In l904 it was re-built ond is now the present elementary building. The present high school building was put into use in l923. And in this yeor con- struction will begin on the new oddition to the grode school building ond the modernization of the high school. So whot would be more oppropriote than the closs of l9'5l dedicating theirWildcat to the future students ond foculty of New London, ond to the actuol rooms, holls, and the building itself.

Glauauuiaaq The Class of Fifty-one has successfully accomplished one of the most important phas- es of life. In other words we have gone through twelve years of school. Here are some of the more important events and cherished memories. On September 5, 1939, we got our first glimpse of school life. There are thirteen of the original class of 1939 still with us! Richard Weekley, Sandra Schafer, Dwight Sack- ett, Mason Randleman, Patricia Lash, Dc Lee Hileman, Richard Brown, Ruth Burner, Carole Evans, Sterling Franklin, Richard Hook, Rosanne Cole and Mary Kay Sengstock. Miss Hibbard, our first teacher, patiently taught us the three R's. In the third grade besides doing our school work, we were carpenters, for we made a library for our room. Miss Teets was the instructor for both. Raymond Caldwell and Nancy Herr entered our class in the fourth grade. Miss Burke gave us our first exams, but most of us were able to get out of taking them. In 1944 Hartland School was destroyed by a tornado, a disaster which increased our class by five pupils. They were WVarren Lucal, Shirley Patchen, Wayne Perkins, Joan Sengstock, and Mary ,lane Ward, Harry Sawdey and Marylin Hess were new members of our class this year. Our teacher was Mrs. Philippi. Mrs. Wisler taught us in our sixth year. Nancy Harrod enrolled in the class. We were proud of ourselves, because we were now the oldest in the elementary building. The seventh grade was new and exciting. We were now in the big building and par- ticipating in classes much the same way as the upperclassmen, J. W. Kelley and Louis Kovacs added to our class roll. Eighth Grade Graduation was the big event the next year, we also had a few class parties. Many students from Fitchville strengthened the class roll in our first year of high school. They were Robert Atkinson, Edward Ganz, Betty Goldsmith, Ronald Marett, Donald Sengstock, Bonita Ritchey, Virginia Shuman, Edith Westfall, and Wesley Rit- chey. This year we were able to take part in many school activities, Donald Ross was the only new student in our Sophomore year. We found many ways to make money for Junior and Senior Prom. During our Freshman and Sophomore years, most of the boys participated in the various sports, such as football, basketball, and track. Many of the students joined the marching band, orchestra, choir and glee club. We were now able to have two represen- tatives on the Student Council and some students worked on the Tattler staff. We gave our first play, The Baby Sitter in our Junior year. It was a three act com- edy and turned out to be a great success. The Iunior year really kept us busy for we were hosts to the Seniors at Prom. Our theme was a garden on a Southern Plantation. We were very proud of our decorations and thought it was one of the best proms ever. In our Senior year we were happy to have Melitta Craser, a Cerman girl in our class. Harold Iles also joined our class this year. One Foot in Heaven, our Senior play, was about a preacher, his family, and their troubles. On May 12 we were guests of the Juniors at the Junior and Senior Prom, The following day, May 13, Baccalaureate was held in the Methodist Church. May 18 was our last day of school and we left on May 19 for our Senior trip. We graduated from High School, Wednesday evening, May 23. We wish to thank our parents and teachers who patiently and understandingly have given us the opportunity to obtain knowledge which will help us in the new world out- side, still unknown to us. Mary Kay Sengstock Gem Will. .. We, the Senior Class of 1951, being of questionable state of mind, do hereby make, publish and declare our last will and testament. We bequeath to the faculty and stu- dent body some of our most invaluable possessions which we no longer need. ARTICLE I To the board of education we leave our fond hopes that in the fall of 1951 they will be able to view with satisfaction the completed addition to the school. To Mr. DeGood we leave a portable FM radio with the hope that he will be able to hear the 1951 world series much more clearly than he did this year. To Mr. Bender we leave an assistant who will do his work for him as capably as Carole Evans has done. To Mr. Brownson we leave winning football, basketball and track teams, and a few orderly gym classes. To Mr. Sobers we leave a Senior Class as intelligent as our but not quite so dead after the Christmas holidays. To Mr. Clinger we leave a second year typing class