Our free public school system has become our heritage through the labors and sacrihces of countless numbers of brave and uuseltish men and women of the past. To guard that heritage and to constantly improve thereon each school district regularly elects men or women to serve on its lcoal Board of Education. Men or women thus chosen assume a tremendous responsibility. They are, so to speak, the guardians of that communities' most precious possession-its children. No school board member wishes to pass on to his successor, a poorer school system than was passed on to him. Therefore, he is constantly challenged to improve his school's curriculum, methods of study, and general management. All the while, he must be courageous and alert, because his ellforts are constantly being challenged by those who are not interested in his school or his communities' children. Jackson-Liberty has always had men- able, courageous, strong, and willing to assume this responsibility and to work un- ceasingly for the improvement of her school. To you-Mr. jones, Mr. Kassiug, Mr. Grove, Mr. Kline, and Mr. Shultzfwe wish the very best of success in your efforts to meet every need and every challenge. Your remu- neration will be small-your thanks perhaps lesswbut your joy in doing well au important service will be your reward. We, the seniors, honor you, respect you, and thank you for all the courtesies, and services extended to us during our school days. Our Superintendent WHY ARE WE HERE? Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. H. G. Wells said that we are in a race between education and catastrophe. Sometimes it seems that people are determined to lie down like the hare and let catastrophe run on to the end of the course. We accomplish so much less than we might because we will not push ourselves to work and use the good and beautiful that are within our reach. We are heirs to the greatest heritage, ma- terial and spiritual, that was ever the good fortune of a people to inherit.Students of 1948, and those classes that follow, let's cherish it, use it to our growth and to the enrichment of all, and accomplish this great task by doing each clay a good job of learning, of living, and of helping our friends to do likewise. That is the task we were born to do. That is why we are here! Elmer E.

Like your' other teachers, I have been happy when you succeeded, and sad when you failed, but have never lost my faith in you or your ability to succeed. 'You go forth into a world filled with ser- vices to be performed. Assume your fair share and do your best to succeed. Your Alma Mater wishes you well and stands ever ready to help you.

Gradua tion will trulv be a milestone i , n our lives. Beginning with that evening, when we take our places on the stage in long, solemn looking robes, our lives will be, largely, what we want to make of them. Up until this time our class has been a unit: after commencement, our histories will be written in twenty-one separate books. VVe hope that all of us will be able to write interesting, happy, and useful stories. VVe hope that, as the ink dries, we will not feel that small blots on the pages of our lives, ruin the whole book. It is the next page that counts, It is the next page which we have to look forward to. Joy that we have finished the foreword of our book with some small degree of success . . . sorrow that so much is already behind us . . . regretful of our mistakes . . . thankful for our friends and good times.

