The final goal has been reached after four years of hard work, fun, com- panionship. and all the many other characteristics of high school life. The end of each year was, in a sense, the attainment of a smaller goal, but the great moment came when we were handed our diplomas and were set upon the threshold of a new and different life. Just before we open that door to new experiences, we should pause a moment and look back upon the series of events which have marked the path to so great an achievement. 1942—How well we remember that year, when as “Greenies we stormed the mighty fortress Me- morial. The wind was soon removed from our sails and not until the next year as Sophomores were we completely recovered. As Juniors, we became upper classmen and enjoyed all the privileges extended to this select group such as: The Junior Class Play and the Jr.-Sr. Reception. Now we have completed our Senior year, perhaps the 'most enjoyed of them all. It is certainly the one to be most vividly remembered, for throughout the year we were continually aware of the fact that our school days were drawing to a close and we were busy packing memories to take on the long trip through life. A sad memory goes along with all the happy ones for all of us lost a fine friend and wonderful classmate when Eileen Clifford was fatally injured in an automobile accident. All in all our class has had a rather eventful history and we shall always be grateful to those who made our four years in high school happy ones.

Juniors Throughout the year we participated in sports. Four of the starting eleven players on the football team were from our class while practically all of the reserve basketball players were juniors. The annual class play was presented in October. An able cast selected by Miss Codington presented “The Doctor Has A Daughter.” which was well received by the audience. For our assembly, we portrayed the correct procedure for a business meeting and stressed friendlier relations with other countries primarily through letter writing. The class rings arrived in February and everyone was pleased with them. The last and most important event of the year was the reception. We worked hard to make it a success. With our junior year behind us we have learned many things which will aid us in becom- ing successful seniors next year. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY D. ARMSTRONG CO. DRY GOODS E. A.

Although we were still underclassmen we felt as if we had a higger and more important part in the life of the school. At the beginning of the year we elected the following officers: President _________ Kenneth Kuenning Vice-President ______ Fritz Bornhorst Secretary____________Thelma Armstrong Treasurer ___________ Wilma Rohr bach When the Student Council was formed we chose the following Sophomores to represent our class: Pat Bamberger.

Sophomores During the year we gave an assembly in which we introduced Miss Etta Kett to the stu- dent body. 'fhe Sophomore class fervently hopes that everyone learned a lesson from her. Several of our boys won football awards while one earned a basketball letter. One of our girls became a cheerleader during the year. A large number of us were members of the band and chorus. When we come back to school next year we will all be a little older and better equipped to face the problems which will confront us in our Junior year.

Lyle Barber, organized a ninth grade basketball team which played a number of games and took part in the Freshman Tournament at Lima where it made an excellent showing. Since there were so many upperclassmen in the choir. Miss Kohler organized a Freshman Chorus. This chorus sang at the Christmas Cantata and took part in the operetta Jerry of Jericho Road.” In March we had charge of an assembly program which was well received by the students and faculty. We are now working for the day when we will be upperclassmen of Memorial High School. T H f S PAGE SPONSORED BY TUMBUSH'S EGG PLANT THE ST.

HUYVER Trophies For the second year in succession, Memorial's stalwarts of the gridiron turned in an exceptionally fine season. In addition to capturing the coveted Western Buckeye League title for the second time in as many years, they accomplished what no other team in the history of this League has been able to achieve, that of holding all of their League opponents scoreless. This is indeed an envious record. Let us hope that next year’s team will be able to bring another Western Buckeye League Championship to our school.

Football Season ST. MARYS 12—SIDNEY 12 Memorial gained an early lead, lost it. then came roaring back to tie it up. After that it was anybody’s ball game. Inability to score the point after touchdown proved costly. The game ended with both teams scoring two touchdowns and no extra points. ST. MARYS 26—KENTON 0 St. Marys played its first League game and trimmed Kenton 26-0. The Wildcats couldn’t gain any headway through the Roughrider’s strong defense. ST. MARYS 31—COLDWATER 0 The Roughriders won their second straight game when they overpowered the Cavaliers from Coldwater. The game was played in a sea of mud and water, keeping both teams below par. ST. MARYS 25—CELINA 0 Celina’s Bulldogs couldn’t match Memorial’s boys as they romped to their second League victory. It was a case of “home town boy makes good” as Coach Barber, a Celina graduate, re- turned to show his home town friends how football should be played. ST. MARYS 25— BLUFFTON 0 St. Marys traveled to the Pirates’ stomping grounds and won it’s third League game. Bluffton was powerless to hold the Roughrider’s advance to a second Western Buckeye League Title. ST. MARYS 67—BELLE FONTAINE 0 The Rambling Roughriders ran their string of victories to five when the overwhelmed the Chieftons 67-0. The reserves as well as the regulars, did everything right, while nothing seemed to click for the hapless Chieftons. ST. MARYS 33—VAN WERT 0 The undefeated Cougars came to town in an attempt to stop the also undefeated Roughriders. Memorial jumped into an early lead which it never relinquished. 'This was undoubtedly the best game played by the St. Marys boys throughout the year and gave them a rating as one of the better teams of the state. ST. MARYS 19— WAPAKONETA 0 St. Marys clinched the Western Buckeye League title by subduing the Wapakoneta Redskins to the tune of 19-0. This was Memorial’s seventh straight victory. It was a costly one. how- ever, since Huwer received an injury which side-lined him for the rest of the season. ST. MARYS 0—LIMA SOUTH 13 The Roughriders met their Waterloo at the hands of Lima South’s Tigers.

