THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Tis true we cannot give the credit for the beauty and con¬ venience of this marvelous building to the present board, but we seniors owe a vote of thanks to it for another reason. It's just this — it is the group of benevolent and sensible men who have permitted us to enjoy these last few months amid the grandeur of this new building so long desired and so impatiently awaited.

Message
THE Class of 1927 has the distinguishing mark of being the first to complete its high school career in the new Senior High School building and to hold the first graduating exercises in the new auditorium. This will be an interesting fact to the future readers of the educational history of our city.
May this happy event be prophetic of the good fortune and merited preferment of each and every member of the class in the decisive issues of life. In our free America the testing challenges of the future can be successfully met by an educated, trained, disciplined personality.
H. H. HELTER, Superintendent Mansfield Public Schools

Message
THE greatest problem that we have to deal with to-day is the art of living together. By this is meant the acquiring of a true and sympathetic understanding which will enable men to treat one another fairly and justly. This is the spirit of tolerance or the “Golden Rule" in practice.

Our “Friend”
\X7HEN a faculty of forty-five members and a student body * y of thirteen hundred call the same person "friend", there
must be some unusual quality about that person. And in the case of Mrs. Miller there is an unusual quality. Her kindness and ready sympathy are only equalled by her willingness to be of service. She has been the confidante of young people for many years. She came to the high school from Hedges Street School and of course accompanied us to the new building. For the sake of future students we hope that she may choose to remain here many years.

EVELYN SONNER
If you arc one of those who catalogue this girt as "nice but uninteresting", then you have never been in her English class and heard her give an oral book report. She starts a laugh at the beginning and keeps it up until the end without cracking a smile herself. She wields a clever pen. but when you become her friend, you find that her remarks arc even more entertaining. Blue Tri 1-2-3 4. Piano Dep't I. Latin Club 3-4. Travel Club 3-4. Hypbo 3-4.

‘ Pete" is one of the most engaging conversationalists in our midst, and it seems that no subject is beyond her ability of discussion. She deserted us for a year but came back to graduate with us. It is a joy to be with her and this statement will be affirmed by her numerous friends.

Did you ever see ''Abie'1 when he wasn’t broke? Well, neither did anyone else be cause he is usually in that condition. He used io be quite bashful, and steered clear of the "wimmin ". but now he has gotten to be quite a man of the world and doesn't blush a bit when an unusually friendly smile floats his direction. If it is true that the good die young Abie ’ will outlive the most of us.

LEE MARKS
Lee was always paying so much attention to a certain girl in his Latin class that it was necessary to put him in the front scat.

JOHN HALL
Johs was always misunder¬ stood by his friends until the Band Minstrels, To say they were astounded would be putting it mildly, but once they recovered from their shocked surprise, they liked him in spite of this latent naughtiness, and his feminine friends increased. Seriously. John is a corking boy — shy. but not on the gridiron or gym floor.

’’Wid" is not the serious melancholy girl one might think from this picture. When she gels wound up she’s hard to beat for pep and fun and mischief. Her opinions sometimes conflict with yours, but if you need a sympathetic shoulder on which to weep, ’’Wid's” is sure to be the most com forting.

Bus has that knack of saying “Hi” in such a way as to restore calm and cheer and hopes. The sight of his handsome fair head with its impartial kindly grin has brightened many a blue Monday.

To write a short biography of Don's life in M. H. S. is indeed a pleasure. The students have never fully realized the sincerity, and loyalty with which Don has served his school.

Mary is what one might call a combination of moods. At times a quiet and con scientious student, and then again a laughing, happy companion. Mary is a very good history student, in fact, working history problems for Mr Coe may be her special hobby — Bui we have our doubts — Ah. yes!'’ Assembly 2. Manhigan Staff 3, Travel Club 4
ALLAN BRINLEY
“The deed I intend is great. But what as yet I know not.”
Al“ is always going some¬ where on important business. He was a very successful manager for the football squad, and we feel sure that sometime because of his ability he will become manager cither for Red Grange or Frank McMullen. Debate 3, Science Club 3, Usher Squad 3.
PAULINE LORENTZ
Pauline used to be found in front of the mirror in 206 at least four limes a day because she is very particular about the appearance of h?r hair with or without her hat She has a mind of her own (and temper too) but her heart for some reason or other is in safe keeping elsewhere We can thank Pauline for the daily an¬ nouncements because it is her job to get them ready.

FRANCES BRfNKERHOFF
“And let him be sure to leave other men their turns to speak,’1
Frances is one of the numer¬ ous members of ’27 who ccruinly loves to talk. She quite often has something to say that is really worth while which is more than we can say of some. If we just had a few more truly loyal students like Frances. M. II. S. would be the gainer. Gen. Music I. Glee Club 2- 3-4. Blue Tri 1-2-1 -4. Booster Club 2, Latin Club 3-4, French Club 3.

