Defiance High School gridders, with only three Seniors on the starting line-up, had a successful season in spite of a tough schedule. Guard George Seibert and Backs Tom Schlosser and Virgil Gibler were the Seniors, all great assets to the Bulldogs, especially on defensive play. Halfback Ray Osborn, a Iunior, scored 54 points in league play this season to lead the Bulldogs and the N.W.O. League in the scoring department. The Bulldogs finished the season with a six win-four lost record. They took second place in the League, second only to a strong Napoleon aggregation.

For the first time, four reserve cheer- leaders were chosen this year. They are Nancy Hohenberger, Sue Demyan, Zora Weaner, and Betty Bilderback. 33 COACHES . . . Defiance High School is proud of its fine coaching staff with Phil Shipe as head football, track, and assistant basketball coach: Ioe Demyan as head basketball and assistant football and track coach, and Claude Henkle coaching the Iunior High teams.

The Iunior High gridders, under the direction of Coach Claude Henkle, opened this year's season by losing to Wauseon, 7-0. Montpelier then took advantage of the Bullpups with a 33-U win. After that defeat, the future D.H.S. varsity lads bounced back to edge Bryan, 7-6, and then went on to victory over the Napoleon Wildkittens, 6-O. In the final game, Bryan avenged the 7-6 defeat by conquering the Bullpups, 12-O. Although displaying a record of two wins and three losses, this year's Iunior High had a very profitable season. TRIKE UP THE BAND . . . - The first half of the game is over and another thrill sweeps over the crowd as the colorful marching band comes onto the field to present a snappy show. When we hear the drums and a football iight-song or see the neat uniforms and twirling batons, it makes us realize all the more that our band is a real asset to the school. This year the government of the band was made up of a council which included: Council president, Yvonne Partee: Council members, Wayne Snyder, Marilyn Meyers, Darlene Hire, and Ierry Rosenberger.

HOMECOMING . . . Trumpets blared and drums rolled, as the 1947 Homecoming Queen, Lettie Parker, made her way to the throne to reign over the Defiance-Bryan football game. Her two attendants were Yvonne Partee, Iunior, and Barbara Spangler, Sophomore. ,AM Her Majesty was crowned at a special pep session by Tom Schlosser, captain of the football team. At this time the attendants were escorted by Ray Osborn, Iunior, and Harold Fry, Sophomore. A special military escort was provided by the Ohio National Guard to escort the queen to her throne before the game where she presented the football to the captains of the two teams. Following the game, the queen and attendants were honored at a dance in the Community Room. Q PLAY OF THE YEAR . . . This year the Iunior Class, under the direction of Mrs. Bohlmann, presented a sparkling presentation of the three-act comedy, But Fair Tomorrow. The plot revolved around a high school girl, Babs Howard tMargaret Haschl who tried, with the assistance of her girl-friends Violet Hatfield tHar- riett Houtl and Muriel Morrison tMarilyn Carrolll, to help run everyone else's lives. Her brother, Handy Howard Uohn Weberl was a typical high school boy. interested in basketball and other sports and, of course, girls. The scene-stealer of the play proved to be Gethsemane Goan Hiattl, the Howard's colored maid. She played the part with great realism. Louise Howard tBarbara Mitchelll was Babs' older sister who was in love with the high school history teacher, Ralph Mason iHerb Fessell. Philip Ward fBill Wilhelml was the teenagers dream man, Buddy Esmond, in disguise. Babs tried to make Ralph Mason jealous by getting the movie star to play up to her sister. Everyone then thought Louise and Ralph had eloped. but they found out later that they hadn't, so everything turned out all right in the end. Babs continued to run lives: Louise went back to Ralph: and the movie star, Buddy Esmond, was still in disguise. LEFT TO RIGHT, SEATED: Bill Wilhelm. Margaret Hasch.

After getting off to a slow start, the 1947-48 Defiance High Basketball team finally caught fire and worked their way into the finals of the District Class A Tourney where they were defeated by a strong Bowling Green quintet, 37-33. Before tournament time, it was Captain Duerk along with Iuniors Dave Speiser and Paul Wrigley who led the Defiance attack. But as D.H.S. opened their tourney drive, it was Speiser and Duerk along with Freshman lack Lehman and Sophomores Bernie Boff and Dick Squire that pulled the Bulldogs through. These three boys, moving up to the varsity from the reserve squad, provided the spark for the victories over Wauseon, 27-26, Van Wert, 34-30, and Perrysburg, 38-34, to gain a finals berth for the second consecudve yeah S C O R E B O A R D December 2 .,... ...,.....

Iunior High squads came through the season in fine fashion. Divided into two separate teams, the up and coming basketballers proved that they will be ready when they reach Varsity age. The Freshmen, coached by Mr. Henkle, had the best of the two records with four wins and six losses during season play and one win and one loss at tournament time. The 7th and 8th grade five recorded seven wins and nine losses during the season and lost their first tournament game. The better a player knows the all-important basketball fundamentals, the better he will be on the hardwood in later years. These young floormen have enjoyed their successful season because they know that with the knowledge of fundamentals, playing will be much easier and more enjoyable in years to come.

