The Echo is a produci of the com- bined efforts of all the students enrolled in the journalism class. Everyone con- tributes in some way, either by writing or by securing advertising. That ferrous and legal document, the Last Wi II t. r d Testament, was written by Margarei Comer, Shirley Roby and Sally Wach'lec; while Swamies Bob Cummings, Norman Rondo and Bert Howard foretold the future in the Class Prophecy. Roberta Kinsey, Gene Pifer and Mary Mustain pooled their wits to produce an authentic article known as the Class History. Carol Horchak re- searched the necessary information a- bout the faculty members; Darrol Long- brake collected the material for the write-ups about the Principal and the Superintendent. The writing for the sports sections was ably handled by Gary Sams, whoalsowrote about the Varsity K. Gary was the sports editor of the school paper. Loa Ann Baldwin contrib- uted the article on the F . A. A. section . The comparatively new organizations in the school, the G. A. A. and the Thespian Society were reported on by Margaret Comer and Wanda Lanning. Twoof the oldest organizations, theHi- Y and the Y-Teens were written up by John Sampselle and Sally Wachalec . Bill Sellers wrote the article about the very successful junior class play. Mr. J. David Rossi, Supervisor of Art drew the original sketches for the section di- viding pages and the entire staff worked under the direction of Mr. Carl Russell. On those warm days in the fall, the students went out to secure adver- tising from the businessmen of the com- munity. Bob Cummings, Darrol Long- brake, Bill Price, John Sampselle, Loa Ann Baldwin and Wanda Lanning were the most-successful in this phase of work . Mary Mustain, Sally Wachalec and Roberta Kinsey were very helpful with the tiresome and thankless task of iden- tifying and assembling pictures. The students were always asked what their preference was as to what they wished to contribute and so the assign- ments above represent what the students themselves chose. HARDIN COUNTY OIL CO.

The world which we are about to enter as adults seems to be on the threshold of a cataclysm . The flames of hatred, greed and malicious destruction of lives, property and moral values, burn higher now than at any time since perhaps the eleventh century. We have begun to realize that our her- itage of freedom is in danger of being transformed into a state of absolute subjugation. A good principle to follow in these troubled times is our class motto Do your Duty and leave the Rest to Prov- idence .

