Moody SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As I was walking down the main street of a large city in northeastern Ohio in the spring of 1957, I began to think back to my high school days. lt seems surprising that only ten years ago I graduated from good old Nova High. Suddenly, my dreams were shattered! Ahead of me was one of my old school chun'-s, Bill Patton, in the uniform of a street cleaner, industriously wielding a broom. I stopped and after talking to Bill for a few minutes I discover ed that he .Jas an author. The book he is working on now is entitled, The Life and Loves of a Street Sweeper, which accounted for the street cleaners uniform. But then, Bill always took his work seriously. Bill put his broom on his shoulder and asked me if I would have dinner with him. I accepted his invitation and after a visit to Bill's apartment we headed for a restaurant. On the way to the eating place, we passed a large building with a big sign in the front yard which read-- Dr. S. H. Richards, Cat and Dog Hospital . I was glad to learn that Rich had succeeded in his ambition to be a vet. The restaurant which Bill led me to had the name of 'iMac and Elsie's Place . The Mac was the shortest member of our class, Maxine Wellsg the Elsie was none other than Doris E. Hawley. Maxine said she was a confirmed old maid. fWe have heard that she has been secretly married for some time., Her business partner is engaged to the owner of a chain of hardware stores. After a very delicious meal at Mac and Elsie's Place, Bill and I hired a car to take a drive in the country. As we were driving along we saw another member of the Class of '47 chugging along in a Cletrac. It was the business man of our class, Ellsworth Bair. We stopped for a time to chat with E'.lzie and learned that he was general manager of a 5,000 acre chicken and grain farm. We also were informed that he had married a former neighbor of his and that there were two little Bairs in the family. After I got Bill to promise to visit me soon I caught the train for home. In my compartment later that night I turned on the television set and lay back to enjoy the music. To my great surprise, this is what I heard: This is your old swoon boy, Add Phillips, of station WNOVA bringing you another half hour of music. Sure enough, it was my old classmate, junior looking the same as ever. I fell asleep while listening to his lovely music. I awoke early the next morning to answer someone's persistent knocking at the door. Who could it be at this time of morning? It turned out to be Dr. Mary Jacobs. She explained that she had been told that I was on the train so she had come to investigate. We talked over old times and she told me she had her office in Columbus and she was now on vacation. Her school pal, Maurita Hanes, is her assistant and is taking care of the office during Mary's absence. Maurita is now a registered nurse and is taking her work very seriously. The train stopped and as I got offl Saw my beautiful blonde wife and son waiting for me. We went directly home and after dinner started reading my mail. The first letter I opened was from none other than Virginia Phillips. v I . F 9 , 1 W 4 W i W i She is editor-in-friuief of the Novae Novae in Nova and doing a very good job of it. The paper has grown into a daily job now instead ofthe weekly paper of nay Senior year, Virginia IS also married to one of our under- classmates and there is a little freckled-faced boy in the family. From the paper Virginia sent me I learned that Carl Phillips has attained his goal. He owns and operates a farm not far from Nova and he and his wife, Pauline, have that basketball squad they wanted. While finishing my mail I was interrupted by the doorbell. There siood Dorothy Crawford! She came in and talked for some time. It seems that Dorothy is teaching physical education and Latin in Nova High School. She invited us to visit the school and after I had promised to come she left intending to visit other classmates. She informed rne that Wayne Moody , known as the heartbreaker of our high school days, is still playing the part of Romeo. Wayne manages his father's farm in summer and works in a pie factory in winter. Now that I have found out the whereabouts of all my fellow classmates I can settle down to my work for maybe you don't think a president of a bus company worksj and prepare for the future of my wife and D.W.C. , Jr. I just this minute heard a news flash over station WNOVA. Add Phillips singer-comedian of this station has just signed a contract with Republic Studios of Hollywood. He will play the lead in a new play called The june Bug by Bill Patton.

CLASS WILL We the Senior Class of 1947 being in our usual unsound state of mind and body, do hereby make and proclaim this our last will and testament. The glorious end of the most brilliant classes of this institution of learning is near. The faculty of this institution has so over-burdened our minds that we feel the end is in sight. We, having passed, by the Grace of God and our kind-hearted teachers, this phase of our education wish to dispose of our assets, rights, and privileges in the following manners. To the Faculty--We leave our deepest syrnpathy for their unsuccessful efforts to teach us anything. To the on coming Seniors--We leave our seats, sit in them but do not try to fill them. Our privileges but do not abuse them. To the on coming juniors--We leave the right to get by in our classes with the least amount of brain work possible. To the on coming Sophomores--We leave the right to get in the teachers hair, annoy them and argue with them. To the on corning Freshman--We leave ourselves, as a model. Our most prized and valuable possesions we dispose of in the following way: Mary Jacobs, wills her way with the boys to Mary Rickett. Wayne Moody, bequeaths the right to flirt with all the new girls who may enter school to his brother, Roy. Dorothy Crawford, bequeaths her intelligence to Frances Boyd. junior Phillips, wills the right to tease the girls to Richard Bowerize. Virginia Phillips, bequeaths her talent for playing the piano for the school to Irene Carpenter. William Patton, leaves the right of all his gags, cracks, and tricks, he does to be carried on by Danny Hanville. Ellsworth Bair leaves the right to talk about farming to Ralph Smith. Maxine Wells, leaves her ability for cheerleading to Roberta Ann Zacharias. I Donald Crawford, wills his pleasing personality to David Asire. Carl Phillips, bequeaths the right to be the tallest in the school to Wendell Biddinger. Stanley Richards, wills his musical ability to Don johnson. Maurita Hanes, leaves her fabulous abundance of jewelry to janet Edwards. Doris Hawley, wills her close friendship with Maxine Wells to Juanita Akers and janet Edwards. - -Doris Hawley S CLASS STATISTICS Class Flower - Yellow Rose Class Colors - Maroon and White Class Motto - After The Battle, The Reward Advisor - james L.

