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.

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.

GUIDANCE CLINIC AIDS FINDIAY YOUT B. Foltz, G. Reddin, T. O'Neil, Dr. Brumley. .aim tl Top: R. S. Phillips and Robert Swisher of Findlay College discuss entrance requirements with pros- pective students. Below: Rev. G. L. Fleming des- cribes requirements of the ministry to interested students. One of the most valuable services per- formed for the student body of Findlay High is the annual Guidance Clinic which is held in the high school building under the auspices of the local Kiwanis Club. Several days before the clinic every stu- dent is given an aptitude test. After these have been scored and interpreted, the pupil fills out a questionnaire indicating the type of occupation in which he is most interested. When the day of the clinic arrives, every boy and girl is given the opportunity of dis- cussing his prospective work with adult counsellors. The school is deeply indebted to the business and professional men and wo- men of the community for sacrificing their time and energy in order to bring to the city's youth the experience accumulated through their years of effort. This ye-ar's Guidance Clinic was under the direction of A. L. Mattoon, local dean of boys and current president of the Kiwanis Club. As a preface to the 1952 clinic the club brought Dr. Dwight L. Arnold of Kent State University to deliver the opening ad- dress of the two-day parley. 27
