WHITEFEATHER Page Nine APPRECIATION We cannot consider our Whitefeather complete without expressing our appref ciation to Miss Havens, who has offered her advice and instruction to help us toward a successful career. Page Tin WI-IITEFEATHER TO THE SENIORS The making of this annual has been an accomplishment for which you should be justly proud. This project has brought you in contact with real life experiences, many of which will be beneficial to you in the future. For twelve years you have earnestly striven for what some people are still prone to call an education. They believe that the more an individual attends school the more educated he is, the more degrees he can attach to his name, the more educated he becomes, To your credit you have a whole array of marks and credits which you can present as evidence of your ability to do certain things expected of an educated man or woman. You have learned to repeat many definitions, translate foreign languages, work problems in algebra, and a whole array of other skills, and yet, how many of you can meet the modern demands of education. You do not live in an academic world alone. You live in a social, physical, ethical, moral, civic, emotional and spiritual world as well as a mental. Without training in each of these you would be as incomplete as an airplane without wings. Your school, home and church has striven to train you in each of these necessary qualities, but it does not actually follow that these agencies of training have been successful. The school does not definitely insure you development ofa complete education. After leaving school you will pass through numerous phases of experiences, many for which you will no doubt be unprepared. You will find that scholastic attainment while ranking high in importance for success is only one step toward becoming educated. Education is something that never ceases. It is something we must continually strive to perfect. Try as we may, we will come to the end of our life still without perfection, but the nearer we reach this perfection the more successful our life on this earth will be. Mr. Lynch. WHITEFEATHER Page Eleven STAFF OF THE SCI-IOOL'S SUCCESS Not to save, but to spend wisely. It is necessary in any business to spend money. ln the school it is a very difficult job to tell just how much to spend. ln business you can tell at the end of the year whether you have made money or lost money, but in the school it is hard to tell whether the added equipment has improved the quality of the students who graduate, thereby worthy of the money spent for it. When the board put in a commercial course, they spent much money for typewriters and other equipment. They were not sure the course would be worth the money spent, but we know that it has helped to improve the qualities of the students. The Senior Class at this time wish to express their appreciation to the Board of Education for all the equipment and improvements they have made to make their school life more enjoyable and more worth while.

Seemingly insignificant, but in reality they are very important to our school. They transport the majority of the school body to and from school, twice each day. They have also been used as a means of transportation on various occasions, such as basketball games. The buses together with their drivers, have done their daily task well and faithfully. Five buses were in use this year. Although a few minor repairs have been necessary, no seriousness has resulted. We were all very proud of the new bus purchased last year, but used for the first time this year. This bus was driven by Mr. Lloyd Bruner and carried a total number of 55 passengers. Another new bus has been purchased, but will not be used until next year. This bus will replace the Reo driven by Mr. Lester Bowersock.

