Now in our Junior year we have forty-two students. We have participated in many school activltles. In the fall of 1947, we presented a program initiating the Freshmen. Three Juniors had leading parts in a Thanksgiv- Ing Play. They were Pat Groves, Jim Dorsey, and John Simpson. A Junior Christmas Party ended the half-year mark. Highlights that we are looking forward to this year are the Junior Play, and the Junior-Senior Banquet. ln 1948 we shall become Seniors with a whole year of companionship and work together, work which will lead to a successful future, we hope. 18 f 1 66444 7?50 FIRST ROW-Shirley Riley, Betty Jones, Lois Jane Rider, Eileen Snider, Bonnie Kilburn, Margaret Felheim, Patricia Wood, Dolores Bunnell, Alberta Leonard, Carol Schafer, Marlene Walsh, Joan Hatfield.

Next year when they become upperclassmen and members ot the Junior Class we all believe that they will take their duties and responsibilities well in trying to put our school on top. We hope that all fifty-six Sophomores stick together and continue this good work throughout the next two years and make the class of '50 one of the best graduating classes ever. 19 65444 of 7757 FIRST ROW-Fred Irons, Bill Raby, Richard Naylor, Gilbert Whitacre, Bobby Weibley, George Swear- ingen, Calvin Bolling, Louis Hanes.

Yvonne Rothwell In the fall of '47 a group of eager children entered Junior High School with sixty members, all of whom hoped to finish this school term and to continue the coming yearsltogether. Under the guiding hand of Miss Bowe, the home room teacher, the seventh graders are looking forward to the future when they will have become eligible to enter Senior High School. They intend to do all that they possibly can, and will- ingly, to promote any activities that will be of any benefit to the school. Each year they will be bigger and better. Co-operation is needed if the seventh graders obtain the goal for which they are strivlng. 22 66444 Ufficew mx my fs LEFT TO RIGHT-Joanne Foster, Betty Jo Griffith, Dan Garrison, Ann Ferneau The class omcers are chosen by the maiority vote of selected for this year was Betty Jo Grifflthg Vice-President, Joanne Fosterg and Treasurer, Ann Ferneau.

First and foremost in our record is that of being the largest class ever to graduate from Blanchester High School. Since this class is made up, not only of students of the Blanchester school district, but also of students of the neigh- boring villages of Edenton and Butlerville, we will include the history of these classes up until the Freshman year, in their own schools. Flrst, however, let us look back twelve years into the past in Blanchester. In the year 1936, fifty-three boys and girls entered the first grade in Blanchester School. Of this large class, only fourteen are now members of the Senior Class. They are as follows: Betty Lou Culberson, Anne Dewey, Richard Dewey, Ann Ferneau, Joanne Foster, Dan Garrison, Betty Jo Griffith, Donald Harness, Patricia Kelly, Bette Jane Patterson, Mary Esther Shaffer, Lewis Shank, Jimmy Joe Smith, and Beverly Villars. During our six-year stay in the old building as elementary pupils we lost many of our fellow-classmates but gained the following: Second grade-Eugene Lucas, from Woodville, Barbara Snyder from Omaha, Nebraska, Paul High, from Edenton. Third grade-Betty Ruth Sattertield. Fifth grade-Beatrice Valentine from Butlerville, Max Taylor. Sixth grade-Robert Magill, Clayton Brumfield from Edenton. Also while we were still students in the elementary grades we acquired several honors. One of the biggest of these, of which we are all proud, is that of winning Bibles and New Testaments in the fifth grade for selling pictures. In l942, we entered the new building as Junior High students in the seventh grade. During this year we acquired two new students, Harry Ledford from Butler- ville, and Vera Brown from Clarksville. Our eighth grade was increased by four people: Clarence France from Frankfort, Daryl Cadwallader from Jefferson, Pauletta Davidson from Morrow, and Willodene Moore from Edenton. In this grade we all saved our nlckles and dimes and bought a S25 war bond. Also, -as is customary, an American Legion Award was given to the girl and to the boy with the most out- standing records in this grade. Clayton Brumfield and Ann Ferneau were given these awards. Edenton Meanwhile in Edenton another part of this class was being formed. ln the little two-room school house began a class of twenty-four, of which three remain. The originals who have been together for these past twelve years are: Virginia Charles- 24 66444 qfdatafzq ton, Donald Conover, and Edna Mae Hill. The expansion of this class was slow but steady. In the second grade the additions were the Doughman twins, Doris and Dorthy, who have been with us ever since. The next year was quite an experience for this group, for at that time two rooms were added to the original building. Dur- ing the construction, the first three gr-ades were separated from the rest of the school and the Masonic Hall