It is located across from the school on the Fred Lehman property. Its crooked trunk has captured the attention of many students. This bridge is a landmark in Pettisville which is familiar to many students who ride busses. It is situated on Main Street and crosses one of the two creeks running through Pettisville. This property was purchased by the school board from the estate of Mr. Henry Rupp. lt will be used for further enlargement of the school grounds. These kindergarteners enter school for the first time with Dennis Rittichier, Jerry Reinking, Sylvia Correa, .md curiosity and excitement written on their faces. They are Nancy Graber. The Stor of the Year The school year of 1958-59 turned the seniors loose in fields of opportunity and brought kindergarteners into realms of education. It marked the end of elementary school for the sixth graders and opened doors of high school to grade seven. School opened September 2, 1958, with an enrollment of 567. This was a decrease of seven from last year. With the opening of school came several new faces among the faculty members. Miss Grace E. Cron, a graduate of Bowling Green State University, was the new music director. Miss Cron taught at Sycamore High School the previous year. The new science teacher was Mr. Robert Leeper, who formerly taught at Edgerton. A former teacher at Toledo University, Mrs. Marian Richley, became the new math teacher. Miss Mary Heuer began ner teachmg career this fall as the new sixth grade teacher, She is a graduate of BGSU. Another new face in the profession was that of Mrs. Mazie Fisher. She entered BGSU as a grandmother at the age of 52. Her position in the second grade at Pettisville is her first teaching job. Mrs. Miriam Rose, a graduate of Taylor University, became the new fourth grade teacher. Mrs. Rose, a native of Kansas, formerly taught at Blue Island, Ill. Prin. Ray's office was moved from its previous location to the southeast corner of the high school second floor. The office is a converted faculty women 's restroom. Making reference to his old office, Mr. Ray commented, This one is sort of like a private pigeon roost, but I prefer it to a bus station. A flCfl0I'1 library was organized in Mr. Ray's former office near the study hall. This relieved the overcrowded condition of the small library in study hall. The books were moved by some of Miss Wyse 's rule breakers, the gum-chewers. Others, however, who were good, also helped. The senior English class spent some time cataloging the new library, but left the job unfinished because of lack of time for otherwisej, The new teachers discuss the year ahead of them. They are Miss Grace E. Cron, music, Mr. Robert Leeper,scienceg Mrs. Marian Richley, mathematics, Mrs. Mazie Fisher, grade 25 Miss Mary Heuer, grade 65 Mrs. Miriam Rose, grade 4. ABOVE: Prin.

Rhoda N afziger headed the 1959 Lariat staff which began laying yearbook plans early in the school year. Her assistant editors were Suzy Frey, Roseyn Rychener, and Rachel Porter. This staff, composed of 26 students, worked fast and furiously to get this book finished in time for fall delivery. The students held regular meetings after school on Wednesdays and put in many additional extra hours. Miss Ruth K. Wyse again advised the production of the book. john Goertz was editor-in-chief of Volume 29 of Pet Echoes which, as usual, began its weekly publication of school and community news shortly after school began. The paper won a superior rating at the NODJA convention at Bowling Green in the spring. Eight other juniors and seniors were in the journalism class, which published the paper. The staff members worked nearly every free period and every Monday after school. This staff broke records of former years and had the paper finished soon after school hours on Monday, and several times before school was dismissed. The bookmobile from Napoleon replaced the Delta Public Library system this year. The mobile came once every six weeks. Each class was permitted to borrow approximately thirty books each time. It served both school and community and made stops in Pettisville during the summer. With most of the rest of the United States, Pettisville swung in hula hoops. Nearly every morning, someone got tangled up in a hoop that was out in the aisle of the school bus. In general, the craze caused general confusion. Among the services to the school was that of the milkman from the Babcock Dairy. Also, every day Gustave Goertz brought the mail from the post office. That was usually no slight job. New sewing machines were bought for the home economics department. They represent the last word in this type of equipment with ultra modern cabinet styling. A new stove was also bought for the home economics kitchens. A ABOVE: Luana Wyse and Sandra Stuckey try to keep the hoops going around.

