ED ON HIGH SCHOOL WEST INDIANA STREET EDON, OHIO Volume 22 A major trend this year was the control of communicable diseases- In the fall of 1976 former President Ford issued a nationwide inoculation plan against Swine Flu. Also, a rise in the number of cases of measles lead to an inoculation plan to be adopted in many areas. Inoculation for measles was held in the Edon Schools on February 17, 1977. Ninety ' -five students in grades 4 through 12 received the inoculation. Lori Wagner, pictured on the right, received an inoculation from County Nurse Barb Wixom. Inoculation for Swine Flu was held at Edon High School for Edon residents on October 20, 1976. Curtis Lump, pictured on the extreme right, received his Swine Flu shot from County Nurse Mrs. Thelma Clark. The community of Edon underwent several structural changes this year. The Edon Railroad Station Old Doll, pictured above and on the preceding pages, was given a new look. The Williams County Historical Society and the people of Edon moved the building to a new foundation southwest of its former location. Plans are to preserve the Depot for posterity. While the Depot was changing the south side of Edon, the North side of town received a new Bridge on Route 49. While under construction, the bridge rerouted traffic including school buses for many months. 4 The Edon Bicentennial Celebration was held August 19 through 22, 1976. Among the many festivities were the crowning of the Queen, the beard judging contest, bicycle races, a chicken bar-be-que, the Bicentennial Parade, Square Dance in the street, a Pot Luck Dinner, and the Community ' Choir Concert. Pictured on the left is the float entry by St. Peter ' s Lutheran Church, Edon, in the Bicentennial Parade. Winter affected everyone this year. The National Weather Service reported it was the coldest January in 177 years for the eastern two-thirds of the nation. The severe weather and resulting energy shortages led the Edon School Board to adopt certain energy practices. The Edon Schools operated on fuel oil, delivery pictured above, and no cutback was experienced. However, a policy of conservation was practiced. Classrooms were kept at 68 degrees and the number of after school activities were decreased. Responding to a survey taken by the Key of E Staff, 61.5% of E.H.S. students believed there was no energy shortage, and only 28.4% practiced conservation by lowering home thermostats. On Friday, September 24, 1976, Leanne Field, the new athletic field, was dedicated at the first home football game. Pictured on the left, Mr. Adams, school superintendent, presents the deed to Mr. Allomong, President of the Board of Education. Entertainment was provided by the Community Choir, pictured behind Mr. Adams and Mr. Allomong, and the Edon High School Band. 5 The Presidential Elections in the fall of 1976 brought change to the government of the United States. After eight years of Republican rule, Jimmy Carter, a Democrat and former Governor of Georgia, became the 39th President and the first man from the ' ' deep south ' ' to become President since Zachary Taylor in 1849. Carter defeated Former President Ford with a slim 51 to 48 percent popular-vote majority. However, in a poll taken on Election Day at Edon High School, Former President Ford defeated President Carter with a wide majority. President-Elect Carter and Vice- President-Elect Walter Mondale are pictured on the right and on the opposing page at the top. Pictured below are Former President Ford and Ronald Reagon at the White House Summit Meeting held after the November Elections. Ford and Reagon had both sought the Republican Party ' s Nomination for President with the vote eventually going to Former President Ford. The Republican Party Leaders met to discuss the unification of the Party. (UPI Photo) On the right below is the White House at Christmas Time.

This event is pictured below cm the left when the ships visited Newport, Rhode Island. (Photo L. Pendleton) The year 1976 ended with the tragedy of the ’ ’Argo Merchant ' 1 , a Liberian tanker, that ran around near Nantucket Island polluting the Atlantic Ocean with 7 . 6 million gallons of oil. In the first weeks of 1977 two more major accidents involving oil tankers in the Delaware River and Los Angeles occured. Pictured top, right below is the ' ' Argo Merchant ' ' tom in half by heavy seas spilling its cargo into the Atlantic. (UP1 Photo) Another oil spill occured in April, 1977. The oil resulted from a blowout in a well in the North Sea off the coast of Norway. Platform Bravo pictured middle, right below is sprayed by ' ' Seaway Falcon a fire fighting ship. (UP1 Photo) An American expert from Texas, Paul Red Adair finally succeded in capping the well.