He, along with Huwer, was named to an Honorable Mention position on the All-Ohio High School team. BAXTER—Don was a capable replacement at any backfield position. He is a junior. BECKETT—Jim's passing coupled with his never-say-die spirit made him a capable quarterback. BERLET—Ned was a senior who was converted from tackle to guard and ably played his position. BURGER—Tom was a crack defensive end. He was also the punter of this year's team. He’ll be back next year. ELLIOTT—Bill in his first year on the Varsity became a strong defensive and equally good offensive tackle. Watch him. I1ARNER—“Tillie” in his first year of football developed into an especially good back. Too bad he’s a senior. HUNTER—“Commando was an excellent blocker and a tough man to move on defense. HUW ER—Charlie was undoubtedly the best back in this section of the state. He was the highest scorer on the team and a bear on defense. KUENNING—Kenny was a steady reserve end who was also an adept pass receiver. McBROOM—Bob, although light, was a good runner and an excellent blocker. McKEE—A1 was a senior who was especially good at blocking. He showed to good advantage when in the lineup as a replacement at end. MILLER—“Big Eddie was a steady tackle who always did more than his share. Next year should be his best. MILLER— Tucker was a capable reserve ball carrier and blocker. He is a senior. MILLISOR—Bob. This was Bob’s first year of football. He turned out to be a competent tackle. SCHNARRE—Chuck proved to be a rock on defense. He is a sophomore and will bear watching the next couple of years. SCHNARRE—Johnny was an immovable center who also played the safety position. This was his last year. VANDERHORST—Vandy was a hard driving fullback who improved greatly as the season progressed. VVIDNER—George was a big sophomore guard replacement. He will be back for two more seasons. VVIDNER—Jim was an agile runner and an able passer. He was perhaps the best ball handler on the team. YOUNG—Russ was a fast and nimble runner. This was his first and last year of Varsity competition. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY BARNHART'S FIRESTONE STORE THE GLASS BLOCK CO.

Many activities have been carried on. Some of these were an intra-mural basketball league and an intra-mural softball league. These activities were staged during the noon hour and not only provided good recreation for the participants but an enjoy- able diversion for many who “looked on.” Physical Education is of vital importance in the development of the individual. It serves as a basis for a healthful life. There are many examples in our own school of the benefits of Physical Education. One boy gained a startling seventy pounds and add- ed seven inches to his height dur- ing his four years in high school. He gives a lot of credit to the Physical Education program for assisting in this development. What could feel more refreshing than to play a good hard game of football, basketball, baseball or tennis, then top it off with an in- vigorating shower? Our Physical Education pro- gram has been arranged largely through the work of its director. Lyle K. Barber. He should be commended for his untiring ef- forts. The one desire of the seniors who are leaving is that the fol- lowing years shall be just as en- joyable and as exciting as the years they spent in Physical Education. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY Sherman Company [45] Girls' Physical Education During the past year the girls have enjoyed many sports. For example, there were basketball, practice bowling, volley ball, sock- er field ball, baseball, softball, ten- nis, and table tenins. To keep them fit” the girls participated in many exercises which employed muscles previously unknown to them. Also, they used the mats and many mastered a balance, such as the sitting, stomach or standing balance. Some mastered all of them. Intra-mural basketball, soft ball, and ping-pong tournaments were held during the noon hours. On various occasions, the girls enjoyed hikes to Sleepy Hollow and the Aqueduct. The girls organized tumbling teams in some classes, and on Fri- day afternoons they learned new stunts and balances. They liked tlu various games and activities and were very appreciative of the guidance and aid of Miss Geiger. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY THE AUGLAIZE BOX BOARD CO. THE GORDON, HAUSS, FOLK CO.

