Johnson Page 19 Senior Personalities DOROTHY RAUCH Her cheeks are red as autumn skies; Her hair is golden brown. Her pleasing personality Has won her fair renown. EARL WARD A loyal member of the squad, He always played his best. He never feared geometry Nor flunked a physics test. DONALD MORRIS A second “Sinatra” he might be If only he could croon; But still, his lofty baritone Could make the girlies swoon. PATRICIA PAINTER She’s always sharp in English class, In law and physics, too. She is a “sticker” to the last, What e’er she starts to do. NORMA JONES She’s quiet as a little mouse. She’s bashful and demure. But someday she will find a beau; Of that, you may be sure! ANNA WILKIN We know that Anna likes to play The tunes we want to hear, From jazzy songs like “Mairzy Doats,” To blues that rend a tear. Described by James Lauck BETTY HUGHES She’s seen a lot with Norma Jones; Good friends they seem to be. She’s seldom verbose when she talks; A clever girl is she! GENE BOLEY A smile across his ruddy cheeks, A twinkle in his eye, He’s faithful to a certain girl Whose first name ends with Y. RALPH TAYLOR He’s serving now with Uncle Sam, A hero of the blue, He joined the air corps, for he thought He hadi a job to do. | LEE BOLEY A movie star, he might well be (And if he only knew it) He has the looks-one requisite: We know would help him do it. CLARA SCHWARTZ Her hair is blond; her eyes are blue; She always stands up straight. She gets to classes “‘on the dot,” And seldom is she late. JAMES LAUCK A sheaf of paper in his hand, A pencil on his ear, As Editor-in-Chief he served Throughout his senior year. Children yesterday, Seniors today, Soldiers tomorrow, ; They’ll lead the way! ; Page 20 Class History In September, 1932, twenty-five big-eyed youngsters walked into the school building for the first time. When that first day we came to order, we learned that Miss Persis Alspaugh was our teacher. Of the twenty-five pupils that originally started with us, only seven remain. They are: Patricia Painter, Anna Wilkin, Betty Hughes, Norma Jones, Clara Schwartz, Dorothy Rauch, and Donald Morris. Our second year was under the direction of Miss Helen Waltz. We welcomed Ralph Taylor to our class that year. We proceeded to learn the three R’s and were elevated to the third grade. During our third and fourth years we were again guided by Miss Alspaugh. James Lauck joined our class that year. By the time we started the fifth year we were so unruly, a man had to instruct us. He was Mr. D. E. Jones. This year James Lauck proved his romantic abilities by writing love letters to the girls. He soon learned that he was unlucky in love for he received no answers. This year we welcomed Lee and Eugene Boley and Everett Evans to our class. Cur sixta) year we were under the direction of Mr. D. E. Jones and Mr. R. P. Jones. We were sponsored by Mr. Merlin Correll during our seventh year. We began to feel quite grown up. because we were now considered Junior Hi students. We welcomed another boy, Harl Ward, to our class that year. Mr. Everett Koenig was our sponsor in the eighth grade. We held our first class party at the home of Joan Harp. Later in the year she moved to Indiana. The following year we entered high school as “green” freshmen. After fearfully awaiting the dreaded initiation, it came. After it was over we felt as if we could enjoy the rest of the year. Miss Hessen- berger was our sponsor that year. in the spring, the class went to Edgewater Park at Celina for a picnic. After we got there, we discov- ered that our ice cream was still at the school, so the boys returned and got it for us. We all went roller skating in the evening. Conse- quenty the next day we were glad to stand up as much as possible. Our Sophomore year, we elected officers and Mr. Frederick Fisher was our sponsor. This year was very uneventful. The last day of school we went to Fort Brown for the day. Many of us had _ blisters when we returned from rowing. In our Junior year, Miss Hessenberger was our sponsor. Every- thing became astir when it was rumored that we were giving a class play. Miss Breese, the director, was very patient with us and we suc- ceeded in giving ‘‘Pleased Ta Meetcha” successfully. We presented it again at Jennings School the following week. Another event