In the summer of 1958, an architectural company was selected by the board to begin work im- mediately after the passage of the school bond levy. In September, the board set up the School Board and Levy Committee to publicize the facts covering the new school to the public for the Bond 's passage in the elections. In January of 1959, representatives from the architectural company sent plans for the construction to the school board for its approval. Surveyors have also informed the board that their work should be finished within a few months. The school board is also working on the issuance of the bonds authorized to be sold in the election.

Oberlin College 19 Y l LEARNING L I 1, 59 HQ Q E IOR In the fall of 1953, our class of over one-hundred, the largest ever to enter Oberlin High, registered for the seventh grade. This year started us toward six years of hard work and, of course, fond memories. After two years of required courses, we entered ninth grade, our first year in high school, with the opportunity to select certain courses. Our main objective was to establish a good record started, and, therefore, we held few class activities. However, we were able to get a class treasury started, for we realized the need of class funds in later years. With the coming of our sophomore year, we were more familiar with the school and, as a result, were able to carry out several class activities, one being a sophomore class party which was very successful. Our academic program was becoming more selective as we started aiming towards major and minor subject areas. Upon entering the third year of high school, we started thinking of our post-high school activities. Some thought of college, others of a variety of directions to take, but regardless of which, we began to realize seriously the extreme importance of our high school education. We also had more immediate problems to cope with, one being the Junior-Senior Prom. We still had a considerable amount of money to raise. With a bake sale and a very successful car wash, we were able to raise the necessary funds. We ushered at the commencement exercises of the seniors, and our thoughts turned, once more, to the one year remaining. As seniors, we began the conclusion of our high school career. College admission was foremost in many minds. As spring came, pressure increased. Arrangements for the senior banquet, Commencement, and Baccalaureate had to be made. Final plans for the future were being concluded. We looked forward to June 3 with mixed emotions. We had a successful high school career. The competition in all areas was rough, and the work was difficult. We enjoyed the four years and are appreciative of all benefits which we received. However, everyone was looking forward to next year with great anticipation. BACK ROW, Left to Right: Bonnie Kirk, social chairman, Ted Schettler, president, Rima Sandbank, secretary- treasurer.

The competition is especially great with a small graduating class. Therefore, the averages of these students based on four years of high school, are very outstanding. Mr. Charles Douglass was our class advisor for both our junior and senior years. In our junior year he was able to give us much advice on class activities such as money- raising projects for our Junior-Senior Prom, and, of course, the dance itself. As our senior class ad- visor, he worked very closely with our officers, The plans for the senior banquet, Commencement announcements, Com- mencement, and Bac- calaureate needed faculty advice, and Mr. Douglass contributed many original ideas.

CLASS OFFICER These pages are sponsored by: IVES REXALL DRUGSTORE OBERLIN LAUNDRATERIA AMERICAN GREETINC CORPORATION PETTIFORD'S BAKERY .lUNIORS Many consider the eleventh year of high school the most important one of all, for the juniors have the responsibility of sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom in honor of the senior class. Mr. Walters, the class' capable advisor, guided them through the problems that come up when working for a prom. At elections Bob Oliphant became jun- ior class president. The other executive posts were filled by Jay Thompson, vice-president, Christine Hecock, secretary, Judy Rogers, treasurer, and Gary Cowling and Ann Wiggins, social chairmen. This energetic class had earned most of the necessary funds to sponsor the formal dance during their sophomore year. To raise money this year they held a bake sale and sold refreshments during all the home basketball games. In addition, they received all proceeds from the ice cream machine. Thus it was not necessary for the jun- iors to pay class dues. 50 BACK ROW- -Dick Deuble, Rick Graff, Art Holbrook. FRONT ROW: Karen Wilgor, Bonnie Bruce.

