In her forty years of teaching at Delphos High School, her instruction, inspiration, and guid¬ ance has enriched the lives of the many hun¬ dreds of students with whom she has been associated. In its humble way, may this dedication serve as a lasting tribute to a de¬ voted lady. Dedication SENIOR CLASS OF 1963 “Strive and Ye Shall Reap” High school is the period in our life when thoughts are light and gay, pranks just as funny, and homework unwanted. Never¬ theless, once we are away from school and on our own, we often recall the experiences of our “school days.” Years from now we may be able to open our diary, leaf through the pages, and relive the events that to us, the graduating class of 1963, were so import¬ ant. Remember when we first entered high school. Sept. 1959—At last we are Freshmen, but still considered “punky underclassmen.” Now comes our first taste of studying—an introduction to freshman Latin and algebra. Oct. 1959—Annual GAA initiation and we girls felt just about as horrible as we looked after pushing pennies with our noses and polishing shoes all day. But the boys looked just as silly when D-Club initiation took place. Dec. 1959—As new members of Y-Teens, we girls attended our first formal dance with the boy we finally got up enough nerve to ask. Sept. 1960—As Sophomores we are coming up in rank. With the added “prestige” comes more responsibility—more Latin, the job of dissecting cow’s eyes in biology lab, and assisting the Junior class by becoming reporters on the Re-Echo staff. March 1961—With our help the Band, Choir, and Girls’ Glee receive all I’s at State Contest. Sept. 1961—Already we are Juniors and eagerly waiting to fill the vacancy that will be left by this year’s graduating class. With this year come more responsibilities. We are now editing the Re-Echo plus putting a sec¬ tion regularly in the Delphos Herald. At last we have our long-awaited class rings. Oct. 1961—A proud moment in the high school lives of some of our Juniors who, be¬ cause of their high scholastic ability, char¬ acter, leadership, and service have been in¬ ducted into the National Honor Society. Nov. 1961—Much work and class participa¬ tion and cooperation went into the produc- (Continued on page 19) CLASS OFFICERS—left to right—Jerry Mericle, treasurer; Bill Doyle, vice-president; Jim Nor¬ ris, sergeant at arms; Dennis Kiggins, presi¬ dent; Judy Swallow, sec¬ retary; Diana Brinkman, historian.

We spent many an entertaining night while making orchids and other decorations for our Prom motif, “Orchids in the Moonlight.” Sept. 1962—Thus we begin our final, hur¬ ried, bustling year at Delphos Jefferson. For us it means the last time for many fine ex¬ periences together with our classmates. Oct. 1962—No one could have been prouder of our football team than the fans and the Homecoming court at our last crack at Elida on Homecoming night. One thing our foot¬ ball team liked to do was to collect various signs for their locker room. Nov. 1962—This month brings our last Y-Teen dance, one to long be remembered. Also, two more of our Seniors are inducted into the National Honor Society. with a terrific bang when Jeff shuts high- ranked Perry out of the Allen County Tournament and secures a runner-up trophy. May 1963—We present our Senior Class Play, “Seventeenth Summer.” With anticipa¬ tion we look forward to being honored at the Junior and Senior Prom entitled “Cherry Blossom Time.” Senior Day brings our last class picnic. May 20, 1963—Tonight the Class of 1963 leaves forever the halls of D.H.S. Gradua¬ tion, eagerly awaited by most of us, has come at last. With graduation comes hesi¬ tancy on the part of some of us who become sad at the thought of leaving. We will be saying goodbye to many fond memories: to rousing football games, basketball tilts, rec¬ ord hops, hurrying to get our College Prepar¬ atory English book reports and themes in on time, deadlines to meet for the Re-Echo, trying frantically to make bookkeeping prac¬ tice sets balance, and especially remember¬ ing our last year with Miss Rogers, who just couldn’t understand why we Seniors acted as we did.

