DEDICATION
We, the graduating class of 1956, wish to dedicate
this edition of The Blue Streak to all of the young men
and women who have graduated from Archbold High
School since its beginning and have gone on to higher
fields of education and training as a means of helping
themselves and, at the same time, to better serve their
fellow men.
We congratulate them on having the desire and de-
termination to devote years of their lives, along with
much hard work, to reach a previously determined
goal. Their greatest reward is their SUCCESS and
their degree of service to mankind.
The Class of 1956 and the school are indeed very
proud of the many notable achievements of these men
and women.
We also wish to dedicate a portion of this edition
to the fine, new addition to the high school which we
were privileged to use during our final year. We will
remember it as the year of ten new classrooms, a
new cafeteria, a new Music department, a new Indus-
trial Arts Building, a beautiful new gymnasium, a new
home economics room and a new biology room.
May the future classes use these fine facilities to
their best advantages and profit to the utmost in their
preparation for their futures.

CLASS HISTORY
On the morning of September 3. 1943 at 9:00 A. M. a group of 45 timid little boys and girls started
kindergarten under the supervision of Mrs. Walter. Of the present 47 members, 29 of them were in the
original class. They are: Orlene Stuckey. Howard Grime. Nancy Ruffer. Donn Bernath, Bruce Werder,
Suzanne Miller. Donna Miller. Barbarawalters, Delila Gautsche, Maureen Rupp. Donna Waidelich. Roger
Grieser. Dee Ann Christy, Annabelle Miller, Bill Crossgrove. Joanne Beck, Tom Mekus. Dean Rupp. Neil
Spengler, Dale Storrer, Sue Fankhauser. Sandra Short, John Scales. Betty Miller, Don Sommers. Jim
Rice, Anabelle Zuercher. Larry Short, and Doris De Groff.
As the class moved up to the first grade. they were greeted by the open arms of Mrs. Bernath. This
year 33 students were in the first grade.
As the group moved to the second grade. they were welcomed by Mrs.Frey and Mrs. Litwiller. As
they entered the second grade 42 students were in the class. Three new students joined the class. They
were: Joan France. Marlene Leininger. and Larry Rychener. I wonder if Donna W. and Orlene S. remember
when Mrs. Frey used to give them spankings about every day.
During the third year, three new members were added to the class. They were: Janet Moore, Bob
Rufenacht, and Fred Mehrling. The class was under the fine supervision of Mrs. Zimmerman.
The next year proved very interesting. The class was under the supervision of Miss Nofziger. As they
entered the fourth grade, the total enrollment was 39. Three new students joined the class that year.
they were: Jack Miller, Rosemary Brock, Catherine Troeger. giving the class 42 students for the year.
In the fifth grade the class was under the fine leadershipof Mrs. Burkholder. There were no new
members added to the class. Do you seniors remember the beautiful plants that Mrs. Burkholder used to
bring to give the room a fresh lookl
Then as they entered their last year in the elementary building they were under the direction of Mrs.
Farber. During the sixth grade, they had 39 members in the class.
The next year was the big year. for the class was able to go to the Jr. High School. As they entered
the seventh grade. there were 38 members in the class. The class was joined by a new member, La Mar
Gisel from Stryker.
The eighth grade saw one addition to the class. Anne Ruffer from Saginaw, Michigan. This was the
year of the dreaded eighth grade tests. Somehow the class survived and the whole class was looking for-
ward to entering high school.
In the freshman year. there was a much larger class. Pupils from Zone and Elmira enrolled at Arch-
bold. The new additions were: Sue Case, Verle Seiler, Lowell Rupp. Marvin Lantz. Virginia Leininger,
Roger Johnson. Elaine Hoffman. Karen Roth. Barbara Smucker. Mike Holian. Gene Sauder. Rosetta Burk-
holder. and Ruth Herbert, giving the class 52 members.
During the sophomore year, the class had the privilege of choosing their class rings. that would join
them with A. H. S. As so honored, they also had the privilege of initiating the freshmen.
Time moves on. and the class entered the junior year with 51 members. The Juniors put on a very
fine banquet for their superiors. The theme was Enchanted Forest. They also put on two fine plays The
PerfectIdiot and G1amor Boy which the casts enjoyed very much. This year the class lost two of their
girls, who decided that they wanted to enjoy matrimonial bliss. These girls were Diana Hitt and Cara
Lou Stamm.
In the last year at Archbold High School many things were undertaken by these dignified seniors of
1956. At the first class meeting held during the Senior year. they chose class officers. Bill Crossgrove
was elected President. Doris DeGroff, V. P., Suzanne Miller. Secretary. and Orlene Stuckey, Treasurer.
Then there was the choosing of the class flower which is the white rose, class colorsg charcoal and white,
class mottog Not finished. just begun . The next big event was having Senior pictures taken and re-
ceiving their name cards. One of the big nights was attending the beautiful Junior-Senior Banquet.
The theme was Carolina Moon , and it was enjoyed by all. On May 4. the first Senior play entitled
Clover Time was given. The second play was given the 15 of May. The title of this one was O1d
Doc . On May 20. the Baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Rev. Jesse Short from the Central Mennonite
Church. Commencement Exercises were held on May 22 where all the Seniors received their diplomas.
The climaxing event of the year was the Senior trip on which the Seniors planned to go to New York and
Washington on a combined tour. Memories of many happy years spent at A. H. S. will linger in the
minds of the Seniors for the rest of their lives.

