A , Foreword ll The Compass points ..... 'X I Our direction - world peace Q V So many Gods so many creeds so many paths that I N wind and wind while Just the art of being kind is all this sad world needs. Pondering on these few chosen words, we readily be- some aware of the message they convey. Yet, we're blind -we humans. Aye! So many Gods, so many religions that we blind ourselves to the utter reality that there are no Gods, but only one God. There is and can be but one, though he has a million names. My God is your God, your faith is my faith, my hope is your hope, and in His eyes we too are one. Aye! We're blind-we humans. So many creeds, so many colors, so many tongues that we indeed cannot see our likeness. Can we deny the like- ness of our fears and loves, or our ultimate destinies as well as the final judgment of our souls at our life's termination? We are all one family-we humans. Yet there are so many paths that wind and wind and twist and turn that we cannot help but confess ourselves lost. These paths are plotted, formed, and so deeply hallowed by years of traditions and customs, that we have little choice but to follow them. If only we humans can succeed in com- bining these innumerable paths into a common path, our hope for eternal peace may some day be realized. This common path is being formed in the United Nations. If the peo- ples oflthe earth follow this path, without deviating, they will reach its des- tination of peace. Unfortunately, the path is steep and long and cannot be traveled alone. Each people, each nation traveling the upward grade must help and sacrifice for its fellow travelers so that they may reach the sum- mit, where they will find the gate of peace. Should one link of this chain of nations weaken or break, the dream of peace will be lost and the nations will tumble down to destruction. It is the duty of our generation to make this chain strong so that our dream of peace may be realized. Remember, we-the people-hold the key which will unlock the gates of peace. 3 Contents Foreword ..,......,............... .,,,,,..,.. ...,.,,,,,,,A.,,. . , , Administration .,.,.,..,..,,.,.,.,,.,..,.,,,.,.,,, Superintendent, Principal, Faculty .........,...........,........,.....,.....,.,.,,,,,..,,.,i,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, Students ..............................

General-Class Play 3, 4 28 Senior Class History 1 The fall of nineteen hundred and forty- 'ly Qx? , tering Jefferson. This class was led by l Charles Hiegel, president, and his helpers, Dolores Burkholder, vice president: Jerry Sheaffer, secretary and treasurerg and Ralph Bohn, sergeant-at-arms. Among the school activities enjoyed were class par- ties, G.A.A., Y-Teen, band, choir, basket- f -,S ball, football, and baseball. 4' -- We assembled the next fall, to find that ' some had left our happy throng and a few new faces added. Our class president was Paul Hiegelg our vice president, Patty Metcalfe, our secretary, Patty Wells, our treasurer, Janice Linderg and out sergeant-at-arms, Melvin Jones. This year we had two semi-formal parties at which we played games, danced, and had refreshments. Our Junior year was a year of decision. We selected our class flower, the iris, our colors, the colors of the rainbowg and our motto: Character is the cornerstone of all success. Enjoyed by all who attended was our class play For Pete's Sake. Another event of the year was the prom. Five of our members were inducted into the National Honor Society. Class offi- cers were: President, Nick Checklesg vice president, Weldon Brown: secre- tary, Evelyn Humphreys 5 treasurer, Martha Nash, sergeant-at-arms, Charles Hiegel. Just think! We are now seniors after four years of toil. This has been a year for football with the team winning a trophy. Our class ofiicers were John Reed, presidentg Avenell Jones, vice president, Patty Metcalfe, secre- taryg Paul Druckemiller, treasurerg Don