The Delphos Jefferson Wildcats football team, under the supervision of coach Rudy Lucas and assistant coaches Cal Fox and Milo Basker, had a fair season. During the season the ’Cats were up and down, but proved hard to defeat. A record of four wins, four losses, and one tie is nothing to be ashamed of considering the competition Jefferson plays, especially in the Northwest Conference. The season started with a loss to the Lima Senior High Jayvees. A victory over Spen- cerville highlighted Mom’s night, and the 1962 Homecoming was spoiled by arch-rival Elida. Dad’s night, the last game of the sea¬ son, was a thrilling, hard-fought victory over Paulding, bringing to a close a good football season. Seniors playing their last season for Delphos-High were Damian Connor, Henry Dienstberger, Bill Doyle, Ken Fair, Bob Foust, Ed Jackson, Dennis Kiggins, Jack Koch, Dave Lundgren, Joe Mox, and Willie Vasquez.

The 1963 Jefferson basketball team completed the year with an unim¬ pressive, but respectable, 8-11 won lost record. The Wildcats had their ups and downs during the regular season, never being quite able to build up a winning head of steam, but towards the end of the season, the spirited Wildcats came alive, just in time for tournament. Perry, the un¬ beaten conference champ, was the first opponent in tournament. The Wildcats surprised everyone but their own fans as they upset the mighty Perry squad 81-63. The Wildcats then dumped Harrod 57-49, only to lose the county-championship to a fine Gomer team in a 61-66 overtime heartbreaker. Definitely hurt by sickness, the Wildcats ended their season by bowing out to Kalida 50- 66 in the sectional tournament. Al¬ though their record was only 8-11, the Jefferson Wildcats gave their school a season to be proud of. HEAD COACH, Calvin Fox.

Freshman Coach, Rudy Lucas. This year’s Freshman Team had their ups and down, but managed to break even. Under the direction of Coach Lucas, the Wildkittens ended the season with a 5-5 record. This record means nothing however, be¬ cause these boys are just learning their basketball and getting ready for the Varsity. This year’s team exhibit¬ ed a lot of potential and spirit, and they will be a welcome addition to next year’s reserve squad. The eighth graders were also a scrappy bunch and they compiled a 3-6 record.

BASEBALL Jefferson’s 1963 baseball team did not compile a very impressive record, but the team is very young. With only one senior and three juniors the squad managed to win four while losing ten. Two of these victories were over Gomer, one of the best teams in the area, so the team has reason to be proud. Losing only one player by graduation, the Wildcat nine should be much stronger next year.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY To be a member of the National Honor Society is the highest honor that can come to a student at Delphos High School. A member of the society must show outstand¬ ing qualities of character, leadership, and service, as well as high scholarship. Each year, Juniors and Seniors who meet the standards of the National Honor Society are inducted into it in an impressive candle¬ light assembly. This year, the Delphos chap¬ ter, which is twenty years old, had fifteen members. The Honor Society’s chief activity is the operation of the cloak room at home basketball games.

This year under the leadership of a new advisor, the Delphi started in fine shape. Both senior editors were inexperienced and thus t he task that lay ahead of them was a totally new one at the start. Many ideas were developed, and as the year progressed, these ideas became realities. There is no written theme in this year’s Delvhi, but the book is held together by a similar design on both the cover and the division pages. The staff hopes that it has gathered pleasant memories of Delphos High School into the pages of this book, and that these memories will be relived each time the pages are turned.

The Re-Echo, under the editorship of Ann Dienstberger, published a biweekly issue in the Delphos Herald. The work was under the supervision of the advisor, Miss Benning, and was assisted by Teresa Odenweller. This full page contained all the up-to-the-minute news and the latest in photos taken by Dave Lundgren. Completing the staff were the senior typists, and reporters from the fresh¬ man, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The editor, along with the typists and re¬ porters, can be very proud of a job well done in representing their school in the news. 56 Left to right—Photographer Dave Lundgren; Artists Lynn Ladd and Willie Vasquez.

