With the excellent guidance of Miss Culver we became accustomed to school and its surroundings. After studying hard we completed eight years of our education and we were prepared to enter high school. On September 6. 1949, twenty boys and girls entered high school as Freshmen 'fgreeniesf' We elected our class officers for the year which are as follows: President, Don Lenhart, Vice-Presi- dent, Larry Brincefieldg Secretary, Jean Ann Walther, Treasurer, Ronnie Whetstoneg Class Reporter, Marie Greber, Student Council, Max Green and Tom Morgan. We were initiated by the Seniors sev- eral weeks after school started. We enjoyed the party very much. During the year Max Green with- drew and moved to East Liberty, Ohio. With his with-drawal we now had a class of nineteeen. During the year many boys played reserve basketball and three girls were cheerleaders. We also took part in the operetta, The Sunbonnet Girl , band and chorus. Our sponsor for this year was Mr. R. L. Leatherman. We began our Sophomore year with nineteen students. Early in the year Marie Greber moved to Spencerville, but Darlene Smith came into our class regaining our number of nineteen. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Alice Jean Sprague, Vice-President, Ronnie Whet- stoneg Secretary, Darlene Smith, Treasurer, Roland Truesdale, Student Council, Edna Webb and Tom Morgan. We sponsored a box supper this year which was a great success. Mr. Pfleiderer served as our sponsor for this year. September 4, 1951 sixteen students entered Buckland High School as Juniors. Those who were chosen to be our officers were as follows: Pesident, ,Don Lenhartg Vice-President, Joan Ziegen- busch, Secretary, Darlene Smith, Treasurer, Virginia Ramgag Student Advisors, Darlene Smith and Ronnie Whetstone, Mr. Dale Tippett served as sponsor for our Junior year. During the year we presented our class play The Baby Sitter November 2, 1951. On September 14, we sponsored a box supper which was a big success. February 4, the Juniors sponsored a skating party at the Dixie Roll- er Rink. We also had a dance and cookie sale to raise money for the prom. October 12, 1951, the Juniors and Seniors journeyed to Hocking Valley where we visited Old Man's Cave and Rock House. We sold magazines. A major event of the year was the annual Junior and Senior banquet held May 8. At this time the Seniors were honored guests, also during the evening everyone enjoyed a dance. As we entered our Senior Year there were fifteen of us in all. Under the guidance and leadership of Mr. Leatherman and Mr. Tippett we made our final year in school a very successful one. Our class officers for this year were: President, Ronnie Whetstoneg Vice-President, Jean Ann Walther, Secretary, Alice Foxy Treasurer, Shirley Elsassg Student Council, Ronald Martin and Mae Sawmiller. We initiated the Freshmen Greeniesl' September 17, 1952. At Christmas time Joan Ziegenbusch withdrew from our class and went to California, thus leaving fourteen Seniors. On September 26, we journeyed to Pike County State Forest and spent the week-end at Pike Lake. We all had a very enjoyable and exciting trip. We sponsored a skating party October 13, at the Dixie Roller Rink. This year we sold refreshments at the ball games to raise funds for our senior trip to which we are looking forward. Our Baccalaureate Services were held on May 17, at the Buckland Congregational Christian Church with Rev. Denlinger, serving as pastor. On May 21, our twelve years of eager studying was climaxed by our Commencement. Ralph Beck gave the Commencement address. During our high school days we took part in many activities. Among them were band, chorus, basketball, cheerleading, F.F.A., class plays, and many others. Now as our school days are soon coming to an end, we will remember the many experiences we had together and they will live in our memories for a long time. Our Senior trip will probably be the last time we shall all be together. This trip will take us to Washington and New York. lui SHIRLEY ANN ELSASS Shirley Pioneer - 3 Chorus 1-2 Class Play Baby Sitter - 3 Class Play Love Is In The Air Sunbonnet Sue - 1 Class treasurer - 4 'Whitefeather' - 4 LARRY JOE BRINCEFIELD URed9Y Baseball l-2-3-4 Basketball 1-2-3-4 Chorus l-3-4 Pioneer Staff 3-4 Librarian 1-2 Athletic Com. 3-4 Class Vice-president - 2 Class Play Baby Sitter - 3 Class Play Love Is In The Air Sunbonnet Sue - 1 H.

