This Page Compliments of the Jones Funeral Home 19 History On September 4, 1945 thirty one C315 green and out of place feeling Freshmen entered high school preparing for one of the great steps in our life Cunknown to us at the time.D The first thing, which we had been thinking about for a long time to get out of the way was the Freshman initiation. We were a little worried at the beginning, but when it was over it really proved to be a good way of getting acquainted. To guide us through our first year of high school we elected the following officers: President-Jim Finley, Yice Prgsidlent-Catherine Williams, Secretary and Treasurer-Ann Hart, Reporter-Pat Altman, Historian- eanne IS er. We chose the red and white Carnation for our flower and for our motto we chose Look to the future, not to the past. We chose Mrs. Schafer as our class advisor. This year we held three very enjoyable class parties. The first was a Halloween party at the school building. The second was at the home of Mary Ritter and the third at the home of Ann Hart. This year we were very glad to welcome into our class Jim Finley, Catherine Williams, and Dick Buck- master, but very sorry to lose Ward Smith, Richard Sampson, Floyd King, Marilyn Haddox, and Marjorie Mapes. We were very well represented in sports and various activities at school this year. As Sophomores, we 29 members felt, perhaps, a little more in place than last year. We elected the following officers to help us along this year: President-Ann Hart, Vice President-Marilyn Wasson, Secrc- tary and Treasurer-Jerry Martin, Reporter-Catherine Williams, Historian-Jeanne Fisher. We chose Miss Fellers as our class advisor this year. We held three enjoyable class parties this year. The first was held in the barn at the home of Herbert Harris. The second we held at the school building and the third at the home of Ethel Rider. This year was a little slow but one big thing came this year and that was the ordering of our class rings. We welcomed Marjorie Mapes back into our class and late in the year, Arla Jean Keckley. We were very sorry to lose Dick Buckmaster. Again this year We were very well represented throughout the school in sports and other activities. Back to school as Juniors came 30 members really feeling by this time their place in the high school. We gained one new member, Jim Hall, and lost one member, Ann Hart. We elected the following officers: Presi- dent, Kenneth Adams, Vice President, Ramon Myers, Secretary and Treasurer, Jerry Martin, Reporter, Cath- erine Williarnsg Historian, Jeanne Fisher. We chose Mr. Clapper as our class advisor. This year seemed to be quite a busy one for a change. In September, when school started, we received our class rings and we think they are the prettiest yet. In November, we presented our class play, High Pressure Homer , which turned out a booming success. We held two enjoyable class parties this year. The first at the home of Betty Metz' and the other at the home of Mary Ritter. This year we took on a project of selling beanie hats and head scarfs to raise some money in order to give the Seniors a Banquet. On May 15, 1948, we presented the seniors with a banquet in the club room. We followed a Dutch theme all the way through. We had a nice time. We are becoming more entangled in the school activities as the years whiz by. Returning from summer vacation we entered our long-awaited Senior year with 30 members in our class. We welcomed two new members into our class this year. They were Richard Crilly from Mt. Blanchard and Junior Parker from Van Buren. We elected the following officers: President, Kenneth Adams, Vice President, Junior Parker, Secretary, Catherine Williams, Treasurer, Jerry Martin, Reporter, Marilyn Was- song Historian, Jeanne Fisher. . We were very sorry to lose Herbert Harris and Junior Parker later in the year. Dorris Dishong was eliected to fill the vacancy left by Junior Parker as vice president of our class. We chose Mr. Clapper as our a visor. On October 12, we journeyed to Findlay to the Harriet Green Studio to have our pictures taken. l1Ve were then guests to a theatre party sponsored by the studio. We held two class parties this year. The first one was on February 5 and the second on May 6, which was our last party as a class. This year we took on a project to raise money by selling pen and pencil sets. We also collected sales tax stamps which netted a little profit. On April 29 we presented our class play, The Whole Truth , which was a great success. Senior recognition day was presented on May 20. On May 21. the Junior class honored us with a formal Junior Senior banquet, which was centered around a Heaven theme. Dancing and games followed the banquet, at which everyone had a good time. Baccalaureate followed on May 22. On May 23, the final cur- tain was drawn to reveal our 30 members dressed in caps and gowns, receiving our diplomas. 20 Will We, the senior class of McComb High School, county of Hancock, State of Ohio, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and forty-nine, and having passed the rigid laws of execution, are now rea-dy to take our final leave from the dear old gates of McComb School, never to pass this way again. It.1S with sadness that we part into the cold, dark world, little knowing what will befall us, and hardly realizing how We dread to leave the cheerful faces of all our classmates, our friends and teachers, the pleasant assemblies, the plays we put on, our parties, all our little cliques we made, and all the other many memorable times we all had together in our schooldays. 1 So, on this sad occasion, we hereby bequeath our final possessions, hoping that they will be well cared for during our long departure from our now-narne.l Alma Mater . To the school we will our talents heretofore mentioned: Musical Ability, Athletic Ability, Beauty, Wis- dom, Aristocracy, and Popularity, with the comforting thought that never again wall such great master- minds pass this way. The underclasses are willed the following: To the Juniors we will this three-fold motto: Act as we did . Study as we did , Be as popular as we were . With this motto you will never go wrong. To the Sophomores we will our cultured minds and wise, intellectual habits, because, after taking a recent survey, we find that they badly need it. ' To the Freshmen we will our nerve, which is the only thing that aided us in skipping chapel, class:-es, and school, and being caught only a few times. To the faculty we will all the things we should have learned, but still don't know, all the things we should have done, but didn't do, and all the weary hours spent in the detention hall. I, Kenneth Adams, hereby bequeath to Tom Loy my famous ability to get along so wonderfully well with women and never argue or fight with them so Tommy won't have to be alone evenings. I, Pat Altman, hereby bequeath my mouse-like step when I walk in late at night to Micky Pingle, just in case Micky has car trouble some Sunday night. I, Eirlean Andonian, hereby bequeath my school-girl giggle to Sue Lawrence, in order to enable Sue to look at the brighter side of life. I, Norma Jean Conrad, hereby bequeath my temper to LeRoy Butler, because LeRoy could use some Winsome approach to his beguiling ways. I, Richard Crilly, hereby bequeath my title, The Perfect Gentleman to Ed Perkins, provided Ed can act the part and will need no coaching from his fellow classmates. I, Dorris Dishong, hereby bequeath my popularity with the members of the opposite sex, and my dispo- sition, to my sister Joyce, so Joyce can always boast of her sisterly love . I, Raymond Donaldson, hereby bequeath my baby picture to Bill Joseph, providing Bill doesn't think it is himself and start cooing over it. I, Joyce Ewing, hereby bequeath my ability to skip school and always get caught, to Dave Dreisbach, so Dave will always get a ride in Mr. Joseph's new car. I, Jim Finley, hereby bequeath my great ability at marble-playing to Kenny Winegardner, hoping that Butch will be able to live up to my ability. I, Jeanne Fisher, hereby bequeath my conscience to Betty Hoyt, knowing that Betty will keep it free from dust like I always did. I. Jim Hall, hereby bequeath to Charles Coakley, my shocking modesty, so Chuck can form new habits to his old tricks. I, Virginia Harper, hereby bequeath my outlandish ability to arrive at school just as the last bell is ring- ing to Bob Preble, who is Never late. I, Jean Keckley, hereby bequeath my magnanimous ability to stick to one man for a reasonable length of time at least, to Betty Rozelle, because Betty has to settle down sometime! 