But it seems only yesterday we wandered into the halls of OHS to take our respective places as Freshmen. Our Freshmen class, 39 in number, was the largest at that time. Since September 1948, our class has gained three and lost sixteen who have discontinued their high school education. The following have transfered to other schools: Donald Ray, Waneta Zwiebel, Julia Predieri, Judy Hoffman, and Frederick Raitch; Jane Harmon Joined us in the Sophmore year. We now have twenty seniors looking forward to graduation. The highlight of the Freshmen year was our initiation. The girls were dressed in long, black skirts and middy blouses, with alarm clocks tied around their necks, and they wore large boots. The boys wore ragged shirts, sneakers, long stockings, and work shoes. The seniors were kind enough to invite us back to school that night to endure some more prankish ideas. Afterwards they proved they were human by treating us to refreshments. Later, we elected our class officers: Pres., Bob Gorham; Vice-Pres., Alice Tucker; Sec., Jacque Brooks; Treas., Carole Keiser. Our advisor for the year was Mr. Van Scoy. Our class was deeply saddened to learn of the sudden and unex- pected death of our fellow classmate, Robert Rice. The year passed very rapidly and before we knew it we were full-fledged Sophomores. Class officers for the year were: Pres., Donajean Pettit; Vice-Pres. Mary Carey; Sec., Eloise Ebinger; Treas. Joanne Shoemaker. Mr. Hoag was advisor. To prove that we were really interested in our baseball team, several mem- bers of our class decided to skip school and go to Clyde to see Greenwich play in the District Tournament. As a result, we spent four periods in extra study halls— Detention” was not yet in effect. The Junior year started by electing our officers. Pres., Judy Hoffman; Vice-Pres., Julia Prederi; Sec. Alice Morrow; Treas., Carole Keiser. Our class advisor was Mr. Low. We selected our Junior class play Quiet Everybody which was successfully produced Nov. 11, 1949, with Mrs. Schantz and Mrs. Low as co- directors. After the play, we held our first party. The same week our class rings arrived, and they have proved to be one of our proudest possessions. This page sponsored by Carroll Haberdashery SENIOR HISTORY CONTINUED We decided to have a Christmas party Dec. 23, with Mr. and Mrs. low as guests. The evening was spent by dancing, playing games, and enjoying refresh- ments. Still In a party mood, we held a skating party at the reservoir In Feb- ruary. Even though It was very cold, everyone had fun In spite of their ups and downs. We enjoyed roasting hot dogs and then went to high school to p ., basketball. Soon after, we held a roller-skating party at the Mansfield Coli- seum with Rev. Kelser as chaperone. In order to make money for our prom which was in April, we held bake sales, sold refreshments, operated the candy booth, and held a musical program. Also, In our Junior year we established the school paper, THE BUZZER. The prom was held April 29, 1950, at the Richland Recreation Club. Approximately one hundred twenty Juniors, seniors, members of the faculty, and guests attend- ed. After enjoying a three course dinner, we danced to the music of the Millers Happy Jacks. To wind up events of the year, we held a picnic Friday, May 19. The Juniors, guests, and Mr. Low traveled to Mohican State Park. After enjoying a large selection of food, we Journeyed home to prepare for Commencement that evening. In September '50, for the last time we chose our class officers. Pres., Norman Ensor; Vlce-Pres., Donajean Pettit? Sec., Carole Kelser; Trees., Elolse Eblnger. Mr. Low was our advisor. To start the year off right, we Initiated the freshmen on Sept. 29. Following Initiation that evening, we served lunch, and danced to music by the Gee Notes. In October we had our pictures taken by Boles Dandurand Studios in Tiffin. That same evening the Juniors and seniors held a public dance. Everyone had fun and the profit was shared by the two classes. On December 17, the finished pictures arrived causing much excitement. Joanne Shoemaker entertained Juniors and seniors at a Halloween Masquerade at her home. After the masquerade, we played games end enjoyed refreshments. Later that same evening several of the boys went halloweening and as a result became the corn huskers of GHS. On December 23, exactly one year after our first Christmas party, another was held in the typing room which was decorated complete with mistletoe. Mr. and Mrs. Low were guests.

