- ULQAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1924, we entered Bucyrus High School as seventh graders but we felt equally intelligent and dignified as Seniors. Most of our time was spent in making new acquaintances and in learning to find our way about. The next year as eighth graders, we felt more at home than we had before.There were no very important events in our lives dur- ing that year-we were looking forward to those as we climbed steadily higher. When we came back to our studies in 1926 we were a band of merry yet determined Freshmen. Much good natured ridicule was directed to- ward us but We took it as all good Freshmen should. By this time we had become accustomed to the routine of things and organized with James Baker, President 3 Ruth Rook, Vice President, Janis Millar, Secretary, Wilbur Holloway, Treasurer, and Miss Bieber, Faculty Advisor. The Freshman party was the big event of the year. It was held in the gymnas- ium which was beautifully decorated with blue and white, the class colors, On the evening of June 9, 1927, we were presented with our diplomas, which gave us membership to Senior High. To pilot us through our Sophomore year we had James Baker, Presi- dent, Ruth Cook, Vice President, Janis Millar, Secretary, Richard Bow- ers, Treasurerg and Miss Hutchinson, Faculty Advisor. We had a number of fellows on the football squad and two of our girls won a large B for Basketball. On April 20, we had our class party in the school cafeteria. Later in the year we enjoyed a picnic at Seccaium Park. At the beginning of our Junior year we organized with the following officers: President, Robert Kranichg Vice President, Janis Millar, Secre- tary, Doris Gatchell, Treasurer, John Shaner, and Faculty Advisor, Mr. Whisler. We worked together to raise money and had many good times, but the gala event of the year was the J unior-Senior Reception on Friday, May 10, 1929, in the gymnasium which was novelly decorated as a dungeon in black and white, the class colors of ,29. We were again very well repre- sented in athletics by: James Baker, Robert Love, Charles Heschler, Em- mett Snyder, Edgar Price, John Shaner, Richard Bowers, Donald Zeller, Emmett Lerch, Ruth Cook, Ruth Schell, Marie Shoemaker, Janis Millar, Mary K. Volk, and Nellie Burrows. We left B. H. S. in June to look for- ward to our Senior year as the last and best year in our high school career. Opening our last-Senior-year, we elected Donald Zeller, President, Ruth Schell, Vice President g Mildred Groves, Secretary, Wallace Frey, Treasurer, and Miss Kathryn Meck and Miss Helen Gooding as Faculty Advisors. As in the former years we had many representatives in foot- ball and basketball. Three Senior girls: Thelma Bowen, Gertrude Dick- erhoff, and Doris Gatchell were on the debate team. We enjoyed a de- lightful dinner dance in the gym in March. Commencement time is nearing and we must think of going away from B. H. S. When we depart We leave something very near and very dear to all our hearts. Memories of friendships gained, of work for our school, and of work with our fellow classmates. We might easily say that We have reached the goal that was set for us in September 1924. -Mildred Groves '30. Page Twenty-five

- BUSQSAN - CL!-XSS IDROPHECY After having worked ten years as assistant to the postmaster at Chatfield I decided to take a short vacation. With my time worn but courageous Ford I began my tour accompanied by Janis Millar, who is now the successful editor of the Chatfield Daily Times , and Margaret Patterson her efficient reporter. When we reached North Robinson we saw tents of a medicine show there. We went to the show and recognized Bob Kranich as the doctor, Bob was as voluble as ever. His assistant and better half was the former Ada Ream. The leading lady in the show was Dot Brown and playing opposite her was that handsome Fritz Bertram. After the show we went up town where we saw the constable, Bud Gallagher, rushing around like mad with his deputies George Brown and Ned Srodes, trailing along behind him. By that time we were very hungry so we stopped at the grocery store to eat and chat awhile with Wally Frey, the jovial grocer. Upon returning to our car we saw a shiny new Ford parked beside it. Its oc- cupants and joint owners were Chuck Herschler and Dick Bowers, who had just bought it on the installment plan. They are now prosperous butchers in this dis- trict. They gave us a newspaper in which we read the account of the amazing in- vention of a brilliant young American scientist. .Tim I-Ieckert had invented a sky- hook for airplanes. In the same paper we read that Bob Elsasser, the famous nutologist had found his life work among the people at the Ohio State Institution for the Feebleminded. After reading our paper we looked across the street to the Sisters' Beauty Parlor in time to see the owners, Marjorie and Vansaneelia Kennedy, emerge. Beside the beauty parlor Seckel has set up a shop and is doing amazing business. He specializes in original decorations for Fords and Burnell Dowler helps him. We headed toward Leesville then and had gone only about :wo miles when we saw someone coming toward us on foot. When we got closer we saw that it was Nell Burrows who is trying to establish a record for hopping on one foot from North Robinson to Leesville. The car began to balk then so We stopped at a garage to have Pete Trout fix it. We stopped at Leesville to hear the band concert which was being given under the leadership of Bob White, now a prominent farmer. A feature of the program was a vocal duet, 'Tm Called a Buttercup , by Emmett Snyder and Edgar Price. Before we left we saw Fred Skeen who is still practicing high pressure salesmanship. When we went to Crestline the first person we met was Bert Bevan who is now the wife of the janitor of the Crestline hospital. Next we saw a small army of children of all shapes and sizes coming toward us with the sweet and patient mother, Dickerhoff, and the indulgent father, Dwight Mutchler bringing up the rear. They told us that Velma Marshman is now working in a broadcasting sta- tion and that the studio electrician, Ralph Baehr, greatly appreciates her ability. On the way to Galion I remarked about a beautiful brick building I saw on one side of the road. What's that? I asked. That's the old maid's retreat, Janie replied. That's where Boots Schell, Marj Wasson, Dot. Morrison and Gert Rinker live. When we stopped at the next farmhouse the farmer's wife, Marguerite Cook, gave me a drink of water, which revived me somewhat. We also met Claudia Baker and Martha Albright, overworked school teachers, there for a quiet rest. Being hungry we immediately went to I-Iubley's in Galion where we met Carme- lita Shaefer. She's added something since, of course. Coletta Coy is working there Page Twenty-seven
