Although the events of people's lives will never again seem as interesting as when they occurred, it still gives them a great pleasure to be able to look back over them. We know that everyone cherishes his school days as some of the best days ot his life. Therefore, we have tried to put into this book as many of these events as possible. lf this is accomplished, we shall know we have reached our goal and our work has not been in vain.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As we look back into the past, twelve years ago, we find that on September 3, I935, fifty-nine stu- dents started to school at Olney and Lark Schools. Of this total, thirty-nine of the students started at Olney School and the remaining twenty students started at Lark School. Of this total of fifty-nine students there were only thirty-three who began their Freshman year at Olney. Beginning our Freshman year was like turning over a new leaf, it was all a different experience for all of us. We were all busy choosing subiects which would help us in fitting ourselves for a position in later life. VVe never thought then, and also going back to the first grade of school, of how many of the same members of cur class would be left with us on the r-ight of our graduation from High School. On the night of May 27, 'I947, we, after dwin- dling down to a class consisting of seventeen graduates, passed through the doors of Olney High School, never to return again as students, though we will return again in our memories of our school days, both happy and unhappy. Cpening the book of the past, we recall the laughter and gaiety that was present the night of our Senior Play, A Date With Judy , and the wcnderful performance displayed by Betty Taylor, cast as Judy Foster, and Howard Adkins, cast as Oogie Pringle, also the marvelous cast that as- sisted in making this farce a success. In our midst, we have a King and a Queen, known and loved by the students and alumni of Olney High School. Popularity King, Howard Ad- kins, Popularity Queen, Mary Ann Mauder. The Annual Popularity Dance was held May 9, 1947. Their attendants were Patricia Allred, Patricia Nagy, Ruth Dunmyer, Olis Sutter, Paul Kimball, and Bill Moulton. I Robert King, who is Valedictorian, and Mary Swartz, who is Salutatorian, receive much credit from our class for the good grades worked for by them, to qualify for such high honors. We are all proud of Olis Sutter, one of the captains of our basketball team, who made all- county guard. We are also very proud of the other members of our class that did a wonderful iob on our team. With the money we received from our Junior Jitneys, Junior Dances ,and our biggest event of our Junior year, which was Double or Nothing , we were able to give the Seniors of '46 a success- ful Banquet and Prom, held at the Maumee River Yacht Club. The former students whom we were fortunate in having with our class within the' past four years are as follows: Barbara Balusik, after finishing her Junior year, surprised our class by not coming back to grad- uate. She is now working at the Toledo Hothouse Cooperative Association. Violet B-:nose left us in her Sophomore year to work at the White Tower Hamburger. Leona Boose, whose name has been changed to Mrs. Jack Whittier, left us in her Freshsman year. Jeanne Farmer moved away from Olney in her Sophomore year to attend Waite High School. Eileen Sutherland, after finishing her Freshman year, went to work at Save Electric Company. Robert Ames finished his .lunior year and then joined the Army. Michael Elekonich left after his Freshman year and then attended Clay High School. Fritz Everhardt finished his Sophomore year and is now working at Larro Feed Mill. Richard Everhardt left Olney after his Sopho- more year and is now working at Fassett Sohio Gasoline Station. Jim Fredericks left in his Freshman year and started work. Donald Hall left after his Junior year and is now serving in the Navy. Don Holland left in his Sophomore year and is now serving in the Marines. Joe Selmek left in his Junior year and started to work. As I bring this Class History to an end, the memories, which are the memories that will last, will be treasured in our minds and hearts, will never be forgotten by the Class of '47.

VALEDICTORY We Have the Tools, Now to Use Them It is my desire to speak tonight upon our class motto, We Have the Tools, Now to Use Them . Although you, my audi- ence ,may have varying ideas as to what this means, to the class of T947 it has one definite significance, The basic fundamental too's for adulthood are acquired in the first eighteen years of our lives. This class, having secured the fundamental too's, is about to enter upon a new phase of life in which it will be nccessary to make use of these basic principles. Tonight, we are passing through the door which ioins these two phrases of lifeg namely, the period of preparation and the period of application. Many pleasant, happy, and worth- while times in this dear old school building are being left behind. The future, however, holds greater experiences for us, whether they be pleasant or sad. Although we cannot foretell these experienres, we hope that we have prepared well enough to meet them successfully. As we pass through this door, we rely upon our instruc- tions to aid us, iust as the plumber depends upon his knowl- edge and tools as he enters through your door. Some of the members of this class may go on to college and acquire additional preparation by a method similar to the one we have just completed, Others may enter immediately into their life ambitions, where their training will be put to use. How- ever, no matter what we do, we shall forever be acquiring new knowledge, As long as we live, we shall continue to learn. ln order to see the value of this motto we must know these tools. They can be summed up briefly as: knowledge of subject matter, ability to shoulder responsibility and leader- ship, character, social etiquette, and cooperation. Knowledge of subject matter is gained by studying the lessons assigned to us. As we graduate, it is necessary io have a general knowledge of many things in a:lditio:1 to extensive knowledge of one particular subiect or field. This is our most important tool, but it alone cannot bring success. ! bfily to shoulder responsibility and leadership must natur- ally be acquired, even to be successful in school. As we proceed through the grades, more and more reliability is heaped upon our shoulders until, in our final years it has increased considerably. lf we can handle well this trust- worthiness which is bestowed upon us, then we have improved ourselves. High school responsibilities are extremely minute when compared with those of later life. This tool contrcls To a certain degree the rapidity with which to meet success. Character is the total sum of the distinguishing traits of a person. lt is developed in school by association with other students. Although a bad personalty can easily be obtained, we have tried to develop a good character. lt is important to have desirable traits if we wish to hold profitable positions and succeed. Social etiquette is extremely necessary if we are to con- duct ourselves properly at social affairs and to be a social success. This etiquette is gained by attending school dances, banquets, and prams. Last, but far from least, is cooperation. In school we have learned that it is necessary to cooperate in order to accom- plish anything. This was proven by the conductance of class activities, and by the publishment of the annual. We have lecrned to cooperate in school. Now, as we enter into adult- hood, we shall have this tool to aid us. ltll of these tools have been acquired while we were in school. We are, therefore, prepared for adult life, provided we remember to use our tools. This graduation means a great deal to us, the graduates of '47. Our diploma will be of much assistance when we seek a fob or vocation. It will help us in finding success. As we look back, it has been a long way, filled with ioy and sorrow. The way ahead, however, is even longer and harder. We are thankful to our parents for all that they have done to set us on the right path. It is through their understanding and willingness to aid us that we have achieved this advancement in life. We are grateful to our teachers for the patience and con- sideration which they have shown us. Through their untiring aid we have made our preparation. Although at times we thought they were inconsiderate, we appreciate them now more than ever. lt brings an immense sadness to leave our beautiful school building, never again to return as students of our dear old blue and gold. Tonight we are about to embark upon our new phase of life. We, the graduating class of 1947, will undoubtedly be separated, each undertaking his place in this world. Success will be difficult, but it can be accomplished if we will remem- ber the tools: knowledge of subiect matter, ability to shoulder responsibility and leadership, character, social etiquette, and cooperation. Now as we are upon the commencement of o new phase of life, it will be our duty to put them into em- ployment. As we have sown, so we shall reap. Let us hope that we have sown well, so that we may reap the harvest of success. 18, Q - -- 'M SALUTATORY lUsing Our Foundation of Knowledge in a New Worldl Parents, Teachers, Classmates and Friends: We meet again in this auditorium after a yeor's separation. We wish to thank all of you who are here tonight, for making this graduation cere- money possible. I feel it is an honor to speak be- fore such a fine audience as this. We are another very happy graduating class, preparing to use our foundation of knowledge in another new, but familiar world. I mean new, in the sense of entering a wcrld which is new to those of us who are graduating. During these con- tinuous years cf hard studying, we have been prepared, trained, and taught by our teachers and parents in certain subfects, which will be a great he'p to us, this graduating class of 47 . Vvhen I sfy we will be entering a familiar world, I mean this. Vie have seen how other people have experienced life and we feel as though we are well enough prepared to confront' the same or similar experiences. We have a very good idea of what to expect in the future, and each one of us will have to meet that future in his own way. Some of us will continue our schooling by advancing into college, some of us will begin working in factories, some of us will be going into business, others will be staying at home, and others will be thinking of establishing homes of our own. But no matter into what field we go, we shall learn the true meaning of responsibility. From the time we were in the first grade, step by step, we have been preparing to assume that responsibility. We have had our time of youth, gaiety, and fun. We also have had our times of distress, ag- gravation and hard work. But we all knew that in order to gain a place of leadership, character, and service, we must strive to prepare ourselves. It has been not only our teachers, who have helped us in these years to step upon this platform tonight, but our parents, who have encouraged us to continue our school days, so that we might be prepared to step upon still a higher platform-a platform to success and destination. We thank you parents and teachers from the bottom of our hearts for the patience and many efforts which you have given us during these past years. Many of us will soon find that your forbearance and many trying endeavors have prepared us for the tremendous task which lies before us. The school bell will ring again next fall for all of our under-graduates, but not for those who are wearing this ensemble of graduation-these caps and gowns. Instead we will be responding to a different kind of bell. A bell warning us to be prepared for the good and bad things which will confront us in th?s new stage of life. A few of us may become great leaders in this world while a few others may not. We have made ourselves what we are. If we work hard enough, we shall win what we are striving for in the years to come. To- night is the last night in which this entire class will be united. We shall meet our classmates from time to time but never again as a complete unit. Friends in the audience, after our separation tonight, we will become one of you. It will be we who will be entering your pursuits of work and pleasures, it will be we who will be joining your scci-:I and business life. We hope you will accept us as your assistants. s I would like to recite a poem at this time, a few verses from a parody from Longfellow's A Psalm of Life . Not beginning, and not ending, Is our school of life today, But to pause, our memories blending With our hopes along the way. Now a future, ever pleasant, Beckons from a past that's dead, We must leave this living present, Knowing not what waits ahead. let us, then, be up and speaking, For our program lies in wait, Welcome, friends, some pleasure seeking, Hear and see us graduate.

