That year our class was organized and we elected: President Paul Buskirk Vice President Max Moses Secretary Virginia Angus Treasurer Elsa Gottlieb At this time we selected green and white as our class colors. As our motto we chose Rowing, Not Drifting, which has been our aim throughout the three years of our work in Columbian High. That year three of our group placed in the state scholarship tests at Bowling Green. Rozanne Peters received ninth place in the district for Plane Geometry. Vera Comer received tenth place in the district for second-year Latin. Lester Rusoff re- ceived third place in the state and first place in the district for second-year Latin. Our final event of the year was the annual Sophomore Prom which was very successfully planned and carried out. And then we were juniors! One more step taken toward our goal! We started the year off by electing our class officers. President Russell Shade Vice President Ralph Sickles Secretary Helen Roe Treasurer Marian Ringle The most outstanding event in the basketball season was the game played be- tween the Junior boys and the faculty. With the money received from this game we entertained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Party. That year three of our group represented us at Bowling Green. Rozanne Peters received tenth place in the district for first year French. Lester Rusoh' received second place in the state and first place in the district for Modern European History. Among the commercial students Pauline Heck received ninth place in the state and hrst place in the district for stenography. The Dramatic Club completed its work for the year by presenting a three-act play entitled Second Childhood, in which a number in our class received leading roles. A Our junior Class also helped in making the operetta, An Old Spanish Custom, which was presented by the students of the Columbian High School, a big success. We are Seniors! We have reached our goal! As leaders we elected: President Ralph Sickles Vice President Reginald Cole Secretary Evelyn Miller Treasurer William Speck To manage the publication of the Blue and Gold, we chose Paul Buskirk, William Speck, Bob Engle, Ralph Bender, Rozanne Peters, Marian Ringle, Helen Roe, Dorothy Dull, jean Fullerton, Russel Shade, Alma Hoover, and Charles Keller. The advisors were Mrs. Ewing and Mr. Lutz. In debate, Lester Rusoff, Faith Lewis, Eugene Smith, Burton Goetz and James Zeis represented us. The Dramatic Club showed wonderful success throughout the year, including the annual dramatic club play. The main social events of the year were the Senior Party, which was held in january, and the junior-Senior Party, with which the juniors honor the Seniors in the spring. And nowA-Graduation! After having spent four happy years in our beloved school, we leave with much regret. We shall all be going our separate ways. But even so, we shall always remember our high school days and the thought left with us at our Baccalaureate service. And so, with much regret we say FAREWELL to dear old Columbian High forever. fEvelyn Miller

Our prestige was not disturbed as we freshies held full sway in the new Junior High School. Although we were not organized that year, we were excellently represented in the glee club, orchestra, and the high school band. We freshmen were very proud to announce that six in our group placed in the state scholarship tests that are held at Bowling Green in the spring of each year. Gene Alice Grimes placed first in the state and also in the district for first-year Latin. Vera Comer received honorable mention in the state and seventh place in the district for first-year Latin. Helen Roe received honorable mention in the state and sixth place in the district for first-year English. Rozanne Peters placed eighth in the district for first-year English. Lester Rusoff received honorable mention in the state and placed fifth in the district for Science. Herman Runion received honorable mention in the state and placed seventh in the district for first-year Algebra. Our last and most outstanding event of the year was the successfully presented operetta, Ask The Professor. Although three happy years were spent together in the Junior High School we knew the time had come for us to take the new places that were awaiting us as Sophomores in the new Columbian High. With great expectation we entered Columbian High the following fall. We proudly took our places among the other dignified pupils of the school. Although humbled by upper classmen we soon learned to love our new position and immedi- arely took part in the student activities open to us.
