Who do the sophomores rely on when they order their rings? Who solves the juniors prom problems? And who helps the shaky senior get into college? To whom does the faculty turn with a discipline problem? Every individual in Metamora High School looks up to Superintendent O. J. Pifer as the man who guides us through school and out into the world. The teachers look toward him, knowing that, with his help, they can inspire and teach us the cultures and problems of the world. We all need Mr. O. J. Pifer. (Mr. O. J. Pifer, Superintendent of Schools) Mr. Pifer is known for his patience, understanding, strong will, and intelligent mind. These are the qualities that helped him graduate from Metamora High School in 1928, earn his AB at Defiance College in 1933, and proudly re- ceive his MA in 1941 from Toledo University. He became superintendent of Metamora High School in 1944 because of these qualities. And in 1964 we all proudly stated that Mr. Pifer had become the executive head of the new consolidated school district. We all want to show our appreciation in every possible way. A simple “Thank you” doesn’t seem enough to ex- press the way we feel. The seniors of 1965 want to ex- press the feelings of everyone in our school by letting Mr. Pifer know how well he is thought of. With his help we are becoming mature individuals. 6 Teachers Educate Tomorrow’s Leaders 00000000003 @0000000©000 Miss Ruth Nachtrieb, teacher of English and Business Subjects, earned her B.S. at Bowling Green State University and her M.A. at Ohio State University.

They are: Eldeen Mann, Board Member; Herbert Barnes, Vice President; Stanley Ottgen, President; Patricia Simon, Clerk; Gertrude Cook, Board Member; John Taylor, Jr., Board Member. When any information is needed, the office is the place to go and Mrs. Pifer or Mrs. La Fountain is the person to see. Many duties are carried out by these two secretaries. With their help everyone successfully gets through the school day. 9 Mrs. O. J. Pifer and Mrs. Clarence LaFountain Could Our School Function Without Them? Everyone appreciates the hard work put in by the school cooks, Mrs. Norris Kane and Mrs. Victor Sell. They always have a friendly smile for those who pass through the cafeteria line. Through rain, through sleet, through hail and sunshine come our friendly bus drivers, Doug Barnaby, Harold Waterbury, Zeno Lumbrezer (standing), Doug Doyle, and Ivan Gascho (sitting), to take us to school. Going through one of their numerous tasks are our faith- ful custodians, John Tripp and Doug Doyle. They have been with us for many years, and we could not get along without them. 10 Class of ’65 The Future is Bright Sgt. at Arms, Linda Pinkelman; Reporter, Cheryl Barnaby; Treasurer, Jim Farley; Secretary, Sandy Gormley; Vice Pres- ident, Cheryl Becker; and President, Alan Janney were elected as off ice rs by the Senior class this year. As the year has passed it can be seen that they have fulfilled their duties well. Mr. O. J. Pifer, advisor of the Senior class, helps them a great deal. Through his patience and assistance graduation was a success. Seniors rushing through the hall and stopping at their lockers is a common sight in Metamora High School. Lockers slam and books drop just seconds before the final bell. 12 Valedictorians (Bonita Heyman) Meteor Staff 4; Mirror Staff 4; Girls Basketball 3,4; G.A.A. 1,2,3,4; F.H.A. 1,2; Band 1,2; Girls Glee Club 2; Drama Club 4; Bowling team 4.

A Senior at School Studying also comes in handy when you are a Senior. Alan Janney finds out when he takes a Physics test. The importance of having a good president is brought out by Grace Foreman during her cam- paign speech. A Senior is caught off guard! Terry Drennan is trying to refresh his mind on arithmetic. Taking attendance is one of the Seniors’ duties. Mere- dith Schafer is seen making the attendance slips. Judy Pinkelman hurriedly gathers up her books and coat as she gets ready to leave school. 21 A Day at M. H. S. Students in Problems class took part in a presidential campaign. After mass picketing the student body voted for their favorite candidate. No one would want to be in the way of the stu- dents after the last bell has rung. There is al- ways a race for a seat on the bus. Right: Mary Eisel, Jo Ann Born, and David Roe are seen coming from their English class. Below: It always comes in handy to have a carpenter in the school. Paul Barnes fixes one of the Agricul- ture Room’s chairs. David Pifer, Diane Pinkelman, Mary Jo Weis, and David Winn were dressed by Mr. Ellis in the style of clothing that is popular in Java. 22 Class of 66 Linda Bettinger Patricia Borck Joan Born Christine Cramer Carole Crockett Louise Currier Michael Delauter Randy DeVriendt Beverly Flack Darlene Floro Joseph Foreman Jerry Gee Judy Gee Gretchen Geer Jeffrey Geer Janet Hassen Kenneth Hiatt William Hildreth Dennis Hill Karen Iffland Sharilyn Kolbe Patricia Komon Michael Langenderfer Wayne Langenderfer Paul Lumbrezer Audrey McBride Linda McKimmy Darlene Miller Glenn Miller Gusta Moody Michael Miller William Mitchey Thomas Moore Sandra Nichols Robert Noe Kathy Ottgen Gary Peebles David Pinkelman Mark Phillips David Pifer 24 Just One More Year Robert Rosebrock Richard Sallows Classie Scott Alice Shaffer Hal Shall Alan Stasa Bill Tripp David Winn Penny Woodward Cathy Wotring Margaret Davila (abs) The class officers for the junior class are: first row: Randy DeVriendt, President; Pat Komon, Reporter; Karen Iffland, Secretary; second row: Bill Tripp, Vice President; Dave Winn, Treasurer; Jeff Greer, Sgt. at Arms.

