THE SENIOR CLASS Montpelier High School Montpeli Ohio in nnnun-Inna-n-nun The Editor Speaks: Success is the one thing that everybody desires. Despite the fact that two persons may be direct opposites in character, ability, and moral ideals, regardless of the fact that their religious and political beliefs do not coincide, they still are all eager, and even occasionally desperate, in their search for success. Our class is no exception to this rule. Therefore, the number one thing in which we are interested as we are graduated from high school is suc- cess, both material and spiritual. To be successful in life, one must not neces- sarily possess great riches, become a great leader, or be a world-famous scientist or engineer, but he must accomplish the definite objective which he has set up for himself. In establishing this objective, we must take into consideration our abili- ties and our defects, and then with these facts firmly in mind we must set our goal as high as possible. We must be very careful, however, not' to over esti- mate our abilities during this process of setting our goal, for we are living in a world of realism, and therefore must look at things in a realistic manner. We are fortunate, indeed, in having a good high school education. Some of us will be even more fortunate in continuing our education in college. Re- gardless of its importance, education alone cannot be responsible for making our future successful. We must remember that it is only a technical training and must be fused with acquired knowledge and practical experience before we can obtain its total benefits. In our unceasing search for success, foresight is another factor compara- ble to education and experience. Using foresight in choosing our vocation is of great importance. lt gives us a definite advantage over those who have not cor- rectly co-ordinated their thinking and thus are not able to cope with occupational problems which are continually arising. Under our present inflationary simation, two things should be of primary importance to us in choosing a job. The first is finding a vocation which will afford us a great amount of contentment. The second is selecting a field which offers us a definite chance for advancement. Initial pay is unimportant if these two needs are fulfilled. However, we should make our occupational plans flexible enough so that we can take advantage of op- portunities when they arise. ' The ability to get along with people and to sell ourselves to our associ- ates and superiors is a quality of immeasurable value which is sorely lacking in many potentially great people. This is a personality trait which we should have developed considerably by now and must expand to the maximum before we can expect to be completely successful in life. I have mentioned only a few of the many factors which it is necessary for us to acquire if we are to make our future successful. How we develop these factors and fulfill our needs is our problem. Our future is strictly up to us. As citizens of free, dynamic, ever-progressing America, we find no one to tell us what we must do and what we must not do. Our opportunities and our degree of success are limited only by our own personal deficiencies and are measured by our initiative, ability, and determination.

Ahead of us the path has many bridges to be crossed, many side roads to be explored and countless unknown opportunities. But behindus is the memory lane which we have traveled. lt has led us down 'The Main Highway' of our school years. On this highway we encountered those three travelers--readin', writin', and 'rithmetic, who met us eagerly and filled our minds with invaluable knowlecke. Then as we continued, we stopped 'By the Wayside' to pause slightly for the numerous activities that waited there for us. Our hearts were light and gay as we marched, causing us to 'Sing Along the Way. Our songs seemed to wash away those unwanted particles of darkness that we came upon and we con- tinued our journey gleefully. Soon we met 'Competitive Iourneyers' who were attempt- ing, as we were, to lead all wayfarers. We met them with much vigor and held our place near the head of the procession. To relieve the stress of speedy travel, we turned down a 'Temporary Route where many friendly comrades smiled greetings along the way, filling the road with companionship and enjoyment. With this memorable part of our iourney behind us, we continue on our way--the way which will take us, unfalter- ingly, up the road of tomorrow. 1' We 'W . f-M J- had ff?-x Na N ,QQ Q, 7h f7 Xi fx fri X, 'lfqpk-ZkT! 5,N L Q NUJJ fhygqpf-H H5 'Sf XJ fx f 'X 0 Tfusif i Spvffs ,ou-5 Y' vga Curr 6 ini Q 41:5 TEM- An ,Andy MX 'V ,, ,M -1sf',- ?.: ye, 1BH2a,1n 45-ff'5'SM i5 M 5 -111 I-1. s gxf-1'C71Till,B A Mi agiphz ,..,......g. - K. - -kx..l ' , cl , 61 N ima Qsnfffff iff?

