VAN ATTA, B.S., M.A. Superintendent In 1955, Ada High School welcomed a new Superintendent, Mr. Van Atta. This was actually a homecoming for Mr. Van Atta as he was born near Ada and received his B.S. at Ohio Northern University. Later he continued his education at Ohio State University where he earned an M.A. in Education. His experiences range from teaching in a one-room country school to teaching School Administration at O.N.U. In between he taught in an elementary school while coaching baseball, track and basketball in high school and then on to Superintendent of Schools at Wren, Vanlue, Green Springs, North Baltimore and West Liberty before coming to Ada. His family are all education minded. Mrs. Van Atta is a second grade teacher in Ada; one son, Robert, is a professor of chemistry at Souther Illinois University, and the other son, Richard, is Principal of Blume H.S. in W apakoneta. Mr. Van Atta has been a delegate to meetings of the National Education Association in St. Louis, Boston and San Francisco, and he is very active in the Ohio Education Association and was appointed by that group a member of the "Commission for Improvement of Instruction". He is a member of the Ada Kiwanis Club, the Library Board and is active in church work. His hobbies include woodworking and farm management. The door of Mr. Van Atta's office is always open to students who seek his advice or assistance. The Class of 1957 would like to express its appreciation for all he has done for our school. 6 Compliments of BAUGHMAN GREENHOUSECHARLES E.

Scholarship 2 Compliments of CAREY INSURANCE AGENCY PATRICIA MYERS HAROLD DUFFY STEPHEN SMITHThe Summil is Reached Looking back over the years to September 1945 and to that shiny-faced, starry-eyed group of youngsters seems like a dream. Little did our parents imagine the long years of PTA that lay ahead of them, nor did these aforementioned novitiates of the first grade think of the growing pains they would experience through grueling hours on the football field and endless cramming for examinations. We were all a little awed at the thought of school; John Kramer was so bashful and Fred Hubbel was quite a hit with the girls, but are they any different today? Nancy Brown and I both like to talk, and I am sure that we used up much of Miss Whitworth's time trying to promote our own private speaking careers. She did try to muffle us and others, but the cure didn't take. Just ask any of our teachers and you will find that the "talkathon" is still going on full force. Dorothy Ackerman, Patti Myers and Joe Wright joined us in the third grade, and it may have been this influx of new blood that made our operetta, "Forest Court", so outstanding that year. A great deal of credit must also go to our mothers who slaved over the costumes. This was also the year when we liked to play in the old wet field, and Mrs. Mayhorn threatened us with a "fate worse than death" - a big club which she mistakenly called a paddle. I don't believe that she ever used it, and I shall never forget that sweet smile on her face when we finally mastered the multiplication tables. In the fourth year of our stay in those hallowed halls, Jean Hawes, Steve Smith, Willis Brown and Byron Baughman swelled our ranks. Our operetta was "Hansel Gretel", with a special dance number by Nancy Allen and Dave Chandler. Also an excellent imitation of trees was given by Howard Umphress, Jack Gunn, Max Rambo and Gerald Binkley. Do you think because we were such angelic children we perhaps influenced Miss St. Louis to forsake us for marriage? By the time we reached the fifth grade we were embryonic musical comedy stars. We didn't need Miss McWilliams, Mrs. Hites or Marge Hollinger to help with our preparation of "Snow White" - or so WE thought! Mary James was a lovely Snow White, and no one could have been queenlier than Alice Warthman nor witchier than Jean Hawes. It may seem that we did nothing but have operettas; however, each was the high point of the year for us, and they will be in our memories for many years to come. 1951 saw 34 stalwart sons and 26 beautiful young ladies move into a brand new building. Mr. Zimmerman had much assistance in the move, especially from Larry Ream who insisted on riding the truck on each trip. We became known as the CLASS OF DISTINCTION, because we were the last class to have a formal sixth grade graduation. It was very formal - white gloves, roses, the works. . . It was in Junior High School that Sharon Fox, Helen Fleming, Sue Schindler, Darlene Yinger, and Sandra Welsh suddenly came down with a serious attack of the "giggles". It was of epidemic proportion and the after effects are still in evidence whenever the "Tee-Hee" girls get together. During these two years between grade school and high school the "dwarfs", Edison Long, Conrad Siferd and Alan Hetrick, shot up to normal size. Remember this poem which is quoted so much? You can tell a Freshman by his fresh and eager look, You can tell a Sophomore 'cause he carries one less book, You can tell a Junior by his fine and airy way, You can tell a Senior, but brother ! you can't tell him much. As Freshmen we were no exception to the rule as we were eager to become a part of that special group which participated in many activities, attended all sports events, went to formal dances and probably found a "steady". Mrs. Underwood and Mr. Swinney, our class advisors, tried to instruct our officers, Ed Long, John Kramer, Sally Neal and Sharon Simons, in the rules of parliamentary procedure, but our