In considering this problein we find there could be two solutions. We could be working towarcl an enil which would result in conditions coniinon in sorne European anal Asiatic countries. However, we believe we have been work- ing toward liberal and democratic icleals. To this end we hurnbly ojfer you the result of our earnest ejforts in the hope that you rnay realize and appre- ciate the privileges and responsibilities which are ours as young citizens in a country such as the United States. Dedication We, the Seniors dedicate this 1948 Spotlight to our parents who have watched our progress from our first report card to our graduation diplonzag always ready with a word of encouragement or advice to help us over the rough places. We dedicate this hook to you with sincere appreciation and realization that without your help we would not have heen ahle to enjoy the privileges and advantages of this school. As a rnernorial to the fine exalnple you have set and to the continual effort you have put forth in our hehalf, we dedicate this Senior Annual to you Mom and Dad. ?f X Y WHAT I-IAVE WE IQEEN XJOIQKINQ S.

From the very beginning the individual is identified with a definite group. The welfare of that group becomes his responsibility. This implies a consideration of the rights of others as well as a desre to co-operate for the common good. The coin- mon good is realized by the achievements of the goals set by the school for the group. These goals can not be achieved without the utmost co-operation and effort. It is not a totalitarian idea. The individual does not exist for the group alone but is made to feel that the efforts of the group make him or her a more accomplished individual. He is more accomplished, not only because of objectives obtained, but because he has learned to do something with someone else. This is the ,Hrst lesson in learning to live a democratic life. In Clymer High School the group is the class and the total results of the class eyforts are the reflections of individuals. The final goal is an individual ready to step into other groups with a desire to add something to the attempt to produce the altruistic society of which everyone dreams. JUNIOR CLASS N interesting and successful year was enjoyed by twenty-eight students who united in room sixteen under the supervision of Mr. Sayre to form the Junior Class. The Hrst few weeks were devoted to getting down to the books again and selecting those whom we wanted to help guide us through the coming year. As we look at the results we End that Thelma TenHuisen, president Alvin Pickett, Vice-president, Jackie Sweet, secretary, and Robert Selfridge, treasurer, were elected to occupy the ofhces. Talent in different forms is one of the classis greater aspects. Our dramatic ability was clearly displayed in an enjoyable performance of our Junior Play, A Mind of Her Own. Bob Selfridge, Carlton King, Llewellyn Legters, Ger- ald Smith, Lester Groters and Alvin Pickett were our athletic stars, with Thelma TenHuisen, varsity cheerleader and Arditli Rhebergen, captain of junior var- sity cheerleaders, holding up for the opposite sex. We were fortunate in having active members in the band and chorus. In our spare time we sponsored humorous movies to earn extra funds which produced an entertaining evening for all who attended. We are looking forward to next year as Seniors, confident that it will be as successful and enjoyable as the past one. SOPHOMGRE CLASS HE Sophomores began the school year with Miss Hewey as advisor. Esther Pickett was elected to the position of president with Everett King as vice- president, Phyllis Aikens as secretary and Harold Porter as treasurer. We have many students taking part in school activities such as band, chorus, various clubs, and athletics but we still find time for our studies. Jean McCray and Marceil Schraeder are honor students. The Sophomore boys have made a name for themselves in sports. We boast of such able players as Boo Neckers, Willy VanEarden, Wes,, TenHagen, Wins TenI-Iagen, Herky Porter, Sonny Giles, and Rodney Edwards. Not to be outdone, the girls have participated in a great many play days. We have Jean McCray and Sally Yaiko as our class representatives on the Girls, Athletic Committee. Although the girls have not fared as well as the boys, the games were greatly enjoyed by everyone. Our ability as actors was proven by our assembly, a one act play called Life With Willief, We also had members in the operetta K'Ask the Professorf' With the end of the year we find the Sophomores with a greater under- standing of high school and the world in general and also looking forward to a bright future. 8 M .

FRESHMAN CLASS HE fifty-one members of the Freshman Class, under the able direction of Miss Fancher, started their Way into high school by electing Maynard King, presidentg Jack Arnink, vice president, Betty Loomis, secretary, and James Lictus, treasurer. Many members of the class are active in sports. Kenny Wilkinsoin, Jack Arnink and Home Loomis, played with the Midgets Team. Jack Jasper,' Arnink, Homer Zeke Loomis, James Lightning,' Lictus, Milton Slim Courtwright and Maynard Sluggo King are established stars on the second team. Wilkinson is our varsity hotshot. However, the boys were not the only Freshmen who were active in the sporting line. Winnie,' Wiggers, Janette Gravink and Dolores Porter were second team cheerleaders. The girls, basketball and volleyball teams were very successful in intramurals. They were second in basketball, being beaten by the Seniors only and in volleyball they came in first. Many of the members are in the Band and Chorus and also active in various clubs. Janette Gravink and Betty Loomis are representatives on girls' athletic committee. The honor students of the class are: Maynard King, Paul Hunter, Walford More, Janette Gravink, Winifr'ed Wiggers, Barbara Hewes, Milton Courtwright, Betty Loomis, Pattie Goggin and Donald Sweet. The Freshman Class, led by these members are Working toward the goal of being prominent citizens in the World of tomorrow. T HREE-QUARTER ACADEMIC HESF. students are mid-year students and become part of the Freshman class in January. Their group does not carry on any regular class activi- ties. Homer Loomis is the star athlete of the group while Paul Baker and Rue Button are the leading scholars. 10 FRESHMEN Left to right-Row 1: C. Marsh, C. Beardsley, C. Palmer, G. Holthouse, L.

The class in English organized clubs to study magazines, books and learn how to plan and present programs. We also made pages to show uses and forms of the parts of speech and combined them all into a booklet entitleld 'tMy Own Grammerf' For the Christmas season, we made booklets including Christmas carols, customs and poems. We also made a mural depicting the angels and the shepherds at the Hrst Christmas. Our special project for mathematics con- sisted of pages of lines and figures, making patterns and actually making solid geometric forms. In Social Studies we made a detailed study of our government from its early origin in the Magna Carta to our own Constitution, Bill of Rights and the remaining amendments. Early in October we enjoyed a skating party at Findley Lake and just be- fore the Easter holiday, we held a surprise birthday party for Mrs. Wassink. For our assembled program, we presented the one-act play Elmer and the Love-Bug,' directed by our teachers. We also participated in the Christmas program, given by the seventh and eighth grades and high school. Other activities included a campaign for the March of Dimes and an exhibit for Open House. We collected a large sum of money for the March of Dimesf' All of this has prepared us for our new experience of entering high school. SEVENTH GRADE HEN school opened last September there were forty-five students en- tering Junior high school under the capable guidance of Miss Gleason and Mrs. Lookenhouse. Mrs. Damcott taught during the second semester be- cause of the very serious illness of the regular teacher, Mrs. Lookenhouse. An outstanding event was our assembly program when we gave an Easter pageant on the day before Easter vacation. Each person in the grade took part in the program. A new subject, Handwriting, was added to the seventh grade curriculum this year. Although we didn't become expert penmen, much improvement was made and next year we expect to get nearer perfection. s We have especially enjoyed sampling the results when the girls learned to cook in their Homemaking class. Should you ever need good pie makers, we can certainly recommend our seventh grade girls. Coming up to be future basketball stars are Philip Gravink, James Loomis, Ralph Holthouse, Russell Young, Harold VanEarden, Robert Williams, Clif- ford Aikens, and Roger Cooper, who played on the Junior high school squad this year. With the end of the year we Hnd ourselves beginning to realize our re- sponsibilities as Junior high school students and are looking forward to our Senior high school days. 12 EIGHTH GRADE Left to Right- Row 1:R.