A wonderful, intelligent, miraculous, stupendous, considerate and dear class, indeed, but somehow since the class of 47 graduated, a terrible thing has been discovered. ln the eyes of the law, this terrible thing has been discovered. ln the eyes of the law, tlzis terrible thing would be considered a crime, and it was a crime, a very unscrupulous and horrible crime. On the cold and stormy, dark night, of April 28, 1957, Mr. Loudenslager was working late on some six weeks' exam papers. All of a sudden a bolt of lightning slashed outside of his office window. Mr. Loudenslager fell crashing to the floor. He glanced under his desk. A horrified expression replaced the painful one that disfigured his countenance. Much to his horror he made this awful discovery. There, right before his eyes, lay a mutilated and twisted obiect. Who dunnit? Who put it there? Who put the big wad of gum under Mr. Loudenslager's desk? lmmedistrly, Detective Shylock Edwin Weiland was called in to investigate the crime. After fourteen long hours of examining the mutilated obiect, Detective Shylock Wiland discovered only tvito clues. Clue 1, the gum, by touching it, was found to be ten years old lpossibly put there April 28, 19471. Clue 2, the gum, after piercing the outer hard crust, was VVrigley's Spearmint gum. After fourteen and one-half hours of constant concentration, Detective Shylock Weiland, using inductive reasoning, reasoned that a female mutilated the gum, and there was only one girl in 1947 who chewed Wrigley's Spearmint constantly. That girl was Miss Ann Mander, the most popular woman in American today. Miss Ann Mouder was the suspect! The gum was put up as Exhibit A . So as not to touch the exhibit, Detective Weiland sawed a large section from Mr. Loudenslager's new maple desk. The next morning, Judge Bill Moulton sent out a warrant for the arrest of Miss Mauder. Judge Bill Moulton used to run a burlesque show, but his conscience got the better of him, so he quit and turned to law and iustice. Judge Moul- ton sent two of his ablest and strongest people on the force, Sergeant Bruce Reimer and Policewoman Gerry Ruch. Sergeant Bruce Reimer used to model for men's shave lotion ads because his face was so smooth fthe reason for that was that he didn't have any whiskers yetj. When Bruce's beard finally appeared, they fired Bruce, so he became a policeman. . CLASS OF 47 PROPHECY-Continued At 2:30 P. M., Miss Mauder, the suspect, accompanied by her most faithful maid, Ruth Dunmyer, was brought into court. Miss Dunmyer used to be the richest woman in America, but the business world went bankrupt, so Miss Dunmyer was completely broke. Miss Dunmyer took the iob as Miss Ann Maude-:r's faithful maid. flt has been rumored that Miss Dunmyer will quit her iob and become the wife of the richest cotsup distributor in the worldt. The court was called to order, Miss Mauder was brought on trial for the wicked crime of putting gum under Mr. Louclenslager's desk. Miss Mauder wasn't worried about being found guilty be- cause c'lI of her old classmates had prominent positions in the court and city. Judge Moulton was her dearest and most faithful friend. Pat Stanger, Virginia Woicinski, Phyllis Fel- hober, and Howard Adkins all occupied four seats in the jury box. Pot Stzanger had become the president of the S'ear's Company, and the proprietor of the Grcveyards, Inc. Virginia Woicinslzi w.:-s the tallest, the sweetest and fattest woman in the United States. She used to be with the circus, Phyllis Felhaber was the most popular pianist in America, but she finally gave up her career to become the wife of an All Americ'n Baseball Player, who used to go to Lake High School lyou all know his name?D. Howard Adkins has been voted Glamour Boy , because he is so beautiful, gorgeous, handsome, pretty and lovely. He is a iuror because it is a different hobby. Then there was Mr, Robert King, another old friend of Miss Mauder's. Mr. King is also famous for muscles and wcight lifting. Mr. King could prove that Miss Mauder never purchased a package of Wrigleys Spearmint gum in her whole life. No, Miss Mauder wasn't in the least worried. Judge Moulton called the court to order. The clerk of the court, the brilliant Mary Swartz, called the first witness to the stcnd. Miss Swartz is now the wife of Mr. Ray Lewis, as if we didn't know that it would happen. The clerk called out, Will Professor Dale Ellis of Deflunk College please take the stand? The clerk went on, Do you promise to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Pro- fessor Ellis answered, I do! Professor Ellis used o be an opera singer, baritone, that is. Miss Betty Taylor, the most intelligent lawyer Miss Mauder could employ, said to the witness, Now, tell us exactly what you remember especially about Miss Mauder? Professor Ellis began, WelI, the only thing I can remember is that Miss Mauder was always chew- ing gum- . VVhot kind of gum? Miss Taylor interrupted. Wrigley's Spearmint gum! Professor Ellis indignantly an- swered. Thank you, Professor Ellis. Your witness, Miss Taylor said, as she handed Professor Ellis over to Mr. Olis Sutter, the toughest and the roughest Prosecuting Attorney in the business. He used to be chief coach of the Ohio State University, but he was such a wonderful and magnificent coach, that all the coaches in the United States became ieol- ous of him, so he had to retire and become a prosecuting attorney. After Professor Ellis wds grilled for quite a long time by Prosecuting Attorney Olis Sutter, Professor Ellis left the stand, and the second witness was called. Will Miss Pat Allred please take the stand? called the clerk. Do you promise to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so hclp you God? the clerk asked. I do! answered Miss All- red, who used to be a blues singer in the Stork Club, in New York City. Now, began Miss Taylor, Did you ever see my client, the accused Miss Mauder, chew gum? Miss Allred began, Well, you see- . Did you or did you notl shouted Miss Taylor. No! cried Miss Allred. That is all, thank you, Miss Allred. Your witness, Mr. Sutter. Miss Taylor breathed. Then Mr. Sutter began, Miss Allred, did you or did you not see Miss Mauder chewing two sticks of Wrigley's Spearmint gum on the night of April 28, I947? No! No! screamed Miss Allred. You did! shouted Mr. Sutter. I didn't! wailed Miss Allred. That is all, Miss AIlred, sighed Mr. Sutter. The iury will decide the case. The iury went into seclusion in the adjoining room. After long hours of tense waiting the iury came forth from the room with the decision. Well, said Judge Moulton, do you find the defendant, Miss Ann Mauder, guilty or not guilty? The iuror, Howard Adkins began. We find the defendant-- . Just then the door of the court room flung open, Wait! Wait! cried a woman that pushed her way through the gathered crowd. The woman was Miss Pat Nagy. Wait, wait with the verdict, I have a confession to make- I can't stand it any Iongerg I must confess! Miss Mauder isn't guilty, l am! The court gasped. I'm guilty. I put the gum under Mr. Loudenslager's desk the night of April 28, 1947. I put it there because there was no wastepaper basket around and I wanted to use the teIephone! Then you are the guilty one, Miss Nagy! Judge Moulton shouted. l sen- tence you to change your brand of chewing gum. I think Juicy Fruit is so-o-o-o-- much better! Court dismissed! By MISS PATSI NAGY lAny relation to any actual happening ten years from naw is purely intentionalt. CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior Class of 1947 of Olney High School, in Wood County, and the State of Ohio, being in sound mind and body, and of generous and courageous heart, do most sol- emnly cmd emphatically attest to leave our class will and testament to the Junior Class of 1948. Howard Adkins leaves his ability to play the drums, to Keith Hummon and Joan Poldyak. Patricia Allred bequeaths her ability to sing semi- ' classical music to Norma Jean Hurst and Rosalyn Metzger. Ruth Dunmyer wills her ability to play the clarinet To Beatrice Black and Bud Schnell, because they need it. Dale Ellis leaves his ability to buy a nice colorful car which very seldom runs, to both Jim Coy and Danny Warner. Phyllis Felhaber leaves her shapely legs and figure to Betty Good and Ruth Hirzel. Bob King leaves his intelligence and muscles to Rodney Poling and Kenneth Moulton, in hope that they will use them. y Mary Ann Mauder leaves her popularity to Pauline Frederick and Barbara Ulahel. Use Sun-Tan powder, girls. Bill Moulton leczves his ability to get A's without studying to Bill Nagy and Paul Kimball. Patsi Nagy leaves her ability to get along with boys to Donna Jean Brandburg and Mary Lou Flamion. Bruce Reimer leaves his good looks and ability to spend money on girls to Jack Allred and Joel Davis. Geraldine Ruch leaves her ability to roll her eyes at boys and to borrow salt and pepper shakers to Audrey Schreiber and Rose Ann Wahl. Patricia Stanger leaves her slaying walk and abil- ity to fast talk boys to Norma Lee Croak and Ruth Lark. Olis Sutter leaves his ability to love girls and leave them to Howard Kurfis and Vincent Yancey and to keep his true love true. Mary Swartz wills all but one of her good-looking sailors to Doris Ann Snyder and Marian Forche, because she's a Pond's engaged girl now. Virginia Woicinski leaves her glamour and her ability to attract all those of the opposite sex to Thelma Brossia and Thelma Hirzel. Betty Taylor leaves her book worm ability to Phyllis Bodi and Don Sondergeld. Edwin Weiland leaves his shyness to Robert Adkins. The entire Senior Class leaves its ability to get high grades in Civics and its special privileges to the entire Junior Class. The Senior Class of '47 appoints the faculty to execute this will so that there will be no first degree murders, no quarrels, and no hatred. Witnesses: U. R. Nutts O. U. Dear M. l.

