It is with deep regret that we have lost them as instructors, but with grat- itude in our hearts that we may still retain some of the lessons they taught us and the friendships we have formed.

A fine group of student actors and actresses, coached by Mrs. Dunbar, made a worthy presentation of the play. The plot of the play centered about Cousin George at whose home The Green Vine , the entire action took place. The spirit of the deceased Cousin George had returned and he tried to help give his young people a new outlook on life and a new start, One by one with the help of Ctusin George, they awakened to see their short-comings and defeats, and each in turn determined to make a new start and find his right place in life.

Charles Kerrick It-i JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Junior Class play, A Ready-Made Family , was exceptionally good this year. A good crowd attended this play and it was liked by everyone. The plot was excellent. Henry Turner and Agnes Martyn are married, each without the knowledge that they had stepchildren. Wlhen they do find out, their children do everything to prevent them from staying married because they think their respective step-parent has married for money. After several hair-raising escapades on the part of the children, the play came to a happy ending for everyone concerned.

K e n neth Hobbs I-1 SENIOR PLAY The Senior play, Here Comes Charlie , was presented Friday, April 18th, in the high school auditorium. The play was ably directed by Mrs. Haworth. Things began moving rapidly when Larry Elliott 1Curtis Youngl got a telegram in- forming him he is being sent an orphan to care for. The orphan Charlie fMarjorie Farrisj is being brought to him by Alec Twiggs CLeonard Pricel from the Ozark Mountains. Ted Hartley CMax I-Iammockj, Larry's college pal, doesn't think much of the plan. Larry's Aunt Fanny CBettie Gahleyj objects seriously to the idea of the place being turned into an orphan's home. Things are complicated further when Larry's fiancee, Vivian Smythe Kersey CMona Growj refuses to marry a man with a ward. The scheming mother of Vivian CBetty Correllj and her bored son, Mortimer CEugene Juddj add further comedy to the play by their plans to marry just anyone who has money. Tim McGrill, the policeman CRaymond Laflinj looses too much time making love to Nora, the maid CElise Hertigj, sure, and they're both Irish ! i-I THE RAMPARTS WE WATCH The afternoon of December the nineteenth, we all enjoyed a matinee of The Ramparts We Watch. This picture portrayed the American nation at large and the thoughts and ideals of American fathers and mothers, sons and daughters during and before the World War of 1914. Included in the matinee was a propaganda picture sent out by Hitler which was entitled Baptism of Fire . This picture was put out with the purpose in mind of causing panic and fear among the citizens of the countries in which it was shown. It was all very interesting and educational. A11 who attended were very much impressed by it.

