Yes, it's startling,l agree with you, but it's a fact. Our own AMBROSE ELLIOTT wailed his first sharp greeting to the world in Conners- ville, Indiana, late one night. His first ambition was to play-what, I don't know. But in his younger days he was known as Desperate Ambrose , a character in the funny papers at that time. Fortunately for him and also for us he likes most his very attractive wife and he likes least, Latin. Desperate Ambrose's ideal man is, as it should be,Jesusg and his ideal woman is Eve. I can't understand the lat- ter. Ialways thought men held a grudge against her. Jack Benny is his favorite actor and Dagmar is his favorite actress. And he's a teacher. He respectfully admits that he doesn 't have much life history except that he was born, grew up Qisn't he luckyj and married in 1934. He has also had his picture taken occasionally. He always yells Sshh ---- Now shut up . Ever since CHARLES PAYNE was a little boy in Pine Hill, Kentucky, his deep ambition was to become a man. . .now look at him! When the people up here discovered Chick 's ability, there was a little commotion between the two states. After a while the disagree- ment was settled, and we got the country bumpkin. This small incident was later to be known as the Civil War. He attended Lockland and excelled in all sports. We were proud of his record in the second world war. As a sergeant in the infantry he served in Luxembourg, Belgium, England, France, and Germany. After all this he was quite tired and needed a new pair of shoes. He received his fine educa- tion at the University of Cincinnati. Chick has traveled along the east coast from Maine to Miami. He likes Canada best and has been there many times. Chick was born an outdoor man since he doesn't fit in the house. MR. SHELL was born in Elleston, Ohio, some time ago. His first ambition was to become a policeman, but he decided to strike a higher level by being a principal. He obtained his degrees at Wittenberg College and the University of Cincinnati. His love for cigars over-shadows his hatred for chewing of gum. His double, Winston Churchill, is his ideal man. He stated his ideal woman as being Mrs. Shell. His favorite actor is Walter Pigeon: his favorite actress, Mary Martin. Since his marriage. he has been an assistant storekeeper for the Hospital of the insane, a private tutor, and a school teacher. His travels have taken him all over the United States with the ex- ception of the New England states. He has also visited Canada. Mr. Shell's favorite saying is Let's not be juvenile. MISS FRANCES DYE was born on a farm and had many pleasant times there. But this was not enough. She didn't like to be fenced in. So she started traveling to just small, unknown places--Maine, Florida, Texas, Boston, South Dakota, and California. She went to the west coast via the Panama Canal Zone. She has also taken the grand tour through Europe. Miss Dye isa very conscientious and hard- working woman whom we shall, remember as a sweet lady who would stop her work to help any one find a book that he needed. If one didn't know her too well, he would think the only word she had in her vocabulary was Sshh. . MR. DALLMER says that he was born in Middletown, Ohio, on August 7, 1924. His first ambition was to learn to walk. Mr. Dallmer went to Hamilton High, where he was in the same class with Mrs. Dallmer, but he didn't meet her until after he was discharged from the service. Mr. Dallmer likes spinach least and likes basketball most. His ideal man is the one who strives hard for what he wants and his ideal woman is his wife. His fa.vorite actor is Gary Cooper, his favorite actress, Doris Day. He has traveled all over Europe and the United States. He can frequently be heard saying to his basketeers, 'Are you tired? Mr. Dallmer played basketball for the Bearcats, started on first string for four years, was awarded most valuable player trophy for three years, and was captain for two years. MR. JOHN BUECHNER was born, he thinks. His first ambition was to cry. He says he was a basketball star in grade school, but faded out in high school and finally woke up in college. Beaky likes most his wife and likes least chipped beef and garlic. His favorite ac- tor is Spencer Tracy and his ideal man is Mr. Roettger. His favorite actress is Rhonda Fleming and his ideal woman, Miss Love. He has traveled North, South, East, and West. His favorite saying is Analyze the situation. He was in the Civil Service in the last war and helped with marines and sailors. MR. MILAM, a newer member of our faculty, has become well established in his industrial arts teaching. In answer to our uestion concerning birth he said, Oh, yes, I had one. He stated his ambition is to find a way to save up the surplus energy of a sevenfh grad- er and present it to him five years later at the beginning of his senior year. His alma mater was Ohio University, where he enjoyed his favorite, apple pie a la mode. One of his dislikes is an effusive woman. His ideal man is Well, after all! He stated his ideal woman as being his wife. His favorite actor is Ronald Coleman, and his favorite actress, Betty Hutton. When asked of his life history, he an- swered. This book is too short. His extensive travels have amounted to Portsmouth. Ohio. His one thought during our question period was This, too, shall pass. MR. MORRIS was born. he says,Ianuary 25, 1897, in a little town in Illinois. His first ambition was to be a teacher. He attended the Western Illinois State Teachers College, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Cincinnati. He