The Archbold High School Band maintained their
reputation as one of the most outstanding high school
bands in the state of Ohio and in the entire middle west.
Under the very capable direction of Mr. Menichetti the
band and its ensembles made their usual number of
public appearances during the school year. They have
yet to turn down a request for their servicesunless it
came ata time of direct conflict with their school pro-
grams.
The band did an excellent job at all of the home
football games last fall, they presented two fine pro-
grams during the school year, played for various school
functions, exchanged concerts with Defiance High
School, played for the Music Association in Toledo, en-
joyed a trip to Bob-Lo and other activities too numerous
to mention.
They received a Superior rating in the state for the
fourth consecutive year, which is added proof that they
are on a par with the very best of high school bands.
May they continue to excel!

The year 1955-56 marked a new
era for the Industrial Arts Department.
After being housed for many years in
somewhat of a temporary structure
Mr. Hornish and the boys moved into
their new building last fall. They now
have afine, modern, fire-proof struc-
ture with all of the latest equipment
and machinery. They spent consider-
able time in getting the building ready

for occupancy and therefore, were
unable to accomplish and complete
their usual amount of shop work. They
are looking forward to next year when
they can get things under way as soon
as school opens.
Archbold High School offers a full
four course in Industrial Arts for any
boys who wish to specialize in this
area.

piled a record of 16 wins and 6 losses for the season.
They won the county tournament for the sixth consec-
utive year. They tied with Delta for the Championship
of the Northern Border Conference. In the District Tourn-
ament they drew a bye in the first round, then lost a
heartbreaker toa good Ottawa Hills team by a score of
54 to 53. The game was decided on a free-throw in the
final seconds of the game.
The Reserves won 17 games and lost only one for an
excellent record. Thisteam will be the varsity for next
year as all of the Varsity starters will graduate. The
Junior High boys had a good record and should have
another fine team next year.
Arcanum won the State Class B title,and Middle-

High School Basketball - the opening and using of the
new gymnasium, taking care of about 1200 people.
Large crowds were on hand for several of the games and
even the smallest crowds were larger than the old gym

DISTRICT TOURNAMENT AT ANTHONY WAYNE
Ottaway Hills-March 4. The Streaks drewafirst round
bye and then were matched with theirseason's
nemisis, Ottawa Hills. Another terrific battle en-
sued. The Streaks held a 4 point lead at half-time,
but a poor third quarter saw them 4 points behind.
The score was tied several times in the final quarter
and when it seemed the Streaks might salvage the
game fortune decreed otherwise. A combination of
inefficient timing and a doubtfull call by an official
gave the Arrows the game on a free throw. Score
54 to 53. This ended the Streaks efforts on the bas-
ketball court, and saw them relinquish their 1955
District Championship,which was eventually won by
Ney. Jack Miller closed his career with 21 points and
Neil Spengler had 14.
Win or lose the boys generally gave their best and
no one can give more. The lessons they leamed
play ing the game are worth much more than the
victories won.

The 1956 Blue Streak baseball team
did not enjoy the success of the teams
of the past decade. Good pitching was
available, but a lack of hitting and an
inexperienced infield kept the team
fromgoing far. They eliminated Fay-
ette in the County tournament, then
lost to Lyons in the semi - finals.
Pettisville defeated Lyons for the
county championship.

The Blue Streaks engaged in their
fourth season of golf. Most ofthe squad
members had only limited previous
experience. Neil Spengler was the
number one player on the team. Tom
Mekus, Roger Grieser, Lamar Gisel,
Larry Short and Gene Sauder were the
other regular members. Bill DeGroff
saw action when he had no conflicts
with Track. Since all the first string
menwere seniors it will be necessary
to develop some new material for next
year. There is considerable interest
in the sport and a goodly number of
younger boys have been working to
learn the primary fundamentals of the
game. Golf has great carry-over
values and will be played by adults
long after their school days are over.

An ambitious, but inexperienced
squad of track hopefuls reported for
action this spring. Mr. Baird and Mr.
Sutherland coached the boys. Bad
weather made practice and holding
meets a problem but the boys kept at
it and some of them began to show
considerable improvement as time
went on. Several close meets were
lost because the team lacked balanced
strenght, expecially in the field events.