The Senior Banquet
The preparations for th.s gala affair were many and well known even to the under¬ classmen, Very evident were several hard working committees rush.ng out to the senior high school scrubbing floors and washing dishes until Mr. Fulks had to send them home. People could be seen climbing ladders and balancing many different shades of crepe paper of beautiful hues. The principal really believed after all this fuss we would not enjoy a perfectly wonderful evening there. But nevertheless we did.
That evening all the proud seniors and well deserving faculty assembled in the spacious halls. The guests were called to dinner at six-thirty o’clock and after four flights of stairs the cafeteria was a welcome sight to all. The tables were made very effective by dainty bouquets of gorgeous red roses, the class flower. The class colors also made a striking design with ribbons strewn in a tasteful manner. The orchestra added to the celebration with several selections.
Howard Brown, after some nervous attacks, acted as toastmaster, The final toast was given by Mr. Mehock. The least to ”27” was given wittily and wisely, and how could it help not be with such a grand topic? Thelma Reed then had the floor and left us all spell¬ bound with her faultless reading. Ruhland Isaly gave an excellent toast to the devoted faculty. This was well given as tco much praise couldn’t be given to our faculty. Another pleasant surprise that the entertainment committee had in store for us was presented in the form of a song by Rcba Morris. Mr. Fulks then inspired us with pride for our new school. Much
credit is due to him for helping us to be able to enter the beautiful structure. We were all
glad to hear from the principal as he is one of the best friends “27” has and will long be remembered by its members. Mary Ihrig next came forward with a delightful toast to the Board of Education and their wives. Mr. Harrison responded to this toast very pleasantly and we were glad to hear the views of the school board on the question of our moving into the new building. Helen Isaly then displayed more talent in the Isaly family and we found out they can do more than make ice-cream. Bob Garvcr then surprised us with a
talk which was most uplifting. A toast to the girls was given shortly afterwards by Frank
Balbaugh. Howard Hartman read his own poem, written by himself, ”Lo the Flapper”. This was very appropriate and served Us purpose. Next Mary Sowash delighted the audience with a xylophone solo. Following this, Mr. Murphy broke down and told us a big secret about his favorite number being ”7” Anyway he’s a good picker”. Catherine Conn felt a warm spot in her heart and gave a toast to the boys. Everyone felt stiff so we thought the next best thing was to sing the "Loyalty Song” so we could stand up.
Then came the thrill of the evening, the dancing in the gym. The decorations made the room more attractive with beautiful red and gold streamers hanging gracefully from the ceiling. The ball started rolling with the "Grand March ", everybody looked "simply swell”. The Orchestra pepped up and the dance was on. The Herrick Twins started the next program with a specialty dance. After a few dances Johnnie Hall and Johnnie Angle stood up in front and sang us all some songs. After a few more dances the two B’s entertained with readings. More excitement was the novelty Broom Dance This last dance completed this lovely affair.
Everyone while leaving complimenred the various committees on their splendid results. The Senior Class was most certainly pleased to be able to hold their one and only social function in the spacious rooms of the new high school and all heartily thank Mr. Fulks and all the others who helped to make our dreams come true. The party was a marvelous success and twelve o’clock came around only too soon,

CLASS SONG
(Melody - from "OFFICER OF THE DAY")
All Hail! Twenty Seven, our tribute we bring;
To thee, Twenty Seven, our loyal praise we sing.
Tonight, Twenty Seven, our thoughts rise to thee,
As now we are gathered here in sweet fraternity.
Thy precepts have taught us to strive for the right:
Unceasing thy efforts which made our years so bright. Desiring thy glory, in gratitude spurred on,
We've crowned thee with laurels of the honors we have won
Farewell! Twenty Seven, tonight though we part,
Thy spirit still binds us, each loyal heart to heart:
We pledge our allegiance, our true fealty;
And may we in future years still keep the tryst with thee!

