Everyone Knows ' No Boys Allowed No Boys Allowed, a three-act comedy, was pre- sented by the junior class on March 29 and 30. Because of an unfortunate accident, the part of Belinda Elliot, assigned to Cathy White, was played by Maurine Banks. The story takes place In the Baxter residence where Rita Baxter Is having a slumber party. Rita has just split with her boyfriend Fred, and has asked Keith and Harvey to guard the party, but everyone knows that there are no boys allowed at a girls ' slumber party. A great clash arises when Harvey Is mistaken for the neighborhood prowler, Mr. Midnight; Fred and Leroy are blamed for stealing the refreshments, when it was really Keith and Harvey. Utter chaos results when many of the girls are kid- napped, and the cook, VIctrola, is continually trying to quit.

These courses include grammar, literature nd the art of speaking properly. Freshman classes concentrate their study efforts on grammar and general literature. All classes read Charles Dickens ' David Copper-field. They also study myths and the gods and goddesses. To help them re- late spelling words and their meanings, t-he students write stories comprised of words on their spelling lists. As sophomores, more time is spent on literature and grammar. They study such men as William Shake- speare. They get a general background for their next two years of study. Junior English students devote the year to the study of American literature. Writing techniques are presented and students write short stories and essays. Contemporary American drama is also studied during the year. Seniors, in the study of English literature, are in- troduced to the masters of the English language and their advanced forms of writing. The study of the his- tory of England is also incorporated in the year ' s studies. Junior English students wrote essays on Freedom ' s Chal- lenge. Becky Brockelbank and Maurlne Banks show reference materials used. Portraying Ophelia and Hamlet, Cheryl Altman and Jim Little read a scene from tHamlet, one of several Shake- spearean plays studied by English literature students. 22 English Students I K vS 1 s ' - ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ■ m ' ' ' ' ' J wP ABOVE: Study of myths is an Interesting part of English IX. ttere Julie Hayes shows Lora Stuckman how the goddess Diana nnight have dressed.

Dean Geoltienleuchter portrays Julius Ceaser in an enactment of Cae- sar ' s death. The traitors are Dan Briskey. Dan Beverly. Denny Cornelius and Bill Cleland. 23 Language Students Learn To Speak Translation of mythology and stories of Aeneas and Ulysses followinq the Trojan War are two tech- niques used in first year Latin to improve the stu- dent ' s understanding of the Latin language and the customs of the Romans. Naturally, before translation can take place, new words and grammar rules must be learned. The first year of this subject, 834 words are introduced. Second year students extend their study of gram- mar rules and conjugation. They translate Jason and the Argonauts and the diary of Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars. Both first and second year students are required to make Latin and Roman notebooks. These notebooks include pictures depicting the Roman alphabet, myths and modern advertisements pertaining to ancient Rome. LEFT: Looking through Latin notebooks, Mike Adcock searches for ideas +o Incorporate in his book. BELOW: Contrasting the difference between the modern day and Roman student, Paul Doeden represents the student of today while Bert DeVeau depicts how a scholar of Rome may have looked. 24 in Foreign Tongues Learning the basics of the Spanish language is the main concern of Spanish I classes. Their time Is spent learning the many new words. Once their vocabulary is started, students go on to tackle the grammar rules to be put to use In basic composition. Studying not only the language, students are required to select a Spanish-speaking country and report on its customs and people. Second year Spanish students further their knowl- edge of the language and people through grammar study and tape recordings and films. They display an ability to converse by giving a report on a Span- ish-speaking country in the native tongue. Deviating from grammar and conversation, the classes read Spanish literature dating from the twelfth century through modern times. While a Bowling Green University student observed the classes, students had the opportunity to see slides and other souvenirs from her trip through Spain. One outside activity planned this year was a trip to the Toledo Museum of Art to view Spanish paint- ings on display. UPPER RIGHT: Fulfilling a requirement for Spanish II, Mike Thiel gives a report on a Spanish-speaking country.

