M :L 3 1 o PROMOTERS OF OUR IDEALS The board oi' education has m a de possible the development of those high ideals which Will guide us as We seek to achieve our goal. These men are asked to devote valuable time t o affairs concerning a board of education, yet often these men receive little or no credit for their efforts. We, tlse Seniors, do recognize the Work a n d W o r r i e s in connection with the duties of a board member and do, therefore, take this opportunity to e X p r e s s our appreciation to these men. They are, as pictured above, from left to right: Marvin Cowan, Clerk, W. C. Drager, Superintendent, H. F. Kline, President, L. B. Scheidt, Vice President, P. F. Sidle, Member, VVillis King, Member. ' Juli Lampllglnters of Our Democracy Behind the footlights stands a group of individuals Who do the menial task of instilling in our minds the American Ideals which Will guide us as We play our part on the stage of life. Will We reward our directors by a good performance? OUR COUNTY l Mr. Shaffer's life is truly one of service. In 1903 he became the superintendent of the Ohio City School and remained the supervisor for twelve years. When Mr. Shaffer came to Ohio City, there were only two years oi high school work availa- ble and only eight high school members. However, during his twenty years of direct association with the school, he was able to build up the curriculum from a two year to a four year course. Several years later there were one hun- dred and twenty-four students enrolled in the high school. In 1933 Mr. Shaffer was made the Van Wert County Superintendent and has faithfully given his time and edorts for the further development of the community. The Senior Class of 1941 wishes to express its deepest appreciation for the many things Mr. Shaffer has done for our school and community. SUPERVIS O R ELEANOR FRECK Secretary to Mr. Shaffer OUR SUPERINTENDENT SPEAKS To the Class of 1941: It is the hope of the faculty that as a result of the 'training received in the Ohio City-Liberty School you Will be able successfully to cope with the problems oi life. The aim of the school has been to teach you to thinkg that democracy is based upon free choiceg anfl that Christianity involves consideration of others. From time to time it Will be necessary for you to make adjustments in or.der to meet new conditions in the World. However, I have no fear of your future if your decisions take into consideration the principles of dem-ocracy and Christianity. Success in life Will depend not only upon the facts Which you have learned, but also upon how Well the principles are applied. In behalf of the Board of Education 4' an.d faculty may I Wish you success. ELIZABETH SUCHOR ii5. i523Zei W. C. DRAGER, sum. upt. W. C. Drager Elizabeth Sochor Delbert Taylor Helen Sullins MR.

HERBERT WISE SPONSOR Lucille Kirk - President Ned Dull - Vice President Margaret Stahl - Secretary Elouise Chilcoite - Treasurer Vivian Roller News Reporter FACING THE OPEN RCAD During the last four years While thousands oi young people in Europe have been adopting various destructive methods of Warfare forced upon them by their totalitarian governments, We, the youth of the United States have been left free to pursue in a democracy any creative line of endeavor we Wish. Qur first participation in governmental affairs, the main element of a democracy, began when We were given the opportunity of choosing our class officers. Our dramatic achievement of our junior year was Dotty and DafTy g in our senior year, Bolts and Nuts . Another ideal of a .democracy is the right to happiness. Last year We gave the graduating class a very unusual J unior-Senior Banquet, representing the Wi.de open spaces of the Western states. After entertaining the senior class last year, we were delightfully surprised by the junior class, who on May 9, royally entertained us at the J unior-Senior Prom. Thank you, J uniorsl Dear Ohio City-Liberty High School, We bid you a last farewell and turn our faces to The Open Road . CLASS PROPHECY It was the day that all my high school connections were .severed. I returned home very tired and weary. As I had not been able to sleep for some time I decided to take a large dose of sleeping powder that I found in the medicine chest. I soon became very sleepy .and lay down -upon my bed. Presently, I felt myself sinking into a state of unconsciousness and everything around me became all darkness. In my state of unconsciousness I seemed to see a large town. As I walked down one of the streets, the first person I meet was Charlene Exline, an old schoolmate of mine. I demanded to know what all my classmates were doingg this is what she told me: Charlene, herself, had invented