We take great pleasure in dedicating this annual to him for his fine work becausethrough this work and the help of the other members, our school has been led to pros- per. Also we hope that in the future our Board of Education will be justas successful, or even more successful than in the past.

She has been with us ever since and is known to all of us as Florence. She has been very helpful in the office and whenever anything is lost, Grayed! or stolen, Florence is the first to help recover it. She also makes out our absence slips and we have no doubt but that she has heard many a tall explanation about why w just had to miss school yesterday. Bob Finn, our janitor, has been pushing his broom up and down the aisles, emptying the waste baskets,almost°tl!o all the other things a poor janitor must do, for almost 1 ° years now. Whenever the students leave their rooms like the testing grounds for the atomic bomb, it is Bob who is always there with his trusty broom and dust cloth to straighten up the mess. He is one of the xirst on - j in the morning and one of the last to leave at night. We all thank him for his good work in keeping our school looking so neat. Leiand Snyder, our former janitor, is back at h. H. S. as our fireman after serving for some time in the kavy. ■ all missed our handy Lee and are very happy to have him workinghere again. Lae Is always on the alert for our com- fort and, thanks to him, we are able to study in warm, well ventilated rooms, no matter how low the temperature drops outside.

WITNESSES SIGNED CLASS PROPHECY While on our tour through the great metropolis of Meta- mora and its suburb, Toledo, we stopped at one of their most elaborate night clubs. We were led to our table by the head waiter, JA.MES RUSH. After having settled down into our air conditioned seats, we heard a great commotion. It so happened that the bus boy, HOWARD WOODWARD, had dropped a stock of dirty dishes right into the lap of the great musical star, RITA ETSEL. After everything was under control, our attention was focused on the huge stage. The orchostra leader, ROBERT FORD, stepped out into the spot light and announced the glamorous Grable-like dancer, WINIFRED GUNN, and her two beautiful red-headed partners, MARY ANN HERR and LOIS FEEBACK. All of a sudden tho music stopped. The gonial master of ceremonies, LYLE CARR, announced the presence of some of the most famous celebrities. The first lady President of the land, BETTIEANN KOS, and her fiance, JERRY HUDIK, took reserved seats. The Mayor of Berkoy, LAWRENCE DEWULF, and his secretary, DOMNA BUCKENMEYER, appeared in full array. The enchanting Powers Models, BEATRICE STEVENS and DONNA WELLS, arrived with their husbands to onjoy an evening of wholesome fun. The program was continued and RAYMOND BURGERMEISTER, NORRIS IFFLAND, end DUANE PIFER impersonated tho woll-known Throo Stooges with DALE RIES as sound-effects man. A.fter this comedy was comploted, our attention was drawn to the door again. CYRIL HUDIK and his one and only, EILEEN LOEFFLER, ontorod with WAYNE FARNSEL and his littlo woman, THERESA JACOB. We were surprised to find that they had been very successful in their line of business. The concluding number that night was o jitterbug dance in which MILDRED NYKODYM, MARETA SIMPSON, NATALIE DEVERHA, and KATHRYN SMITH were tho dancers. Aftor our enjoyable visit to Motamorr's night club and the plonsont chats wo had with our old friends, we returned to our daily routino of dull and uninteresting work. poe.is for the bombardiers Janes Rush James can be both studious and gay, He’s bubbling o’er with vim, And you con alvrays hear him 3ay— It wasn’t-----’tvvas him.

Ray Burgormeister Many a butch has Burger had To make him popular and follow tho fad, 3ut it takGS Honey Lou to make him sad, Whon sho's made to stay homo by a corn.'and of her Dad. Donna V olls Presidont W0II3 should be hor title. In hor work she is never idle. For the Senior C1q3s sho’s done swell. And Lamoino, hor beau, thinks just as well. Winifred Gunn Full of Fun could be hor name. For her laughtor sho wins fame. A mirror is hor old stand-by And hor hair is never soon to fly. Wcyno Famscl Call him Wayne or W. J. Wo won’t pick a fu3s. Because as his good iriends to 3tay It’s all tho some to us. POEMS FOR THE 30� . BAHDIERS Beatrice Stevens As a cheerleader from our class She's quite a popular and pretty lass, To study in school in her own plight Because she doesn't like to do it at night. Natalie DeVerna For her long black hair She is known. So even her best beau, Clare, Can't leave her alone. Kathryn Smith A cheerleader, who we'll all agroo Is pretty and quaint as she can be.