Springer, Mr. William Minner, Mr. Robert Leeper, Mrs. Thelma Rychener, Mrs. Marian Richley, Miss Ruth K. Wyse, Prin. Mark Ray, Mrs. Grace I-Ioltzmuller, and Miss Ellen Rakestraw. THIRD: A business matter is taken up by the board mem- bers as they discuss the prob- lems conceming the school. The board members are Mr. Dale Beck, Mrs. Miriam Ray, Mr. Earl Weber, Supt. D. E. Springer ,Mr. Victor Rupp, Mr. Claude Rupp, Mr. Paul Smith. BOTTOM: Alice Coertz, Clem- ma Guerrero, and Shirley Dis- brow are working on their home economics projects. They are using the new sewing machines. The national sport, baseball, highlighted the sports pages in the fall and spring months of the school year. ln the fall Pettisville was undefeated. In the spring the record dropped with several losses. Coach Dencel Miller and his crew of baseball boys won the county runners-up honors. Fulton was the champion. Another of many annual events was the freshman-sophomore party, replacing the former initiation. The sophomores gave the first party and later the freshmen gave one in return. A film was shown at each party, the first entitled The Fuller Brush Girl , the second, Country Fair. Refreshments were served. The Board of Education mer regularly to discuss problems. Among them were new building plans, hiring a new superintendent to replace Mr. D. E. Springer who resigned in the spring, budgets, finances, accoustics in the auditorium, heating, lights on the baseball diamond, summer activities, and new teachers. Their problems were many and varied, but the board did a fine job of solving them. The faculty members met as often as the board to discuss their problems informally. Mrs. Thelma Rychener directed a cast of seniors in the play, The Big Blow Up. The play centered around the mix-up of four identical suitcases. One of the four suitcases contained a deadly bomb which the crook, Tom Rychener, had planted in an attempt to get rid of the detective, Ron Leupp. The hotel owner, Margaret Rufenacht, her son, Bob Robson, and her son's friend, Marlene Thierry, had a hard time trying to keep the roomers happy and help solve the mystery of which person was a thief who had stolen a very valuable necklace. Tom Rychener made a fine portrayal ofa woman and a crook. The cast did an excellent job of playing the many parts that gave hilarity and tenseness to this play. A new book report system was set up this year by a committee of faculty and Student Council members. The system required at least one book report each six weeks.

Their jobs were unending, without any slack season or a rush. Arlene and her staff of librarians were busy every period signing out books. The elementary libraries were nearly as busy, as the children loved to read. In addition to their reading, the students spent time merry-go-rounding and riding their bicycles to and from school. The smell of fresh tar and the noise of heavy machinery made study practically impossible in the fall as county engineers fixed Summit Street, better known as the street directly north of the school. Because of the closing of the street for resurfacing, students experienced the pain of walking to school from the bus sheds, through rain or shine, every morning and evening for a short time. A new ecmmunity crgaaizaticn formed this year was the Pettisville District United Fund, Inc. The funds collected were divided among ten organizations. The drive netted a satisfying S4408.50. Mr. William Minner, agriculture teacher, and Mr. Chauncey Mull were captains of the Pettisville UF drive. Miss Cron's much-improved band held a Halloween party in Judy Short's barn, October 17. They played games and enjoyed typical teen-age refreshments. This forty-eight piece band made many trips up and down streets of Pettisville in practice sessions. This practice went on every Tuesday and Thursday in fall and spring, except when the weather was bad. The senior class spent a day at the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleveland. The trip was sponsored by the Peoples State Bank of Archbold. Many classes celebrated Halloween with parties. Grades seven and eight held their parties at school. The sixth grade was entertained at Mary Jane Rychener 's home. A group of FHA girls toured the Campbell Soup Plant in Napoleon in November. Miss Grace E. Cron and Jerry Weber are enjoying a game of Reuben and Rachel. Those watching are David Rupp, Mike Rychener, Diane Seiler, Marcia Short, Glora Belle Rychener, Jackie Weber, Jean Ann Rupp, Gloria Wagler, Doreen Lantz, and Mary Helen Liechty.

