I G Always popping out in a new place. To argue is the delight ol his life. CLASS HI TORY It was a birght, sunny day, as the train of Memories pulled slowly into Ross High School. Mr. Finkbine was at the throttle of the engine. The train stopped suddenly and forty-four wide-eyed freshmen started climbing excitingly from the coaches. Pullman Ridenour, later the home room teacher, was directing the students, who were new that year. Other members of the crew were: fireman, Mr. Wilson, chief cook, Miss Whitey brakeman, Mrs. Greschelg con- ductor, Mrs. Wildemang porter, Miss Storyg dining car waitresses were Miss Smith, Miss Fant, and Miss Lindsey. As we looked around us, we saw many new faces who had boarded the train at Harrison, Morgan, Tennessee, Fairfield, Hamilton, and Indiana. Those who were new were: Mary Biere, Ethel Irwin, Emogene Kimble, Marie Knuf, Barbara Morrison, Elizabeth Singleton, Glenn Barnthouse, Ted Brusaw, Gordon Butterfield, George Engel, Ed- ward Hacker, Clemens Meier, Fred Patton, James Turner, and Ray Hoelle. They became very dear friends to us. After we had been here for a while and the excitement of being in high school had quieted down, we elected of- ficers for our class. Our president was Ray Weber, Carol Siegle, treasurer, Wallace Wogenstahl, assembly committee, Pat Ryan, Geneva Lewis and June Statzer, student coucil. We had wonderful times in our first year in high school. On May 23, after the closing exercises, we once more boarded the train, looking forward to three months of summer vacation. We would return in the fall as sophomores. As we stood at the depot and heard the whistle of the train coming around the bend, we wondered how many passengers we had taken on and let off. As we entered the train we found Engineer Finkbine still at the throttle, Miss White was still chief cook, but our bottle washer was Mr. Wilson, our porter Miss Nester had married, so Miss Bryne took her place. Mrs. Greschel was still brakeman, Mrs. Wildman continued as conductor. Mr. Ridenour took over the duties of fireman, and Miss Fant changed her name to McCollum and was promoted to pullman. Miss Lindsey and Miss Smith stayed on as waitresses. We noticed several of our classmates had gotten off at various stations. Among them were Ruth Gross, Dorothy Taylor, James Butler, Walter Burke, Edward Howard, Bill Jackson, George Kramer, Charles McVey, Charles Reynolds, and James VanWinkle. New passengers were Iris Bryant, Pat Davis, Russell An- des, and Kenneth Phillips. Being sophomores we felt really grown-up. Our adviser was Mr. Ridenour. Class president was Clemens Meier: vice-president, Kenneth Phillipsg secretary, Carol Sue Siegleg treasurer, June Statzer, assembly representative, Alice Eschenbrennerq student council, Jeanette Burns and Fred Patton. As we approached our junior year and the engine puffed into Millville, Shandon, and Venice, everyone was won- dering what the year would bring forth. We found that it was to be one of the busiest years we had experienced. The old train seemed to have more spirit than ever this year. Engineer Finkbine had taken on an assistant by the name of Mr. Ittel. Our fireman, Ridenour was replaced by coach Donahue. Our porter, Miss Brynes came back as Mrs. Fryer, Miss White was Mrs. Wilson. In the middle of the year Mrs. Wilson left and Miss Etter took charge of the kitchen. The positions of the rest of the crew were the same as other years with the exception of Miss Smith who got off somewhere along the line and became Mrs. Kyle. We again lost several students. Those who had gotten off the train were Norma Frost, Audrey Noes, Elizabeth Singleton, Glenn Barnthouse, Davy Hanavan, Roy Holle, Paul Huesing, Vernon Richardson, Mary Biere, Ester Bunger, Dorance Wollery, Douglas Huls, Ted Brusaw, Bill Glaub, Ray Jamison, Pat Davis, Marie Knuf, Emerick Gross, Rob- ert Moss, and John Zimmerman. New students were Jenny Tillery and Thomas Gadd. Junior year officers were: president, Ray Weber, vice-president, Carol Sue Siegleg secretary, Earl Lakesg treas- urer, Wallace Wogenstahlg assembly committee, Verldon Campbellg student council, Edward Rice, Clemens Meier, and Pat Ryan. Mrs. Greschel was chosen as our adviser. This year held many important events for us. Our dance was held at Thanksgiving and was a great success. In April we presented Grandpa's Twin Sister. And in May came the Junior-Senior Prom at I-Iamilton's Anthony Wayne. Everyone looked forward to vacation time, but we had no sooner got used to the idea of swimming, fishing, and in general having a good time, when once more the train pulled into the station to take us back to our Alma Mater. Coming aboard, we at once saw that we had taken on new members of the crew and lost some of the old. Our assistant engineer, Mr. Ittel, was replaced by Mr. Cleaver, our fireman, Coach Donahue, was replaced by Coach Luns- ford. Our porter, Mrs. Fryer, was replaced by