THE HIXONIAN PRESENTS LIFE AS IT WAS 1952-1953 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS HICKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Hicksville, Ohio QooJ Old J4ich cdville Jlicfh! Hicksville High School is only an ordinary American High School to most people, but it means much more to its students. For the past years it has been preparing us for the future—how to meet the many problems that will arise. 2 ii We Wet Ofd Oriendi and Chained flew On es v is Pwlp lap . 4 SHI - y W| l imsm � ■■ Ol . ” ' ■ • v i vj mjM We all have a Challenge to meet and overcome. Maybe it is getting a book report in on time or making your block in football. It could be any of a number of different things. Our primary Challenge now is to get all we can from school. We have afforded us a great op¬ portunity and we should make the best of it. In later life our Challenge is much the same. Efficiency is a prime factor. No matter what our endeavor we cannot be happy until we have met and overcome the Challenge. These are great obstacles but if we work together and work hard we can be successful. 3 CONTENTS ions ADMINISTRATION CLASSES FACULTY GRADES ACTIVITIES SPORTS ALUMNI ADVERTISING 6 7-20 21-24 25-30 31-42 43-57 58-64 65-79 cut lencje in athletics, in musical and scholastic contests, of new horizons . . .

Classes ran from 9:00 to 4:00, Monday through Friday, and there were experiments and problems in civics to be dealt with, so we went to school.

Rader, Dr. Raymond Hofmeister—President, Dr. George Hanna. To the members of the Board of Education go our gratitude for making Hicksville High School a successful organization of which we are proud to be a part. Mrs. Carole McDonald, a former graduate of Hicksville High School, worked in the school of¬ fice for two years. She always greeted everyone with a smile and has been a friend to everyone. Mrs. Thiel who replaced Carole at the end of the first semester is very capably carrying out the office duties. Our superintendent Mr. Rader received his A. B. degree at Ashland College and his M. Ed at Duke Uni¬ versity. Mr. Rader who capably handles many various duties has found a place in our hearts for his kind co¬ operation and advice he has given to many. Mr. Ringer, who for the past five years has been principal of our high school, received his B. S. degree from Bowling Green and his M. A. degree from Ohio State University. Besides his official duties he also finds time to teach Civics, where through Mr. Ringer ' s un¬ tiring efforts and patience, we are taught to think for ourselves and are prepared to take our places as the citizens of tomorrow. 6 C it izen.s of J, omorroiv THE HESITATION STEP, tassels swinging from square mortar-boards, the movement of long robes and the sound of triumphant march music told us our high school days were soon to be over. This was the point where four years of continued work and study were soon to reach their aoal. Soon congratulations and farewells would be in order. im f J Je Jocjether 3n th fet ICS RUTH ADAMS RUTHIE “To know her is to love her, so the saying goes— She ' s sweeter than honey from head to toes.

