Twelve years ago you Seniors of the Class of 1939, then small six year olds, waved goodbye to your mothers and started of for your first day at school-the beginning of a long road on which you were to meet many ad- ventures and undergo experiences which have helped to make you what you are today. Now you have come to the place where that road branches- now you may choose the particular path which leads to what you desire from life. That choice is a challenge to you today. What are you going to do to serve your world this time? A commencement speaker said facetiously, The senior class motto now-a-days is 'W. P. A., here we come.' I am glad to believe that you Seniors are not looking forward to an easy job-not planning on being provided for. Rather you are going to make a contribution to the world in your services. Thus far you have been on the receiving end. Your parents, many times by sacrifices, have made it possible for you to share in the opportunities of education. From now on you will be contributors. By the work of your hands and brains you will contribute to the Work of the world. To this end the public schools have endeavored to train to efficiency the mind and body. This is evident to the casual observer, but he who runs may not so easily read the deeper meaning of educationg the school has tried to devel- op in you Seniors certain attitudes towards life-love of learning, desire to work, ambition, love of fair play and justice, tolerance, and unselfishness. These are things of the spirit, only through spiritual life may we save our civilization from the greed of dictators, from the menace of material things. We believe the Class of 1939 is ready and fitted to meet the challenge. In it and in all youth lies the hope of America. -A. R. White It is customary to offer congratulations to members of graduating classes. Why this custom? Have you reached an end ?-an objective? The answer is no. High school graduation today is an achievement expected of the youth of this nation. Those who do not complete high school attract more attention than those who do. A few years ago only the few were graduatedg the majority discontinued their public education before the completion of the twelfth grade. The changing world has affected this sit- uation until today we find the normal young men and young women all high school graduates. Graduation is not an end in itself 3 it is not the ultimate objective. It is a partial means to an endg a stepping stone or a mile post along the course of life. A high school diploma possesses no magic power which will assure the student a livelihood or a definite place in the society of man. Your graduation does, however, indicate that you have met one of the necessary requirements placed upon the young men and the young women by present day society and business-the completion of a high school course. People who have not graduated from high school are now denied the right to enter many fields of employment. Your experience in overcoming the obstacles along the way, your dili- gence and application in accomplishing school assignments, your civic and social participation in your school society-all have contributed to the training and judgment which you will need very much in the future. Your education has just begun. It will continue as long as you live. Congratulations upon the progress which you have made to date! Best wishes for continued success and happiness in the future. If you preserve two things-a good reputation and your credit-you can be but an asset to any community regardless of your financial success. Good-bye, and Bon Voyage. -Rufus Scales Q, Q' Q J X .

We caught Miss Bowland just as she was reaching into the frigidaire. Besides Working hard in her Home Economics department this year, she helped greatly in making our high school carnival a success. The peculiar angle of Mr. Robrock's camera changed Mr. White's car from an Oldsmobile to a powerful Duesenburg. 1'-M. l'X '-'-4 M, H'-CCJN P '-QNxx '-' ,Nw 'Wa ix-xg Q' iw Mgr Mm Maxx'-K. W. J? .

Dashing into the dressing rooin one day, Mr. Robrock took the shot at a wrong angle-thus you see only pait of Partee. RETROSPECTION Remember when we were freshmen? Our first party as students in high school? That horrible initiation? The trip through the tunnel? The jump into the city firemen's net? How those floured oysters were slipped into our mouths? Yet with the help of our able officers, Betty Winegard- ner, president, Jeanne Morton, vice-president, Frances Gardner, secretary- treasurer, John Stine and Stanley Kerr, student-council,we managed to slip through the ordeal of our first year as students in high school. I feel that our social life was rather limited this year due to the fact that the girls were only permitted to join one club, Mask 8x Sandal. Possibly the boys had a wider social range, for they were permitted to participate in all of the athletics. In our sophomore year we became more deeply involved with extra- curricular activities. We became members of Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Twin Arts, and again the fellows were active in the sports world. Our second year ran smoothly under the guidance of Howard Davis, president, Patri- cia Walter, vice-president, Leila Stahl, secretary-treasurer, John Lichty and Walter Betts, student-council. In such a short length of time we suddenly found ourselves upperclass- men. Another feather was added to the many already in our caps when we became members of the Hi-Life staH. Here we had our first chance of making our hands work as well as our minds in the producing of our school paper. Despite the fact that we were only co-workers, we worked in earn- est and proved valuable assets to the staff. Also as members of the junior class we met with our first big disap- pointrrent in our school life. The course of sailing had always been very smooth for us, in fact too smooth, for we at last ran against a rocky shore. The mem.bers of our class and also the seniors had Worked very diligently to make our prom a huge success. After We had all assembled for an even- ing of fun and frolic, the orchestra failed to make its appearance! I am sure that the entire evening would have been a decided failure had not The Royal Cavaliers most generously furnished us the necessary music for the evening. To represent our class during this year we elected Bob Kunkle, presi- dent. Bob Dillman, vice-president, Jeanne Morton, secretary-treasurer, and Bill Partee to the student-council. The following September we returned to school as sophisticated sen- iors. This year we were on the ut'nost limb of the social tree and worked hard in all of the organizations. For our last year in school we chose the following people as class officers: Stanley Kerr, president, Bob Dillman, vice-president, Jeanne Morton, secretary-treasurer, Doris Luke and Roma Brubaker, student-council. Our senior activities were brought to a close with the J unior-Senior prom in the gym, baccalaureate and graduation services in the auditorium, and also the traditional class play. At this time it is customary for us to receive the speeches of farewell, but contrary to fashion at this time, may we bid all our friends and teach- ers a fond farewell, Au Revoir.

