And as did those classes before us, we in turn add another stone in the structure of Washington High School. Their spirit has kindled a flame that will never dim, the heri- tage of this school soon will be ours, its tradi- tions-our prideg its future-our obligation. So in passing we of 1940, mindful of what those earlier classes have done for us, give a pledge of honor to the future of this school that those who follow us on through the years shall know in their turn the happiness that has been ours.

I did not live in the gay nineties, but those were rather interesting years. Everything was cut and dried. You were either good or bad. Alger and Henty books were read by boys, while the girls wept copious tears over the unfair treatment of Elsie Dinsmore. Young boys and girls were taught to be seen and not heard, and fainting was a popular pastime with the ladies. Girls were taught not to walk in the sun- shine. In other words, the course for everyone was chartered. And now, in the fascinating forties, fascinating because each one is allowed to live as an individual, our heroes not only make mistakes, but even the villain is not always inoble. Our novels even touch on social problems! Girls don't faint much any more and they are heard as well as seen. Boys and girls enjoy each other's company and they talk over things that their grandparents never dreamed of talking about. But fundamentally, they are sound, far sounder than we of the gay nineties, because they have been taught how to think, rather than what to think. L. W. REESE, Superintendent. Page Eight FOR THE FUTURE .... The 1939-1940 school year is now a happy memory, and we have passed through many busy days. We are facing a new school for next year with the greatest enrollment we have ever had. Our new class- rooms, a new auditorium, a fine gymnasium and an auto mechanics building now give us all we could hope for in school facilities. Wash- ington High School will henceforth be known as a six-year high school. Pupils in grades seven to twelve will be under one type of school pro- gram. l We shall need the co-operation of all for each individual to achieve the highest degree of scholarship and to take an active part in whole- some school activities. It is the desire of the faculty that every pupil take part in some worth-while school activity in addition to regular school subjects. It should be kept in mind, however, that too many activities drain the energy and lower individual proficiency. We call to the attention of our student body that the parents and friends want school days -to mean something worth-while in life. A. B. MURRAY, Principal.

Our yesterdays follow us, as once more we, a new group of young men and women, go forth from the halls of Washington High School to seek a place in the world. Some of us are starting our life work while others are seeking further education in college. Before we leave, let us look back through our happy years in high school. In the autumn of 1936, one hundred and fifty freshmen, we timidly entered the por- tals of this school. However, we soon found our place and part in the school and were soon engaged in extra-curricular activities as: clubs, music, and athletics. Under the excellent leadership of our class adviser, Miss Davis, and our class officers, president, Langdon McCoyg vice-president, Harold Armbrustg and secretary-treasurer, Charles Til- brook, we made a name for ourselves. As a happy ending to our year as freshmen we had a delightful picnic at Cedarhurst. I We returned the second time as sophomores, but this time we felt more confident of ourselves. We must admit that we did tease the new group of freshmen as the upper- classmen had done to us. We were ably guided through our sophomore year by our class adviser, Miss Robertson, our class president, Lorie Merrittg vice-president, Langdon McCoy, and our secretary-treasurer, Charles Tilbrook. Under their efficient leadership we had a successful carnival. Using a navy motif, we had many ports of carnival attrac- tion, with a cafeteria in the basement and dancing in the upper corridor. The proceeds of the carnival were used to buy much-needed stage equipment for the school. Our sophomore picnic held at Cedarhurst was another pleasant memory of our sophomore year. After vacation we returned to our studies as juniors and upperclassmen. We soon found that the studies became more difficult and that we had to study more diligently than ever. At one of our class meetings we elected Gordon Gidding, president, Charles Tilbrook, vice-president, and Charles Coffey, secretary-treasurer. Our competent class adviser for our junior year was Miss Melson. We held a gay Valentine party with danc- ing and table tennis, and talented members of our class gave the junior play, an excel- lent presentation Apron String Revolt. Near- graduation time we proudly entertained the seniors at the Country Club as the crowning event of our junior year. For our senior year, we chose Harold Robinson, president, Langdon McCoy, vice- president, and James Purcell as secretary-treasurer, and, with Mrs. Fite as faculty ad- viser, our year was ably managed. Our seniors took active and successful part in all school activities, and members of the class of '40 helped present our school with another football championship of the South Central League. As winners of the magazine drive we were rewarded with the first party to be held in the new gymnasium. Our senior play was the first to be held in the new auditorium. The proceeds of the senior play and the previous junior play were used to buy a stop for the new school organ. We are the first to have our class night and commencement exercises in the new auditorium. We consider it an honor to help usher in these new improved building facilities for the fu- ture use of our school. During the four years many members of our class have been successful in placing high in state scholarship tests: Gordon Gidding, as a sophomore, placing first in World History. Our graduating class of one hundred twelve is the largest yet to be graduated from our school. Our todays and yesterdays are the blocks with which we build. We wish our fel- low students success and may our motto, We will find a way or make it, be our in- spiration in the years to come. -LAWRENCE BURRIS. Page Slxteen SENIORS ....

