Their feel- ing of civic responsibility impells them to give many hours of their time each year to business of the school. Boards of Education are charged by their state to determine v hat is to be the policy of the school in matters of scholarship, characters training, ath- letics and to experiment with the new in education. They, like the directors of a bank or corporation are layman. They pool their judgment as to what is the best general program for their community as they know that community. Then they employ administrators and teachers who have been professionally trained in the details of how to carry out the program and give them the support they must have to succeed. It is the policy of our Board of Education to provide a type of training and oxpcricnce that will meet the varied interests of our pupils. This is made possible partly by bringing in tuition students enough to merit the hiring of two more high school teachers than could be justified for the limited en- rollment of our own district. This year they installed Vocational Agriculture in cooperation with the State and Federal Vocational Agriculture Departments to meet the neous of our future farmers. It is their policy to provide 3afe and health- ful transportation for' all who live some distance from school as you can readily understand by observ- ing our buses. These men need your encouragement by way of friendly word of appreciation. They will also wel- come your constructive suggestions for improvement of tho job they are trying to do for you.

CLASS PROPHECY Jean stretched herself and spoke, I would like to know what will happen to the Seniors since they are out of school.” Let's go to Madame Zora, the fortune teller. Maybe she could tell us. All rightJ Get your hat, exclaimed Jean. Madame Zora, can you tell us what will happen to the Senior Class in years to come? Yes, my girls, I believe I can. Looking in my crystal ball, I see the year of 1945. Irene Fike has led in all that she has attempted. As the wife of a farmer, she has made many new friends. Far out on the ocean is Dean Mohr. He has dedicated his life to science, and he is making a hermit of him- self. He says that women make a fool of him and his life's work. He and Walter Churchill discovered a new sleeping powder in 1938, and Walter tried it out in school and at homo. They also gave it to Margaret Iffland. She was awakened by the kiss of redheaded farmer last year, and they live hapDily on a farm now. A radio broadcasting station has come into the crystal. It is the Star Reporter program. Virginia Schouor is tho heed of the Star Reporter newspaper. She is the sponsor of this program. Stanley Ottgen is tho announcer, be is still tho dapper young man of high school days. He has announced tho first guest of tho evening. It is Darroll Watkins, tho great radio lover. During Darrell's interview, he states that ho owes all of his success to his most severo critic, Marilyn Lathrop. Marilyn is his wife, too.' Stanley is an- . nouncing tho next guost of the evening. It is the great ballet dancer, Viola Pifer. She is still tho prim old maid of yesteryears. She also gives an exhibition of her latest ballot number. Gerald Hoff is their orchestra loader, and ho leads them in tho old hit tune Alexander's Ragtime Band as Alvetta Sharpe, their swingstress, sings. Alvetta is cs «Ihubby as Kato Smith. Gerald comos up to give his version of a song from the operetta hit, Lovo Pirates of Hawaii. Gerald also tried to write jokes, but he was not very successful. The Two Musketeers, Mary Lechner and Joseohine Sedlacek, are sitting in the front row. They have tried ta write plays, but nobody seemed to like them. They have finally turned their talent toward script writing. Now Stanley is announcing the freckles champion, Margaret Drennan. She won a freckle contest and she is going to Hollywood as soon as possible. She intends to become a second Deanna Durbin. They were both born under the same star, Sagittarius. Marilouise Thompson is going to accom- pany her to California. She is training for the 1948 Olympics. Her desire is to become the champion diver of tho world. The scene has changed from the Star Reporter program to a street scene. Regina Bettinger is seen walking very rapidly toward her home. She is a busy and successful secretary. Marjorie Myers is another successful business woman. Marjorie, Regina, and Etta Louise Carter are roommates. Etta Louise is an intelligent history teacher. Those girls have changed a lot since they left school. Now a ship is coming into the scene. It is sailing on the high seas. John Simon is on his first voyage as a sailor, and he did not feel so well; but after a while he will get used to it. He will become a very respectable first mate. Franklin Pifer, his old friend, is on board. Franklin is a teacher in mathematics. This is his vacation time, s« he is going to travel in Europe. Shirley Olman is the ship's nurse. She seems to have plenty of time to talk to the sailors, but she is still a good nurse. In the ship's beauty salon is one of your old friends, Mildred Knisel. She seems to get plenty of customers. She is tho manicurist. She likes her work very well. She hopes to have a beauty parlor of her own in Paris in the near future. Walking down the streets of Paris is John M. Rice. All of the girls seem to turn and look at him a second time. He has broken more hearts than you can count. He is a salesman for an American shipping oompany. He will gradually advance in im- portance and finally marry the president's daughter. Eldin Irwin also works in Paris. He is a fashion designer. Some of his creations are known the w rld over. He buys clothes for another American company too. His star, Aquarius, is the symbol of his life. He has a balanced mind and can grasp a new idea quickly; that must be why he is successful. Viola Sallows is a patient secretary. Her star, Leo, edicts that she will be a whole-hearted worker and have a lot of concentration. Another hard worker is Robert Loar. He and his wife, Noreen Irwin, have become famous for their truck farm. They sell their products to several markets, and they sell some to a hotel. Donald Hendricks is the chef at the hotel, and he never has prepared a poor dish yet. Even the famous home economics teacher. Miss Stewart, has commended him! Eileen fileckler is a famous stage actress. People rank her next to Helen Hayes. Ruth Murbach is her maid. Ruth also plays small roles in some of Eileen's plays. Eileen intends to go to Hollywood to play in several movies. Vera Mossing is in Hollywood already. She was a secretary at first,-but she finally got a job as an actress. She is one of the highest paid act- resses in Hollywood now. She has organized an orchestra of her own, and they tour the country. Myrtle Snyder is a hula-hula dancer in a New York night club. She often plays her own accompaniment on the guitar.” Madam Zora, the Seniors have something to be proud of. Just think of how famous some of the students will be in time to come. Yes, they do have something to be proud of, and that is the freedom and education that they had in their high school, M. H. S.

