It has served faithfully in helping us obtain a good educa- tion. We have studied hard and made good use of our time. Not one minute was dull, for we went into our work with vim and vigor, and the result is a happy ending. Our school is well equipped. The library, chemistry laboratory, and the commercial room have been improved for our use. There are still some serious faults with our school. The classrooms are crowded, and the gymnasium is small. However, in the near future there is a possibility of these faults being remedied. Now we have come to our end as far as this building is concerned, but we leave this school for others to take our places: to obtain a good education, and to prepare themselves for a substantial position in life. : 2 : : - -.,:.,:.: - : :.: -.,:. 3 f.-i-.-... -.-wa - rio: -::':::1::::-H:f:-H:--N WHITEFEATHER -Y:--: --:-12: ':'1 : To the Board of Education The Senior Class of 1939 wish to express their thanks and apprecia- tion to each member of the Buckland Board of Education for any part he may have had in helping to make their high school life a success. lt is a general feeling that whenever improvement in the school was necessary, the Board of Education met the need promptly. Necessary equipment has been purchased throughout the year. Each student and teacher has done his best to co-operate with the Board at all times. Z 4 Top Row: Ralph Walther.

Our school cov- ers an extensive territory over several townships of Auglaize county. Much responsibility is placed upon the drivers and they have proved their capabilities to a great extent. In compliance with the operations of our busses. they have been kept in good condition and have very rarely missed going out on the routes. To deliver the children to and froin school, Hve busses are in use. At the beginning of this year two new busses were purchased. One was an International and the other was a Dodge. These busses are driven by Lester Bowersock and Frank Holtzapple. 110111141 :lun-up :iz-an :,-.,:.,10,-i.: 1 : z 1 1-11323211 z: zz: 4 1 1 1 1 1:1 1:1n1u1a11u1n1 1 1101010101 '-'-'-'-f- -0- WHITEFEATHER -1 In Memoriam We wish to dedicate this page to the memory of Miss Marjorie Graessle who left our midst on November 24, 1938. She was loved and respected by all. Miss Graessle gave her whole-hearted service toward the betterment of the school. She was a scholar, a true lady of noble character. These are trib- utes which will endear her in the memories of all who knew her. There won't be a day that we won't think of her and talk of her, for she was our friend. Our memories of her are happy and pleasant ones, for her nature was kind and friendly. 2 2 2 2 2:2 2 2:-21-2 2 :': 'WHITEFEATHER ---2 2 2 2 2 - 2,212 2 2:22-- CLARK E. LYNCH-A. B.-M. A. RUTH E.

Herbert Harsh Herbie has the brains of the 'Senior Class, If we were like him, we'd be sure to pass. He plays the sax and dances too, And to the girls he's always true. Eloise Kellerman One wiser than We One smaller than we One cleverer than we Tis she! George Redick He raises good horses Takes agriculture courses Gives much candy and much gum To many a friend and many a churn. Irene Doorley Irene is an Irish lass With dark blue eyes and plenty of class, She has style, we all confess, In build and manner as well as dress. Wayne Dixon Only a boy, a.nd his father said, Out too late, now go to bed! Dreams he of a gay young lass With blonde curls from the Freshman class. Ruby Thomas A better friend The whole world 'round I'm sure you'l1 say, There can't be found. Hs rbert Fry Sly and keen Bashful, too, In his studies He knows the cue. Eunice Bowersock Typing is her favorite pet, Ne'er been excelled-that is not yet, She always has the best of times Until at night the curfew chimes. Frederick Ziegenbusch Athlete strong and quite unique, A good heart and a good physique, He follows through until the end, You may be sure he's out to win. Lloyd Binkley It's Ter's blue eyes, blonde hair and sense But do go on: this is suspense You'1l soon guess, he really rates Some day he'1l number with the great! Wayne Brookhart Lithe and limber as a squirrel, And he rushes a black-haired girl Drives a De Soto, Model '38 You can be sure, at a very swift gait. Frances Holtzapple Of this miss We know not much But what we know is as such, There can be seen on Sunday nights When passing by, there are no lights. Betty Zerkel Many say, as I have heard, That it won't be very long, 'till Up the steps and in church She'll walk to Lohengrins' song. Robert Bowsher Better than all measures Of delightful sound Better than all treasures His music doth abound. James Bowsher Janitor he is And that's no lie VVhen Jim hears this He gives a sigh. Kenneth Cook Humor is his middle name Now, I'll have to explain, XVith his pranks and with his wit, He has ne'er been caughtgas yet. Susan Place New I don't seem to get the slant. Do History outlines? I just can't In Typing II, I slip and slide In English IV, I won't abide. -.:..:.17..:.,: :,:.: : : :,:.::: :.:.: : - :ez . i':'::',: Z::Z 21 'f: f':-Q'- E R '01 21 1 511153131 21 P1-22 111121514 21: : 2121: :Il-H:f: :-:': 'WHiTEFEATHER -'------0--1--f----w-U-- Journey of Education In the year of 1936, twenty-three stu- dents started on the highway leading to higher education. The first part of the jour- ney was strange and different froni any they had ever taken: the second was in- teresting and excitingg the third lap has been more difiicult than the others. During this journey, the highway has not always been sinooth, but beyond the rough, difficult places have always appeared the more level expanses leading to happiness and joy. Each year the class has enjoyed parties. This year, a hay ride afforded the most excitement. New rings were pur- chased. The Gangs All Here offered an opportunity for draniatic talent to EI111:'l'f.,'Q. The class also has been active in the various clubs and extra-curricular activities. Guiding this third lap of the journey were the following: President ......,........ Harold Wheeler Vice President ,........... Nellie Walther Secretary and Treasurer.Maxine Biedernian Class Sponsor ..,.............. Mr. Linn In retrospect, the past three years have proved profitable as well as enjoyable. Now, the class is ready to begin the last part of the journey which culminates in graduation. To those who have assisted thus far in the completion of the journey, the class express their deepest gratitude.

