Klaus, Jizbiozzy, In the fall of 1939, a class of frightened, wondering children entered school. This first year we made a good start and the first grade was ended with miniature commence- ment exercises at which we wore white caps and gowns. Our teacher was Miss Tallman. Our second year was filled with the funda- mentals of learning under the guidance of Mrs. Amstutz. Advancing to the third grade, Mrs. Arthur helped us present a stage circus featuring Deep in the Heart of Texas. The next three years passed rather slowly but we considered it an honor to plan and attend chapel programs. We participated in two operettas and members of our class were in orchestra and elementary choir. Upon reaching the seventh grade we encountered thrill of being advanced to the second floor. This was very different and we felt lost moving from room to room for our classes. It did not take long for us to get acquainted and by the time we had gotten to the eighth grade we had proved our ability to be very aggravating at times. By the end of the term we began to act a little more refined and set- tled down to end the year with the Eighth Grade Test, which gave us our chance to prove what we had learned. Alas, in 1948, we were freshmen but at this point we thought ourselves just about it and were disappointed when we were dubbed as greenies. We were given a thorough initia- tion which officially made us Freshmen. Our officers for the year were: President, Betty Lenhart, vice president, Bob Painter, secre- tary, Frances Garrett, treasurer, Melvin Len- hart, reporter, Kathryn Marvin. We worked under the leadership of Mr. Mengert. During our sophomore year we began to show our athletic ability and the girls took first place in the intramural tournament. Members of the class took part in the operetta Compliments of BROWN'S FOOT COMFORT SHOP. Corrective Footwear for the Entire Family 113 North Main Street Fostoria, Ohio Words and Music . We elected the follow- ing officers: president, Bob Painter, vice president, Rex Cunningham secretary, Mar- garet Fruth, treasurer, Russell Clark, repor- ter, Kathryn Marvin. Again Mr. Mengert was our class sponsor. At last we reached our third year in high school. During this year, under the direction of Mrs. Sharninghouse, we studied the art of acting and toward the end of the year we pre- sented the very popular stage play, Dear Son. ' We helped produce the 1950 annual and entertained the Seniors on May 5 with the Junior-Senior Banquet at Fostoria. Our offi- cers were: president, Rex Cunningham, vice president, Virginia Noel, secretary, Mary Wells, reporter, Russell Clark, and treasurer, Douglas Good. Miss Reimund was our spon- sor. We are now Seniors and we realize that our education has just begun. During the four years of high school we lost half our members but we are well represented in every activity. We are proud of our lettermen. Class officers were president, Lloyd Monday, vice presi- dent, Rex Cunningham, secretary, Mary Wells, treasurer, Norma Jean Nye, reporter, Douglas Good. Mr. Groth was our class spon- sor this year. Members of the class took part in the operetta Gypsy Rover and our class play Seventeen is Terrific , was a success. There were three members of the class in the National Honor Society. The 1951 Arcad- ian was published. The Juniors entertained us at the Junior-Senior Banquet in May. We approach commencement time with a sense of an impending loss of friendships and other things we cherish, but at the same time we are happy that we are graduates of Ar- cadia High School and that our education is Finished, Yet Beginning .

Fostoria, Ohio Chuck is determined to take his girl to the Spring Dance but he can't get the necessary five dollars and keep it. He even tries work- ing on the slop wagon, which embarrasses his sister very much, and although he earns the money he loses it. Then he goes out to his father's farm and digs up five hundred pen- nies hidden there by his grandma, but even this brings disappointment because the pen- nies have been promised to Chuck's little brother. While digging, Chuck discovers a hidden cave which brings a fortune to the family, and his father is so pleased that he gives Chuck the money for the dance and for- gives him for all the trouble he has caused.