THREn STARS HAVE GUIDED THE SENIORS In 1926 twenty-seven innocent, young pupils started out on a journey that was scheduled to extend over a period of twelve years. The route which this group choose to travel was the rough, old road to Success. As they looked ahead at that narrow, winding path, they saw, on the horizon be- fore them, a tiny twinkling star. This star represented Junior High, and it was the goal toward which these new travelers were destined to work. Of the twenty-seven students who started out together on this crusaue toward a star, only eight were able to complete the entire twelve years. They are as follows: Virginia Scheuer, Alvetta Sharpe, iiarilouise Thompson, Stanley Ottgen, Gerald Hoff, V.alter Churchill, Dean Mohr, and Viola Pifer. Two other students, Korcen Irwin and Eileen Gleckler, also started on the journey at the beginning, but they only traveled v ith the original group a few years, and then they left to follow other orbits. Koreen stayed four years and Eileen seven. At the beginning of the second year the travelers met Donald Hendricks along the way. He traveled with them throughout that year and then he likewise departed to ex- periment with a different path. Eldln Irwin journeyed with the nev; explorers during their third and fourth years of exploring, then he left them in order to investigate a new by-way. Etta Louise Carter also joined tho crew at the beginning of their third year os traveling, but they lost her too during the seventh year of their journey. Franklin Pifer found the young in- vestigators when they were beginning their fourth year of Investigating, and Shirley Olman joined thorn tho following year. Both of those studonts stayed with the group through- out the remainder of the trip. Mary Lechner and John Simon enlisted with this inex- perienced army at the beginning of the sixth year of their march. Mary traveled with the army to the end of tho way, but John left them at the close of the seventh year to be- come a member of another regiment. At this time in tho nevi adventure, th - travelers reach- ed the star which had seemed so far away to thon m the be- ginning. Having attained this goal, the adventurers felt that they had accomplished someth ng, end rIso fulfilled one of their aims. As thoy paused by this star named Jun- ior High two new friends, Darrel Watkins and Margaret Dronnan, joined them to trpvcl with them during tho sovonth year. They stayed with them until the end of tho road. Once again these bold adventurers faced a continuous stretch of the bumpy road to Success, and again they saw a twinkling star in the distance. It v;as not as far away as the first one had been so the travelers vowed that they would reach it within two years. This new star was very fascinating and by merely flancing at it, one could see plainly the promise of many interesting experiences. This star shone very brightly and it constantly beckoned the travelers toward it. At the end of two pars they had reached it, and they found that its name was Hxgh School. After reaching High School, the group was ready to begin its ninth year of traveling. Again they saw the light of a star before' them to guide them during the next four years. They know not what this star was named but they were deter- mined to find out. At the beginning of this year, nine new adventurers were admitted to the group. They were Josephine Sedlacek, Ilyrtle Snyder, Viola Sallows, Ruth Uurbach, Vera Mossing, nildred Knisel, Marilyn Lathrop, Irene Pike, and Margaret iffland. At this turn in the road, some of the crusaders who had left the group earlier in the journey also Joined again. They were Donald Hendricks, Etta Louise Carter, and Eileen Gleckler. During th3 next three years when the travelers were near- ing the end of their first tour in Life, seven more explor- ers became members of the march. Eldin and Korean irwin met them again during the tenth year, and Hugh Hcffron, who had been a member from the beginning, resigned that same year to continue his tour by another route. Robert Loar, who had never traveled with the group before, mado friends with them and lalso joined them that year. When the tenth year had slipped away and it was time for the eleventh years' of the journey, Regina Bettinger and Marjorie Myers wore taken into the company. John Simon also turned from his former route and traveled with tho crusades that year. Once again the travelers wore approaching thoir third star. During the twelfth year of their journey, John K. Ri«e joined the crowd, and he completed the crew that journeyed to the star of Graduation. Now this group is ready to face its fourth star- Success. Mav each student look forward to this star 011(1 let it; influence and guide him, for, after all, Success is the most important star of all. If we seek it with diligence, we will eventually succeed. £ V £ K S H J N J N In 1935 we inexperienced Freshmen gazed through our High School telescope at the long end complicated course that we were to travel during the next four years. Through this telescope wo saw stars that re- presented every phase of Life, end being a class both bold and adventurous, we orch aimed at a star that represented the goal toward which we would work dur- ing one stay on the planet I!. H. S. Some of us set our aims high so that wo would be able to stand our later in life and shine alone. Others of us set our airs Just a little lower so that some day we would be able to work with a group or shine with one of Life'3 Constellations. Regardless of where we placed our aims, through- out the last four years we have worked towerd our goal. Only a few of the class have dropped out (or provc-d to be Falling Stars. ) Kow--in 1939 we have reached the goal of Grad- uation, and v.e are ready to wander out into a vast area known as The Star Kingdom. In this Kingdom we hope to set oi’.r aims still higher, find the place that is best suited for us in this nev: adventure, shine just as brightly as we can and be Guiding Stars for those who 3turt to fall. To those wanderers whom v;e are leaving behind on the planet of K. H. S., v.c leave this message: Hitch your wagon to a star, Aim at goals above you. Keep ideal3 where e'er you are. Success will then refund you. CLASS SERMON May 21, 1939 High School Auditorium 8:15 P. M. Processional................ .Hi. h School Orchestra Grand March from ’’Aida1'-Verdi.

