Buckeye High School - Reflector Yearbook (Medina, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1969 volume:

We pause for a moment to reflect on the scene of the past year. It was a year filled with COLOR . . . Events, places, and people . . . Studies, athletic events, plays and gatherings . . . Field trips, class rooms and bus rides . . . People whose interest and patience helped in the improvement of our lives and whose encouragement and guidance made these years of education possible . . . We will forever hold fond memories of this year and we are happy to have been a part of it. He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day be old, and remember when he is old, that he was once young. —Addison Reflections TABLE OF CONTENTS BEGINNING OF A NEW YEAR.........6 DANCES..........8,40,54 ATHLETICS ... 10, 28, 44 SENIORS..............58 DEDICATION...........74 ADMINISTRATION ... 76 FACULTY..............78 PERSONNEL............91 UNDERCLASSMEN ... 94 CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS ... 106 ADVERTISEMENTS 125 Color is so much a part of our lives, that some- times we take it for granted. Everything around us exhibits the different shades and hues of color. Through our short stay here at Buckeye, we have witnessed many colors of many varieties blending into one. As we begin to look at color through the eyes of the stu- dent, we ultimately realize the feeling of color and what it means to us. It means the excitement aroused at football games; the crowning of the queen at homecoming; the humor and drama of the dramatic club plays; the vibrant sound of the marching band; the array of sport enthusiasts cheering their team onward; it means our school activities, the teachers and the administrators, the land around us and the inevitable change of the seasons . . . faintly through the mists of Autumn. . . in Winter's buffeting winds and blanketing snows . . . and framed in the blush of Spring's blossoms. The COLOR OF LIFE is often taken for granted, but as we grow and nurture, we begin to find that color is everywhere—it is infinite—it is, indeed, the spirit of Life itself.

Student Skits Provide Relief From Pressure of StudentLife Nothing Matches The crisp fall night of September 27, set the stage for the 1968 homecoming ceremonies. As the Bucks pounded their way to a 22-8 victory over Columbia, the queen and her court looked on to witness the first win of the season. The half-time activities concluded with Joy Feist, 1967 Homecoming Queen, crowning Karen Kiene as the '68 Homecoming Queen. Homecoming Excitement Whispered ooh's and aah's were heard as the queen and her court entered the decorated gym. The court consisted of Carolyn Schnabel, escorted by Clyde Kusch- meader; Susan Leonard, escorted by Richard Maringer; Queen Karen Kiene, escorted by Co-Captain Jim Persing; Kathleen Muntz, escorted by Dan Houghtaling; and Nancy Crocker, escorted by Gary Conrady. The dance which fol- lowed was highlighted by the Grand March.

Quizdown Team Retires Undefeated For the first time the Buckeye High School Quizdown Team competed with teams from other schools on the WAKR Quiz- down Show with Jerry Healey as the host. Twelve students were selected by the teachers and brought before the student body for an elimination contest. From this group the quizdown team and alternates were chosen on the basis of their quick recall and mental alertness. The team consisted of two seniors and two juniors--Robert Boyce, Team Captain; Michael Kiesel, Glen Grabenstetter, and Daniel Wynne. The four alternate students were Pam Sturgill, Pat Burke, Kathy Muntz, and Keith Kramer. After three appearances, the team re- tired undefeated by out-scoring Streetsboro 075-115), Green (220-115), and Field (175- 115). Long hours of study during lunch periods and careful supervision by Mrs. Delores Chrien brought well-deserved results and favorable recognition to Buckeye. On winning these contests, each in- dividual team member won THE WORLD BOOK YEARBOOK 1969, the book, P.S. I HEARD YOUR HEART BEAT, by John Glenn, and THE WORLD BOOK S CIE N C E YEAR- BOOK. To compliment our school library, they received a two volume set of THE WORLD BOOK DICTIONARY, THE WORLD BOOK ATLAS, and a complete set of THE WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA. fife „ 5- o v’ Jo cr cr „e 0 e! p .e .o ❖ V. r °Va rt'x kPv k. © 7 s . e Ae v, .

The Soul Searcher We Will Fite And Freshman Cheerleaders They flitter about, first leading one cheer, then another—their rhyth- mic gestures seem to have a mag- netic influence on the fans as they draw the fullest measure of zeal. We Will Win! Cheerleaders Sparked Pep in Student Body Reaching Time fo Christmas . . . Students work fe- verishly as Christmas nears and books and as- signments are put aside. The Christmas tree —one of the merriest parts of this holiday— is dressed by three merry young ladies in Room 115. Ideas, paper, scotch tape, etc., are stolen for door dec- orations. Time is on their side as they rush madly through each day which brings them closer to vacation. Par- ties and presents flow freely and practical jokes combine to make the Christmas spirit at Buckeye.

