One equal temper of heroic hearts, Baseball Baseball started with a “bang” at Rowe and sailed through three games with the Blue and Gold the victors. Stopped by the battling North Kingsville boys for two consecutive games, the Vikings soon got a foothold and sped on with new determination to end with flying colors as runner-up in the County Tournament. Batting averages swung high this year with Hirsimaki in the lead with .370 average; Jimmy Wheeler following at .345 and Kultti and Duane Wheeler at his heels with .333. The team, as a whole, “hit” to the average of .285 while our closest opponent was at .145. 1040 lettermen were Hirsimaki, J. Wheeler, Kultti, D. Wheeler, Holdson, Puffer, Walters, Herbel, Wiley and Hill.

The A Cappella Choir The Rowe High A Cappella Choir has again completed a successful year of hard work. The choir, composed of 36 members, 17 of which were added this year, was directed by Mrs. Alma Tailing Wellman. Many appointments were filled, including those at assemblies and P. T. A. meetings. At Ashtabula, Springfield and Conncaut they sang at church services while appearances were also made at Jefferson and Geneva. The highlight of the year was the trip to Kent March 21, where they participated in the district contest. Here they received a rating of “excellent,” the highest given to any chorus competing in this group. The winning of this rating made them eligible to enter the State contest at Columbus, April 18, where they again came through with flying colors. Gold pins in the shape of lyres were presented to all the Junior members and to those Seniors who had joined this year. The other Seniors had received similar pins last year. THE MESSIAH A large and appreciative audience attended the performance of the well-known Christmas oratorio “The Messiah,” written by George Frederick Handel, and held December 14, 1940 in the Rowe High School auditorium. The combined music department, consisting of the Girls Glee Club, the Boys’ Glee Club, the Girls’ Chorus, and the A Cappella Choir participated in it. This is the first time that a piesentation of this kind has ever been given at our school and it was received with great acclaim by music critics in this vicinity. Guest soloists from out of town were featured. The alto and bass soloists, Miss Ida Mae Kaiser and Lyman Bodman were from Oberhn C onservatory and Miss Helena Strassburger, the director of the music department at Andrews School, Willoughby, was the soprano soloist. The pianist for the occasion, Miss Evelyn Smith was also a student at the Conservatory.