Commercial Education
Commercial education is defined by a noted educator as one which prepares specifically for business careers. It is no longer limited to the narrow¬ ly technical or practical training which fits the student to preform the various operations that are necessary in the exchange of commodities, but it is generally taken to exclude the training that prepares for the work of production. With the practical training there is usually asiociated a certain amount of liberal, or cultural, e ement of education. This varies with the different schools, and if one should glance thru the courses of study of a number of high schools or the curricula of the universities, he would be surprised at the lack of uni¬ formity.
This type of education is only in its infancy and has developed only within recent years. It is not yet complete. A hundred years ago a business transaction was a simple matter, and no great amount of special training was necessary to carry them out successfully. The commercial field was considered too humble for great minds. With the increasing development of the industrial age came the vast scope and complexity of commerce until today it has become the field for the greatest intellects.
That there is a need for commercial education is evidenced by its rapid development. We find some form of it in our educational organization from the junior high school thru the university. The educator and the business man have come to realize their unity of interest. Its growth leaves no doubt of its usefulness.
A century ago there was nothing in the way of instruction for one who wished to enter the business field. If he wished to enter business, he left school and served as an apprentice in a store or office. This system necessarily had its deficiencies and drawbacks. As the demand for training grew, private enterprise endeavored to satisfy the need thru private classes. The first private commercial schools were not established until about 1830, and the high schools did not respond to the need until about 1890. The first private schools taught penmanship and bookkeeping as the core subjects around which the rest of the curriculum was built. Arithmetic, commercial law, stenography, and type¬ writing were among the other subjects. The training was striztly vocational and lacked any liberalizing elements. The object was to turn out in the shortest time people who were trained to do office work. In this th?y were successful. They were handicapped by a very poorly prepared teaching staff and the necessity to make the venture a paying proposition. Too often these ventures degenerated into money making schemes with all of the attendant evils. In spite of the evils, however, they furnished a training vc-y useful and necersary which could not be obtained elsewhere.
The public high school did not take up commercial education until late in the last century and then only in a haphazard fashion. It tried to compete with the private business schools. These, however, met the competition success¬ fully, and the high school has not played a very important part in furnishing business with competent workers when we consider the investment made for the purpose. The educational world is just beginning to realize the importance of this phase of education and is trying to adjust itself to the demands made upon it.
If we are to have a successful commercial department, we must have a
Page Eighty-Five
closely knit organization working harmoniously not only to turn out people well trained in office routine, but also to turn out people trained to use their leisure intelligently and get the most satisfaction out of life. The high school graduate has one advantage over the one from the business school in this respect. He may not always be so well trained in purely mechanical lines, but his capacity and ability to use his knowledge are far superior.
One is very apt to weigh the advantage to be gained by spending four years in high school to get something which he seems to be able to obtain in much less time in a business school. If his four year high school commercial course does not give him a thoro training in the principles rather than the mechanics of his vocation, if it does not develop the positive side of his character, if it does not teach him to use his leisure profitably and intelligently, if it does not give him in a necessarily limited way cultural as well as vocational training, if it does not teach him to think for himself rather than follow blindly what is outlined by others, if it does not bring out qualities of leader¬ ship he may possess, if he is not stimulated by the contact with teachers and other students; then the four year course is doing very little for him. An education of any kind is not, as we may too often suppose, for the sole purpose of giving us in the least possible time the training necessary to earn as much money as we can get with the least effort. Certainly our commercial courses are not designed with that end in view. We want to get the most satisfaction out of life. Part of that satisfaction comes from being able to do well some kind of work that will enable us to earn enough to purchase the comforts of life, but to be able to use that money wisely and intelligently, to be able to obtain the greatest satisfaction from the world about us is a very important part as well.
Our four year high school course cannot make specialists in anything. However, two years of bookkeeping, two of stenography and typewriting, together with the related subjects and others like history, English, and science should give the student a well-balanced training. He can hold successfully the average office job. But, as in other lines, if he aspires to executive and adminis¬ trative positions, he is forced to get his training in the university. A few years ago it was possible to advance from the ranks of the business world to the leading positions, but this is becoming more difficult as industry becomes more complex, and now leaders are sought among the college trained men.
It seems that the commercial subjects should not be regarded as solely for the student who expects to do office work. Bookkeeping, typewriting, commercial law, and business English are of very great help to anyone re¬ gardless of what profession he wishes to follow. When one observes even causually the way in which many educated people perform the ordinary trans¬ actions, he cannot help but estimate the value to that person of even a short high school business course. One must write business letters, he must do his banking, he must buy things, he must invest money regardless of his vocation, and it is surprising how little most people know about doing these things right. So even if one never uses his high school commercial training to earn a living, he will have occasion to use it constantly in any other vocation he follows.
Let us forget, then, that the business world is too prosiac for us to spend our lives in its professions, or that it is too humble a sphere in which to exercise our faculties. A commercial education is very useful if it is not too narrowly vocational.

