i I = •i’ K 11 K .1 a « 1| Ni m 1 1 WE CARRY THE H” FLAG, TOO THIS FLAG IS FOR HICKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL AND ALSO FOR THE TWENTY-EIGHTH EDITION OF OUR YEARBOOK FEATURING THE RECORD OF OUR 1942-43 SCHOOL YEAR . . . HIXONIAN Page 3 R FIVE E ' s DOMINATED OUR YEA R Effort to win the war, endeavor in classrooms, energy in classes, excitement in athletics and enthusiasm in activities— all of these played a large part in our school year. But with these we also had some exhilarating hours—that time when we put away our books and pencils and paper, to enjoy the lighter moments of life. In this edition of the HIXONIAN, we are pic¬ turing our activities animated by these E ' s. N Page 4 Their contribution to the war ef¬ fort is the building of model air¬ planes: Max Grover, Paul Jones, Max Ginther, Gene Neidhardt, Steve Sa¬ bo, Richard Silvers, Dallas Brown and Fred Plum. Mindred Schaufelberger, Neal Kel¬ ler, and Marcile Cottrell are drilling to sharpen their wits in the all-im¬ portant field of mathematics. ■ - III mi mm m m m m m Mimeographing the SPOON- DRIFT is the task before Editors Baneta Yarger and Francis Smith and Jeannette hiarkey and John Keller. Hicksvllle and Paulding are battling for grid honors. Pag boring Beerbower, Ger¬ ald Laub, Su2anne Malott and Junior Bauer are in¬ terested in a, physics ex¬ periment. I I FOR OUR WAR EFFORT As other schools worked toward the war effort, so ours followed, perhaps on a more limited scale—but nevertheless, earnestly. A class In preflight training was introduced, and programs of the commercial, mathematics, industrial arts, science, physical education, and agriculture classes were broad¬ ened to meet the needs of a country in war. Scrap drives, war bond sales, donations tor Christmas gifts and kit bags for soldiers all were a part of the regular routine of the school. Second year stenographers at work. Page In industrial arts these boys are studying specialized fields to prepare them for work in a war-torn world. On the stool is Kenneth Whitehurst and his fellow students are Norman Miller, Nor¬ man Sholl, Daniel Crowl, Anthony Hau- ter, Fred Billman, Eldwin Waltenberger. Studying to be Future Farmers are Faul Silvers, Galen Green, Richard Shull (first table), Loring Beerbower, William Shull (second table), James Timbrook, Duane, Rohrs, Clair Scott (third table). Paul Jones (rear) looks on as Dallas Brown purchases a war bond from Fred Malott, who is receiving the money, and Billy Kuhl, who is helping with the rec¬ ords. ■■ C -A N To those Hicksville men in the Armed Forces who are fighting that they might have a free world in which to live, the Class of ' 43 dedicates the 1943 HIXONIAN. Especially do they wish to honor the four faculty members, Ensign Joe Riddle, Lt. Gerald Sapp, Lt. Robert Wayland, and Radio Technician second class Hugh Austermiller, who left their teaching positions that they might help secure a peaceful world. To all these men, the Class of ’43 expresses a sin¬ cere appreciation for their help on the battlefields and in the training camps the world over. Word of the death of Ensign Riddle, who was piloting a dive bomber in the South Pacific, grieved the hearts of all those who knew him. But their grief is lessened as they recall that Joe was doing cheer¬ fully, without complaint, what he knew was his duty. ALUMNI IN ARMED FORCES Richard Neihardt, Army Jack P.