21 I, Marje Mapes, hereby bequeath my ability to always go steady, to Ramona Bennett, if Ramona pro- mises to keep the number down to a minimum. I, Jerry Martin, hereby bequeath my slowly balding head to Charles Norway, providing Diz continues to drink his milk and eat his spinach. I, Betty Metz, hereby bequeath my blue jeans and my bobby sox to Mary Lou Foltz, so Mary Lou can have' the casual look . I, Ramon Myers, hereby bequeath my ability to get home in time to do the morning chores to Richard Haddox, providing Richard doesn't race his little red truck too much. I, Eugene Neiderhiser, hereby bequeath my great talent for throwing erasers and Never getting caught to Herb McMaster, because Herb does not like detention. I, Lester Payne, hereby bequeath my way with women and my fatal attraction to Paul Showalter so Paulie can be in Top-Nitch condition for his coming years. I, Jim Rader, hereby bequeath my presidentship of the 'KGiddy-Girls , Inc. to Forest Peneton, who has earned it and who will surely want to read the most interesting minutes of all the former meetings. I, Pat Rader, hereby bequeath my ability to stick to one boy to Clara Williamson, if Clara promises to give up all her ardent fans. I, Ethel Rider, hereby bequeath my high voice to Charles Wasson so Chuck can sing Indian Love Call to his numerous girl friends. I, Mary Ritter, hereby bequeath to Jane Fisher, my hope-chest. It is a known fact that Clyde is bash- ful, Jane, but in time he will recover. I, Mary Joe Roy, hereby bequeath the ability to come in late at night and not have to put my hair up, and still have it look O. K. the next day, to Virginia Miller. This will come in handy on Sunday nights, won't it, Virginia? I, Berneice Rozelle, hereby bequeath the way I wink my eye at all the teachers Cespecially the history teacherb to Bernadine Cusac, whose new pastime will suit her better than her old, which was always being hungry . I, Mary Jo Self, hereby bequeath my quiet nature to Gene Routson so'Gene will keep quiet in study hall. I, Sam Smith, hereby bequeath my position as too-honor man on the Wolverines to anyone in high school who can live up to the rigid schedule of wolfing . I, Roy Spitler, hereby bequeath my dear little green car that took all of us so many places to Ted Martin, so Ted will have no excuse when he is asked to escort a girl to a class party. CWatch the brakes on it, Teddyj. I, Marilyn Wasson, hereby bequeath my red hair and my dark-rimmed glasses to Dal Lawrence. WOH,t he look simply stunning when he winks his eye and wiggles his ears to please all the girls on the school bus? I, Catherine Williams, hereby bequeath my nickname Prissy to Bonnie Wedge, providing Bonnie does not use it too much! We, the Senior Class of 1949, declaring ourselves to be of sound mind, do set our seal as this our last will and testimony. SIGNED: The Senior Class of -1949. WITNESSES: Jeanne Fisher Jean Keckley Ramon Myers 22 Prophecy It is such a nice, sunny day in spring, and Jerry Martin has just awakened from a little nap he has taken. It is the year 1965, and Jerry had an hour's leisure from his work, so he climbed Mt. Blanchard, overlooking tne great Metropolis, McComb. At the top of the hill, he fell asleep, but was suddenly awak- ened from his sleep by a clattering sound. Looking, he sees a most peculiar sight trudging up the hill. lt is two ladies, swinging before them in a most ludicrous manner, an old, rusty lamp. The lamp seemed to be quite heavy, and as they ran the last few steps. Jerry knows who they are. It is Jeanne Fisier an. Jeanne Keckley, two of his old classmates. Upon inquiry, Jerry asks about the lamp they are carrying, and the confession was made that it was ,an olu Alladin's Lamp that their Superintendent in 1949, Mr. Pees, had given to them as a graduation gift. If you rub it, said Jeanne, a little man, called a Geni will appear, who will give to you any wish your heart desires. Well, what are we waiting for? Rub it!! commanded Jerry. So Jeanne Keckley vigorously rubbed it, and out jumped a little mang imagine our surprise when we found it to be our friend and very good classmate, Re mon Myers. He looked peculiar, too. He had on a bright red coat, satin pants, green rimmed glasses, arid a green hat with a little green feather stuck up at the top of it. He smoked a long green pipe which smelled of incense. He certainly was a modern geni. Oh yes, and was he surprised to see his good friends and classmates, Jerry, Jeanne and Jean, who wish- ed for a trip around the world, with visits to everyone of the class of 49 . No sooner said than done, said Ramon, hop into my limousine, escorting them to his magic rug. In a minute we were on our way to lands unknown an ,- our first stop took us to Cleveland, Ohio where we found Jim Finley busily slaving away in an electrical laboratory. He was very surprised to see us, and told us that after going to Ohio State and making the All-American End on the Football team for two years and then playing with the Cleveland Browns he had retired from football, and opened this little electric shop in Cleveland called the DOT, Then we came to the bustling air base of Findlay, Ohio, and found Raymond Donaldson, who was always interested in accounting workin high school, and who is now an accountant in the office of Marcus Down- ing, an attorney of law in Findlay. There also in Findlay, we located Sam Smith, who had inherited his father's chicken business which he ran profitably and extended it to be one of the biggest chicken houses in the state of Ohio. His new name for it is Rooting Roosters. And who do you suppose we found in Columbus. Ohio? None other than Joyce Ewing. After teachiiff in grade and high school for a number -of years she became superintendent of schools in Ohio, and alsc became popular as a politician, and a ship in the U.S. Navy was named in her honor. After leaving Ohio, we traveled south to Florida where we visitel the Sun Tan Sanitarium on Miami Beach. and found Mary Joe Roy. Catherine Williams, and Marilyn Wasson. We were not able to stay too long because Ramon could not stand the smell of ether from the hospital. At the sanitorium, Marilyn was working as a registered nurse, and on the side line, was perfecting a new way 10 cremate bodies. She even had her own establishment, called the Was-on Creamery . P Here we lost our friend, Jerry Martin, who had spent the last fifteen years hunting for his school-girl sweetheart, who had departed from him on their graduation day. But Jerry's time was well spent, because he was prominent business executive in McComb, owner of the new Meatier Meat-Market . There also at the sanitorium we were surprised to find that Mary Joe Roy was a baby specialist who believed that any baby weighing under 24 lbs. at birth was premature and had to have special attention! Since Catherine Williams, fame as a nurse had become so widespread, she was busy treating patients on the moon. She made three trips there each day, and when we saw her, she was on her way to a tonsil- ectomy of one of the Moon-Chiefs . Realizing the importance of her duties. we did not stay long, but hur- ried to the Gulf of Mexico, where we heard we would see Mary Jo Self. We found her sitting on a sandy beach, all by herself, looking out into the sea. She was here because the rolling waves gave her new in- spirations for her new novel she was writing, entitle:l Drop Dead . n Our next stop took us to the Island of Cuba. Here