Text from Pages 1 - 244 of the 1947 volume:

,LQWNMQQ --'--- - -- Y---5 .K 5... . ,, ,,,,,V ww 5 p Y ww '- FORWARD Twelve years ago a group of excited-small children assembled in the first grade room. What was the cause of the excitement? It was the first day of school for these children. They were embarking upon a period of their lives which none of them will ever forget, and they won't wish to forget. These last twelve years will be remem- bered as one of the happiest periods ever experienced by any of them. During these years, each of them has learned to be a citi- zen of the United States. They have been prepared to carry on the advancement of civilization a few steps farther as the generation be- fore them did and to add their bit to the progress of the world. All of them have formed friendships which will never be broken. Looking back over the last twelve years they remember all of the fun and good times they have had. If they try, they can remember a few unhappy times of course, but the happy times outnumber them so greatly that they are but faint, dim memories while the joys stand out clearly in their minds. In order to preserve these good times more accurately as the years 'go by, we are now putting forth this second edition of the ' Cri- terion. We hope that you, as you glance through this book, will re- member the Senior Class of 194-7 in the same way we recall our sch- ool years. We hope that in your memories our Q good 'points ' will stand out so clearly that our few bad points will be insignificant.

We take this thought with us as we enter new fields of endeavor and it is our prayerful desire that we may give to the world, in some measure, the same spirit of accomplishment and devotion to duty as did those to whom this book is dedicated.

A -v-- w ' ' ' 'N' ,I.H.S I w 1 1 1 THE HOUSE IN WHICH WE LIVE Quite frequently we are attracted by the words of a minister of the gospel when he refers to our bodies as being houses and our minds and souls as being the tenants living therein. The more I see of life the more truth I attach to this analogy. Truly, we. often see a very beautiful face - but sometimes this beauty diminishes when we become better acquainted with the con- science and mind back of it. It is quite easy to doll up with cloth- ing and cosmetics, but what about checking with your doctor -- or church leader and seeing what can be done to improve your method of living. No one is really beautiful except when he presents a Christian spirit of understanding, fairness and unselfishness. Most' of our better schools are administered with beautiful living as the cen- tral theme. In nearly all cases the really progressive student bodies are working with the same high ideal at heart. How does jefferson High stack up in this respect? Are we always considerate of our fellow workers? The writer is just rounding out his seventeenth year as a public school man. As the years pass he realizes how very little he knows with respect to all that which is to be known. However, we have found one fact to be certain. Here it is: The human masses are very far below their possibilities or potentialitiesf' In other words ifwe were all to co-operate and sacrifice to a high degree of sincerity, there would be few obstacles we could not surmount. If each teacher, boy and girl were to do his level best at Jefferson we would be so far ahead of all other schools that it would seem ridiculous. Yes, we would even be ahead of many schools possessing much superior physical equipment. The human brain and initiative is what makes things go. Whether things go right or wrong is determined by our understanding of the good life as taught by Jesus, Another year has rolled around and we are about to graduate another class. I believe it can be honestly said that these graduates are leaving a better sclioolviiian existed a year ago. We have done additional cleaning and redecorating. A noticable change has taken place in modernization of the home economics suite. Thanks to the Board of Education for their fine support. ' The library has been strengthened thru the addition 'of the Americana Encyclopedia as well as many reference books. The visual education department was strengthened by the pur- chase of a new