Of course this is an entirely natural function since we are rapidly approaching the age when we shall attain the full amount of civic privi- leges and duties. A few of us will undoubtedly step immediately into mar- riage, but most of us will be primarily concerned with securing positions which we like and which have the possibility of advancement. Every nor- mal boy and girl dreams of someday possessing a family and home free from financial worry. We all know what it is that we want, but how to ob- tain it is our problem. A large number are desirous of attending college, and many of us will achieve our desire even though we may have to work for every bit of it. Discouraging is the outlook for many of us as we face the probability of war in the near future. Yet a few years ago the graduating classes were anticipating the same catastrophe. Still, it has not come-to us. Ever since we were so-o-o-o big, our textbooks have warned and prom- ised us that someday the task of government will be ours. But, as most young people, we haven't taken it seriously-haven't cared nor thought much about this responsibility. After all, what can I possibly do which will affect the nations-or even the United States ? has been our attitude if we thought about it at all. In a town the size of Bryan, where most of us shall remain, a body of almost one hundred public-spirited citizens can do a great deal for the general welfare. Many prophecies which aren't imaginative consist of adding up our good and bad points, or of the Ways by which we can develop a personality plus. All of us should take time to look at ourselves and strive for im- provements. In spite of the fact that this is supposed to be a prophecy, I do not feel that I, only a bewildered senior like the rest of us, can foretell the future. Nevertheless, I think it is safe to say that aside from the variety of careers which will be chosen, the success of some of us and failure of others, the fame of a few and obscurity of the mass, from an impersonal viewpoint we rnust all look pretty much alike-ten years hence. Eating, sleeping, work- ing, playing, loving,fearing-these are the elements which will make up our lives. If we have gained happiness, that's all that rratters. And it Won't be gained selfishly, but only by helping those iess fortunate than ourselves so that We may all live together in peace and content.

In this respect, they have not failed. Many of the Juniors are prominent in the A Cappella as Well as in chorus. Of course. they take their share of responsibilities in Girl Re- serves, Hi-Y. Twin Arts, and the Student Council, where they will hold off- ices in the coming year. Especially notable is their work in the Dramatic Club and in athletics. They may be justly proud of the two Juniors who fill regular positions on the varsity basketball team which went to state, and of their many members who participate in football and track. The Juniors, as a whole. have been a rather carefree group. which is entirely natural. But next year they will have to settle down to the serious business of being leaders and of deciding on the course of their future lives. Row I-Ruth Kronse, Clara Livengood, Marion Mc-Kay.

We have made good strides in our upward Have shown our mettle in field and class. We are rather proud of ourselves today And feel quite confident we shall pass. In dramatic club and all the arts, In beauty and talent and brawn and brain We fearlessly take the leading parts And look to the summits we hope to gain. The world is in quite a mess, 'tis true We don't know just how it got that Way, But learning carefully what to do We hope to straighten it out some day.

SOPHOMORES Not only in quantity but also in quality has the class of '41 excelled. One of the largest Sophomore classes in the annals of Bryan Hi, these stu- dents have participated in many of the scholastic activities. Many foot- ball, basketball, and track athletes came from this noble group. One of the managers was a Sophomore. Musical organizations such as band, chorus, and a cappella have also profited because of the enthusiasm of the class members. In this year's High School honor roll, the longest list is usually headed Sophomores,'i' thereby showing their ability. Also it is ably rep- resented in Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and other extra curricular activities. Since they are in the upper brackets of the underclassmen, these pupils have acquired a dutiful feeling of protection for their subordinates, the Freshmen. This aids them to feel much older and to teach them responsi- bility. The class of '41 hopes that it has given the Seniors a triumphant last year and wishes them success on the Road of Life. No Longer Lost and Found We're beginning to know our way aroundg We've been taken out of the lost and found. We're fully accepted Bryan High-ites now- We don't keep asking Why ? or How ? We think for ourselves as We've always wanted to, And don't need to be told just what to do. Later we'll look back on Sophomore days, And find them the best, in many ways.

VfLg !,?3'4 My !WVJf WM' Wflf FRESHMEN An examination of the records of the Freshman class of 1938 and 1939 showed that twenty-three of the ninety-three members of the class were new to the Bryan school this year. It was very interesting to glance back and follow the class from its initial stage to the present time. It was found that only ten of the thirty-four boys and girls who started in the first grade at Park School in 1930 are now Freshmen in Bryan High School. Twenty- three of the sixty boys and girls who started school in Lincoln are now Freshmen in our high school. ' The class would have been very small had it not received any new mem- bers and quite large had it not lost any. It is composed of eighth grade graduates of the Junior High School of Bryan and eighth grade graduates from the rural schools surrounding Bryan, together with such other stud- ents as have come to us through families who have selected Bryan as a suit- able and fitting place to establish a home. The Freshman class is well represented in the different school bodies and activities. It has given support to both the basketball and football teams, to the Dramatic Club and the A Cappella choir. Its students have tried to prove their loyalty by upholding the standards and ideals set by the upperclassmen and by taking the extra responsibilities that high school life has added. The Freshmen have much to work for. They must cooperate with those above them in helping to make the school advance and more essential to the life of every student. It has been said that not failure but low aim is crime. May the aim, to carry on the superb work of the upperclassmen, neither be low nor fail but bring higher achievements to the Bryan High School.