interests turned in other directions. GAA and FHA were invaded by Freshmen girls, and the FFA became a magnet for the farm boys. We were still "green" enough to believe that high school was mostly fun; however, first impressions do not tell the whole story. We had forgotten that school is primarily a place for study, and it didn't take long for the rude awakening -Report Card Day. Our grades weren't too low, but we learned that dances, games, etc. were classified as EXTRA-curricular activities. We began to grow up a little and to realize that the foundations and attitudes which we built during these high school years would serve us for the rest of our lives. Compliments of BRECK'S CLOTHING STORE"You can tell a Sophomore 'cause he carries one less book". We may have carried fewer books but we were not loafing. Sheila and Sharon Simons, Darlene Yinger and Jean Hawes were in charge of our class for the year, and they started us on the road to Washington, D. C. with paper drives and other money-making schemes. A few of the braver souls who took Latin (or did Latin take them?) under Miss Crawford elected Mary James and John Kramer to reign over the great Roman Banquet. Y-Teens and Hi-Y attracted our interests during this year and added to our club activities. As Sophomores we were allowed representation at the Interclass Contest. Our contestants, John Kramer, Nancy Brown, Helen Fleming and Sharon Simons, were defeated by only three points. This was a disappointment, but we were only Sophomores so we turned our sights to the next two years. The "fine and airy ways" of Juniors could certainly describe our class. Early in the fall we ordered and received our class rings, many of which changed fingers in a hurry! Mr. Warthman, Mr. McAnaney, John Kramer, Helen Fleming, Alice Warthman and Darlene Yinger tried to lead our "enthusiastic bunch", but we sometimes got carried away in money making projects. After making some paper and rag drives, some of us decided that we needed the school course in Driver Training. During this year we were very well represented at Girls' State by Judy Anspach and Mary James, and by John Kramer and Alan Hetrick at Boys' State. Marilyn Bosse, Sheila Simons, Mary James and Steve Smith led us to second place in the Interclass Contest. One of the top items on the agenda for Juniors is the Class Play, and our productions of "Life of the Party" under the direction of Mr. McAnaney was a tremendous success. Outstanding performances were given by Judy Anspach, Sue Schindler, Conrad Siferd, Max Rambo and Darlene Yinger. We now had a chance to show our ingenuity and originality as we began our plans for the Junior Prom. After many hours of labor by many hands, the gym was transformed into the magical world of CANDY LAND. The Prom was a huge success, but the following day we began to realize that we were three-fourths of the way through high school. SENIORS! "You can't tell him much". This was to be our year to be big shots - club presidents and leaders, although there were times when the administration and our advisors, Mrs. Milnar and Mr. Kaufman, might have argued the latter point. However, the first part was true as we claimed the following Presidents: Sally Neal, FHA; Edison Long, FFA; Brenda Collett, Y-Teens; Helen Fleming, GAA; and Judy Anspach, Student Council. We also rated several Queens with Nancy Allen reigning as Homecoming Queen, Sharon Fox ruling at the Y-Teen Tinsel Ball, and Helen Fleming holding court at the GAA dance. Our pictures were taken amid much laughter and a few groans, and the groans became more pronounced when our proofs arrived. Surely we were better looking than our proofs indicated. Karen LaFollette, Ron Randall, and that "boy of the South", Jim Napier, joined our class and we filled every one of the 52 seats in the Senior home room; however, Cloyd Elwood and Gary Hattery left us before the year was over so we had an even 50 to be led through the final year by our officers, Byron Baughamn, Joe Wright, Nancy Allen and Darlene Yinger. Many hectic days were spent selling magazines, collecting paper, serving banquets and giving innumerable bake sales to raise the $2000 needed for our Washington trip. During the Presidential campaign our Social Problems Class held a mock election with Eisenhower winning over Stevenson; this was not only fun but informative as well. Along with fun we found time to study; several took the Senior Scholarship exams with John Kramer, Dorothy Boutwell and Nancy Brown leading the field. "Papa was a Preacher", our class play, was directed by Mr. Camp, an O.N.U. drama student, and as usual we had a wonderful time in the preparation and presentation. Senior honors were upheld at Inter-class by Nancy Brown, Helen Fleming, Mary James and Jim Napier. On May 5th at the unearthly hour of 5 a.m. we started on our trip to Washington D.C, The bus trip provided us with a few hours of sleep before we arrived at Gettysburg where for a few moments we became a part of American History. Washington was wonderful and our two day stay was entirely too short, but we sampled the views and perhaps can return at a later time for a more complete viewing. On May 11th we were entertained by the Juniors at the Prom and enjoyed the last social event of our high school days. Our final week with Baccalaureate, Class Night, Commencement and final farewels was a "glad but sad" time for most of us. We have finally reached the summit of twelve years of endeavor, and time alone will tell how many more summits we may conquer.