was used as a school house. While we were there, Thomas White from Kentucky ioined us. The next year was an enioyable one since this was the time when we moved into the new building. Lloyd Caldwell from Blanchester became a member of our class in 1939. Willodene Moore was one of the most changeable persons in the class, probably due to the fact that she moved to different schools three times in one year. In the seventh grade we had another addition, this time it was Mildred Long. And last but not least is Garland Crawford from Fayetteville, whom we acquired in the eighth grade. We gradu-ated from the eighth grade in 1944 and traveled on to Blanchester to become Freshmen. Butlerville Now we turn to Butlerville where another group of this class of 1948 was starting on the long iourney toward graduation. For two years Harold McLaughlin was the only one of this class at the old school building in Butlerville. ln 1938 a new bulld- ing was built and James Agin from Morrow and Margie Boyd from Pleasant Plaln ioined Harold here at the beginning of the third grade. ln the fifth grade Gertrude D-avis from Wallace, West Virginia, entered. Edna Logsdon from Plainfield and Jerry Wise from Stockton ioined us in the sixth grade. ln 1944, we too, graduated from the eighth grade -and iourneyed to Blanchester to become Freshmen. ln September of 1944 these three groups were united into a record-breaking class of seventy-three Freshmen in Blanchester. Besides the fifteen pupils from Edenton and Butlerville, we added to our class this year Ann lrvin from Jacksontown, Deloris Snider from Moores Fork, and Emma Wierman from Stanton, Kentucky. Our class officers for this year were Anne Dewey, President, Harold Mclaughlin, Secretary, and Treasurer. Two members of our class were chosen to be basketball cheerleaders. They were Barbara Snyder and Beverly Villars. The Senior Class chose Ann Ferneau and Betty Lou Culberson as flower girls to officiate at the commencement exercises. During the Freshman year we lost nine, but gained four pupils making our Sopho- more Class have sixty-eight. The four new-comers were .lohn Jones, from Goshen, Samuel Plear, from Wheelwright, Kentucky, Jo-an Ruscher, from Loveland, and Irene Groves, from Monroe. Donald Schram also ioined us this year, but left at the end of the school term. Our class officers for this year were Clarence France, President, Betty Jo Griffith, Vice-President, Donald Schram, Secretary and Treasurer. This year Daryl Cadwallader represented our class on our high school basketball team which 25 H444 3164 won the county tournament. The cheerleaders were of course behind the team, and they were also from our class-Barbara Snyder, Betty Lou Culberson and Jimmy Joe Smith. At the Basketball Homecoming Festival, Irene Groves was an attendant to the Homecoming Queen. At last one of our most important years arrived. We were now Juniors. We added to our class this year Phyllis Burton, Mercedes Kissick, from Loveland, and John Teevan. Our class officers for this year were Clayton Brumfield, President, Anne Dewey, Vice-President, John Jones, Secretary, and Patricia Kelly, Treasurer. Blan's basketball team made a great showing this year, and Daryl Cadwallader, Eugene Lucas, and Harry Ledford represented our class. The cheerleaders were again from our class. They were Barbara Snyder and Beverly Villars. At the Basketb-all Home- coming Festivities, Beverly Villars was an attendant to the Homecoming Queen. On April 18 of this year we presented as our class play, Janie's One Track Mind. A large crowd -attended and we prospered well from it. We entertained the Seniors on May 2 at the Junior and Senior Banquet, where a delicious dinner followed by a dance was enioyed by all. At the graduation exercises of this year, Harold McLaugh- lin was chosen by the American Legion to represent the Blanchester High School at Boys' State. Now we enter our final and most important year. We acquired as classmates this year the twins, Delma and Wilma Van Natta, from Clarksville, Evelyn Fawley, from Port William, and Ronald Tucker, from Lynchburg. Our class officers are Betty Jo Griffith, President, Dan Garrison, Vice-President, Joanne Foster, Secretary, and Ann Ferneau, Treasurer. On October l7 of this year we presented A Date With Judy as our class play. A record-breaking crowd attended and obtained for usa large sum. This money made it possible for our class to back the first annual in eleven years for Blanchester High School. Our basketball season got off to a good start with Daryl Cadwallader, Eugene Lucas, and Harry Ledford throwing in the baskets for our class. Beverly Villars, Barbara Snyder 'and Ann Irvin are the Senior cheerleaders. Jimmy Joe Smith was elected president of the Athletic Association. We have faced hardships, but we have come through to make a successful climax. So we leave this class history as ia reminder to future graduates that, although it is a rough and painful iourney, school can be a happy and satisfying experience. 26 66444 Wd!!

