LONGFELLOW I 6 1 ECHOES Mrs. Fruchey's Class Prophecy for 1960 Un the form of zz television confversationj-Betty Galliers Speaking. Can you imagine anyone writing and producing a play about airplanes and cars that run on gasoline? Why, everyone that is anyone knows that the latest mode of transportation is the space ship Flash 65, that operates on H20. Oh, you know the one that the famous astronomer, Warren Hall, employed the renowed collaborators, Larry Albright and Robert CSnipeJ Owen, to build! Well, I'm proud to say that the author of the recent stage hit, f'Airplanes In the Dark, is none other than my old school churn, Barbara Perry. Wasn't it quaint of her, though, to write of such out-of-style vehicles as cars and airplanes? The scenery and the clothes were dee-light-ful. The designers must have had one of their well-known brain storms. But, of course, that is easy to understand when you take into consideration that the creators were that inseparable foursome, Mousie,' Brown, Eloise Brown, Rosena Reuschle and Shirley lVIcDonald. The airplanes they used for stage props were some old models of Russell Barrow- man's. Did you notice the pilot in that red airship? Yes, that's right. It was Dick Shuler. I knew heid realize his abition some day. CEven if it was in a stage prop.J The scenery and backdrops were made by Jack Powell and Bob Weil. Boy! Was I surprised to see that horsey horse doctor and veterinarian, Bill Tietje, with his assistant, Janet Brown, at the prevue. Tietje takes care of the animals and Janet re-searches the bugs Ccommonly known as fleasl. So as fleas and animals go together, likewise to the eminent doctors, Tietje and Brown. Walking stately Ccan you imagine itj behind the doctors was the Rev. Paul Aloysus,' Akers with his lawyer friend, Elizabeth Vellernan, and her two secre- taries, Ardith Whipple and Marie Lermer. Who should come along next but a group of nurses, namely, Olly Lee, Florentine Trueschle, and Betty Galliers, followed by that athletic team of Roulet and Pfeiffer, with their secretary and traveling companion. The next group of people to drop their tickets in the boy were the Four Mosquitoes, Norm Glick, Jim Delbecq, Bill Boos and Kenneth Cutcher, with their librarian friend, Jane Foulk. You weren't there long before you noticed those rascally, roving reporters, Virginia Waterfield, Janet Davis and Mary Jane Crothers. What? You don'r know Janet Davis? Why, of course. She's the one that writes the obituary column. Oh, golly, I do think we ought to ring off now. We have been on the wire for quite a long time. Don't neglect to see the play. With all the interesting people connected with it, it is sure to interest you. fRoom 1135 -BETTY GALLIERS LoNGFEI.1,ow I 7 1 ECHOES The Last Will and Testament of The Class of 1940 of Longfellow School This being the last will and testament of the members of the class of 1940.

We can't afford to miss that! Our plane, piloted by Don Witt, sat down some fifteen minutes later in the new improved Stickney Airport.. Our stewardess, Betty Fleck, as little and efficient as ever, served refreshments enroute. Rauh,s Air Line Service to which our plane belonged, is known throughout the States. Fritz Sager and Arnold Ettenhofer, mech- anics of much fame, keep the fleet in perfect condition. On the circus grounds we heard Frank Smith hollaring: 'fGet your tickets here folks,', which we did. A large crowd gathered around the barker, John Smith, to hear about the most daring stunt ever performed by girls in the history of the circus. The blond twins, Wilma Quandt and Doris Ransbottom, rode their motorcycles through a wall of fire. At the completion of this act, nurses inspected them for injuries. Patty Schaub and jean Radloff in their spotless uniforms did this Work expertly. From them we learned that Doris Hebert, and Phyliss Strobel were on duty at the new Lambert clinic, located in Bates SL Weirs new subdivision. Dick Reisbaeh, the llflayor of Toledo, gave us the key to the city. Huge electrical signs of weird colors appeared as night descended. Robert Rains- berger, the wizard of illumination, with his able assistant, Willard Elliot, was respon- sible for this display. The big tent, air conditioned by Sheehan and Ross, was a welcome relief from the outside heat. Attraction number one, was the huge dinosaur, in its white cage, conquered by the great explorer, in the jungles of darkest Africa, by Jack Oberst. Accompaning him were Robert VVisnofske and Leo Roberts, both in brilliant red uniforms, trimmed in diamonds also brought from the interior. Costumes for the entire circus were under the supervision of Joan McGrane, Grace Cady, Florence Wegner, and Virginia Buchholz. As the huge clock struck the hour of twelve, we left again for the Hbigy' city, happy that we had heard about the famous members of the class of 1940 of Longfellow School.