After a busy day teaching school in a near-by grade school, my family and I settled down to an evening of watching television and our favorite program, t'Red's-Round-Up. The program has just began and here comes the master of ceremonies, Larry Brincefield. Maybe this is the reason it is my favorite program, since Larry was a former class-mate who became quite successful in radio and television with his humor and music. Also a classmate who teamed up with Larry to reach stardom is none other than Ronald Martin. The program proceeds with more jokes and music, when in comes a state patrolman to arrest Red for having an accident with a semi-truck. The state patrolman proved to be none other than Roland Truesdale, husband and father of a lovely family. The semi-truck company also was represented by their president, Tom Morgan who after having attended the University of Dayton had become president of the Duff Truck Line. Tom also was married and had a family. As Larry always had a way of doing, he soothed everyone's temper and invited them to stay for the rest of the program. A Larry thought his troubles were ended for awhile until he was again interrupted by the president of Whetstone's Construction company, who had employed the trucking company whose truck Larry had damaged. The president and owner, Ronnie Whetstone was very angry because it had held up the construction of the apartments he was building near Wapakoneta. Upon finding his old classmates, Ronnie, too, forgot his anger and stayed to enjoy the remainder of the program. But the owners of the apartment that was to be built were not so easily cooled down. Sud- denly Larry was surrounded with talking women, yelling men and screaming children. Larry quiet- ed them also and found them to be none other than Alice Jean Sprague Cnow Davisj and family and Mae Sawmiller fnow Ambosb and family. Also Carol Wagner and her, family were represented along with Alice Fox and husband and children. After being such close friends in school the girls found they didn't want to leave each other and were having an apartment built so they would be near each other. After much talking by the girls, Larry got them quieted and settled down to find the pres- ident of the television program very angry and waiting to talk to him. Virginia Ramga, now a farmer's wife and secretary to the station, anntounced to Larry he was wanted in Mr. Lenhart's office immediately. I then recalled having heard Don Lenhart had also succeeded in TV after gradu- ating from Toledo College. The entire family enjoyed Red's-Round-Up immensely even though Larry seemed to be in very hot water. We then stayed tuned to the station to hear the program which followed. It was The Chic-Chat Corner, a very interesting program featuring talks by Shirley Elsass who had become very successful and traveled very intensively during the last ten years. Also Darlene Smith, a graduate of a nearby Bible School, was guest speaker tonight. After finishing Bible school, Darlene had spent five years in a nearby-by community working with young people and their problems. So the evening came to an end, when I realized I had two little people sound asleep on my lap, and their beds were waiting upstairs. After tucking them in, I began to think back on the pro- gram I had just seen and realized I had seen all of my classmates of '53 and how successful they had been in health, wealth and happiness.

Through the student council the student body has a voice in the Way the school is run. The student council is made up of two representatives from each of the upper four classes, one from the seventh grade, one from the eighth grade, the president, and the bailiff. The Athletic, Chapel and Booster Club worked through the student council in plan- ning the year's activities. The Student Council officers this year were: President eeeeeee Alice Iean Sprague Secretary eee, e.ee M ae Sawmiller Vice-President eee.

The students formed a new organization at the beginning of this school year. This organization was a combination of chapel committee and teen-club which also provided an opportunity for leadership for more students. Many disagreements came up as in all organi- zations, but during the year many activities were held and a minstrel was given by the or- ganization at the annual Farmer's Institute. This organization should become a very important part of the extra-curricular activi- ties of B.H.S. Here's hoping the students of the future use this organization for the benefit of them all.

BASEBALL B Last spring the Buckland Bucks won their first baseball trophy. They were runners-up to New Knoxville. The Bucks then advanced to the regional at St. Henry. This fall the Bucks lost Ron Sprague, pitcher, and Iim Morgan, second baseman, from their starting squad. Nevertheless, the Bucks showed fine ability and aggressiveness in win- ning four of their eight games. Two of their losses were close games and could have easily been won. The starting lineup for the Bucks baseball team were as follows: Larry Brincefield, catcher g Tom Morgan, pitcher, Don Lenhart, first base, Ron Richardson, second base, Bill Lambert, short stop, Roger Place, third base, Lewis Brincefield, left field, Glenn Krites, center field, and Bob Ramga, right field.