Dave Finzer and Jim Turnbull look through magazines for Information. 25 Five Courses of Mathematics Is important because it promotes log- ical processes in solving problems. Students at Hicks- ville High School are offered five courses in this sub- ject area. Freshmen have a choice in either general math or Algebra I. General math extends and deepens the students ' knowledge of arithmetic and its everyday applications. Algebra I introduces students to the In- teresting world of equations with x, y, and z. In the sophomore and junior years, Algebra II, an advanced course of algebra, and geometry are of- fered. Geometry teaches the student to do his work in a logical manner, proving it by axioms and theo- rems. ABOVE: Figuring and drawing angles with the aid of a protractor is an important phase of general math as Gary Kimpel ad Cindy McDonald discover. BELOW: Slide rules relieve many headaches for trigonometry students as Rick Straley and Dave Green find v hile setting up a sine law problem. BELOW: Analytic geometry and calculus are an introduc- tion to college math. Here, Don Agler explains to Roy hlurni why this equation is graphed in the manner shown. 26 Mathematics Offered at Hicksville Seniors enjoy a taste of college level courses in advanced math. Trigonometry, offered first semester, makes full use of the triangle In all applications. Ana- lytic geometry makes use of trigonometry and geom- etry. Introductory calculus Is classlfed as a Newtonian science. These two subjects are offered second se- mester. UPPER RIGHT: Algebra II Introduces the students to geometry. Lewis King shows that it is helpful to make a sketch before solving an equation. LOWER RIGHT: Plotting the graph of an equation is an important concept taught in Algebra I. Barbara Bruggeman proves that she knows how to graph x = y. BELOW: Deb Kerr knows from ex- perience that geometry requires a lot of paperwork before a solution is clear. 27 Science Department Aided By New Lab Hicksviile High School ' s science department has been aided by the addition of a new, more modern lab and the purchase of equipment, including micro- scopes and visual aids. These new facilities are a special help to the science instructors in teaching their subjects. General science, required of all freshmen, finishes out the series taught in junior high. Its study ranges from that of different types of trees to the basic laws of science. Biology is an elective offered to sophomores who are interested In the field of natural science. Through- out this course the similarity of all types of life is pointed out. Inherited traits, the study of the human body and the study of many low forms of life make up a large portion of this course. Living examples of the lower animals are studied in the lab as well as dis- section of the higher vertebrate. Microscopes prove useful fo students In biology. Dan Cole studies a bacterium on his slide. Students of senior science obtain practical knowledge of how many things work, including the human heart. John Miller seems enraptured by the beat of Monty Grover ' s heart. Accuracy is the byword in physics. Steve Sweeney calcu- lates the time needed to pump the air from the room, for Pam Francles. 28 and More Equipment chemistry is an elective offered to juniors and sen- iors. The relationship between math and science Is stressed in this course. It includes the study of the basic structure of the different forms of matter. In addition, the properties of many compounds are stud- ied in the lab periods held twice a week. Students are given unknown compounds to analyze and iden- tify during the second semester. For seniors, there is physics or senior science. The fundamental laws of the universe and their applica- tions are taught in physics. Senior science allows fur- ther investigation into such everyday things as the automobile and the human heart. RIGHT: Chemistry students not only put new substances together, but also take others apart. Using electrolysis, Terry Kimpel separates the two basic elements of water, hydrogen and oxygen. BELOW: Through such simple experiments as dropping a ball into water, general science students Steve Myers, Carol hHarter and Bob Myers discover the basic tacts of nature. 29 Maps, Charts, Films, Aid Students Term papers and map work aid high school stu- dents in their study ot geography, history and Amer- ican government. They also utilize various films, maps and charts supplied to make their study easier and more Informative. Required for sophomores for the first time this year, world history involves the investigation of Euro- pean, Asian and other civilizations, including their way of life and the rulers. The students not only study the history of these people and their countries, but also cite the locations of events on maps. Juniors are initiated into the complicated world of research as they complete their first term papers for American history. They also link the government and experiences of the United States in the past to the policies now used. Films and reports on battles are used to further the students ' study of American wars. LEFT: Keeping his mind on his work is Mike Cleland ' s problem. He is using the library facilities to do research for his term paper. Industrious American history students often make trans- parencies to aid fellow students in their study of American wars. hHere Dave Kaduk points out a battle to Diane Keeley and Cathy White. 30 in Social Studies Senior students have the opportunity to take world geography to supplement their current knowledge of world locations with the climates and products of those regions. Current events are incorporated in the study of American government by senior students. Studies throughout the year Include all branches of American government, income taxes, term papers and weekly discussions of current events read in Time magazine. The three government classes also conducted a tele- phone campaign to get voters to the polls for the special school election. BELOW; Finding numerous countries and cities is an inn- portant part of geography. Bob Evans cfiecks a map to correctly locate an Asian city. ABOVE: Studying the branches of government and reading Time magazine are not the only assignments tor government students.

