Hurd With sincere and deep appreciation for the sportsmanship, integ- rity, and clean living he has taught us, we, the pupils of Lodi School dedicate this issue of Hilltop Echoes to Mr. Hurd. For thirteen yexrs Mr. Hurd has coached our basketball team with amazing results of a total of ten county tournament and league cham- pionships. He is noted for his calmness and steadying influence to a team. His genial smile and calm attitude, win or lose, are a sight to behold and to be proud of. Mr. Hurd serves not only in the capacity of coach but also as principal of our school. This position should give him the title of excuse-writer extraordinary, for if you have a plausible excuse for being tardy or absent Mr. Hurd will gladly write you out one of those slips with a smile and a joke accompanying it. Now after thirteen years of grand leadership in our school and community Mr. Hurd has been engaged to teach at a larger school, an advancement well deserved by him. We are sorry to see you leave Mr. Hurd, but we wish you al] happiness and success in your new endeavors. Board of Education Cc. H. LANCE J. E. RICE -H. F. PARKER Vice President President J. C.

There were forty bewildered in- fants to file into the first grade room s under the guidance of Miss O’Hara and Miss Kline. They quickly acquired a feeling of independence and intelligence. Those members who have remained in the class for the full twelve years are Joanne Rice, Ann Bartholomai, Pauline Semai, Merle Seal, Dick Reynolds, Edith Rothstein, Edward Harrington, Carl Reed, Marcia Priest, June Mickey, Eileen Warner, Junior Marvin, Wilbur Lance, Philip Konrad, Bob Horner, Carol Burr, Bob McGarvey, Ruth Beu, Don Hastings, Ruth Fosnight, Lee Faulkner, Carol Elliott, Stanley Eicheler, Louise Decker, Edmund Crosby. 1930-35—New pupils detected in the class during this period were Robert Whitney, John Schneider, Hoyt Smith, Bob Bachtel, Wanda Flint, Eleanor Grannis and Mary Barsic. During this period certain members endured the usual number of bumps, bruises, and broken bones, while the teachers, Miss Pelton, Mrs. Whitney, Miss Vanasdal, Miss Wilford, Miss Edwards, Miss Blust, and Miss Eppley, administered the usual number of paddlings. 1935-37—Mr. Bowland placed many of us in detention hall by means of little white slips, for no reason at all of course; and Mrs. Behnke and Mr. Cochran helped to guide us in our eighth year of school. At about this time Lottie Humbel and Jane Warner joined the class. 19837—Many new pupils from Lafayette greeted us as we entered the freshman home rooms, which were guarded by Mrs. Behnke and Mr. Cochran. Those from Lafayette who have survived are Pauline Lance, Richard Bloch, Don Auble, Rich- ard Waltz, Harold Ault, Class officers were Eileen Warner, president; Elizabeth Hofstetter, vice president; Joanne Rice, secretary and treasurer, and Carl Reed, student council representative. 1938—Guardians were Miss Garbison and Mr. Mosher. Two new members, Jean Som- mer and Norma Rickel were admitted to the class. Class officers: Jane Warner, president; Dick Reynolds, vice president; Jean Sommer, secretary and treasurer; Eileen Warner, Car] Reed, student council representatives. 1939-—-An X-ray of the junior class showed that its structure was composed of Jean Sommer, president; Edward Harrington, vice president; Edith Rothstein, secre- tary; Eileen Warner, treasurer; Joanne Rice and Eleanor Grannis, student council representatives. Supervisors were Miss Tittle and Mr. Heim. New students were Ruth Aukerman, Dorothy Byers, Jean Smith, and Naomi Taylor. Symptoms: The junior class play, “Cheerio, My Deario,” November 17; the junior- senior banquet, in the high school gymnasium. 1940—Guardian, Miss Mowrey, in charge of Room 21. One new student, Frances Wingard, entered the class. Officers were Jean Sommer, president; Junior Marvin, vice president; Jane Warner, secretary; Edward Harrington, treasurer; Joanne Rice and Bob McGarvey, student council representatives. Symptoms: Senior class play, “Campus Quarantine,” May 16; banquet May 24; baccalaureate May 25; graduation May 29.

