Our years of rehearsing together are soon to be ended as we approach our Commencement and prepare ourselves for a still greater production in which we shall be enacting characters of various types. When we 'tried-out' for parts in this massive production as first grade students, we knew little of what lay ahead but now we know only this--tha.t every day brought with it new experiences, joys, and enlightenments. The insignificant little programs with which we struggled, the music concerts we presented and our unforgettable operetta, 'Under the Greenwood Tree'--all of these are very dim memories but we think of them with the same tender thoughts that we will soon apply to our more important activities of the present. After passing those inevitable, fearful experiences of a Freshman, we became very enthusiastic about high school. However, this and the Sophomore year proved to be quite uneventful in com- parison to the Junior year. Our first activity was the incomparable play, 'fPeck's Bad Boy . Our next task was the editing of the Spoondrift with the aim of making it superior to previous ones. A f'Starlight Roof' was the theme we used for the junior-Senior Banquet in May which we sponsored as a farewell to the Class of '46. And thus we come to the final dramatic act--staged during our Senior year at Hicks- ville High School. From the very first we worked together harmoniously in the edit- ing of the Hixonian. On New Year's Eve we were sponsors of a formal program dance which proved to be a splendid success. This year the general trend of senior activities was somewhat changed. Instead of the customary Carnival following our traditional Coronation Ceremonies, A Senior Variety Show was presented. At our Class Play, the myster-comedy-drama, The Spider's Webf, we held the audience spell-bound and terror-stricken, throughout. The most festive of all occasions was the Junior-Senior Banquet in May. The Class of '48 sponsored a magnificent supper, program and dance for us with a theme predominating. Now we are fully prepared for the climax of this eventful production--the Graduation Ceremonies and the Bac- calaureate Services. The class valedictorian and salutatorian expressed the senti- ments of the graduates of the Class of '47 in their addresses on May 21. Before the curtain falls there is always the ffdenouementn,--the ending--and ours was a happy ending. The entire class with its sponsors and chaperons journeyed on an excursion to Chicago. The planned tours, the stage plays,--every major and minor incident are all experiences which we shall never forget. It was all a very appropriate finale for so great a production. And now as a ffcurtain call , we, the leading charac- ters of this play, wish to whole-heartedly thank each and every one of our sponsors and producers who have helped and guided us through the years with their untiring efforts. Whatever fame or success we may achieve in the future may we say Uwe owe it all to the teachers and H. H. S.