LoNGFE1,i.ow I 14 I ECHOES Class Prophecy---Room 101 The time is September 18, 1949 outside Seibert stadium, home of the Detroit Tigers, where the lst game of the season was about to begin. As we approached the ticket office we noticed that our old friend, Bill XVood, from Longfellow, was selling tickets. After talking with him we found that several of our former schoolmates were playing and working there. We were ushered to our seats by Bob Herbster. He told us that Barbara Burnard, Margie Reetz, and Doris Thomas and their boy friends were also in the crowd. He also said that there would be ceremonies before the game in which Manager Tommy Sheehan, Owner and President Jack Seibert, Vice President, Sam Buzanis, and Eddie Lawrence, the slugging outfielder, would receive gifts for their fine work. These were presented by the four Queens of Detroit, Mary Gilbert, Helen Colvin, Ma1'ilyn Gray, and Georgia Selfe, all graduates from Longfellow. After the ceremonies, the ground keepers Bill Snell, Norman Link, and John Beroth came out to give the diamond a last minute going over. -lust as the teams were ready to take the field, a familiar voice came over the loud speaker to announce the umpires and battery for the game which consisted nf Donald Dankert and -lack Wend as umpires and the battery was none other than David Buttke as pitcher, and the catcher was lfddie VVelch. We inquired about the announcer and found out it was Ted McCool. The game finally started and about the third inning Donna llflasiker came around selling peanuts, etc. ln the fifth inning the visiting pitcher hit a Detroit batter in the head with a pitched ball lmmediately Doc Damraur and his nurse, Betty Shively, were called to the field. After first aid treatment he regained conciousness and the team resumed play. The lucky score card numbers were then posted' in the center, and We had a lucky one. We went to the box officer to get our award and we found then that Phyllis Wasserstrom and Jacquelyn Geisland were the secretaries and Eugene Dusseau was business manager. When we got back to our seats we found the score still tied, four up, going into the last of the ninth, with Detroit up. The first two men up, flied out. Then, Edgar Prond got hold of one and over the fence it went. The star of the game was Bob Boddy, who has international fame as shortstop. A poster announced that Robert Young and Otis Taylor, famous musicians, were appearing in Detroit the following week. Of course, we'll be there! So ended a perfect day.

LoNGFE1.1,ow I 19 1 ECHOES Class Prophecy---Room 112 Saturday morning dawned bright and early. Ruth Banning, the second Helen Mankin, accompanied by Carolyn Gassan, the famous commercial artist, and Carol Heyn, the chemist who has experienced more than one explosion, are on their way to New York. ., Arriving in New York, we decided to purchase some corsages from Irene Schirner's Florist Shop. We toured Fifth Avenue that afternoon and bumped into our old classmate, Shirley Wood, who is now supervisor of clothing. Our feet being rather tired, we retired to a lecture and were both surprised and elated to find our old friend, Willis Rofkar, the Archeologist, who had just returned from the deep, dark jungles of Africa. The lecture being rather dry, we decided to go to Radio City, where Dave Wilsonls Swingaroo's Band was broadcasting. We met two boys. They were James Brewer, a chemist, and Bob Spencer, a pilot, who were working their way through college. They had a couple of weeks vacation and decided it would be fun to visit the big city. After beautifying ourselves, we were whizzed down Fifth Avenue, over to Times Square, then to Radio City. We were surprised to Hnd Bob Shaw as sound effect man. Next morning we decided to go to the bank. There we met James Keil, the accountant, who had two secretaries, Marilyn Hansen and Margaret Knaggs. His stenographer was none other than Lavon Miller. The boys took us on a tour through a factory that day and we were introduced to the men who made the little wheels go round. They were James Vick, Louis Stuckey fthe big bossj, Jack Schaefer, Tommy Orr, Arland Beachler, and Vernon Copelin. In the afternoon Bob decided to take us up in a new plane, which had been designed by Melvin Bubacz, and Dick Gulvas. Carolyn Gassan