Cron, Marlin Nofziger, Duane Short, Larry Price. Capt. Robert Anderson, commander of the Nauti1is, was honored in Defiance, October 20 after having made his famous under Arctic ice expedition last summer. The Pettisville High School band with bands from other schools in Northwestern Ohio marched through Defiance in Capt. Anderson 's honor. The band also marched for the Defiance College homecoming game. Artie Ray shot an arrow into the air . . and was in the process of searching for his arrow in a corn shock when the camera's eye spotted him. He was only one of many who were moved by a desire to roam during the fall. Even second graders were afflicted with the fall disease, as the rush for coats took place after the bell had rung for recess. The high school students found the ideal temperatures for studying during fall months-- spring was still months away. Five delegates from the local Parent-Teachers Organization attended the State House Conference in Columbus. General education problems were discussed. Assembly programs were given to the student body during the year. The first of these was presented by Poodles and Gracie Hanneford on Nevember 5. This was composed of comedy and circus acts. The Hannefords formerly performed with Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey. A big senior event was the personal picture-taking. Dressing up to come to school seemed silly and uncomfortable. But this was to be their final pose, so discomfort was endured for the day. The finished pictures came a few days before Christmas. Student Council members new a trash drive in the community, collecting glass, tin cans, and broken articles. This was a money-making project--a charge of '75 cents per stop was made, and donations were welcomed. The money they made was greatly needed because of the depleted state of their treasury. The senior FI' A members attended future teachers' clay at BGSU. Various fields of teaching were discussed. The Hannefords, a father and daughter team, entertain the school at an assembly program.

T The state basketball champions, the Edgerton Bulldogs, were the opponents in the year 's first home game, November ll. The Pettisville boys lost 58-56. This loss was the first of the season for the team. lt was also the last until the second Archbold game, January 2. At this first home game dads of the basketball players were honored, as an added feature. The fathers were admitted free and each wore his son's uniform number. The local team fought till the last second but could not win. fAt least, we lost to the future state champslj i Pettisville's long-time foe, Archbold, held two royal battles with the local team this year. Pettisville came out triumphant in the first, but the team was defeated in the second. The display on the bulletin board served as a good luck charm- -once! The faculty with their husbands and wives held several parties this year. At Thanksgiving, they prepared their traditional dinner. In addition to the faculty, the school board members and their wives and non-faculty personnel and their spouses attended the dinner. The first Thanksgiving was recalled in the operetta given by grades five and six. Scenes of the Pilgrim story were done in an effective picture form. A chorus sang several numbers. Miss HClCI1 RCthIHCl, representative of the Toledo Edison Company demonstrated electrical appliances to the FHA at one of the fall meetings. She served refreshments in line with her demonstration to the girls. The gfildft again had as a special project the molding of leaves in clay. These leaves were glazed and baked, and given to the mothers of the artists for Christmas. Other art projects were also carried on in the elementary classes. A visitation program for the elementary grades was again followed this year. The parents were designated a specific time to visit their children 's classes.

BOTTOM: Paul Morris, Donna Hartman, Cheryl Thierry, and Mary Helen Ramos display their bulletin board. Tuberculosis patch tests were again on the agenda for several of the grades. This test is made without charge. The elementary classes also celebrated the many birthdays of the students. A new intramural program was set up for two elementary grades, five and six. These small boys drew a large attendance at each of their games--usually more than at high school games. Interest was high not only because of their age, but also for some lucky shots and tricky plays. Some games were quite humorous. Another elementary pastime was working with bulletin boards. Many unusual ideas were put into pictures on these boards. The teachers and pupils cooperated to make ideas come to life. The oldest music ensemble at PHS is the Harmonettes, a trio of three pretty sophomore girls. These girls have completed their fourth year of singing together. The middle-aged music group is the Quarter Notes, the junior girls' quartet, who have completed their second year of singing. These two music groups plus a third group, the Off Beats, gave a radio program, High Time, over WOWO, Ft. Wayne, Ind., December 6. On November 28, the singers travelled over hazardous roads to make the tape. The day before the program was to be released, a call from WOWO resulted in a return trip to Ft. Wayne. The engineers at the station had erased the original tape, and if the program was to be released on schedule, a new tape would have to be made. The new tape was made and the program was broadcast on schedule. The program was conducted like a popular disc jockey show, with Ron Leupp announcing. Christmas brought with it a faster tempo of activities, decorating, planning, and gift buying. Every grade and nearly every class decorated rooms with new, elaborate decorations. The FTA took on a new project, that of decorating the exterior of the school. The decorations added a festive note to its appearance.