Their advisor, Mr. Fairchild, helped them get started by calling a class meeting early in the year at which class officers were elected. Rick Graff was elected presi- dent. Other offices were held by Charles Bedell, vice-president, Karen Wilgor, secretary, Art Holbrook, treas- urer, and Dick Deuble and Bonnie Bruce, social chairmen. To earn money for the following year's big dance, the class voted that each member of the class would pay dues of two dollars. The sophomores also held a very successful bake sale. However, their largest money-making activity was three after-game sock hops. With such a good start, the sophomores should be able to have a wonderful prom. Best wishes from the seniors to the class of 1961! In the fall the class of 1962 elected Bill Dickinson to the post of class president. Assisting Bill in his execu- tive duties were Karen LeCraft, vice- president, Marcia Herman, secretary- treasurerg and Hal Lawson and Tina Roose, social chairmen. Miss Merthe, the class sponsor, helped to orient the freshmen to high school life and guided them through- out the year. As a class, the freshmen did not sponsor any activities, but they did join the various extra-curricular functions. Their ideas and vigorous participation contributed much to these groups. This class has three years of high school in which they are sure to be- come one of O.H.S.'s best classes. Good luck- freshmen! X M SPQIRTING OBERLIN 38 - MIDVIEW 0 The Indians started the season with a bang by routing the Midview Middies 38-0. In this game Oberlin played excellently on both offense and defense, and made a good Midview team look very bad. Five backs accounted for the Tribe's scoring by hitting pay dirt in each quarter. John Stephens plunged over from the three for the first period T.D. Joe Harris and Al Spiegleburg scored in the second with drives of four yards and thirty-five yards, respectively. In the third quarter Joe got his sec- ond touchdown of the evening with a run of seven yards, and Howard Reinhold plunged over from the one yard line to make the score 32-0. In the fourth quarter Del Spurlock went fifteen yards for the final score of the season's opener. UBERLIN 14 - NORTH OLMSTED 0 The Tribe had a tougher time in the conference opener against North Olmsted. Suffering from a mild let down after the opener, the Tribe had to use the breaks to pull out a 14-O victory. Oberlin was outgained one- hundred and eighty-nine yards to one-hundred and forty-seven yards but recovered two fumbles on the Eagle's thirty and converted both to grab the victory. The first score came after Berry Bourne recovered a fumble on the Olmsted twenty-eight. Joe Harris took a pass twenty-five yards on the next play to put Oberlin in front 6-0. Harris also scored the second touchdown on a seven yard plunge to climax a drive started on the Eagle twenty with a fumble recovered by Jeff Cotton. 0BERLlN 14 - WESTLAKE 8 Lee Townsel took a Del Spurlock pass and roared ten yards to pay dirt with thirteen seconds left on the clock to give Oberlin a victory and their fifth straight win. Neither team scored in the first half where a tight pair of defenses kept the ball at midfield. The Tribe came close, however, in the last minutes by marching from their twenty-nine to the Westlake three before fumbling with one minute remaining. 54 BACK: Lee Townsel, Rube Townsel, Joe Harris, Delbert Spur- lock, Alan Spiegelberg, Wayne Morgan, John Stephens.

He picked up a blocked punt finstead of falling on itj and rambled forty yards to the evening's only score. IIBERLIN 20 - BAY VILLAGE 6 The tribe swarmed all over Bay Village to avenge last year's only defeat and won their third straight game 20-6. They took the opening kick-off and converted it into a touchdovm. A1 Spiegelberg 'completed the fifty-seven yard drive with a four yard plunge. Early in the second quarter Spiegelberg scored again, this time climaxing a sixty yard drive. Bay's score came on the next kick-off with a Rocket halfback going ninty-eight yards to score. In the third quarter the tribe garnered their third touchdown with Joe Harris's four yard plunge at the end of the quarter. IIBERLIN 7 - MEDINA 7 The Indians had their bid for a perfect season shattered by the Medina Bees when they fumbled the ball on the Bee one yard line with twenty seconds left. Both teams scored in the second quarter. Medina hit pay dirt first on a recovered Oberlin fumble and three quick passes. The Indians came right back and marched all the way to the Medina twelve before fumbling once more. After holding the Bees, the tribe retumed the punt to Medina 27. Three pays later Joe Harris cut for nineteen yards and the touchdown, and Lee Townsel dove for the tying extra points. Late in the fourth quarter the Indians finally got a drive going and went to the one yard line of Medina before losing the ball and a perfect season. 55 These pages are sponsored by the DOCTORS OF OBERLIN. rf '1'!'5Q2i'J-H ' 'QW' '!4 '. - Wayne Morgan VAR ITY center Lee Townsel back .2 Wfilff Q.

