Our freshman year we gave a play. After the play we displayed some of our talents in a musical stunt. Our sophomore program consisted of an evening of television entertainment. We will never forget the Rock-ets, Good old Mountain Dew, and Homer and Jethro. A few of our more energetic senior girls gave us an exhibition of their wrestling skills and some more seniors entertained us with Ted Mack's Amateur Hour. Many of you will remem- ber the singer who won the contest, Denise Bur- meister. Of course, we'll never forget Kent Wat- kin's peanut butter commercial. Due to difficulty, we were unable to obtain any pictures from our junior class program, but you may recall the hilarious play entitled Antic Spring and our Miss America pageant. In the lives of many seniors these programs will certainly be Moments to Remember. Sophomore Program 1961 Underclassmen Row 1, Left to Right: J. Whipple, B. Gnepper, P. Lockwood, J, Sommer, L.

Staff The yearbook you are now reading would not have been possible without the diligent work of our Harbor-Lites staff. In most cases good yearbooks are the result of sound planning begun the spring before. They are not composed a few weeks prior to the close of school. During the summer months the editors and advisor of the Harbor-Lites are busy making plans for next year's edition. They note the strong points and failings of the previous year's book and try to improve the quality of the book during their tenure. They lay out a dummy, decide the theme for the book, devise some sem- blance of continuity, and formulate policy. Deadlines are tentatively designated. So it has been with this year's Harbor-Lites. In these pages you will see those who have put the memories of 1962-63 together so that you may look back in the years to come and recall those events. The students made the memories, the students compiled the memories, and the students will reap and enjoy the benefits of reminiscing. If the enjoyment derived from the Harbor-Lites is equal to the amount of work put into it, there will be a great pleasure in store for all the students. As the year progressed and the staff became organized, deadlines started coming into the picture. Lights burned long in the yearbook room, and the staff worked up to the last minute writing copy, drawing layouts, and selecting pictures.

All, including editorial work, circulation, and typing, is done by the students themselves. This year’s editor, Chris McBain, assigns and approves all articles which appear in the paper. The Rocket keeps the stu- dents in tab on happenings in and around school and on those in the future. Cooperation is the quality of most importance developed by working on the Rocket. Each department is of equal importance; if one failed to fulfill its duty ... no Rocket. Standing: Annette Whitaker, Michele Minier, Ruth Fritsche, Cheryl Apling.

Future Homemakers of America Any girl who has had at least one year of home economics and is interested in homemaking may join the Future Homemakers of America. This group, under the leadership of its officers and ad- viser. has been one of the most active groups in the school. Everyone enjoys a dance, so the F.H.A. got together with the F.F.A. in the fall to sponsor a square dance. In the spring the girls held a Daddy Date Night when each member brought her father as a date” to a meeting. This group sponsors many worth while projects as well as social activities. In February the girls put on a program at the county home and gave gifts to the residents. In the spring an exchange meeting with the Genoa chapter was held. F.H.A. girls have fun while they learn to be good homemakers. Row 1: M. Graber, Historian; S. Weirich, Reporter; J. Easton, Parlimentarian. Row 2: P.

Council This organization's main purpose is not merely to sponsor the dances held in the gym at noon. If the student body has a particular prob- lem they would like to bring to the attention of the faculty, all they need do is bring it to the attention of a representative to the Student Council. This representative will relate the situation to the council at meetings which are held every Tuesday and Thursday during fourth period. This year's elected offi- cers are Norma Bodnar, President; Mike Meckfessel, Vice-President; and Dave Deitzel, Secretary- Treasurer. Mr. Melvin Hoover is the advisor for this group. The main purpose of the student council is to promote a better communication between the administration and student body by student representation. It also makes arrangements for the elec- tion of the football queen and attendants. Row_l: E. Holz, N. Reif, P. Bartell, J. Pinson, C. Baumert, S. Nissen, C. Marik, J. Nehls, K. Wargowsky, C.

Mr. Martin, Mr. Herbert, and the team's sponsor, Miss Frank, were all instrumental in its formation. The principle intentions for or- ganizing our scholars are to in- crease and broaden their scope of knowledge and help them to be better prepared to write various scholarship and entrance examina- tions. The team is generally com- posed of college-bound students, although any interested sophomore, junior, or senior may participate. The students who work on the team devote much of their spare time and effort at noons and in the early morning before school going over old examinations and specially prepared material together.