one of our former students, Mr. Rowland, who took over the music de- partment. Miss Etter stayed on as head of the kitchen, and Mrs. Stahl replaced Mrs. Kyle as waitress. Mrs. Greschel, Mrs. Wildman, and Miss Lindsey were still waitresses, and Mrs. McCollum stayed on as pullman. Again we lost some of our best friends. Francis Campbell, Iris Bryant, and Ed Hacker missed the train. Lois Ann Yater came back, but soon left to get married. We had two new students, Lou Ann Allen and Mary Whisman. Mary didn't stay with us very long. Later in the year a guy by the name of Chuck Bober came to us from Cleveland. Since this was our most important year, we decided to elect important officers for our class. Our president was Ralph Jarvis: vice-president, Russell Andesg secretary, Carol Sue Siegleg treasurer, Alice Eschenbrennerg assembly committee, Jeannette Burns, student council, James Turner, Earl Lakes, and Jenny Tillery. Mr. Wilson was adviser. This year certainly proved to be a very busy, but wonderful year. On November 12, we presented a very suc- cessful play, Introducin' Susan. The spring brought us much more excitement. Our annual was our most important task of all our 12 years. April 23 we had our Senior Dance. This too was a success. Then on May 13, everyone had a wonderful time at the Junior-Senior Prom. On May 14, we started on our trip for the Smoky Mountains. May 20 was class night and we had a lot of fun putting this on. Then on May 22 came Baccalaureate and finally on May 26, we walked up the aisle to receive our diplomas. As the train of Memories pulled slowly away from Ross, 36 seniors looked back for the last time to their old Alma Mater and remembered all of the fun they had as students at Ross. Row one D.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY 1 ntroducin' S usan Dick Heatherby CKarroll Hughesj, a young college professor, and his wife, Susan CAlice Eschenbrennerl, quarrelled over a trivial matter. She left the house, threatening to go to Reno, and causing Dick great distress for two reasons. First, because he was really fond of Susan, and, second, because his Aunt Cordelia Quackenbush fjune Statzerj, not only contributed materially to the upkeep of the Heatherby home, but was a well-known lecturer on the evils of divorce. Aunt Cordelia was coming to visit. and Dick could not let Susan's absence be known. Buddy Chalmers QRaymond Weberj, one of Dick's pipils, and a quick thinker, made a deal with Dick when a Susan had to be produced. A butler was also needed, so Buddy's girl friend, Babs fjenny Tilleryl, was pressed into service and plenty of trouble in the form of Violet, the cook CCarol Sue Sieglej, who thinks Babs is a man, and who has a weakness for butlers. Well, Auntie finally showed up and, to Dick's constemation, not one but three Susans appeared, and none of them the real one! When Susan herself returned to make up with Dick, she ran into a house full of Susans, sweethearts, Aunt Cordelia, etc. Dick, getting in deeper and deeper decided the emergency called for further deception, and told Aunt Cordelia that the real Susan, who had fainted, was a crazy woman from next door that thinks every man is her dead husband. You never saw so many mix-ups on any one stage before. Every misunder- standing . . . Diana QAllene Barkerj and Ross Uack Foxj, Dick's and Susan's ex-sweetheartsg Cyclone Q Ralph Jarvisj, Violet's prize-fighting brother, the asylum attendants fVerldon Campbell and Denver Settlej who get hold of Aunt Cordelia by mistakeg and the real Susan's hot-headed father QI-Iorace Huffj . . . all cause a riot of laughter throughout the entire play. Just when things begin to look the worst for everyone, Aunt Cordelia comes through in her unexpected manner, clearing the atmosphere. Dick and Susan are both ready to forgive and at least try to forget the crazy doings of the day . . . one of the funniest farces ever written for amateurs. CLASS PROPHECY Here it. is 1955. My, how time has flown since we were at dear old Ross. Let us go calling by train, plane, or automobile to visit some of our classmates. First, let's take a train to Oregon to visit the mountain home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lakes fthe former Lou Ann Allenj. We can not stay because we must visit a farmer back in Ross Township. There he is, farmer Russ Andes, busy driving his Atomic 10 Tractor. just a few words and we must journey downtown to visit Mrs. W. House CAllene Barkerj whom we find sitting at her desk in the Lakes Safe Erection Building, where she is head stenographer. Now let us get into our speedy Skyrocket and whiz back to Ross Township. This time we'll just remain until we look up those who are still living around these parts. See that house on the hill? That's where Eileen Bennett lives. She said she was going to stay home and there she is. Well, we fly over and down below us we see four enormous farms spread out