The Y-Teens opened the year with the an¬ nual induction service. Thirty-seven new members were brought into the religious or¬ ganization. Throughout the year, the organ¬ ization was engaged in several projects. This year the “Save the Children Federa¬ tion” drive was very successful. Every mem¬ ber brought in at least one article of used clothing. On November 24 the formal dance was held and everyone enjoyed dancing in “Autumn Leaves.” To finance the dance the girls had a booming sales campaign selling Christmas cards and hand lotion. Later in March the annual Mother and Daughter Tea was held. Mrs. Moran gave an interesting book review, then everyone enjoyed punch and cookies. To finish a very successful year everyone enjoyed the fun and frolic of the annual picnic held at Fort Amanda.

G.A.A. As usual, the G.A.A. members had a year of fun. It started out with the initiation of freshman girls, who were able to get in on the fun of earning their points for a letter. Points could be earned by participating in volleyball, basketball, bowling, and softball, or by selling popcorn at the basketball games. On April 19th, the girls held their annual Athletic Banquet, at which all boys who participated in sports were invited to at¬ tend. The girls closed the year with a com¬ bined picnic with the Y-Teens. OFFICERS—left to right— seated —Carol Place, president, and Teresa Odenweller, vice-president; standing —Jeanne Mox, treasurer, Judy Swallow, social chairman, and Eileen Brinkman, secretary. “To practice brotherhood, honor rural op¬ portunities and responsibilities, and develop those qualities of leadership which a Future Farmer should possess.” This statement is what all F.F.A. members say in unison when the president asks, “Future Farmers, why are we here?” The above words explain why the boys are taking F.F.A. and the purposes of the organization. The members of the F.F.A. can be proud of their many achievements. Among these are their Pancake and Sausage Supper, the ox roast, the Parent and Son Banquet, and their participation in state contests such as: public speaking, parliamentary procedure, farm shop safety, land judging, and poultry, meat, and general livestock judging. This year the F.F.A. boys took this trip to Chicago during Thanksgiving vacation to see the International Livestock Show, Chicago Board of Trade, and Museum of Science and Industry.

D CLUB The varsity “D” Club under the direction of Mr. Koch is open to those boys who have earned the privilege of wearing a varsity “D”. The purpose of the club is to develop good sportsmanship. This is not a social club, but one that works. The boys sell ads for programs and sell their programs at all athletic activities, and handle the pop concession at home bas¬ ketball games. The “D” Club buys carnations for the mothers on Mom’s night, sponsors a trip for the football team to an Ohio State game, and at the close of the year, holds a “blow¬ out” for all boys who have participated in athletics.

The choir of 1962-63 can boast of being the largest choir at Jefferson in many years. In all, there were eighty-eight members. These members, under the direction of Mrs. Oetzel, worked diligently. One of their first public appearances was a combined Christ¬ mas concert with the Blue Creek Choir. Of the many selections presented at this con¬ cert, one was “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” Starting with the new year, the choir be¬ gan to work even harder on their contest pieces. Their hard work paid off, as they received a superior rating at District Con¬ test. The District required number was “All Ye Who Music.” On April 27, the choir journeyed to Co¬ lumbus for State Contest. Judged on their warm up number, a selected number, and the State required, “Blest Spirit,” the choir again received a superior rating.

The Delphos Jefferson Marching Band gave outstanding grid-iron performances in the fall of 1962. Their excellent music both inspired the football team and entertained the large crowds. Immediately following the football season, the Concert Band began to practice. This band put on an excellent winter concert, featuring four cornets in “Trumpets O Ley.” The band received a II at district contest, barely missing a superior rating. The contest numbers were “Mount of Might,” “Concord Overture,” and “Tamer¬ lane.” The band completed its season with its annual spring concert. This concert was a tremendous success as the ticket sales in- Drum Major Jack Rozelle dicated. “Camptown Basses,” a novelty fea¬ turing the bass section, “Westside Story,” “Egmont Overture,” and “Rhumbango” were four of the seven numbers played. The Be¬ ginning and Intermediate Bands also played for the concert, with the Dance Band play¬ ing for a dance that followed.