You go to it and ask questions concern- ing events to come in the future and it will shed a leaf. On this leaf is written the prophecy of the tree. We decided to visit this wonderful tree and see what it foresaw for the Class of 51. As the leaves fell, this is what we discovered. The first leaf that fell informed us that; Those famous bathing beauties Rhyl I is Ramsey, Mary Ann Height, and Phyllis Ward are competing for the title of Miss H-Bomb of 2000. Serving on the judging committee will be Alvin Johnson, Bill Hale and Dick Jones. Leo Keen, Jim Modd, and Dean Rader have formed a corporation in the old home town, and are engaged in machine production for the new factory which has taken the place of Timken Axle Plant. Ann Daniels and Mary Danner have a partner- ship in an Inter-planetary Dairy Service. Jo Ann Sacks and Carol Neal have been retained to play soothing music to the cattle; this method of keeping the cows contented works so well that they give nothing but super-electronic cream. Burke Ries, Bob Woodland, and Fred Barrett have a comedy trio on a planet-to-planet network. Also on the same network is Roberta Kinsey, Shirley Roby and C. C. Dick, who are modeling the latest fashions for color television shows. Dick Sharp and Gene Osbun have gone out for atomic car racing. They are known throughout the country for their fine performance and ability to keep the crowd on the edge of its seats. Rosa Nell Sherman, Wilma Shirk, and Anna Roby have taken a rocket ship to Mars for a vacation. Peggy Braig and Mary Lou Breidenbach are playing Atom, Atom, Who's Got the Atom, a new game which has taken the place of that strenuous game known as basketball for girls. Norman Rondo, Norman Glock and Leonard Gossard are building a rocket ship to go to the moon. After they return they plan to go into the selling profession—green cheese, that is. Bob Cummings (the pigeoneer) is now raising carrier pigeons for that new sport of pigeon racing. DeLUXE CLEANERS Quality Cleaning Pressing Phone 5248 N. Detroit Don Conkle, his assistant, does the menial tasks of feeding, cleaning, etc. Sally Harley and Eleanor Rodgers are co-owners in operating a restaurant. You all know how the Atomic Age has changed our eating habits. You just walk in and absorb the food. Slightly different from eating it; leaves more time for dinner conversation and saves on dishes and silverware. (Mary Mustain, dishwasher in one of the old fashioned restaurants, is now unemployed.) Gene Sites, who has purchased the gas station where he was once employed, has installed a new method of servicing. The gas is pumped by beautiful girls in shorts on roller skates. I hear his business is booming. Pat Jackson is head of the new library in the old home town. It seems that it rotates with the sun, thus keeping the librarian going around in circles all day. Safest place for bookworms in case of Atomic attack. But don't crowd, glow- worms ( new breed of bookworms) Lois Fitzpatrick and Winnie Katterheinrich! Don Harriman and Gail Smith have opened a combination pool hall and restaurant. They are doing fine, but if Don doesn't stop eating all the profits, they will be forced to close. Rachel Vanden has become a well-known piano virtuoso and is presently being featured at Carnegie Hall. Russ ( Vaughn Monroe ) Jones has a new dance band organized and is the top Swoon King of all the teen-agers. He calls his group the Cleft Dwellers. Barbara Brown iswearing one of the new glass dresses and is going to the H-Bomb Ball. Duane Deardorff ran away and joined the circus after he graduated and is now keeping audiences gaping at his antics on the high trapeze. We always knew that he would go up in the world. Mack Wrap 'em around the Pole Flinn and Bob Tear up the Turf Gemmell have gone out for professional golfing and are doing pretty well for themselves on the tournament circuit. Norma Jones is now a busy housewife, who, in her spare time, sings commercials on television. Charles Smith is now Admiral Charles Smith in command of the Navy rocket cruiser Spaces Unlimited. Millis Linton and Bill Fred- erick are his chief mechanics. Frankie Van Buskirk has a new job as a Director of the Inter-World Telephone Exchange Service, which is located in New York City. Gene Pifer and Louie Latham are playing on the Hook-Shots, a comedy basketball team Compliments of WETHERILL PARMER Barbers for Gentlemen Compliments of WESTERN AUTO 20 which tours the United States. Joe Edman is head cofcchof these fast-playing, quick-scoring cagers. Norman Turner, Dick Zeigler, and Neal Lowe are prosperous farmers. Their greatest am- bition is to out-do one another in hog-calling; which no one has been successful in doing yet. Sally Streak Wachalec has just won first place in the Women's Grand National Jet- propelled Automobile Race. Arnold Smith has opened a huge servi-center station for both rocket ships and atomic cars. Business is rushing (right past the door.) I hear that men are getting scarcer, and it must be true. I just met Jessie Ward, Kenton's new police force. Gary Bill Stern Sams, being interested in sports, is now a prominent sports commentator. His favorite annual football struggle is the one between Jumbo Tech, and Pfeiffer Station. Kenneth Weaver is now operating an Atomic taxi service. I wonder if he still uses the old Phantom Stagecoach ?? It seems there is a new sorority in town of which Marcella Parrott is the president. It is called the Eata, Gabba, and Gossipa. Basil Ward, former Kenton boy, is now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. When asked to comment on his opinion of socialized medicine, he remarked, I don't understand why medicine needs society. Dean Zuchetto is actively participating in a World series. It's the Yanks versus the Reds. Dean, of course, is for the Yanks. Marilyn Montgomery is now the head of a chain of five-and-ten-cent stores which feature everything from baby buggies to kitchen sinks. Owen Leigh is now the owner of a self-service beauty salon. You just walk in and douse your head with hair dyes, bleaches, etc. For an extra dollar he will demonstrate each one personally. One of the Alumni of K.H.S., Reed Armen- trout, is one of the nation's leading artists and is now abroad painting for the royal families of Europe. Lois Norton, who is sponsored by that wonderful new product called soap , is now a popular television entertainer. Margaret Comer is her head gown designer and accompanist. Buddy Collins, former student of K.H.S., is now traveling throughout the country selling laboratory chemicals. This seems like a rather explosive job. Bob Cooper, once head drum major at the Alma Mater, is now stepping high and wide at Ohio State University. Compliments of THE NEWS AND REPUBLICAN We watched the Echo grow Stanley Corfman is now designing the latest fashions for Paris. That lucky mani I I hear that Ohio Northern University has added to its faculty staff Bob Reid, who will teach Philosophy. (Those poor students.) Elizabeth Guttenburg is now the secretary to the President of the United States. She makes $12,000,000dollars a year. (Inflation, you know.) Bert Howard and Bob Styer are now officiating at inter-scholastic basketball and football games. According to the fans the two robbers deserve the stripes they wear. David James is now the director of a large choir. Among his better singers are Bill Crosby Myers, James Sinatra Houghton and Kathleen Kate Smith Manlick. Bob Willeke is now pitching hand grenades for the armed forces. His baseball ability comes in handy for this job. Florence Bidwell, formerly an outstanding student in bookkeeping, is now having difficulty in balancing her checking account. She always wonders why they are marked insufficient funds. She thinks that if the bank doesn't have enough money to make it good, they shouldn't be opened to the public. Paul Grode and Ollie Stephens are touring the country as census takers. One way of meeting girls. (Now they have an excuse.) Thus the prophecy of the tree of time was completed. Bert Howard Bob Cummings 21 TOP ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Fred Barren.

