Dalton High School - Luanna Yearbook (Dalton, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 48 of the 1949 volume:

If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immor¬ tal minds, if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellowmen, we engrave on those tablets something which will brighten to all eternity. Daniel Webster We, the Class of 1949, dedicate this annual to our Director of Music, Victor B. Gerber, for his untiring and ceaseless efforts in constantly striving to improve the quality of music in our schools. His enterest and endeavors to discover and introduce new talent both in the school and community affairs is an inspiration to all who work with him. Lee H. Douglas, elementary teacher and prin¬ cipal, for his thirty years of loyal and continu¬ ous service in the Dalton School District. Pew there are, indeed, who have passed through the local grades without coming in contact with his keen mind, scintillating humor, and Scotch canni¬ ness for solving difficulties. These qualities have earned for him the respect and admiration of all who know him. 2 TX w We, The Forty-niners, ' present the fourth edition of the Luanna to our classmates, teachers, and friends as an immortal tribute to Dalton High School and the high ideals for which it stands. We would like to extend our appreciation to all who have contributed in the preparation of this issue. Especially do we wish to recognize Miss Mildred Santschi, our Faculty Adviser, whose patience and untiring efforts have given strength and courage to the entire staff. We wish also to thank Mr. I. Glen Berg, Principal, for his helpful suggestions on the feature articles. Acknowledgments are due to Mr. C. T. Davis and his staff for their fine photography in this Annual, and to the Commercial Pnotolith Company for printing our book. The present Luanna is a record of our endeavors to obtain a fuller and clearer outlook on life, to gain a truer viewpoint by rubbing shoulders with reality. If our photographic journey into some of the many activi¬ ties of school life gives the reader pleasant memories, our mission will have been accomplished and the staff will feel justly rewarded.

We were an unorganized group of sixty-four members until, we became well enough acquainted to elect officers as follows: President - James Thompson; Vice-President - Marion Moser; Secretary - Maryrose Sommer, Treasurer - Charles R. Etling. Our guide for this part of our jour¬ ney was Mrs. Mary Keirn. SEPTEMBER 7 - Registration 8 - Classes started - nose to the grindstone again 14 - Fair Day - Hurrah . ' No school 17 - Football season opened - Doylestown there Girls ' Band appeared for the first time this year 24 - Millersburg there - scared them, but not enough The first great event of the year occurred for us when we were initiated into our covered wagon D. H. S. Turing this reception the many and varied talents of our membership were discovered as we participatedin the activities and stunts which the Seniors had assigned for us to perform. When the initiation was over, we were considered full time passengers in the covered wagon D. H. S. After an enthusiastic start, someone sug¬ gested that we have a party as a refresher activity. Everyone thought this was a pretty good idea. Bob Sword donated his land for a camp site. The caravan had a good time, and after consuming large portions of food, embarked on a hayride. This concluded the first stage of our journey. During our second year, which represented the sec¬ ond stage of our trip, thirteen passengers left our group to travel in different directions, but we gained seven new passengers. Of these seven, only one, Waneta Sho- walter, remained to graduate with us. OCTOBER 2 - Dover St. Joseph there - Yeah, Dalton.