Cheerleaders then began to build on this theme by rallying the student body and the team during spirit week. The five days before the game were as follows: Monday-Blue and White Day, Tuesday-Farmer Day, Wednesday- hair-do-day, Thursday- hat and tenny day, and Friday-Dress-up Day. The students chose Lisa Mohre to represent Edon High School as the 1976 Homecoming Queen. Each class chose an attendant for the Queen ' s court. The freshman attendant was Dee Thiel, sophomore was Tricia Price, Junior was Anne Eich, and Senior attendant was Deb Manges.

The Junior and Senior class presented a comedy-mystery this year entitled A Midsummer Night ' s Scream. The production was directed by Mrs. Barb Fogel and the student director was Doug Purdon. The cast involved seven fe¬ male speaking parts and six male actors. Inky Sue, a black cockapoo, also had an important role in the play cast. The play was about a group of teenagers who were trying to raise money for a community youth center. Along the way they meet up with a grumpy old millionaire (Craig Buell) and a mysterious theatre ghost (Eddie Prince). All turns out well, when the group puts on their hysterical version of Shakespere ' s A Midsummer Night ' s Scream, which raises the needed money. The play was only presented on November 12 this year with the profit being divided between the two classes. JUNIOR AND SENIOR PLAY A SCREAM!

Several students were chosen as spotters and also helped demonstrate bouncing on the trampoline. In March, Klaus Siebert, spoke about Americanism. Also in March, the Musical cast and crew presented a preview of The Sound of Music. Scene changes were a problem, but the scenes themselves were nicely done. On April 27, the Stryker High School Band and Chorus presented the songs they were going to sing and play at con¬ test for the Edon Student Body. Awards Day, May 18, was suspenseful for many students. Awards kept secret all year, were presented to many students for outstanding achieve¬ ments. Assistants pictured helping the trampolinist in this assembly are Bruce Siders, Deb Strup, and Lyle Curry. ASSEMBLIES Look What We Got For 50 t! 15 SPRING MUSICAL This year ' s musical production, chosen by Mr. Gallehue and Mrs. Peugeot, was Rodgers and Hammersteins ' THE SOUND OF MUSIC. The directors decided to move the musical up about a month to April 1 and 2 so as not to interfere too much with spring sports. Tryouts for the all¬ school musical were held at the end of February which then made it possible for the main cast to practice for about six weeks and the other parts for three weeks. Mrs. Hall ' s advanced art class created all the necessary props for the musical. Janet Doty and Angie Lutz painted the main scene, an Alpine Valley, on a newly purchased backdrop. Mrs. Richer ' s Home Ec. classes helped make clothing for the various groups such as the nuns and Nazis. The Sisters from Blakeslee lent habits for the Mother Abbess and helped three nuns with speaking parts. Parents made the matching play clothes required for Captain Von Trapp ' s seven children. Elaine Wuebben accompanied the singing parts on the piano along with the pit band. The musical was a huge success with the house being packed out both nights. Main parts in the 1977 musical were as follows: Maria Rainer (Mary Hoag) Captain Von Trapp (Dennis Curry), Liesl (Lisa Mohre), Friedrich (Doug Stayner), Louisa (Sandy Osmun), Kurt (Robert Seaman), Brigitta (Bobbi Jo Livensparger,) Marta (Kim Glendenning), Gretl (Jamie Brigle) the seven children of the captain.