A processional this year was an innovation from the program of other years. The senior choir took their places on the stage to the Christmas music of O Come All Ye Faithful. A speech play, Joy of the Angels, preceded the concert. A mixed quartet sang several carols, which were interspersed throughout a reading of passages from the Bible. A male-voice speech choir narrated the Nativity as a cast of angels reenacted the joy of the angels at Christ 's birth. The junior choir, besides closing the speech play, sang several numbers. In addition to the two choirs, the three ensembles sang several numbers. H2ndC1,S MCSSi2h,, was presented to the community a second time by the Community Chorus, directed by Miss Grace E. Cron. Soloists for the occasion were Mrs. Edward Yoder, sopranog Mrs. Glen Nafziger, contraltog Lester King and Rnhert Yoder: tennrsg and Tom Roos, bass. Sharon Nofziger, a sophomore, and Mrs. Clyde Rice accompanied the choir and soloists at the piano and organ. Two of the many groups herding Christmas parties were the Student Council and journalism class. - One of the humorous things which took place was the incident of Miss Wyse getting into the swing of things, otherwise know as hula-hooping! The journalism party was held at Judy Short 's home and Suzy Frey entertained the Student Council at her home. For more than a Week, school was dismissed because of heavy snow and ice. This period of eight days was unusually long. An annual event for dads was the kindergarten dads' party. The fathers were honored with food and entertain- ment by their children. There were two parties--one for the east section, one for the west. Charles King, noted baritone, gave an assembly program to the PTO and to grades one to six. A concert was cancelled for high school because snow and ice forced dismissal of school. Mr. King was formerly associated with the Wings Over Jordan Choir. This scene shows the ice which closed school for a few days. The vacation was very much appreciated by the students.

Barbara Nofziger reigned at the annual homecoming celebration before a large crowd at the Pettisville-Metamora game February 6. Tom Rychener, basketball captain, crowned Barbara as the third queen at Pettisville. The auditorium was decorated in hearts. Barb and her court, Sandra Smith, Marlene Thierry, Karen Gearig, and Sharon Nofziger, entered the auditorium to the music of A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody. John Goertz served as Master of Ceremonies for the event and introduced the members of the court and their parents. Two kindergarteners, Sarah Ellen Rupp and Allen Lantz, were the flower girl and crown bearer. All the girls carried bouquets of red carnations and white hyacinths. After the crowning ceremonies, the queen and her court, basketball players, parents, boosters, committee members, and the faculty were served cake, ice cream, and punch in the cafeteria. During the WiI1tC1', when weather permitted, the boys from all grades played basketball on the tennis court. Basketball in the auditorium was a popular sport with everyone, anytime. Physical education classes for girls were different in that Mrs. Marian Richley taught them the many rules of basketball. Problems, experiments, and Work both enjoyed and unenjoyed, were endured by the physics class. This small class of eleven members struggled through long problems and hard experiments with radio, electricity, television, nuclear reaction, mechanics, pressures, volumes, and weights. Mr. Robert Leeper taught this class, Rodney N ofziger was one of the two boys from Ohio chosen to attend the Sixth Annual Junior Poultry and Egg Fact Finding Conference. Rodney and Mr. William Minner attended the conference at Kansas City, Missouri, in February. The County Student Council discussed many ideas this year. One of those that was carried out was the interschool visitation program. The Student Council members from each school had a chance to visit another school. The Council also planned the county track meet. TOP: Playing basketball on the tennis court are Ellis Nafziger, Jerry Frey, Larry Rupp, George Liechty, Santos Rodriguez, and John Nofziger.

