THE IVllRROR Roy Miller . . . Editor-In-Chief Charles Folk . . . Business Manager i9 9 PRESENTATION 1949 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the great California Gold rush. The theme of our “Mirror” this year is therefore a timely as well as an interest¬ ing one. We have attempted to parallel the search for education in high school with the quest for gold in the days of the “49ers”. We hope that you will enjoy our yearbook as much as we enjoyed presenting it to you. .I'V PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF Memorial High School ST.

BOARD OF EDUCATION We, the students at Memorial, wish to thank these men for their efforts for better schooling and higher education in the schools of St. Marys. Page 10 c Classes . . . The students of M. H. S. are searching for the golden treasure of knowledge. In the following pages you will find these pros¬ pectors and their accomplish¬ ments. Page 11 CLASS OFFICERS President . .

Wilma Scharree Senior Class Out of 122 students who entered Memorial as freshmen, 81 have reached the ultimate goal of all high school students. Graduation! During these four years, besides maintaining a high scholastic standard, our class has participated in many extra-curricular activities. Many of our members have been outstanding in the field of sports. A great number of our musicians have been active in the band, choir and the ensemble groups. The Thespian Club served as an outlet for many of those with acting ability. We were well repre¬ sented in the many other clubs and organizations open to the students, such as Y-Teens, “M” Club, Salesmanship Club, F. F. A., Scholarship Team, Future Teachers’ Club, Mirror Staff, and the Live Wire Staff. Thus another class has finished its high school career at Memorial. Perhaps we haven’t accomplished much that will go down in history, but we’ve been a good average class. These years will remain in our memories as four of the hap¬ piest ones of our lives.

JANE WISWASSER NANCY HALL MARY ALICE STEWART ALICE NOTT FRED MACKENBACH GLORIA HIRSCHFELD MARTHA ADAMS GEORGE CATTERLIN RETROSPECT Looking back over the years of high school, one finds it hard to believe that four years could have passed so quickly; that now it’s all over; and that we’ve slammed the last locker door and “sweated” over the last theme. We’ll never forget the days at Memorial, for they have comprised an impor¬ tant part of our lives. They have been the days of preparation for a lifetime ahead. I recall it was hot for September, but we didn’t mind the heat. We were walking down the halls of M. H. S. for the first time as freshmen and everything was new and strange. Some of us came with eagerness, some with apprehension, but all with the sense of sudden maturity — of being grown up — that comes with the new status of “high school kids.” It didn’t take long to make adjustments, and soon there was a sense of belonging, and the days sped by until lo-and-behold one fine m.orning we were sophomores. The sophomore year was possibly the happiest of our school lives, lor we enjoyed the excitement and novelty of each passing day without the timidity of freshmen nor yet burdened by the responsibilities and anxiety of upperclassmen. As we entered our junior year most of us had begun to “level off” to a noticeable extent. A more mature outlook had been adopted by most of us and a more serious attitude about school work became evident in the most of the classes. Unlike the unsteady step of freshmen or the happy bounce of sophomores we walked with a calm, more confident tread. At long last. Seniors! The ultimate goal as students! Our senior year was so filled with activity that in retrospect all one can recall is a whirlwind of suc¬ cessive events with graduation as the climax. Perhaps we haven’t been the most outstanding class ever to graduate from M. H. S., but we have been above average. The personalities and mentalities of our 81 members are as varied and interesting as any class ever in Memorial. There has been much earnest effort and consequent accomplishment by the class of “49”, but as all good things must end so must high school. We’ve had fun. They were four good years, characterized by the exciting, energetic, pace of youth. They have given us memories we’ll never grow tired of reflecting upon. And though some of us may never meet again, we will always be 81 people held together by an inimutable mutual bond — we graduated together.

