Another chance to choose the way Which leaves a brilliant wake. The way beyond is rugged As the way before has oeen. But you possess the courage To walk forth and not rive in. Perhaps a glimpse into the globe Of future's trials and tears Would bring to some a stubborness; To others sobs and fears. In years long past you did not stop Wi en trouble barred the way, Nor hesitate, nor flounder Midst the trials of the day. Hold high your head so thoughtful And shoulders firm and true. Hold steady those so slender hands And level eyes of blue. For you have only just begun To broaden with the world. Experience was just a v.'ord-- IIow into it you're hurled. The road thus far was sheltered With guides for every turn. And when to darkness you would come A faithful light would burn. Ah yes, to be a leader Took time and patience too. And now to think you must begin Once more, to sec it through. But now you'll clutch your treasure Worth tine and work it took. And look back to the favorite halls. The favorite class, the book. But don't forget while looking bac And looking forward too. That someone saw you through the ole And watches o'er the new. Keep Rod, my senior graduates. Close to you all the way. And give Him reason to be there And reafeon still to stay. JUNIOR NEWS At the first meeting of the Junior Class the officers for the year were elected President ........ ..........Marilyn Loar Vice President .......Donald Buckenmeyer Secretary ...........................Pius Gillen Treasurer ....... .....i.......Joan Carr Reporter .Janet Pifer The Junior Class ordered their rings at the beginning of the school year and received them near Thanksgiving. The Juniors liked their rings very well with the yellow, white and rose gold settings. On November 1, the Juniors put on a class play entitled, One Mad Night. The various members of the cast and Mrs. Champion really had a few mad nights before it was all over with. The Juniors were proud to report that they had a huge crowd and the play was a tremendous success. Many of the Juniors entered the scholarship tests and some of the grades were fairly high. Quite a few Juniors had poems they had written themselves accepted to be printed in the Anthology of High School Poetry. The Junior Class contributed the many mombors of the Mirror staff for the coming year and put out the April and May issues this year. When the school party for the magazine contest was put on, the Juniors were third in the number of subscriptions sold and second in the party race finals. The Senior Class had only one more point. Planning the Junior and Senior Banquet and prom, rais- ing money for support, and getting the decorations, etc. ready was a big job. The Juniors only hope everyone enjoyed the final result of their efforts. mors FIRST ROW: Donna Bearss, Betty Gleckler, Marietta Knight, Joan Carr, Betty Berk, Joyce Sporleder, Caro- line Hintz, Mrs. Phillips, Rosemary Schneider, Janet Pifer, Shirley Smallman, Regina Herr, Beatrice Baker, Mary Kane.

SOI HGMORE NEWS We selected the following officers to lead us through this year. President.............Mary Y apshall Vice President . . . .Patsy McComb Secretary.............Kathryn Langenderfer Treasurer.............Lorraine Tredv ay Reporter..............Joyce Smith The Sophomores took an active part in the magazine drive, but evidently did not do so good. Y e ended up on the short end of the deal and had to help put on a party at the end of the year. Y e hope everyone at the party had as good a time at it as we did planning it. It was a real success. Vfe were very proud to have two of our boys playing on the varisity team. They were John Kartell and Joseph Nykodym. Part time players from the Sophomore class were Edward Cam- bal, Bruce Loar, and Robert Gillen. On the second team we had Robert Hayden and George Knight. We were very well rep- resented on the teams this year, don’t you agree? We all were there cheering for them, but we think Peggy Baker did the most cheering as she was our representative on the choer- leading squad. You did well, Feggy. Miss Stewart has been our class advisor and she surely has put forth a lot of effort to keep us all straight Thanks a lot. Miss Steward; we do appreciate it. FRESHMAN NEWS The second week In September the freshman class met in Room 13 to elect their officers. They are as follows: President ............ Laura Lou Champion Vice-president...........Lawrence Lulfs Secretary .................. Shirley Loar Treasurer ....................Lois Hassen Reporter.................Lora Belle Weis Advisor ................. Miss Nachtrieb On September 20 twenty-six freshmen came to school all ready for anything that might happen on Initiation Day. Nothing much happened that day. The seniors decided to wait until evening to give us the real initiation. I think that we were all very glad when initiation was over. Ten of the freshman boys were on the Junior High Basket- ' ball team and one freshman girl was a Junior High Cheerleader. One freshman boy was on the baseball team. • On October 26 the freshman class held a Hallowe'en party in the, home of Lors Belle Weis. We all enjoyed play- ing games and then for refreshments we had a weiner roast. There were 13 members present at the Hallowe’en party. On December 20 we met in Room 13 to exchange gifts for our Christmas party. We all hope to be sophomores next year. We also hope that we will have as much fun as we did this year.

