Page four And W1 WZ Centered around Hicksville High School we have a very pleasant little community. The people know what it is like to understand their neighbors and to be their friends, to help them in case of sickness and in many other ways. Here in Hicksville the friendly neighbor is there when he is needed most and is always willing to give a helping hand. Our community, too, is doing its share in the national war effort. Its inhabitants are always ready to give to the Red Cross, War Relief, and other organizations whose help is needed so badly by our boys. One has only to glance at our honor roll on Main Street to see that we, too, have given up our boys, friends, relatives, so that the war might be concluded quickly. 1. Hicksville Fire Truck 2.

You have only to visit our community to see how a well suited environment can add to the happiness of one's life. Therefore, we feel that we must summon our deepest gratitude to the citizens of our community. This village is wholly deserving of this tribute. It has received our total respect and, in turn, we hope to have received theirs. Therefore, it is only fitting and proper that the Senior class of Hicksville High dedicates this Hixonian to the people of our town. 4. Public Library 5. Ohio Power 6.

Barber Shop Why is it that the students always scoff or appear to be dis- couraged with school? It surely cannot be that they are fright- ened by the fact that they might learn something. They should, by all means, look upon school as a privilege and an advanta- geous opportunity, and moreover, not only for all that, but also for the everlasting friendship it may bring. Why can't school be a pivot for all young people? Yes, it is just that-a youth's center. Why? Because it is here that we become acquainted with all types of fellow students, and we may profit from them as well. We enjoy good times, prepare a founda- tion for future life, are g r e a t ly interested in school activities. Perhaps, in years to come, we may This is the story of have memories of our school life as it was, is, and will be-a true youth's center. Yes, all of this is a part of the life of youth and pertains wholly to it. Sponsored by Camp Farm Equipment NVQ Page ten C. L. Hilbert, Glen Countryman, F. T. McCal1a, Marvin Applegate, Walter C. Smith Board of Education The Board of Education is the guilding hand of the school.. The members of the board, as a whole, bear the burden of keep- ing the school functioning smoothly. They solves problems of the school, especially along the mechanical side. V All students in school, and those that are out of school, realize the importance of a good well-rounded education and are appre- ciative to the board for helping maintain an educational system in our community.

Now that career has come to a close, and though there are only thirty-four of us left, we feel that we have done justice to all our superiors, who have so willingly tried to make this time both fruitful and enjoyable. As we stand back and review our history, we see the biggest imprint was left on society in our Senior year.

Already thirteen members of the original class of sixty-five have withdrawn. Since we realized that many of our most tremendous problems would present themselves this year, the class wisely chose Max Grover, president: David Van Horne, vice-president: Willadene Turner, secretary : Maurine Tuttle, treasurer: with Miss Althaus serving as our advisor. Io Anne Beerbower and Dick Beree were chosen co-editors of the Spoondrift and soon had the paper running smoothly under the careful supervision of Mrs. Culler and Miss Althaus. The entire class worked to help make the Iunior class play, Don't Take My Penny a success. Margaret Panasuk, in the l e a d i n g role, surely played her p a rt with much sympathy. Perhaps the most awaited and longed-for event was the Iunior -Senior banquet, which we had the privi- lege of planning and pre- , paring for as our farewell gift to the Seniors. Al- though it was quite a task, we surely enjoyed plan- ning and fixing each little detail. Watching and hearing the Seniors ex- press their gratitude was thanks enough, and we felt a good deed success- fully done. It is with sadness and reverence that we pre- Dare for our final year in q o o d ol e Hicksville High. It is our one desire to leave as proudly as we entered.

Excerpts From the Diary of the Class of '47 1941-42 We, the class of '47, entered the new school building this year. We were privileged to have class parties and elect class officers. 1942-43 4 Three members of our class were selected to serve on the newly organized Student Council. Many of us suddenly became social minded and joined the band and chorus, and the boys began to show-off in baseball. 1943-44 At last we were eligible to be called high school students, but oh, the anguish we suffered! Initiation. Whoo! However, to make up for this we were allowed to choose those subjects which we thought would most benefit us in the future years. 1944-45 As a class we have done little this year. However, certain members of it have distinguished themselves in various ways. We are extremely proud of our third-term president, Waldo Kel- ler. With as much vim and vigor as ever, Euroda Rietz and Barbara Kock are again leading the school yells. Carl Geco- wets, Don Culler, and Bill McCalla have become the ace pho- tographers around the school, and, last but not least, several of the boys have been playing a tough game of basketball this year.