BEWILDERED BEGINNERS We were, perhaps, a bit afraid when we entered Bryan High: We Went our way, as freshmen do, some bashful, meek, or shy. We obediently did what we were told to do- Ours not to question why - And quickly obeyed the Seniors' commands, with many an inward sigh. But we knew we'd have our chance, our turn would come by and by 3 Now we've passed our Freshmen troubles, with colors flying high. We've three more years of studying 5 three years to do or die, Three more years to give our best to good old Bryan High. FRESHMEN SNAPS lt takes a lot of oomph to pump an oompah.

ZETA-CCJRDIA STAFF At almost any time this year, Betty Phillips, editor-in-chief, might have been seen working industriously like this with her assistant editors, Mary Roe, Mildred McKarns, and Eugenia Critchiield. While Betty was busy spending money, Junior Biery, business-manager, wrote checks and worried about making ends meet. It was up to Marvin Scott, promotor, and his assistant, Robert Hanna, to overcome the financial problems by producing a successful carnival. Here they may be seen taking a little rest while playing with a dolly's tea-set to be given away at the carnival. Jim Lewis also appears to be living in his second childhood, however, he and Harold Shankster were really the electricians, and were instrumental in making the Minstrel Show and the dances effective. Patricia Walter, with that far-away look in her eyes was doubtlessly thinking about her diary which she faithfully kept throughout the year. A number of students were asked to remain after school so that they could be photographed by Mr. Robrock and Howard Davis, who spent much time figuring out original poses and fussing with flashlights. It is interesting to note that they took their own pictures for the above group by standing in front of a mirror. Roma Brubaker, Betty Winegardner, and Doris Luke spent most of their time typing assignments which other members of the staff had written. Last but not least, our distinguished artist, Eddie Carter, cooperated by drawing many plans for the cover design and the ex-libris. The various write-ups and work at candy stands and dances were divided among the whole staff. uwits YEA TEAM! i'l'ilNll,ill'l?

To prove that there is cooperation among the members of the Staff, Bob Hanna helps Betty Winegardner get a drink by blowing the water in her face, while Mary Roe hesitates between looking disgusted and laugh- ing. Pat Walter and Doris Luke smile coyly at the photographer, while Lolly Benner gazes longingly at a Hershy bar and Fran Gardner tries un- obtrusively to acquire a free sample. This year was one of experiments for the Hi-Life. Perhaps the least popular of these was the attempt to eliminate scandal from the paper. This policy was followed for six months, but was partially abandoned in the first March issue. Many different sizes were tried for the Hi-Life, the form having been changed from the familiar half-magazine-half-newspaper to strictly news- paper style. The first issue was found to be too large and clumsy and was replaced by a smaller, eight paged paper. Because many of the students complained that news in the monthly paper was stale, the Hi-Life Staff next decided to issue a four-page pub- lication every two weeks. One important development in regard to the school paper this year was the taking over of a large part of the work by the journalism class. It is Mr. Hauger's hope that within the next year or two all work on the paper will be done by this department.

Scales The Student Council, composed of six Seniors, three Juniors, three Sophomores, and two Freshmen, are elected by the students of their respec- tive classes. The council this year as usual arranged the annual class elec- tionsg conducted school dancesg sold candy at the basketball and football games: and planned assembly programs. Those of us who had the inside dope gave thanks for the new county jail, because it seemed for a time that our esteemed governing body might find themselves behind barsg and it really would have been unfortunate if they had been forced to endanger their lives in the old condemned jail. This was all caused by a mixup over the state sales tax on candy and so forth, which was sold by the school. Through an error, our money was sent in late. Nevertheless, all joking aside, there is not a student in school who does not aspire to an office on this most important of school organizations. Above, they are in an argu- ment of some description.

