Tennant for his kind co-operation, guidances and advice during our Senior year. Not only was he of valuable assis- tance in the production of this book, but his in- struction to us throughout our last year in high school is something which we will carry with us al- ways. - SCHOOL BOARD Seated: L. V. Bowersockg Darwin Brookhartg Frank Wheeler. Vice pres- ident. Standing: Ralph Walther, Clerk: Pearl Placeg William Steveley, pres- ident. It is thru the untiring efforts of our Board of Education that Buckland is able to maintain it's high standard of education. This high standard is further maintained thru the Board's careful and comJ patent selection of teachers and administartors and thru itfs provisions for the maintenance of equipment, the building, and lawns. Although these people rarely come into direct contact with the student body, they are constantly cooperating with them in striving for the procurment of more and better equipement and for the ful- fillment of our democratic principles.

Env EDITORIAL It has been the custom of each Senior Class to publish an annual, and to make their edition the best that has ever been published. As you turn the pages you will see that we have endeavored to give you e general idea of our scholastic activities, and also, of our extra-curri- culsr activities in the years of 1944 and 1945. We wish to express our gratitude to those merchants who so generously contri- buted toward making this annual possible. By patronizing those whose names appear in the advertising section, we may show our appreciation. The Seniors have worked hard on this edition to make it s success. We hope our efforts have not been in vain. These efforts are to be partially repaid by a planned trip to Niagra Falls st the end of the school year. ,f--I Vfewelfz Jilizil Kf- wa-,d , . in -A , ,M .

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Having gone to bed early last night I had enough time to dream of every member of m class about fif- teen years from now. Let me tell you about it! I first went to a famous play in New York. As I approaches the theater I saw the name of Donald Davenport in bright lights. This increased my eagerness to se the play all the more. The cur- tain finally rose and Donald walked on the stage to play the part of a handsome lover. In the last act he began to sing and a lady in front of me was do thrilled that she fainted and the house doctor was called. In a few minutes a tall man with a little black bag came forward and much to my surprise I found it to be Dr. Harold Fritz. He explained to me later that after serving two years in the Navy he started studying to be a Doctor and that he was now a very prominent surgeon in New York. I left New York to journey toward California where I was to meet a friend on business. It was early in the morning and I was speeding, not know- ing I was being followed by a patrolman. However I was soon stopped and was given a ticket. I drove on and stopped at Chicago to find a lawyer to straighten out this unpleasant affair. As I was looking in the City Directory I found none other than the name Arthur Gudakunst. uAttorney At Lawn. I went to his office at once and he offered me his services, which proved very helpful. I went on and on Sunday morning I was in St. Louis. I entered a little brown church on a corner and I saw Rev. Don Ramga about to begin his sermon. I listened very intently to him and was really su:- prised to hear such a wonderful sermon. After the sermon he invited me to have dinner with him at a restaurant owned and operated by Virginia Spees. You can believe me that the food was delicious. After dinner I again started on my journey and at sun-down another car collided with me and I knew nothing until I awoke in the hospital with a blonde haired purse taking my pulse. When I had completes ly regained conscience I found the ngpge to ls Peggy Lindamuth. After a few days of excellent care from my old classmate, who was now a very go-d nugse, I was released from the hospital. I then went on a hunt for my automobile and came upon a garage with a large sign that said NGeorge William Harris Jr., Ownern. I went in to see if it could really be my old classmate and sure enough it was. He showed me my automobile, which he had made look like new and then we sat down to discuss old pranks pulled at school. By the way Billie is mar- ried and has five red-headed boys so we will prob- ably see several garages with Harris' the owner in years to com . The time was passing very swiftly and I still .had a long way to go so I left St. Louis and went on toward Reno. While driving I turned on the radio and a familiar voice came over the waves. The singer was Josiefene Puschel who had always sung for us when called upon in school. While I was doing some shopping in Reno I ran across Janet Lybarger. We went to lunch itogether and she told me that she was in Reno settling an unhappy marriage. As we were standing on a street corner about ready to part a car drove past with a loud speaker attached to it announcing a nLiars Contest-H A few minutes later a newsboy came yel- ling the name of Dick Richardson. We bought a paper at once and read that Dick had made a lot of money playing professional baseball and was spon- soring a contest to find the biggest NLiar.U I stopped in a small town to get my hair fixed and I found the owner of the Salon to be Georgene Adams. She had established a very prosperous busi- ness. A few days later I was in California and I stop- ped in San Francisco at the finest hotel I had seen in my whole trip. To my surprise I found Mary Mueller the Owner and doing very nicely at that for you see she made a practice of furnishing rooms for movie stars. She introduced me to all her friends and entertained me as if I were a Queen. While I was in San Francisco I received a letter from Carol Place inviting me to come and see her while I was in California. She lived on a large fruit farm not far from san Francisco. I immedi- ately went to see her an' on the day If arrived it was her daughter's birthday, Carol was married and had three children. She asked me to go to school with her to take a birtnlvy cake and to meet the teacher. Norma Gene Mack was the teacher and a strict one at that. I Walked into the hall of the school building and bumped into John Ramsey I was certainly sure prised to find the UBig To1seV of our class in a school building but he soon explained that he was the coach and that his team had won the State Bas- ketball Championship. I, Donna Lou Bruner, then went back to New York to continue my job as private secretary to General James Sunderland of the U.S. Army. After having seen all my classmates I was sud- denly awakened from that dream by the loud ringing mana jam! of the telephone. wn-HTEFEA THER DOWN WWW f L V! M A L- ,.

