The early years of the War were serious times, but now, with the end of the war in sight, I feel we are entering even more serious times. During War our goal is plain: unconditional surrender of the enemy, but in a post-War period objectives are less well-defined or agreed upon. It is up to you students to decide what kind of world you Want, how to get it, and how to keep it. Decide what Will be best, not only for you, but for every inhabitant of the world. This war has taught us that whatever harms the remotest of our neighbors may sooner or later cast its curse on all mankind. It is likewise reasonable that what is good for our most distant cousins will eventually evolve for the good of all. May I add a more personal note and say how greatly I have missed my association with all of you, both as a group and as individuals, during the past two years. May it not be much longer. Sincerely yours, C rcuf 801, WfL6L:flf8lf' l t 1 L H we QUQVQVLJ Waiofm mt .fdclfing ,Moz mcwfer Every Well-educated person has acquired two skills during the educational process, skill for making a living and skill for making a life. At Maumee Valley We are particularly conscious of our responsibility for the de- velopment of these fundamental skills to the fullest in every child entrusted to our care. Much hard Work and a great deal of fun both from teachers and students are required in the process. l would commend both faculty andxstudent body for . their hearty cooperation in making the academic year 1944-1945 a year of great achievement.

It's not really a student governing body, but a go- between from pupil to teacher. A good part of this year was spent in finishing the Constitution, a weighty document, making legal such functions as dragging a person to K. P. It is a sort of silent partner to both students and teachers-appointing assembly and drive committees, finding a Christmas tree, sell- ing war stamps, and generally trying to do its part to make things run smoothly. . , 5' t - ,.

The senior privileges, which entail entering the front door and studying in the entrance hall, the student-faculty hockey game, the blue or white candle awarded to the winning girls' team, studying outdoors in nice weather--all these endear us to our good old M. V. lt's always fun to join in Happy Birthday or For He's a lolly Good Fellow at lunch, to laugh at the fathers' and sons' basketball and baseball games, and to anticipate the senior play. But when the time comes for the Dogwood Ceremony and then We congratulate the two junior commencement ushers, we become a little sad. And after the annual award assembly, the final luncheon, and the seniors' farewell song, we watch with varied emotions the graduates march into the garden to the tune of Pomp and Circumstancef' .sn o P? as I sm t ..,. - 'N 1 - ' : ' '.

H we ff H The first day of your sophomore year you arrive in English class to find that this year you have a certain responsibility-the library. From that day on, you spend your time delving into the inner mysteries of the Dewey Decimal system, learning how 'to place your A, B, C's on the fiction shelf, cmd how to cope with that highly deceiving section of biography. There are usually several days when you realize tonly too latel that yesterday was your day to change the date on the stamp. Students soon find that it's woe to the one who forgets to check out a book, as dues do pile up. Once a month, if you happen to be acting librarian at the time, you find yourself at a table with books piled high, and with Miss Parsons standing behind you patiently explaining the' intricacies of accessioning. Ch, happy day, come Wednesday, when Mrs. Waldron arrives to straighten out your difficulties and mistakes of the past Week. rrigcn t'ri',L. -4 UDP ZOO!! ries mm,- dx WJ u v. - .Q b ff-VL-b--as-v V-Qe,.:u1 V91-as 63-yi Slum, WEATHER VANE STAFF wantmq Miss Parsons at All Jabbenng at once all sleuthinq and Whispering the same mstant and all ual board.