In the fall of 1947 we entered the new routine as a class of 43 members. The first two years slipped by quickly and we soon began our careers as green freshmen. In our freshmen year we started building up our treasury by selling Easter Lilies for the Poiio Fund. Then we advanced to sophomores when we entered the social whirl with The Black Cat Dance. That spring we made a big decision when we ordered our class rings. In 1951 we began our junior year with a new feeling of responsibility for we were now upperclassmen. With the excitement of our Junior year came the receiving of our class rings and the publishing of the Spoondrift. That fall we presented the play, Battle for Bill, under the guiding hand of Miss Henry. In the spring we began working on our Junior Show. As a result of co-operation and hours of work, our show was a great success, in fact, we were invited to Fort Wayne by the V.F.W. to give the show at the Veterans ' Hospital. Finally we began planning and decorating for the Junior-Senior Prom. After working day and night, we completed the project with the theme Harbor Lights. Among the many accomplishments of our Junior year was the choosing of our class motto, Fordward Ever, Backward Never, our class colors, Royal Blue and Gray, and our class flower, a red carnation. Now we are Seniors and have come to the last steps of our history here at H. H. S. We have chosen Donald Brown as President, Jim Irey as Vice- President, Marilyn Poth as Secretary, and Lois Tustison as Treasurer, to lead us through our final year. We all enjoyed working together on football and bas¬ ketball concessions to help raise money for our trip to Washington. We had fun practicing for the Senior class play and the Coronation will always remain a pleasant memory. Many of us will never forget those hectic days meeting our Hixonian deadline. As a final gala occasion we were honored at the Junior- Senior Prom which was the highlight of the year. Marilyn Poth, TREASURER Lois Anne Tustison. We took our last steps here at H. H. S. with Baccalaureate and Com¬ mencement when we said good-bye to our Alma Mater. We will always keep these pleasant memories of challenge and achievement in our hearts. Graduating with top honors is Elizabeth Benninghoff, our Valedictorian. Elizabeth not only has led her class in studies but has also been a leader in extra-curricular activities. In her Junior year she was editor of the Spoondrift and was chosen representative to Girls ' State. During her Senior year Elizabeth was editor of the Hixonian, and president of the Student Council besides being a member of the Latin Club and of the band where she played a clarinet. Elizabeth hopes to continue her education at Lutheran Hospital where she intends to study nursing. The class of 1953 also wishes to present their Co-Salutatorians, Barbara Lenhart and Wilbur Wright. These two members of the Senior Class have followed Elizabeth in scholas¬ tic ability and participation in activities. They have attained their honors through outstand¬ ing ability and hard work. We sincerely hope that their success may continue after gradua¬ tion 13 Left to Right—-CO-SALUTATORIANS Barbara Lenhart and Wilbur Wright, VALEDICTORIAN Elizabeth Benninghoff. Happy!! Pais Be-Bop!!

JUNIOR HISTORY There were thirty-eight of us last fall when we returned to the old routine of classes and the new excitement of being Juniors. As upperclassmen, we felt that at last we had become somewhat important in our school. The first few days were devoted to adjusting ourselves to new schedules and becoming acquainted with new students and new faculty members. Our advisors were Mr. Kaduk, Mr. Agne, and Miss Henry. As Juniors our spirits ran high with the receiving of our class rings. We also enjoyed publishing the nine big issues of the Spoondrift under the direction of Miss Henry and Mrs. Culler. The first social event of the year was a well-planned class party. Our Junior play, Professor How Could You, consumed our interests and best efforts for weeks. We spent hours in rehearsal for the spectacular musi¬ cal hit, The Junior Show. The crowning achievement of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. We ' ll be back next year as the Seniors of H. H. S. for nine months of fun, achievement and, perhaps, a bit of study. 5 h LUXS onvv I? m Cu i! e n ' Presld e nt -.R‘ char d Amaden, Phyllis Applegate, I eta Bainbridge, Anneita Baldwin, Robert Beams ROW 3—La Q rrv y Den HnrV IC pn P e n dent ' th Y r U ' ff ' arl u Treasjrer ' Lela Beree - Vonita Blalock, Janis Boger, Jim Brown, Jerry Burley onw a b Y De ° r dor f p at Driver, Ted Durre, Elwood Emenhiser, Raymond Folk, Donald Fry, Sandra Furney Phyllis Haver Y Y ‘ ROW s_R| V ° nne , H eadley, Lowell Husted Rex Hurm, Ervin Kallsen, Pauline Katona, Martha Kelley, Richard Kelley Gerald Kuhn ROW l Annn 6 Mnr-o l ? i 7 netta Lmder - David Mastin, Lois Myers, Clayton Middaugh, Robert Onstott, Edward Pe ry, Diana Rhoades ROW 6 Anna Mane Schlosser, Lois Schooley, Shirley Schooley, Harold Smith, Shirley Tustison, Vance Walters, Irene Wonderly SOPHOMORE HISTORY We have now completed a busy year and are looking forward to two more years that will be busier yet. At the first of the year we had a class party in the gym, and later as our sophomore year came to an end, we enjoyed an outdoor party. We sponsored noon movies and also had a few noon dances which gave everyone some fun. You would always find us busy before each game printing programs which helped the basketball fans to spot the players quickiy. We had lots of fun doing this and it was a good money-making project.