I Betty Jo Griffith DON HARNESS, Editor Ann Ferneau Joanne Foster I Dan Garrison Witnesses 78 5444 N THE YEAR OF 1968, in an exclusive district of New York, we find two middle aged proprietors of a vey select tea room. These two women, Edna Mae Hill and Willodene Moore, were preparing to take a cross country trip. During their absence, the tea room in New York was to be entirely redecorated by an old classmate, Jimmy Joe Smith, who had gained international fame as a decorator. intending to go by airplane part way, they boarded a bus headed for the air- port. Much to their surprise, they found Katie Stone lnee Wiermanl operating the bus for her sick husband. They arrived safely at La Guardia Field, where they entered an airplane en route to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At the plane door they were greeted by an old friend, Ann Ferneau, the hostess. She told them that they were fortunate in having as their pilot, Thomas White, who had an enviable record for safe flight. They had a comfortable trip to Pittsburgh. In this city they had planned to buy a car in which to continue their iourney. At the Tucker Automobile Sales Room, they were introduced to a former classmate, Ronald Tucker, who was the general manager. He was so delighted to see them that he gave them a one percent discount on their cash purchase of the newest iet engined car. ln less than an hour, they reached Columbus, Ohio. Here they stayed over night because they wished to see the Ohio State Fair which was then in session. looking at the annual horse show, held in the Colosseum, they spied a beautiful palomino, being ridden by a blonde, who by the way, was Beverly Villars. They found out from her that she was living near Sandusky, Ohio, and training her own herd of thoroughbreds. When the horse show was over, they roamed the fair grounds and were surprised to see Harry Ledford loaded down with five children, all wanting candy and ice cream. They learned he had a rich farm near Sabina, Ohio, and was doing quite well. Edna Mae and Willodene arose at lO o'clock the next morning for their breakfast. When they finished visiting Columbus, they drove toward Cincinnati, stopping at good Ole BIan, their home town. They were astonished to find that Blanchester had become quite a hustling city, and the citizens had to employ the use of street cars and buses to get to the downtown business districts. On the corners of South Broadway and Main, they noticed signs indicating that Vera Brown had become a successful pharmacist and was the owner of Walker's and also Spence's drug stores with a dapper middle aged man named Max Taylor as general manager of Spence's. Anne and Dick Dewey had taken over their fathers' business--once qulte profitable. Dan Garrison was situated very neatly amidst thousands and thousands of chickens -lt seems he had a hatchery, but the sales were slow. Two days later, they left for Cincinnati and continued through to Indiana. As they were crawling along at two hundred miles an hour, a traffic cop appeared from nowhere. He was none other than James Agin, who told them they were a nuisance to traffic going so slowly, but he let them go on without any ticket. A hot radiator caused them to stop at a filling station in Illinois to get water. A 29 66444 pw keep grease monkey appeared. lt was Paul High-two hundred pounds of brawn and muscle. Quite a surprise! They paused a short while in Missouri to hear a political campaign speech by Garland Crawford. After eight years of speeches he was still campaigning unsuc- cessfully for a seat in Congress. His opponent, Don Conover, a Republican by the way, kept getting re-elected because of Garland's speeches. Next they went through Iowa. Willodene decided her hair was a bit wind-blown, so she stopped at the Tired and Taggard, Trim and Trickey, twenty-four hours a day Beauty Shoppe. There she was ushered to a seat by none other than Madame Irene Dupre Inee Irene Grovesi. Willodene was really altered for the better and departed with a beautiful coiffure. They went onward to Sioux City and midway they were shaken up quite a bit by a traffic accident with a trans-continental truck. They were removed in an ambulance, which had trouble getting through all the glass and vehlcle parts. Their car was sent to the You Wreckum, We Fixum service station. At the hospital, where Edna Mae and Willodene lay unconscious, a pert nurse named Boyd-lMargie, that isi aided in the transfusion for Edna Mae. Another nurse, Beatrice Valentine, used miles of gauze on Willodene. The head nurse, Miss Doris Doughman, took time out to visit the aching patients when they recovered consciousness. She told them of her success as a nurse and they relived the good old times when they were mere childish seniors. When the two patients emerged from the hospital, they looked quite different. Edna Mae had her arm in a sling and Willodene