LEFT: Putting the phrase, Heredity deals the cards, but environment plays them. to practical use is Gary Ruckman. Students Study Life in Three Courses Senior students, for the first time this year, had the opportunity to take psychology and sociology. These courses were two of five subjects added. Psychology, the study of the individual, is a first semester course. The book is used as a background and the study expands beyond it, ■ involving further investigation by the students. They are required to study such philosophers as Spinoza, Sartre and Marx. They prepare term papers and present reports on them in ' class. Topics range from psychotic reactions to the study of prejudiced feelings. Second semester, sociology is offered. This subject extends the study of the individual to that of groups of people. The environment, culture, human nature, society, problems of the government, economy and the conservation of human resources are topics cov- ered In the book. Seniors may also take personal problems second se- mester. In this subject, the students study their own lives and learn how to accept their responsibilities. Assignments include panel discussions, prepared and given by the students. Looking over the new sociology books to be used second semester are seniors Helen Handy and Diane Byers. 32 Colors, Sculptures Studied In Art Beginning in the 1967-68 school year, hiicksville High School students had the opportunity to take art instruction. The course is required for junior high classes and is optional in the high school curriculum. It is necessary to first learn primary and secondary colors before going deeper into the subject. Art stu- dents must be able to use colors in a picture to com- plement and blend with each other. For this reason, the color wheel is also studied. After students learn colors and how to use them in a picture, they go on to watercolors, doing several pictures. In order to cover many aspects of art, sculptures are attempted in four dimensions using a cement base mixture and three dimensional sculp- tures are done in plaster of Paris. Clay pots are also made. Toward the end of the year, the artists try their hand at drawing scenes out-of-doors and then go on to beginning oil painting. Demonstrating the correct way to apply paint to a picture is Dan Gibson as Dave Osmun and Susan Tlmbrool! observe. Giving pointers to Bev VanHorn on her work, is art instructor, J. B.

Business Curriculum Four new business subjects, office pracfice, business law, clerical records, and consumer economics were added to the curriculum of HHS this year. Business students also had an opportunity to take business En- glish, bookkeeping, Typing I or II, and Shorthand I or II. Office practice acquaints the students with all types of business machines. An office practice set and a filing set supplement their textbooks. Business law is concerned with the rules that apply to personal business situations and transactions. Stu- dents learn such facts as what contracts made by mi- nors are enforceable. Students of business English are taught how to speak to a group and write letters that get results. Attention Is given to using correct grammar. Clerical records equips students with the basic vo- cational skills that are common to simple clerical of- fice jobs in which record keeping is involved. Consumer economics acquaints students with the importance of buying life Insurance, how to plan a budget, and the types and sources of consumer credit. Practice sets also supplement the bookkeeping class. The pupils learn the basic fundamentals of bookkeeping necessary for success In business. Touch control, accuracy, speed, and many letter forms are emphasized in Typing I. Typists in their second year concentrate on typing production prob- lems. Memorization of Gregg Theory Is an essential part of Shorthand I. Transcription at the typewriter is be- gun the second semester. The stenographers of Short- hand II strive hard for accuracy in the transcription of their notes. By the end of the year, their goal Is taking dictation at I 20 words a minute. A phase of Business English Is presented by Aaron Banks, Kathi Stotler, Valarie Bell. 34 Is Expanded by Four Subjects ABOVE: Consumer economic students, Wilma Stoll, Jim Thompson look at an advertising poster.