[23] Looking Into The Future One day as I was crossing the Railroad track, I was hit by an oncoming train and was knocked unconscious. While I was in this state of mind, the future years of about 1950 came to me very clearly. As I passed a New York library, my feet hurting as usual, I stopped to rest them. The librarian, who looked vaguely familiar, was Janice Briggs. She showed me a book, “Points of English,” by a well-known author, Howard Severns. He always was an ideal student in English. After a long talk with her I started off again. Two men who turned out to be Merle Fraze and Bob Sewell were pasting advertisement posters on a large bill-board. As I glanced at the poster I noticed there were cars on it drawn by Johnny Gyure. Having decided to buy a car at the next garage, I went into a large show-room with a lot of Oldsmobiles in the window. I was surprised to find that Jack Fetzer was the owner, and that Elizabeth Grimm served as his secretary. I had heard and read about a large farm upstate in New York owned and run by a wealthy woman. I decided to see this farm for myself, so I drove my car in and told them that I would like to see the owner. I was shown into the library where I found Gladine Tanner, the owner, lying on the davenport. She told me that she had been thrown off a horse just before I got there. The doctor, a big society doctor at that, just came in. It was Dick Young, and the nurse was Norma Whitemyer. Gladine wasn’t hurt badly so after I had rested I started back to town. On the road back to New York City I had to pass an exclusive school for girls. There on the lawn was Doris Fetzer who told me that she ran this school. I learned that Doris Lang also taught French there. Soon I was on my way again. I came to an army camp where I stopped my car along the side of the road to watch some of the maneuvers. Dick Crum, now a full- fledged commander, was having scme difficulty in showing Harry Cash how to shoot straight. Then I noticed that Vera Krupar, Joann Shaw, Helen Jenny, and Marie Yoder were hostesses at the camp. After speaking to them, I was on my way again. Arriving in New York I went to a high-class beauty shop whose supervisor was none other than Walter Curry. The girls who worked there were Doris Garberich, Eloise Lance, Fern Baker, and Arline Hagans. Deciding I’d better get some rooms for the remainder of my stay, I stopped at a very expensive looking hotel. There was Ralph Hall the desk clerk with Ray Paukert and Merle Yergin, bell-boys and Norma Kapp, telephone girl. In the evening I went into the dining room where a wonderful dance orchestra was playing. I thought that the haircut on the maestro looked familiar and when he turned around I recognized Joe Leatherman. His trumpet soloist was Tom Croskey Callaway, his trombone player was Roland McClain Dorsey, his clarinet player was the swing king Eugene Kobb Shaw ‘and as vocalist he had Wee Bonnie Baker Helen Curtis Joe’s manager was none other than Dean Rowe, and his musical arrangers were Frank Lescak and Shorty Ryan. Just then a sudden news bulletin interrupted the program. Flash—The well known explorers Jack White and Harold Grimm have not been found yet. The search for them will continue. They were last seen swimming the Hellespont. The next day I decided to go to church to hear and see this famous woman preacher under the name of Madame Turner, but it was none other than Jane Rumbaugh. The ushers of the church were Joe Pandur and Bob Dearth. Having nothing to do in the afternoon I went on a trip through the National Broadcasting Company. There was the famous tobacco auctioneer Joe Warnes and his assistant Charlie Taylor. They always were good at talking. Next I passed a men’s tailor shop owned by Forest Shriver and Joe Dylinski. Then I decided to visit the famous New York airport where I ran into a couple of my old school-mates who had taken up flying—Howard Gray and Reginald Reed. As I looked across the field I saw a group of people watching a plane take off from the run- way. I asked Howard who it was and he said it was Joe Miller testing out one of the new planes that he had just designed. As I went into a restaurant to get a sandwich, I noticed that the waiters were Albert Jameyson and Paul Jenny. Just then the Southern Transport came in and I watched the people getting off. There was Mell Towslee, now a famous lawyer and his secretary George Wingard right behind him. The hostesses were Clara Travis and Audrey Taylor. James Mapes was the mechanic who was checking over the plane. ; ’ I came to finally and felt that this had been old home week. Written by Helen Curtis assisted by Doris Lang and Norma Whitemyer.

