Senior Graduation Wednesday evening, May 31, at the high school auditorium fifty-one seniors will participate in their last and most important school activity- their graduation. Mr. David G. Jaeger, president of the Board of Educa- tion, will present the diplomas. It is with regret that the Class of '39 brings to a close twelve years of congenial associations. They know that although they will enter diverse fields, the originality and ingenuity shown by them as a class will not cease with their graduation. ln addition to an address by Dr. F. H. McNutt, Assistant Director of Education of Ohio, short talks will be given by four members of the class. The speakers were chosen because of their scholastic standing.

Class History When school opened that memorable September day of 1927, expectancy and wonderment filled the eyes of all the new first graders. Of the original number, sixteen have re- mained to graduate. The roll call then included, among others, Norma Andersen, Donald Asher, Josephine Dogg, Stanley Easty, Carol Erwin, Vladimir Grachanin, John Griffiths, Peggy Hursh, Kenneth Kittinger, Thelma Mains, Jane Myers, Ray- mond Seitz, Merle Siebenhaar, Frank Stumpf, Sara Lou Whit- num, and Bert Willison. The first roll call af the senior class still included these names. The beginning of the year was spent mostly in getting oc- quainted with our classmates. Then about the first of Decem- ber, Forest View School was opened. This divided our class, sending more than half of our pupils to the new school with Miss Gladys Weinbroer. The rest remained in Miss Mary Bolon's class at Parkview. The second grades, under Miss Sara May Loomis and Miss Gertrude Trudel, sow o decrease in pupils with the departure of John Griffiths. During this year we started to cultivate our social instincts by attending several birthday parties. Do you remember Jane Myers' party when Jane had the mumps and the class had the party? The third grades, under Miss Clara Jones and Miss Esma Riley, showed no increase in pupils possessed of the adherent qualities of the original sixteen. This proved to be a rather uneventful year. Miss Martha Brown and Miss Riley had charge of our pioneering in the fourth grades. Stanley Easty left us. ln his place we welcomed at Parkview twins, Jeannette and Tom Treter, and Richard Horton. The fifth grade brought all of us together again at For- est View. Our class was so large that we again had to be divided, but only temporarily, under Mrs. Mary Hitchings and Mrs. Cleverdon. Stalwart Nora Korsgaard and illustrious Ed- ward Studney joined us. Edward left for a while in the middle of the year but returned before the school year was over. Our histrionic abilities cropped forth in the form of Alice in Wonderland this year. We wonder if they still believe all they see. Miss Viola Walker took charge of our class in the sixth grade when we welcomed Virginia Hill and Alan Orvis, and brought John Griffiths back to us. This year we developed our athletic talents. lt seems that girls, as well as boys, were interested in baseball, track, and numerous other sports. Here we are, in 1933, back at Parkview again. With the addition of Susan Briggs, Arthur Karcher, and Peggy Pickin, we now have twenty-five in number. Mrs. Hannah Bartz, a new teacher, took charge of our class after Miss Marguerite Lorentz's death during the Christmas vacation. Mrs. Bartz survived as our home room teacher in the sev- enth grade ond continued in that capacity in the eighth. Frances Case and Henry Osterman were welcomed as our new classmates. Mrs. Bartz coached us in presenting o minstrel show, a new form of entertainment in the school. We don't like to brag or anything like that, but after our astounding success ot school, we were reauested to perform at both the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches. The ninth grade brought us eleven new members: Russell Beck, Aubrey DeWitt, .lames DeWitt, Stanley Easty, Eugene Goerke, Louise Hagedorn, Margaret Hagedorn, Robert Hayden, Dorothy Meilander, Raymond Scherler, and John Walsh. Miss Hayes had charge of our motley throng this year. The high- and-mighty freshmen undertook o class dinner dance-swing orchestra, formals, and all the trimmings! Some Class! Four new students ioined Miss Marvel Sebert's tenth grade. They were Anthony Bisceglia, Ed Harris, Edmund Smith, and Muriel Woodson. With the applause of the eighth grade min- strel show still ringing in our ears, we decided to favor our clamoring public with another production. As Mr. William Battrick's juniors, we welcomed Jeanne Evans, Lee Lehecko, Robert Tennyson, Leonard Weber, and Jean Wehrle. Now, this was THE year! Jackets, rings, dinner dance, parties, and the junior play. Again we introduced something new, having four one-oct plays instead of the usual three-act play. The applause proved the success of the idea. At lost we are seniors and back again in Mrs. Bortz's care. Still we ore increasing and have been joined by Rowena Galbraith, Ralph Talas and David Conn. We started off suc- cessfully by having one of the first activities, our Senior Play. As usual we have had various class parties, the high light of course being the Senior Prom. We are naw looking forward to the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance, and then finally to Commence- ment. On May 31, l939, we will all graduate, and afterward trod many different paths, but we shall always cherish our happy associations with our classmates and teachers, and trust that that bond of friendship may never be broken. 41 'PWENTY
