INTRODUCTION
The graduating class of l950 is following the plan established last year
by the class of 1949 in bringing you a complete history of the school year l949-
l950. This made it necessary that you receive your Annual sometime this
fall instead of in the spring.
The class of 1950 hopes that you will like their Annual. If it brings to you
the joys that come from recalling school day memories its publishers will feel
well paid and that their labors were not in vain.
FOREWORD
Time truly does fly. It seems but yesterday since we entered high school
and now it is time for us to depart. To us, the seniors, it brings to a close the
most important era of our lives. It is with mixed feelings of emotion that we
depart from our Alma Mater. We realize that it has asked much of us, but it
has given more. We want always to remember our high school days, because
the future can only enrich those experiences so dear to all of us. It is with
these thoughts in mind that the Class of 1950 brings you this edition of the Blue
Streak. It is our wish to review all of the things which were a part of our
school life during the year. We hope that the familiar scenes and faces will
help you recall the many happy hours you have spent in school life. As time
writes finis to our school days, we sadly contemplate the future, realizing that
school days were truly the richest experiences in our lives.

DEDICATION
We, the graduating class of 1950, dedicate this annual to the old and to
the new. We wish to dedicate a portion of it to our former elementary building
H1888-19505 and the part it and its teachers played in shaping the lives of
hundreds of young men and Women of this community. We Wish to dedicate
a portion of it to the new elementary building to be opened this fall. We sin-
cerely hope that it too will continue to wield a Worthy influence on the lives
of hundreds ot our youth, and that our democratic American Way of Lite shall
be forever maintained.

ARCHBOLD HIGH SCHOOL
Archbold High School graduated its first class in 1891. The class of 1950
marks the fifty-ninth class to be graduated. More than a thousand young men
and women have graduated from here since 1891. They may literally be found
in all parts of the world. The fame, fortune, and success which many of them
have achieved is ample evidence that their Alma Mater did well by them.
Thus an educational institution justifies its somewhat costly existence. Edu-
cation, the American Way, and Christianity continue to be the chief pillars of
the things we hold dear.
The old Elementary Building was the only building on our campus until
1924, when the present Industrial Arts Building was constructed. The present
High School was built in 1930. In 1937 the Gennan Township Schools and the
Archbold Schools were consolidated into the present district. A new Voca-
tional Agriculture Building was opened in 1948. In May of 1949 work was
begun on the new Elementary Building. It will be ready for use in the fall
of 1950.
Several other additions will be needed in the near future. An Elementary
gymnasium, an addition of classrooms to the High School, and a new Indus-
trial Arts Building have all been suggested by the State Department of
Education.
The school has had a continuous growth and if industrial and economic
factors in our community may be used as a barometer this growth will con-
tinue indefinitely.
ADMINISTRATION
V
I. H. Spengler. Supt. of Schools
It is the duty and the purpose of the school administration to facilitate an
effiicent management of the schools, to provide the essential needs in carry-
ing out the educational program, and to see that each part of the organization
bears to each other part the proper relation. Administration of a school pro-
gram involves supplying all educational and business needs which facilitate
the giving of essential and needed instruction.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Seated: George Rupp, Peter Rupp, Dr. E. R. Murbach. President, Owen Rice, Clerk, I. R. Peters,
Vice President.
Standing: Melvin C. Winzeler, I. H. Spengler, Local Superintendent of Schools.
The Graduating Class of 1950 wishes to pay its respects to the Board of
Education of our School. As we are about to leave we become aware of the
fact that we have had the advantages of a fine school building and its excel-
lent facilities. We do not often pause to ask who makes these things possible.
but we are sincere in our expression of thanks and appreciation for the fine
school we have been privileged to attend. We know you have given untiring
effort and unceasing devotion to the task of providing educational advantages
for the youth of today which did not exist in your day. We know that your
material rewards are as none and that your criticisms are often great. It is
only in the knowledge that your contributions of time and effort are a genuine
service to the youth of our community that your rewards must lie. We sin-
cerely wish to acknowledge our debt of gratitude to you and the public whom
you represent, and as we leave we humbly say, "Thanks a lot for everything."

Looks like a faculty party of some kind! The teachers had a party at Dr.
Murbach's cottage at Devi1's Lake. Yes, they can relax and have a good time
too when the occasion presents itself. They aren't always as serious as their
work requires them to be.

