glass ggsfory by IERE CARRICK The morning of Monday, September 7, 1954, started off as an ordinary day for most people but for seventeen boys and thirteen girls it was rather extraordinary as they entered the doors of New Riegel High School. For this was the day that we ventured into a strange new world of learning and adventure. We broke ground and started to undertake a very serious and important project. The blueprints were al- ready laid out for us by our parents and teachers. This plan provided us with four years of education which was to be the foundation of our life. During the first week we elected Carolyn Hohman foreman, to oversee the construction of our first year of education. We were finally acceptedinto the Education Build- ers' Union. on October 3, after a rugged initiation, so aptly carried through by our predecessors, the Sopho- rnores. We were proud to hear that Carolyn Hohman was elected cheerleader, a position she held for four years. Iere Carrick and Iames Iones took part in the one- act play contest, which later entered into district compe- tition. During the first year, Theresa Clause, Carl Deckler, and Carolyn Hohman represented us in the District Scholarship tests at Heidelberg College. This year New Riegel was the runner-up in the Seneca County Baseball Tournament and was eligible to compete in the District play at Clyde. Members from gur class on the team were: Iere Carrick and Donald outs. .After nine months of hard work we were allowed three months of summer vacation. When we came back, the following September, we were a little more accustomed to the routine ot high school life with one year of experience under our belts. This year we were promoted to Sophomores. Charlotte Lonsway was our choice to oversee our work the second year. We noticed that Donald Frankart, Patricia Hoeph, Harold Reinhart, Carolyn Seibenaller, Donald Smith, failed to report for work so we continued on, regretting the loss of their help and company. After the semester vacation, we noticed that two more: James Jones and Viola Lucius were missing. This we also regretted. As Sophomores we were given the privilege ot initiating the freshman class. This festive occasion took place on Oct. 6. Two new teachers: Miss Denny and Mrs. French, and one new student, Edgar Coleman, were among the victims. This year Carl Deckler and Carolyn Hohman rep- resented us for the District Scholarship tests. The time rolled around for vacation again, So we put down our books and set oft for three months of relaxation. We came back that fall with a new title Iun1ors. During this year Rita Lauterbur and Ronald Elchert fail- ed to report for work, reducing our number to twenty. This year Clarolyn Hohman was our choice to over- see our work. On September 24, we took another great step towards graduation, we selected our class rings. Soon after we met again, and with the co-operation of the entire class we selected our: class moto, Today Decides Tomorrowg our class colors, pink and charcoal grayg and our class flower, the pink carnation. In October we welcomed a new student, Annabelle Kessler, increasing our number to twenty-one. On October 18, the Iuniors traveled to Attica for Career Day. We were proud to hear that Carolyn Hohman was promoted to varsity cheerleader and Nancy Schlachter and Charlotte Lonsway were elected reserve cheerleaders. Iere Carrick and Thomas Goshe were selected to attend Buckeye Boys' State, at Camp Perry. Roy Hohman and Carl Deckler were conservation essay winners and received a trip to the open mining areas at Cadiz, Ohio. ludy Lauer, Francis Brose, Thomas Goshe, and Iames Collet took part in the county one-act play contest named Tobaccy Road with Detours. Francis Brose and Carolyn Hohman represented us in the District Scholarship tests. Following an old tradition, we treated the Seniors to an elaborate feast deviating somewhat with an ac- companying dance. This occurred on April 27. The theme was Fantasy Land. This year a new scholastic interest was introduced. lt was the l, O. League sponsored by the radio station W. F. O. B, of which lere Carrick, Carolyn Hohrnan, and Theresa Clouse were members. As we began our last year of construction, We were given the title Seniors We