It is certainly a great help to the players to hear their followers cheering for them to come through with a touchdown, a basket or victory. Memorial was fortunate this year in having loyal and capable cheerleaders. I'he three pictured above were joined by two others, Charmaine Russell and Carol Moothart, during the basketball season. Each one did a good job. The students, too. are to be commended for their fine co-operation. Visiting teams did not have to be told that we had a loyal student body. Our cheering demonstrated that.

Live Wire Staff The “Live Wire” of '46 has now come to an end. It is quite an involved task to publish an edition of the “Live Wire.” The process is as follows: The editor assigns topics and news items to the reporters; the reporters turn the articles in to the editor; the editor corrects, re- vises or gives his approval to the articles and hands them to the advisor; after the advisor’s ap- proval the articles are given to the typist; the typist finishes them and then the editor and ad- visor check the typing errors. The editor takes the articles to the newspaper office. After the type has been set at The Leader office the editor and assistant editor proof read the material and make the necessary corrections. It may seem easy to do, but it definitely is a complicated affair. We wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to The Evening Leader for donating one page to us every other Monday. We also wish to thank all those who saved Sales Tax stamps for us. It is our sincere hope that next year’s “Live Wire” staff and advisor will have as much co- operation from the students as we have had, and will enioy editing the paper as much as we have.

The High School Choir under the capable direction of Emma M. Kohler has had an enjoyable and profitable year. The members have worked earnestly and conscientously; striving to perfect a great variety of songs- classics, spirituals, romantic types, novelties, modern compositions and the festival types. During the Christmas season the choir presented a beautiful Christmas concert to a large, appreciative audience. Later they presented the operetta Jerry of Jericho Road” by Clark and Clark. Miss Coding- ton colaborated by directing the speaking parts. A capacity audience was generous with its praise for the principals and choruses of this outstanding production. The choir took part in dedicating the memorial plaque to Mr. McBroom. They sang two of his fav- orite songs: I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked” by O’Hara and Open Our Eyes” by Macfarlane. In addition to these activities the various ensembles, the High School Girls Sextette, the High School Boys Quartette, trios, duets, and soloists have been in demand throughout the year singing for assemblies, programs, plays, and a great number of organizations throughout the community. Six members of the High School Choir —Jean Cramer, Marilyn Williams, Bill Sunderland, Bob Never- gall, Lloyd Miller, and Jim Kite were members of the All-State Chorus which sang under the direction of Dr. Peter Wilhousky, a very noted conductor, at the National Music Educators Conference in Cleveland. Freshman Chorus The Freshman Chorus was organized this year since such a large number of students enrolled in vocal music (over one hundred). This group of singers has worked very hard striving for better tone quality, blend and balance, correct harmonization, and intonation. The Freshman Chorus has made a fine showing, having taken part in the Christmas Concert, sung for the Freshman Assembly, and assisted in presenting the operetta Jerry of Jericho Road.” There are many fine voices in this group. Their experience this year should enable them to be more capable members of the Senior Choir next year.

Concert Band The 62 piece concert band had one of its busiest seasons in many years. Twilight concerts were given throughout the summer at Memorial Stadium to capacity audiences. Over fourteen hundred tickets were sold for the two performances of the annual Spring Concert on March 21-22. The instrumental soloists and ensembles formed from the band personnel played on thirty-eight different occasions for organizational and social activities in St. Marys and vicinity. At this writing the band has three very important activities to look forward to. They will enter the West District Band Adjudication at Wittenberg College on April 27th, be host to over 500 musicians at Memorial on May 10th when the Western Ohio Band Festival Association comes to our city for its 14th Annual Festival, and the annual banquet on May 21st. The 70 members of the marching band pictured on the opposite page performed at all the football games, both at home and away. Forty-seven formations were presented during the season. Many fine comments were received on the work of the snappy music-makers, particularly their half-time shows on World War II and the Gay Nineties. Drum Major Lloyd Miller received quite a hand for his high step- ping and strutting ability at each of the games as he brought the band down the field. Other marching personnel include Majorettes Arbula King, Patricia Dieringer, Patty Stein, and Evelyn Click; flag twirl- ers Joan Baker and Rita Axe; color guards Tom Durnell and David Durnell. Richard Schilling is director of both the marching band and concert band.

