It hardly seems possible that our high school life is gone, but it's been four years since we elected Bob Wagner as our frosh president to be supported by vice president Bill Drayer and secretary-treasurer Tom Haeussler. Mr. Peiffer and Miss Garster were our sponsors while Bob Troup, Cecelia Gatts, and our president carried on in the Student Council. The cast did a grand job with our play The Courtship of Miles Standish. We were more sure of ourselves in our sophomore year. President Bill Shade, vice president Bill Drayer, and secretary-treasurer Bob Masters were our guiding lights. The Dudley Gals starred in the scholarship tests and the class of '44 was granted more fame by lim Spencer's baton twirling at Miami and Mary Ann Fry's rating of excellent plus for her piano solo in the contest. Helen Halloway and Bob Troup served with President Bill on the Student Council and Miss Garster and Mr. Blowney were our sponsors. Elmer was our chosen play. Oh, that junior year! Vendors of everything. Speaking of the good old days- Bob Masters, Mary Ann Fry, and Lois lane Rice were chosen as class officers with Bill Shade, lean Woods, Don Rost, and our president on the Student Council. Miss Garster, Miss Herboltzheimer, and Mr. Peiffer sponsored our exploits. One of the big events was the success of The American Eagle. Cliff Gebhart attended Boys' State and several of our boys starred in athletics. On Friday, May 21, we enjoyed the Reception at the Wishing Well. We did it the South American Way and everyone had fun. lt was all so much fun-more than we realized before our senior year when we elected Bill Shade president, Bob Masters vice president, Cecelia Gatts secretary, and lean 'Woods treasurer. Don Rost flew into the presidency of the Student Council with Bill Shade, Bob Masters, and Lois Rice. After much debate we voted purple and gold as our colors, the yellow rose our flower and our motto: One world, one peace, one victory. Miss Reed and Mr. Heistand spon- sored our undertakings with Miss Iennings directing What a Lifel And what a success! Cecelia Gatts and Onnolee Morris were chosen to take the D. A. R. tests and ten of the seniors tried their intelligence in the scholarship tests at Roosevelt. Bill Snyder and Louie Brockman left two blue stars in our class window when they heeded the call to the colors before finishing their classes. The Libraria Farewell, April 14, began the closing events. The Reception at the Wishing Well, May 205 Baccalaureate at the United Brethren Church the Zlstp the good old Prom on the 22ndy that crazy Class Night the 23rd: the Senior Picnic on the 24th: and the final precious memory of our lives together---Com- mencement on May 25. Now, we the class of '44, begin our lives as real Americans in a free and beloved land, ready to keep that land free through our constant and united efforts and prayers for victory.

This year they have had Mr. Bigony as sponsor: Bob Masters, president: Bob Galyean, vice president: Tom Haeussler, secretary: and Bill May, treasurer. At the beginning of the year the club had its induction service. lt wasn't all work and no play for the boys because they had joint meetings with the Girl Reserves, swimming parties at the Y. M. C. A., and a basketball team. Bob Masters, Bob Galyean and lack Whitesell attended the Hi-Y convention at Columbus. The boys also did their part in the scrap drive by driving trucks and load- ing and unloading the scrap. Once a month the members attended church as a group. Major Brueckner ot Wright Field and Mr. Bill Young of the Y. M. C. A. were guest speakers at two of the meetings. Major Brueckner spoke on Aircraft Production. A group meeting with other schools was held at Fairmont, March 27, with Reverend Torgersen as speaker. 14666164 A few years ago the Grail Girls was a part of the Girl Reserves but the membership became so large that one club would not take care ot all the members. As a result of this: the freshman and the sophomores became a separate club and called themselves the Grail Girls. This year they had Miss Herboltzheimer as sponsor with Nancy Bussard as president, Peggy Becker, vice president: Ellen Good, secretary: and Lolly Rudy, treasurer. The group started this year with a scavenger hunt after which candy bars were given as prizes tor the winners. At Christmas time the girls collected money to help the U. S. O. decorate Christmas trees for the service men. They collected enough to decorate three trees. It was about thirty-five dollars. For the March 7 meeting, Miss Jennings was guest speaker. Her topic was Boy and Girl Relations. At one ot the meetings, Miss Reed talked on Good Points in Character. On May 5, they had a formal for the members. Elton Dale and his orchestra played. The committee for the dance was Dot Daily, Lolly Rudy, PeQQY Becker, Mary Lobo, Ann Haeussler and Shirley Ball. Compliments oi CORNER DRUG STORE Drugs -:- Ice Cream -:- Nuts ...gg- QM The Girl Reserves under the direction of Miss Jennings have had an active year. The Girl Reserve is fundamentally a service club. This year they made scrapbooks for Barny Community Center and kept the school Honor Roll up to date. They also gave the kiddies a party at Christmas time. The social program for the year included: initiation, joint meetings with the Hi-Y, a formal dance, G. R. Church Service, a birthday party, and an early morning hike. At one joint meeting with the Hi-Y, Chesta Fulrner spoke on Boy and Girl Relationships. The Girl Reserve Conference was held at Miamisburg this year on Febru- ary 19. The speaker for this occasion was Reverend Harvey Hahn. The officers for this year were: president, lean Woods: vice president, Phyllis Gricep secretary, Lois jane Rice: and treasurer, Dorothy Naher. The purpose of this association is to promote interest in activities, scholar- ship, fellowship, and to improve the girls mentally, physically, and socially. The girls earned their letters this year by taking part in volley ball, basketball, baseball, tennis, archery, and soccer. They could also hike, bicycle, and obey the health rules to get their points. Five hundred points are required. G. A. A. started the year with initiation at the mound. Then several play days followed and also a joint meeting with the Hi-Y. At one meeting the city nurse spoke on health rules.

