DEDICATED TO 1 Ol! I w i? BECAUSE You are the future. The responsibility for the future rests in your hands. The world is a chaos. VVar, starvation, oppres- sion, loss of freedom, imperialistic aggression prevail. lf a change is to he made, it will he you, the youth of today and the citizen of tomorrow, who will make it.

Cooper Often you are taken in a matter of fact way and we students do not fully appreciate the part that you, the faculty, play in our school organization. Now, as we Seniors must leave behind our school years, we realize that Fremont Ross High could not be one of the outstanding schools in the state without your spirit and cooperation. 'md g Sammie and Susie, having attained the rank and dignity of seniors, are now deserv- ing of the title of Samuel and Susan. They have now reached the top in their high school career, but are starting from the bot- tom of life on their own. Being reluctant to finish this phase of liie is natural, but they do not lack courage. The' 1940 class is proud to have graduated from such a fine school. SENICJRS Y ch?

In true Western fashion Miss Bosworth's and Miss Crowley's friendly manner won them many friends at Ross High School. As evidence of this friendship, many of their former students requested that their pictures be placed in our book this year. Ex. - .VM FY Freddie and Frances -the ambassadors of the Freshman class. Their first year of high school, during which they entered school activities with much enthusiasm, has started them on the long and rocky path leading to the Senior class.

Officers President James Wisbon Secretary Betty Notestine Vice-President Glen Bingman Advisor Miss Hoffman SENIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL The younger set of governors, our Junior High Student Council, is yet learning what it means to conduct an orderly school.

JOLLY GOOD FELLOWS To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards ot Christian character is the purpose ot the Hi Y Club, which has been carried out very actively this year. Among the many activities in which the Hi Y participated this '55 year are the District Council, over which a member ol our l-li Y presided, the State Conference at Youngstown, and the Ill National Congress at Oberlin. The Hi Y, cooperating with the Girl Reserves, made the Christmas program and the collection ot gifts for the poor a huge success.

DO-RE-MI Scales up to high C and down to low The members of the A Cappella Choir have a chance to show their range. Mrs. Datesman, with the suggestions of the choir, places the members in chairs according to ability. Their program included singing at various churches, the Women's Club and at the Buckeye League. Many of the mem- bers attended the opera in Clevland. Th organization has proven itself outstanding and worthwhile. FUTURE SWARTHOUTS The student body has had little opportunity to hear the Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Datesman. They sang at the combined P. T. A. meeting and made one public appearance with the Boys' Glee Club. Part of this group will form the future A Cappella Choir. MELODIOUS MUSICIANS The purpose of the Boys' Glee Club is to forward an interest in music, particularly classic. It is a means of securing training tor advanced music. Under the direction of Mrs. Datesman, they have made several pub- lic appearances. BOOKWORMS Becoming more and more the answer to an unprepared studenI's prayer is the Ross High School Library.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE The flowing words ot this debate team enabled them to win seventy-tive out of one hundred twenty debates, with ten non- decisions. Many hard hours of study and preparation were spent. Resolved: That the government should own the railroads- this was the question in debate. Participating in the Western Ohio-Southern Michigan District, National Forensic League, they were defeated only by Columbus North. One member who did humorous declamation work succeeded in going to the tinals in the N. P. I.. at Lima. To Coach Weaver goes our congratulations for the success of his team.

More than once was this ejaculated by some harrassed member of the 1940 Annual staff. Requiring weeks and months of hard work, it also brought with it much experience and fun. In this, our annual, we have tried to gather together all the major events of our school life, so that when in years to come we sigh for the good times we had during our school years, we may have some permanent evidence. To Mr. Tooley we extend our wholehearted thanks for his splendid supervision.

CHATTER CUBS Next year's news hawks-the members of the Sophomore Press Club must be alert and show talent in the writing field. The meetings are spent studying the elements of journalism and those passing a test given at the close of the school year are automatically members of next year's Chatter staff. To Mr. Tooley goes the credit for organizing this junior Chatter staff. NEWS AND NOTES Beats to be tracked down, stories to be assigned, deadlines set, copy to be proof-read, dummys to be made up and sent to the printers-such is life on the Chatter staff. Make good, don't make excuses must certainly be followed if the paper is to be a success. 'Working together is essential if the Croghan Chatter is to come out on time with lively, interesting news about the school and its stu- dents.

MIGHTY MEN TORS Ross High School has definitely made a place for herself in the Buckeye League this year, and the results of the success may be found in our trophy case. Part of our splendid record is due to the excellent coaching staff of our school. To our coaches we offer congratulations on the splendid work they and their squads have done. AFTERMATH A grand coach and a brilliant star-a great combination. Under the guidance of such coaches as John Titsworth, Bob Shaw has made his mark in the high school sports world and the future offers unlimited pos- sibilities. We offer a salute to a great athlete, not only in one field but in several, and know that in years to come we will be proud to claim him. ,R avi 1f .?V 39 Row l - June Maier, Helen Baughman.

VARSITY FOOTBALL From the first day of September to late in the Fall these grid- ders work in such perspiring hot days that they can hardly stand up, only to be on hand when the early snows fall. By hitting the turf and clinging hard to the pads of their opponents, they have brought King Football back into the hearts of more fans of the Purple and White. For the first time in eight years these gridders brought back the laurels of a Buckeye League Championship to Fremont Ross. This year our varsity team came through with one ot the most commendable seasons for some years by winning 8 out of their 10 game schedule, losing only to Toledo Scott and to our most bitter rival, Sandusky. Our team outscored their opponents by piling up a total of 238 points to their opponents' mere 96. Fremont Score Opponent Score Where Played Date '1 Fremont.. .. . 32.. .........,.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Through excellent coaching, under Coach Edward Clark Gabel, the Ross quintet turned in one of the most successful seasons ever witnessed by Ross basketball fans. For the first time in the six year Buckeye Loop history our basketball team won the Buckeye League championship. Excellent cooperation among players and the coaching staff also played an important part in winning the championship. Bob Shaw, a senior who gained all-state recognition, and Jack Carroll, a flashy junior, carried the Ross scoring attack while Brunover, Manahan, Ruland, Berger and Jenkins turned in some of the best floor games ever performed before by Ross. The amazing record that these five boys leave behind is 16 victories and 2 defeats, including carrying the Purple and White to the semi-finals in the tournament.

As the records show, they were very successful, winning eight dual meets and tying one, tying for second in the Relays, winning the District, and placing second in the State Meet.

Because of all these activities, track offers oppor- tunities to anyone with athletic ability. More track aspirants re- ported to Coach Althofl this year than past years, as there was no spring football. The Buckeye Meet of 1940 which was held here, May 11, was won by the Fremont Little Giants who amassed a total of 79 points to their nearest competitor, Findlay's, 24112. This meet was one of the most colorful track meets that has been held here for some iime. Track Meets In the 1939 District Meet at Mansfield the Little Giants placed third with 341!2 points.
