Q4 ' x li is r Page 10-O'CITIAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The sky is blue and almost cloudless. The air is still, and the only move- ment, puffs of smoke rising from the top of a hill in the distance. That smoke is a signal to a great tribe of Warriors who live within its radius: it is calling them to the annual council meeting where they will judge whether or not the Seniors are worthy of being ranked as alumni of the tribe. As we draw nearer, we behold a green valley dotted with red spring flowers. We must hurry now, for the elders and the wisemen have already assembled. The drums are booming solemnly, and every eye is fixed on a procession of 25 Seniors, moving in their grey caps and gowns toward the coun- cil fire. Their faces are sober, for they realize the significance of the occasion. The chief gives a sign with his hand, and a hush falls upon all the Indians. Who has the records of the candidates? he questions. I step forward saying, I have, Sir. He announces that our records must be acceptable for the last four winters if we may be called alumni of the tribe. Next he commands me to read them, and with trembling frame and shaking voice, I begin. Once upon a time many moons ago, there lived in the land of the Warriors, a group of young people who believed they were ready to start the long ordeal to prove themselves worthy of being full-fledged tribesmen. Each year they had a quest, with wisdom and Warrior hood as an ultimate goal. The task for the first year was to find friendship among the older members. We elected Honey-Child Iohnson for our leader and Tag-Along Medaugh as his assistant. Pokey Hontus Stahl was our scribe. Shortgrass Smalley took care of our Wampum and Hi-Stepper Krugh was reporter. Our Councelor Slabaugh left us in the middle of the year to join another clan. We threw a mighty feast for her when she left. The task set before us the following year was usefulness, we were to serve our elders at all times. Edi-Tor Ragon joined our band, but Phyllis Doan and K-Lee Mercer left us. Phyllis has a home of her own, while K-Lee joined another tribe. We made Patch-on-the-Pants Krugh our leader with Tag-Along Medaugh, his helper. Susie-Q Switzer was our scribe. Cherry Tree Detterer was in charge of our Wampum, and Do-Ra-Me Eibling recorded our news. Councilor Fraker advised us to have a Box Social, which was a big success. We were to achieve happiness in our quest last year. With Susie-Q Switzer in command, Pokey Hontus Stahl assisting, Write-It-Down Galloway doing just that, Tag-Along Medaugh guarding our treasure, Advisor Adams making our progress known to everyone, and Chief Tell-It-All Carmean making our notches in the Totem Pole of time we were victorious. Under the supervision of Advisor Detterer we climaxed the year in May with a ceremonial dance for the Trail Blazers. The council fires burned bright- ly that evening displaying the gaily painted Warriors in their bright feathers. And now at last we have reached the end of the trail and we raise our colors high, for we believe we have done well in obtaining our last trophy- Leadership. We could not have gained this objective if it had not been for our leader Big-Shot Germann, Advisor Adams, Write-It-Down Galloway, Do-Ra-Me Eibling, Edi-Tor Ragon, and the full co-operation of every member of the tribe under the splendid counceling of Medicine Man Cress.

