These men maintain discipline and order within their bus and keep the administration in touch with changes in the comiavinity. The first two buses are from Baughman Twp. operated by Harry Alden and Bob Kershner. Of the other five, one is owned and operated by Earl Blxler, of Kldron, and the other four are the property of the Sugar Creek Twp. Board of Education. Cullen McFarrenis known as the Dean of the Bus Drivers. The other local drivers are Stephen Morris, Floyd ' Vhlte, and Veryl Bach. Another individual who performs an essential duty at the school is Emerson Hostetler, custodian. He fires the furnace, keeps the build¬ ing clean, and supervises needed repairs on school and grounds. In the office is Faye Moser who gets out tests for the teachers in a hurry and helps keen the records and correspondence. Faye Moser - Secretary E. M. Hostetler - Custodian - 3 - GEORGE H.

We certainly appreciated his efforts in co-operating with us in this respect. We ordered our announcements, name cards, caps and gowns after Christm.as vacation. With the arrival of our name cards, we all suffered from writer ' s cramp. Now, just so we all get our di¬ plomas . GICK YOUNG Band--1, 2, 3, 4 F. P. A. Basketball—3, 4 P. P. A. Club —2, 3, 4 Orchestra—3, 4 Trumpet Trio—4 The Senior Class Play and the Banquet are looked for¬ ward to very much—even though it means our last year of high school. To be in the Play is the secret aim of practically every member of the class; and to be the honored guests at the Junior-Senior Banquet is a bid to the biggest social event of the community. And the last two high-lights are Baccalaureate and Commencement cli¬ maxing, ' as they do, our four years of high school live. -11- rfTl W T Let ' s look into the future of the present Senior class And see what fate has fallen on every lad and lass. If you will listen kindly, to you I will relate l Vhat these Seniors will he doing in the year 1958. Tf We have a judge among us And you can ' t guess who he isJ It s the one and only Edgar Who ' s judge on a radio qulzz. Bee Brown is happily married But makes her husband sweep and mop. He keeps the kids while Bee goes out To work in a beauty shop. Carl Eberly surprised us all He owns a ranch out west. And friends quite often visit him To stay there for a rest. Donna Steele writes fiction stories She ' s known all over the land. People clamor for her books They are in great demand. Garland Smith has foiind success In the job he most enjoys; He owns a factory where they make All kinds of childrens toys. Next comes Glenna Clapper ' Who majored in Home Ec. She ' s working with the P. B. I. To help keep crime in check. Remember Cletus Amstutz? Ah—you can ' t guess his fate; He ' s married, and a butler On a large Southern estate. Mary Jeanne Amstutz who studied hard ’JVhen she was back in school. Has taken up a teacher ' s job And teaches children the golden rule. Next I see Jim Thomas But much to my surprise. He ' s now a happy bachelor For he says he thinks that ' s wise. Barbara Robart has had good luck She ' s a well-known artist in the Commercial field. We never knew that she could paint But we ' re glad to see her talent revealed. Dick Smith, who was known as Smitty Has made his goal at last; He ' s world ' s beat basketball player A tribute to his past. An airplane pilot is John McFarren He does acrobats and whirls. He ' ll take his friends up for a ride Especially the girls. Here I see Donnie Weygandt Who ' s quite a popular man. Because he ' s tJncle Donnie On radio ' s Kiddie Program. Remember Scotty ' s Drug Store And the good times we had there? Jean Marty runs it now Serving sundaes rich and rare. Melvin Horst is dieting now But something is the matter . ' Instead of growing thinner He seems to be getting fatter. David has taken his father ' s place As custodian of the school. They say he does a wonderful job Of cleaning--and feeding the furnace fuel. Emma Verntz is happy She ' s married a man of wealth. They live in California Because of Emma ' s health. Guess who teaches Latin In Dalton High School now? It ' s Miriam Nussbaum as you ' ve guessed She makes the pupils work, I vow. The face behind that mustache Is certainly very familiar; Oh, yes, the name is Douglas And he ' s a college professor. Harold Ault is a millionaire; His life is like a dream His serveants wait on him hand and foot And he owns several limousines. Remember Shorty Werntz Who played on our football team? Vifell, now he plays with the Cleveland Browns They needed a man with plenty of steam. Miriam Wertz from Marshallville She lives there to this day. But Marshallville has grown a lot And she works in the new cafe. Norma Gerber has become a nurse She helps the old and the ill. And when they complain of a sore or an ache She just makes them swallow a pill. Mary Falb works in a bakery shop. And the job she undertakes Is an important and careful one ' Cause she bakes wedding cakes. Who ' s working for the government? None other than Donna Wertz, She collects our Income tax A job for only experts. Let ' s look up Hazel Gerber Who ' s living now in France. She married a French Painter After a real whirlwind romance. Jeannette Miller has a little shop Where she sells all kinds of clothes. People can buy most anything From shoe strings to nylon hose. Velma Burckhart has a pleasant job. She works for many long hours Making bouquets and corsages Out of all kinds of flowers.

