Assisting the stars are the under- studiest who anxiously watch the performance of the group, attempting to absorb some of the finer points of showmanship. To the accompaniment of the laughter of the children as they Watch the antics of the clowns, one hears in the distance the roar of the Wild animals and stamping of the impatient feet of the horses. One is suddenly brought to attention as another fan- fare brings an abrupt hush to the crowd as it turns expectantly to hear the Ringmaster announce . . and now, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to introduce to you a daring group Who, for the first time will attempt for you an act never before presented by them.

Compliments of Ty Elems Furniture Store CLASS HISTORY On September 3, 1948, we entered our first year of high school with 31 members commonly known to the upperclassmen as green Freshmen. After a few days of hard struggling and deciding on the courses we would follow throughout our high school, we held our first class meeting, in which we elected the following officers: President, Mabel Finley: Vice President, Everett Lattap Secretary Treasurer, Imogene Newcomer, Reporter, Marlene Mill- er, and Historian, Agnes Zeigler. Also we decided upon our class colors of Scarlet and Gray: our class flower, 'White Rose, and our flvlotto Today Decides Tomorrow. As our advisor we chose Mr. McVey. We held two very successful class parties during the year. Also we welcomed Maxine Watson from Mt. Blanchard to our class increasing our number to 32. On September 16, 1949, we entered our Sophomore year, feeling more a part of high school. We elected the following officers: President, Raymond George: Vice President, Marlene Millerp Secretary, Imogene Newcomer. Mr. McVey was chosen as our class advisor. Our number increased to 35 when we welcomed Bernita Bunnell who transferred to our class from 'Mt. Blanchard, Carolyn Cas- tello from Akron, and later Marilyn Stauffer from Arizona. We had a bake sale and two class parties during the year. Vacation passed again and September, 1950, found us as luniors, with our flashy class rings awaiting us. Looking over the class we found two classmates missing, Marilyn Stauffer, who moved to Lima, and Gene Wedge, who moved to Arcardia. To make up for our loss, we welcomed Dixie Beam from Centerburg and Bud Gary from Rawson. We chose as our class officers: President, Richard Snavely: Vice President, Everett Lattay Sec- retary Treasurer, Marlene Miller, Reporter, Mabel Findley, and Historian, Imogene Newcomer. As our advisor we chose Miss Painter. The main highlights of the year started with our class play One Too Many which proved to be a great success. ln February we held a very enjoyable class party along with a bake sale and a doughnut sale. In winding up the out-standing activities of our lunior year, we banqueted the Sen- iors using a Southern Theme. During the year we were sorry to lose Donald Thomas, Shirley Altman, David Driesbach and Lois Payne. ln September of 1951, with a class of 29 members, we began the last lap of our four-year career, with Mr, Clapper as our advisor. We regret to have lost Mary Lou Pingle during the year. We also want to welcome Carol Chapman from North Baltimore. We organized with 'Marlene Miller as President: Raymond George, Vice President, Mabel Finley, Secretary, Carolyn Ewing, Reporter, and Bernita Bunnell, Historian. We chose as our Senior Play a comedy, Don't Take My Penny which we presented on No- vember 9, and proved to be a great success. One of the Bright spots of our Senior year was a banquet given in our honor by the Iuniors on May 24. We brought our high school career to a close with Baccalaureate on May 25 and Commence- ment on May 26. We are proud to say that we have had very outstanding athletic as well as scholastic work. We hope that Today has decided Tomorrow as we leave McComb High School, never to enter again as students. 20 WILL Wei, the Senior Class of McComb High School, county of Hancock, State of Ohio, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two, being at this date of sound mind, body and memory do declare and publish this as our last will and testament. To the entire school we leave our pleasant dispositions and ability to get along with everyone. To the faculty we leave our warmest farewells and hope that all future senior classes will live up to our newest set of standards. To the Iunior Class we will our ability to be as studious and of least trouble at all times. To the Sophomore Class we will our nerve to skip school and get caught only a few times.