This class, composed mostly of juniors, is taught by Miss Ruth Nachtrieb. Shorthand II is taught by Miss Ruth Nachtrieb. Trying to increase their speed, keeps the girls busy throughout the year. General science can be fun as illustrated on the faces of the students in the pic- ture. This class, taught by Julius Bitter, is required for Freshmen. 30 New Opportunities Physics, which is offered every other year, was entered into by many students. It is taught by Mr. Julius Bitter. The class does many ex- periments and also takes tests as in the picture. World geography, taught by Mr. Robert Yaekel, was en- tered by only boys. This interesting subject is not only dull facts, but it can be fun as illustrated in the picture. French, taught by Miss Joan Sanderson, is the only language taught here. The French I class, shown in the picture, learn the fundamental of the French language. 31 Pursuing The Challenge Business arithmetic, taught by Mr. Kevin Kane, is working with fundamental mathematics. The students know that this subject will be of great help to them throughout their lives. Changing a tire is just one of the many things learned in drivers1 education which is taught by Mr. J. C. Phillips. This education will be valuable to students. World history, also taught by Kevin Kane, is not completely facts and old relics. The students find it very inter- esting, unless they are taking a test. 32 but I didn't know the half of it. . . But I want to know, trying. .and I'll always keep Oh, I knew a lot of things. . .

