Oh! What a Wondrous Thing It Is And what do you think of these prize beauties, my friend? Aren’t these snaps something to write home about? Lets say a few words about each one, shall we? ... Here is Harold Smith, former teacher at Rowe, with a few erstwhile present-day Juniors . . . Only two of these boys in school, Paul Evans and Bob Schlaich, Kay Graff in the Navy . . • Would you know the dignified Shirley Emhoff . . . And look who’s laughing—must be a stunt at the French Club party . . . Some basketball greats— Rob Puffer and Clarence Kennedy, resting on their laurels . . . My, my, what good looking children, none other than the Healys—notice that loving attitude between them . . . What a manly physique on Evans, must come from Calisthenics . . . Look at this Class picture of the 7th grade at Rowe some years ago . . . Why the grouchy look, Clarence (maybe cause he couldn’t sit with the girls) notice the little angels Kultti, Wheeler, Healy, and Atkins in the front row . . . Bessie is pushing someone under maybe its Armstrong . . . two demure Juniors, Margaret and Lois ... an old picture of sophs . . . Oh, my, that frosh initiation. Billy Sanger would make a nice-looking old lady . . . Mary Lu and Betty are being squeezed in the picture, don’t you think . . . looks like Graham’s rumpus room.

When the season opened the Vikings were off to a good start. After defeating New Lyme and North Kingsville bad luck hounded them. Edgewood gave the Vikings their first defeat. Being inactive for a month due to snow they returned to the floor to be defeated once again when Jefferson edged Rowe out by two points. Cn the same week end they had another two point set-back—this time by Spencer. After this the Vikings were back on their feet and at mid-year Richard Wheeler joined the cagers. The Vikings then came through with nine straight wins until Ashtabula Harbor stopped them. The two remaining games for the season found the Blue and Gold on top. After defeating Fairport by winning this consolation game they closed the season with a victory over West Springfield.