went to visit one of her commercial artist friends, Mary K. Sherman. Afterwards We went for a walk through Central Park. All of a sudden Carol cried, My purse, my purse, itls been stolen.'y f'Oh, never mind,', Bob replied, I know the solution to that one. All we've got to do is look up our old pal, Suzanne Shepler. She's the one that solved the WVho Killed Cock Robin Crime,' remember? The next morning while visiting a chemistry plant whose main chemist was Don Lee, James Brewer suddenly got sick. We hurried right over to the T. T. T. Thorley and Sons drug store. Bob Thorley immediately prescribed some medicine called HZO, but this failed to help and so we thought it best to go to Lester Hospital and have Nurse Laurel Price doctor him up. James very willingly consented, and in a short time he felt all right. Bob wanted to visit his father while in town, so we went to his company and found Bob Hayes, as one of his Mechanical Draftsmen and Marilyn Hyman, as his father's secretary. That afternoon the boys received a long distance call from one of their teachers, Betty Burr. She explained that something required the boys' presence at the university at once. The girls took the ten o'clock train to Toledo the next day. Their only remark was, Ah, the end of a perfect tourln -RUTH BANNING, CAROLYN GASSON, BOB SPENCER, JAMES BREWER, CAROL HEYN LONGFELLOW I Z0 1 ECHOES Class Will We, the class of 1940, do hereby solemnly will our masterful and superior qualities to the class of 1941, Whom we know will feel greatly honored f????l.

In math your Work just has to be done. In manual we learn to make things with wood, In gym we learn games that do us some good, In history we're taught about Champlain, In science we study about the rain, In music there are notes and we are taught to sing, In English we learn just about everything. -ERVIE MONDAY LoNoFiz1.1.ow I 30 1 Ecuoas ROOM 1 17 During this year's work in Mathematics we have learned much about per- centage, equivalents and more about decimals. Miss Croose has been our teacher and has done good work in teaching us these things. English is usually a hard subject, but not the way Mrs. Holmes teaches it. When you come out of her room you know something about verbs, adverbs, nouns, prepositions and pronouns. We have learned six of the eight parts of speech despite our month's vacation. We don't have much time for Literature, but we have read some good stories. We also have spelling with Mrs. Holmes. She gets after us so we'll study our spelling. Jut the same We like English. lVIrs. Lanz has been our coach in gym. We have four squads with about four in a squad. We have learned many games and relays. The one the children seem to like is the human hurdle relay. It is a lot of fun having gym with Mrs. Lanz. Miss Meyers is our music teacher. She has taught us many pretty pieces. There was a chorus of about seventy-iive Junior High people that sang at Macomber Vocational High School. From what we have heard, it sounded very good. The WPA Orchestra, led by Mr. Shapiro, has been to our school several times. We all like it very much. -COLLEEN BYRNE HISTORY-SCIENCE-ART-MANUAL - ROOM 117 When did Columbus discover America? Wo were the Vikings? Those were two of the five millionn questions thrown at us at the first of the year by Miss Meyers. If we didn't know the answers, down went a zero in her little black book. But through all this we surely had to use our thinking caps. In History class scores of activities were made. Activities are drawings or booklets of events from certain units. Everything from 17th Century forts to Colonial bedrooms were seen. Conclusions were written at the end of each unit to see just how much we had learned. Interesting discussions on current events also took place. Hurry up, urges Mrs. Fruchey. You know We have only 45 minutes for Science. Turn to Page 147 to the topic 'AIR. ' What is air? Is fire helpful to man? Astronomy was interesting, too. We made covers for our water unit booklets in Art. Mrs. Fruchey performed many experiments for us and it goes without saying that there were tests to be taken. Scales for weight were made. Ouchll There I go again sticking myself with another pin in sewing! Gosh, I certainly hope I get this potholder finished! In addition to potholders, we