It is thought that this was the third school in the county. The first school was built in Delta, and the second was situated in Chesterfield. In 1856 the first frame school building was built and it was abandoned in 1880. Later the fifty acres where C. A. Clark now lives were deeded to the Board of Education.In the year 1880 a two-story building was built, and this was con- demned by the state in 1900. Then a largo brick building was erected on the same site. In 1906, the two rooms were made into three, and in 1910 a brick structure was erected which served the purpose until 1932 when a thoroughly modern building boasting of one of the largest auditoriums in the county was erected. The new school, with rooms remodeled in the old, provides for farm shop, industrial art, laboratory science, home economics, as well as the regular class rooms. The glazed tile wall and taraza halls make a very attractive appearance. The frequent use made of the auditorium and cafeteria facilities indicate the value of the school plant to the community as a center in addition to its care of their children. The early school teachers received very little salary. The ladies were usually hired for $1 to JZ a week, and the winter terms were usually taught b men. The teachers usual- ly boarded around at the various families in the community. This rule was not changed until 1872. School books were very scarce. The three R's were the only subjects taught. The first teacher in Metamora School was John Clendenin. Other early teachers were: Frances Champion, I.'ary Trodw y Parker, J. 0. Allen, William Mercer, and G. V.'. Humphrey. The following have served as superintendents in the Metamora Public Schools: M. E. Mattern, Mr. Knowles, J. W. Reason, E. B. Oberlitner, C. A. Hudson, who quit to go to war, Charles Merrill, C. A. Hudson, Jesse Kinner, S.Perry Johnson, E. S. Roberson, C. C. Roberson, and P. D. Cannavan. BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to Right D. H. DeVerna, A. A. Barr.aby, A. S. IN. Tredway, H. E. Shaffer.

The economic and social world has been changing so rapidly that govern- ment and industry have not been able to keep up. This new order of things has made our old methods in education in- adequate. Much that we are teaching could be eliminated and much that we do not try to teach needs to be placed in our curriculum. In Metamora Schools we are trying slowly to so shape our program of studies and activities that they may help the individual pupil for a place in community life that will help him to get along with his fellows happily. More attention than formerly is being given to reading in the Elementary and Junior High Schools. In all grades practice is being afforded in conducting meetings and giving programs. Clubs and home room organizations afford oppor- tunity for social intercourse. The study of many occupations should help students make a wiser choice of their life work. With our motion picture equipment we are able to bring to our pupils many fine lessons In dramatic form that they would be denied otherwise. Our music program has been much enriched in the past few years by the addition of an electrical phonograph and a new series of music books. Much improvement has been made in the Industrial Arts,Home Economic, and Physical Education courses also. Metamora has a well equipped school plant and a well trained corps of teachers. Of the total cost of operating the school only 51$ is borne by the local property tax while 49$ comes from the state and is derived from the sales, cigarette, and liquid fuel taxes. This annual comes to you as the work of the Senior class and faculty with the hope that it may help you have a better understanding of your school. We thank you for subscribing, and I thank the staff and their advisor for the good work they have done. To the graduating class go our best wishes for success in winning your place in the world.