It was given in the auditorium Friday, December 20, The name of our play was Red and the Christmas Whopper, The leading part of Red was played by Jimmy Tripp, At the conclusion of the play we gave Mrs. Rush her Christmas gift, a very pretty vase and flowers.

Alice Suchy and Marilyn Welch Sixth Grade % r. - BASKETBALL GAMES Chesterfield, There- The Tigers opened the 1946-47 season with a bang by journeying to Chesterfield. The Cornets were the Junior High Champs in 1944; however, that didn’t mean anything to the Tigers as they rallied and put on the steam in the second half to win by a 42-25 margin. Stutzman was high point man with 18 points. Monclova, There- The boys were now out for their second victory and they traveled to Monclova. The Tigers got off to a bad start due to the small floor and low ceiling. However, they did manage a five-point lead when tne gun sounded for the end of the game. The score was 34-29. Stutzman racked up lo points for the Tigers. Alumni, Here- Tni3 was a game the boys were out after as it is very seldom that a high school squad comes away with a victory from their alumni friends. However, superior height on the Alumni squad meant the margin of victory. The score was 33-19. Fayette, Here- Fayette came here with the fastest team in the league and the team was out to show them that they were just as good and they succeeded too. Fayette would be ahead and then Metamora would and this is the way the scoring was up until the last four minutes of play when the boys really turned on the steam and made a well- earned 45-31 victory of it. Stutzman again had a good night and netted 24 points. Lyons, There- The old traditional rival was the next foe for the Tigers on the Lions' court. Lyons was yet to y in a game this season and they still remained the same as the boys poured on the steam the last quarter and were the victors 34-25. Herrick was the top point getter wi th 14. Monclova, Here- This was a return game v ith the Tigers win- ning the first tilt by 5 points on their small floor. This game they were out after by a big score. However, it seemed there must have been a screen over the bucket as they would go in and come out; however, we did manage another 6 point victory 25-19. Stutzman was high point man with 10. Chesterfield, Here- This was the first league game and a sad one at that. The Tigers just couldn't hit the first half and as a result were too far behind to win when they did start to rally, the score being 35-32. Stutz- man garnered 11 points. Whitehouse, Here- This wa3 a new team added to the schedule this season and they came here determined to win and this they did by 1 point, the score reading 25-24. Fail- ure on the part of the boys to connect with very easy shots cost them what should have been an easy victory, Stutzman connected for 11 markers. Swanton, There- Another popular rival played host to the 1?iger3 with a much taller and faster team. The boys were out for a win here but couldn't succeed. After a close first half the boys fell short in the seeoni and succumbed to a 28-19 defeat. Herrick connected for 10 points. Failure to connect with free throv s meant de- feat . Holland, There- This was another one of those tough ones to lose especially by 2 points, 27-25. The boys had been in a slump and just couldn't seem to get out of it as the underdog Holland team showed class and skill under the bucket, Herrick connected for 16 points. Fulton. Here- The red and white boys from AI came here de- termineci to upset the locals but the boys turned the tables and broke into the win column with a 54-23 vic- tory. Sylvania. Here- Sylvania, a class A school, was the first game for the boys in the new year. They came here ex- pecting an easy victory because of the fact they were to have one of the best team.3 in the class A area. They did go away with a victory but not until they kept their first five men in the whole game. However, the last couple of minutes, due to some of the boys fouling out, they did pull away to a 40-33 victory. Herrick made 6 field goals and 2 fouls for 14 points. Archbold. hero- The Bluestreaks” from Archbold were the next visitors and provided plenty of opposition or should I say too much as the boy3 weren't on the ball at all and were on the short end of a 29-13 score. Stutzman and Z.enk shared scoring honors with 5 points each while Stuchey garnered 11 for Archbold. Swanton. Here- The Swanton 3ulldogs, an old rival, cane here to play a return game with the Tigers. It started out on even terns just as the first contest did, but the boys just couldn't keep the pace up and fell short by 17 points. 47-30. Zenk held the scoring with 10 points. DeltaT There- The boys were now on the road again as they journeyed to Delta to play the Fanthers. The same old second half jinx again beat them ae no one could go ahead of the other the first half but ir. the second half as usual the Tigers ran out of steam and fell 3hort by 9 points, 43-34. Herrick tipped in 10 points to load the Tigers. Pettl3ville. There- The home boys were on the way to Fett- isville to meet the up and coning Blackbirds. This was a league game and the boys were out after it and they succeeded also as they played the brand of ball they should have been playing. The score was 39-25 with Stutzman making 16 points to help them along. h'hitehouse. There- This was another return game. As you re- call, they eked out a 1 point decision the first game; however, this game they improved on the Tigers and gained a three-point margin to be the victors 30-27. Stutzman totaled 12 points to lead the locals. rnltor.f Then.-- This, also a return game, finally meant a victory for , ietamora, as the Raiders were completely outclassed by a superior Tiger team. !!any fouls were called on both teams with six players leaving the game as a result. However, the local reserves were much better than Fulton's, which meant the margin of victory. Herrick, Lenk, and Stutzman shared the scoring honors. Lyons. Here- The first meeting with Lyons was a very easy victory. However, this tie a much improved and better ball handling tear, provided plenty of opposition. How- ever, the boys did manage a two-point decision when the final, buzzer sounded. Merrick led the Tigers with 12 points. Fayette; There- This, a roturn game and the last rare of the season, made the boys have lots of enthusiasm with which to go into the tournament. However, a much small- er floor turned the tricks for the bey3 and they were on the short end of a 35-31 score. Herrick was again the main cog with 5 points.