Hanger The Dramatic Club showed improvement over last year in the number of meetings held and in the accomplishments gained. An objective of three one-act plays to be given and directed by members of the club was set at the beginning of the year. These plays were enjoyed by the Mask and San- dal and were available to the school and town for entertainment purposes. The annual three-act play, Jonesy, was received with unusual acclaim and financial success. Students of Bryan High School are grateful to the Dramatic Club for the money it has earned and spent for improvements on the auditorium stage. THE CHORUS Bryan High School this year had the largest chorus in the history of the present Director of Music. Since rehearsals were held in the auditor- ium, a larger group could be accommodatedg and 100 people took advantage of the opportunity to sing the high type of music that Mr. Capen offers his groups of musicians. The main event of the year was the Christmas Concert given on Dec- ember twenty second before an audience of about six hundred interested people. The general opinion was that the performance was superior to all previous concerts. This high praise was adequate remuneration for the hundreds of hours of rehearsing. A CAPPELLA Sometimes rigid discipline is very difficult to take. Sometimes indi- vidual rights seem far more important than the privileges of the group. Sometimes the goal seems too far OH to be attainable. All of these prob- lems confronted the A Cappella choir at the beginning of the year. At times perfection is discipline, in group spirit, in correct singing, in artistic interpretation-all these seemed too impossible. But the director and some loyal, serious members of the choir believed that these qualities had to be and could be developed. Now everyone knows they have been accomplished in a marked degree and everyone believes that it was a worth while climb. The high spot of the year was the Northwestern Ohio Music Festival held in Bryan, February ninth, under the auspices of the A Cappella choir. Bowling Green, Fostoria, Defiance and Ft. Wayne North Side high schools cooperated in the project. Under the superb direction of Max Krone, chor- al director at Northwestern University, every student and every listener was stimulated and thrilled by the musical contrasts Mr. Krone was able to draw from the huge chorus of two hundred and fifty voices. THE BAND Under the sweltering sun in the month of August, the band garbed in full regalia helped put over the finest Horse Show Bryan has sponsored. Soon after, when school had barely started, the band appeared with five other bands in an instrumental festival at the county fair. Even under ad- verse conditions the Bryan organization appeared to fine advantage and won the approval of the large audience in the grand stand. That same night, the band members assembled again to put on their first show at the football field. Needless to say, later performances excelled the brilliance of the first because of daily military discipline and intensive drill on formations. Each week the band improved until the fans were proud to acknowledge that the Bryan Band could vie with the best in ap- pearance, formations, and musical execution. The next project of the band was a concert given the first part of May. Most of the members agreed that concert music was a grateful relief from the continual stream of marches of the football season: conse- quently the players practiced many hours to perfect their technique. This was the first year that letters were awarded to those faithful members who had played four consecutive years in the school band. Those who are proud owners of the musical emblem are: Howard Davis, Stanley Kerr, Junior Biery, William Weaver, Carl Long, Darrell Everhart, Richard Amsbaugh, Marvin Scott, Lawrence Smith, Betty Greek, John Lichty, Robert Kunkle, Robert Hanna, Bill Par- tee, Ray DeGrofi', James Lewis, Arnold Robb. REMINISCING It all started when they opened the airport on North Main street in 1923. A bunch of us got together and played for a dance in the hangar. Pierce Elsasser was there with his bassoong Doc. Laverty played the oboe. Several other courageous musicians assisted us with the five or six orches- trations which we played over and over. By midnight we had mastered them fairly well. For several years we met in informal groups and played for local par- ties, pep sessions, and basketball games. In Zeta-Cordia we read The or- chestra brayed with gusto and The outstanding feature of the evening was the orchestra. They knew at least three pieces, and used all three. I remember that Dick Myers played the clarinet and Paul Edwards led with his violin. In 1926 we organized as Eastwood Gardens Orchestra although we were still called The Jazz Hounds by most of the pupils. Carl and Her- man Svoboda played traps, and Herman also did dance specialties. Jack Clinger strummed a tenor banjo and added a touch of personality. Donald Davis, Junior High teacher, played E fiat sax and clarinet. We had weekly engagements at Nettle Lake, Archbold, Stryker, and at Bridgewater. With Bill Lamont on bass and a Youngstown boy on trum- pet, we contracted for a fourteen weeks engagement at Clear Lake. We played the full summer engagement with our six piece outfit, and also play- ed a few extra engagements. From this time on, the orchestra became more and more a school or- ganization. Since Eastwood Gardens the band has been known as The Crescent Syncopatorsj' The Rhythm Kings, Ohio Vagabondsf' and fin- ally as the Royal Cavaliers. We have played for many school dances, school plays, and community affairs. For several years we were directed by Dale Howey who later or- ganized his own group. We often practiced in the various homes-Burns', Bowen's, Howey's, Aumend's, Robrock's and Shook's. These practice ses- sions would begin early and last until nearly midnight. During the period of time thru which these orchestras struggled, pop- ular music changed in type as well as in favor with the people. We have experienced the advent of swing. Sweet tunes have become hot. Swing has become welcome in the best of musical society. Orchestra work is stimulated by the pleasure of playing and by the ap- preciation of the community. In order to have a good band, a spirit of en- thusiasm must prevail. I believe some of our bands were rated as being quite good. We have purchased several sets of racks with lights, many or- chestrations, and a good sound amplifying outfit. Certain conditions have brought about a suspension of activities. We believe that all the fellows who participated in the orchestra during these years have obtained some benefits and a great deal of fun. In checking over the membership of our various orchestras, we find, in addition to those already mentioned, the following names: Denver Burns. Clark Aumend, Rex Aumend, Kenny Bowen, Ralph Scott, Forrest Castor, Stick Walton, Kenny Long, Kenny Sines, Wallace Zimmerman, Harland Sprow, Howard Lawrence, Dale Hallock, Max Shook, John Stine, Max Christman, Arnold Mignery, Chuck Buehrer, Tony Mig- nery, Ted Spangler, Chuck Kelble. Bernard Mick, Howard Davis, Ford Cul- lis, Bob Dierks, Don Wiles, Jim Lewis. Bob Everhart. Bob Zwayer, Chuck Dierks, Stan Kerr, Dick Eager, Dick Ginter, Mardelle Fisher, and Fred Scott, Manager.

At the end of the first semester Mr. House left us to teach in Colum- bus. That he was tremendously well-liked was proved by the fact that even Jack Brace got up at nine o'clock one Saturday morning in order to make our bake-sale a success so we could buy our advisor a brief case. His place was filled by Mrs. Mallory, our former advisor. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA President ................ .......... D onna Moog Vice President .......,.., . ............

To train girls to be satisfactory life-rrrates the Future Homemakers of America was organized. In our school this organization, under the able supervision of Miss Bowland, is very much enjoyed by the students qualified to belong. This year the FHA has tried to combine educational and entertain- ment features. For example, a taffy pull was held with probably less dis- aster than most of us experience and did a great deal to enlighten the girls on a method to spend enjoyable evenings at home with a crowd. Another instructive evening was spent with Miss Zimmerman holding our interest by a general review of books. The FFA joined us in Bingo and skating parties, also in square dances. The girls cooperated with the latter organization in producing a playlet on manners at the Farmer's Institute. Looking back on the events of the year, it is our sincere wish that the future members of the FHA shall have as enjoyable a year as we have had.