In younger years, up to high school life, we undoubtedly wondered why time went on so very slowly, and perhaps we made a similar remark as, I wish I were in high school and were a Senior. My schooling then would soon be over, and I could be and do what I wanted without being bothered by teachers and lessons. Now we wonder why we ever thought of saying such a remark as this. We realize what a significant and brief thing time is-only one swift. flying moment and another class, which has followed our footsteps. is witnessing its graduation exercise as we are to- night, and as all former classes who have already gone out into life's work witnessed. What is life? Life is a Picture, so Paint it Wlellf' This statement has been chosen as the 1938 Senior Class motto, and we hope to use this motto to a good advantage in life. Time, the all important factor of our and your picture, must be carefully and steadily painted for a life's picture of complete happi- ness and beauty. And we are the individuals called painters who must paint life's masterpiece the way we and the Father above would like it to be. Twelve years ago, in the fall of l926, we, a group of brightfeyed, little painters, were placed under professional painters in school as well as in home environments that we might be able to make our life's picture in our vision and in other's vision more worthy and pleasing. We were then all a group of youths much inspired and encouraged to do something and be somebody in the world under careful and thankful guidance, each one of us began and shaped our life's picture with the finest of brushes and brightest of co ors. In the fall of '34, twenty-seven of our class had mastered a small, but important portion of his masterpiece in bright, cherry colors, signifying the first years of school activities. From this class, by examples set before us by our upperclassmen, teachers and friends, we passed faithfully on into the next three high school scenes of our pictures. But not all the class passed on-no, it had dwindled down to less than one-half since high school entrance. Why the large decrease in number? Some had wandered from their path and on their picture today, a line shows black as jet. They have marred one of the most important and valuable scenes of their masterpiece-a high school education and its opportunities. They have failed in faith, courage, and energy in carrying out their life's aim and ambition. It has been said The energy of the least ambitious person is only latent. There is enough gunpowder in most any one if we can only get the spark to it. So probably the spark has, as yet, never reached these persons. I-Iowever, not daring to permit a low class number effect the class spirit, the seniors this year have struggled earnestly on through these years with an invincible determination to strive onward and with a merry nature within ourselves. All through our school years, we have been well represented in the school programs and activities- with an occasional prank and a spank intervening. As juniors we selected our class ring. Too, we enjoy- ed giving a reception for the graduating class. And this year, unreal as it seems, we are the graduating class, fourteen in number, from Buckland I-Ii. Both ourjunior and Senior Class plays were a big success, and we wish the same for our lower classmen. All in all, we faithfully and firmly believe that our grade and high school life in this school had been of great worth to us, and it surely leaves no dark, unlovely spots on our I.ife's Picture, so far as we have mastered it. PAINT THE PICTURE WELL Our life is like a masterpiece, Here lines of color, rosy bright, Show days of joy and cheer, There, lines of dark, unlovely gray, Show gloom and doubt and fear. And here, perhaps, a break is made, The color is black as jet- Marks where we've wandered from the path, A slip we'd fain forget. And we the painters are, The picture of our life we shape, And beauty, or mar. We're painting, painting, day by day, Unconsciously, unknown. The colors showing, bright or gray, A picture all our own. Oh to my worthy classmates, friends and all I.et's keep a picture in our minds And follow it with careg And mark the scenery as it grows So wonderful, so fair. And pick the daily paints we use From sunshine, warmth and light, Whose softly blended, mellow lines Will make our picture bright.

FREDERICK BRUNER Razor with those deep blue eyes In whose depths a twinkle lies just why did he a lawyer make just why did he this task partake. DOROTHY CRAFT Dot a seamstress mighty fair Stitches gowns that really wear Sets the style for all who say Dressing well will surely pay. VIRGINIA BRUNER Behind a desk she stands each day Teaching pupils to study and play She also says she'll never marry To some this seems like the tale of a fairy. Now if you're tempted to make light just ask yourself if you are right I'm sure your answer will be nay Then accept this picture and be gay. -Virginia Bruner P 1186 T44'f3'1f5' WHITEFEATI-IER last will anh Testament We, the Senior Class of 1938 of Buckland High School, having a full knowledge of all things, and recalling the perfect ease with which we pursued our studies and accomplished all things that were put before us, feel that we must make our last will and testament known.

SENIOR CLASS OF THIRTY-EIGHT WHITEFEATHER Page TWEUFYONE A POETIC SENIOR ls it a fact And can it be true That the Seniors, forever Must say adieu, To the teachers and student1 Of Buckland Hi, To face what the world Has in store-Do or die? While under their care We all have learned much, Still, only the surface Of knowledge we touched. It's not merely from teachers And hooks of reference, That we gain intelligence, But from common experience. We've had joys and trials, Temptations and sorrows, Still, in this world There are more to follow. All joys we gain, All problems we face, Must be common to all, In this human race. We have read many texts, We have played our pranks, And now, as school ends, We give many thanks To those who so faithfully Have helped us through, And from day to Clay Were so kind and true. -Mary Cook Page Twenty-Tu'o WHITEFEATHER Top Row: Mr. Linn, Sponsor, NX'ayne Dixon, Fred Ziegenbusch, Robert Bowsher, NX'ayne Brookhart, Ylames Paowsher.

