Jlfiuzml ? Toetzk ? Bovie Bunger was whispering to Bill Moore in chorus rehearsal and Mr. Deschene saw him and shouted: Hey! Bunger, keep your mouth shut and sing. Some sayings often heard in the music department are: fab Come on you canarys and sing. fbj Come on and snap out of it. fcj Altogether-Get ready-1-2-5-4. fdj Hey, do you wanta get slapped in the mush. Qej Boy, we can't help but cinch that silver medal this year-fafter the contest is overj. Well, we'll have a good chorus coming on next year. First Grader: Mister Deschene why do you keep shining your head with your hanky? jack: Why do you suppose? F. G.: I thought maybe you did that to make the flies fall down when they lit there. George Alley: Say, Mister Deschene, if a cow eats three ears of corn a day, and gives three gallons of milk a day, how many eggs will a hen lay if she doesn't eat anything? jack: I really don't know because I don't know much about Horticulture. Question: Do you have a knife, jack? Answer: No, I haven't, I just changed trousers this morning and there's nothing in these that I have on. And here's some warning-jack tells us not to bother about telling him hair raising stories. Mr. Deschene Qin orchestral: Sufferin' cats! You saxophones! That's just what you sound like-if I only had a pair of old shoes. THE HEROIC DEED A dainty maid walked down the street In very pretty clothesg Her big green hat drooped flatt'ringly O'er a freshly powdered nose. The day was fair: the sun shone brightg Into a park she strolled. 'Twas there she met a gentleman Who acted very bold. He walked along beside her till A puddle loomed ahead. She raised her eyes and then she saw An auto round the bend. He saw what was about to come: His umbrella he roseg He held it down and to the side And saved her dainty hose. She thanked him o'er and o'er again For his heroic deed. So don't forget your chivalry, boys: To romance it may lead. -LILLIAN HOWELL, '3O. Page Forty

--o--- Unzbn zh Canter!! Spring is the time for contests. Then, we are at the best in body and in mind, then, we feel very ambitious. We aren't satisfied unless we're doing something more than our usual routine, so we expend our extra energy by competing with one another. The first contest was the Elimination, a literary and music contest, held in our own high school auditorium on March 14, for the purpose of choosing the persons to represent Union at the Silver Medal contest at Verona on March 21. Of the nineteen students who took part, the following five were chosen as winners: Bible Reading, Lois Stockslager, Piano Solo, Corrine Snyder, Recitation, Kathryn jordan, Vocal Solo, Lowell MtCastle, Discussion, Gerald VanAusdal. Corrine played Valse Brilliante, by Mana Zucca, for her contest number, Kathryn recited At the Theater, by Sarah Shriner, Asleep in the Deep, by Petrie, was Lowell's selection, and Gerald chose Aviation as the subject for his discussion. These six participated in the contest at Verona and there Lois and Lowell were awarded silver medals. By winning silver medals these two automatically became contestants in the Gold Medal contest at jackson on the eleventh of April. They were both placed second by the judges. The annual Arithmetic and Spelling contests were held on Saturday, April the twelfth, at West Alexandria. These contests consisted of the following events: Arithmetic, ciphering, written spelling, oral spelling for grade pupils, ciphering, written spelling and oral spelling for high school students, and ciphering and oral spelling for adults. Ruth Swartzel, a pupil in our eighth grade, won the gold medal in arithmetic, and Leland Deschene, a sophomore in Union, won the medal in oral spelling in the high school group. The next in line was the All State Scholarship Contest for Seniors. In this county it was held at the Camden school building, on Saturday, April the nineteenth. Each school could enter ten seniors or any number less than ten. Most schools were represented by only two or three but Union entered a complete team, which was as follows: Corrine Snyder, Lois Stockslager, Lillian Howell, Kathryn Seemann, Glenn Hoffman, Woodrow Brown, Eugene Paul, Raymond Unger, Howard Imes, and Paul Deisher. These ten seniors were chosen because of the grades they had made on the state intelligent test given to seniors last fall. In this contest Corrine Snyder tied for third place in Preble County and Lois Stockslager was one of the eight from the county who was awarded honorable mention. At Union, on Saturday, April the twenty-sixth, students from Union competed with students from the rest of the schools in Preble county in a scholarship contest. Contests were held in the following subjects: English 1, English 2, English 3, English 4, American History, Physics, Chemistry, Latin 1, Latin 2, Algebra, Geometry, French 1 and French 2. Union students placed as follows: English 1, Evelyn Kline, first, Miriam Wilhelm, tied for second, English 2, Leland Deschene, first, English 3, Merna Brown and Gerald VanAusdal, first, Chemistry, Corinne Snyder, second, Latin 1, Marston Myers, second, Geometry, justin Paul, first. The students who won first in these thirteen subjects, went to Miami University on May the third, to compete for honors in the southwestern district of Ohio. These thirteen were also eligible to enter one other contest besides that in which they won first. These were the results: English 2, Leland Deschene, sixth, English 3, Merna Brown, third, English 4, Corrine Snyder, fourth, Physics, Gerald VanAusdal, first, Chemistry, Corrine Snyder, second. In this district meet the counties also contested for honors. Each county had a team composed of ten members. Preble County's team was made up of the winners of first place in: English 1, English 2, English 3, English 4, Physics, Chemistry, Plane Geometry, Algebra, American History, and French 2. Points were counted as follows: First place, six points, second, five, third, four, fourth, three, fifth, two, sixth, one. When the points won by each county's team were totaled, it was found that Preble County had tied for second place in the southwestern district of Ohio. The contestants from Union scored a total of nineteen points. Page Thirty-nine