Opening an exciting first half, Spurlock scored midway in the first period. Townsel and Spiegelberg each scored touchdowns making the score at halftime Oberlin 22, Olmstead Falls 0. After eight plays, Lee Townsel raced the final 27 yards, and Spiegelberg added the two extra points. Six plays later Stephens and Townsel again raised Oberlin's score to 36-O.

They did, however, provide many thrills for the folks who came to watch them play. There were four lettermen returning from last year's championship team with which to build a new team. The lettermen were Del Spurlock, Berry Bourne, Joe Harris, and Ruben Townsel. There were several other good prospects which came up from last year's reserve team and also Wayne Morgan who transferred to O.H.S. from Xenia, Ohio. The first game was at home with Bay Village. The Tribe lost this thrilling game by a 49-48 count. The Indians went into the second half trailing by 12 points, and by the end of the third quarter they were within two points of the Rockets. The fourth quarter was a real battle, but the Bay defense stiffened in the last few minutes to give Oberlin its first loss of the season. The Tribe came back against Westlake winning a very fast game. 53-47. Joe Harris led them to victory with 13 points as the Indians put their first mark in the win column. Oberlin again had to fight back from a bad first half, being behind by 8 points at the intermission. Again a big third quarter put the team in the ball game. Oberlin, playing their third game at home, lost to Rocky River. The game was a real thriller through three quarters with the score tied 34-34, but the Pirates pulled away in the last quarter to win 50-44. The Indians lost their next game to the North Olm- stead Eagles 60-51. Against Amherst, the Tribesmen were the victors, winning '78-47. Berry Bourne Tom Coates center forward C GERS The O.H.S. team continued its winning ways against Fairview. Led by Del Spurlock who made 17 points, the Tribe gained its third win, 64-53. Against Lorain St. Mary's Oberlin won a 53-45 victory. In their next game at Elyria Catholic the Indian cagers began to lose ground as they made only 280fo of their shots. They lost on the strange court, 71-51. The Indians still did not improve as they lost to the Medina Bees, 4-5-35. After this de- feat, however, the O.H.S. squad set out to beat Olmsted Falls. On that court they scalped the home team, 89-58. In the second game with Bay, Oberlin lost, '70- 55. The Indians went on from this defeat to win three close games. They beat Westlake, 53-47 after a hard battle. Against Rocky River the O.H.S. men put up a great fight winning 56-54. The North Olmstead game was another thriller when the Indians captured a 65-64 victory. The Tribe then lost to Fairview, 54-49 and ceded a game to Medina, 67-72. Oberlin won its last game when it defeated Olmsted Falls, 67-54. In the tournament play at Elyria, the Tribe did very well. ln their first game, against Westlake, the O.H.S. boys played their best game of the year and defeated a very aggressive squad, 55-54. In the second game, against Clearview, the Indians ran into a little trouble late in the game. After being in the lead, the Tribe suddenly seemed to ease up and Clearview tied the score, 55-55. Clearview then went on to win, 63-60 in overtime. The Tribe ended with a 10-9 season record. ln the lead for scoring and rebounds were Joe Harris, and in the lead for field goal percentages was Berry Bourne.

Vinarscik, junior varsity coach The Junior Varsity team, under the direction of Joe Vinarcsik, this year showed an improvement over last season. Although the team's final results were not too impressive Q5 wins, 15 lossesj, it lost several close games by less than five points, thus giving a good over- all showing. There were several members of the Junior Varsity squad who showed a lot of promise. Bob Laughlin, a sophomore playing his first year here, did a very good job as a starting guard. Andy Comings also looked promising at the guard position before he was sidelined with a back injury during most of the latter half of the season. The center, Barney Hamlin, and the two forwards, Steve Kilmer and Gary Cowling, contributed greatly to the team's rebounding and defense. Behind these five were several able bodied reserves who saw a lot of action. They included, Buddy Hoffman, Joe Berg, Dick Deuble, John Van Ausdale, Rick Comings, and John Thomas. These boys will pro- vide material for future varsity teams, and are ready to keep the cage glory at Oberlin High.

