Un U55 Qjfzonf :Rang Scholastic superiority in the most difficult subjects in Sidney High School's curriculum has entitled Donald Craig to be selected as Valedictorian of the Senior Class of 1943. Participation on the first squads in both football and basketball as well as exhibiting exceptional ability in debate have shown Don's ability to diversify his interests for the ultimate acquisition of a superior education. Due to his athletic prowess and social versitality, Don has been a popular leader in all school activities and has acquired many admiring friends among the student body. The second highest average in the Senior Class of 1943 was earned by Robert Ackerman, who is entitled to the honor of being Salutator- ian. Bob 's achievements and success have not been limited to the scho- lastic field. During four years of athletic participation in every sport, Bob has not only gained All-State recognition in both football and bas- ketball but also has merited outstanding recognition for his track ability. Our honor students have evidenced unusual abilities and illum- inating personalities. Linked with their perseverenee and diligence, we are sure that these excellent qualities will carry them far up life 's ladder of success. ROBERT ACKERMAN DONALD CRAIG Page Fifteen

August 31, 19'-12, we started our last year at Sidney High School. This year was the beginning of a higher education for each of us. As upper-classmen we felt obligated to live up to the high standards set for us by the many seniors who had gone before. At the general election, the offi- cers chosen to lead us through our last year together were: Governor, Bob Ackerman, Lieutenant Gover- nor, leBaron Goodwin, Secretary of State, Emogene Nienhuser, Secre- tary of Treasury, Betty Lou Elsas- serg Attorney General, Ferris Preble. Scrap drives are necessary if real victory is to be won in VVorld Waii' 11. High School classes challenged , each other to see who would be the winner of our Scrap Drives. The mighty seniors lived up to all spectations and won with sixty-six tons, the tiny freshmen came in second with fifty-six tons. Because they were good losers, the de- feated juniors and sophomores sponsored the Victory Dance November 4, 1942, for the winners. They proved to be royal entertainers, and it was a big success. After intermission music for dancing was provided by the Faltering Five. The Trail Staff made their initial ap- pearance when they presented a skit in which the immortal Prebleman, portrayed by Ferris Preble, business man- ager of the Trail, saved the Trail from the notorious priorities gang which was trying to stop production. It was one of the most original and interest- ing skits ever offered in Sidney High School. . S , . .K gy November 16 was chosen as Senior Sneak fl X Day. Following the custom of other Sneak Days, not even , the class s onsors knew the date so it was a real sur rise it 4. p g 1 if to the other classes. .Q Throughout these four years we have been fortunate ' M in having Miss Bess Shires and Mr. Rex Heed assisted this 3 V O 1 0 0 , 1' year by Miss Elizabeth Williams, as our sponsors. Many thanks to them and to all our teachers for helping us de- em- 1, ff X , velop qualities that will aid us in building a better society. 3 I F .K The arrival of our announcements and cards brought ' i , 1 W 4 to sixty-five of us the startling realization that Commence- ment, May 5 would, for most of us, soon bring our days - of learning at Sidney High School to a formal close. Now, looking ahead into the somewhat dimmed but still bright and hopeful future, with grim deter- mination we pledge ourselves to the task of building the world anew, that free men and all that they are fighting for, may survive-for always.
