EI-IERMAN FRITSCH The past four years have been Ones of faithful work, and many successes and disappoint- ments for the class of nineteen fifteen. As we look back we find our Opinions now are rather differ- ent from what they were in nineteen eleven. At that time we hoped the four years of high school study would soon be Over, but now we wish instead that they were just beginning so we might again have the pleasant experiences that have been Ours. The past year, we hope, has been the best of our course, since in the new building we have had more convenient and better facilities for carrying onour work than in previous years. The class of nineteen fifteen can be justly proud of being the first to graduate from our new building, the finest public building in Piqua. VVith this year, we hope, a new era will begin in P. H. S., one that will increase the already high standard of efficiency in our school. lt would seem appropriate, that on the completion of the sixth volume of the Piquonian we thank those, who, in one way or another, have helped in issuing the paper. VVe wish to thank the faculty who have Oversight of the work, and who have aided in making our paper all that it is. VVhatever success has met our efforts is due almost entirely to their aid in over- seeing the work and correcting it. We wish to thank also the merchants and business people who have so willingly aided by their advertisements, and the pupils of P. H. S., and all Others who have contributed in any way to the H Piquonian. As graduation day draws near and as we think of the evening when we shall receive our diplomas, we look forward with anxiety into the future. Many suggestions as to the line of work which we shall choose after leaving school now come to us. Some few of us, perhaps, have already decided on our choice. In making our choice, we must consider that the greatest question is not, what shall we choose, but, shall we he successful in our choice. And this question we cannot answer until we have tried. If success is slow in coming, and if we feel that our choice has been work for which we are not fitted, or which we can never enjoy, then it is up to us to look elsewhere. Things which seem too hard or too big for us to attempt will be easily mastered if we only have the nerve and determination to try.

THE PIQUONIAN 27 Down the aisle now sped an usher and when he turned to come back I almost fell to the floor when I saw it was my old friend Skinny Wilson. Forrest says he enjoys his new position better than farming and he told me that he was a silent partner to a deal by which this theatre was to become his in return for an unpaid debt. The house was thrown into darkness and the performance began. The first film was a news pictorial presented by the Hirt Radio-film corporation. The first picture showed Mayor Wolcott of Lena breaking the ground for Lena's new ball park. Chester looked quite natural in the pick and shovel role. Next came a picture of the former Miss Helen Hetherington and her husband, Duke W. W. Worke embarking on their European honeymoon. The next picture showed President French of the Tin Medal Flower Company, delivering an address to the striking Millers' Union. Mr. French always was headed toward the presidental chair and I was glad to see that he had realized his ambitions. The next film was a Radio-play by Miss Strohmeier. The cast of the play was composed of several of my classmates of the class of '15. The part of the leading lady, a poor country girl,was taken by Myrl McDowellg that of her cr-r-rule stepmother was played by Margaret Hunter. Mr. Holmes took the part of the hero who rescued her stepmother and the heroine from the bonds of Rudolph , the rent-collector. This last part was played very effectively by Mr. Henry Wallbrunn who gained a great deal of experience in collecting while treasurer of the class of '15. Marie Alexander played the part of the hero's mother who turned him away from home when she found he was to marry a poor country lass. Florence Ellermann portrayed the role of the forsaken city sweetheart of Mr. Holmes. This play was going along nicely until there was a snap and the film broke. The operator stepped out and to my infinite astonishment I saw it was Alfred Reck i During the intermission I looked about me and saw a commotion in one of the aisles. A well built woman seemed to be quarreling with her husband over where they would sit. The usher settled the dispute and when the people turned toward me I was surprised to see that the woman was Clara Lobensteiner and the little man was Garret Kirby. Poor Garret, alas, you always seem to have your foot in it. The pictures now began again but some people behind me kept talking so loud that they drowned out the clicking of the machine thereby destroying the effect of the films. I looked around and there was Ruth Maier relating the latest bit of gossip to Stella Alexander. When they saw and recognized me they became quiet and I again looked at the screen. The next film was entitled Ideals Realized. The first picture was Hanna Morton sur- rounded by suitors all clamoring for her hand. The next picture portrayed William Schoen sitting at a desk with tubes attached to his pockets into which money was rolling. The next picture showed Freda Cron in a barnyard feeding the chickens. After this was a scene of Edith May receiving a degree in college. The picture changed to one of a wedding, the bride in the cere- mony having a great resemblence to Hazel Kuhnle. After this came a picture of Helen Kopf with a huge card on which the grades were all A's and the tardy marks were 0's. The last scene showed Elizabeth Harkrader spanking a small girl in a little country schoolhouse, and I could have sworn that the small girl was Dorothea Gano whose one ambition in school seemed to be never to grow up.