Class Colors: Blue and Gold Do you kr.ow--this book of horoscopes says that 1939 is lucky for everyone. Yes, the Juniors have been lucky. Three of us had lead- ing parts in the operetta. Our Junior play, Junior-Senior Ban- quet, and our class party surely went off well. Didn't we have fun at the party? There were just enough there to have fun. The cafeteria was decorated very nicely. Remember the craze for yo-yo's? The only thing that the book doesn't say is that there is sorrow mixed with the happiness. We lost our classmate, Wallace Rhinehart. We miss him a lot. I hope next year will be luckier in that respect.

Class ..lotto: Toil Conquers Everything Class Colors: Blue and Silver In the fall of '37 a group of thirty-eight scientists took a trip to Mars. They chose Clare Champion as their leader with Harold Hassen and Jack Farough to assist him and Miss Heavilin as advisor. They spent a year in faithful work. In the early part of the year we were initiated into the mysteries of the upper four. The following year we decided to visit Mercury. We were sorry to lose six of our friends, Martha and Francis Ricicia, Elizabeth and Mary Margaret Ries, Raymond Grew, Howard Scheuer, and Rolland Reister, but Helen 'Walter, Phyliss Kniffin and Jack Griffin took their place. This time we chose Violet Schroeder as our leader with Clifford Langenderfer and Arlene Nye to assist her, and Mr. Howell as advisor. We have now reached the half way point of our work, and let us hope that the two remaining years will be as successful.