O l is Sutter Vice-President ..... , ,..,..,.. Bob King Secretary .. . .Mary Swartz Treasurer . ,. . . . .. . , Patsi Nagy Reporter . .. . , . Betty Taylor Another important day of this year was the beginning of the school year when our class rings arrived. That day the Seniors spent polishing their beautiful class rings. We gave a skating party in the beginning of the year and it was a success. Our Halloween Dance was marked by the appearance of a mysterious fortune teller. And then rehearsals for our Senior Play began. The play A Date With Judy was one of the best plays given here. The next important event was the Senior's day off. We went down to LaSalle 8. Koch's to have our pictures taken. We then decided to spend the rest of the day in pleasure. LaSalle's kindly gave us tickets fcr a movie. We spent January, February, and March working on the annual. We wanted this annual to be a success. The best year of our school life is drawing to a close. We hope next year's class and all coming classes will be the same. JUNIOR CLASS At the beginning of the school year thirty-five people enrolled in the Junior Class, fifteen boys and twenty girls. Since then we have lost two members, Ray Howard and Barbara Yhonke lMrs. Warren Keattj. The class officers that were elected at the first class meeting were as follows: President . ,... ...,. ........ . . , Paul Kimball Vice-President Harold Schnell Secretary Danny Warner Treasurer Phyllis Bodi Reporter . . Mary Lou Flamion Sponsor. ., H. . ., .. ,. . , . Mrs. John Cox The Juniors sponsored the following: Junior Jitneys on every other Friday after school, Sweet Heart Swing with Milo Barrett and his orchestra, scheduled for February 28, was postponed until March 14, because of the basketball tournament, Rangers Round-up, a dance at which records were played after the basketball games, and a Junior mystery Play called The Clutching Claw , which was held on A ril 18. P The publishing of the Observer was turned over to the Juniors in January. Beatrice Black, editor of the Observer and Phyllis Bodi, feature article writer, were guests at the informal luncheon in the Crystal Room, to hear Elizabeth Woodworth talk. We are now working very hard to earn money for the Junior Senior Banquet and Prom, which is to be given May 26 at the Womans' Club. SOPHOMORE CLASS We opened our school year with the election of officers, which resulted as follows: President ..,.. . ,. . . Tom Schnell Vice-President Richard Mohn Secretary ..,... .. Dan Sieving Treasurer... .. . . Theresa Coy Reporter . . ..... , . Kathy Balusik Our first proiect was a paper drive which turned out to be very successful. After this came other things, such as selling refreshments at the home basketball games, and sponsoring the Hoosier Cornhusk- ers on February 21. l Forty students have enrolled in the Sophomore Class during the school ,year. We lost the following students: Don Clark, Christ Francis, Lavonne Smithers, Donna Steveson, Robert Webb, and John Woicin- ski. The following were' enrolled as new students: Jim Reinhart from Robinson School, Donna Pringle from Gulf Memorial, and Robert Webb from Cincinnati. 37 FRESHMAN NEWS The Freshman Class of 1946-47 elected its officers for the year at the beginning of the first six weeks. They are as follows: President ......,.,., ....4, R ichard Kozina Vice-President ..s,., ...... E leanor Garner Secretary. ..... .,....,...,.,.. R obert Page Treasurer , ,,.., . ..r. ......,...,...... Carl Brunner Reporter ,.4...,..,....,.....,. 4,... 4....,,.. R o berta Sue Hohl Fortunately, we did not need a sergeant-at-arms. We were sorry to lose Charles Witty who has gone to Waite High School, but Jean Forche, who came from St. Thomas, has closed the gap that Charles had made. There were also two other new members, Frank Stevenson and Jean Baumgartner, who left soon after they came. At the beginning of the year the class was pretiy noisy and unorganized but with the passing of time, we have attained more cooperation and with new responsibilities to carry, we have quieted down some. There were not many class parties or gatherings because of all the other activities in and about the school, but we did have a successful skating party at Forest Park. We have some other activities planned for the latter part of the year, to make up for the absence of parfes in the early days of our Freshman year. These students were outstanding on the Honor Roll for part of the year: Eleanor Garner, Beatrice Ste- men, Eileen Elling, Roberta Sue Hohl, Barbara Karl ene, Robert Page, and Clair Simpson. EIGHTH GRADE NEWS Last September the eighth grade started with forty-two pupils. Later in the year Kenneth Renfer ioined us for a short time. Our adviser and Home Room teacher was Mrs. Howe. Soon after the Christmas vacation she resigned and went to the Toledo University to teach. Mrs. Sattler, a former teacher at Pemberville, took her place. We welcome her. Cur class officers are: President ...,....,.. ....,.., G erald Richardson Vice-President , .. ,. .....,... Bill Mauder Secretary .,.. ..,.. .... .,.. . , . Goretta Poston Reporter ......,. ..... ....,,.,...,....,,. , Rose Ann Senosky During the year the boys and girls had a spelling contest. The purpose was to see which group would win and get more hundreds. The loser was to give a party for the winner. The girls won, so the boys served refreshments at the party, which was held at Christmas time in Study Hall. The girls of the eighth grade played their tournament games with the seventh grade in basketball cnd volleyball. SEVENTH GRADE NEWS When school opened on September 3, there were seventeen boys, and seventeen girls. However, the second day John Hucthek left us.

