Text from Pages 1 - 70 of the 1940 volume:

Jima' l an.aLHAaq,.. O BUILD a store ot golden memories which our classmates will treasure in future days, to record on the stones of time the principal events of this, one per- fect year, and to carve for other friends as may see these pages a realistic scene of the intimate and invigorating life ot Hopewell- Loudon High School has been the aim ot the Senior class of 1940. Published by The Firsl Senior Class of Hopewell-Loudon I-Egh School. Bascom. Ohio 1 C 1 z pg mmm-mmm m' For several years it was evident that un- less the people of this district consolidated the one room schools, this territory would be divided among the surrounding districts, also, that the cost of maintaining the one room schools and transporting the high sdhool pupils to other high schools was equal to or greater than the other consolidated schools in the county. For the betterment of our community, in the year l937, the Hopewell-Loudon Town- ship Board of Education then composed ot the following members: I. L. Border, Presi- dent: Ed. W. Kelbley, Vice-President, Lewis W. Comer, Homer H. Dewald, and L. B. Summer, Clerk, arranged a meeting with the Loudon Township Board of Education then composed of the following members: Lloyd Myers, President, M.D.Coppus, Ralph Fox, Warren Adams, George Lonsway, and Paul Pember, Clerk. At this meeting it was agreed to meet with the County Board of Education for the purpose of joining the two townships into one school district. It was decided to disban-d the Hopewell Township and the Loudon Township Boards of Educa- tion and form a new school board, to be known as the Hopewell-Loudon Rural School Board. The County School Board at this time ap- pointed the following members to repre- sent the new district: M. D. Coppus, R. C. Fox, I. L. Border, H. H. Dewald, and L. B. Summer. After assuming their new duties as board members, I. L. Border was elected president: M. D. Coppus, vice president: and Paul Pem- ber was selected as clerk. After consulting several architects on the probable cost of a new building of sufficient Capacity to take care of the pupils in this district, the Board of Education decided that the time had arrived to Carry the facts to the citizens of the new Hopewell-Loudon District for their decision. C. H. Shively, architect of Fremont, Ohio, was asked to prepare an es- timate for a bond issue to build and equip a new school building. After examining many new schools in the state and, due considera- tion given, the Board of Education agreed to submit a bond issue of iB180,000 to the people for their approval at the regular November election, 1937. When the votes were counted it was found that the bond issue had failed by a small margin. The Board of Education then applied to the Public Works Adminis- tration for a Federal Grant which in due time was approved and again they prepared to submit a bond issue to the people. This bond issue was for S200,000. The P. W. A. prom- ised 390,000 providing the people ot the district would approve a bond issue for Sll0,- 000. The facts were given immediately to the citizens by public meetings and distribution of one thousand leaflets. When the election was over and ballots counted, it was found that 7l'Xt of the voters had approved the project. The bonds were sold to Seasongood and Mayer at 2 3-4'X: interest and premium of 551,651.85 for a twenty-three year period on August l6, l9i38. When the bids were opened, S. A. Schieber and Son of Bucyrus, Ohio, was low bidder. The school district as it stands today com- prises aboutt 70 square miles with a tax val- uation of S5,764,520. One now sees the building in a complet- ed and tangible form as it is presented to the community. The people of the Hopewell- Loudon School district can say with pride that they live in a community with a new modern school building and equipment com- parable to any in the state. The members of the School Board appre- ciate your help, patience, and forbearance, and it is the desire of the members that they have not disappointed you in this project. L. B. Summer, President. Three things are to be looked to in a building: That it stand on the right spot That it be securely foundedg That it be successfully executed. -Goethe.

Nothing useless is, or low, Each thing in its place is best: And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filledy Our tofdays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these: A Leave no yawning gaps between, Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. In the elder days of Art, Builders Wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part: For the Gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen: Make the house, where Gods may dwell Beautiful, entire, and clean, Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb. Build to-day, then, strong and sure. With a firm and ample Base: And ascending and secure Shall to-morrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain To those turrents, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain. And one boundless reach of sky. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Bound og f To the Hopewell-Loudon Board of Education We de- vote this page. Through their untiring efforts and fine cooperation, a new school, one of the finest and most modern in the state, has been made possible. Back of the beating hammers which help to build our building, bock of the clctmor which dccompdnies con- struction are the Thinkers, Our Board of Education, who think to drive things through, the literal architects in planning the entire organization of our school. However, little we seern to appreciate their untiring efforts, the student body does feel their presence, and Wishes to thank them sincerely for their splendid cooperation. Board of Education L. B.