looked like a mummy from Egypt. They went to the garage to see about their car. The manager, Samuel Plear, who had made quite a bit of money in his trade, said it would take only another hour or so to complete the repairs. Edna Mae went to a nearby book store to gather some reading material. She picked up a novel named Heaven's Sake by Gertrude Davis, a celebrated novelist. Of course, she bought it for sentimental reasons. She was rummaging through some poetry and found some articles by a poet named Delma Van Natta, of all people. Naturally, she bought that too. When the car was ready, they proceeded on toward the wide open spaces. In Omaha, Nebraska, they spent the week end, at a resort called the Sucker's Retreat managed by a little lady in her late, late, late thirties, a Mrs. Cartwight Inee Bette Jane Pattersonl, whose husband had died of paint poisoning. Their rooms were put in order by Mrs. Townsend lnee Mary Esther Shafferl, who was in partnership with Mrs. Cartwright. There they met a celebrity named Betty lou La Year lnee Betty Lou Culbersoni, who was an actress. They sold there was also an old maid, who had two million dollars, rooming there. Her name? Joan Ruscher! What an old home week they had! With regretful goodbyes they started off once more. This time they were going to Running River, Wyoming. A short trip through the surrounding country revealed 30 H6444 p'l0l4Z6Q that a Range Boss, named Lloyd Caldwell, was working hard at riding herd. They chatted a while, and then they drove on. Back in town, Edna Mae admired a trim skirt in a window and went in to purchase it. Whom else did she meet but Betty Satter- field. She was chief dressmaker of that establishment and was making over two hundred dollars per week. They went on through the state of Wyoming and when they reached the border, they stopped at a small diner for lunch. They sat near a middle aged man fiddling with a microscope. He was muttering something about the germs in all foods. When he looked up to give his order, they recognized that he was none other than Jerry Wise. He always carried the microscope with him, he said, because he was in hopes of discovering new germs. Behind the counter was a snappy soda ierk named Luke, who turned out to be the most successful soda ierk in the busi- ness, Eugene Lucas. They bade their old friends goodbye, and then traveled toward Salt Lake City, Utah. There they visited a huge salt concern and found Miss Edna Logsdon, private secretary to the General Manager, who she planned to marry two weeks later. At the Salt Lake Beach, they found a beautiful skyscraper hot dog stand, owned and managed by Mildred Long. She had made millions on soft drinks alone. That night they went to the famous fight arena to see the wrestlers match their skills. Two figures came out into the ring. Since they had front row seats, they could 'nake out clearly the faces of the two contestants. One was iwould you believe it?l Virginia Charleston, with one hundred and ninety pounds of muscular weight to her credit. She was the undefeated woman champion. They visited with her after her bout and then went to a hotel for the night. The next morning they crossed into Nevada. Stopping at Reno, they registered at the Last Frontler Hotel for the night. They were taken up to the eighth floor by a pert elevator operator, who looked familiar. It was Mercedes Kissick. It seems she had been divorced and iust stayed. In the dining room, they were dazzled by the glitter of diamonds flashing in their faces. Behind all the make-up, they recognized Patty Kelly. She had made literally millions on the stock market after taking economics in Hlgh School. They left early the next morning, singing California, Here I Come. They went directly to Los Angeles where they spent a week with an old friend, John Jones, a married man with six children. He was coaching the U. C. L. A. football team. They took a tour of all the moving picture studios. The director on the M. G. M. set of Rastus was a red haired gentleman named Clarence France, but they hardly knew him, for he had straight and not-so-much red hair. The leading actress in the production was none other than Wilma Van Natta, acting under the name of Taffy l.ouhearst. She was a comedian, and the play was about the way people acted way back in 1948 and l949. They next toured the Paramount lot. There they found the chief man, named Don 31 66444 fcafbdecg Harness, busily engaged in photographing a gorgeous blonde kissing her grand- father, Clark Gable. On the Warner Brothers lot they found a brilliant new hairdresser named Mme. Pauletta Dukayne lnee Davidsonl arranging Margaret O'Brien's mop. Every star wanted Pauletta to do her hair styling. She was famous! Edna Mae and Willodene decided to retire for the day. At the Jones' home, they found Evelyn Fawley taking care of John's two younger children. She had formed a corporation