On September 9, 1941, fifty-one students gathered in room 11 to start another year. Mr. Charles Skurvid took cover his duties as Sophomore Class home-room teacher. During the year two new m embers, Dick Smith and Robert Rogers, joined our class and three members left to enter other schools. They were Dorothy Wakefield, Richard Smith, and Marian Yergin. After a few days of schedule changing, worried looks, and general rushing around the class was organized and class activities were started under the guidance of the newly elected class officers: OLN PON tee tame ewe ey eee Tt eS President irnesteGyures2oe= swe Ss oe ee Vice President Doris; OOMM er asa sae ae ae Secretary Marj oriew 1a Glee ae ae ae oe eee Treasurer Janet Bartholomai, Alethia Davis___Student Council Mare Chariesss kl yices aes eee eee ele Adviser HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR Sophomore Assembly Program The Junior and Senior High pupils rocked with hilarious gaiety when they witnessed the riotous Sophomore Assembly. Everycne came prepared to be bored to death, but was surprised into laughter. The Sophomore band opened the program. A push button program was broadcast from station L. O. D. I., sending the audience into gaies of mirth. The Sophomores next presented a play entitled “The Hero Returns”—a real old-fashioned melodrama with the audience joining in with the hearty cheers, jeers, and tears. In between acts of the melodrama, a very red nosed barbershop quartet rendered a few sweet (and some not-s o-sweet) melodies. Stanley Dague played a solo on his baritone horn. A short skit on “How Not To Buy a Bathing-suit,” was given by Doris Sommer, Marjorie Piatt, and Barbara Whitright. Thus the merry Sophcmores ended their Assembly, as the students marched out holding their aching sides. Class Party Oh happy, happy day! Sadie Hawkins was on the way, so was the date for the Sophcmore’s class party and the Sophomore rocm was in an uproar. The boys were huddled in a corner with worried looks on their faces and the ornery gals were enjoying it all immensely. This was bad enough for the menfolk, but to ton it off the gals de- manded a Sadie Hawkins class party. It was decided that everyone should come as hisi favcrite Dogpatch character. The fatal night arrived and what a night! There were Lil’ Abners, Marrin’ Sams, and Daisy Maes galore. The evening was spent dancing and playing games. Following this refreshments were served. Everyone agreed that it was one of the best parties the class had ever had, and the class voted to have mcre like it in the future. Basketball This year the Reserve Squad, composed of 7 Sophomores, 4 Juniors, and 1 Senior, played excellent basketball, came through the season undefeat ed. The boys may well be congratulated on their good work, and we wish them all the best of luck next year. Bright (and Some Not So Bright) Sayings of the Year A reverie, according to Rod Grimm, is a picce they play in the army to get the soldiers up in the morning. Rod also thinks that the “Tennis Court Oath” was a declaration that Frenchmen couldn’t play tennis in France. Winfred McVicker asked before having his picture taken for the annual, “Is my nose shiny?” Gerald Patterson inquiring for the same reason, “Hcw dces my hair look?” Frank Mikaec to John Snell, “I dare you to ask that guy if that’s his nose, or a tomato he’s eating. Miss Mowrey, “The principal parts of the Latin verb dico, are “dico,” “dicere”’_-_- Winfred McVicker, “Dec,” (the mouse ran up the clock.) Incidents Well Worth Noting Ernest Gyure washing dishes at the class party. (Where cid you learn, Ernie?) The strange disappearance of Dick March’s glasses. (Don’t give up, Dick, there’s always a chance cf a mistake.) John Snell’s love for afternoon walks cn spring days (any Monday, Tuesday, Wed- nesday, Thursday, or Fridav will do nicely, thank you.) Doris Sommer and her “Sprained eyebrow.” (Result of a basketball game.) Leroy Harsh’s passion for skippirg fourth pcriod study hall. (It couldn’t be spring fever, could it?) Mary Bowman and her first pericd se] (Mary, where do you g t those?)

Besides the play, Joanne Smith played a piano sclo, “In a Persian Market.” The program closed after 9 short Christmas-carol songfest by the entire audiénee. Splash!

(Because of a good behavior record he has been accepted into the fold of the other home room.) Flash! May 29—Today is the last day of schcol for the year 1940-41.

