CLASS HISTORY By Florence Bennett On a bright September morning in 1925, 40 small students came to school to begin their first school term. Miss Flo Brumley was our teacher in this grade. Of this number, there are five girls .and six boys remaining with us. They are Mary Jane Barton, Gilbert Dick, Thelma. Compton, Robert Eichar, Helen Hayzlett, Jimmy Kuntz, Dolores Mack, Robert Paul, Robert Prentiss, Paul Shreck, and Florence Bennett. We were Joined in this grade by Leila Jean Ackerman, Isabelle Powell, and Dorothy Smith. After safely passing the first year of our school life, we were promoted to the second grade where Miss Helen White taught us. Here we added John Perry to our list. We were very proud to complete successfully the next three grades under the supervision of the Misses Gladys Wagoner, Helen Starling, and Maxine Leffler, although no new members were added to our rank in these three years. While in the sixth grade, 'with Miss Mary Mapel as teacher, we welcomed Elizabeth Keeran to our list. There were now seventeen in our class. In the seventh grade, Clyde Finfrock and Floyd McDougle Joined our rank and Mary Draper joined us in the eighth grade, making twenty of us ready to enter high school. Mr. Foltz and. Mr. Shaffer were our teachers during these two years. When we entered high school in 1935, v e 'were joined by Elizabeth and George Evers, Richard Kretzer, Margaret Mullett, Dorvin Ritz, and Wayne Rayle of Liberty township; Esta Nesbit, Arlene Stevens, and Virginia Young of Van Buren township; Lewis Klass, Eugene Klausing, Joan Ottenweller, Dorothy Scheckelhoff, Carl Schroeder, Dora Siefker, and Robert Wagner of St. Mary's School; Nora May Morris, of Henry County. We were joined in the tenth grade by Madge and Mabel Newell from Belmore; Stephen Kaple from St. Peter and Paul; and Margaret Moore from Wheeling, West Virginia. In the eleventh grade we welcomed Richard Pfahler, Alice Siefker, and Helen McCullough. During -our last year of school, Don Welsh and Norma Brown of Belmore were welcomed to our rank as seniors, making our total number forty-six. During our junior year, we were very busy planning the banquet in honor of the seniors and in producing our class play, Cone Gut of the Kitchen. During our senior year we were very pleasantly entertained by the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Bancuet which was held on May 6. Our class play, It Pays to Advertise , was given on Aoril 30. On May 10, a senior dance was held in the gym,and on May 15, we took a trio to Detroit to see the Ford plant .and the Detroit Tines newspaper plant. On May 16, the Baccalaureate services were held, and the commencement exercises on May 21. Gur class picnic was held on May 18, at Catawba Islands. Our class officers for the past year were Gilbert Dick, president; Steohen Kaple, vice president; Leila Jean Ackerman, secretary; and Joan Ottenweller, treasurer. During our junior year, our officers were Gilbert Dick, president; Robert Wagner, vice president, Florence Bennett, secretary; and Eugene Kinusing, treasur r. When sophomores, Eugene Klausing served as president, Robert Wagner as vice president, Leila Jean Ackerman as secretary and Elizabeth Keeran as treasurer. Our officers for our freshman year were Francis Frey, president; Eugene Klausing, vice president; Mary Jane McLaughlin, secretary; and Edwin Inbody, treasurer. Our class colors were scarlet and white and our motto, Find a Way or Make One. Our flower was the red carnation. Although we have been together for only a short while, many friendships have been formed which can never be broken. May the thread which holds this grouo closely together be strong and firm so that it may always last. PROPHECY FOR THE CLASS OF 1937 By Mary Jane Barton A? I took my place at the alumni banquet table in the gymnasium on a warm evening in May, 1957, | was surprised to see so many faces from the Clas3 of 1937, around the festive board. There was, for instanco Le; a Jean Ackerman by the side of her husband, James Kuntz, famous heart specialist. I went up to them at once, and we all began to talk. Before long, James told me that he had been sizing up Florence Bennett s basketball team that afternoon and believed that they could win the coming year a county tournament. I soon learned that others of my class are still connected with the Leipsic school. Arlene Stevens, home economics instructor, had prepared the delicious dinner set before us from a cook-book written by Elizabeth Evers and Norma Brown. You will no doubt recognize them as the new ’'Sisters of the Skillet. They are joined in radio by Bob Prentiss, who has taken over the Sunday night Jello program, and hi 3 Mary Livingston, who is none other than Mary Jane McLaughlin. Then, there is Paul Shreck, super-snoop of the airlanes, who got away from his duties long enough to attend the dinner, and came over to supply me with further information. Paul said that Helen Hayzlett became the charming Mrs. Hook shortly after graduation) and that Bob Wagner, popular local M. 0., is at last engaged to Mary Draper, who has been living in the West for some time. Mary s old chum, Esta Nesbit, is Bob s pretty, efficient nurse (watch out, Mary | ), After listening to him for a few moments, and neglecting my coffee, I turned to my left to chat with Elizabeth Keeran and her beaming husband, Wayne Rayle (still very much the devoted couple). Wayne was bending an attentive ear to Isabelle Powell, who I understand is now matron of an exclusive girls school in the East. Isabelle must have been telling Wayne about her trips home on the Nickel Plate on which Gilbert Dick is the dashing conductor. Dora Siefker also rides home on the same train between literary engagmonts, since she is the recent winner of the Nobel Poetry Prize, and co-editor of the Woman s Home Companion. Dora� s sister, Alice, married the MSw York Yankees pitcher. Alice, who came a little late, confided in me that while downtown shopping in New York, she ran into Floyd McDougle who is operating an elevator in the Empire Stato Suild-i ng. Following the banquet, Robert Eicher, prominent painter of the Water Lily (which is, in reality, Virginia Young in a bathing suit), walked up with his friend, Robert Scott Paul, spark plug king. They asked about Don Welsh, who was not present because he was making a flight in his plane, the Lady Bugj and Dick Pfahler. I told them that I had seen Dick rattling across country in his agony-wagon to check on his string of gas stations. Dick is now sole owner of the sti11-broken-down-puddle- jumper. When they left, | waylaid Mr, and Mrs. Eugene Klausing long enough to inquire about Eugene s voice. (He strained his vocal chorda too much at a football game last fall and hasn t been able to croon since). You can imagine what a blow this was to his wife, the former Helen McCullough. A crooner isn� t always a crooner, recall that this was Helen's pet idea in the days of 37. A crooner isn't always a crooner although you wi 11 in front of me. Upon clo the Newell sisters.