Coach Fanning's track team, the most popular and established spring sport, did comparatively well this year, although they did not win the Conference title as in the previous year. The team was strongest in the 100, 220, broad jump and the 880 relay with Harris, Petroff, Townsel and Butts. Golf, another popular spring sport, for the first time in many years, won all of their matches with Berry and Bob Bourne, Steve Kilmer and Dick Deuble in first, second, third and fourth positions, respectively. Bob Bourne, a fresh- man, shows great promise for the future years, and although Berry Bourne, our top man, graduated this year we still have junior, Steve Kilmer and sophomore, Dick Deuble, to provide another winning team for next year. Coach Mcllroy's tennis team, started just this year, did not play many official matches, although they did play Elyria and Amherst, losing to both. The top four men this year were Tom Merritt, John Hoffman, Andy Parkhurst and Art Murphy. The baseball team, also started this year, under Coach Marty Atkinson, and although not completely organized, had a fair season.

CHEERLEADER Five varsity cheerleaders, composed of junior and senior girls, and five reserve cheerleaders, composed of freshman and sophomore girls, are elected by the student body each year to serve during the football and basketball seasons. Both squads are under the supervision of Mrs. Brady. The cheerleaders did much more than lead cheers. They planned and held pep rallies, sold megaphones during the football season, and sponsored the selling of slogan ribbons for the basketball tournament at Elyria. At the end of bas- ketball season, the cheerleaders passed around mounted pic- tures of the senior boys on the basketball squad and the coach to be autographed by the students. These girls proved to be fine representatives of the school ind did a good job of arous- ing school spirit and enthusiasm. This page is sponsored by H,W, REIGHLY and SON, Incorpo- rated.

Peggy Arnold, Nancy Fairchild. On the first Monday of every month, the officers met at the home of one of the board members to plan all coming events of the G.A.A. When dances, picnics, or group activities were organized, each board member headed a committee, and with the help of the girls of the club, was able to make decorations, put out publicity, or send out invitations. ln addition to the social responsibilities of each board member, the managers were in charge of their individual sports organizing the practices and encouraging class participation. Other duties of the members were so-stated in the Constitution. The school year, 1958-59, was a successful one for the G.A.A. through the hard work of the board to obtain participation, sportsmanship, and fun through the various activities. 68 HOCKEY Nancy Fairchild, field hockey manager, plunged into the '58 hockey season in the lst week of Sep- tember receiving a large and enthusiastic turnout. Although the Seniors and Juniors had no class in- struction on which to rely, they were able to keep pace with the Freshmen and Sophomores. Thus the games which were held every Tuesday and Thursday were very close in score. Black and blue shins were in style by the time that the Red and Blue hockey teams were chosen. The game was originally scheduled for October 30, but due to cold weather the girls were not able to play until November 5. Margaret Karr, Red Manager, and Joan Lauer, Blue Manager, led their teams before a small, shivering audience. In order to fight off the cold, the girls kept the game moving at a quick tempo. ln the remaining few seconds of the game the Reds managed to make the winning goal. After the game the girls were treated to a taffy-apple delight.

BA KETBALL In '58-'59 basketball, the most popular C.A.A. sport, got underway on December 2. Joanne Eldridge was the manager. After a short series of practice games, the official class teams were chosen. The Juniors were the tournament champions for this season. Immediately following the class games the Red and Blue teams were chosen. Soon the teams were ready to highlight the basketball season with the ever-popular Red and Blue Game, which took place on February 4 in the OHS gym. Preceding the game the teams and Mrs. Brady dined at Martin's Inn. The alumnae of OHS added extra spice to the evening's activity by playing before the all-star game. The players used all of their strength, know-how, and sportsmanship to provide exciting enter- tainment for an unusually large audience. Both the Red team, with Linda Deuble as captain, and the Blue team, with Bonnie Kirk as captain, were very strong defensively which kept the score down. The Reds managed to break the tie and in the last two minutes made the winning 3 points to score 28-25. The audience was also entertained by a tumbling exhibition and by the shapely cheerleaders, Wayne Morgan, Berry Bourne, Del Spurlock, Jeff Kilmer, Al Spiegelberg, and Ted Schettler.

A long period of practice games enabled the girls to play their best for selections of class teams. After several class team struggles, the sophomores rose victorious. Practice sessions were soon begun for the newly selected Red and Blue teams with Garthalia Smith as Blue manager and Kathy Gross as Red manager. After three hard games on the official court, the Blues were defeated by the Reds. Ending the season, the home economics girls honored the teams and their assistants with a supper served in the home economics room.

