FACULTY There in his noisy mansion, skilled to rule, The village master taught his little school. Well had the boding tremblers learned to trace The day's disasters in his morning face,-Full well they laughed, with counterfeited glee, At all his jokes,- for many a joke had he,-Full well the busy whisper, circling round, Conveyed the dismal tidings when he frowned. Yet he was kind; or if severe in aught. The love he bore to learning was in fault. The Deserted Village Goldsmith PERSONALITIES Volume IX. TATTLER 1939 Page 9 SENIOR CABINET MEMBERS REVEALED AIM IN LIFE So many students when they dream of the future have somewhere in that dream a desire for fame. But we have seen some sacrifice their character for fame. We, the Senior Class, have as our motto, Work for character and not for fame! When we adopted this as our motto we selected the flower, sweet pea, and the colors, old rose and silver, to represent it. We, as the Senior Class, hope that each and every class, who in the future will be Seniors, will have as enjoyable a time as we have had. We wish to take this opportunity to thank every teacher for aiding us in our twelve years in school life. CLASS OFFICERS R. Hale J.

TATTLER 1939 Page 47 HISTORY OF SENIORS REVEALED In the fall of 1927 the seniors of the class of '39 began their school career in the former Roscoe Rice house. There were thirty-two beginners including Betty Acker, Winona Borton, Velma Backman, Margaret Clark, Robert D'Lamater, Betty Emerick, Ivan Ford, Margaret Garling, Norma Gors, Mary Griffin, Ned Griffin, Lowell Hibbard, Wanda Hippert, Fern Kiser, Gertrude Kelly, Gah-lon Kunkle, John Lafferty, Rosa Lafferty, Betty Maginn, Eleanor Morningstar, James Pruden, Glen Rice, Edith Schilt, Kenneth Schilt, Gene Treat, Anita Stewart, Keith Sebring, Irene Storrs, Winifred Towne, Martha Smith, Phyllis Reynolds and Ruth Wagoner. Before school started the following September we lost Winona Borton, Velma Backman, Ned Griffin, Lowell Hibbard, John Lafferty, Rosa Lafferty, Glen Rice, Edith Schilt, Kenneth Schilt, Anita Stewart, Irene Storrs, Winifred Town, and Martha Smith. The last half of the year the school children were transported to school in two busses. At the beginning of the second year Mildred Braw-ley, Robert Hale, Harry Sillows, Viola Sillows, Richard Walden, Ruby Tule, and Jean Tule joined our ranks. There were twenty-six boys and girls, and we were moved over to the school grounds in one of the small white schoolhouses. The new building from which we now graduate was then under construction. We Seniors remember the difficulties Miss Ada Spring had in getting us ready for the dedication exercises, as there was an epidemic of measles and chickenpox which we had in relays. What a thrill we had inspecting the new building! We entered the third grade with a new teacher, Miss Thelma Lee, and this year there were thirty-four pupils. Charles Barnhart. Virge Hochstcttler, Arthur Munson, Robert Ort, Oscar Rievere, John Russell, Robert and Alfred Gray entered. Charles Barnhart, Arthur Munson, John Russell, Robert and Alfred Gray and Harry Sillows withdrew during the year and in the fourth grade we welcomed Bernard Fether and Helen Sevrence which gave us a total of thirty pupils. During the fourth year we had our first music classes. We were sorry to lose Richard Walden and Gertrude Kelly at the end of the year. Juanita Schaffner, Violet Glime, Catherine Miller, and Laurine Walling entered in the fifth grade. Miss Leita Fought was our teacher this year. The next year, our last one in the grades, found thirty of us in school as Catherine Miller and Viola Sillows had withdrawn. During that year we lost Rbbcrt Ort and Fern Kiser. At the end of the year we hacf some very fine graduation exercises under the direction of our instructor, Miss Lola Gleason. The twenty-nine seventh graders considered themselves quite sophisticated when they entered Junior High School in September, 1933. Maurice Vanderburg entered the seventh grade and Margaret Ellen Garling, Violet Glime, and Laurine Walling withdrew at the end of the year. Some of the members of the orchestra were entered in the national contest. For the seventh and eighth grades, Miss Erna Hinkel was our sponsor. In our eighth grade year she became ill and we had two substitute teachers, Miss Sturdevan and Miss Kemist. Wilma Decker entered in the eighth grade. At the latter part of our eighth grade year, some of the members of the band and orchestra had the pleasure of attending the music contest at North Baltimore and Columbus. The privilege was again repeated in the freshman year. At last! Our