S. yA I, IV In September 1926 thirty frightened inexperienced ft seamen set sail for a bon voyage. Along the way some of 0 the members left for other ports until now we have only $ seven of the original crew. Those who are about to com- plete the entire trip of twelve years at Metamora are Albert Barnaby, lone Clark, Lnora Mason, Viola Heldt, Mary Ries, Hilda Fuhrcr, and Eldon Butler. Grace Wood- ring became a member of our group when we paused at the harbor of Third Grade . During the fourth year of travel Leon Carter was admitted to our list and in the fifth year Blanche Entenman joined us on our way. Our old boat v.as worn and weather-beaten so we found and purohased a new ship called Junior High . Our crew was somewhat smaller than it waP when v.e first began our voyage. During the second year on our ship, Junior High , we regained one of our members, Berniece Maiosh, who had left us earlier on our trip. James Suchy came the same year. Again we found a new ship this time named High School . It was a grand and glorious liner. We sent an S.O.S. for helpers and the following fellow-seamen an- swered that call: Lucene Betz, Junior Carr, Minnie Dick- erson, Sherwood Leader, Roger Russell, Evelyn Snyder, Charles Stutzman, John Stutzman, and Harold Waterbury, Thus we sailed our first year in the good ship High School . The next stop the following year we added two more sailors. They were Betty Soenichsen and Marian Thompson. On our visit to The Eleventh Grade , Rita Gerten, Robert Simon, Marian Measures, Theresa Gillen, Wilma Simon, Edward Sattler, James Franklin, and William Snyder came to help us on our way. This year Phyliss Fillinger, a former member of our crew, returned to her position after a two-year leave of absence. This brought the total of our crew to 33 members. Now our twelfth year of travel, learning, experi- ence, and enjoyment is nearly done. Once more we must embark. This time each msmber must be captain of his own ship, the ship of Life. May each of us steer our ship through the troubled unknown waters until we find the calm of success, peace, and happiness.