Such classroom instruc¬ tion, very much individualized, is prevalent in Hicksville High School. AIDING IN OUR Superintendent R. C. FOX Mathematics B.S. in Ed., Muskingum College, 1929; M.A., Ohio State Univer¬ sity, 1938. Ever ready to give his help to both pupil and teacher is Mr. R. C. Fox, superintendent of schools. Mr. Fox, with the aid of his teaching staff, has made many changes in regular routine during the past year. These changes were in line with those of other schools, prompted to help a people at war. Scenes such as those pictured were typical of any school day in any classroom. The photographer rather than studies claimed the attention of this study hall group. Junior officers, Jeannette Harkey, Janis Hurni, and Lowell Metz, are conferring with their advisers, Mr. Paul Hydell and Miss Jane Tyner (sitting). ENDEAVORS Busily working at a shorthand lesson are Nona Countryman, Marcella Pan- ico, Marcile Cottrell (at the board), Virginia Moore and Rosemary Scott. Watching Miss Geraldine Toops go through the sophomore by-laws are the officers, Fred Billman, Maxine Yarger, Lois Smith, Daniel Cr owl, Mr. Harold Wallace (adviser), and Paul Dietz. An aviation experiment is engaging the attention of Leo Headley, Helen Os- mun, Jack Staup and Maude Cook. Studying agriculture is the work of Arnold Worden, Paul Dietz, Kenneth Kimpel, Richard Roberts, Elmer Briskey and Jack Gloor. Sewing in home economics class is an interesting project for Ruth Hathaway, Bette Wells (standing), Eleanor Hetz, Gertrude Smith and Freda Peter. Miss Esther Howenstine is supervising the work. THEY PATIENTLY Planning for a debate are Thelma Gro¬ ver (sitting), Joe Hetz, Paul Sholl, Freda Peter and Paul Silvers. R. W.

Hicksville High, by providing a student council, this year joined the ranks of the millions who try to create understanding and leadership in the schools. The constitution of the governing body was written for the purpose of stimulating school spirit, upholding the laws and regulations of our school, and establishing a closer relationship between the faculty and the student body. The membership is made up of the entire student body with representatives from each class and a faculty adviser. After the first year, election of officers will be held the last week of the first semester, the senior representatives becoming honorary members the last half of the year. In order to hold a major office the student must have a grade average of C+ or better. The officers are a president from the junior class, a vice president from the sophomore class, and a secretary from the freshman class. Regular meetings are held every two weeks. A law or regulation may be vetoed by the sponsor and the president of the council. Several standing committees will include: assembly, journalism, calendar, intra¬ murals, cheerleader, welcoming, stage-hand, and minute-men. These committees work in cooperation with the faculty members in charge of various activities, lending as¬ sistance whenever possible. Officers helping organize the first council included: Neal Keller, president; Maxine Yarger, vice president; Margaret Panasuk, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. R. C. Fox, faculty adviser. Compliments of Glen Hootman Son and Murphy’s Jewelry Page 32 Musically Minded . . Mr. Frank Kunkle, Hicksville ' s music teacher, is a very busy man. He spends much of his time working with the band, drum and bugle corps, twirlers and a cappella choir. As though this were not enoug h, he is also busily engaged in training the grade children to sing in tune. A junior high chorus and several instrumental groups are additional groups needing guidance. Somehow, he gets all the organizations ' prac¬ tices in his week ' s schedule—and they are well trained groups. Best Wishes from Nash Coal Lumber Co. and Mentzer’s 5 10 Cent Store Page 33 Marching Along . . . Mr. Frank Kunkle is the able director of the high school band, now composed of forty-two members. During the school year the band performed at one home football game, nearly all the home basketball games, a political rally, and a naval recruiting pro¬ gram. Playing at the Firemen ' s convention, at Delphos, and the Defiance County fair were the band ' s summer activities. Because of lack of transportation the band made no out-of-town appearances during the school year. Service songs, such as The Marine Hymn, Army Air Corps, and The Caisson Song, were their out¬ standing marches. Two concert numbers, Merry Maiden Overture and Persian Market, were also favorites during practices.

VcksV Of Thee I Sing . . . The chorus is composed of fhirty-eight members, under the direction of Mr. Frank Kunkle. Although it is a fine chorus, they won no contests this year as in previous years. Lack of transportation kept them from entering the district and state contests as in former years. The group gave an excellent Christmas program consisting of Christmas carols and other appropriate songs. In this program they were assisted by the junior high chorus and an instrumental sextet. Recently they have been practicing two important numbers, Bless the Lord O My Soul, by Ivanoer, and A Long Day Closes, by Sullivan.