THE SOCIAL SERVICE SCIENCE CLUB
OFFICERS
MARY IHRIG. PRESIDENT MARY PARKIN. VICE PRESIDENT SHEILA McCREADY SECY-TREAS.
MR. v. D. COE. Faculty Advisor
This is an honorary club composed of students excelling in social science subjects. It is one of the newest societies of the high school, but has ac¬ complished much during its existence. At Christmas time this club had entire charge of the donations for the Humane Society from the high school, and to create enthusiasm among the students the members of the society gave short talks in all the report rooms of the building and also decorated the lower floor with a huge ornamented and lighted Chrictmas tree and other yuletide decorations.
The aim of the club is to create, by a study of the lives of great men and women, a love for service and the spirit of helpfulness among the students. The lives of the famous women whose accomp'isbments were discussed this year were those of Clara Barton. Frances Willard. Madame Curie. Jane Addams. and Mary Lyon. Also a study was made of the lives of John Burroughs, John Muir, Rupert Brooks and Wilfred Grenfel.

THE HYPHO
Do you remember what a sensation the first Hypho of the year created? The green ink and clever cartoons were all in honor of the Freshie throng. But the first issue only served as a “starter1'. Since then there have been Football, Basketball, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hi-Y, Blue Tri, and College editions. Each, in itself, contained a variety of features which delighted the student body and upset sundry traditions.
It is difficult to find another High School paper containing as many specialties as docs our Hyphonerian, For instance, there is that unique column called the Inquisitive Reporter" in which various students are asked their opinion on such weighty subjects as ‘ What is your favorite sport and why?" Then, too, there is the 'Tiger Tactics” column, giving all the inside dope on M. H. S. sports. It has always been rather a mystery just who Algeron and Telford are, but their As We See It” column is the favorite of the sport fans. Other new additions to the feature section of the paper are the "Hi-Lites” and "Silver Screen” columns: the former presenting an intimate view of life in M. H. S., and the latter telling about the coming attractions at the local theatres. Last but not least, are the peppy features by Catherine Conn.
Those who have contributed to the success of the paper are:

THE LATIN CLUB
OFFICERS
LAUREN KOOGLE, CONSUL HELEN SMITH. VICE CONSUL EVELYN SOONER SCR1PT0R PAUL KOHLER. Quaestor
The present Latin club is not a new and untried organization in M. H. S., for a similar society was active in high school affairs during the last years that Miss Bowers was with us as a Latin teacher. In this time several Saturnalia programs were given and the photo play of Julius Ccesar was presented for the benefit of Latin and history students.
In 1925 the Latin club was reorganized with Mrs. Chase as faculty advisor. The purpose of this organization is to stimulate in the minds of the third and fourth year Latin students of M. H. S. a deeper interest in the Latin language, its present day usage, and the life of the ancient Roman peoples. It also aims to give the pupils an opportunity to venture into fields connected with the study of Latin for which there is no time in class. A student must have had at least two years of Latin before he is eligible to membership in the society, which meets once every two weeks.
This year the members have been especially interested in Roman family life and have heard several talks on Italy from faculty members who have visited there. A Latin play was also given.
A committee of aediles has charge of all programs.

The purpose of the French Club is to create an interest in the study of the French language and literature.
The club is composed of students who have completed at least one semester of French. The meetings which are held every other week on Wednesday, are usually conducted in French Plays, contests, the lives of noted Frenchmen, and their customs are a few of the things which tend to make the French Club an interesting as well as a beneficial organization.

This year a dramatic organization was started under the name of the Red Masque club with Miss Waring as faculty advisor. The club is made up of fifty members from the junior and senior classes. Tbo club assisted in putting on a Christmas program by presenting a dramatization of Dickens’ Christmas Carol. The auditorium of the new high school was formally opened by the Red Masque with the presentation of the play, The Seven Keys to Baldpate. With the fine equipment of our new stage and the splendid talent of the club the future should be very bright.
Page Ninety -Four
Seven Keys to Baldpate
THE Red Masque was the fortunate organization to open the new auditorium when on February 24 and 25 the play, Seven Kei/s to Baldpate by George Cohen was presented. This is a mystery play of bandits, hidden money, shots in the night, safe robbery, hermits, murder, and love at first sight. In other words it is melodrama of the first water. The interested and amused audience was a proof positive that we still enjoy thrillers if well done.
The members of the Red Masque constituted the cast, the business organization, and the stage crew. The success of the production was due to the joyous and whole-hearted cooperation of these fifty talented juniors and seniors.
The leading part was played by Richard Maguire of the class of 19 28. He presented the hero, William H. Magee, as a very attractive and clever young writer of melodrama who. to win a bet, agrees to occupy Baldpate Inn, the lenesomest spot on earth for twenty -four hours. During these lonesome hours he is to write a novel and he do:s. Richard made this part especially interesting by his unusual poise and delightful manner and personality. The owner, who does not appear until the end of the play when he explained all the queer happenings to the hero, was played by Charles Cook. 28. Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Quimby. James Hughes '27 and Edythe Cairns ‘27 1 are the caretakers of the Inn. James and Edythe. who is the prc;ide.n of Red Masque, were amusing in the parts of these old innocent caretakers who climb the mountain in the bitter cold winter night to make the inn comfortable for Mr. B^n ley s friend.
After the Quimby’s leave the real play begins. To this supposedly lonesome spot come a number of amusing and clever persons. The first visitor is Bland, Edward Smith 27. who hides $200,000 in rhe hotel safe. Edward made a good crook and of all the crooks he was the one who had some instincts of a gentleman He is locked up by Magee but makes his escape by jumping out the window. And then cnleres the heroine, Mary Norton, the news¬ paper reporter attractively presented by Mary Rudd 28. Of course our hero falls in love at first sight. The reporter is accompanied by a friend and chaperon, the gay widow, Mrs Rhodes. Ruth Grabler 'll as Mrs Rhodes was all that could be desired and even at the cost