To my •Agheat surprise, I found the salesman to be Loon Carter. We '( chatted for a while, and then I strolled on to the boat. As the Captain, Albert Barnaby, yelled, All Aboard I I hurried to my stateroom to find my bags in perfect order. Then I scrolled on deck and noticed that we were moving. As I meandered around I saw Marian Thomocon with tv o small Pekingese dogs. After talking with her for a while, I was informed that she and Albert were planning to be married when the ship reached Honolulu. At noon I asked for my lunch to be served on deck and my speedy little waiter turned out to be Charles Stutzman. I smiled a greeting at him and thrust a tip into his hand. Then he told me that he had been serving ever since he appeared as a waitor in the Christmas Masque back in 1937. I did not relish my meal so well and when Charles returned for my tray, I askod him the name of the ship's cook and he informed me that it was my friend, Harold Watorbury, Then I did not wonder that I had found a mainspring from a watch in my dish of noodles, and when I told Charles of the in- cident, he informed me that Harold was still experimenting with the same watch that he had worked on when he was a Junior in M. H. S. In the afternoon I strolled below deck to the tennis court and there I found Minnie Dickerson and John Stutzman playing a set of tennis. The score was Love. I exchanged greetings with thorn and walked over to tho swimming pool just in time to 300 a graceful figure do a swan dive into the pool. When she camo back up to the surface of the water it proved to be none other than uilma Simon. I asked a by- stander why Wilma vas practicing so diligently. I was told that she was striving to be a champion swimmer. Longing to sec the mechanism of the ship, I went down to the control room. There seated on a bench experimenting with some chemicals was that old Einstein II, Junior Carr. I had supper with Junior and during the course of the meal I learned of all hi3 theories. f? - - : i 0s ' In the evening I went to the ballroom of the ship and as I entered the door the orchestra, led by James Franklin, ' was swinging a piece popular back in 1938, Nice Work If You Can Get It. The next number on the program was that famous blues singer, Hilda Fuhrer,who entertained us with an old favorite, Blue Moon. Over in one corner surrounded by a group of young men was the ever popular dancer, Betty Soenichsen, and the conversation seemed to be centered on which one of the gentlemen should have the next dance. At midnight I made my way to my stateroom and when I came upon deck, I found a beautiful moonlight scene. James Suchy was proclaiming his love for Berniece Malosh so I slipped quietly away and they were so absorbed in their own interests that they scarcely noticed me. The following morning I got up early expecting to see a beautiful sunrise, but to my great surprise, when I reached the prow of the ship, I found Eldon Butler racing around with lengthy strides and trying to catch his breath. I stopped him long enough to ask him if he was taking early morning exercises. When he finally caught his breath, he told me that he was training for the 1952 Olympics. On the other 3ide of the deck I found William Snyder standing near the rail, just the least bit sea-sick and when I asked him why he was on board he pointed to a pail of water and a mop that was sitting near by and explained to me that he was hired to scrub the deck. About the middle of the afternoon, while I was still out on deck, I chanced to see Phyliss Fillinger and ' Robert Simon strolling aimlessly along watching the huge waves splash up on the boat. I summoned them and they came over to visit with me. Bob told me that he had formed a big busi- ness corporation and Phyliss was his secretary. They were traveling to France to tako care of foreign affairs. Later I learned that Phyliss was planning to be More Than A Secretary. Shortly before noon on the second day of our voyage, the boat reached France and as the captain intended to stay in the country for a few days, I traveled inland to Paris. First of all, I stopped at a small cafe. The tiny, dark haired waitress that took my order appeared to be none other than Blanche Entcnman. She chatted merrily in French and informed mo that Mary Rics and Evelyn Snyder were also in Paris, so my next adventure was to look thorn up. I found them in an attractive little dress shop. Evelyn was the seamstress and Mary was the striking littlo model for the well-fitted drosses. ' Y After seeing the cheater 3harc of Paris, I returned to xt we made a c stopped just long the boat and v e loft France. Next v e made a ouiet,enjoyable ' trip down to Africa and there let Lnora Mason disembark for a life-time ' i • • - _________ The next few days we spent in just _ enough to a ---------- «• iw u. Hio-oj-iiio adventure of be- ing a missionary to the barbarians of the African jungles. ■ — „------- sailing, first dov n the a southern tip of South America, and then to the Hawaiian MIslands. Here everybody on the ship disembarked to witness the wedding of Albert and Marian, which took place shortly ✓ after we landed. The wedding ceremony was oerformed by the famous Hawaiian minister, Sherwood Loader. The old favorites 'I Love You Truly and Oh, Promise Me were sung by that (famous prima dona, Lucene Betz. I I had always longed to see a Hawaiian moonlight, so at night I strolled down to the sea. When I neared the shore I was aware that it was occupied so I hid behind a palm tree and witnessed the scene. There on the beach dressed in a grass skirt, I saw lone Clark strumming her guitar and singing to the ever-patient Roger Russell. When her song was completed lone then entertained Roger with a synopsis of the Hula-Hula dance. I was thankful for a palm tree to hide behind. About a week later we left the Islands. Albert and Marian were still waiting for their first fight and the rest of the passengers were perfectly contented. After sailing a few hours, I noticed that our ship was headed toward the coast of California. I asked the captain what the roason was. He told me that Rita Gcrton,Thcrosa Gillen, and Wilma Snyder woro going to disembark at California to remain in Hollywood. Having collected this information, I immediately set out in search of the throe girl3. When I found thorn they told, me that Rita was staying in Ilollyv ood to compete with Sonja Heinie on ice 3kates; Theresa was going to be anofchor Patsy Kelley and ilma longed to be Edna Mae Oliver s per 3onal maid. On our next stop in one of the border tovms in California,I visited a near-by theater. Up in front in gaily colored lights, I read that Marian Measures and Edward Sattler were starring in The 3ig Broadcast of 1950. From California we cruised back through the Panama Canal and along the Eastern Coast of the United States to New York.

Now as we are about to disembark, we look back with happy memories on all our activities -- whether they were in the classroom, athletic floor, or other activities. Again we are starting out -- this time on the sea of life. Our difficulties will be many, and we will profit by our experiences in Metomora High School. Our seeman- ship will be put to many a test and we will know that if we are to succeed we must row, not drift. To the future classes of Metamora High School, may you always remember the watchword of the Seniors of '38: Don’t Give Up the Ship! So now, SEAWARD HO! Ve leave you ship-shape. We are sea-worthy ready to take our place before the mast, and a. y? pilot our ship of life to the best of our ability. ____________________I SIGHTING LAND Class Motto: Not finished. Just begun. Class Colors: Scarlet and Silver President--------Eldin Irwin V. President-----Gerald Hoff bec.-Trcas.------Vera Mossing In 1935 a group of Freshmen joined the crew of M.H.S. On this day the group was strong enough for anything, but this particular feeling was not so strong on the eve of initiation. When this ordeal was over and the roll called it was found that no lives, were lost. The following year the ship's captain was Darrell Watkins. These budding sophies ere soon discovered as having talent and were soon members of glee clubs, band, basketball and baseball teams. Their junior year started off with a bang. Their dramatic skill was shown in the annual junior play, Spring Fever. Their skill as hosts was shown plainly when they treated the Seniors to a royal banquet. Now, anchors awcigh, until next year when we find these youngsters piloting the ship of high school through their final voyage. CRUISING MIDWAY Class Motto: Act well your part; there all honor lies.