HIGH, WIDE AND FLEET-SOME The 1948 Bulldog thinclads got off to an impressive start and kept on an even keel throughout the season. Coach Phil Shipe brought practically a new squad along after the team was hit by the 1947 graduation. The D.H.S. trackmen opened their 1947 track season by taking second place at the Napoleon triangular meet with Swanton. Napoleon was first with 63 2! 3 points, Defiance, second with 55 M, and Swanton third with 36 W. Coach Phil Shipe's wingmen then hit the victory road as they piled up 74 2X 3 points in ia triangular meet with Bryan and Montpelier. The Bulldog thinclads invaded the turf at Maumee and rolled up 87 points as they swept their second straight meet. Their next meet was with Wauseon alone, and the Bulldogs once again romped, 81M to SSM. Next came the league meet and the D.H.S. tracksters, touching off a bril- liant D.H.S. athletic year with more glory as they out-ran and out-jumped every other team and won by an amazing difference of 34 points. Defiance scored 81 points as they won the first league meet in school history. Gene Hale breaks the tape in the mile run . . . Virg Gibler and Tom Schlos- ser take the hurdles together . . .

Let's review what they en- joyed this year. First, on Sep- tember l9, Mr. Lockman, ma- gician cmd escape artist, gave an interesting program, simi- lar to that Houdini used to do, escaping from impossible positions. When October 10 came around, we all shud- dered to hear of the dastard- ly deeds and doings of crim- inals and how the F.B.I. always catches their man. Mr. Grathwell, a G-man. made crime sound pretty bad. We really got down to earth on November 6 when the Deep River Singers pre- sented cr terrific assembly of spirituals and low-down, dirty blues. The pianist was su- perb! All of us like good puppetry and the Cole Mari- onettes didn't let us down. On December 5, the Cole's gave an excellent production of The Tinder Box . When the new year rolled around, so did the versatile Wade Quartette. This marim- ba - playing. b a t o n twirling four opened in Defiance on Ianuary 13. This was followed by a film on Ianuary 38 with Ilona Massey and Alan Cur- tis, called Schubert, the Mel- ody Master . Aha, now we see the classic composers weren't always so classical! Also we now see our fine feathered friends, the birds, in a different light since Mr. G. H. Orians presented such an interesting lecture on Feb- ruary 20. Saw a film, Gay Wings. Eek! What are those little green things all over the school? No, they're not fresh- men, they're snakes! On March l, Mr. Iohnson told us all about the reptiles in a very interesting manner. No, it's not Weems, not the Uptown String Club, but Ramsden! This one-man band moved in on us for a very en- joyable March 18. Ncne of u believed in pixies until April Zl when Mr. Ellis presented the picture Rip Van Winkle . It was so charming that even the Seniors stopped talking long enough to notice! too, FIRST PICTURE: Deep River Quartet. SECOND PICTURE: Wade In- strumental Quartet.

Behold, the dignified t?J Seniors, back in the garb they wore in their baby days! King Iohn Berthold, Queen Lettie Parker, Attendants George Ensign and Marie Heil, and Crown Bearers Don Lang and Donnie Meyer Won their titles by virtue of the Senior Baby Contest. Each year the Annual Staff sponsors a contest to pick the Seniors who were the cutest babies. To find out how they looked back in Those Days , the Seniors bring in pictures taken of them before they were three years old. The pictures are put on display in the Hall of Fame, and crowds of students gather around them to try to match those adorable and innocent infants with the sophisticated Seniors of today. The names, however, are a deep, dark secret, although in some cases it's no use to try to hide the identity . . . they looked then just like they do now. t 'RN lit?

