THE ARCH-HI KNOT Published by SENIOR CLASS ARCHBOLD HIGH SCHOOL Archbold, Ohio Because we are the first class to gradu- ate from the Archbold-German consolidated school we wish to mark the new era by publishing another edition of the school annual ‘The ARCH-HI. Believing that the public school is one of the strong cords that binds our community together we have chosen for our book the title. ‘‘The KNOT.” It is our hope that in years to come, when you browse through these pages you may recall fond memories of high school days and perhaps occasionally experience a reminder of something that you might have been.

CONSOLIDATION After many years of a dual system of schools in German Township and the Archbold Village School Districts, an official movement to consolidate them was begun on March 20th, 1937. A resolution v as passed by the German Township Board on that date stating that “all schools under our jurisdiction be closed indefinitely at the end of the present school year, 1936-1937, and the pupils of the respective districts be assigned to the Archbold Village Schools....“ The various stages of petitioning, county board action , remonstrance, division of territory and numerous legal steps were duly taksn to complete the merger. The county board of education appointed th= following local board of edu- cation to control the consolidated district: Dr. E. A. Murbach. John Leupp, O. A. Bourquin, George Rupp. Harold Stotzer. The board was organized Monday, July 5th, 1937, according to law with Dr. Murbach, president; John Leupp, vice president, and A. T. Desboeufs. clerk-treasurer. Thus, on July 12th, 1937, the end of the remonstrance period, the district was officially consolidated and a new era was started. On Friday, November 5th, 1937, the little red schoolhouses that had served German Township for so long were sold at public auction and the dual system of former years became the Archbold-German Township Consolidated Schools.

We’re on our way—to the Eden of our dreams, the day next year when we shall stand—proudly arrayed in cap and gown, prepara- tory to bidding farewell to our high school. In our three years our destiny has been guided first by James Frey, then by Robert Snowberger and this year by Paul Christy. Our number has remained about the same and we bid fair to set a new record for size of class when we graduate. We have another feather in our cap in the form of “The Arch-Ette,” the newspaper edited by our class. We think our expedition into the field of journal- ism has turned out very gratifyingly and we hope that succeeding classes may continue in the path we have charted for them. Our class has excelled in basketball. Our reserves, made up almost entire- ly of juniors, were undefeated this year, besides furnishing some of the material for the varsity. In basketball and track we have more than done our share. The Blue Streaks should show other teams their dust next year. Under the guidance of Miss McCurdy we staged a Junior-Senior banquet which we feel sure set a standard of excellence for classes to come. All in all, we think A. H. S.’s Class of 1939 quite outstanding. We have loads of pep, ambition and enthusiasm and we really expect to get places. So watch us! We're on our way!

We sophomores- or merely ex-freshies—entered our memorable second year of high school with forty-six members. We left very few of our “Frosh” classmates behind. We elected Junior Rupp as our chief Knot tier along with Helen Clingaman as his assistant and with Paul Bock to hold the ropes. We are an exceedingly good looking, very intelligent group of young people filled with a rugged determination to make the best of the situations which present themselves before our searching eyes. We are better than the average, and rate fairly well with all the teachers, due to our extraordinarily pleasing personalities. Our class has been active in the various musical, athletic, and dramatic organizations of the school. We have had much enjoyment from playing basket- ball during the noon hour. Others have enjoyed watching and cheering their players on to win. This will to win has permeated the whole class and we expect much from our athletes before we finish our high school course. We have given two short plays before the Wednesday Assembly. We took part in the school play given in the fall. We have shown not a little dramatic talent for the future. We have furnished baseball, basketball, and track material that will some day put the Blue Streaks back on the map. The old adage “Sophisticated Sophomores” still remains in our minds' eye as we see the young people of our sophomore class plodding up the treadworn stairway to success and fame.

