Girls' shower room honor roll 11 Got'cha, Queenie !! Altogether now: one , two , three'. Most Likely to Succeed Gail Schmunk Dave Milbrodt. The seniors elected for these honors were nominated by a faculty committee then brought before the entire senior class to vote on. There were six nominees for each title--three boys and three girls. These pictures are supposed to represent the various mosts. Gail and Dave, who were chosen Most Likely to Succeed, are shown taking life easy while counting all that green stuff. Dave and Jo can't seem to see enough of each other's good looks, and Ginnie and Norm are dressed in their best. Carol and Terry are being friendly—just as they always are to everyone; and it looks like Pam has de- fended the old saying Never underestimate the power of a woman in showing Dave the fundamentals of Indian Wrest- ling. Barb and Frank are waiting for the go signal to let fly with the laughter, and Pam and Jim look as if they don’t really care if their talented efforts to build that lovely tower (?) crash or not--it was fun making it!

As our senior year draws swiftly to a close, we find ourselves reminiscing over all that has happened in this, our last year at S.O.H, September brought short- ened skirts and raised eyebrows; a new library and Miss Frank as our librarian. In October we crowned Jo Hetrick as Homecoming Queen with Judy Jensen as her senior attendant. This was the first time that the student council was in charge of the elections; thus giving the entire student body a chance to vote. November came, and we presented our Senior Play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. The new Alma Mater was dedicated at the last football game, as the seniors took part in a S.O.H. football game for their last time. Then came December and the Tinsel Twirl, sponsored by the music department. The theme for the big occasion was White Christmas, and soon Christmas vacation came, giving us all a much-needed holiday. The new year arrived with exams to worry about and all kinds of activities staring us in the face—basketball games, the college panic, and of course the TWIST. February brought with it the Winter Concert and an appropriate theme, Say it With Music. Jo Taulker's senior volleyball team upheld their championship rating by out- volleying all others. History was witnessed as Lt. Colonel John Glenn be- came the first American to orbit the earth. March came, and with it, a whirl of activities to keep everyone busy. The Man Who Came to Dinner was the Inter-Society Play presented; the newly formed Thespian troupe sponsored a Sadie Hawkins’ Day Dance, and the Senior Band prepared for contest. In April we found the male populus preparing for a successful track season. The prom, class sermon, and last but not least on May 31, graduation ended our senior year. As we look back, we remember the fun we had being together in the Class of '62. A o ■ C i C i cr Row one: Kay Heller, Vesta Moore, Barb Hockin, Judy Lykens, Chris McBain, (standing)-Terry Zenser.

Feeling their way in the new and exciting high school lifegivesthe freshmen officers plenty to think about. Other than presenting their class program, they have no major projects. The success of the next three years will depend on how they handle the first. Kay Bethel, secretary; Bob Ford, president; Dave Dietzel, vice-presi- dent; Mick Beier, treasurer; Mr. Martin, advisor. Choosing the class colors and the design for their class pennant are the two things the sophomore class officers have to do. They mainly try to prepare for the next year — their junior year. Junior class officers have a heavy load of work in preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom. Their many projects include selling candy and popcorn at basketball games, spon- soring dances afterward, and the annual magazine sale. Officers Linda Boyer, secretary; Peggy Sparks, vice-president; Terry Zen- ser, president; Barb Hockin, treas- urer; Mrs. Young, advisor. The primary duties of the senior class officers were those of seeing that we had a class flower and motto, ordering our caps and gowns, and selecting invitations for Commencement. They are responsible for all the final official duties of our class of 1962. Dave Milbrodt, president; Jo Hetrick, secretary-treasurer; Jim Linder, vice-president; Mr. Herbert, advisor. The 1961 Oak Harbor football team had its ups and downs this year. Although only winning four games and losing six, it was the best season Oak Harbor has had in three years. Our four winning games were all conference games and were good enough to put us in a three way tie for third place in the conference. It was a sad night in Oak Harbor as we lost our homecoming game to Clyde 8-0, but spirits rose as we won two of our last games with the final contest ending with a moral victory over a high rated Genoa team. This was pro- bably the most exciting game of the year as Oak Harbor was winning 8-0 at half time. Genoa's great depth finally wore down and defeated a stubborn Oak Harbor team 20-8.

Team The Varsity Basketball team, coached by Bernard Lutz, had a very fine season this year by winning 11 and losing 5. Off to a slow start, the Rockets lost 3 out of their first 6 games but then came on strong to win 8 out of their last ten. The turn- ing point of the season came at Port Clinton when the Rockets out scrapped their arch rival and came out on top by eight points. They managed to tie for second place in the Sandusky Bay Conference by winning 5 and losing only 2. Dave Howton S.O.H. Co-Captain 2nd Team—S.B.C.