Clerk hz1wp1u,.,,g.f1m ' 5cluwL ..... The History of Education informs us that the first secondary school was founded over three hundred years ago. This was known as the Boston Latin School. Following the Latin Grammar ,Schools were the academics in which the trend was toward a more prac- tical curriculum, for in addition to the Latin, the new academy included the English School and the Mathematical School. The first public school in America was or- ganized in Boston in l82l and was known as the English High School. During these years from the founding of the Boston Latin School to the present time, secondary edu- cation has undergone constant change and adaptation, to meet the growing needs of our democracy. One field of this change has been the broadening of the curriculum. So much has been added that we are compelled to abandon the formal teaching of the tradi- tional school. ln recent years educators have come to realize that regardless of how im- portant intellectual learning may be, educa- tion also includes physical, aesthetic, emo- tional, and moral development. It is recognized that there are certain fun- damental essentials which must be mastered by every pupil. Knowing that there exists among boys and girls a wide range of abil- ities, interests and aptitudes, it is impossible to set up a course of study that must be strictly followed and adhered to by all. The great Educator, lohn Dewey, said, Educa- tion is not a training for life, but is life. Society holds the school responsible for the kind of citizen it trains. Hopewell-Loudon has a program of education which we think fits the needs of the boys and girls in this community. Election of many courses- in high school may be chosen depending upon the abilities and interests of the student. These offerings are English, Science, Foreign Languages, Mathematics, History, Vocational Agricul- ture, Home Economics, Music, Physical Edu- cation, Art and others. Our chief aim is to make our boys and girls thorough and proficient in all that they undertake and most important of all to make them effective and desirable citizens. lt is my sincere wish that all the rooms of this building be filled with an invigorating atmosphere of mental and moral life, and that no student leave this school to the outer world without having been made more intel- lectual, thoughtful, courageous and in every way more capable of wise, useful and noble living. -A. W. lones, Superintendent. The three great bases of a democratic way of life are the home, the church, and the school. The Hopewell-Loudon community has always possessed good homes, good churches, and good schools. Yet our new school improves this triumvirorte of educd- tional opportunity and democratic living. Our new school presents admirable means for pupils to correct or eliminate those mal- adiustments which hinder living in our new social order. Our boys and girls have splen- did facilities for planning and building their future careers. While our homes endure, while our churches endure, while our school endures, the boys and girls of Hopewell- Loudon will continue to march on to greater achievement. l am proud to be a member of the faculty of our new school. May the faculty always give excellent service and inspiration. The morals and spirits of the student body is as fine as can be found in any county system. May this community continue to have the outstanding leadership and the splendid fa- cilities for the integration and growth of youth that it has always had! -H. Randall Miller, Principal. gfwmowipm We, the class of 1940, dedicate the first issue of The Scarlet and Gray to our superintendent, A. W. lones, who through his untiring efa forts and cooperation, has guided this yearbook to its successful comple- tion. To him go our praises for planning and organizing the various de- partrnents of the school, assisting the Board of Education in securing the Six Year Charter, and for promoting and supporting all activities, We feel sure that his twenty successful years of teaching and supervising have been an asset to him in coping with the diverse situations which arise in the establishing of a new school, The R. C. A. two-way sound sys- tem is indispensable in or modern school today. Vtfith this sound system communication con be cdr- ried on between the Superintendent cmd any teacher or pupil in the building, Radio proqroms or phon- ograph records com be tuned in any roorn individually or all rooms dt one time. This equipment is very vcrlucrble for mctkinq on- nouncements ond for class room use. lt results in d qreot sovinq of time and steps.