They were innocent as new-born lambs, but it didn’t take them too long to follow the lead of the learned Seniors. The class officers were: Harold Gale- house, President; Harold Douglas, Vice-President; Doris Amstutz, Secretary; Ruth Poorman, Treasurer; John Mc- Farren, Sgt.-at-Arms; Miriam Wertz, Stanley Gerber and Dick Smith, Student Senate. In the early part of October the Seniors gave the Freshmen their reception, which was their formal ac¬ knowledgment as full-fledged high school students. They weren ' t too hard on us. We had a class hay-ride and welner roast at Gladys Nlckles ' home. In September, of 1943, we started our second year of high school. We had lost a few of our former members and gained a few new members, but we were now down to 63. Our class officers this year were Stanley Gerber, President; Harold Douglas, Vice-President; Glenna Clap¬ per, Secretary; Donald Moser, Treasurer; Donna Wertz, Elizabeth Withrick, and Dick Smith, Student Senate. We had a party which we planned as a weiner roast and hay- ride, but finally climaxed as a party in the auditorium. We were now half way through our high school days. Our group had dwindled to a class of 50 Juniors. Our class officers were John McFarren, President; Jeannette Miller, Vice-President; Ruth Poorman, Secretary; Stan¬ ley Gerber, Treasurer; Jackie Cope, Harold Douglas, and Harold Galehouse, Student Senate. Now past the giddy, silly stage--a little more ma¬ ture in high school life—we had the privilege of hav¬ ing one of the cheerleaders, Jeannette Miller, in our class. She did her stuff to make our pep-meetings and games louder and better. The Junior Class play, presented on November 5,was a great success. We had a full house. Everyone knew his or her part perfectly and the entertainment between the acts was also very much appreciated. We ordered our class rings after we came back from Christmas vacation and kept hoping they would arrive during the school year so we could show them off, but no luck--they did not arrive until June first. Then came the Banquet. V e worked hard for several weeks to make it a success. We had the auditorium deco¬ rated as a Mexican Garden, and used a few of the Sopho¬ more boys as Mexican peons who sat along the floor with big sombreros and blankets. The Banquet was prepared by the Home Economics Department and served by the Sophomore girls. We now were ready for the Baccalaureate Service. Jeannette Miller and Stanley Gerber led the Seniors to their places in the Auditorium followed by the Juniors. This is the second time we assisted with Commencement activities—may be so we would know how to act when our time came. Now for our big year . ' We were very glad to welcome Miriam Nussbaum into our class after a year ' s absence due to illness. We lost Doris Amstutz who moved to Orrville, and Robert Patterson who enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces. Our class officers were Harold Doug¬ las, President; John McFarren, Vice-President; Ruth Poorman, Secretary; Herbert Nussbaum, Treasurer; Alvin Buchwalter, Dick Smith, and Donald Weygandt, Student Senate members. First came the school paper. We were all excited about it and we had reasons to be. We had to take up where last year Seniors left off. Dalton now had a football team, which was something added to our school activities. We had all three of the Cheerleaders in our class—Jeannette Miller, Jackie Cope, and Ruth Poorman. We also had quite a few of our boys out for football and five were out for Varsity basketball. Continued on page 11 SEPTEMBER 2 Registration 3 School began.