Of the many feats performed in high school none rank so high as that of scholastic fame. Those who have diligently sought and successfully attained this goal are, Gordon Gidding, Harold Robinson, Charles Rhoads, Lorie Merritt, Harris Willis, Charles Reveal, Edmond Woodmansee, Jack Mertz, Lawrence Burris, and Betty Williams. Of a lighter trend of mind are those nonchalant people who optimistically regard the future and regret not the past. These likeable people are, Sam Douds, Emmet Lloyd, Warren Campbell, Charles Mallow, Earl Mark, Joel Bailey, Glen Davis, Ernest Beuchler, Bob Haynes, Harold Reed, Clarence Reed, Laura Mae Yahn, and Helen Straley. Undoubtedly, mechanical and technical craftsmanship in industry will always be at a premium in the world. Our most skillful mechanics are Leslie Hosler, Robert Reno, Dale Roush, Richard Wilson, Robert Miller, and John A. McMurray. To some, dramatics contains the essence of work, play, art, and life itself. Our Thespians are Joan Allen, Laura Schadel, Jack White, George Cox, Homer Davis, and James Purcell. Our stars in athletics, Corky McCoy and Winifred McKinney, depended upon the co-operation and sportsmanship of Charles Stewardson, Charles Coffee, and Eugene Stanforth throughout their stay in high school. Since a merry heart doth good like a medicine, we find school life made more en- joyable by the presence of Margaret Ashley, Donna Jean Norris, Irene Ankrom, Betty Lucas, and Leah Custer. Outstanding as culinary artists are Donna Brandenburg, Evelyn Morrow, Louella Morris, Marjorie Bellar, Virginia Burnett, Betty Wallace, and Margaret Brandon. Emulating the tailorbird, Nellie Brunner excels all in sewing a fine seam. This quaint quatrain, , Out upon it: I have loved. Three whole days together. And am like to love three more, If it prove fair weather. cleverly characterizes Charles Tilbrook, Jack Hare, Bill Malone, Carl Hargrave, Robert Crooks, Donald Moore, John Coulter, Bob Mayor, Ruth Bennett, Alice Foster, Lorie West, Marjorie Dove, and Sarah Haines. After two years the efforts of Ruth Bush, Ruth Stethem, and Royal Fitzpatrick to acquire ability of reading and speaking French have been rewarded. James Worrell, James Wackman, Harold Hooks, Bob Gross, Lewis Elliott, and Her- bert Sanderson have been acclaimed historians extraordinary. For the spirit of co-operation citations are bestowed upon Carolyn Garringer, Georgia Brown, Robert Self, Mary Williams, Martha Jean Easter, Dorothy Plantz, and Bob Ben- nett, whose enthusiasm is unlimited for specific assignments. We aim to please is the smiling comeback of Betty Patch, Donald Ault, Charlotte Garman, Charles Bostwick, Waldo Hodson, Louise Stewart, Mildred Dunkle, David Moore, and Betty Wean. As bookkeepers, stenographers, and typists Wayne Taylor, Doris Smith, Paul Maugh- mer, Lela Porter, Willard Dice, Sarah Lyons, Anna Lee Thomas, Virginia Havens, Helen Willis, Pauline Vance, Helen Rose, and Mary Jane Hyer are outstanding. Of those who have entered to study and go forth to serve, none is better equipped than Betty Tooker and Doris Steed as commercial artists-theirs is an assured future. Apollo endowed LaVonne Jordan and Harold Armbrust with the gift of music, which is to be transmitted to underclassmen. Noted for their sportsmanship and super-salesmanship are Mary Jo Renick, Betty Toops, Jimmie Hutton, and Marjorie Caldwell. We are proud of theaccomplishments of our class and gladly will them to the un- derclassmen as goals to be attained. May they use them as stepping stones to higher attainments. We entered to learn and go forth to serve. Page Twenty-Flve CLASS PROPHECY .... It is June 3, 1953, and the class of '40 is holding its reunion at the home of Senator HAROLD ROBINSON, in Doudville, named after Mayor SAM DOUDS. Civil Engineer, JAMES PURCELL, and contractor, CHARLES REVEAL, created its unique beauty. By the conversation that ensued it was obvious that our motto We'll find a way, or make it, proved to be an incentive for the success of this class. LAURA SCHADEL, Dean of Women at Vassar, and Doctor CAROLINE GARRINGER were discussing the success of JACK WHITE'S musical comedy, Whispers, now play- ing at the Silverdome Theatre, jointly operated by DONALD MOORE and IRENE ANKROM.

