Q mi ANNOUNCING The 1939 PIQUONIAN UONIAN l orefword EMORIES are all that remain of twelve years of work, play, worries, and joys. Now we set forth on a new life, endeavoring to prove ourselves worthy of the education society has given us. I will find a way or make one, the class motto, not only depicts the spirit of the Class of 1939, but also exemplifies the ideals of American youth. PageTh'ree PIQUONIAN e d 1 c UL t 1 0 n E, the Class of 1939, affectionately dedicate this Annual to an instructor who has gained a reputa- tion at Central not only for his coaching, but for his pleasant and cheerful personality as well-0 D.

S. takes great pleasure in introducing to you the members of the Senior Dramatic club and their supervisor, Mr. Theodore Gray. The main purpose of the club is to learn the real meaning of dramatics and the importance of it. Since these students belong to the advanced group, a deeper study of dramatics is involved. The programs, which were planned for the meetings held once every two weeks, consisted of pantomines, plays, readings, and skits. Students read parts of plays and were corrected by their instructor on their posture, speech, tone, and sight reading ability. During some of the meetings several amateur programs were arranged. A 'KWhat's My Name program was produced by the girls, using the names of persons in Piqua Central High as their clues. A one act play, The Angel on the Ship, was presented by the boys over the public address system, which is Piqua Central's proud possession this year. Another feature was the Christmas pageant, The Seven Gifts given in the high school audi- torium during the Christmas season by students who possessed the most dra- matic ability. The organization elected the following officers: President ,,,,,.,. .,,.,,,,,..,,,,,.,. , ,, , ,.,.,,.,,,.,,,,, Margaret Darling Secretary .,s. ,.,.,.,,,.,,,. ,.,.,,.

The Junior Dramatic Cluh Maxine Page GN'T turn off your radio as Station P. H. S. will now bring to you the latest report of the activities of the junior Dramatic Club. During the past year, a group consisting of students from the freshmen and sophomore classes met every other week with Mr. Robert Richardson, their supervisor, to study the art and principles of dramatics. This year the pupils strove to develop this dramatic ability in the individual, himself, rather than the group as a whole. Plays, pantomimes, and sketches from plays proved to be the most enter- taining to the students as many humorous incidents arose during their practice. The Thanksgiving play entitled A Thanksgiving at Homew was the most outstanding accomplishment of the year. This play was presented before the assembly in the high school auditorium. The purpose of this play was to show the results of the studentls study of posture, speech, and other dramatic points. Included in this junior Dramatic Club were the honorary ofiicers: President ,...,.,.,i.,,,,,,.,.t,,,,,t,t,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ted Cruse Vice President ,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,....,,,, F lorence Yearsley Secretary and Treasurerttt ccc,cccccccccccccccccccccc Dick Sullenberger Program Chairmen i,..,,r,,.,,,,....

Col-Voc club, a new club exclusively for senior girls was organized this year by Miss Phillips to aid girls who wish to go to college or enter a vocation. The name of the club was selected by a committee consisting of Martha Hudson, Mildred Pickering, and Betty Strickling. They decided to join the first three letters of college to the first three letters of vocation to form the name. Nanette Looney and Ruth Marsh were elected chairman and secretary, re- spectively, by members of the club and these officers served the entire term. Colleges were discussed first as more of the members were interested in them. Reports on many of Ohio's colleges and universities were given by club members who secured their information from catalogues and bulletins sent out by these schools. Cn completing the reports on thecolleges, members of some of the profes- sions in which the senior girls were interested appeared at club meetings and gave detailed talks which were of great value.

At others, club members presented facts concerning their theme and expressed their opinions as well as offering very intellectual discussions. Some ofthe guest speakers for the year were Miss Angle, a librarian of the Flesh Public Libraryg Miss Peters, the public school nurse, and Mrs. Schaffer, a local beautician who told of many interesting points in beauty culture.

