Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1939 volume:

Q-Ur THE 17th LIBERTY BELL 1 9 3 9 1 LI ICY We, the Staff, present this yearbook to you in the hope that it will serve as a pleas- ant reminder of all the joyous days spent at Liberty during '38 and '39, May you, in the years to come, leaf through the pages of The Liberty Bell and recall this school year with the oft-quoted phrase, I re- member. DEDICATED TO YOUTH CF AMERICA In honor of American youth and What they mean in making the future of our country, we, the seniors of nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, Wish to dedicate this, the seventeenth volume of the Liberty Bell. -3- ATTITUDES I. Human Relationships II. Mental Growth and Development lll. Varied Interests IV. Fair Play and Physical Development V. Cooperation -4- In order to have a sound and concrete founda- tion for our government of tomorrow, we must educate the youth of today. We believe a liberal education is the most ideal way to continue this function. The proper idea to get the American youth idea across in the democracy and school this pro- gram may be used: I. Human Relationship, II. Mental Growth and Development, III. Varied In'- terests, IV. Fair Play and Physical Development and V. Cooperation. So that we may overcome all the isms which are trying to take hold, we must have a strong American youth. When the other national gov- ernments have fallen to ruin We will retain a strong democracy only if our youth is educated and prepared to take their places in the World of tomorrow. -,5- HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS The relationship among the class, each indi- vidual, and the teachers, is very definite. Each group or individual learns to cooper- ate with others in both duties and social activities. The various forrns of Work and pleasure make for desirable relations and better understandings among all concerned. -7- Left to Right: Paul Swisher, Ray Zeisloft, Harley Radebaugh, Victor Sink, Harry Bair. THE SCHOOL BOARD Our Board of Education is composed of well-qualified citizens who have been chosen by the community to be in charge of the general welfare of the school. It is their duty to select the faculty, decide on questions concerning the school, and attend to the financial business of the insti- tution. Their task is not an easy one and they have performed, and still are performing, their duties in an admirable manner, although they are not always given the credit which is justly due them. At the January ,meeting they reorganized, electing Mr. Victor Sink as President, Mr. Harry Bair, Vice President, and Mr. Paul Swisher as Clerk. Mr. Sink replaced Mr. Harley Radebaugh, who was the former president. Mr. Ray Zeisloft is the other member of the board. -3- IRVIN L. CONRAD Superintendent Physical Growth, Mental Develop- ment, Fair Play,-all the things men- tioned in our yearbook depend on lead- ership of the right kind, and Mr. Conrad has given us just that. Taught when young to be independent of others, he has tried to teach us the same thing- to be able to stand on our own feet, and to face the world with confidence. He has helped us to make decisions and to choose our courses. Yet he has not been just a teacher, but a friend as well, winning friends everywhere with his pleasant manner and dry humor. RALPH D. ALLOWAY Principal Brought up in an atmosphere of re- spect for superiors, he has been quick to notice the lax attitude of our stu- dents, and has tried to correct it. As a result he is always asking us to act like ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Allo- way is a good conversationalist-an in- teresting man with whom anyone can talk. He has been our football coach for the four years he has been here, and basketball coach for the last two. Whether we win or lose is always re- flected in his spirit. -.-9..

INTERESTS School is not all class room study. Much of school is the other interests which have been introduced. Glee clubs, basketball, foot- ball, Ag and Home Ec. clubs and many other such activities have helped make life at Lib- erty a pleasure rather than a monotony of hard work. 1271 ANNUAL STAFF A great deal of work is necessary to produce a school year book.

GRADE OPERETTA The first six grades presented an operetta ln Quest of Santa Claus on December 19th. Jane, a little girl who is anxious to find Santa, starts off in Search of him. She expects help from the Woodpeople, but she has not been a good girl, so the Spirits will not help her. After she shows kindness to some of the people the Spirits help her lind her way. Jane loses her way and wanders into the cave of the Spirit of Selfishness, she is rescued by the Spirit of Love who helps her find Santa Claus. Jane was played by Sara Hartman, and Santa Claus by Richard Payne. Others in the cast are: Kindness, Claribel Henry, Helpfulness, Jean Fry, Goodwill, Dorothy Movvreyg Unselfishness, Patricia Sink, Love, Colleen Van Meter, Wongaloo, Billy Bell, Captain, Leon Trout. Supporting the cast were other members of the grades in the choruses. ..30... ORCHESTRA The Liberty High School Orchestra under the direction of Miss Miller is less than one year old. The participants range from the sixth grade to the eleventh grade. Miss Miller says there is much talent in the musical line of our school, so they are hoping for the best in the future. The orchestra has played at several social gatherings recently and has received much applause from the community audience. This is taking a great step into the future musical world, because it means that the members are far enough advanced in their special instrumental knowledge that they can contribute satisfactory evidence to the community listeners.

In an effort to forget Sandy, Alan goes west to his ranch, which he converts into a tourist camp. Lettice Bank and her family follow Alan west and camp on some land adjourning Alan's ranch, which turns out to be some very valuable oil land owned by Geraldine Bank, a niece. John Drayton, wishing to locate Jerry for the purpose of buying her land for a syndicate of which he is a member, hires Hunter, a detective, to assist him. When he Hnds that Hunter is cheating so as to get the land for himself, he fires him. The girls have done quite well in their music this year.

Although she did not play enough quar- ters to earn a letter she receiv- ed a service letter for her loy- alty. JANE MOORHEAD Jane has received a letter for the past two years and was a member of the squad for three. As a senior forward she made the most points for our team. NINA FLICK Although she didn't receive a suit on the regular team, Nina, who is a senior guard, receiv- eizl a service letter for her loy- z' ty. MISS MOORHEAD MR. CONRAD Mr. Conrad as the coach and Miss Moorhead as assistant have ably guided and directed our girls' team. One of their greatest achievements is that they have taught the girls to be good losers as well as good win- ners. The number of girls remaining in basketball and keeping training rules proves their great respect for them. MARGARET POWELL Peg has been a guard on the team for three years and this year was elected captain. Peg is a senior, therefore we lose one of our most valuable players. DELORES SCHOONOVER Schoony was a deserving forward but because of illness she was un- able to complete the season. She graduates this year and received a service letter. ALBERTA WINKLER Bert was a senior forward that fitted in with the team very well. She was always ready to do her duty on the team. KEITHA ZEISLOFT Playing her first year as guard, Keitha made the first squad, and with Helen and Peg formed Lib- erty's defense. Keit is a junior, so will be here next year to con- tinue her playing.

HELEN CLYMER Fast and full of determination to win, Helen is a junior guard who won a letter last year and will be back next year to at- tempt to help win a champion- ship for Liberty. BELVA POWELL With very little actual experi- ence Belva still ranked very close to Jane as pointmaker for the team. She was a snap- py senior forward.

JANE MOFFITT Jane a senior guard, was a part-time member of the squad. She received a service letter for her determination to do her part for Liberty. 1lED'n.-kgf MAX WEST Max was the biggest man on 'the squad but despite that he handled himself well.
