SENIOR STATIC August 14, 1950 Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Station A B C bringing you Paul Sutton and the events of the day. From the nation's capital today come reports that the distinguished senator, Robert Redick, has introduced a bill, making upholstered seats compulsory in all public schools. Also in Washington circles, is the report that Directress Annabelle Morris is soon to award the Harmon Trophy to that intrepid aviator, Lieut. Frank Mack, for his recent round-the-world hop in the amazing time of 12 hours. Also to be present at the awarding of the medal are Secretary of the State, Mary Maurer, Secretary of War, Ruth Hays, and the Secretary of the Navy, Lela Ruth Bowen, with her assistant, Juliana Miller. The eminent physicist, John W. Cochrun, has astounded the scientific world, by finding a perfect vacuum-in the head of one his co-workers, Robert Townsend. Prof. Dwight Becker has squared the circle by a secret formula which he is trying to sell to a dough-nut company. Warden John Hilty of Sing-Sing has announced that the riot there is well under control, although two guards, Dee Sherer and Lester Schwartz, were injured in the uprising.. Trouble is brewing in the labor world today. President Albert Sproul. of the Push-Easy Perambulator Company, is at this time negotiating for peace with James Miller, the head of the striking workers in his plant, who complained because they had to advertise the perambulators. With the arrival of Federal Negotiator Edith Hayman, it is hoped that the matter will soon be closed. Harold Boyer's Follies opened today in New York, featuring Miss Fern Hover- man. Also included in the repertoire are the following well known chorus girls: Mary Rockhold, Pauline Seibert, Nancy McNeal, Ruth Wilson, Mary Hindenlang, and Grace Wiseman. Betty Rider and her world famous Gorgeous Girls Band are leav- ing New York today for a three month tour in Europe. In the sports world we have the opening game of the world series. Lowell Bow- ersock, pitching for the Toledo Mud Boats, shut out the Chicago Dirty Sox, in the most spectacular game of the season. Gabby Miller, catcher for the Dirty Sox, was today suspended from the league for calling Umpire Russ Carr a prevaricator. ' Pete Patrick, stellar short stop of the Mud Boats, still holds the lead in the season's batting average with his .444. Today witnessed the finals of the women's National Open tennis matches, Hazel Goodwin defeating Evelyn Leffel for the single champion- ship, and the team of Helen and Cleona Martin going down to defeat at the hands of Emaline Haller and Martha Rohrbach. News of the kidnapping of two American missionaries, Helen Snyder and Gladys Lies, comes to us through the Renga News Agency. They are being held by river pirates for a ransom of 2,000 yen. Here is good news for housewives. Prof. Dean Deniston has just succeeded in producing an onion which, according to professors, will never cause tears. From Spencerville, Ohio, comes news of a 375,000 hold-up of the Canal Bank in that city. Cashiers Madge Kinney and Frances Burnett were forced to lie on the fioor while the robbers scooped the money into bags and then made their get-away. Word of the robbery was immediately sent out to neighboring police by chief-of-police, Mary Lauer, and G-women Ruth Oehlhof and Frances Fronk are on the job now, furnished with descriptions of the bandits by the president of the bank, Donelda Taylor, and three customers at the time of the robbery, LaDonna Huber, Wilma Thompson, and Muriel Robison. Your announcer is Vaughn Hilty. This is Station A B C now signing off. L. V. H., '36 n Tm

SENIORS END HIGH SCHOOL CAREERS In September, 1932, 67 Freshmen were on the start- ing line for the starter's gun. Dwight Decker was our pace setter for the start, and that was an important part of our race, as we were later to learn. Unfortu- nately, some of the participants had not trained as well in grade school for this race as they should have, and as a result the were forced to drop out of the Y race or back. We received nourishment in the form of the Freshman-Sophomore and by the time we were at the first most of us weie getting our wind and accustomed to the new track , with the or ourvtrainer, Mr. Hauser. As we went into the second quarter of pace-setter was John Cochrun, and we on the run weiner roast, quarter post were getting helpful hints our race, our retained Mr. Hausser as our trainer Various members len thened - g their stride, and went out into outside activities such as baseball, basketball and music. We again received nourishment on the run at the Freshman-Sophomore weiner roast, although we didn't do as much running as the Frosh! As we came into the half-way mark, we were running along smcothly, and thought our- selves ready for whatever might come. A The third quarter of our run was the hardest yet. We had to dig right in and pull to put over everything with the finish that we felt was necessary, but then we had the satisfaction of seeing a job well done , on our class plays Huburt the Great and Hero by the Hour , and at our reception for the Seniors. Dean Deniston was our pacesetter this quarter, and Miss Reiner was our new trainer. Some of our good run- ners again went in for the outside activities, and made their mark, in scholarship as well as in athletics. As we entered the last lap of our big race, headed by Dean Deniston and Miss Deemer as our trainer, our team consisted of 49 members, not as many as we started out with, but probably the best of the lot- those who will always come through in the pinches- those who we will be proud to have graduated with-- those to whom we will go when we need a friend or want a favor. If we thought the third lap was a difficult one, this last one was doubly so. There were many things for everyone to do, and outside activities seemed at times to take all of our time, but we managed to soak enough knowledge into our heads to put 80 per cent of our Senior Scholarship team in the high ten per cent of the county. As we come to the finish of our race, we have set up a record, high enough for any class to have to work to equal, and envious enough to be the goal of any class. At times the running has been bad, the fellow ahead of us has thrown cinders in our face, we have gotten into holes from which we thought we would never get out, but always if we would just dig our spikes in a little deeper, we would come out. Then on the other hand, we all have memories of good times, which we shall never forget. So, we wish to compli- ment the faculty on the remarkable way in which they have controlled their tempers, and wish them many happy returns of the day. L. V.