The school's press camera was operated by two members of the photography club, Allen Rupp, president, and Jim Roth, next year 's president. These two boys were at nearly every event here at school, shooting pictures. Most of the photographs used in the Lariat were taken by the boys. Bud Beck's Cabinet Shop built a new trophy case that was set in the lobby. This new piece of furniture relieved the problem of lack of space for trophies. It also contained the new trophies which were won during the basketball tournament. Miss Heuer's sixth graders were one of the many classes in both the elementary grades and high school who surprised their teacher with a birthday party. Usually refreshments--cake and ice cream--were served, and the teacher was presented a gift. Most of the teachers were pleasantly surprised. Karin Lantz and john Baer, juniors, represented the Pettisville American Legion at Girls' and Boys' State in June. The two learned detailed forms of government as they elected their own governor and other officers for the ten-day convention. Karin and John were chosen by the faculty as being outstanding juniors. App1esauce Was the byword during picture taking for the Lariat by Bob from Powell 's Studios in Detroit and Toledo. Applesauce was the word to say instead of the traditional cheese. Gus Hoverson of the American Yearbook Company worked with the Lariat staff on the production of the book. He consulted with Miss Wyse and the staff frequently. A Findlay representative ofthe Ohio Oil Company gave a very interesting talk, The Magic Barrel, to an assembly of the high school. Mr. Armand Beliveau spoke on the many uses of oil in modern industry. A b2I1ql1CC was one of the year 's features for the FHA. The girls' parents were invited to this event. Bonnie Glick, a Napoleon junior, showed slides from Europe. A fine supper was served by some of the FFA boys. At the end of the day, kids of every age ran for the buses to go home-- a moment looked forward to by most!

Hard work, criticism, and hope combined to give the best of success to senior choir, ensembles, and soloists at District and State Music Auditions. Miss Cron and her students can be proud of the record they set in '59. Fourteen entries were made in the auditions. Of these, five won superior ratings at state--senior choir, the girls' sextet,the Off Beats, Kenneth Nafziger--tenor solo, and Eric Rupp- -corner solo. Waiting even two minutes --quite often longer--for ratings was the next thing to unbearable. Often, results were unbelievable to the contestants. Many times, the tense moments were broken by humorous happenings. For instance, at the State Choir Auditions in a crowded Mansfield High School, several boys came with the report that choir had got a I. A group of doubting Thomases left the auditorium--rushing to the bulletin board where ratings were posted! Halls on the way to the lobby were unusually crowded. The shocked crowd made a track for the milers to run through, and stood off and let them run! fThe runners found the report- to be truely The youngest music ensemble was the boys' quartet known as the Off Beats. The boys concluded their first fand lastj successful year together by having a big L-P record album pressed. , Eric Rupp, who is a fifth grader, has seven years to look forward to with his comet. Already at this age, he received a I rating in state competition. Good luck to him! Flashing smiles to the judge was all the girls' sextet seemed to remember after their state contest performance. This I-at-state group was the Quarter Notes plus two, because girls' quartets are barred from competition. McClure's band gave a concert to the local school that was very pleasing to the audience. This was one of the finest exchange concerts given at Pettisville in recent years. Mr. Frank Zurlo directed this band, which also received I ratings at state and district contests. Pettisville's senior choir gave a concert later in the year in return for the one McClure gave. The choir also sang at Melinta-Grelton High School the same day. The three ensembles sang in each concert. The girls' sextet was formed to enter music com- petition at BGSU. The members of the sextet are Suzy Frey, Elaine Merillat, Joan Weber, Karen Gearig, Karin Lantz, Judy Short.