slide and filmstrip projector. The Recordio purchased jointly by the school and Delta Theta Tau has helped us in speech and music departments as well as for entertainment. A fine spirit of love and adoration for our school was shown when the Class of '46 left as their memorial, an electric scoreboard. The course of study is stronger this year with a full science and math department, The new Drivers Course sponsored by the Board of Education and State Auto Association is a forward step among smaller rural schools of the nation. A continued growth of membership and interest in Y-Teens and Hi-Y is heartening. Their fine spirit of sharing good music'attChrist- mas and religious films at Easter is to be noted by us all. We have a good school spirit, here as compared with that of other schools. But even so, it is not good enough. There is not a single thing wrong with us that could not be quickly corrected by a closer parental interest and a better pupil-teacher understanding. It is true that a new addition to our house would permit us to flower out andnoffer something to our youth and community that is yet un- known here. We still re-emphasize the fact that something must -bg done and done soon to save the face of jefferson School. -Butjas Eddie Guest would put it It Takes A Heap 0' Livin' in a House to Make it Home. Let's all do our part to make our school family a happy and energetic one. Your friend, Herschel W. Sanders The Road To Peace For many years we had forgotten what power there was in small things. But this atomic generation is beginning to realize again that there is power in the song of a bird, the laughter of a child, a ray of sunshine, a drop of water, Those interested in the health and morality of the youth would like to rebuild our cities so that there would be parks where birds would sing again and the laughter of chil- dren would send its power into the community.- Scientists are always trying to release the secrets and harness the power in a ray of S1111- light or a drop of water so that we may heat our homes and operate machinery in order to make life easier for the people. ' l hope that a solution can be reached whereby the world can be trusted with this newly revealed secret of atomic power.' We know what will happen when a small bomb is dropped on a city. It will kill and injure fifty million people and harm the morale of millions more. What more it may do along this line will be seen in the final 'reports of the recent Bikini test. But have you read anywhere of the possibil- ities it has to bless people if it were dedicated to the blessing of all mankind? Is the control of atomic energy the heart and soul of peace or the friendliness of nations? Do you honestly think that permanent peace will ever be established by the methods now being pursued by the world's leaders? Would it help to elect Christian leaders in our political elections? ' I think the supreme need of the world today is for brotherhood under a common Saviour, jesus Christ. For this I believe, is the only plan for saving the world. Only as Christ will they learn to share the good things of life with each other. W Luther W, Lauver Principal MRS. IORA D. CLISE Mrs, Clise attended Ohio University at Athens, Ohio. She has had sixteen years of teaching experience, however, this is her first year at Jefferson, She has the responsibility of teaching the first grade. We feel that she is capable of doing her duty excellently and we wish to let her know how much we appreciate her being at our school. We hope that she will continue her work here. ' Whenever you see her she is smiling and she always has a cheerful word to say. MRS, RUTH GEA MILLER Mrs. Miller attended Miami University and Wittenberg College. She has had 15 years of teaching experience, 11 of which havegbeen in jefferson, teaching the second grade. Mrs. Miller is responsible for a very large class. However, the pupils show that they are well-trained because they are well-behaved. She is eager to teach them all that she can so that they will be ready to take a larger step next year. MISS MARTHA JANE BOWSER Miss Bowser was born at Portsmouth, Ohio and later moved to Winchester, Indiana where she attended and graduated from Winches- ter High School.