However, they do more than this. Realizing that some of the pupils who start out in the first grade do not remain to graduate from high school brings on an added responsibility to the elementary grades. Their program must provide a basic training in the main fields of knowl- edge as well as laying a solid foundation for citizenship, especially for the benefit of those who will discontinue their formal education before graduating from high school. Reading, arithmetic, English, spelling and social studies are major subjects taken up at the different grade levels. Science, health, music, art and writing round out the program. Special emphasis this year has been placed on handwriting. Both teachers and pupils have received instruction in handwriting through the Peterson School of Penmanship. Most of the grades received recognition of being up to standard in their writing. Beginners in the first grade were aptly guided by Miss Hart and Mrs. Ives. A sand-table was the center of attraction in Mrs. Ives' room and both rooms greatly enjoyed their pianos. At the beginning of the year we found Miss Gif- ford and Miss Wood greeting the second-graders. The third grade pupils were under the leadership of Miss Alday and Miss Gibbs. This class along with the fourth grade under the supervision of Mrs. Carlson, prepared and presented an operetta for the annual assembly program. The fourth graders also completed a project of an imaginary trip to Switzerland. Customs and movies of the Swiss people seemed to interest the children greatly. The fifth graders were guided by Mrs. Damcott, and their main project was a large mural on West- ward Transportation. Searching for material and painting the pictures in tempra paints made the fifth graders' year active. The last class in the Clymer grade school was the sixth grade and was led by Mrs. Rouse. After completing these six years the staff of Clymer Central School feels that the pupils of the surrounding community are suificiently prepared to enter junior and senior high school. 16 Grade 1. R.

Some periods are niarleed by advances in freedom and others by the suppression of freeonz. I t is a word of many nzeanings but a man is more completely free when he can express himself as he desires. Dur- ing the last few hundred years common man has been prevented from expressing himself by political pressure or by being denied the use of a language. For many years most people could neither read nor write and the result was a dearth of understanding and expression. The history of religious expression is a bloody one and seems to have represented anything but those ideals on which religion is based. Half of Europe's wars have been the result of a desire for free expression in religion. At the present time nien are being killed for nzerely expressing their political ideas. In the European countries a man must look to the right and left before he speaks for fear that he might say the wrong thing to the wrong person. It is a deplorable condition. In Clymer High School there is a definite attempt to produce in- dividuals free enough to express themselves. The first step is to give them the proper tools in form of the languages. Art courses are avail- able to those people that need cultural outlet. It is hoped that with nzore freedom of expression there will devlop a tolerance of the opinions and tastes of other peoples. This is the only way to a peaceful world. 23 ART NDER the direction of Mrs. Dean in room zo we learn the fundamentals of line, space, balance and other phases of art expressed in many designs. Participation in this Held of learning acquaints us with the basic principles of drawing, design, and color. We apply these basic principles to practical forms of art such as advertising, interior decoration, costume design and furniture. Adapting our own ability of design to create' pleasing and useful things for our own everyday use and others brings satisfaction and real enjoyment. Students with talent for art are discovered, guided, and encouraged toward higher education in their field. Those who do not undertake college can use it as a leisure time ability. ENGLISH 55 EADING maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact manf' - So wrote Sir Francis Bason in the seventeenth century. But that isqexactly the kind of citizens we need now in the twentieth century - full of ideas, ready to work, exact and careful in what they do. These are the aims of our English Department and our English teacher, Miss Fancher. In our four years of English we have done all three. We have read from Shakespeare, Stevenson, Sandburg, and from many other authors and poets. We have held panel discussions, debates and interviews, given oral reports and extemporaneous speeches. We have written research papers, essays and letters. A democracy such as ours depends upon citizens offering constructive cri- ticism and ideas to our leaders, and to apply these principles to our own lives. The mastery of English is essential if we are to become good citizens who plan to have a voice in our democratic government. FOREIGN LANGUAGES F YOU choose as your vocation nursing, doctoring or any similar profession you must become acquainted with some of the foreign languages. Our school offers the students who wish to prepare for such a profession, courses in Latin and French. Miss Hewey, who has been our language teacher this year has taught classes in Latin I and III. There were nine students in Latin I who started out last fall with- Brit- tanica est insulav- and have proceeded rapidly receiving good grades as a re- ward for their studying. They have developed quite an extensive Latin vocabu- lary and have learned the basic grammar principles so that next year they will be able to read of the conquests and exploits of Caesar. The Latin III class has been very small this year - the entire class consisting of Shirley White and Frances McDonald. They have read the Orations of Cicero and studied the lives of the early Romans. The study of Foreign languages can be both interesting and useful. It helps one to increase his English vocabulary and to become acquainted with people on the other side of the globe. 24- ART Front Row: Mrs. Dean, C. King, E. Stebbins, R. Sphon, J. Arnink, M.

