Ohio City Liberty High School - O Citian Yearbook (Ohio City, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 90 of the 1943 volume:

l i I4 0161910 We. the 50th Senior Class to graduate from our school. wish to dedicate the 13th volume of the O'Citian to Sgt. David J. Cress, Mr. Cress. born at Van Wert, Ohio. received his elementary training at the Horace Mann School and graduated from Van Wert High School in 1935. He continued his education at Ohio Northern University, Ada, Ohio. from which he graduated in 1940 with a B. S. Degree in Education. He was then prepared to teach in the field of history. speech and biolo v. He gwas elected sponsor of otu' class when he first became a member of the teaching staff of Ohio City-Liberty in 1940. All during the year of '40-'41 he was very faithful. not only as sponsor of our class. but also as a friend to everyone. Whenever we had the 'bluesf' Mr. Cress always had a kind word which lightened our spirits. He was our pro- vider whenever we were in need of good and sound advice. In the year of 341-'42, with greater zeal than before. Mr. Cress was again willing to be our guide, His loyalty made it seem as though he were one of us. But on March 4, 1942, we gave to the Armed Forces of our nation our capable ad- visor. and the school, as well. yielded an eligible history and biology instructor for our defense. We feel that our school was greatly benefited by him in the short time he was with us. Even though he has been in the United States Army the last twelve months of our high school days, his influence has taught us not to Stare up the steps of opportunity. but to Step up the stairs. With sincere appreciation we dedicate this. the 1943 O'Citian to you, Mr. Cress. and wish you the best of good luck in everything you do. We are sure that the men in the army have found you to be as loyal and true a friend as we did. inf ANNUAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF - - - GENE ELLINGER .xss1sTANT EDlToR-IN-CHIEF - - - JOAN DULI- JOKE EDITORS - - NVilliafm Book, Lllcille Roberts.

My mind now wanders back To the year of Thirty-nine. When our class of Forty-three came To Liberty High with great. thoughts in mind. We've struggled through to Forty-three, Through Latin, Algebra, and so. We were surprised to learn How very much the1'e was to know. The class since then is not so large, But the spirit is just the same. So the world still has a chance To acclaim some of the seniors' fame. We have spent these four years In preparation for some goal: But we may have to change our plan: For the good of our country's soul. Members of our class have triumphed In Helds of various kinds. A class more versatile and keen Would be difficult to find. In dramatics we have done our bit That we might engrave our names, As many in the past have done. On plaques in the halls of fame. To our teachers We give a bow, In some way show our gratitude For things that they have done for us, Though at times we thought them very crude. So dear old Liberty High we leave.

We almost broke the enrollment record in our second year with 68 pupils. I can distinctly remember Mr. Taylor moving extra seats into his room for us when we were in thc sixth grade. At that time there were 52 of us. Junior high seemed a great advancement, but it didn't compare to 1939 when we tnteied high school as verdant freshmen. David Blush was chosen president and Mr. Skinner sponsor. Joe Irvin ranked with the upper ten percent in the district elimination test for general science, bringing honor to our class for which we were justly proud. While we were gay young sophomores. Bob Stahl was president of the class with Mr. Cress as our sponsor. With this capable leadership the year passed quickly and was brought to a happy climax with a spring frolic and party in the gym. More fun!! By this time we were taking part in practically all the extra curricular activities 5 band, basketball, baseball and vocal music. As jolly juniors we chose Dick Ellinger president and Mr. Cress advisor. The one fad incident during this term was the induction of Mr. Cress into the United States Army in March. However, we were very lucky to have such an efficient teacher as Miss Benson to take over. The high lights of this year were the Junior-Senior banquet which we sponsored, and the Junior class play Healthy, Wealthy and Wise which to some was one of the best plays ever presented in our school. Also that year we all enjoyed a skating party at Celina. We then found ourselves Grand Old Seniors, Lords and Ladies of all the school. we thought. I wonder if that's why the teachers said we had senioritus ? Anyway. we re-elected Dick Elliriger president and Miss Benson advifor. We sponsored the Senior Class Play 'tDon't Be Bashful which was a success despite the numerous effects of ration- ing at that time. The Senior Carnival. serving at the tournament, bake sales, and various cther antivities were executed with a great degree of success. Car Junior skating party was so enjoyed by all that we decided on a return en- gagement at Edgewater. Now, looking forward to the Junior-Senior Reception, Baccalaureate and Com- mencement, we feel greatly honored that we are allowed to graduate on the fiftieth birth- day of Chio City-Liberty High School with the largest class in its history. We find in balancing the books that we have slowly but surely climbed the steps cf opportunity. Of course a few of our group have fallen, others tripped on a couple of the steps, but we 34 have kept right on striving for our goal. I am sure we will keep on climbing until we eventually reach success. We hope our school mates find we have left just a little more on the debit side of the ledger than we h-ave taken away. m A,--. xx - 1 , v I' f' .- Y . 4-P 'P-X1 rl 12R'x ' .K vrlyihgv ., : It 1' lv' Q, E' Q13 v nu 4. , ,,. ... ....?..,.K.-.