THE FOOTLIGHT CLUB
OFFICERS
FRED STECKER. PRESIDENT MARION NOSS. Vice President JACK BERNO, SECRETARY -TREASURER
The latest club to organize in M. H. S. for furthering dramatic appreciation is the Footligbt Club, composed of under-classmen. This organization is under the direction and supervision of Miss Mary Bloor, faculty advisor.
This group being limited to thirty-five members has at the present almost filled its quota. There are thirty members, fifteen girls and the same number of boys.
The aim of the club is to promote dramatic influence among the younger students of the school body; also its purpose is to prepare the members for a better appreciation of higher dramatics. Meetings are held every other Friday.
The presentation for this year was "Penrod” by Booth Tarkington. This was given in the Auditorium of the senior high school, April nineteenth. It was agreed that the production was a success considering that this was the first appearance of the cast. Credit for this is given not only to those who were in the play and those who kindly gave their time working on committees, but also to many Mansfield merchants who very gladly donated necessary equipment.

THE TRAVEL CLUB
OFFICERS
CATHERINE CONN. PRESIDENT ALICE FR1SBEE. VICE PRESIDENT LOUISE THORNE. SECRETARY-TREASURER
About a year ago, in order to increase the students’ knowledge of the world and traveling, Miss Mariel Aberle superintended the organization of a Travel Club in Mansfield High School.
Since that time, the club has proven to be very successful and popular. It has been the aim of Miss Aberle to make the meetings instructive as well as entertaining. The effect has been to greatly stimulate the student's love of travel and to prepare him for journeying in this world of opportunity. The Travel Club offers a fuller appreciation of life and its infinite possibilities.
It has been the custom for the club to choose annually its itinerary of travel for that year. The Mediterranean cruise chosen by this year's club has proven one of the most delightful. The travelers visited in imagination Madeira, Gibraltar, Algiers, sunny Italy and the Holy Land. Several Mansfield people who have been fortunate enough to visit the places before mentioned spoke to the boys and girls of their travels there. The charms of our own land are not neglected and during the course of a year some time is devoted to ’’seeing America first.”
Adventure calls enticingly to youth, travel holds out the golden key. It opens a new world of fairy-like beauty to the youthful mind and inspires him to higher and nobler things.

THE ASTRONOMY CLUB
The present High School Astronomy Club was organized in 1925. The purpose of the club was to study astronomy in its simpler forms. Since then the club has grown and work started on a telescope.
The club felt that a telescope would be a great help in studying the stars as well as a lasting benefit to the school. For these reasons a six inch telescope of the reflecting type has been started. An instrument of this type would bring out the mountains on the moon and the rings of Saturn in a very striking manner.
At the present time the club is made up of the following members: — Mr. Ketner, advisor; Stanleigh Vinson, president: Frederick Walter secretary; Ford Linzee, treasurer; Paul Peterson, Paul Neidhart, Leslie Wagner, Charles Bahl, Donald Matthes. Arlo Sprunger, William White, and Paul Stephens.