Hustle back on defense! These were the constant words of Coach Leo Sparr. Although victories were always hard earned, Buckeye can be proud of its determined players who gave every effort. Hard work and patience paid off in the end for several well deserved victories. Our coach instilled with them the will to win and the team took over from there. This determination and strategy represented the overall spirit of the team. After concluding a successful season, the Bucks may look forward to a bright future.

And though the memories of the laughter and the pain shared here at BHS may bring a lonely ache or the strain of an unshed tear we go forward boldly to challenge and take our place in the world.

Spring’s Arrival Life's sweetest joys are hidden in unsubstantial things— an April rain, a fragrance, a friendship Moves Activities Outside SPRING is the time when the blue gets back into the skies again. Mother Nature can not decide weather to rain or sun- shine. It is the season for proms and flowers and locker clean- outs and graduation parties. Spring is the season when every- thing turns to COLOR. To Every Thing There is a Season And a Time to Every Purpose —Ecclesiastes 3:1 The frenzy of school activity is an ever-present characteristic in our academic work and in our extra-curricular activities of Buckeye High. Ac- tivities range from clubs to plays and sports to publications. Our various Clubs cover many areas: scholastic ability, homemaking, agriculture, ser- vice, both boys' and girls' athletics, student government, and foreign culture. Each of the many clubs at B.H.S. offer opportunities, joy, and a satisfaction in knowing that one has done a job well whether he is an officer or served on a committee for some special project. An education is not only found between the pages of a book; it is also obtained through co- operation with administration, faculty and fellow students in other school work and extra-curricular activities. The routine, day to day life at Buckeye appears to be the same—you awake, arrive at school, attend classes, and leave school—this form of the Pattern never changes. The education we receive is ever-changing, ever-enlightening, but something new and original is developed every day. The school life at Buckeye is hard to cover— the happenings and events of the year cannot be explained in detail. We, the students, help strength- en our Alma Mater by taking an active part in the activities offered us. These activities which make up the hustle and bustle of each week shall be re- membered and treasured throughout the rest of our lives. 73 Gallery We Dedicate The 1969 Reflector Staff wishes to pay tribute to a truly wonderful teacher. Mr. Robert Y. Leget has dedicated himself to his work in several areas. We, as students, look to him as a teacher, a coach and a true friend in every sense. In the classroom he is the ever patient yet stern master of his sub- jects. His guidance has served many students during his years at Buckeye. Our fondest and deepest gratitude is expressed to this man for we feel he has achieved success in a job well done. To Uncle Bob we dedicate the 1969 REFLECTOR. 74 L. E. Naragon, Superintendent Serving as executive head, LLOYD E, NARAGON has led us to high achievements. His greatest satisfaction during his service in our school has been to instill within the stu- dents a desire for knowledge and an appreciation for democracy. It has been exceptionally beneficial to the Buckeye School District to have this man with high ideals and a strong courage of his convictions. Mr. Naragon has shown the quality of leadership which none can surpass. He pos- sesses a sense of responsibility to accomplish and a desire to improve our school and our lives. A Man of Courage and Conviction 76 AI. P. Bogard, Principal Friendly, interested, and energetic, our principal, MILLARD P. BOGARD, directs the instructional program and intra-school activities, handles school finances, ar- ranges and rearranges the school calendar to fit the stu- dents' needs, aids many with seemingly unsolvable di- lemmas, and is receptive to the problems of all. We have discovered he is firm and steadfast in his beliefs—a strong disciplinarian—coupled with an amiable personality; he is a man who is ever willing, ready and able to educate, to encourage, and to foster every student. Mr. Bogard encourages activities in education to high- light our overall school agenda, giving that well-rounded form of education which is so sorely needed in today's complex world. Under his capable leadership our school has main- tained the high standards established through the years. We will long remember Mr. Bogard as an efficient ad- ministrator, a sincere advisor, and an understanding leader. Strives to Better Our Future Board Settles Issues in School System The Board of Education determines school policies and helps connect the school with the community. They perform the task of providing the best instructional program possible for this ambitious group of young American citizens on a frugal budget. These men: Stuart Zacharias, Norman Hinman, Lawrence Steingass, President; George Hamby and George Schnabel, dedicate time and talent to benefit others.