Sterling, sergeant-at-arms. The name of our class play was The Visitor. All of us looked forward to the prom, Baccalaureate and Commencement. The prom, which had as its theme the Rainbow, was a colorful affairg and Commencement and Baccalaureate were solemn and memorable. gl: four found a group of eager freshmen en- lkuf Lf- 9 Q A l 5 X I ' Senior Class Prophecy One day as I sat in my study, I thought of my former classmates whom I had not seen for twenty years. Suddenly overcome with a fierce desire to see them all again, I departed into my laboratory and turned on the Elec- tric Eye, my latest invention. Delphos was very different. As a traveled down the streets fvisually of coursej I came to the Morris Super Station. The building was now all glass, and the roof was a landing for airplanes. Nancy was up there servicing a plane. Standing near was Robert Tigner, a very famous Fuller brush man. He seemed to have much trouble talking as he had a large cigar between his teeth. From this level I surveyed the surrounding country. I noticed a large structure. This I recognized to be a state hospital for the insane. At the entrance was a plaque which dedicated the building to Evelyn Humphreys for her outstanding work in the field of nursing. Inside was the oflice of 29 Nick Checkles, psychiatrist. Assistants to him were John Reed and Paul Hiegel. Their job was to strap down inmates. Sighting a cloud of smoke I quickly switched the Eye to the north end of town. Disappointment had its day for it was nothing but the A. C. and Y. Limited pulling in. Engineer Bohn was at the throttle while Fireman Johnson was busily shoveling coal. Alighting from the train was the Zollner Piston basketball team accompanied by their star player, Albert Metcalfe. Near the roundhouse was a billboard which read, Are you tired? Need pep? Try Charles Hiegel's Golden Medical Prescription. Pasting on new signs was Norma Kohorst. The new signs read, Joyce Kiggens for Congress. The eye turned back to Main street. It penetrated the walks of the Capitol. The matinee had just begun, and on the screen I beheld Gerry Myers singing a duet with Rudolph Wurst, the outstanding boy soprano of our day. I noticed a huddled group in the back of the theater. The Eye focused on Head Usher Druckemiller Cstill hoping to become a noted mu- sician.J He was looking for a diamond pin which had accidently been knocked from heiress Elizabeth Kortier's hair. It had happened as Dolores Burkholder and her husband left to do the evening chores. Near the theater I found the Buettner, Blockberger, and Brown Beauty Solon. Margaret, Ella Rose, and June were all quite busy attending to cus- tomers. At the front of the shop was a large poster which said You too may have that wavy look. See what our treatments did for Byron. Under- neath the ad was a picture of Byron which had been taken by that well- known photographer, Herman Mox. ,Upon leaving the theater I spied a bus on which was written Delphos- Gomer Transit Company, sole owner and operator Ruth Ricker. In the ve- hicle was Grace Fethers enroute to her home near Gomer. Walking along the street in her uniform was Chief of Police Allemeier. She was accompanied by Mayor Ralston. He had left the farm. He pur- chased his city property of Janice Linder who is now receptionist of Dr. Weldon Brown. His assistant and nurse is Martha Nash. Near by I chanced to encounter a huge neon sign which read Barnes Dairy, the home of contented cows. Inside was Gerald Shaw, chief ice cream dipper and dishwasher. Passing on down the street I caught sight of the Scandal Sheet,', ed- ited by Chloris Theobald. On the front page was the large caption, Benson and Jones Dancing Academy, round and square. I knew then that Bea and Avenell had reached the height of their ambitions. Traveling on I encountered a huge construction company financed by those two noted brokers, Bob Dancer and Melvin Jones. Located a few blocks away