The drum corps is composed of six girls: Lois Aten, Virginia Harter, Jeanne Lehman, Ruth Lantz, Florence Cole, and Barbara Koch, who along with the band and twirling corps perform¬ ed at the Defiance County fair. They also played at the Firemen ' s convention, a home football game, and several home basketball games. Peggy Roan, drum majorette, is their leader. Compliments of H. W.

Nadine Johnston, Patsy Seibert, Joan Mettert, Genevieve Fry, Roselene Wonderly, Gloria John¬ ston, Nancy Miller, Harriet Gerig and Eudora Reitz. They have appeared with the band at the Defiance County fair, Firemen ' s convention, a home football game, and at several basketball games. The twirlers add much color to the band and drum corps.

The 1943 HIXONIAN, just published by the Senior Class, has given them much pleasure in the months they have spent working together. It is the desire and hope of the entire staff and all its associate members of the Class of ' 43, that the readers will gain as much pleasure from the contents as did those who worked so diligently to publish it. Members of the journalism class made up the staff, made the important decisions, and did the work on the book.

Sponsored by Huber Theater and Goodwin Hi-Speed Page 46 He’s Our Coach... Mr. Harold Wallace, Hicksville mentor tor the past two years, has had teams with enviable rec¬ ords. While the basketball teams have won more honors, the football team has by no means dis¬ graced the school. The Aces did very well in the district tourna¬ ment, as well as throughout the season. Mr. Wallace will be greatly missed when Uncle Sam claims him. Page 47 How They Can Play By Bill Sauders Hicksvilie High School ' s gridders had a seven-game schedule this season. They won two and lost the remaining five. The season was opened September 22 when they defeated Montpelier, 6-0. Beardsley did the scoring from the seven-yard line after hulmer had made a 35-yard run to bring the ball into position. Rockford journeyed to Hicksville, September 25, to hand the Aces a 25-12 defeat. Gardner scored on an intercepted pass. Later, Fulmer ran for a second touchdown. Hicksville ' s journey to Garretf, October 2, was in vain—the Railroaders defeating the Aces 6-0. Garrett recovered a fumble and Saspa ran for a touchdown on the second play. A very muddy field accounted for a lot of fumbles. Auburn defeated Hicksville, October 9, when they were hosts to the Aces, 34-0. Hicksville held Auburn scoreless the first quarter, but Auburn scored in the last three. One of Auburn ' s touchdowns was contributed by Stebing, right half, when he made a fifty-six yard run. The remaining points were made by Honess, Rothhaar, and Butler of Auburn. Payne came to Hicksville, October 16, to bow in defeat, 20-0. Beardsley, Metz, and Gardner contributed Hicksville ' s points. Gardner and Staup were injured in the game and were unable to play the rest of the season. Hicksville bowed to Liberty Center here on October 23, 12-0. P. Kerns and C. Kerns, Liberty Center backs, did the scoring. Paulding handed Hicksville its worst defeat, October 30, when the gridders visited their rivals. Paulding piled up 48 points. Bob Lucas, Paulding ' s negro back, contributed 47 of Paulding ' s 48 points.