Metamora drew Lyons, its old rival, for its first game. The boys had beaten the Lions twice this season but they weren’t to be denied be- cause they had a very scrappy outfit. The game started very slow with the boys unable to connect. The score at the half was tied at 8 all. The second half Mr. Pifer must have given the boys a pep talk because they started to click and were on the long end of a 28-24 score. Simon was high point man with 8 points. After winning the first game the Tigers advanced to the quarter finals and were to meet Swanton, a tournament favor- ite. This, like the last game, got off to a slow start with Swanton leading at the half 16-10. The boys still had the fight the second half. However, they were only able to ad- vance 1 point on Swanton to make the score read 36-31. Stutzman led the Tigers with 9 points. This loss to Swanton, however, didn’t eliminate the locals and they now-were to meet Archbold, The Bluestreaks always were the jinx to the Tigers and they still hadn’t broken it as Metamora was on the short end of a 31-22 count. Zenk led the Tigers with 8 points. This was the last game for four seniors in high school basketball--Stutzman, a forward, Zenk, a center, and Simon and Suchy, guards.

OUR VARSITY TEAM Maynard Stutzraan ...... .............. , Maynard Maynard, the captain of our team and a forward, will be missed considerably next year as his ability to use his height under the basket netted him many points. He is a senior and was high point man this season. Ray Herrick.................................... Ray Ray, the only junior on the first five, was the second high- est scorer on the team, and his ability ' to put the ball v here it belongs should mean a great deal to the team next year. John Zenk............................... . Johnnie John, the center and our tallest man on the squad, is a senior and will be missed considerably under the basket, be- cause he took many rebounds off the backboard and turned them into buckets. Malcolm Simon.................................. Mac Mac, the right guard, will be missed next year as he is a pretty good defensive man and because of his ability to work the ball through the defense. Mac is a senior. Richard Suchy ............................. Squeak Squeak, the other guard and likewise a senior on the team, will also be missed. His ability on defense was also an im- portant factor. Joe Nykodym ................................... Joe Joe, the sixth man and main substitute, is a sophomore and the prospects he showed this year should make him a great link in next year's varsity. John Hartell............................... Johnnie John is also a sophomore and has seen considerable amounts of action. He will be a great asset to the team next year as his height and shooting ability should be very valuable. Robert Gerten ....................... ..... . Bob Bob, a junior, is the second string center and. saw much ac- tion as the result of personal fouls on the varsity. His height, along with a good hook shot, should put him in the higher category. Pius Gillen................................ Bones This was Pius's first year of basketball and he lived up to expectations. Although he saw limited action, he was a good man to have around in the pinches. He is a junior and a forward. Edward Cambal................................. Ed Ed, another sophomore, saw very little varsity action, as he was on the team for only a few games. However, next year if he improves as he has in the past, he should be a valuable asset.

