The stadium has a seating capacity of 1,00.0, dressing facilities for local and visiting teams, and public rest rooms. The bus garage is now being used, and the stadium will be put into use starting with the 1949 football season. Through the efforts of the Alurnni Association, an additional fund was raised to provide lighting facilities for the athletic field and a fence to enclose this field. 3 4 GRACE MYERS First Grade ROSE SCHULTZ First and Second Grade MATTIE HECKMAN MABEL ROZINE Third Grade Fourth Grade HELEN MERCER ALVINA KONTAK Sixth Grade English 4 MILDRED ARNOLD Second Grade GARNE T WEBER Fifth Grade DORA E.

The girls came in pigtails and the boys in knickers. We were a class known to be very noisy. The first four years were spent in getting the fundamental things of school life. We spent the next two years wondering if we would ever be able to keep up with the assignments given us. The two years in Junior High seemed like the first six years put together. Then came the day to go to Oak Harbor for Eighth Grade Commencement. Here we are--Freshmen. It wasn't what we had expected it to be. The boys were initiated by having their shirts, shoes, and belts taken away and thrown into trees and elsewhere. In our Sophomore year we had a skating party to raise money. Then came our Junior year, in which we have our play, We Shook the Family Tree, under the direction of Mrs. Coleman. The money raised from the play and from our Junior skating party was used to pay for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet on May 8. The girls were initiated by the Senior Versatile girls at a banquet which the Alumnae members attended. Here we are, finally, in the class we have dreamed of for twelve years, the Senior class. We had our Senior pictures taken in October at Livingston Studios. We were honored at the Junior-Senior Banquet, May 14, by the Juniors. We are proud of those who worked on the Purple 'n' Gold and Helm, our football boys, and our honor stu- dents. We close our school life with the memorable Senior Day, Baccalaureate Service, and Commencement. Thus we leave H.E.H.S., hoping that the Seniors next year will' leave with as many pleasant memories as we have. Cfarid We, the class of nineteen-hundred and forty-nine, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make this document public and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills made hereto- fore: LOLA LOWRY wills her quiet, dignified manner to BOB SONDERGELD.

UNDERSIGNED: Class of 1949 Donald Chasteen, President 7 A ------ ak LLL-, mm.. ,m we Saidrh CFQIOLOOL I Lszafire It is now the year 1969. Sailor Harry Elmo is gazing through his scrapbook of notable people of the past few years. Among them he finds many members of the class of '49. He decided to come back to their Alma Mater and find out what they are doing. He is very much amazed to find that Donald Chasteen is now mayor of Elmore, which has developed into a thriving town of industries. To top the manufacturing leaders is Richard Gahn, who is now president and owner of the Elmore Basket Factory, which has now taken on a sideline business of making toothpicks. It seems that competition between Mary Dolph, who has taken over her father's oil and gas company, and Raymond Henderlich, who had become sole heir to Redman's Service Station, has been dissolved by the forming of the Elmore-Speedy-Service-Station. Harry Elmo is startled by the sound of a siren. Looking toward the street the first thing he sees is a taxi belonging to Marvin Barkhau, who is being chased by the city police car, with Leon Rader at the wheel. These two have seen much of each other since Marvin got his job of driving a taxi and Leon became Chief of Police. Leon also holds the pinochle championship down at Jake's Pool Hall. ln recent years, Bruce Kontak has seen an advancement in position with the Elmore Hardware. He rose from head stock boy to vice-president. It is rumored that his smile completely won over the president and got him the job. The last men in town to let anyone down are Earl Nissen and Carol Laubacher, Who have established a national reputation as undertakers. As yet they have not had one unsatisfied customer come back. They say, If you feel as if you have one foot in the grave, come and see us, and we'll help you place the other one. A crowd of people seems to be gathering on the street corner. As Harry moves in closer, he sees Junior Klingbiel standing on a soap box giving a lecture on Atomic Power Control. This is a subject about which he learned much in school, and he is now running for the office of senator. The town is also alive with the news of the result of a basketball game at the high school. It was between the local Bulldogs and the Bowling Green State University Falcons. Elmore came out on top with a score of 114-ZZ. It was all due to the efficient management of the team by Coach Donald Egert, who hasn'tlost a game in his past five years of coaching experience. The world was recently astonished by the invention of an atomic light bulb. The inventor was none other than an intellectual product in the form of Ray Willey. He has been experimenting for many years and has finally reached his ultimate goal. Harry Elmo buys a newspaper and sees in the headline that an Elmore girl has broken a speed record at the Indianapolis Speedway. It is Lola Lowry, who has been driving since her high school days. She has one motto, and that is, Stay off the rocks! Willard Eversole and Rose Mary Ling are now happily married and have settled down to raise a family. They are living on a large dairy farm outside Elmore and have combined their'talents to establish one of the most noted farms in the state. A new church, which has a seating capacity of over 3000, has been erected in Elmore. As Harry Elmo passes it, a wedding is taking place. The preacher, the Reverend Kenneth Hasselkus, is tying the knot in a very ceremonious style. The couple have serious looks on their faces. As the bride, Betty Weidner, says, I do, the glances of the congregation turn to the groom. No one knows who he is, but it is rumored that he is a multi-millionaire oil company owner from Texas. The question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, is still unanswered. Donald Hetrick has been working on it recently in his own chicken hatchery, He thought he had the answer one day when he saw two chicks hatch from one egg. But he found it was just a case of twin hens. The largest restaurant in town is owned by Anna Recny. Through her past experiences in highschool home economics, whe has received recognition as being able to cook anything. She says, Come in and find out my food isn't crummy, and I'll cook anything to suit your tummy. A strange incident happened during the building of a house in Elmore. The contractor, Richard Witt, first drew the plans for the basement and then made it. A miscalculation was made in the house plans, and when the workers started to build, the house would not fit the basement because it was too small. But Richard has one great accomplishment to his credit--the building of a 70-story office building in downtown Elmore. Lois Jean Haar is now operating a reducing salon along with her beauty shop. She advertises, If you are forty or over and are getting inflation in the wrong places, come in and let me give you a workout. An institution of higher learning has been founded in Elmore. It is called Hessville University in honor of the biggest suburb of Elmore. As Harry Elmo enters the doors of H.U. he is met by the president, Evelyn Richardson. She has just expelled a student for blowing the roof off the laboratory with one of his own con- coctions in chemistry class. The only casualty was that of the teacher, Miss Martha Dibert. She was standing too close when the explosion occurred and had a perfect set of eyebrows singed off. As dusk settles over the peaceful town, it begins to come alive and light up with neon signs, flashing ad- vertisements. Down at the theater Betty Crozier is playing the part of Priscilla Snodgrass opposite Pyrone Tower as Drag-a-Long Chasdidty in Double Trouble' or 'Who Shot Poor Old Grandma. She reaches star- dom by being able to sing hillbilly ballads and with her ability on the jew's harp. The biggest sign over the town is flashing out Hot Rod Alley. On closer observation, Harry Elmo finds that it is a used car lot. He goes into the office to see who owns it, but as he opens the door, he is met by a cloud of cigar smoke and cannot make out who is sitting behind the desk. As the smoke subsides, he sees Tom Schemmer with his feet cocked up on the desk. Tom is known as the highest pressure salesman in town and was just getting up steam to make another sale. As Harry Elmo leaves the town he is quite assured the world was gifted in receiving so successful a class as the 'Class of '49. 8 eniom CLASS MOTTO: Today we follow: tomorrow we lead.