Only three girls have maintained their perfect attendance records. They are Louise Busson, Fern Fran- cis, and Jo Ann Hott. Of the boys are Jim Brough and Thomas Pachelieff, with Ernest Hirzel only missing one day. The students having all A's and B's are Fern Francis, Don Simon, Robert Stotz, and Jeannine Sutter. 38 OLNEY SIXTH GRADE During the school year the Sixth Grade had a Halloween party, a Christmas party and a Valentine party.

Mrs. Newell left us this year because of ill health. During her absence, Mrs. Sondergeld taught. Now we have a permanent teacher who will be with us for the rest of the school year. Her name is Miss Fretts. We had a Halloween party, Christmas party, Valentine party, and an Easter party. We receive travel letters from Brazil, Texas, New York, Africa, India, China, Spain, Switzerland, Peru, and the Netherlands. We enioy reading them very much. 39 OLNEY SECOND GRADE Another step was taken in the March of Education on September third when twelve girls and nine- teen boys entered the second grade. Two pupns trom other schools were enrolled, Mildred Wells from Coy, and Bicky Russell from Millbury. lt took a few weeks to become adjusted to the new work. Keen interest and enjoyment became evident when they were able to carry out a project, through reading, dramatization, art work, singing, and writing about a chosen subject. In October the Indians were the center of interest. A costume parade through the first and second grades, exhibiting articles belonging to the vanishing Americans, brought a thrill to all. In November the Pilgrims were studied. In December the room was made attractive with art work, consisting of Christmas bells, trees, wreaths, and Santa Clauses. The Christmas party and gift exchange will long be remembered. January with its ice and snow suggested the building of an Eskimo village. February brought the birth- days of some of our great Americans. These were properly observed. In March the people of Holland re- ceived special attention.April and May, the springtime subjects, birds, flowers,and trees created an atmos- phere of beauty. During the year Becky Russell moved to Arizona and Donald Middling to Genoa, Ohio. Bonita Bishop Douglas Coy, Elaine Pachelieff, Dick Sutton have had a perfect attendance record. David Bush, Douglas Coy, Thomas Fisher, Bonnie Lou Hessick, Elaine Pachelieff, Betty Rideout, and John Reuss have been on the Honor Roll. Two boxes for the Junior Red Cross were filled and we contributed to the March of Dimes. The Reading Circle Books and other books, gifts of the Mother's Club, have been enjoyed by all. Eleven pupils received certificates for Reading Circle work. Section One read nine books in class and many other library books. Lorne Adkins was absent when the class picture was taken. OLNEY FIRST GRADE Forty happy children came to the first grade of Olney School September 3, 1946. There were seven- teen boys and twenty girls. They were dressed in crisp new dreesses and suits and their faces were shin- ing with anticipation and soap and water. It was still hard to sit still for such long periods of time, but the rests and the newness of the play- ground and so many new friends helped them to get through the first trying weeks. Then, too, they were learning to read and could soon read the beautiful books that the Mother's Club gave them. Drawing, coloring, numbers, reading, and writing became fun and although they worked hard there were many surprises and parties. The Halloween party was fun. The Christmas party was exciting. The birthday parties were happy times for all. After a long first year they are now ready to take their places in the second grade. Ao s I LARK SIXTH GRADE The following pupils have had perfect attendance so far: Lorne Ellis, Shirley Ann Everhardt, Billy Hammye, Martha Lark, Virginia Martin, Edith Mohn, Philip Riebe, George Rist, Nancy Roux and Donald Smith. I We were sorry to lose Nancy Roux the first of March. She went to Perrysburg to live in her new home. We have had an Honor Roll in the sixth grade all year. The pupils have been on in the following order: Edith Mohn, Nancy Roux, Virginia Martin and Lorne Ellis. They all have more A's than B's. Roy and George Rife should be given honorable mention. Edith Mohn was Sue in our Operetta, Shirley Ann Everhardt was Grandmother Bennett, Martha Lark was Neighbor Cat, Virginia Martin was the Maid, George Rife was Mr. Bennett, Roy Rife was Mr. Smith, and Nancy Roux was Mrs. Smith. In February we learned the Gettysburg Address. Lorne Ellis and George Rife said it perfectly. Edith Mohn goes to Olney every other Friday for Junior Band practice. She is playing a piccolo. We are very proud of her. , Lorne Ellis, Virginia Martin, and Edith Mohn played the piano and accordion at Rossford for the Red Cross program in February. LARK FIFTH GRADE Up to March 'l0, the following pupils had perfect attendance, Dick Armstrong, Tony Jarros and Wanda Marlow. There were only nine of us at the beginning of the year, but Nancy Heltsley and Donald Baranek have entered our class during the year. So far we haven't been able to have an Honor Roll in our class this year, but with plenty of drill the rest of the year we hope' to have one next year. Nick McCleary played Santa Claus in our Operetta at Christmas time. Evelyn Eberhardt was Mrs. Smith and Larry Henley was the messenger boy. Last fall we spent an afternoon at the Art Museum which we enioyed very much. We hope we can do so next year. At Christmas time we took some of our school money, which we earned by having scrap paper drives and saving sales stamps, and bought craft board. From the craft board we made letter holders for our mothers. LARK FOURTH GRADE There were eighteen pupils enrolled the first day of school in the Fourth Grade. Eleanor Jackson moved to our district during the summer from Glenwood School and joined our group. On September the fifth, Mary Martin moved from Birmingham School in Toledo to our district and entered our grade, now making a total of nineteen. Those who have had perfect attendance so far this year are Peggy Fry, Judy Hatt, Betty Hirzel, Millie Jaros, and Dickie Vykopal. Those who are on the Honor Roll are Millie Jaros, Bruce Clark, Carole Pringle, and Doris Boos. The mother of Joyce Yattaw, a fourth grade girl, gave us a very nice surprise party on Joyce's birth- day, February the thirteenth. Little heart-shaped cakes and ice cream were served to all in the room. Having such a large number of pupils in our room this year we found it necessary to have two boxes for our Valentine Party. Nearly everyone has completed the Reading Circle books which were very interesting. Miss Opperman has brought in many other books from the library and pictures to help us in our work. Those especially enioyed were the books and pictures on Indians from the Southwest. Small hand-woven rugs and two Navaio dolls made in the Indian School by two girls were much enioyed. It gave us an idea of how people in that Indian reservation dress. 41 i -l 'l L1 LARK THIRD GRADE Twenty-one children from Lark entered the Third Grade in September. A Edna Louise Schmitt, who came from St. John's Catholic School in Toledo, was the only newcomer in our grade. We are sorry that she could not stay with us the entire year but her parents found a new home in another part of Lucas County and she left us. Donna Jean Roux has also moved this last month to her new home near Perrysburg, where we wish her the best of luck in her new home and new school. Those who have been on the Honor Roll so far this year are: Carolyn Pavuk, Donna Jean Roux, and Barbara Marlow. The only one to have perfect attendance in the Third Grade is Barbara Marlow. Everyone in the Third Grade have finished reading the three books from the Reading Circle that were purchased by the Lark P. T. A. They were all enjoyed very much. Both grades together filled two Junior Red Cross boxes to be shipped over seas. We have also helped with the Junior Red Cross drive and the March of Dimes. LARK FIRST AND SECOND GRADES School opened with nineteen pupils in the First Grade. There were nine girls and ten boys. Richard Schmitt moved at the end of the first six weeks. Second Grade enrollment was three girls and eight boys, making a total of eleven. Larry Simon moved to Perrysburg, leaving ten in the Second Grade. We took a.trip to Toledo Zoo in October. We went in one of the Olney School busses. It was a warm, sunshiny day so we got to see all of the animals. We had many laughs from the antics of the monkeys. Nancy Chipley has had the best attendance for the year among the girls. Margie Frye was second with one and one-half days absent. David St. Johns has had the best attendance record for the year among the boys. Duane St. Johns was the second best. Nancy Chipley and Garnet Martin are tied for the most A grades in the second grade. Judy Stotz has the most A grades in Grade I. 42 1 I 4, CAFETERIA Cooks: Mrs. Theresa Ellis, Mrs. Florence Schreiber, Mrs. Revo Bieber HOME ECONOMICS KITCHEN 1 f M.,-fav' Howard Bill Adkins Moulton Gi at Jig Sow Table Saw Olis Suner at Drill Press Ed Weiland at Emery Wheels Bruce Reimer at Metal lathe Howard Adkins and Bill Nagy in Toolroom Donny Warner and Mr, lhnof oi Metal Lathe Dole Ellis at Bond Sow Don Kefflnger at Wood Lathe Paul Kimball at Joinler PHYSICS LABORATORY MECHANlCAL DRAWING CLASS TYPING CLASS LIBRARY THEME SONG Three cheers for Olney High School Our O.

