An unfailing enthusiasm combined with scholarship contributes much toward making his classes interest- ing. Many of us have really enjoyed his courses in Spanish, Latin, and dramatic art. Proof of his ability as a dramatic coach may be found in his success with our junior class plays. His pleasing personality and keen wit have made him extremely popular with both seniors and underclassmen. page eight PlQUUNlANI.,,, Board of Education REV. PAUL J. GEI-IM, President MR.

Oh, were you ne'er cl school boy, and did you never tmin, And feel the swelling of the heart you ne'e'r can feel again. These lines from a popular old Reader keep reverberating through my mind, intent on writing a few parting words to the Class of 1942. Yes, you have been school boys and girls, you have experienced the swelling of the heart that only school activities can bestow, and ere long all the thrills of school will depart, to live only in the realms of memory. We hope that your meditations on school will call back delightful associations, learning situations, and gratifying achievements. As each of you unrolls the scroll of memory, the year 1942 will remind you that you graduated in a year when history was being made as well as read and studied. The present was full of gloom and the future full of uncertainties, but let us hope that your scholastic life had convinced you that right eventually would prevail, that individual freedom and the democratic way of life would not be lost, and that your fellow Americans at Wake and at Bataan, in the air, on the land, and at sea were battling for the preservation of such institutions as Piqua High School. May you be actuated in the years following graduation by the highest motives, may you deeply cherish the privileges of American citizenship, and when this scourge of war has rolled away, may you and all world people enjoy the blessings of a peaceful and worthy civilization. Sincerely, George C. Dietrich page ren ...PllQUONlIAN... S... 5- N. 'nwn 2 IGH on the list of his friends, every student would place our friendly and sympathetic principal, Mr. Sims.

Emery Hole and Dick Sword were the only players on last year's team who were on hand for the 1942 season. However, Coach Clinton Gattshall worked hard with an inexperi- enced squad in order to develop a good team which made a better showing late in the season. Since the players were young and inexperienced they can be expected to win more victories next season. In sportsmanship and sustained effort in training and competition, their record is excellent this year. Seniors on the 1942 squad were Richard Armstrong, Bill Cantwil, Emery Hole, Dick Pearson, and Dick Sword. -Dick Sword Schedule Dare Opponent Place April 10 Pleasant Hill ,.,.tt.

Debate Club H ESOLVED, that every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should be required to have one year of full-time military training before attaining the present draft age. This was the question studied by every high school debate team in the country this season, and a very timely one considering the world situation. The Debate Club, under the supervision of Mr. Puderbaugh, met every week for study, practice debates, and all kinds of speeches. This ex- perience gave most of the members the poise and confidence so neces- sary in public' speaking. This year's debate team was chosen from the Debate Club, as there was no class in debate. Representing P. H. S. in League competition were joan Krieg and Jim Finfrock on the affirmative side of the question given above and Bertie Chambers and Bill Hetherington on the negative.

Gut Assemblies HE Monday assembly programs, which are traditional in our school, provide students with a variety of interesting information and afford to many an opportunity to become accustomed to appearing before an audience. Guest speakers this year have included such widely varied people as the antarctic explorer shown aboveg a native of India, who spoke on the life of boys and girls in lndiag and Mrs. Hess from the State Department of Education, who gave an interesting discussion on boy and girl relationships. Another memorable program was that presented by Qhio State University's male choir, which presented an excellent group of classical and modern numbers. Several of the high school clubs have been represented on our stage in the Monday assembly. The Home Ec Club taught us the rights and wrongs of dress in a Fashions around the Clock show. In their Slide Rule Club program, mathematically minded students showed us how much we didn't know about calculating. The formal inductions into Honor Society and Quill and Scroll proved to be very impressive, as did the annual presentation of football and basketball letters and other awards. This list is by no means complete, but the programs mentioned are typical of those given throughout the year. -loan Krieg page forty-aight gee! . ., .ages X X i if 1' 1 , l J 'Y -..f f f ' Sw. ji s ,?L- ' Ei 1 Z 1 2 . . b Y 1 - -:frm ' 4 :. ll .::'22 i'!'l:i . .X N .,Nl ,,4,, .
