We'll Never Forget THE SPANISH FIESTA- What fun-watching that bull-fight and the Spanish dances that the girls dis- played. The Conga certainly was a hit that night. The gym floor was decorated to resemble old Spain. THOSE CLOSE BASKETBALL GAMES We lost three games by one point and one game by two points. It's a good thing that we aren't coming back next year or we would all die of heart failure. VARSITY NIGHT when six skits were presented by the various clubs in a contest for a sixteen-inch trophy. The Senior Class won this trophy for their humorous and original inter- pretation of The Highway Man. Miss Rosemary Haala was selected Queen of the Hi-Y on this occasion. The boys, headed by Kenneth Landes, sponsored a dance afterwards giving half of the proceeds to the Red Cross. Varsity night was introduced to the school through the efforts of the Senior Hi-Y. THE GOLD DIGGERS PROM- sponsored by the G. A. A. Hank Spurlock was chosen to reign as King by those who attended. The theme of the prom was patriotic. The boys came adorned with corsages of all types, vegetables, cactus, kitchen utensils, baby toys, etc. SPRING VACATION ' when we had a nice snow storm instead of the usual sunny weather. We surely do have the luck, don't we, kids? THOSE SPEECH CLASS PLAYS I presented by the speech classes and directed by Katherine Meck. They were In a House Like This and Nathan Hale. THE BAND FESTIVAL- which was held in Bucyrus this year. All of the neighboring cities brought their bands to Bucyrus to participate in the festival. THE JUNIOR SENIOR RECEPTION - This is the annual affair that everybody looks forward to all year. The usual ban- quet was substituted this year by a light lunch because of the general world-wide situation, but the rest of the affair remained the same. After working hard on the reception last year, the seniors certainly did appreciate the work of the juniors for their benefit this year. THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY- Death Takes a Holiday. The cast which was chosen by Mrs. Breisinger, director of the play, was as follows: Grazia, Hertha Stevenson, Prince Sirka, Robert Anguish, Duke Lambert, Norman Spurlock, Corrado, Nolan Carson, Eric, Walter Parsel, Ada Marjorie Widman, Rhoda, Marjorie Eaton, Baron Cesarea, Alfred Englehard, Princess, Carol Hess, Stephanie, Barbara Brooks, Major Whitread, James Kennedy, Cora, Ruth Kronenberger, Pedele, Robert Gardner. COMMENCEMENT DAY - June 4, when the seniors proceeded into the world and a new class moved into Senior High School. Imagine the relief of the teachers! -27-

We'll Never Forget SEPTEMBER 3 - It was the tirst day of school. Weren't we glad to leave our summer vacation and come back to see all ot our old friends again? We got into harness and settled down immediately and those teachers didn't have to scold us a bit! THOSE MUDDY FOOTBALL GAMES- Was there anything to compare with it? Faithfully we cheered on the football boys as they fought tor victory in each game. In all kinds ot weather the team, coaches, managers, band, cheerleaders, and spectators were doing their best. Didn't the cheerleaders have some novel yells? HOMECOMING - THE AIRPLANE When the band put on a clever exhibition by forming an airplane with colored lights on their caps to bring the Homecoming Queen, Marjorie Eaton, and her at- tendants, Joyce Spaid and Lois Ann Rockwell onto the field. Nolan Carson, presi- dent of the Senior Class escorted the queen and her attendants to their seats. CRACK-UP - that Fred Keller had. Everyone at school was startled to hear the bad news that one of the promiment members of our Senior Class had been in an accident. Fred was able to anchor himself alright, but the plane was a total wreck. He was very calm about it, wasn't he? He must have been born under a lucky star. THE GIRL RESERVE SWEETHEART BANOUET- RUBINOFF - when the Girl Reserves entertained their boy friends. Under the leadership of Lois Rockwell, the girls planned a unique Chinese setting. with his interpretation of Oh Johnny, and the thrill it was to hear him play the beautiful strains of Intermezzo. With stirring enthusiasm, he directed our band and praised their work. We wish to thank him for the sincere words he expressed on the radio that night. WHEN THE NAVY- took Donald Beer under its wing. We lost a faithful member of our class in the fall when Donald telt that his services were needed elsewhere and he joined the Navy. THE ANNUAL CORN SHOW- when Hertha Stevenson was again elected as a queen to represent the Bucyrus High School. She made such a lovely May Queen at last year's May festivities. CHRISTMAS VACATION - and how it flew by so fast that we hardly had time to catch our breath. The basket- ball team played the alumni during vacation and won in an overtime game 37-31. OUR SPECIAL ASSEMBLIES- Everyone enjoyed the voices of the Boys' Choir from Columbus. These boys were all under twelve years of age and they surprised us greatly at their remarkable talent. The Ohio Wesleyan octet also gave a splendid performance. Although not entirely musical the assembly about the Indians, and the minister who lived in Africa were excellently prepared and held the students' attention. There were many others which are too numerous to mention. THE HI-Y BARN DANCE- -26- when everyone came rigged up in overalls, slacks or gingham dresses. It was held at the Y. M. C. A.