THE SEASON ' S COMPETITION... By Bill Sauders Football was finally over and Coach Wallace called the first basketball practice. There was a big turn-out for first practice and the squad was chosen after they practiced hard for three weeks. The season opened by defeating Antwerp here November 27, 36 to 23. Bauers and Fetzer paced the Aces, scoring nine points each. Cottrell, Antwerp center, led the contenders with ten points. Oakwood was Hicksville ' s next victim. They bowed to Hicksville by a score of 48-30 here on December I. The score was only 20 to 17 at the half, but Hicks¬ ville walked away with them the last half. Bauers chalk¬ ed up twenty points to pace the Aces, while Harris, Oakwood forward, tallied seventeen points. Hicksville ' s next victim was Montpelier, who played here on December 4. A rough game was played with the Aces winning 35 to 26. Football tactics were used on the basketball court in this contest. Fetzer con¬ tributed seven goals and five gifters for a total of fourteen points to lead the Aces ' scoring. The Red and White won an easy victory on Decem¬ ber 15 here when they walked away with Sherwood: the final score, 61 to 20. Hicksville led at the end of the first quarter 15 to I. The Aces just couldn ' t be stopped and Bauers tallied 22 points to pace their attack. The Aces went to Mark Center for their first out-of- town game on January 5. Again they proved to be superior, defeating Mark 49 to 32. Bauers was high point man, scoring twenty-one points. Sabo and Hart of Mark were high for the defeated team by tallying I I points each. Hicksville entertained Paulding on January 8, who suffered defeat to the tune of 39 to 23. Metz paced the Aces with thirteen points. Hetz and Fetzer both were absent from the line-up. January 12 proved to be a fatal day for the Aces when they suffered their first defeat by bowing to Ney 33 - 30. Had both Beardsley and Fetzer, who were suf¬ fering with mumps, been present, this game might have been a victory. Hetz paced the Aces ' attack with thir¬ teen, and Crites, Ney ' s forward, scored twelve points. Hicksville suffered its second defeat by a 42 to 38 count. DeLong, Harlan ' s star forward, led the visitors ' attack with seventeen points and Bauers tallied thir¬ teen for Hicksville. Harlan led only one point at the end of the first quarter but maintained a four point margin until the finish. Hicksville journeyed to Edon on January 22 to de¬ feat the Edon cagers 39 to 22. Hicksville had stopped their two-game losing streak. Metz led the Aces’ at¬ tack this game with thirteen points, and Zulch, Edon ' s center, paced the defeated team with ten points. Hicksville snapped another victory by defeating St. Joe there on January 23 by a score of 42 to 25. Having a hard game with Edon the night before, the Aces proved to be in good form. Hetz went for high honors with fifteen points and Fetters, St. Joe center, slammed in 12 points to lead the losers ' scoring. Hicksville then journeyed to Edgerton to clip them 26 to 16 on January 29. Neither team was hitting and a low score resulted. Bauers scored I I points. Hicksville came back home to defeat Mark Center on February 2. In the return game the Aces defeated them 44 to 15. Hetz paced the Red and White attack with 13 points. Mark ' s highest scorer made only four points. Sherwood suffered its second defeat at the hands of Hicksville February 9 at Sherwood. The game was another easy victory for the Aces, who piled up a 25 point margin. Beardsley was chief scorer with ten field goals and three gifters for a total of 23 points. Sito, Sherwood guard, paced the loser ' s attack with 16 points. Hicksville again proved to be slightly superior by defeating Farmer February 12 by a narrow margin, 42-38. Farmer took the lead and kept it during the first quarter but the Aces snatched it in the second quarter and never again lost their pace. Fritz was high for Farmer with seventeen points to his credit while Bauers looped 13 points for Hicksville. Bryan suffered defeat when the Aces scored 41 points to their 28 points on February 16. Bryan was unable to keep pace with the Red and White, and was easily downed. Hoffman, Bryan forward, led the Bears ' attack with eleven points and Hetz paced the Aces with sixteen. Hicksville closed the cage season by defeating Paulding there February 19, 42 to 29, in a rough and tumble game. Beardsley and Fetzer paced the Aces with Beardsley tallying twelve points and Fetzer chalk ing up eleven. Lucas, star negro football back of Paul¬ ding, tallied nine points to lead the losers.

The Girls ' Athletic Association was organized in September under the supervision of Miss Geraldine Toops, the physical education instructor. Sixty-nine girls joined to take part in the activities, which included basket¬ ball, hiking, table tennis, bowling, badminton, and bicycling. Badminton and bicycling were added tor the first time. The meetings were held every Monday night in the gymnasium. The ouslness meetings were conducted by the president, Helen Osmun, or the vice president, Gwen Limpert. The secretary was Maxine Burley, who was assisted by Dorothy Strubing, while Anna Panasuk was treasurer. After the business meetings, the girls participated in the sports. The main purpose of this organization is to provide some recreation for the girls, because Hicksville no longer has a competitive girls ' basket¬ ball team or any other organization, the purpose o f which is to provide athletic activity. Athletic awards were made at the annual banquet on April 30. Mothers of the members were present.