Thanks to Miss Howenstine for her fine supervision of the cafeteria. Many thanks go to the cafeteria boys and girls for their faithful service. Many hands make light work. The cafeteria wouldn ' t be possible without you. The efforts of our janitors may seem unappreciated, but if they were to leave for just a day everyone would miss them. To Roy Bauer and Alvin Beardsley go our hearty con¬ gratulations for a job well done. Our bus drivers Charles Meyers, Wayne Kelly, Kenneth Countryman, Lynn Hurni and Allen Poper have done an excellent job this year. We know they appreciate the two new buses.

They have worked diligently to get their assignments in on time and, as a result, they had a good paper. The paper promotes better understanding between the student body and the faculty. It also arouses interest in all school activities. Those outside the school can keep informed of all events. Miss Henry and Mrs. Culler supervise the staff efforts in publishing the Spoondrift.

For his bass vocal solo, ASLEEP IN THE DEEP , Walter Crowl was rated 1. A baritone solo, THE BOHEMIAN GIRL , played by Robert Van Horn re¬ ceived a rating of 2. The following Saturday, March 14, the band made a short trip, for once, to BRYAN for the District Contest. On March 27, twenty-four band members participated in the Annual Defiance County Music Festival, which was held at the Defiance High School Auditorium.

The marching band of H. H. S. opened another year by getting sec¬ ond place at the Defiance County Fair Contest. They also participated in the hospital drive, Halloween parade, Christmas parade, and the parade contest at Auburn, Indiana. Then, of course, there were those snappy half-time shows at the foot¬ ball games. The band of fifty mem¬ bers would come on the field in a spread formation and then go into some entertaining formations. This was not as easy as it looks—much practice was required. The band members all enjoyed their trip to Bowling Green to hear the United States Marine Band. A good band should always have good majorettes. Here, H. H. S. is very lucky in having Martha Kelly as our Drum Majorette and Shirley Moore, Irene Wonderly, Shirley Savage, and Wanda Jenkins as our majorettes. This has been Martha Kelly ' s first year as Drum Majorette and she has capably filled this position. Shirley Moore, and Irene Wonderly have been ma¬ jorettes for two years, while this is the first year for Wanda Jenkins and Shirley Savage.

Our officers were: Lucretia Hos¬ tetler—President, Mary Kees— Vice-President, Marilyn Kennedy—• Secretary, and Marilyn Poth— Treasurer. The purpose of this organiza¬ tion is to provide an opportunity for all interested to participate in athletics, to assist them in de¬ veloping better health, to develop better sportsmanship, fair play, and co-operafion. Our main activity was playing basketball with teams from other schools. Other activities were dancing, kickball, volley ball, deck tennis, skating, tumbling, hiking, and a bake sale. Awards were given at the an¬ nual spring banquet which was held for the mothers as well as for the members. These awards were won on a basis of points acquired by attending and parti¬ cipating in the activities during the meetings and in extra activi- The annual Senior Coronation was held Friday, February 28, in the High School Auditorium. Mary Jane Smith and Brooke Tuttle reigned as our king and queen. Preceding the coronation everyone enjoyed the 1953 Hit Parade of tunes which enacted The Story of Young Love. Bob Van Horn as Master of Ceremonies introduced great stars such as Mario ' Bob Chapman ' Lanzo who sang to his lady fair, David Evans. Also present was the well-known hair-pulling, tear-coaxing Johnny ' Sandy ' Ray. Many other famous celebrities also took the spotlight.