Freshman year came. Jean and Ruby Tule did not come back in September, 1935. Twenty-two new students entered from country schools including Carmon Borton, Leland Brehm, Aileen Carpenter, Virginia Double, Gerald Dunn, Albert Disbro, Blanche Cut-shaw, Kathryn Fulmer, Willard Milliman, Basil Seigneur, Walter Spangler, Jack Kelly, Margaret Williams, Lois Ziegler, Thelma Disbro, Helen Miller, Mary Ellen Miller, Helen Newell, Velma Nickerson, Ruth Sprague, Rozella Ziegler, and Isabell Yonke. This made our total forty-seven. Miss Gamber was elected as our sponsor, with the following class officers: Robert Hale, Velma Nickerson, Robert D'Lamater and Helen Miller. That year Eleanor Morningstar, James Pruden, Margaret Williams and Isabell Yonke withdrew. Our Sophomore year we kept working and trying to make the best of our opportunities. Our number dropped to forty, as we lost Oscar Rievere, Wilma Decker, Maurice Vanderburgh, Norma Gors, and Bernard Fether during the year. Mr. Reed was elected our sponsor with Willard Milliman, Juanita Schaffner, Virginia Double and Mildred Brawley as class officers. Our Junior year came quickly with thirty-seven juniors. We selected Mr. Valentine as our sponsor and as his helpers, Robert Hale, Robert D'Lamater, Mildred Brawley, and Pauline Crouse. Thelma and Albert Disbro withdrew during our Junior year. The first event of the year, our Junior play, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, was produced very creditably under the direction of Miss Mary Margaret Grable. The second event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet, was a great success. Some of the dignitaries present were Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Juniors were ably assisted in preparing the banquet by their mothers and Mrs. Valentine. This last September thirty-three of our classmates assembled for a fourth and last time. During the year Willard Milliman and Basil Seigneur withdrew leaving only thirty-one members. This year Mr. Rich is our sponsor with Robert Hale, Juanita Schaffner, Mildred Brawley, and Robert D'Lamater as class officers. We. as a class, are not superstitious because all through the twelve years of continuous work we are proud to name the thirteen members who have been very faithful: Betty Acker, Margaret Clark, Robert D'Lamater, Betty Emerick, Ivan Ford, Mary Griffin, Wanda Hippert, Gahlon Kunkle, Betty Maginn, Gene Treat, Keith Sebring, Phyllis Reynolds and Ruth Wagoner. We, as a Senior class, wish to take this opportunity to thank the Faculty for all the help they have so willingly given through our twelve years of school life. We feel confident that our time has been well spent. To the under classmen we wish the best of luck, success through their school life, and as many good times as we have had and enjoyed. Mary M. Griffin, Virge Hochstettler Page 48 TATTLER 1939 Volume IX. MENTAL WIZARDS PROPHESY FUTURE Four of us girls of the 1939 graduating class, having previously decided to spend our vacation together, met at the Fayette Hotel to outline our course for this trip. First, we started making the rounds of the seniors in and around Fayette. As we came out of the hotel, we met one of our former classmates, Gahlon Kunkle, who informed us that he had taken the place of Mr. Gallaway and was teaching Smith-Hughes Agriculture in F. H. S. As we were talking, Gahlon told us that he had just seen Carmon Borton and Janice. It seemed that Carmon was a very successful farmer, due to F. F. A. As it was such a nice day, we all hopped in the car and drove northwest of town. Going by Townes Dairy, who should we see but Betty Emerick. We immediately stopped the car. Betty came over as surprised to see us as we were to see her. She told us that Harley and she were going out to see Kathryn Fulmer and Ruth Sprague. Betty said that Kathryn was still taking care of her sick aunt and upon inquiries about Ruth, we learned she was a private secretary in J. L. Hudson's in Detroit. We bid adieu and, as it was nearing noon, drove back into town, where we called on Wanda Hippert As you would have probably guessed her weakness was still Bacon! As we were recalling our classmates, Wanda laughingly remarked, Helen now, Helen forever, Sevrence now is changed to Hochstetler. But that didn't surprise us as much as to learn that Juanita Schaffner was the pastor of a church. As Helen was a Hochstetler, we asked about Virge, who had exchanged her trombone for a husOand in Pet-tisville. As we were chatting, Wanda clicked on the short wave station and whose voice should we hear but the distinguished contralto, Phyllis Stoltz, singing