We, the Class of 1945, with full realization of the great loss our graduation will be to U.C.H.S., and feeling it our duty to relieve, in some way, the loneliness that will pervade the high school after our departure do, hereby, bestow upon our fellow schoolmates these priceless possessions: To Miss Sears, Betty Bushaw leaves the care of the library. James Ellison leaves his boisterous, aggressive manner to jerry Kantner. -Ioan and Annabelle Welch leave their brothers, Bob and Joe, to any unsuspecting girls who want them. Casanova Whitesel leaves to Bob Weimer his love life. To Dick O'Dell, Gene Bennett bequeaths those morning sessions in the principal's office that you have, when you arrive just a little late. Perky, Lucille, and Shirley are living examples that good things come in small packages, so they leave their small images to Beverly Hiatt, Lois Lantz leaves behind a piano. If anyone feels equal to Lois' talent, let him come forth and claim his inheritance. Marcella Whistler leaves to the next person her job of office girl for the principal's office. joan Mangas leaves her secretarial work of the bowling league to the next person who is sucker enough to take it. Earlene Merritt leaves a good government record to Windy Resor. Good luck, Windy! Roger Dye leaves to the school a little Dye fhis brother, and a fond remembrance that the school is not dead 'til it's all Dyed out, Jim Geyer says he wants to give his typing class back to the Indians, so he hasn't anything to leave. A quiet air of refinement is left by Red Dog to any freshman boy in hopes that he won't mess up sophistication anymore than John did. We don't know anyone who can do justice to Pat Lahey's quiet disposition unless it is Marilyn Bupt. Ann Chattin leaves to Iris Fulk, her shy, retiring personality that is the symbol of the American girl of today. Betty Baker wills her job in the store to Phyllis Bratton. Be careful of those fresh eggs , Phyllis. Jack O'Connor and Bob Turner bequeath to the fairer sex a remembrance of their lovely curls. F201 To Peg Huffer Jean Frazler leaves her many loves and remember Peg as Jean w1sely puts lt There s more than one fish ln the sea or Who s next?

Some are following an acaf demic course and others are taking general courses which include shop, home economics, and art. Under the excellent sponsorship of Miss Brady, we have come to the end of a very successful year.

Although it has been more difficult to publish a yearbook, due to the scarcity of ma' terials, the staff did not want to give up the annual tradition of editing the Successus.

The Girls' Athletic Association was reorganized this fall hy a committee of four high school girls, a memher from each class, and Miss Mairy Lou Sears as sponsor. This organization is to develop good sportsmanship and interest in girls' sports. Our planned activities include haskethall, kickhall, volleyhall, and ring tennis. The following officers were elected: Rohena Reid, presidentz Helen Rosenhush, secretaryftreasurer: Marilyn Thomas, program chairman: Janet Kantner, point chair- man. 9 Again this year, as in previous years, an intramural hasketliall schedule was carried out for those hoys not playing with the Wildczits or Kittens.

Joan Mangas is the Leagues secretary. The games were Hgured on a handcap basis. This gave the team with the lower averaged bowlers a chance to win. Most of the members were inexperienced or entirely new at the game but that didn't stop them' from having a lot of good, clean fun. The season was the best we have had for several years and the competition was keen. T351 1 v , 1 ' V. . , I 4, f H ML 1 - -ul -'W V 1 ' w I , x n m g. ,.

Samldwtg . . . rs, L -., l . In October, Union sented with the opportunity of hearing Carl Sandburg one of America's greatest poets and biographers. As Mr. Sandburg walked onto the stage a silence fell over the audience. All eyes were turned o n the tall, whitefhaired man wearing a black suit and his usual bow tie. Mr. Sandburg, scanning the audience with his ex' pressive blue eyes, began to speak. His voice was deep and powerful, and resounded through the vacant halls. Mr. Sandburg's program was divided into three parts. He first lectured on Lincoln and told several anecdotes about him. His lecture was delivered in a sincere, clear- cut view of his subject. The second portion of the program was the recitation of several of his poems. The audience felt quite hon' ored to hear a poem that he had written and was ref citing for the first time. Mr. Sandburg remarked that he had written it for the Phi Beta Kappa honor fraternity at William and Mary's College. In the third part of his program, Mr. Sandburg turned to the lighter side, and sang some American folk songs, accompanying himself on the guitar. Mr. Sandburg pref sented a wellfrounded program scattered with bits of huf C.. .., .L mor and wise philosophy. Born in Galcsburg, Illinois, Mr. Sandburg started working after leaving high school at thirteen. He volunf tccrcd in thc SpanishfAmerican war and went to Puerto Rico. After he returned he attended Lombard College at Calesburg. His greatest wo rks are his siw volumes on the life of Abraham Li l Th . . nco n, e Prairie 'Years and The War Tears. In I9-Hath-1 ' ' ' cy xxon Mr, Sandburg the Pulitizer Prize. Mr. Sandburg is outstanding as the poet of industrial America: and his poems, written in the language of the comma 'lv ' ' 1 n vtor cr, are protests against social injustice.

Under his ahle di' rection the Wildcats had a very successful season and came out at the top of the counf ty net standings with fourteen wins and three losses. Tom ,letferis has heen the student mana- ger of the team. The Union City Wildcats enjoyed a very successful season throughout their sehedf uled games with fourteen wins and only three losses. These thre were to Muiacie, Dun' kirk, and Redkey. However, such a good season does 11Ot necessarily mean a winning tournament team. During the Saratoga Invitational Tournament the Wildcats were def feated by jackson, Ind. in their first game hy a small margin. The Union City five en' tered the Sectional Tourney with the laest of chances and high hopes. Nevertheless the dream of hecoming tourney champs was shot in the iirst game played. The Lynn Bull' dogs with a powerful :one defense were tahle to squeeze out a twofpoint advantage as the game ended, 3163. Even with the poor tourney luck the Wilcats deserve much credit for a marvelous record through the season which, by the way is the hest any Union City squad has mustered in several years. The team was hit hard hy graduation, losing seven of the ten varsity players. Among these seven, Whitesel, Huifer, Rosenhush, and Dye usually formed the opening linefup. Meredith, O'Connor, and Bennett hroke into the list quite often. Stentzel, Cotter, and Brown will remain to form the nucleus of Wildcat team next year. 1 i ,. W X .

The Kittens, under the competent supervision of Mr. Brumbaugh, had a fairly sucf cesstul season. They won only nine out ot their seventeen contests but in eight county games they suffered only one defeat. The Kittens twice defeated their arch rivals, the Wiiicliester Bees, and they put up stubborn resistance against the Muiicie seconds only to be outdistanced in the final minutes of play, 2317. They won the coveted Randolph County pony shoe from Wiiichester in their second encounter and successfully defended it throughout the remainder of the season.