Only four lettermen were on hand to represent the team ' s previous experiences. These were Paul Slattery, Jim Irey, Brooke Tuttle, and Bud Amaden. With many positions open, the fellows went right to work to build a football machine. Constant improvement was observed as the season pro¬ gressed. In every case that they could match their opponent ' s individual experience it resulted in victory. Our only re¬ gret was that this situation presented itself but twice during the season. In the first game of the season, Swanton ' s Class A grid- ders with a completely experienced ball club outclassed our young team by the score of 65-0 on our home field. They started with a bang and never were stopped. On September 19 the Hicksville Aces journeyed to Del- phos Jefferson and lost by the score of 26-6. The Aces outplayed the Jefferson team but could not seem to score after they got inside the ten yard marker. Kenny Thiel had the honor of scoring the Ace ' s first touchdown. September 26 Edon ' s gridders, who are again taking up football, came here for the annual homecoming game. The Aces seemed to have what it took as they chalked up their first victory 33-13. The Edon team threw a scare into our boys, though, by scoring the first two touchdowns. One of these touchdowns was on a 98-yard run. October 3 the Aces traveled to Paulding and drubbed the Panthers by the score of 44-13. The Aces were superior in every department, scoring seven touchdowns. Bud Amaden was the star of the game passing for five touchdowns and scoring two. This evened Hicksville ' s record at two wins and two losses. i October 10 Hicksville went to Rockford to play the big, rugged Tigers. The Aces played very good ball the first half, the score being 7-0, but in the second half the Tigers ran away with the game. The final score was 40-0. Many injuries hurt us. October 17 New Haven ' s Bulldogs with a superior team came here and defeated the Aces 46-14. The Bulldogs had a big line and a fast backfield. The Aces were handicapped by the loss of a couple boys with injuries although their replacements played well. October 23 the Hicksville Aces played at Leipsic against a tough team. Hicksville ' s passing attack which usually kept them in the game was weak and because of this, the Aces were not able to get going. The final score was 31-12. October 31 the Aces again took to the road to play North Baltimore in our last football game of the 1952 season. The Aces could not stop a fast little back and were beaten 61-13. The Aces thus ended their season with two wins and six losses. Seniors who played their last game were Jim Irey, Brooke Tuttle, George Rosendaul, Paul Slattery, Dave Evans, Wilbur Wright, and Bob Van Horn. Action Speaks Louder Than Words GROVER GRANNY BLALOCK—Put forth his all to make the plays go. A determined hard-hitting lineman. MAX KEMERER—Learned the game fast and always played it hard. Our only scoring guard—Called back— Clipping! DAVE GUNNER EVANS—Enjoyed throwing his weight around on defense by being one of the team ' s hardest tacklers. BROOKE TUTTLE—Could stretch away up there to pull in those ground gaining passes. JOHN BULL KELLER—Had an important job to do and did it well in the center of our line. RICHARD BUD AMADEN—Opponents feared his ac¬ curate passing and deceptive running. GEORGE ROSENDAUL—Stretched out to make our for¬ ward wall tougher to penetrate. RAY FOLK—Our south paw end that showed terrific advancement and unlimited capabilities. CLAIR SQUIRT SLATTERY—The hardest hitting full¬ back we saw all season. Pound for pound he could match any of them. JIM GRAMPS BROWN—Handicapped by early in¬ juries, but returned to play some outstanding football. JIM BEANO IREY—Dared any ball carrier to pass his way. He loved the game rough. PAUL SLATS SLATTERY—A great competitor 48 minutes a game. Any coach anywhere would welcome him on their team. LARRY PRESTON—-Converted from a guard to a tackle, and filled his new position with much determination. KENNY THIEL—Will long be remembered for his smashing blocks and—his chuckles afterwards. DAVE TURK DEMUTH—Proved himself a very cap¬ able defensive player with his hard head-on tackling. Our Coaches this year for football were Mr. Kaduk and Mr. Rex. This was Mr. Kaduk ' s first year as head coach and Mr. Rex ' s first year as coach. We need not tell you these men know their football well and were always the easiest to get along with. They were always there when a question arose. I ' m sure they gained the complete faith of all the boys and that of the student body. The football fans welcomed two new faces among the cheerleaders this year—Lloyd Countryman and Duan Roth. They helped considerably with those snappy yells at the games. Mary Kees, Mary Jane Smith, Judy Adcock, and Bonnie Shuherk, who have led the yells for the past two years, did a very commendable job and were always leading the Aces on.

