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.

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 .

'11, Pzwplmcq. Good morning, radio friends, this is radio station WRKD, with studios in the Bank Building, Arcadia, Ohio. The time is now 11:30 and it is time for the June 1, 1961 edition of A Walk down 'Memory Lane' . Memory Lane as you know is presented each Friday morning at this time by Cunninghamfs Chrysler Garage. This morning we are focusing our peek-o-scope on the Arcadia Class of '51. Of course my program this morning is of special interest to me as I graduated with the Class of '51 so without further comment let's see what has happened in the last ten years. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Painter, the former Beverly Damon, celebrated their ninth wedding anniver- sary yesterday. Bob nearly wore out the carpet in the waiting room while Beverly presented him four bundles of happiness, two boys and two girls -six Painters in all. Congratulations. I guess that it was quite a classy affair-Margaret Fruth and Betty Lenhart, head O. .B. nurses here at the Arcadia Hospital, assisted in the deliveries. Betty said they had their hands full. Well I guess so! Of course I am proud to number among my classmates Herbert Archibald, who succeeded Mike DiSa1le as Price Stabilizer. He seems to be doing a good job and has things running smooth- ly and prices under complete control. While we have our peek-o-scope focused on Washington another name that strikes a familiar chord is that of James Bruce, who is head scientist at Carnegie Institute. While on his recent trip to Mars by rocket ship he discovered that the flying saucers you have been seeing were invented by the men of Mars. James is now busy testing the advanced scientific theories of the Martians. Next there are Carol Breyman and Norma Nye, both serving their country, Carol as a Lieutenant in the Waves and Norma as an airline hostess for T.W.A. It seems that several of my classmates have maintained a decided interest in the school here in Arcadia. Douglas Good graduated from Toledo University and for the past two years has taught Commercial right here in the Arcadia High School. He expects a call from the government soon to set them right in their bookkeeping. Lloyd Monday has a small truck farm on the outskirts of town and supplies the school cafeteria with fresh fruits and vegetables daily. The former Marilyn Canterbury, who is head dietician, says that this practically eliminates meal planning drudgery. Joe Diebley operates a large dairy farm just east of the city. He furnishes the milk for the school as he does for most of the people of the city. Now getting away from home, I find Russell Clark, out at West Point. Russ said in his last letter that he really enjoyed playing football and was THE FRUTH HARDWARE CO. Established in Fostoria 1907 Over 40 years of Service Fostoria Ohio chosen captain for this season. His ambition is to command the World Army in the maintenance of law and order everywhere. Home again, I find Neil Breyman, owner of the filling station in Arcadia. Joe Sopher is his assis- tant mechanic. Neil fills the car with atomic power and Joe keeps the atoms under control. Last week in Fostoria while getting my hair set by Loretta Rice, I noticed a familiar face and it was none other than Lelia Warren, excuse me, it isn't Warren now. Anyway, we had a nice chat. Lelia is a housewife and has three children which keep her busy. Loretta mentioned some- thing about seeing the morning's paper and then put the drier on my head and I heard no more. When I arrived home, I read the paper and it almost completes the Memory Lane Program. On the back page was a picture of Raymorvd Burns. Raymond has an orchestra of his own and he is to arrive in Fostoria from New York to present a program of violin music to the public. Glancing further through the paper I saw that Charles King was playing the leading role in Life of Henry at the Paramount Theatre on Broadway. It seems that Charles' acting ability, which he had in school, is taking him places. WELL! WELL! What I saw on the society page was a surprise. Miss Mary Ellen Wells who is em- ployed by that famous lawyer, Jim Ebersole at Fostoria, Ohio, and who has been successful in her business career is going to change her last name at an early summer wedding. Well, Jim, it looks as if you'll have to look for a new secretary. Maybe your wife can help you out. Lavera Ernerine is a receptionist for a dentist in Findlay, Ohio. She seems to enjoy her job im- mensely. I mustn't forget my neighbor, Kenneth Gaert- ner, who owns and operates Kenny's Super Supreme DeLux Market on South Main Street in Fostoria, Ohio. He has just about taken all the business all because he has motorized the shopping baskets. Don't forget to listen tonight at 9:30 to another member of the class of '51, Thomas Wentworth, who plays the leading role in The Hermit's Cave . If you have seen Tom lately, you know that he has grown a two-foot beard. Tom feels that to get the right effects on his radio show he has to live the same way in ordinary life. Well, our time is up now, radio friends, and so we shall have to close our program for today. Our sponsor today, Mr. Cunningham, is also a member of the class of '51. Although Rex never drives a Chrysler in bad weather he will vehe- mently assure you that they will run. And so this is Kathryn Marvin signing off for Memory Lanen and hoping that you will listen again next week at the same time, when we shall peek into the lives of another group of people. --Kathryn Marvin NOLLER'S GARAGE Arcadia, Ohio