an excellent new Hour for dog biscuits. The Exline Flour Mills .are located in Borneo. Lucille Kirk, is the first ?eaker of the house. She is very partial to Guam, as her most recent wooer, Clifford each, is a representative from that territory. ' Carl Kline, is preparing for trip to the South Seas with a cargo of furs. It's shameful, he exclaimed, how the United States has neglected thwe people. Perhaps they are freezing, never having had the necessary warm clothing. Poor Carl! Maybe he'll learn. Dorth.a Johnson has .advertised in the Ohio City Screwdriver and offered .a young fortune for a husband. A Duke or a Count preferred. Dick Prior has been recognized as ia rising young artist. He was not appreciated in the United States and so went to Rome where he is perfecting Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings. By this time Ch.arlene's knowledge was exhausted and her feet tired, so we entered a soda salon. To my surprise Mary Woods was the operator with Emma Lou Wiseman and Ethel Neate as her waitresses. They served only sodas th.at harmonized with the color of their finger nails. I asked them about many other classmates. They said that Vivian Roller and Wayne Kline had starring roles in the Broadway success, What Devil May Care , or What the Devil Do I Care . They were not sure of the title. They also said that the world famous chemist in the United States, Professor Ned Dull, had created a. new style' doughnut without the usual hole, thus saving time eating around it. While we were eating we were surprised to hear announced over the r.adio in a musical program broadcasted from Berlin, Germany, a vocal solo by Mary Louise Blossom, who was the Prima Donna of the German Opera, and selections by her accompanist, the world-famous pianist, Jestine Jo.hnson. AS we swit-ched the dial from a distant port to home, we caught the strains of Nobody's Baby . Following their rendition of -the song, they were .announced to be Bill Agler, Darrell Spahr, and Max Miller, who formed the Sour Singersn, a world famous triog each one thinks the other two c'a.n't sing. Perhaps ,all three are right. We left Mary and her waitresses and went on the street again, Charlene continued telling me of some of the other classmates. She said that Charlie Woods had left recently for Africa to ,hunt for big or little game. Preferably little and blonde. Isabel Harrison, after perfecting herself in voice, dramatics and on the clarinet. has lost her health and so has decided to enter the matrimonial state with Von Prichard, who has been bothering her for years. While walking dow-n the street, we neared a newspaper boy who thrust a paper into my hand. On the first page was a. big pi-cture of Elouise -Chilcote, a blonde beauty, who was sueling Doyt Stump, her producer, for embezzlement. Aaron Sutton, New York's most famous lawyer, was the attorney in the case. Glancing through the paper, we saw that Kenneth Arn has wasted ,away ten good years of his life. What is the matter??? It appears Luetta Brubaker, his wife, .had a black and white -checked coat. Kenny has not yet decided whether it's white with black checks or black with white checks. We hope he learns soon, for this is the first thing he .hasn't figured out. Glancing up from our paper, a familiar figure, whom we recognized to be Helen Hoghe, buzzed ,around the corner with a super-duper-duper deluxe, streamlined, torpedo baby buggy. Sitting sedately on cushioned pillows were her prize pekinese dogs, which she said ,ate their Exline Dog Biscuits daily. Having lear.ned something of my classmates future, I felt th.at my time in dreaming had been spent worthwhile. I was very happy to learn that all my classmates will be so prosperous in the coming years. MARGIE STAHL. CLASS WILL TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: We, the Senior Class of 1941, hereby submit the following will, giving our under- classmates and teachers those qualities which we think will help them to be just as successful as we are. I, Bill Agler, here-by will my shiny black hair and dark eyes to Pinky Carr for reasons of my own. Here's hopin' he has better lsuck with them than I did. I, Kenny Arn, hereby will my physique and my basketball ability to Chester Brub.aker. If he doesn't appreciate them maybe Luetta will a.nd besides, I want to keep it in the family. I, Cliff Beach, hereby will my abi-lity to keep my hair combed and attract attention by doing so to Bud Hoffman. Maybe he did get a fevw dates with Helen Hoghe but you can't say I didn't try. I, Mary Blossom, hereby will my shiny red hair and .all my c.harm and poise to Alice Cooper. I don't need it any moreg it didn't do me any goody he chose a college education