Wislex'. 5'ff0P The whirr of motors, the clang of steel, the clatter of busy machines-the shop is at the height of a typical day. For a number of vcars the vocational trades and industries department has been one of the integral parts of our school, training boys for positions requiring skill in machine operation and ability to do the many tasks a modern factory pre- sents. Not only does our vocational department give fundamental training in all trades, but it specializes in machine shop work and welding so that its graduates will fit into the local industrial piogram. In the shop the students get actual experience by working on products brought in by local shops and individuals. Senior boys work part time in important Galion industries. They become a real part of the shop during the time they are employed and are graded by the shop foremen. In addition to the practical work, the vo- cational students learn mathematics, shop science, blueprint reading and drafting. Piner Long is co-ordinator of Galion High's vocational department and Ora Tracht is his able assistant. JUNIURS: lu-sr Ron' R. l.illu. I.. Ross. R. Cfnrli-mn. H. Ki-llog.

A Page of MIS' and Mar Mounted on Evidence: of Red Tape We call the reader's attention to the background of this feature page which give glimpses of much of the red tape printed matter which dogs the student's life. Admission slips, out-of-room permits, dismissal-from-class blanks, excuses, de- tention notices, building-leaving forms, tardy notices, bulletins, eligibility lists, the program of studies, the famed Student Guidance bulletin, the schedule of daily toil, fire drill regulations, room assign- ments-they're all here to remind us what school in the machine age was like. All day long you sign your name, you answer the question Why,',-you take a slip from someone and hand it to someone else-you sign your name and answer another question. Such minutia of the system are necessary to the smooth run- ning of a school, they say. So, lest we for- get by the time the callouses on our writing fingers heal, glance at the back- ground and try to figure mathematically how much time would be saved if only- Girls of Galion high school have long advocated football for women. Do you recognize this demoness of the gridiron? Jane Place is surrounded by admiring fans after scoring on a line drive in a practice game. Coulter, strong man of many a committee is lured into helping the decorating com- mittee of the G. R. Sweetheart party. Barbara Shaffer, Marilyn Glenn and Lora Jean Hefflefinger are the luresses. First day of the hunting season and a group of our intrepid bunny chasers are off to the woods. Baer, Vossers, Thoman, Farina and Logan plan their diabolical mode of campaign before shaking the academic dust from their feet. The boys go gaily off-dozens of them, scores of them, while co-eds pine away the hours in dismal classrooms devoid of interest. 'Tain't fair, gals! Before the Honor Plaque dedicated to the dead war heroes of the school, Jim Ness pauses for a moment of tribute and per- haps a moment of fond memory, too. The name of Jim's older brother, Hugh, is one of those on this roll of honor. Visual education is an important feature of school life. Motion pictures are used for' many assemblies and for several class- es. A number of students are trained as operators and are constantly in demand not only for school movies but for service at meetings of various civic organizations. Miller and Price are pictured operating the machine for a biology class movie. A welcome G. I. returned to G. H. S. around mid-term time. Mr. Walters fBuckey to studentsl, who taught biology before his induction into the armed forces, came back for a brief stay. He taught the senior science class during the time he was with us and assisted in the study hall during several periods each day. At the beginning of the Spring quarter at Ohio State University, Mr. Walters deserted us again to resume his studies there. Although we were sorry to have him leave we hope he is success- ful in realizing his ambition to study medicine. An insidious beastie in the form of the little mumps germ invaded our pleasant precincts in the merry month of March. Dozens of students were mowed down in one fell swoop. The popular pastime was to stroke one's rear jaw regions and hope that the swelling one felt was just sym- pathetic imagination. We decided that our yearbook would not be faithful to its duty of recording the year's events if we omitted a picture of some victim of the malady. So, when we heard that Farina had taken to his bed we howled with one accord, Angelo's our man, and sent Joe hustling to do his stuff. You sure look purty, Farina! Another picture tells the story of many affairs. A crowd pours into the auditor- ium. Ushers ush them to their seats, fthe wrong ones fairly consistentlyj, ticket stubs clutter the floor, the lights dim, the doors bang shut, and another play, or concert is under way. We present with pride the junior high school basketball team. Although not in any way connected with this school, their splendid record, ten victories, one defeat, deserves recognition from their elders. These lads played with a spirit of co-op- eration that won the admiration of all who saw them. They represented Galion proudly as they encountered stiff oppo- sition. They played with zest-for the game and with a sportsmanlike attitude. We congratulate them heartily for a thrilling- ly successful season. We look ahead into the future and believe we see a state championship in about the year 1949.

l M47'l0M4l fl0NOR .S' 0615 W The National Honor Society has assumed the status of an inactive chapter during the past year and has dispensed with all meetings and activities, becoming entirely an honorary organization. In the picture above the officers of the society are seen basking luxuriously in the honor of mem- bership in the widely known national group. We are sorry that we cannot pub- lish a picture of the new members, who are usually inducted into membership in March, but as we go to press in the middle of April the election has not yet been held. A change in the rules made by the committee of faculty members sponsoring the organization denies mem- bership to juniors and gives seniors the honor of belonging during only the last several weeks of the school year. When the present ofiicers of the society were elected the qualifications demanded a B average in scholarship and high Standing-McGuire, Hubley. Scared-Vossers, Klockner, Crissingcr, Carmel. standing in leadership, service, and char- acter. These six were chosen last spring by the entire vote of the faculty and membership of their class as those best exemplifying splendid leadership, worthy character, and loyal service to Galion High School. The honor of standing so high in the opinions of classmates and teachers is a great one and the students know that although the organization has been inactive this year the officers have continuedxto be worthy of the honor which is theirs. Oflicers of the group: President, Marian Crissingerg Vice-president, Joe McGuireg Secretary, Dick Klocknerg Treasurer, jack I-lubleyg Sergeant at Arms, John Vosserg Chaplain, Joanne Carmel. The faculty committee consists of: L. W. Babb, chairmang Miss Katharine Harris, W. F. Probst, Miss Geraldine Spink and Miss Arvilla Emmenegger.