They are: Richard Bowerize, Ila and Irene Carpenter, Anna Lena Rickett, and Dale McBride. As the class advanced through the grades, it lost and gained many members. When we entered high school we were greeted in a way that will never be forgotten. We had twelve members then. In our Freshman year we lost jack Repp and gained joan Hanes and George Young. This year we lost Marvene Shultz. We now have eleven members: they are: President, Irene Carpenter: Vice-President, Dorothy Mamula: Secretary, Ila Carpenterg Treasurer, Anna Lena Rickettg Richard Bowerize, Dorothy Fultz, Joan Hanes, Pauline Howman, Dale McBride, David Johnston, and George Young. Mr. Girton is our sponsor. On November 8, we presented the junior Class play, Aunt Tillie Goes to Town . It was a roaring success. Everyone in the class is in Mixed Chorus. Two of the boys are in Boys Glee and all the girls are in Girls Glee. All the boys are active in athletics. Dale McBride plays on the varsity basketball team while Richard, George, and David play regularly on the reserve team. -ella Carpenter JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On November 8, 1946, at 8:15 o'clock at the Nova Town Hall, the junior Class presented their play, Aunt Tillie Goes to Town, a riotous comedy in three acts. They had a large and appreciative audience, with the receipts totaling over 570. The class, as a whole, is to be congratulated on a job well done and especially George Young who stole the show with his hilarious antics while in female attire. Nice acting, juniors! Music was furnished by the Nova High School Band and a trio, made up of Virginia Phillips, Evelyn Phillips, and Doris Hawley, between acts. The juniors extend their thanks to their director, Miss Hiner, and to all others who helped in any way to malce possible their play. Aunt Tillie. . . .

The same class, now in the tenth grade, hasn't changed greatly. At the beginning our class consisted of Juanita Akers, Everett Bair, Wendell Biddinger, Franced Boyd, Robert Bowersock, Delores Brown, Clifford Flannagan, William Hochstetler, Carol Keith, Lorine Kettering, Herman Madison, Lillian Madison, Roy Moody, Donald Patton, Doris Phillips, john Wells, jennie Robinson, Charles Shearer, Marvin Shultz, Ralph Smith, Dorothy Wiltrout, and Charles Murray. During the past nine years we have lost and gained, but eight of us have enjoyed remaining with our friends and this good old school. The present class is made up of: Sarah Fishpaw--President, Roy Moody--Vice-President, Frances Boyd--Secretary, Wendell Biddinger-- Tresurer, Juanita Akers--News Reporter, plus the other members, Carol Keith, Lorine Kettering, janet Edwards, Everett Bair, and Ralph Smith. Our class is under the able sponsorship of Mr. Harry E. Weidenhamer We, the Sophomore class, wish the Senior Class, a happy and suc- cessful future, and we hope you will be as good alumni as you have been upperclassmen. - - Fr anced Boyd FREISHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 3, 1946, an unpredictable group of Freshrnen entered High School. During this year they have lost two members, Ruth Schad and john Albro, and gained jean Whitwel.1 from Parma, Ohio. In the first grade we had nineteen members, but through the past nine years we have lost and gained members until we now have a total often members. The pioneers ofthe class are Donna Bechtel, Mary Ellen Fishpaw, Mary Rickett, Dan Hanville, and Robert Shultz. A few weeks after school started, there came a time which always seems to come to the Freshman classes of Nova High: initiation. The few days of initiation were the most memorable of the year as they were commanded by upperclassmen to do the craziest things. QI wonder why?Q We hear that several of the girls were thoroughly dampened to submission but not their spirits! The Freshmen boys who were on the jayvees basketball squad this year were Dan I-lanville and Donald Patton. Bob Shultz was manager of the basketball teams. Roberta Zacharias is one of the cheerleaders for the Varsity team. Several members of the class are in the school band and the newly organized Science Club. Officers of the class are: President, Mary Ellen Fishpawg Vice- President, Dan Hanville: Secretary, jean Whitwellg Treasurer, Donna Bechtelg News reporter, Mary Ricketi. We the Freshman class of 1947, want to wish the Senior Class, as a whole and as individuals, a very successful future. --Mary Ellen Fishpaw H U M Q R I, -.,,-1, Y. . fx Ag. .wx 1 g r , . , 1, ka , r, ,-.