The approval of Metamora High School was stamped upon them the night when they proved that they were as fine sailors as v e had ever seen. As they launched into their second year, they found that they must row, not drift, if they were to remain one of the crew. And now. Seaward Ho 1J For you, too, must weigh anchor for better shores.

When Metamora was behind, we could always depend on Stanley to sink one of his famous long shots. Next year will open up opportunities aplenty for this competent lad. John Rice— Johnnie Count on me at center. John supplied the Increased height which Metamora sorely needed. John will mean a great deal to the team next year, Albert Darnaby— Al A dribble—a shot—two points. This year Metamora will lose one of its most valuable players. Al has always been one of Metamora's main scorers and his speod made him a nan to be avoided by our opponents. We could always depend on him to come through in a pinch. Darrell Watkins-- Watkins Wanted: A girl on the sidelines 1 Because of his floor work, accurate passing, trick plays, and speed Darrell was a constant threat to the opposition. Another year will reveal even greater accomplishments for him. Junior Carr— Einstein Just give me a basketball and a place to aim it; I'll do the rest. Junior's ability to sink baskets proved to be a valuable asset to our teem. He gave enemies no free tickets and hindered their 3tyle. This is his last year. RESERVES Eldon 3utler-- Bus Give me basketball or give me death. Bus's ability to play basketball made him a regular man on the team. He has seen his last basketball season parade by. Gerald Hoff— Louie I'm at homo on a basketball floor. Gerald's powerhouse of energy made him a threat to the opposition. He still has one year in which to play for Metamora High. Robert Herrlck-- 3ob Always on.the job. Although this was Bob's first year on the floor, we are 3ure it will not be his last. In the three years to come Bob will make a name for himself and Metamora. Edward Sattler— Ed Just give him a chance. Although Ed wasn't in the line-up for several games, his presence there later was a groat help to the squad. This is his last year with the team. James Franklin— Jim A powerhouse of speed. Jim's ability to get in there and fight for the ball made him a valu- able asset. This year will sec another man lost because of gradua- tion. Harold Wotring— Mike Just watch my smoke. Mike's height enabled Metamora to get the ball many a time. Next year will find Mike on the line-up once more. THROUGH THE PORT HOLE Nov. Nov, Nov. Dec. Dec. Dec. Jan. Jan.