Mrs. Mauder smiled as she said, l'll name her Mary Ann. Mary Ann it was, but as she grew older her friends and playmates called her, Annie , Annie attended St. Thomas Aquinas School her first eight years of school life. Annie entered Olney High School to complete her education. Annie has taken part in many activities of the school, including the Junior and Senior play. Her favorite pastimes are dancing, roller skating, and wrestling shows. Everybody who knows Annie loves her. On the day of March 5, 1947, Annie was voted by the stu- dents the most popular girl in the school. She was crowned Popularity Queen , May 9, 1947. Congratulations, Annie! POPULARITY KING It was a cold winter afternoon when a small bun jle was delivered to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Adkins. Much to their surprise it was a little baby boy. They decided to name him Howard Murlin. Howard is one of the few students of our class who attended Olney School all twelve years. He has taken port in many school activities, and is one of our outstanding basketball players. Howard's favorite sports include skating, dancing, and basketball. He has also been a great success playing the drums. The title is well deserved by him. Congratulations, Howard! A oun MAY QUEEN May, the month of flowers and spring, proves to be the month of ioy to Mr. and Mrs. Louis Nagy. For in that month they received their own flower and they called her Patricia Ruth. May 10, 1929 was their lucky day! Patsi's school life began in the first grade at Olney. She also attended the second grade year here. The next four grades were spent at McKesson School. As Patsi seemed to prefer different schools she spent her seventh and eighth grades at Good Shep- herd School, but the first is always the best. So Patsi returned to good old Olney for her high school edu- cation. Patsi is 5 foot 3 inches tall and weighs 125 pounds. She has eyes of blue and hair of golden brown. So in the month of her birth, Patsi reigns as the Queen of May . Patsi's favorite sports are skating, dancing, and horseback riding. 51 June Spencer, Patricia Allred Patricia Allred, June Spencer May Queen .......... Maid of Honor ..... May-Pole Dance .,.,,..

Joyce Felhaber Secretary ., , . Mary Lou Hohl Reporter . Charles Felhaber We have accomplished a lot this year. However, we were sorry to see our sponsor, Mrs. Howe, leave us. She did a great deal of hcrrd work for our library. At the beginning of the year, she as- signed each member a certain period to work in the library. The student librarian was to see that books were checked out and checked in. This was not all that the librarians had to do. They had to see that the books were kept in order and the tables were cleared off at all times. In February, the club decided to have a party. Mrs. Howe and Miss Anderson, the commercial teacher, were our guests. The new librarians were initiated after a delicious dinner. We enioyed ourslves very much. A new teacher, Mrs. Sattler, has taken Mrs. Howe's place. As yet, she hasn't taken the respon- sibility of sponsoring the Library Club. We are doing our best by ourselves. We hope Mrs. Sattler will do as nice a iob as Mrs. Howe has done and we are sure she will. 55 LATIN CLUB First Row-Marian Forche, Beatrice Black, Mary Swartz, Mrs. Cox, Pauline Fredricks, Norma Lee Croak, Joan Poldyak.

Bob King was our stage manager and had much hard work to do so that we could present our play. Ruth Dunmyer gave her time to preparing the costumes and makeup for the night of dress rehearsal and the night of the final pro- duction. Our sound effects man was Edwin Weiland, without his help, the play could never go on. We had a fine audience and made quite a handsome profit.

