DEDICATION TO - OUR - PARENTS HWe, the Seniors of Columbus Grove, Class of 1957, do hereby dedicate our annual to you. It is with deepest respect and appreciation that we do so. Without your constant guidance and understanding it would have been impossible for us to attain our goal. Please accept the dedication of our annual as an expression of the love and appreciation which we have for you. The Seniors PARENTS 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS ALMA MATER Once again here our schoolmates assemble. We fain would lift our hearts in song, To our high school our dear Alma Mater Let gladness our moments prolong, We are proud of our lads and our lasses. Of honors won in days gone by, So here's a cheer for our old High School For our old High School our dear old High. Soon for us will our school days be ended. Our dreams of youth that fade so fast. But we know our hearts oft will ponder In memories of scenes that are past, There are joys that will long be remembered, And friendships too, that ne'er can die. So here's a cheer for our old High School For our old High School our dear Old High. Here's to our classes, Here's to our lasses Here’s to our lads they adore, Here’s to the Senior’s so mighty Juniors so flighty, Freshy and Sophomore Let mirth and gladness banish all sadness And as the days go by, You'll find us ready and steady. Boasting for Columbus Grove High. 4 ADMINISTRATION OUR SUPERINTENDENT COLLINS J. STACKHOUSE The Class of 1957 will always be one to remember for its fine fellowship and ability to accomplish the task which they have set out to perform. You have set a fine example for the lower classes not only scholastically but also in the fields of music and athletics. Now that you are about to enter a new era in your lives I want to wish all of you a happy future with success in all of your undertakings. OUR PRINCIPAL DALBETT PICKENS As seniors, you look to the future and trust that you may find as full and as happy a life as you have enjoyed during your school years. Now that you have reached the point of graduation, you know that what you have achieved has come through the effort of your beloved parents. They have had the great responsibility of putting you through schooL Your teachers know that your success is the school's success and they have worked very hard to assure it. May Columbus Grove High School ever stand as one in which you may be proud to have been a part. 6 SCHOOL BOARD The members of the school board are: Dr. Donald Hilty, President; Edgar Begg, Dr. C. W. Field, Merlin Jones, George Hawkey, and Adam Stewart, Clerk. The Board of Education plays a most important part in the educational program. The degree of excellence or inferiority of the educational program in our community is determined to a great extent by the kind of school board the community has elected. The board of education is the legal agency designated by the state to be responsible for the conduct of educational affairs delegated to the school district. The powers of the board of education are derived from the state legislature. Our community can be proud of the present and past Boards of Education which have enabled our community to maintain a first rate school. MRS. BURKHAM Mrs. Burkham, in name, is our office clerk but to all of us she is much more than her name implies. A friendly smile, a helping hand and a good suggestion are always awaiting each of us. We wish to thank her for her kind co-operation. MISS IMOGENE HAWK COLLEGE: W ittenberg College A.B.; Ohio University. SUBJECTS: Commercial Department.

Maybe you would like to know where we are going. We are going to the moon for a class reunion. It has been twenty years since the class of 1957 has had a reunion. We are being flown to the moon by Sam Barto, Wayne Blubaugh, and Gary Bricker in their own atomic planes. I know Carol Risser can’t be in all three planes at once, but she divides her time equally among these planes as an Air Line Hostess. I thought they would never turn on those lights, now we can see who is around us. There is Joan Bricker and Brenda Bell. Back on earth they give Marilyn Monroe (what did she do any more) ducktails. Gee, I guess it feels rather funny for Dick Birkemeyer, David Rummel, and Garnett Ridenour to be in a plane. They are Admirals in the Navy now. They better watch it or they will get sea-sick in the plane. Ohl Ohl There goes our motor out again. Oh, well, never fear when George Donaldson, Larry Martz, Don Johnston, and Duanne Reed are in the plane. They will have it fixed in no time; then we will be on our way. You do know, don’t you, that those boys are chief mechanics at General Motors. There is Doyle Foltz with his private secretary, Mary Stechschulte. Wouldn’t it be nice if they got married? But Doyle is still a bachelor and Mary is a spinster. Now we have started again. The secretaries Dorothy Carpenter, Lorna Craig, Clarine Hoffman, Nona Wood, Sallie Irwin, Shirley Ramsey, Jean Kohli, and Wilma Meyer are taking notes all along so earth people will know what happens on the way to the moon, after we get there, and on the way home. These girls are combining business with pleasure. There is Barry Blosser, Tom Best, Jacque Donovan, and Bill Smith trying to throw their weight around. Just because they are millionaires on Earth, they try try to boss everybody around even off the Earth. Tom Maag, who is taking care of your 58,000 chickens. Oh, I bet Wayne Smith and Bob Wood are angry since they couldn’t make this trip. They had to stay home and help the Internal Revenue count their money. We have now arrived. Who would ever think our own classmates Bob Blankemeyer, Dean Begg, Joe Karcher, and Mark Schroeder would be the first farmers on the moon. They send green cheese to the Earth. There are nurses Carol Bogart, Virginia Hitchcock, Beverly Jones, and Sharon Turner taking care of Rita Elliott’s children. Too bad she couldn’t have got a baby sitter on this occasion. How can the Earth schools get along without these principals, Madalyn Verhoff and Shirley Eversole, and their Superintendent Sylvia McKanna? How, we will never know. Jon Miller is now president of Ohio State University. The first engineers to ever live on the moon were our own Jerry Altstaetter, Ed Humphreys, and Gene Donovan. They are used to these “Moon men’’ by mow. I think! I know there are three coaches (Jack Callahan, Mike Unverferth, and Jim Doty) who will never get over their winning team. They haven’t lost a game in eight years. Alll of our class are famous in their own minds. These housewives (Bonnie Krontz, Jerry Hoyt, Jackie Fruchey, Anna Knott, and Gloria Dunlap) love being just Mrs. Housewife. They are gabbing about their homes and children. A very good subject for these girls. We must leave this moon. The Earth people can only stay on the moon a very short time, unless you are accustomed to the atmosphere. So we bid farewell to our classmates, who have to stay. Let’s all get aboard the plane. It leaves in five minutes.
