Children are introduced to the fundamentals of learning--readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic. They also learn to appreciate good stories, as is shown in the top picture where their teacher, Mrs. Lindley,is reading to them.

The foundation Z5 made After the cornerstone is laid in the first grade, the real work on the foun- dation is begun in the second grade.

The walls of the building of know- ledge begin to rise in the third grade, based on the foundation which was laid in the earlier grades. The students' supply of building materials is enlarged and made even more interesting by the addition of new and different ubricksu. The bricks of multiplication and division are introduced for the first time, as a preparation for later mathematics. In the third grade, for Tfg eytj it :Sl B saw-Y E '1!

In September the civics class with Mr. Springer visited the Union Station in Toledo. The class showed enthusiasm by leading its team to victory in the March of Dimes con- test. In April, the class took the eighth grade scholarship tests. As a result, Junior Beck placed first in the class, Judith Weber, second, and Mable Ann Rupp, third. Howard Snyder was elected pres- ident of this rambunctious class of twenty-nine eighth graders. L e o n W a i delich was vice-president, and Judy Weber was secretary-treasurer. The class enjoyed a hayride which was held April 27. Before Shirley Short withdrew early in the spring, the class gave a farewell party in her honor. A Christmas party was also held. A group of eighth grade boys is pictured below in the shop,which was formerly a part of the bus shed. Hr. Pollock, the class sponsor, is di- recting the activity.

By the time the ninth grade is reached, the shape o f each student's building of learning can be pretty well determined. In this first year of high school, the shaping up of the last four years is begun. Last fall, on September 28, the sophomores did a good job of initiating these freshman ngreen- ies,W making them feel as foolish a n d excited as all freshman classes do. After Jean Beck and Donald Burkholder quit school during the winter, the freshmen tied with the seniors for the honor of be- ing the smallest class in school! There were only sixteen new addi- tions to the high school enroll- ment this year. The class elected athlet- ically minded Shari Weber a s their president. Kenneth Miller was voted in as vice-president. The secretary of this compara- tively quiet class is Margaret Rupp, Rachel Frey is the trea- surer. In the picture at the top of the page, a group of freshman girls was interrupted i n the midst of a sewing session.

The sophomore home eco- nomics girls cooked and served the dinner with which the faculty entertained the school board members and their wives at their March party. The sophomore boys seem to be quite interested in the FFA since six of them are active neumers. To serve as leaders, this class chose Lowell Ayers as president,Marlin Beck as vice- president, and Claudette Rupp as secretary-treasurer. Miss Wyse sponsored the class. During the winter months, Doris Beck withdrew from the class.

Curtis Spengler was vice-president, Edith Haskell, secretary, and Darold Riegsecker, treasurer. To help meet expenses, the juniors sold sandwiches one-third of the year and candy the entire year. The candy business was a profitable one since each child in the entire school bought an average of 83.50 worth of candy during the year. Another means of money-raising, and also enjoyment, was the junior class play. On January 25, the cast of nEver Since Even was chosen by several teachers. The following people won roles: R o s e t t a Schrock, John Rychener, Dale Klopfenstein, Curtis Spengler, Edith Haskell, June Gil- son, Glenda Frey, Ralph Gasche, Richard McBride, Marilyn Frey, James Waidelich, Ralph Bruner, Wesley Wyse,Gerald Nafziger, and Ervin Miller. when Rosetta broke her ankle,Shirley Nofziger took over her part.

The play, given April 6, was well accepted by a large audience of over boo people. Since the juniors were handicapped by the lack of an auditorium at Pettisville, the production had to be given at the Wauseon Memorial Audi- torium. Mr. Ray directed the production. May L was a day of unusual activity for the juniors. On this day, they gave a beau- tiful banquet in honor of the senior class. It was built around a nMother Goose Landn theme. However, the joy of the occasion was dimmed by the thought of the afternoon auto- mobile accident, which injured three junior boys, Dale Klopfenstein, James Waidelich, and Wesley Wyse, who had been working on the banquet.