Derstine spoke to the students on the mental, physical, personality, and religious phases of life. The Community Chorus made its second appearance on Easter morning at the community sunrise service. Miss Grace E. Cron directed them again in several Easter numbers. Rev. William Nofziger, pastor of the West Clinton Mennonite Church and an alumnus of PHS, gave an Easter sermon An old-fashioned supper highlighted FTA activities this year, as the members donned gay nineties costumes and served the guests a fine, low-priced chicken supper. Jennie Henschen played her accordion and the Off Beats sang barbershop music during the meal. Profit from the supper was used to sponsor an overseas child. A lI1CCtiI1g for young and adult farm ers was held by the local agriculture department. A Standard Oil Company representative conducted a tractor maintenance school, demonstrating types of fuels and carburetor and ignition adjustments. Miss Wyse's Latin class sponsored a trip to the Toledo flower show ir1 the Civic Auditorium in March. Fifty students from the Latin and sophomore English classes went to Toledo. The annual visitation day brought the high school together in an evening session to allow parents to visit. The 2g1'iCl11tl11'C 2 C1285 of sophomore boys tore down and rebuilt small gasoline engines for their projects this year. A magazine sales drive was launched for the sixth, seventh, and eighth graders again this year. They did not quite reach their goal of 31000.

Feelings, especially during the tournament, were written on the faces of these four girls--depending of course on the outcome of the game. Fulton took the county championship from Pettisville in a battle royal, 60-61. The winners lost to PHS twice during the season, but managed an upset in the tournament. The game was interspersed with frequent huddles, resulting in scoldings, urgings, and pleadings. After losing to Fulton, Pettisville whipped the Panthers of Delta to win the honors of Fulton County runners-up and the right to enter sectional competition. ln the first game, the Blackbirds squeaked by Liberty Center, 46-44, and then walloped Ottawa Hills, 80-59, to win sectional honors. Edgerton was drawn in the first game of district play. Edgerton gave the Birds their worst loss of the seasnn--A loss of 14 points. The junior High aim lost its bid for the county championship by losing to the Archbold Junior High team in the county finals. However, with these wins and losses, a new set of trophies was won for PHS. At noon, a rush for food took place in the halls, anywhere, as students ran, crowded, or pushed just to be first. He who succeeded was howled at by the losing students who were put closer to the end. The bus trip to Mansfield proved to be an interesting day to senior choir as they conversed and chatted all the way to and from the city. Suzy Frey was one of several who either thought the trip boring or who were too tired to enjoy it and who slept while riding on the bus. Sleeping was difficult, especially around those who were wide awake and rating to go. The day was spent listening to choirs from other high schools. The big moment came when the PHS choir put in their appearance. Even though they were nervous and excited, the choir sang their way to the top and came home, triumphant with a i at state. A chartered bus for the trip to Mansfield was furnished by the Music Boosters. 29 TOP: Pictured ina typical cafeteria scene are Karen Gearig, Karin Lantz, Kenny Nafziger, Wendell Beck, Diane Seiler, John Baer, Donelda Nofziger, Tom Rychener, Mrs. Mary Taylor, Roseyn Rychener, Nancy Ruetz, Barbara Roth, Suzy Frey, and Mrs. Stella Dis- brow.

Mr. Davenport is a former All-American football player. Prin. Mark Ray, Coaches Dencel Miller and Daniel Fisher presented several athletic awards. The Wauseon Trioleers provided music for the banquet. The cafeteria was decorated with basketballs and baseballs for the occasion. The general purpose room was the scene of many class parties. The freshmen held a number of informal events, two of which were with the sophomores. Two future organizations, FHA and FFA, held frequent meetings. Often they were to discuss financial problems and ways to remedy them. From these discussions came a barrage of bake sales, scrap drives, Christmas card sales, and sales of many other ii.cii1a 4l.l iliuitdiliig lllc aL,L,uuiiLS uf i.l1cSc organizations. Stage fright afflicted a cast of juniors in their first drama productions, Father Was a Housewife. John Baer played the part of a hen-pecked husband who was forced to stay home and do housework because his wife, Roseyn Rychener, was a doctor, and busy with caring for her patients. John 's song writing in addition to this house chores made tense situations become humorous.

