We have been TFOj3HS,, fl!z'ad Whatever their task, they can be victorious, mused the Trojan as he watched the recessional of the class of '44. I have faith in their future because of the record of their past which I have seen enacted in the three years I have known them. Together we have done a lot of work and had a lot of fun. We began our high school career just as confusedly as all sophomore classes have since time immemorial. As we 'wondered' around the maze-like halls, we mentally drew up plans for a more logical building. We emerged from the fog long enough to elect Frankie Lyons president of the class-those of us who could find the auditorium. Acquaintance Night was held for our parents, who were enlightened about their offsprings' abilities by the pageant, 'We Hold These Truths' The football team won second' place in the Buckeye League and the basketball team did well. It became evident that the Sophomores would one day form a championship team. First-aid was inaugurated in the health classes. However, our health was not greatly improved by the course, nor our morale, for the girls were wearing slacks. Egad! The opening of the Hi-Hat provided a new source of gossip for the 'Teen Tattler' on the new local radio station WFIN. PEARL HARBOR C'So sorry'DAbrought defense stamps and bonds, scrap drives, air raid drills, increased activity of Red Cross and patriotic fervor to the school. The dramatic enterprises were especially successful in the production of the three one-act plays, the Iunior Play, 'The Sunshine Twins,' the Senior Play, 'Old Doc, several minor plays, and the operetta, 'The Red Mill.' In some of these we took party in all we found enjoyment. A About this time we began frantically to pursue the subject of the Pan-American essay, 'What Inter-American Cooperation Means to My Country.' After exhausting our limited supply of grey matter, we turned our wandering attention to the scholarship tests, in which we ranked high. An intensive campaign for tax stamps was rewarded by the purchase of the chime and echo unit for the organ. The prom in the beautifully decorated gym was a success, and the senior chapel, the baccalaureate and com- mencement tearfully came and went, while we patiently waited our turn in these glorious affairs. This year we lost two very faithful members of the faculty, Miss Kiefer, dean of girls, and Mr. Sanderson, music teacher and supervisor. Miss Kiefer had become a tradition of Findlay Senior High School, having served it for thirty-five years, and her resignation practically marked the passing of an era, In our junior Year we were old enough to know what was expected of us and young enough not to care. We didn't realize the full significance of being in our last years of high school, even though we were taking on more and more responsibilities. Heading the class were Ed Rooney, 'Red' Roether, and Dick Garbett. Our football team under the guidance of Coach Bachman, who ,A -., filled the vacancy left by 'Pinky' Wilson, came through with four wins, one tie, and I , four losses. The basketball team under Bachman was victorious as Buckeye League A champion. 'l 'Iune Mad,' the junior play, was a huge success. The play will be remembered for the startling appearance of 'Louie' in a red strapless. Tradition was defied by the production of a pageant, 'Free Men,' in which all , the schools of Findlay took part, rather than the usual operetta. 1 t . P -. W7 X x ff f A! Our students led a double life of scholar and patriot, for they were equally I N' active in winning awards in a national art contest, joining the Victory corps, taking X air raid warden courses, and being elected to the National Honor Society. Because of an inconvenient whim of the government, commonly known as Ll gas rationing, it was impossible to journey to 'Ye Faire Bowling Green' to take the district scholarship tests. However, the students seemed to thrive in the homey atmosphere of the cafeteria Cwhat's cookin'?D, for they ranked high in the state. The year and the students were finished by the grueling two-hour tests in each subject. Again the cafeteria was the scene of the slaughter. ' Baccalaureate, the Prom, and Commencement came and went in unusually fine style and a few of us sud- denly became aware that we were Seniors at last. This is the year of VICTORY! We at old F. H, S. have waged more than one fight and made more than one conquest .... Our Trojans have met the opponent and the battle is ours .... Our mental wizards have kept up Findlay's enviable reputation .... We've gone to town in athletics .... And for the final victory we've licked those two-hour exams. . . l This year started beautifully with a sudden plunge into schoolwork which gave us such a shock, we couldn't think for weeks .... For the first week everyone industriously lugged a stack of books home .... Then began the exciting and well-advertised contest for class officers, Those successful were: President, Iack Moore: Vice President, lack Thomas: Secretary, Dick Sink. Our homeroom officers have found that their jobs include some work at times: counting tax stamps, for instance .... The Student Council has been the proving ground for some really fine orators .... Twenty We have all cooperated to 'back the attack' .... We have bought several thousand dollars worth of war bonds. , . . We have brought in tons of paper for the drive and would even have been willing to sacrifice our textbooks for the good of the cause .... Most of us joined the Iunior Red Cross and a few of us have worked on the Red Cross Council which has carried through several important projects .... We have turned in our copies of the 'Blue and Gold' to be sent to our soldier alumni, who seem to have enjoyed fe- them tremendously .... C . 