SCHLUPE Ohio State University in Education Tvpinq Shorthand Bookkeeping General Business We are inviting you to accompany us on a tour through our new building. As we en- ter the front door we hear the busy humming of many typewriters in the commercial de- partment where Miss Schlupe, the head of the department says that this buzz is from twelve typewriters tsix Royals, six L. C. Smithsl. There is also a mimeoscope and a mimeograph to speed the process of making the school paper and for duplicating tests, programs, and announcements. Across the hall we find the agricultural department directed by Mr. Stuckey. This department has a considerable amount of equipment, a power equipped table saw, a joiner, wood lathe, band saw, jig saw, drill press, grinder, forge, and a large supply of hand tools. We recognize an apparatus for testing milk and cream as we are leaving the room. Jw Jlvwwffh Upon leaving the farm shop room, We come to a stairway which leads us to the second floor Where in Mr. Buckingham's science department, We see a rnost unique piece of equipment, a micro-projector. For the chemistry students there is an electric still. The physics students have a static ma- chine, a pressure vacuum pump, a sonome- ter, a barometer, an electroscope, and a po- larized light meter. The biologists have four lite-size models representing the respiratory system, a cross section of the head, the skin and inner tissues, and the ear. At the far end of the hall is a very modern kitchen for the home economics girls to prac- tice the age-old art of cooking. There are six electric stoves and a refrigerator, plus six dining tables and chairs for each group to practice table service. Sewing is carried on in the adjoining room where there are five UMW Singer sewing machines. Two pinking ma- chines, a hemstitcher, and a buttonholer are examples of the extra equipment which helps to make sewing easy and pleasant. Retracing our steps, we pass the cafeteria and smell the delicious odors of the cooking food. We truly wish that We might siay for lunch. We glance in the study hall door and see approximately l5O chairs filled with indus- trious students sitting at tables preparing their lessons. Looking through the glass partition we see in the library, more students checking our books, magazines and newspapers. We then proceed down another hall and enter the music room where Mr. Hite is hav- ing band practice. Immediately we see the bass drum, the alto horns, bass horns, bari- tone horns, clarinets, saxophones, comets, French horns, Cymbals, and snare drums. After listening for a few minutes, We go down the back steps and look in on Mr. Peter's gyrn class, Where the boys are playing volley ball. The athletic department has a complete line of athletic equipment for all physical education classes. The equip- ment for the varsity athletic teams is amonq the finest in the state. We then go to visit the grade rooms. Here we find nearly 250 students in six rooms making themselves busy by either study, reciting or decorating their rooms, giving them a sense of liveliness. We shall now go to the general office. Here is the teachers postoffice, the supply counter, and secretary's desk. We shall next proceed through this office to our superin- tendent's private office in which is the two- way sound system. lt is encased in a beauti- ful walnut finished cabinet. We thank the superintendent for our enjoyable trip.

To most of us, school would not be school if it were not for the two daily trips on one of the busses. We are proud of our eight new busses and the drivers. The drivers have kept the busses in first- class condition. All have enjoyed the friendship of these men. To our faithful friends, Mr. Border and Mr. Mount, We are indebted for the corn- forts and cleanliness of our school. Known to both young and old for their friendly smile and Word, they form an important part of our school system. Few of us real- ize that these two men spend many hours before and after school at their many tasks. 14 A person Whom we are all glad to see every noon is Mrs. Grear, Although she is seldom seen about the building, she spends many hours in the kitchen pre- paring the menus which Miss Rew has planned. We also have Mrs. Grear to thank for the success of the many parties and other activities at which refreshments were served. The classes of Hopewell-Loudon are composed of students from various schools in Seneca County. The elemen- tary and junior high grades originated from fourteen separate county schools while the high school classes owe their membership to six neighboring high schools. lust as these students have been molded in the diverse classes so have the parents molded together their ideas and efforts and have functioned this year, as one unit rather than in separate units. It is this spirit of cooperation and unity among the classes and parents which has made this school year suc- cessful and which, if continued, will produce the citizens of tomorrow.

The theme song of the whole year was money, with ways and means of raising it, mainly for the publication of our annual. We sponsored The WomanlessAWedding and the class play Miss limmyf' And now we come to commencement. To us it seems the end, but rather it is the beginning of our real life work. We have the tools with which to make this work a success. Whether we are able to do this re- mains to be seen. This final thought we shall strive to carry with us that we may always bring honor to the name of Hopewell-Loudon: Our aim, Success: our hope, to win. ,gqmb-LSMPL gm wut We, the senior class of l94U, being of sound mind and body, hereby be- queath our last will and testament.