It was a three act farce. Three young college men, Herbert, Elmer, and Tommy, buy a summer hotel on notes. Business is not picking up. i’ne notes come due and Mr. Bates, the landlord, wants his roone . The three stall him off until the next day. Herbert writes up a story about a famous dancer by the name of Eve St. Regis stopping at his hotel and that there is a hidden treasure there. It is also a haven for ghosts. Customers start flocking in. Then Tommy receives a telegram that his cousin, Eve St. Regis, isn't able to come, Elmer and Herbert have decided to dress up Tommy to look like Eve St. Regis. He is to flirt with all the men but only on one condition and that is that Herbert vamp the women. They agree to it, Julie Mather, who is engaged to Herbert, and her Aunt Ketura Katt, come to the hotel. Miss Katt is looking for the hidden treasure. In the meantime Tommy has been playing up to the men, who seem to enjoy it. Ghosts have been seen by many of the guests and they have decided to leave the haunted hotel before they are murdered. Herbert doesn't want to lo3e his customers and so he tells them that it was all a joke and explains the situation. Julie forgives him for flirting. There is a picture of the old miser, who was said to have hidden his money some place on the premises, hanging on the wall. Julie tells Herb to take the old thing down. He does and on the back of the picture is hidden $10,000. This saves the boys from losing the hotel.

The story was about one crazy, wild night, Don Cutter, a play- wright, accompanied by Wing, his proverb-quoting Chinese valet, goes to the Cutter mansion, a lonely house in the hills, to complete his latest play in peace and quiet. The house has been deserted for years, a series of mysterious murders having given it the reputation of being haunted. Imagine Don’s astonishment when he finds the house tenanted by a number of very strange people, including John Alden, Priscilla, Mr. Hyde, and Lady Macbeth. They are lunatics, under the care of Dr. Bunn, whose home burned down. Among the inmates is Lucille, a beautiful girl in distress. Like a hero, Don is just about to rescue her when his fiancee and her mother appear with their maid. Everything happens, including talking ghosts to an es capod murderer fleeing for his life. Don succeeds in rescu ing the lovely Lucille and they plan to be married.

HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics girls met for the first time October 2, 1946. They elected officers as follows: President ........ Beatrice Baker Vice President...........Katherine Riesz Secretary................Marietta Knight News Reporter............Mary Ann Marvin Once a month the club meets to discuss business matters and to spend an evening together and enjoy good entertain- ment and refreshments. My Personal Appearance, Boy Meets Girl--Good Man- ners, A Girl and Her Family, The House Beautiful,' and The Baby and His Surroundings are some of the subjects discussed at the meetings. During the noon hours, the girls sold ice cream, milk, potato chips, and pop corn. With the money they have saved from the profits, they have added a new Sunbeam Electric Mix Master and a new Sunbeam Electric Iron to the Home Economics department. The girls have served dinners, luncheons, and break- fasts, learned to bake cakes, pies, and bread, and learned to prepare different meats. Many of the girls made complete outfits, including un- derclothing. There were suits, coats, dresses, jumpers, formals, and play clothing. All of the girls enjoyed making these articles. In the way of furnishing houses, the girls made little houses and furnished them. Thfe houses included every room in a house. The girls were asked to serve for the Firemen’s Banquet and the Alumni Banquet. They did this very well from the compliments heard from the people.