Steadily its thumping pounded out the year nineteen hundred and fifty-three. Yes, we had agreed five years ago that We would again assemble when we should hear its magnetic call, and though I, Iomayne of Hollywood, the exclusive designer of Marshall Thompson's clothes, was flying down the Erie tracks on the new atomic Streamliner still I was drawn by its impelling sound. As I entered the familiar surroundings, my eyes were strained to see who might be causing the alarm-but then I should have known it Would be our former tribal princess, Betty Germann. I soon learned that Betty was running for the presidency of the United States, and by the time Mr. and Mrs. Harold Adams appeared upon the scene, I was drafted to pass out Germann for President buttons. Harold is a popular radio comedian and singer while Delilah is the owner of Rices grocery store. While we were discussing old times, who should drive up in a convertible but Leroy Carmean who is now the greatest play-boy of Bo-Bo. With him was Dorothy Mottinger-Bennett-Faurot-Mayor-Brown-Myers-Gackenheimer, the gay divorcee, and her lawyer Raymond Prior, who is now devoting himself to the legal aspects of Dorothy's many love affairs. Dorothy had come especially to see Anna Lou Switzer, a confirmed old maid, who now writes the famous column in the Ohio City Progress Advice to the Love-lorn. Our eyes were drawn toward the back seat where sat Rita Stahl, Dorothy's private secretarv. and Sylvia Hoghe, a famous psychiatrist. Rita's only iob is to keep in touch with Dorothy's ex-husbands about alimony While Sylvia's fame is due to her ability to keep all of Dorothy's husbands from going nuts. During our old-fashioned pow-wow. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sutton and Don- nie Ir. ioined us. We discovered that Sutton had bought a ranch and named it Sutton's Acres. Gus and Mary's Dude Ranch is located next to Sutton's Acres. They specialize in raising thoroughbred horses. Among the members of our class who have become world famous are lanice Ragon and Charles Iohnson, our great scientists who have developed a system for sharpening pencils by the use of atomic energy. Suddenly in the distance we heard the faint echoes of galloping hoofs! As they drew nearer we could distinguish the outline of a man-yes, it was Iohn Taylor galloping along on his pink elephant Pee-Wee, chasing squirrels. A close second was Whitey Krugh in his big car-transport filled to the brim with little Crosleys. Whitey drives for the great firm of Bud, Inc. Bud talked his way from traveling salesman to President of the firm. lust before arriving at the reservation, Whitey had left a Crosley at the Smalley's Ned, loe and family, that is. Bob Galloway. a flying agricultural teacher arriving from Detroit, stopped on his way through Toledo for Marie Medauah. the head nurse of the mental institution. Since, they noticed a sign R. Roehm, owner as they were pass- ing an elaborately decorated country estate they decided to investigate. When they found that it was their old classmate Bob, they asked him to join them. The next to arrive was Lloyd Balliet. who had derived so much pleasure from his high-school studies that he had devoted his entire life to gaining new degrees. lean Hertel soon breezed in from the Barnum and Bailey Brothers Cir- cus where she is employed as The Tall Lady. The last to make an appearance were Marilyn Switzer and Helen Mc- Dorman of Slim's Reducing Salon on 59th Street in New York. They brought with them a remedy for the little-on-the-plump-side girls with which they hope to increase their business considerably. This has indeed been a great reunion, for we had again become iust plain John or Mary, but at the close of the day as we went our separate ways we sadly returned to our professional titles of Mrs. and Mr. Before we parted, however, we all made a solemn vow to re-unite in 1958 to review our memories of school-days in O. C. L. Sally Iomayne Detterer Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1948 Discovered One hundred years have passed and it is now the year 2048, No trace ot the tribe of 1948 had been lound until last week, Not even a Last Will and Testament to show what bequests they may have made to classmates who should succeed them. Last week Mr. David I. Cress XIX, while working in his garden, discovered the mound which contained the prize possessions and Last Will and Testament of the tribe of 1948. buried by David I. Cress I.

THE FORTY-NINERS Thirty-one would-be miners enthusiastically shouldered their picks and shovels on that bright September morn and set off in search of gold. Yes, they were the Forty-niners. They had long heard it said that gold is where you find it. The leaders of the expedition were Dallas High, president: Coral Taylor, vice-president: Ardyth Prichard, secretary: and Edsel Brown, treasurer. In '46 we started on with renewed vigor. New life was added by new leaders: Pearl Bolen- baugh, president: Edsel Brown, vice-president: Ioanne Sidle, secretary: Carolyn Agler, treas- urer: and Alice Mae Krugh, reporter. We picked a white Carnation for our class flower, and flew our newly selected banner of purple and white. Toward the end oi the second year several gave up hope of ever finding gold: fool's gold had deceived them too many times. So September found just twenty-six of the original Forty- niners in search of gold. With new leaders-Dallas High, president: Carolyn Agler, vice-presi- dent: Ioanne Sidle, secretary: Ardyth Prichard, treasurer: Coral Taylor, historian: Lowell Ste- men, Sergeant-at-Arms: and Marlene Meeker, news reported-we pressed further on: for by now we had realized that We Finish to Begin and determined to make this our motto. By some streak of luck a rich deposit oi valuable ore was discovered in The Custers' Last Stand. After a short skirmish with Indians at exam time, we found ourselves a little nearer our goal. Gold rings, now adorned each hand as a symbol of our quest. In May, as skies began to clear, we entertained some tribes of friendly Indians who had helped us on our Way. Yes, we have learned many lessons from the Indians. And so-with re- newed vigor on go the Forty-Niners! Page 20-O'CITIAN Row 1-Virginia Hertel, Shirley Brand, Patty Krugh.