He was accompanied by his stunning secretary, DARLENE YINGER. WOW ! From Lima I went to Indianapolis to see the Speedway Races where that demon of speed, JACK GUNN, is expected to set a new record of 400 miles per hour. Much of his success is due to the genius of his chief mechanic, LARRY REAM. As soon as the race (won by Jack) was over, I boarded the "Spirit of Ada", the private jet belonging to RON RANDALL, and with Ron at the controls we reached San Francisco in l 2 hour. Our arrival at the hotel was a little confusing as we got mixed up in a mob of high school seniors who had just arrived on the West Coast. Imagine my surprise to find that they were from Lima and were chaperoned by THE STARLINGS (Chick and Brenda). The former BRENDA COLLETT is the speech and drama teacher, and CHARLES teaches mathematics. We left San Francisco to head out over the Pacific; I say "We" because I had gained a companion for part of the trip. NANCY BROWN was making her ninth trip around the world. After making oil paintings of the natives of the various countries, she will finally give up her career to become Mrs. Smith of Ada. During the trip across the Pacific we found several of our classmates aboard. EDISON LONG was on his way to India to make a personal examination of the farm situation for the President of the United States, ALAN HETRICK. Our pilot was CONRAD SIFERD and our charming hostess was SHEILA SIMONS. Also we met ALICE WARTH-MAN who was taking her elderly father to Hawaii for his health. (Mr. Warthman was quite spry for a man of 80). The most exciting event of the trip was seeing what looked like a "flying saucer" passing back and forth across our view. The hostess told us that it was JIM NAPIER who had invented a new type of parachute. Upon landing in Hawaii, I tried to get an interview with Jim but found that something had gone wrong and the last report from him had stated that his 'chute wouldn't come down and that he was heading for outer space. (He is probably teaching that southern drawl to the Martians!) In Hawaii we found Nancy Allen who was on her way back to the United States after a lengthy tour of the Orient. She is a member of the very famous "Billy Graham Singing Evangelists". We also ran into DOROTHY BOUTWELL who works for the U.S. Army Intelligence Service. After a few days of relaxation, we went on to China where we found that JUDY ANSPACH has become almost a legend. After her phenomenal rise in the nursing profession, she became the Chief Health Officer of China. Her work has been instrumental in wooing China away from the Communists. We went on to Singapore and there we found the famous "Ching-Chong Boys" giving out with be-bop and the "rockingest" of all was their leader, BILL STOLL. Nancy decided to leave me here as she wanted to go to Java, so I persuaded the American Embassy to allow their Military Attache, Colonel WILLIS BROWN to accompany me for the rest of the trip. At our next stop, Bombay, India, we heard the world famous pianist, DOROTHY ACKERMAN. Also on the program as featured soloist was MARILYN BOSSE. We tried to see them after the concert, but the crowd of well-wishers was so great that we couldn't get near the stage door. 30 Compliments of LIMA COCA-COLA BOTTLING WORKSThe next country on the itinerary was Australia. We arrived in Melbourne just in time to see MAX RAMBO win seven Olympic gold medals. Physical Culture has reached such a high degree in the United States that it was not considered unusual for a man of 40 to win that many events. He probably would have won more, but one of the spectators, EMILY CRIBLEY, had dropped her 30 carat diamond ring beside the swimming pool and Max hurt his foot on it. We decided to venture into the "bush" country where SUE SCHINDLER and her husband, BYRON BAUGHMAN, are missionaries. Sue had just had a very narrow escape from a tribe of head-hunters so Byron offered to guide us back to civilization as he thought the safari might be attacked at any time. Our next stop was at a fascinating place, Mecca, Arabia. On our arrival we were greeted by ALICE REAMS who had come to this area after the death of her husband. She is an advisor of the King and has been responsible for bringing modern educational methods into the area. In the first school which we visited, we found SHARON SIMONS patiently slaving to get the Arabian girls to do some other dance than the native rituals. 