While you leaf through this edition of On Ottawav, we hope you will recall all the happy days the seniors spent together in their last year as well as in the earlier years. Space will not permit sufficient words and pictures to cover all the joys and experiences we have shared. This edition repre- sents many hours of extra work but makes it possible for us to look through this book and recall many happy events in this period of our lives. We sincerely hope you will get as much pleasure looking through On Ottawav as we have had in presenting it to you. Phyllis Snyder, Editor -2.. DEDICATION Teachers help to mold young people into the type of citizens they become as adults. Miss Alta M. Thrapp was one of these persons. She taught in the schools here in Ottawa for many years and has had a great influence on the lives of many of our graduates. Miss Thrapp retired from the teaching profession in the spring of 1949. Even though she does not serve on the teaching staff now, we have not forgot- ten her. We have been happy to have her visit us on several occasions during the year. So we, the Class of 1950, wish to dedicate this issue of On Ottaway to Miss Alta M. Thrapp. We sincerely hope that through us her teachings may continue. ..3- fs 'K WF, WEST BUILDING xi' Jr yy' -HW GYMNASIUM - AUDITGRIUM -4 - EAST SCHOOL BUILDING ALMA MATER Old Ottawa Forever Our Alma Mater Dear, We crown thee fairest high school Thy name we love to hear.

CANCER VIRGIL KRUSE ROMUS LOOSER W. C. TONER ALBERT SCHUMACHER A board of education is deserving of every credit that a community can pos- sibly give to it. The men who are now serving and who have served on the Ottawa Local Board of Education are no exception. It seems hardly fair that this edition should go to press without recognition being given to two men who have given of their time for a great number of years for the welfare of the boys and girls who have attended the Ottawa Public Schools. Mr. I. W. McDowell and Mr. john E. Roose are the two men concerned. Both men chose to not serve on the local board any longer after having served a number of years ranging in the thirties and forties. However, Mr. Roose has been elected to continue his services as clerk of the local board. As the years come and go the community of Ottawa will do well to give every bit of support to make in our community one of the best school systems a com- munity of our size can have. Your local board solicits your best loyalty as it looks toward the future for our schools, and to the Class of 1950, every good wish goes with you as you face your out-of-school life. May Our School ever stand as one in which you may be proud to have been a part. -8- FACULTY 4 W -X9 I' P + 'I F' ' , 15 F V gr, Q , . KV i:'fSxi75 4 ,. cw? RUTH C. FREY, A. B. H. O. NOW, A.