was Rahrigs Resort. This was a hotel and cafe combined. Patty Metcalfe fno longer working at Bob'sD was busily putting pancakes on the griddle for John Schumaker, a retired banker, who made his home at the Resort The Eye then switched to the outskirts of town. To the south I saw a huge farm. It was owned by Bill Mullenhour. The buildings were ultra- modern. Harold Ladd had designed them. He also supervised the decorating of the former Patty Wells home in Spencerville. Just then Don Sterling came whizzing down the highway in a new International dump truck. Quite satisfied with my observations I summoned my butler, Paul Dunlap, and ordered him to snap off the Eye and bring my lunch. Doris Edds 80 Iunior Class Histor Y In the year nineteen hundred and ' forty-six, sixty-two freshmen entered our proud high school. This was the class of '49. We got to work early and elected Char- lotte Brenneman, president, Ruth Mox, vice-presidentg June Metcalfe, secretaryg 4 0' Mary Lou McKee, treasurer, Cyrile Gres- s ' sel, sergeant-at-arms. We felt we were X pretty big, as most freshmen do. After a pleasant vacation, we, now soph- omores, returned to D.H.S. Our class ofii- cers were: Edgar Bonham, presidentg John Hittle, vice presidentg Alice Limbrecht, secretaryg Jim Moreo, sergeant-at-arms. Q, 4 Now we have at last completed our jun- ' ior year. It has been an eventful year. The class play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, was a success. We entertained the seniors at a Rainbow Prom. We chose Cardinal red and Hunter green as our class colors, as our flower we selected the Lily of the Valley. Our motto states, Be sure you're right, then go ahead. Sophomore Class History In September of nineteen hundred and H forty-six we entered the Delphos Public , 3 High School as freshmen. Ah! but we were ' X J l proud to have reached this point. The class f ofiicers for the year were: Tim Rousos, A 'H--3-,I presidentg Richard Eleyet, vice presidentg I a an secretary, Roger Browng sergeant-at-arms, Edward Nash. We enjoyed two class par- ties under the supervision of our home 8 room teachers, Miss Hart and Mr. Koch. -at -- N ow we have completed our sopho- C ' more year. Class officers for this year were: Bill Paul, president: secretary-treas- urer, Mary Gudakunst. Sports provided in- terests to both the boys and girls this year. Among our other interests were parties, Y-Teens, band, and choir. Our class has been the winner of the magazine campaign in both the freshman and sophomore years. As winners we received all the ice cream we would eat-what a delight! Freshman Class History On September 2, 1947, a new Fresh- an man class entered the portals of Jefferson. ' One of the first things they did was to elect class officers. Ramon Vasquez was chosen ... to lead the class. Assisting him were Las- 4 aro Vasquez as Vice-President, Nelson -Ig. f Sanders as Secretary, Robert Knapp as 'Iq- Treasurer, and Robert McDonald as Ser- M geant-at-arms. f' v Being an ambitious class, they soon joined in the activities of Jefferson, some of these being G.A.A., Y-Teens, library, chorus, and band. Most of the boys partici- , -. pated in athletics. One member, Ramon B '51 Vasquez, won a D in football. The class party which was held on April 2, was well attended. Now don't get the im- pression that all they thought about was fun, for they were well repre- sented on the honor roll. They are eagerly looking forward to their next three years at J efferson. 31 EH Iuniors President-Robert Violet Vice President-Eddie Sterling Secretary-Ruth Mox Treasurer-Cyrile Gressel Sgt.