This was written by the fourth and fifth grade after hearing a story. MR. POSSUM'S SICK SPELL From an old hollow tree In the dead of the night. Went old Mr. Possum For a chicken bite. He caught the chicken And started back; With the little white chicken Inside his pack. While walking along Toward the dell, He lost his footing And fell in the well. When he reached home, They put him to bed; And then to his home, The owl they led. He was told by Mr. Owl To drink herb tea, But Mr. Possum hated this. As it was plain to see. He found that chioken and dumplings Were just the thing for him-- So he feasted on chioken and dumplings Until he was well again. Fourth and Fifth Grades.

John made a good target in there on the pivot position and also proved a good shot. He has another yenr with the squad to show his art. John M. Rice— M. The boy with guarding sbility. Johm M. proved to be a guard of value to the quintet. This was his first and last year with the boys. Stanley Ottgen-- Ivan The long shot boy. Ivan's long shots always added to our score. Another regular that has seen his last year of High School competion pass by.. Robert Herrick-- Bob Little but mighty. Bob took advantage of every time the bell came into his territory to turn in points or make a good pass. He has two more years to reveal even groater heights. Clifford Langenderfer-- Cllff Our rebound man. Cliff has two more years to get the ball off the backboard and develop that one hand shot that was so hard for the opposi- tion to stop. Darrell WaLtkins--”Butch' The clever, tricky player. When the occasion called for a good all- around-sport, Darrell was on the job. He, like others, has finished his last year of high school basketball. Gerald Hoff— Louie Nothing is serious to him. Louie has seen his last year of basket- ball with the high school shoot by. With his unlimited speed he made himself a val- uable asset to the team. Bert Cartwright— Bert The game saver. Little needs to be sold about Bert because those two winning points in the tournament displayed his ability which he will keep up in the next two years. Clare Champlon-- Champ Needed--On Steak. A promising young player that has a good chance to help make a name for Motomorn in the next two years. VJalter Churchlll-- Walt Ready and willing. With plenty of pep and fight, Walter made a place for himself on the basketball floor, playing his last year with M. H. S. Harold Gillen— Gillen Let him shoot. Gillen has two more years to show his stuff with the boys that will make a name for Metarnora and themselves in the next two years. BASKETBALL '30-'39 Nov. 12 FAYETTE(there) The first game of our basketball com- petition for the year. Fayette used their height and playing ability to a good advantage and overshadowed us v ith a score of 31 to 12. Nov. 18 ARCHBOLD (here) The second game of the season and a victory wanted. But it didn't turn out in our favor. Archbold also used their height to stay above us and came out on top at the end, taking home a 25 to 18 victory. Nov. 20 HOLLAND(here) A rough and tumble game throughout. Holland brought a team here that had the determination to win or else. The final score of 25 to 16 showed the help of their determination. Dec. 2 PETTISVILLE(here) Pettisville came here with their big fellow and thoughts of taking sn easy victory from the black and orange. But it turned out that the big fellow wasn't so much of an advantage to them. However, they won the game 30 to 24. This was a tough game for the boys to lose. Dec. 9 FULTON(there) About time for a revenge after a four game losing streak but the Red Raiders weren't to be beaten that night. With the aid of a little poor playing on our part they enjoyed a 25 to 16 victory. Dec. 16 LYONS (there) Here was the time for a victory. The boys had in their mind to beat Lyons, a long rival, or die trying. (We didn't die) After our first team play- ed their first team most of the second team,game, we came back out on the floor to take the second victory from them that night. The winning score was 30 to 27. Jan. 6 CHESTERFIELD (there) Chesterfield got too many scor- ing shots against the boys who weren't up to par'. Ches- terfield took the lead and went to trounce us 26 to 14. Jan. 10 SWANTON(here) The 11 Bulldogs invaded our gym with a v ell rounded basketball team. They proved themselves to be superior by claiming a 48 to 22 victory. Jan. 13 DELTA(here) By changing their playing positions on the floor Delta threw our guarding off. They were lead- ing us by 9 points when the boys finally sorted out their men. We came bach to within 2 points of them when the final whistle blew. The score was 26 to 24. Jan. Jan. Jan. Feb. 20 PETTISVILLE (there) The worst defeat of the season. The six-foot five boy was just too much height for us. Pettisville took an early lead and eclipsed us 56 to 14. 27.FULTON (here) When they came here we were going to try to take a game from them since they hod beaten us the previous engagement. The game was a close one all the way through and at the final whistle the score was tied at 21. Fulton made the first basket in the overtime and was thereby declared the victor. 31 LYONS (here) Lyons came here with the idea of winning from the team that had beaten them earlier in the sea- son. This time they turned the tables and took a 21 to 19 victory from us. 10 CHESTERFIELD (here) We were determined to give the maroon and white more of a fight for it this time al- though we got beat 23 to 18. Because of the flu which was around Swanton and their be- ing at the head of the league, our game of Feb. 14 was forfeited to the Bulldogs. The Delta game of Feb. 17 was canceled because of the sickness.