Tl-IE ENGINEERS Waldo Miller, john Rundell, Cecil Prosser, Robert Winzeler, Harry Schwartz To form the plans and policies for the building of the long road through school are the engineers--the Board of Education. They are the fi- nancial managers, and without their efficient work, the road would have no foundation. 2 SURVEYOR SUPERINTENDENT W. A. HOWALD In every contract for construction, there must be a person to superintendent others--a surveyor. Mr. Howald serves in this capacity on the road through Montpelier High School. His duties lie in overseeing the faculty and the students. His responsibilities take him into either the elementary school or the high school where he can be found in his office attending to matters of great importance--those which form the foundation for an efficient educational system. He is friendly with his students and is always willing to help them. His guidance will long be appreciated by all who travel through the portals of Montpelier High. 3 CONSTRUCTOR, 1 E12 PRINCIPAL H. A. KARNES In our school system, Mr. Karnes serves capably. Students in need of advice consult him, whether it be on matters of making a deci- sion on a certain course or choosing a college for further training. He is seen in his office marking excuses, making announcements over the P. A. system, and figuring the points that each high school student has earned under the new point system. Although he is a very busy man, Mr. Karnes never fails to say his cheerful Hi, which will be remembered in future years by all of his students. 4 GUIDES JULIA KELLER Vocational Home Economics, F.H.A.

Stacks of Mirrors from years gone by, other schools' yearbooks, papers strewn here, there, and everywhere, pictures smeared with paste, lists of advertisements--all ol these are the trials and tribulations that were ours during our months of work. As our dummy copy slowly pro- gressed, they provided us with the fun, the disappointment, the anxiety, and the life that we packed into our product--The 1948 Mirror. Editor ........

After four years of our journey, which have been overflowing with success and disappointment, work and play, laughter and tears, we have reached the crossroad. Now we must make our decisions. Some ci us shall go straight ahead through the gates which lead to college, some shall turn down the country lane to build fine homes and iarmsg and still others shall turn toward the cities where oppor- tunities await us. Glancing back we see four years of our lives spent in preparation for meeting this crossroad to the future. ,......i,w E 9 RICHARD LAVON APT January 21, 1930, Edon Ohio Course: Commercial.

King--guard--Ted's undying spirit and en- durrance more than made up for his small size. He was known for his ability to open up holes in the opponent's line. Dean--guard--Weldon won the Sportsmanship trophy his junior year, which was sym- bolic of his fine, clean play during his entire football career. Apt--Dick waited until his senior year to come out for football, but this did not handicap his fine play. Shaw--Bill was handicaped slightly by inex- perience and lack of weight, but turned in several outstanding performances when called upon. Calvin--end--Harry's speed and ability to catch passesyproved him to be one of the team's greatest offensive threats. K. Michaels--fullback-Keith was switched from endtofullback this year andbe- came one d the outstanding backs ln the league. Thomas--tackle--Roy's weight and speed molded him into a tower d strength on defense and enabled him to be one of the teams best blockers., 62 P.. A BASKETBALL VARSITY SQUAD Front Row--Winzeler, Gray, Howald, Storrer, Coach Emans, Calvin. A Back Row--Managers Miser and Neilands, Youse, Mick, Moshier, Loghry, Krouse Because of a long football season Montpelier had less than a week's prepara- tion for the first basketball game. Although its record was not too impressive, the varsity squad still looked like a championship team on many occasions. Montpelier upset the leqgue champion, Napoleon. The Locomotives also avenged an early season defeat hy beating Liberty Center at Liberty. This was the first time in six years that Montpelier has accomplished this feat. These are just a few of the achievements that do not show up in the final won-lost record. 1947-48 Record Home Opponent's Home Opponent's School Score Score School Score Score Pioneer 38 36 Napoleon 36 28 Hicksville 22 47 Liberty Center 55 52 Bryan 21 58 Archbold 22 84 Defiance 35 38 Wauseon 31 35 West Unity 34 33 Hicksville 8 27 42 Liberty Center 31 33 Defiance 23 35 Bryan 40 48 DeVilbiss 27 62 Wauseon 28 31 Napoleon 28 86 Edon 47 52 63 RESERVE SQUAD Front Row--Gray, Scott, Mick, Dayhoff, Childers.