JOHN COULTER, captain of the good ship Sarah, and stewardess, MARJORIE BELLAR, were telling of their rescue by Coast Guardsmen JACK HARE, CHARLES COFFEY, and JAMES WORRELL. WAYNE TAYLOR, movie king, posed for Reporter CHARLES TILBROOK. BE'I'I'Y TOOKER, portrait painter, asked Mr. Taylor to pose for her. DONNA JEAN NORRIS, beauty queen, models for Miss Tooker. BOB MAYER, owner of a chain of radio stations, features NELLIE BRUNNER'S Kiddie Hour and the singing of CHARLES STEWARDSON for the MARGARET ASH- LEY Soap Program. BE'I'I'Y WEAN'S all-girl orchestra entertains nightly, featuring BE'I'I'Y TOOPS, clarinetistg LEAH CUSTER, blues singer, and LORIE MERRI'I'I', swing pianist. Gentlemen Farmers, GORDON GIDDING and EDMOND WOODMANSEE, hope to nominate JOAN ALLEN, member of the Agricultural Party, founded by EVELYN MOR- ROW, for governor. ANNA LEE THOMAS, Miss Allen's personal secretary, believes she will be elected. In ROBERT GROSS' Department Store, LORIE WEST has charge of the jewelry section, while MILDRED DUNKLE clerks in the women's department supervised by HELEN WILLIS. Every afternoon, DOROTHY PLANTZ, champion typist, gives a demonstration of her technique. CHARLES RHOADS, certified public accountant, is auditing the books of the Na- tional Gunks Association. The Gunks were founded by BUD COX and JACK MERZ Page Twenty-Six as president. MARY WILLIAMS and DORIS STEED designed the Gunk's coat-of-arms. HARRIS WILLIS is the only member able to fly around the world up-side-down. BE'I'I'Y LUCAS has just finished her masterpiece, Kolorful Kapers of Karl Kay. MARJORIE CALDWELL is her press agent.

SARA LYON, DORIS SMITH, and PAULINE VANCE have founded a business school known as the Paint Valley Institute. The SARAH HAINES and VIRGINIA HAVENS Orphanage is nearby. SARAH RUTH STETHEM, noted social worker, has just re- turned from CLARENCE REED'S Dude Ranch in Wyoming. MARY JANE HYER, columnist, and HELEN STRALEY, aviatrix, were absorbed in LOUISE STEWART'S book review, Not for Love. That evening HAROLD REED gave an interesting talk on forestry and Reverend GLEN DAVIS closed the reunion with a very appealing benediction. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY .... Ring out the old, ring in the new. Although it is with heavy hearts that we, the Junior Class, composed of one hundred and thirty-three members, succeed our upper classmates, it is as inevitable as the passing of time. It is our hope that we have been as illustrious and co-operative as the Senior Class of 1940. As we glance back over the year, we are proud of the achievements we have ac- complished. Under the able supervision of Miss Nelson we elected class officers. William Allen, president, Donald Brandenburg, vice president, and Lela Backenstoe, secretary and treasurer. The class sweaters, which we chose, were gray with large scarlet numer- als, forty-one, and a small capital HW. The girls' rings this year for the first time were of the smaller type. The junior party held in the new gymnasium, February 14, carried out our usual valentine motif. Dancing, table tennis, and Kay Keyser's radio program kept every one interested. The junior class also contributed many members to band, orchestra, debate, and chorus. Juniors participating in debate were Robert Frost, Nina Bell Huff, Martha Bottenfield, and John Rhoads. Six of our boys were on the Varsity basketball team: Bob Reese, Bob Sexton, Jack Reno, Charles Spetnagle, Dick Sanderson, and Elvis Cardg while those on the football team were Bob Reese, Jack Reno, Ed Ruth, Dale Vincent, Bill McKinney, Tommy Mark, James Curry, Charles Spetnagle, and Dick Durnell. One of our junior girls had a part in The Tinker, the Christmas play. We express our gratitude to our teachers and sincerely hope that the achievement of this junior class will prove a milestone in the progress of Washington High School. -LELA BACKENSTOE.