Class Reunion Held The class of 1940 of Hopewell-Loudon High School held a class reunion at Meadowbrook Park owned and operated by Robert Browning. Most of the graduates of the Class were present except Mrs. Harris Keller tformerly Evelyn Walter? who is vacationing at Edgewater Beach, Angus, Ohio. Mrs. Keller is well known for her missionary work in Africa. We were very much surprised to see Evelyn Steinmetz, head nurse at Robinhood Hospital, who is nationally known for her new preparation for kill- ing fleas. Another important guest was Dorothy Smith, well known New York fashion designer, who gave a review on fall fashions. LaVonne Dillon, Chicago's outstanding beauty confidant, gave an inter- esting talk on beauty.

The society is composed of juniors and seniors hav- ing B average or more in four subjects. Honor students from other townships in the county visited our school several times as was suggested at a monthly meeting of the society. Ten members represented Hopewell-Loudon in the so- ciety this yeor. Varied activities and interests are important in the development of the individual. Through the me- dium of plays, music, clubs, and parties, students obtain those char- acteristics Which are essential to success in life. 115 'l'l AZ' 'l'l l 'l'l l 7 O7 Standing: Audrey Shumaker, Dorothy Smith, Mr. Hite, Naomi Ley, Rita Mae Reinhart, Paul Arbogast, Evelyn Steinmetz, Mary Burns, Robert Browning, Mr, Iones.

We can an- swer this in the affirmative, because it gave the school the news of the school activities and it was also a financial success. Their success, due to work and cooperation, will bring back memories which will repay them many times over. Let us, too remember that their victory this year, was greatly due to the untiring efforts of Miss Schlupe, their sponsor.

The High School Music Clubs of 1939-40, with the aid of their competent director, Mr. Clifford Hite, has been quite successful in its Work. Each club met regularly each week. Margaret Hedges and Ralph Iones acted as accompanists. During the year the music clubs sang at a P. T. A. meeting, the Farmers' institute, the United Brethren Church, the Christmas pro- gram, and with the county schools in the Music Festival at Old Fort. They also went caroling at Christmas time. The chorus and band presented a mu- siccrl comedy, The Bond Wagon . Much midnight oil was burned, but Mr. Hite's di- rections were followed faithfully during those tryng weeks ot rehearsal. The show was successfully presented to an appreciative audience and the cast and Mr. Hite were well pleased. The chorus brought to a close a very successful year with its commencement and dedication progrom. Band F 9' One of the most popular organizations of Hopewell- Loudon is the new band. lt provides both interesting and instructive recreation for grade and high school students alike. Under the leadership of Mr. Hite, the band has pro- gressed rapidly. He is a graduate of Ohio State Uni- versity in the department of music. The members, though nearly all beginners, have worked very hard throughout the year and have been able to present many marches and other numbers. They also presented the school's Alma Mater to the public for the first time at a basketball game with Brookville. The band played at some of the basketball games, where it was received with great enthusiasm. The lun- iors also asked the band to play between acts at their play. Several numbers were presented during Mr. Bur' gette's magician show. The band also participated in the operetta. A concert, which was given this spring, was enjoyed by both band members and parents. Wy ,,. The Ohio State Band appeared in a concert in the auditorium, on February 20th. lt was received by a large audience and proved to be a great inspiration to our own band members. The proceeds were given to the music department. One branch of the band is the brass quartet, com- posed of Lois Summer, Evan Wertz, Ralph Iones, and Robert Browning. The quartet played on different oc- casions at school and for the A. A. A. Club in Tiffin. Several numbers were offered at the Schoolmasters' Banquet. Ralph also played several comet solos during the year and entered the county contest, winning sec- ond place. We have many hovpes for the band in the future. lt is expected that uniforms will be purchased and we believe that the time will come when the Hopewell- Loudon band can rank with any band of other schools of its size.

The Future Farmers of America is a na- tional organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture in the public schools throughout the United States. The F. F. A. is a non-profit corporation designed to recog- nize and encourage the natural instincts and tendencies to orgonize into goings or groups and put enthusiasm and pleasure into work and recreation. By establishing a strong chapter in our school, an outlet for these in- stincts is afforded the vocational agriculture students. The purposes of this organization are as follows: l. To develop competent, aggressive, ru- ral leaders. 2. To strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his Work. 3. To create more interest in the intelli- gent choice of farming. 4. To create and nurture a love of coun- try life. 5. To encourage co-operation. 6. To promote thrift. 7. To promote and improve scholarship. 8. To improve the rural home and its sur- roundings. The Hopewell-Loudon chapter is working hard to accomplish these purposes. Our motto is Learning to clo, doing to learn, learning to live, living to serve.