But before I retire I want to tell you of all my escapades because live enjoyed them so very much. Apparently the president of the Class of '47 had premonitions of the fact that I would be about the only one left in Hicksville when the time came for our Class Reunion, so he unofficially appointed me to contact each and every one, which Pve endeavored to do. We graduated just ten years ago today and what a day! If one can be sad and glad at the same time--then those were the mixed emotions of the Class of '47. It was impossible to have our reunion today, however, so it will be a week from Sunday. Florence Cole, Lawyer William R. Miller's private secretary, wrote me and asked if it could be postponed because our 'Dewey' is busy defending Mr. H. R. Hinton and his loyal followers who are advocating that the younger genera- tion isn't 'fgoing to the dogs. I went up to Mayor Don Culler's office to see if he knew whether or not Re- presentative Carl Gecowets would be home. Don gave me an affirmative answer and said that Congress would be adjourned at that time. Both of them claim they owe their success to their experiences at Boys' State. He also said thathe had received word from his friend, Waldo Keller, that since his band is featured at Cleveland this month, he will be here. Idrove around by McCallaPs Research Laboratories and was quite surprised to find Elaine Cottrell and Martha Keller working as lab supervisors. Bill is pub- lishing a new monthly, McCal1a's Science Digest. Hearing that Danny Jenkins was in the hospital with a broken neck and six cracked ribs, I drove to Rosedale to see him. Barbara Koch is superintendent of the new hospital and she has Cleo McFeeters a.nd Mary Ellen McQuistion work- ing there. Ila Mae Moon is dietician and Donal Wonderly is chief cook. After talking to Barb for sometime, she took me to see Danny. There he was--sur- rounded by the entire personel of our most elite Barber Shoppe. Karl Balser and Micheal Hicov were giving him a haircut and their manicurists Jeanne Fogle and Teresa Schliesser were fixing his nails. It wasn't until after they had finished that I found the reason for Danny's condition. He had visited Panasu.k's Muscle Building Center where Walter Beverly is employed and--well--you know Heavy Bev! Barb said Bob's establishment has kept the hospital pretty busy. On my way back home, the car broke down and I had to call Maurice Tuttle's Used Car and Repair Shop. Who should drive the wrecker out after me but Carl Helsel. Maurice's Shop works in co-ordination with Charles Carey's Garage so they took my automobile there where expert mechanics, Claron Bauer and lack Bailey, could work on it. Since I had a little time to wait, I decided to go to a movie. I went to Thiel's Theatre, quite competently managed by Paul, where to my surprise he was featur- ing Windy's Last Love?9', starring Linda Durre, accomplished vocolist, and Bonnie B. Kon the key. They're still styled by Vivian Arend and their make-up was by Dorothy West. When I came out of the Theatre, whom should I meet but Jeanne Lehman. She has been writing a book entitled 'A Thousand Practical Ways to Use Chicken Feathers? Together we went to 1oe's joint , where the owner, JoAnn Mettert, gave us appointments for the ffwoiks' before the class reunion. I had just left Iearme when along came Marlin Miller. He gave me several free tickets to see ffPapa Davis' Midget basketball team play in the auditorium owned by Herbert Beerbower. Marlin is manager of the Midgets and he says they plan an extensive nation-wide tour soon. I stopped by at the 'SDoodles' Daily' Office and asked Editor Max McDonald to give the reunion a write-up in his paper. Ma.x said that I might be glad to know that Ned Beck is establishing his own business. Naturally, a bakery--Beck's Bakery--and of all places--in the Belgian Congo. Sponsored by Armstrong Insurance Agency PROPHE CY My next stop was at Ruth's Roadside Restaurant, where the proprietress, Ruth Laub, was overjoyed to know that we would have our banquet dinner there. Ruth owns a chain of restaurants which Betty Brown, Arlene Scott,and Genevieve Sing- leton manage, Martha Evans is dietician for the entire chain and says she owes her abilities to Miss Howenstein. Ruth is going to give her managers the day off so that they may attend the banquet. Since I had seen all Icould contact personally, I went home to my prefabricated house, designed, by master-architect, Roger Chaney, one of our Senior Class ad- visors. There Ifound my mail box filled to overflowing. The letter to first catch my eye was one post-marked 'fTimbucktoo . It was from Pat Davis! She is a famous missionary now and asked me to relay her regards to the Class of '47. Another letter was from Patricia Miller. Having divorced her fifth husband in Reno, she met and married a rich dude from Arizona. She is rolling in wealth and asked to finance the reunion. Another was a'nice, newsy letter from Eleanor Hauter. She is secretary of the famed psychologist, Eudora Reitz. Eleanor said that since several of the Wgang' are in New York at present, they all plan to come home together. Mary Ellen Bell is in New York on tour as a reward for winning a typing contest. She netted 130 words a minute. Lois Aten will come with them, also. She has been in New York City lecturing against dancing. The fourth letter was from Mary Lou Timbrook, who is teaching in a Bible Institute. She is heading a campaign for shoes for the natives of Richmond, Kentucky, Miss Moores' old home town. Mary Lou says that Reverend and Mrs. William L. Lower are going to pick her up on their way here from Reverend Lower's charge in Tennessee. Joyce is supperintendent of the Children's Home in Nashville. The letter I got from Mickey Zimmerman last week relieves me of trying to contact her. Mickey is teaching music in Germany with a group of World Peace Promoters .under the direction of Mike Sapp who is trying to build up the populous of Germany through physical training. Four other classmates will be unable to attend the reunion. Bill Powell, who was continually experimenting in school, has won the Nobel for his efforts. Bill has perfected an invention which blew the snow and ice off Antarctica. Now he is on that continent experimenting with the valuable resources there. George Rohrs, Bernard Rohrs and Basil Timbrook are also in Antarctica doing experi- mental farming. They credit Mr. Norman Merwine and F.F.A. for their abilities.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '48 The up and coming class of '48 entered this new and different hall of study in the fall of 1942. Out of our total which was 68, we elected Ora Miller, Ir. as President, Floyd Kimple as vice-president, and Carol Jean Sackrider as secretary- treasurer. As supervisors, we had Mrs. Culler and Mr. Kunkle. The next year we were back but with a loss of 9. We elected Betty Tomlinson as President, Patricia Wyckoff as vice-president, and Deloy Preston, Jr. as sec- retary-treasurer. Miss Sauers and Mr. Rodocker were our 8th grade supervisors. Again in the fall of 1944 we met, this time as Freshmen and with the loss of 1 member. We had afrightened feeling, for as I mentioned before, we were now Freshmen and we all had to guard against that certain ffmenacet' better known as initiation! Many of us even took such careful steps as to stay 4 at home every night so as not to be caught by some so called ffupper-classmanf' We chose Ora Miller, President, Naomi Lantz, vice-president, and Anna Neidhardt as secretary-treasurer with Mr. Snorf as supervisor. At last we were Sophomores., This year we found that we had lost 2 members, thus making our total 56., Very proudly, we took the advantages offered us as Sophomores and chose green and white as our class colors, the white carnation as our class flower, and Life is but a picture, so paint it wellw as our class motto and with great pride and joy we ordered our class rings and pins. Dick Moore was elected President, Bill Cleland, vice-president, and Anna Neidhardt as sec- retary-treasurer while Mrs. Culler served as our class sponsor. In 1946-47 we suddenly became aware of the astonishing fact that we were fin- ally Iuniors a.nd proud of it! This year was a struggle to raise money for the expenses that were to be ours, however, it was well done. We, the junior Class proudly boast of the fact that, financially speaking, our class play was the most successful play that has been given by any class for the past five years. Our class was very active in organizations such as F.F.A., G.A.A., band, chorus, Latin and commercial clubs, basketball, football and others., This year with our class number dwindled down to 47, we elected Pete Pearson, President, Anna Neidhardt, vice-president, Betty Tomlinson, secretary, and Albert Zuber as trea- surer. With the aid of our supervisors, Miss Moores and Mr. Zimmerman, and our class rings and pins which made us feel more united, we have completed, in our own estimation, a very successful junior year. As a group the junior Class looks forward with anticipation to next year but will dread the day when we must leave H. H.