Our school would not really be school without our clubs. basketball teams, and school paper. It is through the students' interests in these clubs that helps keep our students in school. Our school paper is one of our chief sources of keeping parents and students informed on school affairs. Basketball not only betters the student physically, but teaches him the principles ot a good sport, which we all must know in order to get along in this world. mi-uiuiuzuzuzl:nil1.313 cry: .1 11 11' 101- -inqnng 111:01 101400 4: 1 :rio 1 4 ,ici 4:i4:1:r..-44:44 ozuioic 1 :ri U- WH ITEFEATHER - 4114110101 0541014 9:04:01 ':aA,M,,-. ,, -W-nam -11411 4x-.:4x:-4-gy.. ,:.....,: -:4-..-.27 913111111 -11.414114-1 .4144 44-0: 4414414410101 4410: 4124110 40:0 - : : -- 2 --: --2 zz: ---21:1-WHITEFEATHER ---------D - ----f- ------- ' Top Row: Gene Sprague, Manager, Harold Wheeler, Kenneth Cook, Wayne Dixon, Wayne Brookhart, James Bowsher, Hazel Smith, Cheerleader.

Basketball of Thirty-Nine At the beginning of the school term, twentyeone boys started practicing basketball with hopes Of making the team. The Buckland High basketball team played ex- ceptionally well this year. They showed that they were a strong team and hard to beat from the start of the season until the end. They did some- thing that Buckland has never done before, and that was to go through the basketball season with- out losing a league game to win the Auglaize County League Championship trophy. They went farther in tournament play this year than during any other year in the histoiy of the LETTER WAYNE BROOKHART A senior forward, passing with speed and skill. has put the ball through the basket many times.

In the Auglaize County tournament, they won the first two games by defeating Waynesfield and M.inster, two very strong teams. New Bremen defeated Buckland in the final game of the tour- nament by a two point margin to give New Bremen the Auglaize County Championship trophy. By going to the finals in the county tournament Buckland was eligible to enter the sectional tour- nament held at Shawnee. They drew a bye and then defeated Ohio City which enabled them to go to the semi-finals where they were defeated by Dunkirk by two points.

Stone John Baxter, an eccentric millionaire, is found dead with a revolver in his hand, in the living room of his country home. Soon after he is discovered, his relatives start to arrive. They have all received mysterious telephone calls summoning them to the Baxter home. Just as they arrive, Nellie Kennedy enters, claim- ing that her automobile has broken down outside the door and asking for refuge from the storm. Her actions are decidedly mysterious. Further compli- cations are added when Dennis Gilhooley, Police Inspector from Headquarters, arrives on the scene and states that he has been sent to investigate the murder of John Baxter. Up to that time, the serv- ants and relatives of the dead man thought that he had shot himself or passed away through nat- ural causes. Inspector Dennis Gilhooley no sooner starts his investigation than all the lights in the house are extinguished and when they are snapped on again, the body of John Baxter has vanished into thin air! From that time on, one mysterious incident after another occurs until the end of the play, when the mystery is finally solved.