This year we enjoyed learning new games in the gym during our morning recesses. At noon each Friday the boys have played basketball against the fifth grade boys. As our part of the grade Christmas program we enjoyed'giving a play, Our Borrowed Christmas. Our Christmas and Valentine parties were happy times, and all year we have looked forward to our trip to the Art Museum. FIFTH GRADE ' The fifth grade started the school year with an enrollment of twelve girls and twenty- six boys. Class officers for the year were: President, Jeannene Willett, Secretary, Karl Flick: Treasurer, Betty .Tean Kaiser. Our favorite subject was social studies, for we visited the entire Western Hemisphere while on an imaginary trip. The thought of fractions frightened us, but we soon learned that they are not too difficult. Many of us thought the best days of the year were the days of our Christmas and Valentine parties. FOURTH GRADE We had an enrollment of twenty-two girls and fifteen boys. We tried very hard to make this a successful year, most of us did very good work. A nice Christmas Party, Valentine Party, and many other programs gave us much en- enjoyment. In our geography, we took many imaginary trips to other countries, and we enjoyed these trips very much, but we were always glad to get back to Ohio. THIRD GRADE The third grade has had an enrollment of forty pupils all year. Several members of the class treated the class with candy or gum on their birthdays. They exchanged gifts at their Christmas party, and had a Valentine box. They appreciated the musical programs and the invitations to the auditorium, given by the Student Council. SECOND GRADE We have fifteen boys and fourteen girls in our room. A We were kept busy learning all the addition and subtraction combinations. The children enjoyed reading very much. This interest was shown by the number of children reading books from the library, and the weekly reader, as well as all supplementary material available. ' During the year we observed the seasonal holidays. At Christmas we had an exchange of gifts. On Valentine's Day we had a party, at which time hundreds of valentines were passed out. We made a weather chart for March. The children were happy to report signs of spring which they noticed on their way to school. Of course the children enjoyed the school activities at the close of the term. FIRST AND SECOND GRADE Our room was a combination of first and second grades, with twenty-four pupils enrolled. The pupils of the two grades worked nicely together, combining many activities such as language games, dramatizations, and music. Each season brought its special activities. At Thanksgiving time we made illustrations of Indian life and the first Thanksgiving. We enjoyed dramatizing The Turkey's Nest. We made many Christmas decorations for ,our room and had a gift exchange. Santa helped to make our party very enjoyable. We made 'beautiful valentines. Our pretty box had more than 650. In the spring we enjoyed a 'picnic with the other first grade. FIRST GRADE In September, thirty-seven little and big little people ranging in height from forty to fifty-nine inches were enrolled in the first grade room. We made the acquaintance of Dick, Jane, and Sally in our readers and enjoyed stories about them throughout the year. Songs, games, stories, and art work were woven around the changing seasons and the festival days. For our Christmas tree we made stars and angels. We enjoyed our gift exchange. Our decorated Valentine box held 1,450 valentines. We visited the NewYork Central Railroad Depot where Billy's father is the ticket agent and telegraph operator. The year ended with a picnic in the park. 29 f QPCLJQ APC! lay h ROW l: Annette Ruckman, Bill Shaffer, Joan Summers, Karl Flick, Delphine Overmyer.

The duties of the librarians are to take charge of all books being signed out, check in books, keep students in the library quiet, help students find books, keep magazine stand in order, and put books away in alphabetical order. , , Fiction, nonfiction, and reference books have been added to the' library this year. 38 , JUJM 75555 2 NIU 5 I Q ramaficfn jedfiuaf ROW ONE: Rachel Ann Yeasting, Grace Hellwig, Betty Weidner, Bruce Kohtak, Mary Dolph, Donald Egert, Lois Jean I-Iaar, Willard Eversole, Betty Crozier, Barbara Ohl.