On the campus Abigail creates quite a sensation, and Dean Gillingham, suspecting that her presence is a publicity stunt, warns her that the slightest infraction of any rule will re¬ sult in her being expelled, which would mean that Susan would also have to leave Pointer. To top all her other problems, Abigail has a terrible time with her main course—zoology. Here Professor Michaels comes to her aid by offering to tutor her in the evenings. Soon, however, Professor Mi¬ chaels finds his thoughts turning from the subject of zoology to the discovery of what a fine person Abigail Abbott really is, and Abbey and Professor Michaels find them¬ selves feeling as young and as in love as two college students. A misunderstanding arises when Professor Michaels asks Abbey for a date to a formal dance, and Dean Gilling¬ ham has his chance to expel Abbey. But an explanation from Professor Michaels, with some help from Abbey, convinced Dean Gillingham of Abbey’s sincerity in attend¬ ing Pointer, and Abbey and Susan remained at Pointer.

After graduating from high school, Angie, who had never before had a date, met Jack Duluth, the school’s basketball star. She fell in love, and for the next few weeks, Angie experienced a feeling of happiness that made her wish that this summer would last forever. Then, one day, Jack asked her to marry him and she was forced to decide whether to follow her head or her heart. She refused the proposal and as a result, she and Jack did not see each other for weeks. However, as Angie was preparing for college, she resolved her differences with Jack, giving a happy ending to her seven¬ teenth summer. Mr. Arnette’s fine direction, and the Sen¬ ior’s excellent acting resulted in an enter¬ taining production.

HOMECOMING ! 1962 Cool, calm weather the night of October 19, just perfect for a football game, helped make the 1962 Homecoming an exciting evening for Queen Judy Swallow and her two at¬ tendants, Janis Thompson and Diana Brinkman. Janis and Diana, driven to the football field in a Pontiac conver¬ tible, were escorted to their honorary seats by co-captains Bill Doyle and Willie Vasquez. Queen Judy arrived at the field in a Cadillac convertible and was escorted by captain Dennis Kiggins. Each member of the Homecoming Court received a beautiful spray of flowers. Following the game, the Homecoming Dance was held in a red and white dec¬ orated music room. 70 iKi l( Highlight of the evening came with the crown¬ ing of Queen Judy Swallow by Captain Dennis Kiggins.

I SENIOR DAY The Class of 1963 climaxes its school days by singing “‘Climb Every Mountain.” The Seniors climaxed their days at Delphos High School with their Senior Day program. Dennis Kig- gins, class president, acted as mas¬ ter of ceremonies and introduced the program. The main part of the program was the reading of the class history by historian Diana Brinkman with other Seniors en¬ acting some of the memorable events of their high school years. Also featured were songs by Diane Long, a boy’s quartet, and a girls ensemble. The program was con¬ cluded with the presentation of awards by Mr. Koch and Mr. Christy. Jack Koch receives the statue for being the high honor student in the class. Bill Doyle receives the cup for being the second high student in the class. Senior “cheerleaders ’ Marv Brenneman, Jim Norris, and Hank Dienstberger give out with a rousing cheer. Delphi co-editors Jack Koch and Jack Rozelle ded¬ icate the 1963 Delphi to Miss Rogers. Junior-Senior Prom “Cherry Blossom Time” was the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom which was held on May 17, 1963 at Franklin School. The decora¬ tions were set in a Japanese style with cherry trees, lanterns, and pagodas. After an hour of dancing, a buffet supper was served, and the Juniors presented the program. The music for the evening was provided by A1 Best and his orchestra. The 1963 Prom was an evening to be remembered by all who attended. Enjoying the cherry blossom decorations at the Prom are Christine Heidenreich and Jack Koch, Diana Brinkman and Kenny Fair. The Seniors surround Miss Rogers who was at¬ tending her last Prom as Senior advisor. Janis Thompson and Jim Norris take a break from the dance at the punch bowl.
