LINDA PUESTOW 1968 Harbor Lite’s Editor KEITH HERBERT 1967-68 Student Council President Academic, cultural, and social branches of education form the TREE of school life. 2 Dedication Because our high school memories focus on teachers we admire for their sincerity to us as students, we remember especially Mr. Gary Ricker. In his three years at Oak Harbor High School Mr. Ricker has taught many students to see a pride in themselves from hard physical and mental work. Entering Toledo University as a pitcher on a baseball scholarship Mr. Ricker was graduated in 1965 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in education and a minor in health and physical education. While football and most intramural sports play a large part in Coach Ricker’s school year, he would like to spend more time on the golf course. To Gary Ricker, a man who has instilled in us a sense of responsibility and sports- manship, we, the Senior Class, dedicate the 1968 Harbor Lites. 4 Our Board of Education consists of Mr. Leslie Sprouse, Mr. Earl Moore, Vice-President; Mr. Garmon Norwine, President; Mr. Paul Lockwood, and Dr. Robert Minick. Administration Superintendent Robert L. Craft, a native of Hot Springs, South Dakota, came to Oak Harbor well qualified to handle the complex business of our school system. Mr. Craft began his college education at the University of South Dakota, but his studies were interrupted by World War II. Later, Mr. Craft earned his B.S. Degree at Chaldron State Teach- ers’ College and his M.S. Degree at the University of Wy- oming. To this man fall the many tasks of heading our school’s administration. Our principal, Mr. Clifford Herbert, received his B.S. Degree at the University of Wisconsin and his M.S. Degree in administration at Bowling Green State University. Before accepting the position as our principal, Mr. Herbert taught seventh grade math, general science, chemistry, and physics here at Oak Harbor. Being in direct contact with individual students and group organizations is of prime concern to him and the portion of his work he enjoys most. CLIFFORD HERBERT, Principal 5 ROBERT L. CRAFT, Superintendent Mr. Gibbs, our guidance counselor, is con- stantly involved with various student problems concerning selection of courses, future plans, and any advice a student may seek. Mrs. Wolf has been our secretary to the super- intendent since 1964, and Mrs. Quillin assumed her duties in the fall of 1967. These two secre- taries take care of the multiple duties of typing and filing associated with a business office. 6 MRS. DOROTHEA QUILLIN, High School Secretary MRS. JUDY WOLF, Secretary to the Superintendent BUS DRIVERS: Row 1: Arthur Hoffman, Myron Leiser, Otto Hehl, Edward Howton, Leonard Schell. Row 2: Albert Cass, Donald Hillman, Lawrence Sandwisch, Jim Mackey, Mechanic; Wilbert Gates. Absent: Arthur Risch. Seeing that the students are safely transported to and from school each day is hardly an easy task. Our bus drivers accept a large responsibility and should be commended for a job well done. Keeping the school in tip-top shape is a big order, and our custodians do a fine job of filling it. Mr. Beck, Mr. Baumgartner, and Mr. Robinson work daily at keeping the school running smoothly and efficiently. Cooking from September to May for approxi- mately 170 students each day is a big responsibility for Mrs. Carpenter, Mrs. Fillmore, and Mrs. Mar- tin. Thanks, from the bottom of our stomachs! COOKS: Mrs. Myrtle Carpenter, Cafeteria Manager; Mrs. Hazel Martin, Mrs. Velma Fillmore. CUSTODIANS: Howard Baumgartner, Donald Robinson, Luther Beck. 7 Class of 1968 Gary Harder President COLORS: Burgundy and white Elden Apling Vice President FLOWER: White Carnation with Burgundy Sandra Palmer Secretary MOTTO: What we are today is God’s gift to us; what wre become tomorrow is our gift to God.