I( 35 Personal Development Important Also pi! ,ip||ij|in;p(!«UilWI Grooming and personal developnnent are two phases of Home Economics I. Studen+s also sfudy the beginning food skills Including reading and following simple recipes and preparing basic meals. Beginning sewing involves reading and following a pattern, con- structing three garments and doing embroidery work. Understanding self and family are studied In Home Economics II. The girls take on advanced food plan- ning and prepare dinner meals. They acfvance their skills In sewing through clothes construction. Third year home economics students freeze and can foods and make jellies, jams and candies. They learn to prepare meals with convenience foods. Iden- tifying fabrics and using them properly are also a part of this course. Tailoring Is included in their ad- vanced sewing skills. Any senior girl may take Home Economics IV which studies family living, child care and development and home and money management.

He received an award for having a unique design. Boys Get Background for Vocations Industrial Arts, or Shop, provides its students with a solid background for the technical fields they might enter. Industrial Arts I is a general survey of all the dif- ferent aspects of handwork. Freshmen and sopho- mores concentrate on drawing, leathercarving, wood- working with lathes, saws and the joiner, and for those students going to the Vocational School, an introduc- tory course in welding. Members of the Industrial Arts II class concentrate on metal working. Beginning the year, they study sheet metal developments, making paper projects at first, then going on to actual models. Later on in the year, the students do architectural drafting and work in the machine shop, welding and soldering. During the end of the course, they work in advanced woods, learning their characteristics. For those who have completed their projects, electrical wiring Is studied. Seniors in Industrial Arts III serve as student super- visors and work on individual projects of their choice. Louis Bailey puts the finishing touches on his stereo and television cabinet, which won honors at the Industrial Arts Ex- hibit. 37 Courses Stress Physical education at Hicksville High School has resumed with the completion of the new gymnasium. With larger facilities and new, modern equipment, this gymnasium has made it possible for a varied and improved program. There may be as many as four different activities taking place during one period, including weight lifting, wrestling and use of the par- allel bars and trampoline. Physical education classes are open to students of all grades from seventh to twelfth. Girls ' physical education classes also make use of the new equipment. They study the game of soccer extensively and learn its origin and the rules. Freshmen are required to participate in the health program. The students learn about various diseases, correct posture, some first aid and how to stay in good health. Demonstrating her ability to use the parallel bars is Kay Brockelbank, as Janet Whonsetler watches. m Wtr iH mil A H George Monroe, Marie Woodring and Jim Thiel show their knowledge of the correct use of the new equipment pur- chased for the expanded physical education program. 38 Fitness, Health and Safe Driving Any student at least l5 ' 2 years of age may take the driver ' s training course which is offered every se- mester. The purpose of this class is to teach young drivers to drive safely and correctly before they re- ceive their license. The course Includes classroom study and, after learning the fundamental rules of driving, several weeks are spent putting to work what has been learned. Driving in town, open road driving and parallel and diagonal parking are all included in this phase of the course. J fll  -: ■ -:• •:•• . ■ ' I 1 H s 1 - — . «r V ' v ' .

And a few lilies blow. And I have asked to be Where no storms come, Where the green swell in in the haven dumb, And out of the swing of the sea. — Gerard Manley Hopkins STEPHEN L. SLAUGHTER June 16, 1950— November 15, 1965 And when I am entombed in my place, Be it remembered of a single man, He never, though he dearly loved his race.

Several staff members attended work- shops where instructors gave them ideas to use in their book. The changes In the ' 68 book Include dou- ble division pages printed In a brown tone and the addition of eight pages, making it possible to en- large some sections which the staff felt would in- terest the readers. Busy most of the year, a troika of editors, Barb Laub, Linda Monroe and Pam Wonderly, rushed to meet numerous deadlines — typing, laying out pages and attending to other business Inherent In the pub- lication of a yearbook. Advisor to the hllXONIAN staff is Mrs. Mary Culler. SPOONDRIFT, the bi-weekly newspaper published by the junjpr class, under the direction of adviser Mrs. Margaret McAdams and editor Ruth Miller, tried varied techniques in writing this year. Having two columnists and more feature articles helped the prize winning image of the paper. Two judging organizations felt that the SPOON- DRIFT was a very good paper, well above average in news coverage and writing. The National Scholas- tic Press Association awarded the paper a First Class FHonor Rating and the Northwest Ohio District Jour- nalism Association presented it with an Excellent. As editor Ruth Miller reaches for layout sheets, Mrs. Mc- Adams beoins preparations for another issue of the SPOON- DRIFT. 65 Student Council ... P. Doeden, D. Cornelius, B. Pepple, D. Agler, R.