When the call for Junior High football players went out, about twenty-five future gridiron greats reported with much enthusiasm, eager to learn the fundamentals of the game. As the weeks rolled on and the body contact increased with tack¬ ling, blocking, and scrimmage, a few dropped by the wayside and a bro¬ ken arm sidelined another until at the end only twenty-one players re¬ mained. Two games were played a- gainst Paulding and although both ended in defeats, valuable experience was qained for the future stars of H. H. S.

Ken has some basketball sense too, and came through for us when the chips were down. GALEN SMITH: The human kangaroo, that ' s Galen, a fine rebounder. With more practice and confidence, he should do us a fine job next year. PAUL LANTZ: Paul likes to press on defense. He has the knack it takes and maybe next year, we may have a secret weapon . JIM BROWN: When Gramps gets a little meat on his bones so he can make his presence felt, he is going to be a mighty tough boy to stop. We expect great things from him. JIM IREY: Beano the jump shooter deluxe, did a fine job for us in rebounding and scoring. Beano really gets around for such a big man. He will be greatly missed. PAUL SLATTERY: Paul is a sharpshooter, good passer, fine ball handler and he moves well. But above these stands his competitive spirit, which will be difficult to re¬ place n ext year. CLAIR SLATTERY: This fellow may be able to supply some of that competitive spirit that will depart with his brother. Squirt is a fine passer and if he gets the knack of hitting the bucket he will be a great scorer too. BROOKE TUTTLE: Many wonder how we will fill in next year for Brooke ' s rebounding. His ability to get position on his man is something we certainly hope he passes on to Brown and Smith. ROBERT REX: Coach Rex is one of the new faces to brighten the faculty this year. He took the three returning varsity men and the ambitious underclassmen and welded them into the winning Aces. In classroom and gym he won the respect of the students and fans alike. RALPH TIMBROOK: Fingers is the kind of guy who when people see him during a warm up, wonder what he is doing on a basketball floor. After the first tip-off they soon find out why he is there. BUD AMADEN: Bud is the type of fellow people call a natural . His ball handling is sensational, shooting good, and defense improving all the time. Great things are ex¬ pected of Bud. Who are the girls who deserve the credit for the spirit and enthusiasm they aroused during the basketball and football season? Who else but the four girls in red—Mary Jane Smith, Mary Kees, Judy Adcock, and Bonnie Shuherk. They not only introduced many new yells, but are to be com¬ plimented for their wonderful co¬ ordination. The student managers, Eugene (Spit) Katona and Grover (Granny) Blalock did a great job, but got little praise for it. Few people realized the full extent of their duties. Hats off to those who do their task well! 51 The Hicksville Aces, as usual, were faced with a tough season ' s schedule, and came through with a record of 17 games won and 2 lost. i After a week and a half of practice, the Aces journeyed to St. Joe to play their first game. It was close all the way until St. Joe got an 1 1 point lead. With only minutes to go the Aces poured in 13 points to win the game by a score of 67 to 65. i On November 25 our team played Farmer here and Farmer gave us a good game for awhile, but the Aces were too much for them so we won 63 to 49. December 2 brought them face to face with the Antwerp Archers. They gave the Aces a hectic time in the last quar¬ ter but the Aces outplayed them again and won by 13 points, 68 to 55. December 5 the Aces played host to a fine Edgerton team, with the home team setting a good pace. The second half was about the best with the Aces topping the Bulldogs 1 1 points, 67 to 55. December 9 found Sherwood here to play the Aces, the Rangers played hard but the Aces won this game by 10 points, 63 to 53. December 12 brought the Woodburn Warriors here with their three tall boys. Although they had the advantage of height, the Aces outplayed their rivals to the tune of 19 points for a final score, 66 to 47. December 16 the Aces played the Leo Lions at New Haven. It was the best game the Aces played all year with everyone hitting well. It was a hard fought game all the way and the Aces came out on top 88 to 74. December 19 the Aces stayed at home to play the Alumni who gave them a rough time but first-rate condition brought them out on top, 51 to 41. d January 6, the first game after Christmas, the Aces played Paulding Panthers who were swamped by a score of 70 to 47. January 10 the Aces ventured to New Haven again to play the Harlan Hawks. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way, but the Hawks weren ' t enough to keep us from winning 49 to 46. January 13 brought the mighty Montpelier Locomotives to Hicksville. The Aces won 51 to 48 and it was a thrilling game. January 17 found the Aces down at Ayersville. The ex¬ ceptionally hot Pilots poured them in from every direction and led at the half 26 to 23. The second half was a replica of the first half and the final gun favored Ayers¬ ville 63 to 46. The weather was bad. January 20 Mark Center invaded the Hicksville gym and thought they would walk away with an easy win, but the Aces came back from the Ayersville game to surprise the Eagles by a score of 58 to 47. January 23 brought the tall Edon five versus the Aces. The Aces came through to win an easy victory 73 to 5 1. January 27 the Aces played host to Antwerp again. We gave them a thriller the first half but they dropped away the second half. The Aces won by 19 points 80 to 61. January 31 took the Aces to Farmer. They shot from way out and piled up a score. With our hot shooting and skilled rebounding the Aces won 85 to 59. February 3 brought the Edgerton Bulldogs back to face the Aces in a very hot first half. But the Bulldogs cooled off the second half and the Aces won by 18 points, 81-63. February 10, took our Aces to Celina for the tournament. Our opposing team was Coldwater. Although some team members weren ' t hitting, it still was a good game, but to the disappointment of many Coldwater won 38-35. 52 1. Who ' s got it? 2. Jump ball. 3. Out jumped. 4.