Dependable Arlene Back could always be counted on to do any job well. Arlene usually was silent as a sphinx and yet watchful as a cat. Clarence Bruner was the most energet- ic boy in the class. He took an active part in the musical organizations. Corny jokes were Clarence's faithful stan by. The girl with the bouldless pep and energy was Margie Burkholder. Hargie's 'hobbies were giggling, talking, running a- round, and flirting with all the boys. The boy whose term papers were always turned in late was Richard Gautsche. M ch of his time was spent in FFA activities as president. Richard had a clever remark ready for any occasion. Marilyn Gearig has the enviable com- bination of blond curly hair and blue eyes. This vivacious senior girl enjoyed singing as one of her pastimes. Marilyn was Hr. Spr1nger's busy secretary. Roger Gilson's tall lanky frame could be seen whenever a ball game of any sort was in progress. Because of his sports- manship,both on the ball field and in the schoolroom, he was given the Babe Ruth award at the end of the year. Roger de- lighted in teasing the girls. The shyest member of the senior class was Ruth Gisel. She was always prompt and c o n s cientious. Ruth was Hr. Pollock's secretary during her senior year. Lester King's perpetual cackle could be heard any time and anywhere during his school life. It's a wonder that the chem- istry laboratory is still whole after all the nexperimenting' 'Simit' did there. The tallest girl in the class was Anna Rose Heller. Her pleasant personality and smile won her many friends. Fern Hell was usually quiet and non- chalant. Her fondness for eating, espec- ially olives, got her into some u usual situations. Olive Juice poured out of an upstairs window inevitably hits the fourth grade windows below. As a result, Fern became a window washer for a short while. Anna Nofziger could be seen carrying home a big pile of books every night. Her ability to give orders made her a leader of the class. The most studious individual in the class was Sarah Jane Robinson. An able leader, fun-loving, and always busy, Sarah never refused to do something for a friend. She was given both the citizenship and sportsmanship awards. Another hard-working senior was Ber- nice Rupp. She studied hard, but could take time out for fun, too. Bernice col- lected scholastic certificates as some people collect souveniers. Rosa Waidelich will really go places if she works as much as she giggled. Her rosy cheeks aptly fit her nickname,'RosieW Each morning she could be seen going from room to room, gathering the absence slips. The senior girl with the ability for making speeches was Emogene Zinnmrman. Al- though well prepared,she always complained of Wunpreparednessn. Emogene's hobby was either evading a study hall or sleeping through it. A girl whose interests were in the commerical field was Martha May Zimmerman.

These twenty-three freshmen elected Bernice Rupp as their president, Roger Gilson as vice- president, and Sarah Jane Robinson as sec- retary-treasurer. Mr. Ray sponsored the class. As a project, the home economics girls sold sandwiches. They used the pro- fits to pay for more than half of the com- bination dishwasher-disposal and electric mixer purchased for use in the home eco- nomics department. Sarah Jane Robinson was president during the sophomore year. Marilyn Gearig was vice-president, and Shirley Grime,sec- retary-treasurer. Mr. Ray again sponsored the class. As an English project, t h e class gave the play WEvening Clothesn under the direction of Miss Wyse. All of the class was in the play. Margie Burkholder,Lester King, Sarah Jane Robinson, Roger Gilson, Anna Nofziger, and Bernice Rupp had the leading parts. As president for the junior year, the class chose Lester King. The vice-presi- dent was Margie Burkholder, and the secre- tary-treasurer was Anna Nofziger. Miss Hostetler sponsored the class. One of the high spots in the year was the production of the play nBrother Goosen on April 20 and 21. Anna Nofziger and Roger Gilson played the leading roles. The play was directed by Mr. Ray. The junior-senior trip to Columbus took place the latter part of Apr i l. Several institutions and radio and televi- sion studios were visited. On May 6, the class gave a banquet for the seniors and faculty members. The banquet was built around a southern theme. One third of the junior year was spent selling sandwiches, while candy was sold the entire year. Lester King was elected president for the senior year. Sarah Jane Robinson was vice-president, and Anna Nofziger was sec- retary-treasurer. Sarah Jane Robi n s o n served as nresident of the Student Council the p a s t year. Lester King was vice- president and Bernice Rupp was secretary. Early in the fall, the seniors gave their class play, WFor Love and Money.n S a r a h Jane Robinson and Roger Gilson played the leading roles. Because of the lack of boys,John Rychener and Wesley Wyse of the junior class had parts in the play. The production was given in the Wauseon Memorial Auditorium because of the building project at Pettisville School, which occupied the entire year. Bernice Rupp, Anna Nofziger, Sarah Jane Robinson, and Richard Gautsche took the senior scholarship tests in Wauseon. As a result of these tests. Bernice Rupp placed fourth in the county, Anna Nofziger was fifth,and Sarah Jane Robinson received honorable mention. Because of the size of t h e junior class, the practice of an annual junior- senior trip was dropped. Instead, a sen- ior trip was taken.

The class scholastic honors w e r e awarded to Bernice Rupp and Anna Nofziger. Bernice was valedictorian and Anna was salutatorian. All of the graduation exercises were held at the Memorial Auditorium in Wause- on. The baccalaureate service was held May 20. The sermon was given by Rev. Bertsche of the Archbold Evangelical Men- nonite Church. May 22 was the date of the commencement exercises, at which Dr. Carl Kreider, acting president of Goshen Col- lege, Goshen, Indiana, spoke o n nEarth- quakes.N The last event the seniors took part in was class night, May 2b. A short playlet and the valedictory and salutatory addresses were given then. The coveted citizenship award for the best school citizen was given to Sarah Jane Robinson, as a result of voting by the faculty and class presidents. The Babe Ruth sportsmanship awards, again pre- sented this year, were given to Sarah Jane Robinson and R o g e r Gilson by vote of grades seven through twelve. Buzifdzirzg CLlZMf6?