The Senior treasury was low but we worked hard and enthusiastically to build it up in case we wouldn't break even. The class had representatives from several studios come to the school to demonstrate their photo- graphy. The class chose LaSalle's and set the date to have its pictures taken. On this date, the Seniors were privileged by having the day to themselves. After having our pictures taken, we went out for din- ner and LaSalle's treated us with tickets to admit us to the Paramount Theater. Soon afterwards, Mr. Wendell Whaley, a photographer, came to the school to take the rest of the individual pictures and the group pictures. Ruth Dunmyer acted as chairman and with her assistants, Mary Ann Mauder and Pat Allred, had a very hard and tedious iob to perform. Olis Sutter, chairman, and Dale Ellis, his assistant, used their brainy abilities and strong sales talk to persuade our many well-known advertisers that help makes this annual possible. Bill Moulton had one of the very hardest tasks to perform, by arranging and writing the sports sec- tion. However, the Senior Class cooperated and everyone helped everyone else until the task was com- pleted. The' Staff consists of: Editor .........,..,.,.............. .............

The new Scoutmaster is Mr. I. G. Miller, a very reliable person. The Scouts paid back their debt to the Mothers' Club. The troop is on a very educational basis. We have about twenty-five members in the troop. There are about tive new members coming into the troop. On March 7, 8, and 9, we had G camping party at the DeVilbiss Boy Scout Reservation. We had much fun and recreation. We are hoping to have a swimming party at the Catholic Club. We are going to Boy Scout Camp in July.

In November we held a meeting after which we saw a picture on our new machine and heard rec- ords on the recorder. During the meeting the equipment was turned over to the school to be used by the P. T. A. at any time. In November we sponsored a round and square dance for which Ralph and his Saddle Pals furnished the music. We cleared more than at any other dance. 1 At the close of the School Operetta in December the kitchen committee passed out oranges to everyone. A card party was held, the last of January, which was well attended. We had door and table prizes and sold tickets on fancy work and a towel set. Our profits again were good.

The Seniors of '47 started publishing the OBSERVER by combining the September and October issues. After October, there was an issue for every month. The Staff spent many long hard hours publishing the OBSERVER but seemed to enioy its work. The Staff tried to keep every column as interesting as possible. In January, 1947, the Junior Class took the responsibility of publishing the OBSERVER. The Seniors were willing to give the Juniors the task of publishing this school paper, the OBSERVER. The Seniors had a more important iob to think about and this iob was the annual. ' PROJECTION SQUAD Verne Simon, Gaylord Francis Gaylord Francis and Verne Simon operated the moving picture proiector this year. The work is very interesting. They showed two types of pictures, educational and recreational. Most of the educational pictures come from the state department of educa- tion in Columbus, Ohio. These were both athletic, historical, and scientific pictures. The pictures were shown as a regular part of the class period and students were held responsible for information contained in the motion pictures. This form of learning is more interesting than most others. Motion pictures will play a great role in the education of future generations. These pictures also are one of the best forms of recreation and the students seem to appreciate them than most other forms of entertainment. The moving picture proiector also serves as a good source of profit for the Senior Class, which has the exclusive right of using it.

Winning seven of the twelve games that they played this year is a good average. These boys showed good sportsmanship in every game. They were in there fighting every game. Some of these games were pretty rugged, but the boys showed they had that old fighting spirit to come out on top. We wish all these boys good luck and a successful season in the future. JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL The Junior High team this year is one of the shortest teams we have ever had. They started practice late in February and have been striving hard to learn the fundamentals of basketball. With plenty of practice and good coaching these boys will be right on top when they carry the title of the Olney varsity into play against their opponents. We wish these bows success and good luck in carrying on the reputa- tion that Olney has established in the last two years by going to the tournament and showing that they can really play basketball.

The girls made their own uniforms and were just lucky enough to get them finished for the first game. They were made like cowgirl outfits to represent the Rangers. Their skirts were blue, very full with blue fringe on the bottom and lined with gold. The baleros were blue, trimmed with gold pockets and gold let- ters on the back. They also wore gold blouses, bobby socks and gold beanies with blue tassels. Their shoes were saddle oxfords with gold shoestrings. This is the first year Olney Cheerleaders have had regular uniforms. lt is also the first year Olney Cheerleaders have had such different and original movements in cheerleading. These girls have made Ol- ney sit up and take notice and become really interested in cheerleading. It also has made them realize how important cheerleaders are. All three of the girls have had an advantage which helped them with cheerleading. Ruth has been a maiorette at Olney for four years, which helped her become limber for cheerleading. Pat took tap dancing lessons when she was small and Norma has been working on stages with ballet dancing and singing since she was a child. We really must congratulate these girls on such a fine job of being at all the games up to the Championship game only to be heartbroken by losing. This still didn't make them lose faith in the boys as was shown at the Fremont games. lt took a lot of nerve for the girls to swallow their pride and congratu- late the Luckey cheerleaders on a good game. Nice going, kids, you couldn't have done better! VARSITY Our basketball team this year is one that will long be remembered. lt is the second straight year that Olney went to the finals in the Wood County Tournament, only to be defeated, by a one-point margin, by a fighting Troy-Luckey quintet. We started out the season with four of last year's championship team. We had a little difficulty getting organized early in the season. This was more or less an experimental stage of trying out different members of the squad, to get the best working combination possible. This was the cause of several of our defeats. It was finally decided to use Paul Kimball and Kenny Moulton. After a few games together, we found ourselves and won some of our remaining games. The tournament started in February and Olney entered it as an underdog, the same as last year. But the boys showed their true colors, fighting spirit, and willingness to win, which paid off. We defeated three of the eight seeded teams in the county and played the fourth, which beat us by one point. ln the District Tournament at Fremont, we defeated a favored towering quintet from New London by a score of 60-53. This was one of the high- est scoring games ever played there in a district tournament. Our next game with Elmore, in the quarter finals, was a rough and tumble affair. They had a little too much height for the Rangers to combat, and Elmore controlled the backboards most of the time. In the last periods the Rangers trimmed a T3-point lead to 1 point at the official time out. But we just couldn't connect on our shots and were on the short end of a 50-46 score at the end of the game. This year brings to an end high school basketball for three of the starting five, Olis Sutter, Bill Moulton, and Howard Adkins. There are also three from the second five graduating this year, Bob King, Ed Weiland, and Bruce Reimer. In closing we wish next year's team and all the teams in the future, good luck and very successful seasons. 79 1: if VARSITY Firsf Row-Bud Schnell, Bill Moulton, Howclrd Adkins, Danny Warner, Olis Sutter.

