PAST -- On one bright sun-shiny day in September. l928, forty-eight small boys and girls en- rolled in the first grade. Then from the first grade, where they taught us the alphabet, we passed on through the eighth, with each year a new and tougher subject before us. When we entered high school they tacked that undignified title of greenies to our names. But this didn't get us down, nor did it make us fear our upper classmen, at least not very much. It was this year that one of our students, Nellie Arbaugh, left us to enter Shaw High School in Cleveland. At our first class meeting with Mr. Earl D. Wisard as our advisor, we elected Robert Netzly, presi- dent: lack Lutz, vice president: Elsie Iecm Beem, secretary: and Hilda Deal, treasurer. Thus we ended the year with an enrollment of fifty-two. We now rise to the rank of Sophomore, with an attendance of fifty giggling boys and girls. With Miss Nydegger as our ad- visor: Rufus Miller, president: Robert Netzly, vice president: Wanda Fair, secretary: and Marjorie Grimm, treasurer. We proceeded to our Iunior year losing Edna Wagner, and gaining Frank Bankovich. By the time we enrolled as Juniors, so many activities were tossed in our faces, that it seemed we were back again in that hazy freshman year. Among these were the purchasing of our jackets, selling candy and ice cream at games, and the biggest event, the Junior-Senior Banquet. Then our Iunior play called Intruding on Horace was a huge success. This year our officers were Hilda Deal, president: Elsie lean Beem, vice president: Wanda Fair, secretary: and Robert Netzly, treasurer. We were very sorry to lose Phyllis Gruse, who left us to graduate with the Class of 1939. This year with Miss Drawe as our advisor, we com- pleted the year with fifty members. Now we drop our silly pranks and knuckle down to our senior year with a new view toward the purpose of education. After electing Hilda Deal, president: Phil Keller, vice president: Wanda Fair, secretary: and Grace Handrich, treasurer, we selected our rings. Elsie Iean Beem was chosen Editor- in-chief of the Annual Staff, and she ap- pointed Virginia Hartzell, Margery Simler, Iohn Adams, Olive Speicher, Margaret Weidman, lean Marchand. Marjorie Grimm, Ben Pyle, Wanda Fair, Harriet Doll, Miriam Hockstroh, Helen Hilderbrand, lack. Lutz, Robert Netzly, Harry Myers and Phil Keller as her assistants. The Staff presented a play entitled The Nutt Family, directed by Mr. Wisard. We chose the violet as our class flower, to correspond with our class colors, blue and gold: and our motto: We have crossed the bay: the ocean lies before us. During this year we held quite a few hilarious hard-time parties. On January 9 we had our pictures taken at the Waltz Studio, and spent the rest of the day roaming the streets of Canton. Then, our name cards and an- nouncements were decided upon and now we are eagerly awaiting our graduation day. We also gave a Senior Class Play entitled Antics of Andrew under the direc- tion of Miss Helen Bremer, the class advisor. Now with our happiest years past we enter a new group, the Alumni. -Rea Timney. Compliments of Kanner's, Men'.s Leading Clothing Store, Massillon, Ohio

FUTURE For days I trudged the streets of the Metropolis seeking food and shelter. The weather was unsufferably cold and damp, and the whole world was strange to my benumbed senses. As I walked slowly along, the world grew fainter and fainter and after hearing the wild screech of brakes I remembered no more. The first knowledge I had of being alive was the pungent odor of anaesthetics, the murmur of hushed voices and the sight of two figures in spotless white bending over me. I then came to the conclusion that I was in a hospital. My deductions were cor- rect for I soon learned through those two competent nurses, Elsie lean Beem and Miriam Rockstroh, that I had been in a very serious automobile accident. After a very nice chat with these old school chums, I learned that it was through the ambulance driver, Harry Myers, Ir., who had recognized me, that those two nurses were assigned to my case. After a few weeks of convalescing, my doctor, Phil Keller, informed me that I was well enough to leave. But where could I go? I had no home and no friends which I could contact. Then upon my request my two nurses contacted the Editor of the Metro- Times, Robert Netzly, who gave me a job as Society Editor on his newspaper. During one of my assignments in a very fashionable night club owned by Dan Debock, which is frequently visited by the Society Debs, I came upon The Mrs. Harriet Doll Stull and Grace Spangler, who were enjoying a private tete-a-tete. Upon their invitation I joined them and we spent the evening discussing old times and listen- ing 'to Dale Resh and his dancing trio- Timney, Swank and Hilderbrand, who pro- vided us with a very superb floor show. When I took my leave, the doorman, Ralph Wagner, hailed a taxi for me and the driver turned out to be Earl Tuning. On another occasion while I was out gathering news I came across Ben Pyle, Sports writer of the Metro-Times, who was on his way to interview Miss Eileen Evans. the new 1950 Tennis Champion. He invited me to go with him, which I did. After the interview he took me to dinner at the Ritz. Our waitress was Ruth Van Kirk, who in- formed us that lean Marchand was the dietitian there. Her food was very delectible and well planned. After dinner Ben took me to Metro-Hall. Virginia Hartzell, piano soloist, and Olive Speicher, vocal soloist, were the main features of the program. We had a very nice time. One Saturday morning I went to the Beauty Shoppe, Go in looking Grimm: come out looking Fair, and after a thorough treatment of shampoo, finger-wave, facial and manicure I proceeded to a baseball game at Metro Park. Lefty Lutz, who was billed for the day, is still at the top in pitch- ing. While there I came in contact with Doris Mummertz, now a noted Welfare worker, and Martha Reem, a Scout leader. After the game we took a drive through the country for relaxation and stopped at a roadside stand where there were apples for sale. We found Clifford Bixler, who ex- plained that he was running this stand for the Oakleaf's-Sterling and Grace. That evening we attended the Roxy Hall owned by Iohn Adams, which was featuring Don Iaime Edwards, lecturer on the Scientific Problems of the Universe. The following Sunday I took the Trans- Atlantic Planet for Europe where I would attend the new style shows in Paris. On the plane I found Margrit Grillon, going to Switzerland: Ruth Secrest, on her way to London, and lack Owens, a Historian, and his secretary, Margery Simler, on their way to the ancient ruins in Egypt. We were all made very comfortable on our trip by the efficient Air Hostess, Margaret Weidman, who informed us that our lives were in the hands of those very competent pilots, Rufus Miller, and Bud Shipbaugh. -Hilda Deal.