also made fingertip towels. In cooking, breakfasts, luncheons, and desserts were prepared, such as, baked apples, cocoa, tapioca pudding, eggs a la goldenrod and muffins. Where did I put that drawing pencil? l've got to get this contour drawing finished. Yes, contour drawings, wall hangings, and puppets were a few of the things that we made in Art. We have also done a considerable amount of work on Community Chest posters. Has this been a busy year? -GLADYS STEVENSON LoNcFizI.r.ow I 31 I EcHoEs ROOM 3 The seventh grade pupils of Room 3 made an interesting study of text books of today and yesterday. ln the new books there are colored pictures. The old ones have very few pictures and they were not as colorful as the ones of today. The old arithmetic books were harder and they had more than one grade in them. In the books of today the problems take the form of a practical story. A different type of paper is used now because the pages are smoother than those in the old books. The oldest book we had was dated 1789. We know we would rather study from the new books than the old ones because the work is more interesting and the colorful pictures add much to the stories. The committee in charge of this collection included Miles Sterling, Joan Con- rad, Holly Mankin and Virginia Mourning. ROOM 1 1 Sol You want to know what happened in the seventh grade, huh? Well, here it is: The first day of school I walked timidly into the room. I expected to be told there was a mistake in rooms. Clt didn't happen, though.D After the first few days, work got sorta hard. After a few fear-filled days, though, l got used to it. CI don't know about the other guys, though.j The hrst real treat was out weekly program held in the room every Friday. A lot of children get up and torment us by trying to sing a song or two. Then there were the jokes, riddles, and finally a short play fthe first one almost took a whole periodl. It was good, though. One day we received a nerve-raking shock. We had to write a history conclusion. Whew, were we glad when it was over! One bright sunny morning something happened. A self-testing drill! When I heard this, the weather turned very dull and rainy. or it seemed to anyway. No kiddin', though, the seventh grade's O. K. -ROGER MQDONALD LoNoFE1.Low I 32 I Ecuoiss The cover for our EchoesU was designed by Carolyn Gasson. The printing was done by Carol Heyn. All art work was supervised by Mrs. Ryan. Memories We hate to say goodbye to you, Our teacher, friends and school, so dear, With saddening hearts so full of rue, We shout your praise for all to hear. You've taught us much through all these years, Your advice we've always headedg And when we were hurt you dried our tears, Then gave us the strength we needed. So with heavy hearts we graduate, But your guidance in the past Will help us to the goal we dream of, Which we shall surely reach at last. -JANET DAVIS Echoes Staff Editor .......... .........,,,,,,,-.,.. ..........

LONGFELLOW f 41 J ECHOES ROOM 512 One day last fall one of the boys in our room discovered several sma11 tongues of fire shooting up from the roof of a house across the street. We were given permission to go to the window and watch the fire. It was surprising to see that so many people, both in cars and walking did not notice the burning roof. Finally a neighbor saw the fire and told the lady of the house. She became very excited. We soon heard the fire engine approaching. VVe thought it remarkable how quickly and efficiently the Bremen had the blazing roof under control. Every man co-operated and when the fire was out we watched them pick up the wreckage, leaving the yard clean. Thanks to Bob I-Ieyman many of us had our best chance to watch our fire department in action. NO TARDINESS OR ABSENCE IN ROOM 517 Betty -lane Northrup lVIari1yn Woessner ROOM 517 HOW WE KEEP OUR SPELLING RECORD The pupils of Room 317 have a very different way of keeping their spelling records. We have on our bulletin board a chart. Above it there is a sign which says USoaring or Sinking? We all try to put airplanes up every Week which means we have 100. If we have a steamboat it means We have a score in the 90's, a sailboat means 80's, rowboats 70's, submarine 601s or below. We think it is fun to keep a record this way. ROOM 517 THE NEWS