A tight defense was used by both teams resulting in a low scoring contest. The finish count. Alumni 17, High School 11. 30 Pettlsvllle (There) A one-sided battle through- out. Where's the step ladder? This is what our center asked when Pettisville's six--foot—four center began tossing the sphere through the loop. Pettisville 38, Metanora 17. 10 Fulton (Here) A three game losing streak. Time to win dominated the minds of the boys. The trick was turned and the boys enjoyed a 18 to 14 victory over the red raiders. 14 Holland (There) Zip] SwishJ Whiz ! This is how the ball went in this fast game. The boys began showing some real class, but could not stand the pace. Final score, 31 to 22 with Metamora on the short end. 17 Lyons (There) Metamora� s old rival] Lyons took an early lead and went on to trounce the black and orange by a score of 35 to 19. 7 Chesterfield (Here) Chesterfield remembered the drubbing they received from our team their first year of competition They managed to keep just a few points ahead and win by the score of 41 to 32. 11 Swanton (There) The roughest and fastest game of the season. The score of 50 to 33 showed Swanton to be the superior. 14 Delta (There) Delta is ahead! Metamora is ahead! Delta again takes the lead J And thus the battle raged. The game wasn't won until the final crack of the gun with Delta leading 25 to 24. Jan. 21 Pettlsyllle (Here) Pettisville held no sympathy when they returned to Metamora to defeat the high school 30 to 18. Jan. 28 Fulton (There) Everything's even. Fulton put on a last minute rally to capture the honors with a 30 to 24 outcome. Feb. 1 Lyons ( Here) The worst defeat of the season for the home quintet. Poor guarding resulted in a 45- 21 setback. Feb. 11 Chesterfield (There) The losing streak remains unbroken. The stubborn Chesterfield five offered too much resistance in taking another good game by the score of 33 to 25. Feb. 15 Swanton (Here) In an attempt to gain the league lead, the bulldogs unleashed themselves and took a 50 to 28 victory. Feb. 18 Delta (Here) Let's win! The audience demands a victory. Swish! Metamora takes the lead. Delta takes the lead. Delta opened the throttle in the last quarter and tied the score at 23 all. ‘Again Metamora tallied to take the lead. Delta made a free throw. The timer eyed the clock. Hold that ball! was the captain's word. Metamora sinks a basket! All this excitement when Metamora squared things with Delta to the score of 25 to 24. This being the exact score of the other game. 4S- -� Mr. Swackhamer came to Metamora this year to assume the position as coach,which v as left vacant by the resigna- tion of Mr. Brandon. Before him was the task of pulling a losing team out of the rut. On looking back over the season's records, things look anything but good. Now let's go back over another year and compare the records. We are now convinced that this season wasn't so bad after all. A championship team can't bo formed over-night. Much praise should be given to 'Mr. Swackhamer whose time and patience has been spent in re- building the basketball team. SENIOR HIGH TOURNAMENT The annual basketball tournament was held in Wauseon February 23, 24, and 26. Our first game was in the evening of February 23. Pettisville was our opponent, and the boys entered the game with a fighting spirit. The score at the half was 18 to 11 v ith Metamora trailing. Pettlsville' s rangy center had accounted for 14 of their 18 points. The la3t half was an interesting battle until the final minutes when Pettlsville connected with a trio of long shots to take the game by a score of 30 to 18. As a result of the defeat our next contest was a conso- lation game with Fulton. The game got under way at twelve o'clock Saturday noon. The passing of the team was poor and the result was a 46 to 25 trouncing. This ended our partici- pation in the tournament. Immediately after the last game Saturday night the following teams were presented with trophies: Pettlsville-----------------------Championship Pettlsville----------------League Championship Fayette------------------------------Runner-Up Fayette---------------Junior High Championship Fulton-----------------------------Consolation Chesterfield---------------------Sportsmanship JUNIOR HIGH TOURNAMENT The Junior High tournament was played in two different locations. The schools in the eastern part of the county held their tournament in Del La,and those in the western part of the county played at Fayotte. Metamora was eliminated in a close game v ith Lyons by the score of 12 to 9, and Delta took the honors for the day. At Fayette the winner wa3 the Fayette five. These two teams, Delta and Fayette, clashed at Wauseon in the Saturday evening games. Delta outclassed Fayette and took the game by the score of 34 to 16.