Students are elected to the club if they have participated in plays and are voted in by high school students who are already members. The Thespians presented a one act play, A Christmas Party at the Reformed Church. Make-up was studied by the members and throughout the year the Thes- pians have helped make-up the casts for the school plays. On March 17 the Thespians presented the Magnificent Obsession from the novel by Lloyd Douglas. The play centers around the idea that you can do anything you wish if you really Want to do it. Dr. Merrick came upon this idea in a lournal of Dr. Hudson's after his death and it enabled him to save the life and win the love of Dr. Hudson's Wife, Helen. The cast included: Bud McCray, Bobby Merrick: Mary Ann Fry, Helen Hudson: Robert Masters, Dr. Hudson: lean Woods, Nancy Ashford: Barbara Hickman, loyce Hudson: Bob Galyean, Monty Brent: Naomi Winters, Marian Dawson: Albert Horn, lack Dawson: Paul Schultz, Dr. Pyle: Helen Lind, Martha: Dorothy Naher, Mrs. Wickes: lames Spencer, Perry. The play was directed by Miss Iennings. The officers for 1944 were: president, Mary Ann Fry: vice president, Phyllis Schmidt: treasurer, Thomas Haeussler: and secretary, Lois lane Rice. ' Wann acdetg Membership to the National Honor Society is based upon scholarship, leadership, character, and participation in school activities during the four years of high school. , Fifteen per cent of the senior class is eligible for membership and receives the National Honor Society Pin. Miamisburg became a member of the society in 1923. The National Honor Society Pin is a lighted torch mounted on a plain background. At the end of the first semester of the senior year the upper twenty-five per cent of the graduating class is ranked according to their scholastic ability and participation in activities. The students in the upper twenty-five per cent then meet and rate each other's character. This is also done by the teachers. After the activity and leadership, character, and scholastic ratings are made, they are totaled and those students ranking highest and in the upper fifteen per cent become members of the National Honor Society. At the end of the year an assembly is held for offering awards. At this time the members of the National Honor Society sign their names in the roll book. The members chosen for this year are: Mary Ann Fry, Cecelia Gatts, Clif- ford Gebhart, Thomas Haeussler, Albert Horn, William May, Onnolee Morris, Dorothy Naher, William Shade, loan Staley, and lean Woods. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK 4. Libraria is an honor club. Students wishing to join are required to have an A- average in English for two semesters and no grade lower than C in any subject. The club enrolled Miamisburg in the Picture of the Month Club at the Art Institute. Two students are allowed to go to the Art Institute each week for classes in art appreciation. They also bought stage furniture to be used for plays and provided slip covers for it. This year has been a busy one for them as they had initiation, a Halloween party and a Christmas party. They also sponsored a skating party at German- town and presented the play entitled, Billy's Goat. The officers for this year were president, Onnolee Morris: vice president, Bill Kerth: secretary, Paula Dudley: treasurer, Tom Ross. Those chosen for next year were president, Bill Kerthy vice president, Paul Schultz: secretary, Barbara Durr: treasurer, Ioe Schell. The sponsors are Miss Reed and Miss Garster. ' ' Sandy The National Athletic Scholarship Society was organized in l925 to create better sportsmanship, stimulate a desire for balanced training, foster high scholarship among boy athletes, and develop more outstanding leaders.