As we look into the future we see a brightly lighted theater after the first performance of The Best Year of Our Life with an all star cast. Let us move closer and hear the chatter of the celebrities gathered around. Well, if it isn't Ruth Schackow . Why, Pat Mack, I haven't seen you for years. You know that my name isn't Schackow but Bowers-Gibler now, don't you? I'm married too, you know, to lake, Don Lang to you. It's really grand to see you. I just happened to remember today that it was exactly 20 years ago that we graduated from good 'ole D.H.S. How did you like the new star Mary Ramsdale? Ican remember when she was just sweet Mary Weisgerber, can't you? Yes, and her leading man! Has Iohn Minck ever changed! But what I really enjoyed most was Mary Underhill's All-Girl Orchestra at intermission. I always thought Pat Osborn would be an expert flutist, and Ieanine Schutt still plays a hot licorice stick. Did you notice how well the Dick Weber-Donelda Osborn Ballet Troupe did, especially their premier danseuse, Virgil Conkright? That is really something, but someone told me too, that Mrs. Albert Weber, formerly Marnie Ducatt, wept for him like a true mother, which she is, nine times, and that Dr. Ralph Butler, the great psychiatrist, watched the whole thing with interest while giving notes to Dr. Clarence DeTray, veterinarian. Good heavens, is that Mrs. Thomas Thompson, nee Donnie Meyer? You know the gown she is wearing was designed by Winfield Hall and all those jewels she is wearing were valued at S4,000. But I hear that her husband is having a lot of competition with a rival jewel- er, Lawrence Skees, who just bought out Tiffany's. Yes. Gene was telling me that Larry is still as crazy about basketball as ever and that he is sponsoring an all-ladies team coached by Dave Hoeffel and Lowell Duerk. The team con- sists of Marilyn Derrow, Ianet Gallup, Mary Lou Gruetman, Betty Leever, and lane Swary. They tell me that he had a special gym designed by George Ensign and dedicated by Richard Beebe, The Sausage King . The entertainment was provided by Walter Starret's Per- petual Quartet including Gene Hutchins, and the Frisinger Twins with Rogel Brown accom- panying them on the Iew's Harp. lake said that the most important organizations of the coun- try were there. The Housewives League, with President, Barbara Foust, and prominent mem- bers Ioan Grawbarger, Bertha Iustus, Charlene Leithauser, and Bernadette Peiffer, and the National Head of Alcoholics Anonymous, Thomas Poor, Esq., with a few of the charter mem- bers, Bob Bucholz, Iim Richards, and Iim Marihugh. I heard that for his excellent job of construction work on the gym, Iohn Berthold was pre- sented the book Our Twenty Years On A Tramp Steamer by those two great authors, Violet Mohr and Norma Gary. After the ceremonies, we went down to Rulman's Rustic Rendezvous, a new night spot, where we met his new cigarette girl, Ann Sproul. She looked positively rav- ishing after her treatments at Audrey Louy's Salon of Beauty. She has many satisfied patrons, I hear, including Lillian Lehman, Mary Ann Neirman, Thelma Roehrig, and Ollie Osborn, who was so enthused with his facial he wrote a book on beauty. Of course you recognized Wayne Snyder announcing the performance over W.F.S., Francis Simonis' own station. He is noted for his flock of secretaries, including Norma Hassel- schwert, Virginia Brenner, Berta Smith, and of course, his personal confident, Lois Graf. I saw lim Duerk, the world renowned journalist and photographer, there covering the story for the New York Telegram. His photographic assistants were some of his old school- mates, Bill Wiseman and Victor Relue. Oh, Ruth, I heard the most choice bit of gossip. It all happened at the Rendezvous when they had that wonderful floor-show with the new dancer Lela Bubbles O'Switzer, with her own chorus line including Dolores Florence, Betsy Watson, Ioan Stock. Dorisanne Heacock, Dolores Mack, and Pat Nickels. Also in the act were Tom Schlosser and Ioanne Steele doing an Apache Dance. It was so wild that afterwards two janitors, Bob Antoine and Iim Bowers, had to come out and clean up the remains. They raised such a dust that it got in Robert Kel- ler's eyes, which were all over the chorus line, and it gave him such pain the great lady surgeon, Dr. Norma Birchmeier had to operate on the spot. Nurses there to assist her were Ianice Schlembach, Doris Memmer, and Marilyn Dirr. Oh, there's lake over there motioning to us, I think he wants to take you up to our apart- ment. He just loves to show it off. So, dear fellow crystal gazers, let us turn our eyes in to the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lang. As we enter the room we see the women gathered around the fireplace and the men off in a corner discussing the latest things in politics. Let us hear what the women are talking about. Ruth, I hear that the millionaire rancher, Robert Williamson Esq., is planning to attend the 1968 Olympics with Miss Bessie Rohlf, the national head of the 4H clubs in America, and Iames Osborn, United States Secretary of Agriculture. They're interested in seeing George Sei- bert, the 250 pound tackle with the Chicago Bears, who is going to play with the All-Pro team in the Olympics. Others who will participate in the Olympics, they say, are Shotputter Iames Stailey: Miler Bob Herderp Gerry Held and Gene Guilliam, world famous hurdlers: and Darleen Hohenburger, high jumper from Illinois. Pole Vaulter Louis Konst is expected to hit a world's record of 19 feet. Did you hear that George Morris and Glen Dunlap are the official timers? Pat Hendricks. Io Hubbard, Gret Murphy, Lettie Parker, and Betty Osborn will represent the U. S. in the Wo- men's Open Swimming Teams. 1 Moving on farther we find Marie Heil. the Metropolitan Opera Singer. singing Too Fat Polka . Accompanying her on the piano is Clara Brinck and also in the limelight is Madge Hardesty, the woman physicist who made Einstein look like a schmoe. Some of her lab as- sistants were Dorothy Webb, Marjorie Wohn, Kathleen Clemens, and Germaine Marchal. But, back to the ladies. and their Olympic conversation. Our old friend Don Hurtt. I un- derstand, is also with the All-Pro Olympic team. Yes, I hear that Don got so interested in the game that he persuaded Dorothy Mack, own- er of the club, to hire four professional cheerleaders, and guess who they are? Margaret Webb, Alberta Froelich, Gladys Sanford, and Marjorie Schlosser! They are all employed by Berniece Hunt's Professional Club for Women. Berniece is president and Ray Wells is treasurer. They say he is very wealthy! That's not all-oops-have to close now-the finance company just took over our crystal ball! Oh, well, if that's what the future brings, they're welcome to it!