of baby sitters and was making vast profits. Willodene had been having horrible dreams and decided to go to the best psychologist in the city. When she went in for a consultation, she was astounded to see Clayton Brumfield. He diagnosed her case and found she would have to give up eating ketchup sandwiches. As she was walking back to her car, she noticed a huge refrigeration concern next door. She became curious, so she went in and looked around. Daryl Cad- wallader stepped up to ask her if she wished information. He recognized her and told her of his success. He had built his success around the fact that he sold freezing plants to Eskimos, as well as to Egyptians. The two travelers decided they would not impose on the Jones' any longer, so they packed up and left early the next morning. This time they went through beautiful Death Valley. They gazed upon a lovely mesa situated in a quaint section with green grasses, trees, and water. They stopped to get a drink and to satisfy their curiosity. There they saw a training ring full of brilliantly colored horseflesh. The character snapping the whip to seek their attention was none other than Betty Jo Griffith. She prepared for her two old classmates a delicious lunch and told them of her success as an artist, which had enabled her to purchase the ranch. They bade her farewell and went on into the heavenly sunset. As they approached Tucson, Arizona, they bumped fenders with a very famous chemist, Harold Mclaughlin. He disclosed his success story to them about how he had a laboratory all his own and was producing a few of his own products on the side. When they left him, they forgot all about the ruffled fenders and went on into Tucson. They stopped at one of the larger hotels and acquired a room. As they went to the hotel dining room that night, they were seated next to a millionaire. He was none other than Robert Magill, the famous real estate man, who invited them to his table where they talked for hours. The next morning, they arose bright and early and finished breakfast before day light. They proceeded onward to the Texas border, by a route which took them directly to Dallas. They were iust in time for a rodeo. Willodene purchased tickets and got a seat close to the ring. A voice bellowed loudly over the loud speaker, Next contestant is a little lady from Ohio. Her name is Dorthy Doughman. With her is her trained cayuse, 'Spider'. Edna Mae and Willodene watched eagerly. 32 66444 pfzapiecg Dorthy was a very good rlder and held the crowd In awe. They met her at the corral later, and renewed old acquaintances. All three went to a nice restaurant for dinner, and Dorthy was amazed at the modern conveniences which she saw. She learned that this was one of the many owned by Edna Mae and Willodene and that it was managed by Barbara Snyder, whose outstanding business ability combined with her flair for the ultra modern had bullt up a remarkable reputation. lt was here that the business partners tried out new plans. Proceeding on their trip, they traveled leisurely for a clay, then entered Kansas. At this point they decided to check on the work of Jimmy Joe, so they went to the Bell Telephone Comp-any. There they found Deloris Snider, the manager of all the telephone operators. She had been voted Most Pleasant Operator in the Entlre United States. They left Kansas in a cloud of dust and now were coming into Alabama. They stopped at a drive-in to get some food, when a huge truck drove up dellverlng popcorn. lt was from the large popcorn concern owned and run by Lewls Shank. Of course, they bought some and found it delicious. Driving into Miami late that evening, they went to see the fashionable Lawn Dale pool. There amidst the sweet music and floating lilies, were paradlng georgous models, showing off their beauty in appealing bathing suits. Among the Interested by-standers, Ann lrvln, exquisitely gowned, introduced her husband who was proud of Ann's reputation as a skater in the very popular Ice Follies Company. Their vacation was rapidly dr-awing to a close, so they chose a route along the Atlantlc Coast line to take them back to New York. As they passed through Washington, D. C., they happened to find Joanne Foster, chief bookkeeper for the Senate. She gave them a delightful supper in her luxurious apartment and sent them on their way in a cheerful mood. At last they were at home again, but to top it all off, a baseball game between New York and Brooklyn was to take place that afternoon. Luckily a few of thelr friends couldn't go, so they were given their tickets. Among the players, they recog- nized the great John Teevan, Home Run King of the year. The Dodgers won 30 to 0 with Teevan as the winning pitcher. After securing his autograph, they talked awhlle with hlm and then they returned to the tearoom, which they had left ln the hands of the competent Jimmy Joe. The results of