After learning all the rules, you draw a relieved breath and then find out you have to learn the exceptions. What is more fun is your first taste of Shakespeare Cyou usually start with Iu1ius Caesar J, Milton, and Dickens. You read by periods Cah, that Age of Romanticismll or you read on special topics such as The Frontier. All this is tauqht by Miss Parsons, an avid Information, Please listener, who qets so thrilled over the topic on which you will write your next paper, that soon you are just as enthusiastic yourself. To A my FRENCH Etes-vous bon en francais? Naturellement, if Madame Geary is the one to teach you! Even. the little first graders can say, La pomme est rouge. Through the middle grades the mysteries of French grammar are gradually solved. ln your last two years you read De Maupassant and-if you're especially good - Cyrano de Bergerac. Your French course is brightened by personalized anecdotes of French life and French history. Especially, you come to know Madame's Paris. You receive your own bi-monthly copy of 3Le Petitilournalu complete with a comic strip, Les Aventures de Toto Gourdiflotf' and a cross- word puzzle in French. R v, vas. HISTORY History is a series of patterns, so we spend the year tracing Power-Hungry Individuals. Mr. Cory- ell's history without dates is practically a painless process except when our discussions of labor, re- ligion, and race become too heated. There are two passwords you must know to enter these ancient portals: nationalism and feudalism. You learn in World History, your first year, to be ready with these answers. Thanks to you, Mr. C., we shall always think more clearly, and strive for unpreiudiced, open minds which can chanqe their opinions. LATI Perhaps the fact that Latin I is held first period this year accounts for an occasional snore emanating from this class. At times we are prevailed upon to conjugate tor is it decline?l a noun. Latin is far from a dead language-especially if you can make puns in it as Miss Wolcott can. She somehow does instil life into our Latin, and We even have fun seeing who will get nauta, ae Ksailorl, or an unpronounceable Word to which someone invari- ably qives a French accent. In an English vocabulary test, when We don't know a Word, We look a second time, then nod wisely and say, Ah yes, a Latin derivative. MATHEMATICS To some people it's a straight line to perfection cmd others go around in a circle Cpi DD all year long. Whichever the case, Mr. Iohnson's math course will teach the girls to figure their grocery bills and the boys, their income taxes. In algebra you learn that the unknown, X, can equal almost anything. You Work with fascinating things such as logarithms and imaginary numbers. In geometry you find that a circle does have dimensions and there is such a thing as a dodecagon. Psychologists say that the study of mathematics develops your personality. Math with Mr. Iohnson must be very potent because he also teaches the psychology course. There you delve into the reasons that make you tick mentally and physically MUSIC Wednesday afternoons, the tune Smoke Gets In Your Eyes gets in everybody's ears as the chorus harmonizeslwith Miss Davis's help.

VVhat would those who shriek at the sight of a snake, do when they see the insides oi a frog? But it also has a mild, pleasant side. We think the funniest sight ot the year was Al and a butterfly net, madly chasing a papilio polyxenes only to miss him. This was on one of our many field trips on which We study leaves and the rest of nature and gather frogs, grass- , ,mm hoppers, and earth Worms. As We advance, We come to study the most complicated animal-man, and We ' l learn, as Dorsey would say, why we behave like .- A' human beings. A I ,X .X it . -V Q Q Q M 'tai ' W H gg ,. .,.

The four seniors in this class don't complain too much even though Mr. Berry says it's the most difficult high school course. They learn about sound, motion, mechanics and electricity by employing long math calculations. During lab periods they do many tas- cinating experiments. The only trouble is, if they leave them overnight, the sophomore boys will be sure to take them down, regardless of their Please do not touch signs.

These little French students are the apple of Maclarne's eye. After reading, num- bers, music, and a well-deserved lunch, the sleepy- eyed first graders-to the envy of upper school stu- dents-drag their little cots into Miss Srnith's room. But their school day is not all Work, for after their nap they have aftemoon activities - drawing pictures, listening to poetry, playing out of doors till the busses leave. ,ffl-fl Hebggflf lrf GJ N t S Sm Q Mzwyggiww ' - , H A Q Hgfiggmfi ' '-Nxsm was is .f' Q 2, , ,.. . ,Agn B Q. t. .V -is 43,22-saga M wwglx T355 WE ,la E , ftwxll gift-iE,g?w am -W V1 R 5.5! mils--st -,-.sv 5 -sf, M svwwujy-W s M X. s ,mtl ss M swfwgfv- new-it ws nutmeg SEQRES EHHBSE BCE' sign m 3 ,mm ww sw ,ts X, 5 --nsxglgsm seammmsxssagssss ssimssrsssssn sggggsssugggms s+ gq5s-ssswgtebg-ssssgggiss -mms Q Mesfsitglsssrsufa-xmswwsgsws1sea,-5-5uffs3Q'sEuwwHg1?? ,v 1. fm , :wma sf 3 It-Mmm-3,iit.mmstfs .m :mmEt'ss ,sys we ,tin 1 ss rjizflerzvstfggfjsssssafswsfsssgiiifsrsgggissttesigtjgs as :3flMQ:swssgx.5gswssmm1m t-fvgftsssssgs-gems sam as miss: vsgwss ms sms X s A ,s,i.:ssmQgs:s Mmm its is - -3i-:- Hai'-'BN KBS?-X nluwm an -fr wus? ,1,5.v,-X .45 M- 3 f H, ,ma in .tu,n.-sssgssfs,-fs- nys mls!! gin ,A H H it sssselfsssssiiwws M mam. -, ., if ifsgfalrgvsxxahzixsi :V ..-.-ftprsff ssxstigsns-Esgggug E gr ' ESM Wim -'. fi-1 sggt-vas 3--s. - mfs-s imm- Mf- H. s so is s x gnts sings wssipfe H stile!

After they come in from the out-doors, 'with rubicund faces and hard breathing, these accomplished readers sit down to books of their own choice- Winnie the Poo, or The Baby Elephant at the Zoo. In addition to readinq, others are learning to be- come artists, for they model in clay orfbrinq out easels and paint. Perhaps the builders of the block house may become architects in the future. Suitcases and books thrown in trunks of cars, A tickets pooled, Iuniors set off for Potawatomi. Forbidden snacks create a disturbance at midnight. Monday morning found the weekeenders limping to class with ill effects from a two hour horseback ride.

