CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1941, we attained sufficient knowledge to enter high school as Freshmen. For some reason, the upper and lower classes never seemed to appreciate us. Of course, we all realized that we were the laughing stock of the school, but that seemed to be the least of our worries. With this year being our last, we have been striving for the past four years for something by which Pember- ville can remember the class of '45. We re- ceived our wish because the boys of the Sen- ior class, with the help of a couple of Sopho- more and Iunior boys, took the Wood County Championship in Basketball, of which we are very proud. We began our Freshman year with 31 members. During the year we were sorry to have Frances Stockton and Bernard Kern leave us. We elected the following officers: President ............., Ruth Hebler Vice President ..,,......, Dick Rahe Secretary .... ,,,.... L uther Henline Treasurer .,,..... Frances Stockton Annual Reporter . . Ann Chamberlain After Frances Stockton left us. we elected Victor Kohring to fill the vacancy of Treas- urer. We had a weiner roast in Dick Rahe's woods, where we played all kinds of games. Mr. Iackson. our sponsor, prepared a Hallowe'en Party for us in his home. He gave a prize for the best dressed, of which Mary Iane Witker was the winner. played many games. In December we had a dance in Ioann Sander's barn. Later in the evening into the house for lunch. In February we had a sleigh ride party. Before we got away from the school, we tipped over. We enjoyed all the parties we had dur- ing our Freshman Year. September soon flew around again with 28 members entering their second year in high school. Our class officers were: President .... . . , Ann Chamberlain Vice President .......... Rita Knight Secretary ..,.,.. .... D ale Bnining We also we went Treasurer ......... Lavonne Peoples Annual Reporter .... Shirley Schwan We were sorry to have Donald Peters, Curt Wentland, and John Hiser leave us. We heartily welcomed Kathryn Dierksheide and Bruce Ehmke into our midst. Again we found Mr. Iackson as our class sponsor. We held a weiner roast at Victor Kohring's, where we played many games during the evening. This year we were proud to have Melvyn Beck, Luther Henline, and Victor Kohring on the Varsity Team in Basketball. Four other boys were on the second team. Several were on the Baseball team, which made us feel very proud. At the beginning of our Iunior Year, Mrs. Coller assumed the responsibility of sponsor- ing our jolly class. We had 27 members. The following were the officers for the Iunior Year: President ,........... Luther Henline Vice President . . . . Lavonne Peoples Secretary ...... .... V ictor Kohring Treasurer .......,,...,. Ruth Hebler Annual Reporter ..,.... Melvin Beck Our class colors were red and white. We were very sorry to lose Ernest Sabo, Richard Tong, and Arthur Wegman. We greeted Eugene Thomas from Genoa into our midst. The first great event of the year was the receiving of our class rings. We increased our treasury by sponsor- ing a supper for the businessmen and farm- ers of this community. The second great event was the Iunior Play entitled, Tell It to the Marines. under the direction of Mrs. Grace White. In May came perhaps the biggest and greatest event of the year, our Iunior-Senior Reception. It was held in the high school auditorium, which was decorated with a May Pole and spring colored streamers. We re- ceived many compliments on the decorations. There was also plenty of good food. The year which we have looked forward to. has come at last. We are Seniors, twenty- -5

three in number. This year we are happy to have as our sponsor, Miss Geraldine Curl. The first great event of the year was the photographing of our beautiful and handsome faces at the Dickens' Studio in Fostoria, Octo- ber 20. Our officers for the year are as fol- lows: President ........... Edwin Hapgood Vice President A,,....,, Dale Bruning Secretary .r,,...... Shirley Schwan Treasurer .........., Luther Henline Annual Reporter .....,.. Lois Thone We were very sorry to lose Rita Knight, Warren Brolhost, and Doris Iividen. We were glad to welcome Coleen Pollard into our midst. We held a chicken supper November 16 in the auditorium. We planned a program and also raffled off a turkey and a duck. December 23 we had a Christmas Party at the school house. We played games for about two hours and then all opened our presents. After that we served a very nice lunch. We chose our class colors, motto, caps. gowns, invitations and name cards in Ianuary. We had a party for the Basketball Team at Wolfe's. It was sponsored by the Senior girls and the rest of the boys who weren't on the team. We had little basketballs for their name cards, and also had pennants hung on the walls. A very nice lunch was served and everyone enjoyed the party. The Baccalaureate Service was held on May 13, under the direction of Rev. T. G. Buntz of the Lutheran Church. The Commencement Service was held May 16. We have come to the end of our 'four years together. We shared many hours of work and play. The teachers have put up with all our pranks and ministered to our minds for four long years. We are sorry to leave fellow students in other classes, and wish them all many happy hours to come. As we say farewell, we want them to know we really appreciate all the hours they spent with us. After graduation some will go one way, and some another, but our memories of the Pemberville High School days can never be erased. CLASS PHOPHECY OF 1945 Time: 1955 Place: Pacific Ocean The large, well-known ocean liner Pem- beretta is enroute to Hawaii. On board we find four members of the Class of 1945. They are Mr. and Mrs. Victor Kohring and Mr. and Mrs. Dale Bruning, who have decided to va- cation at Hawaii. As we listen in, we are just in time to hear them talk about their classmates. Ruth: This surely has been a lovely trip. So far, I have enjoyed every minute of it. Alethea: I truthfully can say the same. It certainly was swell we could all take this trip together. Ruth: I only wish all of our good old class- mates could be with us. Dale: That surely would be nice, but that's wishing a little too much. Alethea: Yes, I'm afraid it is, 'cause most of them are either tied down with a family'or work. Ruth: I guess that's right. We were cer- tainly lucky to have our parents keep our children. Alethea: I guess so. I wonder if lunior and Carolyn will get homesick for us? Ruth: I'm just afraid our twins will. Alethea: I imagine our two youngsters will, too. Ruth: I bet the twins really keep mother busy. They do me. I don't see how Shirley gets anything done with her four children. Alethea: I don't either. They really are livewires, too. It surely is a good start for a football team. Dale: I don't even know where some of our classmates are or what they are doing. Victor: I don't know either. Our class really scattered soon after graduation. Ruth: It surely did. Since we are just settled here with nothing much to do, let's just count them up and see where they are and what they are doing. Alethea: That's a good idea! We've al- ready mentioned Shirley, and since Melvin is the head of that family, we won't have to say any more about him.
