SOPHOMORE HISTORY In September, 1939, the class of ’43 of Columbus Grove High School entered into their high school life with spirit and enthusiasm. Jack Sommer was elected president; Jeanette Miller, vice-president; and Doris Allen, secretary and treasurer. The class showed real spirit in their hearty support of these school activities and athletics. One of the social events of our first year in High School, long to be remembered, was the Halloween party in the gym. To be sure we mastered our Freshmen subjects to the satisfaction of our teachers. By the end of our “eventful” year we were happy with the thought that our presence in the halls of our dear old C. G. High was not entirely obscure. In September, 1940, the class started out with renewed energy, determined to make everything count for the good of the class and the school. We elected Bob Tussing president; Betty Schroeder, vice-president; and Leonard Rogers secretary and treasurer. New members have been added to our ranks from time to time. The class is well represented on both the basketball and football squads. We are taking our places in the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs, mixed chorus, orchestra and band. Many of our names arc listed as members of the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y groups as well as the F. H. A., F. F. A., and 4H clubs. Our Sophormore class party this year turned out to be a real mixer and a big success, partly due to the help of our sponsors, Miss Kerr and Mr. Shaffer. A skating party at Fort Brown was one of the high lights of this, our second year. The future outlook for the class of '43 is bright. It is the hope of the group to leave behind them a record of their high school years to which they can refer with pride. Dorothy Pease —18—

History of Class of '44 The class of “44” started its journey in “Ye Old Grey School House” before the new one was built. And we are proud to day we were the first, first graders to occupy the new building. Our class was not very large at the beginning, hut our number has grown to great proportions since we left the sixth grade. The class has now approximately seventy-five members. We began to have the class organized in the fifth grade and had many class parties, etc., etc., since. We have the honor of being the largest freshman class in the history of our high school and we are making our presence felt in all high school activities for which we arc eligible. When we entered junior high school two years ago last September, this was a new experience for us. Instead of having all our work in one room, under one teacher, we moved about at the end of each period the same as upperclassmen. We then began attending chapel and having part in the programs. Our school program was enlarged; the girls work included home economics, the boys industrial arts while l oth groups were enrolled in physical education. Music became elective, but the majority of the class is including music in their course of study. Our class advisors have included: Miss Basinger in the seventh grade, Mr. Lowell in the eighth grade, and Mr. Lowell and Miss Hawk this year. Eileen Lugibill —20—
