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. The juniors climaxed their year by ush- ering at the senior commencement activities. in the eleventh grade

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. Her motto could very well be,nSeen but not hearden , .EEH1 mm Fil' mmm Q c xx N 1,439 .lj xg. -aff-3 'E U m m' ff 23 Zn the tvveffrh grade