Students tapped for N.H.S. are in the top-third of their class in scholastic standing and they have accepted responsibilities in the affairs of the school and the community. They are adjudged superior by their fellow scholars by the persons of the faculty, and so affirmed by the administration. The Chapter was instituted in K.H.S. in 1938. 22 Friends, Romans and Countrymen, lend me your ears. We are here not to condemn our class, but to praise it. Four (not four score) years ago, we ascended the steps of Ye Olde High Schoole with high spirits, not knowing what fate awaited us beyond the beckoning door. As we passed into the inner sanctum (front hall) some of the more enterprising members of the senior class tried to sell us season tickets to the elevator at a discount of fifty cents; if we also bought tickets to get into our home rooms (back hall, up stairs), they offered to give us a discount of one doliari ! But you've heard the old saying, you can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. We knew there wasn't an elevator in the school. During the next fortnight, we, the Rupubli- crats, were busy campaigning for our officers. We managed to get ourselves in debt right off the bat because we had to borrow the fabulous sum of $.02 from the office for the purpose of paying off the various debts incurred through campaigning. We finally managed, by hook or by crook, to get Russell Blue elected president, Anne Daniels vice-president, and C. C. Dick secretary-treasurer. Elections over with, we settled down to two weeks of intense study, but since all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, we decided to have a straw ride which began with a ceremonial bonfire at Chief Milk-in-the-Pail's Farm (Daniel's dairy farm). As the fire died down into embers, we all departed to our wigwams to scrub off the war paint. During the next few months, we were busy going to ball games. Three of the freshman girls (Lois Norton, Winnie Katterheinrich, and Lois Fitzpatrick) were elected reserve cheerleaders. Therefore, we had to yell mighty loud to show our school spirit. Last, but not least, in our young lives was the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Since we were the babies of the school, this was about the only dance which we were allowed to attend. There were many Daisy Mae's who shyly drug their Li I' Abners in with a rope. Sho'nuff the big gym looked like that thar buddin' city of Dogpatch. After a rolicking time at the dance, we were about due for our summer vacation—so we took it! 11 With a very eventful summer behind us, we returned to school under the leadership of President Alvin Johnson, Vice-President Margaret Comer, and Secretary, Gene Pifer. As Sophomores, we were the wise ones; we found our that classes actually were held. This was an unforgettable year for most of the students of K.H.S. Our football team won the Western Buckeye League Championship with the unbelievable record of nine wins, no losses and no ties (9-0-0). It was quite an honor to our class to have Gene Pifer, Gene Osbun, Chuck Smith, Fred Barrett, Dick Jones, and Duane Deardorff on the team and Leonard Gossard as one of the managers. This was the year that the music department presented the operetta Naughty Marietta under the direction of Mrs. Mills. Our class did all right in this field too, for outof thirteen principals, six were sophomores: Roberta Kinsey, Winnie Katterheinrich, Owen Leigh, Gov. Robert Gemmell, Ah-da Lois Fitzpatrick, and our own funny man, Fred Barrett. The Homecoming game was one of the high spots of the season. Pat Fox was the queen that year, and Margaret Comer was our first class member to become an attendant. Fore! Everybody duck! Here comes our newly organized golf team swinging woods and irons. The golf team was under the sponsorship of Mr. Rompers Griffith. Robert Gemmell, Mack FI inn and Mary Lou Breidenbach all won their letters in this sport. This was the year that we were allowed to join clubs. Girls joined the F.H.A. and the Y- teens. The boys joined the F.F.A. and the Hi-Y. The lucky boys from our class qualified to join the Varsity-K were Fred Barrett, Gene Osbun, Gene Pifer, Dick Sharp and Chuck Smith. Again we were due for another vacation; but before we knew it, our vacation had come and gone and we had returned as lower-upper classmen. It was nice to know that we didn't have to be afraid of every turn of the hall anymore. We were now coming to the more serious portions of our high school career. We took this into consideration when