[30] Eighth Grade September 9, 1940 found us eighth graders happily enrolled in schoo] with one new member in the class. Our class buzzed with excitement when the new teacher, Mr. Lindecamp, entered the room. After our class was organized, cfficers were elected with Allan Warnes as presi- dent, Phyllis McClain as vice president, Raymond Lemar as treasurer, Donna Sewell as secretary, and Edgar Snell as student council member. Our first class party, a Christmas celebration, was held December 18, at the school house. We played games, had refreshments and opened our gifts. The party was closed by dancing and caroling, The next big event of the year was our class assembly which was received with great applause. Caroline Lorenzen played a violin solo, and Mr, Lindecamp rendered a trumpet solo. Three short plays, ‘““Samuel’s Proposal,” “No Peddler’s Wanted,” and “Reading the News,” were presented. The program closed with everyone singing America,” Later in the year our class decided a pest hunt would be interesting. Chester Aukerman was chosen as captain of the “Reds’’ and Richard Barnhart as captain of the “Blues.” The losing side treated the winners to our last patty which was held the latter part of the year. Now we are looking forward to next year which will be important for two reasons: it will be our last year of junior high schocl], ard our class will be enlarged by the addition of the Lafayette pupils, Seventh Grade Our seventh year of schoo] begun with thirty-five anxious, and some not quite so anxious, students who were greeted by Miss Conkle in Room 15. The first few days of our Junior High life seemed very complicated, with schedules and changing classes, but bdelrids got over our bewildered feeling and were able to find our way around the uilding. We liked the idea that we were allowed to go to assemblies and have seats assigned to us there. It made us feel quite grown-up to sit across the aisle from the lofty Seniors. We gave a play for assembly entitled “Pumpkin Hill Grammar School Gra duation” which included nearly the entire Seventh Grade. In November we had a Tharksgivirg party which we all enjoyed immensely. You should have seen the boys try to wink when they played “Winkum,” Lois Indoe and Donna Bachtel representec the Seventh Grade in the Spelling Contest—Donna had represented us all through the lower grades. Seven girls from our grade joined the Junior Girl Reserves and you should have seen what they had to wear to school as part of their initiaticn! The girls were Marie Carr, Patty Grannis, Donna Bachtel, Marceil Jameson, Mary Jane Fetzer, Ruth Tanner and Lois Jean Indoe. During the year two pupils withdrew—Ernest A‘len and Ckarles Remington; and Robert Duck entered our grade. Some of the subjects that we have studied this year are: English, Geography, Mathematics, Science, Home Eccnomics (girls), Industrial Arts, (boys), Art, and Physical Education. Richard Cash appeared in the Dramatic Club Christmas play, which was quite an honor for him. The Seventh Grade boasts of having seven pupils in the band. They are: Donna Bachtel, Richard Cash, Mary Louise Clinker, Max Daniels, Mary Jane Fetzer, Marceil Jameson, and Robert Sommer. Patty Grannis is the only one from our grade in the crchestra. Pupils taking music lessons this ycar are: Donna Bachtel, Shirley Britton, Marie Carr, Mary Louise Clinker, Clarence Cook, Dale Cook, Max Daniels, Mary Jane Fetzer, George Gorey, Patty Grannis, Marceil Jam:son, Merle McDanicl, Robert Sommer, and Ruth Tanner.

[34] Sixth Grade We realize at the beginning of schoc] that we were one of the smallest of the twelve grades. Eleven girls and sixteen bcys entered the class in Septzmber. Trying to take advantage of every cppcrtunity the grade and school offered, more than cne third of us took music lesscns on some instrument and three of us, Robert Kaufman, Mary Jane Bartholcmai, and Robert Seifert, were members of the band. During the year we helped with two grade pregrams. At Christmas time the fifth and sixth grades gave “The Candle in the Windcw,” in which Dudley Fetzer, Betty Mullet, Robert Kaufman, Rcbert Seifert, ard Mary Jane Bartholomai took part. The operetta, “The Cobbler and the Elves” was given with Helen March as the Ccbbler’s wife and Jimmy Unanrgst as the Leatherman, while Betty Mullet, Mary Jane Bartholomai, Dolores Gott, Helen PBarsic, Robert Taylor, John Whitacre, Tommy Leatherman, George Emerson, Robert Kaufman, Rcbe1t Seifert, James Klinect, Jeannine Ziegler, Clyde Cook, Lewis Aukerman and Dudley Fetzer sang in the chorus. Two clubs were formed in the grade a “Hobby Club” for the girls and a School Boy Patrol for the boys. Each boy hada chance to wear a safety patrol belt and patrol the building and school ground. In the Hobby Club, each girl brought her hobby and worked cn it. Sewing, reading, paper dclls, embrcidering, and working cut plays seemed to be the popular hobbies. Robert Seifert and Mary Jane Bartholomai represented the grade for the County Spelling Contest. During the year three of our class-mates withdrew: Vera Yarman moved to Lima; Beatrice Oplinger moved to Mt. Vernen, and Rebert Remirgton moved to Seville. Miss Blust was our teacher. Fifth Grade Twenty-seven pupils entered the fifth grade this year. Of this number only eight were girls. Betty Remington was the only one to withdraw from our class and no one entered during the year. Virginia Clouse and Alan Krantz were chosen to represent the class at the annual Spelling Contest. Those who tock special music this year were Lee Rice, violin, and Robert Nell, trumpet. The girls enjoyed their Hobby Club. Officers from our grade were: Betty Berry, secretary and Georgia Hoff, treasurer. We