This sport proved to be popular and created enthusi- asm among the girls. 3 Swim night was a new feature of the G.A.A. program. The members swam in Crane Pool for one hour on Wednesday evenings. In addition to the regular program, the organiza- tion sponsored several co-educa- tional swims. SHARING aa X .flaw ry, Th STUDENT SENATE Each year the Student Senate is gaining more importance as the student governing body. This year the seventeen representatives of the different homerooms, under the leadership of the president, John Stephens, met bi-monthly, sometimes carrying over into extra sessions. As student representatives, the Senators gained their home- room's opinions, ideas, and suggestions. Though not entirely suc- cessful in gaining student participation in Senate operations, the student body was recognizing that the Student Senate was its voice in Oberlin High. The members this year explored student govern- ment in co-operation with the faculty which culminated with a definite plan for student government in our school. Through a committee headed by Dave Ignat, the honor awards have been revised and enumerated. A Safety Committee growing out of the Youth Traffic Safety Conference held in Berea on December 15, has been established. The post-game dance policy was revised which deals with hours, dress, and who was to sponsor them.

Assistant editor was Sharon Fairchild with Dave lgnat sewing as staff photographerg Miss May was faculty advisor for the group. The newspaper held meetings every Friday noon to discuss the activities of the week, and turn in their news articles.

One of the innovations of the year was the little cherub column in which a baby picture of a student or faculty member was used. Linden Fisher, a senior member of the staff, started a section on safety both in and out of school. Charles Butts a junior on the staff, introduced a column called Kno Butts About lt in which he answered letters written to him con- cerning school problems. There was also the regular Chit tl' Chat column which carried little jokes or funny incidents which had happened around O.H.S.

Although the girls out numbered the boys, the balance of voices was very good. The best news of the year concerning the choir was the purchase of beautiful, slate blue choir robes by the V-BOP, a music patron group. The choir participated in three events during the year: the first was the Christmas program. In one of the numbers it was accompanied by the orchestra. The second event was the choir festival on March 22 in which the choir received a rating of excellent. The last event was the spring concert which took place on May 22. The choir was again accompanied by the orchestra in Serenade to Spring by Richard Rodgers. It has had a very successful season. This page is sponsored by the OBERLIN MUSIC SHOP.

It was also the major part of all pep rallies held during football season. The band was one of the smallest in the area but played very well despite its size. The Marching Band played a big role in celebrating the 125th anniversary of Oberlin on Saturday, October ll. It was a part ofa mass group comprised of five other local high school bands. This mass band, under the leadership of Douglas P. Handyside, served to introduce the flag raising ceremonies at the mall. The marching band and the Junior High Cade' 'land also performed in the Memorial Day parade. The forty-two piece concert band participated in two important events. On March 22, the band took part in the District Band Contest at Berea and received a rating of one. On May 1 the concert band and the Junior High School Cadet Band gave their spring con- cert. This concert was very entertaining and featured a Mexican novelty number, Hey Pedro.

For their Christmas pro- gram the orchestra featured a fine string ensemble with Bill Hoca and Rick Holbrook on violin and Ted Schettler on cello as soloists. For the second consecutive year the orchestra received a superior rating in the State Orchestra Contest held in Oberlin on February 1. The orchestra had the distinction of being one of the two orchestras to receive an unanimous rating of superior from all four contest judges. On May 22 the orchestra with the vocal groups gave its spring concert. lt featured Orchestra Piece No. I, a violin concerto, composed by Arthur Murphy, a senior. We are indeed proud of our orchestra's fine record.

To this very mysterious house ten assorted guests are invited by an unknown host and hostess. While the guests are assembled for cocktails prior to going to dinner. a voice comes out of the air, accusing everyone present of murder. While they are exchanging data on themselves, one of the ten little indians statuettes topples off the mantle-piece and breaks. Immediately thereafter the young Oxonian chokes to death from his drink. From that moment on the excitement mounts and never lets down until the final curtain. Mrs. Rogers is poisoned, General Mackenzie is stabbed, Mr. Rogers is chopped in half, Emily Brent is poisoned, Dr. Armstrong is drowned, Blore is crushed and Judge Wargrave, our mad villian, is shot by our hero just in the nick of time to save our hor- rified heroine. The play was extremely well directed by Jack Stellman, Oberlin College senior, with the assistance of Dave Ignat, the stage manager, and three Oberlin High School faculty members, Miss May, Miss Merthe and Miss Upton.
