Seadafadaaa Wdatcwq One eventful day in September 1940, thirty-four of us, scared, happy, or resigned, started our school days at Holmes-Liberty. Miss Jessie Shoaf had a big job teaching us not only the three R's but the beginnings of good citizenship. Miss Doris Green was our second grade advisor while Miss Belva Clary led us through our third year of school. In the fourth grade Mrs. Daryl Gatchell was our patient teacher, Mrs. Robert Cook was our fifth grade instructor, and in the sixth grade, we had our first man teacher, Mr. Ulmer. On reaching the seventh grade, our first thought was, Now half of our school years are over. With the added responsibilities of electing class officers and having class parties, we felt that we were really growing up. In the fall of '49 thirty-three members moved into the freshmen class. We had look- ed forward to the time when we could join the various clubs and participate in the dif- ferent sports, but one thing that we dreaded was initiation. Soon, however, this was over. and much to our surprise, it hadn't been so bad. We were now full-fledged members of the high school. As Sophomores we could look down on the freshmen and laugh at them. We now had a large number of our group represented in the different sports, band, choir, and other organizations. We had twenty-five members in our class and all helped plan the big event of the year, the Sophomore Hop. With twenty -five members and Mr. Opfer as advisor, we began our Junior year at H-L. We found many ways to earn money for our treasury: selling ice cream,Christmas cards and stationery, picking corn, and hauling away tin cans from school. We were asked to help publish the Annual and gladly co-operated in this big job. We were very happy and excited when the day came to choose our class rings. After receiving our rings, we felt one step closer to graduation. We gave our Junior Play Beauty and the Beef on March 16. One of our biggest problems was planning and sponsoring the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at the Y.M.C.A. in Bucyrus and featured a completely new idea, a five piece orchestra. Now as Seniors, we know we have attained the highest plane in school, a level to which every student looks forward. We have many disagreements with the teachers, but the process of smoothing them out is also a most vital step for us. As a senior, each person should get all he can out of school for this will be his last chance to do his best with the group. On September 26, we went to Fostoria to the Dicken Studio to have our pictures ta- ken. Most of us feel that these pictures will be a life-long remembrance of our great- est year in school. On October 19, we presented our Senior play, a three-act comedy called Boarding House Reach . Every member of the class had a part in the play and thanks to Mrs, Schieber, it proved a success not only from the standpoint of acting but financially as well. On October 27, we went to Bowling Green, accompanied by some of the teachers, to see Bowling Green beat Ohio Wesleyan in football. What a day! Rain and sunshine! We still are busy with plans for commencement, class memorial and class trip to complete. We realize the training we have received will soon have to be put to a real test as we start out into the world completely on our own, and we hope that next year, as you look at our pictures hanging on the study hall wall, you will remember that we went through school to graduation, day by day, do ing our best. If our activities and achieve - ments remind you pleasantly of the class of'52 we will be completely satisfied. ll
