We extend our sincerest thanks to those who have made our success possible. We, the Mirus Stott, extend to future graduating classes, all best wishes for their own Success. Compliments of C. L. DENISTON 5 To The Seniors The day your Freshman class entered high school four years ago there were one hundred and twenty enrolled. Since that time some have dropped by the wayside each year until at present you have a total of eighty-four eligible for gradua- tion. A few new ones have been added to the list: Kenneth Cook, Burl Short, and Dorla Yoder, all of whom entered this year, were the most recent additions. As a member of the faculty l wish to congratulate each member of the senior class for your fine attitude, your good behavior, your willingness to work, and your many achieve- ments both in the class room and extra-curricular activities. I wish you good health, happiness and abundant success on your iourney through life.

Their theatrical presentation ofthe year was ln May With June, a one act comedy. The next step toward success igraduationl was their Sophomore year. Their ofticers were Don Butler, president, Dale Kuhn, vice president, and Jim Abbott, secretary and treasurer. Their Student Council members were Roselyn Harris, Fred Guenther, and Don Butler. The sponsors of the year were Miss Conner and Miss Detling.,xThe class Thespians capably produced The Pampered Dar- ling another one act comedy, and the Sophomore boys who sparked the basketball team were Don Butler, Ronnie Cole, Tim Herman, Don Heil, Ernie Kuhn, Dick Coblentz, Lowell Gebhart, Jim Abbott, and Maurice Smalley. Their Junior year was another step forward. They chose this year to lead them, Jim Abbott, pres- ident, Orval Cummins, vice president, and Betty Staubus, secretary and treasurer. They elected to Student Council, Roselyn Harris, Betty Sprague, Jim Abbott, and Fred Guenther, and were spons- ored by Miss Rae, Miss Wieser, and Mr. Sheets. This was probably the busiest year of their high school career, since they put on a -three act comedy entitled The Mad March Heirs, ordered their rings, and announcements, sold pencils, and various articles to procure money for the Junior-Senior reception which was a great success. , Athletically they were represented in Football by Dick Coblentz, Jim -Abbott, Doug Barton, Tim Herman, George Gephart, Jim Thielman, Ralph Leis, Don Butler, Tick Kohr, Ray Cluxton, Don Clere, Rox Roberson, Dale Kuhn, Lowell Lucas, Joe Berger, Ronnie Cole, Don Heil, Fred Guenther. Dick Bierley and George Lawrence were the student managers. They were represented in the State Finals of the Prince ot Peace Declamation Contest by Frank Starkey. Now they are on their last step of their long climb upward and about to enter a world full of strife. They elected as class officers for their last year, Jim Abbott, president, Wayne Hurley, vice president, Shirley Case, secretary, and Fred Guenther as treasurer. Student Council members were Tim Herman, Roselyn Harris, Norma Stahl, and Jim Abbott. They were assisted through their last year by Miss Wieser, Mr. Heistand, and Mr. Roeh m. The outstanding events ofthe year were a three act comedy entitled Strictly Formal. The other events were Junior-Senior Reception, Baccalaureate, the Prom, Class Night, Senior Picnic and at last Commencement. Now that they have arrived at the top of the stairs, they will enter many ditterent fields. To each one of them, we sincerely wish success and happiness 'for the years to come.

Band has been under the leadership of John Stone, who has striven to make this year a most successful one. The band has performed many clever formations and steps for extra enter- tainment both at home and out of town games. The climax of this years per- formance was at the Troy game. ln the Billboard March, when our drum major Marshall Whalen twirled a baton of fire, and couples from out of the Gay Ninety's danced. Then, the band danced off the field with the couples following in a surrey drawn by a pony. Among these fifty-five members are the drum maior and three maiorettes. The color guards are Roland Bailey, Richard Beals, Bruce Ritter, and Buster Shaffer. Officers are Don Gutheil, student director, Frank Starkey, Captain, Kenneth Cox, First Lieutenant, Bob Thompson, Second Lieutenant, Beverly Young and Bob Routzahn, Librarians. Commencement exercises for the Seniors will be the last step in the stair- way to success for the band in the year of '48.

