The State Scholarship Tests mark the final event in the yearls series of scholastic contests. These examinations are of a special- ized nature, with two students being per- mitted to take the test in each subject. This year 54 F.H.S. students from the sophomore. junior and senior classes took the examinations at Bowling Green State University early in May. Every year the D.A.R. organization pre- sents state-wide tests to senior girls who can qualify for them on the basis of scholarship, citizenship and character. The tests deal with the field of American History. Last winter the five girls pictured below took the D.A.R. examination. D.A.R. Contestants Front: C. Burkhart. J. Umbs. Rear: D. Lindner. B. Miller.

Grieb, L. Hinton. K. Mitchell, W. Tell. Every year the scholastic leaders of the senior class are designated to take part in the State Senior Scholarship Tests. This year 50 seniors vied for honors in this con- test. The senior test is of a general nature, all contestants being required to answer ques- tions in the fields of English, history, mathe- matics and science. Since no student can specialize in all these fields, training received in one branch of learning will compensate for a lack of learning in another. Thus all contestants have an equal chance. The annual American Legion contest con- sists of the writing of compositions by nearly all students enrolled in the senior high school. Subjects are designated by the Legion committee and winners receive cash prizes for their efforts. X .ASQ 24 American Legion Essay Winners Robert Mosier and Jo Ann Oxley.

PRO The Junior-Senior Prom, which was this year held on May 16, is the capstone of the official Findlay High School social season. After weeks of preparation by the various junior committees, the staging and other details are finally completed and the guests on that memorable night dance to the music of a band of accomplished musicians amid exotic scenery under soft lights. This year the decoration committee, under the able direction of Dave McCullough, pro- duced a beautiful setting depicting a South Sea island theme complete with colorful flowers, palm trees and tropical moonlight. The music for the evening was furnished by Ernie Duffield and his orchestra ensconced in a grass-roofed lean-to, and the guests danced among the tropical trees and through the open ends of a native hut in the middle of the floor. The grand march highlighted the even- ing with the couples led by Senior Class President John Blide and his date, Kay Herge, and Junior Class President Lanny Miles and his partner, Cynthia Koehler, heading the procession. Four sophomore girls attired in Hawaiian grass skirts, halters and leis served refresh- ments for the occasion. 26 M MARKS CLIMAX OF SOCIAL EVE Prom leaders and spon- sors line up for the Grand March.