Contrary to custom, we are giving an operetta entitled, Kentucky Gardens, instead of the usual play. In this operetta every senior will have an opportunity to participate. As we approach the end of our high school career, we wish to express our gratitude to our parents, and our appreciation to the faculty. We hope the lower classmen will maintain a high standard of school spirit, good sportsman- ship, and a desire to make the most of their high school days. —DonaJean Pettit Class Flower—Burgundy Rose Class Colors—Light Blue and White Class Motto— Live not to live so long as to live well.

Lyle Barre left us after three weeks. Dixie Lynch, re- turned from New York State. We now number twenty-two. During our freshman year we courageously endured initiation by the seniors and conquered our fear of strange customs, classrooms, and so many .new teachers. We learned to take our own part and to participate in school activities. This year we have endeavored to live up to the standards we set for our- selves during our freshman year. Our members are active in all activities spon- sored by our school. Dick Moser was crowned King of the Magazine Sales. Kaye Hans, is a cheer leader. In sports we are very well represented. Six of our boys play on the basketball reserves, and two with the varsity. Three of them are ardent baseball players. The musical organizations have a fair represen- tation from our class.

In anticipation of the Junior play next year, we have presented two play- lets for assembly programs. While we enjoy being sophomores, we are looking forward to our Junior year with its greater responsibilities and opportunities. In preparation for the prom we are carefully guarding our bank account, and striving to increase our funds. We hsve had the refreshment concession at the Firemen’s Ball and at the Christmas holiday game. A bake sale also added to our funds, and we are now selling greeting cards and stationery. Several other projects and being planned for spring months. Socially, we have held our own very well.

The staff would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped to make Treasured Echoes of 1951 a success. This goes not only to those who have worked on the yearbook, but also to the merchants who sponsored pages and to the subscribers. To all who have helped in any way, the staff says, Thank Youl This page sponsored by Crum's Hardware Greenwich High School should be very prcud of lta many music organlzatatlma Nearly everyone In the school belongs to one. A great many of the students spend their spare time practicing for special programs. Probably the most Important and most active of these groups Is the GHS Band. It plays for basketball games and pep sessions, gives concerts, and plays for the public at any «■Dedal affairs. The Band meets three times a week In regular sessions, and more If necessary. Thirty members and six majorettes pre- sent quite a performance. Band Training begins In the Grade School, by way of a Junior Band. The more talented of these play with the High School Band. Another Instrumental group Is the GHS Orchestra. We are proud to announce that we have the only school orchestra In Huron County. They do not have many programs, but practice once each week. There are ten members In this group, which Include Grade School students. The main part of their work Is playing for the Junior and Senior plays. Probably the newest creation at GHS Is the Gee Notes . They purchase their own music and are glad to play for all school dances. Three Seniors and four Juniors comprise this group. The biggest choral group at GHS Is the mixed-chorus In which every class Is represented. They meet once a week and perform several times during the school year. The main performance Is the Christmas program. This year, the Hallelujah chorus from the Messiah was the feature of the program. We are one of the few schools in Huron County that has a chorus. Approximately forty members and two pianists are enrolled. Several members represent each class In the Girls Glee Club. They meet twice a week and sing In assembly programs. There are approximately thirty girls enrolled In addition to the pianist. Next In size come the Male Quartet, Mixed-Quartet, and Girls Trios. Three Senior boys and a Junior make up the Male Quartet. They have been requested to sing at very many occasions this year. The Mixed Quartet organized this year, was heard In the Christmas program. Three classes. Sophomores, Juniors, and This page sponsored by the Hoag Fruit Farm MUSICAL ACTIVITIES (Continued) Seniors have girls trios The Freshmen girls have a double trio Of course you realize these groups are all made possible by our director and the Community Music Club, which sponsors all musical activities. They also buy the music. They replenish their fund each year through Tag Day receipts. This is a very fine club, and their fine support is greatly appreciated. The Huron County Music Festival was held this year, for the first time in many years. An all-county chorus and an all-county band, composed of only the best musicians from each school, were the featured attractions. G.H.S. was well represented on each. Several practice sessions were held, and thus the members from the various schools became better acquainted. —Veloice Rhodes Drum Majorettes E. Walker, T. Fry, C. Reiser, J. Shoemaker, E.

On January 18, the F.H.A. group gave a potluck supper to the F.F.A. boys as a reward for winning the vanilla-selling contest. This proved to be a merry evening. We have another Mother-Daughter party planned for toy, 1951.