It has not only given entertainment to the students but also training for the orchestra members. The orchestra has devoted much time to playing at debates, at the junior and Senior plays, at the graduating exercises, and at the plays presented by the Parent-Teachers' Association. At Springfield, Qhio, the orchestra achieved a superior rating which permitted them to enter the state contest at Columbus. There they received an excellent rating. Director, Mr. Philip P.

Charles Wakefield Cadman's Operetta, The Golden Trailf' was presented Friday, April ZS, by nearly 100 seniors, to the largest crowd to attend a production of this sort in the past four or five years. With the musical arrangements under the direction of Mr. Gates and dramatic and speaking parts under Mr. Richardson, the well-chosen cast capably presented the play after a three weeks' rehearsal. The cast of sixteen chief roles was supported by chorus groups totalling 80 members. In addition to an intriguing plot and new and different musical selections and dances, the colorful Mexican and the old-fashioned immigrant costumes combined to make the performance outstanding. Praise was given not only to the students whose singing ability was already known, but also to the new talent discovered in some of the singing leads. The senior class wishes to thank Miss Boynton,who directed the dances, Miss McKinley, in charge of the costumes, and Mr. Glenn, for the art work.

Had Troy not beaten Piqua in the final M. V.

The seven members are Don Fogt, Dick Shipley, Harry Trowbridge, Bill Cameron, Luther Earick, Bill Routt, and Dick Matthews. The returning varsity players are Ted Cruse, Bill Hetherington, Dick Sword, and Tom Zollinger. Good luck boys!---Orchids to Coach Walton! ln case you haven't heard, in the fourteen years of the M. V.

Baseball Dick Mattlretus EVENCE filled the air as Piqua's lndians took the field against Troy in their second baseball game of the season. In the First game, Troy had defeated Piqua by a l to O count, the reason for Piqua's revengeful attitude. As the dust cleared away we found that Piqua had turned the tables on the Trojans of Troy and had beaten them l to O. This win perhaps pleased the four seniors on the squad, Luther Eariclc, Bill Routt, Max Fogt and Diclc Matthews, more than the rest because it was their last athletic encounter against Troy. Coach Walton has plenty of fine prospects back for next year and we are sure they will account for themselves just as any athletic team, flying the banners of Piqua Central, always does.

Racketee'r5 . . . Tennis Dick Matthews E are bringing you this broadcast from underneath an umbrella at the Y courts where Piqua Central is having an elimination match to determine which is the best player on the squad. All of the players have gloves on and it's a typical spring day of 1939! On the far court we see those two veterans, Bill Reed and Harry Trowbridge. Bill seems a little worried as he eyes a maroon Oldsmobile, while Harry appears calm and collected. Bill and Harry are the only two men the squad will lose but their absence will be very evident next year. In the center court Jim Baldwin and Bill Hetherington are battling it out. It seems that Baldy is arguing about something but I don't see how that could be possible, as he hates to argue???? Right in front of us on the near court we see Bob Rittenhouse and jack Wilson. jack is beating Bob rather badly but I think itls because Jack's shirt is blinding him. These last four fellows, by the way, will be back next year and we don't mind telling you the outlook is very bright. Our time is disintegrating, so, as much as we hate to, we'll have to return you to our local station. Tennis Schedule April 19-Sidney 4 A...rc.,r,cr,,,.,,..,.,.,,rV...,,. Piqua 1 ...... .......

Gait ' Dick Matthews E interrupt you long enough to give you this important news flash that just came into our studio--'Piqua Central's Golf team has a new coach in the person of G. P. Wertz. Along with the new coach there are several new members on the team among whom are Dan Spencer, Scott Hinsch and jim Apple. The only holdover is Tom Zollinget who helped the golf team out quite a bit this year. This combination has been doing all right for themselves but you haven't seen anything yet. Watch them go to town next year when everyone of this group lifts his driver and swings into action. Golf Schedule 1939 Score April -Miamisburg .. ..., .........