7 A What fun it was to walk out of class the day we all had our pictures taken. . . . af And when the pictures came, we spent the whole day trading them and laughing at those queer expressions the camera had caught .... There was the time Yehudi 5 'Q rang the firebell but we dutifully marched out anyway .... Even rationing had its 5 good points when it meant school was out sooner .... Every Friday morning for months, we were subjected to a blitz of spelling which downed most of us .... Oh, well, we still don't know how to spell 'toemain' .,.. What really cast a blight over our spirits was the Essay .... We heard so much about Latin America we haven't thought of it since .... If anyone had wanted a , definition of 'nightmare' we could have furnished it easily-a psychological test fits 1 the bill .... After filling in an inventory of 435 questions, many Seniors still haven't discovered their hidden talents .... Our Girl Reserves have initiated the McComb chapter of that organization .... The G. A. A. has taken charge of all girls athletics outside of gym classes. . . Together the Hi'Y and G. R. have sponsored a number of school dances .... The National Honor Society duly admitted a handful of new members into its midst with an impressive ceremony .... A large number of Seniors reaffirmed the scholastic standard of our school as shown by the results of the State Senior Scholarship Test .... One of our students won a high place in the nation-wide Science Talent Search, and another placed first in the state in the D. A.R. Good Citizenship Contest .... Many of us took the scholarship tests and surprised ourselves at the results. All of us breathed easier when our homeroom's chapel was over and we could sit back and enjoy the rest. . . . Most Chapels were based on a patriotic theme .... Many potential public speakers expounded their self-written speeches to our attentive ears .... ln addition to seeing several movies, we heard many interesting speakers on a wide variety of topics-Argentina, singing, Mexico and the new volcano, the art of writing, weather, and West Africa .... We haven't confined our activities to school hours .... There was the evening we held our breath while Mom and Dad had a nice C?j little chat with Teacher .... And the Hobo party in the gym when all the gals at the Mixer were certain of their futures after waiting for hours at Madam Knowallski's booth .... Another evening the Thespians entertained us with three super plays which afforded plenty of variety .... The Iunior Class play 'Lena Rivers' carried us back to the 'Gay Nineties' for three interesting hours .... The Senior play had more than its share of fun and suspense .... We enjoyed all three hours of the vocal Eisteddfod and were awfully glad we didn't have the adjudicator's job of deciding who was best .... 'Sweethearts' was far better than a movie and transferred us to technicolored land of song and romance for a few short hours .... And the Music Festival with all its choirs, large and small, ushered in the Christmas Season .... The boys who went out for sport are of the material from which heroes are made .... Our football team gave the impetus to our sports program for the year .... Although we didn't win every game, our team did a fine job .... The basketball team really went to town just as we expected .... lt completed an un- defeated season spectacularly .... The swimming team came out on top, so far on top, that they are now the State Champs, showing that teamwork is really what V 409595555 fq M F 4 'J N 153 Eat counts .... Our band, cheerleaders, and drum majorettes added the finishing touch to all our school games .... rpm 112 1 A 'AK ., ' - y 1 QA my I .h 4 Q N25 ' Mg 4955 QE QE x How proud we were of our orchestra and band the evening they gave a E concert for us .... Remember, they played a lot of our favorites-'Star Dust' and 'Holiday for Strings,' for instance .... Fi -: Our Art Department has a large amount of artistic talent as shown by the wonderful display at the Art Exhibit .... A few art students had the honor of demonstrating their method for the Northwestern- Ohio Teachers' Convention .... Many pieces of art were entered in the Scholastic Contest and justified our pride in them .... The event which was worth suffering through a whole year of school came at last, far exceeding our fondest dreams .... What was it?-The Prom .... The Senior Chapel completed our programs, and as the Senior President entrusted the Trojan plague to the Class of '45, l was very proud of my school, concluded the Trojan, because I am only the essence of its deeds and become just what the students of Findlay High make me.

The Findlay tankers starting from scratch tour years ago, have strenuously striven for a championship team in which they could swim against any other interscholastic team with a feeling of security. They have now attained that goal, but only through the leadership and coaching of Holland Red Smith, who is now serving in the United States Naval Reserves as an aquatic director. Findlay won the state meet with a total score of 23 points ahead of Canton McKinley and Lakewood who shared runner-up honors with 17 points apiece.

I don't know Why Jim and I hit it oil' the way we did. Maybe it was because I never had a kid brother, and Jim, well. . .Jim was a good kid. Quiet. Serious. Used to talk. once in a while, about a girl back home. . . Showed me part of a letter he was writin' to her, last night, just before his llight took off . . . He must have felt it was a pretty dangerous job, for I remember he wrote something like this . . . 'I guess what we're fightin' for is pretty important. Beth. Otherwise so many Americans wouldn't have fought for it and died for it. back through so many years. If anything should happen to me, Beth, remember that, will you? . . .' 'Tm mailin' that letter to Beth. I'm also mailin' a copy of it in a hot steel envelope to every Messerschmitt I get in my sights. That'll make Jim feel good, I know. But not near as good as it would make him feel to know every one of you folks back home is keepin' up the fight, where he left off. I guess it's little enough to do for Jim-to take rationing cheerfully without griping, to put a little extra sweat in that war job of yours, to reach a little deeper into your pocket to buy War Bonds. That's about the most appropriate wreath you could lay for Jim ,... for all of the Jims back through the years to '76 who fought and died that our kind of country might live.