we elected Duane Dear- dorff, Mack Flinn, and Robert Gemmell as our class officers. Compliments of STURGIS MARKET Meats, Groceries Vegetables 23 Slightly different from last year's record, the football team's ratio was 0-0-9. (No wins, no ties and nine losses). Oh, well, you can't be on top alI the time. We did a little better during the basketball season, by having eight wins and nine losses, not counting the tournament, which we lost. This was the season in which Ada, our oldest rival, beat us in an overtime with a score of 50-51. Talk about heart-breaking games, that's one of them! I Aside from the pretty bad showing of our other sports, the boys' golf team won all their games. We at least had something that year to hold our heads up about. To be or not to be, that rs the questioni What could be a better lead-up to the Junior play of 1950?? Every Junior and every other student too, I'm sure, was proud of our play that year. The play, Mother Is A Freshman, was about the biggest sensation of our Junior career. Modest and unassuming tho' we are, we say with pride that we broke the box office record. There were a few tense moments like the time when Jessie Ward adlibed so beautifully and Charlie Brount lost his shoes. To add romance to the play we had Van Johnson and Loretta Young straight from Hollywood in the person of Robert Gemmell and Lois Fitzpatrick. What most people do not know is that there was a real life drama behind the scenes. It was called, among the cast members, The Stirring Saga of the Second Act Kiss, which completely changed the life of one Mack FI inn. With the help of Mary Lou Breidenbach, Mr. Belvedere Griffith changed this shy and blushing young man to a reasonable facsimile of the “Kissing Bandit. Speaking of dramatics, the Thespian Society was organized for the first time in the history of Ye Olde High Schoole under the direction of Miss Isabel Sloan. Juniors qualified for this Society were Duane Deardorff, Fred Barrett, Lois Norton, Winnie Katterheinrich, Jessie Ward and Lois Fitzpatrick. The Kenton Chapter of the Thespiar Society presented the play, The Shadow of A Dream, at the district drama festival in Bowling Green. They received superior comments. In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, but not we Juniors; we had the prom to think of. (UGH) After maxi- mum work and minimum expense, we transformed the gym into a riot of color, carrying out the theme of Mexican Fiesta. About every member of our class has memories of making flowers, hanging decorations, and the other feverish acti- vities connected with decorating for the prom. Finally the big night was herel I As the couples entered, the sight of a beautiful wishing well bedecked with roses caught their eyes. By the time the evening was ended, even the Seniors admitted that we had set a new goal for succeeding classes to live up to. Before we knew it, vacation had again arrived and most of the future Senior class got jobs and began saving for their wants and needs of the coming year. For the final time we ascended the steps of Ye Olde High Schoole. Although we had planned to loaf and have a good time this year, we were surprised to discover that even Seniors have such things as book reports, homework, and term papers. With one last sigh for our broken dreams, we settled down to writing CIVICS reports, CIVICS reports, and then again there were CIVICS reports. There were a few lighter moments as there had always been, for basketball and football. We learned the very impressive cheer CHARGE which was suggested by Coach White. This was a special cheer used oniy when our team was ad- vancing down the field. It must have helped a little, because we won a couple games. The choral department presented the lively opera Martha. The scenery was painted by the art department. Miss Helen Terrill made helpful suggestions about the costuming. Martha proved to be a delightful production and was enjoyed by all who saw it. Hidden among all the SDorts dramatics, and studies, were the UNFORGET ABLE Senior parties! 111 What a time we had as wt square danced, ate, and ate some more. At the time we were only concerned with having a good time. But at Christmas time we took time out to go to sing carols at the County Hospital and at the Marling Rest Home and the Scott Rest Home. Seniors had not done that for a long, long time, we were told. Before we knew it, everyone was talking and thinking of graduation. We chose our class motto, song, colors, flower, and we were measured for our caps and gowns.

