During the Freshman year the.class wasted no time in stepping up the activities of the school. Roger M1ller, Bill Strayer, and Harry Dunlap earned for themselves their Varsity D letters. We were also well represented in the music department. Our Freshman basketball team won the runners-up trophy at the 13th annual Freshman basketball tourney in Lima, Ohio. Our officers for the year were: Bill Strayer, president, Roger Miller, vice-presidentg Corinne Weaver, secretary and treasurer, Evelyn Truesdale, sergeant-at-arms. During the latter part of our Freshman year a class party was held, and was very much enjoyed by all. After our well earned summer vacation we again returned to Jefferson High School-only this time as Sophomores. The elected officers this year were: Margene VanDemark, presidentg Mike Rousos, vice-presidentg Kath- erine Checkles, secretary, Harry Dunlap, treasurerg and Roger Miller, sergeant-at-arms. This year Mike Rousos earned his Varsity D letter in football. The class enjoyed a Halloween Party at the beginning of the school year. By the time the year was over the Sophomore class was well represented in every activity held in the school. After the usual lapse of three months, we resumed our position in school as Juniors-one more step up the ladder. Our able officers were: Leslie Dienstberger, president, Harry Dunlap, vice-president, Corinne Weaver, secretary, Roger Miller, treasurer, Bill Strayer, sergeant-at-arms. The class play, Everybody's Crazy, an uproarious comedy, was one of the highlights of the year. It was directed by Mrs. Floyd Workman and was presented on November 30, 1945. The outstanding social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, which was under the supervision of Miss Beiler and Miss Rogers, was truly a great success. The dance was fashioned around the theme Treasure Island . The program, consisting of Pirate and Gypsy music, fit the theme appropriately. The highlight of the evening was dancing to the music of Carl Young's orchestra. Jack Stevenson, Harry Baxter, Carl Dienstberger, Roger Ridenour, and Leslie Dienstberger earned their Varsity D letters this year. Bill Molter also earned his letter as manager. The class proved its scholastic ability by placing six students in the National Honor Society. These were: Mike Rousos, Jack Stevenson, Grace Mittermaier, Katherine Checkles, Margene VanDemark, and Lois Buettner. This concluded the year's activities and we began looking forward to the next school year as Seniors. As we entered our Senior year, we elected our officers, who were: Harry Baxter, president, Jim Baxter, vice-presidentg Harry Dunlap, sec- retaryg Mike Rousos. treasurer: and Bob Follas, sergeant-at-arms. The boys receiving their Varsity D letters this year were: Jim Baxter, Laverne Hilvers, Bob Follas, Herbert Miller, and Bob Geier. Both the Senior girls and Senior boys won the inter-class basketball tourney in school. This marked the third year our girls won the G.A.A. tourney. Our class play this year was entitled Lavender and Old Lace . It was directed by Mr. Kirchoffer and presented on May 2, 1947. The big event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. Of course, this time it was given to pay tribute to the Class of 1947, which was leaving Jefferson High to seek a place in life. So, with Baccalaureate and Commencement over, we, the Class of '47, are prepared to venture out into the world, each of us seeking his own way and trying to find success in a changing and confused world. Leslie Dienstberger. 24 Iunior Class History The fall of nineteen hundred and forty-four found sixty-three Fresh- men haughtily ascending the steps of dear old Delphos High. You err greatly if you think these pupils were mediocre. They were not. Each in his own respect was outstanding. Some found enjoyment in band and choir, while others delved in sports. During this year the noted Delphos High sextette was formed. It was not to be questioned that undoubtedly the Sophomore year was to prove very successful. A few pupils dropped from the ranks. Again we ventured into an unknown realm when we commenced our campaign for king and queen. Alas, to our disappointment, we were overcome by the opposing senior class. Sports became increasingly popular with the boys and it did not take Coach Koch long to dispose of the varsity letters, for the sophomores were ready to claim their share. Ah! Juniors! How long it has taken us to obtain that worthy goal. Sometimes we wonder if this is all true or only a dream. But memories of our class play, For Pete's Sake, and our class rings on our fingers verify our thoughts. This year our class has been quite active in sports, the National Honor Society, library, clubs, and music. We are not to be outdone for our motto says: Character is the cornerstone of all success. Doris Edds. Sophomore Class History In the fall of 1945 a bewildered crowd of boys and girls stepped across the threshold of Jefferson High to become a part of it-so much a part of it that it is now their second home. Yes, we are the crowd-the class of '49. It was not long until we found our footing on the bottom rung-with the seniors ruling the roostg but we were an ambitious group, determined to make the next four years the best years of our lives. The able officers of our freshman year were Charlotte Brenneman, presidentg Ruth Mox, vice-presidentg June Metcalfe, secretary, and Mary Lou McKee, treasurer. Our class was well represented in all organizations, athletics, band, and the honor roll. After the annual summer vacation the class of '49 came back to dear old Jefferson, a much more subdued, refined, and dignified group, known as sophomores. Officers elected were: president, Edgar Bonhamg vice- president, John Hittleg secretary-treasurer, Alice Limbrechtg and sergeant- at-arms, Jim Moreo. A class party was held April 15 and much enjoyed by all. The sophomore class is quite well represented in band and A Cappella Choir. Many of the boys participated in athletics. Edgar Bonham was presented the Varsity D, and several boys received numerals in football. Awards were also given in basketball and baseball. Many of the girls were active in G.A.A. and Y-teens, and four are librarians. One of the outstanding events of this year was the Carnival. The sophomore class chose Emogene Barnes and John Hittle as candidates for king and queen. The first two years of our high school career are over and we are looking forward with great pleasure to two more happy years.

