1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 FAREWELL ADDRESS 7 gag- ONIGHT is the happiest and yet the saddest occasion which we have known in our four years of High School. We are happy .. that at last we are to take our places in the world and begin seriously the business of living, we are sadder than mere words A-4 QA-.DL can express to leave our High School and all that it has meant to us. We have spent these last four years in preparation for life-in pre- paring ourselves to live fully and successfully. Our instructors have guid- ed and taught us to the very best of their ability, but the extent too which each one has received of this teaching, has depended upon the extent to which each one gave of his care and attention. Whether we go on to school, or go out into the world of business we will find that the same principle holds true-as we give, of our energy and talent, so will we re- ceive in success. And with the preparation given to us by our High School we are going out to give of the best that is in us. When we were Freshmen, the time when we should be Seniors seemed far away and almost unattainable. To Freshmen sitting in the back rows at Chapel the front row seats, dedicated to Seniors, seemed highly desir- able. The Senior year Was a goal toward which we strove and the first row in Chapel, the symbol of that goal. The goal drew nearer and nearer until at last we were Seniors, and last September marching down the aisles at the first assembly we took our places in the first rows. We each felt a thrill of excitement and pleasure the day that we could look back from the very first places and mark the stages of our progress by rows of seats. But now-now the goal has been attained, We have finished our Senior year, we have sat for a year in the first rows, and now we must set for our- selves a new goal, must set for ourselves a new symbol. May we never be content until we stand in the very front rank of those who have achieved success! Our class has given its share of athletes, of scholars to the school. We have contributed to the football teams, the basket ball teams, debating teams, to every undertaking of our school. We have deepened old trails and blazed new ones. To the class of '29 the Words, But no one has done it before, have always been a challenge and we have accepted it. Tonight our fervent wish is that the class of '29 may go forth in life with the same spirit, may we blaze new trails, do great things, and- greatest of all-may we live true to the ideals of our school. May this class of i'29 be one of which Rossford will be proud and one which will bring honor to the Maroon and Gray. Tonight as We look back at our four years of school life, four years of happiness and friendship, we feel regret at leaving, but as we look forward to the morrow and the work which we will accomplish we are eager to set our feet in the new way. So with these mingled feelings of joy and sad- ness, does the Class of '29 say tonight, Farewell to Rossford High School. -H. L. H. lPage 101

1929 - THE MAROON AND GRAY - 1929 ,ga WNIOQ samoas. 'Q at UUE DUB cc Q5 OUR years ago 60 green freshmen came Wandering into the building try- ing to look intelligent. This year we leave much wiser than then fat least f,r'fr,iqFX1 we think sol. In that year Malcolm Hanselman was chosen president, Jack McCaslin, Vice-President, and Madeline Richards, Secretary and Sig Treasurer. We had a large class, but some felt the lure of the working 944- L? world, and we had lost 16 members when our Sophomore year began. Mary Kinstle was President, and Madeline Richards, Secretary and Treasurer. A new mem- ber, Marjorie Purdy, came from Cygnet to join our ranks. This class contributed greatly to athletics, Bob Lewis, Malcolm Hanselman, Alphonse LaHote, Kenneth Sym- ington were on the football team and several of these boys also played basket ball and baseball. Teresa Bauer, Marjorie Purdy, Myrtle Carr, Lucille Hamel, and Susie Sand- ers were the Sophomores on the girls' basket ball team. Also, the Honor Roll always contzgned one or two Sophomores. The Hi-Spy and Annual staffs had their Sophomore mem ers. When the Junior year opened we found that our class had lost another 16 mem- bers. Nevertheless we started the year with a bang. Again Mary was our President and Marjorie, Secretary and Treasurer. Athletics had its share of Juniors and the Honor Roll also blossomed with Juniors. Then this enterprising class gave a first run play, Cupid Scores a Touchdown, which certainly scored a hit. It was repeat- ed at the M. E. Church. Along with the proceeds from these performances and a great deal more that these Jewish incented Juniors raised by Hcramming' 'hot dogs and ice cream into folks at basket ball games, and a few Hthousand' 'candy bars during the week, we managed to give the Seniors and the Faculty a wonderful banquet at the Vanity Fair. Yes, Sir! that year was surely a whirlwind . 1929-It's here at last with the class twenty-three strong. Mary was again Presi- dent, Jack McCaslin, Vice-President, and Malcolm Hanselman, Secretary-Treasurer. Football found Lewis, Hanselman, Golbinec, LaHote, and Williams back in harness and they all gave a good account of themselves. In debating three seniors, Helen Harris, Malcolm Hanselman, and Jack McCaslin gained quite a reputation for R. H. S. Basket Ball had its senior stars: Schiffgen, Lewis, and Frautschi played on the boys' first team. Marjorie Purdy was captain of the girls' team. The Senior basket ball boys' team won the class trophy. The Seniors also participated in the Music and Literary Contests in Wood County. Yes, the Seniors were there in everything. The Senior Play, The Charm School was given with the usual huge success and then the goal of our high school came-Commencement. Helen Harris was Valedictor- ian and Malcolm Hanselman Salutatorian. Thus ends the taleg we have finished. Good bye-dear Rossford High. May your halls always ring with the joy and the happiness that we have known. -M. H. lPage 111