we found Mary Ritter. who was now a cafeteria dietician. She had already perfected the Odorless Onion , and was now working on a new project, the Usouirtless grapefruit . Looking out onto the ocean we saw a ship just pulling into the harbor. The ship was commanded by Lester Payne. and the name of it was the U. S. S. Ewing. Lester told us that after swabbing decks for al- most 13 vears in the U. S. Navy, he finallv worked his way up to his present position and was enjoying him- self immenselv wandering around all the islands in the far Pacific. Lester said he would take us for a little trip if we wished it. so we rolled up the rug and boardfd the ship and sailed to New York, where we bid Lester Good-Byen and Good-Luck . In New York we visited Manhatten Island where we ran into Norma Jean Conrad. About three years after she made her final exit from good old M. H. S., she was married, and she and her husband traveled 23 in a special 'tHoney-Moon express to Manhatten Island, where the spent their honeymoon. The Honey- Moon express was a special autogyro which was decorated with colbred paper, tin cans, and a Just Mar- ried sign. The bride and groom looked happy when they started off into the clouds. When they had reached their destination, Norma Jean had met her good friend, Ethel Rider, who had gone there on her own honeymoon sixteen years ago and they had liked it so well that they live there permanently now. Norma, thinking this a good idea, took the thought up with her husband, and they, too, live there. The wedding autogyro made history as it was the first one to entreat a honeymoon couple, and as we were leav- ing the city we saw it on display in Grand Central Park. The plane was called the Floyd-Flight Norma. While we were in New York, we went to the Metropolitan Theatre where we went to the opera Mc- Como , one of the biggest successes in years along this une. We were very surprised to note that the leading part, that of Mergatroid was played by Marje Mapes. Her lovely singing had so captured the hearts of the people that she had been elected as honorary i'Mayorf' of New York. We wanted to stay longer, but as we had heard that Virginia Harper was right in the next town where she was operating her new anti-chewing gum movement, we went to see her. It seems that Virginia thinks that chewing gum is as dangerous to your nealth as smoking and drinking. and she has spent nearly a life-time going on tours in the country to proclaim h r thoughts. It was working, too, because she told everyone that chewing gum was made from dead horses' hide. Then we crossed the falls into Canada, and found Roy' Sraitler, who, after working' 10 years on Duroc Hogs, became President of the Canadian Razorback assoc-at1on. He keeps .all of his business contacts with a twin to his little freen Ford, which is still in perfect running condition. On our journey we stopped to visit each historical spot. Imagine our immense surprise and great plea- sure when we met Kenny Adams as we stopped to view Jefferson Davis' monument. He told us that after fruitlessly trying to get married for eight years, he was appointed as chief caretaker to the tomb. His chief job was to trim hedges, keep the lawns mowed, and se: that there are always flowers blooming on the grave. As we talked to Kenny, he told us that another one of our classmates, Eugene Neiderhiser, was in the same town. So, when we found him, he told us that after drawing posters for the Community Institute during his high school years, he is now drawing posters for the Pepsi-Cola Company. Bidding him good ble, we next went back to New York to see Jim Rad-r who, after being editor of the High School Annual, was given birth to the experience he needed for the ,ob .hc now holds as assistant editor of the New York Times. He soon expects to be promoted to the chief editor, whence he will settle down to the good old home-life . Going then clear out to Arizona, we located Richard- Crilly. U After going to Aeronautics Engineering School at Tucson, Arizona for four years, he is now designing airplanes for the U. S. Government. At the present he is perfecting a rocket that will fly to the moon. Way out on the ranges of Colorado, we saw Betty Metz, w-.o is now a professional rodeo Queen. It seems she always had this vocation as her secret ambition but failed to mention it to anyone in her school days for fear everyone would want to be one too, and L. e ..-mana would become too great. She is a Buck- ing Bronster Cowgirl and she is starring in her next rodeo, The Cobbies , a fashion review of all the new types of cows of 1965. Since this fascinated us, we dc cided to stay a while but had some difficulty, because we found that our 'tgeni , Dopey Meyers, in his maj estical being, was allergic to cows, and he would com- pletely disappear into his little lamp. In order to get mm out of his predicament, we had to order all the cows out of the arena, whence our gem would reappear. And so our journey took us far across the mountains, and since the altitude was too high, we rolled up our rug, and proceded on our journey in a car especially designed with 32 cylinders. This was named The Buggy Express . In this car we traveled to Hollywood, California. The first person we saw there Was Eirlean Andonian. Soon after Eirlean graduated from High School, she was called to Hollywoood on very urgent business. It seems that Hollywood dfs.gner Patty Altman couldn't do her best work because she was pining for friends from her old home. So 't.iere we found Eirlean, busily working as Patty's secretary. Pat was designing the new gown which she named Patty-Pockets . There also in Hollywood we visited Berneice Rozelle. She was very glad to see us, and told us that she had just inherited a large sum of money from a distant relative, and had bought a yacht which she navigated up and down the Pacific coast for private fishermen. She has grown real tall at last, and she has acquired a very nice sun tan. Since her husband is an admiral in the U. S. Navy now, she stays true to his interests by faithfully running this yacht business. After Dorris Dishong graduated from High School, she entered college and studied to be a painter of Hollywood profiles. When we saw her, she was engaged in tn- panting of a famous movie star. She is so widely known, that all the movie and novel celebrities came to have paintings. Even the great Sun- day School celebrity, Mr. Pees, known in his younger years as Doc , came to Dorris for a painting. She is now one of the richest members of our former class, and we were fascinated by her great works. No trip to California is complete without a visit to Alcatraz . So the next day we went there for a visit. The assistant superintendent and guide told us that the famous prison was being remodeled by the famous designer of the new San Francisco Harbor bridge, Jim Hall. He, unknown to anyone but himself, told us that he was remodeling the prison with several secret escape exits. He knows the layout very well as he has spent 10 years on the inside. He has had very much help and cooperation from his former pals of his graduation class. A ' There is only one of our classmates that we could not find. It was Pat Rader. After searching up and down the countryside for weeks and weeks, and inquiring from our friends her whereabouts, we finally found her. She was living in Leipsic, Ohio, a suburb of McComb. She was happily married and after rear- ing a family of seven, she was teaching the kindergarten classes at the school for a pastime, and was also the Phys. Ed. teacher for the Jr. High School. tContinued on page 669 24 N 25 LOVVZI' House From the more dignified Jr. members who have been elected as next year's Upper House to the fledging Kindergarden -e- these are the groups shown in the following pages. 27 Junior Class First Row: Betty Hoyt, Lucille Farthing, Jane Fisher, Bernice Gorrell, Pauline Zeltner, Marcele Matyas, Virginia Miller, Dorothy Smith, Wilma Benroth, Marilyn Shafer, Margaret Ewing, Hu Lea Tate, Bonnie Wedge.