When a student is a Freshman or Sophomore he does not know his interests or abilities. If a school system is fair to the student it will furnish him information about himself and then give him a chance to make the most of it. Guidance in Clymer Central School is in the hands of Mr. Daniel E. Flynn. One can not praise Mr. Flynn too highly. His fine work is motivated solely by his desire to help students. He feels their problems are his problems and he does his best to solve them. In the Guidance Program the students are subjected to various intelligence and aptitude tests. The results of these tests are used as a basis for formulating the various subjects to be taken. Mr. Flynn interviews each student several times to discover facts that might alter co.nditions decided by the tests. Mr. Flynn's work with a student is not finished when his course is decided. Every month he checks on the marks and determines if changes must be made or students encouraged. During their Senior year the students receive special information on careers they may follow in their later years. This is done by literature on the subject and by special speakers. Mr. Flynn is now in the process of forming the National Honorary Society for our school. This club will stimulate students to do their best during their school years. RELIGIGUS EDUCATION lot of noise downtown! What is it? It's the children on their way to the Abbe Reformed Church for their classes in religious education. Every Monday afternoon about one hundred and fifty students march from the school down to the church. There they are taught about the Bible by four local ministers and a few townspeople. Upon arrival at the church, Mrs. Gravink starts the choruses on the piano and the children certainly do love to sing them. The ministers take turns in giving an object lesson or telling a story. Following this, they are divided into classes, where they study their Bible lessons. This hour spent each week learning about the spiritual values of life is of untold value in shaping the characters of our future citizens. At an assembly program conducted by the Gideons, New Testaments were given to all students who wished to have one. The local ministers gave inspir- ing talks and choruses were sung by all. The Gideons also placed Bibles in each home room of the school where five minute devotions, conducted by the class- room teacher, are held every morning before classes. 26 VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE Mr. Flynn, L. Legters. Gidecns handing cut Bibles 'to students 27 MAGA n Q Ol' THIS Objective Thinking The world is Sltjfgfillg fronz a maze of false theories, half truths and superstitious. Masses of peoples are heing led astray hecause they must follow the misguided directions of their leaders. The appalling misunderstanding prevalent today is due to the malice of the leaders or general ignorance. The latter is caused hy the acceptance of unreliahle authorities. Some of these authorities are very powerful hecause the people that propound them are well meaning and are very respected. It is not enough to mean well. The world nzust have more correct answers. The only answer is ohjective thinking. Americans must learn to think without emotion. They must have a method of attacking proh- lems that is hoth efficient and free of misleading influences. All proh- lenzs can he solved nzore or less scientifically. The scientific attitude is not only desirahle hut necessary. In Clymer High School ohjective thinking and efficiency are taught in its six main departments. The immediate ohjectives are: an under- standing of the pastg appreciation of factsg certain slaillsg a mind that is free and willing to taclale the prohlems to make this a hetter world. MATHEMATICS HE four mathematic courses taught in Clymer Central School are Elementary Algebra, Plane Geometry, Intermediate Algebra, and Trigonometry. In Algebra the fundamentals of letter Arithmetic are learned. This in- cludes addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, fractions, radicals, plus the use and meaning of equations. This year's class included members of all four high school classes and was an exceptional class. The highlight of the year was the period of instruction by Maynard King. He did a fine job in :imitating his teacher. When the students finish with Elementary Algebra they take more ad- vanced work along the same lines under Mr. Miller. This year the three prize students were Donna To.n, Marilyn Gravink, and Shirley Schruers. As Inter- mediate Algebra is only a half-year course the same students continued their mathematics by taking Trigonometry guided by Mr. Miller and became Well advised in trigonometric functions. The girls enjoyed the course but they aged considerably by taking it. This year's Plane Geometry course was very small but it was a lively one. The fundamental theorems were Hrst learned and these were used to solve prob- lems, developing a bit of rivalry among the students. Much of the work was done at the board and the students vied for the honor of obtaining the solu- tions Hrst. Llewellyn Legters led the class in original thinking. Many stimulat- ing discussions resulted from disagreements on how to solve the various problems. SCIENCE LYMER students get their introduction to scientific-studies in General Science. The first semester if this course includes orientation to the physi- cal sciences. The vocabulary of science is cmphasized and much attention is paid to the understanding of scientific u.nits. The second semester of General Science is the forestudy of Biology. It too emphasizes the language used in the study of Biology besides providing something in the way of personal health adjustment. j Biology is the second course in the science unit. The main object is to give the students a picture of the living world as a whole in order to make them appreciate the relationship between living things. The course also supplements the health course in that it furnishes a study of the human body in detail. Chemistry and Physics are taught alternately. Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter. It gives a general view of the ninety-two elements and the characteristics of their most important compounds. Some of the im- portant commercial processes are learned. It is hoped that this course is of value to both the student that is going to college and the one who is not. Physics is the study of work and energy and is needed by future engineers. Physics classes in Clymer Central are not very large as it is a difficult subject. However it is as important as any other subject because the world is crying for such specialists. Physics, Chemistry and Biology have separate laboratory periods. This makes the science courses complete. 30 MATHEMATICS M. Ives, M. Gravink, D. Ton, S. Schruers. SCIENCE Mr. Henry J. Legiers, M. Boozel, C. Howles, S. Schruers, D. Buckner 3 1 BUSINESS EDUCATION HE commercial department aims to provide the students with a general business knowledge plus definite skills to aid them in their selected Voca- tion. Introduction to business acquaints the students with the essentials of the modern business world. In bookkeeping I the students learn to record adequately, business transactions. Typing is a skill which the students may use, not only in the business world but also for personal reasons in a variety of circumstances. Business law provides a background of knowledge to give the students a gen- eral understanding of business practices, laws, and customs. Business arithmetic, business organization and management, and salesman- ship will be taught next year. Business arithmetic provides a background for the students to apply their knowledge of arithmetic to everyday business problems. Business organization and management is a study of the different kinds of businesses and the way in which they function. Salesmanship is a course whereby the student becomes acquainted with thequalities of a good salesman. It is very useful to the student because it not only teaches him to sell, but also how to buy economically. SCCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT HE Social studies department under the direction of Mr. Sayre, completed several successful courses in Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior history. The first year history class studied and discussed civics and citizenship, a study which will guide the individual in the business of every day life and help him plan his future. The Sophomores furthered their knowledge in the voluminous depths of ancient history and in acquiring a general knowledge of world geography which is basic to an understanding of the economic world of today. The com- pleting year of Junior social studies is units covering the American economic way of life and our geographical development of those institutions that have con- tributed significantly to our democratic ideals. This last year of history is de- vised to gradually deepen our appreciation of the responsibilities as well as the privileges that we enjoy under our democratic form of government. Much emphasis was placed on current events in all the social studies classes because an understanding of present world problems is essential to successfully adapting ourselves to the contemporary world after we finish school. A group of two Seniors and four Juniors participated in the Hi-Y Assembly held at Fredonia in Saturday, November gth. A bill proposing the compulsory innoculation of dogs for the prevention of hydrophobia was suc- cessfully passed by the Clymer representatives. Despite the usual station- wagonv difficulties the group arrived safely home with the satisfied air of politicians. All this has gone together to give the students a better understanding of the world situation today. 32 T Hqgii .wk 1 eg Q 8,1 ff IL!! MJ BUSINESS EDUCATION H. Neckers, J. McCray, Mr. Brown, L.