Latin Club •‘NON SIBI SED OMNIBUS” The 1945-46 Latin Club started the year with twenty-five members, and during the first semes- ter two others, Ronald Cook and Bill Dustman, joined the group. You may tell a member of the Latin Club by a pin which he or she wears. On it is J. C. L. meaning Junior Classical League with which our Latin Club is affiliated. We have held meetings on the first and third Mondays of each month. In these meetings we discussed the business at hand, had reports which helped us to learn more about Roman life, and played Roman games. The Latin Club has its social life. too. At one meeting we had a scavenger hunt; at another, a hay ride and wiener roast. Then came what all of us had been waiting for all year—the Roman Banquet. We had served as slaves last year, and now it was our turn to be waited upon. We all dressed up in sheets (did we look silly!) and the Freshmen wore short tunics. The Freshmen gave the pro- gram, and we did the eating. More fun! During National Latin Week, March 11 to 15, we gave an assembly program, in which the varied musical and dramatic talents of the members were expressed. I'lie Latin Club had its annual Open House, and it was our turn to give the program. All parents and friends were invited. After the program, everyone went to Room 26 to see the ex- hibit. All the articles were made by the pupils studying Latin I and II. Our busy club also sponsored a movie, “The Last Days of Pompeii.” It was presented for the puplis who take Latin and also any other students who could come. Another activity for us was the sale of tickets for the Thespian play, “Where’s Laurie?” One of our members won first prize for selling the most tickets.

Its members were the forty students taking the Commercial Course for the second year. The Club continued throughout the 1945-46 school year by holding meetings semi-monthly. The Club’s purpose was the selling of worth-while ideas and products to the school and to the community. Club members spent many hours in selling tickets for the Fall Festival, the Junior Class Play, the Thespian Play, the Variety Show, and the Operetta. The annual magazine campaign was held as in past years. A list of businesses and industries of St. Marys was compiled for the Junior Civic Club of America. In all these projects the members gladly donated their serv- ices, welcoming the opportunity to practice the principles they were studying. The meetings and regular class periods stressed the importance of salesmanship, development of personality and business ethics. Practice talks in securing an interview and complete sales talks were given by the Club members. The main social events were a Halloween dance in the high school auditorium, and a Valen- tine dance at the Hi Spot. The members of the club and their advisor,Miss Mildred Frey, are proud of their record of accomplishments during the year.

This program is based primarily on the needs of the mem- bers and the community, of which the chapter is an important part. The formation of this program required much time, sincere effort and considerable guidance from our advisor. It constitutes the basis for the fundamental worthwhile accomplishments of the F. F. A. For convenience the program is divided into the following divisions: Supervised Farming Co-operation Community Service Leadership Earnings and Savings Conduct of Meetings Scholarship Recreation THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY THE EQUITY DAIRY STORE SUNDERLAND'S CLOVER FARM STORE [58] Student Council In September, four representatives from the freshman ami sophomore classes and six from the junior and senior classes were chosen to make up the Student Council of Memorial High School. The constitution for the organization includes the following purposes: Support athletic and promote musical activities; sponsor assembly programs; welcome and introduce new students to the Faculty and Student Body; promote greater interest in drives and campaigns; aid in pro- tection and care of school property; assist the Faculty in making school life more enjoyable. Much progress has been made by the Council this year. In November they sponsored a “Fall Festival” to secure money for an inter-communicating system which could not be secured this year because of the slowness of manufacturers in bringing out new models after the war. It is hoped that the equipment can be installed this summer. A new movie screen was bought for the audi- torium this spring. The Council also purchased sweatshirts and “T” shirts inscribed with the Memorial insignia which were sold to the students. In keeping with the school spirit many pep assemblies were sponsored by the Council.

At these meetings, members reviewed articles from the magazine “Dramatics,” and gave demonstrations concerning make-up. On November 8. 1945, the Troupe held an impressive candle light ceremony in the high school auditorium for the formal initiation of its new members. A large audience received well the three-act comedy, “Where’s Laurie?,” given by Thespians for the Community Institute, on February 12. Thespians took part in the Junior and Senior Class plays and in the operetta. At the annual banquet in May, which is sponsored by the junior members, the Troupe installed the 1940-47 officers and conducted the initiation service for five new members. With the money earned from the play. Troupe members authorized the purchase of a spot- light. a floodlight, and several extension cords. All of us were saddened by the loss of one of our charter members, Eileen Clifford, on De- cember 23. 1945. Eileen had been active and interested in dramatics since her entrance into high school.

This book may not seem so valuable to you now, but wait until you are fifty or sixty years old, and then tell someone that it doesn’t mean a thing to you. We, of the staff, know that when we look back at this book we will recall all the head- aches, broken pencils, bad typewriters and good times we experienced in putting it out. We wish to thank Mr. Puderbaugh for his help, Mr. Buss of The Leader Printing Company, Mr. Montague of the Fort Wayne Engraving Company, the faculty, and all the organizations of the school for their aid in making this book what it is.