C. Drager, Supt. Cleveland Schools Cleveland, Ohio, Dear Mr. Drager: Due to the many changes that have taken place since I graduated from high school. I feel it has been twenty years instead of only six. For the past three years I have gone in for professional prize fighting and in addi- tion to the nice bag of money I take in now and then, I have met some very interesting personalties, I thoroughly enjoy my career which to many would be a mere waste of time. During my last bout I received a badly sprained ankle when my opponent. Pedro Monzo, struggled to pull me to the floor at Madison Square Gardens after I had thrown him for the final count of ten. I have not regretted these few weeks of recuperation, however, as I have toured the world in my new PQ-4 Rocket-ship. During this tour I have visited most all of my classmates of the class of '43. Now please do not grade this as you once did my test papers, but I thought per- haps you too would be interested in knowing the whereabouts of that good old class of '43, Before leaving New York, I met David Blush, who is now manager of the Song Bird Night Club there. He informed me that only last week he had featured Alice Rickard, the new song star. He also told me that Recie Ellinger had visited the club several days ago. She had just returned from Australia where she has been in home nursing school, She mentioned that Lois King and Meda High have not as yet returned to take nursing positions in the States. Gene Ellinger, also of New York, though making good money as a stock-broker on Wall Street, will probably be the next President of these United States, My next stop was in Tampa, Florida, where Mrs, Romayne Harrison Shindeldecker was spending a few weeks with her husband. Walter is president of the All Star Con- struction Company. Lucille Roberts was a guest of Romayne, She is taking dying lessons there in Tampa and expects to solo in a few weeks. Lucille had just received a letter from Vivian Mihm who was on an ocean honeymoon with her husband. Admiral Robert Davis, With the exception of one spell of seasickness, they were having a grand time. In Cleveland I called on Arlene Krugh, who is the new manager of the Krugh-Kline - - United Poultry and Creamery Company at 2468 Easy Street. She spoke of Dorothy Bil- lieu Keit.h's new arrivals-Harold Jr. and Dotty. Mr. and Mrs. Keith HOW live at 2345 Well-Known Street there in Cleveland. In Chicago I was attracted by a large neon sign reading Brownies Beauty Salon. I was very much surprised to ind that Marjorie was the proprietor. She is Very happy in her new shop. Flora Stemen and Ruby Cowgill had just stopped in for facials. 'They are air hostesses on the Trans-Western Air Lines but despite the fact that they have little spare time, they keep that school-girl neatness. They told me that on their last stop in Fort Wayne, Indiana, they had seen Anna Hurless who is now in her luxurious summer dwelling. Albert is President of the G, E. there. Before coming back to Ohio City, I flew to Europe to see Earl Clouse who is a pilot of the European American Air Lines. He spends most of his time going from London to New York but mentioned the fact that just recently he had seen Bud Hoffman in Americanized Germany. Bud was busy digging a grave for Germany's former headline man who died in his cell two weeks ago. Upon reaching San Francisco, I was informed that Joan Dull. after completing four years primary and two years secondary training as a private secretary, is now employed by the First Grand National Bank of that city. Proceeding eastward, I passed through Colorado. There I learned that Orville Myers had just received a medal for heroism. He saved the lives of a family of seven skunks while working with the Forest Rangers there. My next stop was in Indianapolis. There I met Bob Stahl. Bob informed me that he had just graduated from civil engineering school and had a position in the Acme Con- struction Company. Dorotha Newton is a member of the secretarial staff there. My arrival in Ohio City was a very pleasant one. I noticed many new additions to the town. One of the buildings was especially attractive to my eye and I stopped to inquire as to whom it belonged. To my great surprise it was the new home of Norman Taylor. He and his wife, the late Marcella Stump, had just completed the mansion on Carmean Street. Mort has become section foreman on the Erie railroad and is doing very nicely as a first class boss. I was talking to General Paul George Mosier who had just returned from Ameri- canized Germany. We were discussing the old times we used to have when Paul Fauble strolled up. He had just bought another team of horses and a new tractor for his 300 acre farm located two miles south of Dansville. Everything is going very smoothly there. Alice Cooper and her husband are now at home on their new farm west of Van Wert. Word has been received that Eloise Eibllng and a certain H. M. have eloped. The parents think they have gone to Niagara Falls. I visited the dear old Alma Mater and discovered that Edna Mae Stutz has se- cured a position there as home economics teacher. I was very much disappointed that I didn't get to see Dr. Joseph Irvin. Because of a much needed rest, he was vacationing in Northern Canada with his good friend and close business mate, Paul D. -Switzer, the city mortition. Upon his return Joe is going to Elida to try the Two can live as cheaply as one plan. We hope Norma will be happy. I read in the now daily Ohio City Progress that Dick Ellinger received headline glory when he hit a home run that scored three runs for the Yankees. I also noticed on the society page that Pauline Kelsey is going to New York where she will become Mrs. Good Luck! On my return trip to New York I stopped in Philadelphia and was very surprised to see Elmer Woods. He is now head massager at DufTy's Reducing Emporium. And so, having fully recuperated, I'm back in New York and have signed for another fight next month: If you wish to come. I will arrange for ringside seats. Signed: Bill Book. P. S.