MAINTENANCE
A nice, clean building is always an incentive to do a good day's work.
Many hours of hard labor are necessary to have our buildings in readiness
for a new day of school each moming.
Good food: we simply can't get along without it. It keeps us going and
doing our best. We are all sincerely grateful for our kitchen staff because we
just know that there are none better. How could there be?
No one envies the bus driver his thankless task. He must battle the
weather, bad roads, and a few "bad" kids. Regardless of the obstacles en-
countered these men do a fine job of transporting several hundred pupils to
and from school daily.
The combined efforts of these folks is an essential part in the daily routine
of our school. Thanks to all of you for the parts you have played in our years
at Archbold High School.

Oh, so young, but yearning to grow older. How slowly the days and
years pass until you are in high school. Don't be impatient. Your time is fast

months and years you will be playing leading roles on the court, diamond.
stage and classrooms.
The graduating class of 1950 extend to all of you boys and girls, the future
pupils of Archbold High School, their very best wishes.

Academic subjects must come first in any high school. School activities
are a very important second to book learning. The following pages bring you

This was the second year for the Archbold High School Student Council.
Mr. Burkholder, Mrs. Keim, and Mr. Gallaway were the advisors. The officers
were: Richard Winzeler, President: Carlos Bernath, Vice President: Nancy
Crossgrove, Secretary and Treasurer.
The Council met regularly twice a month and during the year accomp-
lished many things, some of which were: having the different clubs decorate
the gym for the home basketball games, which added very much to the
atmosphere of the games: sponsoring noon tournament games in table tennis
and shuffleboard and buying medals to give to all the winners: having a
Dad's night, honoring the fathers of the varsity basketball players at one of
the basketball games.
The Council did a fine job this year and will continue to be a major par?
of the school program.

This year one of the biggest Iournalism classes in the history of A.H.S.
took over the duties of publishing the Archette, our school newspaper. The
Staff, under the leadership of Mrs. Keim, published many interesting papers.
They were published on every other Friday.
The class visited the Toledo Blade on April 17 and attended the Iour-

The Sci Questa Club was organized early in the school year under the direction of Mr. Slesnick. This is perhaps the first
active Science Club which the school has ever had. Membership was open to all students above the freshmen level who were
interested in science, Meetings were held every other Monday night. Some very interesting programs were arranged for these
meetings. The high spot of the year was their three day trip to Chicago via the New York Central. They visited numerous mus-
eums and other points of interest while there.. They will be forever grateful to La Choy Food Products, Beatrice Creamery Cor-
poration for their very generous gesture of having them as guesis for a wonderful dinner and floor show at the Stevens Hotel.
Science students entered numerous projects in the Iunior Academy of Science Day at Bowling Green State University. They
won eight Superior ratings for their efforts. At the meeting of the Ohio Academy of Science William Scales won a Superior
rating on his Oscilloscope.
Sci Questa Club oificers for the year 1949-1950 were: Iim Iohnson, President: Bill Scales, Vice President: Dick Palmer, Sec-
retary: Hattie Clingaman, Treasurer.

the dance.

giving suggestions to the club. The officers this year were: President, Eunice

SENIOR BAND
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
The various organizations in our school under the heading of Instrumental
Music are the Senior Band, the Intermediate Band, the Iunior Band and the
Brass Ensemble. These groups, especially the Senior Band, enjoyed another
good year. The band played at numerous homecomings, carnivals, and
festivals. A large number of our members were chosen to play in the all
county band at the Music Festival at Wauseon.
The Band won a Superior rating in the District competition at Ada and re-
peated with another Superior rating in the State finals at Springplace to place
them among the elite.
Numerous appearances are being arranged for the band during the sum-
mer and with a large Intermediate Band an energetic Iunior Band to supply
material prospects look quite encouraging for several years to come.
The band holds daily rehearsals in the Library Auditorium and is avail-
able for any and all occasions whenever the demand arises.
The Brass Ensemble won an Excellent rating in District competition at
Bowling Green.

VOCAL MUSIC
The vocal group found in our school consist of a mixed quartet high schood
chorus, a boys Glee Club and a Girls Glee Club. The Chorus meets three
days each week and the Glee Clubs meet once weekly. Members of the Glee
Clubs are also members of the Chorus and vice versa. The Chorus last year
consisted of seventy members.
The Chorus won a Superior rating in the District competition at Ada, and
the two glee clubs won Excellent Ratings. In the State meet at Springfield
the Chorus won a rating of excellent. These were very fine showings for all
of these groups.
Many of the boys and girls from these organizations were selected to sing
in the all county chorus in the Spring Festival at Wauseon.
Registration for next year indicates an even larger enrollment in these
groups and the prospects are indeed very bright in the field of vocal music for
some time to come.

