Q .-.. ... 6 59 THE AUCTION Ladies and Gentlemen, Most Esteemed Faculty, Students and Fresh- men: Preparing to go forth from her beloved Alma Mammy, the Class of 1930 finds that she has accumulated a goodly wealth of virtues dur- ing her regime in that institution of learning known as Boardman High School. Deeming it a benefit to the purchasers, she decided, after due consideration, to offer the aforesaid virtues at Public Auction. The result is that you assembled here will now have the glorious opportunity of bidding for the accomplishments which have been so long cherished. Looking out on this wonderful audience, the most intelligent look- ing one it has ever been my pleasure to serve, I am sure out sacrificing efforts will not be in vain. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with a feeling of extreme happiness and good will that the Class of '30 places upon the block: First, the dignity and broadmindedness of our fair class. Many bid, but wonder of wonders, the faculty bids highest! We add, gratis, our thanks for the efficient manner in which they have helped us run the school. Next, friends, I offer those well-worn animals used in our travels with Caesar. The sophomores buy them, and they will surely need them. We now present our lovely trinkets and playthings. Of course the freshies outbid everyone. What am I offered for the high scholastic standing of the Class of 1930? Wait a minute, not so fast! Ah! I knew the juniors would bid highest. Ladies, pay particular attention! Kathryn Detrow offers her noisy, forward manner. The bidding is high, but Buddie Kurfess gets it. I place on the block next, friends, a pocketful of hydrogen. Well, well, Mr. Hershberger gleefully takes it. Real talent is now offered-the musical ability of Willis Kubiac. I seem to hear Squeaky McGowan giving the highest bid, therefore he receives the same. The next virtue to be presented is the smooth, efficient, and quiet library period of Virginia Cushman. Miss Ewing rates. Ladies, I again give you a real privilege when I offer the gigantic stature of Isabelle Carlson. What, do I hear Terna bidding? Oh well, he can have it, it won't hurt him. Now, gentlemen, I favor you. The superfluous vocabulary of George Brown is placed on the block. Come, come, the bids are far too low for this worthy talent. Going, going, sold! To Mr. Tidd! The quiet, dreamy attitude of Dale Wiseman, I now offer. Hund- reds of bids, but Erickson is high. 21 0 4919 C9

+139 QP 49 I l 49 - 0 --so - 0 -- Q Disregarding the election, the football captaincy to succeed Bo Moore is now open for bids. I can handle only one at a time, folks! Georgie Hammar wins. Friends, I next offer the oratorical ability of the demure Virginia Hunter. After many bids, I award same to Mary Hester Reno. Surely you have all heard of Maynard Moore's craving for Eddie's Donuts. I now offer this capacity. Since there seems to be a grand tie, I suggest that the Hi-Y Club of 1931 buy it. Now, friends, I offer Cal Wood's ability to attract the well known opposite sex. Ah, hah! Bud Seidner bids highest. All you jumpy people sit up and take notice. Don McClurg's calm, steady temperament is now offered. I see that Howard Wormley gets same, since he bids highest. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we offer you a sensational oppor- tunity, the cream of the crop-the good will of the seniors. It seems unanimous, the needy world gets it! As we close, permit me to announce that all of the many other talents of the Senior Class will be offered to those institutions which care for the needy. Friends, I know you are all highly pleased with your trophies, but if for any reason you have cause'for complaint, remember, it was your own fault if you bought anything. I thank you! FREDERICK S. HOSSEL, ,30. SERIOUSLY THOUGH- One thing the Class of '30 has not put up at auction is its privilege of being the first class to graduate from Boardman Hgih School since its admittance to membership in the North Central Association of Secon- dary Schools and Colleges. Early in March Boardman High, the first county school to qualify, was made a member of the leading association of class A and B high schools and colleges. A usual detailed inspection was made of school equipment, standard of scholastic work done, qualification of teachers and general efficiency of the school before an invitation to membership was extended. Besides the satisfaction of knowing that Boardman High School is recognized as up to the standard of the very best of the nation, students who wish to enter accredited colleges will find entrance examinations waived for them as for other members of the North Central. The North Central Association, which includes schools from Ohio and West Virginia to Montana, is more strict in its requirements for a first-class high school than even the state department. 22