Coach Troy-Luckey Win Count Crown Olney Dethroned In Thriller It was a happy bunch of boys that went home to Luckey last Satur- day night after the ending of the 28th Annual Class B Wood County Tournament at the University gym. They were happy because they were bringing home the bacon, -the Wood County Championship! It was the first county title that the Troy-Luckey school had ever cap- tured. although they had been run- ner-up three times before in the tourneys. - And Coach Doyce Flliere was mighty proud of this team, winners of 17 out of 1.8 games during the season, that staved off a rally by a game Olney five to win Saturday nlght's finale, 24-23. The last min- ute of the game was a bedlam! With Troy-Luckey leading, 23-21, after Bill .Moulton had sank a brace of foul shots for Olney. Capt- ain John Hannan, of the Trojans, fouled Howard Adkins. Then Luckey called time-out with 1:12 minutes left in the ball game. When play was resumed, the Rang- ers took the ball out-of-bounds, in- stead of Adkins shooting the foul. Luckey intercepted the ball and a foul was called on forward Moulton. Bill Loomis, dlminitlve Trojan for- ward, stepped to the foul-llne and made his free-throw good, glvlng Troy-Luckey a three point lead, 24- 21. Then, with about a half-minute to go Bill Moulton scored again for Olney, and the Woodvllle Road rooters went wild. Twenty-four to twenty-three! The Rangers got the ball. and several passes were made. A 'Ranger shot, the ball careened off the hoop into the hands of a Trojan. and Troy-Luckey managed to hold it for the few fleeting sec- onds before the gun went off. Then pandemonium did break loose! Onto the floor the fans pour- ed to clasp the hands and hug the players of both teams. For they both played a great game. and one that will long be remembered! Af- ter the tumult had subsided some- what, the ceremony of bestowlng the trophies proceeded. The floor was glven to Superintendent C. S. Harkness for the presentations. But the crowd had not had its day! Each time the superintendent went to speak, a cheer went up for one of teams to Uflrown- his r -'11 voice out. This practice has be-1 come almost a tradition at thq tournament. Finally the crowdl quieted, and- the two league troph- ies were given to ,Haskins and Luckey, winners of the Western and Northeastern Leagues, respectively. tThe other two league trophies will go to the winners of the Cygnet-i North Baltimore and Bradner-Ris-j ingsun play-off gums this weelall The fifth team to represent Wood County at the Fremont District Tournament beginning this week-f end, Bloomdale, also received a tro- phy. Bloomdale defeated Haskins, 35-31. in the consolation finals Saturday night for this honor. The! other four teams to represent the, county at the district tournament.: winners of the quarter-final games,1 are Olney, Bradner, Luckey and' Pembervllle. Then, Superintendent 'Harkness presented the Championship and runner-up trophies to Luckey and Olney, and gave a gold basketball to each member of the victorious Troy-Luckey squad, including Coach Doyce Flliere. The climax of the evening came when Doc Lake, managing-editor of the Sentinel- Tribune ,announced the selection of the All-County Tournament Team. At forwards were selected: Don Zlss. of Haskins, and Bill Loomis, of Luckey: at guards, Jim Berrldge, of Bradner, and Olin Sutter, of Ol- ney: and at center, John Hannan, of Luckey. No one will argue that a team made up of these players could take care of itself in any man's league! The selections were roundly applauded by the crowd. Each member of this team will be given a medalla, or troplw, by the Downtown Coaches' Association of Bowling Green. When the crowd filed out of the big gymnasium after the ceremon- ies, most everyone was satisfied that he had seen one of the greatest tournaments since they began ln 1920. All attendance records had been broken in the eight-session tourney. The new Wood County Champions had been one of the outsandlng favorites from the,be-' ginning. They had played without the services of one of their stars, Rollaml Huss, who was quarantined for s let fever two .dlyl,,bdore. theigxlurxs played their f.i.rst'to1n'f ney game. ' I. Emil Ihnat's Rangers, of Olney, had acquitted themselves in spectacular fashion, entering the tournament as a dark-horse the same as last year, to fight their way again to the finals, and succumb to Troy-Luckaefv only after a great battle. The c - ibre of county qutntets was without doubt the finest this year in the history of the tournaments. No less than nine games were decided by three-point margins, or less. TROY' LUCKEY ...... Z4 OLNEY .............. 23 The final game between Olney and Luckey wasgnlp and tuck all of the way. The first quarter ended 'I-9 in Olney's favor, after Luckey had led. 'I-4 In the second canto. the Rangers only made one point, while Troy-Luckey managed two buckets to' lead at the half-time, 11-10. Captain Olin Sutter, whose play was handicapped by a taped-knee tfrom an injury received when ho took a bad fall in Thursday night's gamel was taken out early ln the third quarter, when the fourth per- sonal foul was called on hlm. The Trojans led at one point in this stanza by 17-11, and they ended the quarter in the van, 19-14. Sutter reentered the game at the beginning' of the final period. A foul-shot by Kenny Moulton, and a spectacular one-handed shot by Bill Moulton.,put the Rangers back in the ball game, 19-17. Then free- throws by Loomis and I-Iannan ex- tended the Trojan's lead to 21-17. Paul Kimball hit from within the foul-circle to bring the Rangers up again, 21-19, just before the of- ficial's time-out, with but 2:47 min- utes remaining. Loomis slipped away from Sut- ter to convert a nice under-basket shot to give Troy-Luckey a more comfortable margin, 23-19. Thbg came Bill Moulton's brace of foul- shots, and the Trojans time-out with 1:12 minutes remaining, in which the 'Trojans finally emerged victorious, 24-23. Scoring honors went to Loomis and Hannan with eight points a- piece for Luckey. 'Runner-up on. the victor's team was center Russ- ell Ruch with six markers, includ- ing two nice baskets at opportune times. Kenney and Bill Moulton led the Rangers with eight points ewbh.

Basketball is one of the girls' favorite sports as well as the boys. Another favorite sport is baseball. We can hardly wait until we play different teams. We also enioy dancing. A few of the girls learned how to dance. At least they make an effort. Volleyball is another favorite sport. The seventh and eighth grade girls did stunts which made them a little stiff and sore until they got used to it. We hope that the girls of the other classes beneath us will enioy their physical education classes as much as we did.

There are about twenty-three members in the band. We had great im- provement in the band last summer. We also had members from Lake and Walbridge during summer rehearsals. The members from Lake and Walbridge were Bonna and Linda Loudenslager and Nathan McCurren. Last summer we used the Smith, Yoder, and Bachwell band books, but we are now using some new books entitled Starting Your Junior Band . We are getting along very well and are going to ploy several numbers in the Spring Music Festival. As for as we know we are going to play three songs en- titled: Chapel Echoes , which is composed of church music, Graduation , which is the first march we have played, The Dancers , which is a very pleasing waltz. We have had a little experience with waltzes and hope it will turn out very well. , 87 ' . vw- -fn- - SENIOR BAND ' First Row-Beatrice Black, Lois Paben, Joanne Poffenbaugh, Eileen Elling, Harold Schnell, Thomas Schnell, Robert Teet, Robert Adkins, Ralph Sondergeld, Olis Sutter.