was the Penny Fair which we sponsored... It was well attended by everyone, We bid the Seniors of ’48 good-bye at a formal reception at White- hall Inn in Van Wert. Our Senior year, we were soon to find was our biggest and busiest year of all. We elected officers a few weeks after school started. They are as ‘follows: Lee Boley, President; Dorothy Rauch, Vice Pres.; James Lauck, Sec. and Treas. and Mrs. Morris and Mr. McDonel, sponsors. On Dec. 14 we presented our class play, “Mystery at Midnight.” Soon after this we began work on our annual. Two of the boys from our class went into the service. They are Robert Crow, in the Army Air Force and Ralph Taylor also in the Army Air Force. On May 11, the Juniors held a reception for us at Whitehall Inn at Van Wert. It was a formal reception, so we all were quite ‘“duded up”. Our Baccalaureate Service was held on May 21. Rev. Johnson gave the address. The Commencement Exercise was held on May 25. Mr. John Grierson was the speaker. Class Will We, the Senior class of 1944, of York High School, having been acknowledged mentally superior and physically perfect by the dear fac- ulty and devoted underclassmen, do hereby make cur last will and testa- ment. First: To the Juniors we will our new democracy books and trust that they will keep them in said condition. Also, we will to them the excellent manner in which we prepare our daily lessons. Second: To the Sophomores we bequeath our excellent grades and our remarkable way of getting along with the faculty. Third: To the Freshmen, we will our quiet dispositions and excellent behavior, which we feel they can use. Fourth: To our beloved faculty, we will all our pencils, chewing gum, and other facilities which might have helped us in securing the excellent knowledge which we possess. We also realize that such talent aS we possess can never be replaced. We leave you hoping that you will keep your courage and face the next year’s class with a new hope, left to you by the Seniors of 1944. Realizing that some members of our class are especially gifted we wish to make the following personal bequeaths: Fifth: I, James Lauck, will my literary virtuosity and genuine appre- ciation of the fine arts to Donald Crone. Sixth: I, Norma Jones, will my ability to stay “tiny” to Joy Lininger. Seventh: I, Earl Ward, will my athletic ability to Edwin Emans. Eighth: I, Dorothy Rauch, will my position as office secretary to Maxine Wallick. Ninth: I, Lee Boley, will my technique to meet all the Van Wert girls to Wilbur Krugh. Tenth: I, Clara Schwartz, will my quick temper to Mary R. Roberts. Eleventh: I, Betty Hughes, leave to Dorothy Reese my ability to be seen and not heard. Twelfth: I, Anna Wilkin, will my ability to write long letters to soldiers to Helen Hiller. Thirteenth: I, Patricia Painter, will my. cud of chewing gum to Miss Hessenberger. Fourteenth: [f, Eugene Boley, will my ability to “go steady” to Dick Gamble. Fifteenth: I, Donald Morris, will my curly hair and my broad shoulders to Ray Couts. By— Dorothy Rauch Prophecy Speech Delivered on May 1, 1960 My friends, I feel greatly honored that you have asked me to speak at this year’s alumni banquet. Since Mrs. Morris, the chairman, did not designate what subject she wished me to discuss, I have chosen my own: “The Class of ’44’s Voyage to Success.” It took a great deal of research to prepare this speech; but I am sure that it is accurate to the minutest detail. One scholar of the Class of ’44, Dorothy Rauch, now sits in the Con- | gress of the United States. Her recent speech demanding pensions for old maids will no doubt gain for her the nomination for the Presidency. Anna Wilkin’s life history appears in the May issue of “‘Etude” maga- zine, along with full color pictures of her recent piano concert in Carnegie Hall. I had always known that Gene Boley was the domestic type of per- son; so it is not at all surprising that he is happily married, and the father of two sets of twins. We were all surprised when M. G. M. offered Earl Ward a $75,000 moving picture contract; but none of us will be surprised if he wins an academy award for his brilliant portrayal of Joseph Priestley in a “A New World” which was premiered on New Year’s Eve at the Schine’s Van Wert Theater. Clara Schwartz is taking a beautician’s