Knowles ' 0 .30 VOCATIGNAL AGRICULTURE HE word vocational,' implies training for a career or occupation. Voca- tional agriculture is training to prepare the pupil to successfully cope with the problems found in farming and living in a farming ciominunity. In order to prepare the pupil for useful citizenship and successful farming the Vocational Agriculture curriculum is tailored to do the following things: I. To develop skills which will be useful on the farm and in the home. 2. To provide ownership experience and develop an equity for entrance into farming. This explains why we desire the pupil to actually own his calf or other project rather than simply keep records on the family cow. 3. To develop the pupils ability to make intelligent decisions in regard to the management and business aspects of his farm. 4. To give the pupil experience in working within organizations. Much is accomplished along this line through the Future Farmers, organization. 5. To improve the pupils use of English. This includes written and oral English, spelling and vocabulary. VUCATIONAL HOMEMAKING course in Homemaking is necessary and of great importance to girls who wish to make for themselves and their families better and happier homes. Girls start instruction as early as the seventh grade and those who wish may continue the course through high school. It offers opportunities in several fields such as interior decoration, budgeting, child care, nutrition, family life, sewing and any other details pertaining to home management. Learning is done as real life situations by actual experience in class. These classes have carried on many interesting activities this year such as entertaining young mothers, re-decorating furniture, making baby clothes, cooking small meals and entertaining the boys in the Ag. department. One class also visited the Kling Furniture Factory in Mayville. Besides regular class work, a home project is required of every girl. It is 2D opportunity to practice ideas learned in school for the betterment of the home. Homemaking is important to every girl as she is the homemaker of the future. 34 VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE I.

In many cases the particular talent of an individual is not discovered until rather lateg sometimes too late. It is during the high school period that such things show themselvesh- It is therefore very important that they be recognized at that time if they are to be developed. Education will have become perfect when it is able to recognize capacities and give the proper atten- tion to them. The totalitarian states are not very much concerned about talent as far as the individual is concerned. They are merely concerned about getting the most out of the individual in state service. A certain person might be a first class actor but if he serves a political Lparty better as a region leader, all his talents are lost. Opportunities for dramatic ability in Clymer High School is pro- vided by the junior and Senior plays and by the assembly programs. These affairs furnish the town with some of its best entertainment be- sides being a means of developing talent. The yearbook staff demands writing ability. The band and chorus makes use of the musical artists of the school. All in all it can be said that a graduating student of Clymer High School has had an opportunity to accomplish himself in aspects besides those of an academic nature. 37 THE SENIGR ,PLAY N the evening of November 13, 1948 excitement was rippling like an un- dercurrent through the Senior Class. It was a big night, the night of our Senior play. How Would it go off? Would everyone remember their lines? Those butterflies in our stomachs seemed to be getting bigger all the time. It all started by trying to choose a play. What should it be? Finally with the help of Miss Fancher We chose a play from Jane Austin's novel Pride and Prejudice. The cast Was picked and Was as follows: Mr. Bennet, an easy going businessman, Dean Buckner, Mrs. Bennet, his flighty wife, Carol Howlesg Jane, their gentle daughter, Shirley Schruersg Elizabeth, their independent daughter, Lucille Bemis, Mary, their bookish daughter, Marilyn Gravinkg Catherine, their fretful daughter, June Whitcherg Lydia, their flirtatious daughter, Phyllis Ben- sinkg Mr. Collins, a pompous young clergyman, Robert VanEardeng Mr. Bing- ley, a friendly young man, Everett Warnshouseg Miss Bingley, his haughty sis- ter, Shirley Wright, Mr. Darcy, a proud young man, Gordon Wilkinson, Lady Catherine de Bough, his overbearing aunt, Donna Tong Lady Lucas, a neighbor, Mary Lou McCann, Charlotte, her plain daughter, Carolyn TeCulverg Mr. Wickham, a young officer, Malcolm Boozelg Hill, a maid, Joyce Legters. Practices started and they Were hard Work but the Seniors had their fun too. Whose shoes were those put up on the flag pole? Who put them there? Ah, a mystery! Those chandeliers in the halls come down easy! Ask the Seniors, they know. Cider and doughnuts Were also enjoyed after practice furnished by Shirley Schruers. Learn your lines-put more expression in them- don't miss your cues. Miss Fancher and Mr. Henry found it was tedious work trying to make our play a success. After having a difficult time finding costumes and furniture from the eighteen hundreds, finally came the night of the play. The first act is over, the second and then the third. The play is a success, the people liked it and it was Worth all the work. Pictures Were taken after the play and then the Seniors said good-by to their last play to be given in Clymer Central. It all was fun and We will never forget it. 38 SENIOR PLAY l. Donna, Phyllis, and Mary Lou, 19th century lassies. 2. Our flats in the making. 3. Ageing Shorty. 4. So that's the program! 5.

The performance kept the audience in a constant uproar throughout the entire' play. The play was centered around a young girl, Bunny, whose attempts to imitate her friendsf eventually lands the family in a pack of trouble. It took place in the month of June at the summer cottage of the Bartletts, situated on the shores of Findley Lake. The members of the cast included Jim Bartlett, a gentleman in the con- struction business who finds his children almost to much for him, Donald Bel- knapg Delia Bartlett, his wife who is usually able to cope with any situation which arises, Thelma Tenl-Iuiseng Bunny, their attractive daughter who is any- one but her own sweet self, Shirley White, Tommie, their son who usually has a plan to make anyone's hair turn gray, Lester Grotersg Nettie, another daughter always trying to act older than her years, Marilyn Turckg Lizzie, the maid add- ing her share of humor, Marianne Smolkg Jessica Atwood, Bunny's guest--one of her ideals, Ardith Rhebergeng Delphine Lindley, another of Bunny's guests- another ideal, Jacquelyn Sweet, Steve Henderson, an ardent admirer o f Bunny who is led astray by Jessica in her attempts to win him, Alvin Pickettg Carol Russell, Tommie's sweetheart who lives next door, Fern Brown, Miss Flora Fen- wick, a naturalist who adds the eccentric touch, Dorothy Grover, and Mrs. Phelps, a contractor's wife, who positively cannot stand anyone under the age of forty, Betty Wright. We will never forget the preparation for the play. After the play was picked out came the grand scramble for parts. Whew! those lines! We never could get one act learned before another came, and after the practices were jam sessions at the restaurant. What fun!! Don't forget the sixty cents for the cafeteria. V A great deal of credit goes to Mr. Sayre and' Miss Fancher, the directors of the play, for working so whole-heartedly for the success of our play. Finally the big night arrived. Is anyone nervous? But the play went off as a tremendous success and it gave us a happy feeling to know that we had actually done a difficult task so well. 410 i X' f'gi2i2?9?