All the numbers except Elecnor's were accompanied by the band. On August ll another concert was given. The Junior Band played first. All of their numbers were very well performed. The Senior Band played marches and popular numbers. Eleanor Garner played a few accordion solos: Howard Ad- kins was featured in Drumsticks g and Olis Sutter and Tom Schnell played a cornet duet, accompanied by the band. The twirlers gave a very nice performance. Mr. Koch's sister-in- low, Donna Jean Schellinger, twirled during one number. Collections were taken at both concerts and the contributions were very generous. On the first day of school we gave a concert consisting of the pieces played at the summer band concerts and some of the special numbers. At this time the pins and letters were awarded to those deserving them. The band officers elected at the beginning of the year were: President , Howard Adkins Vice-President . . .. Robert Adkins Secretary , , ., Tam Schnell librarians Bud Schnell, Don Sondergeld Reporter . . , Eleanor Garner The band played at the October meeting of the Lark P. T. A. We played marches, popular songs ,and songs for the kiddies. The special numbers were by Gail Gallaher, accordionistg Howard Adkins, drummer, and Eleanor Garner, accordionist. A new group made its appearance. This was the Hungry Five. They put on four very comical numbers. ln November the band played for cn Armistice Day Pro- gram. The Girls' Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus sang. ' During the year, three new pieces of equipment were pur- chased. The School Board bought a piccolo, the Mothers' Club gave us money to buy two horns, and with the money from the concerts we bought a filing cabinet for our music. This year we exchanged bands with Lake School for the basketball games. ln December we played in their auditorium when our teams played there. In January they brought their band to our school with their team. This was a lot of fun and we hope we can do it again next year. The band played at all the home games except the one at which l.ake's Band played and the Alumni game. A Sunday Band Concert was given in January. The special numbers were a piano solo by Phyllis Felhaber, a cornet duet 'T I by Olis Sutter and Ralph Sondergeld, and accordion solo by Eleanor Garner, a military dance by Donna Jean Middling, and a performance by the twirlers, Audrey Schreiber and Ruth Dunmyer, This program was composed of numbers for the kiddies, young and old, popular numbers, and marches. This program was repeated for an assembly program in February, although it was shortened. During the year the officers have examined quite a few new students for the Senior Band and there are some new members in the Junior Band. Those who passsed their tests for Senior Band are Jeannine Sutter, Clair Simpson, Leo Wasserman, Lewis McLaughlin, Karl Hirzel, Audrey Schreiber, Robert Batdorf, Carol Schnell, Sandra Armaganian, and Jane Busson. At the first of the year the twirlers found a mascot in the first grade. She was Donna Jean Middling. During the basketball season, Donna twirled her way into the hearts of hundreds of basketball fans. ln February we were all sorry to hear that Donna was moving. We hope she is making as big a hit in Genoa School. On April 25 we gave our Spring Music Festival. We played quite a few novelty numbers. The twirlers performed a nov- elty twirling act. The Boys' and the Girls' Glee Clubs sang some very nice selections. The Mixed Chorus did some fine singing. ' We will play for Commencement. We have enough players so that the seniors do not have to play this year. This year we will lose four Senior Band members. They are Howard Adkins, Olis Sutter, Phyllis Felhaber, and Ruth Dunmyer, We are sorry to lose them, but we want to con- gratulate them and wish them all the happiness and the best of luck. ORCHESTRA The orchestra played between the acts of the Senior Pla-1. Three of our members had parts in the play. We also played for the Mothers' Club Fcll Festival. The Hungry Five made another appearance. They all had on comical costumes, did their best to make the audience laugh, and got a wonderful response. A performance was given at the Grade School Operetta. Then we played for a community sing before the operetta began. ln March we played between the acts of a ploy given by the Lark P. T. A. We played between the acts of the Junior Play. We have high hopes of being able to give a dance next year and being able to do the playing ourselves.

H -r , -It Q GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Due to the lack of time, Girls' Glee Club rehearsals must be used for our three part music, and also for learning music for mixed chorus. Our rehearsals come every Monday. Our officers are as follows: President ,. Patricia Allred Vice-President Rosalyn Metzger Secretary . Helen Marcinek Librarians Norma Hurst, Mary Lou Flamion Reporter Beatrice Stemen Mcst of the year has been spent with training materials so that we can sing three parts in tune. The Girls' Glee Club is divided into groups of first scpranos, second sopranos, and altos. Songs that we have been practising are as follows: Brahm's Lullabyy Oh, Dear! What Can the Matter Be?, Comin' Thru the Rye, Now the Day ls Over. We all enjoy this club very much, and are happy thvt we may have it. The Girls' Glee Club will be very happy to welcon-e the eighth grade girls into our club next year. BOYS' GLEE CLUB This year we had a fine turnout of boys from whom we were able to choose four parts. Our officers are as follows: President Howard Adkins Vice-President Bud Schnell Secretory Don Kerfinger Librarians Jim Coy, Jim Reinhart Reporter Gene Brunt Because of bond and other classes, we were able to practice only once a week which made the task much harder. The songs that are favorites among the boys are: The Bull Dog on the Bank and The Bull Frog in the Pool, The Old Ark, Easter Parade, Shortnin' Bread, and many others. Most of our time this year was spent in learning to carry our own parts in four part harmony. The glee club this year is unlike the glee clubs in the former years at Olney. We have an acap- pella choir or a choir without accompaniment. 93 MIXED CHORUS ' First Row-Patsy Nagy, Betty Good, Barbara Karlene, Donna Jean Brandburg, Phyllis Bodi, Mary Lou Flamion, Theresa Coy, Jane Busson, Joan Poldyak.

TONETTE BAND The first week in October, Mr. Koch came to the third and fourth grades and said we might have a tonette band. Many boys and girls brought one dollar and thirty-five cents to pay for their tonettes, then waited anxiously for them to come. The third week in October they arrived, the children were very happy and we started our lessons. ln the beginning we had two separate classes, one in the third grade and the other in the fourth grade. After a few months, both classes began playing together, now, we have a thirty-minute lesson once a week in the music room. We have learned to read and play notes as a, b, c, and count time by tapping our feet. Most of the students in the tonette band play for Sunday School programs, grade programs, and entertain their friends at home with tonette music. We also played several numbers, duets and trios before a High School adudience. Most of the people who play in the Junior and Senior band have played tonettes in the grades. fhere are eleven third graders with Eileen Garner as president, twelve fourth graders with Elaine B't- ter s president, in the tonette band. We are practicing for the Spring Concert which will be held the ev tihg of April twenty-fifth in our school auditorium. 95 D n Jean M'ddling Norma Jean Keller Richard Herrington, Nancy Presser, First Rtow- on a : . , , Garwin Miller, Eugene Oliver, Jon Waite, Charles Neal, Lee Roy McBride, Francis Mauder, Lornie Adkins, Joan Heilman, Gwendolyn Meyers, Carolyn Haehl, Nancy Meek, Louis Simon.

RHYTHM BAND Rhythm is one part of music that is developed in the first and second grades of Olney School. After practicing, clapping and tapping to music, the first instruments of the band, sticks, are given to the child- ren. Then gradually other instruments are introduced, clogs, drums, bells, triangles, cymbals and tambour- ines. These are used in rhythm with phonograph records. The rhythm band played at the Christmas Program and later in February at an assembly program l' h h' t and dark trousers and perky blue and gold caps They looked quite striking with light dresses, ig t s ir s . These children are the future iunior and senior members of Olney School Band. 96 S W Nm R, I ,,f7- si-...f.. es , 1 lilo SNAPSHQTS Me and my gal! May Day-then marriage? Billy, you're a liitle-behind!

FAREWELL May is here again, but this one brings a new view to the Seniors of 1947. Most of us have spent four years in this high school. To some these years were long, to others they were much too short. No matter how long or short they were, they were years of ioy and happiness. We are sorry to leave the scene of many of the joys of our younger lives but all good things must come to an end. So farewell. May the future bring as much happiness to the coming classes of our clear old high school, the Blue and Gold. 102 AUTUGDADHS 103 AUIDEIQAIDHS- 104 Compliments of OLNEY MOTHER'S CLUB V0bIJ wil , GSS P U 5 CU Grown and Packed in This Vicinity for the Past Z5 Years We wish to express our appreciation to the many Olney school pupils and parents. who. through their efforts have helped us to maintain the high quality of our products.

Young eyes don't have to squint to read. This means less eyestrain and physical fatigue -important to growing children. Picture Windows bring the outdoors right up to a room. Far from being distracting, this cheerful feature keeps pupils in a happier and more attentive frame of mind. The principal of one Illinois school that has window walls claims they have helped improve grades and cut down illness! The ideal glass for school room glazing is Thennopcme', the windowpane that insulates. With Thennopcme large window areas are possible without sacrificing heating economy. 'Reg U. S. Pat. Off.