A bacteriological project was displayed by Steve Morris and Jerry Rupp. Jerry Windisch and Jim Roth made a radio to show at the fair. An intramural tournament was run again this year between the basketball teams of the various classes. The seniors won both boys' and girls' championships. The fifth and sixth graders had their own league and tournament play-offs. They played many exciting and close games. Four senior boys on the varsity team coached the elementary teams. A I '. .

An industrial arts department, added cafeteria and storage space, and new science facilities were included in the plans. These plans call for an additional tax of one mill to be voted on in Nobember. T116 llStCI1CCl to these plans at one of the regular meetings. Five other programs were given during the year. Mr. Charles King entertained with singing and directing audience singing at one meeting. A panel discussed general education problems one evening. Mr. Don Dauler, brother-in-law of Supt. D. E. Springer, showed pictures from Russia, and Miss Ruth K. Wyse showed some from Europe. At the last meeting of the year, Supt. Springer presented scholarship awards to students. Parents of the award winners were especially invited to the meeting. This was the first time such an event was held. The trip to Mansfield for the senior choir to sing in the state contest, several new instruments, and holding an ice cream social were several activities sponsored by the Music Boosters. This group received nearly 35300 from the United Fund to help their depleted treasury. Mr. Orville Rupp, president of the Music Boosters, is shown conducting a meeting. TOP ROW: Supt. D. E.

They were very authentic. Five girls from the Latin class-Elaine Merillat, Judy King, Linda Frey, Janette Rupp, and Luann Gearig--prepared a Rom an banquet, which they served in true Roman style. The affair was elaborately planned and carried out, with the many courses which Romans favored from eggs to apples. The guests were Miss Wyse and the remaining members of the Latin class, The banquet was given in the booster room. The girls spent many hours decorating and fixing the couches for the banquet.

They also took a trip to the Archbold Greenhouse. The mothers of the kindergarteners planned many parties for them. For the second year, several grades presented an operetta. This year, Hansel and Gretel was given to the school and community by the third and fourth grades. An evening performance drew a large crowd from the community. David Nafziger and Sandra Bertsche played the parts of Hansel and Gretel. These two were ably assisted by the witch, Jane D. Rupp, their parents, Walter Altman and Shirley Frey, a group that did a drill, the sandmen, Verle and Verlyn Rufenachtg and a chorus composed of the remaining third and fourth graders. The operetta, performed in three acts, was an outstanding production. lt was directed by the teachers of the two grades, Mrs. Helen Springer, Mrs. Pearl Lamb, Miss Sadie Miller, and Mrs. Miriam Rose.

Monday morning they arrived in Washington for a four- hour stop-over. ln this short time, they visited the Capitol Building, Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court Building. The 30 tourists then boarded a Pennsylvania train and went to New York. A visit to the NBC Broadcast Studios was scheduled for Monday night, but it was cancelled because of a strike. Tuesday was filled with tours--the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan in the morning, a stage show in Radio City Music Hall in the afternoon, and the TV show, To Tell the Truth, in the evening. Wednesday was the only day of niceweather during the trip. It was a beautiful day for the three-hour boat cruise around Manhattan Island.

Mr. and Mrs. Tom Rychener chaperoned the class and Mrs. George Sinks of the railroad company directed the tour. The fifth and sixth graders wentby bus to visit the Toledo Museum of Art. They saw the many interesting displays. On the way home, the two classes stopped at the Toledo airport for a few minutes. Sandra Smith, PHS track queen, presented awards to the track boys who placed in the Fulton County track meet. Coach Daniel Fisher spent many hours with a small squad, getting the boys in shape for the event. john Baer won over Suzy Frey in a neck-to-neck campaign for the presidency of Student Council.

Mr. Leeper, their sponsor, spent the evening with them. Money from the United Fund auored to playground improvements resulted in a new merry-go-round, a slippery slide, and tether ball equipment. The first two were for the elementary grades and the last for the high school. In addition to taking the county basketball championship from PHS, Fulton took both county and sectional baseball championship games from the local nine. Pettisville won over Delta, 9-3, in the first round of county play and Fulton topped Pettisville 10-O. ln the sectional tournament played at Wauseon, Montpelier was drawn by the Blackbirds. PHS won 6-4. Fulton defeated Edgerton and Ottawa Hills to again face our squad, again whipping us '7-3. In preparation for the juniors' farewell to the seniors, the Junior-Senior Banquet, members of the junior class made roses to carry out their theme of moonlight and roses. The seniors seemingly appreciated their art work, as each took several roses for souvenirs. As in former years, sophomores were recruited to serve the banquet supper.