They weren't very coniident and 'they weren't like most Freshmen. That year we elected as our class leaders: Gaylord Taylor. presidentg Frank Doan. vice-presidentg Ilo Shindeldecker, secretary. and Wilbur Prich- ard, treasurer. Mrs. J. C. Phillips, he for- mer Miss Helen Sullins, was our sponsor. Our class party was held at Roux Myers' woods where we had a wiener roast and play- ed games. The next year we found ourselves as studious Sophomores under the direction of Mr. Rutter, our new coach, School went on as usual, and we were too busy studying to think about doing anything else that year. The school year of 1942-43 opened with a bang! As proud Juniors we were made more deliberate by our sponsor, Miss Throop. We chose as our class officers: Norman Darwood, presidentg Ilo Shindeldecker, vice- president: June Hurless, secretary, and Frank Doan as our treasurer. We held a bake sale and a scrap drive on December 5, 1942, and started to enlarge our treasury. We also received our class rings later in the year. However, our biggest event of the year will be the Junior-Senior Re- ception on May 7. Our class party was held at the school auditorium where we played games. After the recreation, we proceeded to the cafeteria for refreshments. As this school year comes nearer to its close, we shall watch the seniors and make ourselves ready for the exercises which we shall experience next year.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club is composed of students from our high school. The club participates in contests frequently held in the county and state. But because of present Will' conditions. the girls have not had the opportunity to take part in as many activities as in former years. The club is composed of 41 members and from this group two trios have been formed. The Sophomore trio consists of Evelyn Collins, Anna Mary Emerick and Jeanette Kelly: and the senior trio of Alice Rickard, Joan Dull and Flora Mae Stenien. Each oifers keen competition for the other.

Many contests were entered and numerous superior ratings were received by the band during his stay with us, Mr. Edward Katz was the next director and the various activities were continued with a great deal of success. Mr. J. C. Phillips became our director in the fall of 1940. During that year the band participated in the contests as usual. but transportation in 1941 was hampered by the official restrictions for the use of school buses. The home community enjoyed our concerts up town, however, and never tired of our unusual forma- tions and drills at our home basketball games. This year our director is Mr. David Jones. Although we have been deprived of some of our outside activities. this small obstacle does not stop our eagerness to work toward perfection. We have enjoyed playing for the business men. furnishing music for our home basketball games and will have an active part in the spring inusicale to be given in May.

Our variety ot attractions included fortune telling, a fishing pond, bingo, H graveyard, bus- ketball, a small menagerie, bowling, a novelty shvp. weivht guessing and several other activities. The program for the evening consisted of a number from the senior gifs' trio and the senior boys' quartet, a mock operation of the Hingrown hare and the fanngus magician. The major event of the carnival was the coronation of the queen, Rita Belle Stahl, representative from the seventh grade. Mr. Drager was given the privileue of crowning the queen. We all agreed that Miss Stahl made a striking queen for the occasion.