The Chapter has participated in many worthwhile activities this year. The boys exhibited their projects and erected a booth at the county fair. In December, a busy month, the organization sponsored its annual Parent and Son Banquet, sent a team to the District Basketball Tourna- ment and a representative to the Public Speaking Contest at Wauseon and entered the county-wide pest hunt. The club, cooperating with the F. H. A., had charge of the program for one session of the Farmers Institute. As usual, the Chapter is planning to send a judging team to Columbus in June to participate in the state judging contest at Ohio State University. CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES IN OHIO QF..-im the afo.ac..f of wana... Mums For 150 years, we as a state and a na- tion have been dissipating our natural re- sources. Valuable timber has been cut over and burned with little regard for the fu- ture. Much of our productive top-soil has been wasted through poor land manage- ment. Disastrous floods and a shortage of soil moisture have been other results of im- proper land use. The marked decrease in our wildlife supply has paralleled the dis- appearance of natural food and cover. This failure to conserve our priceless heritage has become the concern of every thought- ful Future Farmer. About a year ago the F. F. A. chapters in Williams County, Ohio, outlined a defi- nite conservation program with the help of Jack Sun, the local game management agent. It was designed to illustrate the value of a balanced conservation program including the management of soil, water, timber and wildlife of our local farms. Williams County is located in northwest- ern Ohio and since our land is relatively level, soil terracing and contour farming are not necessary. Instead we Future Farmers are giving preference to soil build- ing and conserving crops rather than soil depleting crops. As a result the legume acreage on our farms is on the increase. Floods are not a serious problem in this section of the state, but the maintenance of sufficient moisture for plant growth is recognized as a necessity. Building up the supply of organic matter in the soil through the use of cover crops and manure has in- creased its water holding capacity. Our land in northwestern Ohio is inten- sively cultivated and considered too valu- able, by many, for the growing of timber. However, the value of a well managed and ungrazed farm woodlot is appreciated. This is shown by the fact that 10,000 trees have been ordered by the members of the Bryan chapter. Other chapters in Williams County have also placed large orders for trees. The increase in the local wildlife popula- tion has been one of the main objectives in our county conservation program. Most of us enjoy having wildlife on our farms and some of us like to hunt. All of us recog- nize the assistance of many wild birds in our never-ending battle with insect pests. We once thought that hunting was largely responsible for the decrease in wildlife. The real cause has been the disappearance of suitable wildlife environment. VVhile working with our local game man- agement agent we have learned that wild. life is a crop that can be produced on most of our Williams County farms. The invest- ment of time and money is small and there is little or no conflict with our regular farm crops. After realizing this, the F. F. A. chapters and the county conservation lea- gue outlined a game management program. This included feed, cover and protection. To supply additional feed a number of game food patches were planted. These contained corn, kaffir corn, sunflowers, soy- beans and sudan grass, which were allowed to mature and remain standing through the winter. Feed was also provided in feeding stations when snow covered the normal food supply. To provide cover, thousands of small trees have been ordered by local Future Farmers. These will be planted on small areas subject to soil erosion. For tempor- ary cover many brush shelters have been provided. To give protection to game during the hunting season, 39 small wildlife safety zones have been established in Williams County. These were posted with Ohio Div- ision of Conservation signs and closed to all hunting for three years. F. F. A. members have also assisted in predator control through a well organized pest hunt between the chapters in the coun- ty. The Montpelier chapter has taken the lead in this respect. The Future Farmers of Williams County are not alone in their efforts to carry on conservation work. One hundred and four other chapters in Ohio are engaged in some form of planned conservation activity. Out- standing work has been done by the Hills- boro chapter of Highland County in south- ern Ohio. This chapter has established three game propagation areas on which feeding stations were built and food patch- es planted. In the spring trees, shrubs and vines will be planted to supply natural food and cover. The Marietta Future Farmers have cen- tered their activities on another phase of conservation. This chapter is located in southeastern Ohio where soil erosion is a serious problem. Thirty-one members have planted 25,000 trees during the past year. Other members have practiced contour farming, terracing, strip cropping, gully control and pasture improvement. I have tried in these few minutes to tell you how we have attempted to be of ser- vice through conservation work. However, we realize that we have merely scratched the surface. We have over 300 F. F. A. chapters in Ohio with nearly 10,000 mem- bers. Most of us will be engaged in farm- ing in a few years and will be in a splen- did position to enlarge our conservation ac- tivity. It is our hope and ambition that our efforts in conservation will help to make rural America a better place in which to live. May this continue to be a part of the program of the Future Farmers of Am- erica. President ...,.,,........,.. . .... , ,.....,.., M ary Louise Butler Vice President ,.,....... .....,..

Miss Pringle Town Advisors Mrs. Cullis, Mrs. Tolman, Mrs. Ginther Of course it rained on the night of the G. R.-Hi-Y hunt, but Miss Prin- gle braved the elements with us in spite of the fact that she knew she would not be able to talk above a whisper the next day. Although only a handful of boys successfully hid on the roof of Stroeh's meat market, they turned out full force when the girls treated them to a theater party. Whenever the Bryan girls attended meetings in other towns, they were embarrassed by not being able to join in the nationally famous G. R. songsg so this year many copies were printed and learned. Among the impressive parts of the year's program were a campfire meeting and the candle-light initiation ceremony followed by a tea for the mothers. Our club was also hostess to the annual Triangular conference early in the fall. Several joint meetings with the Hi-Y included a bingo and a sledding party, but perhaps the most interesting Wednesday night was spent with Mrs. Mayberry who talked on the values of advertising. The precious few girls with minute appetites en- joyed the noon luncheon in January and the Mother-and-Daughter banquet in May. The Senior breakfast wound up the activities with the election of new officers. As a Senior, I ask you underclass members if you honestly feel that G. R. has meant anything to you. Has it been the inspiration and guidance which it promised? Has it helped others? You can make it what it ought to be. 'XIITI IIIIII' X.x ':f:Q:2:f:g:f:f.'

