THE SENIOR SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST Promptly at eight o'clock Saturday morning, March 28, eighteen hand-picked Boardman Seniors jauntly thrust open the heavy doors of South High and entered to take the Senior Scholarship Test given each year by the State Department of Examinations. Promptly at twelve-thirty, eighteen perspiring, deflated Boardman Seniors staggered from the doors and made for the nearest drug store with what speed they could muster, and ordered Food and more food to revive their sink- ing hearts. Gee, I never felt so dumb in all my life, remarked one timid senior. I'll bet that even those who made out the test couldn't answer all of the ques- tions, cockily replied another. What pride Boardmanites felt when they read in the newspaper the next morning that Paul Emch had taken first honors and that seven others from Boardman had placed in the upper twenty-five per cent of the ranks as follows: Roberta Proctor, and Leonard Skeggs, fourteenthg Leonard Baker, nineteenthg Kenneth Little, twenty-fifth, Dean Stillson, twenty-ninthg and Robert Jessop, thirtieth. While the contestants remember the steady grind of the four hour test, they also chuckle to themselves as they recall several amusing occurrences during and following the test. Hilda Lucas became so excited that she paid the required fee herself, only to find out later, much to her disgust, that the school had paid it for her. After many explanations and much confusion she was refunded the money. The test threw Romaine Clever and Martha Jones into such a state that they stood for five minutes in an ice cream parlor trying to figure out how much change they would receive if they spent ten out of Iifteen cents. When the results were announced Boardman students and faculty beamed with pride for the brave showing that the senior intelligentia made in the test. Although Boardman has always ranked high in the scholarship tests of pervious years, she shone more brightly than ever with Paul Emch's first place as the main jewel in her crown.

Bart THE SENIOR PLAY I When a pretty girl hears a young man say that he wou1dn't marry her on a bet, trouble is bound to come, and it did in the Senior Play, Big Business present- ed May first, 1936. The plot centered around Bradford Fitch, played by Kenneth Little, and Racy Osgood, Eleanor Schulz. Racy under the efficient name of Miss Work, proceeded to save Fitch's business by making him a demonstrator for her physical culture pro- gram, agreeing that there should be no love affairs. Racy did her stuff , and al- though it was Leap Year, Brad did the proposing in the end. The supporting cast consisted of Dolly Adams, a scatter-brained office girl, played by Martha Jones, and Gilbert Osgood, Fred Bartz, who found romance during the play. Rupert Ross, played by easy-going Bob Jessop, was the pinch- penny landlord. Neat Harriet Hoover played the scrub woman Snow, and Charles McCall played Battling Malone , her husband. Romaine Clever, always active and efficient, took the suitable part of Natalie Caldwell, adoring secretary to Mr. Fitch. Roberta Proctor, who couldn't possibly make anyone's life miserable, succeeded in doing just that to Brad when she took the part of Rene Osgood, a fat cousin of Racy's. Mrs. Charlotta Schuyler, Brad's wealthy aunt and Godsend , was played by Olga Vaschak with her lorgnette and society accent. Quiet and capable Mary Jane Diehm took the role of Doctor Judith Wood . A complete .- mf' turn of events came about when Doctor Wood told Battling Malone , that he had a bad liver. As the cast took their final bow they remembered not only the many monotonous practices, but also the fun they had behind scenes , for instance, when someone wondered what Martha Jones was doing with her arms around Fred Bartz and was sadly dis- appointed because it was only a rehearsal for the play, also when Kenneth Little drank a glass of water taken from a vase of flowers. Mr. Bohn, formerly one of the Youngstown Players, was the very if . Igv, a X gf -. f T so-af!! ' F patient and capable director. He enjoyed many of the jokes be- l lt hind scenes also. The cast believed that Big Business of 1936 'fig went down in the history of Boardman school as one of the best plays ever produced.