gave Iere Carrick the task of leading us through our last and most important year. For this was the year we were going to put the finishing touches to our foundation. On September 30, the seniors took a step toward graduation by having their pictures taken. Theresa Clouse and Nancy Schlachter were elected co-editors of the Ftiegelette. Carolyn Hohman and Charlotte Lonsway were chosen co-editors of the Hi- Lite. On Ianuary 10, eight seniors traveled to Tiffin to compete in the Scholarship tests. They were Charlotte Lonsway, lere Carrick, Carolyn Hohman, Theresa Clause, Donald Fouts, Carl Deckler, Thomas Goshe, and Francis Brose. New Riegel was winner of the Seneca County Base- ball Tournament and was eligible to compete in the District to be held in April. Members from our class on the team were: Iere Carrick, Roy Hohman, Carl Deckler, Louis Hohman. On February 8, Theresa Clouse and Thomas Goshc competed in the National Machinery Citizenship Contest. The members from our class participating in the following are: County and District Music Clinic, Iudy Lauer 3, 4, Theresa Clouse l, Z, 3, 45 G-irl's Trio, Catherine Wetzel, Theresa Clause, Carolyn Hohrnan 45 Stale, Theresa Clouse l, 4. On the l3th of April the third annual Senior Recog- nition Night was held by the P. T. A. We were awarded trophies for our accomplishments. On April 30, the following were initiated into the National Honor Society: Theresa Clouse, Carolyn Hoh- man and Thomas Goshe. May Z5 was the date when our class proudly pre- sented its Senior Class Play. The play a howl hurricane comedy titled The Atomic Blonde. On May 10, the Iuniors honored us with the annual Iunior-Senior Banquet. After our final exams, we came back on the night of May 29 to get a small piece of paper at a ceremony known as Commencement. This small piece of paper, we received represents twelve years of concentrated study, friendship, and grievances. So, as we leave the doors of New Riegel High School with our heads held high we will follow our class motto: Today Decides Tom- morrow. We wish to thank all the teachers for their part in helping us attain our goal, and we extend our wishes to the future classes of New Riegel High School.

grep Chop Suey, Chow Mein, Hong Kong, Mah long, Sing High, Sing Low, Ringling Brothers. - I've had a circus learning to speak in the tongue of the Orient these last few days. And now I wish to say Goong Hay! Goong Hay is congratulations! - Congratulations to the Seniors of New Riegel High School. The particular reason I wish to say Goong Hay to the Seniors is that I was com- placently smoking my opium pipe the other night when I had some WONDERFUL dreams about the future of our Honorable ONES - you just wouldn't believe some of the things I dreamed up. I saw Arlene Williams dressed all in white, - look- ing just as though she were a bride! But you know here in the Orient, white is a symbol of mourning - and Arlene was crying enough tears to flood the Yangtze! It seemed that her husband had passed away. I didn't quite catch his name - but I think it begins with an And the insurance man, Sing Flat Brose was there to pay her 5,000 yen. - Personally, I thought it was rather heartless of him, when she was so recently bereaved, to show he had a yen for her. And Arlene looked at that 5,000 YEN and burst into tears again. Oh, she wailed, I'd give ONE THOUSAND of these yen back to have my husband back again. In my pipe-dream I saw judith Lauer and her hus- band. They were holding their age well - but their grandchildren called them Gong Goong and Paw Paw in the fashion of the Orient. They own the Comfort Garden Cafe. While I was there a man came in - he looked like Mr. Newcome, and said, Give me a 55,00 dinner. And Paw Paw asked, Do you want it on white or rye? - Yes, they have done WELL. Through the white smoke from my pipe, I saw before me a reporter. Yes, it was Nancy Schlacter. Because of her intense interest in everybody's business and the ability to penetrate where she was not wanted, she appeared to be getting a hot story. - lt seems Mr. Durbin had struck oil in his back yard where he was digging his private swimming pool. As the fog of smoke lifted, my eyes came upon lim Co'let, a right lazy looking fellow. He