The club inaugurated a program committee whose sole duty was to plan the pro- grams and conduct them. The Hi-Y again defeated the Girl Reserves in the annual G. R.-Hi-Y hunt. Speakers during the year included Miss Amstutz, Miss Zimmerman, Paul Van Gundy, Paul Krone, Dr. Solier, Jack Sun and Dr. Schwartzbek. Several joint meetings with the Girl Reserves were planned. These included a box social which has become quite popular with the two organi- zations in the last two years. At the end of the first semester the old Hi-Y constitution was revised and enforced more carefully. To please civic-minded members, a municipal tour was carried out, and for those socially inclined a skating party was arranged. Conservation ad- dicts Were appeased by a talk by Jack Sun, State Game Conservation Offi- cer in this district. The religious program was well rounded out by a Bible study, church service, and morning service. Those members who cherish a distinct appreciation for the culinary art took a great pride and joy in the annual steak roast. The enrollment in the Hi-Y this year was forty-two, one of the high- est in its history. A special induction had to be held at the end of the first semester to take in more members. !iij!'QLf2.Q Q 2 126,12 'I - g35'ii:?fUv,,fQ2'f . ,AZXIQLU QQ! 13A'-QUXXGT-in!

Although he takes a great am- o u n t o f kidding from all sides and is very sensitive about his lack of hair, the fellows highly respect his two hundred for- ty pounds when it comes to a showdown. Seemingly, our proud athletes realize that this burly fellow has to support a wife and two year old daughter ltough luck, coachie, but no doubt she'll be an ardent fanl 3 and so they pitched right in and brought home the bacon. The fact that Mr. Taylor was a true athlete himself adds greatly to his popu- larity. Following is a table of his high school and college record. Notice particu- larly his being captain of the college foot- ball, basketball, and baseball teams in his Junior year.

Mr. Geer is our assist- ant coach. He also teaches several sub- jects and constantly has games to referee. From these various contests, Pop says he makes enough mon- ey to pay for his extra schooling which he is taking at the present time. Although it seems to us that Mr. Geer has little leisure time, it is characteristic for him to be active. When in school he was very ambitious and earned letters in the following events: Wazzscon High School Baseball 4 Basketball 3 Football 2 Track 2 Debate 1 Defiance College Baseball 4 Basketball 4 Football 3 Mr. Geer especially wishes everyone to recognize the debate letter which he earned when he was a Senior in High School. FCOTBALL SQUAD OF 1938-39 Future students of this fair school will be able to look back and recog- nize the 1938 football season as one of the best, if not The Best, in the history of the school. Before the season started prospects of a good team seemed bright. There were several Juniors and Seniors on the squad who had played to- gether since Junior High School, and who had received varsity experience during the past seasons. Then there was a bustling 240 pound, well-built man who was a new- comer in Bryan. The fellows commonly referred to him as coach and im- mediately took a great liking to him. Although he maintained discipline, Mr. Taylor practiced with his squad, pointing out faults here and there, and teaching them an offense with which they were not familiar. This style of play required a fast charging line and clever ball handling in the backfield. Credit must be giv- en to the new coach for the showing which was made by his team. The Golden Bears swept through a tough 10 game schedule in remark- able style. It was probably the hardest 10 game card the Bryan eleven has ever played. The first seven games were won: then came the disastrous game: Defiance beat Bryan and won the league title. However, the Golden Bears won their remaining games and finished the season by winning 9 out of 10 games. Records show that Bryan was one of the best offensive teams in the state and one player received honorable mention on the all state squad. BEFORE THE GAME It takes an army of boys to hoist the burlap fence around the field. Manager Eddie Davidson gives the job the final touch There is never any trouble getting boys from the eighth period study hall to work on preparations for the game. Bryan is more fortunate than some of the surrounding towns in the posses- sion of a readable scoreboard here demonstrated by Bob Snyder. Bob Bowman and Tom Mills seem to be having a lot of fun While lining the field. Walter Betts and Junior Spletzer look like real el- ectricians, but don't be surprised if the lights fail to work. Y .., . V . vv-wg.-w s -..f-V' - ' e ' ' ' ew' ' 'Q- For the seniors on the team this was the last game-at Napoleon on Thanksgiving Day This game was also played in the first bad weather of the season. Yes, that's snow on the ground. The players of both teams were nearly frozen when the game ended. Of course, we won. Why bother for a Write-up here ?-it's the Defiance game.