During the past years the band has met together regularly at the ninth periods on Monday and Wednesdays. However this year a new schedule has been devised making it possible for the band to meet two alternating periods on Monday and the ninth on Wednesday. This has worked out nicely for the students and band, providing the students with a greater knowledge of music and blending the band into better harmony. Highlights of the year included the acquisition of new uniforms just in time for the Spring Festival at Fredonia and participation by Fern Brown, Shir- ley Schruers, Barbara Goring in the County Band rehearsals located in different schools once a month all over the country. Also the Band featured the annual spring concert. at the Open House May 27 as well as leading the annual parade on Memorial Day. To end this eventful year they played at the Commence- ment exercises. Several pieces, including 4th class music, were mastered this year under the skillful management of Mr. Manuel. The students can be proud of a successful year equally enjoyed by all. CHORUS HARACTERISTICALLY the chorus began this year under the direction of Mr. Manuel to begin and further their study of harmony in both classi- cal and popular music. This year's work included preparation of several pro- gram ensembles. Carolyn TeCulver was elected early in the year as the leading official of the chorus while Bob Selfridge was to manage the secretarial and treasurer duties. Ardith Rhebergen and Mark Williams were elected as librarians. After much persuasion and a final curbing of the students put-it-offn attitude an operetta Ask The Professor was whipped into presentable shape. An evening of delightful songs, dances and comedy was the climax of practice and the students musical ingenuity. On May 13th the chorus went to Fredonia to compete in the annual Music Festival. Some of the songs prepared to be presented there were: 'iBy the Bend of the Riveru, l'Rum Tum, Tumu, Today There Is Ringingn, and Requiem . During chorus rehearsals each year the students of the school are offered an opportunity to aid and take part in the musical activity of the C.C.S. Chorus. 42 BAND Front Row' M Gravink, M. McCann, G.

A fortune is a cold lifeless thing hut a friend can give a richness to life that is he- yond measuring. In fact, the only value of a fortune is that it is a means of heiping friends. Friendship is twofold. It is giving and taking. Either gives much satisfaction. One of the tragedies of the present time is that a real friend is a rare thing. This is especially true in Europe. In th totalitarian states one can not even trust members of his own family, let alone expecting to have trustworthy friends. In some countries a person that acts too friendly is a person open to suspicion. This condition alone should he enough to indict those countries. In Clymer High School the opportunity to achieve friendship is found in club activities. The different cluhs nzeet twice a month in regular meetings. Some of them have the students work toward a com- mon end. Others have friendly competition as the hasis of formulating understanding and companionship. Besides creating worth while atti- tudes the cluhs are avenues of real enjoyment. Perhaps the United Na- tions would he more of a success if more countries had such cluhs in their schools. 47 BACHELORS' CLUB O DOUBT, you've all heard of the Bachelors, Club composed of a group of fellows who are ready with a whistle for every passing girl. They or- ganized this year with Raymond TeWi.nkle, president, Malcolm Boozel, secre- tary, and George Camper, treasurer. The boys started the club ticking with a party last fall at which their motto was, Eat, drink, and be merry, and ended the year with much the same enthusiasm. With Mrs. Cady,s help, the boys learned to mend socks, press clothes, iron shirts, and in short to be well-groomed bachelors. They also donned aprons, which members of a former Bachelors, Club had made, and have tried their hand at making fudge, various kinds of pies fueven better than Mom makesf, they sayj , along with other tasty dishes. They've been getting pointers about manners in regard to dating and learning how high school boys should act. Not only that, they have learned to operate the sewing machines, the boys now feel secure, that as bache- lors they can be happy and successful. So girls, taking things into considera- tion, who could ask for anything more than a Clymer Central Bachelor? LIBRARY CLUB ISHING to become better acquainted with books and with the library, f about 40 students meet ninth period every second Friday in the library to hold a business meeting and do any work in the library that may be neces- sary. Reviews of well known books are given at the meetings by various mem- bers of the club to give every one an overall view of the new books recently printed. Once a month the club holds a work meeting at night. Most of the time is spent repairing books, completing the card catalogue or arranging a bulletin board display. However there is time left over for a few games and some re- freshments. , Last September we organized under the direction of Miss Fancher and elected Robert Selfridge as president, Marilyn Goldberg, vice president, Shirley VanEarde,n, secretary, and Winifred Wiggers, treasurer. The club has enjoyed several parties this year, among them were a Christ- mas party at school and a skating party at Celoron. All these activities have helped to bring the year to a successful and event- ful close very much enjoyed by each member. 48 1 BACHELORS CLUB Standing: M. Boozel, L. Warnshlxis, R. Tewinkle, A.

History. 4.9 CHESS AND CHECKER CLUB HE Chess and Checker Club has more than twenty ardent members this year. They elected Harold Neckers as president, Thelma TenHuisen as vice president, and Shirley White as secretary-treasurer. Just the electing of these sagacious officers promised a good year. The club meets officially every two weeks during the activity period. The only business transacted is to defeat the others in the club. During our party held in the homemaking room, many games were played and much eats,' were consumed. There have been a number of transendant games between individuals outside of the group meetings. The members of the club are always happy to help anyone outside of the club to find the enjoyment that can be had by play- ing chess and checkers. Both chess and checkers require an astute mind, penetrating thought, omnipresent observance and much aforethought in order to play an intelligent game. The purpose of the club is to develop quick thinking and perspicacious players. People having things in common such as playing chess or checkers aids in the betterment of social conditions. The clear thinking that is developed in playing such games can be a great help in solving the problems of life. Under the observance of, and with the cheerful assistance of Mr. Sayre, the group of emulative students is developing players that offer very stiff competition to any- one that will accept their challenge. THE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The F.F.A. organized this year with Gerald Smith as president, John Gold- berg as secretary and Merton Bayle as treasurer. With these boys as leaders the club tried in every respect to carry out the aims and purposes of the club. The primary aim of the F. F. A. is the development of agricultural leader- ship, co-operation, and citizenship. The specific purposes for which this organi- zation was formed are as follows: I. To develop competent, aggressive, rural, and agricultural leadership. 2. To create and nurture a love of country life. 3'. To strengthen the conhdence of farm boys and young men in themselves and their work. 4. To create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations. 5. To encourage members in the development of individual farming pro- grams and establishment in farming. 6. To encourage members to improve the farm home and its surroundings. 7. To participate in worthy undertakings for the improvement of agriculture. 8. To develop character, train for useful citizenship, and foster patriotism. 9. To participate in cooperative effort. Io. To encourage and practice thrift. II. To encourage improvement in scholarship. 50 CHESS AND CHECKER CLUB Left to right, standing: R. White, H. Beckerink, P. Baker, R. Button, F. Cooper, R..