FRESHMEN We, the class of '48, are starting a new and hazardous jour- ney. Thus we selected our guides with much care and patience, and those placed in charge were Iunior Miller, president : Anna Neidhardt, vice-president: and Naomi Lantz, secretary-treasurer. Virgil Pearson, Bill Cleland, and Duane Kennedy have acted as the class representatives to the Student Council. Mr. Snorf, the class advisor, through his able leadership, has helped us all in many ways. Each student has chosen, according to his own personality, a course which will benefit him in his future work. A great many have joined the various intellectual activities offered by the school, and many have shown outstanding ability, both scho- lastic and athletic. The social functions of the year were well attended, with games, dancing, and other forms of amusement in order. lt is our hope that, in the next three years here, we will be able to develop a standard equal to that of our predecessors. In nineteen-hundred and forty-eight, may we, as graduates, reflect the glories of our carefully and precisely planned journey.

It is here that the tools of learning are introduced and their successful usage instituted. It is here that the great American heritage of democratic living is first practiced and established as the pattern of life. Education is a continuous reconstruction of experience: thus from grades one through twelve it is an unbroken process. Therefore the ultimate purpose of the school is to provide for a rich challenging environment in which each pupil, through ac- tual participation in social living, is stimulated and guided in the continuous reorganization of his experience in the direction of a consistent, ever-growing life pattern and a responsible role in a dynamic society. -Myrtle D.

Basketball Hicksville High School again completed one of the most suc- cessful seasons in its basketball career. This year, under the new and able supervision of Burl Snorf, the team did fine work. They had a season's record of fourteen victories and five losses. They started the season with three victories before they were handed their first defeat. Then again they hit their stride for three more straight winnings before they were defeated by Far- mer: the boys could get back on the winning side for only one game, and then they were again defeated by a strong Leo five. They now were out for revenge. They conquered Edgerton, one of their earlier defeats, and then went out to win four more games before their old jinx, Farmer, got them again. They fin- ished the season with two more victories and one defeat. Hicksville entered the district tournament as an underdog against their first opponent, Holgate. However, they defeated Holgate by the score of 29 to 27, and thus advanced to the quar- terly finals against Swanton. The team had no trouble in elim- inating them and making themselves eligible for the semi-finals in which we played Farmer. Hicksville again could not defeat their ace rivals: therefore, they dropped out of the tournament by a score of 36 to 33. We are very proud of our tearn's record. Congratulations, fellows!

With Mr. Snorf as coach, the boys made good progress in building teamwork. Unfortunately the team had no victories during the fall season, but it is hoping for better seasons in future years. Then in the spring the Aces resumed their baseball. They showed consid- erable improvement. The three main pitchers of the year were Paul Iones, Max Ginther, and Richard Green. The early spring weather did not allow for many games or much practice. But Coach Snorf kept the boys at it as much as possible. He is looking for- ward to better results next year.

We have always shown great interest in our sports, basket- ball and baseball. In our triumphs and defeats in these two sports we have gained a better knowledge of sportsmanship. This will be of great value all our lives. We have several club organiza- tions. The camera club a n d commercial c l u b have been of interest to the students. They have given us commercial and industrial knowledge. There are also the F. F. A. and the G. A. A. Pupils have shown enthusiasm in the activities of these two groups.

Music Department The music department of Hicksville during the 1944-45 school year has had a splendid representation of students. The Iunior High Chorus, Girls' Glee Club, Mixed Chorus and Band alto- gether show a total of a hundred fifty pupils. The entire music department is under the direction of Carl W. Zimmerman. The band gave a series of five concerts this year. The first one was held November 17. On December 15 the band gave its Christmas concert along with the chorus. A third concert to be held in February was postponed until March 23 because of the fuel shortage. The last two concerts were held just two weeks apart-the fourth on April 6 and the fifth on April 20. The band gave fine performances with variety and well-chosen selections. The Ohio solo and ensemble contests were held April 21st at Bowling Green. Several students participated: good results were obtained. The choruses also did their share of work this year. Their performances were given along with the band concerts with the exception of one or two sacred concerts. The mixed chorus gave a fine Christmas program. The girls' glee club, having about 27 members, gave two ioint concerts with the band. Likewise the junior high chorus did their share of the music program by giving two joint concerts with the band. We congratulate you, Mr. Zimmerman, for your excellent work.

