Bobbie West, Janet Thokey, Charleen Eikenberry, Jean Spatuzzi, Jimmie Parent. History of the Class of Nineteen Forty- iliree Once upon an autumn morning came our class’ earliest dawning. When we entered Union High with greatest hopes of learning more, We were great, but now we’re greater; we are older and sedater Than when first we wrote our story in that volume gone before, In “Successus” you can read it, published in the days of yore, Read by all forevermore. Ah, distinctly we remember, it was in a bright September, That we came back to the high school when vacation days were o’er. Gladly did we greet each other, vainly did we try to smother Sorrow for the ones who came not—came not with us as of yore. We are thirty-nine in number, forty-three we’d been before. Some are gone forevermore. (Continued on next page) Slick Ely—“And things like that.” Page I wetily-onc Well, we started in our studies, found our teachers pleased to meet us, For they knew us and our records—records made in days of oie. SENIORS found in all the classes, doing work that none surpassed us, Graded higher than the highest ever given years before! By our courage and our “brainses” we have opened every dooi. Closed to us hence nevermore. Would you know our deeds of l attle� which the underclassmen prattle? We can shout about the Wildcats never seen on teams of yore, For as Freshmen we were master, and we met with no disaster When ’gainst other teams in conflict we fought harder than before. We were winners, winners, winners, but it made the others sore. And they’ll love us nevermore. We arc famous for our beauty and our loyalty to duty. We’ve among us baseball stars as were ne’er on teams of yore. In classrooms we are noted; and we’re growing more devoted To our English, shop, and shorthand than we ever were before. Yes, we love old Union High, and we’re loyal to the core, Loyal now and evermore. Hear us read our modest story. Charge us not with pure vain glory, For we look toward the tomorrow ; all our sins we do deplore— All our evenings in the pool hall, calling Latin one great bore; All our yelling in the classroom, all our marking desks and doors. In the days to come we’re hoping, with temptations ever coping. That our lives will grow more worthy of our boastful words of yore. That is that—there’s nothing more. Page wcnly-two Miss Rubey—“Shirley, put on your shoe!” LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-three, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament: To our teachers, we will our outstanding record to be used as the perfect example for future students.

After twenty weeks, however, we became a class of thirty-four members. Twenty-two of us are pecking typewriters, scribbling shorthand, and studying bookkeeping in the business course. '1 he other twelve Juniors are either pursuing the chemistry and Latin of the academic course, 01 are delving into the kitchen and shop work of the vocational course. All this work and we Juniors still find time for band, orchestra, and chorus rehearsals; baseball and basketball practice; intra-mural and 0. A. A. workouts; “Westerner” and “Successus” jobs; Roys’ Club and Sub-Deb activities. Robert Caron, Richard Stewart, and Kathryn Montano voice our problems and ideas on the Student Council. During the first of the school year, we elected our class officers: Robert Caron, president: Richard Stewart, vice-president; Carol Vernon, secretary ; Dorothy Armstrong, treasurer. Under the direction of Mrs. Dunten and Mr. Brumbaugh, our class sponsors, we chose silver-gray and maroon as class colors. Soon after the class organization, we began the sale of Christmas wreaths. Our next undertaking was the Junior Class play, “Plane Crazy”. We sponsored several dances after the basketball games. As the year drew to a close, we Juniors entertained the Seniors with the annual Junior-Senior reception. We look forward to our coming Senior year with great expectations. —Don McCorkle.

In selecting our subjects, all lift}' of 11s are taking the required English. Some are pursuing the academic course; some prefer the business course; and others are getting in on the practical side with home economics and shop. Sixteen of us are in the hand and orchestra. We can also add that the drum major—Bob Turner—is a member of our Sophomore Class. Most of us are taking physical education. The boys play basketball and the girls play Indian kickball, ring tennis and basketball. J. C. Lyons, Bob bluffer. Bob Turner, Phil Whitesel, Roger Dye, Bob Rosenbush, and Gene Bennett are on the basketball squad.