The play was a hilarious com- edy about a city family undertaking the trials and tribulations of a chicken ranch. Our Seniors executed this comedy with an ef- fective style and highly laughable enjoyment. Seniors back the OHHS football team in Pep Week ... Penant, rings, plays, exchanging pictures, caps and gowns all evolve out of ... Senior year starts off with Senior Portraits ... But some Seniors are still picture shy____ Seniors cheerfully back our team at pep rally ... Senior remembrances. 29 OH receives exchange student from Peru In January, 1968 Federico Reinel of Lima, Peru, became Oak Harbor High School’s second South American exchange student. Federico, called “Fred” by his friends, enrolled as a senior in chemistry, geometry, Algebra II, and sociology courses for his three months’ visit. Sponsored by the International Fellowship Corpo- ration and the Rotary Club, Fred has made his home here with Rotarian James Teagarden and family. When Fred returns to Peru and graduates from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Schol in Lima next December, Fred will pursue chemical or industrial engineering in college. 30 I CLASS OFFICERS: Mrs. Young, advisor; Robert Henry, president; John Wood, vice-presi- dent; Judy Simpkins, secretary; Marge Hockin, treasurer.

Mel Hoover Ron Obee Carol oung Mr. Melvin Hoover, who has been teaching here for eight years, is originally from Oak Harbor. He is a graduate of Salem-Oak Harbor High School and Bowling Green State University. His hobbies consist of golf and some woodwork- ing. He abhors the long hair that the boys are wearing.

This marks his sixth year of teaching at Oak Harbor. His hobbies consist of photography, electronic projects, and sports.

You’ve got a point there. 47 Mrs. Teagarden attended Fremont Ross High School and Notre Dame College in Cleveland, Ohio. She has taught here for eleven years. Her hobbies are knitting and sewing. She likes to see a lot of snow, and dislikes to see people chewing gum. Her idea of an ideal student is one'Who is pleasant, both in and out of class, who participates in a reasonable number of extra-curricular activities without neglecting his school work, and who is not afraid to work in order to improve his understanding of a subject. Mary Teagarden Would you believe a googol? Math presents a challenge Charles Smith Mr. Smith became a math teacher after grad- uating from high school in Carey, Ohio, and at- tending several colleges. This is Mr. Smith’s eleventh year here, and we hope he has found it as rewarding as have his students. Among his hobbies are woodworking, camping, and hunt- ing. His likes cover a wide area ranging from industrious students, chili. Bonanza, and out- dors, to math. His idea of an ideal student is something to think about: one who studies now the way he’ll wish he had ten years from now. 48 Once upon a time there were three bears ... Glendora Sorg M rs. Sorg attended Bowling Green High School; and later. Bowling Green State University. This is her fifth year teaching here at Oak Harbor. Her hobbies are reading and traveling. She likes her family, her home, Oak Harbor as a town to live in, all children, and most adults. False pretenses and dishonesty in any form are her only dislikes. She prefers an inquisitive student; one who has respect for himself and for the rights of others, who thinks and acts for himself intelligently, has self-control, and appreciates his parents, school, and teachers. Our new business teacher, Mrs. Wegner, graduated from high school in Centerville, a small town near Dayton, Ohio. She is also a graduate of Ohio State University. Among Mrs. Wegner’s interests are swimming, reading, traveling, and spectator sports such as football, basketball, baseball, and car races. All Mrs. Wegner’s dislikes seem to point in the direction of the kitchen; she says she hates to cook. The ideal student, according to Mrs. Wegner, is one who studies and gets good grades, but still finds time for extra-curricular activities. Sharon Wegner Business skills developed 49 Only 42 mistakes a minute! More emphasis on Carey Oakley Martha Baumgartner Mrs. Martha Baumgartner, a graduate of Montgomery Township High School in Wayne, Ohio, has been teaching for ten years. She received her college education at Bowling Green State ( diversity. Her hobbies are sewing and caring for her husband and four children.

De gree at Otterbein College. Mr. Oakley has taught for four years at Oak Harbor. Among his interests are reading, music, and athletics.

After graduation she attended Ohio State University. This is her first year of teaching at Oak Harbor. Her hobbies consist of reading, playing the piano, writing, and square dancing. She likes to direct plays, act, and know what people are like. She dislikes people w'ho have an ax to grind.

