Text from Pages 1 - 142 of the 1957 volume:

THEME Our years at Metamora have gone by very quickly. For four years, we have been waiting for first one thing and then another. Now, we have our rings, pictures, and allj We are no longer waiting for those little things. The big things are upon us. After graduation we will have to face the world. Some of us are preparedj others will go on to college—but still. We are leaving Metamora. Our years here will not be measured by answers from books. Nor will we remember it as a period of waiting time. We will only remember the memories of the many things we have done. Some will be mischievous pranks, others inspirational-such as graduation. In our METEOR we have tried to relive this, our last year at Metamora, through pictures. So with the finishing of the annual, We present to you—This Is Your School Life—as illustrated in the 1957 METEOR. DE DICATION To make a friend, you must be a friend. This certainty applies to Miss Ruth Nachtrieb, our commercial advisor, who is our very good friend. For our appreciation of her help, understand- ing ways, and' co-operation through the years, we, the Meteor staff of 1957, gratefully dedicate this Meteor. ALMA MATER FROM THE AIR OUR ALMA MATER Sweet be thy memory, High school of ours. Pair be thy destiny, fadeless thy flowers. Hearts that have loved thee; have won in life's fight. Names that we honor, our standard holds bright. Our Metamora, dear, to thee we sing. May all thy future years new honors bring. May friends thy banners raise, thy foes grow less. All love and praise to our old M. H. S. METEOR STAFF First Row: Kevin Kane, Nan Lathrop, Diane Duncan, Janet Woodward, Bonnie Doyle, Hal Fike.

I, Nan Lathrop, do will and bequeath my neatness to Susie Baker, Also, if you need any clothes, come over; and I will fix you up. We, the Senior Class, do hereby solemnly swear that the above statements are true and perfectly legal according to all the laws of state and nation. We hereby set our seal this twentieth day of May and appoint Miss Ruth Nachtrieb as our sole administra tor WITNESSES SENIOR PROPHECY Here it is 1970 and I decided to make a tour and find old classmates. As my accompanists I first located Sharon Good at the Metamora Hospital and Janet Woodward at Berkey Institute. They were able to leave their positions for this trip. We started out by going to Podunk to see the great wrestling match between Paralyzer Pat (Ruetz) weighirg4l2 pounds and Lanky Lowell (Woodring) weighing 112 pounds. The referee was none other than the great Buffalo Billy (Smith). We decided to leave when the two contenders started after the ref. Deanna (Weis), the announcer for Meta Products, soon took the spotlight. We then were driving down Gamsey Avenue when we saw the sign of Lollopop Lil featuring Helen. We just wondered if it couxd be our own little fan dancer of way back. As we entered, the owner, Duane Pinkelman took our tickets. The ushers, Donna Eisel and Hazel Stieb, were having quite a time seating everyone. When the show started, we discovered it was Helen Pifer, too. Well, the next performer was a famous ventriloquist , Nancy Bauer, and her dummy, John Steiner. After the show, we were driving along when we saw a blue Hudson go zooming by. As we pulled up by them at tne stoplight, we saw Kevin Kane and his wife Diane, the former Duncan. Louis Vrooman was the chauffeur. Then, much to our disappointment, our flying auto broke its left wing and we had to call for help. Well, there the help came, with Jack Benner as tower. So we arrived at the Laux Diesel Center and there Charlie Laux and Ronnie Gillen, who knew about trucks only, tried to repair our bird. Helping as secretary was Nan Lathrop and acting as gas boy was Hal Pike. Betty Ray was the grease monkey. We were on our was again when we saw Paul Barnatyand Robert Pike operating a self-planting potato planter. Lor- ayne Barnaby, formerly Stutzman, was acting as head cook for tne plantation. Janice Hallett was providing music as she flew overhead in a jet, playing her sax over a loud-speaker. Well, we have now ended our tour, but just a little secret between you and me, we didn't have to go very far; they all reside at ole Metamora. Now, I must get back to feeding little Bonnie.

It was directed by Mrs. H. A. Rush and Mr, Clark Reber. The play was a mystery-com- edy, taking place in Aunt Ethel's boarding house. Aunt Ethel threw Eenry out of her boarding house because he couldn’t pay his rent. His boss fired him, and his girl friend, Gladys, threw him overboard. He went to the park where he met Mr. Bump us. Henry gave Mr. Bumpus ail his money, $17,83, to have someone get him out of his misery. Mr, Bumpus told Henry that the man's name was Ernest, He said Henry wouldn't know when or where it would happen. Aunt Ethel's daughter Pumpkin and her friend Jill talked her into letting Henry come back since he got his job back. Then Gladys came back to him. When everything was just fine, he remembered Ernest, and everyone he met had the name of Ernest, Each Ernest he met he feared was the one to get rid of him. Mr. Bumpus and his friend Sleepy carae to get Henry's room, which Aunt Ethel had put out for rent. Henry thought this friend was the one to exterminate him, Mr, Bumpus, who really had no intention of getting rid of Henry, had a guilty conscience about taking his money. So he gave the money to Sleepy for poor Henry. Sleepy thought the money was to be put on a horse. It paid 100-1. The horse, Henry, won. So Henry and Mr. 3umpus each had $500.

