SENICDRS ' On September 15, 1945 a most unusual senior c l a s s enrolled. with fifteen members, it was the smallest in the h 1 s t o r y o f Pettisville High School, but still more striking was the ratio of two boys to thirteen girls. Before the end of the first semester June Yoder withdrew, leaving only four- teen in the group. Marthella Rucp was chosen to head the class with John Weber as vice-president and Velma Frey as secretary-treasurer. Miss Wyse be- came faculty adviser. Responding to the appeal of the local ration board for commer- cial students to assist in its office work, the members of the shorthand 2 class went to Wauseon on October 25. They spent the day filing ration applications. Each senior proved his ability at salesmanship in the selling of personalized stationery and greet- ing cards. This class project was conducted for two weeks in January and resumed the last of February for several weeks. The Proceeds from the sales went into the class treasury. J The seniors presented an en- tertaining assembly program January l8. Each member planned and con- tributed one n u m b e r. Musical numbers and poetry reading pre- domlnated, while John Weber proved -5- himself a successful comedian to the astonishment of his classmates and the rest of the school. The senior pictures and pic- tures for the uLar1atN were taken January 25 by photographers from the L e o n e Studios of Sturgis, Michigan. Mama's Angel Childn, a three- act comedy, was successfully pre- sented February ll to a fair-sized audience. Shirley Frey, a fresh- man, took an important role in the play. Each member of the cast gave a good interpretation of his part, while special mention should be made of the portrayal by Kathryn Beck and Alta Burkholder of their difficult masculine parts. Irene Snyder, Freida Seller, Marthslla Rupp, and John Weber were the other members of the cast. Of course the senior b o y s d1dn't have any intramural basket- ball team, but the girls did their part by winning both the league and the tournament. Brown and gold were chosen as the class colors, and the class flower was the pansy. With the realization that the present train- ing and application of youth will figure largely in its future con- tribution, the class chose as its motto, Wwith the ropes of t h e present we will ring the bells of the future.?

Although the first grade teacher's name has changed from what it was her first three years of teaching, she is still the same person. On June 5, 1945 occurred t h e marriage of Miss Helen Rychener to Sgt. David Sprimer, who was social science teacher and coach at Pettis- ville before his induction into the army in 1942.

S The activity of the second graders which attracted most attention during the year was their contributions to Pet Echoes. Apparently every child had a pet of some kind which he wrote aboutg and other common items were about calves, little pigs, or chicks, as well as baby brothers and sisters. The second graders led the War Stamp sale nearly all year. 4 The second grade made up the rythm band which was directed by Irs. Springen The band performed at the Christmas program, and Gene Richer also sang s solo. It also played for the Mothers' Group. Nearly all of the class had the measles, so the grade was closed for a week from February seventh to fourteenth. A group of advanced home economics girls gave the s e c o n d graders a Thanksgiving party November 24. They had n gift exchange at their Christmas party.

Donald Wanner headed the class as president, Geneva Rupp was vice-president, and Martha Miller was secretary-treasurer. Since all the full-time high school teachers had positions as sponsors, Er. Ray served as seventh grade adviser in addition to sponsoring the juniors. Completely new subjects this year were home economics for the girls and shop for the boys. The girls hemmed towels and made aprons the first semester and planned and prepared breadfasts the last semester. In shop the boys made bookshelves, broom-holders, and garden markers. The seventh graders became better acquainted with their own neighborhoods when each one made a map of the section in which he lived as a project in geog- raphy. The location of farms, ditches, railroads, and woodlots in the sections were shown on the maps. Each student who lived on a farm als drew a map showing the layout of his home farm. On January 7 the class presented two entertaining playlets as their share of the assembly program which was given with the commercial groups.

Victor Frakera was a new student at the beginning of the year, and Harold Stout enrolled on January 3. The freshmen became full-fledged members of high school on September 25 when the girls appeared with pigtails tied with green ribbons, wearing short green dresses and their fathers' shoesg while the boys presented equally ridi- culous appearances. They were minus shoes, and wore shorts and straw hats as well as green ribbons in their hair. The girls carried trucks and the b o y s dolls. In the evening the sophomores gave them a party in the home economics room. Dorothy Burkholder was chosen as president,Stanley Zeigler vice-president, and Shirley Frey secretary-treasurer. Mr. Gottschalk was class sponsor. One of the big events in the freshmen's year w a s the pest contest they held with the sophomores for several weeks ending March l. The freshmen were the losers so they feted the w 1 n n 1 n g team in the home economics room on March 22. They also enjoyed parties at Halloween and Christmas. Toward t h e end of the year they gave a return party to the sophomores. The freshman girls had a lively intramural basketball team which wrung several victories from the upper classmen. B o t h the boys' and girls' teams were runners-up in the intramural tournaments. ' Edith Buerge and Dorothy Surkholder solved the problem of the shortage of domestic workers in the Gottschalh home by taking care of Terry in the after- noons for the last twelve weeks of school. . The freshmen were in charge of the assembly program on May 19. Several of the boys of the class were out fKf for basketball, baseball, and track.

The vacancy problems were solved when Mr. Kunkle, who is teaching st Wauseon, agreed to take over the band two periods a week, and Mrs. Rychener took charge of the grade and high school vocal music. Music organizations numbered five this year: second grade rhythm band, junior chorus, girls' glee club, mixed chorus, and band. The big event of the year for all the high school music groups was the spring concert given May 12, to a large crowd. The various choruses contributed the first half and the band gave the last half of the program. The rhythm band, which Mrs. Springer directed, appeared at the Christmas program and also played for a meeting of the Mothers' Group. Some sixth graders and the seventh and eighth grades made up the junior chorus which contributed numbers to the December meeting of the Mothers' Group and at the Christmas program. The group sang Lullaby by Mozart and Fox and Hounds. a Jugo- Slav folk song, at the annual spring concert. Girls' glee club was composed of all the girls in the upper four grades who wished to take music.

The letterman's association is mainly an honorary group, made up of the boys who have won letters for athletics and the faculty athletic committee. The association also helps to set some of the requirements for winning letters and chooses which senior member of the booster committee will receive the letter for outstanding work in that group. Major letters are given for basketball and minor letters for baseball and track. To be eligible for a basketball letter one must have played in one-half of the total number of quarters in a season's games. A baseball letter is earned by playing in one-half of the innings in both the spring and fall seasons, and for track the letters are given on the basis of points earned in trackmeets.

Deserted after the last day of school until September rolls around again, the empty halls and rooms seem to echo reminiscences of the fifteen years of school activities to whgch they have been witnesses. Although the rooms are empty, the grounds at times are not altogether de- serted for the tennis court, the swings, and tetters are put to use each day of the summer. . The school building, although it is only a symbol of the institution of education, stands for the interest of the community in its youth and w1l1'a1- ways bring up school day memories to us who have received our education here.