He followed through his education by graduating at Bowling Green State University. Mr. Smith has taught here for sixteen years. His hobbies are reading and traveling. His likes are people and governments that are aware of and ready to assume responsibilities and adopt new programs. His dislikes are prejudice, injustice, and unfair criticism directed at people in authority. An ideal student to Mr. Smith is one who makes the most of his abilities, is generally co-operative, and does not become discouraged or resentful when things do not go his way. You like that passage, huh Charlie? 50 communication Mrs. Mensing, an alum- na from Burnham High School in Sylvania, Ohio, has been teaching at Oak Harbor for six years. She attended the University of Toledo. Reading, knitting, and sewing make up her hobbies. Like all females, she enjoys eating “good food,” and like all teach- ers, she abhors undisci- plined children. An inquisitive ambitious per- son is her concept of an ideal student. Patricia Mensing I still say the butler did it. Are you sure you're not supposed to be in French class? After graduating from Syca- more High School, Mrs. Grum- mel went on to Heidelberg Col- lege, obtaining her Bachelor of Arts degree. This is her first year here, but since teenagers are one of her special likes, she is doing well. Among her dis- likes are dishonesty and hair in the eyes. Heading Mrs. Grum- mel’s list of hobbies are swim- ming, boating, music, and dramatics. Her idea of an ideal student is one who is prompt with all work, does whatever he can with his assignments, is dependable in extra-curricular activities, and is honest and straight- forward, both in and out of class. Helen Grummel 51 Students study past to present Chris Boehlefeld After graduating from Cleveland West Technical High School. Mr. Boehlefeld attended Wittenberg University in Springfield. Ohio. Among his many hobbies are chess, mu- sic, the Far East, swimmnig, and golf. As some students have found out, his dislikes include boys with hangs and chewing gum during class. Hustle, enthusiasm, and courage head his list of special likes. Mr. Boehlefeld’s ideal student is logical, attentive, neat, well-groomed, polite, hard-working, and respectful. George Millie Mr. George Millie graduated from both Lakeside High School and Bowling Green State University. After teaching here at our school for eleven years Mr. Millie feels that the ideal student is one who likes school, knows what he’s here for, and respects his school and his teachers. His pastimes include reading, painting, and watching football on television. Genoa is the hometown of Mrs. Elizabeth Young, who attended both Find- lay College and the University of Toledo. After teaching here since 1945, Mrs. Young’s concept of the ideal student is one who cares enough to come to class with his assignments prepared. Mrs. Young’s hobbies are reading and traveling. She likes good friendships and dislikes flimsy excuses for school absences. They called her Cleo, for short. That's right, people! 52 Learning by doing Mr. Heintz is a graduate of I)e Graff Local High School in Logan County and continued his educa- tion at Ohio State Univer- sity where he graduated in 1963. After teaching for five years, Mr. Heintz says he likes his Senior home- room and dislikes hall duty. Llrry Heintz The ideal student, accord- ing to Mr. Heintz, is one who is courteous, well- groomed, and willing to work for a grade rather than just take what he can get. Among Mr. Heintz’s hobbies are football, water skiing, and volleyball. Mr. Roger Carpenter, a graduate of S-OH, studied at Bowling Green State University be- fore teaching here for eight years. Among his hobbies are photography and carpentry. Mr. Carpenter feels that the ideal student is one who does his homework, is attentive in class, and tries to think for himself. Too many cooks spoil the soup; good thing they’re making cream sauce. Goshen Union High W School at Damascus, Ohio. WF She went to Kent State -c B University for five quar- ters, but graduated at Ohio State University. This is Mrs. Ruff’s first year Jean Ruff teaching here at OH. Her hobbies are sewing and reading. She disapproves of people who say they will do something and then don’t follow through. A student who accepts the idea that some of the re- sponsibility of learning rests with him is her idea of a model student. Roger Carpenter 53 Yea, but are you sure it will fly? Safety, fitness, and Charles Shuff Gary Ricker Upon graduation from Mount Vernon High School, Mr. Shuff continued his education at the University of Cincinnati. Boat- ing, water skiing, and all ath- letics rate high on his list of hobbies. After three years of teaching at Oak Harbor High, Coach Shuff finds he prefers stu- dents who try to do what he teaches, and dislikes those who think they know more about driving than the instructor. An ideal student? Why, one who doesn’t put him in the ditch with the driver education car, of course! Coach Ricker graduated from Liberty Center High School and the University of Toledo. After teaching at Oak Harbor for three years, Mr. Ricker enjoys winning football games and dislikes losing them. His hobbies center around, naturally, sports. 