In this section, the 1943 HIXONIAN records the history of the high school classes, guibs about the seniors, and information concerning the class plays, as well as the whereabouts of alumni. Page 57 THROUGH THE YEARS . . . By Peggy Roan Four years ago, in the fall of 1939, sixty- four green freshman entered the new school building for their first year in secondary school life. They, the class of ' 43, were the first class to enter the new building as fresh¬ men and complete their high school courses there. To help them over the coals, they elected Basil Beardsley president, while Cleo Monroe and Barbara Bedor were vice president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Class ad¬ visers were Miss Emily Heinrich and Mr. J. A. Bright. They delighted in imitating the manners of the upperclassmen and thoroughly enjoyed the newness of high school after their initia¬ tion into it. Time flew! And the class was on the second round of the ladder that leads to the heights of knowledge. The newness had worn off, and they were quite at ease in the classes and study halls, when their second year began. Class officers were Raymond Cole, presi¬ dent, Robert Hilbert, vice president, and Stan¬ ley Guttmacher, secretary-treasurer. Miss Es¬ ther Howenstine and Mr. Hugh Austermiller were the advisers. The main events of the sophomore year were a class party and the editing of the sophomore edition of THE SPOONDRIFT. 1941! And, at last, th e rank of juniors and upperclassmen, a much anticipated goal! Tex Compliments of S. Aufholtz Gardner guided the class. Thelma Grover was elected vice president, while Suzanne Malott was named secretary-treasurer. Miss Jean¬ nette Rankin and Mr. J. A. Bright were fac¬ ulty advisers. The chief concern was THE SPOONDRIFT. Every interested junior was called on to help publish the paper. Besides this and their stud¬ ies, they honored the seniors at a Junior- Sen ior reception, carrying out the theme of an army mess hall in red, white, and blue. After the bugler blew the mess call, everyone settled down to enjoy an evening of enter¬ tainment provided by members of the soph¬ omore class and Eck Greer ' s orchestra. On November 18, a group of juniors pre¬ sented the play You ' re Only Young Once, a three-act comedy by Hughes. Miss Rankin was director. At last, on September 21, 1942, a class of 57 seniors ascended to the final round of the ladder of knowledge. Three of the group with¬ drew, Tex Gardner and Dan Nutter enlisting in the merchant marine, and Chalmer Clark withdrawing to work. Chosen to lead them during the final year were Suzanne Malott, president; LeRoy Lynde, vice president; and Willa Mae Kisabeth, sec¬ retary-treasurer. The advisers were Mr. Den¬ ton Ricketts and Mrs. Russell J. Long. The class is proud of the boys who have made the football and basketball teams as well as other members who have participated in extra-curricular activities to better the class reputation and standing. Boys on the football team were Basil Beardsley, Rex Green, Jack Staup, Lee Bell, Max Ames, Kenneth Wittig, Paul Sholl, Darrell Fulmer, and Loring Beer- bower. In basketball were Joe Hetz, Max Fetzer, Darrell Fulmer, and Basil Beardsley. Gerald Laub was manager of the cagers. Hon¬ or students were Barbara Bedor, Thelma Gro¬ ver, Cleo Monroe, Willa Mae Kisabeth, Wil- da Click, Loring Beerbower, and John King. The class looks forward to May 27—the night of graduation, which will mark the end of their high school days and the beginning of a new career. They, the class of ' 43, who are, and will be giving many members to the armed forces, stand together in their determination to bring about an everlasting peace. Jewelry and Laub’s Food Store Page 58 IN 19 5 3... By June Johnson and Marie Brush When we were graduated from school, our aunt left us a fortune of money to do with as we wished. In 1953, after ten years, we decid¬ ed to take a tour of the Eastern Hemisphere to locate the Class of ' 43. Our first stop was made in Benton Har¬ bor, where, to our surprise, we found Mr. and Mrs. Sholl, (Paul and Ruth Hathaway) making a progressing business out of raising peaches. The next evening we spent in St. Paul, Min¬ nesota, where we recognized two more of our classmates: Max Fetzer, bellboy, and Neva Wittig, maid, who were employed at the ho¬ tel where we stayed. When we visited the mountains of Colo¬ rado to watch the skiers we found Kenneth Wittig trying to dig his way out of a snow pile which he found when he turned a corner too soon. In Arizona we took in the big Ringley Brothers ' Circus, where Peggy Roan and Maude Cook were doing an exhibition act of tumbling and Marilyn Bowsher