Mareta Simpson Mareta, whom we all like well With all her smiles and jokes, And Joe, her steady, thinks she's swell As well as all us folks. Jerry Hudik For his tallness he is known And his talent it is shown Ey playing baseball on the field. And at the bat he sure does yield. Howard Woodward All through school he's been a pest But at all sports he does his best So all his faults they are forgiven And all his friends he does enliven. Donna Buckenmeyer Maybe Donna will do it, we always hear When we are working on the Mirror And when we ask this, we never fear Because we know that she is near Dale Rios Many a conversation Dale has had With the teacher, about his work. But when it comes to trouble He's always there to shirk. Eileen Loeffler With all the girls she is their pal And with the boys the same. To prove this statement is the truth, They always ask her name. Robert Ford With his trumpet he wins great fame And many people say That he should join a band And not just leave it lay.

Our Junior rings came December 18. V.’e had waited very patiently for two months, but could wait no longer. Of course we think our rings are prettier than any of the Junior rings have ever been. They have solid backs and quite a bit of black on the front side. We are very much satisfied ovor the amount of money we collected from our Junior play. It was approximately one hundred dollars. The name of our play was Bolts and Nuts. It was presented in tho auditorium, November 3Q at 0:30 p.m. The Juniors sponsored a dance Dccombor 14. Wo had a lot of fun making plans for it, but we didn't use any energy soiling tickets. Two cf tho Junior girls took a trip to California during the Christmas vacation. They told us of some of the famous places such as Boulder Dam, Grand Canyon, and others. We Juniors decided it was time to solcct our class colors, motto, and flower. They are as follows: Colors. ...............Rose and Silver Flower.................White Carnation Motto Tho past forever gone, tho future still our own. Wo think tho Seniors wore very much surprised and pleased with our banquet, which was Tuesday, May 21. Our scheme was South African Cannibal. Our colors were rod, whitq, and black. Wo decorated the auditorium with those. Wo had four huge cannibals in each corner of tho auditorium with tho building pots in front of thorn. Although this was a little unusual 3tylo, we hopo everyono enjoyed himself. Our monu consisted of hemoglobin, muscloburger, herbs, bonemoal, noctr.r, junglo greens, puffballs, booswax, kicka- poo juice, poi, toadstools. With tho help of Mrs. Phillips, tho Junior mothers, and some of tho Sophomores, we think our banquet turnod out for tho bost. -=- «Tumors FIRST ROW: Left to Right, Luella Cruzen, Honey Lou Jacob, Fern Ries, Rose Mary Gillen, Mrs. Phillips, Alberta Van- Coppenolle, Arloa Stutzman, Betty Stasa.

Lyle Carr HIGH POINTS OF THE BOYS ON THE VAPSITY Cyril Hudik............................. Long John Cyril, the captain of the team ond high scorer, was noted fir his ability under the basket. Very few teams were able to guard him when he moved in for a sucker shot. Being s senior he will be greatly missed on next year’s team. Raymond Herrick ............................. Luck Ray was the smallest man on the team but he didn't let that worry him. His specialty was a shot from the corner but when he couldn't get one of these away, ho would fake his guard oit of position and go in for a sucker shot, which he very seldom missed. Ray hcs two years of varsity ball ahead of him. John Zenk................................. Johnie John, the teamb center, hit his stride along toward the end of the season. He was high point man in the tournament; showing that ho could hit when the chips wore down. John hcs one more year to odd to his reputation. Malcolm Simon............................ • • . 'Mac This was Mac's first year of varsity ball and you can rest '.jsured it won't be his lost. Ho was the most spirited mem- ber of the team ond one of the best defensive men. Mac has one more season ahead of him. Howard Woodward..............................'Dave Dave was noted for his aggressiveness ond his ability to get points whon they were needed. He worked on the theory that teight isn't necessary to be o. good plr.yer and he proved his theory. Dave hcs ployed his lr st go.mo for old M. H. S. Lyle Corr......................................... Al Lyle wrs first substitute for the varsity ond played most of his gomes on the resorve team. Ho specialized on o one hand shot. Al will be lost by the graduation route. Edward King . Ed Ed was high point man lr the reserve toam gomos and will pro- bably bo playing on the varsity next year. He is a hard- working player with one more yocr. Richard Suchy ............................ Squoak Squeak improvod a lot this year and nextyoar will bo up there with the best of thorn. Ho is a good defensive man ond play maker. He has one more ye r to show his stuff.