One instance of this was the calling off of the fall baseball schedule. It was decided, also at that time, to have spring baseball if possible. Our basketball schedule went on as usual, though there was some slight trouble ccncerning transportation to and from said games. During the season and throughout the tournament, our boys made a good showing. considering their lack of height. Even with this disadvantage, they beat several larger ttams, and though they didn't win, gave Middle Point, the county champs, their best game of the entire tournament. Our season record included eight won and eight lost for our tirst team and eight won and seven lost for the second team.

MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Joe Irvin Joan Dull THE GRUMBLER OF 1943 The Army boys gripe about army life. but they have a snap compared to what we go through at school. In the Army you have a chance to enlist but here you are just drafted with no deferments or furloughs. If you go A. W. O. L. vou get detention and spend the next month in the study hall. ' In the Army you have to work to get to the front ranks. but in school you get there without half trying. It's getting so you can't even get acquainted with the person sitting beside you. You look at him once and the next thing you know you are sitting in the front row. And once you get in those front ranks you are stuck there for the rest of the year. Some days at school it's so cold you need an overcoat to keep warm. The very next clay you need a bathing suit to keep cool. Itis enough to give anyone pneumonia. Then when you do have to miss school to regain your health you have to make up all your work or else take two 5's a day in each subject. ' Who in the heck's always changing the time? We did eat at 12:00 o'clock. Then they changed it to 12:30 but still they weren't satisfied. Now we eat at 12103. Next thing you know we won't even be eating. Anyway. one week you go to school at the ciack of dawn and the next week the sun has set before you get home. Next comes the study hall. When you have exhausted yourself studying and want. tc go to the library you have to get a permit from the teacher. There are usually .1 couple dozen ahead of you. When your time does come, the bell rings. If you keep the books over two weeks, you have to pay two cents a day. We certainly shouldnt be blamed if We tly to get down there and can't make it. I wonder what the study hall library was ever put there for. You don't any more than get in there and get a good conversation started-uniil out you go, The only ones 'who can read magazines or library books are the pupils with a two average. How does anycne ever expect you to get a two average around here? Whose idea was it to put those third grade seats in the study hall? Boy. itfs a bone crushing job trying to put your six foot carcass in one of those little sawed-cii' :lesks and that's only the beginning. Just try to untangle yourself to get out. Then they crab because we yank the desk loose from the floor in order to get our pain-racked body out. It seems as if they try to get the biggest kids in the smallest seats. And they do a pretty good job of it!! Don't they think we are ever going to grow up? You take your life in your hands every time you ride in one of the school buses. Why, just the other day the wheels flew off one of them. And another thing-you nearly freeze to death every time you ride on those things. When we do get to school and make a dash for the hot air register, it's so crowded you can't even see it. We don't get to have chapel every week anymore either. When we do have it. they only let us come to the assembly for a measly 45 minutes. And we can't even yell Senior Rah after it's over. Cui' singing is also limited. Last year we were allowed at least ten minutes if every choir period on Friday to sing popular songs. Well, this year we sing the same old classical pieces over and over. some on the order of Uplink-plunk -without even the piano to help us over the rough places. Nine times out of ten. every day after a big basketball game or a special program. three cr four teachers spring an unexpected quiz and raise Cain because we don't pass it. What do they think we are? The Quiz Kids? And loitering in the halls is definitely out, because anyone sticking his nose in the hall at noon is liable to get it clipped off by the hall patrol, with whom you are probably quite familiar. Frcm the halls they chase us poor mortals into the gymnasium where. if you :lon't have a boy or girl friend, you're likely to get drowned in the mush. Ho! Hum' Just another detention slip for sleeping in class, Whoever heard of anyone being able to sleep during a class? Most of us only wish we could. The teachers are usually talking at the top of their lungs and your pal right next to you is snoring so loudly that you can't hear yourself think. To top it all off. those chairs are so hard that the termites in them have all starved. Then they accuse us of sleeping. With shoe rationing. you would think the administrators would permit us to slide down the stair railings. But I guess as long as they have plenty of shoes. why worry about us. I could think of dozens of things yet to grumble about but I'rn afraid it would be censored so it wouldn't do any good to continue. but if I had my choice. give me the army any day!!
