THE HARBOR LITES Salem-Oak Harbor High School Oak Harbor, Ohio 1967 Foreword We present to you, with great pride, our 1967 Harbor Lites. Recorded within these pages is a.part of your life—the many hours you spent at Salem-Oak Harbor. Freshmen, our Harbor Lites recorded for you only the beginning of what may be the happiest years of your lives. Preserve every moment. You have three years before you, but time moves rapidly like the swift path of the rocket. Sophomores, you now have reached the midpoint of your high school days. You have been introduced and have become accustomed to the high school way of life; however, greater challenges are ahead. Juniors, you are rapidly approaching an important 2 milestone in your lives. Prepare eagerly; do not allow anything to slow your approach. Plan time for pleasure, too, for there are many very happy moments ahead. Seniors, now is the time when we relinquish our roles as high school students and assume greater roles in life. The world invites; we accept with pleasure. Reluctant- ly we leave endless moments of pleasure, times of des- pair, hours of glory, and the routine days of high school life. We all enjoy recalling the precious moments in our high school past. Turn the pages; together we shall recpature those moments. Now, People As we recall our high school days, the dynamic manner of Mr. George Millie lies fresh in our minds. His friendly personality and patience in the classroom combined with his determination as coach on the gridiron gained for him the utmost respect of the student body. The above quotation, a favorite of Mr. Millie, is remembered more than those learned from the American history book. In appreciation of Mr. Millie’s tireless efforts during his years at Salem-Oak Harbor High School, we proudly dedicate this yearbook, the 1967 Harbor Lites, to him. 3 Board of Education Mr. Paul Lockwood Mr. Norwine. president of the Board, is well known in his capacity as vice-president and cashier of the Oak Harbor State Bank. Currently Mr. Nor- wine is serving his 11th year as member of the Board. According to Mr. Norwine, to prepare and educate our children to contribute to their welfare and the welfare of our society as youths and adults is the most important purpose of the Oak Harbor schools. Mr. Lockwood, clerk of the Board, is an gradu- ate of Salem-Oak Harbor and Toledo University. He has been on the Board seven years and currently works in the Civil Service-Defense Contracts office in Toledo. To give the best education possible for our students is the most important purpose of our schools says Mr. Lockwood. Mr. Fuller, Oak Harbor Postmaster, has served on the Board for nine years. He attended high school in Bowling Green and furthered his education at Toledo University. Mr. Fuller feels the most important purpose of the schools is to give the proper environmental education to our youth so they will be able to face an economy demanding special- ization and technical training, or be able to con- tinue his academic education. Vice-president, Mr. Leow. received his high school education here at Salem-Oak Harbor. He has served five years on the Board in addition to operating his fruit farm. To provide for each stu- dent the best possible education in the field of his choice is the most important purpose ot the schools according to Mr. Leow. To provide quality education for our students so that they can compete on an equal basis with others, to encourage students to solve problems on their own, to promote the desire to learn after formal education is completed, and to help develop a healthy mind and body is the main purpose of our schools accord- ing to Dr. Minick. Dr. Minick received his high school education at Gibsonburg, attended Capital University, Toledo University, and Western Reserve School of Medicine. He has served on the Board for one year. Mr. Carmon Norwine Mr. Melvin Fuller 5 Dr. Robert Minick The first superintendent’s position held by Mr. David B. Martin took place here at Salem - Oak Harbor. Four profitable years were ended during this school year. He was a dynamic man, possessing qualities of leadership, ingenuity, creativity, and help- fulness. He started and completed many worth- while projects, including the new music facili- ties, renovation of the science department, li- brary, the heating system, and many others. All members of the faculty and members of the student body appreciated the work that he did for all. At the end of the first semester, he ended this term of service in order to accept a position with another education system in Franklin County. It is our desire that the job that he assumes will be a challenge and a benefit to him. Administrative performed many CLIFFORD HERBERT, Principal and Acting Superintendent. DAVID B. MARTIN, Superintendent Mr. Herbert has had many additional respon- sibilities during the school year 1966-67. He not only has worked very diligently as the princi- pal, but he assumed the role of interim superin- tendent. In this new role he worked very closely with the student body, faculty, and with the board of education. We wish to commend him for the amazing job that he has performed. 6 MRS. AUDREY NICKEL, Secretary to the principal. personnel have necessary tasks MRS. JUDY WOLF, Secretary to the Superintendent. MR. THOMAS GIBBS, Guidance Counselor. The secretaries serve as an aid to the administration in many ways. They help eliminate so much of the paper work giving administrators time to do other important tasks. The guidance counselor's main function is to assist the student in selecting courses, finding employ- ment, and any personal problems that may arise. 7 Cooks, janitors, and bus drivers Mrs. Myrtle Carpenter, Mrs. Louise Ittel. Olliver Keller, Howard Baumgartner, Luther Beck. Non-teaching personnel in our school play an important role in the proper functioning of the system. The cooks do an excellent job in pre- paring meals for the student body. The custo- dians work each day to keep the school clean and in order. Our bus drivers work hard in or- der to transport each of the students into and a- way from the school each day. Even in treach- erous weather they must be available and on the job. Each driver has a tremendous responsibility ROW 1: Wilbert Goetz, Albert Cass. Lawrence Sandwisch.

