CLASS HISTORY Ihen the doors of the schoollxouse opened in the year 1937, twenty-one first grade pupils walked nervously up the stairs to their room. Here are the names of those nervous 'kidsms Becky Husted, Laura Sprague, Helen Snyder, Peter Smith, Tommy Perkins, Norman Herringshaw, James Mapes, Karl Seedorf, Norman Kirkendall, David Bright, Kern Ackerman, Clifford Courtney, Nancy Leatherman, Elsie Kauffman, Marilyn Sm1th,' Hildegard Miller, Robert Krohn, Robert Dahms, Dick McCormic, Johnny Kline, and Norman Gallant. Soon most of us were at ease because Miss Buhler, our teacher, had a happy smile for everyone. During the year Helen Snyder, Elsie Kauffman, and Robert Krohn withdrew from our grade. Even though we did lose those three members, Mary Ellen Buchanan, Janet Norden, and Ervin Roberts moved here and took their places. Miss Alban greeted us as our second grade teacher, One member, Evelyn Davis, had joined our ranks and two, Norman Kirkendall and Norman Gallant, had left us. Hildegard Miller also left us later. P lho should be sitting at the desk of our third grade teacher but lies Buhler! Tommy Perkins and David Wright withdrew from our class during this school term. Miss Mercer was our fourth grade teacher. Norman Kir- kendall and Evelyn Davis moved away. Our class was divided into two groups when we reached the fifth grade. Half of us went to Miss Van Dorn and the other half went to Miss Mercer. Several new members joined us this year. They were: Eric Campos, Teofilo Doria, Joan lcbowell, Jean Nye, and Donna Godlove. The next year Jim Anderson increased our number by one, and Janet Norden, Mary Buchanan, Kern Ackerman, and Ervin Roberts decreased it by three. Miss Van Dorn, was our sixth grade teacher. ' Then came our seventh year of schooling. le were all very happy because we were downstairs' with the high school students. lies Leathers was chosen as our class advisor. Jean Nye and Ned Rader did not report to school this year. Esther Patton and Geraldine Sheeks were the twcfnee members. Our eighth grade class advisor was Miss Leathers. Dur- ing this year Geraldine Sheeks moved away and Jim Anderson quit school. Coontinued on page BJ 7 CLASS HISTORY Ccontinued from page 75 And then, at last, when we were in the ninth grade the time had come when we were considered full--fledged ahigh school k1ds.' Miss lagner, our class advisor, quit teaching, and we chose Mr. Fruth to succeed her. The following nfreshies' were elected class officers: President - Robert Dahms Vice-President - John Kline Secretary - Marilyn Smith Treasurer - Nancy Leatherman Clarance Rader increased our number to twelve. In our sophomore year Laura Sprague moved to Warren and Clarence Rader quit school. Jean Nye, who had previously moved away, returned to our class. We elected the following class officers and advisor: President - John Kline Vice-President - Marilyn Smith Secretary-Treasurer - Nancy Leatherman Advisor - Mr. Moorhead What a thrill it was to order our class rings this year! And what an even bigger thrill to receive our class rings on the very first day of our junior year! Our class officers and advisors were: President - Marilyn Smith Vice-President - Robert Dahms Secretary - Nancy Leatherman Treasurer - Donna Godlove Advisor - Mr. Moorhead v Jean Nye moved away and Mary Karfit joined us as a new member of our class. Ih the latter part of the year Johnny Kline quit school and joined the Navy. Our class play, NFeud1n' in the H11ls,n directed by Mr. Moorhead and Miss Miller, was well attended. As ways of earning money for our class trip, we sold refreshments at the basketball games, collected sales tax stamps, sold Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and stationery, and paid class dues. On May 14 we honored the seniors with a banquet at the Phoenix Hotel in Findlay, and later attended a movie. Ccontinued on page 93 8 Ccontinued from page BJ And now, here we are--Seniors! It is amazing to think that we are this far ln life. About the third week of this school year we elected class officers and a sponsor: President - Kenny Stearns Vice-President - Robert Dahms Secretary - Marilyn Smith Treasurer - Donna Godlove Sponsor - Mrs. Leatherman There were several highlights this year: On October 20 we had our senior class pictures taken at D1cken's Studio in Fostoria, our senior class play, nThe Case of the Missing Heirs,n was presented on November 253 Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Leatherman extended their hospitality for our class Christmas party on December 23. Shortly after school is out the crown- ing event of our school days will take place--our trip to Washington, D. C. We plan to leave May 25. Now that our high school education is finished each one will go on his own way to meet nLife's School of Experience.n The memories of Jackson High School will always remain near and dear to each heart. 