In One More Harbor Must We Rest Cn the opening day of school in the autumn of nineteen hundred and thirty-five, twenty-six Freshmen put to sea Linder the expert guidance of Mr. F. C. Branstetter. He aided these Freshmen by guiding their canoes skillfully among the shoals and sand bars. Through the ordeals of the sea, Mr. Branstetter was their pilot. By anchoring them steadfastly to stern realities, he sawthem through into the safe waters of the Sophomore Class, Some few by this time had been lost along the way, having lost control of their canoes and had been washed up on the beach. By this time many had also begun to learn the reason for the voyage and had begun to steer more diligently and keep their log more carefully. There were not quite so many storms this year, and the sailing was comparatively smooth. Then they entered the Junior Class and met with a change in Pilots and a change in the number of canoes, too. Four of the canoes drifted from the set course, thus leaving only eighteen to enter the last quarter of the voyage. We all sincerely hope that these eighteen canoes will continue safely on until they enter the port of safety on the night of graduation.

Sophomore Class History We, the Sophomore Class of 1937-'38, entered school this year looking forward to the new teachers with great interest. We entered with a total number of twenty-four. We had two new students in our class. Later in the year, two of our number left school, and three new students entered. Everyone of our class this year has taken a part in some extra-curricular activity. Several students enrolled in the Industrial Arts Club, open to Sophomores for the first time this year. The class had two parties. At the beginning of the year, a weiner roast was held at Fort Amanda park. A Christ- mas party, featuring a gift exchange was held at the Ladies Aid Hall in Buckland.

Miss Henrv The Sophomore Class will always look back to this year as having been very pleasant and profitable. We wish to thank the faculty for its loyal assistance and cooperation at all times. THE POET SPEAKS The Sophomore class has twenty-three As brilliant pupils as ever you see, Sometimes we study, sometimes we don't Some of us like to, and others won't. We are a class that's hard to beat, The girls are pretty, and the boys are neat. Nevertheless, we'll work till we die To bring honor and joy to Buckland high.

On September 6, 1937, eighteen enthusiastic pupils entered Buckland High School as Freshmen. Emerson Burnfield was unable to enter until the second semester because of infantile paralysis. During the year, two students left the class and one entered. The class has been exceptionally well represented in all school activities this year. Five pupils took an active part in the orchestra. Among the other activities in which the class participated were the Glee Club, Dramatics Club, Paper Club and Industrial Arts. Une October evening, the Freshman Class held a weiner roast at Fort Amanda. At Christmas time, they shared in the high school gift exchange.

It was nearly eight years ago that we started to school, a very proud and happy group. Almost all of us have remained together in this school since the first grade. lt has been a privilege to be with the teachers and pupils our school years. Now that we are about to leave the grades and enter into high school, we feel that we have had many merry times, and hope to witness many like it in the future years. -Glendora Harris. THE POET SPEAKS We are jolly students, We're busy all day long, Beginning the third period We sing a little song. When the school bell rings, We all go to play ball, Some of us are good players, Although we're not all tall. We all love our teacher And she loves us, too, We are happy all day long Tho, we have much work to do. That is all there is to tell About our little class, But at the end of the year l hope we all will pass. -Norma Jean Bowersock age Ttcenty-Six Wl-ll-l-EFEATHER L .e Fifth and Sixth Grades On Septemher sixth, a eroup of twenty-:ight sixth graders and twenty-nine fifth graders were greeted hy Miss Piierhup as our home room teacher. She also instructed us in all of our subjects except English and Music. After a few days, we learned that due to crowded conditions in our room only fourteen fifth eraders were to remain, the others going to the fourth-Fifth grade room. Since then, we have hzen :lad fu welcome Alohnny Hunt from Nehraska, Francis Kelley from St. Alosephs', Wapakoneta, and Lillian Hilvar,l from Shawnee school into our sixth grade group.

