S. on June 7. The Class of '18 is one of the largest in the history of the school. -E' -!' 'Z- This .Xnnual is the only publication telling of the achievements of F. ll. sl for the present school year. Therefore it should be preserved by all with the greatest care. The Class of.'l8 was one of the leading factors in the success of the Blue and Cold Weekly last year. but -conditions this year would not permit its repetition. Owing to the faithfulness of the staff, including Miss Gibson and Mr. lfinton, this is the biggest, and certainly one of the best Annuals ever published in F. ll. S. The credit' for this successful school year is largely due to our new superintendent, Mr. 1. F. Mattison, Mr, lfmton, the principal, and to the other members of the faculty. lt has surely been unfortunate that the Lincoln and Vtlashington Freshmen could not be with the upper classes in the Central ll. S. This Annual series to bind the schools more closely together. Three of our teachers. Mr. XVertht-ini, Mr. Meyers and Mr. Skidmore, have left dttring this school year to do their might with l'ncle Sam in the war for democracy. All three are .missed very much by their former pupils. ln my estimation nothing could be written to pay them higher tribute. 'X-'I'-X' Patriotism has reigned through the entire school system in Findlay this year. The four classes of lf. ll. S, have purchased live Liberty lionds this year. .Ks far as we can secure information, Iiind- lay lligh started bond buying in the lligh Schools of the United States. Follow the example set by the future citizens of our country and buy a bond. XVhcn the lied Cross presented the Junior movement to the pupils, they arose as one and every lligh School student is a member of the Junior Red Cross. A fine illustration of what is called school spirit. .Nlso a high standard for the person who has not stepped from the ranks of the slackers and 'oinetl the Red Cross. l .l Thrift Stamps? Certainly. After good Asales by each school, the students were spurred on by foursminute speeches. The speakers deserve high credit for their patriotic spirit. Findlay lligh School students and graduates will make a name for the country in the purchase of stamps this summer. -Z' -X' -X' l'pon -the first. page of this book are the.picturcs of three young men, all former F. ll. S. men, who have given their lives that democracy might hve. Sergeant Rice M. Hell died at Camp Sherman after a very brief sickness. Lieutenant Myles K. Qelwicks, of the U. S. Aviation Corps, lost his life when his plane fell dur- ing a trial rlight at lxelley Field, Texas. , Gregg Cehring was one of the victims of the Tuscania. t - All. three boys were well liked by their classmates and the entire student body and faculty ex- press their sorrow and deep sympathy to the parents of these gallant youths. 'I' 'X'-X' lfour fellows who really belong to our class are in service. Theodore A. Lawrence, commonly known as Ted, is in the navy, lle is aboard the l'. S. S. Standard Arrow, and has crossed and recrossed the ocean several times. Wayne Smith is a member of the Great Lakes Naval Training School, llerman Gibson is with the former Ohio National Guard at Camp Sheridan. NValter L. Doetry is at Fort Meyer. Va., just across the river from yVashington, D. C. Doerty is in the Quartermas- ter's Corps. Our best wishes go along with these fellows, our former teachers and alumni in the service, and we surely are proud of them. 'X' 'Z' 'X- l,isteu, juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, if you don't have a diploma from F. H. S. you'll wish you did have, so dou't give up the ship. Your country needs the best you have in you. and besides, you owe it to yourself.

THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Twelve DEBATING TEAM Laurance Staples '18, .X new form of school activity has been organized this year. This is the High School Debating Team. A week or so preceding Christmas Mr. Finton received a letter from Fostoria High School challenging old F. ll. S. to enter a debating league composed of Fostoria, Findlay and Hucyrus High Schools. Thus the Triangle Debating League was formed. After vacation was over candidates were called out and the following oHicers elected: Laurance Staples, President: Merle XYieger, Vice-Presidentg and Rachel Hart, Secretary and Treasurer. The candidates were told to prepare for a trying out debate on Government Owner- ship of Railroads. Rachel Hart, Blanche Updegraph, Clarence Fox, Laurance Staples, john McCarthy and Ruth Switzer qualitied for positions. The first three will compose the negative team, and the others the aHirm- ative. So far debates on the subject of Re- solved, That Present Laws Applying to European Immigration be Extended to 1Xsiatics, have been scheduled with the above mentioned schools. The Findlay af- firmative team will journey to Fostoria on the evening of May 10, while the negative remains at home to debate the affirmative team of liucyrus. The present status of the Findlay teams gives bright prospects of victory. Prof. Conn, the coach, shows great ability in directing the teams. Loan Your Money to the Government-Buy Liberty Loan Bonds
