BOARDMAN'S ROSE BOWL Probably the biggest event in '42 for Seniors was Dedi- cation Day , but, unknown to many are the facts behind the stadium. The Boardman High School Stadium was erected during the summer of 1941. It was fully completed and ready for dedication, November 19th, the Saturday after Armistice Day. The Stadium is of concrete construction re-enforced with steel. Its seating capacity is 2,000 people, and at the front is a large space especially arranged to facilitate both the home and visitors' bands. Any seat in the grandstand will afford a clear view of any part of the athletic Held. Beneath the Stadium are accommo- dations for the storage of athletic equipment and concessions. The Stadium was financed by a special issue, submitted to and approved by the people to the extent of a one mill tax, The total cost of the Stadium was approximately S16,000. It is the plan of the Board of Education to complete the con- struction of the track, and also to seed the grass and shubbery on the hill below the fence. There has been also a purchase of 615 acres immediately west of the Stadium for future baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and playground facilities. When all the additions to the school are fully completed, Boardman High will have one of the most beautiful and well- equipped schools in Northeastern Ohio.

SkeggsJ and his assistant CJ. Kleynl, who is continually trying to make a date with the school secretary KB. J. Oestmannj. The play centers around Henry Aldrich CL. Eckmanb in his struggle to retain his good name, escape a theft, and win highest honors in a history test, that he might take Barbara Pearson QP. Bennettj to a dance. This is a rule set down by his mother QH. McCreadyJ, and it will keep George Bigelow CR. LattaJ from Barbara. When Henry is suspected of the theft, Ferguson KR. Wiltsieb and Miss Wheeler CL. Stromj, come to the rescue in an amazing Way. While Mr. Nelson proves the hero in saving Henry from Mr. Patterson's Wrath when he is caught cribbing. Bill QR. Baerj who insists he can save the school honor, and Mr. Vechhetto CJ. Morrisb an Italian looking for his daughter, add many funny spots. Several of the teachers were portrayed by S. Cramer, M. Bucheit and M. Williams. Several students' roles were taken by J. VVasilk, M. Beeghly, I. Beatty, H. J. Ford, R. Mohler, and R. Jones. The cast, that worked so hard for our enjoyment deserves a hand of well-earned praise, as does Mr. Bohn for his splendid direction.
