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.