Under the capable leadership of President Ray Miller, the Junior Red Cross conducted one of the most successful drives in our school's history. The Junior Red Cross is organized, not only on the local level, but on county and state levels as well. The Ameri- can Red Cross has many purposes, one of which is to attend to hu- man suffering whenever an emer- gency arises. The organizations's work is under the supervision of Mrs. Elsie Shoup. In the past, several county offices have been filled by our school's representa- tives. Junior Red Cross Row 1: P. Bartell, B. Schmidt, V. Gorsuch, B. Brown, J. Whaley, S. Baumgartner, S. Wheller.

Thanks to them we have an occasional break in the daily routine of classes. These boys are available to teachers who do not prefer to show their own movies. Since their only purpose is showing films, this club has no need for of- ficers. Row 1: Mr. Lutz, advisor; Jim Sutter, Gary Finke, Dave Norwin, Jim Sorg, Paul Scherf.

Ushers The assistance of these charming high school representatives is a most useful undertaking. Many of the audience could never find the correct seat and certainly not as quickly or pleasantly without the aide of the ushers. Members of the faculty and Mr. Herbert choose these students as freshmen to serve through- out high school. Last year's head usher chose Faye Greunke to take her place. Office Staff The girls on the office staff are selected on the basis of grades, appear- ance, and personality.

Troupe 2180 of the National Thespian Society is relatively new to our school, having been formed in the spring of 1961 with twelve charter members. The purpose of the society is to pro- mote and create interest in all phases of the dramatic arts. Some of this year’s activities were a car wash, several formal initia- tions, the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, and Herbie Awards Night.

Since 1903 the Lesbian and Adelphian Societies have been battling in several types of contests. In recent years these contests have been the Rocket sale at the beginning of the school year, the ticket sale for Inter-Society, and a stunt presented at the Inter-Society Play. This fall the Lesbians took the Rocket sale for the second year in a row. Each so- ciety busily prepares their stunt for each year’s competition. For several years the stunts have been very enjoyable and we have seen a great deal of talent displayed. This year was no exception. The Lesbians this year were lead by Terry Zenser, Kathy Stiger, and Kay Bethel; while the Adelphians were lead by Kent Watkins, Linda Boyer, and Jeanne Gluth. 65 Seated: D. Dipner, J. Peters, G.

On March 14, 15, and 16 the cast and crews of the Inter-Society Play received their reward for the long hours of work put into the play. For many years the play and stunts have been an annual event much looked for- ward to by not only the students, but also the town's people. The plot of this year’s production, Ask Any Girl , concerns a small town girl who comes to the big city to find a job and a husband. The main difference between Meg Wheeler and any other man-hungry twenty-year- old female is that Meg is well equipped with all sorts of statistical facts about any subject imaginable. The sur- prise comes when she falls in love with the serious, business-minded brother of the suave playboy she has been chasing. The crews and cast put a lot of effort into producing a very entertaining evening for the capacity audiences. 66 Prow Crew B. Ford, P. Layman, K. Streiffert, M. Minier, K. Myerholtz, S. Kaiser, D.

Lead roles were successfully dramatized by Joyce Schultz and Kent Watkins as Betty and Don MacDonald. Their two daughters, Anne and Joan, were portrayed by Vesta Moore and Linda Boyer respectively. Several amusing incidents occurred after the MacDonalds moved from Seattle to an isolated island. Peg Sparks and Ruth Fritsche as student directors greatly aided the director Miss Linda Usselton. 69 Class Programs Around Halloween time the juniors presented their class program. It consisted of a play entitled Scarey Hollow and a stunt. The plot of the play was very involved, but humorous. The leads were played by Ken Wikle, Sue Milbrodt, and John Lamb After the play, the juniors gave us a view of Hallo- ween past, present, and future of a certain senior boy. The program was enjoyed by all. On January 28, the student body, faculty, and guests were entertained by a program given by the class of '65. The sophomores, after having to de- lay the program because of bad weather, did a very good job in presenting their play entitled Are We Dressing? Following the play, we were entertained by a stunt taken from Candid Camera. The last feature of the program was the presentation of the class pennant. Music Senior Row 1: C. Winnie, J. Lee, B.