Absent Fred Fricke, Laurine Yoder. Last fall thirty-four boys and girls entered the A. H. S. and joined the twenty-six who had called the Archbold school home ever since they entered the first grade. The first few days we wandered aimlessly around, wondering what it was all about. Everyone else was bewildered too, for even the faculty wasn’t ready for so many of us. However, we soon grew accustomed to our new home and convinced the teachers that we were made of good stuff by fitting into our places and getting to work conscientiously. To begin the year right, we elected Christine Lauber, president: Gretchen Spoerle, vice-president; and Loretta Lugbill, secretary-treasurer. The rude sophomores told us we were a discredit to the school and pro- ceeded to scare our greenness away with firecrackers and howling at our initia- tion. They gloated in their dictatorship, but not long afterward we manifested our finer qualities by giving them a return party at which we made the Sophs throw off school dignity for a brief time and enjoy the company of their inferior schoolmates. Oh. yes, speaking of parlies, that’s our favorite way to break the regular class routine. We like to throw kisses (candy kisses) at Mr. Farber and Miss McCurdy. Our only regret is that their birthdays come but once a year. We claim to be the largest freshmen class in the history of the school and this, together with the closing of the little red schoolhouses, makes our fresh- man year one to be remembered in the history of the education attainments of German Towmship. Judging from our picture above, we are the best-looking class (at least we think so). No doubt, we have superior intelligence, too. In our num- ber we have a band leader, a scientist, a great lover, a social star, and others who are just plain, ordinary, good students. We have not excelled in everything. But we feel richer than ever before for we have grown intellectually, won new friends, and helped each other to convert stumbling blocks into stepping stones. But why should the teachers ex- pect so much of us? After all, we’re only Freshmen. Front Row—Lois Neuhauser, Ernest Gricser, Theola Dimke.

Members must have earned a school letter and a certificate, showing that they have participated in at least one-half the innings in baseball (one-third for pitchers); one-half the quarters in basketball; or earned twenty points in track. The head cheerleader and manager receive the same yearly award. After the first award in a sport, certificates only are presented until the senior year. For four certificates the athlete then receives a bronze medal; for six certificates, a silver medal, and for nine certificates, a gold medal. The requirements for a medal are placed high enough so that only those who really merit them may receive the aw’ards. veil Hill Scjiind Front row: Harold Merillat a steady reserve man who could be relied upon. Junior Walter—our reserve acrobat. Tom Polite—our red-haired reserve center.

Loses 14 BASKETBALL GAMES 1937-38 Nov. 24 KUNKLE here. The opener proved to be a nip-and-tuck affair. Winzeler paced the Streaks with 12 points in the last half. The final gun found the Streaks with their first league victory under their belts. Nov. 30 AT RIDGEVILLE. Defeat first came to the A. H. S. quintet as they bowed to their Henry County Rivals in a closely fought battle. Ripke led Ridgeville with 8 markers. Dec. 3 AT WAUSEON. The Blue and Gold bowed to the County-seat Rivals as Connin’s long shots kept them trailing throughout the contest. Dec. 10 AT WEST UNITY. The West Unity fracas proved to be quite a picnic for the Streaks. The final whistle found the A. H. S. lads on top as Merillat and Winzeler hit the basket for 10 points each. Dec. 14 AT PETTIS VILLE. Fighting desperately against the height of 6’ 6” Jim Weber who tallied 16 markers, the Blue and Gold sensed their third defeat in five starts. Dec. 30 DEVILBISS HERE.