Class History Having finally reached our destination after traveling through the vast sea of knowledge, I recall the many guides which we've had to steer us through the difficult channels of learning. As the ship's bell rang back in 1936, there were ll little sailors on deck eager to learn from Miss Caskie the first steps in sailing the sea. The sea was calm during our first lap. We were just learning the fundamentals of handling our ship. On our second voyage we found the sea somewhat rougher, but we also knew how to handle the ship better. Miss Hum- bert. our guide, was very capable of managing the ship. By the time Miss Myers and Miss Koons became our guides, on the third and fourth voyages, we had almost mastered the art of sailing. Stopping at our sixth port we were warned by our guide, Miss Caskie, to be careful of the many pitfalls of our remain- ing journey. At the seventh and eighth grade port Mr. Bricker and Miss Deliulis were there ready to guide us through the more diliicult waters. There was a transference of six sailors from our neighboring vessel The Kansas. They were planning to finish the cruise with us. The next stop was at Freshman Island, where we were duly initiated by the more experienced crew. Here we elected our ships co-captain, Mary Elaine Few and her sub-officers, Dick Sour, Vice Presidentg Mary Now, Secretary, and Bernice Brickner, Treasurer. They were to work with our captain, Mrs. Noderer. On this voyage Kyle Bigham was the district representative in the State F.F.A. speaking contest. Ann Kassing, Kyle Bigham, Dick Sour, and Mary Elaine Few participated in the Prince of Peace contest. Kyle Bigham participated in the music contest and Ann Kassing served as accompanist. Ann Kassing and Kyle Bigham had parts in the operetta. Kyle Bigham, Dick Sour, and Mary Elaine Few took part in the Student Council Play and Dick Sour also had a part in the one-act play. Seven of our boys went out for basketball. We continued on our journey until we arrived at The Sophomore Planet. We again called a class meeting and elected Dick Sour as our co-captain with his sub-ofiicers Mary Elaine Few, Vice President, Kathleen Wonderly, Sec- retary, and Bernice Frankart, Treasurer. This year they were to work with Miss Yarian. This proved to be very eventful. Basketball was the most favored sport, while baseball seemed to be a close runner-up. This year jack Weissinger was recognized as one of the first five on our varsity team. Mack Lanning, Dale Yoder, Dick Sigler, Dick Sour and Charles Russell helped to make the varsity team. LaVernon Brubaker went out for track. Kathleen Wonderly also served as one of our cheerleaders. We were well represented in the different organizations, such as F.F.A., F.H.A., Y-Teens, and Hi-Y. Ann Kassing was elected as the Y-Teen Treasurer and Garland Peeler as the F.H.A. Treasurer. Charles Russell held the position of F.F.A. Secretary. Again Kyle Bigham had a part in the operetta. He went to Blu ton, to compete in the district contest, with his Prince of Peace Declamation. Dick Sour, Ann Kassing, Kyle Bigham, Mack Lanning and Mary Elaine Few participated in the Student Council play. Kyle also had a part in the winning one-act play. Ann Kassing, Dick Sour, and Mary Elaine Few had roles in one of the minor one-act plays. S D3-ck Sour and Mary Elaine Few were on the Newshound I3 . We also had participants in the music contest-Ann Kas- sing and Kyle Bigham. On our third stop at The junior Peninsula we immed- iately elected Kathleen Wonderly as our co-captain. Her sub-officers were: Mary Few, Vice President: Garland Peeler, Secretary, and Ann Kassing, Treasurer. We were a pretty busy bunch. VVe could always be seen rushing around, hurry- ing to get a task completed. There was never a dull moment for us. The juniors made a good name for themselves on the basketball squad. jack Weissinger, Dick Sour, Buck Yoder, and Dick Sigler were on the first seven. Garland Peeler and Kathleen Wonderly were cheerleaders. Dick Sour, jack Baldwin, and Roy Few went out for track. Ann Kassing and Kyle Bigham were the associate editors for the school paper. Dick Sour, Kyle Bigham and Mary Elaine Few held oliices on the Student Council. We were well represented in the Honor Society, with Dick Sour and Mary Elaine Few holding oliices. Kathleen Wonderly and Bernice Brickner held oliices in the F.H.A. Mary Elaine Few was elected Vice President of the Y-Teens. jack Weissinger, Charles Russell, and Dick Sour held offices in the Hi-Y, with Dick as President of the club. Charles Russell and Dick Sour also held oliices in the F.F.A. Kyle Bigham had a part in the operetta. Kyle also went to the county contest with his Prince of Peace Declamation. Again Kyle had a part in the winning one-act play. He also went to the State with his dramatic reading and received superior rating. Dick Sour, LaVernon Brubaker and Charles Russell were in the Parliamentary Procedure contest. Kathryn Bachman, Kyle Bigham and Ann Kassing were in the music contest, with Ann and Kyle going to the state. We presented our class play toa capacity filled auditorium. Kyle Bigham was in debate. Dick Sour attended the State F.F.A. Camp. The junior-Senior prom was sponsored by the junior class. We made great progress this year under the guidance of Mrs. Cannavan. We are all beginning to realize that the end of our journey on the sea of knowledge is drawing near. But then in 1947 we were found wandering around on The Senior Continent. We chose Dick Sour as our co-captain. His sub-ofhcers were Mary Elaine Few, Vice 'Presidentg Ann Kassing, Secretary, and Roy Few, Treasurer. Mr. Kettler was our very capable leader. Basketball was again our most favored sport. jack Weis- singer, Dale Yoder, Dick Sour, Mack Lanning and Charles Russell were on the Varsity. Garland Peeler, again, was one of the cheerleaders. Jack Weissinger, Roy Few, Dick Sour and Bob Lanning -held oliices in the Hi-Y, with Jack Weissinger holding the position of President. Dick Sour was president of the F.F.A. and Charles Russell was secretary. Mary Elaine Few was president of the Y-Teens with Garland Peeler as secretary. Dick Sour, Mary Eaine Few, and Graland -eler held offices in the Student Council. Dick Sour was at its helm. Kyle Bigham was in Prince of Peace again. We were very proud of him as he went to the State Contest. Kyle Bigham and Dick Sour had major roles in the one- act play. We were represented in track and baseball.

