Affectionately known as Chief by his students, he has been the guiding hand of our music department for the past eighteen years and has earned for our Glee Club the reputation of being one of the finest A Cappella choirs in the Toledo area. All who know Mr. Runyan love him for his warm, friendly personality. He is an inspiration to those of us who some day aspire to become musicians. So it is with great pride that we of the staff dedicate this eighteenth edition of the Crystal to the Chief . MR.

F n F i V LLM, L Senior Class History The old school building under the elms settled creakingly down on its foundations. Its huge black hulk sprawled comfortably beneath the full moon that Hooded the campus with iight. I-Io hum, rumbled a voice from the buildings depths, another year almost gone. I wonder how many of my children are leaving this spring? About ninety-five I think there are. Ah, I remember the day they came here. It seems just yesterday. I felt so sorry for them. I always feel sorry for the Freshmen. They look so bewildered! They didn't make much of an impression that first year. They sort of stayed in the background. But I knew that class was going places. They had that look about them. It was their Sophomore year that they began showing their merits. They took part in everything around here. Athletics, clubs and oh, yes, that year their class raised the most money for the big new stadium out there. By the time they were juniors they had made quite a name for themselves. I remember their junior Class Play and their Prom . I think being upper classmen went to their heads a bit, but they soon grew out of it. And now they're Seniors-almost ready to graduate. This last year has really been their best I think. They led the field in everything. They started right out raising money for the Memorial Gate, early last fall. They fairly rocked these old halls with dances, beneht performances, shows and their class play. Yes, wherever that Senior Class was, there was bound to be excitement! But now it's almost over. I don't know why I always feel so bad every year. I know there'll be another class, but somehow . . . I hate to see them go. A sound like a great sigh echoed gustily through the old building's empty halls as the voice trailed awayinto silence. Once more she creaked her timbers and settled on her foundations. Then all was still and the old building called Clay High School slept silently under the tall elm trees. 15 ' 4 V 1 ...A-- ,f ISABEL ABBOT 5 . ess...- MARIE ANGEL A lively girl who rpeahi' Who will walk a mile ufilh no ill of anyone.

INAUGURATION INTERRUPTED BY IRATE CANDIDATE First woman candidate vows I'll be back in four years! The inauguration festivities for Presi- dent Albert Ward were disrupted last night by the defeated, but still fighting first woman candidate, Carolyn Engel. The inauguration ceremony was followed by a banquet. President Ward was leav- ing the banquet when Miss Engel forced her way through a group of onlookers and hurled a brick at the new president's high silk hat. Ward was momentarily stunned. One of the president's body- guards, Bill Ehrsam, forcibly restrained Miss Engel after a considerable struggle. Miss Engel was heard to say as she was hustled out, I'll be back in four years. I'll be the first woman president yet! I WILL, I WILL!! Featured entertainers at the banquet were Delmont Hosley and Barbara Tay- lor in a trumpet and vocal duet. Both are featured soloists with Don St. jo-hn's popular dance band, the DON JUANS. The first appointments made by Ward were Kenneth Ritter as ambassador to Russia and David Shulko as Secretary of the Automotive Industry.

To lead them on this adventure were Miss Boles, Mr. Huyck, Mr. Schaller, and Mr. Needles. Their hrst concern was to elect officers. This was accomplished at their regular class meeting. Alvin Bargahiser was elected Presidentg Don Mercer, Vice-Presidentg Mary Lou Klebold, Secretary, and Bonnie Sibbersen, Treasurer. Student Council Repre- sentatives were janyce Blessing, Alvin Bargahiser, Neal Crews, and jenny Szuch. With all the various activities and work they had a wonderful year. Atter summer vacation these same youngsters returned to Clay, only this time as Sophomores. They numbered one hundred and thirty'five, and were just as anxious to begin their activities as they had been the year before. Previously elected officers were: Bob Wisdom, Presidentg jackie May, ViceaPresi- dent, Bonnie Phillips, Secretary, and Bob Breese, Treasurer. Don Mercer, Clara Don- nally, Ruth Schumaker, and Lois Higley were Student Council Representatives. Advisors were: Mr. Berkey, Mr. Potter, Mr. Wallace, and Miss Scheehle. Soon these students will be juniors and they hope the forthcoming year will hold as much enjoyment as the previous years have. Freshman Class Histor One day in September of 1947, the second day to be exact, a group of people entered Clay High School as greenhorns-the Freshmen! These 165 greenhorns of higher learning were located in five bulging homerooms. Miss Boles had room 1 g Mr. McCabe had 107, Mr. Schaller had 108, Miss Fulton had 109, and Miss Bickelhaupt, the class advisor, had room 106. T hey started the year oil right by electing their very capable class officers. Barbara Pancoll was elected president, Roger Rose was selected vice-president, secretary was Bill Long, and treasurer, jim Momenee. Since the treasury did not have much capital f3500.00!j, the class decided to sell magazine subscriptions to raise some money. It was a furious race and the homerooms that lost treated the winning homerooms to a party after school. They raised 317313. Room 108 was the winner. Their Student Council representatives were Roger Rose, Barbara Pancoff, Henry Schumaker, and Ted La Course. We hope that the Freshman Class will continue making Clay a better school and that they may enjoy their activities and studies even more in their following three years than they did as Freshmen. 40 Freshmen aff 1 M Q 1 is time Y' 5 Q 1-if tr 'tt , - 5 v,v: V 4 r af ,. 5 1, 5' if' , , , A 1 t ' A' wtf i ff if-i t 'r iii: wif 1. 4: Ron' 1 Row Ron' 3 Row Ro1z'5 Rr1u'6 we has -gr, Marlene Adams, Phyllis Albertson, Robert Armstrong, Audrey Asmussen, Sylvester Ball, Glennis Batch Nina Beale, Williilni Beamer, jane Beck, Dean Beckman, Margie Biechter, janet Belkofer.

Boys' Intramurals The boys' intramural program got under way this year, as usual, with softball. They were divided into two groups, the first consisting chiefly of Freshmen and Sophomores and the second, juniors and Seniors. In the Freshman-Sophomore group, Leonard Vin- cent's team came out in first place, while Albert Ward's team took first in the junior- Senior tournament. Touch football followed but, due to bad weather, the season was not completed. At the end of five games, Alvin Bargahiser's team was ahead in its divi- sion while Bill May and jack Fryman tied. During the winter, basketball and volleyball took up the time, and in the spring baseball again came into the spotlight. The faculty advisor was Mr. Potter who was assisted by two student managers.

Beverly Sindlinger The glee club under the direction of Mr. Runyan, again upheld its high standards this year. They gave choral programs for various churches and organizations and they also sang in the Great Northern Festival. During the Christmas season they caroled in the surrounding schools. Again this year their outstanding event was the Jamboree held May 5, 6, 7. 68 The band this year has been very active. During the football season it played at all the home games and at the Oak Harbor, Whitmer, and Sylvania games. The band also participated in the Armistice Day Parade, November 11. After the marching season was over the band settled down to playing concerts for the various grade schools. Dur- ing the month of March a campaign for buying new uniforms was launched. To raise more money for uniforms the band also sponsored a basketball game at the Sports Arena and the band, majorettes, and the drum major performed at the half time. The band has a new instructor this year, who is Mr. Harold Wfill. The band owes much to its success to Mr. Will for his untiring efforts in directing us and helping us in our band formation.