FOOTBALL Coaches: Jack Koch Joseph Hurley Managers: William Molter Malcolm Johnson Herbert Miller absent Columbus Grove The Wildcats lived up to th ' I e1r name and started the season off with a bang by de- feating Columbus Grove 26 to 0. The Grove boys could not match the play of the Wild- cats who fought hard all the way. Spencerville With Spencerville playing football for the first time in their history, the Wildcats chalked up another victory, this time by a decisive 39 to 7 score. Scoring almost at will the Wildcats ran up a 39 to 0 lead. Then late in the fourth quarter, the Sophomores and Freshmen were given a chance to show their stuff. Spencerville then scored, but only in the last minute of play. Forest Hoping to make it three straight, the Wildcats journeyed to Forest for an afternoon game, but found they fought best at night after coming out on the short end of a 26 to 13 score. The Wildcats had trouble getting started but finally scored twice in the last five minutes. St. Rose Jefferson again took to the road to play Lima St. Rose at the Lima stadium. The Wildcats were hoping to shake off a jinx by which St. Rose had defeated us for the last three years. The game started with Callahan running 75 yards on the second play of the game to score the first touchdown, but the Wildcats showed that they had plenty of fight by scoring on the next kickoff. After this our boys just couldn't make their plays work, and we were defeated 31 to 14. Ada After two straight defeats the Wildcats showed their Hght and rebounded with a '76 to 0 triumph over Ada From start to finish th . . e Wildcats were a dete1'mined team that just couldn't be stopped. Elida Playing the undefeated Bulldogs, Delphos had their chance to take first in the league but were stunned with a crushing 47 to 0 defeat. The Wildcats just couldn't click and thus suffered their worst defeat of the season. The feature of the game was Riegel's 97 yard run from scrimmage. 36 Shawnee The Wildcats again bounced back and scored an up-set over Shawnee. A one touch- down favorite, the Indians just couldn't stop our powerful running attack and we were victorious 34 to 13. Paulding On the road again, the Wildcats journeyed to Paulding to try to add another one to their string of victories. Paulding scored a touchdown in the first quarter and after that it was just a see-saw game played in a sea of mud and water. Finally with only three minutes left to play. Stevenson, right guard, intercepted and went 73 yards to tie the game. Then Dunlap, with the help of his educated toe , booted the perfect places ment-which won the game 7 to 6. Pandora The Wildcats closed their 19-16 season with a decisive 31 to 0 victory over Pandora. The Wildcats played a good brand of ball and really clicked like a tough fighting ma- chine. 13 seniors played their last game for the Red and White. -ith Row: Coach .Iue Hurley, Bob Baxter, Albert Butler, Gene Best, Dick Dray, Kenny Bryan, Richard Wagner, Gene Miller, Bob McDonald, Lawrence Curtis, Bill Paul, Edwin Lindeman 3rd Row: Don Ditto, Eugene Bryan, Ramon Vasquez, Dick Baxter, Edgar Bonham, Donald Follas, Marion Jetiinghofif John Hittle, Lazaro Vasquez, Milton Hoover, Jim Bilimek.

