P I R A T A N We, the graduating class of 1942, have in this publication, endeavored to perpetuate the memories which we have accumulated in our years of school work at West Carrollton. This year the publication of our annual has been abnormally uncertain, due to the war. When we first considered publication, the difficulty in obtaining materials and the increased cost almost made it impossible. We feel that we have been exceedingly fortunate in overcoming these obstacles, and we wish to thank Mr. Shade, and Mr. Brown, the men who gave us the power and assistance to do so. This publication has not been made by groups of the Senior Class, but, with the exception of those members who were unable to participate due to jobs they were filling, has made use of almost every Senior Student. Consequently, the following pages represent not the talents of a minority of members, but it is representative of the Senior Class as a whole. Thanks to you, the purchasers of this book, and thanks to the advertisers who made this publication possible. It has been our hope and our aim to succeed in publishing a book which meets with your approval, and one which will become the memory-book of your personal library. PIRATES LOC The Pirates' Log is the official publication of West Carrollton High School, published bi-monthly. The purpose of the Pirates Log is to publish school activities and to acquaint the public with school events. The paper has a large exchange area, with copies being traded for those published by schools in almost every state of the union. New positions are filled each year by the more capable students in the Journalism Class. Ralph Peters served as editor-in-chief of this year's paper, while Priscilla Solomon acted as business manager. Miss Lois Carol Greene is the faculty adviser.

HI - Y As far as we can find out the Hi-Y club at West Carrollton is about 25 years old. The club this year is the largest club in the history of the school, with 33 members. The president of the club is Ralph Peters. He has held this office for two years. Bruce Williams was elected vice-president last spring, along with Edward Slonaker as secretary, Gerald Hurley as treasurer, and Jack Miller as entertainment manager. The purpose of the club is to spread Christian Character throughout the whole country. The club gives the boys a chance to meet club members from other schools. The members are voted in by the old members of the club each year, with election being held each spring. Boys from the Sophomore year on up are eligible for the club. Each spring before Easter meetings are held at the Y. M. C. A. Each meeting has a different speaker and a song period. The second meeting is usually preceded by a free swim for all the members of the club. This spring new officers will be elected. Four of the present officers are seniors. G. A. A. The club officers for this year are SENIOR GROUP OFFICERS Irma Kirlcendall...........President Mary Ellen Ross...........Vice Pres. Jean Spaulding.............Secretary Vera Schell...............Treasurer. The G.A.A. purpose is to further interest in physical education in school and out of school. Meetings were held regularly twice a month after school hours for each club to enjoy basketball and other games, covered dish dinners, roller skating and informal dances. Those girls who finished the school year with sufficient participation in sports activities taken up in class work and who had a good club attendance record were awarded felt letters by the school. Attractive red, gold and black G.A.A. pins are being worn by club members this year. These have guards showing the year of graduation. A few of the activities included for the year were, badminton, basketball, dancing, hockey, soccer, softball, track and tumbling. We have had two play-days with two outside schools this year, one at Eaton and the other at Miamis-burg. Our leader and helper is Miss Margaret Hile.
