girls' Season


HYATTS Girls' Basketball Season, although not the success it was hoped to be,

cannot, in all true justice to the team, be referred to as a failure. The team

opened its season successfully at Ostrander, October 19th, disposing of their op-

ponents by the one-sided score of 14 to 3. Berlin won from us November 3rd, 17 to 1.

The following week-end we had an easy time on our floor with Ostrander, shutting

them out 15 to 0. Going to Berlin November 16th, we lost 17 to 7. Even against

Powell at Powell, November 29, the team looked good, even though defeated by

one point.

In the County Schedule, after losing the first two games, one to Radnor 12 to 5

and the other to Sunbury 12 to 8, the girls came back strong, winning three straights,

Orange 12 to 4, Galena 18 to 4 and Center Village 2 to 0 on a forfeit. The remain-

ing schedule game with Bellpoint was lost.

January 29th the team evened up with Powell for the defeat received from her

hands earlier in the season by defeating them 18 to 4. Westerville then took our

measure 11 to 7, on January 18th and again 13 to 11 on February 15th. At Ashley

the girls again lost but in a home game with Brown they showed some of their old

form defeating the team representing that school 11 to 10. In the County Tournament

Berlin eliminated us in the first round 11 to 5.

Ostrander Athletes


The Ostrander High School basket ball teams, in season just finished, as in

other seasons, has been greatly handicapped by no floor for practicing and playing

home games.

Losing E. Lamme, F. Mills and Maugans from last year's star team, left Captain

Montgomery, Winston and McKirgan to build a new team around. Taking advantage

of outdoor practice, a very consistent quintet was developed and made a good showing

all season. In the County Tournament held at Edwards Gymnasium, the O. H. S.

basket ball team was not eliminated until in the semi-finals. The record in the county

schedule was not as commendable as that of last year's team, but with the handicap

mentioned above, it takes a long time to develop a champion or star team. All the

games lost were primarily due to the fact that the players had not sufficient seasoning

to carry them through a whole game. Although Captain Montgomery and McKirgan

will be off the squad next year, a good team can be built around the veterans Winston,

C. Lamme and Harris from the following substitutes: McBride, Freshwater, B.

Mills, Hutchisson and Robinson, all of whom have had considerable experience on the

floor.


The girls' team had good material and were progressing very well as long as

outdoor practice continued, but as soon as that ceased, the team went back and as a

result, did not win many games. Even though they had no indoor floor to practice

on, they had the proper fighting spirit and enthusiasm a group of players should have.

Most of the players on the squad were found in Freshman class, so there should be a

bright outlook for the next season. Certainly a good team should be built next year

with Ivaloo Smart, Captain; Avis Bell, Mary Turney, Elizabeth Miller, and Armilda

Johnson as veterans.

With material O. H. S. has to draw from, two champion teams could be

developed from Boys' and Girls' squads, if they had a good place to practice on. The

prayer of O. H. S. pupils is that the Board of Education or some group of generous

hearted people in the community provide them with a basket ball court comparable to

that of the other schools of the county.

Athletics


If there is a person that thinks Orange High was the entire loser in the basketball

season that person is entitled to another guess. Admitting that in the way of

scorebook averages we usually received the small end of the deal, we do not admit,

however, that we came out of every contest beaten. The painstaking observer will

notice that the boys' team lost their grip upon life early in the season but soon after

staged a come-back that was interesting to witness altho they never quite won a

game.

More may be said of the girls' who were not so subject to spectacular come-backs

but who played consistently thru the season altho winning but one game and nearly

tying the score with the present County Champions in a schedule game. With but

three girls who had any previous basket-ball experience, and that two years ago since

there was not girls' team last year, a team that worked very nicely together was

evolved. Much more might be said of the individuals that made up the team but it is

sufficient to say that they worked willingly and consistently and deserve the credit for

reviving girls' basketball at Orange.

At the County Tournament the Orange boys met defeat at the hands of the

Ostrander five, while the girls won their first game from Powell which put them up

against Galena for first honors in the Girls' B class, which they lost.

Those of the boys' team were--H. Nease, O. Clymer, H. Phinney, capt., C.

Evans, H. Morgan, C. Aiken, R. Welch and V. Green, and those making up the

girls' team were--G. Brintlinger, D. Whetsel, A. Rannebarger, M. Boyd, capt. E.

Evans, E. Clymer and E. Snyder.

Here's to the basket-ball boys and girls of Orange and may their efforts in the

future be crowned with greater success!

Boys' Basket Ball


Our 1924 Basket Ball Season although not as successful as we had hoped, was not a failure

on the Boys' part. Hard luck hit us throughout the county schedule games. For more

than five weeks three and part of the time four of our regular team were sick.