54 healthful habits at OHHS Oak Harbor’s girl’s Phys. Ed. teacher attended Newton Falls High School and graduated from Kent State University. Mrs. Robinson’s hobbies include swimming, knitting, and camping. She dislikes vanilla ice cream and dis- organization; her likes, naturally, are everything hut her dislikes. The three main characteristics in Mrs. Robinson’s ideal student include one who is happy, can tolerate mistakes made by himself and others, and one who, regardless of his capabilities, is willing to accept compliments and criticism and tries to do just a little better. Sue Robinson 55 Viola Little Mrs. Little is a graduate of Tiffin Co- lumbian High School and Bowling Green State University. In her first year here we find that her hobbies include water-color painting, reading, and roller skating. She also likes the Impressionist, Post-Impres- sionist, and Expressionist painters, and her students. Grading art expressions is her only dislike. Creativity and originality put to work I see we have a Picasso fan in the class. 56 Outstanding talents proudly displayed Bonnie Haaser Harry Blausey Mrs. Haaser is an alumna of S-OH and also a graduate of Bowling Green State University. This is Mrs. Haaser’s first year here at Oak Harbor High School, but she taught previously at the Carroll Town- ship School. Mrs. Haas- er’s hobbies are bowl- ing and collecting cups and saucers. An ideal student, says Mrs. Haaser, is one who lis- tens, works hard and is courteous. A graduate of Har- ris-Elmore High School and Ohio State Univer- sity, Mr. Harry Blausey is just beginning his teaching here. Tennis, golf, gardening, and boating make up his hobbies. He likes fine food, good concerts, and the attitude of the community toward the band. His greatest dislikes is when the band has worked diligently for a half-time performance and it rains for that game. His ideal student is one who thinks through an idea, expresses himself easily, and works hard toward his goal without grumbling. The motto that they should believe in is: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Students prepare for careers It’s not that we don't trust you Bill; it’s just that we don’t trust you. According to Doctor William Ramsey, superin- tendent of Penta County, this school was formed to “recognize the student’s potentialities, to unloose his creative powers, and to stimulate his initiative.” The opportunities opened to students by the new equipment, special training, and job experience at Penta County enable them to enter business or in- dustry directly after graduation. Among the broader fields offered are agriculture, business education, distributive education, home economics, and trade and industrial education. Those who wish to con- tinue in their education may attend Penta Techni- cal College. But preparing for a career is not necessarily monotonous and uneventful, as can be seen on this page and the next. 58 at Penta County Who wants to play co-pilot today? The first guy who blows that horn is dead. 59 v Tr Rulh Heniminger Our new study hall monitor, Mrs. Heniminger, is a graduate of Harris- Elmore High School. Among Mrs. Hem- minger’s hobbies is reading. She likes a courteous, well-mannered student and dislikes cheaters and troublemakers. According to Mrs. Heniminger, the ideal student uses wisely his study hall time and does not disturb anyone else who wants to study. Just nudge me when the bell rings. Time put to work out of class Am Ton Candid Camera? Our librarian. Miss Frank, graduated from Delta High School in Delta, Ohio. After she had earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Rachelor of Science in Education, Miss Frank continued her studies in library science at Bowl- ing Green State University. The hob- bies which Miss Frank enjoy are read- ing, knitting, and golfing. An ideal Darlene Frank student is conscientious, cooperative, and courteous. He works up to—if not beyond—his particular level of ability and is a self-disciplined individual. They’re trying—very trying! 60 Yearbook provides memories Sandy Palmer, business manager. remember when Linda Puestow, editor. Some advisors have all the breaks! To provide the school with a yearbook that will be enjoyed for many years to come is the purpose of the Yearbook Staff. In 1048 OH published their first yearbook, which was a Senior Memory Book, available to seniors only. The staff then consisted of 25 students. The staff now has 35 members and provides a yearbook for all. Row I: J. Starkey, asst, mgr.; J. Hcmminger, J. Williams. Row 2: S. Dolance, academics cd.; S. Manke, classes cd.; S.