over the countryside. The first one belongs to George Engel, the boy who said he was going to raise pigs. Remember? Now he has ten children. That second one is the pride and joy of Floyd Pillion. We knew he would make good. And there it is, that beautiful farm that Jim Turner talked so much about owning. Too bad that we can't drop down to see him. Last, but not least, the used-to-be farm of cattle showman Gordon Butterfield. All that is left is a desolate stretch of barren land. But we are glad to hear that he is doing well in Hollywood, where he is a crooner with that fam- ous band, Fox and His Dixieland Devils. That name sounds familiar, of course, that is jack Fox, one of our mad musicians from Ross. Now we will hop into our Supersonic Snazzy Six and roll along the highway. Look! Don't those three fellows look familiar? Why, it's Verldon QPercyj Campbell, football star, Horace E. Huff, ideal studentg and Eddie QLadies' Many Rice. I thought they were going to be carpenters. Oh, well, we'll pick them up fhitchhiking tsk! tsk!j and be on our way. Let us not go so fast, I want to look at mailboxes. There! That one says O. Nusky. This must be the home of Vera Endress, now Mrs. Nusky. We haven't time to stop although we would like to see our friend who, we are sure, is an ideal wife. Up ahead is the place that is the pride and joy of Ross Township, the College of Knowledge, where we shall buzz through and visit several of our brainy friends. Why, Carol Sue Siegle, how are you? You say that you're Mrs. Tincher now? Congratulations, Suzy. join us while we nosey around. It couldn't be-yes, it is-Jeannette Burns, former editor of Ross Rays, and all-around go-getter. Well, of all people, there's Alice Eschenbrenner. She told me years ago she was going to business college, and here she is, busy as ever. Let's drop by the office, but wait-doesn't that name look familiar? ETHEL IRWIN, DEAN OF GIRLS. Naturally, that couldn't be anyone but Efficient Ethel, as we knew her in those days. Gaze at that cute little miss, sitting at the big desk. Why, of course, it's Mrs. Fondong QBarbara Morrisonj. Giggling! the same old Barby. And at the desk next to her we find our good buddy, Mrs. H. Strickler Uenny Tilleryj. We won't bother these ladies, as they are quite busy, but we see that they didn't stray very far from the old home grounds. Now we shall make our exit. just a second! That teacher, it's Margaret Owen! Well, of all things, not Mis- chievous Mickie a teacher. Strange things do happen. Let's hop back into our Supersonic Snazzy Six and make dust, although we do hate to leave our dear friends. journeying on into town, we stop on High Street and who of all people should we see but Geneva Lewis. Here she is, bag and baggage. Leaving? That's right, Geneva is traveling. Well, good luck. Attention! Here come four sailors. My, don't they look handsome? Hold it! We know these boys! Karroll Hughes, all smiles, as usual, Denver Settle, with that wicked look, Shorty Weber CRosebud!!!Jg and Earl Hoover, who is still looking for trouble. We'd certainly like to stop and chat, for we think lots of these guys, but they don't see us, so we'll move on. Oh, joy! It's june. Yes, junie Statzer Cnow Mrs. Smithj. We must say hello. You say you are a Western Union operator? Why, june, how nice. We can't tarry for our time is running short, so goodbye and best wishes. On the left we see a string of new buildings. Let's look. The Bober Research Building, Charles Bober, President. Good old Chuck, glad to know his dreams came true. Stop, the sign says Emogene Kimble, Head Secretary. just like Emmy, smart in everything, knew she'd find her place in the higher brackets. The next building says Ryan and Wogenstahl, Mechanical Engineers. A partnership like this should go places. Pat Ryan, The Answer Box, and Wogie Wogenstahl, a second Einstein. This next building looks like a shop. Looking on the door we read Robert Tragessar, Shopwork. You know it will be the best if it is run by our good friend Bob. Goodbye, all you dear frends, we must board the Train of the Future. The train is leaving the station and as we look across the aisle, lo and behold, it's Clemens QBeetleJ Meier. What a surprise! Now, we remember, you said you were going to travel and work. Ah! We settle back in our seats and gaze out the window, and all of a sudden there at the next station, we see a yellow and red Model A convertible. It is the property of Kenneth QFuzzj Phillips, and there on the platform sit Fuzz and his good pal, Fred Patton. Well, they said they were going to California, and we see that the Cat Car is ready to fall apart, so they'll be catching this train. I'm glad we didn't miss them. I want to ask Fred about Martha. Once more our train is pulling into the land of what will be, and we are filled with thoughts of having seen our classmates of '49 once more. lmao knows what time will tell? Lou ANN ALLEN.