BASEBALL TEAM - VARSITY CLUB BASEBALL Our fall baseball season was rather short. The schedule included five games. The first game was with Lyons on the local diamond. At the end of the sixth inning, Lyons led 7 to 1. Metanora rallied in the seventh to score three runs but Lyons' lead was too great and they took the game 7 to 4. The second game wao with Chesterfield. MOtamora was unable to check their strong batting power and ended up on the short end of c 4 to 1 count. Again Lyons furnished the opposition in the third game of the season. The game took place on their dia- mond. Lyons triumphed by another 7 to 4 score. The game attracting the most interest was the game with a group of local young men. The high school boys really turned on the power and scored a 18 to 2 victory. The memory of the last game still sticks in the minds of the players. The contest took place on the Chesterfield diamond on a cold October afternoon. The players hands were numb. At the end of the game the score was tied 4 to 4. This meant an extra inning that was scoreless. In the ninth Metamora batted the ball all over the lot for threo runs while Chestorficld collected one. Final score: 7 to 5, our favor. VARSITY CLUB President.......................James Franklin Vice President................Harold Waterbury Secretary and Treasurer.........Albert Barnaby The purpose of this club is to promote and encour- age athletics in the school. There are 2 kinds of mem- bers in the club, active and non-active. Those boys who have earned a school letter through varsity competition, either basket ball, base ball, track or any othtr school sport may be active members and only active mem- bers have a voice in the Club's activities. Those that haven't a letter can be honorary members of the club but aren't allowed a vote on specific matters. The high-light of the year occurred when various members of the club attended the Ohio--Michigan football game at Ann Arbor. The major project of the year under- taken by the club was the buying of new suits for the Varsity basketball squad.

Hiss Winsett, our director, is given the credit for giving us so much insight to music in these phases. The Girls Glee Club mect3 on Mondays; the Boys' Glee Club, on Tuesdays, and on Wednesdays the choruses meet in a joint session and work on special projects. This year the Girl3 Glee Club sang for the County Teachers meeting which was held in Metamora On December 23, 1937, the mixed chorus gave a masque entitled Ye Olde Christmas3e Masque in which, some members from the lover grades also participated. The setting was in England in Drudicial Times. Every- thing was included from the Eringing in the Yule Log to the presentation of the boar's head. On March 30, 1938, the Girls' Glee Club sang at the County Woman's Club. In the spring, the mixod chorus presonted a chapel program to the school, consisting of musical numbers from special choruses, trios, and quartets, both instru- mental and vocal.

Blanche Entenman .Virginia Scheuer Alvetta Sharpe lone Clark When we organized our club on September 26, 1937, we selected Terpsichore, who is the Greek goddess of song and dance, as the name of the club. The purpose of this club is to study how ancient music was first formed, how it ha3 changed in form, the composers of music, to increase our appreciation of music, and to give us experience in expressing ourselves musically. On December 12, 1937, the Terpsichore Club sponsor- ed a tea and concert in which many of the members par- ticipated. Mothers and friends of the members of the club were invited to the program. In the spring we selected an operetta The Nifty Shop which was directed by certain mombors of the club. All the members took part in the operetta itself. The club has forty-three members enrolled. Miss Olive Winsott is our advisor and has done much to furthor our knowledge of music. I ho would wish to travel on a 3hip unless there was an orchestra to make the hours pass more merrily? Eleven new musicians 3toppod aboard the Meteor in the fall of '37 to take the place of thoso who had departed and thus the ship's orchestra was increased to a membership of 24. Those 24 musicians worked diligently together and soon gained enough confidence to appear publicly. They have dono much to add to the success of the different P. T.

The Assistant editor corrects and rewrites the news and aids tne edi- tor in writing the editorials. The class editors collect bits of interesting facts concerning their respective classes and write them in an attractive manner. The joke and sports editors have charge of the material explained by their titles. The Staff Advisor, Miss Naomi Scheuer, supervises and adds any comments necessary to make the work successful. The group cooperatos in all of its duties, a factor v hich has made the work run smoothly. The staff find their tasks both interesting and educa- tional.

Vic and Ed mis- take Mr. Purcell, Anne’s millionaire father, for an artist's model Vic is expecting. They gag him and tie him to a hatrack, putting a smock on him, and for per- suasive power—a few of Vic's explosions. When finally released, Mr. Purcell in great fury withdraws his ox'fer to present a new science building to the College. Howard's Aunt Maude, who had put him through college, arrives unexpectedly. Learning of his zoology failure, she decides to help him by posing as a famous zoologist and thus meets Prof. Bean. The young people put on act to persuade Mr. Purcell to give the science building to the College on the condition that Howard is allowed to graduate. It works! Aunt Maude's plan is successful in more ways Ilian one. Howard gets his diploma and his girl, with paternal blessing.