FRORTFMA F'T0 ITFA?JS FAIR RLAV rest of us know from experience t'-’et it is not always easy to be a good loser or even a generous winner in the field of athletics or in any other competitive field. Yet, we must remember that if vie are going to be good Americans there are other things that we must put above winning. First of all we must learn to follow the rules of the game and any other rules set up by the coach or supervisor of cur activity. The individual who tries to win by cheating or any other kind of unfair play will soon lose his own self-respect and spoil the game for everyone else. vrln or lose, there isn’t any satisfaction as great as the satisfaction of knowing that we have done our best and played the game souare. If we strive to play for the fun of rlavina and for the success of our team, if we make an honest effort elwevs to � e a aood loser or a generous winner, in other words, If we rlve-s trv to he sportsmanlike in our play, we will reap large d-videos not only in our games but in t e more serious business earn- ing a living and accepting our share of the burden in a democracy.

Rose Higgins, an unwanted orphan in her uncle's home, longs for the glamorous life that her cousin, Alayne, leads as queen of the campus. She is thwarted in the fulfillment of her dreams by the overbearing attitude of her guardians and by the menial work she ha3 to do in the tea shop. She thinks she is in love with Ted Shannon, the conceited college football hero of the town, who dates her pretty cousin. One cf Rose's dearest friends is Bob Shannon, Ted's brother, who has had to sacrifice his ambition to be a song writer in order to put Ted through college. When Rose inherits a great deal of money, she and Bob overthrow the tyranny of their families and blossom forth into completely transiormed persons. They discover that they really love each other when Bob writes a song about Cinderella Rose and the play ends with the happy couple in each others' arms. Rose Higgins. . . Alayne Higgins. .

BAUD At the beginning of this year, Mrs. Zona Ham, of Wauseon, took over our band because there was no music instructor. We made a try at marching but did not get along very well. Mrs. Kam also ordered band letters for those who had been in the band a certain number of years. This had been desired by the band members for quite some time. On February 25, Mr. Jack Phillips, who had just been discharged from the Army, became the music teacher in the school. He has drilled us in marching also. Maybe it was the Army influence, but we certainly had better luck this time than before. In fact, we even began to enjoy it. There were thirty-six in the band this year. At the end of the year we had a few members from the Junior band enter the Senior band. There will be even more next year, as Mr. Phillips has given instructions'cnvarious' instruments to many pupils of the lower graces. On May 10, we had a music festival. The band played three selections entitled Sequoia Overture, Wynona, and Bay Shore March. Mr. Phillips worked very hard trying to get us into shape for this festival and we hope we didn't let him down. Officers for the year: President...................Theresa Jacob Vico President. ....... James Rush Secretary..............Donna Buckenmeyer Librarians................Eileen Loeffler Howard Woodward GLEE CLUBS Mr. Phillips was the director of our glee clubs and mixed chorus this year. We had rehearsals twice a week and spent most of the time practicing for the big music festival on May 10. V e had a repertoire of several songs, including such favorites as The Sells of St. Mary, Down South, and Nightfall. There was very good participation in the glee clubs this year with a membership of 70 in the Girls' Glee Club and 40 in the Boys' Glee Club. 'We all want to thank Mr. Phillips for hie patience with us and the effort ho put forth to make us good singers.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Our officers for the past year were as follows: President............ Robert Ford Vice President. ..... .Malcolm Simon Secretary. Cyril Hudik Treasurer..................Wayne Farnsel Reporter................Donald Dickerson Watchdog..................Kenneth Farnsel Advisor...............................Mr. Hathaway Our chapter consisted of thirty-two members who all worked very hard and were very co-operative during the past year. This year our F. F. A. organization proved to be very successful, not only in class but also in its participation in many activities throughout the county, such as the Parlia- mentary Procodure Contest at Delta, the annual officers’ meeting at Defiance, many of tho local and distant livestock sales, the Public Speaking Contest, and a Pest War which we conducted together with Lyons. Gene Leader, one of the very active Sophomores of the chapter, represented us in tho Public Speaking Contest at Delta, whore he won high recognition bocause his speech was greatly approved. Thoso who attended tho Parliamentary Procedure Contest wore os follows: Cyril Hudik Robort Rios Malcolm Simon Norris Iffland Ray Burgormoistor Dale Ries Duane Pifor Wayno Farnsel Lawronco DoY ulf Donald Dickerson Henry Vandenbusscho The F. F. A. has also sponsored sovoral parties this year. Last fall we had a hayrido in which quite a number participated. We all had fun--judging by the riotous accounts wo gave later. On March 6 wo rented tho Hilltop roller skating rink and had a school party thore. Somo of us still folt the offocts a wook later. We wish to thank our advisor, Mr. Hathaway, for tho pains ho has takon with us. Wo hope that he had as much fun this year as wo did. SOPHOMORE HOME ECONOMICS Y e sophomores aro very pleased with the results of our homo economics class of the past year. Much of our progress and success is due tc our guide, Mrs. Helen Phillips. This was her first year here, and we all have enjoyed her In- struction. Of course, everything didn't turn cut perfect the first time, butwc have learned and profited by our mistakes. Instead of two grades in cnc heme economics class the freshmen had their separate class the first twe periods of the afternoon and the sophomores the last two periods cf the afternoon. In the past our cooking and sewing classes both took place in the kitchen. Nov; v e have furnished a room on the second floor near the office, and we find it much more pleesant for sewing because it has more light. The foods classes have continued in the kitchen and we have more room without the sewing machines. Our sewing course included working with silk and wool. For child development we sponsored a nursery school in which we had thirteen pre-school children. Our foods included the serving of dinners. As a special oroject we entertained the seniors at a tea. As guests for our dinner we had freshman girls and high school teachers. At the close of school we had a style show with the freshman girls displacing the dresses made in class. A medal was given to the v inner. FRESHMAN HOME ECONOMICS All of the freshman girls participated in home economics, we started our foods course by preparing breakfast. Each group served the other groups and then served the teachers. We then cooked lunch following the same procedure as we did with the breakfast. The last six weeks of the semester we made miniature bedrooms which were ver”’ neat and looke com- fortable. The second semester we made baby books and several of them aregfoing to be exhibited at t e fair. Then v e sewed, making undergarments, snort clothes, and dresses. T e girls that were in this course v e re Telen Albring, T'argaret Baker, Ruth Ann Bettinger, Agnes Blaine, Helen Eisel, Marv Della Pies, Kathryn Langenderfer, Mary VJapshall, Patsy McComb, ary Ann Patek, Katherine Riesz, and Lorraine Tredway. During this year both home economics classes helped pre- pare and serve the food for the Sports Banquet, the Teachers Banquet, the Firemen’s Banquet, and the Alumni Banquet. e have had a lot of fun and hope the future home economics students will enjoy this class as much as we have.