The mistletoe above the entrance door added an hilarious Christmas spirit to the evening. yAmQ. 8 1945 Blown back from vacation on the wings of a raging blizzard, the faculty and students felt their morale undermined. Why? Their cars were found bogged-down in the snow. An SOS. was sent out for the Adams Township snow-plow. LADL 18 1945 Shoot! Don't hold that ball! The boys won their first victory, over Bowling Green-maybe because of the perfect aim derived from the practice of throwing snowballs outside. Boys can sew as well as play basketball-witness Al's cur- tains in Madame's room. yAiQ. 29 1945 Second semester begins. Seniors are elevated to their rightful positions-in and out the front door as the rest of us freezingly walk on to the side door. They can now survey all, as they study in the front hall. Oh, to be a privileged senior! FEB. 8 1945 44 Toboggans and snowballs were abandoned today while Maumee Valley and Ottawa Hills played an exciting game of basketball. Because it was our first inter-school game of the season, the Green and White proved better than the Blue and White by one basket. The need for music was felt today. After the chorus sang one or two songs, everyone joined in on some old favorites, including five rounds of Skip to My Loo -one verse to each class. The teachers accepted a challenge to sing the next day at lunch. FEB. 9 1945 The day before our two day vacation was made even gayer by the assembly the seniors gave-a quiz program with dire penalties. Unforgettable ones were Vl-larriet Levis's proposal to a chair on bended knee and lVladame's cutting down the chairfyh tree. FEB. 21 1945 The Red Cross Drive opened today in Maumee as well as elsewhere, every grade trying to be the first to reach one hundred per cent. When we thought of our M.V. boys now in foxholes and trees, we opened our piggy banks and went without Mary's cookies at recess. h4AlL 1 1945 Some of us believed our fathers to be sticks-in-the-mud who never did anything but write income taxes and worry about us. But our minds were changed when we saw them play as good a game of basketball Cwithout ruleslj as our young he-men. As a preliminary, the final Blue and White game was played! hiAlL 23 1945 While the upper school matched its skill with that of other schools in the annual round of co-ops, the little children matched theirs in making Easter baskets and bunnies. But in an assembly Mr. Ward made us aware that Easter was coming. And so to vacation! L4AlL 29 1945 45 , ' ' N 1 I E 003' I ,, 1 S gy T T np-Q . 1 :1 7.

K if qw Wyse 5 52 BQYS' sPoRT Boys' sports-you don't think of one without the other. The boys out here get their full share of organized play. The fifth and sixth grade boys are taught the fundamentals of football, baseball, and basketball. They be- come proficient in marching-even do a column left with ease. Learning early to de- fend themselves, they have supervised box- ing matches. For the big boys, in the fall there's pass and tap on the football field, ln the Winter, it's basketball with heated games against other junior-high schools. There are Winter sports-skiing, skating, and tobogganing, lim, Sonny, and Al always seeking a slide that will be steeper and more full of thrills. Early in the spring, the boys come out for baseball and soccer. In basket- ball and baseball the traditional fathers' and sons' games are full of comic capers as the fathers-minus playing form-usually beat their sons. 'When Mr. Berry presents the M.V. letters to the boys in the award as- ' sembly, you may be sure they are deserved for both ability and sportsmanship.

No, girls, when you bully, both of you must hit the ground and the sticks at the same time. The seventh and eighth grade girls are learning the rudiments of hockey and basketball in preparation for the grown-up high school sports. The fifth and sixth grade girls become graceful through rhythms. They tumble tmethodicallyl and play volleyball, and in the spring, baseball and arch- ery. The high school girls play and talk Blue vs. White hockey in the fall, basketball in the Winter, and baseball in the spring, as well as individual sports such as tennis and golf. Excitement mounts all dur- ing the year as the team points add up and new games are looked forward to. Envied are the girls on the varsity team! They're the ones who visit other schools to play, although the war restricts their traveling. We await the award assembly with bated breath to see which team has Won the candle and which girls have merited personal chevrons.