He must meet the following requirements: He must have an athletic letter which he earned from participation in a minor or major sport, show good citizenship and sportsmanship, and have an average of C plus for three consecutive semesters. Bob Reed became a member in his sophomore year. He has been an out- standing basketball and football player. The new members are: Charles Boyer, Gail Gephart, Ray Gephart and Charles Laughlin. Charles Doc Laughlin is a former student of West Carrollton. Doc played guard in basketbal and halfback in football. Charles Boyer and Ray Gephart won their letters in football.

Dixie Highway -33- 46 . To bring closer relationship between the teachers and to sponsor activities for the benefit of the school is the purpose of the Student Council. This organization was organized in 1939 by Mr. Young. At the beginning of the year the Student Council decided to change the honor roll system. All students having B in all subjects or higher and having an average of 13 would be in Group I. Those students who do not have any grades below B- and having an average of 11.5 would be in Group II. At the suggestion of Mr. Millard a system of patroling the halls was set up. One student is stationed in the upper hall and one in the lower hall to examine excuses of students who leave rooms and to direct visitors about the building. Instead of the usual visitor's day the council tried something new. The parents of the students attended school one evening and went to all the classes that their bewildering offspring attend. The Student Council aided in obtaining a location for the Teen Tavern. They also visited recreation centers in neighboring towns. At the beginning of the year Miss Langley acted as the faculty advisor for the council. Upon her resignation from the teaching staff, Miss Traxler be- came the new advisor. The officers for this year are: president, Don Rostg vice president, Kenny Amlinp secretary, Bill Walters: treasurer, Bud Simonton. gmac! The band was led this year by Miss Ruth Harrod, who has been doing a splendid job since Mr. Peitier left us. The members continued playing for all the home games except the one with Monroe. They participated in the dedication of the Miamisburg School District Honor Roll and marched in the Memorial Day parade. A Spring Festival given on May 9 was another accomplishment of the band with the assistance of the girls' choir. The band consists of forty-two members. It has retained those three attrac- tive drum maiorettes: Virginia Reehl, Ioan Staley, and Mary lane Cook. lim Spencer, the head drum major and assistant director, is still the State Baton Champ. We are very proud of him and his ability. The last appearance of the Miamisburg High School Band during the 1944 school year was at the commencement exercises of the senior class in May. Courtesy ot THE SCHAEFFER OIL CO. -34- date The first Blue and White was printed in 1923 with Dorothy Kinderdine as editor and Miss Mary Parker Brown as sponsor. It was a small mimeographed paper more in the form of a magazine. Now the Blue and White consists of four pages and is much in the form of the larger newspapers. The staff saw to it that twice each month a 9Vz inch by 16 inch paper was available for all activity students and anyone else who wanted a copy. The staff sponsored the Thespian play, Magnificent Obsession. They were in charge of the sales of tickets and the publicity. Miss Kimmel was sponsor and the staff was: Dorothy Daily, lim Lenz, Ernest Leiter, Robert Korn, Margaret Garlaugh, Vivian Leiter, Bob Masters, Joseph Doty, Betty Zechar, Ioyce Whitehair, Helen Schroeder, Ellen Good, and Willadine Ballard. I ew I 5 I ' I The Miamisburg High School Triple Trio composed of Betty Allen, Barbara Durr, Patty Fry-first Sopranos: Polly Garner, Barbara Hickman, Dorothy Naher-N second sopranosp Mary Ann Fry, Mary Windhorst, Shirley Schneider-altosy has sung at numerous places during the year of 1944. Wherever the girls sang, they were greatly appreciated. At the beginning of the year, when things were just getting started, the girls were willing to sing anywhere they were asked. They established quite a reputation for co-operativeness throughout the year. Some of the events in which they participated were: chapel programs, a patriotic program, several P. T. A. programs, Vivace Club and Civic Club meet- ings, Hi-Y convention, and at the annual Sunrise Service held at the Mound on Easter morning. The night of the Libraria Play they sang Stardust accom- panied by Elton Dale and his orchestra. Miss Harrod, their director, sponsored a Spring Festival Music Program at which the girls sang a number of selections. The big thrill of the year came when the girls along with their accompanist, Carol Koch, received a second division ranking when they sang in the district music contest held at Westminister Presbyterian Church on April 5. Since their competition consisted chiefly of Dayton school groups, the girls did unusually well. The only school that outranked them was Dayton Kiser. The Girls' Choir has completed its first year as an organization. They sang for several chapel services and at the high school Christmas program. They assisted the band in its concert on May 9, and also participated in the annual Baccalaureate Service. The girls are under the direction of Miss Ruth Ann Harrod and seem to be a very promising group. Courtesy of BURN'S I. G. A. MARKET .-35-.