JUNIOR CLASS CHAMPIONS 1 SENIOR HIGH TOURNAMENT .The annual basketball tournament was to be held in Wauseon February 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. It was postponed be- cause of sickness until February 24, 25, 27, March 1. We played our first game with Swanton on February 25, at noon. Swanton, the county champions, was hitting in good form and outclassed us by a wide margin. Our second game was played that night at 7 o'clock. Chesterfield was our opponett. The boys went on the floor with a determination to win. We took the lead at the first and held it until the final seconds of the game when the score was tied at 45. We won in an overtime by two foul shots. Since we had won over Chesterfield we now had to play Fayette on Monday at 1 o'clock. Good team work and our new system of defence gave us a victory over the high classed Fayette team. The score for this game was also a close one being 28 to 30. After this victory Metamora was on a higher level. The next contest for the squad was held on Monday night at 7;45. Archbold turned the tables on us and we lost a heart- breaker to them. Immediately after the last game on Wednesday night the following teams were presented with trophies and honors: Fulton------------------Sportsmanship Swanton-----------------Championship Pettisville-------------Runner-up Pettisville-------------Jr. Hi Champion The Jr. High did not have the regular tournament but had a tournament playoff. The 4 winning teams out of the nine, one had to play two games, went to Wauseon to play. The four Pettisville came out as the County Champs. Metamora was eliminated by Swanton by one point in a good game. Left to right BASEBALL Row III Row II: Row I: Left to Row III Row II: Row I: Leslie Stasa, Junior Garlick, John M.

It centers around an American girl who is at- tending the school, and her sweetheart who comes there to see her, disguised as a pirate. Much excitement is afforded by the fact that a real band of pirates come to complicate matters. The audience was very responsive and the cast was proud to hove given such a successful performance.

OPERETTA LOVE PIRATES OF HAWAII ORCHESTRA r METEOR STAFF The Meteor Staff began its work in the middle of the year. Its aim was to try to produce an annual superior to others. Our editor, Virginia, and her assistant, Vera, were able leaders. Dean and Eldin worked diligently to sell this book and to cover expenses. Our two senior reporters, Irene and Marilyn, took every senior into consideration and did their best in portray- ing each individual. Darrell put forth a record of every func- tion of the sporting side of our annual. Mariloulse scouted about collecting pictures and features to make her section ever more popular. Louisa turned back the clock on all activities which have made school life more interesting to each. Margaret illustrated our book. Lucile, Florence, Raymond, Rosemary and Alex were the reporters for their respective classes. Ruth brought us interesting news of the lower grades. Miss Cooper advised us through everything. MIRROR STAFF This year our newspaper staff decided to reflect faith- fully the life of the students. They did this in presenting the ''Mirror once every six weeks. This paper become quite popular with the students and the faculty. Each publication contained subjects interesting to all of us. In the feature section were poems and articles written by various students. Mr. Cannavan wrote an article to the students for each issue. Other popular features of the paper were its jokes, tell-tale on the stu- dents, and the contest in which the students voted on those per- sons who had outstanding ability and personality traits. We owe the success of this paper to the entire school body for lending its aid, but to the staff and advisor we give our deepest appreciation for presenting to us this miror of school life.

He discovers her sham but at the same time discovers that she has a heart ailment that might become serious. Only quietness and serene living will cure it. The problem is solved when Mary Marshall, a neighbor girl, comes down with scarlet fever in the Santry home. During the quaran- tine, the imprisoned family learn to amuse and wait upon them- selves. The outcome of Dr. Gray's frequent visits is that Olive changes her whole view of life and discovers her love for him when his car plunges over a cliff. She nurses him back to health. The other members of the family also develop a new pur- pose in life and Stephen and Anne find new happiness in the success of his experiment.