CLASS SONG By JUNE S'rA'rzr-:R Our school days now are past, We've reached our goal at last, We had so much fun, But life's just begun, As we'll learn, now that school is o'er. You And But The kids are all so swell, teachers just as well, now that we're gone, memories stay on, Of the wonderful times we've had. One thing we'd like to say, We have enjoyed our stay, But life comes and goes, as everyone knows, And this is our big day. Good luck to all of you, We wish we could stay too, We'll have much to tell, But we bid you farewell, We're the class of '49. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Lou Ann Allen ........ Russell Andes ......

The teachers seemed sorry, The students acted glad, But deep down inside, They really felt sad. They looked at the blackboards, The desks and the chairsg The time's getting closer, When fortune will be theirs. Today they remembered, The swell times they'd had, The happy ones, the sad ones, The good ones and bad. Each student was different, No thoughts were the same, Some were thinking of vacation, Others were thinking of fame. They'll always remember, As the years roll by, Each and every classmate, At dear Old Ross High. Take Lou Ann Allen, A sweet little lass, She has beautiful hair, And she's the tiniest in class. Or handsome Russell Andes, A bright sort of boy, He's very intelligent, And studying's his joy. Then there's Allene Barker, Who's so tiny in size, She's very, very, pretty, With beautiful brown eyes. And Eileen Bennett, Whom we knew from the start, She's going to college, And take up art. A lad named Chuck Bober, Who played' on the team, Was our newest addition, And has hair like a dream. Now, sweet Jeannette Burns, ls a very nice gal,' She's very efficient, And a really true pal. For the ping-pong champion, Gordon Buttertleld's his name, He's the tallest in class, And his steer brought him fame. Verldon Campbell was known, For his wonderful manners, If awards were given, He'd take all of the banners. Our prophecy for Vera Endress, Is that she'll be the first bride, When she walks down the aisle, Ollie will swell with great pride. We musn't forget George Engel, Who's a very nice lad, Farming's his ambition, He'1l make the best to be had. She has beautiful dark hair, And her freckles look sweet, Alice Eschenbrenner is a girl, We all like to meet. For the class musician, We choose Jack Fox, He'll soon be famous, With his own band box. For the humor of the class, And all the funny stuff, We choose the one and only, Our friend, Horace Huff. There is a boy who always smiles, He never has the blues, You're wondering who it is? His name is Karroll Hughes. Now Earl Hoover is a quiet lad, With never much to say, But let him be with classmates, And he's really on his way. Everyone knows Ethel Irwin, And the fine editor she's madeg When she goes to college, She'll surely make the grade. Ralph Jarvis was a football player, He took it in his stride: Also president of the senior class, This gave to him much pride. Her handwriting is beautiful, Her papers look so neat, Her name is Emogene Kimble, And she's very, very, sweet. Earl Lakes was always in trouble, Or seen running around in the hall, But his athletic ability, Will make him remembered by all. Her disposition is wonderful, And she's just loads of fun, Geneva Lewis believes in, A good word for everyone. Now, Clemens Meier is a good sized chap, He's healthy, smart, and strong, He's good in sports and likes to hunt, And has been popular all along. Barbara Morrison has pretty eyes, And well-shaped mouth, She is really liked by everyone, And a true bell from the south. Margaret Owen has a beautiful smile, And chestnut colored hair, And when there's any fun going on, Margaret is always there. Now Freddie Patton's a handsome lad, Who loves to go to school, We wonder if the reason isn't, Because of Martha Buell. Kenneth Phillips, who never worries Has the famous name of Fuzz, He says he always has work to do, But somehow never does. Floyd Pillion is always in his place, And never does much harm, He hasn't time to stay after school, For he's very busy on his farm. Now cute little Eddie Rice, ls as sweet as he can be, But when the girls chase him in the hall, He yells, Aw, keep away from me. For the Irishman, it's Patrick O'Ryan, And a very fine lad to meet, But when it comes to brainwork, Pat is very hard to beat. Now Denver Settle has the reddest hair, Of any boy in class, He never was found out of his place, Or offered a word of sass. If beauty and brains don't go together, Then please explain to me, How Carol Sue Siegle can have both, Plus a sweet personality. Blonde hair, eyes like heaven, A sense of humor none can beat, June Statzer, the best around, Cheery, sweet, and quite a treat. To be a sweet and charming girl, ls Jenny Tillery's aim, We didn't know what sweetness was, Until after Jenny came. Bob Tragesser has a healthy mind, And was quite a basketball fan, But when it comes to motor bikes, He's quite a fancy Dan. Now Jim Turner is a quiet lad, And won't be forgotten by far, And one place you'll never see him, Is hanging over a bar. Ray Weber is nicknamed Shorty, He likes to date the girls, He has the cutest, blackest hair, Just simply dangling with curls. For the boy most likely to succeed, Wallace Wogenstahl is his name, He'l1 soon go off to college, And bring old Ross High fame. Yes, these are the seniors of 49, We've had so very much fun, And so in closing, we wish to say, Good luck, God Bless You, everyone. Written by the members of the Senior Class.