As our second year of school comes to an end, we sophomores think back over the many good times we have had both this year and last. When we were freshmen, the first day of school was a little strange to us, but since that memorable day, we have accomplished much. At the beginning of our freshman year, we elected as class of- ficers: Jimmy Alkire, president, Jean Paul, vice-president, and Dick Powell, secretary- treasurer. Our freshman picnic, held at Cedar Hurst, was particularly enjoyable. The best freshman girl's essay in the county in the American Legion Essay contest was that of Emma Jo Sanders. We did nothing outstanding last year, but under the guidance of Miss Keinath, our adviser, we finished our freshman year with greater hopes to con- tinue our high school career. Again this year, our class picnic was a success as were the home room parties held during the year. In the magazine drive we rated second with 116 per cent. Not only did the class stand out in social activities but also in sports. We had seven boys playing football and two acted as managers. Following football, came basketball with thirteen boys participating. The sophomore class, too, contributed its quota of entertainment to the student body through the orchestra, band and chorus. We are very proud to have a member of our class as concert mistress this year, Betty Jane Stewart. There are ten members in the band and orchestra, and in the chorus. Since the class as individuals could not achieve very much alone, we selected re- sponsible leaders: Loring Brock, our capable president, George Spetnagle, vice presi- dent, and Jean Paul, secretary-treasurer. As we feel that without these leaders and without the help of the faculty, under the helpful guidance of Miss Davis, our sophomore class adviser, we could not have accom- plished what we have, we wish to express our appreciation and gratitude to them all. -JEAN PAUL.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY .... At the beginning of the school year just past, we, as a freshman class of one hun- dred and sixty students, bravely entered the stately portals of Washington High Schoolg and from that time to this moment we have experienced a very enjoyable sequence of events. The freshman class, at its first gathering of the year, met under the supervision of Miss Schneider and elected the following class officers: Joan Wilson, president, Fern Wilson, vice-president: David Ellies, secretary and treasurer. During the first year of our new venture into higher education we took part with much enthusiasm in the magazine subscription contest and although we came out second best, the freshman class really set the pace. Also in the drive for the collection of sales tax stamps for the fund used to aid in the purchase of the pipe organ, which was placed in the new auditorium this year, the freshman class held its own during the hostilities. The freshman class is, and has reason to be, proud of its members who participated in athletics. There were three who played varsity football, Charles Robinson receiving a varsity letter. In addition twenty-eight members were on the Junior High team. After football came basketball in which three freshman boys, Pershing Mann, David Ellies, and Charles Robinson made their way to glory on the reserve team. Thirteen fresh- man boys were the inspiration and the force behind the junior high team. The musical talent of the freshman class was well represented by a large number of its members, twenty-two of whom belonged to the band and orchestra, and fifty were members of chorus, choir and glee club. s Another event which was approached with eager contemplation by freshman, was the annual freshman picnic, which was the last main event for the freshman class as a whole. The freshman picnic was an event which holds memories for all freshmen, the senior class of '43. ' The happenings experienced by us as freshmen would be regarded as but meager experiences by the world-at-large, but they have meant much to us. To the senior class, since they will not be around next year, we wish to extend our best wishes, and to those who have made our enjoyable experiences possible we say: Thanks for everything. -LLOYD FENNIG.