FROM THE POET In all we number forty-three And all seem very happy, But then we Find a little time And grow a little nappy. We study hard and then we play To even all sides up, It helps to take the gloom away, But nine months are enough. On our minds these days will leave An impression-Oh, so Hne! Then swiftly we'll glide along As years are hastened by Time. -Georgene Place WHITEFEATHER Page Twenty Seven Fourth and Fifth Grades We, the fourth grade of B. H. S. Have twenty-five in number, We're ever and ever so full of pep, We're youngwso it's no wonder. W'e're located on the top floor in school, We've wished for elevators, But something more modern would do, Guess what?-why, escalators. We, the fifth grade of B. H. S. Have only seventeen in number, For it became quite necessary last To split our class asunder. We'll join the rest again next fall, And united again we'll be, fa We hope to do great things in life, And we're going to-wait and see.

Gn September 15, 1937, forty-one boys and girls came skipping up the stairs-books under arms, and everyone ready for work. Naturally, the fourth graders were somewhat elated and fascinated since they were now to take up their abode on the top floor, a situation which had never occurred before. ' The fourth grade started with an enrollment of twenty-six. Two members, Gladys and Harold Piehl, moved to a new community, leaving twenty-four in the grade. However, two new members came in, thus boosting the number to twenty-six again. The fifth grade of this room started with fifteen members, but ended with seventeen, the two new members being Ruth Kelley and Henrietta Hilyard. On May 20, 1938, forty-three boys and girls will leave the fourth and fifth grade room, vivacious and happy, for something pleasant awaits them-vacation! ff I 1 1 WHITEFEATHER 15 if X421 U Q4 LM47: GEMM Dov Page one llI IIIIIII'II1III'IIIIII I I THE Buckland High School PRESENTS THE NINTH EDITION OF THE ,P WHITEFEATHER .gi .!5:F 7g3.

We've tried so very, very hard To keep each little rule, We know that when we're older We'll bring honor to our school. First and Second Grades When the school year of 1937-38 opened, fifty-nine pupils were enrolled in the First and Second grades. Due to the overcrowded condition of our room, a division was necessary. Twenty second graders were moved over to Miss Winget's room, leaving eight in our room. To the thirty-one beginners were added one more-Betty Ann Kelley from St. Joseph school Since this time four pupils have moved to another school district. They were Lester Piehl, Kenneth Evelyn, and Willis Harruff.

He is a line forward and is noted for his one-hand shots. He will be missed very much next year. CAROL TANGEMAN-Guard Carol -a good guard. One look at him by opponents and they knew they would have difhcult scoring. This is Carols last year. LLOYD BINKLEY-Guard Clabber -fa floor mang steady as a clock and is accurate on medium long shots. Having played for three years, the fans hold great confidence in him for the coming year. FRED ZIEGENBUSCH-Center Eggie is a very hard man to guard. When in a tight place we all could depend on him to put the ball through the basket. He has one more year to play for Buckland. WAYNE BROOKHART-Forward Brookie -a dependable, eager and earnest player. His fight was as strong at the close of the game as at the beginning. We're counting on you next year, Brookie. BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM At the start of the year nineteen hundred and thirty-seven when the call for players came twenty-three boys came forth with great interest for a tryout to see which would get the honorable positions on the teams. The Freshmen although a little shy and un- experienced showed good form. In a year or two they will be the hopes of Buckland Hi. The school cheerleaders showed great spirit at all the games. The team played thru a successful season, winning sixteen OLII of twenty starts. We were runner-up in the county tournament which enabled us to play in the sectional tournament. We were eliminated in the sectional tournament the first game by Lima St. johns. ROGER WHEELER Roger - a senior, who broke into ranks several times and accounted for himself while there. WAYNE DIXON Chicken -although he was a sub, he show- ed up well many times during the year and will probably be one of the regulars next year. WHITEFEATHER Page Tlurty Three New Bremen. . .