We want to look at a mink coat, he said. The S3000 model pleased her, but not him. Finally the saleswoman brought out a 525,000 model. We'll take it, Carl said immediately. I-lere's my check.

The saleswoman apologetically told Carl the credit manager wanted to see hirn. He left. Pauline and went up to the office. Before the credit man could say anything, Carl asked: Did you call up my bank? Did they say my family had millions but I was the black sheep of the family and my limit was S500 a month? 'Why y-e-e-s.

W 'Sen FRESHMEN INITIA TION On October 3rd and 7th, 1946, another Freshmen initiation in the history of Nova High School took place. The Freshmen were compelled on Thursday, the 3rd, to wear all sorts of outlandish apparel. Various other means of torture were dreamed up and carried out by the upperclassmen. On Monday evening, the 7th, as many as were able gathered at the school house to witness and take part in the final initiation of the Freshmen. After it was all over the Freshznen, along with the rest of the classes, assembled in the Home Economics room for refreshments served by the Seniors. Leaving the Fresh.men to wash the dishes, as is the custom, we left for home, satisfied with our job of having initiated another class into our high school family. VENTRILOQUIST ENTER TAINS STUDENTS On February 13th, 1947, George Marx, a ventriloquist made his appearance for the second time in our midst and as before, everyone seemed to enjoy him immensely. Not only was he excellent in the art of ventriloquism, but he also kept the student group entertained with his numerous references to members and doings of the student body. His dummy, Waldo, was made to seem very real and the admission charged was not too much for the fun we had. LECTURER HEARD We were quite honored during the latter part of November, 1946, to have with us a man from Bagdad, Mesopotamia, who showed the student body things which came from his country, told us interesting things about the country, and gave an interesting talk on his reasons for coming to America. We were all glad to hear his ideas and he made us feel that America is, after all, about the best place there is to live. SCHOOL PRESENTS CHRISTMAS PROGRAM On December 19, 194-6, the school presented a Christmas program at the Town Hall. The proceeds, which were 535.75 were for the purpose of helping pay for band instrurnents which were purchased earlier in the year. Highlights of the program were songs and playlets acted out by the grades, numbers by the high school girls' and boys' chorus, and the impressive closing of the program with the reading of the Christmas story by Mr. Weidenhamer and the accompanying music by the mixed chorus. SOPHOMORES HOLD SKATING PARTY Although parties were somewhat few and far between this year, the Sophomores were able to hold at least one. This party took place at the Nova reservior and was for the purpose of doing some skating. Several guests, along with the class attended and enjoyed themselves immensely. After the skating had worn everyone out, the group retired to the fire where refreshments were enjoyed by everyone. 4 l 1 1 v 1 .4 Q ' .,. -. x n K ,..-z...N ,. 1 1 . 2, . 1 1 , 1 N- ,QI , VJ4 '..' if. , ,H 14 iw4 l.'t :'5,. .g, f. -C Fil.: f.

In previous years the aspiring instrurnentalists were forced to join with the community members in the organization of a community band. At the beginning of school only nine members were eligible for the band but at the end of the year our small number of nine was more than doubled. The band was very active during the year making their first appearance at the junior Class play in November, ad- ding pep to the basketball games, furnishing novelty tunes between acts of the Farmer's Institute, joining with the other schools of the county for the all county Music Festival in April, and climaxing the year with the May Day Festivities the last day of school. The dusting off of the old uniforms was a great event and one that will be long remembered by the band members for the fun they had and the services they did for the community. At Christmas time the entire twelve grades joined together in giving a Christmas Musical. The musical program given at the Farmer's Institute brought another combination of all grades and organizations in February. The Girls Glee Club were praised many times during the year for their fine blending of voices and excellent musical performances at the Christmas Musical, the Special World Day of Prayer at the United Brethren Church, the Farmer's Institute, and the May Day Festivities. The Boys Glee Club made several appearances during the year, among them being the Christmas Musical, the Farmer's Institute, and the May Day. Many laughs were furnished by this group when they presented a skit at the Farmer's Institute entitled Bone:-s School Room . It became such a highlight of the program that the boys gave a repeat performance at the P.T.A. meeting in April. The largest musical group is the Mixed Chorus, consisting of the upper four high school grades. This group participated in the Christmas Program and the Farmer's Institute. A special and very entertaining musical radio program was presented by the different groups in novelty, solo, and ensemble numbers in presenting a program at the P.T.A. meeting in March. Looking back over the year of 1946 and 1947 we conclude that each of us had some part in at least one of the active and inspiring musical groups and that these memories will be lasting through the years to come. --Miss Betty Hiner Lmmgnphea a. sauna by wzmswonrn BROTHERS ra..e.un..