Congratulations to Mary Holtz¬ hauer, Ruth White, and Betty Lynch for their splendid work. Our efforts were not confined to sports alone. We realized the value of edu¬ cation and worked to make ourselves known in that direction. As a result, a number of juniors were on the Scholarship Team, many of them making high scores on the tests. In November, the annual class play was presented. This year we gave “A Date With Judy,” to a packed house. After the play, several members of the cast were eligible for initiation into the Thespians. A few of these were also in the Thespian Play. The Class of ’50 was responsible for one very important issue concerning class rings. Instead of having a different style ring every year, we voted to have a standard class ring. When they arrived in March, we were certain we had not made a mistake. The reception was the climax of an eventful year. The juniors, as hosts, gave the seniors a glimpse of “Blue Heaven”, as a last reminder of Memorial. We came close to realizing our ambition. Next year, by using the knowledge If we gained this year, we hope to succeed fully. E L Page 24 I I i 1 t This year 79 students returned to the halls of Memorial with a new gleam in their eyes. Unperclassmen at last! We soon settled down, resolved to make our’s the best Junior Class in school history. We elected our officers soon after school started. At a class meeting, with the aid of our sponsors, Miss Frey, Miss Geiger, and Coach Barber, we chose the following people to lead us through the year; President . . . . . . Ronald Fite Vice-President . . . Harmon Dunathan Secretary . . . . . . Petie Springer Treasurer . . . . . . Beverly Burger Harry Stolte, Eddie Eberle, Jim Krogman, Wilda Dicke, Doris Chivington, and Betty Lynch were chosen to represent our class on the Student Council. We elected Don Beckett as assistant editor of the “Mirror”, and Chester Thompson as assistant business manager. These two will become editor and business manager in their senior year. The iuniors were active in almost every phase of school life. Many of our class members were in such organizations as band, choir, and Y-Teens. In the field of sports we were well represented, with special emphasis on the football team. Nine of our junior men were football players, doing their share to make the team a success.

Page 26 As the months passed by, many events took place. Three of our boys won let¬ ters for football. The band and choir, in which many sophmores participated, gave a concert at Christmas time. In January we sophmores took examinations, and passed these with flying colors. Many of our group were in the Latin Club and the Salesmanship Club. Several of our boys were in the F. F. A. One of our boys won a letter in basketball. In the spring, several of our members won places on the scholarship team. Now as we look back over sophomore year, we realize that we are just on the threshold of our education and are looking forward to our junior and senior years when we shall play an even greater role in school life.

Freshman Class We were, as we suppose, every other preceding class has been, virtually greenhorns, when we entered Memorial for the first time. Though we were truly “freshmen”, we had had enough experience to elect, with the help of our spon¬ sors, the officers for our class. They are the following: Page 28 President . . . . . Edward Raudabaugh Vice-President . . . Mary Jo Kuenzel Secretary . . . . . Leora Worthington Treasurer . . . James Miller Sponsors . Miss Orphal, Miss Slabaugh and Mr. Dennings We have begun to take an active part in the extra curricular activities and we are getting along very nicely.

Their only league loss was to Celina. Following are the league scores: St. Marys 6 — St. Marys 5 — St. Marys 16 — St. Marys 11 — 1948 tournament play semi-finals. Van Wert 3 Celina 7 Wapakoneta 3 Kenton 3 saw the Roughriders eliminated by Lima South in the Prospects lor a successful season in 1949 were, at the time of this writing, very encouraging.

These boys play an important part in Memorial’s athletic activity. They have played hard and practiced faithfully in their efforts to de¬ velop into top teams in both basketball and football. Some of these boys will be the stars of future year’s inter school competition. (Note due to an error a picture of the football reserves was not taken.)

MIRUOR STAFF Again the task of preparing the “Mirror” has been completed. We selected the theme of our book to honor and commemorate the heroism of the pioneers of 1849. After experiencing some difficulty in getting their plans into action, the staff members with the help of Mr. Van Cleve and Mr. Kohler have been able to publish a yearbook which they believe will become one of your most highly prized possessions. We of the Mirror staff wish to express our gratitude to the students, sponsors, and teachers for their co-operation in publishing the 1949 “Mirror”. Editor - . . . - . — - . - Roy Miller Asst.