The squad lost only a few important men from last year. These vacancies were easily filled, for Coach Sam Owens had regulars returning in both the track and field events. With these regulars and the array of new men, the '48 squad ranked well above average. 68 This year's intramural basketball program was under the direction of Sam Owens. It consisted of ten teams, each coached by a member of the varsity basketball squad. Most teams were evenly matched and it was practically a toss-up to decide the eventual winner. Because of the keen competition, exercise, and enjoyment derived from it, intramural basketball has proved itself one of the most important organizations in the school. il C HEER LEADERS ' , VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Bev Brown, Marilynn Carr, Barb Scott, jackie McMi11en Q RESERVE CHEERLEADERS Connie Rundell, Lois Ibbotson, Norma Yarger, Barbara Brown 69 , N JUNIOR H1G1-1 ATHLETICS 70 GIRLS' GYM Class, Attentionl' Mrs. Haines takes the roll and gym classes begin.

To celebrate, shall we put on our overalls and go to the dance at the High School? As we enter the gymnasium, we hardly recognize lt. The lights are low, there are bats on the wall, and orange and black streamers are flying to and fro. Is that the Rhythm Aces? ....... So it is! Are those hats they have on? And where did they get those plaid shirts? There's lots of food, fun, and danc- ing ---- and evening to remember. MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE? What would Friday nights be with- out a dance after the big game? We glide across the floor to the strains of our favorite piece--as only the Rhythm Aces can play it! When the orchestra puts its instruments back in the cases, we regretlully put on our coats to leave-- sorry that the evening must end. MOONLIGHT AND HAY-FEVER Who dtdn't go on a hay-ride this year? What fun we all had! Nearly every organization in school sponsored one--guests invited, of course! We met at the school house armed with hot dogs and dressed our warmest. When we arrived at our destination, a roaring fire greeted us, and we ate our hot dogs and marshmellows. Then, all at once, there was a scramble for the hay-wagon. And why not? We all wanted a good seat for the journey home. In an all too short time, we were home from our ride in the pale moon- light. With hay in our hair, we climbed down from the hay wagon--the end of a perfect even1ng....... f SENIOR PARTY . The seniors got together for an evening of fun soon alter school started. There were games, dancing, and last, but not least, refreshments! Then the seniors and their guests started homeward. 'ls AULD LANG SYNE After many days of hard work, the decoration committee hadtransformed the gymnasium into a massive crepe paper building with balloons hanging from the ceiling. As we walked into the room, we spotted life-size Father Time and the Baby New Year. After a long even- ing of dancing, the year 1948 arrived! It was 12:00 midnight! Confetti and bal- loons fell from nowhere andamong shouts of Happy New Year, we could hear the strains of 'Auld Lang Syne' coming from the orchestra. When the celebrating ended there were sandwiches and punch for all. ,I FRESHMEN SHINE! The freshmen had their party this year ln the Wagon Wheel,wh1ch was gayly decorated. It was a party to celebrate the Christmas seasong consequently every- one was in a gay holiday mood. There were lots of dancing and delightful re- freshments. After a long evening of fun the party came to a close admlst cries of 'Merry Christmas' and Happy New Year. MISTLE TOE TOO! The F.F.A. boys also had a party during the Christmas holidays. Every- one brought a guest with him to the Wagon Wheel where it was held. The mistletoe on the ceiling lent tothe atmos- phere ot the evening. Everyone had a wonderful time. 5 . SPRING IS HERE On April 28rd, the annual junior- Senior Banquet was held. The Juniors, who were hosts to the Seniors on that evening, had transformed the gym into an exotic wonderland. The pastels of the girls' formals blended and added to the beautifull decorations. This was the important evenlng for the upper-c1ass- men. We filled our dance programs with names and danced on and on through the evening. It was the evening of our high school career that would remain in our memories for years and years to come.