instead. . I, Luetta Brubaker, hereby will my low alto voice to Louise Doang with her sopra.no and my .alto a.nything's liable to happen. I, Weezie Chilcote, hereby will my beautiful blond hair to Edna Mae S-tutz, but I'll keep Jackie fo.r myself. He doesn't have .a Mercury 8 but I've always liked the V'8s anyhow. I, Ned Dull, hereby will my .ability to play the piano and drums to Lynn Brown and Ro-bert Krugh respectively. However I'll keep on dreaming of Margie and promise never to go to Rockford or Glenmore again, especially in the Hudson. I, Tiny Exline, hereby will my excess weight and jolly attitude to Betty Eber. Keep your chin up Betty may-be our luck will change. I, Iszie Harrison, hereby will my ability to blush and be embarrassed at the right times to Johnny Prior. Perhaps it won't do him any good but every little bit helps. I, Helen Hoghe, hereby will my ability to give speeches to Betty H.igh. Shes may as well keep on talking. No one will listen to her anyhow, I know ll!! L, Dotty Johnson, hereby will my devil--w.ay care attitude to Joan Dull but I'll keep my love for Junior for myself, if I can. I, Jestine Johnson, hereby will my .ability to learn foreign languages, in addition to my evening studies to Paul Mosier. I, Cile Kirk, hereby will my clean basketball playing to Buck Kelsey. If Arlene Krugh were twins, I'd probably be a human tornado too. I, Carl Kline, hereby will my a-bility to keep calm in the presence of girls to Bob Stahl. Girls never bother me, darn it ! ! ! I. Wayne Kline, hereby will my .ability to disagree to Bud Custer .and my ability to tell stories to anyone who'll promise to tell them to me first. I, Max Miiller, hereby will my shy manner and quiet attitude to Paul Mosier. Miracles do happen you know and even though I don't have- .a white pony or a Mercury 8, I could be .a dashing romeo too, maybe! ... ..........v I. Ethel Neate, hereby will my independent attitude and my makeup kit to Mellba Mottinger. She's independent eno-ugh but not at the right times. I, Von Prichard, hereby will my ,ability to behave once in a while to Johnny Prior. Ifd give him my job on the milk route too but I'm afraid ,he'.d drink up all the profit and Mr. Smith would have: to eat his Wheaties without cream. I, Dick Prior, hereby will my ability to stand up for my rights to Frankie Doan. I certainly wouldn't enjoy going to a movie with a basketball. I, Sandy Spahr, hereby will my pretty gray eyes to Dick Agler to look at some- thing besides the girls. Some people ,always want everything they can't have. I, Margie Stah', hereby will all my irresistable charm and allure to Marjorie Bigham .and my ability to play the trumpet to Ralph Taylor. I, Doyt Stump, hereby will my ability to come straight to the point to Vi-ctor -Carr. Although on second thought maybe I should have let ,a few people dangling on a limbg perhaps I wou,ldn't be so lonesome. I, Aaron Sutton, hereby will my ability to write shorthand to Bob Stahl. I'm not only doing him .a favor, I'm saving the Senior girls a lot of extra homework as well. I, Emma Lou Wiseman, hereby will my ability to go with one boy more than a month at a time to Melba. Mottinger. No offense please!! I, Mary Woods, hereby will my ability to laugh to Lucille' Roberts. We at least know Mary has teeth. L, Charlie' Woods, hereby will my manly physique to Max Mercer. With my build and Max's attitude we could surpass Superman. And in conclusion, I, Vivian Roller, in behalf of the Senior Class of 1941, herevby will the final exams for Seniors to the Senior Class of 1942, our dramatic abilities to the F. F. A.. and our excess vim, vigor and vitality to the baseball team. However, we wish to keep our good spirits, friendly attitudes, good looks, our superior intelligence and our genuine all around goodness for ourselves to assist us in our ascension of the ladder of success. Signed: VIVIAN ROLLER Witnesses: ELOUISE CHILCOTE I-L F. WISE SCHOOL SONG We always have been favored, By our pupils good and true, While other schools have labored, To make our hearts feel blue, We shall always keep our banners, And our athletics clean, And always be real loyal, To the Red and the Green. Just look at our girls and boys, They're doing their very best, We are loyal to our High School, For we love O. C. H. S. If we win scholastic victories, Individual or team, Still we love our dear old High School, And the Red and the Green. SENIOR CLASS SONG Fame, fame, for our Senior Class Bring on tlce studies we'll always pass, While our classmates take the lead, Right from the start we will succeedg We'll never fret, but we stagger ong We're always true, and never do wrong, Don't mind other's jealousy, C-ome on, our Senior Class, Rah!