Beetles Senior Girls' Team Champions for three years. 40 r Girls' Athletics Softball, volleyball, basketball and ping pong furnished the activities for the girls in the greater portion of the Physical Education classes this year. Calesthenics and dancing will complete the gym activities for the second semester. The first sport of the year was softball, played under the direction of June Ladd. Because of bad weather it was necessary to postpone the tournament until spring. For the second activity, G.A.A. volleyball teams were organized by Joan Kuhn, to compete against one another. The victorious team was made up of the following members: Joyce Crede, Beverly Mericle, Waanataa Fox, Marguerite Burgess, Avenelle Paul, Grace Violet, Marilyn Strayer and Elizabeth Jones. Subs were Jola Craig, Norma Kramer, Mary Lena Mullen, Mary.Gudakunst, Jeannette Culp, Martina Mittermaier, and Sue Maxson. The basketball season was the longest. Jerry Myers arranged a ten- game series and a tournament involving five teams: Senior Beetles , Junior Bugs , Sophomore Babes , Soph SSS , and the Freshman Polar Cubs . The games between the Beetles and the Polar Cubs were the most exciting, as these two teams were closely matched. The outcome of the games was uncertain until the final whistle was blown. In the tournament play-off the results were as follows: Soph usssn----N Z x.:XYXXN ........Soph SSS 13 soph Babes ...... ....... 3 l Seniors Senior Beetles .......... 28 Senior Beetles 35 I Frosh Polar Cubs .... 24 c- Se-niors 38 Junior Bugs .... 13 l High scorers on the various teams were: Seniors, Margene VanDe- markg Juniors, Chloris Theobaldg Soph SSS , Mary Lou McKee, Soph Babes , Colleen Ford g and the Freshmen, Joyce Crede. A highlight of the basketball season was the Senior-Alumni game. The Seniors again came through with a definite 27-11 win. Coach Koch was referee. On March 4, the G.A.A. under the captaincy of Helen Himmeger, started bowling. This took place on Tuesday nights for five sessions. Each girl had to bowl at least three 2-game sessions out of the five to get her point. Of the thirty girls who played, twenty-one won their point. It is hoped that an even greater number will sign up next year. At the time this article went to press, the ping-pong tournament under Bea Benson's management was in progress. Thirty girls were taking part in this activity. The remaining portion of the G.A.A. athletic program for the year includes the finish of the softball tournament and hikes to be arranged by Joanne Miller. 41 Senior Cczgers Roger Miller.

In addition to supervising the annual King and Queen event of the Carnival, the association has given dances and participated in other activities. The Honor Society has also been instru- mental in helping other schools and their students organize chapters of their own. 48 Society of Books With the aid of the librarians, students of Delphos Jefferson High School have found, and will continue to find, the Welch Memorial Library very helpful. New books, containing essential information about our changing world. are accessioned to the library each year. Books for reading pleasure also await your use. The Society of Books will continue to play an important part in the high school for years to come. The officers for the year are as follows: President ............. .......

On Sept. 7, the band members enjoyed a trip to the Van Wert County Fair, where they offered some stirring music. No matter what type of weather during football season, the very dependable Jefferson band was always there supporting our team with music and yells. The marching band certainly deserves recognition in helping to make this year's football record a top-notcher. The half-time performance put on by the band is always one of the evening's highlights. Contest time always means excitement to all band members. With Bluffton as the scene of this contest, the Jefferson Band made a fine showing amidst stiff competition. On May 11, the marching band donned their new uniforms and con- tributed to the Mother's Day celebration. The band members are very proud of their new uniforms, which arrived early in February. The suits are the very latest style. There are two pairs of trousers to be worn with bright red coatsg red trousers are to be worn during the marching season and white ones during concert time. Members of the band will be ever grateful to the Band Mothers Organization for their unceasing efforts to secure the new uniforms. Early in the spring the band presented their annual concert.

G. A. A. About thirteen years ago the G.A.A. was organized to provide athletics for all the girls interested. The association has grown steadily and now has sixty-six members. The first cabinet meeting of the year was held September 16, at which time plans for the initiation of the new members were made. After three days of initiation, they all hiked to the stadium for a wiener roast. That night they chose their big sisters . The main event of the year was the annual football banquet. The gymnasium was decorated in the school colors, red and white, using the motif of football paraphernalia-footballs, players' shoes, helmets, goal posts and dummies of the players. The guest speaker of the evening was Coach Pope from Lima Central, who spoke on the true value of athletics in the training program of the college student. Movies of some of the Wittenberg games and group singing brought the evening to a close. It has become a custom for the G.A.A. to place a Christmas tree in the hall during the holiday season. In keeping with this tradition a large tree was decorated to spread the Christmas spirit through the school. The G.A.A. members were on hand all during the football and basket- ball seasons selling refreshments to the spectators. In February after a potluck supper, referees were chosen for the intra- mural basketball games. They were Paul Hiegel, Cody Nichols and Roger Miller. A cabinet meeting was called to set up a more definite method of giving team credits. The game schedule established for earning points is: 2 out of 3 for ping pongg 6 out of 10 for bowling: 10 of volleyball and 5 of basketball. The group then decided that to retain membership in the club, each girl must participate in at least three sports a year: 2 from Group I lbasketball, softball and volleyballlg and 1 from Group II fping pong, bowling and hikingj. A girl is entitled to her letter upon earning her twelve credits K9 team credits and 3 individual creditsj. 55 tl11N'lV.'l'. Grave Mittvrnmaier, .leamwtto Allcmeir.

The annual Y-Teen Dance was held on Friday, April 11, in the Jefferson Auditorium. The Vineyard, chosen as the theme of the dance, was attractively portrayed with balloons and crepe paper streamers of green, purple and silver. Tony's Orchestra provided melodious rhythms and the iioor show was amusing to all. The dance, because of the cooperation of the members, was a big success. Christmas card sales, which provided the members with an oppor- tunity of obtaining points necessary to earn a letter, were a great success this year. October 2 .....,...... November 7 ..,......