H. A. A V The Speech Club, composed of 22 members from th e Junior and Senior classes have had a very active year under the supervision of Mrs. Keirn. Eighteen of the Speech Club members went to the Little Theatre Guild of Canton to see the play, ’’State of the Union,” a satire of V ashington politics anda take-off on the Presidency. A skit was put on by the members for the benefit of the student body to advertise the Dalton-Doyles town foot¬ ball game. This time 19 of the members of the Speech Club went to Taylor Hall at Wooster College to see the play, The Late George Apley.” On November 12 a meeting was held and John McFarren resigned as President of the club. Nominations were made and Donald Vveygandt was elected the new club presi¬ dent. A humorous skit was presented by Harold Gale- house and Richard Coffman. Another on the same order was given by Donald VVeygandt, Edgar Geiser, and Harold Douglas. Tryouts were made for the play which was pre¬ sented by the club the night of their Program. On January 24, the Speech Club presented Ghost Farm, a one-act mystery comedy. The parts were very well acted and the stage managers did much to help make the play a success. The same night, declamations, de¬ bates, musical numbers were also presented. There was a good crowd and the club took in !|79.20. The P.H.A. Club has an enrollment of 34 members. It is under the supervision of Miss Kathryn Seager. The aims and objectives of this organization are to work toward a good home, a family life for all, to promote interest in Home Economics, and to encourage friendship and cooperation among ut ' s members. During the year the girls served light refreshments at the home basketball games. They have a clut meeting every third Monday evening of each month, with refresh¬ ments and entertainment afterwards. A Bl-county meeting of Holmes and Wayne counties was held at the Dalton High School to elect county officers. A program was much enjoyed afterwards virlth skits and musical nvunbers given by different schools. A Regional meeting was held at Alliance and five pupils from the Home Ec. Club represented Dalton. Eve¬ lyn Franks was elected regional secretary. They plan to serve light lunches to the grade school for a week to earn money for a week-end trip in the spring The officers of the F. H. A. Club are as follows; Glenna Clapper, President; Gladys Nlckles. Vice-Presi¬ dent; EvelynPhanks, Secretary; Donna Steele, Treasurer; Carol Beech, Reporter; Joyce Simon, Song Leader. Twenty-five students learned Declamations this year. An elimination contest was held on March 7 at the High School with teachers as judges to determine the stu¬ dents that would represent D. H. S. in the county tour¬ nament. The results were as follows: Humorous Declamations: Little Mabel by Mary Jeanne Smucker, George Washington Slept Here by Marlene McKee. Dramatic Declamations: Lady with the Lamp by Ruth Poorman, Honey by Miriam Wertz. Oratorical Declamations: The Children ' s. Hour by Jackie Cope, American Citadel by Tom Shank. In the county tournament Donna Dale Rupp, Marlene McKee, and Richard Coffman (Poetry Reading) were chosen to go to Columbus on March 28 to compete in the State. There the results were most satisfactory for Donna Dale Rupp won a trophy as First in the State in Original Oratory and Marlene McKee also received a trophy as Second in the State in Humorous Declamations. We hope this interest in declamations will continue. You will see in the trophy case evidence that the debate teams did excellent work this year. They won first in the county tournament held at Shreve March 24 and went to Columbus to debate March 28.