MISS GERTRUDE BARNEY Miss Barney attended Ball State Teacher's College at Muncie, Indiana and graduated from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, She has taught here for 8 years.

MISS CLARA F. HARRIS Miss Harris graduated from Richmond High School and attend- ed Ball State Teachers' College in Muncie, Indiana.

She began her teaching career in Darke County and then she taught in the Monroe High Sch- ool. Twenty six years ago she joined our faculty where she now teaches the sixth grade.

ELIASON , Miss Eliason graduated from the Centerville High School and then attended the Cincinnati Bible Seminary for two years. This is her first year of teaching and she is responsible for the Commercial Department and for a Geography. class. i Injefferson she serves as the sponsor for the seventh grade and we sometirnes wonder how she keeps them so quiet, Everyone likes this quiet little woman who does her job so capably. EVALOU STAUFFER Miss Stauffer graduated from Brookville High School and Otter- bein College.

Some of those venturesome souls have wea- thered twelve years of schooling together. They areg Jack Branden- burg, junior Bottoms, Pat Northrop, Ethel I-Iosier, Helen Ray,Carolyn Wesler, Julian Smith, jack Davidson, Dorothy Stewart, Marjorie Har- shman, Mary jane Nickelson, Charlotte Drew, Helen Dunn, and Clar- ice Stegall, We have many fond memories of those bygone days. We remember Miss Brasier who read those grand stories to us while we were in the second grade. It was here that Fred Smith and Bob Keller joined the listening throng. In the third grade it was our pleasure to bask in the rays of Miss Renz's winning smile, while in the fourth grade Miss Murray added the name Dick Steinberger in her roll book. 4 It was while we were enjoying one of our favorite teacher's classes that Miss Harris welcomed two more strangers into our mid- st--Gene Garber and Paul DeBoo, and it was under the supervision of Miss Holsinger that we and Dorothy McClain, another addition, had our first taste of what growing up was like. At last it was tirne for our class to ascend into the realms of higher learning,--and so with much confusion we entered the seventh grade, lost, bewildered, and ill at ease. However, by the time we had the eighth grade well in hand the upper regions were no longer a mystery, while the way to the principal's office was very clearly de- fined. Beverly Roberts and Bob Eales joined our ranks during 'this incubation period. Ruth Huddle and Harry Stivers joined us for our first year in high school during which time we really were Freshmen, while Donald Fuller and Donald Taylor added their efforts to our ranks in living up to the classification of Sophomores which means wise fools. We finally found that it was necessary to don the robes of dig- nity--enter the world of entertainment and business and, in general, look down on those lesser beings than ourselves, We turned actors during the first semester and presented that chilling, thrilling mys- tery Gangway for Ghosts . After clearing away the bodies, we found that we had an excellent foothold toward our goal ofafine Senior reception. Through our efforts of selling at the various athletic meets we realized another source of revenue. --And now we are Seniors. Bob Eales has returnea from the Navy and Ralph Austerman has packed away his G-I apparel to join us in our hour of triumph. For a year we have been clothed in the robes of sophistic-ation. It is our sincere hope that we as Seniors and as an example to the rest of the students of Jefferson may leave a spirit of accomplishment and good fellowship in our wake. .We realize that the .most choice years of our lives have now passed and as a final gesture we gratefully and humbly thank those who have done so muchto make these years fruitful, happy, and 2 worth while. lk 2341 'F - W REVISED EDIT ION The prof is my shepherdg I shall not rest.

I 3 New Paris, Ohio April 25, 1966 Dear Mr. Hubbard, We were very sorry to hear about your accident, but it just 'goes to prove that you should never have given your wife a rolling-pin. Since you cou1dn't attend the 20th reunion of the class of 47 , I thought I'd write you all about it. They had a very happy day. Quite a few of the Old Kids were there. I was surprised to see Pat Northrup and Dorothy Stewart. But they couldn't stay long. You know, they are hostesses at 'the DeLux Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. They were quite pleased to see Miss Kemp, their class spon- sor, who was able to leave her duties as head of the Social 'Science Department in the Dayton High School, Donald Fuller, who is a radio announcer in Chicago, wa.sn't able to come, You can hear him over station BLAB every Thursday mor- ning between seven and eight, You remember how quiet he used to be? Well, now they can' t keep him quiet. You've probably heard that jack Davidson is in the undertaking business. Dick Steinberger was going in partnership with him, but decided to start a new soap factory instead. Dick always did have a lot of oil. I was surprised when I met Ralph Austerman coming down the street with his six kids. He is a mechanic now and has invented a new jet propelled baby carriage. He just finished building an addition on his house since his mother-in-law moved in. The other day, I went in Thompson's Restaurant fora coke, and learned that Clarice Stegall was chief cook and bottle-washer. She isn't married yet, so I guess she meant it when she said she' was a man-hater. However, she has quite a few suitors sitting on those stools every morning. Thompsonis is still the hangout for the gang--and as usual, the juke-box was going, As I listened, I realized that it was a recording of Marga Harshrnan, who is a famous contralto singer in Hollywood. Do you remember how Gene Garber liked to play postoffice? Well, he is the post master. I received a letter from Ruth Huddle the other day. She finally married Big john and they are living in West Virginia. She said she was sorry she cou1dn't make it for the reunion, but she couldn't leave her twins. Carolyn Wesler has finally settled down in New York. She has a very elite piano studio on 52nd Street and is scheduled to present her annual recital in Carnegie Hall shortly.. h Donald Taylor decided he liked Jefferson and is the athletic co- ach now. His basketball team is doing very well too. If they keep it up, they might even win the tournament. Do you remember Julian and Fred Smith? They have started a branch office of the Smith Bros. Cough Drops. They have invented a new liquid cough drop, guaranteed to stop a cough under water. I haven't had a change to try it yet. You should see the collection of cats that Dorothy McClain has. She has everything from a Persian to a Pole. We have a good swing band in town called Gus's Hustlersu. Jack Brandenburg, who is still good on those drums, is the director. Dr.. Helen Dunn moved her offices the other day into the old hardware store building. Helen Ray is her assistant. She has finally learned how to pull teeth without breaking your jaw bone. Rev. Junior Bottoms is to be here next week for a missionary program.