TEN LITTLE In our Freshman year, our class included thirty-one members, to whom high school seemed a little strange: for we were not quite used to changing classes and keeping our books in lockers. We selected very capable class oificers: Shirley Brand, our president: Patsy Rickard, vice president: Lola Mae Eibling. secretary: and Patty Krugh, treasurer. We were fortunate in having Mr. West as sponsor. When we had a skating party on November 7, 1946, at the Y. W. C. A. everyone rode on the school bus. Such fun as we had that night! Imagine a room lull of freshies, hall of whom did not know how to skate! Well, it was a case of stay out of our way or take your chance. We were better able to begin the second lap of the high school race. Our officers who are managing the Sopho- more team are Shirley Brand, president: Iay Dee Putnam, vice president: Iohn Priddy. secretary: Max Prichard, trea- surer: Lola Mae Eibling, news reporter: and Maynard George, advisor on parliamentary procedure. Mrs. Helen Wur- ster. the new music teacher, is our sponsor. We have selected our class colors which are green and gray. and our class flower, the yellow rose. With these chosen. we're ready for the third lap of the relay. We learned so much last year at the skating party that we decided to try it again this year, on October 22nd. Thinking ahead to the prom and an annual, we decided to begin our preparations early. Each suggestion for in- creasing our funds was welcomed and used to good advfantageeon November 8th the sale of forget-me-nots. and a bazaar and bake sale on December Sth. We intend to be the best Iunior class Ohio City Liberty has ever had.

But with our leaders and good crew to guide us on our way We'll reach our port in 'fifty-one and there won't be any delay. Our staff consists of Busch and Smith in role of presidents: lane Anne's our scribe: Ieanette's the one who takes in all our cents: Our news is then broadcast by Shaw who fills the Totem Pole. With how we spend our leisure time and fill the studies role. The biggest job we had all year was planning many a thing To make our program for assembly have a brand new ring: It started with a student speech, then followed a duet- The Serenade of the Bells by Sharon and Ieanettey A reading next by Balliet was followed by a skit Which made some upper classmen know of course You Can't Top It. Then last of all but not the least we'll mention those few boys Who helped to fill the Warrior's team with many added joys: In every game away or home these players helped the team: A single score could not be made except for Points, Beach, Cramer or'Beam.

However, there had to be a supervising Center so the O'Citian Staff was chosen. This year the staff has striven to edit a bigger and better book than ever be- fore. A yearbook is not made up in just a week or two but takes the whole year. Each member of the staff had to work - writing, rewriting, and recopying materials. Gratefully we give you the names of our staff members: editor, Ianice Ragon: assistant editor, Charles Johnson: sports editor, Harold Adams: class editor, lean Hertel: social editor, Sylvia Hoghep snapshot editor, Darlene Eib- ling: business manager, Dorothy Mottingerg assistant business manager, Leroy Carmean: art editor, Sally Detterer: assistant art editor, Marie Medaughi and typists, Anna Lou Switzer and Betty Germann. The Staff is deeply indebted to Mr. Cress, our advisor, for his patience and helpful advice. We are likewise grateful to Mrs. Iohnson for her grammatical assistance. O'ClTIAN-Page 47 HERE COMES THE BAN ! Under the leadership of Mrs. Wurster the Ohio City-Liberty Bond has been very active since school started. Among its various activities were the Pauld- ing County Fair, Decatur's Halloween Colithumpial Festival, all the home bas- ketball games, and a Spring Concert. The band was also requested to play for the Parent Teachers The outstanding formation We used at this meeting was the flag. Mary Ellen Krugh, our drum major was awarded first place Association. at both the Paulding County Fair and the festival at Decatur. The band placed second at Paulding and third at Decatur. There is approximately fifty members in the band and only four will gradu- ate this year. We hope to have more students join the coming year. Soon after getting settled we elected the following officers: president, Doro- thy Mottinger: vice-president, Raymond Prior: secretary, Ioanne Sidle: treasurer, Betty Brunnip librarian, Mary Ellen Krugh: and news reporter, Ardyth Prichard. Our thanks we give to Mrs. Wurster for her untiring efforts in making the band a success. Page 48-O'CITIAN A OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM The Future Farmers of America is the national organization of boys study- ing vocational agriculture. This