THE DEBATE CLUB
OFFICERS
JOSEPH JOHNSTON, PRESIDENT FRANK BALBAUGH. VICE PRESIDENT WILLIAM TAYLOR. SECRETARY-TREASURER
This year marked the beginning of a new period of debating at M. H. S.— we have a new floor and a new coach. Mansfield High School has always been proud of the fact that she never lost a debate on the floor of the old building; and now we must do this same thing in the new building. Then too, this is the first year with Mr. L. A. Cook as debate coach, and in his initial year he has made debating more extensive than ever before. His work has been most admirable.
The question, ' Resolved: That the present system of Direct Primary elections in Ohio be abolished”, was discussed at these debates:
Mansfield Affirmative at Wooster - - March 9
Mansfield Negative vs. Ashland at home March 16
Mansfield Negative at Galion - March 28
Mansfield Affirmative vs. Galion at horne^ -March 29
Mansfield Affirmative vs. Sidn?y at home - April 9
Pug* Ninety Vine
Mansfield participated in two league debates this year: one at Wooster, and one at home with Ashland.
The Affirmative team traveled ro Wooster on March 9 and was victorious. Although our team was inexperienced, the debate showed that a careful study of the question had been made.
But by March 16 the scene had changed. Ashland's Affirmative came to debate on our own floor against our Negative team, and it was then that our first defeat occurred. .Lack of experience was again in evidence on the part of Mansfield. In contrast, all the Ashland speakers had had at least two years experience, they possessed extraordinary ease on the stage, together with a cer ain peculiar manner of putting their arguments over, which completely carried off the audience and so baffled the Negative that a Mansfield victory was utterly im- possible. The odds were too great, and Ashland won the championship with Man field second.

THE SECOND DEBATE TEAM
The subject "Resolved: That the Present Method of Direct Primary Elections in Ohio b? abolished' was also the topic of debate for Mansfield’s second team.
On the afternoon of March 30th, the Mansfield Negative team met Crcstlinc’s Affirma¬ tive at Mansfield, and the following day, March 31st, the Mansfield Affirmative team travelled to Crestline. 1 he results of these debates were not obla.ncd in t*mc for publication
These lean s worked under the capable d rccticn of Ur th Fun ton. former president of the M. H S. debate club, and a member of last year's debating team.
Although this is a mere b. ginning of second squad work, the work of these teams shows that in the next few years. M. H. S. will have some debaters of whom she may well be proud.

IT is quite unnecessary to explain the purpose of this or¬ ganization, as its accomplishments are plainly visible. To publish this annual has meant the unceasing labor and willing cooperation of the entire Staff. Other seniors not nominal members of the organization have also contributed to the book. All inserts of Spanish scenes and people have been drawn by Irene Moke. Floyd Adams has sketched all cartoons including the Calendar. He with the aid of Charles Cook has lettered the entire annual. Without the assistance of these people, the Manhigan could never present the many illustrated pages that it does.
Of course, student labor aione could never edit a book. The clear-cut engravings have been made at the Northern Engraving Company at Canton, Ohio, while the printing has been done in Mansfield at The Buckeye Press, Inc. To these firms the Manhigan offers its sincere appreciation for advice and service.

In previous years the Art club has laid much stress upon the appreciation of fine arts: this year the efforts of the club have been expended on actual application of acquired knowledge.
The study of color blending has been of much use to those painting scarfs, handkerchiefs, etc. Many posters were made for the various plays given by the dramatic clubs, and prizes were awarded for the best.

of breaking her heart over her lost lover finally denounces th: corrupted gang of crooked politicians.
In melodrama we must have a vamp and when the vamp is a lady bandit as was Dorothy Willsey 28 as Myra Thornhill, we enjoy her immensely. She was ready to triple-cross the whole outfit, but was stopped by “our friend" Mag:e. Mayor Cargan and h s man Friday Lou Max were presented by Lindley Smith ’28 and Lauren Koogle *27. Lindley was highly amusing as Cargan, who was to have married Mrs. Rhodes the next Sunday, and Lauren as Lou Max was decidedly hard-boiled. He is the rejected lover of Myra whom, in a fit of anger, he shoots and kills. This bunch of crooks is completed by the President of the Asquewan Renton Suburban Railway Company, Mr. Hayden, who was presented in a grand manner by Paul Kohler '27.
The plot waxes rhicker and thicker until the efficient chief of police. Ted Culler ’28 and his two able cops, Eugene McBride 'll and Bob DuPont '30, arrive on the £ccnc. Added excitement and interest are caused throughout the play by the hermit, Peters, admirably character¬ ized by William Mabec '27.
There is more to a play than acting. The audience must be solicited and cared for. The selling of tickets and advertising were in the hands of a busine:s committee hcad:d by John Bertka 28 who worked hard to make his part of the production a success. John Angle ’27 and his ho.t of assistants look care of the audience. A job in play production which often goes a-begging is that of prompter. To sit through rehearsals watching lines and to continue to do so through the presentations is a tedious job at best, but Mariana Remy '27 ^nade, herself p/cry dependable in that position and gave much confidence to the actors during the play. Mariana also proved herself a first class stage hand. The securing of the properties was the responsibility of a commitrec headed by Eugene McBride 27 and Cecilia Parsons '27. Louise Thorne 27 was the final authority on all questions of coustumc. The stage manager who worked under very crying and difficult circumstances was Ralph Wappncr '27. Every thing about the stage was new and untried; everything was more or less an experiment, but Ralph didn't ^cem to mind. He was bossed and driven by the director and assis:cd by a crew composed of Ed Smith, John Bcrtka. Catherine Conn, Irene Moke, Mariana Remy. Henry Schweir B. F. Fulks and mafny others who were drafted into service as the opportunity presented itself.
No small part of the success of the play is due to Mr. Holcombe who wielded the grease, paint, rouge and powder puff over the actors and the musical baton over a fine Harchestra of high school boys and g'rls.
The Red Masque stands for interesting and good plays. We are willing to work hard to put on plays that the students of M. H. S. will enjoy. With a beautiful auditorium, good stage equipment, hearty cooperation among the members, there must be a bigger and better future for dramatics in our high school.