Mr. Edington encouraged solo and en- semble work as a means to improve group participation. As a result of this en- couragement, a clarinet quartet was formed consisting of Phyllis Schmucker, R a 1 p h Bruner, Carol Vonier, and Delight Grieser. This group entered the solo and ensemble contest at Bowling Green and received an excellent rating. A trumoet trio was also formed, com- posed of Shari Weber, Shirley Wanner, and Louise Schultz. This group also entered the contest. They were awarded an excel- lent rating for their number. the year an orchestra was During formed. It consisted mostly of students five through ten. The group from grades played the processional, UPomp and Circum- stance,N at Commencement w i t h several other numbers. Considering the youth and inexperience of the group, they gave an excellent performance.

Early in September, new FFA offi- cers were elected for the 1950-51 fis- cal year. They were Richard Gautsche, president, James Waidelich, vice-pres- identg Waldo Aeschliman,- secretary, C l a r ence Bruner, treasurer, Lowell Ayers and Merrill Nofziger, reporters, Paul Grieser, sentinel, R. H. Pollock, adviser. The chapter was very active dur- ing the year. To raise money the group sold greeting cards,had scrap iron and paper drives, sold advertisements for a local FFA calendar,bought and resold the rough lumber used to support the roof of the auditorium during remodel- ing, and built and sold a hog house. The boys defeated a neighboring chapter in a pest contest. Several groups entered district FFA contests. The chapter purchased a gilt, to start a chain, at the annual sale held at the fair grounds. It bought ping- pong equipment and some table games. The chapter donated 325 to charity. The FFA gave the home economics girls a party in the winter, which the girls returned in the spring. -I. V f q, .ar K .. - . . ,- . One of the projects of the FFA was clearing the lot west of the bus shed. The boys were given the use of the ground on condition that they keep the weeds down. They planted the land to cane and corn. Roger Schmitz was given the responsibility of taking care of it during the summer. Part of the lot was formerly a peach orchard. In the upper pic ture, several of the boys are at work clearing the orchard. Left to right: Lowell Meller, Clarence Bruner, Ervin M i 1 l er, Colenzo Short, Gerald Nafziger, James Waidelich. A total of 2,7L3 pests, such as spar- rows, starlings, pigeons, mice, and rats, was caught during the contest held in the spring. The lower picture was taken at the Oscar Gautsche home. The boys displaying their pests are Clarence Bruner, Ervin Miller, Lowell Maller, Gerald Nafzi g e r, Colenzo Short, Richard Gautsche, and James Waidelich. During the paper drive, also spon- sored by the FFA, fifteen tons of scrap paper was collected. The boys received an average of twenty dollars a ton for their efforts.

Besides producing the paper, the class also spent much time on workbooks. At the beginning of the year the class numbered an even ten, but Mary Jo Miley moved to Indiana after the first semester, leaving nine members. As an extra project, aside from their regular newspaper work,the jour- nalism class undertook the job of re- decorating their class room. A great deal of work was spent sanding and re- varnishing the furniture and woodwork. A waffle supper, given April 26, high- lighted the completion of this project In the top picture,the members of the journalism class are shown at work assembling the newspaper.

There is a great deal of work connected with running even a small school library. Much of this responsi- bility fell on Jueldine Nofziger, who was appointed head librarian. Among the many duties of the librarians, pos- sibly the most important one is check- ing out books. They also were respon- sible for the neatness of the library. Delta state library books again expand- ed t h e amount of reading material available for the entire school. Bookmenders too have a large role to play in keeping the library func- tioning. They did a good job of mend- ing both grade school and high school books. Donnabelle Riegsecker, also a bookmender, was absent the day the pic- ture was taken. Bookm en dere Smdenf Connex?

