Senior Class Officers RICHARD BURNS, President Dick is president, 'tis true, But still a good friend to me and you. WANDA SMITH, Vice President Coal black hair, eyes that flash, Gay, vivacious, even rash. EVELYN SCHWEICKART, Secretary She's a pretty brown-eyed lass, All tests for friendliness she'll pass. KEMP PRUGH, T1'edsm'e1' Kemp is student number one, And besides, he's full of fun. JAMES TILLE, Sergecmt-at-arms Handsome, talented, a star athlete, As nice a boy as we care to meet. Sketch of Senior Voyage IN SEPTEMBER, 1936, the good ship Dragon, taxed to capacity with new Freshmen, set sail for Port Knowledge. In looking over our old log, we find that our present First Class Passengers distin- guished themselves quickly in many fields while on their 1936-1939 cruise. For example, Kemp Prugh took an immediate interest in school affairs and was elected secretary-treasurer of' his class, while Russell Young achieved quite a record by being elected class president for two consecutive years. Nancy Britton, while on her first trip, had the distinct honor of speaking over the radio from Columbus as a result of her high score in the Eighth Grade Scholarship Test. David Walther and Russell Young practiced long and diligently and soon became invaluable members of the F. H. S. Dragon basketball team. George Monnier and Robert Thygerson, our two cheerleaders, have undoubtedly helped our team with their resounding cheers. When Christmas rolled around, there was always a language class who volunteered to be angels though just for a day. The Ohio State Psychology Test proved that the First Class Passengers are not entirely lacking in brain trusters for Kemp Prugh, Nancy Britton, Marie Michael, Ken- neth Becker, Russell Young, Robert Yaus, and Richard Burns all placed above the ninety percentile. Latent acting, which heretofore had been subdued, suddenly found expression in the ship's plays. The debating squad, with senior members Paul Speelman, Jeanne Ander- son, and Kemp Prugh, reached the state finals in their first year of organization and competition. Fairmont was represented in the Daughters of American Revolution Good Citizenship Contest by Marie Michael who placed fourth in the county. Those who never are to travel on the F. H. S. Dragon again cherish fond memories of their first embarkation and wish all future passengers un bon voyage.