Although the choir has been comparatively quiet this year, we hope to hear more from them next year. With Mr. Stone as the guiding rail on the stairway to success, we are sure they will have no trouble accom- plishing this.

A house that has been deserted for years, in the walls of which mysterious bells ring at night, people mysteriously disappear and reappear apparently, dead, then come to life. These are a few of the things Laura Rhodes and her young step-mother encounter when they arrive at The House of the Bells, acting on written instructions from Laura's father, who has been in Europe and intends to meet the two women in this apparently haunted house. The two women are frightened, naturally, but are amazed when Ned Carruthers appears with ten thousand dollars, saying that Mark Rhodes has called him on the telephone, instructing him to withdraw this amount and bring it out to the young Mrs. Rhodes. On top of this a detective makes his appearance, saying Mark Rhodes is de- ceased. He was dead when the mysterious phone calls were made. So the man who telephoned his wife was not Mark Rhodes at all. Many things happened with bewildering rapidity before the cur- tain closed at the end ofthe play.

Strictly Formal is a story about teenagers--perhaps about some ot us seniors, for two weeks before the Junior-Senior dance, Jane Cutler didn't have a date. Elroy, who likes to put the shot, is always a last minute possibility, but George Ahern is Jane's current interest. Sally, Jane's girl friend is sure of Jim and of George's asking Jane until Marcia arrives from Atlanta. She is a south- ern peach who iust drips honey that all the fellows love. To help or to complicate matters, as the case might be, we have Cindy Collins who solves all the problems as they might be unraveled in the movies. In most cases things become even worse. As a culmination, Cindy uses some of Mr. Cutler's prize peonies and brings his wrath on her. Elroy saves the day and Jane, Sally and Cindy go to the dance, even though Cindy had to call in the Air Force, A. Cutler, F. Starkey, M, Whalen, N. Cutler, A. Morrin, P. Fox, J. Cutler, S.

A year later his parents, Zechariah and Phebe Hole, came with their family from Vir- ginia and settled here. ln 1799 a block house, around which a stockade was built for protection against the Indians, became known as Holes' Station. By 1818 the Holes had disappeared so when the first town lots were platted and sold the name was changed to Miamisburg. On May 1, 1818, twelve of the fifteen families of the community met and sub- scribed S187 for the building of a schoolhouse. The second schoolhouse was built in 1826 at the cost of S1,000. Here volunteers from the vicinity enlisted for the Mexican War. As the population increased another building was needed. The third one was built in 1834 and was the first to be built under the school laws of Ohio. The next building was located at the Catholic Community house. School began there January 9, 1850, with four teachers and there were 206 scholars enrolled in the whole school. Later on several wings were added. During this time the High School had been started and the first class graduated in 1873. High School was held there until the High School building as we know today was completed in 1922. The cornerstone for this building was laid June 20, 1921. lt contained a copper box which holds eighteen articles. Some of the articles were the clerk's annual report for the year of 1920, copies of the Miamisburg News, financial statements of three banks and two building associations of the town, a list of the manufacturers and business firms of the town, stamps and coins, and various other things. School began in the building on September 11, 1922. At that time they decorated the old High School with black crepe and placed a sign which read Detour-Road Closed. Today the number of students in the High School numbers over five hundred and there are 22 teachers. The number of students in the whole school is 1740. The administrative instructions consists of 57. Due to the crowded condition and inade- quate facilities another building has been proposed but only a part of the High School will move there. This year our school system is 130 years old. Each generation takes another step in this stairway of education. We have taken our step and now will obtain another education-that of the world. 80 n' x NA. . ,J ' 1 I , I. . x . K f 1 1 x.