believe that the hobbies will become the life work of some of the girls. The most common hobbies were: books, sewing, birds, and collecting small objects. The Boys’ Patrol taught the boys what it means to take responsibility. Billy Houts was chosen Captain. Every two weeks a new corps of officers would assume his duties. Jay-walkers were banished from the school zone. Attention to safety rules was brought to all pupils. Up to the time of this writing not a serious accident occurred, thanks to the Boys’ Patrol. The grade took part in a play at Christmas time entitled, “The Candle in the Window.” Those who had leading parts were Eloise House, Virginia Clouse, Betty Berry, Alan Krantz and Bobby Vandemark. ; Donald Houston took the part of “Dcedo” in the “Gift of Myrrh” given by the Dramatic Club at Christmas time. In the spring an operetta, “The Cobbler and the Elves” was given with Boyd Lance and Donald Houston as leading characters. Our pupils ranged in size, in September, from Babby Vandemark weighing fifty-six pounds to Billy Houts, one-hundred fifty-three pounds. Miss Edwards was the teacher. She has taught in our school 14 years and we liked her very much. [35] Fourth Grade First Row—Betty Travis, Ruth March, Phyllis Esselburn, Shirley Read, Patricia Arnold, Mary Ginter, Altha Bowen.

[36] Fourth Grade On Monday morning, September 9, twenty-four girls and twelve boys with bright eager faces anxiously awaited the ringing of the bell when school should begin. During the year no pupils withdrew while one entered in October—LaVerle Kauffman from Dalton, Ohio. Anxious were the pupils for their new books. They wanted to explore what was hidden between their covers. In the fourth grade, social science and physical education are added to the course of study. Happy were the children when the day came for them to make their first trip to the gymnasium. Several interesting and worthwhile projects in geography have been completed. Some have made scrapbooks showing the ways of living of the people who live in one of the countries which they have visited in their imaginary journeys. Others made scrap- books of their country. During the year, they also built an oasis town such as you would see in the Sahara Desert. ; Perhaps the most interesting unit was that on the Netherlands. Having quite a broad background of life in the Netherlands, they made a freize of Holland. Another group of children wrote and presented to the class a playlet in which the social life of the Van Kassen family was presented. Some of the girls dressed dolls in quaint Dutch costume, while the boys built Dutch windmills. However, this school year has not been all work. The children have had good times as well. Hallowe’en found each child in costume—some amusing and clever. Much pleasure was derived from having the teacher guess the identity of each child. There was also the Christras tree with the usual Ceccrations and with its gifts for the exchange. Valentine day approached with a bulging large red and white box. The fourth grade together with the third grade presented “Christmas Everywhere” in the grade Christmas program. The children also participated in the grade operetta, “The Cobbler and the Elves.” Reading was cne of their favorite leisure time activities. Many of these boys and girls have read all the books in the fourth grade library. This was supplemented three times with books from the Medina library. Several of the children have read cighty bocks. Many have read at least forty books. Their reading has covered a wide range of subjects. However, stories about children in other lands and science stcries were thcse which were the most fascinating and most frequently read. Third Grade On September 9, 1940, twenty-six eager and curious boys and girls entered the third grade. “What do we co in the third grade? What books will be studied? Will there be any new pals in our room? ‘These and many other questions undoubtedly ran through their minds. With the distribution of books came a period of real exploration. Exciting pictures and interesting stcries lurked between the covers of such readers as “Through the Green Gate,” “Elson Reader,” and “If I Were Going.” Safety lessons in a palatable form came in the bright orange book entitled “Here and There.” Scien ce facts were fun when studied frcm “Science Stories.” The first glimpse of how people work and live was gathered from an interesting geography, “Neighborhood Stories.” Friday morning was always a special time as “My Weekly Reader” arrived with its current news stories as well as Uncle Ben’s travel letters. In addition to these, arithmetic, spelling, English, music, and art helped to make each day varied, busy, and’ pleasant. As an outgrowth of a postoffice unit, the class visited the Lodi Postoffice where they actually saw the mail handled. The cancelling machine seemed most interesting’ to the children. In October as Hallowe’en approached, plans were made for a party. The children had an exciting time seeing each other in costume. During the Christmas season the third grade room changed appearance with the eonstructicn of a pupil-made fireplace in the northwest corner of the room. Toys marchec playfully along the top of the blackboard. A Christmas tree and gift exchanee climaxed the happy season. In the month of February much fun came with the planning and making of a unique Valentine box in the form of a castle. Each child shared in the contents, of this box. The spring operetta, “The Cobbler and the Elves” gave many of the third erad«rs a chance to sing and dance. Gordon Warnes, Jolan Knecht, Laura Cash, Gwenivere Miller, and Joyce Underwocd had special parts, while many others sang in the chorus.