This is the complete MODEL APARTMENT that has been built in the south wing of the building.
Can you imagine that? No, not just a cupboard arrangement such as you probably played with when you were a youngster, but an honest-to- goodness four-room and bath apartment that any family would be glad to habitate.
The dining room contains a mahogany table and chairs, and a clever shelf arrangement built in two corners of the room. In the living room is arranged a brown ram cloth suite, an occasional chair, spinet desk and Wilton ruga. The most important feature of this room is the cozy fireplace. Hard¬ wood floors are also used throughout the apartment.
Of course the rooms aren’t arranged as they will be later,” Miss Harper explained, ‘ for that will be one of the problems of the girls. They will make the drapes, do all the arranging, and be responsible for the proper care of the rooms and the furniture.”
Dark wood was chosen for the bedroom which adjoins the tile bathroom. A clinic room where home nursing will be taught is also included in the wing.
The large kitchen, which contains modern, up-to-date ranges, two of which are electric, is adjoined to the apartment by a short hallway; and the unit nearest the dining room is used as the kitchen of the apartment.
A unit kitchen plan has been arranged for class work by which every four girls have their own stove, cupboard, work board, and sink.
"In the old style home economic kitchens where classes were taught the art of cooking, the hot plates, and sinks were arranged in two long rows across the rooms,” Miss Essex said. "Then when the girls went into their own homes, after becoming accustomed to the other arrangement, they found the work rather awkward. Now with the plan such as we have in the new
high school, the arrangement resembles a home kitchen and the teaching that
the girls receive in the course, is more beneficial.”
A laundry adjoins the kitchen and contains ironing boards, an electric washer, and stationary tubs. A sewing laboratory is also included in the rooms of this department.
"But having the model apartment is a good thing. The girls will learn how to serve dinners and luncheons correctly, how to be proper hostesses and also the major rules of etiquette,” Miss Harper said.
The model apartment is perhaps the most unique arrangement of the
new senior high school and is to be found in only the most up-to-date and
larger institutions. That the Mansfield home economics course is a step in advance of those offered in other cities the size of Mansfield and even larger, goes without saying.
And that the course will be continually filled — with a long waiting list, is easily assured.

THE MANSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL BAND
Among the various organizations of M. H. S. none occupy a more prominent place in civic and school life than the band. This organization, now in its fifth year of existence
has constantly pushed its way forward until it has achieved for itself and M H. S. a reputa¬
tion in both state and national musical circles. No organization in the high school demands of its members as much as does the band, for a place in its ranks can be won only by daily practice and constant attendance at the many rehearsals necessitated by their many engage¬ ments.
The band has almost become an institution at the football games, and certainly helps to ‘ Set the Earth reverberating with a mighty cheer." They also played at the Bucyrus and Ashland basketball games. The many needs of the band, as music, instruments, etc., demands a budget larger than that of any other M. H. S, organization. This was met by the prcformance of the "Red and White" minsirels. The proceeds of four successive performances were
devoted to the purchase of instruments.
Its participation in civic events is so well known that the towns people are nearly
as interested in the organization as are the students. In 26-27 it opened the Community Chest drive, played for the Santa Claus parade, as well as Armistice day. and also acted as
M. H. S in '26 the first place in Class A. In the contest of 1927, to be held at Cleveland. Ohio, M. H. S. will be represent¬ ed by a band worthy in every respect of our school.
It is apparent to all close observers of the band that their continued success is due chiefly to the efforts of Mr. Holcombe the organizor. director, and patron saint of the band. His success in this work is only the natural result of his abilities and talents which have given to M. H. S. a band — "the best in the state."

An organization of this sort speaks for itself, yet in this case there are a few interesting facts which are not always known. This group was organized in 1925 by Mr. Holcombe, and during the first months of its existence held long and arduous practices at odd times when Mr. Holcombe was not working with the Contest Band.
In the Spring the girls decided to outfit the band with uniforms; and with the admirable cooperation of the band mothers produced the gay High¬ land custome which ornamented the gridiron last fall.
Their first engagement was the Steel Mill picnic in the early summer. This was such a success that other demands followed. During the football season, the girls did their best in support of the team: and even contrasted as they were to the older organization and training of the Contest Band, they made a splendid showing, — a hard working, praise-deserving group of en¬ thusiastic musicians.