Due to the many hours of hard work and the conscientious attitude of the director Mr. John Freytag, the band has won many enviable honors at contests and other musical functions. Many times dur- ing the year Mr. Freytag has come to school between 7 a. m. and 7:30 in order to give his students the greatest possible opportunity tode- velope and improve their musical talents. In appreciation for the many years of service to the school, the band purchased a going-away gift for him. ROW 1: M. Schiller, M. Thierwechter, A. Foreman, M. Provansha, D. Wendt, B. Koepke, O.

In November ot 1965, the voters of the school district approved a levy providing funds with which to build a music facility. In April of 1966, after much detailed planning, ground was broken and construction was begun. The build- ing progressed through spring and summer and was finally completed in early November 1966. The pictures tell the story of the metamorphosis of the music facility. From start to finish ummmm V 50 Band members take their places to welcome the football players and to arouse spirit tor the game, Three ensemoie members put on a clever dance routine as they sang their numbers. Majorettes pose for a moment in their routine. A pictoral account sums up a few of the varied ac- tivities performed by musical groups. Football halftime shows, pep rallies, torchlight parade, and Christmas parade for the Riverview retarded children were a few of Cheerleaders led band along the torchlight parade route, the senior band's activities. The band also performed at an open house held in the new music facil- ity. Choral groups presented a Christmas concert and a Winter concert. The senior Girls' En- semble sang at many local func- tions as well as school activities. Time, talent, and facilities put together make up a very won- derful musical department. Queen Janet reigns Homecoming festivities '66 style began with a torchlight pa- rade. Organized by the student council, the parade began at Mill Street with the queen and her court, the band and avid spectators. As the band lead the parade, it moved its way to the school where the Rockets were to meet the Raiders of Lakota. The usual pre- game followed. The Rockets started an impressive first half and continued the pace throughout the half-time score of 24 points to the Raider's 8. During half time, the crowning ceremony was to take place. The band marched to its concert position on the field and provided the music in the background. Then from the right end of the field appeared Joan Foreman, freshman; Connie Foreman, sophomore; Cheryl Mizener, junior; and Mary Schiller, senior. They were es- corted by L. Sherman, F. Meckfessel, H. Dewitz, R. Durdel, R. Martin, and D. Wolf. Each was brought to the center of the field in a convertible and then escorted to the crowning area. Then, with a great round of applause, the 1966 queen Miss Janet Axe rode center field with 1965 co-captains P. Miller, and W. Freimark. These co-captains had the honor of crowning her. Rock- ets won the game by a score of 40-14. Homecoming dance was held on Saturday evening.

Football season successful; The 1966 edition of the Oak Harbor Rockets compiled a respectable 5-4-1 record. Although winning only one out of their first four games, the Rockets roared back to capture four victories in their final six attempts. In Sandusky Bay Conference action, our squad placed third, losing only to state-ranked Sandusky St. Mary's and Fremont St. Joe in two hard-fought contests. At the conclusion of the season, the squad chose an honorary captain. Recipient of this award was J. Simp- kins. Bill was a natural choice, lettering as Rocket quarterback three years and gaining All-District recog- nition this past season. Simpkins also won the Best Back award. J. Young, our fine senior tackle, re- ceived the Best Lineman award. All in all, the team's great spirit and the fine back- ing of the student body made the '66 football season a success. ROW 1: J.