The two boys, better known in their high school days as Et Latta and Bud Gary, joined forces upon graduation and formed a small circus with performers taken from their own class. Their circus is now as famous as Ringling Bros. They were requested by the McComb Chamber of Com- merce to bring their circus back to their old home town. Upon approaching the ticket window, we find another graduate of 52 , Carolyn Collingwood, busily selling tickets. lt seems that the high school romance between Et and Carolyn turned out to be the real thing. When asked why she was selling tickets she replied, Everett wanted to put me in the show as a performer, but l told him he wasn't going to make a monkey out of mel If you go inside you'll see someone who will show you around. As we proceeded toward the big tent. we were confronted by none other than Bob Sparrowe who was the show's best barker. Katy Little and her brood of young ones were overheard discussing their highschool days. Let's listen as Katy says, Whatever happened to the rest of our old gang, Bob? Well, quite a few of them joined our circus. Come along with me and l'll show you. We followed them as they walked down the main thoroughfare. Katy was very surprised to see such familiar names and bright signs as Puffy and her Magic Dogs. Why, that's Io Ellen Shoop! exclaimed Katy. Yes, answered Bob, she and her husband, Bill, have a pretty good act. Her love for dogs made her one of the best dog-trainers in the U. S. Y As we continued down the midway, we saw the Indian Rubber Man, better known as Charlie Wasson, who is remembered for his dramatic underhand shots and his bouncing falls in high school basketball. Katy asked, Whatever happened to that good looking Charles Spitler? Oh, he's right down here. He was so good at throwing spit balls in English, he decided to make a profession of his skill, only he's using knives. See, there are his two assistants. Don't you recognize them? It's Maxine and Dixie, exclaimed Katy. Bob explained that the girls thought every other job in the circus was too dull and took this one because it was exciting not knowing for sure what would happen during the act. By this time Katy's little Gerald lr. demanded cotton candy. Who should be selling it but Carol Chapman? Although having been with the class only a short time, Carol decided to stick with it and be in the circus with them. Now Bob decided to show Katy the Big Top. lust inside the tent was none other than Raymond George interviewing spectators under the Big Top for the local radio station WMCC. After attend- ing college for 10 years, he went into radio work and is now McComb's outstanding announcer. As we drew nearer, we overheard Raymond saying, And here are some more '52 graduates. Here are Gene and Sue Lee. They disclosed that they were both so fond of basketball, they decided to raise their own team. Already they have their five year old triplets practicing regularly. Continuing on our way, we saw two more old school churns who got married and maintained separate careers. Mrs. Frank Funk, formerly Mabel Finley, had realized her life's ambition to become a nurse, while Frank had joined the Cleveland Browns, since he enjoyed football so much. Both are presently enjoying successful careers. Right beside them We noticed Don Gnd Betty Thomas, President and Vice-President respectively, of the Findlay Coca-Cola Company. 23 As we followed Raymond and Katy, who continued walking, we saw them get bumped into by a peanut vender. Upon a second glance, we saw that this vender was another old classmate, Robert Roy, who took such an interest in peanuts that he raised them for a living and even got paid with them. Look who's over here, Katy exclaimed, it's Richard and Naomi Snavely. Let's go talk with them. We found Richard had become a very successful farmer after graduating, and he now special- izes in the care and production of schmoos for breeding, which Richard said was an interesting occu- pation. After leaving the Snavely's we noticed that Katy and Raymond spotted a small group of '52 graduates who were busy discussing their school days. Raymond interrupted their conversation long enough for each one to say a few words. We heard a woman say, Why, yes, l've been married now for over l0 years and Louie and I have three daughters and two sons. We're living on a small farm just outside of Deshler. The children just love the farm. This, of course, was Marilyn Deutschrnan, whom We knew as Marilyn Adams. And what have you been doing, Ronnie? Raymond asked a tall, quiet, blond gentleman. Con- trary to the belief of all his classmates that Ronnie would also turn to farming, he, like Frank had become a professional athlete and was now on the swimming team representing the U. S. in the Olympics. As this group interview continued, we heard two more familiar voices. One was Bernita Bunnell. lt semed Bernita was married shortly after graduation to a young man named Bishop. That, she said was so she wouldn't have to change the monograms on all her handkerchiefs, blouses, etc. The other familiar Voice was that of Mary Mae Bibler, who also married. She and Gerald are living beside the Bishops so Mary Mae and Bernita could continue being close friends. I had better find some seats so we Won't miss the big show, Katy said, l'll be seeing you. As Katy sat down, she was approached by a woman with a notebook and pencil. Kate recognized her as Marlene fMiller. Marlene explained she was interviewing people at the circus for the McComb Herald Tribune, the city's thriving newspaper. Here's my assistant, she said. Katy was quite surprised to see Nancy Clevenger, who had also been in her class at dear old McComb. After visiting for a While, Katy was again alone with her children and the big show was about to begin. First the elephants paraded around the tent. When Katy saw who was riding one of the elephants she almost choked on a peanut. lt was Vicky Andonian, and what a pretty rider she was! Katy waved and Vicky, seeing her, waved back. Wh,at a long time since l've seen her, thought Katy. W ' B' As the parade continued, what to her astonished eyes should appear, but a pair of Siamese twins. Of course, they weren't really twins, because Kate recognized. them as Bonita Crouse and Carolyn Ewing. They would certainly fool anybody who didn't know them, though, Katy said to herself. Katy was quite surprised to see Carolyn and Bonita masquerading as Siamese twins, but when she saw the bareback riders, her mouth dropped open like a door with a broken hinge. Imogene Newcomer and Bonnie Thomas, of all people, although she had to admit they were pretty good. Pushing down through the crowd, with a few hasty Excuse mes Katy dashed out of the ring to talk for a moment with Imogene and Bonnie. She was instantly interrupted by Raymond, who hap- pened to glance at his watch and cried, Great Scott, Katy, corne on! We have only twenty minutes to reach the studio and get these notes put together for the 6:00 broadcast. With a hasty goodbye they disappeared into the Crowd. 24 t Carolyn-tomboy fstcrqep Tie it tight, Io! It cc1n't be that bud, Rich: Loches mcmp Second childhooziy NVhere's Helen? Reheursinq?

