The problems by which we were confronted in the various academic lields, nota- bly social science, chemistry and English have kept us in constant fear of defeat. Batteries of tests and examinations were opened anew, and at times almost overwhelm- ed us, but at last we have won a decisive victory and have brought this war to a successful close. We hope that perhaps some day, you will benefit by something we have done or said, whether it was in a jesting man.ner or otherwise. Our four years' term of enlistment has virtually expired. And now, all too soon, as we pass in review tonight, our banner Boats at the top of our staff, the symbol of victory, and the curtain falls forever on the drama which has been enacted by the Class of 1939.

He was indeed an inspiring leader but left us to con- quer wider dominions. With the dawning of a new year, 1938, our soldiers are once more ready for battle. Searching for a new General, we found one in Miss Lantz, who is still our commander in the iield of education. Seizing her pen, a niightier weapon than the sword, she set to work to bind up our wounds and to repair our large company for more efiicient service. The high ideals whi-c.h she has implanted within us have been a constant inspiration throughout our high sc.hool life. We re-elected Lieutenant Ida Hodgman for our leader, with Jim Elljnger, Ruth Matthews, Esther Brown, and Louraine Roller as ,her helpers. We found more time to celebrate this year as more battles were won. Like all armies, we wanted some insignia, so we obtained class rings. Miss Jim- my , our Junior class play, was our next starring triumph. A more successful produc- tion could not have been possible. The year was climaxej by an elaborate Junior- Senior Banquet, fashioned in the manner of a ship ,stopping at the port of Ohio City- Liberty tor one splendid evening. Back and forth we surged on all the Iields of strife, and we were becoming war weary but we said nothing, because we knew that the greatest victories are won in silent ways. So we labored until at length we completed tthe third year of our term of enlistment, and our banner was Hying three-fourths of the way up the staff. TIME MARCHES ON! For the last time, the bugles ring out the sounds that call us to armsl Our soldiers prepared for the tinal stand with more assura.nce and determination than ever be-fore. Throughout the years we had been gathering Senior dignity, a part of which we promptly lost after we had been safely quartered within our barracks-O. C.-L. For our new leader we chose Lieu. James Ellinger. He had for his staff, Bud Wise, Esther Brown: Ruth Matthews and Ida Hottman. Wit.h su-ch elficient onicers, organi- zation was not difficult. Our advisor Ior the year ha.s been Miss Lantz. Under her counsel we have wo.n great victories. In our contacts with her, she .has watched for opportunities that would store up treasures for us and give us ,ability in making and doing. We pause here to pay tribute to Miss Lantz and her splendid corps of aids who have been so painstaking in our behalf. We are loath to leave our happy training ground. The skills we have acquired here will serve us throughout life. Like many of those who have preceded us, we' know t.hat we shall point with pride to the Ohio City-Liberty High School. It is fitting that we should give you a short summary of our many events through- out this, our final year of active service here. Our first major project, alter thorough organization, was one of a commercial na- ture. lt was the publishing of the O-Citian. We hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as we enjoyed publishing it. Later, we staged another hilarious comedy entitled Here Comes Charlie . I feel that I would be unworthy of my trust as Class Historian, if I closed my re- view of this very distinguished group without citing at least a. few of their praise- worthy achievements. I wish there were time to extol every member of the class in- dividually. In the battalion of our members have occupied major positions. In sports we -can boast of the most splendid achievement. Four of our troops, Wise, Bickle, High and Exline were members of the Boys' Varsity basketball team that won the Van Wert County Tournament. Wise and Bickle were both members of the Cou.nty All Stars Team of which Wise was the captain. He was also captain of the All Sectional team .alt Shawnee. During their four years of high school, seven girls of the Class of '39 were mem- bers of the girls' bas-ketball squad. All of them received a letter during one of the years they played. Lois Ickes was captain during her Senior year and her willing followers were: Marjorie Blush, lda Hoffman, Edna Doan, Loiuraine Roller. Mary Ellen Putman and Alys Rice played the three preceding years. . In baseball we were again represented. Warren Babe Exline is one of the finest pitchers ever to pitch for Ohio City-Liberty. He was aided by five fellow class-mates, namely: Bud Wise, Jim Ellinger, Bob Bickle, Alan Bolenbaugh and Bill Harrison. David Drake is .hard to match as ,a. manager. In music our numerous band, orchestra and choral, engagements bespeak our abil- ity in that field. Twenty-four are members of the chorus and seven are in the band. Marjorie Blush has been given the ho.nor of Editor-In-Chief of the O-Citian. Because of their high scholastic aims Bud Wise and Louraine Roller have the ilfiff iimfl ' rm1fm1rm1rfmrfm irrmrmi mu ' P751 rm mxirnmi Wilrfmrmi .rfmrrm . .fm-my

THE GRUMBLER O.h ine, there's that bell again. I hope the .next time a burglar breaks in, he has enough sense to disconnect the bells that ring by that crazy old clock in the office. No cne ever does anything bes des take a few finger prints anyway. You'd t.hi.nk they don't even miss a few dollars and a couple ice cream bars. Some of these teachers won't even let you sleep ilt you have three study periods a day. They want you to read up on the world affairs or study .next month's Lesson rather than get rest for the next 'class so you can recite. If they don't get new chairs or put cushions and head rests on the ones we' have, in a few years the pupils will be getting curvature of the spi.ne and charge the doctrr bill to the scltoolg then the board will kick because it costs so much. Half the gliders are off the chairs in study hall. and when the chair squeal.s-well-- it's a good thing loolfs can't kifl. The chairs in recitation rcoms are too far apart. You can't evein scoot down and rest your weary bones after working hard all day. Some people seem to forget that tlhey were young once and also that times have changed since they were young. I don't know whether they are afraid we will scar the floor or if they fear we will exert ourselves on outside activities, but it remains to be seen that they don't want us to enjoy oiurselves in a little clean dancing. They would rather we go out to Mid Way mn and play the nickle music box and dance while otihers sit and gulp beer. Another thing., .they would rather the w.hole s-chool should die of a flu epidemic than let us out for two short days. If no one else came the teachers would teach one another. O yeah? They buy a new .score board, pay too much for it i.n the first place, then put it way back in the corner so the people in the bleachers can't see it, then tell everyone to sit on thei stage and help yell. On dark cloudy days the teachers pull the blinds clear down and on nice days they put them up so the sun shines in your eyes and you can't sleep. I never did like the system of changing se.a.t.s eivery week i.n English Class and marching out one at a t'me. If the others can't get out of the way in time, that's the'r hard luck. That's the reason some can never get to class on time. You forget where you sit and have to ask a fellow cl.assmate where you are this week. The craziest idea of all is the one cf getting an excuse to go to class after ab- sence. Any person with an oun-cel of brains knows that is wrong. We don't care if you admit us to class or not. A very smart thing to do would be to give us an excuse to stay out. Now you know a person as busy as a Senior can't read a book in two weeks with all his work and take t'mei to run down and have a book renewed. Why not just give him four weeks in which to read it? Why doesn't sumeone change the pictures in study hall? Those same pictures will be here w1hen our grand-children attend school. You can't enjoy looking at the same' pictures year in and year out. And why do the chemistry .students persist in making hydrogen sulphide and leaving the doors open so you can smell it all ovelr tlhe building. Oh, I suppose people will say that we should have nothing to grumble about, but school is school and I 'have no special love for it. BOB BICKLE.