THE MIAMISBURG ICE 6. COAL 602 N. Fourth SI. tag- On March 17, the Thespian Club presented the play Magnificent Ob- session. This play was the first serious presentation given by the club. A young playboy named Bobby Merrick just returned from an all-night party with Ioyce Hudson and decided to go out sailing even though a storm was approaching. At the same time Dr. Hudson returned from an important brain operation in a nearby city. He had his mind set on taking a quick plunge. Incidents took place that resulted in Dr. Hudson's death and the saving of Bobby Merrick's life. Mrs. Hudson decided to take a trip to Europe for everywhere she turned, she saw Bobby Merrick, the man she hated. She returned unexpectedly inasmuch as her remittance from her stocks had failed to arrive. Further investigations by Bobby Merrick, now Dr. Merrick, revealed that Monty Brent, Helen Hudson's cousin and also the husband of Ioyce Hudson, had appropriated her stocks. Dr. Merrick used his money to replace the stocks, but Helen Hudson, enraged, rushed off in a fury and had an accident which necessitated a delicate brain operation possible only by the steady hand of Dr. Merrick. The operation was a success. Helen Hudson found herself in love with Dr. Merrick and the play ended.

This was the beginning of publicity for the Libraria play called Billy's Goat. Henry Carter, a financial giant, was having trouble with his wife and two daughters. Billy, who came to sell Mr. Carter some radio time, stayed and be- came father of the family while Mr. Carter took a much-needed vacation. Mr. Ainsworth and Mr. Hollinghead were two suitors of the Carter girls. Miss Cool and Miss Davis were Mrs. and Mr. Carter's secretaries respectively. The cast of characters were: Clifford Gebhart, Carol Koch, Dorothy Daily, Grace Shackelford, Marian Hayslett, .Margaret Garlaugh, lean Woods, Ioe Schell, Paul Schultz, and Walter Dalton. The advisors were Miss Reed and Miss Garster. Too Old for Christmas was the play chosen by the eighth grade. The story was of a boy, Iack Martin, who thought he had outgrown the age when he should be interested in Christmas. His mother and father finally consented to his idea of not having Christmas, but continued to speak of what they had done the year before that they couldn't do this year. A1l's well that ends well they say: and the play ended that way. lack found out he really wasn't too old. The characters were played by Frank Starkey, Ianet Ebright, Roselyn Harris, Iames Abbott, Maurice Smalley, Richard Beals, Marilyn Milne, Betty King, Ralph Leis, Virginia Balzer. The class sponsors were Mrs. Schmitz and Miss Herbolzheimer. Best Wishes to the Class of '44 . . . STAR CITY HARDWARE 6. SEED CO. Hardware -:- Seeds -:- Paint 110.- The Viking Gridders started out their season with almost all new or inexperienced men. They won the first two games which were non-league games from West Carrollton and Franklin in that order. We lost the next three games which were league games and then came up against Monroe, a tough team in its own right, with whom the Vikes tied the score at l3-13. Due to injuries and more bad breaks, Miamisburg lost the last four league games and completed the season which, although not too successful, provided a chance for the Vikings to get some very valuable experience. Coach Ctto has high hopes for next year because all of the letter nien but two will probably be back and the team will have older and more experienced players, a tact which bodes no good for opposing teams. The eighteenth annual football banquet was held this year in a slightly different manner. Due to the war it was called a dessert and only dessert was served. Captain lohn Epps, former coach of Fairmont, was the speaker. The letter rnen this year are: Seniors Clarence Lambert: luniors Kendall Anilin, lames Barton, Robert Beckett, Charles Boyer, Robert Kehrle, Charles Laughlin, Martin McCray, Leonard Overholser, Robert Reed, Eugene Weber, Dale McMurchyy Sophornores George Baver, Charles Davis, Ray Cephart, lerry Heil, Gene Martin, lanies Penwell, Gene Purkey, Robert Suttinan, Glenville Thonias, Russell Wellnieir.

As a whole, the Burg had one of the best teams in the league, but it seemed we received a lot of bad breaks. We just couldn't seem to win the games that counted. Many of the teams not in the league, that were considered stronger than the Vikings, were beaten in fine style, by fast playing and fine shooting. With Reed and Amlin at forward positions, Mills at center, and Laughlin and McCray as guards, we had a fine combination. When Brockman left for the Navy and Gephart went to college, the gaps were ably filled by substitutes. M. H. S. is proud to say that Bob Reed tied for first place in the M. V. L., with eighty-three points to his credit in six games. Miamisburg drew Chaminade in the first game of the district tournament. The Vikings downed Chaminade 39 to 26. ln the next game, Fairview was the stumbling block in the quest for the state championship. The reserve team also won more than half their games, showing good play- ing and teamwork. From the reserve squad, the places left by Lambert and Barkalow, the two seniors, will be ably filled.