Early in the year the club organized with Donald Belknap as president, Louis Knowles as vice-president, Phillis Bensink as secretary and Mary Lou McCann as treasurer. Highlights of this year included developing and printing pictures by stu- dents of the club, tinting pictures in brown and oil paints, and using aids and devices in photographing scenery. The students enjoyed learning the use of developing solutions and dark room procedures. Several students developed film and enlarged pictures of their own under the direction of Mr. Miller. Many of the students purchased new photographic equipment and learning to use these became a part of the student instruction. Wesley and Winslow TenHagen purchased a new camera with flash attachments and are well on the way of learning to use it. Following the leadership of the udark roomn pals, Don Belknap and Louis Knowles, was J. Paul Hunter, a freshman. He showed keen interest in the technical parts of photography. It is hoped that these students will continue their interest in photography. BOY SCOUTS HE Boy Scouts of America is one of the finest organizations in existence in the world today. Through scouting an ideal program is presented to the growing boy where he may develop leadership and character and prepare himself for citizenship in an interesting manner. Under the leadership of scoutmaster Clarence Rhebergen and his assistant, J. Woodrow Sayre, the local troop, number twenty-five has made great progress during the past year. Numerous boys have received credit for ad- vancement and many new members have been received into the troop. The troop meetings are held on Monday .night of each week at the school and besides the work periods, time is spent playing games and planning the var- ious future activities of the troop. Although the stress is on advancement, hikes, camping trips and inter- troop competition have an important part to play in the life of an active troop. GIRL SCOUTS N every Monday throughout the year except the summer months, the Intermediate Girl Scouts consisting of ten girls and their leader, Pauline Beckerink, met regularly at the school. This year one of the largest projects ever undertaken by the Girl Scouts of the United States, was the making of clothing Kits to be sent overseas. These kits are for the tens of millions of underclad children suffering miserably from the war. 52 S i' PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Clockwise: J. P. Hunter, D. Belknap, E. Stebbins, R. Sweet, M. McCann, M.

They showed more resourcefulness when situ- ations demanded individual initiative. Even when suddenly placed in an environment contrary to anything they had ever known before, they showed amazing stamina, competitive spirit and physical coordination. These things won the war. The Europeans have always wondered why the Americans could make such a showing against their own soldiers. They considered us easy going and very soft while their hoys undergo tough military train- ing. They drill for years on close order drill and other military routines. We helieve that the physical education program of Clymer High School is an answer to the question. It is typical of all American schools. The program consists of team games that develop team play and keen competitive skill. Students participate hecause they want to and as a result their minds henefit as much as their hodies. The regular weekly gym periods teach group discipline hesides giving each individual many opportunities to excel in diferent types of athletic games. The product is a healthy American that can take orders from a leader hut can also command his own hody to meet emergencies. 55 The fact that Clymer has a superior education ,program is due to the ejorts of one man. We Seniors can not jind superlatives enough to describe him and his value to the school. During our school career Mr. Colburn, has been more than a coach and a physical education teacher to us.-- He has been an advisor, a friend, and his personal life has always been an example for us to follow. He has not only been willing, but has been eager, to sponsor extra activities for us. There have been weeks in which he has been busy with some high school group every night. He is one of the leading coaches in the district to plan inter-school play days that are outside of the regular school schedules. The Coach was a star athlete himself in his college days and is a master at imparting his knowledge of sports to high school students. His teams are characterized by aggressiveness but are noted for their clean play and good sportsmanship. Regardless of the material Clymer has had at any given time, rival coaches have never taken our team lightly. Both his team record and the type of students he helps to produce is ample evidence of the character and ability of Mr. Colburn. 56 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Basketball team and Cheerleaders at Businessmen's supper.

HEALTH I-HRD period this year found Coach Colburn conducting the Seniors most lively class. The study of Health soon became an activated discourse of life itself. Basically Health is a study of the anatomical facts and the physiologi- cal aspects of the functions of the body. Early in the year we studied First Aid with everyone practicing bandaging and artificial respiration with fellow stu- dents as victims. One of Coaches' biggest headaches was teaching some of us to tie square knotsf' Who would have thought Seniors could be so dumb? Our study of sensations, muscles, bones, digestive system, respiratory system and other health problems disclosed to us many significant health factors in the care of our bodies. A heated discussion of social problems often were included in class discussions of drugs, diseases and use of tobacco and alcohol. Almost the last thing in the year the class undertook a study of auto- mobiles. The aim was to prepare the Senior girls for the day when they might have to change a tiref' In a few short classes the girls as well as boys become acquainted with the basic parts of an auto. Just ask us what the crankshaft is, or where to ind the sparkplugs. Many were the laughs when one of the girls was describing how she would get a car out of the garage. Malcolm coyly suggested that the doors should be open. Along with a better understanding of Health we acquired from this class many helpful suggestions as to social behavior and clearer thinking to help us prepare ourselves to meet the world after this, our last year of high school. BASEBALL - HE Pirates were slow to start during the 1947 campaign but once they gained momentum, they proved to be the best class B team in the County. For the second time in seven years, Clymer annexed the County Class B Base- ball Championship. After the first game, not even the most optimistic fan would have picked Clymer to win a league championship. Panama pounded out a 16-7 victory, made easier by a multitude of walks and errors. The next game with Mayville, errors again caused our downfall, 6-5. We were greatly encouraged though, because we outhit the 1946 league champs II to 4. We collected the II hits off Bohn Young, their ace pitcher while Rog,, Perdue limited them to 4. With the pitching of Lefty', Porter and Paul TenHuisen we subdued Ripley 9-4. Although outhit 11-9 by Sherman in our next game, a triple by Lefty Porter and a double by Rog', Perdue contributed to a IO-S victory. Revenge was sweet when we snowed under Panama 16-6 with a barrage of I3 hits. TenHuisen's big bat was responsible for a home run and a double while Porter garnered another triple. Russ,' Bemis had a perfect day at bat colllect- ing 2 for 2. The game with Mayville was one of the wild and Wooliesti' games on record. With two of our regulars, Rog,' Perdue and Welly Legters missing, we shifted our lineup and both sides proceeded to hammer the ball with care'- free abandon. Both teams paraded three pitchers to the mound and the game was tied at I2 all at the end of regulation number of innings. Errors and hits continued for two more innings. Finally, Slaney Walford, diminutive center 58 HEALTH CLASS Standing: G. Wilkinson, L. Lictus, I. Whitcher, M. Boozel, C. 'l'eCulver, A. Pickett, C. Howles, E1 Warnshouse, H. Beckerink, R.