Mr. Steva THE JOURNALIST On that bright September morning of ’48, eighteen enthusiastic amateur re¬ porters, carrying a pad and pencil, set off in search of news. Yes, we were re¬ porters. We had long heard and read that “news is where you find it”, so it was our duty to accept the challenge. After a summer’s vacation, we vigorously began our new assignments. Each journalist cheerfully carried out his task as new experiences were gained. Next to the students themselves. The Live Wire is the best advertisement of the school and the principles for which it stands. Through reading its pages each week, a reader can form an idea of the work done by the The Live Wire Staff, such as, collecting the news from assigned beats, writing the articles from their own points of view, and giving it to our copyreader for inspection. The typist then has the job of typing the articles which are corrected for the press. After the proof is out, the proofreader makes all necessary corrections. Although we worked hard to produce a good paper, we also devoted much of our time to the textbook and workbook. We were taught to get the news and to get it right without expressing our own opinions. The work throughout the year was thoroughly enjoyed by all the journalists, and through the pages of The Live Wire we hope you “treasure” in years to come all we have endeavored to portray to you, our parents and classmates, of an in¬ side glimpse of our school life and activity here at Memorial High School.

The Choir members have worked diligently and have enjoyed singing songs of great variety; sacred, classical, spirituals, novelties, and selections from light opera. They have acquired greater power in singing and perfecting songs and have learned to appreciate fine music. Many ensembles and soloists from the Choir were in great demand and have sung not only in the High School, but also for Churches and many other organ¬ izations within the community, in addition to regularly scheduled appearances on Armistice Day, sessions of the Community Institute, and High School assemblies. The Choir sponsored a concert given by the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, presenting their Young artist Concert Series, in the MHS Auditorium, October 12, 1948, to a large, appreciative audience. On December 21, 1948, the instrumental and vocal departments joined in giving a beautiful Christmas Concert. This highly successful year culminated in the presentation of the Annual Spring Concert, given April 8, 1949, in the High School Auditorium. For this lovely concert, the Choir members wore new robes, which added a touch of dig¬ nity and beauty to the presentation.

From the County Fair in August until the Memorial Day Parade, the band members were continually working for some program or special event. The 90 members of the marching band performed at all the home football games and traveled to Greenville and Kenton. Drum Major Dick Hudson re¬ ceived the applause of the fans for his strutting ability as he brought the band down the field. Due to the fine co-operation of band members at the extra night rehearsals, many picture formations, novelties and colored-light outlines were presented. The 80 piece concert band made its first appearance at the Christmas concert in December. This prog ram presented the combined vocal and instrumental groups in a concert of sacred and seasonal selections . On March 24-25 the concert band presented its eighth Spring Concert under the direction of Mr. Schilling. 1,387 persons heard the two programs and pro¬ claimed it one of the best ever given by the high school band. A full hour of the concert was broadcast over WONW, Defiance, on the afternoon of March 27. On April 9th the concert band journeyed to Springfield to participate in the West District Auditions. The three judges from Ohio State, Oberlin, and Bowling Green each gave the band the highest possible rating it could receive, a superior. At this writing the band is looking forward to playing in the State Finals at Columbus on May 14th. On May 13th our high school band was host to the 622 members of the Western Ohio High School Band Festival Association. Prof. William McBride of Ohio State University will be the guest conductor for the massed concert. Many of the ensembles organized from the band personnel presented pro¬ grams for the Rotary Club, Community Institute, church organizations, lodges and social activities in St. Marys and vicinity .Five of the ensembles and Jane Nic¬ odemus, flute soloist, participated in the West District Auditions on March 26th. The clarinet trio and clarinet quartet received superior ratings and will go to the State Ensembles Finals in Columbus on April 30th. The flute quartet, flue soloist, woodwind quintet and brass quartet each received an excellent rating for their fine performance. Joe Donnerberg served as president of the band during the year.