BULLETIN BOARD Our News Bulletin Board is made up of articles and clippings of general interest. Most of the articles are about geography we have had recently, or things we have read about lately concerning current events. -PATSY BINDING ROOM 517 WRITING BOOK REVIEW Twenty children in Room 317 have written book reviews. They are Bruce Chambers, Jerry Cullum, Jerry Epstein, Robert Lashbough, Roman Zawodni, Don- ald Venters, Jack Denman, Kazimierz Sokolowski, Patsy Binding, Joan Sanford, Louise McLean, Nancy Kurth, lVIari1yn Woessner, Ann Lee Barger, Barbara Coble, Lois Schirr, Regina Sparks, 1VIari1yn Britton, Juliana Miller, Velma Magley. This improves our memory and our English. It makes us more interested in reading good books. -NANCY KURTH LONGFELLOW I 42 I ECHOES ROOM 316 We've been studying about the geography of Europe. Since the war broke out our maps in the book are not much use because they are not up to date. We collect many maps out of the paper and magazines, and also make our own. These maps help us a lot in geography. -BEVERLY RANCK ROOM 316 Donna Bissell is one of the many Toledo Girl Scouts who sold the official Girl Scout cookies. She won first prize in selling cookies because she sold 11-1- boxes. Her prize was a ribbon, telling how many boxes of cookies she had sold, a knife and a belt. The knife contains a can opener, a screw driver, a bottle opener, a belt punch and a knife blade. -DONNA BISELL ROOM 316 Miss Sheahan's class had a Community Chest contest,-the girls against the boys. We put two strings the length of the room and strung pennants on them which Went from S .50 to 59.00. The girls had a balloon at the pennant which showed their amount, and the boys had an airplane. Carl Thielman brought an antique chest for the boys' money and Donna Bisell brought a small chest with a lock for the girls, money. Joanne Less took charge of the money for the girls and Carl Thielman for the boys. The boys took in 54.65 and the girls 52.85, the whole room totaling 57.50. -HARRY JAcoBs ROOM 316 The children of Room 316 have four teams in gym. The captains are: Beat- rice Kiker, Carl Thielman, Rosemary Lee, and Jack Gulvas. The teams like to play such games as Basket-end-ball, Criss-Cross, Relays and others. In Basket-end- ball they won from Room 301, and Room 303. They hope to play baseball this summer but first they must get permission from Mr. Fisher, the gym director. -BEATRICE KIKER ROOM 211 Susan Pirner, Richard Rofkar and James Coder in Room 211, First Grade, have a perfect attendance record for the year. Barbara Hahn was absent only a half day. LoNoFELLow I 43 1 Ecuorzs ROOM 201 OUR TRIP TO THE DAIRY Our class met at school at 9:30 on Saturday, March 30. The Ohio Clover Leaf Dairy sent four cars for us. When we arrived there we started through the dairy. Some of the things we saw were washing and sterilizing of bottles, in which process caustic solution is used, and pasteurizing milk, a process devised by Pasteur for preventing or checking fermentation in fluids by heating them to l3l-158 degrees F. The process we thought the most interesting was the filling and capping of bottles. From the washing machine, the bottles go to the filler and capper. They are then put into boxes and delivered. At the end of our trip the dairy surprised us with a treat of chocolate milk and ice cream. Then the dairy cars and Mrs. Cummins took us home. We thank the Ohio Clover Leaf Dairy for such an instructive and happy morning. -ROBERT HARTLEY ROOM 316 Every Wednesdayf our class has a club in which we can sing, tell stories, read stories, read poems, or tell about our hobbies. The officers during the first semester Were: President, Ralph Wenner, Vice-President, Robert Peeleg Secretary, Eleanor Channel, and the Treasurer, Jimmy Arbaugh. The present officers are: President, Beatrice Kikerg Secretary, Par Ettersg Vice-President, Carl Thielmang Treasurer, Doris Splitgerber. Among the things on the club I liked best Was, Joanne Less, who sang some popular songs. Carl Thielman read some very nice stories, and Billy Volk played some of his records. We all enjoy our club Very much. -MARVEL WHIPPLE ROOM 316 Harry Jacobs is a member of the Y. IW. C. A. I-le was in the movie that the man showed us about their summercamp-Camp Storer-April 18, 1940.