seemed deeply interested in athletics. He could not be a manager of a ball team, like his former teacher, Mr. Wetta, who had really done well with his team - the Wettaton Road Pioneers, nor could he be a boxer, as his venerable classmate, Roy Hohman, had become. Roy has recently won the title - Crooked Snoozle Hohman. These oc- cupations required too much moving about. So lim de- cided to keep a racing stableg and he has a race track built up the side of the house. His stable of racing snails is brought out every afternoong and while he lies back in a hammock, his faithful snails crawl on and up to victory. It seems Mr. Heistand has a pre-fabricated house he's just put up. He wrote to the Carl Dieckler Company, who sold it to him, and complained about it. None other than Carl himself came out to look it over. Carl took fwcy by IOANNE WANK ONE look and said, Well, heavens, Mr. Heistand, it's SIMPLE! - You've put it up UPSIDE DOWN! OOOOH! sighed Mr. Heistand, - So THAT'S the reason I keep falling oft the porch! While in my unorganized dream, I visited the circus and about collapsed when I saw the ringmistress, An- nabelle Kessler. She showed me around and while so, told me that she had finally reached her greatest aim. She had finally topped Barnum and Bailey, but said she could have never accomplished it without her two live- liest acts - Mrs. Shireman's pet parakeet doing the Chinese wig-walk and Mrs. French's talking dog. Yes, they are really great. Through the smoke I could see Monica Hohman and Anna Theis running a little grocery store they called Everlasting Happiness Shop. I went in -- and all I saw was RICE! RICE on thhe COUNTERS. RICE UNDER the counters. RICE on the SHELVES. RICE in the STORE ROOM. I said, Girls, - you've got enough RICE here to build another WALL FOR CHINA! You certainly must sell a LOT of rice! Well, no, they said, not so much. But do you remember Thomas Goshe? He's working for Louis Hohman's Wholesale Grocery, and BROTHER! can HE sell rice !!l! I saw Catherine Wetzel, Carolyn Hohman, and Theresa Clouse making their debut as the Warbling Birds singing on the Great Wall. Like Humpty Dumpty, they take fall. - Now they warble no more. Mr. Holden has recently announced his new develop- ment. On his 500 acre farm, he has grown there a Chinese Money Tree. It is guaranteed to grow 10,000 yen a year. I-Ie is hoping to plant more when the weather is just right. As the smoke began to circle, I find Donald Fouts to be a salesman, too, I asked him what he sold, and he said SOAP! I asked, 'ils it good soap? Donald answered: Is it GOOD? Why THIS is the soap they use to clean other soaps with when they get dirty! It seems that Mr. Michener no longer believes Co- lumbus' theory of a round world. When he bumped into the Great Wall four different places, he changed the theory to ot square world. .As the smoke trailed through the library, Iere Carrick was sitting at one of the tables. He took the book of wise sayings and looked up the word courting His particular problem was how long girls should be courted. Confucius say: Same way as SHORT girls. I find Miss Witmore to be a dance instructor for the Arthur Murray Dance Studio. I asked her how many kinds of dances there are, and she said: lust two kinds, Formal dances - and the ones where you wear your OWN CLOTHES! My opium pipe was getting smoked out, but I did have one last dream. Donald Borer owns a large paddy - rice field - to you. He's a BIG operator. Has LOTS of hired help and EXCELLENT fields. Lots of birds come in the field though, and they eat the riceg but, of course that cuts into his profits so he has to do something about it. I looked out in one of his flooded fields, and there knee-deep in mud stood a motionless figure. I thought it was a scarecrow to frighten the birds away. I said: Don, that scatrecrow's no good, It doesn't move at all. You ought to tie something on it that would flutter in the breeze and scare the birds away. Scare- crow! scoffed Don. l'Why, THAT'S not a scarecrow - THAT'S MY HIRED MAN - Herman Lucius at work! I must go now. I see our new self-appointed dictator, Charlotte Lonsway, coming down the street in her gold rickshaw. I'd better get out of the wayg you know these woman dictators.