The Spanish Club, advised for the eighth year now by Mrs. Posey, had a very successful year this year in several ways. They were able to learn many new Mexican and South American customs through guest speakers. Also, through a fall sales campaign, they were again able to send two members to Mexico for further study. The two members chosen for scholarship in Spanish character, club participation, overall scholarship, and maturity, were Trish Phillips, and Don Wuebben with Kerry Brigle selected as alternate. The club began the year with a meeting for old members. Plans for an initiation ceremony were made and then carried out at the next meeting. The new members were required to wear a Spanish costume and after these were judged they were taken to the Temple farm for an initiation and hayride. Michelle Wertman and Mary Hoag, who had gone to Mexico the summer of ' 76, showed slides and talked of the life of the people in Cuernavaca and places they had seen. Later in the year, Sister Linda and Mr. and Mrs. Missler also brought slides and souvenirs to two of the meetings. The very last meeting, only attended by those who had earned 100 points or more, was a banquet held at Trevino ' s in Defiance. New officers were elected at this meeting. The Spanish Club would like to recognize and thank Mrs. Posey for the willingness and the work she has done to make it possible for members to study in Mexico for five weeks this year.

The cider was sold as a refreshment at several football games. The Annual FFA Banquet was held March 15 in the high school cafeteria. Awards were presented and FFA Queen, Sue Knapp, was honored. The FHA girls served at the Banquet. In the Spring, the FFA boys planted soybeans on 15 acres of land rented from Hershel Skiles.

FOOTBALL A Frustrating Season The 1976 Football season was a very frustrating season for the team and the coaching staff. One factor which added to this was the long list of in¬ juries. There were several bright spots in the season, the biggest being the play of the underclassmen while upper¬ classmen were out of action. Another bright spot was the individual play of some of the boys. A1 Lupien led the team in tackles with 50 assisted tackles and 17 unassisted fin¬ ishing his football career at Edon in good form. Jerry Matthew ' s hard nose attitude kept the team moving and Brent Hug ' s threatening break away speed always brought hope. Gary Gearhart, a Soph¬ omore running back, had the longest T.D. run of 98 yards in the victorious Homecoming game. Chosen best back of the Edon squad was Brent Hug, best lineman-Al Lupien, most improved-Gary Gearhart, and M.V. P.-Jerry Matthews. Above: Where the action is!

Next year does look very promising though as the Bombers golf team only graduated one senior, Dave Thomas, off the team. One of the returning members will be Bill McNamee, this year ' s medalist. Bill, only a sophomore, will aid the golf team to victory for two more years. CHESS Checkmate This year marks the third annual Edon High School Chess Tournament. This years tourney was held over the noon hour and played with the competitors chess sets. A new rule this year was that each participant competing must make one move over the course of the noon hour. The tournament is a double elimination tournament meaning it takes two losers to be out. Last years champion, Kerry Brigle, returned this year only to face a whole tournament full of tough competitors. When it came down to the end it was Curt Stantz (4-1) against Kerry Brigle (4- 0). Curt in a do-or-die situation beat Kerry in the first match but lost the second one. This makes Kerry the first person to win the Tourney two years in a row.

Some of our opponents found themselve meeting unparrelled encounters, which challenged the very essence of the word cross country. It is located at the Steffes and Manges gravel pit which is about five miles outside Edon. Edon hosted the BBC League meet at it ' s course. The regular course had to be modified to accomodate the eight teams in the league. The record time for this season was 13:02 run by Terry Whitney. There were no seniors on the team this year, so as far as returning talent, it should be 100% for next year, and that ' s something for an up and coming sport to look forward to.

RESERVE BASKETBALL JVs Recover From 0-6 To 8-10 The 1976-77 Edon Reserve Basketball team will be remembered as one of the most exciting teams Edon has had in recent years. The team showed constant improvement, as is indicated in the following statistics: Before Christmas the team compiled an 0-6 record, averaging 35 points per game and giving up 46. After Christmas, the team compiled an 8-4 record, which quite easily could have been 11-1, while scoring 45 points a game and permitting only 39. • 3 X Lyle Held grabs another rebound.