Ann Kassing was Valedictorian of our class and Kyle Bigham was Salutatorian. hus the Senior Class leaves to follow their own chosen field in the world. We hope we shall succeed. Class Prophecy It was a peaceful summer day in 1958. I was trying to concentrate on darning my husband's stockings, when suddenly the doorbell rang. I was amazed to see that the caller was my old girl friend, Garland Peeler, whom I hadn't seen since graduation day, 1948. She told me that she was the owner of a fashionable girls' school in New York City. After we had finished talking about ourselves, I asked her if she knew anything about our classmates. She told me that Kyle Bigham was now known as King of the Metropolitan Opera, and that Ann Kassing had been touring Europe as a concert pianist and is now appearing at Carnegie Hall. I was very happy for them both. When Garland had to leave, I offered to drive her to Fostoria. On our way, I pointed out a neat little farm, with a rose covered cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lanning, the former Kathleen Wonderly, lived there with their two little children. Garland wanted to visit Kath- leen and Bob, so we drove in. Kathleen was very glad to see us, and soon we began discussing school days and classmates. Kathleen showed us the newspaper, pointing out the headlines, Richard Sour Elected Governor of Ohio. We knew that Dick would make a good politician some day. We decided to do some shopping when we arrived in Fostoria. We entered an exclusive dress shop, and much to our surprise, we were greeted by Bernice Brickner. She was the picture of a very successful business woman. She told us that she had owned the store for quite some time, and was now getting ready to become Mrs. Bernard Droll. We congratulated her, and then asked her if she knew about any of our classmates. She told us that Jack Baldwin has been appointed the new chief of the Atomic Energy Commission, and he left for New York to attend a United Nations meeting. Bernice also told us that Mary Elaine Few is in Hollywood, designing the famous stars' costumes, and that her brother Roy was a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. We knew they would be tops, as they were both popular in school. It was nearing train time, so we had to leave. VVe arrived at the station just as the train was pulling in. There was a group of people waiting for the train, when a handsome, blond man stepped down to the platform. Immediately people swarmed around him and photographers took his picture. When the crowd .had thinned 0 out, we recognized the celebrity as our own Jack Weissinger. We chatted with him and learned that he had just returned from a pro- fessional basketball game in Madison Square Garden. Garland had gotten so interested in Jack's explanation of professional basketball, that she missed her train. We decided to take a drive into the country, so she would have an oppor- tunity to see some of the places she remembered. As we drove along, we noticed a huge farm. The fertile acres stretched in wide expanses. When we noticed the barn, the name on it was Charles Russell, better known to us as Chuck. As we drove through Kansas, now a bustling little town of about 2000 population, we decided to get some ice cream. Much to our surprise, in the restaurant was Margaret Haughn. She told us that she was now Mrs. John Crowell, and that she and her husband owned the restaurant. We asked her if she knew anything about Buck Yoder and Mack Lanning. We learned that they were co-owners of the Tri-Weekly Express which runs through Kansas. She also told us that Kathryn Bachman is a Commercial teacher in the University of Fos- toria. VVe always knew that Kathryn would make a good teacher. We decided that we had better leave, so we told Margaret good-bye. As we were walking down Main Street of Kansas, we ran into Richard Sigler. He told us that he was the president of the Sigler Construction Company, and that they were building a new post-office in Kansas. We asked Dick if he knew anything about our former classmates. He said that Richard Miller was now a famous landscape artist, but was now doing extensive study in Europe. We knew Richard would make the grade. When we arrived in Fostoria, we decided to try F ostoria's new and most exclusive restaurant. The girl that took our order looked familiar and suddenly I recognized her as Eva Jean Russell. She told us that she was the manager of the restaurant, but it was owned by LaVernon Brubaker. LaVernon operated a chain of res- taurants over Ohio. We talked to Eva for a while, then we said our farewells and left. After Garland had boarded the train, I felt lonely. Then I thought of all my classmates, and was glad to know that they had made themselves so worthy and prominent. I was very happy and proud to be a member of the Class of 48.