AESEKT: Rose Mary Gillen, Alberta VanCoppenolle GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Ihe Girls' Athletic Association was established in M. H. S. this year for the first time. Our first meeting was held September 21, 1945. Officers were elected, commit- tees appointed, and a program for the year outlined. The G. A. A. is an organization for the purpose of de- veloping companionship among the girls of the school, of cre- ating an opportunity to participate in athletics, and of improving the sportsmanship of the group. Awards of a letter were given at the end of the year ac- cording to the number of points earned. Points were deter- mined through attendance and participation at the intramural games, selling pop, etc. at basketball games, and working at the Sports' Banquet. We had four seasons during the y.ear—a soccer season, a basketball season, a volley-ball season, and a softball season. Points were given for participation in these sports. After each season, a tournament was held and the losing teams had to give a party for the rest. The organization was financed by dues and sales at bas- ketball games. A constitution was drawn up and rules for membership enumerated. Various activities of the G. A. A. this year have been the rough and formal initiations of the Freshmen, a weiner roast, the Soccer Party,play days at Delta and hero, a girls' game at the Alumni basketball game, the Sports' Banquet, and selling refreshments at games. We were also allowed to use a school bus to go to basketball games away from home. We thank Mrs. Phillips very much for her hard work in organizing this fino G. A. A. of fifty-sovon members, and wo sincerely hope that she enjoyed it as much as we did.