organization includes in its foundation leader- ship, sportsmanship, co-operation, service, thrift, scholarship, improved agricul- ture, organized recreation, citizenship, and patriotism. The Ohio City chapter was chartered in 1941 under the guidance of Mr. Smith. It was successful for about two years and then, due to the lack of an instructor, the organization was discontinued until Mr. Prior took the position in 1945. In 1945 we won the gold medal at the district parlimentary procedure and placed third at the Little International Livestock judging. This year we placed third at the county parlimentary procedure which gave us a right to go to Waynesfield to the district. One of our members, Dallas High, won Grand Champion, Holstein, female at the Ohio State Fair. He also Won the showmanship award. One of the outstanding events each year is the Parent and Son Banquet which was held in the school cafeteria this year. It was a huge success. Our advisor this year is Mr. Henry Prior. The officers are: president, Dal- las High: vice-president, Bob Roehm: secretary, Bob Galloway: treasurer, May- nard George: reporter, Lowell Stemen: and sentinel, Lloyd Prichard. O'CITIAN-Page 49 THE CUSTERS' LAST STAND On November 10th The Custers' Last Stand, a comedy-farce by William Fisher, was presented by the Iunior class. All the action of the play took place in the living room of the Custers' home, somewhere in Colorado. The Custers' pride is at stake when the two boys, Iimmy Custer, and Iohnny Newson, his cousin, received an insulting telegram from their future brother-in-law's aunts, the Van Ayrsdales of Boston. With the arrival of the Platts. two old-maids who are mistaken for the Bos- tonians, and with the frequent jaunts of Aunt Em and Georgy-Little Bear thru the living room, the play was pretty hilarious. Everything worked out fine in the end but what happened before this proved to be very confusing. Extra merit goes to Iohn Sigler fo ship in learning Max's part, when Max was in the hospital.

The Future Homemakers of America is the national organization of pupils studying Homemaking in Iunior and Senior high schools of the United States and Territories. The Future Homemakers of America brings together state groups interested in and working toward better home and family living, provides opportunities to share in solving problems important to home life and sponsors group projects, local, state and national in scope. The emblem of the Future Homemakers of America is octagonal in shape and bears the name of the organization, Future Homemakers of America, around the top of the plane while around the lower side of it is the motto, Toward New Horizons. In the center there is a house supported by two hands which symbolizes that the future homes of America are in the hands of its youth. Symbols-Key, Scroll. Torch, and Rose-are used to denote the four degrees of achievement. The colors of the Future Homemakers of America are red and white. The colors are symbolic of youth-youth which has courage and an un- wavering determination to succeed. The Ohio City Chapter was organized last March after some of the girls had attended a four county F. H. A. rally at Shawnee school near Lima. No business meetings were held last spring but the F. H. A. entertained the F. F. A. at a party in the Home Economics Department. During the summer one picnic meeting was held. On Friday, September 26, at a county rallv meeting. the Van Wert chapter installed our chapter. The officers are as follows: President ,..... Vice President, Secretary Treasurer ......... ..... Historian .......... ......... Song Leader ....,, ..... News Reporter ..... .Marilyn Switzer ..,,...Ioanne Sidle Ardvth Prichard .,....Bettv Brunni .Betty Mottinger ...,.Donna Krugh ..E1izabeth Croy O'CITIAN-Page 51 I... . ,- mu? tiff' ' r Y-TEENS As Y-Teens we believe in a threefold life-mental, spiritual, and physical. Each girl who joins our organization takes the following pledge: I will do my best to honor God, my country and my community, to help other girls and to be in all ways a loyal, true member of the Y-Teens. Each one finds herself a little better as she keeps before her our slogan- I will try to face life squarelyf' and our purpose, To find and give the best. As usual very capable officers have assumed their individual duties to the Y-Teens during the school year 1947-48: Rita Stahl, president: Ardyth Prichard, vice-president: Shirley Brand, secretary: Ioanne Sidle, treasurer: Patty High, Sergeant-at-arms: Patsy Rickard, pianist: Donna Krugh, song leader: Lola Mae Eibling, news reporter. We are fortunate to have for our sponsor Mrs. Iohnson, who helps us with various activities. On Friday evening, October 3, 1947, the Y-Teens held an all-high-school dance in the school auditorium. Five