4 4 a 4 5 CLASS PROPHECY --Donna Godlove Early this year--1960--I decided to visit my former classmate, Nancy Leatherman, who resides in Palm Beach, Flor- ida. Since I had just bought a new helicopter and was a licensed pilot, I decided to make the journey from California in it. . u On my way I was listening to the radio and heard afamil- lar voice announce the song that his orchestra was going to play. Imagine that! The voice was that of Richard McCormic! After these many years he had finally achieved great fame as an orchestra leader. It seems he was now called Xavier Cugat, II. Such fame! My appetite was on a rampage by this time so I decided to stop at Tuscon, Arizona, for a bite to eat. Upon landing at the airport, my attention was attracted by a cozy little lunchroom advertising french fries, which I just can't resist T he waitress appeared and who should it be but my old school pal, Marilyn Smith CDrummerJ. She took my order and handed it to Jim, the head chef, and then, since we had so much to Ccontinued on page 105 9 Qcontinued from page 95 talk about, she joined me for lu ch. She said that Jim was head chef until he would leave for spring training with the Cleveland Indians. Upon learning of my intention to spend the night in Tuscon, she informed me of the 'Seedorf's lbdern Hotel, owned and operated by Karl Seedorf. we spent an enjoyable evening dancing in the 'Blue Room, a new addition to the hotel, and recalling school days. I felt happy as I left Tuscon in the early afternoon-- it was a beautiful day, and it had been so good to see some of my friends from Jackson. Austin, Texas, where I was going to spend the night, was reached in no time. The helicopter needed refueling, but little did I dream Fate would play a part. Who should be the proprietor of the combination garage and gas station nearby but Ken Stearns, now a married man. I had to have my hair set that evening so could not accept his kind invitation to dine with him. He told me of a beauty shop in Austin in which I would be interested. It was known as 'Hary's Beauty Parlor,' and was operated by none other than lary Karfit. Mary and I had a long chat, of course, during which I discovered that she was a whiz at hair styling. She was looking forward to the opening of her secondshop the following week. The Mardi Gras in New Orleans was the next scheduled stop. I was having lunch in a French cafe when a dashing 'Don Juan' walked in. Who should it be but Bob Dahms, the prosperous New York bachelor who owned several airplane factories in New York and Detroit. Surprising enough, how- ever, he had never married due to misunderstanding with Pat Thatcher. The Mardi Gras was gay andtshrilling, but Palm Beach was my destination. Nancy was surprised the next evening about dusk when I landed my helicopter near hers. During dinner we had a delightful discussion of old school pals. Just recently Nancy had gone back to Hoytville and while changing trains in Cincinnati had met Esther Patton. Esther, who had become an efficient secretary in the National Bank of Cincinnati, was on her way home to announce her engagement to a promising interior decorator. In Deshler they had met Pete Smith, who was on vacation from his astronomer's position at Greenwich Observatory in England. In answer to my inquiry, Nancy told me that her future plans were to finish the law course and pass the examination for admittance to the bar. The time in Palm Beach passed quickly--it always does when good friends get together. And now, I must solo back to California, but from there on the flight is duo! 10 LAST WILL AND TESTAH NT O THE SENIGR CLASS GF 1949 le, the Senior Class of 1949 of Jackson High School, Village of Hoytville, County of Wood, State of Ohio, being of sound mind and having reached the end of our school days, do declare this to be our last will and testament. we, the Senior Class er '49, 1111: ,' nn.

This musical revolves around a farm boy, Bobby, who makes a place for himself on Broadway. A picture of the cast is on page 20, 'She louldn't Believe' was presented by the grade students on December 25. Just as the name implies, this was about a little girl who d1dn't believe in Santa Claus and Christmas. The operetta was under the direction of Mrs. Leatherman, who was assisted by the grade teachers. One picture of this cast is also on page 204 another is on page 19. lhen the second semester rolled around, we dis- covered that three new music teachers had been added to the faculty: lr. Malay, voiceg Irs. Pfaender, piano and accordion, and Mr. George, band. Mr. Haley is planning on presenting 'loonlight Min- strels,' a minstrel show, in the spring. Mrs. Pfaender gives lessons on the piano and accor- dion every Friday at a cost of five dollars a month to the student. Our band is slowly but surely progressing under the guidance of Mr. George. Eventually we hope to have a marching band. ZZ LIBRARY NEWS Each year finds changes and additions to our library.

I don't ask for any place in the lineupg play me where you need me. I only ask for the stuff to give You a hundred percent of what I get. If all the hard drives come my way I thank You for the compliment. Help me to remember that You won't let anything come that You and I together can't handle. And help me to take the bad breaks as part of the game. Help make me thankful for them. nAnd, God, help me always to play on the square, no matter what the other players do. Help me to come clean. Help me to see that often the best part of the game is helping other guys. Help me to be a 're ular fellown with the other players. 8 'F1nally, God, if fate seems to uppercut me with both hands and Ilm laid up on the shelf in sick- ness or old age, help me to take that as part of the game also. Help me not to whimper or squeal that the game was a frameup or that I had a raw deal. When in the dusk I get the final bell, I ask for no lying, complimentary stones. I'd only like to know that You feel I've been a good guy.n --Chaplain's Digest 36 -abfil - gig: i ig : QAM V Q2 5 M - :aff tg va 447, L.