his redecoratlng were entlrely satisfactory. Edna Mae and Willodene spent many happy hours reviewing thelr summer's vacation, which had so unexpectedly turned Into a series of short vlslts with their classmates of Old Blan Hlgh. 33 NAME James Agin Margie Boyd Vera Brown Clayton Brumfield Daryl Cadwallader Lloyd Caldwell Don Conover Virginia Charleston Garland Crawford Betty Lou Culberson Pauletta Davidson Gertrude Davis Anne Dewey Richard Dewey Doris Doughman Dorthy Doughman Evelyn Fawley Ann Ferneau Joanne Foster Clarence France Dan Garrison Betty Jo GriFfith Irene Groves Donald Harness Paul High Edna Mae Hill Ann Irvin John Jones emhz Drheotazq NICKNAME Jughead snMarg1v Brownie Cad Leo Don Ginnie Pa Wah Cubby Polly Gertie IIAHHIGII Dick Zeke ..DodS,. ..Eve.t Annie HJC., Curly Garry Josie Grovesie Press Muscles llEynie!1 Maddie A Jackson I1 FAVORITE SAYING You'd be surprised Oh nuts Sam Nuts Thunder You all Oh, I wouldn't say that Jeepers You want to make a little wager?

They practice twice a week, and play various compositions. There are three cellos, four clarinets, five violins, six trumpets, one saxophone, two French horns, one bass, one trombone, one oboe, three drummers, and one flute.

This small space is the gathering place of studious and sometimes non-studious pupils, whose activities are guided by the library staff. The head librarian is always a senior. This year John Jones has that position. His duty and that of his assistants ls to see that all the books are properly marked, cards in the proper places, dues paid and all books on the proper shelves. Three of our more industrious freshmen boys lRobert Putman, Carl Hawthorne, 'and Fred lronsl have undertaken to repair one-hundred and fifty otherwise non- usable books. The boys have worked months and have come along nicely. Miss Smith, has a staff of earnest students to work with. All they need is more room.

Mr. Chance with his experience and scientific knowledge helps conduct these experiments and also helps with any other problems which arise in the class. The lab is one of the best equipped for physics and chemistry in a school the size of Blanchester. Physics and chemistry are alternated every other year, Mr. Chance being instruc- tor for both subiects. In chemistry there are also two lab days a week in which experiments are performed also from a workbook. This laboratory also serves the General Science and Biology Classes. 48 ammefzcdcll Zqamlmeal To those students who are preparing to be stenographers, typists, secretaries, and bookkeepers, the Commercial Department offers training in the basic principles of business. This serves as a foundation upon which to build for proficiency in these positions later, through practical experience or through advanced training in these fields. ln the business education classes, accuracy, concentration, initiative, enthusiasm, cooperation, loyalty, and other desirable traits are developed, which contribute to success in the business and also in the social world. 49 qfame canamdca N-N. i . R Home Economics is a unique laboratory class which deals with the practical prob- lems of homemaking and family relations. During the class periods the girls study the principal problems of cooking, and sewing, with the related subiects ofthe home, such as child care, personal appearance, manners, and similar topics. This class is conducted in an informal manner to allow the girls to proceed with individual work as rapidly as possible. As the year advances, difterent phases of keeping the home will be discussed. Home Economics is considered a very practical course for those who intend to make marriage and homemaking a career. 50 7vwlu419z6aZ 1440 The industrial arts department is well on its way to an expanded program this year. Every pupil is given a large choice of pursuits to follow. The boys are being Introduced to many of the arts and industries of our mechanical age. Through their natural interests in tools, materials, and in an informal atmosphere not possible in other classes, every one is progressing rapidly toward such educationally desirable accomplishments as learning skills, gaining consumer knowledge, finding avocational Interests, and getting Ideas on a future occupational choice. ln an easy-to-take way the boys are learning such socially acceptable traits as pride of good workmanship, safety, sanitation, and proper respect for property. It is the aim of the department to have an excellent and large selection of tools ln the best condition by the end of the year. Many previously idle tools and machines are being put into usable condition. The hopes for the future of this department are bright, indeed, especially with the aid of an interested and ambitious 1947 student body working under their competent instructor, Mr. Krumm. 51 W? - c --p-1-r FIRST ROW-Carl Hawthorne, Mitchell Shank, Jerry Wise, Willard Jones, Bill Wise.

