CLASS HI TORY In the fall of 1944, the future graduating class of 56 passed through the doors of the Arcadia Local School as students for the first time. We were a little frightened and yet excited at the new adventure that lay ahead of us. For some, it was a dreaded experienceg for others, it was a dream about to become a reality. With the kind and able assistance of our first grade teacher, Mrs. Abe, we mastered, each in our own fashion, the fundamentals taught us and were promoted to the second grade where Mrs. Amstutz became our instructor. During this second year of our school career we had the chance to appear on the stage in our first big production , the operetta Peter Rabbit . Barbara Agnew had the honor of having one of the main parts. Our third year with Mrs. Miller passed without much excitement, but in the fourth grade, with Miss Cole as our instructor, we again found ourselves appearing in another operetta, Christmas in Mexico. Two of our fellow students, Dalores Camp- bell and Carol Noel, received leads. This was another memorable highlight in our school life. Also in this year many of our friends joined the newly formed band under the direction of Mrs. Payne. Our fifth year held some new experiences for us, for it was in this grade that we were moved upstairs and we thought we were getting mighty big. We also had two teachers for the first time, Miss Rosie and Bessie Fox, who also served as our teachers in the sixth grade. Time passed very quickly and almost without realizing it we found ourselves in Junior High. This year we were able to help choose high school cheerleaders and one Junior High cheerleader from our class. We chose Sharyn Peters. In the eighth grade we participated in more of the school activities. This year we chose two Junior High cheerleaders, Sharyn Peters and Barbara Arnet. At the end of this year we took the difficult Eighth Grade State Test. It was not too difficult for Bill Switzer, however, who ranked first in our class and second in the county. At last ---- we were Freshmen, the year for which many of us had been waiting. The boys went out for sports, we elected officers and many of us joined the different organizations. As class o ficers we chose as our president, Bill Switzerg vice president, Janice Heinzeg secretary, Jane Van Driestg treasurer, Barbara Agnewg reporter, John Diebleyg and student council representatives, Sharyn Peters and Lester Fruth. As our colors we chose green and goldg our flower, the yellow roseg and our motto Work Will Win . We elected Barbara Agnew and Janice Heinze as Junior High cheerleaders and Barbara and Dennis Peters were chosen as football attendant and escort. Our Sophomore year was much the same as our Freshman. As class officers we chose Bill Switzer, presidentg Lester Fruth, vice presidentg Joyce Walsh, secretaryg Karl Burns, treasurerg Dick Ziessler, reporterg Sharyn Peters and Bill Armbrecht, student council representatives, with Mr. Slough as our sponsor. We were happy to find Bill Armbrecht on the first team in football and John Diebley in basketball. Marilyn Hawk was elected as Varsity cheerleader and as football attendant this year we chose Joyce Walsh and as her escort, Dennis Peters. Now just two more years before we find ourselves out into the big world. As Juniors we elected Bill Armbrecht as our presidentg Bill Switzer, vice presidentg Joyce Walsh, secretaryg Lester Fruth, treasurerg John Diebley, report- erg Sharyn Peters and Bill Armbrecht, student council representatives. This year found many of our classmates officers of the various organizations. This was one sign that we were growing up and able to accept responsibility. Two of the highlights in this class was the presentation of our class play and of our high school operetta, Our class play was Green Grow the Onions directed by Mr. Crates. The leads were held by Bill Switzer and Janice Heinze. The thing that made us the most proud of our operetta, Meet Arizona was that out of the fourteen principals nine were held by us. The leads were played by our own Dalores Campbell and Bill Armbrecht. This year we chose our class rings which also made us feel as though we were at last growing up. Our speech choir, directed by Mrs. Irene Sharninghouse, was a huge success. We put on the Christmas play and the Easter play. We gave our Easter play at the Lutheran Church in Findlay and also in Arcadia. Another of our classmates, Sharyn Peters, was elected Varsity cheerleader. Once again Joyce Walsh was chosen as football attendant with Bill Armbrecht as her escort. The one tragedy in our school life occurred during this year. One of our dear friends and fellow classmates, Margie Harmon, was killed on March 4 when the car she was riding in was hit by a train. As Juniors we honored the Sen- iors at the Junior-Senior Banquet held in May at the Civic Nic Nac in Fostoria. We were very proud of ourselves for doing such a good job. Well ---- this was it ---- our last year at R. K. D. To some it was going to be sadg to others, it was just another year. This year we chose Bill Armbrecht as our presidentg Lester Fruth, vice presidentg Joyce Walsh, secretaryg Barbara Arnet, treasurerg Pat Breyman, reporterg Sharyn Peters and John Diebley, student council representatives, and two of our girls, Sharyn Peters and Janice Heinze, were elected by the student body as Varsity cheerleaders. John Diebley was chosen by the players as Captain of the Year in football and basketball, and most valuable play- er in basketball. He also was chosen on first team All County Basketball. Barbara Agnew was chosen football queen with Dick Ziessler as football captain. Dalores Campbell was attendant with Lester Fruth her escort. For our class play we put on Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . Marilyn Hawk played the lead with Janice Heinze playing the supporting lead. Our play was directed by Mrs. Irene Sharninghouse, One of our biggest projects was the assembling of The Arcadian , of which Bill Switzer was editor. While taking pictures for the annual we discovered that seventeen of us had attended Arcadia all twelve years of our school career. Once again we had ten of our fellow students on National Honor Society. The speech choir was again a big success. This year we not only did the Christmas play again but we also put on a program at Findlay College. In May we were honored. by the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the American Legion in Findlay. We held our Baccalaureate Services on Sunday, May 13, with Rev. Russell Hawk as our speaker, and on Friday, May 18, with Dr. Clyde Hissong as our speaker the class of 1956 graduated from Arcadia High School. At last the moment that we have feared, dreamed of, and planned for has come. We do not know what the future holds for us, but we do know that we are going to try to do our best and try to do and believe as our motto says, woRK WILL wtN .
