The History of the Class of '41 In the fall of 1937 we, a large class of 180, began our life at Xenia Central. lt seems only a short time ago, and we remember so well whcn the girls carried their baby dolls, and the boys had been properly ducked in the fountain. That fall we elected our first class ofiicers. David Adair was named president, Lawrence Davis, vice president, Willard Bath, secretaryg Wendell Cultice, treasurer. The year came and went, as we struggled through Algebra, Latin and English until we felt perfectly acquainted with high school life. Although the next year found us Silly Sophomores' we proved to be dif- ferent by introducting Sadie Hawkins' Day, adapted from the comic strip Lil' Abner. The dance was the largest one in many years and it was decided to make it an annual event. Our officers that years were David Adair, president, Elsthon Anderson, vice president, Ruth Collier, secretary, Willard Bath, treasurer, and Miss Clark and Mrs. Nybladh were our advisers. At the end of school we enjoyed a class picnic at Bryan Park. In our Junior year we were busy selling candy at the football and basketball games in order to raise funds for class activities. Later in the year we presented our class play, The Patsy, which first displayed the dramatic talent of the class. Then, in April we sponsored a bigger and better Sadie Hawkins' Dance. That year pictures of many of our Dogpatch characters were featured in the magazine section of the Dayton Daily News. In contrast to the old clothes and carnival spirit, we next planned the Junior- Senior Reception. A Sunken Garden effect was employed which gave the illusion of a moonlit garden in the springtime. This night, so short, will live forever in the memory of the class of '4l. David Adair had been again elected presidentg Mary Lou Martin, vice president, Jean Hull, secretaryg Robert Lighthiser, treasurerg and Misses Elizabeth Stout and Helen Miller were advisers. The year closed with the class picnic held at Bryan Park. The history of our Senior year can hardly be called more than the recording of present events. The beginning of the year was saddened by the death of one of our beloved members to whom this yearbook is dedicated. We elected the follow- ing officers: Elsthon Anderson, president, Robert Geyer, vice presidentg Leah Burke, secretaryg Martha McClellan, treasurer, and Mrs. Nybladh and Mr. Bales were appointed advisers. We sponsored two fall dances after the football games, promoting goocl-fellow- ship between schools by inviting the visiting teams. We have pushed into every line of student activity. For the third consecutive year, we sponsored the Sadie Hawkins' Dance, and with formal ceremony willed the Junior Class this unique celebration. One Wild Night was our class play given on May twenty-third. Only six days later the graduation exercises were conducted at the Field House. Whereas when Freshman, four years sounded like an interminable time. now looking back, we wonder how we could have accomplished so much. The records and traditions which we have started and which time does not permit us to finish, we pass on to the Junior Class. During our last year in school, two more awards were added to the already well-filled trophy case--one for the Miami Valley Foot- ball Championship and the other for the South Western Tournament in Basketball. We lost the semi-finals in the State Tournament 36-34 to Martins Ferry. We hope that another outstanding accomplishment of our Senior year has been the publica- tion of this Annual. Nineteen