'Ihey did their part, and some times more, in making everyone feel peppy. With the help of the other members of the associated students and faculty, they conducted many successful pep assemblies. I-1 F RESHMAN IN ITIATION The Freshmen must have thought Friday the 13th the most unlucky day of the year when the Seniors enjoyed their day of ruling. The Freshmen were ordered to wear their clothes wrong side out, green ribbons and plenty of make-up and to obey all wishes of the Seniors. During the afternoon the remainder of the student body enjoyed watching the Seniors put the Freshmen through a Kangaroo Court. Even the new teachers had to go through it. Mr. Sower played a trombone solo, Miss McManimie told a bed time story and Mr. Foster gave a pep talk. 1-I JUNIOR CARNIVAL The Junior Class, under the supervision of Mr. Reed Sower, sponsored a Carnival in the Parma High School Gymnasium on November 29, 1940. Confetti, hats and horns were given to each person as they entered. Many games and concessions were held and lunch was served. The music and dancing added a great deal to the merriment of the scene. This Carnival was a great success and a good sum of money was raised toward funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet. I-1 MOVIE PROJECTOR AND TURN-TABLE At the beginning of the first semester, the school district purchased a movie projector. It was used in the grade school as well as in the high school for class instruction. The purpose of the projector is to give the students a better understanding of what and why they are studying a subject. A turn-table to use with the projector was purchased by the student body to help provide music at high school dances. -1:-1 HIGH SCHOOL DANCES Rolling back the school year reveals many happy and pleasant dances. The season's social activities began with a merry dance on the evening of Friday, September 13th in the Gym. This concluded the Freshman Initiation, and enabled the new students to become better acquainted with the upper classmen. The football boys entered the social whirl by featuring a dance after their annual Football Banquet on Friday evening, November 8, at the I. O. O. F. hall. Just before Christmas vacation as a climax to hard work and study and to relieve our tired minds, a pleasant afternoon of dancing was enjoyed. At almost all of our dances this year, we used the turntable for music, and found it successful in every way. One of the most enjoyable evenings of the year was the dance concluding the Basketball season and a Farewell to Mr. Sower, who left for the army. Punch was served and at a late hour Mr. Sower was presented a gift from the Junior Class. The Junior-Senior Prom was the highlight of the year, to which an invitaion was extended to all classess. THANKSGIVING PROGRAM On the afternoon of November the twentieth, the Senior Class gave a program in keeping with the season. Raymond Laflin acted as spokesman by announcing each number on the program. Talks concerning Thanksgiving, its keeping, origination, and reasons for being thankful were given by Ray Laflin, Pearl Personette, Sam Smyser and Mrs. Haworth, whose talk concluded the program. Mr. Sayre gave a reading, the public speaking class gave some choral readings, two humorous readings were given by Mrs. Dunbar and Esther Osborne gave two short musical readings. A brass quartet composed of Mr. Sower, Emanuel Rubins, Eugene Judd and Charles Kerrick played some selections. The Senior girls' sextet sang two numbers accompanied by Renabel Graham, and Leonard Price sang Beautiful Dreamer with Bertha Jean Harvey at the piano. School was dismissed for the Thanksgiving vacation, and we all went home with thankful hearts and thoughts of a turkey feast and all the trimmings on the next day. 1-1 CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The Christmas program this year should long be remembered in our school because it was then that we got our trophy case. Instead of buying some foolish present to ex- change, everyone put their money in the old trophy case to help buy a new one. Then everyone enjoyed a beautiful and quiet program with music by Glee Clubs and String Ensemble and a talk by the Reverend Schmidt. 33-1 ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY PROGRAMS Two units representing the National Society of Zoology presented two programs on March 14 and 21. The first of these had to do with a demonstration of different species of bird life and the possibilities in training birds. The second program dealt with an exhibi- tion of various forms of reptile life. After the second program the Biology students were allowed to ask questions of the person in charge of the program. i-I NATIONAL ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS MISSISSIPPI JUBILEE SINGERS The Mississippi Jubilee Singers from Piney Woods, Mississippi, entertained a large crowd with Negro spirituals and readings in Negro dialect, at Parma High School September 27, 1940. MURIEL GOODSPEED Muriel Goodspeed, who was at one time America's most talented girl, was introduced to the students and faculty of Parma High School on October 15, 1940. She had won sixty-five different National contests in the field of art, music, dancing, dramatics, beauty, and several others. We were entertained by her telling the story of her life, her singing, playing and a reading. CHEMURGY Frank Preston Johnson, a newspaperman, lecturer, and scientist, presented a very interesting program November 15, 1940. He explained some of the ways in which new products are being made from formerly waste products, such as artifical rubber, fabrics made of glass fiber made from skimmed milk, and many other types of useful products including several types of plastics. The program was very educational, especialy to those planning to enter the field of science. LIQUID AIR The Wonders of Liquid Air presented to us on January 14, 1941, consisted of a demonstration on the properties and uses of air when it is changed to the 'liquid form. It was one of the most iinteresting scientific programs ever given in this school. THE BOWER VARIETY PROGRAM The Bower Variety Program entertained the students, factulty and visitors the eve- ning of March 18, 1941, at the Parma High School. Mr. Bower, the ventriloquiest, brought Oscar, the dummy, Susie, the apeg and Mr. McDonald, the vibra-harp artist. The pro- gram proved to be quite novel. HAWAIIAN PROGRAM The Freeland's Royal Hawaiians entertained the students of Parma High, April 9, 1941, by telling stories of life on the picture island of Hawaii, the Aloha Land, and by singing some of the beautiful melodies of the Hawaiians. ,-ll PART II Activities and Organizations , 1, ., ,H ,, - .1 PEP-BAND During the first semester and until March 21, Mr. Sower had charge of the band.

It is a field rich with opportunities. Nothing could be more instructive or could yield dividends of greater cultural value, than the keen application of extensive work in debatable questions of the state.

FOOTBALL BANQUET One of the big social events for Parma High School on November 15th, when the members of the football team were guests of honor at the I. O. O. F. hall. The delicious banquet was prepared by the Home Economic II class under the supervision of Mrs. Haworth, assisted by the mothers of the players. Guests included the football boys and their girl friends, and members of the high school faculty. The entertainment during the dinner hour was led by Captain Max Hammock, toast- master.

Yells concluded the program after which dancing was enjoyed by all members cf the high school. 15-1 BASEBALL SEASON Parma's baseball team ranked second in the western division of the Class B District 3, last year. Wilder ranked first with only one defeat in the entire season. Represented in our district are the schools of: Wilder, Marsing, Homedale, Roswell, Notus and Parma. The schedule is played in a round-robin stye and the team with the highestl percentage of games won will play the winner of the Eastern division for district championship. Wilder has the highest percentage this year, as last.

HIGH SCHOOL CHEER SONG True to High School colors waving, Once again we're in the fray: Now it's up to us to cheer boys, For the men who play today. While they play the game they're fighting, Fight for every inch of ground, Onward, they go along! Cheer them with yell and song. Onward, forward, march to victory: Rah! Onward, forward, march to victory, Rah! 'Chorsz Onward they go along, Cheer them with yell and song, Smash thru' the line boys, You've just begun boys, Three cheers for our team: Hoo-ray-ray-ray-ray-ray! Onward they go along, Cheer them with yell and song, Pile up the runs boys, You've just begun boys, Onward, go onward, to victory today!