Pifer, R. De- Vriendt, D. Winn, J. Burroughs. Kneeling, Managers D. Tredway and G. Miller, H. Becker, J. Geer, M. Phillips, M. Delauter. Who puts the pep into the pep sessions? Who puts the zest into the cheers and excites the spirit of both the team and the spectators? It’s the Varsity cheerleaders. Pat Doyle, Carol Miller, Cheryl Barnaby, and Judy Pinkelman try their hardest to cheer the players on to Victory. Ability With a Successful Season Jeff Geer David Pifer Mike Delauter The Metamora Tigers showed excel- lent hustle and spirit this year. The varsity boys did not let their height factor get in the way of a good season. All but one of the boys are underclass- men. Jerry Burroughs, our departing senior, has been a very valuable asset to the varsity team for the past three seasons. He will be greatly missed next year. Mr. Kevin Kane did an excellent job of teaching and coaching the boys. Coach Kane and the team are credited with a fine season. Jerry Burroughs Dave Winn Mark Phillips Howard Becker Randy DeVriendt Spirit Put To Test By Reserve Team Members of the reserve team are: Bryan Donahue; Dennis Hill; Tom Dierkens; Jerry Gee; Mike Gormley; Richard Moore; Mike Langenderfer; Gary Peebles; Mr. Kevin Kane, Coach; Glenn Miller and Duane Tredway, Managers. Absent are Bill Tripp; Brent Barnaby; David Simon; and Howard Becker. The reserve team has had a very good season. Much valuable experience has been gained by the boys for next year on the reserve and varsity squads. Dazzling the Tigers with their morale boosting cheers are Reserve cheer- leaders, Suzie Fillinger, Beverly Flack, Kathy Gil- len, and Gloria Doyle. These girls encourage the fans to cheer with them in helping the boys do their very best. 52 Jr. Hi Learns Sportsmanship Making up the junior high team are: Row 1: David Simon, Arnold Koester, Tom Rice, Mike Stutz- man. Row 2: Coach Paul Barnaby, David Martin, David Duncan, David Leoffler, Brent Barnaby, Eugene Mitchey, Larry Dierkens. Row 3: Mike Crooks, Alan Miller, Mike Miller, Harvey Hiatt, Aaron Delauter, Sam Foreman, William Miller, Joe Simon. The Metamora Junior High fought very hard and with much determination against their foes. Coach Barnaby worked very hard with the boys as he had them in top physical condition. The Junior High cheer- leaders, Martha Mears, Mary Ann Malone, Marsha Wells, and Mary Nichols have perfected the old cheers and learned new ones. After completing one year of cheering, these girls have shown the abili- ty and enthusiasm that is needed to be a good cheer- leading squad. 53 Making up the basketball king and queen court are: Freshmen, Marcia Wells, Brent Barnaby; Juniors, Beverly Flack and Jeff Geer; Jodi Kane, Queen Pat Doyle, King Jerry Burroughs, Curt Condon, Coach Kevin Kane, Seniors, Richard Moore, Cheryl Barnaby; Sophomores Howard Becker, Gloria Doyle. Basketball King and Queen Crowning Highlights the Season The highlight of our high school career is the thrill of being “king and queen for a night.” Voting by secret ballot takes place a week before the big night. “Who should the king and queen be?” each person thinks before they write down their choice and also choose the attendants they wish to represent their class. The school is in a hub-bub of whispers during the long week as the royal subjects and their court secretly choose their dresses and get their suits cleaned. February third finally arrives. After the night’s hard-fought game with Pettisville, the gymnasium was cleared. The tension mounted, and hearts beat faster as the lights were dimmed. The music started to play softly. Coach Kane announced the attendants who represented the four classes. Then . . . “Announcing the Basketball King and Queen for 1965, Pat Doyle and Jerry Burroughs.” Carrying the crowns for the royalty were little Jodi Kane and Curt Condon. The king and queen stepped under a canopy of two-tone blue. The Coach crowned Jerry, and Jerry in turn crowned Pat with her flowered tiara. A dozen long-stemmed deep pink roses were presented to the queen. 56 Left: Jerry Burroughs beams happily as Coach Kevin Kane crowns him King for 1965. Below: The crowning is a big event. Proud parents watch as their children become royalty. The crowd comes out to congratulate Pat Doyle and Jerry Burroughs. Above: Everyone is all smiles as they attend the dance in honor of the Basketball King and Queen.

Let’s take a look from the catchers point of view as Jerry Burroughs and Howard Becker practice for their next game. Turns To Thoughts Of Baseball Critical Stages in every game require quick thinking by our coach, Mr. Kane. The Tigers are up. At this time the boys decide to take a rest until it is their turn to bat.

To keep the opposing team out of the key and out from underneath the basket, a zone is used.

Everyone has a list of songs that were sung at many of the homes in the Metamora area. Back at school the refreshment committee prepared hot chocolate to be served with doughnuts to the freezing carolers. Following the caroling came a game of “Steal the Bacon. Everyone participated in this game and tried their hardest to score for their team. Bruises and torn pants added a bit of excitement to the game. By this time everyone’s appetite was large.

Tears of excitement and joy were expressed by Diana Fillinger, Nancy Pinkelman, Linda Sell, Judy Pinkelman, and Sharon Martin as their names were announced. The votes were cast and the ten- sion continued to mount. As light bulbs flashed and cam- eras clicked, Terry Drennan placed the crown upon Nancy Pinkelman’s head, coronating her Prom Queen of 1964. 85 Terry crowns Nancy ‘Queen. An Evening In Switzerland After going back for seconds, guests wind up their meal with pie and cake. Jokes are told, autographs are signed, and pictures are taken as everyone gets ready to visit Swiss Fantasy. Meredith Schafer and Jeff Geer enjoy the evening by listening to the enchanting music played by the Skyliners. Linda Bettinger serves Judy Pinkelman and Vic- tor Glanz while they are enjoying the delicious meal that was served by the junior mothers. On May 9, Swiss Fantasy, the theme of the 1964 Junior-Senior Prom, was carried out by the juniors in the colors of blue and white. A mural of mountains and snow and a bridge over a rock garden and pond were the main features. The little old winemaker served the punch while guests had their pic- tures taken, and danced to music by the Sky- liners. The big event of the evening was the crowning of Nancy Pinkelman as the first prom queen. The junior mothers prepared the smor- gasborg featuring turkey and ham. At 2 a.m. Sunday morning the mothers wound up the evening’s activities with a breakfast at the Metamora Fire Hall. Everyone excitedly waits for the moment when one lovely girl will take the seat of honor as queen. Guests take advantage of the wonderful music played by the Skyliners.