-at-Arms-Edgar Bonham Neil Allen Norma Arnold Ann Baer Roy Maker Emogene Barnes Kenneth Bartz Richard Baxter Edgar Bonham Marilyn Brenneman Eugene Bryan Dorothy Buettner Ellis Buettner Bobbie Cavencler Eugene Culp Lawrence Curtis Rolland Fair Fred Feathers Velma Foster Helen Fought Patty Frost 32 Cyrile Cresscl Larry Hayward Helen Himmegar John Hittle Milton Hoover Robert Irick Marion Jettinghoff Arthur Ladd Alice Limbrecht George Lucas Dale Matson Carl Matzen Mary Lou McKee June Metcalfe James Moreo Ruth Mox Robert Parrott Ronald Rice William Richey Arthur Sheeter Edward Sterling Roger Stopher Arthur Trentman Betty VanDcMark Robert Violet Leonard Weaver 33 5-1 Sophomores Ofiicers: Pres.-Bill Paul Vice Pres.-Mary Gud xkunst Sgt.-at-Arms-Elbert Butler Gene Best Jim Bilimek George Brandehoif Roger Brown Marguerite Burgess Elbert Butler Tom Buzzard Eugene Claypool Jola Craig Joyce Crede Jeannette Culp Byron Davey William Dolt Wanda Downs Romaine Dray Richard Tleyet Waanataa Fox John Freund Jack Fulton Richard Gallespie Edward Granger Mary Gudakunst 34 Earl Himmeger Betty Howard William Jarman Elizabeth Jones Wanda Kerns Norma Kramer Larry Kurtz Charles Link Joe Martin Wilbur Matzen Carol Sue Maxson Beverly Mericle Robert Miller Martina Mittermaier Eddie Nash Avonelle Paul Billy Paul Norman Point Robert Rahrig Robert Rinehart Tim Rousos Florence Schroeder John Schroeder Donald Smith Ruth Snider Marilyn Strayer Grace Violet Richard Wagner 35 Freshmen President-Ramon Vasquez Vice President-Lasaro Vasquez Secretary-Nelson Sanders Treasurer-Bob Knapp Sgt.-at-Arms-Robert McDonald Bruce Allen Charles Bardo Robert Baxter Eleanor Briggs Edna Buettner Betty Butler Patty Carmean Jane Cavender Janet Coon Suzanne DeYVeese Robert Diltz Donald Ditto Norman Fair John Feathers Robert Fought Rita Friend Betty Grunden Richard Hiegel Margret Hilvers Bobbie Hohenbrink John Hoover Donald Jacomet Neil Jettinghoff 36 Molvin Johnson .Iamos Kiggins Robert Knapp Edwin Iiindomun William Martin Robvrt McDonald Kenneth Metzger Mac Miller Elhvl Mox Donald Moore Lulu Mullon Dolores Mullonlioui Anno Myors .lolin l'zlvvl Carol l'owoll Nornizln Rico Nolson Sznnlers Rita Shaw l 1'z1nklin Sllvvtor Mary Sterling Rolmurt Sta-wzwt l'lzn'ol1l Stnttlvi' Carol Smith Jack Swick Lzisuro Vasquez Ramon Vnsquoz Clmrlvs Violct Doris Weuvvi' llarlvno Wells William Wilcox Mvlvin Wrveclo l'lI'2lllCOS Wurst Bill l'll'ilt,ll0l'S Marvin Lucas .7,.. .JI Eighth Grade Jeanette Allemeier Paul Allemeier Stanley Allen .lohn Baer Margaret Bilimek Ronald Boberg Carol Jean Bohn Billie Jo Brittingham Shirley Bryant Donald Buckles Glenna Buzzard Gordon Carmean Donald Claypool .lames Dancer Marjorie Dray Mary Lou Druckemiller Lois Fair Norma Feathers Velma Granger Catherine Gudakunst William Heitzman Lee Himmeger Amelia Hittle Richard Iliff Robert Iliff Ronald Jacomet Thomas Johnson George Kerns William liissell William Kohorst Richard Kuhn Gerald Ladd Donald Link Elaine Mericle Mildred Metzger Rebecca Myrice Francis Pedersen Wanda l'oint Carol Renner .lane Schroeder Kenneth Shaffer .loan Sourwine Barbara Sterling Ronald Strayer Carl Stocklen Charles Stocklen Marilyn Swick Shirley Swick Patt ' Lou Tarter Winired Teman Mary Lou Tigner Russell Wallace Mary Westervelt Darrell Wiechart Ronald Young absent-Betty Baker 38 Seventh Grade Arlene Allen Betty Allenbaugh Robert Alexander Donald Baze Phyllis Blymyer .lohn Brenneman Roger Briggs Helen Brinkman Donald Brubaker Mary Bryan Paul Bryan Rita Uarmean Raymond Cross Ronald Culp Sally Dienstberpger Mary Ellen Diltz Uonstance Fritz Lavern tlonyea Gordon tiudakunst .lay llinton David liiggins lieith liiggills .Iudith Kissell Shirley Lause Joan Lloyd John Lloyd Joan Louth Paul Louth Ronald Mericle William Mericle Mary .lane Myers Robert Miller Eunice Mittermaier Ronald Moreo Ann Mox Catherine Pavel Patty Pavel Millicent Pedersen Robert Poling Helen Rahrig Dolores Redmon Marna Renner Orlen Schlatman Dolores Scott, George Sterling Ray Sterling Donnabelle Stocklen Edna Stocklen John 'l'heobald Barbara 'l'i1.-:ner James Vanllemark Ernestine Vasquez JoAnne Welch l'liIl'ord WVells Robert Wolfe Mary Wreede Marilyn Young: 39 uv ssgigglf wma M-ff .ws 6 f E P' w . 5 cj , . .H x I U A W , ,Nr K 'X s an -f 'Q Q X 1 Y' 5 i arm: K4 ,M .Q 4, ff w, 3 'X' ?