The Blue and Gold rallied in the fourth quarter but felJ short of the Pettisville lads by 12 points, a repetition of the first encounter, but by a larger score. Jan. 7 AT STRYKER. Stryker’s small floor proved to be a handicap to the Archbold boys, as they lost a close one. The high point of this game was the scoring of Frey who tallied 17 points paced by Sines of the home team with 12. Jan. 8 FAYETTE took the league lead as Stoner swished the ball through the net for 15 points. Jan. 12 WAUSEON HERE. Again the boys from the County-seat proved to be supreme. The game was quite close until the final quarter when Wauseon turned on the steam. Jan. 14 AT PIONEER. Fighting desperately against the one handed shots of Miller, Pioneer forward, the Streaks again went down to defeat. The Streaks put on a last- half rally but not enough to overtake their rivals. Jan. 20 WEST UNITY HERE. This game proved to be a repetition of the first en- counter as the Streaks overwhelmed the boys from the Northwest. The Blue and Gold showed an improved style of ball handling throughout the game. Jan. 28 AT FAYETTE. Fayette clinched the league title as they disposed of the local lads. The Streaks again put on a last-half rally but w'ere unable to match the brilliant play of Stoner, Fayette’s center. Feb. 1 AT KUNKLE. The Archbold lads closed their road trips of the season with an 18 to 19 victory over the Green and White from Kunkle. Winzeler scored the winning basket with 15 seconds to play. Feb. 4 PIONEER HERE. Pioneer again outclassed the local lads. Miller proved to be unstoppable as he scored 17 markers which was the margin of victory. Feb. 15 RIDGEVILLE HERE. Ridgeville was the twelfth loss of the season, as the Streaks completed a not-too-commendable season. The team, how'ever showed an im- proved style of ball for the coming tournament. The best game of the season from one point of view. TOURNAMENT Feb. 24. Fayette eliminated the Streaks from the Co. Tournameni at Wauseon. Completely outclassed in the first half, the boys came back and out- scored the victors in the second half too late. TOURNAMENT Feb. 26.

This social program has been promoted in the hope that it would foster a better fellowship and acquaintance among our students. Junior ()rchesfra Pres. Dean Slagle. Sec.

That kind always make. Mr. Parker, (making an announcement about the unemployment blanks to be filled out by parents)—“If anyone in your family has no work, or does not have enough work he should fill out a blank.” Bill Gegax - “Do they mean school work ?” Junior Walter has changed garages for his work before school mornings.

Junior-Senior Banquet Tonight, May 13, the swaggering pirate chieftain, Evelyn (Captain Kidd) Clingaman, and her band of fearless freebooters, the Junior Class, will lead their hapless captives, the Seniors, to their last banquet. The cafeteria will be decorated to represent the deck of a pirate ship with its black flag, cannon, boarding ladders and grappling hooks. The motley crew will be armed to the teeth with sabres, cut- lasses and slave whips. After the captives are assembled, they will be conducted to the galleys where the tables will be decorated with pirate flags, silverware captured in previous expedi- tions and with skull-and-crossbones for centerpieces. Table favors will be genuine Spanish doubloons for the ladies and pieces-of-eight for the gentlemen. The slave girls will serve a tasty dinner of sea food, caught off the coast of Madagascar. The Chief will lead his crew and captives in a jam session, in which several will narrate their most bloodcurdling experience of the last four years. There will be music pirate music—wild, tempestuous, savage. After the banquet all will go on deck for an hour of dancing. The pirates have captured a company of South Sea Islanders whose wierd, barbaric music will enthrall the company until the wee hours when the captives will be sentenced to walk the plank, blindfolded, to feed the sharks and fishes that infest these tropical waters. Puzzle—Who are the fishes? 'i • i1 rnjrinq fever The first senior play, “Spring Fever,” depicted the manner in which spring fever grips a college campus during the commencement season. Mrs. Spengler, whe keeps a rooming-house, is at her wit’s end trying to make rooming accomodations for her boys’ parents, who arrive for the Commencement. Amid all the mad rush, Howard Brant, a senior, types frantically at a term paper in zoology. To impede as well as facilitate matters are Vic Lewis, an art student; Ed Burns, a chemistry student, who experiments with a substitute for dynamite; Lou Herron, a journalism student; and Anna Purcell, who puts on a deathbed scene in order to achieve her purpose. Ed says. “I wish college were always like this.” The cast was coached by Mr. Warden.

We are presenting the mystery comedy—“The Eyes of Tlaloc”, by Agnes Peterson. The story is of John Wayne’s ranch in Arizona where a “Professor”, a prizefighter, an Indian, Mr. Wayne’s niece and her sweetheart all are interested in finding a treasure protected by an Indian god, Tlaloc, whose image Mr. Wayne has in his ranch house. The play abounds in thrills, surprises, fun, and action. The scene, a Western ranch house, is a novel setting for a unique play. The cast is coached by Mr. Parker.