This year the Reserve Basketball Team, coached by Charles Todd, had a mediocre season by winning eight and losing eight. They had a few tough breaks during the mid- dle of the season but steadily im- proved as it progressed. Playing their best game against a good Tiffin Calvert team they managed to hit their season’s high by scoring 63 points. They also lost a few heartbreakers, but that is just part of the game.

The Salem-Oak Harbor Band has made an important place for itself in the community through its active participation in com- munity events. The band is made up of students from grades nine through twelve who have been preparing themselves on the musical instrument of their choice since the fifth grade. In working their way through Junior Band to Cadet Band, and finally to Senior Band, the students develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of good music. The Senior Band is backed by an organization known as the Band Mothers, which sponsors various fund-raising projects throughout the year. Some of these pro- jects include the ice cream social, which has been held annually for the past three years, and a few years ago, the purchase of new uniforms. L i n d a V a n A t t a deir Our five high-stepping majorettes led the band down the football field and in parades this season. Along with the band they put on entertaining half-time shows, in- cluding a special routine, Tunes of Glory. At the homecoming game, Billie Dee presented a fire baton routine. We 've also seen them twirling away at the Fall Fair and various pep meetings. Head Majorette Carol Knopp G a i 1 S c h m u n k 64 All tfirougfi tfie ’62 season! You little devils!!

Music of all types is heard from the band room on Tuesdays and Thursdays, for those are the days the Dance Band practices. The biggest event of their year is the Winter Concert. At this time they rendered various selections and the vocalists, Ginnie Wheeler and Jim Moore, also offered solos. This year pianist Joann Wainwright was featured in a piano solo Theme from the Apart- ment. Playing for basketball dances, banquets, and entertaining organizations of the community keeps the Dance Band busy year round. Winter Carnival The Band Mothers sponsored an ice- cream social, the Winter Carnival, in mid-January to raise funds for the music department. Besides a Senior Band concert and good food, a country store and a fish pond were added attractions of the after- noon. Here's a big thanks to our Band Mothers who back us and the music department so enthusias- tically. Offer people FOOD and MUSIC and look what happens!! mmm “Say lUiffi Music ’ ) y iir o ?v“ d1 . L .

Beautiful dresses, black tuxedos, plus the young and vibrant voices swelling throughout the au- ditorium made the 1962 Winter Concert an overwhelming success that resulted in a standing room only audience. This year, Mrs. Windisch and Mr. Freytag directed the big occasion jointly. A few of the numbers presented were Old King Cole by the Boys’ Glee Club; The King and I Choral by the Girls’ Glee Club and the finale; America, Our Heritage by the combined chorus and Dance Band.

The troupe had twelve charter members who were installed in May of 1961 by the Lakota Troupe. Since that time, there have been two initiations in which twenty new mem- bers have become National Thespians. The main purpose of the National Thespian Society is to create a deeper interest in the dramatic arts. In order to become a Thespian, a student must earn at least ten Thespian points through participation in almost any phase of dramatics—on crews, student directing, or actually a part in the play itself. Since its origin, Troupe 2180 has been quite active in school. Its first project of the year was to put signs up in the halls for the benefit of the football teams and to pro- mote school spirit. During the early fall and winter, the troupe sold candy to earn money for literature and materials needed for those students who partici- pated in various speech and dramatic contests. Six Thespians took part in a contest held at Lakeside in January. Ginnie Wheeler won first place in the district with her dramatic declamation, White Lilacs. This year has showed a lot of promise for the troupe, and we sincerely hope that it may become an even more important part of life at S. O. H. in the future.

Their journey was full of sugar and spice as romance and hilarious situations entered into their lives on board ship and while living in France. • Through the efforts of our director, Mr. Lee, thfe entire cast, and all the crews, our play will certainly be remembered as a high spot in our high school days.

Man lUfio 74 The Man Who Came to Dinner, the 1962 Inter- Society Play, is a comedy about Sheridan Whiteside, played by Kent Watkins, who, having dined at the home of the Stanleys, slips on their doorstep breaking his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of confinement fol- lows during which the Stanley living room is mono- polized by the irascible invalid, ex-convicts are in- vited to dinner, and trans-atlantic calls bring a $784 phone bill. The arrival of strange gifts from his friends further destroy domestic tranquility and found the Stanleys with penguins in the library, an octopus in the cellar, and 10,000 cockroaches In the kitchen When Maggie, his secretary, falls in love with the re- porter Bert Jefferson, Whiteside summons a glamor- ous actress, Lorraine, to win the affections of the young man. Knowing Lorraines's charms, Maggie en- lists the aid of Beverly Carlton to trick Lorraine into leaving for London and Lord Bottomley. The plan al- most works, but Whiteside, becoming suspicious, finds that no transatlantic calls have come through from London. Lorraine in revenge suggests a three- You're WHAT! You heard me. I'm suing you for $150,000!! Mr. Lee, director; John Meckfessel, assistant student director; Peg SparKs, student director. Came So Dinner week rewrite on a play of Bert's in which she feigns great interest. Whiteside soon begins to realize just how much Maggie loves Bert and the unexpected ar- rival of a mummy case furnishes Banjo with an idea on how to be rid of Lorraine. In the end love con- quers all, and Whiteside departs from the Stanley home triumphantly. A moment later a crash is heard, a loud scream of pain and Whiteside is car- ried back into the living room. He has slipped and fallen again!! The cast for the play was quite large and everyone spent many hours trying to make it a success. Not only do those in the cast deserve a thank you, but also we should remember those un- known soldiers who do so very much in making the finished product successful. Mr. Lee and his student assistants also rate a thank you for their patience, criticisms, and help. For those of us who are seniors, and for whom this will be the last of our Inter-Society seasons, I'm sure we will remember fondly the hours spent on making February and March a truly memor- able part of our school life.