I The Archbold FFA chapter has been outstanding during the past three years, winning two gold ratings. It has only been organ-
ized since 1947 in the local high school, but the FFA in Ohio was formed and organized in 1927. This is an organization for boys
who study Vocational Agriculture in high school.
The aims and purposes of a good FFA chapter are: 1. To develop competent, aggressive rural and agricultural leadership.
2. To create an nurture a love for Country lite. 3. To strengthen the confidence ot larm boys and young men in themselves and
their work. 4. To create more interest in intelligent choice of farming occupations. 5. To encourage members in the development of
individual farming programs and become established in farming. 8. To encourage members to improve their home farms. 7. To
participate in worthy undertakings. 8. To develop character, train for useful citizenship and foster patriotism. 9. To encourage
and practice thrift. lO. To encourage and improve scholarship.
The local FFA chapter has done much during the past year to tuliill the purposes of a good chapter.

Each period of the day one of the librarians help Mrs. Bourquin in the
library. Each has his special duties assigned to him, and must see that they
are carried out. For this work they receive one-half credit a year. With the
help of these girls, the students are able to find books quicker and easier.
Many students find the library a pleasant place to do their studies and are
free to do so.

This year, as was done the year before, ten girls of Archbold High School
were nominated by the student body, one to reign as queen and four as her
attendants. From these candidates, a queen and four attendants were chosen.
Eunice Traut was the queen, her attendants being, Arlene Klempner, Helen
Dennis, Marlene Burkholder and Nancy Kernig.
Following the crowning of the queen, prizes were awarded to the boys
and girls dressed in the best and funniest costumes.
After this everyone was treated to free cider and doughnuts. The eve-
ning was summed up by a dance which was held in the Legion hall.
This evening of entertainment eliminated at least part of the mischief

very popular and important part of the school, and is under the direction of
Mr. Hornish. Some very nice articles of furniture, metal work, plastics and
various other items too numerous to mention are made in this department.
This department has been very valuable to the school by building needed
items for the music department, athletics, and different dramatic productions.
One of the most important factors is that this department is very helpful and
cooperative at all times.

Sports really add flavor to high school life. It's a great outlet for energy
for both players and spectators. Basketball, baseball, track and intra-mural
sports afford many students an opportunity to participate in worthwhile phy-
sical activities. The following pages bring you a brief sports review of
1949-1950.

Basketball is the number one sport in the home of the Blue and the Gold. The game started here in 1910 and did well from
the start. lt's been going strong ever since and shows no signs of slowing down. The Streaks have won more than their share oi
victories over the years. They have gone beyond the county tournament 18 times in the past 26 years. Twice they have gone
to the State Tournament: in 1924 they lost the State Championship game to Bellepoint by a 24-Z0 score.
This year's team won the Runner-up title. They lost a heart-breaker to Delta by a 31430 score then came back to win their
next four games. Delta thus won the tournament championship and the League Championship. The Streaks made a fine showing
in the District Tournament at Defiance, winning over West Unity and Delta and losing to Miller City, the eventual State Champions
by a 39-38 score. Archbold was ahead all the way until the iinal hall-minute ot play.
Archbold's Iunior high team had an excellent season, winning 17 straight games before losing a 30-28 overtime battle to
Swanton in the Tournament. Fayette's Eagles were the tournament winners.
Plenty ol good material is available for the coming years which portends more good teams. ,
Iohn Clair, Wayne Nofzinger, Clare Grime, Iames Quillet and Harley Burkholder were lost by graduation.

Archbo1d's diamond efforts were somewhat blighted by a lack of good,
consistent hitting. The team was fairly well balanced in other respects. The
boys lost to Metamora in the County Toumament by a score of 3 to 1. A few
timely hits would have won the game for them, but they were not forthcoming.
Metamora won the County Championship by defeating Lyons in the
championship game by a score of 12 to 6. Both teams advanced to the District
Tournament at Defiance. The District Tournament was won by Iewell of
Defiance County.
The team loses the following seniors by graduation: Iames Quillet, Iohn
Clair, Don Wyse, Clare Grime and Richard Winzeler.
Some promising material will be available for next year and if a couple
of good pitchers are developed and some batting punch is found the team
should do fairly well.