The Gang's All Here by Keith Merrill Usually it is the husband who complains when the wife goes away but in this play, the situation is reversed. Mrs. Olden Young has married a man innoculated with the convention bug , for Olden is forever going to conventions, leaving a lonely spouse behind him. Mrs. Young determines to at- tend the convention unknown to her husband, and she takes with her Ivy Vine who is engaged to be married to VVade N. Joy, who is also attending the convention. W'hen the advertising convention meets, the boys are gathered around waiting for Olden Young to put in his appearance. XVhile waiting for Olden to arrive, VVillie Fry overhears Upson Downes, a bus- iness man of the town, plotting to get some im- portant information froni Olden without having the latter know anything about it. Intent on helping Olden, Willie introduces young Raynor Shine as Olden Young. hoping that in this manner he will prevent Upson Downes from getting the desired information. The men are greatly astonished when they dis- cover that their wives and sweethearts have fol- lowed them to the convention and are intent on having a convention of their own. For, as Mrs. Young describes it, the women folks have deter- mined to start A Convention to End Conventions! Robert Hines. Dorothy Hein.

The Band The band was organized one year ago for the purpose of giving our community military band music and to give our school musicians band experience. Nothing can give a person such a sense of pride and loyality to their community and country as a military band. By playing in the band. we learn to cooperate with one another and to know and appreciate band music. During the past year, we have played for a number of festivals, con- certs, political rallies, and basketball games. We do not have uniforms, but we are gradually building up a fund for that, purpose. This year, seven senior members received band letters for their faithful service since the band organized. We shall miss them greatly next year, as most of them will be leaving our community to further their edu- cation. However, we welcome them back to play or practice with us any time they can, and we hope new members will join the band and grad- ually fill the vacant chairs. o 1 f: ::. : 1-1, 1010:-1 an : zu:-i:i32e:ugrzngzzazzzzz :zazzavzcza-:::::,::: ' vioicrioiuioiozoioi rioioioiosoc W H E F E E R onto: rirv1oioZo:oio:o1o2o11xio14oo Top Row: Eldon Whetstone, Kenneth Cook, VVayne Brookhart, Wayne Dixon, Robert Hines, Carl Cook James Bowsher.

One way is through music. That is one of the purposes of the orchestra. We had quite a busy and pleasant school term, but we managed very well each time that we were asked to participate. Cooperation is needed more and more each year, it seems, We hope that throughout the forthcoming years, interest and good spirit will exist in our orchestra rehearsals. r1o101oiu:oio1o34n1 ni xi0in1o:1:l::l::i::l133f:i:ri0i:i zi xi zzzziczi :ri 101 vguzoioioioiwzo ,: -i:-2 2 21:22 - :U::: : :U-WHITEFEATHER -----0------------2 Top Row: Ruby Thomas, Mary Krites, Betty Krie1nes,Herbert Harsh, Bob Bowsher, Martha Mertz, Marian Sprague, Jean Anne Harsh, Glenna Tangeizian.

Sickness caused us to lose some time, but the spirit still existed in the group. Our outstanding appearance of the year will take place at connnencenient.

The first issue of the Pio- neer was published in 1934 and since that time it has served as a beckoning light to oncoming students. The Pioneer is the voice of the students and it provides an excellent means of keep- ing parents and friends of our school in touch with school activities. The Pioneer is exchanged with fifteen other schools in Ohio and new ideas and improvements are developed by studying the papers from these schools. In this way stu- dents of our school keep in touch with the activities of other schools. Most of these other papers are maintained through adver- tisement but our school is fortunate in the fact that the school board furnishes the material for the paper. Through the criticism of you, the people who read the Pioneer, it is hoped that it will continue to be a better Pioneer in the fu- ture.

This is indeed essential and a good spirit has been shown in this community by all. In turn, we, the Seniors, have tried to De very considerate of the many etforts that our parents have shown. Nvithout their co- operation we could not have the success and happiness that we have had. By our contacts with the teachers, We have again exercised the need of coopera- tion.
