For ten years it has been called the Whiteieather and it will retain that name this year. Our airn is to give you an idea of the recreational lite ot the students as well as their scholastic activities. Our policy throughout this book is to make it an interesting review of this year's activities. We wish to thank each teacher who has cooperated with us in any way. Also, we Wish to thank all the merchants who have advertised in our yearbook because we realize that With- out their cooperation we could not have published the White- feather. We hope that in the future We can look to this book as a reference to the pleasant memories of our senior year. 1 101 fini vi 1 11:1 ni :inc 2 page 30101 1010103010311 nw 2 -.......-,......,.,.-,...-.....- WHITEFEATHER I PERSON N EL Faculty Classes II ACTIVITIES Organizations Clubs Q Athletics IIITADS AND ALL SORTS Ads Humor Snaps DEPARTMENTS 1 1 1101 ri vi1ri4 x1'x:cm1 ri :Loc 3 -01 3 A,gMig ...L WHITEFEA-rHER-.,:.:.: I : : : -- I.: : : 2 DEDICATED TO To show our devotion to Miss Ilo Winget, We wish to dedicate this issue of the Whitefeather to her. She has taught in our school longer than any other member of the faculty. We were in the fourth grade when she started to teach at Buckland and we are the first class to graduate that she has taught while here. During the coming years, may this annual re- call to her mind memories of time well-spent in as- sisting us toward our goals in life.

WHITEFEATHER M..- Student-Faculty Relationship School is one of our pathways of life, the faculty being one of the guides. The teachers not only help us with our lessons, but they also help us in developing sportsmanship and friend- ship among ourselves. The faculty teaches us to cooperate with one another thus saving time and making our tasks easier. We hope We have helped the faculty to some extent, too. When we leave our school, we probably will not associate directly with our former teachers, but throughout our lives We will think of the help, encouragement and cooperation they gave us when we needed it most.

The Board of Education Speaks We the members of the Board of Education Wish to corn- mend the class of 1940 on their splendid efforts in compiling this edition of the Whitefeather. We feel that much work and energy have been put forth to make this annual the suc- cess that it is. We have endeavored to keep this school up to as high a standard as our financial resources would permit by pur- chasing new equipment, adding new courses and by making any necessary changes for the advancement of the school. We wish to thank the teachers and students for their hearty cooperation in so nobly assisting us in keeping our school up to ihe high standard we desire it to be.

Buckland has the honor of having a very efficient transpor- tation system. Due to the larger extension of territory in pre- vious years, five busses are being used. This year, the bus drivers were required to attend a school which tends to improve the principles of safedriving. The bus drivers have always tried to promote a safe and efficient means of transportation for the pupils. The Buckland community has improved and will continue to improve its school transportation system from year to Year.

' Robert Hines arrived full of ambition, very jolly and carefree. Bob has made himself very well known for his traveling. He has been traveling all over the continent.

Mary Krites is now working for a millionaire who is spending his time in Florida. In the winter she makes her home in Florida and in the summer she travels.

Eleven years ago several small children entered Buckland school. They were quite frightened but soon overcame this fear. By the time they were through the eighth grade they were feeling quite at home. Several of the boys played basketball during the sophomore year. This year our class, although it is small, is still represented on the basketball team. Ouite a few have been given important positions. The Glee Club, Paper Club, Home Economics Club, Orchestra, and Band have all been joined by members of this class. This year has been a most exciting year. Class rings were chosen and received. Then the seniors were entertained at the annual Iunior-Senior re- ception: The class play Strike Three was a great success.

Ten years ago the sophomores started to school as little tots and back- ward first graders. Most of them have outgrown this. Some who started have moved away and others have come in their places. Gladys Zuber has entered this year. The sophomores sailed along smoothly through the first eight years. Then came their graduation and high school. They felt very grown up in their freshman year, but they take everything for granted now. However small the everyday class Work may seem, it all plays a rela- tively large part in everyone's life. Each one of the sophomores is striving to complete the high school course and to make good in the world when he has finished. This class has been well represented in basketball and other' school activities. They hope to become better known for their work and achievements. They also get together for parties and meetings. Class officers are as follows: President, Norma lean Bowersockp Vice-president, Glen Biedermanp Secretary-Treasurer, lmogene Link, and Class Reporter, Hazel Smith.

They were accompanied by ten fifth graders. Early in the year Donald Kapp left the sixth grade and his place was later taken by Robert Zuber and later Peggy Minkner. Some found this lap of the journey easy and others found many obstacles in the form of studies along the way. Vtfe did our share in the Christmas Operetta and Institute program. Although small it may be, each has his or her place to fill and they hope they have done their best. Thus, they say good-bye for another vacation along their journey of education.

The Pioneer is exchanged with seven- teen other schools in Ohio. In this way, the pupils of Buckland High School keep in touch with the progress of other schools. The purpose of the Pioneer is to give to the parents and friends of the pupils a brief resume ot the educational and recreational activities carried on in the school. The publishing of a school paper is not only good practice for those interested in journalistic work but it also stimulates co- operation which is much needed in this world of today. Through the cooperation of everyone read- ing the Pioneer, it is hoped that it will con- tinue to be a bigger and better Pioneer.

Rupert Lee is owner of a dairy farm but detests this kind of lite and longs for romance and adventure. lane, his secretary, who secretly adores him, says: Rupert thinks getting milk from a cow is dull: but getting it from a cocoanut is romantic. He owns the extremely valuable Rainbow Pearls but even this doesn't suggest excitement to him until a show troupe comes to live in his home. Love, romance, intrigue, attempted thievery and murder swoop down on the placid dairy, and when thieves and would-be murderers have been appre- hended, the stolen peals recovered, and blighted romances made to bloom again, Rupert has been convinced that love and romance are always at hand and to be had for the looking.

As a result the team got off to a rather slow start. Nevertheless the team displayed a real brand of basketball at all times, displaying the clever pass work, good pivoting and taking, but al- ways handicapped with the lack of height which is still a great asset to a basketball team. The boys showed great spirit in fighting to the finish in every game no matter how heavy the odds were against them. As a re- sult they forced their way upward to a fourth place position in the League and a national reputation in holding the County Champions, New Knoxville, to a 2 to U score. This game was recognized as a great rarity by nearly every sports writer and sports announcer in the United States. This game will undoubtedly be remembered and discussed in many years to come. The future for the Bucks next year looks much brighter as they have five varsity men returning and a wealth of good material entering high school I'19Xl YGCIII Varsity Reserves BHS Opp. BHS Opp. Mendon ................ ...... 8 43 10 20 St. Johns ............... ...... 2 4 25 6 10 New Hampshire ,.... ...... 2 5 17 18 9 t Minster .................. ..... 1 7 20 14 7 St. Marys ..,.... ...... 1 2 22 13 12 Cridersville ..... ...... 1 8 40 13 14 New Bremen ..,. ...... 1 7 18 3 11 Waynesfield ............... ...... 2 1 33 22 14 New Knoxville ...... .. 0 2 22 24 New Hampshire ..... ...... 2 0 13 38 15 Minster ................ ...... 2 1 38 12 12 Cridersville ..... ...... 3 3 38 11 16 New Bremen .... ...... 3 2 28 20 11 Waynesfield .......... ..... 3 4 22 28 16 New Knoxville .... ...... 2 8 42 25 20 Neptune .............. ..... 2 7 21 27 12 Spencerville .................................. 17 31 29 12 County Tournament Cridersville .................................. 26 52 Coach J.