The business education department teaches a wide vari- ety of practical skills to prepare students for future careers. Besides becoming expert typists, stenographers, business machine operators and book- keepers, students also learn to appreciate person-to-person re- lationships in the business world. They study the fundamentals of good grooming, manners, speech and business psychology. The office practice girls each year enjoy a day's visit at Ohio Farmers Insurance Group, LeRoy. Ohio, where they expe- rience an actual working day and observe modern office procedure. MR. VIRGIL KOPPES Ohio State University, B.S. Kent State University, M.Ed.

Industrial Arts, I, II, in, IV We Apply Our Abilities to Everyday Living Industrial Arts teaches students any- thing from merely repairing a chair to con- structing a table. Home Economics provides girls with practical knowledge of home management. Preparing meals, sewing, and learning to care for children are all parts of the home economics courses offered at Buckeye. From cattle to combines, Vocational Agriculture includes a complete study of modern agriculture. The first phase teaches the mechanics of repairing tractors and other intricate machinery. Each boy also has a home or work ex- perience project which is supervised and graded by Mr. Koppes. While raising a few head of cattle or farming a little plot of land, many problems cultivate which provide excellent realistic learning situations. Maps, Methods Stimulate Minds MR. EDWIN JOHNSON Heldelburg College, A.B. World History World Geography MRS. PAULINE D'AMICO West Virginia University, A.B. American History MR. TERRY CLARK Miami University, A.B. P. O. D. Economics Sociology Learning about the past is an important part of understanding the present. The so- cial sciences teach about the past and apply it to the present and the future. In American History, juniors studied and learned about our American heritage and the struggle for freedom. American History emphasized the application of knowledge of past events to present and future events. The same principal was em- ployed in World History, in which students used dates and maps of the past in their study. Throughout the senior P. O. D. book, the pages emphasized the supreme and fundamental characteristics of our Ameri- can system of government. World Geography students learned the importance of culture in the relation- ship between man and conditions on the earth's surface. They also see that man influences his natural environment as well as being influenced by it. Ours is a Heritage and a Legacy oj Unsolved Equations MR. ROBERT KRAMER Kent State University, B.S. Algebra I Geometry MR. ROBERT JAYNES Case - Western Reserve University, B.A. University of Akron, M.A. General Math MR. WILLIAM HAUMESSER Kent State University, M.S. Algebra I, II Advanced Math In the space age of science and math, being brought to the forefront, schools are always on the alert to prepare their students to meet the chal- lenging needs of the world. Our school is no exception. Buckeye High School offers a variety of math courses to stimulate the students'numerical abilities. Courses in General Math, Algebra I ■ II, Geometry, and Advanced Math are offered as agiantstep towards man's survival in today's calculated ways. We Lie Awed by the Vastness of the Earth MR. MICHAEL LEWIS Baldwin Wallace, B.A. Biology General Science MR. ROBERT LEGET Marietta College, B.S. Chemistry Physics Earth Science A lab apron, a bunsen burner, a dissecting kit, and a rock kit, along with a variety of other equipment, help stu- dents in the many science classes. Beginning with the study of the microscope, biology students observe nature. During the year they dissect earthworms, crayfish, and frogs. They also study the basics of botany. By experimenting with the elements and compounds In the chemistry lab, students learn the mysteries of the atom. Physics gives the student a chance to question criti- cally the theories of Galileo and Newton. From rocks to ruts you’ll learn the names of all of terra’s wonders. Students study the fossils of old and gaze at the mystery of the stars through the study of astronomy. This class, If nothing else, means the exciting knowledge of nature’s beauty and the forces that affect our planet and near neighbors.

BETTIE NIXON Ohio University B.A. University of Akron B.A. English 9 English 10 A student's most profitable class prob- ably is his English class—whether general or college prep. The aim of the English department, naturally, is to turn out young men and women who are able to speak and write correctly. Alternated with the study of literature is a review of the basic principles of gram- mar that make any piece of writing read- able and exact. The English Department this year has five new faculty faces. Students found their work carefully laid out for them in an at- mosphere that challenged effort, showed them how to play it, and gave them the satisfaction of proving their competence. 86 Literature, and Foreign Language Spanish classes not only learn the Spanish language, but also seek to gain a better understanding of our Latin Ameri- can neighbors. Singing Spanish songs and presenting skits add to the pleasure of taking Spanish. The students in French II enjoyed re- cordings and records which aided them in the learning process. A special highlight for this year's French Club was the prep- aration of a genuine gourmet meal by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lugli of Marseille, France. After two years of studying Roman language and culture with special emphasis on English derivitaves, students may elect to take Latin III, which has been offered for the first time this year. MRS.