COMMUNITY NIGET Shh, Bobby, look at the pretty girls, What's ho do- ing, Mommic, I want to go up thorc, too, --this is what was heard at the Community Night which was sponsored by tho Senior Class on April 26. The main ovent of the evening was tho announcement of the winnors in the baby contost which the Seniors held from April 12-26. Most of thu twenty-six contestants, aged from one to four yGars wore thcro and were naturally very curious about what was going on. Each grade, from ono through twelve, gave a skit or stunt for tho entortainmont of the evening. Several of the highlights were a tumbling act by tho Junior girls and the onactment of Casey at the Eat by the Junior boys, a toy band by the second grade, a Mav-polc danco by tho third and fourth grades, and a radio skit, It Pay3 to bo Ignorant, by the Soniors. After tho vory onjoyablc program, tho principals in tho baby contest wero brought up to the stago and tho winnors were announced by Lylo Carr, the master of ceremonies. Elaine Simon took first place; Barbara Welch, second; end Lennis Kreuz, third. Each winner was presented with an attractive gift. IIo admission was charged, but a collection was taken up to cover expenses, and the remainder was used to help finance the Senior trip. PLAY DAYS In October, the G. A. A, girls traveled to Delta for a play day with Delta's G. A. A. organization. We made mixed teams of Delta and Metamora girls and played several games of soccer. We decided it would be fun to play a game between the two G. A. A.'s and are proud fe. report that K. K. S. beat Delta by the score of 6 to 0. On April 24, the Delta girls came to M.II.S. for another play day, iiach girl registered and was given the number of her team. There were eight teams and each team participated In volley balx, pateka, challenges, and relays. The teams weru given points for each game and tho team with the most points was the winner of the clay dav. After the games, hot dogs and pop were served. Lveryone had a good time, even though some of the girls wore still plenty stiff the next woek.

H. S. on the night of January 25. In case you are wondering what this is all about, it was the night the Seniors sponsored a magic show featuring Arlan and Armillis. They presented a very enjoyable, and at times, mystifying, evening of entertainment. High points of the evening were the presentation of an honest-to-goodness, real, live, white bunny to a Senior girl for her assistance in one of Arlan'3 acts, and the distribu- tion among the audience of red roses which he had grown on an artificial bush. DECLAMATION CONTEST The Prince of Peace Declamation Contest, which was sponsored by the Ohio Council of Churches, took place in November at the local church. The contestants were Theresa Jacob, Marilyn Loar, and Robert Hayden,placing in that order. The winner, Theresa, received a bronze medal. Theresa then went to Delta where she took part in the county contest along with five other contestants. They rep- resented Swanton, Delta, Fulton, Lyons, and Wauseon. Al- though the competition was severe, our representative again won first place, with Duane Lau, from Fulton, placing second. She received a silver medal this time. She v as then sentto thiEastninister Presbyterian Church in Toledo to compete in the district contest. There were thirteen districts represented hero. Competition was ex- tremely close and Theresa was unable to overcome it. «e in the community were very pleased that she had done so well and wore proud to have her represent us in this contest. The title of Theresa's speech was Johnny Come Early by Erma Jean Williams. MAGAZINE PARTY In November, the Senior and Junior high school held a magazine drive in order to make money for the purchase of a moving picture projector and a new scoreboard. Each class was given a goal to reach in their sale of magazines and the three losing grades, 9, 10, and 11, had to give the three winners a party. The 7th grade placed first, with grudos 8 and 12 next, placing in that order. On April 5, all six grades, the faculty, and the judges gathered in the auditorium for an evening of fun and frolic. The Magazine Party was off in full swing with everyone dressed in his best Daisy Mae and 'Lil Abner fashion--even the teach- ers. There were numerous contests, including such things as the dress-making contest in which a boy from each class made a newspaper dress for a girl from his class, the pie-eating contest, the proposal contest, and the littlest and biggest feet contests. Points were given in each contest and the class with the most points at the end of the evening was the winner. The Freshmon led with a total of 81 points. Each class had a class song, yell, and stunt, we dis- covered that many of the students were very talented along this line--who knows—maybe one of us is a future stage star ! After the stunts and contests, refreshments 'were served by the losers in the magazine drive. Everyone had a wondorful tire, and we’re sure that this school could stand a party (or even two) like this every year. MUSIC FESTIVAL On May 10, the glee clubs, the band, and other music or- ganizations of the school presented thGir annual music festi- val. A good crowd gathered to hear a very fine program ably directed by the music instructor, Mr. Phillips, We’re sure everyone enjoyed seeing and hearing what wo have been doing in our music classes this year and wc hope that we lived up to Mr. Phillips’ fondest expectations. SENIOR DAY Thursday, May 9, was a red-letter day for the Seniors. On this memorable day, the Retail Merchants of Toledo took the Seniors of several high schools on a tour of the Art Museum, to the Crystal Room of the Commodore Perry Hotel for a sumptuous luncheon and interesting movie and talks, and, finally, to WSPD for a program. It was cortainly a new ex- perience for many of U3, but no one complained, Vvo unani- mously gave a vote of thanks to the RotailMerchants Associa- tion for bestowing this unexpected honor upon us and v o hopo they will bo able to make this an annual event.
