R. LEROY COLBY was graduated with the A. B. degree from Ohio Northern University in 1934. In the following year, he received the A. M. de- gree from the same institution. Recognition of his thorough scholarship and academic attainment won for him a membership to that scholastic fraternity, the Phi Beta Kappa. Moreover because of his scholastic attain- ments, his university conferred upon him a fellowship under which he received his first teaching experience while doing graduate work in foreign and classical languages. In the fall of 1935, Ashland High was for- tunate in adding this young man to its teaching staff. This genial, unassuming teacher soon revealed an ability totally apart from books. He came to be recog- nized as an expert tennis player. Again Ashland High was fortunate in gaining his consent to coach this sport. Under his tutelege the school has become tennis minded and the players have acquired real ability. However, to the general student body and the faculty, he is best known as Mr. Colby, the French and Spanish teacher and adviser of the French Club. Under his able direction and leadership those foreign languages have been made interesting, and new literary fields have opened up for Ashland students. It is honest praise that is given Mr. Colby for his quiet efficiency, his kindly ways, and sincere purpose. THE 1938 CLASS 2
