., l ni ---:ui 1--- f Yr. l SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Graduation time is almost here, and we, who are Seniors, can look back into our history and decide for ourselves the success of our last four years. In the fall of 1935, we entered Bucyrus High School as Freshies and accus- tomed ourselves to the usual razzing and sarcasm of the upper-classmen. We did not elect officers, but Mr. McAdams was chosen as the Freshman Advisor. Our first social activities took place in the spring of 1936, when the junior Hi-Y and the Blue Triangle held their gala sweetheart parties, and the Freshman Picnic was held in the Chuck-Walt grove. We were already represented in several sports, including football, basketball, and track. We returned the next September as Sophomores with a better understanding and more privileges than we had in the preceding year. Our first officers were elected that year. They were: President, Donald Limpach, Vice President, Hillis Schieber, Secretary, Kenneth Fegley, and Treasurer, Paul Light. We chose Mr. Gearhart as our faculty advisor, who helped us in the planniryg. of our gay Sopho- more Party. We were lucky-thanks to the Juniors!-in that We were allowed to use the same decorations that were used at the Junior-Senior Reception. The rep- rsentatives of the Sophomore Class on the football team were, Cecil Souders, For- rest Gary, Charles Ouaintance, Kenneth Fegley, John Gebhardt, Sherman Norton, and Walter Esterline, on the basketball team were William Seits, Kenneth Fegley, Charles Deaver, James Oborn, and Bob Shoemaker, and on the track team, Forrest Gary, John Gebhardt, and Dick Shackelford. We also had boys on the tennis, golf, and baseball teams. In the tall of 1937, we finally became upper-classmen with the following offi- cers: President, Kenneth Fegley, Vice President, John Gebhardt, Secretary, Betty Lou Sears, and Treasurer, Bill Seits. This year was probably the happiest and most exciting one, because we, as Juniors, had to earn a large sum of money in order to finance the Junior-Senior Reception. We have to thank Mr. Kish, our friend and advisor' for his work in making the Reception the wonderful success that it was. The prom was held in the gym which was transformed into a beautiful ballroom. This was also the year that we selected our class rings. These Junior boys, Shackelford, Gary, Kanable, Oborn, Deaver and Shoemaker, deserve full credit for the abilities in football, basketball, and track, and Robert DeLashmutt and Enid Songer should be highly complimented for their splendid work on the '38 annual. Entering our final year in B. H. S., we elected Kenneth Fegley, President, Bill Dustman, Vice President, John Gebhardt, Secretary, and Bill Seits, Treasurer, and because of his outstanding capabilities as our Junior Class Advisor, we again chose Mr. Kish as our faculty advisor. Miss Kathryn Meck did a marvelous job in directing our Senior Class play, The Patchwork Quilt. The main characters were Ruth Lutz, Ralph Korb, Betty Lou Sears, Robert Geiger, Virginia Kutrz, Janet Kiess, John Hubble, Eileen Arm- strong, and Robert Hess. As in other years, we had many representatives on the various teams. Kenny Fegley was elected honorary captain of the basketball team, Forrest Gary and Ralph Schreck were co-captains of the track squad, and Cecil Souders held the captainship of the football team. Cecil was also honored by being chosen as one of the 22 players to represent Ohio in New Year's Day game down in St. Peters- burg, Fla. We will always remember the different organizations, such as the Junior and Senior Hi-Y clubs, Glee Clubs, Varsity B , Band, Orchestra, Pep Band, Blue Tri- angle, Girl Reserves, the Boys' and The Girls' Booster Clubs, Bucyrian Staff, Annual Staff, French Club, and the German Club. 'Now the time is drawing near, when we Seniors must leave these high school halls and high school walls, and as we go into life, we will never forget these cherished memories from our beloved Alma Mater.