At least, it's close enough for Stephen Kaple, grain operator, to drive to and fro, visiting Joan Ottenweller. Joan works at the bank on the corner. They are to marry soon. I never thought much about speeding before, but maybe I will, because Lewis Klass spun around me on a familiar, brown motorcycle. Just before he said that he would let me go this time, Lewis asked me if I would run down to a certain bungalow on South Main Street and tell the little woman (Dolores Mack) that he wouldn't be home for supper. When | arrived, Dolores was trying to force spinach down her four-year old daughter, Dolores said that she had received a long letter Vfrom Mr, and Mrs. Carl Schroeder, Mrs. Schroeder is the former Margaret Mullet, daring trapeze performer.

Just as I boarded my train, I saw another classmate, Margaret Moore. Margaret never married, but is prominent politically in the South, one of her duties being that of state supervisor for the Home for Deficient Children. Dorothy Smith is her assistant. For some time following her graduation, Dorothy thought she would marry a farm boy near Leipsic, but changed her mind. Margaret mentioned Dorothy Scheckelhoff, who was in Paris when last heard of, having been sent overseas to buy originals for a style shop on Fifth Avenue owned by Dorvin Ritz. Dorvin used to be famous as a fourth Ritz brother. What a pleasuro it had teen to attend the banquet and to Ietrn of my old classmates whom I shall always remember because they are eternally associated with the happy school days at Lsipsic high. FIND A WAY OR MAKE ONE Dear Senior Class: We're leaving The arms of Leipsic High. The time has come to bid it A sad but fond good-bye. But 'ere we reach the crossroad That will sever school-day bonds, Let us listen to this counsel; Let it be our guiding wands. When the shades of night have fallen On the brightest rays of light, And the stars that guide our footsteps Seem to vanish from our sight, We must struggle in the darkness Till the bitter fight is won. We must cling to this, our motto, Find a way or make one. When we find our path obstructed By a wall of scorn or hate. Let us not give up the battle. For it isn't Just our fate. It's the test of love and V8lor, And it comes to everyone. It's the time to try our motto, Find a way or make one. Then when life's path is trodden And we've reached the goal at last, We can smile at fearful memories Of the hard and bitter past. We have fought the battle fairly And a victory we hove won. We have let our motto guide us, Find a way or make one. Sincerely yours, Dora A. Siefker LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1937 By James Kuntz We, the senior class of the Leipsic high school, of the village of Leipsic, county of Putnam, and state of Ohio, being of full age and of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. While we are still conscious and responsible for our actions, we hereby will all of our property, both real and personal, to our beloved high school, in the year of our Lord, one tnousand nine hundred and tnirty-seven. Item. I. To the accomplished Juniors we be-queatn our exquisitely polished desks with all of the prestige that accompanies these positions of honor. To them, we also leave our counsellors, the charming Miss Timmerman, and tiie highly esteemed Mr. Edwards, to guide them along the straight and narrow way becoming to a senior. In addition, we leave to them the examples of our ways, challenging them to beware of our pitfalls and ever to seek to improve upon our good points. We charge them to set fine ethical examples for the underclassmen and to maintain the highest ideals for Leipsic high. . Item. II. To the sophisticated sophomores, we regretfully bequeath our most treasured heirlooms: our books, worn with constant ap- plication. Item. III. To the verdant freshmen who are soon to become upperclassmen, we leave our frowns and words of warning in disapproval of tneir babyish antics, and trust that they will apply the same to the next batch of greenies. All the above we do give to have and to hold forever. Signed, sealed, and published, we declare this to be our last will and testament. Seniors of 1937, L. H. S. Witnesses: I. Klllera, Doctor I.

Gilbert Dick, senior president, welcomed the freshmen, and Richard Powell, the newly elected freshmen president, gave the response. The evening was spent in playing games and singing around a large outdoor fire. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake were served by waitresses from the junior class.

The sophomores were in charge of the entertainment; the Juniors, the menu; and the seniors, the program.