SPOON DRIFT STAFF The Spoondrift, the bi-monthly publication of Hicksville High School, was published by the Iunior class and was ably super- vised by Mrs. Wendell Culler and Miss Berneice Althaus. The paper is published for the purpose of keeping friends, parents, the student body, and alumni, of Hicksville High School, informed on school functions and activities. We, who were on the staff this year, felt that we had a greater responsibility on our shoulders than did the staffs of previous years. A major part of our circulation went to men and women from H. H. S. who are now serving our great nation. From the letters of appreciation and gratefulness for the paper received from subscribers in the armed forces, We felt that We were doing something to bring home just a little closer to friends of Hicksville High School.

HIXONIAN STAFF According to custom and tradition, the Senior class faced the problem of again editing a yearbook for the high school-a task that has been made doubly hard because of the limited facilities and restrictions that wartime has brought about. High costs of material and labor have made this book undoubtedly very expensive. Local merchants contributed to our fund through advertising: various class activities, and the support of those who purchased the book have made possible its publication. Through it we have endeavored to point out the existing relationship between the school and the community, and to show the whole hearted spirit that prompts such activities. And in appreciation of their help this book has been published and dedicated as our gift to the community. Editor-in-Chief ..........................

The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys, who study agriculture in the public schools of the United States and the islands ' of Puerto' Rico and Hawaii. The ideals upon which the organization is built are patriotism, leadership, citizenship, organized recreation, thrift, scholarship, service, cooperation, char- acter development, and improved agriculture. One of the activities of the chapter was that several members attended F. F. A. camp during last summer's vacation. After school started in the fall, a skating party was sponsored by the chapter. Later in the winter a pest contest was held between the Edgerton chapter and the Hicksville club. The losers of the contest gave a party for the winners, after which a basketball game was played between the chapter teams. All year our activities have furnished us with valuable training.

The aim of the Girls' Athletic Association, a very worth-while organization for the girls of our high school, is to acquire co-operation and harmony among the many girls in the school and offer them an opportunity to participate in the different athletic sports-basketball, hiking, pingpong, bowling, and badminton. Meetings were held the second and fourth Monday nights of each month in the gym, under the direction of Miss Helen Osmun. The business meetings were supervised by Betty Cook, president: Margaret Panasuk, vice-president: Ianet Neidhardt, secretary: and Maurine Tuttle, treasurer. Other activities conducted by the organization this year have been a cake raffle, and a bake sale. The girls lent assistance to the Lion's Club in collecting money for the Halloween Party. The annual banquet given for the mothers of the girls was held in May, and at that time letters were awarded to the sixteen girls having the highest number of points.