After two successful years of high school iv: finally became upper-classmen. Although we lost two of our members, Marilyn Wagner and Dortha Bach, we still remained the largest class in high school. We were led by our class officers: Margaret Laniier, presidentg Bonnie.Wedge, Vice presidentg Margaret Ewing, secretary-treasurer, Joanne Spilsnaugls, historian, and Jane Fisher, reporter, who worked faithfully throughout the year. Our first activity of the year was our presentation of the mystery-comedy Aunt Cathie's Cat. We thoroughly enjoyed the work that went into its production, and we were rewarded with much applause and appreciation by our audience. In addition to our play receipts, we supplemented our treasury by popping and selling corn at our basketball games. With the fine cooperation of the class we increased our funds to enable us to sponsor a delightful formal banquet for the graduating seniors. We chose as our theme t'Heaven. Our mothers cooked the delicious meal which was served for us by the sophomores. Our favors were miniature angels and our dinner background was delightful harp music. After the banquet dancing and other entertainment was held in the cafeteria. Miss Harshman was our class sponsor throughout the year and we greatly appreciated her guidance. With happy memories of this year, we turn to thoughts of our last and most outstanding year as dignified seniors.

We missed the familiar faces of Shirley Gl'Ol Q , Joan Smith, Beatrice Bach, and lva Spence, We were sorry to have Barbara DeRhodes and Bonnie Strouse leave us later in the year. Our first class meeting was held September 7th in our home room. We elected as officers: Bill Joseph, President: Marilyn Ewing, Vice President, Grace Newell, Secretary-Treasurer3 Joan Sharninghouse, Historian, and Richard Haddox, Reporter. We chose Mr. Spirk as our advisor. To enrich our treasury, we sold class symbols. We held a class party on October 16th at the home of Richard Haddox. We had lots of fun even if it did rain. On the 29th of January we held a skating party at the tile pond. Every- body had a lot of fun although many exhibited bumps and bruises the next day. Our last party as sophomores was held on May 6th, We cannot decide which of these we enjoyed the most. We are glad to have so many of our boys out for sports. Several of them made letters in football and in basketball. We are expecting quite a lot from them next year.