was featur¬ ed as the shortest woman in the world. From lack of excitement, we went to a Rodeo in Texas where we found Mindred Schaufelberger and John King proprietors of the Jot-me-down Dude Ranch. The special performer we found to be Mildred Marlow, opera singer. Leaving the United States, we came to the exciting country of Mexico, where we went to a bullfight and found Raymond Cole, the champion bullthrower. When we reached Panama by Clipper we went to the Tiny Twin Restaurant! To our surprise, there were the Walters Twins as proprietors of the restaurant and Betty Wells and Lois Kimpel as waitresses. Soon after our arrival in Brazil, we visited one of the large coffee plantations to inquire into the shortage of this delicacy. Here we met the rich foremen of the plantations, Lee Bell and Max Ames. Crossing into Rio de Janeiro, we attended the yearly festival of the country, and there were Bette Cottrell and Joe Hetz, dancing the famous rumba. After finishing our tour in South America, we crossed the Atlantic on the U.S.S. Gerig and found the captain of the ship to be our old friend and classmate, Bill Sauders. Our ship landed on Cape of Good Hope at sundown and as we were walking down the street we saw a neon sign, dazzling to our eyes—LeRoy Lynde, Fish Hatchery. After visiting his fish business, we journeyed to a more prosperous place, Johannesburg. Upon much investigation, we found that Ger¬ ald Dull was the owner of one of the richest diamond mines in Africa. After journeying across country for some time, we came to Arabia, where we found Jack Staup at the head of a camel caravan. After spending a few days in Arabia, we crossed the Red Sea into Egypt. Here we vis¬ ited the castle of More-You-Mope, where Judy Sabo was an Egyptian Princess. We left Egypt to cross the Mediterranean Sea into Greece. On the way we delayed on the Island of Crete, where we found Allyene McKinley had been marooned for weeks. Finally we reached our destination, Italy, only to be greeted at the dock by Genevieve Hook, who had decreased somewhat in size because of the shortage of food. Traveling on, we stopped at Germany. Be¬ ing interested in international news, we went to an under-cover American news station, where, upon opening the door, we heard the familiar voices of Rex Green and Anna Pan- asuk conferring. Leaving the hateful country of Germany, we went next to Denmark, where my compan¬ ion hurt her hand. I took her to the hospital, and there, to my surprise, she was attended by the head medical doctor, Bob Hilbert. We stopped to take in the Skiing Contest in Norway and heard the familiar voice of Basil Beardsley as sports reporter and found Darrell Fulmer, the contest winner. Hearing of the popularity of the Edinburgh University, we visited there out of curiosity. We discovered Wilda Click and Carolyn Bel¬ knap were honor students in science. Best Wishes from Ferris Hardware and Garver Drug Store Page 59 Being interested in the WAACs, we stop¬ ped in England to find Helen Osmun as physical education instructor. Going due south, we came to London on Sunday morning. We decided to attend church at an army camp, a camp for the com¬ pulsory military training after graduation from high school. Here Basil Schliesser was Chaplain. Deciding that we had spent enough time in the Old World, we traveled back across the ocean by plane, where we landed at the Any Junk Today Airlines station in New¬ foundland to find Leo Headley as special boss. Our next stop was at Quebec, where we visited a hospital to compare it with one of the United States ' hospitals. Here Thelma Grover was supervisor, and Cleo Monroe and Ina Schooley were Canadian nurses. Upon leaving Quebec, we went to New York, where we stopped at a fun house to find Louise Hower the proprietor, and were very much amazed to see Barbara Bedor present as a debutante. Back-tracking to Boston, we went to a thea¬ ter where Loring Beerbower was owner and Nadine Johnston was a prominent pianist. In Pennsylvania, as we were going through the coal mines, we bumped into a black-faced person who turned out to be Paul Silvers. Down in West Virginia we decided to have our hair redone, so we went to the Mussy Hair-do Shop where Margaret Goller and Freda Peter were beauty operators. In the bl uegrass country of Kentucky, we went to a horse race. We bet our money on the horse we thought would win. When we went to see the horse after the races, we found that Suzanne Malott was the proud owner. Nearing home, we went to Indiana, where we stopped to get some ice cream at the Frozen Snow ice cream parlor, where Welty Bauer, Jr., was the big business executive of the firm.