[38] Second Grade Thirty-one children enrolled in our grade last September. Patsy Harris entered our group from Weslaco, Texas and Charles Hullhorst moved to Toledo. We have improved our reading through the use of library books. The following children have read and reported to the class fifteen or more books: Anita Indoe; Edward White, Gordon Hartzell, Jimmy Crum, Robert Lowery, Donald Ray Nell, Patsy Harris, Betty Nell, and Margaret Emerson. We have enjoyed many books from the Medina Library and also several good books which were added to our library this year. In our regular class work we have read eight readers. When we studied about Indian Life in the fall we wrote letters to an Indian school on a reservation in North Dakota. A Class Hygiene record was kept which showed progress made in dental care and good appearance. At the end of the year certificates of award from the Ipana Tooth Paste Co. were given to each of the ten children with the best dental hygiene record. Twelve children who were found to be under weight were given cod liver oil all winter, with the result of fewer colds and absences from school. We have enjoyed parties at Hallowe’en, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter. We have taken part in the Christmas program, the Toy Band, and six of our children were ponies in the Operetta. After reading about fire prevention in our Safety Readers, we visited the Lodi Fire Station. Mr. Slater, the fire chief explained the work of firemen and the fire engine. Under the direction of Mr. Blain we made a frieze on “Life in Holland,” as a result ef a study of that country. We learned to salute our flag every day and we are glad to be Americans. We want to become good citizens. Mrs. Whitney was our teacher. First Grade On September 9, 1940, twenty-nine boys and girls entered Lodi school for the first time. Some were eager, talkative and alert, some shy and reserved, others came with fear and tre mbling, and still others were silent and indifferent—twenty-nine distinctly different personalities, about to begin their first year of school. When asked why they wanted to come to school, the most frequent reply was, “To learn to read.” To that end they have completed five pre-primers and two primers and are now enjoying their eiglith book for the year. In addition, nearly every child has done some reading: in library books. Early in the year Tommy Maklebust returned to his former home in Columbus, while Barbara Nottage and Inez Sandusky moved to Toledo. Later Richard Shelhorn went to Ghatham, and Donald Sanford to Spencer, reducing the enrollment to twenty- four. The First Graders were fortunate in being able to avail themselves of a good health program at ‘school. Due to the efforts of the Rotary Club and the County Health De- partment, those who so desired were immunized for smallpox, diphtheria and whooping cough. Cod liver oil was also availabie and about half of the group took advantage of of the opportunity. Two of the highlights of the year were the Christmas program and the spring Music program, in which the first six grades participated. First and Second Graders joined in giving a Christmas playlet while their contribution to the Music program was a rhythm band. The major tragedy of the year was an epidemic of chicken pox which made Christmas less merry for several children, and the attendance irregular for a month after vacation. Miss Mildred DeLong was the teacher. [39] Ir S [ [tll ee Act oe 3 “a S Ny Soe , 3 Ni Varsity Basketball Team First Row—Raymond Tawse, Robert McGarvey, Philip Konrad, Robert Horner, Junior Marvin.