Room 101 The hrst grade have been working very earnestly trying to do neat printing. Most of us have succeeded. We also have learned to read and know most of our addition facts whose sums are ten. The second grade have learned to write and spell. We flnished all the re- quired readers and read a number of supplementary readers taken from the book store. ln numbers we reviewed the additions facts and learned to subtract. Room 102 What changes six months bring! Forty little boys and girls came to Room 102 on September 7th bewildered. fright- ened, crying, and for a month adjust- ments were slowly but surely made. Among our friends at school, we found Dick. Jane and Sally, together with their friends and pets. Every day there were new stories, new pictures, and new keys lwordsl to unlock doors to a life time of reading and under- standing symbols. Our program has progressed pretty much as planned or would have, but for colds. measles. chicken pox, whooping cough, and mumps which have plagued us through the year. We have enjoyed this first year very much, and are eagerly looking forward to the fun and ioys that our second and future years will bring us. Room 103 On September 7, 1948 we came, to room 103, lf we found our nalqu:,ori'the board we knew we were in this room. We have all worked hard this year and have had fun doing it. Some of our special highlights this year were: Learning to write, reading for mean- ing and how to sound out new words, learning to spell, how to tell time, adding and subtracting. We made a book of children from other countries. We are looking forward to the third grade next year. Room 104 Our first unit of work was about ani- mals. We had fun making animal books. We put pictures and stories in our books. Some of the pictures we drew ourselves. At Christmas time we were busy and making gifts for our family. It gave us something to do in bad weather. We i--erked on our gifts during recess and when we had finished our other work. Our unit on Food was fun. Many people gave interesting reports about food. We were interested in how food grew, so we planted some seeds our- selves. We also had fun making a puppet stage. Our mothers helped us make the puppets. Of course, the most fun we had was acting out stories with our puppets. Room 1 05 The pupils of Room 105 have studied the world about us. We worked out simple experiments to explain what we see. We learned that people who do not know about nature make up strange stories to explain things they do not understand. We also studied well known poems for children. We learned to appreciate good poems by reading and listening to them. We all enjoyed the time we spent finger painting. It was fun to make pic- tures to show how we would like to spend a spring day. We also made a pic- ture of our dreams. Room 106 The class of 1957 had many interesting experiences this year. We traveled all around the world and have made model cities and villages of some of the places we have visited. We followed our jour- ney on individual maps too. While doing this, we also traced the history of our United States from the birth of Colum- bus up to the present time. We learned to appreciate our United States and to be thankful for our courageous fore- fathers. We have accomplished a great deal in math, English, health, and spelling. We learned to play together and be better citizens. We are looking forward to the fifth grade next fall and the opportunity to advance another step up the seemingly long ladder of education. A Time has passed so quidkly that we can hardly realize that it is again vaca- tion time. We are happy that we have completed the flfth grade arid would like .to tell you about some of the work and pleasures of the year. We enjoyed the int:-resting stories in our,readers. We l studied all about our own 'United States from our geography and history books. Every morning found us busy working problems in arithmetic. We have given reports, written letters, and practiced English usage throughout the year. Along with our study, we have had lots of fun playing games. Perhaps the outstanding of the season were the basketball games we played with other grades. The games were full of thrills and excitement and we are looking forward to a happy sixth grade year. Room 108 Our class had an enjoyable year in many ways. We were very enthusiastic about beginning our new books at the start of the year and they became less difficult to understand as we went along. We've learned to write autobiographies, diaries and news reports as part of our language class. We collected poetry and choice sayings of great men and put them in our own Memory Books. Christmas, Valentine, and birthday parties have been great fun