We soon got back in the swing of things. Our first venture was the presentation of the junior Class Play. One success prompted us to others, VVe were seen selling concessions at basketball games, selling ice cream at noon and rushing around asking people to buy all-purpose cards. Another big event was the arrival of our junior Class rings. Are we proud! The juniors can well be proud for their showing in basketball and cheerleading. VVC also had the usual good representation in Y-Teens, Hi-Y, F.H.A., F.l7.A., Student Council, and Honor Society. We also bad representatives in Prince of Peace, One-Act Plays, Reading and Music Contests, and Debate. VVe entertained the Seniors at the Junior- Senior Banquet. The juniors would like to thank Mrs. Cannavan for her understanding and help as our adviser. Next year we'll greet you again, but as the DigniHed Seniors. l,Rl'lSll7liN'l'. . . l,ot-en Stumpp hvlfli Ihuasiin-1x't'. .

Ads were gathered early, and writers were appointed: nevertheless, there was a certain amount of confusion. The editor had a difficult job to make the pub- lishing of an annual a reality. Everyone worked at his assigned task with enthusiasm and diligence, as the class was anxious to pI1t out a yearbook. Co-operation was the key-note to success, and was neces- sary to produce an annual that will be a pleasure to read and keep. Newshound Staff r i A ji' i-:Q .

The publishing of a school paper is an important job, and the editor has to be on the alert and make his workers toe the mark, and he is very capable of making them do just that. There are many tasks to perform in order to make the Newshound possible-writing articles, drawing sketches and covers, typing dummy copies, typing stencils, mimeograph- ing, slip-sheeting, and finally putting the pages together. That is why such a large staff is needed. The Newshound Staff is not limited to Seniors only. It has workers from all the high school, including the seventh and eighth grades. The editor and his helpers are continually striving to make the Newshound a better, bigger, and more enjoyable paper to read.

L urelle Loomis The County Honor Society was organized several years ago under the guidance of former Superintendent Kreiger of the Bloom- ville schools. The purpose of the organization is to honor those who have met certain high standards and to encourage others to strive to become eligible for membership. The organization is a county-wide group. Therefore it is controlled by a County Council. The members of this council are the county superintendent of schools together with the superintendent of each local high school. Each year an adviser is appointed to work with the members of the group. This year the adviser is Carl Ashbaugh, superintendent of the Attica School. Students try hard to become eligible for admission into this society because of the very high esteem in which membership is valued by the community. Also, this mem- bership is very valuable to anyone wishing to enter college or to seek a responsible position.

Their selec- tion was Drums of Death, a mystery in three acts. The play was set in a half-ruined mansion on a desolate stretch of the Atlantic coast in the swampy southland of the United States.

The east kept the audience laughing all evening, this alone should speak clearly concerning the success of the play. The characters were well Seated: Mead Smith, Patsy Cunninghm, Beverly Sour, Loren Stumpp, Louise Myer, Dave ll portrayed and the play was carefully directed. Many hours of work went into the play, but it was worth it. The play was truly an enjoyable production.

