S ecretclry ll ln an old Spanish garden lived Marcheta, the girl who loved not wisely but too well, and for whom a man left the material world and went into the church, waiting for the time to come when he would die and rejoin the girl for whose death he felt responsible. Marcheta was really two plays, as the story had to do with the lives of two girls- Dolores, the modern one, and her great aunt, Marcheta, who lived and loved fifty years ago. The first and third acts were laid in a modern setting while the second act flashed back fifty years in time, during which the an- cestors enacted the story told by an old Padre.

grew. Jaw The year i946 dawned with a world striving to make peace an actuality, the United Nations had been formed and Rus- sia was already giving Trouble with her use of the veto power. On the home front we began to settle back into our usual routine and . . . 30 members of the l95O graduat- ing class made their debut as Freshmen of the Arcadia l-ligh Schol. Behind us lay eight years of work in the grades and we now started in earnest our high school career. ln organizing our class we elected Stanley Strausbaugh as presi- dent, Betty Lou Stahl, Vice President, Clarence Cain, Secretary, Ralph Marvin, Treasurer, Virginia Ziessler, Reporter, Donna Wiseley and Eldon Fisher, Student Council Members. We chase for our class the colors blue and silver, for our flower the American Rose and for our motto Try Till You Win. Mr. Mengert was our class sponsor. The outstanding events of our Fresh- men year were our initiation, participation in the operetta and our attendance at the Spring Prom. And then we were Sophomores . . . an- other year in our career as high school stu- dents and a step nearer graduation. As the leaders of our Sophomore year we chose for President, Donna Wiseley, Vice President, Clarence Cain, Secretary, Betty Lou Stahl, Treasurer, Eldon Fisher, Repor- ter, Tom l-lissong. We had a new class sponsor this year, Mrs. Sharninghouse. We had our first chance to show our ability in dramatics this year by presenting a one-act comedy, Party Line , for an assembly program. The boys of our class were presented a trophy for winning the in- tramural games. Again this year our class E. P. Reid Reid's Sohio Service Arcadia, Ohio lwas well represented in the operetta Ask the Professor. With the coming of our Junior year we realized that our high school days were rapidly coming to a close. We found our- selves very busy raising money and making preparations for the Junior and Senior Ban- quet which was to be held in the Spring, at the Y in Findlay. For this busy year Mrs. Sharninghouse was again our sponsor and those to lead us were: Ralph Marvin, President, Stanley Strausbaugh, Vice President, Tom l-lissong, Secretary, Marilyn Arnet, Treasurer, Est- her Ann Kieffer, Reporter, Betty Lou Stahl, Student Council Member. After many practices the moment came for the curtain to open and the presenta- tion of our Junior Play, The Atomic Youth began to take place. Also to our credit we had seven Juniors enrolled in the National Honor Society. With only Zi members in our class we began our Senior year. Once again this year Mrs. Sharninghouse was our sponsor and Ralph Marvin was our president. The other officers were: Vice President, Betty Stahl, Secretary, Donna Wiseley, Treasur- er, Tom Hissong, Reporter, Margaret Eber- sole, and Student Council Representative, Clarence Cain. We proved our dramatic talent by pre- senting three plays during the year, our Senior Play Marcheta and two one-act plays, Nobody Sleeps and Fright. This year we had eight Seniors as mem- bers of the National l-lonor Society. The Junior and Senior Banquet held at the Nic Nac in Fostoria brought a close to our l-ligh School career.

flaw, Pfwphenq, Ten Years Hence On a balmy spring day of April I, I96O, I received a surprising telephone call and learned I was one out of millions selected from the telephone directory to appear on the Kingfisher Wheel of Fortune Quiz Show. I hastily finished 'my morning's work and left my two children with my next-door neigh- bor. On arriving at the radio station I was quite nervous from excitement. Much to my surprise I learned that a new announcer had been appointed. I took a second glance to be sure and it was none other than a l95O classmate of mine, Eldon Fisher. Kingfish drew a number from the wheel and luck was with me again. Kingfish called out my number and I walked slowly up the aisle. I won over the five contestants be- cause l was able to give a quotation from Macbeth. I was given my choice of three things. As a winner I chose to have all my classmates of I95O come'by air to this broadcasting station on the following Wed- nesday. Eldon, The Kingfisher , did a good job of interviewing us. Until the very hour of the broadcast no one knew that his classmates' would be there. The hour arrived and the members of the class began to appear in the studio. You can imagine the shouts of surprise and exclama- tions of joy as each classmate appeared on the scene. Finally the Kingfisher succeed- ed in quieting the noise and confusion and the interview began. In the questioning of ALVIN SCHUBERT it was learned that he was an ace pitcher with the Cleveland Indians and drew the largest salary in baseball history due to the fact he won four World Series games in a single series, an unheard of feat up to this time. ' DOIRLA ANN DIEBLEY lives near Vanlue and is a busy housewife caring for six children. JOHN NAU lives on his own dairy farm near Arcadia. NORMA JANE BINGER has a good career as operator of The Bingo Beauty Salon in Hollywood, California., JIM PATTERSON is a fresh-air taxi cab driver for the Go-Gettum Taxi Service. DONNA WISELEY and her husband live on a large veterinary farm near Vanlue. Donna's chief interests are the success of the veterin- ary farm on which she lives and her lovely home which represents her interior decorating abilities that we all knew she possessed when shew took Home Economics at Arcadia School. JACK HUFFMAN and BOB KING have been playing basketball for the past five years with the World Champion New York Subways. The pair set a record of 43 straight field goals. Bob missed the 44th goal when his attention was attracted by a young lady in the audience. BETTY LOU STAHL is co-owner of the Hitchings Square Deal Jewelry Shop in West Independence. A place where your credit is good when you pay cash. RALPH MARVIN is the new agriculture teacher at the Arcadia School. Ralph has done considerable research and several articles have appeared in leading farm journals throughout the country on breeding of squeal- less pigs. Perhaps next it will be mOO-less cows. PAT LANNING is a well-known chiropodist and has foot patients coming to her from all parts of Ohio. MARK METZGER became a dirt farmer upon graduating from high school and in- tended to make farming his Iife's work. But upon learning of TOM HISSONG'S entry on the Republican ticket for State Senator, Mark immediately entered his name for Democratic Representative from Hancock county. Both won by a land slide-look out Senator Taft- your job may not be too safe. MARGARET EBERSOLE is head nurse at Flower Hospital in Toledo. She plans an early June marriage. IMAGENE THOMAS is employed as tele- phone operator at West Independence. It is rather doubtful how long she will hold this position since she is making plans to become a farmer's wife. CLARENCE CAIN is a favorite of Broad- way actors. His Iast appearance is the play, Barb Oi' My Heart , that is now showing for its third consecutive year in New York. MARILYN ARNET is the commercial teacher in the Exclusive School for Girls in Cleveland, Ohio. Her increased ability in speed and accuracy helped her to secure this high position. VIRGINIA ZIESSLER and her husband op- erate a successful restaurant and recreation center at ZiessIer's Corner on Route IZ. It is one of the favorite pastime spots for Arcadia students. Nation's Number One Argumentative Re- search Technician, under Dr. Einstein, is none other than MARION DICK. It is rumored that SIR MARION doubts every authority he finds in Mr. Einstein's library. DICK and ElNSTElN'S latest theory is the triple crack- ing of the atom. SIR MARION started to explain the theory but ELDON who was quick on the trigger wished all a safe journey home and announced the next get-together would be held IO years hence in Paris.