enjoys eating but would rather the menu didn't contain prunes. His ideal man is Einstein, and his ideal woman, his wife, He enjoys watching Popeye and Minnie Mouse on the screen. Mr. Morris has traveled all over the United States and Canada. He says his favorite saying is, When do we eat? But we have found that it is, One of us is going to leave, and it's not going to be me! MISS NORMA JEAN HORNER, known as Coach by all of her students, is well loved by everyone. She was born in this century way back in 1923. The city of McComb, Mississippi, is now famous for this fact. Her first ambition was to talk, and she has been doing a good job of talking since. This is her first year here as a teacher, but she was a beloved student at dear old Lockland High several years ago. She was graduated from Lockland in 1942 and then went into defense work at the William S. Merrell Chemical Company. As you look at our beautiful marble memorial hall, you will see her name carved upon it for serving two years for her country in the Women's Army Corps. She went to Mississippi Delta State Teachers College and there received her bachelor of science degree. Coach loves Michigan summers but for some reason or other she dislikes snakes. Most young women have an ideal man: well, our Coach is not any different. Her ideal man is a cotton planter in the grand state of Mississippi. Miss Horner has traveled throughout the United States, Canada, and Oh! we must not forget Texas! Her favorite saying is, Relax! and it seems as though in swimming class that is the only thing she can say. Another interesting thing about Coach is that her ideal woman is Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Her favorite actor is Spencer Tracy and her favorite actress is Joan Crawford. MR. DUNGAN was born in the little country village of Greenwood, Indiana. Believe it or not, he wanted to become a motorman. ln a different sort of way he has fulfilled that ambition by driving his students so gracefully. Here are some secrets that have puzzled us for some fourteen years, but by close observation the class of 52 has uncovered some hidden facts. He likes movies and dislikes preach- ing. The latter, to us, is hard to understand, but facts will be facts. His ideal man is Teddy Roosevelt Qeasy to understandj and his ideal woman is his grand-daughter. His favorite actress is Myrna Loy and his favorite actor, Robert Taylor. By no means is it a secret that he was a farmer first and then a grain business salesman. He has traveled all over the United States and Mexico. We all know that his travels proved quite educational. We will never forget Mr. Dungan and his stern, meaningful manner in which he said, Well now, stu- dents, let's come to order.

MISS CATHERINE SMALLWOOD, like other ladies, doesn't like to tell her age, but we know that she must have been born on the short- est day of the year in the sunniest of months. She has helped us in naming the year by saying Go ask my Mother. She gave up her first ambition of becoming a famous musician when she went to Indiana University. It was here that she met her English authors and Latin Classics. Her desire to travel is superceded only by her love of teaching. She would leap at the chance to take a two or three year trip to some foreign land. She doesn't like to arise early, so the chickens on her farm will just have to crow a little louder. Her favorite actor is Ronald Coleman. Except for her travels through, Canada, United States, Mexico, and Cuba her life history hasn't even begun yet. We thank Miss Small but mighty Smallwood for being so sweet to us. We feel it is unusual for an English teacher to be appreciated, let alone loved and respected by her students. MISS JEAN LOVE states that Walter Pidgeon is her ideal man. The question is, Would Walter Pidgeon say that of her? We are sure, regardless of what anyone says, that they have profited from their association with Miss Love. Hamilton may well be proud of their na- tive daughter who has succeeded as an English teacher. Through her endeavors, she has been able to travel throughout most of North and Central America. She said My life has been a series of exciting events. We know that up to now it must have been exciting, for she is capable of having a good time with all types of people. When you hear her melodious voice give out with Quit horsing around the halls , you know that some students are up to their old tricks again. We'll remember her for the appreciation of American Literature she has imparted to us. MR. HERALD ROETTGER, like most great men, was born of humble parents near Celina Ohio. Celina High School was very glad to have him graduate. . .there were too many basketballs missing! He attended Findlay College until the World War came along - the first that is. It really wasn't his fault that he got mixed up in all this. I-Ie signed enlistment papers instead of an unemployment check. You have to hand it to him, thoughg he was quite a fighter. After he has spent only three months in the army, the war was over. I'm glad I wasn't around when Mr. Morris and Mr. Roettger were in the war, or else I would have cashed in my war bonds. Mr. Roettger worked at many places as long as the other employees could stand it. Some of these places were Liggett and Meyers in Podunk County and Goodyear in Akron, where he made basketballs. He finished his education at American College of Physical Education and Ab-Nor- mal. Lockland felt sorry for him and signed him up in 1924. Since he didn't receive enough money from