X Senior Class Officers COOPER RHOADES SUMMERS ANDY A hundred years will soon have passed Since eager hordes with wagons massed Moved surely laboriously toward A West where gold---gold was the word That issued from the parched dry throat, That glittered in the things they wrote. The ruts their grumbling wheels once made Were bases for the roads we've laid. As they once progressed, so have we, And thus this anniversary, The miner's hopes, the miner's dream, Are ours, and so he is our theme. The golden friendships, learning, too, We've found in school will last us through The years when gone is cheaper gold. The future's ours. It's ours to mould. Another hundred years will tell If we have used this knowledge well.

They have truly had to dig deep into their treasures of time, talent, energy, and school experiences to earn membership in Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists. To qualify for membership in this organization, students must be juniors or seniors and in the upper third of their class in scholastic standing. They must earn at least 300 points through contributions of literary material to the Piquonian, our school magazine, Smoke Signals, our school page, or from work in the art and business departments of the two publications. Quill and Scroll has played an important role in the activities of Piqua High School since 1929. Faculty advisors for 1948-49 were Miss Nellie Otte, Miss Genevieve North, Miss Ruth Heitzman, Miss Velma Stephenson, Gilbert Shaw, and Principal Robert G. Winter.

Officers of the '48 '49 Spanish club are: el presidente, Sally Hicks, el vice presidente, Sam Dougherty, el secretario, Verna l-lefiflinger. Although students in Miss Ruth l-leitzman's French classes learn something ahout the history of France, they are concerned for the most part with the language and grammar of that fascinating country. Only second-year French was offered this year as a poll among prospective language students indicated that the majority of them preferred German to French. However, if the demand is great enough, French will he offered to juniors next year. Officers of the French cluh are: Ruth Allen, presidentg Dick Myers, vice-president, Sarah Lu King, secretaryg Bill Helsley, treasurer, Beth Downey, program chairman. This is the first time in many years that students at Piqua Central have had the op- portunity to study German. The German cluh, with the help of their faculty advisor, Miss Paula Gehm, gave a Christmas tea for the teachers. They served German cookies and sang carols in German. Pupils in this new class study the customs, occupations, and many other things about Germany, as well as the language. Some of them are learning to write German script. The German cluh officers are: joan Franks, president, Nancy Day, vice presidentg Janice Kramer, secretary, and Ross Dunton, treasurer.

'B 15 Page Sixty-One Football HE Redskins of 1948 rolled up a good season of five wins, and one tie, under the super- vision of one ofthe finest coaches in this part of the state, George P. Wertz. Coach George McFarland trained and directed the reserve squads. A new import, already well-liked by Piquads, Milan Stanich, assisted Coach Wertz with his varsity line. Six new 80 foot light towers, displaying IO4 lights, added new brilliance to the Indian games. New also was the preview game held at Roosevelt field in which the four northern M. V. I.. schools, Piqua, Sidney, Troy, and Greenville, played two quarters each. In the first game, with Dayton Roosevelt, the Indians showed plenty of sparkle as they scored twice in the first two plays. After these exciting first five minutes they carried on to win 20 fell. Springfield Public turned back the Indians 37e1Z. Several of our players sustained injuries in this game. The first M. V. I.. game was held in competition with Sidney, and as always, it proved a worthy foe, but the Redmen came through with a I9fI3 victory. Traveling to Lima Central, the Indians lost to the Lima Tigers 19-6. The Piqua boys got their steak dinners anyway. Miamisburg, a team to be reckoned with, came bursting up with a score of USO. They were a tough nut to crack and Piqua tried hard. Again taking to the road, the Indians returned with a victory from a fighting Fairmont team. The score? I4-O. The newcomer ofthe M. V. I.. came to Piqua to be badly beaten in a lopsided game. The game proved to Gakwood that Piqua had too many substitutes. Everybody got to play the score was 46fO. The next three games will be remembered, when the years have passed, as swimming meets. Traveling to Greenville and playing in a mass of mud, the Indians proved by a score of 6K0 most able to cope with the mud. Playing once more on a very muddy field. Piquads proved the poorer swimmers against the upset M. V. I.. team Xenia. We lost l2fO. In a sea of mud the Indians showed their old Troy game spirit by playing a highly- favored Trojan team to a O-O tie.

Wertz welded together one of the best track teams, Piqua has had for a number of years. In the first five recorded meets of the season, Piqua won three, tied one, and lost one. Their first defeat was by Troy, showing a score of 5995 to 58375. Their single tie was with Greenville by the score of 59 to 59. The most important meet was the M. V. L. Piqua's chances in this annual meet were the best they had been in recent years. One great advantage of this year's team was the fact that it was composed mostly of sopho- more and junior boys. There were five seniors, these seniors being: Duane Butt, john Kaiser, Paul Kasler, Tom Kindell, and Raymond Price. The season's record is as follows: Baseball Piqua 7Z'g . .Miamisburg 4531, .

McFarland, the Piqua High School baseball team proved to be one of the strongest teams in the Miami Valley League this year. The Redskins had won four league games up to the date they played the Miamis- burg Vikings. The Vikings proceeded to hand Piqua its first league setback, thus throwing Piqua, Miamisburg, and Oakwood into a three way tie for first place. Then Miamisburg's hopes for winning the title were shattered when Fairmont handed them their second defeat. This left Piqua and Oakwood tied for first place. The play off between these two schools was scheduled for a later date. The highlight of the season was the no-hit game which Bob Cassidy pitched against Fairmont. Cassidy had always been a third baseman until Coach McFarland discovered the fast speed which he had in his right arm. The team will be hard hit next year due to the loss of seven seniors. These are: Harold Davis, pitcherg Bill Long, catcherg Joe Blayney, first baseman, Rex McClure, left fieldg Jack Cron, short stop, Charles Andy, second basemang and Bob Cassidy, pitcher and third baseman.
