CRAZY OMMENTS ONCERNING SLY AYINGS OF JESTING UNIORS Miller to Houser (in subdued voice) during singing hour: “Why, Rayola! Can’t you tell you’re out of tune ? I believe Charles you are singing in the wrong.” “Well, don’t I know it? Its to my opinion that the blamed song was written in the wrong key in the first place.” YES, INDEED! Shanabarger: “You know I’m studying for the aviation corps.” Interested Listener (perhaps Femini): “Isn’t that fine; and are you getting along nicely ?” Shanabarger: “Yep! I know every part of an aeroplane and where it comes from. Now the wings come from Albany, the wheels from Buffalo, the frame from Chicago, the tires from Akron, and I guess the propeller comes from Russia.” (Same Femini in inquisitive voice): “From Russia! But why from Russia?” Shanabarger (in important voice): “Two thousand revolutions per minute.” WE WONDER WHY Miss Hauschildts always fastens her collar with a pin marked U. S. A. Prof. Walker alternately feels his chin and looks at his watch. Paul Poling, is otherwise known as “Wandering Jew” on account of his numerous visits to Alger, McGuffey, Harrod, Kenton, Lima, Bluffton, Dunkirk, Dola, Podunk, and Nobunk, for chivalrous purposes. Let It Be Known: That Howard Gallant tiring of the feminine populace of Ada, has decided to move to Florida to raise chickens. Success to him. Page Twenty-nine

History of The Junior Class By Vera Barnes .y, HE illustrious class of ’19 composed of forty-five members entered the Ada High School on a beautiful day of September in 1915. W fh We had our first class meeting and elected the following officers: President, Mills Shanabarger; Vice-president, Frieda Beuchert; Secretary, Hildred Reedy, and Treasurer, Stanley Miller. We chose pink and green as our colors. The main excitement of that year was the Inter-Class Contest. We can now look back and see several boys and girls climbing over step-ladders trying to decorate the Freshman window. Their work was not in vain, for on the evening of the Inter-Class Contest it looked splendid and was highly praised by all. Our contestants did splendidly, but due to inexperience lost, although the class greatly appreciated their work. Another event which perhaps was the most beneficial to us happened on a warm day in May. We received our grade cards, which, to our great joy, told us we were no longer Freshmen but were Sophomores. In the beginning of our Sophomore year we again elected officers as follows: President, Herbert Freeman; Vice-president, Stanley Miller; Secretary, Hildred Reedy, and Treasurer, Kathryn Danner. We gained a few members for our class and also lost a few. An event in our Sophomore year, which we will always remember was that of having our colors, pink and green, afloat on the school building one morning when we arrived at school. The Inter-Class Contest came next. We won the reading but lost the debate by a small margin. After the contest came the banquet which we all enjoyed. Again we received our grade cards and Lo! Presto! Change! we were Juniors. We had scarcely started when Mr. Livingston, scared out perhaps at the prospects of such a class of science, deliberately left us. We did not grieve long, for soon we gained a most efficient instructor, Mr. Swearingen. He is one of the most beloved of the faculty for he has been known to put off a test three times but when it does come— Oh! My! After Mr. Livingston left us, we gained Mr. Sneeringer as principal. In the trials and tribulations of life we hope that Mr. Sneeringer’s dimples never fade. Our officers for this year are: President, Frieda Beuchert; Vice-president, Mil- dred Ames; Secretary, Edna Runser, and Treasurer, Ruth Shank. The contestants which we elected for Inter-Class Contest are Herbert Freeman for the oration, and Donovan Isham and Howard Gallant for the debate. So with the good will and respect of the teachers and our colors pink and green watching over us, there is no reason why we should not become Seniors and then graduate as the class of 1919.