The band, under the capable direction of Mr. Hugh Williams, has made much progress in concert as well as marching band. During the entire football season, the band made formations for all home games and journeyed to one out-of-town game, Ada. They were given very much praise for the fine work in the gridiron season. The band had a very fine showing at the solo and ensemble contest at Bowling Green University. They were represented by the Horn quartet with Gerry Myers, Martina Mittermaier, Sue Maxson, and Elizabeth Jones. Another group was the Clarinet Quartet consisting of Doris Edds, Ruth Ricker, Patty Wells, and Avenell Jones. The Senior Band went to the Contest this year at Ohio Northern Uni- versity at Ada, April the 18th. They selected three numbers to play at con- test: The Delores Waltz, Dreadnaught, and Two Moods. The Band now has new uniforms and raincoats. The uniforms are red and white, very colorful, and give the band a very snappy look. 47 Third row Coach Koch, John Reed, Richard Rahrig, Richard Wagner, Robert lriek.

She has never doubted that he will return, and his stepfather has offered a 310,000 reward for news of him. The town gossips believe that Bud's friend Joe killed him and that his body was swept out to sea. Joe has grown embit- tered and Ellen whom he loves has been sent away to school by her parents. Then Bud reappears. He was 1-4 when he left-he is nov 17. He do :sn't ask about his dog-he says he lost his signet ring, which Judith had had espe- cially made for him. And then, he suddenly finds it. His right hand is bandaged, and he lies about the doctor having examined it. Again and again, his stories just don't hang together! Judith's brother, Walter, de- clares Bud is an imposter, planning to collect Bud's inheritance. The situa- tion becomes more sinister when an attempt is made on Judith's life, and from there the tension mounts swiftly to the exciting finale when the step- father is apprehended for the attempt on Bud's life.

This marked the first time in the history of the school that a Wildcat team exfgzr earned the privilege of being presented with a trophy by league o cia s. The season started slowly for the locals as they had a green and inex- perienced team. It was proven in the first three games of the year, however, that it was a determined bunch playing for Delphos High. As the season rolled on, it became apparent to the fans who followed the team that it was decidedly improving. The team as a whole, learned fast and each game they played showed the effects of their new-found knowledge. Thus they went down to the last game of the year, to battle on the home gridiron for the league championship. The captain of the team was chosen soon after the season ended. The player elected was Nick Checkles, who played a fine game as full back. The team elected him as they felt a better choice could not be made. At a school assembly, later in the year, two trophies were presented to the school by the captain, on the behalf of the team. was presented and was promptly set in the trophy case, being the first one ever to be put there for gridiron achievements. The other award, the Chamber of Commerce trophy, was also presented in appreciation for the fine work done by the team. A fine season for a fine team. Seniors playing their last game were: 1 Paul Heigel, Chuck Heigel, Albert Met- calfe, Melvin Jones, Weldon Brown, Byron Buettner, Nick Checkles, John Reed, Nile Barnes. 61 The Northwest Conference Champ trophy I if Ii' 5 5 '32 Q: ' .3 2 . ii 'Za 1 .. .'

Nearing the end of the season they began I to show the polish that hard Work and xl S practice gave them. Nine of the boys will be back next year.