' NOVEMBER The term of our first year officers expired and the following officers were elected: President - Tom Mc- Farren; Vice-President - Russell Baer; Secretary - Jean¬ nette Miller; Treasurer - Donovan Hunsberger; Student Senate: Lois Hranko, Charles R. Etling, and Marion Mo¬ ser. Our adviser for this stage of the trip was Miss Arline Shilling. v DECEMBER 4 - Strasburg there - Oh, well 17 - Doylestown here - Nice going 21 - Smithville there - over-confidence beat us 22 - Christmas program - such melodious music 24 - Christmas vacation - what sWeet words . ' During our second year we decided to take part in a few activities in the Sophomore camp. Eight of our members who were athletes played football, and seven played on the basketball team. We didn ' t have time for a party during this stage of our journey because the trail was hard and long. During this year we discovered something of great im¬ portance - we found the map to the mine which holds the gold of knowledge. The third section of our trip was begun with a new passenger - Hazeljean Sprunger - and s he remained with us to the end of the journey. For the Junior year we elected the following officers: President - Marion Mo¬ ser; Vice-President - Hazeljean Sprunger; Secretary - Lois Hranko; Treasurer - Donovan Hunsberger; Student Senate: Russell Baer, Waneta Showalter, and Tom Mc- Farren. Miss Vivian Douglas guided us through this part of our tour. Because of the great financial expense necessary for such a trip, we decided to give a play for the pur¬ pose of raising funds to continue our journey. We se¬ lected the play, You Can ' t Take It With You, which was under the direction of our class adviser. In the athletic division we were represented by six members on the football field, three members on the varsity basketball squad, and four members on the re¬ serve squad. It was in our third year we found the mine which holds the gold of knowledge. Inexperience preventeo us from uncovering this vein but, in spite of this, we made great progress. To celebrate the big event we in¬ vited the S en i ors to the Junior-Senior Banquet. After many suggestions from the helpful passengers, we deci¬ ded to hold the banquet in a Gypsy Camp. This year as Forty-niners, we finally struck the large vein of the gold of knowledge, but we could not capitalize upon this until certain requirements of tra¬ dition and authority were fulfilled. For the last stage of our journey we chose the following officers: Presi¬ dent - Marion Moser; Vice-President - Charles R. Etling Cont ' d. on p. 16 JANUARY 3 - End of vacation - back to work and worries 13 - Semester exams - Cram. ' Cram. ' Cram.