' •K- r.- -K- LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is composed of 38 members enrolled at present in Latin I and 11. The club is under the super¬ vision of Miss Fosnlght and the purpose is to study the Latin language, Roman customs, mythology, and Caesar ' s Gallic War. ' Ar SERVICE CLUBS The Student Senate is an organization concerned with the welfare of the entire student body and the mainte¬ nance of school spirit. They make and enforce regula¬ tions for the improvement of the school. They promote general school activities. Mr. Berg is their adviser. The Student Senate directed the Thanksgiving and Christmas programs for the school; they also sponsored a dance for the high school students after the Dalton- Doylestown basketball game here. At the present time they are assisting with the Intramural Basketball games being held in the gjnn at noon. •Jt -if yi- ‘it -X To be on the Library Staff is a coveted and honored privilege. Members of the student body are selected to assist during study hall periods. This year they are: Eva Carolyn Lintem, Joyce Simon, Jean Marty, Miriam Wertz, Margaret Weisgarber, Barbara -Hofstetter, Gladys Saurers, and Beatrice Brown. They deserve great credit for giving their time and energy toward helping the pu¬ pils obtain suitable reference material and recreational reading. Faculty supervisors are Miss Fosnight and Mr. Berg. The use of the Library is supplemented bi-monthly by the appearance of the County Bookmobile. Hazel Gerber, Pauline Steiner, and Winifred Gause helpfor this extra service rendered the school. -If- -:!• -:s- -:!• -;!■ The Commercial Club is under the supervision of Miss Sants chi and is composed of Seniors in Shorthand I and II classes. These students usually have a major In busi¬ ness education. Their work is concerned with learning the Intricacies of shorthand and developing skill and speed in the use of it. The necessity of desirable per¬ sonality traits and general office skills arehlghly em¬ phasized. The members of these classes assist materi¬ ally in the publication of the school newspaper, THE BARKER, and in the preparation of the Annual. This year all the members of the Advanced Typewriting Class had an opportunity to cut stencils for the school paper. -16- P. F. A. The Dalton F.F.A. Chapter under the direction of Mr. D. H. Scott started the year by inviting six new mem¬ bers to the Chapter. The boys are working hard this year by having as their projects; 25 acres of corn, 4 sows and litters, 160 reeder pigs, 16 dairy heifers, and 400 broilers. These are owned by the members. Also they are keeping 22 herd records of 255 dairy cows, 7 flock records of 950 laying hens, and 4 farm account books. These are under supervised practice. They also have been helping the community by hold¬ ing pest hunts, helping farmers who are short of labor, and repairing machinery. The members are not burdened with work all the time for they have a basketball team which has been very active in their games and tournament. Part of their social life consists of parties exchanged with the F. H. A. Girls during the year. The officers of the Chapter are as follows: Alvin Buchwalter, President; Donald Moser, Vice-President; Rodney Graber, Secretary; Koah Pluecklger, Treasurer; Harold Galehouse, Reporter; Carl Eberly, Sgt.-at-Arms. SPORTS In previous years Baseball has held the limelight in both spring and fall activities. With the return of Football only spring Baseball Is carried. A schedule of six games was played last spring and then the Bull¬ dogs lost in the semi-final round of the tournament. The team ' s success was due mostly to astrong pitching staff. There seems to be a great deal of interest again this year. Several games have already been scheduled and sev¬ eral more are to be added. The team success must still be determined but we are only waiting until the smack of 1-eather against wood can be heard again, -:s- Track has played a leading role in most of the high schools in Wayne County. Dalton was certainly in the minnlng as this brief summary will tell, Dalton held three preparation track meets, namely: Doyles town Invitational; Doylestown, Smlthvllle, Dal¬ ton; Fredericksburg, Daltoh. We ended in fourth spot in the Invitational, took second In the Tri-School meet and was shaded by several points at Fredericksburg. At the County Meet we poured on the steam and were left in third by several points. Several firsts were taken. David Amstutz - shot put, also setting a new meet record, 41 ft. S-g- in.; Steiner, Str eb, Weygandt, and Sommer - half-mile relay, also setting a meet re¬ cord of 1 min. 40.9 seconds. Herb Nussbaum placed first in mile. Other spots were taken but they are too num¬ erous to be mentioned. Competition for parts in the Senior Play reached a new high this year when try-outs were made for Love Your Neighbor, a riotous farce-comedy by Albert John¬ son. This play has been described as a happy fusion of folk comedy and scintillating, if not sophisticated, h imor. It ' s characters are believable, lovable, and risible. It ' s situations, though dizzy as a Disney pic- ure, are always probable, and in good taste both artis¬ tically and morally.