larger than ours so he can get twice as much work done for the office. To Mr. Simpson we leave a contract with Spike jones for the summer and he is to be paid for hissinging, too. To Mr. Coles we leave an automatic study hall checker so people can get out of his study halls quicker. To Miss Murphy we give our permission to leave for Spain on May 25th and if she finds a Caballero that suits her she has our permission to stay in Spain indefinitely. To Mr. Carson we leave a marching band bigger, better, and more noisy than the fine one he produced this year. To Mr. Maynard we leave a special two - way radio for communication with his family. To Mr. Knutsen we leave classes of English students who of their own accord will so well acquaint themselves with the day's assignments that they will be able to take part in each day's discussions -- at least be able to comprehend the discussions of their fellow students. To Mr. Semilia we leave a half dozen new belts and a superbly brilliant chemistry class. To Mr. Wicks we leave a completely furnished home for use when he returns from his hitch in the Navy. To Mrs. Harrod we leave a Senior in Home Ec. class that will have a few inspira- tions for the style show. To Mrs. Rumbaugh we leave our hopes that before school starts next fall she will get the automatic bell system she asked for. To the busdrivers we leave buses especially equipped with snow plows for use in winter driving. To thc cooks we leave our thanks for feeding us so well during the last year in spite of inflation. To the janitors we leave a nine months supply of delinquent children to scrape the gum from the bottom of the study hall chairs.

It is the year 1961, and we now find New London, Ohio, one of the largest tele- vision centers of the world. The class of 1951 from New London High are very happy to be invited to appear on one of the programs which is on channel 113. .The object of this program is to see what happens to a graduate ten years after graduation. Let's look in to see what has happened to the class of 1951. .We find that Sterling Franklin is Editor of the New London Times, one of the largest newspapers in the city. 'Don johnson and Richard Weekley, who like to experiment with different things, have ,made a rocketship, and were last seen on a trip to the moon. Maybe they got there, who knows? The class of 1951 had several students who chose the teaching profession. We see that Carole Evans is an elementary teacher in Cnadenhutten Schools. She is having a hardtime keeping bubble gum from her students, as their favorite pastime is throwing it on the ceiling. Nancy Herr is a kindergarten teacher in California, She thought she would teach' kindergarten so the students wouldn't know more than she. Ruth Motter, fomierly Ruth' Burner, is an art instructor in the New London Schools. Her students are now able to draw Mickey Moose after one year of training. We see that Shirley Patchen is head nurse at the Toledo State Hospital. The report is she has all her patients in straight jackets. All is quiet for the time being.

Eugene is raising minks, the report is that it takes several minks to make a fur coat, but maybe his wife will have one someday Cor some yearj. Glafu P Melitta Graser has moved back to Germany and now has become a great orator on world affairs. II. YV. Kelley and Richard Hook have retired after being in business for one year. They had been selling used cars and had to leave town before people brought the jalopys back. Harold Iles is employed at the Clarksfield Electric Shop, and has now been promot- ed to Chief Electrician. Rosanne Cole has become a veterinarian and specializes in cats. Poor Rosanne looks a little scratched these days. Edward Ganz is en a ed in farmin and is raisin tobacco for the Luck Strike ro- 8 S S S Y P gram and is becoming known as one of the fastest auctioneers. Mason Randleman and Raymond Caldwell are now a duet singing team and can be heard over New London's Radio Station WWW. Their theme song is 'Don't Touch that Dial! We'll Get Better By and By. Nancy Dauch, after completing four years of college in one year, is now one of the leading scientists in a secret laboratory for developing the latest discoveries in atomic en- efgy. We see that Dick Brown is running competition with his former boss. He now has his own dry cleaning store in New London. His prices are a nickle lower than his compe- titor's. Harry Sawdey has become mayor of New London. He is pretty strict on fines -- es- pecially reckless driving. Let's not forget your dodging in and around cars, Harry. Ralph Fleming is a great help to the mayor as Water Commissioner. He carries the mayor his drinking water each day. Louis Kovacs is head sales manager at the C. E. Ward Company. Louis is having a hard time keeping his sales straight. Joan Sengstock Bandy is helping her husband run the Comfort Farms near Bellevue, Ohio.