The 1950 Track season was somewhat hampered by very bad weather
this spring. The squad was crippled in personnel because a number of good
prospects did not participate because oi work and various other reasons.
Delta won the County championship for the seventh consecutive year.
They scored 73 points followed by Swanton with 56, Archbold with 46, Ches-
terfield with 22 Va, and Fayette with 2lV2.
Several of the boys participated in the Devilbiss Relays. Ned Lorton
placed fifth in the discus, and a team composed of Iohn Young, Dale Leu,
Lowell Spiess and Richard Short placed fifth in the shuttle relay.
Richard Short, Bob Leupp and Duane Stamm are the senior members
who will be lost by graduation.
The awards for high point man on the Track team in l949 went to Richard
Schantz and to Richard Short who tied for the most points. The individual
trophy for the 1950 season went to Lowell Spiess who acquired the most
points.

This club consists of those students in high school who have earned their
monogram in at least one of the school's major sports of basketball, baseball
or track.
At present the organization is not active. It holds no meetings nor does
it engage in any school activities as a group. Membership comes automati-
cally to any student who earns his letter. However, several years ago all
new members were subject to initiation and the club engaged in a few
activities.
The membership of the club seems rather small but this results primarily
from the fact that a majority of the members are lettermen in two or three
sports.

What a big difference a dozen years make! Here we have the class of
1950 as it appeared back in the fall of 1938 as first graders. The class then
consisted of twenty five boys and girls. Many additions and losses of mem-
bership were recorded as they moved along until they numbered forty-two
when they were awarded their diplomas on May 16, 1950. Can you identify
them without looking at the names? The boys continued to outnumber the
girls as the class membership listed twenty-seven boys and only fifteen girls
in their final school year.
Memories of their school days will always be recalled as the most de-
lightful experiences of their lives.
CLASS HISTORY
In the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred forty-six, September 9,
a group of loud, arrogant, none-too-talented young boys and girls, numbering
some fifty, more or less, entered the lower portals of learning in the Archbold
High School. They were often referred to by such adjectives as green, ignor-
ant, stupid, awkward and others of a similar nature. On September 27 they
survived the ordeal of a terrific initiation and became full-fledged members of
the high school.
By next year the tables had turned. We felt a little more secure in our
advanced position as Sophomores. It was indeed a pleasure to be on the giv-
ing end of the initiation ceremonies and the Frosh were duly humbled in a
never-to-be-forgotten manner.
Our Iunior year loomed large ahead of us. There were to be big doings
this year. Class rings were chosen. Two plays, "You'll Die Laughing" and
"Professor Pepp" were presented during thetyear. The big social event of the
year as usual was the Iunior-Senior Banguet. The class really went all out to
entertain their older guests, the class of 1949. This was a most joyous oc-
casion and the closing of our Iunior year was filled with happy memories that
will linger in our hearts forever.
In September 1949 we entered the most important phase of our careers
when we enrolled as seniors. The year held promise of manv important and
exciting events. The first of these events was having our graduation pictures
taken. Then followed the business of selecting a Commencement speaker.
ordering invitations. making plans for a trip and aettina readv for the senior
plavs. The play "Feathers in a Gale" was presented by a dual cast on
May 4 and 5.
'I'he bigaest events were yet to come. On Sundav evening. Mav 14 our
Baccalaureate Services were held. with Reverend Paul E. Fisher bringing the
message. On Tuesday evening. Mav 16, Dr. Arthur S. Fleming, President of
Ohio Wesleyan Universitv delivered our Commencement address and we
were awarded our diplomas. On Wednesday, Mav 17, we departed for a
four day trip to Washinaton, D.C. This was a wonderful experience for all
of us, one which we shall never forget.
With varied feelings and emotions the class of 1950 leaves Archbold
High School to iournev out into the world to do their part to keep it forever the
wonderful place we know it to be.