through- out the year as well as an exciting elementary basketball tournament. Room 109 We have had a lot of fun this year. We had parties for Halloween, Christmas and Valentine Day. But like all other years in school we have had our hard studies. We went on imaginary trips to Baby- lonia, China, India, Greece, and to the Roman Empire. We learned many things about all these places. In arithmetic we learned about deci- mals. In health we are trying to eat foods that are good for us. We are trying harder to obey health rules. ln English we have learned how to use words, when to use them and what to use them with. Our room won the sales tax contest. The elementary grades had a basket- ball tournament. Our A team won. We have had a very enjoyable year. Seventh Grade This year we seventh graders came upstairs from the sixth grade. We found many new things all of which we liked. Some of the different things we have found are the change in periods, the different classes, and having different teachers for the different classes. We have had two new subjects this year. The boys have industrial arts, and the girls have home economics. We have found these very interesting. The boys especially liked their basket- ball games with other schools. We also enjoyed the clubs in which we belonged. ln general we like being upstairs, and being in the seventh grade. We are looking forward to next year's eighth grade. Eighth Grade During the year we have enjoyed studying many different things. ln Science we have studied the changing world, which is about the planets, air plants and animals around us, the changing landscape and our life in a changing world. History has been moving very fast this year. We studied about the building of our nation, and have learned the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, and The Pre- amble. We have enjoyed going to many seventh and eighth grade basketball games and seeing movies about our lessons. Freshman News The years 1948 and 1949 have been very progressive and happy for us. During the year we did many things. Our class had a party in November. It was a great success. We played nfany games, danced, and later had refresh- ments. In November the cheerleaders were chosen. Two of them who are in our room cheer for the reserve team. We welcomed several new members into our class this year and also had many to leave us. We, as Freshmen of the years 1948 and 1949 hope that the Freshman class of 1949 and 1950 have as happy and pro- gressive a year as we did. Sophomore News The Sophomores have had a very successful year. At our first meeting, we elected class officers. So far this year we have accomplished everything we have set our minds to. We are looking forward to two more things especially. They are one, getting to order our class rings, and two, going to Le Sourdsville the last day of school., We wish to thank Miss Lindsey for her help as our advisor. , M Junior News The Junior class started out a very successful year by electing very capable officers. All officers and committees worked very well in our activities. The first big activity was the sale of basketball pencils which were very successfully sold. Our dance was held in November with one of the largest crowds at a Ross dance. Our play Too Sweet for Sixteen was also very successful. In May the Junior-Senior Prom was held at the school, which was a gala affair. We all feel that we have had a wonderful year of activities and work and we all are looking forward to a successful senior year. Fnsr row: M. Lewis, S. Davis, A. Riedel, M. Crane, D. Fox, M.

The group has stayed approximately the same size the rest of the year. With a large training program under way, pros- pects are fairly good for a larger band next year. About twenty students are beginning instrumental studies, This should help to keep the size of the band fairly large for several years to come. The band played for the Senior play, some pep assemblies, a P.T.A. meeting, and all home basketball games, Illness of the director prevented the group from playing at the Butler County Basketball Tournament. CLEE CLUB The high school mixed chorus, numbering 75 members, has been the largest this year that the school has ever had. Most of the activities centered around the Christmas music provided for the December Parent-Teachers' meeting. No spring concert was arranged for this year, but the group presented music for various activities of Commencement Week. The material sung this year has been varied. including popular and musical comedy numbers as well as some sacred music. MUSIC CLUB The membership in the music club for this year has been much larger because membership was opened to members of the seventh and eighth grades as well as the high school. Several of the meetings were musical in content, and others were purely of a social nature. Many members ,of the group have been very active in musical groups of the school and community. A few members attended concerts in nearby cities and others reported on musical broadcasts and movies which they had seen and heard recently. GIRLS ATHLETIC CLUB Firsr row: P. Wogenstahl, V.