Reserve Coach, Gary Ricker, and Head Coach, Charles Todd, keep a close watch on player moves in the tense, exciting Genoa game. The best in eight years. That was the 1966-67 Rocket basketball story. Records were tied and bro- ken. It was the year Harry Dewitz rewrote the record book with 44 points in one game and a 1000- point-plus career at S-OH. The record was 12-6, and we tied for second in the S. B. C. race. The Rockets also had an undefeated sea- son at home. They never lost a game by more than a 10-point mar- gin.

Oak Harbor's cheerleaders are a busy lot, found do- ing just about everything - climbing up, jumping down, turning around, clapping, crying, screaming, talking, running to or coming back. Mothers and fathers love them, other girls hate them, and the coaches and administration tolerate them. The players ignore them, and their advisor protects them. When one wishes to watch a game a cheerleader is an inconsiderate, bothersome, intruding bunch of noise; however, she is a magical creature - you can lock her out of the boy's locker room, but you can't lock her out of your heart. You can get her out of sight, but never out of ear shot. She is our leader, our spirit, our hust- le and the team's most loyal fan - a feminine bundle of nerves with a tinge of idiocy. The 1966-67 Rocket Cheerleaders were all these, but also much more. Never once did they cease generating spirit from the student body or coaxing the team to do their best.

The staff is composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Qualities of reliability, and responsibility are necessary to make the final product one of the highest quality. S. Burks and S. Peters discuss problems with Mrs. Kohlenberg. Work starts in the summer with advertising. M. Wikle, D. Palmer, and S. Palmer leisurely take that first step. 68 S-OH news published in Rocket ROW 1: J.

Mr. Oakley finds this a relaxed teaching position. CARL SMITH MARTHA BAUMGARTNER 84 students proficiency in communication CAROL NOWAKOWSKI Speech students focus their attention on the reading skill of E. Lorentz. As students march their way through high school education at S-OH, their effec- tive speaking and writing is developed by the language department. In their freshman year, under die direction of Mrs. Mensing, Miss Parker, and Mr. Oakley, they de- velop skills in grammar, are introduced to high school literature, and become ac- quainted with the library. Mr. Smith teaches sophomores how to develop these skills further. Mr. Oakley emphasizes creative writing and reading in the study of American writers and poets. Miss Nowakowski directs her students through English literature. Students may elect college composition, and speech as seniors. In the foreign realm, Mrs. Baumgartner teaches French and Latin I. Mr. Smith teaches Latin II. Both French and Latin play an important part in the student's well- rounded education. As a study of French begins, students eyes seem to be glued to the instructor. Mrs. Mensing points out to S. Willoughby how he can improve the paper he is writing in Col. Comp. 85 Math involves simple computations as well as complex formulas. Our mathematics department consists of three teachers: Mr. Smith, Mrs. Schlachter, and Mrs. Teagarden. General math, first- and second-year algebra, geometry, and mod- ern mathematics are of- fered to interested stu- dents. As our society be- comes more complex, more and more empha- sis is placed on these areas. Complicated eq- uipment such as com- puiers forces improved knowledge of math. MARY TEAGARDEN CHARLES SMITH FRIEDA SCHLACHTER 86 Patterns of the past present — — ELIZABETH YOUNG CHARLES TODD GEORGE MILLIE State standards require some courses in the social studies field. Students at SOH can elect courses of sociology, geography and American history. They each take as sophomores the world history course, and later on as seniors they each are introduced to American government. Students attempt to understand how primitive man and the gen- eration after him have developed both mentally and culturally. Current events play a large role in the study of all social studies courses. Any student can verify that this is a typical teaching position for Mr. Todd. At Left: Students listen attentive- ly as they study history. J. Rauch points out to P. Nowak where Nepal is located on a map of Asia as they study world geography. 87 Solids, Liquids and gases Mrs. Young explains that there are three ingredients in the solution. CAROL YOUNG RON OBEE Experimentation, demonstration, and analysis are three techniques used by the science teacher in order to explain much of the learning that must be done. Mr. Hoover teaches biology, where students study the body functions for animals and the composition of plants. In general science, Mrs. Young introduces the student to all kinds of scientific knowledge. Mr. Obee in physical science, chemistry, and physics actually takes the student into the laboratory where he proves for himself the information that he finds in the textbook.

