Oct 1918 Co. G. sounded the “taps” each evening from the railroad park.

For the second consecutive week, senior Emily Richards (Delaware/Hayes) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Women's Track Athlete of the Week after a historic 800-meter race at the Grand Valley State (Mich.) Big Meet on Saturday.

Richards earned the honor for the second time this season.

After posting the third fastest time in Div. III history in the 800-meter run two weekends ago, Richards followed her performance up with an even more impressive race at the GVSU Big Meet.