Two members of this group, Raymond Lyklns and Dean Beck, attended the state F.F.A. camp at Muskingum Valley. The F.F.A. are looking forward to participating in more events. Some of these are: a home radio program over the Sandusky station; a public speaking contest, and a state Judging contest. The chapter also hopes to be represented at the Huron County Fair and also the State Fair. This chapter of F.F.A. has had some social activities also. They gave a hayride for the F.H.A. girls and later in the year were given a party by the girls who lost in a vanilla-selling contest.

The opening game, at Savannah, proved to be a very exciting game. The final score: 6-0. The second game was probably the most interesting of the whole season, Y akeman scored one run in the second inning and another in the fourth to win 2-0. Our first home game with Monroeville restored the boys confidence in them- selves, because they won the game with a fairly close score of 4-2. Then cane the very exciting game with North Fairfield and the boys had another shut-out of 2-0. Savannah came to Greenwich to try to make up for the first loss of the season, but the boys held them down to one run and a loss of 3-1. In our last fall-season game we met New Haven on our own ball diamond and sent them home feeling very low about the 4-1 loss the boys handed them. The two boys who made it possible for the great teamwork and wonderful games our boys played this year are our pitchers, Joe Shafer and Dick Papsun.

This year found six of the first team returning. Bob Gorham, Kyle Keysor, Arnel Blair, Earl Griffin, and Roger June were seniors ready to see lots of action. Dick Papsun, a newcomer to the sport, and Jim Schantz were the only Juniors reporting for duty. The rest of the squad was made up of freshmen and sophomores. On November 17, the boys opened the season with Onion Rural and showed the fans that they could do It by whipping Richland County boys 65-49. Bob Gorham collected 27 points. The following week GHS tangled with Monroeville on the latter's oourt and received the first defeat, 48-41. Fouls hampered the team. The boys came home for a three-game stand. They started this series by beating a scrappy North Fairfield team In a closely-fought contest ending 59-51. The Savannah Sailors brought their smooth-passing, unbeaten outfit to GHS to receive their first loss at the hands of GHS. The fast break was our best weaj - on In the 67-52 victory. New Haven came to town for out second league game and came out on top 58-53 In a game that kept the fans on the edge of their seats throughout the contest. Greenwich tied the score In the last minute but could not quite make the grade. The boys hit the road once more to play at Wakeman. It was a rough and tvmble affair which found five GHS boys fouling out. The score was tied several times, but for the second game In a row GHS lost In the final seconds, 57-56. Milan cane to Greenwich next with a tough veteran outfit which had lost only one game. A 17-0 lead In the early minutes of the game gave the Green and White a 59-56 win. This was probably the most Impressive win of the year. Once more the fast break proved valuable to GHS. The next game was with Norwalk St. Paul on the 27th of December. The boys' Christmas dinners seemed to hold them down as they couldn't hit anything and went down In a 52-43 defeat. GHS started the new year right by racking up 84 points to trim North Fair- field 84-59 in their homecoming game which was held In our gym. Sullivan came here January 9, with a one-defeat record and expected to go home victorious, but Bob Gorham's 23 points and Red Keysor's 17 gave GHS another win of 59-40. Next Greenwich traveled to New Haven to receive the worst beating of the season, 97-51. Once again, fouls hurt the team badly as four boys fouled out. Townsend brought their weak ball club to GHS to receive a 72-40 whipping by our boys. It was getting close to Tourney time now and New Lonaon was Invading GHS. The fans built up tournament hopes as they saw Red Keysor dump a foul shot with one second to play, giving Greenwich a 56-55 win. It was the first time since 1936 that Greenwich had beaten a New London squad. A long lapse In the schedule found the boys taking on the Alxsnnl In the March of Dimes Benefit games. The older men gave the boys a run for their money In the first half,but the youth of the boys proved too much and GHS went on to' win, 61-45. Only one game remained on the card before the tournament. Sullivan came to Greenwich once more. They were hepped up for the game and stopped our fast break almost completely, but two last minute baskets by Captain Arnel Blair ga e us a 51-46 win. It was our luck to drew New London In the tournament for the second year In a row. The team traveled to Norwalk with hl i hopes and many followers but the team seemed to fold up early In the game and our tournament floated out the window as GHS want down In a very sad 58-32 defeat at the hands of New London. There remained a postponed game with Milan to be played. The game had been postponed from February 3, because of bad weather. Still saddened by the defeat of the tournament, OHS lost the final game of the year, 63-45.
