Of the forty who started only thirteen are still with us. We passed through the first few years just as everyone else did—learning our time tables, long division, parts of speech, geography, and taking part in operettas, entertainments, and such, receiving our share of discipline in the third grade and profiting from the influence of the checkered apron and the slipper in the fifth. Then, before we knew it, we were upstairs. In all the newness and confusion, we were rather obscure, but in the tenth grade we came out from our obscurity and established our reputation by throwing the Kid Party. All along we have been well represented in athletics and in the musical departments. In our sophomore year we had the largest percentage of representatives in the Scholarship Club, a number of leads in the operetta, The Mikado ' and the high school play, Growing Pains. Also, we had the honor of having the high school string trio in our class. This year, as juniors, we were brave enough to step forward and suggest the Student Council, a suggestion which met with success. We are also credited with the successful Home-coming Dance and are planning a bigger and better Junior-Senior Prom. fifteen

Bob Stinchcomb—An important man of the news, not a news reporter— just a news boy. Mr. Stinchcomb delivers the local paper daily, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Sundays. Sophie Seitz—A famous artist of the century, who has produced beautiful drawings, oil paintings, portraits, and statues. Sophie has reached the height of her profession now; she runs a comic strip in the Child Life Magazine. Freddie Baker—Local gentleman who has made himself famous by his radio entertainments. He is known the world over as the Cowboy of the Hills . His listeners say he's from the hills of Kentucky, but to us they're the hills of Leroy. Winifred Carney—Young lady now employed in a department store in Cleveland, Woolworth's 5 10. Miss Carney's main objective in working here is to supply her boy friend with pins and trinkets bearing her initials. Robert Brainard—A dealer in automobiles—Dodges, of course. Bob has his sales talk well learned and repeats it constantly—day and night. He tells us that he has just one trouble in his line of business—people dodge him instead of buying Dodges. Cora Goldsmith—A famous preacher. Influenced by a minister who lived in the Goldsmith home during Cora's younger years, Cora turned to the religious side of life. Miss Goldsmith now conducts services every Sunday morning in the Goldsmith Temple on West Main Street, Perry, Ohio, U. S. A. She delivers the same sermon each Sunday, the title of which is Eat, Drink and Be Merry, for Tomorrow Is Washday. Joe Laurie—Little need be said of this lofty personage; tall, dark, and gruesome. Being the present president of our United States, he has become famous throughout the country. He is known to most as the Abe Lincoln of this age. But instead of Friends, Romans, and Countrymen, lend me your ears------. President Laurie addresses us, Listen here, you apes. Hilda Means—A noted author of fibs, fables, and fakes. Her latest masterpiece is How to Win Boys and Influence Men. Charlotte Root—One who has earned for herself the title of Mother among approximately one hundred children. She runs an orphanage in Paines-vilie, Ohio. Raymond Garvin—-A local boy who has reached high fame at the radio station WICA, Ashtabula. Every noon he blows the little whistle, which is a time signal to remind people to eat. La Verne Heil—Our promising typist, who has a position as private secretary to a business man. She not only takes minutes; but also hours—in arranging his tie and combing his hair. Wilma Hall—The little miss who couldn't go to Florida with her elders because we all missed her so. She has finally had a big, big trailer built which will hold all of Perry and some of the clay of Leroy. So any winter now you should be prepared to find yourself under Floridan sunshine because she's going to take us with her! fourteen

With the next seven steps we learned the fundamentals of knowledge. During the course of the years most of the beginners, in fact all but six, left, but there always were others to take their places. Taking our freshman step proved very successful. Our boys turned out to be the regulars of the Reserve Basketball Team. We had members in the Scholarship Club and Silver P . Our sophomore step also proves successful. This year, besides the great basketball players, we also have outstanding football players. Several of them are letterman. We have added members to the Scholarship Club, and we have two representatives in the new Perry High School Student Council. We have two more steps to climb and we will strive to make a success of everything we attempt. sixteen