Memorial High School was granted a charter by the National Thespians Dra¬ matic Society on January 1, 1945, and since that time our troupe has endeavored to stimulate further interest in dramatics among the high school pupils. Each year we have a formal initiation ceremony which helps the pupils and teachers to learn more about our organization. This year seventeen juniors and seniors came in as new members at the ceremony in December. Regular meetings are held by the troupe to plan activities and to discuss the articles reviewed from the Dramatics magazine. This year the Thespians presented programs for two school assemblies and also a 3 act play, “Our Heart s Were Young and Gay,” for the public. Receipts from this play will be used for purchasing stage equipment. Since the Thespian Club is an honorary organization, the only social event is the Banquet given in May. At this time, the person deemed most worthy by vote of the troupe, is named “Best Thespian” and is awarded a Thespian letter. Honor Thespians, seniors with fifty points or more, receive honorable men¬ tion.

In the final District-State Test a student is permitted to take only one test. Students selected for this honor are those who have shown an interest in the subject by taking the Preliminary District-State Tests and by making special preparations through intensive study in the particular subject for which they were selected. The primary objective of this series of tests conducted annually at M. H. S. is the motivation of a larger number of students to greater interest in education and to more intensive application to their studies. The rank of the contestant and the record of his participation becomes an important item on the permanent rec¬ ord card as evidence of scholarship and achievement. Page 53 i i SALESMANSHIP CLUB The Salesmanship Club held its organization meeting on September 8, 1948, in Room 17. The newly organized group proposed to follow the aim of the club for the six previous years of its existence. They agreed to try to serve the school and community by selling worthwhile ideas, and to study modern selling trends. The club met twice a month. Interesting and informative reports were given on the importance of salesmanship to an individual, a community, and a nation. Success stories of outstanding salesmen were given. The value of personality, ways of developing it, and its importance in getting and keeping a job were em¬ phasized. in other reports. The principles of salesmanship which were studied throughout the year were put into practice when the club members served as ushers for the Thespian Play, on March 11. They also made a contribution to the Cap and Gown Fund. The social activities of the club were greatly enjoyed. A Halloween frolic at the Hi Spot was the high light of the fall season. A Christmas party was enjoyed at Memorial High School just before the holidays. A spring outing at Lake St. Marys Shelter House ended the year’s social activities. Officers who guided the club through the successful 1948-1949 school year were: President . Fred Fisher Vice-President . . Bill Wilges Secretary . Anna Hegemier Treasurer .

Joanne Hoselton Secretary . . . . . . Janet Sorgen Treasurer . . . . Wilda Dicke The student council is made up of representative students elected by the student body. It is a service group working with and through other organizations. Our practical aims have been; to support athletic activities, promote musical ac¬ tivities, sponsor assembly programs, welcome and introduce new students to the faculty and school, promote greater interest in drives and campaigns in the school, aid in the protection and care of school property, and assist the faculty in making school life more profitable. This year under the careful guidance of Mr. Hurley we have succeeded in paying part of the cost of the intercommunicating system, purchasing a glass en¬ closed bulletin board for the lower hall, providing mirrors for the restrooms, and buying records that can be played over the intercommunicating system for en¬ tertainment and school sponsored dances. We also have sold programs at the football games, sold basketball schedule pencils, sponsored dances, chosen reserve cheerleaders, helped select the standard M. H. S. class ring, operated concessions at the basketball games and sponsored assembly programs, some of which were John Dallavaux, who spoke on “Manners”; Dr. Cutshall, whose topic was, “Crime and Temperance”; Milkanth Chavre, who spoke to us about India; “The Wade Quartette”; “The Vagabond Trio”; and a “Blind Concert Program.” Janet Sorgen Page 55 LATIN CLUB “Non Sibi Sed Omnibus” President . . . Robert Hirschfeld Vice-President . . . Robert Cogan Secretary . . . . Jo Anne Davis Treasurer . . . . . Betty Broerman Under the able leadership of Miss Codington, seventeen members of the Lat¬ in Club started this school year. We held our meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month. During these meetings, we gave reports and playlets and enjoyed games that taught us much about the customs of the Romans. A member of the Latin Club may be recognized by the small silver pin which he or she wears. On the pin are the letters J. C. L., which stand for Junior Classical League with which the Latin Club is affiliated. The Junior Classical League is a national organization associated with the American Classical League. The Latin Club this year had, as is the custom, a Roman banquet. We wore togas or stolas and ate our banquet reclining on cots as the ancient Romans were wont to do. Our banquet was served to us by slaves, members of the fresh¬ man Latin class, who are looking forward to next year when they will have their turn at being Roman matrons and men. The high light of the year is the Latin Open House, because it was our op¬ portunity to show the public what we had learned about Roman customs, lan¬ guage, and life. We gave a program, to which our parents and other interested people were invited, and afterwards went to Room 12 where the projects we had made were exhibited. These projects informed the visitors further about ancient Rome and the Romans. It has been the custom for the Latin Club to present annual gifts to the Lat¬ in department. This year we bought a picture and books for our Latin Library. Jo Anne Davis FIRST ROW : Jo Anne Davis, Betty Broerman, Robert Hirschfeld, Robert Cogan.