Grad- ually we became more at ease and in the eighth grade we chose Gabriel Katona, Kenneth Horn and John Adams, President, vice-president and secretary-treasurer respectively. To the Student Council we elected Kenneth Horn, John Adams, and Bob Scott. We had two parties and felt quite grown-up. At last we were high school freshmen. We really were making progress. This year we chose our own subjects. Our class officers were: President-Bob Mastin, vice-president-Bob Scott, secretary-Jayne Burgoyne, treasurer-Shannon Meeker. Our council members were Kenneth Horn, Evelyn Gordon and Iayne Burgoyne. We again had two parties, one of which was combined with the class of 'f48 . This year as Sophomores we chose 'fWe're not at the top, but climbing' as our motto. For our flower we selected the yellow rose and our class colors are green and yellow. Early in February we chose our class rings and are now eagerly waiting for their arrival. On April the twenty-fifth we sponsored our first spring dance with everyone pitching in to help and incidentally enjoying themselves. Our class officers were, President-Carol Fox, vice-president-Evelyn Gordon, secretary-john Adams, treasurer-Gabriel Katona. Our council members are Evelyn Gordon, Kenneth Horn and Bob Scott for the first semester with Ruth Ann Whitman, John Adams, and Kenneth Horn for the second semester. We 49 ers have had many good times together in the past years and are looking forward to the next two years with great anticipation.

Miss Sauers, our class advisor, helped us plan and hold a party in the gymnasium. We chose Glen Miller, Nova Monroe, and David Zimmerman for student council members. During the next year, with the help of Mr. Rodocker, our advisor, we elected as our lead- ers-President, David Zimmerman, vice-president, JoAnn Wilson, and secretary-treasurer, Estell Johnson. Our student council members were Kenneth Koch, David Zimmerman, and JoAnn Wilson. Again this year we had a class party where most of the evening was spent dancing. This year, as all thirty-eight of us have finally reached high school, we were allowed to choose the subjects which would benefit us most. We elected for our class officers-President, Douglas Brown, vice-president, Patricia Saltzman, secretary-treasurer, Harold Miller. New student council members were not elected until the second semester, when we chose Max Preston, Glen Miller and Larry Schaufelberger as our representatives. Though only Freshmen, we were allowed the privileges of sponsoring a March of Dimes Dance. It was held January 29 in the school gymnasium with all profits going to the Defiance County Infantile Paralysis Fund. Our dance was a big success. We consider ourselves well-represented on the Reserve team by Kenneth Koch, Glen Miller, Lynn Blalock, David Zimmerman and Carl Beverly. All twenty of the first-year Latin students are members of the Latin Club and have enjoyed taking part in the club meetings and programs. We, as Freshmen, are looking forward to our next three years in H. H. S.