Blanchard joined us making us 32 in number. On September 7, 1948, we held our first class meeting for the purpose of choosing the students who would be our leaders for the coming year, As our class officers we chose the following: President-Mabel Finley, Vice President--Everett Latta, Secretary-Treasurer-Imogene New- comer, Reporter-Marlene Miller, and Historian-Agnes Zeigler.

At a later date we chose as our class motto, Today decides tomorrow , and scarlet and gray as our class colors with the White Rose as our class flower. We were quite well represented in football and basketball as well as many other activities. Our freshman team played several of the reserve games and Won most of them. Keep up the good work fellows. Our first class party of the year was held in the club room on October 16 where our new members had a chance to become acquainted with us in our less studious frame of mind. A good time was had by all. We also enjoyed a party which was held in the spring.

Both parties were held in the club room of the high school the latter part of the year. Several of the boys in our class did their best on the junior high basketball team this year. We can look forward to their active participation on the squat iext year, providing they keep up the good work. Three members of our class were elected cheerleaders for the Junior High Tournament. They are Pat Martin, Sharon Wilkinson, and Diane Mapes. We are happy to have three new members join our group, they are Sharon Griffith, Clif- ford Watson, and Rilla Chamberlin. We are proud to say that we xzow have an enrollment of forty. We built up our treasury this year by using our good salismrnshrp to sell t'Pa:1ther re- flectors for automobiles. We are eagerly looking forward to next fall when we will be at last one of the upper four grades. There's nothing like being a Freshman.