Moonlight and Roses was the theme of the Junior-Senior Banquet, May 2. The setting was a moonlit rose garden. The garden had a romantic atmosphere--a picket fence and rose arbor with red rambling roses, and a full moon with a white iron love seat, beneath it. Rose bud twined around the candles on the tables which were also decorated with roses scattered about on them. Mr. Dencel Miller served as toastmaster and Allen Nofziger and John Goertz, class presidents, gave the welcome and response. Marvin Merillat, an Archbold junior, performed several acts of magic and ventriloquism. The I-Iarmonettes sang Moonlight and Roses. Roseyn Rychener gave a farewell to the seniors and talks were made by Prin. Mark Ray and Supt. D. E. Springer. The food was prepared by Mrs. Mary Taylor and several mothers of juniors. The j11I1iO1' girls and the speech class added variety to an annual affair, the Spring Concert. The junior girls performed a Maypole dance, accompanied by Sharon Nofziger at the piano. The speech class gave a one-act play, The Wall, depicting the seemingly futile efforts of a few people to free themselves from large forces of evil. Seven speech students composed the cast giving this play. Mrs. Thelma Rychener directed. Mrs. Mayer's section of first grade held a Mother 's Day party. The pupils gave their mothers gifts and served them punch and cookies. Slops were the fad for a day as the junior girls spent an unusually long period of time selecting the clothes they would wear and combing their hair in a crazy style. Any clothes that were too small, any clashing colors, any outlandish hair fixture was extremely popular--one day only. With a rash of spring fever came another yearly happening--an order from headquarters to clear out lockers. This job was usually one which was dreaded by every student. But with a wastebasket, fetched from a classroom, the sorting began until the bottom of the stack was reached andfor the wastepaper basket was full! 4-1 ABOVE: Charlene Yoder, Mrs. Cornelius Short, Mrs. Earl Weber, Mrs. John Yoder, Mrs. James Bertsche, Mrs. Roberta Mayer, and Linda Bertsche are pictured at the Mother's Day party.

Springer from the faculty caused both sad and shocked emotions. Mr. Springer had won his way into the heart of every PHS student, and when the announcement came, every student was made to wonder if there could be a Pettisville School without the wonderful superintendent--D. E. Springer. Mr. Springer could find time to talk about any problem with any student or faculty member. The end of a period meant nothing to this understanding counsellor who often missed his only class--senior democracy. Dave will be missed both in the school and in the community. Included in the list of things he introduced into the school and community were the PTO, the new elementary school building, the plans for the new high school additions, and a greatly enlarged curriculum.

Mrs. Florence Porter and John Goertz spoke on some recollections from former years and some of the feelings of the student body. The senior choir sang a number, Halls of Ivy, and Miss Ruth K. Wyse presented a surprised Mr. Springer his gift. Various awards were presented at the Awards Day program on May 22. Mr. Springer presented the Brown Bakery Outstanding Service awards to two seniors, John Goertz and Arlene Sauder. These award winners were elected by the senior class. Mr. Ray presented the Babe Ruth Sportsmanship awards also to two seniors. They were elected by grades 10, 11, and 12. Margaret Rufenacht and Tom Rychener were the winners of these awards. Mrs. Holtzmuller presented three commercial awards given by the Underwood Typewriter Company. Barbara Nofziger was chosen as the outstanding commercial student, Margaret Rufenacht as the outstanding typing 2 student, and Sharon Nofziger, the outstanding typing 1 student.

A large number of students were on the honor roll all year and many came very Close to it. Pettisville was represented in the top 25 percent of the county in the eighth grade tests by a long list of eighth graders--the longest list in the county.