Center Bob started the season at guard and was soon shifted to center. His uncanny shooting and marvelous showing in the pivot position earned him a place on the league team. Bob's temper was his handicap, and the ef- fort made by him to overcome this was shown by the results in the latter part of the season. Good work, Bob! LETTERMEN No. 28-BOB HANNA Senior Left Forward Bob was one of the two seniors on the first five. After playing a guard position in Junior High and his first three years in high school, Bob was shifted to left forward this year and made good. He was chosen on the all league team, and he took Dill- man's place as captain when the lat- ter left the game. No. 27-BILL PARTEE Senior Substitute Center Bill's value to the team was some- thing of which to be proud. If one of the first five went out on fouls, Bill usually received first call. His coolness and ability under fire helped win several games. No. 25-STAN KERR Senior Stanley, although he didn't get to play much, helped keep the team in fine spirits. His chatter from the bench helped immensely, and his cool defensive and offensive playing could be depended upon whenever he had to enter a game. Right Guard IN ACTION No. 20-DICK DE GROFF Junior Right Forward Dick got off to slow start this year, but made up for it by his showing in later games. Dick's speed and clev- erness in handling the ball forced op- ponents to respect him at all times. He can shoot with either his right or left loand, and his ability with the one-handed shot helped to gain a win- ning margin when the pressure was Hon. No. 26-JACK BRACE Junior Substitute Guard Ability to take rebounds off the backboard was one of Jack's assets. Time and again he would come out of a crowd of players with the ball. Jack's ability at making long shots helped keep the opponents' defense spread, thus giving our pivot men room in which to work under the bas- ket. He was chosen on the league team also. No '30-BOB BARNES Senior Barneys good nature and Willing- ness to work in practice was one of the factors which helped to build up a team spirit. His cheery words from the sidelines helped keep up this spirit. Although Bob didn't play much, his value to the team was not forgotten by his teammates. No. 24-BOB DILLMAN Smzior Loft Guard-Captain His ability to analyze a situation and call time-outs at the proper time enabled the rest of the team to place their confidence in their captain. This fact alone is probably the big- gest in explaining the fact that throughout the whole season there was no discord among the team. Bob's defensive game was his best, although he was a dangerous man to leave open. Bob's generalship will be missed. STATE TOURNAMENT SHOTS The top picture was taken when our team played Akron Garfield in Columbus. Kelosky, number 66, is shown shooting, with Brace, Bryan guard, watching from the end of the floor. Another Bryan player can be seen under the basket by looking between Kelosky's legs. Another picture from the tournament in Columbus shows Hanna, B. H. S. forward, making a free throw while opposing players wait for a re- bound under the basket. Notice number 99, Akron Garfield's Beban, who was chosen on the all-state team. CJUINTET CHAMPS EX W Meow sf Qui . ef This photograph of the starting five appeared in several papers throughout Northwestern Ohio. The players seem to be in a happy mood, but we wonder what happened to De Groff's and Hanna's teeth? These five were the spearhead of the attack, and part of their reward is shown by the white uniforms which they had on when this picture was taken. The players received these just before their last regular season game, and it was as much a surprise to the team as it was to the crowd who saw them come on the floor that night. A The reserve team is to be complimented, also, upon the fine record which it compiled this year. These players won 18 straight games without a loss for the best record any B. H. S. team has ever had. The fact that the whole team was composed of Sophomores and Juniors is indeed en- couraging and should leave the fans of the court wars expecting some good basketball for the next two or three years. 5 , 1 , 1 Q 1 fi-V' v x :PJ f 1 I Here are three well-known faces to the followers of Bryan High School's athletic teams. Yes, these are our cheer leaders,. Whenever the spirit seemed to be sagging, a peppy cheer, led by these students, kept everyone feeling good. REVIEWING In the year books for future years there will be write-ups of other basketball seasons, and although we sincerely hope the writers of those articles will have as much enjoyment as we have out of writing them, we realize that it Will be very hard for the Golden Bears of the future to attain a record that will equal or better the one established by the '38-'39 squad. There are those who have followed Bryan's basketball team since the birth of the sport in our fair metropolis that say without a moment's hesitation that the team of the past season was the greatest in the history of the school. That is 'neither for us to affirm nor deny in this small space, but without a doubt the brand and style of ball played by our team this last year is something to be remembered and cherished for a long time by the students of Bryan High School. The quintet, having played together since junior high, was very well balanced. After defeating their first two opponents, the Bears lost their only game during the regular season to Mark Center. After that, the champs defeated each league school twice, Van Wert twice, Bowling Green and Milford, Illinois, once each, and went into tournament play with a string of fifteen straight victories and the impressive record of having won 17 out of 18. The tournament found Bryan playing their roughest ball games of the year. First, Van Wert was beaten, for the third time in the seasong sec- ond, Bryan Won a hotly contested game with Napoleon, 24-25. This was the Scotts' third defeat of the season at the hands of the Bears. Then, in the finals, Bryan again met Defiance. The Bulldogs' only defeats had been THE SEASON the two caused by Bryan during the seasons play. After a fast start, Bryan soon slowed down and a Defiance rally fell just short as the game ended, giving Bryan the district championship to go with the league title they had won. Defiance isn't likely to forget those three defeats on their 21-game schedule, all at the hands of the Bears. Below are some photographs of several of the regular season games. In the upper left-hand corner are two pictures of the Bryan-Wauseon game played at Bryan. The first shows Bob Hanna, number 11, making a field goal as Robinett waits underneath the basket. De Groff, number 6, is shown making good on a one-handed shot from the side as Hanna waits for a rebound. Next in the upper row is a photo of the Van Wert game. Hanna and Dillman are playing the backboard for a rebound of No. 13's attempt for a fielder. In the upper right-hand corner is an unusual pic- ture. Defiance had just shot and our town photographer snapped his cam- era just as the ball was going through the net. Robinett and Dillman are surrounded by opposing players. The lower left corner photo shows Rob- inett at the extreme left of the picture watching Hanna catch his own re- bound after making a two pointer. This is the Napoleon game. Following are two more snaps of the Defiance tilt. A jump ball was responsi- ble for the next picture in our little pictorial revue. Robinett, with Hanna just behind him, stands ready to take a rebound in the Napoleon game. The two portrayals following this show Dillman and Brace watching a shot from under the Defiance basket, and Robinett and Hanna at the start of the second half. Our final snapshot is a likeness of Robinett on his center jumps. . . Q , . X ,.,:.li'.... . . ' iff'- ' . THIN CLADS Upon leaving Bryan High at the end of the 1938 track season, Coach Ogden evidently took with him or misplaced all track records of the season last year. We can say, however, that last year's track team was characteristic of B. H. S. Well balanced in all events and led by their star miler, Wilbur Ackerman, the Golden Bears went through the season losing only one meet before district and state competition. Three or four new field records were made throughout the season, with Ackerman's 4 240.2 mile being the most outstanding. Incidentally, Ackerman, who was once our proud miler, is going to the University of Michigan this year. He established a new record in this event for freshmen at that institution with the mark of 4 minutes 28 and 4X 10 seconds. The world record for this event is held by Cunningham, the time being a little over 4 minutes and 3 seconds. The '39 season found only the remnants of a once powerful track team. There were several new men, and these, together with the veterans, had a determination to do their best. Although the Bears won their first meets, nothing much could be determined because of cold weather and the Weak competition. Above is a picture of some of this year's stars getting the kinks out of their legs. Norma certainly lost her head over something. These are watching this Sl ff Champion Volleyball Team When Bishop let go Middle weights with that right! VARIETY OF SPORTS FOR GIRLS An interesting variety of sports were available for the girls' gym clas- ses this year. They played baseball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and a large number of competitive games. Exercises, folk-dancing, and tap- dancing were also offered. In playing off a tie, the Juniors upset the Sen- iors to Win the inter-class volleyball contest. Mr. Scales remarked in assembly that someone had asked him why the only time the girls' basketball team appeared before the public was in con- nection with a donkey game? Well, it just happened that way, and the Juniors defeated the Seniors in a close game. PEPPING-UP THE TEAM Come on Bryan-1et's go! Our two cheer leaders, Isaac and Brubaker, seem to be trying to extract a yell from the fans. The cannon in the court yard provides a good place to perch during a pep session-at least the cheer leaders, Betty Winegardner and Peggy Zimmerman, think so. Ray De Groff is waiting for that cue to strike up the band. Bob Arnold fwith the trombonej is headed in the wrong direction-camera shy, Bob? This shows who the lusty fans are-the fair sex of Bryan Hi. There must be some attraction there that we can't see, but they can. Wiladene Mann gets the prize for the most engaging smile.