school, he sold basketballs. If a trip around the world in an airplane were one dollar, Mr. Roettger wouldn't have enough money to get to the airport. When we asked him of his first ambition, he didn't know what we were talking about. MR. LEFLAR, known to everyone as Chief or Mayor , is very ambitious. His first ambition was Cheaper By the Dozen. It seems that he has made a wonderful start. His ideal woman is his wife fsince he doesn't want to get killedj, and his ideal man, is AbeLincoln. Chief does not like everything in life, because he dislikes Pharasees. He was a graduate from Ohio Wesleyan and also Miami. Chief's life history is very confusing, I was born in Lockland, lived in Lockland, and refuse to die. Mr. Leflar has traveled in Europe, Canada, Alaska, United States, and Mexico. If any of you were in any of his classes, I know you remember Chief by Wi1l you buy that? , and The rich get richer and the poor get children. Yes, MR. DEMAR was born, for he didn't know of any other way of getting here. Since he likes ice cream and dislikes alarm clocks, it doesn't seem that he has realized his first ambition of outgrowing infancy. We are proud of his finest achievement: becoming a math teacher-without going to college. fl-Ie forged his teaching certificatej. In trying to understand a person, it is helpful to know whom they admire. Mr. DeMar's ideal woman is Mrs. DeMar and his ideal man is Popeye. As far as the theater is concerned, he would rather watch Hopalong Cassidy or Wilhelmina Schnickelholtzer than anyone else. Slwe are pffering a prize to anyone who knows who Wilhelmina Schnickelholtzer isy. Mt. DeMar arrived in this world in 1024 -typograp ical error. After attending Maderia he started to U.C. in enineering, but after three months, Uncle Sam said, Greetings . I spent 33 months helping him out, mostly as an anti-alr- craft machine gunner. Promotions came rapidly and by the time I was discharged, I was already a Pfc. I returned to U.C. engineering, since it was the only school that would have me. I transferred to Teachers College, and was graduated in 1948. Ireceived my Masters Degree from U.C. in 1951. 'I traveled with the Army in the United States, Canada, Scotland, England, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Czech- oslovakia, Switzerland. My favorite saying: Ie ne sais pas, QI do not knowJ. MR. ROBERT SUFFRIDGE was born, to the best of his knowledge in Knoxville, Tennessee, on the fateful day of April 6, 1921. His first ambition in life, to be a policeman, was decided after his first day in school. For his education he attended Ohio Wesleyan Univer- sity. After long debate Mr. Suffridge decided he should like his wife most and garlic least, or was it the other way around? Achilles is his ideal man and Helen of Troy, his ideal woman. Edward Arnold is his favorite actor and M. McCambridge, his favorite actress. He has traveled all over the South Pacific while in the employ of Uncle Sam. His favorite saying is, You should always strive for perfec- tion, but if you obtain it or not is immaterial --a very good motto by which to live. MISS ABER is certainly an inspiration to all of her pupils. She works unceasingly to encourage activities in her field. Her cheerful smile and pleasant voice seem to give that extra push when it is needed. Traveling has broadened her education. She has visited forty- one states, Mexico, Alaska, Burmuda, Cuba, Central America, and Southern Canada. Miss Aber attended Wilmington College after be- ing graduated from Hillsboro High School. Before coming to Lockland in 1940, she taught at Martinsville, Ohio, and Blue Ash. She strives constantly to build character, poise, and personality. Her favorite saying is, I'll take only a minute of your time. Even though we don't see her much around school because ofthe location of her department, we know she is around by her activity at class plays and othlelr Extra curricular activities. Working patiently as she encourages the students on toward the road to success, Miss Aber fits right in wit t em. A little bundle of many inspiring traits is our MISS PAXTON. She was born in Liberty, Indiana. To be a house wife was her first am- bition. But we see her today on the same track teaching our Future Homemakers of Tomorrow. She is a graduate of Indiana University and Miami University. Miss Paxton likes enough time, which she never has. Her worst enemy is chewing gum. You know that for cer- tain girls! Her ideal man is a tall, dark and handsome one who can wear a two-year-old coat as though it were a mink. Her favorite actor is Ronald Coleman and her favorite actress is Mrs. Coleman. It seems that Miss Paxton has really been around--Virginia, Florida, New England, California, and Canada. We will always remember Miss Paxton by her favorite saying, The person who can safely break the rules is the one who knows the rules. MISS GRETCHEN SCOTT was born, we think,on a bright summer day in the early twenties in a village called McConnelsvil1e, Ohio, Her first desire was to be a grade school teacher. Miss Scott was a graduate of DePauw University. Most ofall she likes to eat and sleep. That's why she looks so healthy and nice. Her father is her ideal man, but she hasn't given up hope yet, just because her life history has been uneventful so far. She has traveled to New England, through the South and Mexico. The sophomores have heard this a thousand and one tiiges, All right, now, let's get quiet. Her Spanish pupils will verify that nearly everyday she asked, E, Que tiene usted en la oca--el c icle?