Later, we elected Miss Eleanor Painter as our class advisor. In November we took a test known as the Kuder Preference Test. By this we were sup- posed to be able to tell the things we were most interested in. Also, during November our class was responsible for a chapel program. Bill Morrison was the chairman and gave the prayer. Helen Keckley read the scripture. Nancy Rosenberger was pianist for the program, and we asked Rev. H. Ward Grieb to be our speaker. We held our first class party of the year at the Shawtown Grange on December 11. Since it was nearly Christmas we had a Christmas Exchange which was full of surprises. Although Barbara Sudlow is not among the group in our class picture, she entered our class in February. She came to our school from Gilboa. Not long' after, Wayne Spitnale left us to enter school in Benton Ridge. Out of our class, Bill Morrison, John Washburn, Jack Pickens, and Jack Finley took an active interest in Junior-High Basketball. Also, one of our classmates, Bonnie Shoop, was elected Junior-High Cheerleader. Near the end of the year we enjoyed another party which concluded our class events for the year.

The next Friday we played Van Buren. They always have ideas of beating us, but we had the same idea towards them, and it ended in a deadlock with a score of 0-0, although we outplayed them. On Sept. 24, we played Mt. Blanchard, who didn't have such a strong aggregation and trimmed them 47-0. The following week We beat Liberty 45-0. Having built up plenty of momentum, we journeyed to Rawson on Oct. 9 to play Mt. Cory. The Coryites had a good team, but we conquered 19-0. The Thursday following, we entertained Vanlue's high spirited team. After a see-saw game the score stood 12-0 with McComb on top. The big game of the season was next. Arlingt n. The Mcfljomb team had been long waiting a chance like this. After a first half the score was 0-0, but Arlington intercepted a pass and capitalizing on a break, gave us our first defeat, 12-0. The Rawson game followed. They were unbeaten and big. We held them off for three quarters, but somethng happened in the second half, they scored twice, converted once. and beat us 13-0. It rained nearly all the next week, so we played North Baltimore in a sort of Mud Bowl. We stopped them with a 6-0 victory, nearly scoring twice more, but the time ran out at the half and the end of the game. Thoroughly dried out, we trounced Arcadia 39-0. At the end of the season, Jerry Martin was electrd honorary captain by his fellow team mates. Date Teams We They Date Teams We They Sept. 17 'Van Buren 0 0 Oct. 14 'fVanlue 12 0 Sept. 24 Mt.

Five lettermen returned from the 1947-48 L am around whom this year's team was built. There were quite a number out this year. A total of twenty-three started out but the Squad was cut down after Dart ot the season had passed. We had a couple of Cl sc ,:mes during the season, one with Arlington in which they scored in the last ten seconds to Win a 44-43 thriller. In the 'Little Nine league We Won three and lost five. In the tournament we defeated Van Buren and went on to upset Arlington and Vanlue who shared in the league championship with 7-1 records. Again Mt. Cory was too much for us in the finals. The reserves had an excellent year by winning sixteen and losing only four. Albert Linhart was high scorer with 357 points, making an average of 16.2 per game.

G. A, A. There are forty members in the Girl's Athletic Association this year who are in the upper four grades and are interested in sports aside from regular physical education classes. Our activities began with the annual Freshman initiation in which they good-naturedly made their entrance into the organization. Volley-ball Tournaments were played at noon and were enjoyed by many who came to watch and cheer. Each team consisted of nine to eleven members. The Junior Jeeps , a team composed of junior girls, came through the tournament undefeated. After the New Year. the basketball season started. Following several practice games, tournaments be- gan, each team competing with enthusiasm. These teams were composed of from six to eight members. Since the state law now allows girls' teams from different schools to compete under strict regulations, we participate in such a program. For each hour of any sport, four points are earned towards a letter. It takes 1000 points for a letter and 200 additional points are worth a pin. Extra points are earned by being a captain, manager, or officer of the organization. Participation in individual sports, such as hiking, swimming or bicycling is encouraged and points are granted toward the G. A. A. letter. In the spring, a Play Day was held at Bowling Green State University, where girls from different schools competed against each other. Only junior and senior girls are allowed to compete. 'The officers for this year were elected as follows: President, Marcele Matyasg Vice President, Marilyn Ewingg Secretary, Mary Jo Self, Treasurer, Bonnie Wedge, Reporter, Peggy Hanes, Historian, Lois Foltz.

Our school is well represented in the National Honoq Society again this year with a total of thirteen members from our school. The purpose of this organization is to create enllius asm for scholarship, stimulate the desire to render service, promote leadership and to develop charactei. The officers of the Society held three meetings at the County Suprintendent's office in the Findlay Court House. The first meeting of the entire group was held at Vanlue on Wednesday, Jan. 26. We had a very entertaining program. Participants from McComb were Joe Leonard, who played My Regardsw, a saxophone solo accompanied by Virginia Anderson, and a reading, On a Diet was given by Bonnie Wedge. The program was followed by games which were excellent as mixers to get eveiyon: ac- quainted with one another. Appetizing refreshments were served. The other large event was our Banquet and initiation held at Mt. Cory, April 20. The school was dec- orated attractively and in accordance with the occasion. The program, which was entertaining, was fol- lowed by the candlelight initiation at which time the new members lit their candles one by one and took the pledge and received their pins and membership cards. A business meeting followed at which time new officers for the following year were elected. The evening was a very inspiring and memorable one. Of the senior members, Jim Rader was our officer from last year. He had the honor of being Vice President. Mr. Williams is our advisor. Members initiated were Joyce Ewing, Bob Preble.