Students in this class learn to express their feelings and ideas through drawings and paintings. Each year pictures are chosen and entered in art shows for high school stu- dents. This past year some of our better projects won prizes at those shows. Mrs. Paulus, art instructor, teaches students diversified methods of drawing an object by using shapes and colors. Students interested in art may elect two years of it in high school. in art classes 90 New opportunities available in business if students have the necessary training S. Peters correlates skill on the typewriter with the executary die tating equipment. Sometimes practice makes perfect. JANE KOHLENBERG Students can receive a basic business course here at S-OH. If they follow the planned sequence of courses, they would take general business as freshmen. Typing I and Bookkeeping Tas sophomores. Shorthand I and Bookleeping II or Typing II as juniors. Shorthand II in the senior year. If any advanced training in office machines or data processing is desired, Penta County offers more. Mrs. Sorg finds that visual aids are a necessity in teaching the bookkeeping concepts. 91 Driver Education and Health give students needed information. Gary Ricker Left: Students discuss the problems involved in parking a car before trying it. Driver Education courses have been offered for one half of a year to anyone interested in the operation of a car. Stu- dents learn to handle a car on the road, change a tire, and learn how to park the car. Mr. Shuff and Mr. Todd are the driver's education instructors. Health, also offered for one-half year, may be taken by any sophomore, junior, or senior. Mr. Ricker shares his knowledge with students on alcoholism, heart, cancer, and mental illness. Charles Shuff Mr. Shuff explains to several students how the hands should be held on the wheel. V 92 Vim, Vigor, and Vitality present in physical education classes. Sue Robinson In order for students to keep their bodies in the best physical condition, the state education department requires that high school students take physical education. Mrs. Robinson, Mr. Shuff, and Mr. Ricker spend much time work- ing with students on this very aspect of their development. Girls' physical education classes spend time at one of its major sports--basketball. Exercising is a major portion of the physical fitness R. Bassett seems to enjoy the drudgery of program for boys. working on exercises. 93 Penta County classes are found to be job oriented. Stenographers and typists work very hard on im- proving their skills. Cosmetology students practice by other. mm working on each Instructor takes time to work individually with all of his students. 94 Library and study hall give time for individualized study Up-to-date research material, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and reading material fill the shelves of the often-used library. During study periods students may use the library freely for proj- ects assigned to them as well as their own type of research. Miss Frank, librarian, and Mrs. Quisno, study hall monitor, control the students druing these periods of the day. Darleen Frank Odelle Quisno Students take time to read library books. They must sign them out through a student librarian. Diversified projects take place in study halls. Some people study, others read for pleasure, and still others use the time for sleep. 95 Vocational competence . . . ROGER CARPENTER LARRY HEINTZ Learning by doing is a phrase that could apply to the home economics, industrial arts, and vocational agri- culture courses offered at Oak Harbor. Working with the hands, learning practical applications for a job or for daily living makes each course offered a real challenge and benefit to the student enrolled in it. Major projects are assigned and completed by the stu- dents. A four-year course may be elected by any student in any one of the three areas. In home economics and vocational agriculture, home visits are part of the routine duties. Mr. Heintz demonstrates the use of machinery and equipment, and the students then work with the equip ment themselves. 96 practical effective living Home Economics girls learn to can and freeze fruits and vegetables. Mr. Carpenter checks to see that Jim Wendt is progressing. Miss Smith checks consistency of rolls as stu- dents look on. Vocalists instrumentalists The vocal and instrumental de- partments, as groups and as indi- viduals, learn the mechanical and aesthetic values of all eras of music. The essential purpose of all music taught in our school is to instill in every interested student the appre- ciation of this field as one of the fine arts. Miss Mary Spieldenner heads the vocal department while Mr. John Freytag works with the band.
