This would put them in the A-group which is the upper fourth in the entire state. A Christmas Party was held in the home of Helen Aspacher on the evening of December 21, 1940. Gifts were exchanged. Every- one left with a smile. After a good rest during Christmas vacation we were all eager to come back to school. The Seniors and Freshmen looked out one day and saw that the Village Hill was covered with snow so they decided a coasting party was in order. With Uthe more the merrieru as the motte the two classes collaborated on a party on January 28, 1941. We selected our invitations this year from the Balfour Company The crest of our ring appears on the front of the invitation. The question of what to wear for graduation was settled by a majority of the class voting for caps and gowns. Four of our members, Irvine McCann, Lowell Hasel, Winifred Bushman, and Ellen Canfield, took part in the Senior Scholarship test held at Bowling Green on March 29. Irvine placed second in the county and Lowell, fifth. The Senior Play NAll Grown Upn was under the sponsorship of Mr. Clark. We closed a successful year with Baccalaureate Services May 18, Senior Day Program May 19, and Commencement Exercises May 25. ssmiea CLASS Hisronv - s ' Back in 1929 a group of us started to Webster to begin our school days of Headin', 'Ritin', and 'Rithmetic. Under the direction of Miss Ruth Studer, we found it wasn't half bad to be away from home and soon our tears were gone and we were learning to read through books, write pages of words, and do our numbers correctly. -I .a s-. a s ' 1.94 e- -s.

hill These six rules of conduct, nBe your own driver, Be fair to the other fellow, Be governed by facts, Live up to your work, Remember that work is a normal part of life and Keep your chin upn, apply not only to the young but to the old as well. One is never too old to improve. But whatever we do, we should not leave God out of the picture when we plan for our future. He is the ' one who governs our lives. He will help us when we are in trouble if we will just take time to ask Him for this help. Many people don't think they have any time for prayer,but we all should realize that success in this life is not our ultimate goal. What are a few minutes each day when compared with eternity? Lowell Hasel SENIORS The sun was shining brightly on September 5, 1940, when the new Senior Class of twenty-three members entered Webster School to complete the last mile of its journey. On September 6, 1940, we held our first class meeting and elected the following members to take charge of our class: President -------------------- Norman Jimison Vice-President ------- M ------- Robert Oberdick Secretary -------- -------- Ethel Miller Treasurer -------------------- Mary E. Johnston Mr. Croll took us under his guiding hand for the year. Our first social event was the High School Hallowe'en Party, which we sponsored. It was held in the auditorium on Ha1lowe'en night. Some of the members in our class were in the one-act play NDeferential Kindnessn, which was given on the night af the annual Chicken Supper. Many of our class were also in the op- eretta nChonitaU, which the Glee Clubs presented. December 17, 1940 ---- a bad day for the Seniors, we were given the Ohio State University Psychological Test. In the final of the students in the state, we found that several of our students were in high per centile ranks. Gentile rank indicates the standing of a pupil among lOO pupils of his grade. For in- stance 75-centile means that 74 per cent of those in the same grade are inferior and 26 per cent are superior. . ' P V41 atbev1+ie-124

Our second and third steps were under the leadership of Miss Crockett. We always had a story time Qusually continuedl. Every- one could hardly wait until we heard the exciting adventures of Uwinnie the Poohn, UReddy Foxn, and others. Miss O'Brien was our fourth and fifth grade teacher. Don't you remember the fun we had making houses in the ditch? Also the nice time we had trying to sit still after getting in the poison ivy we used for flowers. The next year, 1955, Hr. Long was the teacher who had to put up with a bunch of lively girls and boys. Thirty members managed to come out on top ready to tackle Junior High. Seventh grade--what a difference! No time for recess, a different teacher in each subject, we elected class officers, and we were even allowed to have parties. During the eighth grade the business of studying was usually our main objective although many times you could have seen quite a few of usnstudy hall gazinQ'if you happened to walk in. As always the Freshman Class is known as Ngrceniesnand of course our class of twenty-four members was no exception. During this year we had Kr. Hetrick for our class sponsor. For our sophomore year we had Hr. Clark as sponsor. Our off- icers were President--Jean Canfield, Vice President--Lowell Hasel, Secretary--Helen Aspacher, and Treasurer-Betty Pope. To get on honor rolls and to take outside subjects we studied harder, Cjust ask the tcachersl. Twenty-three of us became members of the Junior Class. Last year Kiss Donnell was our class sponsor. She and Mr. Needles directed our class playnThe Dutch Detectlven. We also entertained the Seniors at a banquet. bur officers were Prcs.-- Lowell Hasel, Vice Pres.--Norman Jinison, Secretary--Mary Johnston and Treasurer--Harold Shaffer.