FOOTBALL After losing 10 lettermen through graduation tpractically our whole linel, the Panthers gathered together 7 returning lettermen, and came up with one of the finest records in the history of the school, with 7 wins, l loss and l tie. On September 7 the Panthers traveled to Pandora for a preview tilt with the champions from Put- nam County, and taking advantage of every opportunity, came up with a l2 to 7 decision over the highly rated Grove Bulldogs. The following week we entertained Clyde from Seneca County with a 41 to l9 victory. Vanlue was the next victim of the clawing paws of the Panthers, and the red and black fought hard to come out on top of a l3 to l2 decision that had the fans biting their finger-nails until the final gun sounded. The Arlington Red Devils, the old McComb rival, came to McComb on September 28, and had to tContinued on Page 863 42 Gerald Burris, End lack Pickens, Guard loe Collingwood, End, Back Ned Dillinger, Guard Chuck Wasson, Back Bob Sparrowe, Back Frank Funk, Tackle, Back Ronnie Myers, End, Back lack Finley, Back Richard Snavely, Guard Chuck Spitler, Center Richard Ritter, Guard Bob Pickens, End Alvin Shoop, Back Gene Routson, Tackle First Row-Chuck Wasson, Ronald Myers, Frank Funk, Raymond George, Bob Sparrowe, Ioe Collingwood, ' k P' 1 .

With tive returning lettermen back, the Panthers were expected to do pretty well. However, they didn't get started until tournament time. The Panthers opened the season with highly rated Deshler and went down to a 45 to 49 score. That was a costly game because of the injury to big Frank Funk, who was lost until tournament play. McComb had their ups and downs during the regular season and came in with a third place tie with Cory-Rawson tor league play. On February l4 the McComb Panthers started into the tournament games with Mt. Blanchard, which McComb won 57 to 31. Vanlue, who beat McComb twice in the season, were humiliated by the Panthers to a 54 to 39 score. The Panthers then played Arlington tor the championship and lost a heart-breaker to a..4l to 46 score. McComb then moved into district play at Tiffin with Hopewell-Louden. The game was close all the way but we came out on top ot a 33 to 37 score. New Haven, who knocked oft the top seeded team, was mauled by McComb 74 to 40. Leesville moved in with a Z3-3 record. This was one ot the toughest games oi the season but McComb came out on top to a 52 to 50 score.

G. A. A. Fifty-tive members ot the Girl's Athletic Association started another year of sport activities by elect- ing the following officers: President, lmogene Newcomer: Vice President, Mabel Finley: Secretary- Treasurer, Carolyn Ewing: and Reporter, Lois Spitler. The G. A. A. is well known as a national organization for the purpose ot providing girls in the upper tour grades with extra sport activity aside from their regular physical education classes. Any high school girl is eligible to join it she desires. The members divide into teams of their own choice, and enjoy participating in team activities such as basketball and volleyball tournaments which are played at noon During warm weather, the G. A.. A. girls are usually outside playing softball or soccer. Along with the preceding team sports, points toward letters and pins are earned by taking part in individual sports such as ping pong, swimming, hiking, walking, bicycling and skating. Each girl received tour points for every hour ot these sports, and anyone having 1000 points or over receives a letter or pin. A very successful initiation of the new members was held in November and fun was had by all. Night meetings were held once a month with Miss Eleanor Painter as our advisor. 47 1+ ,ff SIDESHOWS Hr.

