AIICHC S21L1dCf and the bookmenders kept the school library in order and repair. 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.

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.