Fisher, was produced by members of the Senior Class, April I and 2. The play was the story of a highly eccentric and forgetful Mrs. Highgate and the pandemonium she created when she decided to have her portrait painted for society. Tom Lawrence, in love with Nancy Highgate, was the painter hired, but the fun really started when two other people appeared on the scene, both similar to Tom in name and appearance. One was a house painter and the other an uninvited guest, followed closely by Beagle Jones, the blustering detective. Mrs. Highgate, completely bewil¬ dered by the strange appearances of her artist under amazing circumstances, be¬ came even more bewildered as the play progressed. Pocketites, a queer malady that Florence, the maid, suffered from, and her timid love affair with Philip the butler, lent new laughs to the play. The whirlwind courtship of the cook by the ever-hungry house painter, Lon Torence; the human bloodhound ' activities of Beagle Jones; and the capers of the mischievous yard-boy, Arthur, helped bring the play to a joyful conclusion. Those chosen for parts in the play were: Louise Hower . Suzanne Malott Basil Beardsley . Gerald Laub .... Leo Headley ... Peggy Roan _ Welty Bauer ... Helen Osmun .. Robert Hilbert Rex Green . Mrs. Imanda Highgate . _ Nancy Highgate _ _ Tom Lawrence .. . Lon Torence John Florenz __ Florence ____ Philip . Mary .. Arthur _ Beagle Jones Miss Nellie Jane Tyner was in charge of the play with Maude Cook as student director, John King as property manager, and Jack Staup and Joe Hetz as the stage crew. Costume directors were Marie Brush and Ina Schooley. Bette Cottrell was business manager, while Robert Hilbert was publicity manager. Anna Panasuk and Margaret Goller were prompters, Marilyn Bowsher was ticket seller, and Nadine Johnston had charge of entertainment between acts.