MR. ROGER RIIODC CK ER SPONSOR Hi-Y 9 SYXTH ROW: Owen Rank, Joe Irvin, Clifford Beach, Max Swoveland, Dick Ellinger: WE PLAY FOR FUN--AND PROFIT Ohio City-Liberty High School has a Well-organized and active music department. Mr. J. C. Phillips, our director, tries to give his pupils a love oi interpreting and listening to good music-fan appreciation and understanding of cultural things. During the first half of the year nineteen new members Were added to the organization, making a total of forty-one members enrolled in the band. Members oi the band .demonstrated their drilling ability, under the direction of drum major, Donna Kelly, at home basket-ball games during the year. With cap lights in the darkness and every head obeying the command oi the drum major's Whistle, the formation of letters, spelling tlce names of various schools, proved to be a very spectacular sight. The formation of the spiral With head lights Was another unusual accomplishment. Otlter yearly activities of the band include a mass rehearsal and concert with the other bands of the county. We, the graduating members of the band, Wish to express our sincere gratitude for the help and time Mr. Phillips has spent with us during the past year. 'I I HEAR A SYMPHONY The high school orchestra along With the other musical organizations is a means oi .developing our American ideals. Although ours might be expressed as an echo of the great symphonic orchestras of the World, We enjoy the forty-five minutes of practice a Week very much and feel that We have done Well. We have played some semi-popular music through- o.ut the year, and everyone seemed to like the variety. However, the hard Work comes after the fun, as much practice is required ,for the annual spring performances. WAGSTAFF MOTOR SALES DEALER - -we HUDSON CARS 216 N.

Their Singing Coulcl Bring An Angel Down Vw ith a song in their hearts and on their lips, the A Cappella Choir, under the direction of Mr. .I. C, Phillips, have sung their way through a very enjoyable year. They rehearse once a week, and their repertoire includes all types of choral music. Most of their appearances have been at various school programs and for the last few years they have entered the district contest at Wittenburg Col.lege, Springfield, Ohio. Mary Louise Blossom, lyric soprano, with her accompanist, Jestine Johnson, received a high rating in the district contest which enabled her to enter the state contest in Columbus, May 2. A mixed ensemble, composed of Mary Louise Blossom, Louise Doan, Virginia Bickle, Isabel Harrison, Donna Kelly, Vivian Roller, Richard Prior, Robert Stahl, Owen Rank, and James Hertel, also competed in the state contest. The eighty-one members of the chorus have been trained until they can sing edectively and harmoniously. The appreciation in music, in performance and theory are taught in this musical assembly. MOTHERS' CLUB At the beginning oi the school year 1940-1941 the Band Mothers meet for their regular meeting. However, at this time the group decided that the name of the organization should be changed from Band Mothers to Mothers' Club. The reason for the change was .due to the fact that the organization was Working for the betterment of the school and community and not necessarily for the band. This combine.d with the idea of meeting for an evening of recreation as Well as business has tended to make the organization larger and more active. At present their major purpose is to secure new band uniforms, but they are also interested in all activities concerning school life. These ladies have Worked diligently this past year, for which they deserve a great deal of credit and praise. Many active members were absent at the time this picture was taken.

Most of our time Was spent on choral music, but since Variety is the spice of lifen, a number oil semi-classical songs were sung. From our club, a Senior trio was organized Which performed a number of times during the school year and entered the district contest at Springfield, Ohio. An ensemble, composed oi' Glee Club members also entered this district contest as did the entire organization. We sincerely hope that the girls in the future glee il clubs enjoy the time spent in singing as much as I We who are graduating. Krieger, Virginia Bickle.