(j h fin cj IceA oj om or row Although they were lack¬ ing in experience and height in nearly every contest this year, the Reserves closed their season with a very favorable record. Their compensation for height was an unflagging scrappi¬ ness on defense and offense. It should be encouraging to H. H. S. to know that these boys will be found on the varsities of the future. The sportsmanship dis¬ played by the Reserves this year is worthy of mention. Too often good sportsman¬ ship passes by without com¬ ment when really it is the most important part of the game. We will be looking for¬ ward with the anticipation of seeing some of these boys among the varsity next year. Row 1—Bob Onstott, Harold Smith, Raymond Folk, Tom Culler, Roger Kellogg, Earl Crall, Clayton Mid- daugh, Errol Houk. Row 2—Jack Rader, Darrel Brown, Eddie Perry, Larry Tomlinson, Francis Miller, Rex Hurni, Jerry Burley. Our Reserve manager this year was Robert Hurni. There are few jobs that require so much time and effort and receive so little recognition. He was the only Reserve manager and we believe he deserves a big hand. 54 £ xpenence id the $edt Jeacli er Under the supervision of Coach Kaduk the Junior High did a good job. Although winning and losing six they showed good sportsmanship which is just as import¬ ant as winning all of their games. We can see in these boys the reflection of H. H. S ' s. athletic future as this team progresses through H. H. S. Hicksville can be assured of a fast and smart bas¬ ketball team in years to come. r ow i—Jim Miller, Sheldon Levy, Max Kemerer, Lynn Cleland, Richard Rowan, James Wonderly, Robert Hathaway, Tom Bailey, Larry Haver, John Hootman, Robert Keller, Mr. Kaduk. r ow 2 —Bernard Gecowetts, Robert Murphy, George Nolte, John Fogle, Phil Griffith, Lor¬ en Smith, Frank Hostetler, Nordman Woodruff, Linus Slattery, Raymond Brush, Larry Rex. The Junior High Team has been cheered on to victory by its spirited cheerleaders, Nancy Hurley, Rosalie Linder, JoAnn Beverly, and Janet Hurley. These girls have had some snappy yells and were always there to support the boys when they needed it most. Small but mighty! The Mid- g e t Basketball Team has fought very hard this year and we know that they will do well in years to come. They won one and lost one under the super vision of Coach Wahl.