T MYSTERY MINSTRELS The crowd waited expectantly in the darkened auditorium. The cur- tains opened, but still there was no light. Suddenly various members of the audience blinked self-consciously as the bright light of theinterlocutor's flashlight played upon their faces. The stagelights came on, revealing the A Cappella and the Royal Cavaliers seated opposite each other. The second night this show was given displayed a decided improve- ment over the opening performance. For instance, Mary Schuck discover- ed that she didn't have time to change her dress in the first act, and the endmen could remember their lines better after a night's practice. The two detectives, called in to prevent the murder of the interlocutor, made a great hit Wearing derbies and mustaches, carrying shotguns, and talking in unison-they added much hilarity to the play. However, it was Jum Kunkle, who really stole the show and made the headlines in the local newspapers. His rendition of I Wants to Die From Eatin' Possum Pie, accompanied by some very original and colorful shaggin' and truckin', called for several encores. Since it was given on November 22 and 23, the minstrels ended with an election joke. The first night, Betty Winegardner admitted that she had tried to murder the interlocutor because he didn't vote for Clevenger. Be- ing a demlocrat, she found this difficult to say, so the second night she changed it to Kniffin. THE WITCHES FROLIC 4'What's this-a party with no music? Oh no, the music was played I-y the Reval Cavaliers, hidden in a corner ef the balcony above the gym. The first prize-winners in the masquerade were Mid McKarns and Hob llillinan, alias Minnie and Mickey Mouse. A dozen purple and gold foot- lnall dflls were given to the lzest dressed contestants. We understand that Mid was rather disappointed that hers wasn't number 44. The Annual Staff struggled with many dusty, unwieldy cornshocks and ludicrous jack-o-lanterns besides performing a major operation on Jim, t'e skeleton. If one had looked closely, he might have discovered that the hideous black hat in the center was only a sink strainer at heart. A FUN FOR UPPERCLASSMEN This year the customary initiating at Freshman Reception was aban- doned for Freshman Day. Ordinary hazing of Freshmen was done away with at the reception because it was decided that it should be something pleasant to be remembered. On this particular day upperclassmen were allowed to put Freshmen in disgrace. School was dismissed early for con- tests between the Sophomores and Freshmen held on the football field. Con- tests for boys and girls were held so that each could help defend his class. Mr. Geer, the referee, found himself quite busy seeing that the rules were followed in such games as tug-o-war and a sack game. For a time it seemed as if the Freshmen were going to wing but as soon as this happened the Sophomore teams were reenforced by some of their class who had vow- ed not to enter the scramble. This balanced the sides better, and soon the Sophomores' strength overpowered that of the Freshmen, thus leaving the ninth grade still the underdog.

Expressing Beauty Through the Fingers Much interest has been taken in regard to the art class, which has been made a subject in Bryan High School this year for the first time since it was dropped more than fifteen years ago. Art will now be accepted as a regular non-academic course which is open to any student who wishes to take it. The class of this year has shown much co-operation with its very capable teacher, Miss Amstutz. Miss Amstutz attended school at Bluffton College and Ohio State University, where she majored in art. She is also teaching English I and II and is very well liked by the entire student body. Next year a second year course in art will be given for those students who are taking it now and want to go on studying in a more advanced field. The class as a whole turned out very well. and a few students are go- ing on to art college, where they will try to make it their life work. The practical use of this class in the high school must not be over- looked. When the Dramatic Club and the senior plays were gii en, strik- ing, colorful posters were made by art students for advertising purposes. No doubt these posters upped the ticket sales considerably. Girl Reserve yearly and Mother-and-Daughter banquet programs were also made by this class. The entire class also wishes to thank the students who have shown their co-operation by posing for portrait and life drawing. Although comparatively few students took art this year, we wish to extend our best wishes to their future and also to the art class, Which, we know, will prove to be very valuable in both the present and the future.
