CContinuedl We shall skip the rest of the data and dates prior to September 9, 1958, when we met as the class of '42 under the leadership of Mr. Paul Hogan, our adviser. There were then twenty-seven members in our class. They were as follows: John' Beatty, Ovid Timmons, Lyle Walters, Harry Bowshier,Elwin Bea- vers, Mack Drake, Richard Willoughby, Glenn Haughn, Leora Nano, Isabel McGhee, Gladys Bowshier Geneva Shoaf, Maxine Drake, Pearl Melvin, Helen Hiiton,Leo- ta Sprouse, Warren Dennis, Dolores Beavers,Dale Mar- tin, Theresa Mason, Betty Smith, Robert ' McKinley Nolan sines, Elvin Layton, Paul Thatcher, and Max Neg. The freshmen initiation was the highest joy of the year--the high school was disrupted for days before by the upper classmen who were devising ways and means of ngetting our goatsu, yet showing us in every move, trick, and thought, how glad they weretm have us in their midst. Before the year was over, we had shown our colors. Harry Bowshier won scholastic fame for our class by placing second over the alge- bra county scholarship team. Practically all the boys played on the junior high basketball team. At this time sevensixteenths of the orchestra memb- ers were frehhies. During our sophomore year, with Mr. Raymondlkc- ney as adviser, our schoolmates came to revere us. Our successes in athletics, orchestra, and scholar- ship tests were our own triumphs and joys, as well as those of the other classes. This year Gladys Bow- shier topped all high school pupils in the English Selection Tests, and Max Neal placed first in the county, and sixth in the district. Our enrollment changed from twenty-seven to twenty-six. We lost Nolan Sines and Theresa Mason but gained our L jolly Billy Painter. ' Our junior class was overjoyed when Mr. R. A.

V 1---iss-m-me--megan-f-as--J-r CLASS HISTORY This is a story of achievements. As historian of the great class of '42 of Scioto Township, my task is of great magnitude. Perhaps H. G. Wells or Edwin Pahlow could do justice to this task and could reveal in a minute description a thousand re- alistic,details, but mine is only a very feeble attemp to tell the story of the last four years of our Senio Class. Pergpps you are a hard, leve1-headed,practi- cal senior who does not care for cloudy abstracticl or musings. You want just facts. On the other hand, you may prefer moments of daydreaming for visualization of You are given to want to remember you look back to or that pleasant the ugood old days' of the past. idealization. But all of you will events of high school days when this time. You will recall this event, or this or that beautiful association or comradeshipg you will want some marks by which to recall these fond memories.