Debate Six bewildered seniors were chosen to fight off the enemy and keep the Lodi High banner flying. The very timely question was “Should the Power of the Federal Govern- ment be Increased?” The affirmative team was supported by Joanne Rice and Jean Sommer, first and second speakers respectively with Bob McGarvey as alternate. The negative team included Hileen Warner as first speaker, Edward Harrington, second speaker, and Jean Smith ag alternate. With Mr. Skurvid’s assistance, the debate speeches finally took shape. The team began to learn what it was all about. They also had the advantage of being able to record their voices on the recording machine. Miss Mowrey helped some of the debate members with their dramatic and debate tactics. After many sleepless nights, after much fretting, working and coaching, the tcam was ready for its campaign. Two initial skirmishes occurred January 10th when the affirmative team defeated the LeRoy negative team by a unanimous vote and the nega- tive team defeated the Seville affirmative team with a unanimous vote also. Did the teams stop working? No, they considered it a streak of luck and worked right on, for they were determined to win for Lodi High. One major battle occurred January 15th when the affirmative team advanced tv Hinckley and came marching back with another unanimous victory. January 16th, the negative team protected the home forts against Homer’s affirmative team. Homer was finally driven home. Lodi had won , but this time by a two to one decision. The campaign was won and again Lodi’s banners were flying. For the second consecutive year Lodi had won the County Championship, and the school received a trophy. Reward for the team and their helpers? A delicious chicken dinner and a pleasant evening at the White home. They were entertained by a movie, news reels of past school days and the main feature of “Felix the Cat.” There is just one thing the team would like to know—Should the Power of the Federal Government be Increased or Shouldn’t it? If you can figure it out, let the debate team know. Student Council Lodi High School Student Council members, like doctors, are on call at all times to assist in whatever they may be called upon to do—taking tickets at football games, collecting money for basketball bus tickets, or presiding at assemblies. One of the chief tasks of the Council is seeing that club meetings, parties, and class activities are not all planned for the same room and at the same time. It is at the Council meetings tha: students may express their opinions or desires as well as introduce suggestions to the council. Another major task of this group is the arranging of the assembly programs for the entire student body. From assembly programs, the Council turned to a new innovation this year in planning a ping pong tovrnament to select the all-schocl champion “ping ponger.” The Council is made up of representatives of the junior and senior high classes— the junior high is represented by three members—one from each class; and the senior high by six members—two from each class. These nine organized and with their faculty advisor tried to cooperate in whatever manner they could in working for a better school.

[59} Dramatic Club Activity has been the middle name of the dramatic club as they have produced not one play but three major productions. The first production was the well known play “The Doctor Decides” by Dr. Fred Eastman which was presented before the Lodi Rotary Club. It was in this play that some of the new members were initiated and proved themselves worthy of membership in the club. December came and with the arranging and planning of the Christmas program at which time the very unusual and loveiy play “The Gift of Myrrh” by Karin Sunderlof- Asbrand was presented to a very appreciative audience. On April 4 the annual three-act play ‘“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Charles George won many konors for both the club and the cast who had worked untire- ingly to present an evening of good entertainment. The cast included Doris Fetzer, Barbara Whitright, Bob McGarvey, Eileen Warner, Marjorie Piatt, Gerald Patterson, John Snell, Eugene Kobb, Janice Briggs, Gladine Tanner, Dick Crum, and Jane Rumbaugh. Those prominent in assisting with the production were Miss Lucille Mowrey, Jean Sommer, Janet Bartholomai, Doris Sommer, Jean Smith, Dorothy Travis, Joanne Rice, Marilyn Barnhart, Jane Warner.

The officers for the year were: Norma Whitemyer, president; Joanne Rice, vice president; Jane Rumbaugh, secretary; Jane Warner, treasurer. Miss Heestand was the adviser. Each year the club is active in numerous sports including volleyball, basketball, deck tennis, softball, badminton, and ping-pong, each of which gives a certain number of points to be credited to each girl toward a letter which is awarded when she has earned a sufficient number of points. In the annual all-star Yale-Princeton basketball game this spring’ Princeton won with a score of 14-8. The winning team included Eileen Warner, captain, Ruth Beu, Donna McDaniel, Marjorie Piatt, Doris Sommer, Jean Sommer, Joanne Smith, Vivian Elliott, and Betty Fetzer. Ann Barthclomai was captain of the Yale team, and the other members were Janet Bartholomai, Norma Tawse, No rma Whitemiyer, Barbara Whitright, Alethia Davis, Virginia Rice, Martha Rice, and Marjorie Bowers. Twenty-four girls entered a dovble-elimination tournament in ping-pong. After losing her first game in the first round of play Marjorie Piatt won the tourney by beat- ing the other finalist, Doris Sommer, 21-17 and 21-11. This is the first year that badminton has been one of the G. A. A. sports, and it has proven to be quite a favorite. Fourteen teams played in the badminton double elimination tourney. Marjorie Piatt and Doris Sommer beat Barbara Whitright and Janet Bartholomai in the final game. This organization not only improves the girls physically but also stimulates them mentally, especially in teaching them good sportsmanship and cooperation with others.

