Guest speaker at the meeting of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, held at the home of President Mary Sue Rychener, was Mr. Her- bert Wyse. His speech was entitled Bring Back Prohibition. His final words were, Take all the liquor and throw it in the river! The meeting was closed with the singing of the fine old hymn, Shall We Gather at the River? PRESIDENT DECLARES NO INCOME TAX Too Much Money In Treasury President Denver L. Wyse stated today that the nation is entering a period of prosperity. The reason for this is, of course, the World Peace Treaty signed recently at Copenhagen. Foreign Correspondent Benny Pidbirny reports similar conditions in all European and Asiatic countries: and, as a result, they are paying back all debts and interest due. So, for the time being, we will have no income taxes. SOCIAL COLUMN Rumor has it that Hattie Clingaman will waltz down the aisle again, this time with the Oil King, Donald Ruienacht. It is suspected that the engagement gift will be a vermillion Cadillac. Miss Harriet Spengler, who began her nurs- ing career at Percy Iones Hospital, has finally received the transfer which she applied for when veterans were replaced by WACS twenty-five years ago.

It is rumored that the well known talent scout for the Philharmonic Symphony, Darrell Stuckey, will be among those invited. SPORTS COLUMN Florence King's Blond Bombers were again rated top girls' basketball team in the nation. We extend our heartiest congratulations. Glendon Schantz, The Swedish Devil, won his match last night with Gypsy George Wag- ner who, incidently, put up quite a fight. The mighty Gypsy gave Mrs. Schantz, the former Muriel Miller, several moments of real anx- iety.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ln September 1948 fourteen students from Elmira and seven from Zone joined the thirty-four from Archbold to become the future seniors of 1952. Fifty-five students were initiated and made full-fledged members of A.H.S. Under the guidance of President Marlin Riegsecker, they also gave the sopho- mores a good return party. The next year all these students came back except seven. They elected Sally Scales to be their leader. Under her guidance they picked out their class rings and pins and decided what plays they would give as Iuniors. Four more students dropped out at the beginning of their Iunior year and one more later. In their busiest year, Denver Wyse, a most capable president was elected. On November 3, 1950, they presented a hilarious play, HILLBILLY COURTSHIPH and on March 27 their other play, A CASE OF SPHIIiGTl1VlE. Then all the year's work was brought to a point when they entertained the seniors at the Iunior-Senior Banquet and Prom. The chosen theme was OVER THE RAINBOW. In their last year, they lost another classmate after school started. They elected Ralph Burkholder to lead them during their last year of high school. 'lhey decided to publish another annual, so much work and planning was put into that. On April 18 they were entertained royally in Neptune's Court at the Iunior-Banquet given them by the Iuniors. On April 21 they all attended Career Day at Wauseon. This year they presented two plays. On April 29 they put on the comedy MUlVIBO' lUlVlBO and on May 2 ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN. On May 18 they assembled in the auditorium for their Baccalau- rsat: service with Reverend Dietz from St. Martins Lutheran Church as the speaker. May 20 was the date of the commencement exercises for the class with Grove Patterson giving the address. Finally on May 725, they left on their trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City, thus ending their days at A.H.S. with the various members of the class going into many different Walks of life.

SENIOR OBITUARY It is with profound regret that we announce the death of the well-known and highly re- spected Senior class of the Archbold High School. After its remarkable achievement recent- ly with the examinations, which it passed with flying colors, the class was noticed to be chang- ing perceptibly, Upon skilled diqgngsis, the trouble proved to be an enlargement of the intel- lect which, after a lingering attack lasting four years, caused the demise of the class on May 18 The senior class was one respected and loved by all who knew it and will be greatly miss- ed in the social, athletic, and educational circles of the school and neighborhood. Its qualities of industry, idealism, and charm endeared it to all who had the pleasure of its aCquaintaI1C9. and it will be sincerely mourned by the faculty, classmates, and friends. Its place in the social life of the school was by no means small and in the field of athlet- ics it was widely known. In its mental achievements, however, it attained its greatest distinc- tion and gained high honors. The passing of the Senior class leaves a void in the intellectual circles of the school that will be long marked. The loss of this class will be deeply felt in the community also, and it will be difficult to assemble another with so much public spirit and power of accomplishment. The Senior class is survived by a Iunior class, a Sophomore class and a Freshman class. The first mentioned will be appointed to the place left vacant by the untimely decease of the Senior class, but can in no measure fill the position, nor will it be expected to do so at first. A great class has gone from us, and together we mourn its passing, consoling ourselves with this thought: ls quen di amant adulescens moritur, which means, He whom the gods love dies while a youth. i The funeral services were held in the auditorium on May 20, 1952. Attendance at the serv- ices was by invitation only, and all friends were requested to attend, bearing flowers and gifts. Services were conducted by Grove Patterson, Editor-in-chief of the Toledo Blade.