THIRD ROW-Thomas White, Charles Day, Harry Ledford, Neal Brown, Ronald Weaver Whenever there is a play, assembly, banquet, or party, the stage crew is always on hand. Their work is to arrange scenery, plan lighting, make sound effects, pull curtains, and do all the little things necessary for a smooth production. There are sixteen members ofthe stage crew. Each grade is represented with four members. The stage crew members must be carpenters, artists, electricians, critics, and iust plain stage hands. The two biggest iobs the stage crew had this year were the Senior and Junior class plays. The members of the stage crew spend many hours before the plays in making flats, backings, tloodlights, stairs, etc. You can be sure when you see a play that much thought and labor by the stage crew has gone into it. The head of the stage crew is the stage manager. He organizes the stage crew, arranges for making scenery and properties, sees that the actors are called for their cues, holds and marks the prompt book, and in every way relieves the director of executive detail. Mrs. Chance, director, is responsible for training and advising the crew. The stage manager for this year is Jerry Wise. 52 SECOND ROW-Ann Ferneau, Anne Dewey, Beatrice Valentine, Joan Ruscher, Mary Esther Shaffer amine Elma Zag 7 ?4 7 JANEY'S ONE-TRACK MIND FIRST ROW-Joanne Foster, Bette Jane Patterson, Beverly Villars, Patty Kelly, Betty Lou Culberson Virginia Charleston. 1 1 Mrs. Chance.

Judy Foster, a typical teen-ager, while trying to raise money for the Community Relief Fund in order to be crowned queen of the dance, which the community is sponsoring, is involved in many embarrassing predicaments. Her schemes to raise money involve her friends and particularly her family. Judy finally accomplished her goal at the last moment after she has upset the quiet of her home and has almost lost some of her best friends. The plot was very good and the players performed ably under the competent direction of Mrs. Chance. The crowd was the largest ever to attend a class play at Blanchester High School and the money obtained from the ticket sales gave us courage to underwrite this Annual. COACH ROBERT JACOBY Q f .

To form the nucleus of this year's team are several hold-overs from the team that copped the second place trophy in last year's County Track Meet. These include: Herman Llming, Sam Plear, Jimmy Smith, Jerry Wise and Jimmy Dorsey In the track events: Gene lucas, Daryl Cadwallader, and Clayton Brumfield in the field events. Working along with these boys will be a lot of promising new talent. This year the Blue and White speedsters will be trying to repeat or better last year's record.

They were chosen by popular election from a group of approximately twenty girls. Since the time of this choice- Hard work has been their policy, and the Glory of Blanchester their aim. As the team continues to be victorious and the school spirit rides high, our hats are oft to the girls who have worked hard to create this spirit. Alternate Cheerleader GAYLE RISE For the first time in the history of Blan High, a substitute cheerleader was used. Whenever it was impossible for one of the regular cheerleaders to appear at a game, Gayle was at hand, ready and willing, to take her place. A dilticult task-but well done by a very able girl. 63 :Leia Saftfczli emu FIRST ROW-Doris Doughman, Dorthy Doughman, Beatrice Valentine, Emma Wierman, Joan Ruscher, Charma Lee Creager, Vera Lucas, Margaret Felheim.

The primary tasks which the council has to perform are such things as selling tickets at home games, meeting the visiting team, meeting the referees, counting all the money taken in and registering it in the school books. The money is all banked and registered by the principal of the high school, Mr. Chance. At the first of the basketball year the Council sponsored a large bonfire rally which included a parade with the High School Band and concluded with a large bonfire with the cheerleaders leading the crowd in many cheers. The Council is made up every year of members representing each grade of the high school with the president elected from the Senior Class. This year's Council consists of President, Jimmy Joe Smith, Senior representative, Donald Conover, Junior representative, George Roby, Sophomore representative, Carol Schafer, Freshman representative, Calvin Bolling, Eighth Grade, Bob Ferneau, Seventh Grade, Richard Hixson.