We won six successive games at the beginning of the season. Then, under the handicap of all

the regulars being unable to play, we lost the next six games. We won the next three games thus

crediting P. H. S. with more than half the games played.

The following are the members of the squad:

Lester Garner was unquestionable the best forward this year. He has to his credit the

largest number of scores of any of the team. He was a fast floorman and a good shot which

accounts for his scoring ability. He was also our substitute for center where he was able to

play quite well.

Leonard Kirkpatrick, captain, could play the position of forward or guard very successfully.

He was not quite so fast on the floor as the other players, but he was of great importance to the

team because of his ability to hold the team together when there was some misunderstanding

among them. He was also a good basket getter and has a good many points to his credit.

David Perry, center, was a hard fighter for the team throughout the year. He was able to

cage the ball occasionally and was among the high scoremen of the team. It was hard for him

to guard but when necessity demanded he was able to do so to some disadvantage to the opposing

team.

Ralph Wright, guard and the fastest floor man, was always at his post and doing his

best. He was also the best all cager that any P. H. S. team ever had.

Paul Perry won a place on the team after a hard fight. He was a good guard, good pivoter,

and always a fast player.

Leonard Thomas was a good forward and a fine long shot man. Although he didn't obtain

a regular position he was always there to do his part when the time came.

Robert Perry and William McKitrick, the other two men of the team, were players

considering their experience and size.

All eight men of the squad received a letter for Basket Ball.

We owe our success this year to the constant attention and devotion of Mr. Wheeler. Win

or lose, he was the first to give us his hand and congratulate us. We're very grateful for the good

spirit he showed toward the boys of his team.

The squad loses four and the team three of its players, but with Wright, P. Perry, R.

Perry, McKitrick, and Johnson the prospect for next year is very favorable. We wish them success.

D. P. and L. K. of '24


Girls' Basket Ball


To the outsiders the Girls' Team of this season was a disappointment. But we participants

felt that our work was not in vain, even though we were the losers in the majority of

games. Our gain has been in the association among ourselves and with the girls of other

schools.

Our season started with a game with Berlin. This game was played at home and was not

very exciting due to the fact it was the first game. The score was 17-0 in Berlin's favor.

Our second game was with Hyatts, our old rivals. It seemed everybody was full of pep

on both sides. The final outcome was a joy to the team, the score being 9-10 in favor of Powell.

Our next game was with Radnor. It is always welcome tidings when the Powell girls hear

they are going to have a game with Radnor, for we always bear in mind the hospitality that

we have received there, this game resulted in another victory for us.

Our first scheduled game of the season was played on the evening of December 7th, at

Brown. This game proved very fast. Brown was the winner, the score being 9-10.

On December 14th, we played Galena on our home floor. This game was fast and furious,

and for some time our fans were held in great suspense for the score was 5-5 at the end of the

third quarter. Because of the signals made up by Galena during time at the third quarter,

Galena scored and we were forced to take defeat.

We visited Sunbury January 4th. Though the thermometer was hovering around zero, Sun-

bury's loyal fans came out to help encourage their team, the result was 4-10 in Sunbury's favor.

This season every team thought it an honor to play with Bellpoint on account of their

season's record. Even though we were defeated, we felt it quite an honor when our score showed

5-10 with these fast players.

We met Berlin again on the evening of Janaury 8th. They handed us another defeat, but

we were pleased we had scored with them.

On the evening of February 8th, we played Orange at Edward's Gym. Again we took

defeat. This ended the Basket Ball season of 1923 and 1924 and ended the Basket Ball career

in good old P. H. S. for Ila Chambers and Ruby Grant Pennell.

Sunbury Athletics

Although greatly handicapped by the loss of three of last year's men, the boys

Basket-Ball team, through perseverance and pluck, increased in speed, floor

work and basket shooting,--thus winning their latter games and ending the

season with several brilliant victories. Scoring points 493 to 380.

With practicially the same line up for next year, everything points to the fact that

our team will come into prominence.

The Girls' Basket-Ball team also lost three players from their 1923 Champion-

ship team, but notwithstanding this fact scored 175 points against their opponents 96,

won all their scheduled games, and played an active part in the County Champion-

ship Tournament.

All of the games were well patronized while the teams had loyal backing from

both school and community.

The games played and score of each were as follows:

TRACK


Sunbury has entered the County Track Meet every year, and has won several

medals, particularly in the hammer throw and the races. Last year the girls brought

home the cup, having won first place for the past three consecutive years. The prow-

ess of Miss Edna A'Neals, a graduate of '23, who was the first girl in Delaware

County to win the gold medal, figured largely in our victories.