Students Approve New Constitution Early In the 1967-68 school year, Hicksville hiigh School students voted on and approved a new, com- prehensive Constitution for the student body. At this time they approved a dress code. This Constitution expanded and defined the powers of the Student Council and established a Student Court. It also es- tablished a line of communication between the Ad- ministration and the student body. 5 f § The Student Council consists of two boys and two girls from each of the high school classes. After the passage of the Constitution, the Council defined parking regulations and set up a list of suggested prices for school dances. Active in leading the stu- dent body, one of their duties is to sponsor the Na- tional Honor Society. They also sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Day and a dance with the same theme in the evening. The Student Council is headed by Mike Thiel as president. Bill Pepple, vice president, and Gayle Hitt, secretary-treasurer. A new facet of student government at HHS is the Student Court. With three justices, one from each of the three upper classes, the Court ' s job is to rec- ommend punishment for students who violate regula- tions set by the Student Council. The justices for the 1967-68 term were Steve Sweeney, senior, Diane Tim- brook, junior and Stan Stuckey, sophomore. Jeannette Woodring served as court clerk. Both the Student Council and the Student Court are advised by William Jones. Student Court Woodring. D. Timbrook, S. Stuckey. S.

It is evident that Hicksville High School has plenty of that. All facts point to it; the most obvious being the increased size of the Hh)S Varsity Club. Boys from all sports — football, cross-country, bas- ketball, baseball and track — are eligible to be mem- bers of the Varsity Club. They must first have received two varsity letters in one of these sports. Mr. George Cherry, adviser to the club, supervises the selection for entry into this group. GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Meeting twice a month, members of the Girls ' Ath- letic Association learned advanced techniques of the various sports they studied during the year. They also attended a clinic on basketball at Bowling Green State University. The GAA volleyball, basketball and bowling teams participated in a league composed of area teams in- cluding Ayersville, Defiance, Fairview, hiicksville, hHol- gate, Napoleon, Stryker and Tinora. RIGHT: Seated at the head table of the GAA Spring Ban- quet are Kathy Neidhardt, Freida Brockelbank, Mrs, White, Superintendent White, Mrs. Slier and Diana Collins. 96 Crowned at the Spring Banquet was Miss GAA of 1968, Freida Brockelbank. hHer attendant was Kathy Neidhardt. These two outstanding GAA members were honored for their participation in club events and their contributions to the club. Officers for the 1967-68 school year were Freida Brockelbank, president; Diana Collins, vice president; Janet V honsetler, secretary; Brenda Rohrs, treasurer and Becky Brockelbank, pointkeeper. Adviser to the GAA is Mrs. Jean Slier. Senior Runners Break Time Record  - Under the supervision of Coach Robert Hootnnan, Hicksville ' s cross country team compiled record breaking runs on the two-mile course. Cross country running requires the participants to build up determination and endurance. The course in- cludes such feats as jumping over creeks and running over endless hills In v eather sometimes reaching 35 degrees. Practice for the Hicksvllle squad Includes running up and down railroad embankments and over any open field available. In its third year at HHhHS, the team has shown im- provement in league competition. Seniors Jim Little and Les Smith both broke the school time record by running the course In 12 minutes and 9 seconds. Ded- ication on the part of the other members was also a key factor In the success of the team. Vr Instructing two senior members of the team is Coach tHoot- man. The boys, Les Smith and Jim Little, tied for second place in the Green Meadows Cross Country Conference. FRONT ROW: B. Camp, T. Kimpet D. Beverly. SECOND ROW: J. Lit- tle, L Smith, W.