The purpose of this club is to give awards to the girls who have earned them by playing on teams and by hlling other requirements. Our basketball team won every game we played this year. The girls have enjoyed participating in this club and we hope to make it a better club in the future. ATIILETIC CLUB The Athletic Club is a new club at Ross. The purpose of the club is to take up games not usually participated in by high school students, and to play them and familiarize the boys with a variety of games. In its first year at Ross, they sponsored a basketball tournament among grades 4 to 12. Another of its projects was the offering of T-shirts for sale to the student body. The T-shirts had a maroon ram on the front and ROSS spelled out above it, and Ross on the back. THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club was organized to promote interest in dramatics and public speaking. Membership is open to students from grades 7 to 12. At the meetings, which are held during the regularly scheduled club periods, programs are presented by mem- bers of the club. The programs this year have featured poems, monologues, black-face skits, and demonstrations on applying make-up. As a climax to our year's work, we are working on three one-act plays using senior girls as student directors. Our meetings are brought to a close by the serving of refreshments. First row: D.

BASKETBALL The Rams won 10 of the 18 games played, which is proof enough of a moderate season of basketball. They were eliminated in the tournament by Hanover. RESERVE TEAM INDIVIDUAL SCORES E.

The program of the Ross Chapter of the F.H.A. for the year 1948-49 was planned to cover a wide range of interest and activity including self improve- ment, community and county friendships and international good will. This year we have sixty members. We have twenty-three girls with Junior Homemaker Degrees, sixteen girls with Chapter Homemaker Degrees, and four girls working for State Homemaker Degrees. The girls in the sophomore and freshman classes worked very hard for their Junior or Chapter Homemaker Degrees. All the girls who met the re- quirements for these degrees received them at a formal ceremony. Four of the junior and senior girls worked for their State Homemaker Degree and hope to receive it at the State meeting in April. Five of the members, our club mother, Mrs. Burns, and our adviser, Miss Etter, attended our regional meeting at Greenville. Jean McCalley was elected regional secretary. The Fl-I.A. girls re-decorated the Home Ec. room this year. We made red and white gingham curtains with tablecloths and napkins to match. We also painted the tables, chairs, and cabinets and recovered the screens. The F.H.A. Club also carried on a variety of activities. In the fall we helped to sponsor a scrap drive with the Booster Club. We also held a bake sale on market. The girls donated all the goods for the bake sale. In March the girls sponsored a 50-50 dance and bazaar. The junior and senior girls took care of the decorating and advertising. The sophomore girls were in charge of the refreshments and the freshman girls in charge of the bazaar. The profit made from these activities will help to sponsor our F.H.A.-F.F.A. Banquet in April and will help to send delegates to our State meeting. We think this year has been one of the most successful years the Ross F.H.A. has had. First row: C. Slander, C.Ross, L.

Y-TEENS The Y-Teens have had a very prosperous year. We have put on many enjoyable programs for our own club as well as other clubs of Ross. At our very first meeting, after the business, we went on a hike and had a very nice time. The girls of our club presented a style show for the rest of the clubs. We modeled clothes for different occasions and seasons of the year. The dance we sponsored was one of the largest dances ever held at Ross School. The club was very proud of how the girls worked to make the dance a huge success. Our club went to camp over a week end last fall and had a very nice time We returned to school a happy but tired bunch of girls. The year of 1948-49 has been a very successful one for the Ross Y Teens H-Y This year the Ross Chapter of the Hi-Y is under the leadership of Mr Henry Wilson and Mr. Robert Cleaver. So far this year we have had election of officers for the coming year, and we heard Mr. Gordon Pickens from Hamilton speak to us. One of our meetings was held with the Y-Teens. At this meeting, we had an oral discussion using questions furnished by the entire school. We also made preparations to send delegates to the Hi-Y Conference. Along with other activities we helped sponsor the Christmas program for the school. We are looking forward to successful years to follow.