To earn money for our trip to Detroit and Canada vli the Greyhound bus, we sold our quota of magazines, sold initials made of colored felt, and collected tax stamps.

Verlln Krieger and Kathy Fike had perfect attendance records. At Thanksgiving time the group served a tea for the mothers. A play entitled The First Thanksgiving was pre- sented for entertainment. It was considered a success since every mother and several grandmothers were present. Other parties were enjoyed at Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine Day. For two of the members, the parties had a special meaning. Galen DeVriendt celebrated his 11th birth- day at the Christmas Party and Carole Flack her 12th birth- day on Valentine Day. The sixth grade held a special honor because they were the only grade to have their own band. FIFTH GRADE There were 16 girl and 15 boys enrolled in the Tilth grade at the beginning of the year. During the year Mary Weller, Donna Greenlee, and Robert Dowling left, but Charles Philabaum, Randall Winn and Kathryn Howard joined the class. This left the class with 15 girls and 16 boys at the end of the school year, Reading, writing, spelling, English, arithmetic, geogra phy, history, scienoe, music, health, safety, and physical education kept the children busy. Brace Gleckler,RuthKelley, Sandra Clendenin, Lloyd Huston, Eddie Buck, Diana Flllinger, Lois Wagner, Dee Ann Emmel, Linda Sell, Greg Geer, Charles Philabaum, and Joe Gormley managed to take band lessons. The children contributed to the March of Dimes, Junior Red Cross, and Crippled Children's Relief, They collected many articles for the White Elephant and Country Store booth for the school carnival, Robert Jessen, Brace Oleckler, Bobby Uloth, Sandra Don- ahue, Paul Kolbe, and Lenny Hildreth were high seed salesmen. The olass realized $16,37 on this venture. The children also collected sales tax stamps for which they received over $80.

The enrollment fluctuated from time to time, but the class managed to keep thirty as their average. Kathleen Baker was the first who necessitated a fare- well party; Penny McComb arrived to replace her. Tony Salas and Raul Flores, home-run stars, went south for the winter. Cathy Loften and Charlotte Wilson came to balance the roll call. Cornelius Koorn moved to a Wooster farm, but again, Henryk Stasiak came from Germany as a replacement. The Fun With Science Club offered a number of new experiences for the class. Among them were use of parlia- mentary procedure, a track hunt in the dead of winter, and opportunities to use the high school equipment, such as the microscope. Geography provided numerous activities such as the mock fourth grade county fair, realistic enough that ithad a live animal exhibit. At Christmas time the children decked themselves with ribbon and wrapping paper to represent Christmas p a ckages while they sang All I Want For Christmas Is a Boy or Girl. They were entertainers again in March—this time for the P. T. A. program. Transformed into Hit Paraders and Dancers, they enacted the seven top tunes of the week, a n accurate survey of America's fourth grade taste in popular music. Every holiday was remembered with a classroom party, and they even managed to squeeze in a couple marshmallow and gum-chewing ones, besides. Their spring field trip to the historical spots along the Maumee River was their first contact with Ohio history, but Indians and guns are always a vivid picture on a fourth grader's mind. Best of all, when the month of May had almost passed, this singing-together, working-together, and flaying-together class could no longer be classified as fourth graders. The fifth grade had captured every one of them! THIRD GRADE Thirty-two bright, peppy youngsters were ready for the third grade. Gradually four more joined their ranks: David Winn, Larry Howard, Judy Hosier, and Danny Hosier. Julie Baker left at the end of six weeks for a new home in Mich- igan. Those on the honor roll during the year were Jeff Geer, Kenneth Hiatt, Merlyn Tripp, David Pifer, Gretchen Geer, Kathy Ottgen, Alice Shaffer, Joseph Foreman, Dennis Hill, Penny Woodward, Randy DeVriendt, Tom Moore, William Ries, Beverly Flack, Classie Scott, and Richard Clark.

Two children have enrolled since, one from Adrian and one from Blissfield. The first months they learned the month and the days of the week. They learned with what letter their names began. The teacher, Mrs. Hartell, appointed two room mothers for each of the morning and afternoon classes. These mothers saw that the mothers came in and gave a party every holiday. They learned the Pledge of Allegiance, an opening prayer and grace. They learned to sing the first verse of America, most of the nursery rhymes, and several finger plays. They were able to write their own name well, to make numbers 1-10, and to count much higher. They saved sales stamps and with the money, bought a new slide, new puzzles, a shoe lacer, and several new books. In all, they had a very enjoyable year and felt quite grownup after their year in kindergarten. ACTIVITIES Jsnney, Tom Ronald The l$6- 57 baseball team had a good start by winning five out of six of the games. They hope this will continue through the last of the baseball season. Many of the boys who went out had a feeling they could go all the way this year. The highest batting averages for the fall season were Jack Benner, .h$h; George Cox, .U5U; and Richard lifer, ,U50. Several home runs t ere hit during the season. Benner hit two, and Cox, Pifer, and Vrooman each got one to help Metamora attain such a high record.