In December, 1939, cr skeletal orgcrnizotion furnished corn- petition for New Riegel and Iackson-Amsden in the county one-act play contest. Lois Sum- mer, Duane Good, and Clifford Ward pre- sented the Maker of Dreams under the di-' rection of Miss Gase and Mr. Miller. The play was awarded second place, losing to lack- son-Amsden's Auf Wiedersehen. Later in the year fifty students, excluding seniors, organized a permanent club. Clifford Ward was elected president: Warren Rainey, vice-presidenty Evelyn Kromer, trecrsurerp and Glenn Ward, secretary. Miss Gase and Mr. Miller continue as the sponsors. Four committees were appointed: a committee to select a name, a committee to frame a con- stitution, a committee to choose plays, acom- mittee to determine the time of regular meet- ings. Plans are under way for selecting plays, for choosing casts, and for holding tryouts in preparation for the county one-act play con- test in 1940. ln May, Alfred Keller, a costumer and make-up artist of Tiffin, entertained the group with a very interesting talk on the variety and application of make-up for general and type casting. The program of the club is three-fold: pro- duction ot plays for various school functions, mastery of the art of make-up in amateur theatricals, and practice in the direction ot plays and handling of stage equipment.

Members ot the Latin classes met the sec- ond month ot school and organized the Classicum Concilium. The twenty members were divided into two groups, the Patricians and Plebians, depending upon the length of time they had taken the Latin course. The organization was similar to that of the Roman senate. Duane Good was elected Primus con- sulg Lois Summer, Secundus Consulg Ralph Iones, Censorg James Comer, Questorg Evan Wertz, Tribune: Margaret Holland, Muntiusg and Miss Kime, as sponsor of the club, was named the Pontifex Maximus. The group drew up a constitution and ar- ranged a point system whereby the mem- bers could earn pins or awards for extra wtork done outside the class period. Purple and gold were selected for the colors and Labor Ornnia Vincit was rnade the club motto. The Classicum Concilium was in charge of the assembly program on March 15, known as the ldes ot March among the Ro- mans. A playlet entitled A Day Without Latin , was given and interesting facts about Roman private life were presented by sev- eral students. Outstanding among the programs of the club were the Christmas program, when the members sang carols in Latin, the Valentine party, when the members exchanged the valentines which they had made and written in Latin, and the meeting to which the mein- bens came carrying or wearing something which distinguished them as a mythological character. The club concluded their programs with a Roman banquet at which time special recog- nition was given to those students winning points tor the posters, notebooks or other work they had done during the year. The organization has made togas which the otticers wear at each meeting. The club hopes to add to its collection ot Roman arti- cles next year.

Failing to locate the Cadei, he leaves Betty Lu seated on a bench while he goes to phone. Gray and Betty Lu meet tor the tirst time and exchange opinions in clever repartee. Meanwhile, two red-caps, Mose and Sam, have mixed up the baggage so amusingly that the air becomes sur- charged in mystery. The appearance of the school band, at this juncture, makes every- body torget about some baggage which eventually becomes so vital to the plot. Soon the visitors learn that there .is to be a Sat- urday night street carnival in town. ln a clever Telegram chorus, all send messages tor longer leave. Sandy and lerry, whose suitcases are among the missing are obliged to attend the carnival as Miss Twitter and Miss Lavendar . Sally and Prudence appear in band uniforms, but Officer O'Flarity smells a rat and the carnival night be- comes one ot testivity mixed with perplex- ity.