He knocked the ball out of the catcher,s hand as he slid in to give us a 16 to If victory. From that game on we played almost errorless ball. We defeated Sherman I 1 to 3, highlighted by Tab Weeks stealing home. The next game with Ripley clinched the league championship when TenHuisen's fast ball limited them to 2 hits and we emerged on the long end of an 8 to I victory. In the semi-final playoffs with Celoron, fine pitching from Rog Perdue and consistent hitting against Celoron's undefeated ace pitcher, Root, enabled us to win a well played contest 6-5. Bemis with two doubles and Porter with one were instrumental in winning this game. The finals for the Class B County diadem were played at Bemus Point against Westfield. Westfield, we felt, had the best team we faced all season. It was one of our on,' days though and Rog,' Perdue bested his cousin Mel Perdue in a pitcher,s duel. We pushed across 6 runs to their 3 in a game marred by only two errors. Gordy White had a perfect day at bat to drive in two of the runs. , We played Randolph for the bi-county championship at Jamestown and lost an extremely close game, 3-2. The sidearm delivery of Wadsworth was new to our boys and we connected for two hits. This nullified the superb two hit pitching of Lefty Porter. All in all, it was a record season with a fine team. This year we missed the services of such fine performers as Paul TenHuisen, Russ,' Bemis, Tabby Weeks, Rog,' Perdue, Slaney Lip Walford and Gordy White. However, with such veterans as Kenney,' Wilkinson, Welly Legters, Lefty Porter and Mal', Boozel we had an excellent nucleus for the team this year. CHEERLEADING VERCOMING try-out difficulties Lucille Bemis and Thelma TenHuisen were chosen to occupy the vacant positions on the varsity cheerleading squad. Carol Shorty,' Howles, captain, Phyllis Bensink and Mary Lou McCann completed this year's squad. The ups and downs of the basketball team became the ups and downs of the cheerleaders while they were participating in Clymer,s favorite winter pas- time, basketball. The keen competition between inter-school cheerleaders pr0- vides the cheerleaders with a definite incentive. With the Freshman, Janette Gravink, Winifred Wiggers and Dolores Porter in majority, and the experience of Ardith Rhebergen, captain, and Norma New- house, a successful year of junior varsity cheerleading was completed. Their new flashy gold sweaters added color to the J. V. games and a barrage of new cheers added the necessary enthusiasm. The varsity cheerleaders were rewarded for a year of hard work by being chosen to represent the Western League varsity team at the All-Star Game held at Mayville. 60 OUR CHEERLEADERS IN ACTION 61 VARSITY BASKETBALL HE varsity was made up of mostly Sophomores this year. In view of this, the school did not expect very much of the team in regard to winning games. The main hope was that the boys would gain enough experience during the year to make them title contenders during the next two years. But before the year was over, the team gave evidence that they were good enough to make people notice them as a team, not only of the future, but of the present. As Was expected, the season started slowly. We lost the Hrst three games. Frewsburg beat us twice and Panama once. However, at this point the 'team started to develop rapidly. They gave Mayville Qwho were eventually cham- pionsj a very tough battle and rose to unbelievable heights by beating Sherman. This was very much of a surprise as Sherman was last year,s champions and had many of their team back this year. We won the next three games also. The victims were Bemus Point, Ripley, and Chautauqua. Southwestern beat us but this was one if our best games. The team broke about even during the rest of the year. ' High scorer of the year - Willie', VanEarden was chosen to represent Clymer on the Western league,s first team at the all-star game at Mayville. Welly Legters and Kenny Wilkinson played on the second team. Welly being high scorer in that game. The future for Clymer looks bright. The team showed what possibilities there might be in store for Clymer by taking second place in the Boys' Club Tournament at Jamestown. JUNIOR VARSITY HE Junior' Varsity was composed of two teams this year. One team was made up of Freshmen and the other of upper classmen. The competition be- tween these two teams resulted in a spirited aggregation that won all but three games. Most of the games were won without much competition. When one considers that the team could practice only two nights a week, and most of that time on only half the floor, the record is remarkable. The Freshmen starting team was made up of the following: Guards, Milf, Courtright and Jack Arninkg Center, Homer Loomisi Forwards, Jim,' Lictus and Rodney Edwards fSoph.j. These boys handled the ball well and show much promise for the future. Homer Loomis is a forthcoming star and prob- ably will be an outstanding player during the next three years. The upper class team starters were: Guards, Dick Neckers, Hiram Becker- ink and Lester Grotersg Center, Alvin Pickett, Forwards, Doc Warnshouse and Albert Giles. The team was very tall which was often the deciding factor. Doon and Albert were high scoring forwards while Dick Neckers kept the team settled. The object of a Junior Varsity is to prepare a team for the future. Whether or not this team was a success will not be known for a year or two, but all in- dications are most optimistic. The boys are growing fast and it is hoped that they will turn out to be Clymer's best team. 62 VARSITY BASKETBALL Front Row-C. King, W. TenHagen, I.. Legters, M. Boozel, K. Wilkinson.

A tense moment in the Clymer-Sherman 7th and Sth grade game T4-IIS - o Tl-I Charm There is one thing ahout European culture that was very evident to the American soldier during the last war. That was the fact that Europe is strictly a man's world. A typical continental scene is a man strolling lazily along the streets followed .hy a woman who is carrying a heavy load. Except for a very select few, the women of Europe are simply slaves to the men. They seldom get a chance to display those delicate qualities that make up femininity. On the other hand we in America have a much different point of view. We believe that the elevated place of women in society is the latest and highest step in the volution of modern culture. We helieve that the fine and rarer things of life are gentleness, sweetness, fascination, and a numher of other things that can he summed up in one word - charm, Charm is primarily a feminine characteristic and if it is to he present in our daily lives, conditions must he such that our women can exhihit them. Thus we have made our country a woman,s country and it has paid us hy taking some of the harshness out of everyday life that is so common place in other countries. The Senior Class of 1948 has more than its share of feminine charm. It is one of the outstanding features of the class and of the yearhoolz. 67 MAY DAY - 1947 TRUMPET fanfare introduced the May Day festivities of 1947 featuring pretty girls and flowers. The procession moved beneath flowered arches to a throne on the stage of the auditorium where comely Betty White was crowned Queen of the May. After the fanfare, with accompaniment by Carolyn Teculvef at the piano, the Junior arch bearers-Mary Lou McCann, Phyllis Bensink, Lucille Bemis and Carol Howles placed their arches at the head of the line. Following these came the Sophomoresg Shirley White, Ardith Rhe- bergen, Thelma TenHuisen and Jackie Sweet. Completing the line of arches were the Freshmen, Sally Yaiko, Ruth Wright, Jean McCray and Phyllis Aikens, with their flower covered arches. Taking their places at either side of the throne the Que'en's attendants, Helen Holton, Marvel Cheney, Clara Yaiko and Evelyn Thieme completed a charming court. Attired in pastel dresses, carrying baskets of flower petals, the six petite first graders flower paved the Queenis way to the throne. The awed audience watched as Betty ascended to her place of honor with queenly pomp. The Freshmen representative, Shirley Va.nEarden presented the Queen with a narcissis covered foot-stool. Closely following came Jean Goldberg the Sophomore representative with a garland of spring flowers. After' Jean had taken her place next to the throne, Shirley Schruers as the Junior representative crowned the Queen with a headdress of white sweet peas and roses. At the Queen,s command- Let the festivities begin twenty girls from the fourth and Hfth grades skipped out to curtsy to the Queen and proceed with the May Pole Dance. With another fanfare the fourth and Hfth grade nymphs completed their dance with another curtsy to the Queen and daintily skipping, began the May Day recessional' back through the arches. In a quick flourish the flower girls, Queen, Senior attendants and representatives left the throne with the spectators regretfully watching them pass through he flower-decked arches. The May Day festivities were completed with the arch-bearers slowly moving the archer out of their line in the auditorium. All the girls including the arch bearers were dressed in formals of pastel shades. The Queen was appropriately attired in white, and carried a colonial bouquet of flowers similar to those carried by her attendants provided by the Junior class. The May Pole Dance took place with an array of multicolored streamers around a May Pole made stationary at the right of the auditorium. was the usual scramble for pictures, and a completely satisfied group of girls who had once more successfully enacted the most beautiful and charming tradition of Clymer Central - May Day. .68 if ,- K . 1 Z i 2 W fi W m L 23.441, - N , l ' ' . a- . fy? -fl QM - 1i i:1f-Q - - i MAY DAY Top-Flower girls and Queen.