candidates were selected for a queen to reign over the events of the evening, and of these Darlene Eibling, a senior, received the most votes. Our county superintendent, Mr. R. G. Brand, placed the pearl-beaded crown on the winner's head, and the evening's festivities con- tinued. Refreshments were served at various intervals throughout the evening. Our Christmas meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Iarnes Iohn- son on Monday evening, December 22,l947. After the program was given, gifts were exchanged and refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. The members of the Y-Teens had charge of the concessions at the basket- ball game on Ianuary 20, 1948. The Y-Teens gave Sl0.00 to CARE. Our gift will be used to care for needy babies, and buy a few of the necessities. Page 52-O'CITIAN OUR NEWSPAPER What better name could be given the Warriors' newspaper than The Totem Pole? This revival ot our school paper began in September, 1947, under the management of Marie Meclaugh, the editor-in-chief, assisted by an excellent corps of reporters from all grades, classes, and activities. As each edition is published, we notice improvements over the previous issue: reporters are giving more time to their reports which, of course, means more interesting reading. Then, too, the typists are becoming more skillful in their work, and a lot of credit goes to them and to Mr. Donald Hampshire, one of our faculty advisors, for our paper being what it is. What troubles we have, though, before the material reaches the hands of the typists! Mrs. Iohnson, our other faculty advisor, starts in with a red pencil and when she's through some of the reports look as if the blitz had struck. Oh, of course we know split infinitives, double negatives, and lack of agree- ment in subjects and verbs are exercises in grammar, but why bother with remembering when we write reports? Maybe it we write enough ot these reports, we'll learn correct English grammar. Now, as we finish this school year, we look back with a great deal of sat- isfactiong for The Totem Pole has made each of us more aware of the activi- ties of other groups besides ourselves, and our parents have enjoyed knowing more about the various school activities. Already We are looking forward with anticipation to next year's Totem Pole. CTCITIAN-Page 53 CHORUS The chorus is really divided into three separate branches: Mixed Chorus. Girls' Glee Club, and Boys' Glee Club. During the first few weeks in each of these courses Mrs. Wurster tested our voices and finally each of us found his little niche in the tenor, bass, soprano, or alto section as the case might be, One of the highlights of the year was our assembly program which con- sisted of several vocal and instrumental numbers, climaxed by a short operetta entitled Mountain Music. Although the entire performance held the attention of the audience, Masie and Dasie's number really stole the show as they waved their handkerchiefs and gestured during their singing Ship O hoy. In order to assist the band with its many needs for uniforms, caps, etc., the vocal department gave a minstrel show, The Land of Cotton. The black faces of some of our Seniors tended to hide their good looks, but when one is sure he isn't recognized at first, he's not so afraid. Harold Adams along with Lowell Stemen, Bob Boehm, Max Kline, Iohn Taylor, Raymond Prior, and Iohn Sigler, made splendid black boys. Since this is the first time in many years that we have had a minstrel show presented by the students of our school, we are very proud of the results. Each department is indebted to the music department for their co-operation in all programs. Page 54-O'CITIAN THE JUNIOR BAND The Iunior Band is composed ot approximately forty-eight members. They meet twice a week to practice and some outside instruction is given these children regularly. We hope that through this organization we may improve our Senior Band. This group participated with the other grade children at Christmas when the band played numbers before and between operettas Woodn Shoe Christ- mas and Ye Old English Christmas. They will also take part in the spring concert. FLASH . . . A last minute bulletin before the annual goes to press. The Senior Class Play for this year is entitled Girl Shy by Katherine Kavanaugh, published by the Dramatic Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois. The play is a three-act comedy which we are sure will be a success. xx X Xxx.

Around this colorful theme our work for the annual has been interestingly divided. Hence, the references to the class as warriors bearing fictitious names. The class is divided into five Indian tribes with unique tribal emblems as shown on The Totem in the Senior section. It has made the year one heap big pow-wow. The Editor.