Students taking physical education classes this year faced no dull hours. Square dancing proved to be a very enter- taining diversion from routine exercises. BHS's physical education department stresses development of strength, endur- ance, and coordination. Mr. Sparr's eyes light up as Mrs. Nord tops the scales at 250 pounds. Coach Sparr assisted the faculty In defeating WAKR by being high point man. Coach Sparr was quoted as saying, If you wanta win, ya gotta play the game yourself. MR. FRANK M.

Vocal Music We Learn to Value the Arts Art activities vary from the usual painting to rug hooking, from sketching and water color to sculpture and ceramics. Crafts are also em- phasized as part of the wide curricu- lum. The colorful art creations add a delightful touch as they decorate the halls. BHS has an excellent music de- partment offering both vocal and in- strumental training. Courses are de- signed to develop technique, inter- pretation, intonation, and sight read- ing. The hard work is rewarding by public acclaim following the public appearances. Every spring, the choir presents an outstanding musical pro- duction. Through the use of painting, vo- cal, and instrumental music, students at BHS have cultivated the ability to express themselves. 89 Counselors, Librarians, MR. JOHN LOUGH RIDGE College of Wooster, B.S. Driver Education MRS. BARBARA WOLFE University of Akron, B.A. Counselor MRS. DELORES CHRIEN Miami University, B.A. Librarian Performing special services for Buck- eye High's students and teachers this year are the secretaries, guidance counselor, li- brarian, driver education instructor, and speech therapist. To say, that is no small task is the proverbial understatement of the year. Expert instruction in good driving tech- nique permits BHS to turn out courteous, careful, teenage drivers. One car is used in giving students actual driving practice. In the classroom, knowledge of driving laws and car operation are hammered home. I want to change my schedule! Where do I sign up for the College Boards? When will the Ashland College rep- resentative be here? The guidance counselor answered ques- tions such as these during the school year. The counselor helped each student choose the vocation and college best suited for his needs. Various testing programs were offered. The Guidance Office also in- vited representatives from colleges, busi- ness schools and educational institutes to come to discuss their curriculum. 90 The art of speaking well Is one of the most treasured and admired gifts of any person. Buckeye's speech therapist, Mrs. Julia Been, can be proud of her product—students who have learned the polish and the enunciation that must be applied when speaking. Secretaries Busy is the word to describe a day in the life of Mrs. Dorothy Fletcher and Mrs. Helen Schaefer with the never-ending bar- rage of reports to file, bookkeeping to keep, money to collect and phone calls to be taken. Are Indispensable The secretaries dispose of many rou- tine matters under the supervision of the principal and work timelessly to keep both curricular and extracurricular details func- tioning smoothly. Carol Kingery, Melody Dennis, Cyndy Byer, Elaine Elek, Diana Waugh, Connie Hair, Sue McDlvitt, Dawn Hamby, Diana Snider, Pattijo Hubler. The most helpful students are those who work in the office. These students relinquish their study halls in order to assist others. Under the direction of Mrs. Fletcher, the girls acquire actual office experience and office courtesy. They do jobs such as mimeographing, taking care of at- tendance, running errands, plus any other odd jobs asked of them. Mr. Walter Thomas Buckeye Mrs. Lucille Miller, Mrs. Margaret Hibler, Mrs. Colette Foecklng All morning these cooks work to prepare lunches to meet the hungry hoards of students as the noon hour approaches. If you eat 4-C, you know what getting a good hot lunch means. Helping the cooks with the tedious Job of wiping all those hundreds of trays are the kitchen crew. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Roush can be seen with a dust mop in their hands whip- ping down the halls at almost any time of the day. Incidentally, have you seen any school cleaner than ours° Their responsibility is keeping our school clean, com- fortable, and warm, especially in room 112 on those cold days. Behind- The-Scene Workers Bus Drivers Left: Mr. Pete Miller, Mrs. Doris Frombaugh, Mrs. Doris Nolan, Mr. Sidney Broadsword, Mr. A1 Berlswell, Mr. Chellce Balsh Absent: Mr. Casper Schmidt, Mr. Joe Mott, Mr. Ever- ett Adams, Mr. Dan Berlswell, Mr. William Huttlnger, Mr. Les- lie Ziegler, Mr. Ernest Schroegle M echanic A new face at Buck- eye that not very many of the students see is Mr, Fred Snyder, mechanic in the new bus garage. Mr. Snyder's job is to keep all the buses in top running condition. The bus garage was built to help curb some of the transporta- tion expenses for the school. Golly, we're finally juniors! This surprising comment held all of our hopes for a successful year. And a success- ful year it was—from the election of Class President Mike De- vine, Vice-President Bob Wagner, Sec- retary Diane Zach- arias, Treasurer Christine H am- mon, and being as- sisted by advisors, Mr. Virgil Koppes, Mrs. Daneen Lewis, and Mr. Robert Leg- et, to the Junior-Sen- ior Prom in May. The Junior formula for fun was enthusiasm plus spirited par- ticipation in BHS's many activities. School dances and diversified sports found this eager and versatile class always ready to join the fun. Hey Krueg! If you insist on wearing 'Rah Rah's' must you wear red socks? 94 Jo Ann Arick Jeff Asad Rolf Baehr Sandy Barco Eugene Bryant Jerry Buddie Ann Burmeister Cyndy Byer Phyllis Canfield Peter Carver Nancy Cleveland Claris Colley Charma Collins Deborah Couperthwaite Ed Cramer Work, Fun- Fill a Memorable Junior Year Melody Dennis Mike Devine Tim Dunkle Heidi Eisenmann Elaine Elek June Everett Donald Feist Lynette Gander Sharon Garvin Christy Gift April Grabenstetter Glen Grabenstetter Gary Gunkelman Delores Hamilton Christine Hammon Terry Hawk Laura Higham Robert Hildebrand Connie Hinman Louise Hood Timothy Hopkins Doug Keller Bobbi Kelley Janet Kerns Wilbert Kiggins Carol Kingery Jim Knopf Keith Kramer 95 Robert Kramer Lawrence Krueger Lynn Lawson Shirley Lomas Jenni Mack Jim Mack Terry Mallasch Deborah Manchak Dennis Marvin Carol Mastney Sue McDivitt Leonard McKim John Metter Juniors . . .