We hear that after several trys they can now put a pattem together. This is a complete picture of what has happened to the graduating class of 1951. We now must close our magic view and say good-bye from channel 113. joan Sengstock Waledicioaq As we Seniors complete this first phase of our education, it is quite natural for us to wonder what the future holds for us. The pessimists paint a very gloomy picture of the road ahead. They see the end of our high standard of livingg -- even the ruin of Cixiliza- tion itself. Some say America will soon become a bankrupt nation -- one devoid of its natural resources. This feeling of insecurity and fear for the future is evidenced by the decline in college enrollment and the adoption by young people of a futile what's the useu attitude. Such dismal predictions, while understandable in these troubled times, are neverthe- less unworthy of the spirit of courage and confidence which has made America great. Our Ship of State has sailed through troubled waters before. The precious freedoms which we enjoy today were not purchased cheaply. To preserve them for our own and for future generations, we should be willing to make some sacrifices. VVhat we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightlyg it is dearness only that gives everything its value . . . and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated. These words from The American Crisis are as true today as when they were written. If man will use his reason, he must understand that no nation can emerge the victor in modern warfare, VVhen the Almighty breathed life into the first bit of protoplasm, He also implanted the strongest of all instincts -- the will to survive -- to perpetuate the spe- cies. It is our fervent hope that this inherent natural impulse will enable Man to make a useful Servant rather than a fearsome Master of Atomic Power. As to exhausting our natural resources, Science and Industry are eager to accept the challenge this problem presents. Steel and iron are being replaced by aluminum, which we have learned to make from clay and low-grade bauxite. An interesting new substitute, strong, light, and rustproof has been found in titanium, obtained from ores abundant in several of our states. Magnesium can be pumped from the sea. Soon it will be as cheap to manufacture as to refine oil products from coal, natural gas, and oil shale, which we have in vast quantities. A famous chemist has said that if the available scientific knowledge together with nitrogen compounds taken from the air, were applied to the soil of the world, the increas- ed output of food would be comparable to the discovery of a new continent. The sea teems with microscopic life rich in protein with which it may be practical, eventually, to enrich our food. Fine textiles for clothing and homes are being made from water, air, and coal or from such waste products as corn cobs, pea pods, and peanut shucks. Exciting new drugs have been found in the soil of the earth. We have just begun to learn a few secrets in the great field of Electronics. Never have there been so many opportunities or such a need for highly trained Youth. Our Ship of State must steer clear of dangerous shoals in our own home waters. The reefs of False Ideologies, Corrupt Government, Waste, and the overdeveloped Welfare State must be avoided. First, we must do everything in our power to make our good ship America seaworthy as we set our course toward the ports of Better Living, Christian Ideals and World Fellow- ship. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the understanding parents and teachers who have stood by to wish us Bon Voyage into the Land of Tomorrow. With them we join in saying: Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith, triumphant 0'er our fears, Are all with thee, -- are all with thee! Rosanne Cole Saiulal ll .74 4imzJ1eJ We, the class of '51 are now putting on the finale to our high school days. For some of us it seems like such a sad fate, VVe think about all the good times we've had and the multitude of things that we've learned. And now as we think over these things, we see how quickly the time has gone, and say solemnly, It is finished. For others of us, we rejoice with the thought that the end has finally come, and though we may soon have to part from some of our friends, we say gladly, It is finished. Yes, it is finished. No longer will we get up in the morning and hurry around be- cause first period class starts at 8:45. The state of Ohio no longer has our plans laid for nine months of every year. Now we are on our own. Our high school days are over with -- gone from us -- and now we enter a new period of our life. But do you think we can step into this new period of our life just as though we were a snail and it is now time for us to shed our old shell for a new oneg and then living in our new shell, we forget all about the old shell? No, life isn't that simple. It is all tied together in one span and though this span is divided into periods, such as infancy, school days, career, marriage, etc. -- there are no abrupt breaks where one period stops and an- other starts. Rather these two seem to coincide so as to make the end the beginning. I think one of the best illustrations I could use to show this would be that of Christ on the cross. After He had been on the cross about three hours, He knew that His time to return to His Father had come and He said these three words, It is finished. Do you not see how the end became the beginning? By His dying He gave the world a chance to become a Christian world and this nation a chance to be a Christian nation. It was and is up to us to make the end the beginning, This is true in many other things which go on today. When