PPER SAN USKY HIGH CHO0L FORWARD, MARCH, From the time when the school was located on a hill overlooking the park, the Upper Sandusky Schools have grown steadily in size, in the number of stu- dents enrolled, in the number of teachers, and consequently, in the variety of courses of study offered to students. ln that little school on the hill, the only course of study offered was the college preparatory. When the site of the school was changed in l88Z, the commercial course was added. ln l924 the students of Pitt and Lrane townships were sent to one school which, with improve- ments, consists of the school we attend to- day. That same year, to accommodate all the students, the Senior High Building was built. A few years later students from Mif- flin township were sent here to attend the high school. ln i937 a section was built that connected the junior and senior high build- ings. lt is now known as the grade school section. The interior of most of our school house was painted in the summer of l944, which made our school the pleasant, attrac- tive one we now attend. We have seen that increase in attendance has made our school grow. From perhaps 30 students with 3 or 4 teachers, the enrollment has reached 466 plus a faculty of Zl. There are 55 subjects now taught, and 78 different courses. In spite of the snows and the coal short- age, the past year has showed a great ad- vancement in the progress of our school.

was organized, and a select choir of forty voices was chosen from a general chorus. This year our new superintendent intro- duced many novel features. First, there was the extra-curricular period, commonly known as the home room. During that period the G.R. and Hi-Y held their meetings, and the chorus groups rehearsed. Another activity in- stituted by Superintendent Rilling was the fifteen minute radio broadcast given by the home rooms over Station WMRN, Marion. These home rooms also had assembly pro- grams which included skits, plays, readings, and vocal and instrumental music. Plaques were presented at the end of each six weeks' period to home rooms with the best records in attendance, scholarship, and war bond and stamp sales. From this brief summary, it is easy to see that our school made great progress during the past year. --Joyce Clinger. 1945 ANNUAL CONTENTS Annual Staff .......................,..........,..... 4 Senior Class .... . 5 Junior Class ........... .... l O Sophomore Class ...... .... l 2 Junior High ......... .... l 4 Superintendent 20 Principals ....... .... 2 l Faculty ............ .... 2 2 Administration 24 Advertisements ..... .... 2 5 48 Music ......... .... 5 3 Sports .....,........ ....

On the following pages we of the annual staff have done our best to give you a living memorial of your school life for the past year. For our theme this year we have chosen some- thing that we believe to be representative of all our activities. Feet-that's it, just plain feet. We use them for almost everything we do. We walk to school, we walk at noon and between classes. We use our feet for sports, for dancing, and for all our work and fun. Why, our feet even have person- alityl We have happy feet, which skip merrily along, and we have tired feet, those dead ole' dogs. There are active feet, such as we see used in football or track. And of course, there is the kind of feet we all have nowadays-busy feet, busier than ever, war feet. That's the kind of feet we use when we walk to save gas, or when we work those extra hours at our job to do our bit for a lasting program of peace, founded on God-given principles. You all know about those feet and also about the feet of those away from home right now, fighting in the mud or on the cold steel of a ship, so that we can continue to have the most precious of all feet-the feet of a free people. As you can readily see, our feet are good actors and vivid indicators of our char- acter. With this in M' mind, the staff is sure that you will enjoy . reading the Annual much more. ln this year's book we have also tried to inject a bit of personal meaning for each student so that when he reads these pages, they will recall to him the pleasant days spent in, as we usually express ourselves, good old U.S.H.S. Our school has always meant a lot to us. Perhaps this is true not only because it is our greatest source of knowledge, but also because it is our best chance to make friends and learn to live, work, and play together. We owe much to our teachers who are always ready to help us no matter how much work it means for them, and we express our deepest appreciation for their showing us how. We sincerely hope the Annual holds many fond memories for both students and faculty. In conclusion . . . Thanks for your fine cooperation in helping us to get your H45 Annual ready, and for the oppor- tunity to serve as your staff. We enjoyed it tre- mendously. Cordially yours, it X.. - Tom voaEL.