What will life be like then? We do not know. It will be what we make it. These next fifty years will be no easier than the last fifty. There is no place in our way of life for those looking for an easy way. Take stock of our past; of our present might, rooted in a Christian democracy that enobles men, not degrades them. Ours is not a civilization to be dragged down by a medieval slave state. Take stock and take heart and be prepared to do your part. uperin tenden t p. rincipa MR. PAUL OAKLIEF Dwight L. Moody expressed the thought one time that Many of us have just enough religion to make us miserable but not enough to make us happy. The same condition is often true with education; too much of our incentive for and in education has degenerated into a vocational rat race so that we might have a head start on the 'Joneses . Being able to know when one is well off, having numerous satisfying sub- stitutes for buying a good time, or being able to see human greatness—to see the highest reach and scope of the spirit of man are also exchangeable in life for happiness. I doubt if people who have lived on all levels of income, from very small to very large, would say the thickness of their carpets ever did much for them, ever cured them of their inner discontent. 1 think only the love of those closest to us, friendship and the consciousness of work well done can ever do that. George Bernard Shaw wrote: This is true joy of life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. 28 Mr. Oaklief SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Vernon J.

LOUIE LATHAM—Louie didn't score too many points from the guard post but his accurate passes led to scores and he was a good team man; Louie probably played his best game in the tourney. HANK LATHAM—Hank moved up from last year's reserve squad to gain a starting berth as a guard on the varsity and improved in each ball game. Hank will be a valuable asset to next year's ball club.

Bob hit for 19, 17, and 14 points in his best nights, and played a good game in the tourney. ROGER PAGE—Roger was a good team player and adapt at rebounding from the forward slot.

After receiving successive thrumpings by Lima South 52-23, Upper Sandusky 41-19, Bellefontaine 33-18, and losing a close one to Bluffton 32-24, the Kenton Yearlings rallied to grab a pair from Findlay and Ada 32-25 and 34-31 . Coach White's boys lost to Bellefontaine and Bluffton in return engagements 34-19 and 34-29, but Findlay Donnell became the Frosh's third victim of the season 31-27.

Two beautiful programs of varied musical selections were presented at Thanksgiving and Christmas chapels and the choir also entered the district contests in various tests of ensemble and solo events. The choir selected March the ninth and tenth to present the delightful operetta Martha by Frederick Von Flotow which was a comedy in three acts portraying eighteenth century royalty. The story of Martha takes place in England where Lady Harriet Durham, played by Janet Vermillion, is a maid of honor to the Queen. She tires of the luxuries of life and seeks ad- venture with her companion Nancy, Ellen Buchhagen, and finds it when they attend a fair dis- guised as country girls. They are accidently bound into household service by two young farmers, Plunkett and Lionel, David James and Burke Ries, and continue the ruse using the names Martha and Julia. With the help of Martha's cousin Sir Tristam, Bob Gemmell, the two girls escape from their masters who are already in love with them. Once back in the royal court, they re- alize that they love their former masters but can do nothing about it. In the final act both couples are reunited after the startling revelation that Lionel is really the Earl of Derby and a fitting husband for Lady Harriet Durham as well as for the Martha whom he loves. 69 K.

In review, this is the way the story unfolds: Dad is a terrific efficiency expert, and it is his firm conviction that what works in the factory will work at home as well. He can't understand high school girls and despite his high school daughter's interest in boys and dates. Dad pushes ahead with better organization for his old-fashioned ideas. While Dad's methods of raising a family provide humor and fast-paced action, there is an important meaning and reason for it all. As the play opens, two of the young people are remembering a happy time at home. Mother had said, Right now is the happiest time in the world. Dad replied, That is the time when in the family you're all together—before anything has happened to anyone of you. The play was directed by Miss Isabel Sloan. It was dramatized by Mr. Perry Clark, Dramatic Publishing Company, New York. The cast is as follows: Mr. Gilbreth, Fred Barrett; Mrs. Gilbreth, Jessie Ward; Ernestine, Lois Norton; Frank, David James; Jackie, Don Conkle; Dan, Alvin Johnson; Bill, NormanGlock; Fred, Neil Lowe; Anne, Roberta Kinsey; Lillian, Florence Bidwell; Martha, Sally Wachalec; Mrs. Fitzgerald, Marcella Parrott; Dr. Burton, Bill Hale; Joe Scales, Bob Reid; Miss Brill, Joan Sacks; Larry, Bob Cooper.

Every student who could sing, dance, play a musical instrument, tell funny jokes, act out a pantomime, etc., was given the chance to participate. A special judging committee was selected from outside of the school; prizes were given to the winning students. The F.H.A. Banquet was held during the month of January. Mrs. White of Columbus was the guest speaker. Her topic was Denmark, the Dane. Providing the entertainment were the quartette composed of Mary Ann Height, Marcel la Parrott, Norma Jones, and Phyllis Ward; Lois Norton, who sang a solo; and Anne Daniels, who played a piano solo. Throughout the year the F.H.A. held several pot luck suppers. Top billing on the club's program was given to the square dances which were held jointly with the boys of the Future Farmers of America.

They are responsible for the wonderful aromas that permeate the halls before lunch time.