His college pal, Rodney Herne, takes him to a social affair given by lane Danford, an ex- tremely wealthy orphan who is known everywhere for her aversion to matrimony, fearing that men are courting her for her money alone. One of her suitors is Grover Going, whose sole idea is to annex her fortune. During ,lane's party, valuable jewelry is stolen. The guests and servants are not suspected and no one else has been seen to enter or leave the house. George offers to solve the mystery as his first case. He persuades lane to invite his Aunt Georgia to spend a week with her to keep her company. Aunt Georgia, being in Europe at the time, has given George the key to her apartment and with the aid of Rodney, George confiscates her clothes and disguises as Aunt Georgia and is brought to lan':'s house by Rodney. George, disguised as the eccentric and slightly deaf old lady, solves the mystery ofthe robbery and also finds out the sender of many anonymous letters of extortion to lane. Then Aunt Georgia suddenly returns from Europe and is brought to the house of lane's Aunt Sophie. How George escapes this predicament and overcomes lane's prejudice against marriage afford a fitting conclusion to this farce comedy.

Tom has come for his vacation and Richard, a famous picture star, brings his bride here hoping to escape his many adoring fans. Since Richard and Harry do not want to be seen by anyone, they assume disguises that make them look exactly like Tom. They also change their last names to Smith which is Tom's last name. Harry is worried because a lovesick maiden, Tillie Tinklepaugh, is deeply in love with him. She arrives and learning of Harry's disguise, mistakes both Tom and Richard for Harry. Tom's Uncle Larry writes from Texas saying he will leave his money to Tom's son and heir, should he ever have one. Tom does not have a son but feeling that his uncle will never come north again, he writes that he does. Then Uncle Larry decides to come north to see his heir. Tom presses the bellboy, Tommy, into service as his son, but Tommy, due to the disguises, mistakes both Richard and Harry as his 'KPop this making a turmoil among the ladies. Then when Uncle Larry arrives, bringing his good-for-nothing wife with him, trouble really begins. : f-me rash Irene Doorley, Betty Zerkel, Robert Bowsher, Wayne Dixon, Ruby Thomas, Betty RHPD, Wayne Brookhart, Herbert Hars, Eunice Bowersock, Eloise Kellerman, Susan Place, Frances Holtzapple, Frederick Ziegen- busch.

Regular meetings were he'd every two weeks during the regular Friday activity period. Each member was given an opportunity to participate in the programs which were presented at these meetings. In addition to the plays presented in meetings and at assemblies ofthe student body, three productions were given at public gatherings. At the Halloween Carnival in October, Thanks, Awfullyn was presented. l'Yes, Suh , a negro minstrel, was presented at a Farm Bureau meeting.