The squad relied on the fast break and a fullcourt man-to¬ man press which forced opponents into many turnovers A reserve scoring record of 67 points was set against Camden and other impressive wins were over Montpelier, N. Central, Tinora, Fremont, and Antwerp, in which the team scored 27 points in one six- minute quarter. Commenting on the season, Coach Caris said, ■ ' Our steady improvement over the season is a tribute to these young men. They worked very hard and had excellent attitudes. At the start of the season, we were very green; but from Christmas on we were a very good basketball team. Everyone contributed to our success and I ' m very proud of all of them. ' ' The Freshmen team showed considerable improvement despite the major injuries to players Joe Best and Greg Frank. The team also showed an efficient amount of talent ti all spectators. They lost tough games but still shot fairly good from outside as well as under the basket. They played mostly a zone defense, usually a 1-2- 2. The team advanced into the semi-finals of tourney by edging out Hilltop in OT, but were defeated by Pettisville in the following game. The season was fairly successful and Coach Peugeot feels proud of the accomplishments. FRESHMEN BASKETBALL Freshmen Improve Throughout Season % ■ l ' 4a ' f 1 44 1 54 1 .

BOMBER BASEBALL Sectional Champs The Edon Bombers Baseball Team had a complete turn around in 1977 from 1976. The Bombers posted a 9-5 record while winning their Sectional Tournament. The ball club was made up of all underclassmen with only one senior. The team was led in pitching by Junior, Curt Stantz, and Sophomore, Lyle Held, while the leading hitters were Junior, Gary Bowling and Sophomore, Jack Stantz. The most important factor on the ball club was that it was an entire team effort by every individual on the team. Different players on the club came up with the big play or the big hit when it was needed to carry the team to victory. The future looks bright for Edon Baseball with all the returning players for next year and the development of the reserve team that came on strong during the season.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Moving On To A Winning Season Volleyball practice began on August 23, two weeks before school started with a new coach, Miss Lehman. Her theory was that the best team was a physically fit team, so for the first week, no one saw a volleyball, but everyone had lots of sore muscles for several days from excercising. The first match was held the second day of school. The girls won this game, and ended their season with a 10-1 record for the regular season. At the end of the scheduled games, Edon was invited to participate in a tournament sponsored by North Central. The team, not working together, lost the last two games in this tournament, These losses, however, gave the girls incentive to play their very best in the Sectional and District. They claimed the district runner-up trophy after a hard fought battle with Montpelier and ended the sea¬ son with a commendable 20-4 record. The team also took the league championship with a 5-0 record. Teresa Hug and Mary Ann Smith were voted to all league first team. Teresa was high scorer for the team and Mary Ann Smith set a record for the most points scored consecutively, 14 points, and the most points scored in a game, 21 points. The crowd cheers as the girls score a point against Montpelier in the tournament games. Coach Lehman explains a play. 56 Susan Siebenaler assisted by Sis Hug, returns the ball. Sue Siebenaler was voted to all county second team and Mary Hoag was voted honorable mention by the league coaches. Most Valuable Player for the season was Sis Hug. The Reserve team began practice along with the Varsity by excercising. All were required to learn the over hand serve, and to set the ball. The girls worked very hard, but inexperience was against them. They won their very last game against Edgerton which gave them a 1-13 season.

Then these qualified people are placed in their job area through the school place¬ ment office. A requirement for Seniors is government and for Juniors, English and then the rest of their day is divided between related class or the book part of the learning process and the lab. Students at Four-County are encouraged to participate in regional and national com- petitional fields of their own.

This was his eighth year as Superintendent and his seventeenth year with the school system. Mr. Adams, originally from Van Wert County, received his BS Degree from Defiance College, MS Degree at Indiana University, and Education Degree at the University of Toledo. One of the major changes this year was the passage of a five mill tax levy in June, 1976. This was due to the removal of the copper cables along county road K which was the taxable property of the American telephone and Telegraph Company. Winter caused many bussing and heating problems. Edon schools were heated by oil instead of natural gas and was not forced to close due to a gas shortage. A total of twelve school days were missed, but because of the special legislation, the days were not required to be made up. Chris Gotshall, after spending the preceding year as High School Supervisor at the Williams County office, returned as Principal at Edon High. Mr. Gotshall received his BA at Adrian College ar M. of Education at University of Toledo.