Music A solo here, a horn there, everywhere music! Yes, practice makes perfect and so pupils of Old Lodi High must keep practicing; and as a result music has come to be a very vital part of our high school work. The many numerous music interests are cared for through band, orchestra, chcrus, quartet, sextets, ensembles, and everything—even the learning to appreciate music which, by the way, is a new course this year under the director of Mr. F.W.R. Behrens. This is designed to help those who enjoy music but do not olay an instrument as well as those who do play or sing. Thursday morning brings to our ears the music cf our very popular band of sixty- four pieces under the baton of Mr. Delmar Graff. This band, one of the finest in the county, has made numerous public appearances and has won high respect for itself and leader from the citizens of the community. So successful with their public perform- ances were they that they raised sufficient money to purchase uniforms. On Tuesday morning can be heard violins, trumpets, saxes, ¢tce. which tells us that it is orchestra day and another visit of Mr. Graff who also directs the orchestra. This toc, is an ever growing group of players. On Friday, we find some of these orchestra people along with eighty other voices filling the auditorium with their melodious tones under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Hobart. It is a real task to handle eighty people in a mixed chorus and keep them sine- ing in tune and sweetly but she has done a splendid piece of work. We find Mrs. Hobart not only handling this group but the boy’s glee club which of courze is somewhat smaller (34 in number—quality rather thanquantity, they say). The spring music festival saw this group participating and helping to make it a grand success. The girls’ glee club which cutnumbevs the boys’ has a membership cf sixty voices that are under the direction of Mrs. Evelyn Schmidt. They too, entered the music festival. Ag there are demands from time to time for smaller groups, the quartet, sextet, and ensemble have been organized. Of these we see Mrs. Schmidt coaching the Girls’ Sextet, (made up of Carol Burr, Janet Bartholomai, Eileen Warner, Janice Briggs, Ann Barthclomai, and Norma Whitemyer) which sings for such occasions as the Mother-Daughter Banquet, Com- mencement, etc. This group was rated superior minus at the ensemble eontest this year at Spencer. Did you hear that “basso”—well, that came from the Boys’ Quartet (John Winkler, Joe Leatherman, John Snell, and Junior Marvin) which has really gained quite a repu- tation for itself in the last two years. Mrs. Hobart assists these members in their harmonizing. “Pinky, Pinky, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink, Pink,” did you hear that? Yes, you guessed it—that came from the Mixed Octet consisting of Marcia Priest, Carol Burr, Norma Whitemyer, Marjorie Piatt, John Snell, Winfred MecVicker, Joe Leatherman, and Burton Bowman. They too sang this year under Mrs. Hobart’s direction, and earned a superior rating at the ensemble contest. One of the outstanding county music activities each year is that of the solo contest which is held at a different school each year. This is a busy time since those wishing to enter must have their selection approved by Mrs. Hcbart, Mrs. Schmidt, Mr. Graff, or Mr. Gingery. The contest is for both instrumental and vocal; and the ratings of supe- rior, excellent, very good, good and fair are received by the participants. This affords an excellent opportunity for pupils to have experience in performing before an audience; and the pupils who are working for music awards of A, B, or C, must enter this contest at least once. This year from the student body, certain members were selected to participate in the new county chorus which consisted of eighty voices under the direction of Mr. Behrens assisted by Mrs. Schmidt at the piano. This group was the nucleous of the chorus of 600 which sang at the spring Music Festival at Seville, May 9th. Those representatives from Lodi were: John Snell, Junior Marvin, Joe Leatherman, Winfred MeVicker, Ann Bartholomai, Eileen Warner, Norma Whitemyer, Marcia Priest, and Caro] Burr. i Aue are indeed proud of all our music activities and we hope they will continue to evelop, [53] First Row—Max Daniels, Joe Warner, Jane Rumbaugh, Donra Jean Bachtel, Marceil Jamieson, Norma Whitemyer, Edgar Snell, Doris Fetzer, Eileen Warner, Eugene Piatt.