from the St. John Episcopal Church, in London. After lunch, Margaret mentioned going to Devil's Lake and taking the route through Waldron. Stopping for the red light, we glanced across the street and saw the sign, If you want it done right, see Carpenter Dunn Recalling Gerald, we crossed off his name as having been located. We went on to Devil's Lake, and as it was warm and sultry, we agreed to go swimming. We drove around the lake and were amazed to see an artificial island. Upon fn-vestigation we learned that it was Frankie Island, owned by the famous beach clothes designer, Betty Ann Acker. As we conversed with Betty, she informed us that Phyllis Reynolds and her husband, Bill, were spending their vacation at the Reynolds cottage and that they were residing in Dayton, Ohio, where Bill was the president of the Cash Register Company. Driving home through Morenci, we called on Ruth Wagoner. We learned that Ruth's husband, Dick, was in the grocery business and that she accompanied him occasionaliy on his route. We were glad to know that Virginia Double and Leo were living in Lyons. After a full day we returned home for a good night's rest as we were to leave for New York in the morning. We said cheerio to our parents and started on our way. After two days we arrived at our destination. First, we went to the NBC. broadcasting station and who greeted us but Blanche Cutshaw who was taking the place of Kate Smith— thanks to television! Blanche told us that Pauline Crouse was the first woman announcer of N. B C. As we headed for the elevator, we glanced at the bulletin and read the following: Presenting, Ivan Ford, typical Joe Penner, who will broadcast from 7:00 to 7:30 P. M. We came to the conclusion that he must have improved his laugh since '39. Glancing further down the list we read that Mary Griffin, first chair flutist in the All American Girls Symphony Orchestra, was to Play at Carnegie Hall at 8:00 P. M. As much as we wished to see her we had already purchased our tickets for the prize fight. At 9:30 we found ourselves at Madison Square Garden ready for the scheduled fight. We were surprised to hear the announcer as he said: In this corner, we present, Robert Hale, 'the Slugger,' world's heavy weight champion! As the announcer continued, someone tapped us on the shoulder. We turned around and there was Velma Nickerson. She explained that she and Bob were married and living in New York. Just then a messenger boy came to Velma and handed her a telegram which she opened and read. Turning to us she said that Helen Miller had just been married to Merle Ginger. After the fight we talked with Bob and, as it was getting late, we came back to our hotel. We slept late the next morning and we all agreed to go to the matinee as we were tired of sight seeing Find'ng comfortable seats in the theater we proceeeded to watch the movie. As the main feature had already started, we certainly were surprised to see Clifton Overman playing the role of number one gangster of the movie world! When the main feature was over, another surprise greeted us as Jack Kelly gave the high lights in tne world of sports. As it was summer, the review was baseball. Whom should we see but Keith Sebring, the baseball idol of millions! Next came a travel talk featuring Mary Eilen Miller, one of the outstanding missionaries of the Dutch East Indies. Going back to our hotel, we bought an evening paper and on the front page appeared a picture of Robert D'Lamater, who had been chosen the All American Basketball Star and also had been qjoted as a promising Hank Lusetti. We retired early as we were to depart for our homes the next morning. As dawn appeared, we checked out from the hotel and started on our journey homeward. We arrived in Cleveland and drove directly to the home of the former Margaret Clark, who was married to a chemical engineer and she told us that her nursing ability came in handy! We three left Margaret, none too happily, after a grand vacation together. We motored to Fayette to leave Betty Ma-ginn, who had been touring the country as first trumpeter of an All American Girls Swing Band, with her impressive dream house in Bryan! The next stop was Gene Treat's, who was teaching school in Toledo until her fiance finished his medical course. Mildred Brawley decided to go alone to Detroit as she was married to Reed, who had been promoted to President of the General Motors Plant. Thus our journey ends. We fold our map and close the future for ten years, and wish for the fulfillment of this prophecy of the Class of 1939! Gene Treat Mildred Brawley Betty Maginn Margaret Clark Volume IX.