The greater percent of the members gained admittance to the organization through football participation. Nineteen members have earned monograms in football, seven each in baseball and basketball and three as managers. Larry Dieringer is the leading monogram winner of the organization. He has collected three in baseball, two in basketball and two in football. Fred Mackenbach, who participated in only two inter-scholastic sports received the second highest number of “M” awards. Twelve of the members will graduate with the class of ’49, eight are juniors, and four are sophomores. The “M” Club selected Larry Dieringer to direct the organization as presi¬ dent; Fred Fisher as vice-president; and Ned England as treasurer. The club is sponsored by Coach Barber. Ned England, Sec.

' Y TEENS We, the Y-Teens of Memorial High School, started the year right by having a record membership of sixty-six. Our symbol is the combined blue triangle and elongated globe. The globe signifies a world organization and each side of the triangle represents one of the three phases: body, mind, and spirit. In accordance with our first phase, health, our club provided various social activities during the school term to balance our class work. These included an in¬ formal party in the fall which contrasted favorably with the impressive formal initiation held at the Baptist Church a few weeks earlier. At our Christmas par¬ ty we exchanged many lovely gifts. In the spring we entertained our mothers with a special tea. The junior and senior girls honored each other with a pot luck. The seniors were also treated to a breakfast as a farewell gesture. Relative to our second aim, mental stimulation, our regular meetings were enlivened with interesting, informative talks by local citizens and panel discus¬ sions conducted by the girls themselves. The topics concerned problems of inter¬ est to teenagers in the world of today. For spiritual growth we had devotions at each meeting. During Holy Week we sponsored services for the school each morning. These various activities helped us to develop a better understanding of ourselves, others and God. In the line of service, we used the money we received from football conces¬ sions and dues to buy gifts for a little orphan and to contribute to her support. OFFICERS President . Vice-President . .

A. is an organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture. The primary aim of this organization is the development of agricultural leader¬ ship, co-operation, and citizenship. Some of the purposes of the F. F. A. are: to develop competent agricultural leaders, to strengthen the confidence of farm boys and young men in themselves and their work, to encourage the development of individual farming programs, to promote the conservation of our soils, to en¬ courage the improvement of the farmstead, and to encourage many other worthy undertakings for improving agriculture. During the past year, the local chapter has participated in state judging con¬ tests, public speaking and parliamentary procedure contests, and recreation ac¬ tivities, such as hayrides and skating parties. The chapter sponsors an annual father and son banquet, which has as its purpose, the encouragement of better comradship between father and son.

FUTURE TEACHER'S CLUR Because of the shortage of teachers, the “Future Teachers’ Club” was organ¬ ized under the sponsorship of Mr. Hurley. The club had fifteen charter members. The officers were: President . . . . Alice Nott Vice-President . . . . . . . Mary Jo Suchland Secretary . . . . . Jane Nicodemus Treasurer . . . . Leora Worthington The goals of the club were “to unite the common interest, stimulate the am¬ bition to teach, promote the idea of teaching to others, foster a better understand¬ ing between students and faculty, and gain practical knowledge in the field.” The organization, besides adopting a constitution, sent some of the upper classmen visiting in the grade schools, furnished substitute teachers on occasion and affiliated with the state and national association. We feel that we have made a good beginning and in the future will grow to meet a very real need in our community and school life.