The other day I stopped in to see Margery. She's Mrs. lames Eggplant now, you know, and in spite of her housework and church work, she seems to have plenty of time for concert tours and to be the best runner on the All American Women's Baseball Team. You should see her play second base! We should have suspected long ago, but we were too busy listening to her music. Now, I think she actually likes the baseball better! Yesterday, as I was coming into Toledo from Fremont, I noticed a peculiar looking contraption swinging along the side of the road. Imagine my surprise to find Ginny on the Woodville-Toledo Pulley which she in- vented, built, and is now managing. We had a wonderful chat and she told me all about the now internationally famous Highly Re- solved twhich is trying to preserve the peacel, about her becoming the Northwestern Ohio Knitting Champion, and that she is still trying to nab a certain person. She leads a gay life. You should see Willie! I-le is very fat, almost bald, and an expert on the Art of Indigestion. Then, since he always has had a variety of interests, he has become a fa- mous Whistler, has invented a new way of manufacturing glass, and has been voted the noisiest man in the United States. Right now he is making an analysis on why lip-sticks. Oh yes, he's writing his results in Egyptian. Dear Willie! I picked up a book the other day called You, Too, Can Be A Casanova. l was not too surprised to find Bill the author-he al- ways was an expert on the subject, so I'm told. He is now a noted psychiatrist and is forever acting as master of ceremonies at Rotary or the Lioness'. Of course he still collects records. In fact, he is supposed to have the be-st collection of jazz in the country. As for his car, the poor thing is so old and tired from carrying too many people that it can hardly get out of the driveway. Last Tuesday at lunch, I overheard some- one talking about her relatives. O course, I recognized Lucy right away, so went to say hello to her. I found her, as usual, in a handmade sweater that reaches to her ankles and a fine new haircut fshe thoughtl. She was very glad to see 'me and told rne all about her wonderful horses before she rushed off to a swimming meet. By the way Willie, you'd better look for us all at the alumnae luncheon and if you see someone crawling around in the front hall, don't worry-I only wondered if anyone had gotten around to repairing the chairs yet. See you then- -Luvima Clarr LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Five, being sound in mind C?l, mem- ory, and understanding, and about to depart from our dearly loved school, do hereby make our last will and testament in the manner and form following: To all the girls Cand all others interestedl, Margery leaves Malaguena. To Duff and his fine broom, Lucy leaves the basketball floor. To Mr. Iohnson, Bill Carr leaves his appe- tite. To Mr. Coryell, because of his great appre- ciation, Ginny leaves ah-nes-ly and tsk. To the luniors, Bill Clark leaves Peepers' Pond. And to anyone who is weightless, we leave, as a class, the hall chairs. Weather Vane Staff Nancy Boeschenstein .... .....

Gbviously, her mirror provides her last look before their first admiring glance. Since a mirror is so critical, it's essential that it be made of Polished Plate Glass . . . because only mirrors made of Polished Plate Glass give true and undistorted reflections. Libbey-Owens Ford for years has made this kind of glass . . . glass that is fully ground and polished on both sides . . . and many of Americas finest mirrors are made of it. When you buy a mirror, be sure that it bears the familiar red, White and blue L-O-P mirror label-your assurance of fine quality.

Glass is an ancient material-man has used it for 5,000 years. Through the ages, in Egypt, in medieval Europe, in colonial America, glass has been treasured for the many ways it serves civilization. Early in our own century, bottles, jars, window glass, even light bulbs, were made by hand. Manufacture was slow and costly. Many of us can remember our grandmothers care- fully treasuring each glass container because of the relatively few prod- ucts then packaged in glass. In the early 1900's, miraculous changes took place in the glass in- dustry. The machine revolutionized the making of glass as it had done in the textile and other industries. As usually is the case, the leader spon- sored research and invention, and the glass industry made more prog- ress in four decades than had been Machine-made glass surpassed in quality that made by the old hand methods and also speeded up pro- duction and tremendously reduced costs, which permitted bringing the benefits of glass to many products. Nowhere is the advent of a new era in glass more clearly seen than in glass containers, which each of us uses every day. Years of research and adoption of scientific methods at Owens-Illinois culminated in the perfection of the Duraglas technique of container manufacturing. This made it possi- ble to reduce the weight of con- tainers, retain adequate strength and produce them at high speeds economically. Today you see the results of this modern method of making Duraglas containers for all kinds of products you need for everyday living. It parent, impervious to moisture'and almost every chemical. Today's simplified glass containers have been the dictates of the Ameri- can women and the government. The government's dictates Were of a broad nature, to save critical ma- .1 terials and sub- ,I stantially increase .v', X 1 the production of the glass industry. J ' American women X if fi desired glass con- tainers of a shape convenient to handle, light in weight and with opening of such size as to conserve materials and still offer utility in home use. These simplified contain- ers born of wartime necessity will continue to bring women a multi- tude of products favorably packaged. ., , - - g - A -.15 M gg i I rsrf ' I OWENS-ILLINOIS GLASS COMPANY, TOLEDO, OHIO DEMPSEY OPTICAL DISPENSERS Dispensinq Opticians since 1912 in Toledo, Ohio Compliments of BOYD'S CUT RATE DRUGS Phone 3-3379 Compliments of SHNW-KENUNLL ENGINEERING CU.