Our one-act play this year is considerably ditlerent from any we have presented for some time. The period is about nineteen hundred and the outstanding characteristic ot the play is the fact that there is a play within the play- an old fashioned melodrama. It is safe to say that it was enjoyed by all who saw it. The name of the play is Town Hall Tonight. It was selected as our contest vehicle from a group of three plays presented in December. The casts all worked hard and were all highly complimented by the judge. As the Blue and Gold goes to press we are eagerly awaiting the outcome of our efforts. Debate Vondale Swaisgood, Patty Roth, Catherine Keller, Don Ecker. The question for debate this year was: Resolved-That the Federal Government should require arbitration of labor disputes in all basic American industries. The speech class spent many interesting hours discussing and debating this question. Three members of the regular team, however, were from outside the class. Schools which participated in the tournament were: Bettsville, Attica, Republic, Old Fort, Bloomville, and Jackson- Liberty. This tournament was held at our school March second. jackson-Liberty tied with Old Fort for tirst place, making them eligible for state competition. Parliamentary Procedure Standing: jim Ponn, john Brickner, jim Stull, jim Snyder, Mr. Austermiller. Seated: Don Ecker, Wayne Baker, Paul Stahl, Dick Sour, Loren Stumpp, Mead Smith. The F.F.A. team in parliamentary pro- cedure, made up of ten members, came through with a gold award which adds another gold bar to the plaque in the agri- cultural room. This is the third consecutive year, that they have received the top award. The contest was held at Oak Harbor this year, and the jackson-Liberty team received special comments from the judge for their efficiency. This year's team was made up mostly of Juniors so we expect them to carry on next year. In addition, a team composed only of Freshmen and Sophomore F.F.A. members competed in a county contest.

Paul Stahl DickS Mack Lanning Letterrnen A Varsity JACK WEISSINGER jack has played three of his four years on the first five. jack's position on the lineup will be a hard one to fill. He was a player his teammates could always depend upon and he could always bc counted on to come through in a tight spot. A finer sportsman than jack will be hard to find. DICK SOUR Diminutive but dynamic describes our south- paw forward. Dick's scoring ability estab- lished him as a constant threat. Rounding out his second year of varsity competition, Dick will long be remembered for his clean all around play. As a senior, Dick leaves a key spot which will not be easily filled. DALE YODER Buck was a Senior this year. He won a varsity letter as a junior. He was a fine defensive player and broke up many an opponent's offense. Buck was left-handed and always managed to connect with a few long shots. His fighting spirit was invaluable to the team. Zi ,Pin iii JIM STULL jim was a junior this last year, playing his second year on the varsity. He was the high scorer on the team this year. Jim's height and back-board work are the two greatest factors contributing to his success. His ability will lead jackson-Liberty to many victories next year. PAUL STAHL Paul was a Junior this year. He came to jackson-Liberty from Risingsun and this was his first year of basketball here. His good guarding ability was an asset to both the reserves and the varsity. Paul won his varsity letter this year and much will be expected of him next year. MACK LANNINC Mack moved up from the reserves in the middle of the season to play on the first team and has proven to be very capable. lVlack's place on the varsity will be a hard one to fill. His ability to cooperate will long be cherished by his teammates. LOREN STUMPP Loren was a junior who has played one year as a varsity player. He kept the opposition guessing with his faking and one hand shots from the foul lirie. His playing at Old Fort proved that he will be a very talented player next year.

These girls led cheers Garland Wanda Beverly enthusiastically, spurring the boys onward. For the first time in our county a trophy was given for excellence in cheerleading.

The classes of 1939, 1940, and 1941 pledged their school gift toward this project. The amount of their pledge was 35148.31 However, before a satisfactory board was agreed upon, there was a raise in price. This made the amount inadequate. Then came the war and a period when no electric boards were ma nufact ured . The class of 19417 became interested and donated 3150.00 for this project. In September of this year a board was purchased for 55319.30 plus installation. Al- though the board was delivered too late for this season, it has now been installed and will be ready for next season. In behalf of the student body, we wish to thank the classes of 1939, 1940, 1941, and 1947 for this hne gift. O. J.