Mr. Pees acted as our advisor. The purpose of the Student Council is to give the students an opportunity to express themselves through their representatives in the council. Many suggestions are made on entertainment and improvements for the school. We started our activities of the year by selling refreshments at the first football game. Our aim was to raise the funds necessary to redecorate the refreshment stand. This aim was realized. Just before Christmas We joined the F. F. A. in sponsoring a visit of the Hoosier Corn Huskers, who put on a fine performance. At Christmas we put up decorations in various places throughout the school building. Christmas carols were played before school took up in the morning, at noon, and after school was dismissed. Seven movies were selected by our group which were shown to the students during the year. 4 9 F. F. A. F, t-I. A. Our organization, which is composed of 26 boys interested in farming, is a national organization. To be in this organization, you must have elected and com- pleted one or more livestock or crop projects. We are trying to encourage the members to have part ownership in their projects. In this way we will be more responsible for the management, care and feeding of the livestock and crops. The records must be accurate and neat. We sponsored, with the help of the Student Council, The Hoosier Cornhusk- ers. We sold pencils to the members of the school. We had a community Father and Son banquet which proved a great success. We had a Boar and Gilt Sale this fall and are planning on another next fall. . Our parliamentary Procedure team won a bronze medal last year and we are trying for something better this year. .Howard Shoop received the State Farmer Degree this last year and Roy Spit- ler IS going to apply for the State Farmer Degree. This degree is something which every boy in the F. F. A. is trying to work for. Very few achieve it. We have more State Farmers in our school than any other school in the county. Most of our boys are planning on going to Columbus for the State Judging contest this spring. r The officers for this year are: President, Ramon Myersg Parliamentarian, Roy Spltlerg Vice President, Lester Payne, Secretary, Keith Raderg Treasurer, Bob Cosnerg Reporter, Dal Lawrence.

During the summer we had a picnic at Riverside Par' .U We held a meeting the first Wednesday of every month. From time to time, after the business meeting was completed, we met with the F. F. A. for general discussion and entertainment. Our dues this year were 50 cents per person. To earn money we sold refresh- ments at basketball games. In the spring some girls and Miss Hochstettler attended the F. H. A. State Convention at Columbus, Ohio.

Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus was organized at the end of the football season. It is composed of fifty-five members. On February 5, eight members of the group were chosen to represent our school at Ohio Wesleyan. A song festival was held there for students of Central Ohio. Marje Mapes, Doris Newcomer, Margaret Lanker, Joyce Ewing, Burleigh Leader, Lynn Farthing, Richard Crilly. and Jim Finley represented our chorus. We were invited to the auditions held at Ada on April 2. Oh Lord, Redeemer , and Music, When Soft Voices Die , were the chorus' selections. We also entered the county au- ditions held at McComb. - The chorus was used as the basic group for the operetta and supplied the leads. The following officers were elected to guide us through the year: President, Dorris Disli- ongg Vice President, Virginia Miller, Secretary-Treasurer, Marilyn Wasson, Reporter, Jean- ne Fisher. 52 Qperetta On March 25, we presented the operetta Bittersweet Anne. It was an operetta in two acts. It was the story of a princess who had come to a certain kingdom for festival day. She was the king's granddaughter and therefore was summoned to the king's death bed. The people wanted to be free and when the king died they wanted her to proclaim the country a republic. Princess Diane refused to give up her throne. She fell in love with Captain ltogei Lee who was actively engaged in securing a republic form of government. Since she was in love with Capt. Lee and did not want him to know of her position as princess of the kingdom, she gave all the treasures for the cause of liberty. All ended happily and, as far as we know, Captain Lee never found out his Bittersweet Anne was a princess.

During the football season the band could be seen practicing long hours to perfect its formations and different numbers. On September 28, the band went to Bowling Green to enter a con- test of Marching Bands. Our band won first prize of seventy-five dollars. During the past year the band has played at all of the games except when the weather was too bad. Formations at the games included: a star, rocking chair, slipper, pipe, script M, airplane, four-leaf clover, cross, Finley, flag, boat and Vote Nov. 2. The Band Mothers bought two new field drums for the marching band. In appreciation for what the Band Mothers did for us, we hon- ored them at the Vanlue game. The band formed MOM,' and played lf You Were The Only Girl In The World while the 0 rotated. Moving pictures were taken of the band at some of the games. These proved interesting and pointed out some errors which were cor- rected. We did nothing during basketball season but became active again in the spring. 56 Concert Band Tl1e concert band is composed of sixty-two members and was or- ganized at the end of the football season. This arrangement enables the boys who play football to also play in the concert band. The tympani, bass horn, and several new uniforms were purchased during the year by the Band Mothers Club. The Band Mothers Club also honored us with a banquet in the spring. Several programs were presented by the band this year. 041' Mid- Winter concert was given on January 11, which was a real success. We also furnished music for the Community Institute on January 25. Thendara and Mountain Majesty were our contest numbers which we played at the Northwest District Band and Chorus Auditions held at Ohio Northern University in Ada on April 2. We are sorry to lose five of our members this year through gradua- tion. They are Joyce Ewing, Mary Ritter, Mary Joe Roy, Richard Ci-illy, and Jim Finley. 57 First Row: Alberta Hess, Lois Martens, Rosemary Leader, LaDonna Myers, Janet Collingwood, Patty Buchanan, Nancy Rudisill.