Clymer's members in the National Honor Society: L. Legters, P. Bensink, T. Ten!-Iuisen, D. Ton, NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY N TUESDAY afternoon May 25, 1948, five Clymer Central School stu- dents were received into the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. They were Dean Buckner, Donna Ton, Phyllis Bensink, Llewellyn Legters and Thelma TenHuisen. Miss Margaret Fancher serves as faculty sponsor. The installation ceremony was conducted by seven Jamestown Senior High School students under the direction of their sponsor, Miss Hattie Boak. The Jamestown chapter is known as the Kappa Alpha Tau. Plans for the organization of a chapter of the National Honor Society at Clymer Central were made during the second term of the present school year. A constitution was written and submitted to the national headquarters in Wash- ington, D. C. Approval was received a few days before the installation cere- many. The Clymer group was assigned the oilicial number, 3569. It is to be known as the Kappa Lambda Chapter. I The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was organized by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1921. The aim of the society was to be the fostering of scholarship and the recognition of qualities of leadership, character and service among the students of our secondary schools. There are now more than 3300 chapters in public and private accredited sec- ondary schools in every state of the union. A candidate for membership in the local chapter must, according to its constitution, have spent at least one semster in the Clymer Central High School. He must stand in the upper third of his class in scholarship and must be a mem- ber of either the Junior or Senior' Class. Not more than 1 gf of the Senior Class and not more than IOZ of the Junior Class may be elected to membership. 86 GUIDANCE COMMITTEE Mr. Flynn, Mr, Colburn, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Sayre, Mrs. Wassink.

The purpose of these meetings was to promote better under- standing between the teachers and the commun- ity. Usually the first hour was devoted to the business affairs of the organization. Any func- tion for the improvement of conditions for the students was considered legitimate business. It might include buying needed equipment or spon- soring some kind of educational or recreational program. The second hour of the evening was given to entertainment. Many enjoyable musical numbers were heard along with interesting talks on education. Mr. Miller also entertained one evening With moving pictures of the activities of the Clymer School during the last few years. All meetings were concluded with refreshments in the cafe- teria. This proved to be a social event in itself. The success of the organization was chiefly due to the leadership of Mrs. Frederick Va.nderSchaff. She proved herself an able administrator in carrying out her duties as president. The Faculty Mrs. Wassink led the faculty club this year. Her guidance resulted in an enjoyable social year for all. The committees selected for the various duties worked efficiently and all the parties were a success. One cf the outstanding parties was held in the fall at Colburn's cottage. Sailing was the main feature of this event. The Hobo Party held in the gym was another unforgetful evening. The teachers Hnally got a chance to relax and be themselves. A Wild assortment of costumes showed their true feelings and desires. Mr. Brown stole the shown by his remarkable performance in the parlor games that were played. Mr. Brown was elected as 'next year's president and the faculty feels cer- tain that it will also be an enjoyable year. 90 SENIORS Standing: D. Ton, M. McCann, L. Bemis, P. Bensink, Mr. Henry, D.

In this book the various classes and activities are vividly portrayed through editorials and pictures. Beginning during Christmas vacation and con- tinuing on after the January exams the Seniors waged their all out campaign for the soliciting of ads. The streets of all the surrounding towns have been pounded by Weary feet and tired bones, back and forth, back and forth. Not enough for the ads. - a last minute rush to get Writeups into the printers. W 7 -- hot dogs and ice cream at Work meetings and finally the finished product-The Spotlight of 1948. Our heartiest thanks goes to Mr. Henry for his unfailing patience and skillful guidance during the endless hours of Work on this project. We were fortunate also in having Mr. Miller's valuable help in photog- raphy which he so liberally donated toward the success of The Spotlight. 91 ADMINISTRATIUN The Board of Education CLAYTON LaROSE CLARENCE LEC-TERS President Vice President DELOSS ROUSE RALPH THOMPSON LYLE COMPTON Clerk 92 P WESLEY MILLER MRS. DOROTHY CONNELLY HUBERT BROWN Principal District Superintendent Vice President ADMINSTRATION The Board of Education is composed of five American citizens, representa- tives of each school district belonging to our central school. These men have made it possible for us to be educated in a beautiful school which is Well kept, to read the best text books, and they hire the most capable teachers to serve on the staff. Workiiig with the board to solve the problems of a school such as ours is Mr. Miller, our principal, who directs a diversified program of activities and classes. No problem is too insignificant for his undivided attention and good advice. Our Vice-Principal, Mr. Brown collaborates with Mr. Miller on the various problems which arise during the school year. He also oversees and plans our intricate transportation system. This is just one example of his competence in anything undertaken for the school or the students. Mrs. Connelly, our District Superintendent of Schools, is familiar to all of us. We often see her in our various classes offering suggestions and constructive criticism. She works with the teachers helping them to select proper material for teaching and suitable methods of carrying them out. When asked, she also advises the Board of Education. 93 i PATRONS' LIST Mr. and Mrs. William Gravink Harry Wake Canella,s Shoe Repair Kopke's Store Carl Schmidt C.