1 think that she will soon be leaving because DON BADERTSCHER had just flown in to check his extensive oil holdings and to try to convince Sharon that she would be the ideal wife for a Texas multi-billionaire. Also teaching school in this area was DAVID CHANDLER, who was teaching a most unusual subject, "How to Get the Most Out of Your Motor Scooter." We landed in Cairo, Egypt, and were astounded to hear of the latest PERRY LONG project. He was opening every tomb in Egypt and making each into a hot-dog stand. Also being talked about was STEVE CRAIG, who was trying to change the course of the Nile so that it would run through his million acre oasis, thus lowering the cost of his water bill. After seeing quite a lot of Egypt, we went on to the Belgian Congo. Along with our guide, PATTI MYERS, we went deep into the jungle. When we got to the innermost part of the swamp, we found a chicken market being run by GERALD BINKLEY. When I asked him why he didn't live in the civilized area he answered, "I just can't stop that rockin' and rollin'." Our next stop was Paris. We arrived just in time for the annual fashion show of that famous designer, MADAME SALLY NEAL. The gowns were shown by her two top models, PATTY WYSS and SHARON FOX, who have discovered the secrets of the fountain of youth. Time was getting short so we hurried on to Spain to see the greatest of all bull-fighters, HAROLD DUFFY. We also met his famous physician, Dr. JOHN KRAMER. John and his wife, MARY JAMES, have made their home on the continent for the last fifteen years, and Mary has just been selected as the "Best Dressed Woman in the World." Of course, her gowns are created by "Neal of Paris." We left the warmth of Spain and landed in Thule, Greenland. Here we found JOE WRIGHT preparing to open another giant super-market--the specialty--"frozen foods." SANDRA WELSH also makes her home here. It seemed odd to find her in such a place, but her fame as the person with the largest collection of Elvis Presley records in the world has caused her to try to escape from the crush of bobby-soxers who want to hear how their mother's idol sounded. At the North Pole we found BARBARA RISNER giving food demonstrations to the Eskimos, and DEANNA STALEY (with Don of course) managing a rest-home for over worked sled dogs. In the Yukon Territory we found HOWARD UMPHRESS, who had just discovered a method of melting mountains of ice, laying out large gold-mining claims. Maybe now he will have some time for his wife, HELEN FLEMING, who has become a literary figure while waiting for him. Her latest book, "The Ice Melteth", has sold over five million copeis. We drove down the Alcan Highway to Dawson Creek, Canada, where we met ERNEST DUDGEON, who has just formed his own hockey team. He thought that he had a complete team but at the last minute STEVE SMITH decided that he would rather draw cartoons for my latest book than to cut figures on the ice. I arrived back in the United States just in time to interview KAREN LaFOLLETTE. Karen was being honored as "Mother of the Year" and this seemed the ideal way to end my trip around the world. rom 4k pen f: oreign Corresponden denf Compliments of PEPER DRUGS 31Compliments of DALE'S BARBER SHOPu N Address of Welcome Byron Bai.'chman, Senior Clast President Senior Class Band, To Love Again and Basin Street Blues Mary James, Helen Fleming.

The man who is responsible for the outstanding work done by the bands is Mr. Ansley, the director. The MARCHING BAND, led by Drum Majorette Sheila Simons, performed during half time at our football games. During the numbers the band and majorettes performed many intricate maneuvers and formations which added an extra touch to each show. These original routines together with the snappy music showed the results of the hard work necessary for each performance. At the end of the football season, the CONCERT BAND began its preparations for the District Contest. This year the contest was held at Ohio Northern University on March 30th, at which time the band received a II rating. The Band also gave its annual Spring Concert on May 10th.
