OUR CANDIDATE ' FOR SUCCESS 3 S2 A ROBERT SMITH Robert Smith has already shown us that he possesses certain qualities which are necessary to succeed in this world. First of all, he is a worker. He always has a job and is never afraid to take on another one- He is polite, dependable, honest, and capable of taking responsibilities. Bob also presents a neat appearance and has a friendly manner which enables him to meet the public and make friends with everyone he meets. Bob really did his share to put Ansonia in the headlines at the time of the Darke County Basketball Tournament when he was chosen all-county forward and almost captured the indi- vidual scoring honors. We Seniors are proud to have a member of our class who can compete with students from other schools and make such a good showing. Bob also won a trophy for making the highest percentage of free throws during the games this year. He won a similar trophy when he was a Junior. When we start summing up Bob's accomplishments, we find that he did other things be- sides play basketball- He was secretary of the Senior Class, business manager of the annual, sports editor of the school paper, business manager of the Senior play, chairman of the trip committee, and was a member of the baseball team. Bob was one of those people who took over the responsibilities connected with his particular jobs and did his share of the work. Like any other normal high school boy, Smitty gets into his share of mischief. He has a vast amount of energy that must be used up, so he usually finds a way to use it. When there is work to be done, however, Bob is on hand to see that it is done. Robert's scholastic record is nothing to be ashamed of either, because he holds one of the best records among the boys in the class. With a little more effort put on studies, he could have run the girls a good race for the top honors- We think Bob has many traits which will take him to the top if he uses them in the right way. Yes, we nominate Robert Smith Our Candidate for Success!

Four years of this game have given him the distinc- tion of being chosen honorary captain of the team. Paul is prominent in our commercial department, hav'ng served on both the newspaper and annual staffs. He is often seer roaming the halls with atom-chaser Henkaline. Paul believes in having a good time, bu1 nevertheless, his scholastic ability rates high. We're proud to claim him as an Ansonia graduate. ELLIS DETLING, our vice president, may be a little quiet and reserved, but we have a feeling he can make his own decisions without having anyone to tell him what to do. Det's fav orite pastime is getting together with Shivy and Bob and arguing about whose cal will go the fastest. Ellis played some basketball during his first year in high school bu1 since then his outside activities have been in connection with the F. F- A. He will nc doubt make an excellent farmer. ROBERT SMITH, our secretary, is probabily the busiest boy in the class. VVhen there isn't ang mischief to get into, Bob is more than likely getting advertising. If he isn't getting adver tising, he may be turning in annual money, typing a letter for somebody, practicing bas ketball, delivering papers, building a fire at the church, or doing some of the many othei jobs which he has. Smitty can be depended upon to do a job right- VVe have Bob t1 thank for the financial success of the annual: he did a fine job as business manager. ELDON SHIVERDECKER, our treasurer, has been with us for seven years, and a mighty fini fellow he is to have around. He has been an active member of the F. F. A. for four year: and has aways been on hand to do his share when there is extra work to be done- Shivy' is another fellow who likes to spend his spare time talking about automobiles. We wisl you the best of luck, Eldon. GERTRUDE GRAY, our reporter, came to Ansonia during her Junior year. She puts spice int- English and Democracy classes by always being able to put up a good argument. Gertie' has taken part in various senior activities and has been a member of the F. H. A. Gertrud has unbounded possibilities of climbing up the ladder of success. May she prosper in wha1 ever vocation she chooses!

FIRST IN BEAUTY? 5 FIRSTIN ' KNOWLEDGE MARJORIE LYONS When you find beauty and intelligence combined, you have something to be proud of and the Senior Class is proud to have Marjorie as one of its members. Marjorie's beauty won for her a contest which entitles her to a trip to Columbus. The judges for this contest were Hollywood talent scouts and the trip to Columbus includes a screen test. Wou.ldn't we be thrilled to have a member of the Class of 1941 in the movies? Marjorie's intelligence won for her a trip to Florida by way of the alcohol quiz contest in which she competed with winners from all of the schools in the county. The remarkable part about these contests was that she won both of them within a period of about fifteen hours- Marjorie is a person who leaves nothing undone. She is a thorough student who usually comes out at the top of the class in any project that is carried on. She is one of those few people who can maintain a high scholastic ranking without sacrificing the social part of school life. She ranks at the top of her class and yet takes part in many extra curricular activities. She usually has a prominent place in any organization to which she belongs. Among the duties which Marjorie has had during her Senior year were being editor of the annual and editor of the school paper. These were both difficult tasks which required much time and effort- Marjorie did an excellent piece of work with both of them. She was also quite a prominent member of the music organizations and had a part in the Senior play. Her consideration for other people probably accounts for Marjorie's many friends. Mar- jorie has a desire to always do the right thing, and anyone who keeps this point of View is going to get along in this world. We have confidence in you, Marjorie, and we shall be watching you.