Page Thirty-Five EIGHTH GRADE HlSTORY.... September 11, 1939-first day of a new school year! We found one-hundred and forty-five pupilsassembled under very auspicious conditions, in spite of the fact that some came reluctantly, because of their regret at leaving school districts to which they were very much attached. We might have found much confusion in the high school building because of our knowledge that we were to become a part of the high school, but, forsooth, we became reconciled, and began organizing by assembling in what is now the art room. We were divided into four sections with Miss McCafferty, mathematics instructor, Section Ig Miss Montgomery, social science, Section II, Miss Gaut, science, Section III, and Miss Arnold, English, Section IV. 4 At first we were like all new students in high school. We passed into wrong rooms, changed on wrong bells, and seemed to lose our sense of direction entirely, but after the first few weeks we became acquainted with our new surroundings and disorder was lessened to some extent. On September 28, 1939, we assembled in room 116, and under the direction of Miss Arnold, our class adviser, we elected our class officers. As president, we chose Judith Paul, vice-president, Thomas McMurray, secretary-treasurer, Nancy Lee James. The first semester we were located in the new rooms of the main high school build- ing, but after the Christmas holidays we found that we had been moved to the new ad- dition. We are the only grade that has all its classes in the new class rooms. We were particularly proud to be called Junior High and to have the advantages such as chapel programs, library privileges, and other activities, which the Senior High school pupils enjoy. We will long remember our first pep meeting in the new gymna- sium and also our first assembly program in the new auditorium, when we were so royally entertained by the Ohio Wesleyan Quartet. We have tried to do our part to make this school year a success. The eighth grade has contributed seven members to the high school band, five to the junior orchestra, and five to the senior orchestra. Our class has also established a good record in the collec- tion of sales tax stamps for the organ fund. We, the eighth grade, want to extend our appreciation to the school board and to the city of Washington Court House, for the use of this lovely new building, and we sincerely hope that many more classes will have the pleasure of this building and its beautiful surroundings as we, the class of 1939-40. --LUCIE IRBY.

It was an undefeated champion that the fans heralded at the annual football banquet-the largest banquet ever held for a Washington Court House team. The team members were given gold footballs by the fans. Coach Steve Shay is the man responsible for this fine team. He worked very hard, always keeping the boys in good spirits. The season was high-lighted by two unusual football players Langdon Corky McCoy and Winfield Mac McKinney. Corky's wonderful kicking won him a first string berth on the All-Ohio team. His fine spirit and all-around playing as end man won him the admiration of all the fans. McCoy averaged forty-six yards per kick, the best record in the nation according to several sports writers. Mac McKinney's long runs and frequent touchdowns put fear in every on-coming opponent. He received honorable mention in the state. Willard Dice, Charles Steward- son, Charles Coffey, Jack Merz, Jack Hare, Richard Wilson, and Harris Willis will be lost by graduation, Their loss will be felt very much. McCoy, McKinney, Jim Alkire, Dick Whited and Bob Reese were also given honor by being chosen on the All-South Central league team. Sportswriters and coaches chose the team. South Central League.

The 1939-40 edition of the Blue Lion Basketeers met with fair success, winning eight out of seventeen games. Included were victories over Wilmington, 28-21, and Hillsboro, 37-24. These victories over their ancient rivals proved to be the only triumphs registered in the South Central League. December 30 will be a date of remembrance to all members of the team, for on that date the new gymnasium was dedicated. At this time was probably played the most excit- ing game of the year. In two overtime periods the Lions forged ahead to win from Colum- bus Central, 21-19, Another Frank Merrwell took place a few weeks later in the Bexley game. A long shot from mid-court in the last ten seconds sent the game into an extra period from which Washington High emerged the victor, 37-35. In scoring, Elvis Card, guard and forward, led the team with a total of 180 points. This figure is believed to be the highest individual scoring mark made by any Blue Lion eager for a number of years. He hit the nets for 21 points against Bexley and 24 against London in the season finals.

WE ARE SEVEN was the theme which dominated the senior class play this year. The play, Seven Sisters, was the story of seven Hungarion sisters-ranging in age from twelve to twenty-two-their many men admirers, their mother, Mrs. Gyurkovics, and many others. The entire play took place in Hungary. It was a comedy of situation and was unusual in its costuming and setting. This play was the first senior play to be pre- sented in the new high school auditorium. CHRISTMAS PLAY-Seven students of the high school presented the annual Christmas play this year at the new Sunnyside auditorium. It was presented two days with two performances each day. The play yvas entitled The Tinker. It was not the usual type of Christmas play, but rather was a modern comedy. The moral was excellent, and it was a great success. Mr. Verne B. Wootton, English instructor, was the director. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY-The Junior Class of Washington High School presented Murder in Rehearsal, a mystery farce in three acts for their annual junior play. The play was presented the night of May 31. Murder in Rehearsal, written by Austin Goets, revolved around Sheriff Cullen, a sturdy raw-boned officer of the law. This part was ably portrayed by Robert Frost. The play, considered successful by the Junior Class and by those who attended, was the first junior play to be presented in the new auditorium.