Hats off to Miss Fosnight—our class sponser, who with her ability helped us to go forward to become a better class now and in the future. The Junior Class brought to you a glimpse of our talent when we presented the Daffy Dills ' on November ninth, with Miss Fosnight as our skillful director. The Juniors took a high spot in athletics this also have a number of people receiving honors in speech. The debate team composed entirely of Juniors Donna Dale Rupp, Donnie Sommer, Russell Stevie, and Richard Coffman, won the county tournament, thereby qualifying for tl e State Contests. Donna Dale also won first place in the State for her original oration on the ' ‘Atomic Bomb. Richard Coffman will go to Columbus sometime in May to compete in the State for Poetry Reading. Donnie Sommer was qualified to enter the State competition for the Marimba.

Waneta Showalter, one of them, has made an outstanding contr ibution to our music de¬ partment with her clarinet. As underclassmen, we hadn ' t much chance for the Varsity teams although we had eight out for Football We had seven members of our class on theReserve Basket¬ ball with three of these standing a good chance of mak¬ ing the Varsity next year. When school was pretty well on its way, we finally got around to electing our class officers--TomlfcFarren, President; Russell Baer, Vice-President; Jeannette Mil¬ ler, Secretary; Donovan Hunsberger, Treasurer; Lois Hranko, Charles Etling, and Marlon Moser, Student Sen¬ ate members. Miss Shilling is our class sponsor. For our chapel program we presented an inexpensive tour around the world. We visited such places as Ire¬ land, where we talked with Paddy (Charles Etling); England, where we had a jolly good chat with the very English Tom McFarren; India, where we thrilled to some rope tricks; China, where we listened to Oriental music; Africa, where a black boy told us his troubles. Then we returned to Dalton, where we found some home-town characters waiting for us, portrayed by Kenny Leisy. -20- First Row: Laura Miller, Dolores Snyder, Doris Eberly, JoAnn Groff, Ronald Gerber, Arthur Hammer, Edward Herr, Thomas Nussbaum, John Hostetler, Wayne Kratzer, James Welsgarber, Mrs, Keirn Second Row; Ruth Franks, Margaret Young, Mildred Vaughn, Donald Patterson, Wallace Gerber, Emory Martin, Willard Ressler, Roy Nussbaum, Robert Brotherton, Marlene McKee, Mary Jeanne Smucker Third Row: Doris Hunsberger, Ruth Nussbaum, Beatrice Hines, Marjorie Steiner, Ifency Warnock, Donna Graber, Kathleen Lehman, Norma Jean Swisher, Elenor Young, JoAnn Speicher, Mildred Nolt Fourth Row: Richard Stevie, Harold Young, George Shammo, William Shaffer, Jerry Hackett, Grant Egley, John Kelbly, Cliff Rutt, David Honbarren, Harold Lehman, Willis Eberly Kenneth Lower Looking into the future, about 1950, we see our¬ selves as Seniors, graduating from the sacred portals of Dalton High with honors. We have high Ideals and much enthusiasm for the many activities of the school. Do we aim too hi ? Is It not better to work in this manner than lag along with no interest whatsoever? To reach our goal we need the help and co-operation of faculty members, upper-classmen, and classmates. We began the year by electing Grant Egley, Presi¬ dent; Jerry Hackett, Vice-President; Eddie Herr, Secre¬ tary-Treasurer. In the Student Senate are Nancy War¬ nock, Marjorie Steiner, and John Kelbly. Mrs. Keirn is our class sponsor. We had many Freshmen trying out for academic hon¬ ors. Eight F ' reshmen prepared declamations and three of our class represented our school in the county, and Marlene McKee went to Columbus where she placed second in the State for Humorous Declamation. In music we have eight regular members in the orchestra and eleven in the band. In the Girls ' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus many Freshmen faces are seen--twenty-elght in all. After many delays, due to circumstances beyond our control, the Freshmen gave an assembly program for the upper-classmen and faculty members which was entitled, Our Sports Preview of 1950. It was a clever way of showing what the sports will be like in the years to come. The ambitious Freshmen are the men and women of tomorrow . ' . ' We are looking forward to our future years of high school when we shall be Seniors. -21- First Row; John Blxler, Richard Stevie, Mary Jeanne Amstutz, Anne Hostetler, Beatrice Brown, Hazel Gerber, Barbara Robart, Jean Marty, Betty Jeannette Nussbaum, Evelyn Frank:s, Pauline Steiner, honna Dale Rupp, Irene Etling, Virginia Kratzer, Marilyn Douglas Second Row; Roy Nussbaum, Eddie Herr, Beverly Venables, Margaret V eisgarber, Carol Beech, Barbara Hofstetter, Corlnne Hofstetter, Viola Steiner, Donna Wertz, Jackie Cope, Celia Gerber, Juanita Lehman, Donna Lee Hammer, Martha Rake, Donna McGovern Third Row; Mr. Victor Gerber, Nadine Moser, Norma Gerber, Marilyn Kelbly, Jeannette Miller, Ruth Poorman, Glenna Clapper, Jeanette Stoln, Vera Jeanne Nussbaum, Roslne Miller, Mary Beery, Winifred Cause, Lucille Kelbly Fourth Row; Donald Sommer, John McFarren, James Blxler, David Hostetler, Stanley Gerber, Mahlon Amstutz, Gerald Hackett, Harold Douglas, Cletus Amstutz, Tom Shank, Marlon Moser, Richard Coffman, Donald Steiner Fifth Row; Richard Rdsenberger, Grant Egley, Charles Etling, Jim Thompson,Wayne Mc¬ Afee, Herbert Nussbaum, Basil Evans, Harry Gerber, Donald Weygandt, Robert Sword, Alvin Buchwalter, Tom McFarren, Richard Smith The Mixed Chorus has made several public appearances this year.

A new feature this Marshallville last August. Next, the Marching Band furnished music and put on hsl f-tlme shows at the foot¬ ball games. This same band played at the Halloween celebrations at both Dalton and Marshallville. The Concert band played for the school Christmas Program year was the Pep Band which played at pep meetings, some home basketball games, and two games at the county tournament. Finally, the band played at the County Instriimental Musicale at Smithvllle, on April 29, 1947.

Bringing football back into our school program of athletics, after a lapse of four years, was no easy task. There were only two short weeks of practice to overcome inex¬ perience and to drill fundamentals into a team that had never been on a football field. The boys were willing and tried hard even though a mere glance at the schedule reveals nothing to verify this statement. They were a green, scared team as they en¬ tered that first game, but a spirited, fight¬ ing squad when the season closed. They gave their best in spite of inexperience. We can truthfully say that no matter how badly the score looked, the team took it in a sportsman like manner--symbollc of every Dalton High School Team.

Other players on the first ten were Herbert Nussbaum, Donald Weygandt, James Thomas, Harold Douglas, and Rodney Graber. Then the tournament, and a clean sweep of honors slipped through our fingers as the Chipps dropped us in The Championship of the tournament. We had already gained our right to advance to the Sectional, but Lady Luck was against us and thus we were eliminated from further honors for this year. One by one. schools dropped as they challenged our Bulldogs. The most notable of early season victories was the defeat handed Strasburg. Our fame and glory grew as on we came through an undefeated league season suffering only two losses in non-league games. The All Star Team was chosen, with Dick Smith on first team as center and Richard Rosenherger and Basil Evans on second team. Tom Shank received honorable mention. Dick Smith was also chosen for the second team Sectional.