By Virginia Lou Thiel All during the freshman and sophomore years, the class of ' 44 eagerly looked for¬ ward to its junior year, when each member could participate in upper-class activities. Finally, September, 1942, arrived and they felt that they were growing up. They were Juniors! But as school started two weeks later than usual, it wasn ' t until September 21 that they actually attained that goal. While all the normal activities of a busy school year engaged their attention, they became aware of a new change—a realization that they were not living in a normal world. History was being made and they were a part, even though small, of it. When Congress enacted the law to draft eighteen- and nineteen-year-old boys, they knew that many of their schoolmates would be in some branch of the Armed Forces before another year had passed. That fact brought the war closer home. The class had its share of athletes. Lowell Metz, Clair Sholl, Lee Miller, Sene McClellan, Robert Husted, Roger Husted, Harold Harkey, Robert Bauer, and William Morhart were sturdy juniors on the football team. When the football season ended, basketball become the chief interest. Many of the boys participated: such scrappy players as Lowell Metz, Clair Sholl, Neal Keller, and Robert Bauer, who were on the varsity. The school paper, the SPOONDRIFT, is published by the Junior Class each year. Juniors in journalism, under the direction of Mrs. Russell J. Long, ably handled this phase of work. One event that is of interest to all juniors is the class play, and this year was no exception. The selection of the play, Red Hot Peppers, the cast, and finally the production, was a difficult task, but an enjoyable one. Slowly, time passed. Mid-year exams were over and spring, with its busy days, was just ahead. Soon a great day was coming—the Junior-Senior Reception! In this short history, the highlights of three years have been mentioned. Gradua¬ tion time came slowly, and the class realized with a tinge of sadness, that their schoolmates for ten years, the Class of ' 43, had completed their work in Hicksville High School. Days as juniors are now limited and it is the sincere hope of all that before another year has passed, the world will be at peace—that they, as seniors, may graduate into a constructive world, and each one, in his own way, will help to preserve the Amer¬ ican Way of Life. Compliments of Culler’s Hardware Department Store Page 63 •RED HOT PEPPERS Red Hot Peppers, a three-act farce-comedy by Reby Edmond, was produced by the Junior Class on December I I. The play was a riotous success, and full of excite¬ ment for those juniors fortunate to be chosen for a part. The story presented the Pepper family, a group of five young people whom the neighbors termed those awful young heathens. The trouble began when Joan wanted to marry a visiting young Frenchman and the family tried to prevent it by convincing the Due that the family was related to the Kallikak family of feeble-minded notoriety. The Due became involved with Mary, another member of the Pepper family, and Joan eloped with a young missionary, leaving the Due for Mary. The series of events involving the family and their nonsensical friends and servants made the play humorous and down to earth. Members of the cast were: The Peppers: Joan ______ __ _ Virginia Thiel Mary ____ _ Barbara Seibert Valerie .._....... .. . Janis Hurni Daryl _______ __ Clair Sholl Hal ___ ___ _ Neal Keller The Household: Perrins ___ .. __ John Keller Zippys .. Rosemary Scott Cookie .. . Margie McCollough The Visitors: Evelyn, Due de Malve __ Lowell Metz Jerry Minton _ ___Lee Miller Miss Nellie Jane Tyne was in charge of the production, with Martha Beerbower assisting as student director. Genevieve Frye and Gwen Limpert were property man¬ agers and Nona Countryman was in charge of the costumes. Don Wade was business manager, Gene McClellan, LaVon Haver and Clair Kimpel were stage managers. Prompters were Baneta Yarger and Betty Babcock. Leatrice Steele was in charge of between-act entertainment. Best Wishes from R. C. Griffith, Prop., Skinner’s Dairy Page 64 SOPHOMORES STEP UP . . . By Dorothy Dull The second stepping stone of Senior High School has been reached by the soph¬ omore class. Only two more stones—and there ' s the top! As a group, the class did little; however, several individuals aided the class ' pres¬ tige. Jack Gloor, Richard Paul Green and Norman Miller played basketball, while Jack also was on the football squad. Lois Smith, Dorothy Monroe, Patsy Clark and Richard Paul Green were in the band. A number were also in the chorus, G.A.A., F.H.A., and F.F.A. Paul Dietz served as class president; Daniel Crowl, vice president; and Fred Bill- man, secretary-treasurer. As juniors they anticipate a much more important place in school activities. FRESHMEN PLAN FUTURE . . . By Rosalyn Daub In the fall of 1942 a group of green, open-mouthed, wide-eyed freshmen drifted in to gaze in awe at the faces of Hicksville ' s upperclassmen. But soon the novelty wore off and all were settled down to routine. Election of class officers found Fred Malott being made president; JoAnn Beer- bower, vice president; Melba Deardorf, secretary-treasurer; and Margaret Panasuk, Jeanne Laub, and Barbara Blosser, representatives to the Student Council. The first big event of the year was the Armistice Day dance which the class spon¬ sored. Later, the group enjoyed a class party. Some of the classmen were in G.A.A., F.H.A., F.F.A., band and chorus. Next year they anticipate a bigger and better part in the school activities. Eagerly they await the time when they, as sophomores, can yell Hiya Freshie!