Under the excellent direction of Mr. John Freytag, our Senior Concert Band and marching Band has made quite a name for itself. During the cold weather of football season the march- ing band is seen during pregame and half time led by the strutting majorettes: SueAnn Jess, Drum Majorette; Sharon Steindam, Jenny Siska, Kay Noble, and Feature Twirler, Billie Dee Hubbard. As a result of many long hours of hard practice these girls led the band in a very enhancing manner. The concert band practices hard all fall and winter to pre- pare for district contest. If they receive a I rating at dis- trict, they are allowed to compete with top-rated bands at state contest. 73 Director Majorettes Billie Hubbard Sharon Steindam Jenny Siska Kay Noble Dance Band Dance Band Row 1: R.

These girls worked very hard on Mondays and Wednesdays seventh period to give us some beautiful music at concert time. One of the favorite songs of this group for this year was My Fair Lady. The Girls' Glee Club also participates in the Mixed Chorus, which sings at the concert. Again this year we had a girls' ensemble. There were twelve girls who actively participated in this group.

Under the guidance of our fine coaches and senior squad members, the Rockets worked like a well-oiled machine, gaining yardage by hard run- ning, strong blocking, and accurate passing. The first victory of the sea- son came in the game with Clyde. The Rockets won the gam 20-14 with seconds remaining. This was the turning point of the sea- son as the Rockets won 4 of their last 6 games. Their losses were to undefeated St. Joe and Gibson- burg. Finken, G. Tabbert, P. Gaeth, D. Haley, D. Dick, D.

The varsity basketball team for 1962-63 ended with a winning season of 9 wins and 6 losses. The season was full of surprises and disappointments. One of the surprises came with an upset win over Elmore. The disappointments included los- ing the last game to Clyde and finishing in a second place tie in the Sandusky Bay Conference by winning 4 and losing 2. The Clyde game was played without our leading scorer and rebounder, Carl Baldwin. Buzz tied the school's home-court record by scoring 41 points in a conference game against Lakota. Under the leadership of Coach Lutz, the boys played with great spirit for which they receive our admiration.

Their record consisted of 13 victories and only 2 losses. The fans witnessed many close games this season. The closest game encountered was played on Elmore's home floor with Elmore winning by a one-point margin. Leading scorers for this year's team were Dave Rife and Mick Beier. Of course, the season would not have been so successful had it not been for the boy's excellent teamwork. We give them a great deal of credit for a job very well done.

They earn these points by skating, bowling, volleyball, and hiking. These girls also par- ticipate in intramurals to earn their points. In intramurals they learn the rules of the various games and contests besides good sportsmanship. Jr. GAA Officers Row 1: L to R., C. Siefke, pres., C. Reitler, v.p. Row 2: K.

They are very active leading the S.O.H. fans at sporting events during both the football and basketball seasons. These girls added many new techniques to make this year’s squad one of the best that we’ve ever had. Another “bundle of vitality is our reserve cheerleading squad. Many hours of practice are put in by these girls so as to repre- sent our school in a reputable fashion. Under the leadership of Mrs. Karen Johns, both squads worked very hard, but it was unanimously felt that their cheering days would be among their fondest memories. Sandy Cornell, Gae Scherf, Carol Reitler, and Kathy Foreman Physical Education Tumbl ing This year we had an added feature in our physical education program. This addition was our tumbling. It was introduced to us by our new coach, Charles Ramsey. The boys became interested in tumbling after witnessing a tumbling exhibition at one of our basketball games. The junior high showed us their tumbling ability at another of our basketball games. Of course, along with tumbling, the boys who were out for football and track enjoyed their daily eighth period weight lifting class between the two seasons.

Any boy you see sporting a bright red jacket with a letter sewed on it is a proud member of our Varsity Club. This year the advisor is our new football coach, Mr. Ramsey. This year's officers were Dig Skinner, President; Jack Baumgartner, Vice- President; Dwight Dick, Secretary; and Dave Deitzel, Treasurer. The main purpose behind the club is promoting higher standards for its members. In order to become a member a boy must have earned one letter in either football, track, or bas- ketball. This club sponsors the Homecoming Dance and sells beverages at basketball games to help finance athletic programs. Imagine being a spectator at a sporting event with no scoreboard! But thanks to the work of one senior boy, Jim Wittman, we need not worry. Jim has been very ef- ficient at keeping the fans posted on the scores.
