Senior Reminiscences Four years ago we started climbing the steps of high school to a career. At last we have reached the summit of our school education, but let us tarry awhile. As we look down the stairs we are reminded of many profitable and entertaining happenings. As Freshmen we were as green as the majority of them. At our first enrollment we numbered 56. Through our Digging and working together, we came up the steps as Sophomores. At this stop we were well represented in athletics and the musical organizations. We were privileged to have one social affair which was the annual Weiner roast. Through the careful guidance of Mr. Pennington in the first two years, we were again led up another Hight and we paused as Juniors. Our Junior year proved our power to Dig . Our first big event was the class play, Speeding Along . The dramatic ability of our class was well exhibited. The Seniors invited us to their rabbit supper and at the close of the term we entertained them very successfully. We have reached the top with Miss Deemer as our sponsor. Durng the first semester we met the Juniors at the weiner roast and rabbit supper. The initation of the new members on the school enrollment, also Miss Townsend and Mr. Kurth, was enjoyed by everyone. We presented the plays Dumb Do1ivar and 5B10,000 Reward with great success. For the second year the girls have won the school championship in the Intramural Tournament, and this year our boys received the honor of being the winner. The Juniors receive our regards for the fine reception they gave in our honor. Our class was again represented in the athletics, glee clubs, orchestra, and band. Now, as we enter the corridor, the Alumni are bidding us welcome, but as we glance down the steps we see the faculty standing below us with underclassmen whom they will bring up the same flight in the coming years. Many are the times we went to class unprepared, but the faculty stood by with patience. The underclassmen who are watch- ing will soon be following in our footsteps to a commence- ment. Our part is finished but theirs is yet to come. With regret that we must part, we bid the faculty and those who take our place a kind Farewell .

Miss Townsend Miss Rickenbacher Miss Miller Mr. Balo Miss Hursh Our other new teacher is Miss Mabel Townsend, a former graduate of Spencer- ville High School. She attended Miami University where she received the degree of B. S. in Ed. This year the girls' basktball team, under her guidance, was declared County League Champion and was runner-up in the tournament. This proves her coaching ability. Her chief desire in school teaching is to develop a democratic and cooperative spirit among the students. Commercial subjects are taught by Miss Wilma Rickenbacher. She holds the degree of B. S. in Ed. from Ohio Northern University. Her aim is to help prepare the student for a business career. Miss Rickenbacher resigned and her place has been filled capably by Miss Florence Bancroft of Urbana, Ohio. Miss Ruth Miller, the home economics teacher, received her degree of B. S. in Ed. at Bowling Green College. Her subjects are practical because they prepare the stu- dent for later life. The cooking class, under Miss Miller's supervision, has proven its merits by cooking for the various social functions of the year. Vocational Agriculture is efficiently taught by W. L. Balo. Here the students are prepared for a vocation which will prove useful to them. He is the director of the Iluture Farmers Club. Mr. Balo graduated from Ohio State University where he received a B. S. degree in agriculture. The close of the '35 term marked Miss Elinor Hursh's fifteenth year in Spencer- ville schools. She is our music and art director. This year the operetta And It Rained was' successfully given under her supervision. Her patience and kindness have won for her many friends. Page eight