There are7 t manyfellows who have a full time job in a factory and carry on their school work too. Of course there have been times when Don's eyes have become very heavy in English class, but we hope the cause was from the long working hours rather than the instruction he was receiving. - , GENE GARBER There is something about the wail of a siren during the wee hours that causes the more timid souls to shrink more deeply into their blankets, while those more bold rush to doors and windows to witness the shrieking commotion. The root of this unearthly wailing can usually be traced to Gene who is, without a doubt, the county's fastest ambulance driver - and the loudest, if we take the siren' into consideration, . We must give him credit though for having a more somber side because Gene is a budding mortician - and how are you feeling today? JULIAN SMITH Smitty is that slim, blonde chap with the innocent smile that covers up a totally different personality, one that is a cross between 1 bob-wire fence and a bucksaw. Of course that was before he met Rosie and we will, no doubt, have to address julian as Mr, Smith after that special date has been kept, We all expect Mr. Smith to go to town ! FRED SMITH x Whenever there is a great deal of noise around school, usually Fred has broken loose. He spends most of his time back in the li- brary flirting with the girls.

Howard Knoll Studios was the main objective. We went in four cars each leaving New Paris at half hour intervals. The first carload left at 8:30. Mr. Knoll was very kind and greeted us all with a big fat camera. In return he was rewarded with nice smiles. After have the pictures taken, we split up into different groups. Some went to the movies and many of the girls went shopping. One group of boys had quite a time playing tag on the exculator in one of the large departrnent stores and there was a rumor going around that many of the boys paid a visit to An- nita at the Mayfair. Surely this cou1dn't be true, Rurnors were 1-eauy Flying. Toward evening a tired group of Seniors started back for New Paris. One load stopped at the Drive-In Theater outside of Dayton on their way back. The Seniors had quite a bit to talk about for sometime after- wards. We hope the juniors will have an equally exciting experience when they make their trip to Dayton next year. Note: That big smile that was given to Mr. Knoll was well re- warded because all of the pictures were very fine. BOND ISSUE At the regular 194-6 November election a school bond issue was presented to the New Paris community totaling S l80,000. The com- bined efforts of the Board of Education, Faculty, Student body and a great majority of our citizens failed, by a fraction of a percent, to pass this issue. The same question was again defeated by three votes at a special election on December 31. I The proposed S 180,000 was to be used to modernize the New Paris public school. As the situation now stands, the community has one of the poorest equipped schools that we know of, A new gym, cafeteria, home economics suite, shop and other badly needed im- provements were suggested by the Board of Education. ' M'Liss fMy Western Miss, A three act western comedy was presented by the Senior Class, March 19-Z1. The cast played to a full house at both performances. In the little mining town of Srnith's Pocket in the Sierras lived George Smith known as Bummer , the town loafer, for about the only work he did was to work a small claim occasionally, believing that one day he would yield great wealth. His young daughter M'Liss, who was the only one who had confidence in him, lived with him. George Smith was portrayed by Paul DeBoo and M'Liss by Clarice Stegall. A brother, unbeknown to Smith died in the East and left Smith his entire fortune. Two schemers from the East, Clara Hunting, and her fiance, Carter Langdon arrived in Smith's Pocket fortified by this knowledge and planned to do away with Smith, pose as his relatives, and gain his fortune. Clara was portrayed very well by Mary jane Nickelson and Carter by john Brandenburg. Old Smith was killed and the blame placed on john Grey a young school teacher portrayed by Robert Keller, Many colorful characters were woven into the story such as Bess Starlight, a fascinating, dazzling actress who played havoc with the heart of Yuba Bill, a comic cowboy. The portrayal of Bess was by Carolyn Wesler and Yuba Bill by junior Bottoms. Clytie Moffits, a sweet little mountain rose, was M'Liss's rival and this part was portrayed ably, by Ruth Huddle. judge McSnaggley portrayed by Robert Eales, held an impromptu court in the lobby of the Roarin' Dog Hotel , where the play took place. The hotel was owned by Mrs. Lena Moffits and this portrayal was done ably by Helen Ray. M'Liss was a great play filled with comedy galore as well as tense, thrilling dramatic situations. The entire class of '47 par- ticipated in this production and hope that the spectators derived as much enjoy-ment from seeing the play as did the class in presenting it. b l ' UNDER GRADS . x President --------- Vice President Secretary ------ f - CLASS OFFICERS FRESHNIAN ----..--- Trea.surer--- - ---- ----- - - Phillip Nelson - - -Barbara Call - - joan Williams' - - -Melvin Diggs Reporter - - - - - - - - - - Gordon Arnold Sponsor - - - - - - - - - Mr. johnson SOPHOMQRE President ------------ -------------- J im juday Vice President ----- ----- --BobCopenhefer Secretary -------- ------ - - Dorothy Thompson Treasurer -------- ------- - - - - - Howard Ford Reporter -------- Sponsor ------- - - - - - President ------- Vice President JUNIOR - - - LaVerne Diggs - - Mr. Hubbard ------------------BudKemper Secretary -------- - - - - Treasurer - - ----- - - - ---- - - Reporter ---- Sponsor - - - President ---- - - - Vice President Secretary ------ Treasurer ----- Reporter - - - Sponsor - - - SENIOR - - -Meredith Wesler - - - - -Virginia Culbertson Donna jean McGunnegil1 - - - Betty Lou Coddington - - - - - Miss Thatcher - - -jack Davidson - - - Robert Eales - -Clarice Stegall - -Ralph Austerman - Carolyn Wesler - - - Miss Kemp usaunuii 1 X if i 1 a 1 4 I J e , , , 5 JU N 'I 0 R S ! 1 5 3 i i B.