course at a famous New York college. As soon as she graduates, she plans to establish her own beauty salon in Venedocia. Norma Jones’ name was in the Society column of the Venedocia G azette yesterday. The article said that she is engaged to————— But I’m sure there must be some mistake; I have sworn to remain a bachelor! While visiting school a few days before Christmas vacation, I saw that two of my classmates have embarked up pedagogical careers. I came upon Patricia Painter teaching Junior English in Room 8. She seemed to be doing a good job of it, too; but she assured me that her brood is no more brilliant than we were when we took Junior English. Down in the gymnasium, I saw Lee Boley teaching the basketball boys some new plays. When I asked him why the boys were practicing so vehemently, he told me that they were going to play Middlepoint in the evening, and that the Dukes had a fine chance of winning. Last night I had my radio-television set tuned in to station V. W. O., Van Wert’s new broadcasting station,, to see and hear Donald Morris take his fourth inaugural oath. After he pledged his allegiance to democratic law, order, and principles, the Governor of Ohio: officially named him Mayor of Venedocia. Betty Hughes is now a department head at the Van Wert County Hospital, and I hear that she is soon to be transferred to a large hospital in Chicago. I feel that I really ought to talk a little longer; but the tantalizing aromas wafting their way up from the cafeteria, compel me to shorten my resume; for I’m sure that you are just as anxious as I to attack the sumptuous feast which the Girl Reserves have prepared for us. Before taking my seat, however, I would like to put in a plug for Yours Truly. As you probably know, my latest novel, ‘““The Cloak,’ has won the Nobel Prize for literature, and was proclaimed the outstanding best seller of 1959. Autographed copies may be purchased from me for $3.50 at the conclusion of this glorious re- union. I thank you! —James Lauck Page 23 “Mystery at Midnight” Cast Rathburne Wentworth, owner of the house on the hill __________________ James Lauck Mrs...

The play was heralded by a preview given Tuesday afternoon in the auditorium. Those who attended that evening saw an unusual and unique three, act mystery-comedy. Lights snapping on and off, knives whizzing through the darkness, an idol whose eyes lit up, ghosts flitting about the house, a mysterious old woman, and a merciless fanatic, evoked shrieks and shudders from the audience. Two Negro servants, a small-town flirt, and an egotistical Swede furnished riotous comedy. Despite the weird circumstances of “Mystery at Midnight,” this play had an unusually happy ending. Just before the curtains closed, Barbara, the heroine, was reunited with her mother whcm she had not seen since child-hood, and sHe also gained a handsome matrimonial prospect, Dick Lawerence. Letty Flanders accepted Oscar’s proposal to be married and take a honeymoon to Niagara Falls. Rasmus found Ener- gine’s rabbit foot which she had lost earlier in the evening and, according to legend: They all lived happily ever after. Mabel Conklin Allyn wrote the play; the Senicrs presented it; Mrs. Morris directed it, and the audience furnished enthusiastic applause at the end of each act.

Juniors On September 13, 19438, seventeen gifted students) marched into study hall to occupy the seats reserved for Juniors. At the beginning of the school term, the Juniors welcomed one new student, Joan Sutton. She moved to Van Wert socn after the termina- tion of the first six weeks, reducing the number of pupils to sixteen. During the first week in October, a class meeting was held to elect the class officers. Those chosen were: President Betty Lauck Vice Pres. Maxine Wallick Secrandsl read. = 222 s5 _ Lewis Linton Sponscr Mr. Dowler A well-attended roller skating party was given by the Juniors on October 25 at the Y. W. C. A. in Van Wert. Awkward amateurs as well as polished professionals provided entertainment for spectators who did not skate. When school was resumed after the holidays, ancther student, Ed- ward Amerman, joined the class. Edward formerly attended school at Rockford. The Junior class play, “Don’t be Bashful,’ was successfully pre- sented to an appreciative audience.