The new addition of the high school made it pos- sible for Washington to have a debate tournament for the first time, at which we were- the host to one hundrd fifty debaters representing twenty schools of Ohio. The ex- perienced debaters of Washington have fifteen victories to their credit against twelve losses. Coach F. L. Obee is looking forward very optimistically for a successful season next year, although he is losing five seniors. SHOWBDAT PLAY-A showboat was moored for two days on Sunnyside school ground. During these two days the high school band and orchestra produced an old- fashioned meller dramor for the benefit of the organ fund. This play, A Debt of Honor, was complete with hero, heroine, and a villain. As the play was not being pub- lished at any of the play houses, Mr. Kay wrote it from memory. Between acts, candy and popcorn were sold, just as on a regular showboat. After this production the cast pro- duced the play at Frankfort in the afternoon and at Madison Mills in the evening. ONE-ACT PLAY-On February 21 at Xenia Central High School auditorium was held the One Act Play Contest. Washington High School was represented in this con- test by Moonset under the direction of Mr. Verne Wootten, English instructor. The play, of a deeply moving religious theme, was ably enacted by the cast and capably di- rected. Moonset was also given at the Parent-Teacher Association Convention, and was then presented a third time at the Christian Church.

It is opened to anyone in the high school, The Choir is composed of only sixty of the total eighty voices in the Chorus. They presented their first sacred concert last year at the Methodist Church. ORCHESTRA AND BAND-The past year has seen our program of instrumental music moving with the building program of the school. As workmen invaded the old auditorium, we moved to other quarters for summer practice. With the beginning of football the field house became our headquarters, and it was not until a short time be- fore our annual concert that we entered the Little Theatre for our practice periods. The band assisted in Memorial and Armistice Day programs and in the Fayette County Fair. The Football Band was standardized at forty-eight uniformed players. A charming glial drum majorettej' Martha Bottenfield, assisted the regular drum major, Hugh Gid- g. 1 i Page Forty-Eight GIRL RESERVES-FIRST ROW-Lusher, Brandenburg, Garringer, Graves, Willis, Mal- low, Paul, Craig, McGinnis, Norris, Chase, Denen, Thompson, Lewis, Norris.

Under the guidance of their advisers, Miss Marjorie Evans and Miss Helen King, the girls have sponsored dances, operated a refreshment stand at the football games, given a Christmas party for needy children, and entertained the boy friend at the annual Girl Reserve party. HI-Y-In its program of service to the school and community the Hi-Y club has consistently worked with others in fulfillment of its purpose. In our football banquet we honored our team for its superior record. We followed a three point plan at Christmas- time: We gave a party for many needy children, we supplied a family with food and toys, and we co-operated with the Mothers' Circle in repairing toys. -I I 1 Pa e Forty-Nine COMMERCIAL CLUB--The High School Commercial Club was organized in 1938 under the direction of two members of the faculty, Miss Gladys Melson and Miss Mar- garet Schneider, comxnercial teachers. The purpose of the club is to bring out to com- mercial students the things they do not learn in regular commercial classes. LATIN CLUB-Another new club to make its appearance at Washington High School is the Latin Club, Phi Epsilon. It is under the direction of Miss Kathleen Davis and has an enrollment of thirty-two, the membership chosen from the second year Latin students. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION-The G. A. A. has long been one of the out- standing organizations of the high school. Not only do the girls participate in athletic games, but this year they held the first square dance or barn dance ever sponsored by a high school group. Miss Mary Osborn, physical education instructor, is at the head of the G. A. A. The intramural sports such as volley ball, deck tennis, basketball, shuffle- board, and baseball were entered into by the girls with enthusiasm. Other highlights of the year were the Mother and Daughter banquet and play day held at Wilmington.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA-For the second year the students of Wash- ington High School who are thinking of teaching as a profession have had a Future Teachers' Club. This club was organized last year, named the Birch-Mann Chapter, and given the second charter in the state of Ohio. Actual teaching experience in the city schools is arroutstanding activity of this organization. LIBRARY STAFF-The Library Staff has done much work this year as always and has been very successful. Next year we are going to have a new system. We hope to receive more benefit from the books than we have heretofore. Numerous and var- ious types of books have been added. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA-The second year of the Future Home- makers has proved a successful one. Under the guidance of Miss Ruth Oviatt, fifty- eight girls, members of the home economics classes, have held candy sales, bake sales, served at banquets, and have had interesting speakers at their meetings.

A few months later as the interest in conser- vation spread, a Girls' Conservation Club, under the direction of Miss Osborn, was organized.

They are the center of much business and civic activities of the community. They are a social asset. Prominent visitors to the city are entertained. Social events center largely in hotels and country clubs. As a business asset hotels bring much extra business to any city. Hotel guests spent thousands of dollars with other local firms.