Each fall staff members attend the Journalism Workshop at Bowling Green State University. This year the Rocket has a circulation of 670. The staff editors suggest assignments to the editor for for their reporters, write head- lines, and edit articles. Rocket typists are J. Kaiser, C. Meinke, D. Moore, M.

The Homecoming mum sale is spon- sored each year by these girls. The group was started in 1946 with twenty-five girls and has in- creased to fifty. There are many challenges in G.A.A., but one might find surviving initiation the most challenging of all. Row 1: M. Hockin, publ. sec.; L. Freimark, treas.; L Axe, pres.; J. Priesman, v. pres.; S.

Future Teachers of America have helped to improve our school by having the show case built in the hall of the main entrance. The members have worked hard selling pens and Easter candy to purchase it. They have a banquet in the spring and invite all the teachers. FTA was organized in 1957 to in- terest high school stu- dents in the teaching pro- fession.

Office Girls and Teacher Typists learn through experience Office girls contribute much time to the school office and learn much in return. They work before and after school and through the school day mimeographing for teachers, answering telephone calls, typ- ing and delivering the absence list, and running many other errands. This is excellent ex- perience for girls who wish to be secretaries. Office experience began in August for some girls. Sandy Simpkins is shown here working on schedules. Teacher typ- ists work dili- gently typing tests, quizzes, and papers for teachers. Through their duplicating service they learn how to use stencils, ditto, and du- plicating ma- chines. Row 1: L.

Citizens of Buckeye State used more than a week last June to campaign, caucus in Federal- ist and Nationalist party headquarters, elect in primary and general elections, and perform civil duites on city, county, and state levels. Oak Harbor delegates to Boys’ State, Wayne Siefke and Keith Herbert, served as city police chief and municipal court judge, re- spectively. Linda Puestow and Marsha Wikle, BGS delegates operated with the city health department and State Board of Education. Staters received a valuable insight into the workings of Ohio’s government with the knowl- edge that young people must understand more about over government for it to remain demo- cratic. School functions find Ushers busy Our country’s future leaders, Buckeye Girls’ Boys’ State A person who escorts guests to their seats and one who passes out programs is a defi- nition of an usher. This is exactly what these girls do. They can be found at such functions as the Senior Play, All-School Play, Herbie Awards Night, and Winter Concert. They play a very important part in such activities and help eliminate much confusion. Row 1: J. Hemminger. Head Usher. Row 2: S. Bartell, B. Sprouse. Row 3: J. Kaiser, S. Dolance. Row 4: C.

Our Majorettes Besides marching for football half-time shows, parades, and pep meetings, our high-stepping major- ettes provided entertainment with various dances and routines during the half-time of many of our home basketball games for the first time this year. These four lively girls spent many hours planning, practicing, and polishing routines for public enjoy- ment. As an added feature this year, seven-year old Kathy Ihde joined the ranks as mascot for the march- ing band. This talented young lady twirled for two football shows, and during those shows added a great deal of sparkle and audience appeal.

Under the third year direction of Head Coach Charles Shuff, the Rockets of Oak Harbor High Schol compiled a very impressive 8-2 won-lost record during the 1967 football season. Pride, hard work, and team spirit combined with experience and ability produced one of the best teams in Oak Harbor’s history. In the Sandusky Bay Conference, our squad finished in second place, losing only to Fremont St. Joe in the second annual “mud bowl.” In the last game of the season, the mighty Rockets bounced back after their loss to St. Joe to beat Genoa and win the “Celestial Trophy” awarded to the winner of the Rocket-Comet game. Many members of the squad received post-season rewards and were chosen to the All-Sandusky Bay Conference teams. In addition, Elden Apling was named to the All-Northwestern Ohio team. All in all, it was a very good year for Rocket football. HEAD COACH CHARLES SHUFF OH Gridders complete successful season S. B.C. Football Accomplishments W. Siefke—1st def. and offensive end E.

The Rockets found themselves on the short end of the score in their first sixteen games. Rut things changed in their last regular season game. Facing arch rival Fremont St. Joe, the Rockets fought their way to an exciting 68-67 home court victory.

Our cheer- leaders are a very proud bunch of girls—proud of their school, of their team, and of their student body. It is this pride that keeps them full of pep and willing to disregard personal problems in order to lead the student body to hack their respective teams. This part of their high school lives will be remembered as great fun and great responsibility. FRESHMEN: R. Bensch, G. Herbert, K. Rahm. Bot- tom: B. Lau. RESERVE: J. Knieriem, S. Williams, F.