Music On the evening cf December 23, all twelve grades presented the annual Christmas program. Those who attended will not soon forget the beautiful tableaux and the old familiar carols as they were sung by the high school choir. Tall white candles burned throughout the program, adding an effect of effulgent tranquility. On the evening cf May 5, an impressive Spring Festival was stagied in the auditorium. All of the ceremonies were formally executed, each participant dressed in formal] attire. The mixed chorus presented the following numbers: Jae SInvin w= neLoueha 2. “On the Road to Mandalay” do. “The Clang of the Forge” 4.

Meetings were held every Monday during activity period. Devotional meetings were held on the second Mon- day of each month, business meetings on the third Monday, and social meetings on the fourth. Through our discussions, the G. R. Club traveled in many countries, learning the people’s habits, customs, and manner of dress. The club has also contributed to the war-effort. The small table in the hall at noons became a familiar sight to York students. The club members sold War Stamps, and the students co-operated by buying them. Much of the credit for the success of the club is due to the lead- ership of our enthusiastic sponsor, Miss Hessenberger. Page 34 Seated, left to right—Martha Burnett, Dorothy Rauch, James Lauck.

The aim of the staff members was to edit a well-written school paper containing all the important events of the year, as well as entertaining human interest stories and features. ° The fourth issue of the Spotlight was dedicated to the boys in the service, and the patriotic theme was carried throughout the paper. Each person in the journalism class has put forth every effort to make the 1943-44 edition of the school paper a masterpiece of journal- istic perfection. Two members of the staff, Ralph Taylor and Robert Crow, were in- ducted into the armed forces. Page 35 Page 36 LEE BOLEY—Guard Lee Boley, a senior, was in the thick of the battle at all times, try- ing to do his best. He will be missed by the squad next season. DON MORRIS—Forward Don, a senior, was one of the fastest and best forwards in the league. He was an unusually good back board man. This was Don’s last season with the Dukes, and he too will be missed next year. EARL WARD—Center Karl Ward, a senior, clever and smooth, will certainly be missed by the squad next season. An excel- lent faker, he led the Dukes in scor- ing during the season. DICK GAMBLE—Forward Dick, a Junior, will be back with the Dukes next season, and with his excellent shooting, he should help to make York’s one of the best teams in the county. Dick was handi- capped, somewhat, by his lack of height, but made up for it with his perfected faking and dribbling. CRAIG DOWLER This year was Mr. Dowler’s first as coach at York. He worked hard and spent many hours with the boys developing a clean hard fighting team. He was always. stressing teamwork and loyalty to our players and fairness toward our opponents. Through his guidance the team came out with a majority of wins. I am sure everyone would like to see him back next year. DEAN CRONE—Guard Dean, a sophomore, has been a great help to the Dukes. He was an exceptionally good guard despite the fact that he lacked height. DON CRONE—Quard Don Crone, a junior, was a player always feared by the opponent be- cause he was fast and a dead shot. An exceptionally fine guard and re- bound man, he was always in the thick of the game, scrapping until the very end. He will be back with the Dukes next season, and with another year’s experience, he should be an- other of the Dukes’ all timers. BILL EVANS—Forward and Center Bill, a sophomore, has two more years ahead of him. He should be of great value to the team in the coming: seasons. Possessing plenty of drive and playing ability, he played steady and reliable ball as a substi- tute.

This season’s favorable record was due to the co-cperation of the boys with one another, and also, with Mr. Dowler. The squad will lose three reg- ulars and one reserve through graduation. The squad members feel that they have gained a sense of loyalty to one another, synchronized team-work, and the ability to maintain good sportsmanship at all times. The team always fought through to the very end, never giving up until the final whistle blew. The squad had gained the rep- utation of being the fastest in the county. The only things lacking were height and reserve material. In the county tournament, the Dukes were defeated by Willshire, 34 to 27. Previously, Willshire had defeated York, 41 to 25. a8 YOURSPER VY OURSPER! Betty Lauck and Maxine Wallick were York’s inimitable cheerleaders for the past basketball season. Dressed in blue and white satin dresses, they led York’s cheering section in clever new “yells,” and they presented new versions of the cld ones. They also helped revive the school song by having it sung at the regu- lar pep sessions, and at the games.