A? JUNIOR NEWS After proudly accomplishing the tasks put before us this year, we the junior Class, wish to make a few statements before assuming the responsibilities and the sophistication of being Seniors., As we look ahead and anticipate the trials that the coming year will hold for us, we can only hope that our efforts, as Seniors, will be as fruitful as have the efforts of the graduating class of '47, We are' very grateful to the Board of Education, the faculty,,.and the com- munity for their help andcoioperation during our junior year, and sincerely hope that during the year to come, we may also add to the tradition and reputation of jefferson High School. The first meeting that we held as juniors was for the purposeof organization. The following class officers were chosen: Pres.--Bud Kemper V. Pres.----Meredith Wesler Sec.---Virginia Culbertson Treas.---Donna McGunnegi11 Reporter---Betty Coddington Our meetings have consisted of choosing committees for the concession stand at the baseball and basketball games, of plans for the 50-50 Dance, and for the Reception. The white carnation was voted our class flower. Our colors are green andsilver andour mot- to isg A quitter never wins, a winner never quits. After seeing many samples, we ordered our class jewelry. It was decided upon by the majority of the class to purchase matching three colored gold rings with the old English initial. Everyone was disappointed when we were not able to receive them for Christmas, but all rejoiced when they arrived January 2.3. We. were sorry to see our class members diminish by four early in the year. Donald Eales joined the army, james Ramsey is employed in Richmond, Charles Pickett is employed at Mikesells' Garage and james Ratcliffe returned to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pvt. Donald Eales paid us a visit while on furlough from Camp Stalrnan, California. We gave a weiner roast and theater party in his honor. Our major accomplishment was presenting to the public Carn- pus Quarantine, a comedy in three acts, According to reports we have heard, our presentation was an outstanding success. We wish to thank Miss Kemp, Miss Thatcher and Mr. Hubbard for their splendid co-operation and we give to them the credit of making it successful. During the year we have been prosperous at the baseball and basketball games selling pop corn, ice cream, pop, and sandwiches. We appreciated the way the spectators purchased our wares. To Miss Thatcher we give our thanks for her efforts. After enjoying the Christmas assembly, we listened to phono- graph records of Dickens' uChristmas Carol , and presented our sponsor, Miss Thatcher, with a gold crown-shaped pin, set with a green stone and rhinestones. This was to show our appreciation for the untiring efforts and consideration she has given us throughout the year. Our 50-50 dance was received well by the public. Peck Harter and his band, featuring Dwight Emerick as vocalist, gave fine enter- tainment. A formal reception was given in honor of the Seniors on April 25 at the Eaton Country Club. Lowell Rodgers and his orchestra from Trotwood presented fine music for this occasion ofbidding the Seniors farewell. . In closing, we wantto wish the Seniors the very best of luck as they take their places in the world. To the Sophomores who will take our places next year, we want to remind them again A quitter never wins, a winner never quits, CAMPUS QUARANTINE On October 17th and 18th the junior Class presented Robert Ray's up-to-the-minute comedy entitled, Campus Quarantine . This delightful, rollicking comedy of college life has been played with success on the professional stage and had for its locale the Sorority House on a southern California campus. The situations were excru- tiatingly funny and the characters true to life. The play was all the more interesting because the main plot - that of a girls' sorority house being quarantined while some of the boys were still inside - is fundamentally true. Imagine the complications! The action was swift, the dialogue clever and witty, and the situations almost bewildering in the many mix-ups that made Cam- put Quarantine a merry, mad, crazy, but perfectly delicious play. The cast was as follows: Gloria Smith ---- Kanna jamma Sorority girl- - - Betty Coddington Mrs. Smith ----- Her aunt and House-mother ----- Betty West Beryl Shepherd ---- Who causes trouble- - - Virginia Culbertson Edythe Rhodes - - - - Another sorority girl - ------ jane DeBoo Deborah Mercu- - - Who tried to have romance- Donna McCvunnegi11 Lela Dunn ---------- A nurse --------- Miriam Knox Dr. Leon Atwell ----- Meek and mild ------- Richard Nelson Gordon Dunn ---- Who tried to manage things - - - Francis Weist Ronald Steele --------- His pal ---------- Allie Stnith Elliot Maxim- - - Who has a flair for theatricals- - - -jack Hughes Fenlay Carruthers ---- His roommate ---- ' ---- Bud Kemper Howard Ross ----- ' - From a rural school ------ Melvin James Business Manager ---------------- - - -john Stivers Tickets --------------------- - - Myron Arnett Bob Pickett Properties - - ----- Marilyn'De1k Frank F rech Bob Ray Carolyn Brown Prompters - - - -Eugene Roberts Edward Hornsby Stage Managers - - - - Eugene Roberts Edward Hornsby Publicity - - ---- Betty West Edith Mull Meredith Wesler Bill Owens 5 xx 1 2 Q 1 i 1 I i n, v !!5W0 'pw 'Wu 'Fr Q' l' ' 'P !'9 m'?