They showed class in this first session and continued to improve, so that by the time of their first game they were able to defeat their opponents CNeptunel easily. This was an indication that they were capable of putting up a good fight against anyone and would be hard to beat. This judgment of the team was Vegified during the remainder of the sea- son, in which they won sixteen out of eighteen games. Their two defeats were by narrow margins: New Knoxville, 24-25, and Lima St. Johns, 49-47. In the meantime they were winning 16 games, only four of which were by a close score. Then came the County Tournament, in which the Bucks got off to a good start by defeating Minster and Cridersville only to be defeated by New Knox- ville in the third game. Since it was a double elimination event this did not put them out of the Tournament. The next night they defeated New Bremen and then Knoxville two nights straight. Thus they played four grueling games on four consecutive nights, winning the last three of them to take the County Championship. The District Tournament was held at Celina. Buckland drew a bye and then defeated Elida and Middlepoint to reach the finals. In the finals they were defeated by Willshire, thus achieving the Runner-up position and Tro- Phy- The 1944-45 Edition of the Bucks did what no other team from Buckland has ever done, that is win two trophies in the same year. They won the County Tournament for the first time since 1929, and went farther in the District Tournament than any Buckland team has ever gone before. This spring a banquet was given in honor of the basketball boys. Dif- ferent selections of music were enjoyed. Basketball letters with Wchampsn and U45U inscribed were awarded to seven varsity players and the manager, and plain letters were awarded to the other members of the teams, the man- ager, and the seven cheerleaders. The varsity's first seven players were also awarded gold basketballs with nChampionsW, 019450, and WBU inscribed, and the remaining three players of the Varsity were awarded similar basket- balls made of sterling silver.

MIXED CHORUS . The Mixed Chorus of Buckland High has really had a good time this year, for we all enjoy singing. Our teacher, Mrs. Wenske, has worked hard to get us to sing musically. We have found that there is a lot more to singing than being on the right tune. Your posture, breathing and pronounciations are also very important. Taking all of theses things into consideration,we have been doing fairly well Cwe thinky with three part music. On Good Friday We sand NThe Lord's Prayeru at the afternoon service at the Christian Church. On May l?, we presented a half hour program on station WLOK, Lima.

You save a boy up there who's new in Heaven: He's wearing Navigator's Wings which shine like new So lately were they given. Be kind to him, Our Father, when he calls: Forgive the rakish angle of his cap For he is young, so very young You'll see. He comes to You with man's estate untapped His name is Don. Please write it deep and clear Upon the Great White Ledger that You keep: Watch over him: we trust him to Your care. Then, with compassion, look on us who weep. I ll Il LT. FREDERICK ZIEGENBUSCH Lt.

Junior Haas: That's slang for parlor. A married man is one who invariably used two hands to steer the car. Stranger: Are you the bridegroon? John Ramsey: No, sir, I was eliminated in the semiefinals. It isnTt that some brides learn to cook faster than others--it's that some husbands learn to eat the stuff sooner! Carl Lawrence: I didn't say she was Dutch I said she was a Wooden shoe girl. Lester Moser: Wooden shoe? How's that? Carl: Wooden shoe buy me this? Wooden shoe buy me that? You know. Perhaps the reason marriages lasted longer in the olden days was because the brides looked the same after washing her face. Take one young lady, one young gentlemen, one quarrel---nuf sed. Don Ramga: There were eight people under one small umbrella, yet none got wet. How do you suppose they managed? Arthur Gudakunst: It wasn't raining. If Adam came back to earth, the only thing he would recognize would be the jokes. Young women should set good examples--for young men will follow them.