There were ten Juniors in the Concert Band, twelve in the Or¬ chestra, seven in the All-Girl Band, and twenty-two in the Mixed Chorus. Four members of the class entered solos in the annual music contest at Berea. In speech work the debate team was composed en¬ tirely of Juniors; in the declamation contest, eight Juniors participated. In the field of sports, four Junior boys made the Varsity in basketball and seven in football. There was a Junior member elected for Varsity Cheerleader and two for Reserve Cheerleaders. Our annual Assembly Program featured a bird ' s eye view of Inside U. S. A. A very important all Junior function was the presentation of “The Haunted Chair, the proceeds of which financed the big social event of the .year--the Junior Senior banquet. 18 ' i ..- iM v „ M JUt M •% | $ % I M- % First Row: Robert Domer, Marilyn Weygandt, Robert Snyder, Floyd Johnson,Carol Sommer, Jan¬ ice Douglas, Marilyn Sommer, Carl Showalter, Wanda Wertz, Carolyn Smith, Wanda Shane Christine Nussbaum Second Row: Franklin Stockham, Grace Hoover, Gerry Weisgarber, David Mangle, James Martin Robert Eggeman, Barbara Tinsler, Clark Gerber, Marjorie Ott, Mildred Steiner, Wanda McCoy Third Row: Donald Patterson, Lloyd Lehman, Ernest Horst, Doris Amstutz, Janet Brotherton Edith Nussbaum, Robert Lemon, Carolyn Horst, Patricia Lavering, Mary Alice Baer, Kenneth Steiner Fourth Row: Gene Forrer, Dale Bateman, Leonard Horst, Clark Weygandt, Don Forrer, Jim Huff Mrs. Chovan, Joe Hoobler, Donald Shaffer, Raymond Fahrni, Robert Good, Wendell Douglass Bill Bodager President ------- Vice-President - - - - - Secretary-Treasurer - - Sgt.-at-Arms ------ Student Senate - - - - - Faculty Adviser Janice Douglas Carol Sommer Marilyn Sommer Carl Showalter Joe Hoobler Dale Bateman Doris Amstutz Helen Chovan In September fifty-one students entered Dalton High as Sophomores. Our social activities included a Hallo¬ ween party at Donald Shaffer’s home in MarsLallville, and a skating party at Skateland in Canton. We pur¬ chased white sweaters with black letters in keeping with our class colors. In music we had two girls in the All-Girl Band. We had several boys in the Mixed Chorus and nearly all the girls were in the Girls’ Glee Club. We were also well represented in instrumental music. With the powerful Junior ana oenior Varsity, the Sophomores had little chance for Varsity basketball, but seven of our boys did make the Reserve team. We did have two boys out for football. Two Sophomores were Football Cheerleaders, and for basketball a member of our class was a Varsity Cheerleader, and another member a Reserve Cheerleader. Our class was active in Speech. Four members gave dramatic declamations, five gave humorous declamations, one gave an oration, and two gave original orations. 19 First Row: John Buchwalter, Lilliai Amstutz, Roger Keiner, Tom Hammer, Curtis Sprunger Carol Graher, Beverly Lintern, Donovan Griffith, Russell Gerber, Ernest Geiser, Shirley Wertz, Doyle Bassinger Second Row: Dean Monbarren, June Gerber, Tom Merriman, Harold Gerber, Glenn Ressler, George Indorf, Doris Nussbaum, Gwendolyn Graber, Phyllis Buss, Vera Ann Werntz, Amanda Martin Evelyn Houghton Third Row: Ralph Nolt, Marion Steiner, Gene Weygandt, Robert Johnson, Norma Jean Schultz Peggy Richmond, June Ault, Eleanor Withrich, Norman Moser, Herbert Young, Ralph Indorf Fourth Row: Glenn Showalter, Mr. Berg, Peter Huebner, Jacqueline Kick, Barbara Gause Charles Laverlng, Nora Flueckiger, Mary Yutzey, Mary Horst, Edson Fetter, Norma McGovern Fifth Row: Melvin Brillhart, Harold Hauenstein, Orden Amstutz, Jack Salberg, Jim Tinsler Kenneth Snyder, Ronald Amstutz, Vance Baker, Atlee Gingerich, Donald Van Dyne, Edwin Singer, Raymond Wright President - - - - Vice-President - - Secretary-Treasurer Student Senate - - Faculty Adviser Russell Ger’oei Curtis Sprunger Beverly Lintern Tom Hammer Shirley Wertz Eugene Hazel - I. Glen Berg We entered the sacred portals of Dalton High School with fifty-eight Green Freshmen. We lost two members, but gained one, Phyllis Buss. Then came the big initi¬ ation, which made us full-fledged members. When every¬ one became acquainted, we elected the above officers. Many of our class members took part in the high school activities. We had two Freshman girls who pre¬ pared declamations. In the Music Department there were many Freshman musicians. Six regular members were in the Orchestra and ten were in the Band. In the Girls ' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus twenty-five faces were seen in all. There were seven boys out for basketball, even though they kept the bench warm most of the time they were still in there fighting when we needed them. Eight were out for football, but Russell Gerber was the only letterman. We enjoyed planning and putting on a Television Show for the upperclassmen and faculty members when it came our turn to present the Assembly Program. 20 21 First Row: James Brillhart, Robert Sword, Donovan Hunsberger, James Thompson, Richard Stevie, George Fetter, Jr._, Russell Baer Second Row: Coach Gonter, Harry Gerber, Wayne Hostetler, Marion Moser, David Monbarren Tom McFarren, Bill Merriman, George Shammo, Kenneth Leisy, Charles Etling Third Row: Gerald Hackett, Wayne Kratzer, Wallace Gerber, Vance Baker, Wendell Douglass Donald Shaffer, John Kelbly, Mr. Eastman Fourth Row: Mgr.

The team won 3 in competition and 3 in practice sessions. This brought their wins to 6 - 5 and was the best record since foot¬ ball was re-introduced into our school following the war. Dalton finished second in league competition by losing a tough game to Doylestown. The team showed an excellent record in statistics, but it ' s the score that counts. Hopes are now high for next year if we can rely on the predictions of the thirteen Seniors who played the returning lettermen in their annual end-of-the season scrimmage. 22 23 Second Row: First Row; Hackett, Moser, Thompson, Fetter, Herr, Mgr.

Jim Thompson was elected to captain the squad. Dalton ' s record was 11 won and 10 lost. The team started out poorly, but at the tournament they began to go places and knocked off the champions of league play. All the boys worked hard in practice and harder still in games. In league play the team had a record of 7 - 5. Next year will see four returning varsity men. 24 I First Row Wendell Douglass, Arthur Hammer, James Huff, Grant Egley, David Monbarren Franklin Stockham, Bill Bodager Second Row: Mgr.
