Our day of parting comes at last; { We’re going to leave you now. • We’ve studied hard yet had much fun, In classes and at play. Yea! Many victories have we won— ( That gallant Viking way! i Ere we depart we’ll drink a toast To dear ones who’ve ever been true; : Tis of our parents that we boast, : And of our teachers too. At last we stand at the threshold— I Anew our life to begin. ( With high hopes we part from Blue and Gold ( To face the world and win. Oh, one and all we bid adieu. Departing we’ll shed a tear; j But someday we’ll have a rendezvous At Rowe with classmates dear. I —Willard Puffer. 26

Having phenomenal success during the regular season, the Viking nine entered the A. C. H. S. A. A. tournament, and with Fred Hirsimaki’s shut-out pitching and Dwane Wheeler’s circus-catching battled to victory by crushing, in order, North Kingsville, Edgewood, New Lyme, and Andover in the finals. By virtue of their tourney victories, the baseball team is eligible for the Kent tourney. The eagle-eyed batters swatted the apple for a team average of .245 for the ’41-42 season. They were led by Harold (Dutch) Wiley, who slugged the ball to the tune of .318, and was followed closely by Rich Wheeler with .278 and Bob Holdson with .263. Lettermen were Rob Puffer, Holdson, Wiley, Dwane Wheeler, Rich Wheeler, Walters, Hirsimaki, Knauff and McCrone. 25