Louise Fussner, jacque- line Hopkins and Noel Bryant, we started our Freshman year. Noel had been with us before but spent a year in Cambridge City where he was in the Eighth Grade.

Our first meeting was held on September 15, During that time we elected the following officers: President - Phillip Nelson Vice Pres. - Barbara Cail Secretary - joan Williams Treasurer - Melvin Diggs Reporter - Gordon Arnold Our class is well represented in school activities. Maurice Burden and Beryl Wesler are in the band. joan Taylor, Doris john- son, Mary Banks, joan Williams, Patty Stemple, Barbara Cail, and Norman Watts are chorus members, and Phillip Nelson, MelvinDiggs, Lowell Smith, Noel Bryant, Jack Dixon, Maurice Burden, Dick Mur- ray and Duane Arnett are on the basketball team.

We are proud oftheboys on the team and the cheerleaders, A majority of our girls joined the Y-Teens and are doing their part toward the success of the organization. Our class had a Christmas Party on December 17. We had an exchange of gifts and presented Mr. johnson with a pen and pencil set. We were presented to his fiancee, Miss Ruth Morrison. Mr. Hubbard was also there, Everyone had a very nice time. Next came the semester tests. Some did well and other ones did not so well. After the second semester started, the boys were asked to join the Hi-Y. Most of them did so and are enjoying it. We had a roller skating party in February. Everyone attended and declared the evening a success. We next had our semester tests in which we did fairly well. ,.,- ,..,, .,.,, -.,-W., .,.. q...,.,F.. . ,. - - ,..,v.Yv.,.,.-v,V ...uf-, H -ff ... .

MUSIC NEWS Starting with only an unlucky thirteen band members, the in- strumental department has gone well over the fifty mark, in addition to a seventy six piece Tonnette Band. The Board of Education was very co-operative as it gave the music department three hundred dol- lars with which to purchase instruments. The band is forth strong now and, laccording to Mr, Hubbard, jefferson will support a fifty piece band in nineteen fortv eight. The various musical units have been active during the year, supplying entertainment in various forms for activities both in and out of school. The jefferson Jesters made their debut at the junior play and introduced the singing Baker's Dozen to capacity audiences. Our band made an unusual hit at the County Basketball Tournament. As a result, they performed at the majority of the games, gained valuable experience, established a reputation and had a barrel of fun. Two complete P.T .A. programs were in the hands of the schoolmusi- cians who also entertained at the Father and Son banquet and at the Kiwanis Charter Night Banquet, Our musical units were well I repre- sented at the County Music Festival at Miami University. Ik Ik Ik lk AS I REMEMBER YOU As we strolled down the lane that night, With our hands clasped together so tight, As we gazed at the big bright stars above, As we tried so hard to express our love, Your eyes sparkled like the early morning dew, Your hair was so beautiful, your lips so true, As we strolled down the lane that night, That's how I remember you.