Dur- ing the course of the evening a program was presented to the dancers and refreshments were served. At twelve o'clock balloons were broken and the orchestra played Auld Lang Syne. Everyone welcomed the peaceful new year happily. COMMERCIAL CLUB DANCE On Friday, March 14, the Commercial Club sponsored its a.nnual spring formal. Dancing was held from 8 to 10 p.m. At ten o'clock there was an intermission, during which time a program was given. It included a skit entitled Mama Goes To The Conventionf' two popular songs sung by Linda Durre, and two numbers by our Double Quartette. After the program refreshments were served and dancing was resumed. The girls looked very pretty in their fromals, the boys looked very handsome in their suits, and everyone looked tired, but happy, when the evening was over. IUNIOR SENIOR BANQUET The junior Class met on March 31 to select waiters and waitresses and a theme for the jr.-Sr. Banquet which was held on May 9, 1947. They carefully chose KSpring in a Dutch Gardena as the theme and elected8waiters a.nd8 waitresses, a hat check boy and girl, and apunch boy and girl. When the meeting adjourned, every junior left the room proudly and feeling very important, for at last they had gained the privilege, but also great responsibility of planning a Ir.-Sr. Banquet. We hope we were able to make it one of the most enjoyable memories of every Senior of 947. 'GOOD GRACIOUS, GRANDMA' As a moneyraising project, the Booster Club took up the production of a three-act play named, 'Good Gracious, Grandma! After much hard work and faithful toil they presented it to the community. Miss Caroline Moores, the high school speech teacher, directed the play, assisted by Mrs. D. F.

A long muffled roar is heard in the distance--an ominous sound that sends cold chills down every- one's back. A party of tourists is stranded at the irm and they come under the evil influence of Dr. Martischang, and imposter and a spy. This fearful play, 'The Spider's Web givenby the Senior Class, unravels itself into a terrifying mystery. It was presented on the 17th and 18th of April to a crowded auditorium.

JUNIOR PL AY On Thursday and Friday, November 14 and 15, 1946 the Junior Class presented the play entitled 'The Amazing Maudie Starr. It was a three-act comedy with the plot centering on the fact that Dick Starr, Maudie's brother, had invented a substitute for rubber. While trying to interest a rubber czar in his invention, he and Maudie encounter many difficulties and are involved in several mix-ups. Anna Neidhardt and Bill Cleland took the leading roles. Sponsored by Fuller Oil Company During the past year, the Spoondrift, our school paper, was published by the junior Class. Under the very capable supervision of Mrs., Culler and Miss Moores, we were able to publish our paper every other week. The junior Class members have all ffworked over-time' in order to get the paper out on time. The Spoondrift not only informs the public of what happens in school, but also serves as training in journalism for the class publishing the paper. The advanced typing class ably served as typists for our school paper. The Spoondirft staff is as follows: Co-Editors .... . Betty Tomlinson Willagene Manon Editorial Staff . . .

BAND The Hicksville High School Band, in its twelfth year, con- sisted of 42 members under the very able direction of Mr. Carl Zimmerman. The band practiced for some time on marching formations which they planned to present to the football fans during the course of the season but due to bad weather they were unable to perform. The band gave three concerts this year on February 7, March 28, and May 2, these all being well attended by the public. On March 22, the members of the band traveled to Defiance to participate in an all day music festival. Some of the members took part in the solo contests on April 18 at Bowling Green, then on April 25 the entire band partici- pated in a band contest at Bluffton. There were quite a few members of the band who were seniors but as there is excellent younger material coming on, the band will continue to be one of the great organizations of our school.

MAMA GOES TO THE CONVENTION At the formal dance which was given in the spring by the Commercial Club, a play was given by several members of the Club. It was a great hit.

OUR DOUBLE QUARTE TTE The Double Quartette was organized in the latter part of December, 1946 with Bonnie Bainbridge as the accompanist. Its first engagement was singing at the New Year's Eve Formal dance. Everyone enjoyed their renditions of old barber shop numbers so much that they have had a full schedule from that time on. Unfortunately several of the fellows graduate in '47 and must be replaced or the Quartette will have to be disbanded. We don't want that to happen.