The story revolves around the sixteen year old daughter of the household, Penny Pringle. Penny feels she is destined to play the leading role of Dimity West from the novel, Stars in Her Hair. When Penny's boy friend Kerry masquerades as the author of Stars in Her Hair, the situation be- comes lively. But when Greg, the beau of Penny's best girl friend, disguises himself as a girl and pretends to be in love with Kerry in his masquerade, the play becomes hilarious. To add to the riot, there is Lydia, Penny's talkative and absent-minded mother, and Monsieur Henri, a small, nervous French designer. The love interest is not forgotten either, when tMark and Sally find a mutual interest in chickens, which leads to the play's romance. The play's climax is logical and yet surprising to everyone. Mavis, Penny's older sister, gets the part of Dirnity West. The cast was as follows: Myers, Bud Gary, Robert Roy. Mabel Finley ... ..... Everett Latta .... Dixie Beam ,....,, Frank Funk ......,.....

The two-hour iarce takes place on the iront porch of the Edward I-lomey residence in a small, middle western city. Edward l-lomey, returning from a hard day's work at the store, demands peace and quiet, be- cause lonathan Sedgewick, big-shot of the Grocers' Association, is coming to see his plans for a new plastic method ot canning, and if Sedgewick likes them, we'll be sitting pretty. Sedgewick is eccen- tric, has a phobia against bugs, insects, and animals oi all sorts. When the three Homey otf-spring, their pals, an eccentric bug-collecting uncle, a pie-making lady next door who adores the professor, a distracted Italian zoo keeper, an escaped lion, a maid who would just as soon live in an ant hill, a party, and a dozen and one other things get under way, Mrs. Homey tries to get the peace and quiet her husband demands, but it's a big order. However, just short of wrecking both Mr. Homey's invention and his mind, the mix-up comes out well enough. The cast was as follows: Lois Spitler ,,.,, Fred Metz . ..., ,.. lim Campbell ,,,,.

Oh, yes, we were young but very willing to work hard tor our goal. Some- times during football season it seemed that Mr. Burt just didn't have a heart when he'd say, Okay, kids, let's go through it just one more time. 'We always got a kick out ot that, LET US. He was sitting in the stand while we were doing all the marching. However, on game nights we were glad we had gone through our show ONCE MORE. We seemed to pick up a lot of spirit this year and are looking forward to our next marching season. The graduating of our senior members is always a loss that is noticeably felt tor a time. Those whom we shall miss next year are: Imogene Newcomer, Mabel Finley, and Carolyn Ewing with their flying batonsp Robert Roy on trombone: Bernita Bunnell and Mary Mae Neiderhiser on tlutesp Carolyn Collingwood, Kate Little, lMarilyn Adams and Nancy Clevenger on clarinet. Compliments of Hall Hardware CONCERT BAND The Concert Band act under Way immediately after football season. lt was qood to see some of the faces of those Who had been absent during the football season. The first concert of the year was played at the Farmer's Institute and was well received by the townpeople. Over one-third of the band participated in the All-County Band Concert held at Mt. Cory-Rawson on Ianuary 26. Many of the members entered the solo ensemble auditions on 'March 29, On April 5 the band went to Ada for the spring auditions.

DRUM MAIORETTES Three of the present drum majorettes, Carolyn Ewing, Mabel Finley and Imogene Newcomer, will graduate this year. They had led the band for seven years, ever since McComb has had a band. The band will feel strange for a while without their leadership, but before long it will feel natural to follow the new drum maiorettes who have been well schooled by those who are graduating this year. Thus, may we say well done to Mabel, Carolyn and Imogene.

Ohio 2nd Block North oi the Stadium Entrance 1uin-1niniuiuinzu-init:iolnluiuiuzoiuzicini How good is good enough ? Here in America, we're a lot less interested in answering that question than we are: How much better can we do it? That's why last year's track records have a way of falling, this year. That's why this year's miracle drugs give way to greater medical miracles, next year. That's why we come up with television . . . then color television. That's also why we come up with a good gasoline . . . then a better gasoline. For, under the healthy, competitive system we have in the U.S.A., there is a reward in sports, in science, in business-for those who are not satisfied with good enough. As long as every individual and every company is free to seek the reward that comes with doing it better, America will continue to be a better and better place in which to live.

Blanc hard which was a close game for one quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter the Panthers opened up and Walked off the field with a 4l to 14 score.