The membership is limited to Juniors and Seniors. Miss Harshman is our new advisor. The Y'Teens are the junior members of the Y.W, C. A. and cannot exist unless there is a Y. W. C. A. in the community.

Our main source of income for this year Was the proceeds from our cake raffles held at thc basketball games. ln February, around St. Valentine's Day, we sponsored our traditional t'Sweetheart Dance. The high s 'hool always looks forward to this occasion, because it is something very special. The decorating commit- tee did an excellent job in decorating the gym with red and white crepe paper and largfe white hearts with red trirgwming. A band was engaged for the dancing and everyone came formal. It was really a dance to remem er. In the Fall we sponsored a Hayseed Dance , quite the opposite from our Sweetheart Danc-. Everyone was to come dressed as a hayseed in a cotton dress or overalls. The decorations of corn shocks, SQFHW bales, pumpkins, and crepe paper in fall colors were in keeping with the Fall Season and vciy picturesque.

Senior Class Play On April 29, 1949, we presented our class play, 'tThe Whole Truthn, a comedy in three acts by Wil- liam D. Fisher. It all centers around the fact that Mrs. Joseph Martin made her family and servants promise to tell nothing but the truth. She had no idea the results would be so complicated. Everything in the Martin household runs smoothly enough until, on the servant's day off, Mr. Martin suddenly receives word that an impressionable business associate is coming-and Mr. Martin must impress him with many servants. So, Johnny and Elizabeth become the chauffeur and maid, Aunt Helen takes over the cook's duties, and the local pastor is converted into the butler! But then the sweethearts of the two children arrive unannounced, as does Mrs. Martinls wealthy aunt Mat, who dislikes servants! But in the end it all turns out right and everybody lives happily ever after.

Jr. Class Play Under the able and much-appreciated direction of our advisor, Miss Harshman, the Junior class pre- sented the play Aunt Cathie's Cat , a mystery-comedy in three acts, on November 10. The play centers in the living room of a once beautiful but now badly deteriorated home. Two very refined maiden ladies together with their two attractive nieces and dumb-dora maid rent the house, unaware of the mysterious happenings in it. Numerous spine-tingling incidents scattered throughout the play finally lead to the solution of the mystery. First Miss Cathia is hit on the head, while going to the basement to ieel her cat, Tom, that turns up lost. Pandemonium breaks out, and a thunderstorm adds to the eerie atmosphere. All through the play two mysterious characters appear at intervals, once carrying a dead' man across the stage. They are finally captured by Aunt Cathie with the aid of an old, decrepit, unloaded pistol. T e play ends with Aunt Cathie finding her catg an old romance blossoming out anew between Aunt Jane and Mr. Brent, who had arrived in the nick of time to identify Jose and Maria as old family servants merely searching for their long overdue pay: Tilly making friends with the policeman on the block, and a romance beginning between Peggy and Bill. The cast: Joe Leonard-Bill Pryor, a genial young real estate agent. Margaret Ewing-Miss Jane Trimble, the more bossy, overbearing aunt. Dorothy Smith-Miss Cathie Trimble, the meek, timid, mousey-looking aunt Marcele Matyas-Margaret CPeggyJ Trimble, the aunts' attractive niece.

What I am wondering, said Jeanne Fisher, is how Ramon happened to be a mystical being? So Ramon told us that after he had graduated from High School he became president of the Interna- tional F. F. A. and is now starting a project which will enable the Future Farmers to teach their animals tricks, and perhaps enable them to earn money atlsome circus or other animal show. In his spare time, Dopey studies magic, and his favorite trick is playing Alladin . O , said Jeanne. What are you doing now, Arla Jean? Arla Jean confessed that upon ,her graduation, she studied literature for a number of years, and now is a teacher at the McComb High School. In her spare time she writes nursery rhymes for her three little boys, Mistle, Matrado, and E phonso. She has dreams of their making the All-American football team some day, so has nicknamed them Stumb1e , Fumble , and Fa1l . At this time, all of us were curious to know what Jeanne herself was doing, so she told us. It seems that shortly after Jeanne graduated, she became a prominent social worker for the improve- ment of working and living conditions in the thriving city of McComb. Her secret ambition, which is to become the mother of the future basketball champs of Ohio, will have to wait until her present needy work is completed and she settles down to the home life she longs to have. And so here we are, we three, Jeanne, Ramon, and Jean, knowing that we soon must part for our respective positions. But We'll return next year with more trips, more talks, and more and better things accomplished.