OUR DRUM MAJOR
We are very proud of our drum major. One glance at her picture will supply you with several reasons why we should be, and if you have seen her in charge of the band on parade you will know there are other reasons beside “looks. ”
Cecilia manipulates the baton like a professional. She enjoys the novel distinction of being the first girl in the United States to drum major a Class A High School Band.
When you know that she was awarded second place in the 1926 state competition of High School drum majors you begin to realize that we have a right to be proud of her. A friendly, “sunshiny" disposition. A smile and a cheery word for all with whom she comes in contact, she has made a place for herself in the history of M. H. S. instrumental activities that will live long after she has gone on to still greater triumphs and honors.

SYNOPSIS
INTRODUCTION
The cantata, “The Crusaders.” has its historical background in that great movement of the middle ages known as the crusades. The crusades were unorganized efforts of great masses of European Christians to rescue Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the pro¬ fanation cf the infidels.
Peter the Hermit, a French monk, who had felt the insult of the Saracens while in the Holy City, figures in history as the great instigator of the crusades. Through his preachings and exhortations great hordes were aroused to push to the capture of Jerusalem.
In this cantata, Rinaldo is the chief crusader. Armida is the temptress sent by the King of Damascus to lure Rinaldo from his holy purpose.
Part I — In The Desert
The crusaders, under the leadership of Rinaldo, are marching through the hot desert to the Holy City. Many fall by the wayside. The fountain seen in the distance is only a phantom. But they march on. Peter the Hermit and the crusaders offer their suppli¬ cations to God, saying. “Father, let thy grace defend us. Watch o'er us”
Part II — Armida
The Spirits of Darkness appear and sing, but stop at the approach of Armida. She commands the spirits to build a palace rich with gold and gems.
The desert changes into a luxuriant sunny garden with a smooth lake in which sirens are sporting. They sing to Rinaldo, who, coming from his tent, is spellbound. Armida adds her charms to the scene, inviting him to come to endless joy and rest He is about to drink from the goblet offered by Armida when the song of the crusaders is indistinctly heard through the air. Rinaldo, hearing it, comes back to a partial sense of duty. Armida again tries to stay him, but the song of the crusaders as they come nearer recalls him to his holy purpose. He cries “Off, phantom, off!" The spell is broken and he joins the crusaders.
Part III — Toward Jerusalem
The crusaders arc again on their way to Jerusalem. A joyful song cheers them to “seek the holy prize.” Rinaldo, realizing how he has been led from the path of duty, cries to God in sore repentance.
As Peter the Hermit sights Jerusalem, the weary marching song changes to a great outburst of gladness.
“The goal is there. Jerusalem! The goal is won, Jerusalem.

THE GLEE CLUBS
Both the boys' and girls’ glee clubs in M. H. S. have become outstanding this past year.
The girls’ club meets every Tuesday and Thursday at the E. C. A. period in the Auditorium while the boys meet every Monday and Friday at the E. C. A. period in the choral room.
So far this year the combined glee clubs have produced a very beautiful Christmas program in which the dramatic club bad a part and the musical comedy, "Rings in the Sawdust" which was a decided success. The final presentation of this musical organization was the cantata, "Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast," by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, which is a very beautiful number.
A great deal of credit for the success of the Glee Clubs is due to Merrill C. McEwen, the director of music in Mansfield schools.

“RINGS IN THE SAWDUST”
Presented by the Glee Clubs Feb. 1 , 2, 1927
Directed by Merrill McEwen
The play takes place in a small town somewhere on a circus day, before the afternoon and evening performances.
Alonzo Squeezem (John Hall) banker, holds a mortgage on the circus which Toby Dunn (Robert Van Tilburg) is unable to pay. Sally Squeezum (Amy Twitchell) refuses to break her engagement with Toby, thus her father threatens to foreclose the mortgage.
Page One Hundred Twenty- Six
Marybelle Jaybird (Catherine Conn) a fascinating widow, has set her cap for the banker much to her old maid sister’s (Eliza Slimmer — Leona Miles) disgust. Humorous lines and songs are well played by Dinky More, Irish, (Charles Bahl) and Inky Snow, (Donald Freehafer) . After a lot of trouble Willie Jaybird, (Widow Jaybird's spoiled son — Mary Parkin) comes to the rescue.
With the help of the Chorus of Hottentots, and Chorus of Irish Colleens the circus was a big success.
Songs were accompanied by Martha Zellner at the piano and part of the High School Orchestra.