Mr. Harader—“20 minutes at 3:20.” SUB-DEBS Under their officers, Lola Hendricks and Sue Fitzgerald, the Sub-Debs got off to a grand start in September by sponsoring the first get-together of the year. Football at Harter Park, hot dogs, and dancing at school made a swell combination. Halloween time saw the Sub-Debs planning another exciting party. The gym was turned into a real corn field by tons of corn shocks, bales of hay. and stolen pumpkins. Thanksgiving Day drew near and the club planned and gave an exceptional Thanksgiving program. Later in the fall, the club entered enthusiastically into the Bond-Selling Contest, outselling the Boys’ Club by several thousand dollars. After the semester exams had taken their toll, the Sub-Debs made plans for their annual Valentine party. As a Valentine present to the teachers, parodies were sung to them by Ruth Sanford. Leon Teegarden, Romaigne Thomas, and Bud Haber. In April the Sub-Debs sponsored Mrs. John Cummings’ reading of Barrie’s play, “What Every Woman Knows.” One of the last activities planned by the Sub-Debs was a party at the theatre and a dance in the gym. Instead of presenting their traditional scholarship to an outstanding high school girl the Sub-Debs have decided to give a twenty-five dollar war bond to a senior girl. —Margaret Read G. A. A. The purpose of the Girls’ Athletic Association is to encourage girls’ sports and promote good sportsmanship in high school. We elected Eleta Merritt president, Anne Coleman vice-president and Carlene Merritt secretary-treasurer. Headed by Mrs. Brierly, we played basketball, badminton, and volley ring tennis during the winter. In November Betty Jean Wallick won honors for her outstanding playing ability in the ring-tennis tournament. Early in the spring, we began our bowling activities and made plans for hiking and archery. —Margaret Read INTRAMURAL The Intra-Mural program this year started in the fall with soccer and football at Harter Park. Later, two rounds of a basketball intra-mural league completed the activities. Without a defeat, the Pussy-cats won the first round of hardwood play while the Demons and Bench warmers finished in a deadlock for second place. The second session ended with the Benchwarmers and Pussycats tied for first berth while a strong Demon five finished close on their heels. —Bill Ely Page Thirty-six Gloria—“I’m in love.” U. C. H. S. AND THE WAR During the past year, this high school has seen some important changes take place, so that it can better serve in the all-out war effort. Not only have new classes been added, but members of the faculty and student body have taken their places in the ranks of the armed forces. 1 hose leaving this school tor the army were Pfc. Hamilton, former business teacher, 1’fc. Hugh Armstrong and Pvt. John Lyons, members of the Junior Class. At the beginning of the second semester, James Parent entered Ohio State University on an accelerated college plan, and illiam Ely entered Indiana University under an accelerated program in April. William Wilson and William Caron entered Hall State College, leaving the high school in March. I here are others who will probably leave before school begins next fall. So that those interested could learn more about aviation, Mr. Brumbaugh’s physics class was turned into a course on pre-aviation and model-plane building. The physical education classes were extended to meet the requirements of the new physical fitness program, and a class in international radio code was begun during the second semester under the direction of Mr. Harr. I he school has also helped in other city defense programs. In October a war bond drive was launched by the Sub Deb and Hoys’ Clubs in the form of a contest to see who could sell more stamps and bonds. The boys helped in the scrap metal and paper salvage drives, and the girls in the home economics classes made armbands for the blackout officials. Members of the student body, along with the teachers, have helped in the rationing of sugar, tuel oil. and canned goods. Social hours were held in which the admission was either a tin can or a defense stamp. In the spring, a basketball tournament between classes was held. The proceeds, a total of sixty dollars, were donated to the Red Cross. U. C. H. S. is doing its share. —Kathryn Montano Pnijc Thirty-seven Gene Evans—“Hold it, Miss Regel.

Fighting hard at all times, a completely new Kitten quintet racked up a .714 average by winning 10 tilts while dropping 4. The sophomores formed the nucleus for the second team, but the frshmen and juniors aided the Crimson effort. Height, rebounding ability, and pass work were the main cogs in the Kitten offensive. Fight always persisted. From time to time, regulars were moved to the varsity, and this handicapped the seconds: however, they gamely kept up their spirit by filling in to the best of their ability. Winchester managed to win two of the four contests lost, with Dunkirk and Portland each winning one. Mr. Brumbaugh became the second team mentor late in the season in order to give Mr. McCullough, the ’Cat coach, more time to work with the varsity.