CLASS PROPHECY
The place: A street corner in the town of
Archbold.
The time: 1975 A. D.
The scene: Two unidentified, gray-haired men
are approaching from opposite directions, only
to collide with each other and both to fall to
the pavement.
"Excuse me," says the shorter man.
"Certainly, and me, too," replies the taller.
"Say, don't I know you?"
"You sure ought to. We both graduated
from Archbold High School at the same time."
"The old home town certainly looks differ-
ent than it did in l950."
"Yes sir, and I wonder how many of our
old classmates are still around."
"Well, let's mosey down to the old City
Drug Store and we'll see if we can recollect
everyone." '
So the tall one and the short one walked
down to the old drug store.
"Do you suppose Iohn Desbouefs came
back to work in the City Drug?" asked the
short man. "I don't know, but we'll soon
see," said the taller man.
So in they went, ordered two cokes and
sat down to drink them. It wasn't long until a
gray-haired man came brisky into the store.
"Desbouefs!" said the taller man. "Hello fel-
lows, long time no see," said Iohn. "What do
you think of the old place? Changed quite a
bit, huh?"
"Yep, shore has," said the short man.
"What have you got in the back room, pinball
machines?"
"Yes. Say do you know this fellow coming
in the store?"
"Bednar!" yelled the tall fellow.
"How do you do," said David.
"Married, Dave?" asked the short man.
"Yes sir, got six kids. You know Arlene
Klempner, she's my wife and secretary. Stick
around for a little while. Some of the old class-
mates come in every noon. Here come Clare
Grime and Harley Burkholder now. They are
big time dairy men, you know."
"Say, aren't those two guys Bob Burk-
holder and Iim Quillet?" asked the tall man.
"Yes," spoke up a voice in back of him!
"Hello, Duane, what are you working at
now?" asked the short man.
"Oh, I'm farming. Iim and Bob are the
prosperous guys, though. lim has a three hun-
dred acre farm and Bob is raising mink by the
thousands."
"Well, we've got to be going. So-long,"
said Clare.
"Yes, good-bye fellows, see you again
soon," said the tall fellow.
"Well, Iohn and Dave, what are the rest
of the old classmates doing?" said the short
man.
"Well, Ir. Grime is doing a pretty good
job of farming. fRowdyl Bob Nofzinger is run-
ning the frozen food plant. He married Phyllis
Buehrer, but she's still working in the telephone
office," answered Dave.
"Say," inquired the tall man, "where is
Bill Walters?"
"Oh, he's head of the Mayo Clinic now,"
spoke up Iohn. "Willie Wyse is selling farm
machinery. He's got some new fangeled con-
traption, something like a robot. You push a
button and it does all the work for you."
"Now that's something," said the short
man. "What about Don Wyse and Maynard
Sauder?"
"Well, Don is teaching mechanical en-
gineering out in Louisiana and Maynard is the
top man at Sauder's Woodworking Co. Ir.
Eicher runs Eicher's Poultry concem and Wayne
Nofzinger is the General Manager there," said
Dave.
"What are Richard Winzeler and Virgil
Waidelich doing?" inquired the tall man.
"Well," said Iohn. "Rich is a turkey farmer
and Virgil is a great steer raiser. Bob Leupp
decided to be a bachelor and now he is a well
to do farmer. Nancy Crossgrove and Anna
Rose are teaching up at the high school. Nancy
Fagley is the Band Director there. Bill Stuckey
and Orville Grieser are both steer farmers and
each has already made a million.
"Claudine Nofzinger runs the Beauty Shop
here in town, doesn't she?" said the short man.
"Yes, and Shirley Dennis owns that beau-
tiful summer resort just north of town. Shirley
Klempner is now one of the most successful
homemakers in Archbold, although she still is
a telephone operator. Charlotte Hausch mar-
ried Richard Short and they are very happy
together. Dick owns a nice farm west of
town. Betty Rychener is a missionary in
Africa. Doris Leatherman is a secretary at
Lugbills," said Dave.
"Let's see, is that all of them?" asked the
tall man.
"No, spoke up Iohn. "Ruth Hayes is typ-
ist at La Choys and Verdene works there, also.
Let me think. Oh yes, Donna Belle Leupp is
the fifth grade teacher in Wauseon, and Roger
Ebersole is a farmer in Michigan. Iohn Clair
married Ioan Burkholder and they are living in
Texas. Iohn is a bridge constructor. Bill Tan-
ner is driving a racing car and Eunice Traut
is a secretary in the ,Toledo Trust Company.
"Well," said the short man, "by the pro-
cess of elimination, I suppose you know who
we are."
"Sure," replied Iohn. "You're Hody Stahl
and the tall one is Ben Young."
"Right you are. And it's time now to make
it right back to my elevator in Elmira," said
Ben.
"Me too, or I won't get enough hours in to
feed all eighteen of my kids," Stahl cackeled.
We hope we have given you some insight
to the future in these few paragraphs, although