There is one question the Seniors want to ask. Teachers, are the Seniors really a3 bad as you thought? Se niors Initiate STYLE SHOWS One of the highlights of the year for the new club was the style show. The girls worked during the entire unit building up to the climax of displaying garments in the Easter Parade. The freshmen made active sports garments: shorts, slacks, and sun dresses. The sophomores worked with rayon and wool. The eleventh and twelfth grades made complete out- fits including coats and some accessories. Five girls from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades made very lovely formals. The first style show was given for the mothers of the rirls. It beran with a play in which Rosemary Schneider played the part of Cinderella, Mary Ann Jlarvin was the good fairy, and Regina Herr was the harsh stepmother. Miss Isa- belle Stanton lightly played Easter Parade and Alice Blue Gown to add the right touch as girls gracefully and proudly displayed their accomplishments. After the style show, tea was served to the mothers. The senior home economics girls served it very nicely. Dainty, attractive sandwiches and cookies were served also. The girls were then asked to give the style show for the Junior Women's Club. This performance excelled the first, and they were given refreshments to com- plete the evening. The Home Economics Department was so large that many pictures had to be taken to give everyone a chance to dis- play their ability. One group held the model houses, which had been decorated by the third year class. In these houses the girls planned the color schemes, made furniture, drap- eries, etc. This i3 something to look forward to by the first year clas3 who made only bedrooms, and the second year class who made kitchens. Another picture was taken of a group in the kitchen to represent foods. They were sorry they did not have their new set of dishes to display at the time. The final picture was taken of a selected group of colorful garments, to represent the style show. They only wish they had had a color film to u3e. The last day of school they will complete the year with a final style show. This will be given for the whole high school. A medal will be presented to the girl whose outfit is judged to be the best. MAGAZINE PARTY On May 11, the six upper grades assembled at 7:30 for their second magazine and Sadie Hawkins -Party combined. Each person came dressed as some Dog-patch character. There were some very clever costumes. To start the party with a bang, Mr. Pifer shot his gun, which had blank cartridges in it. Then each class was judged on their appearance as Dog-patch characters. Many contests were then held between classes. The egg race, the three-legged race, and the sack race had everyone laughing. The contest of a boy making a paper dress on a girl was very interesting, and there are some good boy de- signers, as we found • out. Who had the smallest and largest feet among the girls and among the boys caused some excite- ment. Some of the results were very close. Also, the pro- posal was interesting. Some girls even proposed to the boys. Everyone agrees that Mary Wapshallwill some day get her man. Each class presented a class stunt, a class yell, and a class song. There were some very original ideas brought forth, especially in the songs. Last of all, there was a tug of war between the classes. The senior girls out pulled the other classes; the junior boys out-tugged the other boys. There is really a lot of strength among those boys. Refreshments were served by the three losers of the Magazine Contest. They were the seventh grade, the sopho- mores, and the freshmen. Refreshments consisted of pop, ice cream bars, and pop-corn. They were enjoyed by everyone. Then came the event everyone v as anxiously waiting for-- the drawing for the Philco radio. Each person's name was put in a box for as many subscriptions as he or she sold. Susann Schmitz won the radio. The results of all the contests were: first--Seniors with 73 points; second--Juniors with 72 points; third--Sopho- mores with 66 points; fourth--Junior High with 61 points; and fifth--Freshmen with 44 points. Everyone certainly en- joyed himself and would like more of these parties.
