We the graduating class feel that We have profited much through our efforts to present to you a pictorial record of our curricular and extracurricular activities. We hold in our hearts many fond memories of the teachers whom we have met and Worked with down through the years. We feel that they have been the biggest factors in providing in- numerable links in the chain of progress which has given us the confidence to step into the world as dependable and responsible citizens. Our deepest appreciation goes to the merchants in the surrounding area who have put advertise- ments in our yearbook. Without their co-operation our yearbook would have been incomplete. We only hope that we may some day repay them for their consideration. We realize that we shall miss the underclass- men after We have graduated. However we shall always remember the Wonderful co-operation they have given us. Also we wish to thank those of you who have purchased our yearbook. We hope that it will be a lasting memory of the class of 1955. By Roger Shoffstall Welre loyal to you, Buckland High The red and the white is our cry, We'll back you to stand 'With the best in the land For we know you are true Buckland High. Rah! Rah! Fight on is our cry to you team, Victory for us, it is nigh Our team is our fame protector They'll bring us out a victor We're for you Buckland High. Fling out that dear old flag of Red and White Bring out your sons and daughters Fighting for right Like men of old on giants Placing reliance, shouting defiance Os-key-wow-wow, Amid the broad green plains that Nourish our land.

We the senior class of 1955 Wish to dedicate this edition of the Whitefeather to Mrs. Bernice Moore. Her advice and guidance as our class sponsor for the past two years were of great assistance. We hope that this will express our gratitude for the co-operation she has given us. , 1 Q27 I x, 'B -a - is X,-fp 0 O I B-Offkljll QF' EDUCATION Seated: Donald Elsass, Earl Ramga, Eldon Bowsher.

Ten years had elapsed since li had graduated from Buckland High school. Having decided to look up some of my class mates, I went to Dayton to board a plane for New York to see Charlene Lishness, who was starring in a Broadway play. When entering the flight office to pick up my tickets for the flight, I was greeted by a familiar face which was none other than Waneta Sunderland. While chatting with her I learned that she was a receptionist at the airport. While waiting for my flight, which would be about an hour late, a stewardess came in to pick up some papers that she had left. I was surprised to find that it was Barbara Tester. I find r.ut from her that several others of my classmates were working at the airport. I stepped out of the flight offices and bumped into one of the mechanics. I excused myself and as I was picking up my hand bag I thought I recognized his voice, I did! It was Homer Sprague. I talked with him for a while and then, since this was my first flight, I was feeling a bit nervous. Waneta directed me to the base hospital, where I was met by the nurse who was none other than Laureda Ewing. She told me the Doctor would see me right away. All my fears disap- peared when Laureda told me Bob Ramga was the Doctor. While glancing out the office window I noticed an M.P. standing by the gate onto the field. I thought I recognized him so I asked Bob to confirm my suspicions. I was right, it was Roger Shoffstall, who was a guard for the airport. I opened the window and called to him. He got a guard to relieve him. He came over and we talked over old times. I had lost all my nervous tension while talking to my classmates. It was just about time to board the plane, so I started for the field. There I met three other passengers who were Jacqueline Truesdale, now married to Donald Lenhart, Alice Ramga, now Mrs. Roland Truesdale, and Han- nah Holtzapple, who was married to Glenn Krites. They told me they were going to see Charlene in her play. We started to board the plane when we saw Roxie Howard, now Mrs. D. Whetstone, talking to the pilot and co-pilot who was Don Whetstone and Franklin Place. We discussed it among ourselves and decided to meet in New York for a class reunion. So I continued on my way to New York to await their arrival. By Sharon Wagner i HANNAH JANE HOLTZAPPLE QHannahJ Pioneer 1-2-3-4 Chorus 1-2 Librarian 1-2 Class Play I'm A Family Crisis 4 UH. M. S.

During the year Roger Shoffstall entered from Wapakonetag increasing our enrollment to twenty. Under the excelent guidance of Miss Margery Culver we became accustomed to school. After eight years of hard study we were prepared to enter high school. . On September 7, 1951, nineteen boys and girls entered high school as freshman Greenies, We lost Eddie Daniels, Mary Evans and Wilbur Esmonde at the beginning of the year. We elected class officers for the year as follows: President, Jacqueine Truesdaleg Vice-president, Roxanna Howard, Secretary, Donald Lee Whetstone, Treasurer, Franklin Place, class reporter, Sharon Wagner, student council, Robert Ramga and Lewis Brincefieldg sponsor, Mr. Leatherman. We were initiated by the seniors several weeks after school started. Many of our boys played on the reserve basketball team, while one of the girls was a cheerleader. We also took part in the operetta, H. M. S. Pinafore, band and chorus. We had several parties during the Year. Nineteen boys and girls entered the school as sophomores on September 4, 1952. We lost Alice Daniels at the beginning of the year and later Bill Sidey, Bill Campbell and Don Whetstone also left us. Later in the year Don Whetstone joined us again.

In the fall of 1954, seventeen girls and seven boys started their long journey of edu- cation in the third grade. During the year quite a number of children celebrated their birthdays at school with a party. Room parties were held for Halloween, Christmas and Valentines days. The first grade, along with Miss Folkis second grade presented The Little Ladies Style Shown and The Midgets Grand Paradew for the Farmerls Institute on March 2nd and Srd. We also participated in the grade operetta ulsle of Christmas Dreams December 23. What's going on. Lots of fun Aren't we pretty. Don't be bashful. Rough looking kids. Lots of fun.