Their job is to keep the equipment in good condi- tion and see that it is taken to every game. Orval Sauder and Jim Rupp served as basketball managers. Jim Rupp also was the manager of the baseball team. The cheerleaders lead the school yells at the pep meetings before each game and at the games themselves. They also belong to the booster committee. n s n , f' . frf Senior high cheerleaders: J u n e Gilson, Edith Haskell, Claudette Rupp, Delight Grieser. Picture at left: Orval Sauder, Jim Rupp. This year the varsity was composed of six boys. Roger Gilson played cen- terg Ralph Gasche, John Rychener, and Jim Waidelich, forward, Ralph Bruner and Paul Grieser, guard. During the season five games were wen and lb were lost. Although its record was not any better than last year, the team showed considerable improvement in play. Since only one member of the squad is a senior, a good nucleous is left senior for next year. However, the center,Roger Gilson,will be very great- ly missed, as he scored a large number of points with his hook and laysup shots. Roger was also elected honor- ary captain by his teammates. The reserve team was also composed of six boys. Mr. Rex coached both the varsity and reserve teams. At least one of the reserves will be advanced to the varsity next year, since the re- serves are preparation for the more ad- vanced standing of varsity. Junior high cheerleaders: Judith Weber, Kathryn Krieger. The junior high team did an ex- cellent job this year. Thirteen sev- enth and eighth graders participated. There were no freshmen on the team. They broke even against freshman compe- tition, however, and lost only one game to an eighth grade team. Roger Schmitz, Charles Rupp, How- ard Snyder, Charles Schmucker, Junior Beck, and Larry Grieser played most of the first-string games. The seventh graders of the group played four games and were unbeaten. A11 of the basketball teams were greatly hindered by practice difficul- ties. All practicing had to be done in the Wauseon Memorial Auditorium. The junior high team was able to practice only three hours a week. Tournament Date Opponent P.H.S.

They sold rs- freshments at each home game. The boosters sponsored a to- bogganing party for the varsi- ty and reserve squads at Poka- gon State Park, Lake James, Indiana. An all-athletic ban- quet was also held at the Ted- row Methodist church. On t w o occasions various groups of players, boosters, and coaches were entertained at feeds given by Mrs. Kenneth Grieser and Mrs. Edwin Speng- ler and by the W.H. Rycheners.

It was possible to shift players' positions suc- cessfully. The entire team, with the ex- ception of the two seniors, will be back next year.

The intramural sports program was ra- ther restricted this year because of the building program, However, a basketball tournament was held on the tennis court. The finals were played off in March at the Wauseon Memorial Auditorium. Refreshments were served by the grades that lost the March of Dimes contest. The above pictures were taken on that occasion. Winners were the junior girls and the sen- ior boys, There was also a softball league in the spring, but no tournament.

Buhdfhg fh rough brain and bro wn In the making of any building, it is usually the actual construction that peo- ple think of, rather than the planning which has gone into the project. However, the work of those behind the scenes is just as important. Several years of hard work were spent planning the new addition to Pettisville High School before the ac- tual building began. Since the school board is the moti- vating force behind all school activities, their main interest during the year natu- rally was planning and supervising the building project. The addition, which is nearing com- pletion, will alleviate the crowded condi- tion of the past few years. This condi- tion was brought about by the gradual growth of the school. The addition is on the south side of the building. The re- modeled and enlarged auditorium-gymnasium now contains the third largest gymnasium floor in the county. One of the main features in the addi- tion is the large cafeteria with its ad- joining kitchen, which is located in the excavated section. Also in that section are athletic dressing rooms--much larger than the former ones. Above the cafeteria is the music de- partment. It contains soundproof rehears- al rooms which will prevent the sounds of music from floating all over the school building. There are also music storage rooms and an office for the m u s i c instructor. The new stage is at the south end of the gymnasium. There are two stage dress- ing rooms just off the stage proper. These will make it much easier to produce plays in the future. Also included in the addi- tion is an office for the physical educa- tion director, which will overlook the gymnasium. At the southeast end of the addition the farm shop is located, in much larger quarters than the remodeled bus shed form- erly afforded. The agriculture room re- mains unchanged. While the administration's main in- terest has been the new building, the fac- ulty as usual centered their interests on the students. Their job is building the characters of the boys and girls who come to school every day. Kindergarten, where the children go for their first schooling,was again taught by Mrs. Florence Porter. After kindergar- ten, the children enter the first grade, which was taught by Mrs. Florence Lindley. The second and third grades were taught by Miss Margaret Buckmaster and Mrs. Betty Rex, respectively. Miss Sadie Miller was the fourth grade teacher again this year. There were no new teachers in the elementary grades. Miss Alta Spiess has been teaching the fifth grade ever since the school began-- for twenty-two years. The sixth grade teacher again was Mrs. Mildred Rychener. There was only one new addition to the high school faculty. Miss D o r i s Liechty, a graduate of Pettisville, was the new home economics, general science, and girls' physical education teacher. All of the high school English classes were taught by Miss Ruth K. Wyse. She also taught journalism and a class in first- year French. Mrs. Jean Oyer taught the regular commercial courses, with the addi- tions of s e v e n t h and eighth grade mathematics. Mr. S. M. Gottschalk,filling his cap- acity as superintendent, kept school life running as smoothly as can be expected when there are A00 students involved.
