NINTH GIQADE DFIZICEIQI ROBERT SHANRS . , . . . , . . QA.,.,. AA. , , . . . , . . President The Ninth Grade had very competent officers this year. Robert Shanks. our president, is rap' idly making his way into the Ada High School Hall of Fame. There never arises an occasion which does not call forth excellent ideas from Bob. and his ingenuity enables him to make these ideas realities. RICHARD EVERHART i..,ra ..lr,.,, ..,..,4a, . V ice-President Dick, a new but popular boy. carried the honors of vicefpresident. Time has made us more conscious of the wisdom of our choice. Whether it be in the classroom or in school activities, Lick always proved himself a real leader. He soon convinced us that he is an asset to our class. ROBERT BURNETT . . . , . ...,.. . . ,,,..., Secretary-Treasurer As a skilled banker handles his coin, so does Bob handle our dues, That he has more talent than that of a mere collector is made evident by the artistic ability displayed in the Pay Up signs which have often decorated the walls of our homeroom. Bobs accomplishments have earned much praise for him. YPAUL NEISWANDFR. EIGHTH GRADE UFFICEIDI WILLIAM CONNER . . . , , . . . . , , . . . . . .

ANNA FRANCES BENTLEY ..,, ..,. . , , Secretary-Treasurer In the selection of oflicers, we further displayed our wisdom by choosing Anna Frances Bent- ley secretary-treasurer. lf anyone had not paid his dues, she was always reminding him of it.

THE TITQUIDHY CASE URING past years Ada High School has been recognized as the small school with the mighty teams. And how true this is! In almost every tournament We have entered, the people have prophesied that we were sure to be defeated. Our team would then surprise everyone and win the first game, then the second, and the third. By the time the finals came around, the people from the towns whose teams had already met with defeat, were, in al- most every case, praisers and rooters for our team. Thus, the boys from the Hick Town of Ada have gained recognition for old A. H. S. ln 1918 and 1919 Bluffton College began holding basketball tournaments. ln 1920 Ada decided to enter. The cup that had been offered was one that the winner held for a year: then the first team to win the cup three consecutive years was allowed to retain it. ln 1918 Lima Central Won the cup. and in 1919 La- fayette. In 1920 Ada achieved first place in the meet. They repeated their suc- cess in 1921. A third consecutive victory in 1922 made possession of the trophy permanent. Since then. we have turned out consistently good teams. We have also added trophies to our collection through our prowess in musi- cal and literary meets. Last year alone, four cups were gained by the school through winning various contests. Ada High School is truly proud of its collec- tion of trophies and has a deserved right to be. -MAX VJERTHEIMER.
