Mendon Union High School - Clipper Yearbook (Mendon, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1970 volume:

HE 8TEER8 THE HELM GARY W. MILLS, Superintendent The Mendon-Union Pirates have sailed into another port - the end of a school year and a decade. I have been your captain for only a year, but have thoroughly enjoyed piloting such a fine crew. We leave behind memories of rough waters, calm winds, and treasures of friendship. Our cargo has always been the minds of young Americans who take with them depths of knowledge and valuable experiences. Some of us will want to dock our ship here and settle down; while others will sail on to a new port, or see what lies over the horizon. Whatever, this ship has carried you far, taken you on a journey of growing up -a tour you can never repeat. She has mothered you, encouraged you, and opened your hearts and minds to learning. When time fades these memories, and it is difficult to recall a name or face, open your ship's log, the 1970 CLIPPER, and recapture the memories of Mendon-Union School days.

This spring a new system for electing members was adopted. After much consultation and revision, a new point system was established. The National Honor Society tapped two sophomores, Bob Willrath and Bob Masser, and two juniors, Steve Fought and Scott Garwick. Also, the one-year-members were pinned.

CLIPPER STAFF Since planning and layout takes time and organization, the Clipper Staff spends the second and fourth Mondays after school working to complete the yearbook. This spring the staff bought its own camera and has enjoyed taking pictures of students, classes, and activities. To pay for the camera, students sold chocolate candy bars. Pride in the final production waits until the fall delivery. ROW 1: Lynn Barber, Brenda Sigler, DeDe Dudgeon. Lucinda Barber. Donna Dudgeon, Joy Fox, Nancy McCune, Mrs. Maurer.

The girls have visited and entertained the children at the Cheryl Ann School, and also have made useful articles to present to patients at Convalescent Homes, and have sponsored a red, white and blue day to promote Patriotism. To buy a new sewing machine, the members sold licenses permitting girls to wear slacks for a day. One of the most successful school dances. The Sadie Hawkins Dance, was also sponsored by the FHA.

The year began by participating in band contests at both the Mercer County Fair and the Van Wert County Fair and then expanding to the Bluffton Street Fair and the Bradford Pumpkin Festival. In addition, the band had a successful concert season; the annual Christmas concert and the Spring Concert were highlights of the school calendar. But the greatest and best news release was the No. I rating received at the C-2 District Band Contest.

The majorettes are looking forward to another summer of marching and of attending majorette camp. PEP BAND ENTERTAINS SPORT CROWD i The Pep Band's first performance was the bonfire where they led the spirit club and boosters in a march through town.