SENIOR OBITUARY
It is with profound regret that we announce the death of the well-known
and highly respected Senior class of the Archbold High School. After its
remarkable achievement recently with the examinations which it passed with
flying colors, the class was noticed to be changing perceptibly. Upon skilled
diagnosis, the trouble proved to be an enlargement of the intellect which, after
a lingering attack lasting four years, caused the demise of the class on
May 16.
The senior class was one respected and loved by all who knew it and will
be greatly missed in the social, athletic, and educational circles of the school
and neighborhood. Its qualities of industry, idealism, and charm endeared
it to all who had the pleasure of its acquaintance, and it will be sincerely
mourned by the faculty, classmates, and friends.
Its place in the social life of the school was by no means small and in
the field of athletics it was widely known. In its mental achievements, how-
ever, it attained its greatest distinction and gained high honors.
The passing of the Senior class leaves a void in the intellectual circles of
the school that will long be marked. The loss of this class will be deeply felt
in the community also, and it will be difficult to assemble another with so much
public spirit and power of accomplishment.
The Senior class is survived by a Iunior class, a Sophomore class, and a
Freshman class. The first mentioned will be appointed to the place left vacant
by the untimely decease of the Senior cass, but can in no measure fill the
position, nor will it be expected to do so at first.
A great class has gone from us, and together we rnoum its passing, con-
soling ourselves with this thought: "ls quen di amant adulescens moritur,"
which means, "He whom the gods love dies while a youth."
The funeral services were held in the auditorium on May 16, 1950. At-
tendance at the services was by invitation only, and all friends were requested
to attend, bearing flowers and gifts. Services were conducted by Dr. Arthur
S. Fleming, president of Ohio Wesleyan University.
CLASS EPITAPH
Here lie the good Seniors whose genius was such
We scarcely can blame it or praise it too much:
Who, bom for distinction, perfected their mind
And fraught with all learning, gave joy to mankind,
They were equal to all things, for nothing unfit,
They were pleased with their culture and proud of their wit.
They are missed by their classmates, their teachers as well.
Who their virtues and wisdom now tearfully tell:
They died of brain fever, brought on by delight,
In their fourth year of age on commencement night.
They are glad to be gone to a new world, alack!
If we could when we pleased, we'd not whistle them back.
But let us be candid and speak out our mind,
Their equal as students 'twill be hard to find,
And in peace may they lie, our good Seniors. who now
Have taken their finals and made their last bow.

SENIOR TRIP TO WASHINGTON D.C.
The class of 1950 enjoyed a wonderful trip to
D.C. after their graduation. They left
iance via the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on the
Columbian on Wednesday evening, May 17
arrived in the nation's capital on Thursday
ning. This trip provided many new experiences
most of the class. Features such as a long train
, riding the Stratoliner, breakfast and dinner in
ining car, the first glimpse of the dome of the
'on's capital building, the many wonders beheld
ashington, their stay at the Annapolis Hotel,
ting new friends from far away places, the Po-
ac River, Mount Vernon, the fine dinner at the
George Mason Hotel in Alexadria, Arlington Na-
tional Cemetery and all of its historic heroes, Christ
Church in Alexandria, the Iefferson and Lincoln
Memorials, going up and down the Washington
Monument, a trip through the PBI and seeing our
Senate and House of Representatives in action pro-
vided thrills which will never be forgotten. Then,
finally, the long tiresome trip home and then the
grand feeling of getting back home all safe and
sound. The class feels that the trip was very much
worthwhile and cannot be measured in money value.
This event will always remain a source of a happy
climax to their graduation from high school.
SENIOR FAREWELL
We, the seniors of 1950, through much painstaking labor, have reached
the twelfth rung of our ladder and are about to be pushed off to make room
for the Iuniors.
At the age of six we mounted the first and hardest rung with fear and
trembling. After the six fast steps we reached a new extension-the "other"
building. Several times the ladder seemed wobbly and some of us looked
longingly at the ground. We came through initiation only by keeping our
eyes on the upper rungs. Having attained the tenth rung, we were a bit
more self-confident: and on the eleventh we gained real triumphs with our
plays and banquet.
Before we leap we wish to thank our teachers who steadied the ladder
and gave helpful pushes now and then, our fellow students who called words
oi encouragement from lower rungs. and our parents who were responsible for
our ladder.
So one ..... two ..... three ..... Goodbye!
COMMERCIALS
Students, Teachers, Parents and Friends: This annual was brought to
you at a reasonable price, through the whole-hearted co-operation and
financial support of the friendly merchants of our community. They have
amply demonstrated their good will toward our school and their supportis
greatly appreciated by the publishers of this book. Let's extend our patron-
age and good will to them in the same friendly manner in which they have
given theirs to us.