Sports Editor Head Photographer Mrs. Gwynetta High Advisor Diane Zacharias Typist Jo Ann Arick Business Manager 106 The Hub of Progress This year's annual staff turned tedious work, patience, enjoyment, night confer- ences (living on Pepsi, potato chips, and Mrs. High's brownies), jumbled papers, and those nearly overdue shipments into a meritous project of organized material— the REFLECTOR. Ernie, I mean Rick and Aaron pitched their talents together to invent some in- genious designs for those sport pages. First, the dummy copies, then the final copies, then adjusting the pictures to fit the design. Sometimes the layouts were not quite right, and with a disgruntled expression, back to work they went. While all of this was going on, Connie and Carolyn were compiling their resources to come up with copy to supplement the various layouts. Joyce was contributing her time-taking work in the field of photography sometimes handing over her duty to Dennis (the Menace) who often muffed it. Hey Den- nis, remember that triple exposure? Jo Ann's job became a task as the money started rushing in from yearbook and ad sales. Keeping track of the proceeds was quite a job. Interruptions were frequent, however, as mistakes were made on layouts and copy had to be done over. The finished product was given to Diane, Sue, and Rich, and while the girls typed copy. Rich drew the originals. Everyone had a job to do and had it superb- ly done on the final OK given by Mrs. H. With the increased flow of activity, came an involvement in our work which carried us through the periods of depres- sion and discouragement and into those moments of proud accomplishment as the final shipment was sent on its way to the publishing company. We must also add our thanks to Mr. Bogard for his understanding and great patience with the yearbook staff especially on all those Tuesday nights.

Honor Society Inspires Aierit Fourteen new members were in- ducted into the Buckeye Chapter of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY. These students have met the high standards of Scholarship. Leadership. Service, and Character. A student who is in- ducted into the society must have at least a B average in all his subjects and must be approved by a vote of the present members as well as the facul- ty. Membership in this society is a great honor. The purpose of this society is to hold up its four objectives before the entire school as goals toward which all should strive. The school is a vital and needed instrument to prepare us for the future in both the principles of knowing the basic fundamentals and to think for ourselves.

Need added enthusiasm—call the pep band. Need appropriate music for Christmas, a spring concert. Commencement—call the concert band. A band of 62 Bucks made up the Buck- eye High School Band, led by director, Mr. Frank Pasquerella. The musicians oom- pah-pahed and marched through new rou- tines for half-time shows during football season, practiced diligently for concerts, performed well at the County Contest, and marched at the Memorial Day Parade. As the band played on, so did the majorettes. Led by that twirling, fast- moving, Head Majorette, Jacki Friedt, the four girls added sparkle to the half-time shows. Dieter.