Donna planned to leave the EHS cafeteria at the end of this, her sixth year, while Millie planned to continue if a head cook could be found to replace Donna. Janitors, Jr. Lloyd, Ron Schuller, Joe Smith, and Dayton Young were in charge of the maintenance of the Jr. High and the High School, and Max Skiles was in charge of the caring for the Cooney school. During The summer the janitors were busy sanding down the floor of die old gym, painting its walls, and putting in new lights. They said their biggest problems were the boilers breaking down and people (including teachers) borrowing tools and not returning them. The bus drivers seemed to have problems with the buses breaking down during the year. The school bought one new bus at the beginning of the year and one used one at the end of the year. The snow and winter weather was a major problem for all bus drivers this year. DRIVERS Cook Donna Price busily Cook, Millie Luke, prepares butters bread. the daily meal. FACUL TY Three new teachers joined Edon High School faculty this year. They were: Marleen Lehman teaching P.E. , Barbara Fogel teaching English, and John Steinman teaching Vo. Ag. In a survey taken by the Key of E Staff it was found that there were several new items purchased for different departments. The English department acquired fifteen new dictionaries and a new bookcase, the Vo. Ag. room got a bulletin board, and the History rooms got new drapes and a chalk board. Mr. Thiel, when asked what was new in his room, remarked humorously, 1 ' Oh, about 60 freshman. ' ' Several other questions were included the same survey. In response to the question, ' Are you happy in your job? ' 100% replied positively. The question ' How was T.V. influenced education today? ' 60% of the teachers thought it had an adverse effect and 40% thought it had a positive effect. You think you know the teachers at Edon High School, but did you know . . that if Mr. Von Allmen could choose another profession, it would be professional golfing. That one of Mrs. Richer ' s hobbies is softball? that 90% of the teachers enjoy getting up at sunrise or within a few hours thereafter? that Mr. Senger ' s second choice for a vocation would be the Air Force.

The Junior High School en¬ joyed many activities this year. In the fall, after the eighth grades elected class officers, card sales began. The profits from these sales went into the Junior High Athletic fund. This year the money was used to pur¬ chase basketball equipment and football uniforms. In November, they sold Fall Festival tickets along with the Elementary stu¬ dents. To boost sales, the faculty challenged the boys and girls to a volleyball game. In order to at¬ tend the game, students must have sold a minimum of tickets. The boys and the faculty played two very close games, although the faculty won. The faculty easily beat the gilrs. A Christmas Party was planned for the last day of school before vacation. They enjoyed refresh¬ ments and the movie T HE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER. There was also a spring party with the movie SNOWBALL EXPRESS. The eighth graders enjoyed a class trip to Cedar Point. The seventh graders went to Pokagan Park.

She began her teaching career in several one room schools through¬ out Bridgewater Township, after receiving a two year Diploma from Bowling Green State University. She taught at the Ainger School for three years and another three years at the North Bridgewater School. She also taught one year at the his¬ torical Hay-Jay School. In 1944, Miss Eleanor Briner became Mrs. George Lesnet and aga in changed schools. She taught one year at Scott School in Superior Township and settled down to the life as a homemaker. The next fourteen years were spent raising their four children. In 1958, Mrs. Lesnet returned to teaching taking a position at the Northwest School with the fifth grade. She taught at the Northwest Building until 1969. From the Fall of 1969 until the Spring of 1976, Mrs. Lesnet taught fifth grade at the New Edon Middle School. She then returned to the Northwest building in the Fall of 1976 to spend her last year with the fourth grades at Northwest. The subject Mrs. Lesnet enjoyed teaching social studies. Many of her students remember enlarging each state of the United States to make a huge new map all their own. She also enjoyed teaching art being careful to stress that each student should express his or her self personally through their work. Because each student is different, Mrs. Lesnet felt each student must be treated in a special way. She was under¬ standing and always found something to love about all her students. For Mrs. Lesnet the most enjoyable part of being a teacher, was watching the social development of her students. To watch responsibility grow and to help students become more aware of themselves as a social being was her most important goal an an Educator.