' 61444 671-14 Miss Iimmy , a three act comedy, was presented by the Senior Class Tuesday, May Zl in the Hopewell-Loudon auditorium. The action of the play rises when Iimmy is forced by his fraternity brothers to enter the girls' dormitory in search of a girl's dress to wear in an initiation stunt. At the same time the girls ore finding it difficult to get dgtes for their big donce of the yeor with crny- one but brothers, cousins, and uncles, and when they capture Iimmy they decide to make his fraternity brothers escort them to the prom by holding Iimmy for ransom. From then on things happen. The girls have a time keeping limmy hidden from Professor Frazier and the clean. When they all fall for limmy and try to win him, Iimmy tries to escape by posing as Miss Jimmy in Louise's dress. When everything looks clear, the chief of police, who has a long record for catching kidnappers, appears. Louise ,the chief character, is a sopho- more. She is a pleasant girl about nineteen who is not so sure that studying is the best thing a girl can do in the spring. Florence, her roommate, is not so roman- tically inclined, and tries to appear hard- boiled by making Wise cracks. Catherine is a blond of the type that men are said to pre- fer, and definitely prefers men. Doris, who rooms with her, is the freshman drudge. Harriet, the campus snob, with an inferiority complex, is a dark-haired siren. ln contrast with college girls is the part of Miss Wat- kins, an old woman who heads the school. The parts for the men include Iimmy, Droopy, and Professor Frazier. Iimmy is the typical college boy, a little serious and still gay, but subject to romance in the spring. Droopy, the colored janitor, is exactly that. Professor Frazier Went to Oxford and came back with a taste for tea and an English ac- cent. Characters for the play were taken by the following people: Audrey Shumaker, Louise, Rita Mae Reinhart, Florence: Margaret Hedges, Catherinep Dorothy Summer, Doris: LaVonne Dillon, Harriet, Robert Browning, DroODY: Naomi Ley, Miss Watkinsy Duane Good, Iimmyy and Paul Arbogast, Prof. Fraz- ier.

Hopewellloudon has been tor- tunate in securing a coach as Mr. Peter. He has done a very good piece ot work and has laid the foundation for a bigger and better Physical Education program an- other year. His own success in high school and college athletics has helped to account for his good sportrnanship and high moral char- acter which is esteemed by the entire student body and faculty.

Rainey, like Stultz, will be expected to go places next year and bring honors to the team. RALPH IONES 42 lanes was elected honor- ary captain by his team- mates. Ralph excelled in long shots and for this reason he averaged high point man on the team. He has two big years ahead of him. 48 PAUL STULTZ 4l Stultz showed a fine spirit of co-operation and sportsmanship. Paul, with this year's experience be- hind him, should be inval- uable to next years team. PAUL ARBOGAST 40 Abby used his height to a good advantage in getting the ball on the rebound.

Physical education is the sum of man's phy- sical activities, selected as to kind and con- ducted as to outcomes. Its worth depends upon the kind of activities pursued and the outcomes of the activities. ln organized phy- sical education, selected carefully and led competently, the activities arise out of men's needs as a human being and satisfy a real want. The teaching of physical and health education has a very important part in the preparing of boys and girls for citizenship in a democratic society. The first basketball season at Hopewell- Loudon opened with a squad of thirty-three boys trying out for positions. Before the first game the squad was cut to twenty boys who were all very much inexperienced as far as fundamentals and knowledge of bas- ketball is concerned. Although, according to wins and losses, Hopewell-Loudon had a poor season but the squad realized that co- operation and sportsmanship were the main factors during the basketball season. With the loss of three boys due to graduation, these positions will have to be filled. After the closing game a very fine basketball ban- quet was sponsored by the mothers of the boys. Six varsity, six reserves, two man- agers and four cheerleaders were awarded letters. ' The reserves' squad composed mainly of freshmen and sophomores were very inex- perienced. During the course of the season, the reserves won one game. The lunior High Team was composed of seventh and eighth graders who will in the future be of great aid to the varsity athletics of Hopewell-Loudon. A few of these boys will be counted upon next year for varsity material and as time goes on, the winning teams of Hopewell-Loudon will be taken from these groups. The intramural basketball trophy was won by the lunior class. ln the first game of the tournament the eighth grade defeated the seventh with a score of 3l-l3. ln the second game the luniors repelled the Seniors 25-13. The ninth grade defeated the eighth grade in the first game of the semi-finals with a score of 24-15. ln the final game, the luniors defeated the Freshmen 29-16 to win the in- tramural tournament. The track season opened with a triangular meet at lackson. The teams finished in the following order: lackson, 59 points: Hope- well-Loudon, 39 pointsg Risingsun, 23 points. The county meet will be held at Heidelberg College on May llth. This will find lack Morgan and lohn Ridenour in the dashes, Robert Browning and Paul Arbogast throwing the weights, Paul Stultz and Duane Coppus in the high jump, Ray Miller in the broad iump, Lloyd Painter and Warren Rainey in the 440 yard dash, and Ralph lones in the mile. The track squad is managed by Iarnes Co- mer and Marion Colvin. 9 Champs. Top Bow: Iames Kesler, Galen Feasel, Wayne Sperow, Mr. Miller, Sponsor. Second Row: Reber!