the San Francisco Con- ference ended and the charter of the United Nations had been drawn up many people drew a sigh of relief and said, It is finished, Now we will have peace. Now they realize that though the signed charter meant the end of one task it meant also the beginning of another -- and bigger -- task. The United Nations has partially solved some of their trou- bles, but they still have many to meet. In every day life we let many things end without making the end the beginning when it would not be very difficult for us to do so. For example you may be driving down the highway and see a speed sign or stop sign, and though you know what both mean, all you do is keep your eyes pealed for the cops. That isn't what those signs were put there for. You noticed them and that was the end. It should have also been the be- ginning, and you should have obeyed them. Many people do the same thing again and again -- see the signs and let that be the end. They see the signs of voting on election day, but how many do? They hear of a meet- ing where they ought to be in attendance because it concerns them, but how many go? just think of how many little things like this you let slip by without doing anything about them! There isn't much to sum up. But I wish you would remember this one thing: From now on let's really try to make the end the beginning. And as the old saying goes When you get to the end of your rope, start climbing! Nancy Dauclz fl Hi '- ,..m..Aa. ....., Qaacf flliaafzied. Baile! lgelfllm 01155, The New London Public Library serves both the general public and the s c h o o l. About two books for school use are circulated for every one adult book taken out. To make the reading courses more interesting and of greater value, a larger number of reading cir- cle books for grade reading were put into the library in 1950-l95l. Other interesting books have been added from time to time. For l95l-1952 the state of Ohio has selected a great- er variety of reading circle books and these your Library has purchased for next year's reading. At the beginning of the year many of the classes made trips to the Library to learn a little more about using its facilities and finding books, The librarian and assistants are always willing to assist any student or adult looking for particular information, as a part of one's school education is learning to use the library reference material intelligently. Many students have benefited. Several new additions have been brought to the Library. Some bright new lights have made the rooms better for reading pursposes. A lovely original oil painting was hung in the adult room as a tribute to the services of Mrs. Christine Bingham. A memorial shelf has also been added. The staff consists of the librarian, Mrs. Marjory French, and two capable assistants, Nancy Harrod, senior assistant, and Beverly Guscott, the junior assistant.

T om Erlcnbach, Jack Evans S Blau ,Xfter finishing their Freshman year, these Sophomores, now accustomed to High School and all that goes with it, decided to show the rest of the school how they could get what they wanted. 'llhcir main barrier lay in the teachers who seemed determined to over-hurden them with home work. But that didn't stop this energetic class. They would whiz tlirough their homework and still have time left to participate in school activities. Some ol' those who took part in activities were ,leanette Farley and Carol Ann White, wlxo were varsity cheerleaders: also Rosemary Bute, who was a drum majorette. Then for the hrutes in this class, there was football. Those who received letters were: llnssell lidgington, Charlie Burns, Eddie Mack, Clifford Belmer, and Zeke Evans. lhen liaving had most of the orneriness taken out of them quite a few of the boys went out for the mild game of basketball, Russell Edgington, Eddie Mack, and Ed Ferber play- ed on the xarsity squad, and the rest played on the reserve squad. lo eniich their treasury the Sophomores sold programs at the football games, and had cliarge of concessions at one of the basketball games. Also they sponsored a Christmas Dance. Now these Sophomores are looking forward to their Junior Year when they can work and study twice as hard.

Their music and forma- tions were of very high caliber. Patience and fortitude were their watch words with band practice coming nearly every day. Special praise should go to the majorcttcs and drum major. The band has been a public spirited group who have been willing to take part in com- munity programs. This year was no excepe tion as they marched and played at the com- lnunity Halloween party. This past year, the recently organized parents' lnusic club had for their project the purchase ol' new hand uniforms. The reaction in the form ol' large money donations from the community and the school soon made the new suits a realiza- tion. As soon as football season was over march- ing hand became symphonic band. The or- chestra also came into existance at that time, Both groups immediately started rehearsals for the Huron County Music Festival, which was held March 16, music contests at Bas- comh, Ohio, and our own annual Spring Music Festival. Several members ol' the hand and orchestra went to the Ohio Wesleyan Music Festival. Later thc orchestra played at Commencement exercises. Recognition also went to the choral depart- ment, consisting of a mixed chorus, girls' glee club, and boys' glee club. The chorus sang at the 1951 Senior Class Play and took part in the lluron County Music Festival, contests at Bascomb, and Spring Festival at New Lon- don. This department, an organization of great merit and a credit to our school, closed a very satisfactory year in musical growth and ac- complishment. Dc Lee llilemuu , .. -.