Page fifty-eight STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council members elected in Ianuary, 1944, by the student body held these offices until the following Ianuary. There were three representatives from each junior high and high school grade, and while they were members of this student governing body they sponsored several activities. Among these projects were successful War bond and stamp sales, impressive flag raising ceremonies, a Well planned track meet, and aid to the cheer-leaders. The President, Maxine Yarger, assisted by the vice-president, Margaret Panasuk, took charge of the various meetings which were recorded by Iack Straley, secretary. Sponsored by Kroger S tore -- Earl Lash' s Barber Shop All the World's a stage Three Girls and Jeffrey On April 27th, the Senior Class presented Three Girls and Ieffrey. It was a decided hit, which was clearly indicated by the close attention the audience gave. The cast deserved this attention because they progressed through the play with flying colors. The plot centered around the difficulties that came upon bachelor Ieffrey Dunsmore, played by Eldwin Waltenberger, when three teen-age girls-Roselene Wonderly, Lois Smith and Mildred West-descended upon his home. Through their ef- forts, the engagement between Ieffrey and his vicious fiancee CPatsy Clarkl was broken up, and a new romance between him and Alicia CDonna Townel was started. Others in the cast were Gwen Keesberry, Bette Bowsher, Pauline Hicov, Paul Dietz, Ken- neth Zimmerman, Richard Paul Green, and Wayne Timbrook. The other class members co-operated beautifully in taking care of all the preparations that are vital to a successful play. Miss lane Wilsberg was the director. Don't Take My Penny Almost the entire Iunior Class came to the try-outs for the chosen play, Don't Take My Penny, a comedy in three acts by Amy Coulter Martens. As the cast was relatively small only a few could be picked, but the others helped greatly in prepar- ing the stage and selling the tickets. Many tickets were sold, most of them before the night of the big occasion, November 10th, at which time the floor and a large portion of the bleachers were filled. The jitters were calmed somewhat with a performance for the grade school the afternoon of the preceding day. This ice- breaker and the many practices beforehand produced several flaws that were very effectively ironed out by Miss Althaus, whose up-stage foot in advance of the other, became the watch-word of all engaged in the production. The specific parts will be remembered by all who saw the play: therefore only the names of those individuals taking these parts are here listed: Margaret Panasuk, Fred Malott, Carol Campbell, Barbara Blosser, Pete Culler, Bill Easterly, Melba Deardorf, Betty Neidhardt, Frances Kees, David Van Horn, IoAnn Beerbower, Maurine Tuttle, Nellie Sisco, Bill Kuhl, Dick Beree, Max Peter, and Bruce Doub.

However, war situations made this plan impossible this year, and a new system was devised in order to make this publication possible. A new Cspeedographicl camera was purchased by the school. This necessitated the training of our own student photographers. Under the supervision of Mr. Fox the camera club was organized. Bill McCa1la was elected president, and his assistants were Carl Gecowets, Don Culler, Dick Ray and Lois Aten. Although many difficulties have arisen, they have succeeded in taking many of the annual's photographs and in future years will be of even more service to Hixonian staffs. It has been a new experiment but one which will be of much value to the entire community as well as to the school. Sponsored by Charles T. Pierce, Realtor -1 A. H. Warner 6? Son Features . In this school year there have been many outstanding chap- ters about school life. Soon, for seniors, these chapters will be torn out, but in their place will be pleasant memories. We will remember such things as the Senior Carnival, Coronation, and our outstanding seniors. If we shall care to seek the remem- brances of our past school life, We have only to look into this annual, and there We will find what we are looking ior-mem- ories. They will not only be for us, but for each one who opens the pages of this book. We hope that your memories will always be as pleasant as ours.

These drivers have been responsible for getting country children to and from school. The drivers are to be congratulated for their patience in dealing with adverse weather conditions as well as with the children themselves. During March we received two new buses, which, because they were of greater capacity, reduced the num-. ber of drivers. To these men who have carried out their duty so faithfully, we wish to express our appreciation. OUR IANITORS We are proud of the fact that our schools are kept clean and comfortable. This responsibility has fallen upon the shoulders of our janitors, Roger Brown and Roy Bauer. They have taken an interest in our students as well as in the condition of the build- ing. These men are known by every one of the students and are well liked by all of them.

It was instigated so that the children might have hot well-balanced meals at a small cost. The meals are inexpensive and warm, and everything from soup to nuts is served. A great deal of appreciation must be shown to the cooks who have been very faithful, and who are on duty every day. These Women are Mrs. Mae Brush, Mrs. Mary Wolcott, Mrs. Alice Lower, and Mrs. Lottie Snell. They assist Miss Howenstine in supervis- ing the meals, and they also help to plan the menus. Without them, we would have no meals and hence-no cafeteria. Miss 'Howenstine has the assistance of the home economics girls. They serve the meals, carry trays, and take care of the payments. Then too, there are several boys who put up tables and chairs for the students, and they, as Well as the girl assist- ants, receive their meals free of charge. To these students Who sacrifice their time to serve us, we are all very grateful, and we say, Thank you. Sponsored by May Bros.

Frances Beerbower, a student that has worked diligently and been attentive at all times, ranks second and is the salutatorian. Students in this position are greatly admired, because they have gained an achievement that is priceless. Frances has neared the top of her ladder of success, and she has established the habit of good work that will lead her on to success in her future years. His Majesty, the King, none other than Kenneth Zimmerman, has won for himself the honor and the respect of the high school. By a popular vote he was elected as best suited to hold this honor. Kennv's fine personality, wit, and fellowship have won the respect of his fellow classmates. He was elected presi- dent of the Senior Class and proved himself worthy to be made King.

