Senior History Sixteen more. of us seniorss have reached the end o f our school days here at Pettisville High School. While we all look forward to beginning careers of our own, we also look back over these years with pleasure. All the activities we have partici- pated in together, such as class p l a y s, class programs, a n d parties, helped make friendships that will last a long timeg we hope all our lives. In these y e a r s, besides learning among other things each other's faults, we h e v e dis- covered many ,things about our school that we doh't like. So in this Lariat we are sponsoring the HPettisville School of Tomorrown what we to show our communitv would like to see happen at Pet- tisville. So far as we are concerned we will seniors not be directly s part of the school any longer, but to keep our theme k e y e d to the future we will attempt to tell you what time hold for us seniors when we get out of school. Judging from the past years. our futures should not be un- eventful. W e have discovered the senior class of '46 lacks no enthusiesum whfn once stirred up. The Lariat, 1946 We got off to a good start bv being properly initiated when w e entered ss Ugreenies.U As u s u a l though, we got even by initiating t h e Ngreeniesn our- selves the next year. All through high school we h a v e h a d active intramural basketball teams. 0 u r girls' team won the intramural tournap ment when we were eighth graders and again when we were seniors. The boys did as well and both our teams came out on top in the 1946 tourney here at school. Highlights of our junior end senior years, of course, were the class plays. nListen to Leon,' was our Junior production and uGabriel, Blow your Hornlu our senior play. We still declare we couldn't h e v e found e better character for Gabriel anywhere than we had in James Zook. Our class had a number of parties this year. At Halloween time w e enjoyed a masquerade party at Ilva Rupp's home. Doris Liechty gave us a Christmas party at her h o u s e, and we had a Valentine party in the music hell basement. The fact that almost everyone from the class attends all the parties makes our class exceptional. In the March of Dimes Con- test sponsored by the school the senior class in a lest minute contribution gave almost as much as the entire other side gave. One of us, Marvin Grieser, showed o u tstanding scholastic ability and placed fifth in the county in the state tests. In the history section of the test he placed first in the county. Four of us girls,Betty Rupp, I l v a Rupp. Doris Liechty. and LeAnna Sauder. participated in a county glee club which sang at the county music festival. at Delta March 12. Commencement activli t 1 e s crowded our last school days. The juniors gave us a banquet to begin them. The Rev. Andrew Rupp gave our of Upland, Indiana, baccalaureate sermon and the Rev. the Epworth Sidney A. Mayer of Methodist church in Toledo ad- dressed us at commencement. On class night we gave a circus which was Quito different from any previous senior program. The class has been active in all phases of school life: scholastic. athletic. so c 1 a l, musical. and dramatic. As we leave we honestly hope we will be remembered and missed next year. 1

His msthematicol mind was of great value in doing s o n e of the planning of our Pettlsvllle School of Tomorrow for the Lariat, and also as business manager on the annual staff. lieriin always took sn active part ln intramural sports. especially horseshoe. badminton, end ping pong. Re would sonedey like to operate a school for juvenile dellnquents to give then e. higher sim ln life. ILYA HIP? would some day like to own a restaurant of her own. She not only loves to cook. but she .loves to eat ne well. She has acquired. her ability as a g o o d cook fron her mother, and her skill at cooking was enjoyed. by the journalism students. lhen the newspaper staff worked on Pet Echoes on llondny night. I -1 I I cooked supper f o r then and no one ever felt ill from her mesls. Ilve. has alsqs had a very lssginatlve sind, and has imagined all sorts of things for her future. Some day Ilva will be a good housekeeper and a busy housewife. She w 1 1 l probably be supplying several of the guplls for our Pettisville School of Tomorrow. 2 JOAN' LEININGEHIll1 prob s b 1 y work in s store or in s factory after s h e graduates fron hgh school. Since she took hone eeoncslcs all four years we think she planned for some time to be e housewife. probably the wife of s dairy farmer. Joan played sn active part in sports by being cheerleader for four years. She is likely to Isnt to keep this in the Yaully, and will probably send someone to the Pettisvllle School of Tomorrow to take hor place. Joan seemed to be quite interested in intramural sports. especially Badmin- ton. She shosod her ability as s ndneoscope operator while working on the annual. Joan may even be a circus performer judging fron her acrobntlc ability. She likes to turn csrtwheels and lf properly dressed would pass for a clown. DEIICLR G-LUTSCBI almost seesed to be condemned by his classmates to be s farmer. In the survey that res made in the senior class. everyone agreed that Delmar would b e the farmer of the group. He prepared for this in school in the snsll way that he could by taking agriculture. He will probably be a good farmer since he has lived on a farm all his life. Delmar agrees that he will likely 'oe a farmer. specializing 1 n either tomatoes or carrots. Delmar played o n the teal that lon the class chalplonshlp in bhketbsll. He also took part in lost of the intramural sports during his senior year.
