Pettisville High School - Lariat Yearbook (Pettisville, OH)

Page 11 text:

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.