It was the Senior Carnival, full of gaiety and laughter, the place where everyone could have a good time. This school year, as school years before, the pupils voted for the ones to participate in the Coronation. Kenneth Zimmerman was elected King, while Donna Towne reigned beside him as Queen. Composing the royal court were: the most studious, Frank Curry and Frances Beerbower: the most likely to succeed, were Paul Dietz, and Maxine Yarger, while Kenneth White- hurst and Lois Smith were selected as having the best personalities. Richard Green and Betty Cook were chosen most athletic boy and girl respectively, and the wittiest were designated as Fred Billman and Patsy Clark. The crown- ing of the King and Queen, and the presentation of banners were made by Gwen Keesberry. The carnival itself was full of games, sideshows, and many refreshments. At one end of the carnival we saw the bingo game going full strength. Beside it was the refreshment stand where hot dogs, ice cold pop and candy were being devoured. A large crowd gathered around one side show, the boxing ring. Eldwin Waltenberger was in charge of the athletics and really did a fine job, drawing the largest crowds of all. Other games were basketball, pitching pennies and similar recreations. The senior class all had a lot of fun in bringing about the carnival. Our only hope is that you had as much fun as we did. Page sixtyfxevcn Page sixtyfeight Class Prophecy This is Patsy Clark, broadcasting from our new radio station in the city of Luna on the planet, Mars. I came here by rocket ship in 1965. With my futuristic television set I tuned in New York the other evening, and saw and heard Marcielle Goller receiving a gold medal for her tenth year on the air with her same sponsor-the Frank Curry Electric Corporation. We noted the Atlantic Fleet steaming up the Hudson River ,under the command of Admiral Dan Crowl. Hopping the Atlantic Ocean to Paris, we see Lila Lee Headley designing the chic modes of the day. Also we discovered that Richard CNathyl Green's orchestra is playing on the super air liner between Moscow and New York. Helen Kelly is busily engaged as the ship's official hostess. Another twist of the dial and I could see Virginia Kinzer in her office on the fifty-fifth floor of the Kinzer Building in New York. She is the president of the famous five and ten cent store chain. Letha Bainbridge and Roselene Wonderly are trusted executives of the same concern. On the way west in our old home town we saw Mildred West giving piano lessons to future geniuses. The new Community Hospital of Hicksville is under the supervision of Nurse Dorothy Monroe. Entering Fred Billman's Super-Super Market tand I do mean superl, we found Bette Bowsher Happyhom and her six children. Visiting Hicksville High for a series of lectures on the sixteenth dimension was Norval Banks, the noted scientist. The principals of the high school and grade schools of the town are Frances Beerbower and Maxine Yarger, respectively. At the Hicksville World's Fair, Fern Wallace, in front of the grandstand, was making all the announcements. The newly- redecorated Evelyn Carey Dress Shop is doing a booming business in town. Giving the dial a swirl to Dayton, Ohio I found Kenneth Whitehurst in the role of head mechanic of National Airways. Playing R. K. O. Keith's Theater in Dayton were Betty Cook and Catherine Frye, international roller skating champions. Farther west to Chicago we find Lois Smith and Gwen Keesberry acting as traffic directors at the great Chicago airport. Also we heard the Rev. Ken- neth Zimmerman broadcasting his weekly service from Chicago's north side. In the library on Michigan Avenue Vada Bauer is the librarian. The nation's best-dressed man and playboy, the wealthy Norman Miller, was seen with his usual bevy of friends entering the famous Club 19. Ianet Neidhardt and Lucille Funk are chief operators of the Chicago Telephone Exchange. The far western state of Arizona is the scene of Paul Dietz's dude ranch, and the ranch is being successfully operated by the foreman, Wayne Timbrook. Donna Towne is seen making her new picture for the Eldwin Waltenberger Studios in Hollywood. Her guest on the set was her former classmate, Pauline Hicov, the noted writer. Her current book, A Tree Grows in Hicksville, is taking the country by storm. In this fashion I was able to look up the class of '45. Now signing off, I remain your friend Patsy Clark.
