n h £v, 'p A Ro T ol‘ I .rf II ton, who obtained a working certificate. We enterel our present year with more understanding of what we are expected to do. There is one trait especially which we have kept from last year and have probably developed yet higher, that is giggling. We have ceartainly earned the title of “giggly Sophomores.” We gained three new members this year: Robert Ammon, from Bradford; Paul- ine Mick, from Steubenville anj Elmo Pen- nington, from Louisville, Kentucky, who en- tered the second semester. We added two more basket ball players to the boys’ team, Doral Berry and Howard McClimans. Helen Arbogast, Linda Mae Turner, Evelyn Pence, Marcella Tomlin and Pauline Mick became prominent on the girls’ team. We addel to the orchestra another cor- net, violin and drummer. This year Dorral Berry became president, Helen Arbogast, vice president and the secretary-treasurer remained the same. Already we have enjoyed four class parties given by different committees, at Jack Heaston’s home, at the Oasis, anl at Nancy Jones’ home. A special party was given by Herbert Bollinger at his home in Piqua. Besides these we have had two weiner roasts and two sledding parties. Our latest activity in school was leading general assembly. The chief number on our program was the Sophomore orchestra. In order that you may know something about each one of us, I will write a little sketch of all the members in the class: CLASS ALPHABET A is for Arby, the basket ball center, also for Ammn, the clown of our members. B is for Bollinger, liked by all. C is for Celia, both dark and tall. D is for Dorral, who leals our crew. E is for Earl, Elmo, Evelyn, too. F is for fun, which is one of our aims. G is for Geraldine, who has many more names. H is for Herb and Hugh, who their places fill. I is for Irish, or Howard, if you will. ,1 is for Jack, with the untamed laugh. K is for Kermit, over airplane daft. L is for Linda, our pianist, fair. M is for Marabel and Moree, a pair. N is for Nancy, whose specs cause much stir. O is for Object, which for us all has much lure. P is for Pauline, another fair lass. Q is for Questions, which we all like to ask. R is for Ruth, our original jester. S is for Stradling, Garnarl sounds better. T is for Toomire, Jessie peferred. U is for Union, among us secure!. V is for Victory, which we all hope to gain! W is for Wiant, or Martha by name.

History of Glass ’31 Our class gathered in this school house fo its first time on an October day. We always have been different, I suppose be- cause we started that way. We entered a month later than usual and we were better friends, than the other classes, of the school house, since we both started out this very strange adventure together. We were both inexperienced as yet to this school life. But of the two I believe the building has become more seasoned than the children. All of us have had more experiences on that lower floor. Many have been forgot- ten but also many personal experiences will be long remembered. Nothing stands out very clear until the very last grade. Miss McBeth, our Eighth grade teacher, will certainly be remembered by all of us. She, by some mystic force, pulled us through those dreaded state exami- ntions. After those we had much fun pre- paring our Eighth grade commencment. We gave plays, sang songs and proudly exhibit- ed ourselves before the whole town. The proudest moment in our school life so far was receiving our diplomas from Mr. Wel- sheimer. The next year we marched boldly up another flight of stairs for we were well experienced now. But as we sat down in assembly hall amidst a shower of handclap- ping we began to feel rather quakey and th school house smiled wisely at us this time. We were initiated, that is the boys were, in the usual way, carrying wood for the first weiner roast. After a few weeks past we decided to elect class officers. From this election sur- vived the president, Jack Heaston, the vice president, Martha Wiant and the secretary- treasurer, Jessie Toomire. We held three class parties and enjoy- ed ourselves very much at each one. They were held at Herbert Bollinger’s, Melvin Bollinger’s and Linda Mae Turner’s homes. At our admittance to high school, the high school gained much, and that is not boasting. We added to the orchestra,, two cornets, a saxaphone, flute, xylophone and trombone. To sports we added one of the best players of this year and last, Jack Heaston. We gained and lost several members and those who did not journey on with us are: Leland Shroyer, who moved to Kenton; Bertis Carver, who is married; Rena May Snapp, who moved to Pemberton; Roy Heas- (Continued on page 28) 27