Gradually members enlisted and now we are proud to say that thirty-four happy larks have answered the call for volunteers. There are twenty-seven girls and seven boys. The efforts of this organization are to develop musical talents and for personal pleasure of everyone enrolled. We are sure everyone enrolled enjoys the club very much. Many things can be derived from the organization if we take advantage of it. The first steps that were taken were to hnd the range, color and quality of each voice. Then we were divided into different parts. Namely soprano, alto, tenor and bass. Although the soprano section is the stronger now, the alto sec- tion is striving to develop up to par. The club has been singing a wide variety of music. Some of the favorite types are rounds, sacred selections and the songs of Stephen Foster. Before Christmas we sang some popular ballads. The club sang on several occasions. Several girls have aided in accompanying the Glee Club. Staff pianist is Marian Sprague. Assistants were Martha Mertz and Vera Richardson. They have worked very patiently with the Glee Club and their help has been greatly appreciated. Our motto is Always take advantage of those golden opportunities that knock at our door, because they won't always knock. Pave Tu o WI-IITEFEATHER FOREWORD EFORE any work of merit can be accomplished, a definite plan and purpose must be established as a beacon guiding the thoughts and ideas of those working ever onward. Classes before us have set the purpose ofthe annual. We have changed the plan so the annual would not be a copy of last year's book with new pictures and different names. This annual is a summary of all the events which have helped to make this year the busiest and most interesting in our school's history. It is expected that this book will mean most to the Class of ,385 however, we have labored to make this year's book interesting to the alumni, the parents, and anyone else reading it. We hope that our effort will be a step in a long-lasting tradition, and that following classes may develop the ideas to perfection. May the scenes and words of this book bring you many moments of happiness in years to come. -EDITOR Page Tlii1'ty-Eight i iNW'l-IITEFEATHER Top Row-Herbert Hzgsh,lE5nerson Burniield, Norman Butcher, Robert Hines, Paul Schindel, Harold Wheeler, Clyde ing e ine. lw1idtlleRow-MissSuter, Directorg Howard Bowsher, lwlarv Cook, Robert Bgxvsher, Frances Holtzapple, Nellie XX iilther, Alice M110 Naumburg, Marian Bowsher.

The Music Goes Pound and Pound When the day was first set for orchestra practice this year, everyone was willing and enthusiastic for practice. Under the able and energetic leadership of Miss Suter, the orchestra has progressed nicely. Cut goal is to have a larger and better orchestra. We are working also for a concert at the end of this school term. We have received during the year two new sets of Orchestra Folios. From these we have learned several good and favorite selections. Opportunities were given us whereby we could show our talent by playing at the Farm Bureau Meetings, Community Institute, the Junior and Senior Class Plays and the Com- mencement.

Wayne Dixon Wayne Brookha rt You remember in the first Pioneer published by the students of Buckland, way back in 1934 when it was stated that the Pioneer would ever be a beckoning light to oncoming students? If you don't remember that far back you do know that the Pioneer is a beckoning light now. Every student looks anxiously forward to the next publication of the paper and often he finds something con- cerning him in it. The paper is the voice of the students as well as a means of keeping the parents and others in touch with our school and social activities. The literary section is becoming more and more popular. Poems, essays, and stories written by the students are often found on these pages. There has never been any charge for the paper or do we clutter it up with advertising. No other school that we trade papers with is so fortunate. The school board should be thanked for this as they furnish all the material. The Pioneer has been improving steadily and it is the sincere hope of everyone that it continues to improve.

Industrial Arts Club The Industrial Arts Club, under the instruction of Mr. Lenart, has made many articles which are of great use. The hoys who mal-te up the greater part of the class have made larger articles which took more time and care. They have also made a few new articles for the school and rebuilt others. They not only made articles for themselves, but for others who wished them made. There were only three girls in the Club, but they enjoyed their worlc very much. They made smaller articles such as Candle holders, book-ends, tea-pots and other small articles. Some of the articles made by the Club are end tahles, lamps, and Corner shelves.

Then those who have gone shall be happyg They shall pass through life's higher grade, They shall face the world's difficult problems With countenance unafraidg They shall pass through each test as they meet it At the sounding of duty's stern callg They shall work every day-when they have to- And never be tired at all! And only the big world shall praise us, And only the big world shall blame, Though we work for the joy of winning, And climb up the pathway of fameg , For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express, As he follows the gleam as he sees it To the goal that to him means success.

We must chart our own course and follow it. Our school is well-equipped. There is probably only one ser'ous fault with our school. We lack room. The gym is far too small and the class- rooms are crowded. Many improvements have been made since last year. New equipment has been purchased for the chemistry laboratory, new typewriters for the commercial department, new books for the libraries and new maps for history classes, besides many other improvements. Our school is on the approved list of the state as a first grade class B high school.
