Hoover High School - Viking Yearbook (North Canton, OH)

Perhaps the last year was the happiest of the high school life. In this year the class realized that it was the close of their high school career. Many class parties were held which increased the class spirit. Another distinguishing feature of the activities of this year was the publication of an annual. In this as in everything else the class suc- ceeded, even though it is the first time in the history of N. C. H. S. that such a feat was attempted. We are proud of our achievements in dramatics, athletics, scholarship and all other school activities, and Wish the school the best ot success forthe future. lhryfi' 'llrnwllpx'-ffvzrl'

Svrninr Qllaaa ml5lH1'g HE members of the class of '25 have always taken a keen interest I in school activities. From the first day of their entrance into the halls of learning until commencement day, they have made things hum. Soon after the opening of the school year the upper classmen e11- tertained in honbr of the Freshies, after which they felt more at ease in their new environment. Several other social functions were given that ye ar in which the class took an active interest. During this year Mary's Millions was presented by the high school and some of the parts were taken by members of the Freshmen Class. The next fall they assumed their duties as Sophs, some old faces were missing and several new ones were seen. Much to their delight Miss Lillian Finney was appointed the class patroness and has ably supervised their affairs throughout the remainder of their high school life. Among the social affairs of the year were the Greenwich Village, the Christmas and St. Patrick's Day parties. Athletics were again introduced into the school life this year, to which the class contributed several members. After the dedication of the Community Building, an inter-class basketball tournament was held tor both boys and girls. In this all honors were carried off by the Sophs. The Junior year, especially the last semester was one of hard work. Two of our most successful accomplishments were put over dur- ing this year. The performance of the class play Am I Intrudingl' evoked much favorable comment. The proceeds of this play were used to finance the annual Junior-Senior banquet at the Hissner House. This was one of the most highly anticipated social functions of the season. 'lne various committees worked faithfully in preparation for the event. All appointments were in red and white, the class of '24's colors. Foll- owing the banquet an interesting program was given. All in all it was a decided success. This was the most noteworthy year of athletics in their high school career, the football team losing only two games during the sea- son and the basketball team winning the county league and tournament championship, and along with this two silver loving cups. Much of their success was due to the fine coaching of Mr. Adams. Page Tzt'vuly-flzrcv

..1x-fggwcfm-,,,, ,,.-ff7ls.1f'f:: 1A'LJjI9' . - Gilman lgrnphvrg Nocahian, Ohio. May 2, 1940. Dear Miss Finney: I have just heard in the news over the radio that you have re- turned to the States after your areoplane trip to Europe and in return for your most interesting letter telling of your travels I thought 1'd write and tell you the news of our colony here. Nocahian, you know was founded by the class of twenty-five . First I want to tell you of the reception that was given last week for our new mayor, the one and only, Raymond Nelius. He certainly ought to know how to govern us after those two years of presidency in High School. Don't you think so? Of course the party was a gala affair, and oh dear, the gowns! Nearly all of them were from La Petite Modiste Shoppe the propri- etors of which are none other than the Misses Shook and Manchester Kas they used to bel. They are both married now, but still manage their shop. Julia married that school friend of hers and Catherine married a man whom she met at college. It certainly seemed good to see the old school-mates together again, even though we do live in the same colony. It seemed especially good to see Mr. Clouser Cnom de plume Richard De Barriej for he has just returned from his European engagement as concert pianist. You know he has done a great deal to develop the new type of American music. Also one of our other travelers was there-Mlle. Reed-who has finished a season with The Little Theatre Company as a French actress. She entertained us with a monologue of one of the acts that she uses. Yesterday on my way down town to get a marcell at Dot's Shop QDot, you will remember, was Dorothy Bausher. Now she has a chain of wonderful Beauty Shops and they all certainly do fine workl I stopped at Rened Art Shoppe to see my old friend Maurine, who is the proprietor. fShe surely has a clever shopj Maurine has been married twice and at present her last husband-Mr. VVarstler-is sueing her for divorce on grounds of neglect and desertion. She told me all about the case-Attorney Kolp is his lawyer and Judge Dieble will pre- side-the two men have become very famous in both local and state Page Ttcwlly-ji':'r