In the beginning of the school year and around Inter- Society time you can find usually very close friends battling to the finish. This of course, is due to the competition between the Lesbians and Adelphians over the Rocket sale, Inter-Society ticket sale, and stunts. This year for the first time in many years the Lesbians claim victory in the Rocket sale. A stunt centered around a Circus theme was presented by the Lesbians, whereas the Adelphians took us on a trip to Disneyland Quiet! Adelphians at work! Watch out for Jean behind the screen! 'Big Bad John and company! Out balent It was funny—to the utmost! The one act plays which are presented throughout the year are always looked forward to by one and all. Not only do those working on the presentation have a lot of fun, but the audiences also enjoy them. As this goes to press the freshmen have not yet given their program and the seniors haven't presented their final program, but we are sure that both of these will be as enjoyable as those already presented. Earlier in the year the juniors presented a comedy entitled Antic Spring. The sophomores also gave a com- edy, Apartment to Share, which involved a series of hilarious incidents and finally ended happily. The Adelphians took their turn doing the Thanks- giving Program, with a short play called It Could Have Been Worse, which was an enjoyable pre- cedent to Thanksgiving vacation. The Lesbians presented the Christmas program after which every- one enjoyed a long holiday. The faculty members who spend so much time on these programs certainly deserve a word of thanks.

The Rocket, ready for publication is constantly under pressure from students, faculty, and just about everyone in general. Each issue is the result of co-operation from reporters, writers, typists, art staff, and business staff. We often forget just how much time and energy goes into having the paper ready for us to read. They cer- tainly deserve a lot of credit for their efforts.

They are selected on the basis of grades, especially in typing and shorthand, appearance, personality, and responsibility. To them are assign- ed such duties as typing and distributing the abscence lists, delivering messages, keeping the office tidy, and in general, helping Mr. Waters and Mr. Herbert when ever possible. The experience they re- ceive here will especially benefit those who expect to go into secretarial work in the future.

Our Junior Red Cross has been incorporated into the schools with the hope that the student representa- tives will bring an awareness of this organi- zation to others. In the fall of each year, the students who have been chosen conduct a Red Cross Drive, urging every student to do his part. The Junior Red Cross is organ- ized, not only on a local level, but on county and state levels as well. In recent years, several of our representatives have been elected to county offices. 91 Projection Clu6 The boys who are members of this organization are those who run the projectors for the various films shown throughout the school year.

Thank you--one and all! 92 industrial Arts Clu6 As stated in their constitution, the purposes of this organization are to promote interest in industrial arts, to improve the department and skills, to explore industry and to be of service to the school. The club, popularly known as C.W.G., holds six meetings a year. Two of these meetings are spent on projects and the other four are made up of factory visits, speakers, movies, and the induction of new members. To be eligible for mem- bership, a boy must be taking industrial arts and maintain a C average in the course. Mr. Roger Carpenter is advisor for this group.

Acfiuifies Committee These students are selected by the stu- dent body after being nominated and placed on a ballot by the class presi- dents. Their main function is that of keeping an accurate record of activity points which are counted in the spring to determine whether or not a student will receive an award. These awards are then presented to all who have earned them on Activities Day in May. Not pictured here are the Committee's faculty advisors—Mrs. Fought, Mrs. Teagarden, Mr. Byrne, Mrs. Baumgart- ner, and Mrs. Eichenauer. Student Council The student council consists of two rep- resentatives from each class who are elected at the beginning of each year. They sponsor dances during lunch hour to raise money for their projects. This year, another duty was added to their list. That was the responsibility of holding elections for the football queen and her attendants. In this way the en- tire student body was given a chance to vote.

Ushers Being on hand to usher people to their seats at such important events as the Senior Play, Inter-Society Play, and Commencement is the main function of these much-needed students. With- out them to keep some order in the mass confusion which arises a few min- utes before every important occasion, complete bedlam would undoubtedly be the result.