For our first two years the class was divided into two parts. The pupils who lived in the east end of town attended the east school building and those of the west end attended the west building. Our teachers for those years were Miss McDowell and Miss Huber at the east and west buildings respectively. In the third grade we were all together at the west building. During this year the class of 1950 was under the jurisdiction of Miss Elliott. The following year we were given our help by Miss Alice Stauffer. We were now beginning to like school, and ap- preciate the help given by our teachers. The next year physical and mental assistance was given by Miss Stechschulte. In the fol- lowing year, which was our sixth year, we were back at the east building again. Things were different down here, we didn't have any more recess periods and we weren't the upper classmen as we had been when we were in the fifth grade at the west building. We were instructed during the sixth grade by Miss Watterson and the following year by Mrs. Hellwick. fMiss Watterson got mar- riedj. junior high was different from grade school Did we think we were grown up! During our eighth year of schooling we were supervised by the very capable Miss Thrapp. This year we learned the Gettysburg Ad- dressv and The American Creed , along with many other things. The following year we were freshmen. This is the year we had all waited for. We were now in high school. During our first year of high school, we gave a party for the sophomores which they returned in the spring. Next year was even busier. We gave an Easter chapel, and St. Valentine's assembly. Our class advisor was Miss Ogle. The next year we really worked hard. We had an Easter chapel and a St. Patrick's day assembly. Our class play was entitled The Daffy Dillsv, a comedy which everyone en- joyed. Later in the year we were very busy preparing for the junior-senior banquet and dance. Our theme for this was colonial, and our theme song Forever and Everv. The dance floor was decorated with French windows and giant white pillars. Our or- chestra was Dick Ford, from Lima. We thought we were busy other years but during our senior year we had an annual to get out, also a school paper, a play to give, and many other things. We had our regular Easter chapel and a Hallowe,en assembly. Baccalaureate services were held May 28th and our commencement was May 29th. The seniors took a class trip to Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, starting May 31st, and returning home Iune 8. We saw many historical sights and much lovely scenery. The class of 1950 at this time wishes to thank all the teachers that have made our graduation possible. ..18- CLASS PROPHECY May 29, 1960 Dear Diary, just ten years ago the Class of 1950 was graduated with only eleven members. The class was small but proved mighty. Let's take a look at the members of this class now. Let's start with the president of the class, Carolyn Frey. Carolyn married that hand- some man, Mort Oglesbee. They now have three children, one boy and two girls. Be- sides rearing a family, Carolyn has published two volumes of oetry QI guess that,s what you call itj. She also owns several greenhouses in which she works. She's quite a gal, 1'd say. Then there's the vice-president, ganet Now. Well, what do you know! illanet as hooked a man. She is a music teac er and a famous piano player. She has excelled Chopin in his ability to la and write music. She is now consideredp the world's greatest composer. Lucky gal! And our secretary, Doris Moore, is now the wife of Darrel Nichols. They have four cute children. Doris and her husband own five farms around Columbus Grove. You should see that snazzy looking Cadillac Doris drives around now. Good luck, Doris. Now the treasurer, Don Remick, the money man. Don has gone to college to play basket- ball. He is the world's greatest basketball player. Every college is begging him to come to school so he can play on its team. Four years of schooling were not enough for Don. He also gets a little money on the side. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Don grew a little. He is six feet eight inches tall and really a looker, too. Then there's the girl with the voice like a canary, Sally Pierman. She is really going places. She has sung in New York and all over the United States. She is now away on a tour of Europe. When she gets back she is going to start a movie and have a radio program of her own. If you get a chance, stop in Hollywood and see Sally's modem home. CIt's out of this world.Q Sally has a voice that no one can beat. Then money-mad Widmark, otherwise known as Dale Widmark. He's rich now. Be- lieve it or not, he has a dozen clothing stores which he runs himself. He also has a darling wife and dream home. Incidentally, Dale reads poet publicly. He's quite a success, don't you think? Remember Thelma Cox? She got a job as a secretary in a large office. After working several years she began sitting on the boss's lap while taking dictation. You can guess w at happened. You're right! The boss pro- posed to er and now she's the boss.. Then the joker of the class, jim Pope. jim's finally settled down. He went to college and has become a history teacher. Ask him any question and you'll get an answer. CBut I'm not saying it's right.J He has also gone quite far in his scout work. He has just re- cently been appointed head of the Boy Scouts of America. Keep it up, jim. Don't forget Zelma Cox. She has taken up two careers, teaching home economics and playing basketball. She teaches a fine group of girls all about homemaking. Believe me she knows all about it, for not very long ago she got married. She has a group of girls who travel all over the United States to play basketball. Maybe you have heard of them. They're called the Win or Kill'em team. Next is Bob Callier. Bob is quite a bowling fiend and owns several bowling alleys in Ohio. He has broken the world record by bowling 325. fConfidentially, the perfect score is only 300.j But we still think he is the greatest. Last, but not least, is Phyllis Snyder. She is now teaching first graders their ABC's. QI should say trying to teach them., She is also trying homemaking with her husband, Gene Schimmoller.. Dear diary, having heard from my friends, I can close the boo for another day.

The hustling and bustling of juniors was evident all over Ottawa Pub- lic. The secret of the prom was hard to keep, because the seniors were very interested. But somehow the juniors managed to keep it. The night arrived. A warm, balmy, happy- go-luckyv night. At 6:30 P.M. the guests be- gan arriving at the Eagles Hall where the ban- quet was to be held. At first we could not be- lieve our eyes, the tables were so beautiful. The little silver ladies in the middle of each table were the most striking of all. Gradually our eyes wandered to the nut cups and name cards. It certainly took a lot of team work to get everything ready. Everyone finally found his named place. A hush came over the room. We couldn't figure out what was wrong until we saw the waitresses bringing in the food, and such food-a luscious steak with mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas surrounding it! OH! Were our mouths watering? Besides this, relish plates, salad plates, and biscuits with butter were on the table before us. You or I might have thought this to be a full meal, but the juniors didn,t think so. Besides that which has already' been named, we had ice cream and cake. We were so full we could hardly keep awake. Stomachs were filled, everyone felt ready for an evening of dancing. The seniors were still wondering what the junior theme was. It didn't do any good to wonder because the program began as per usual. Miss Thrapp, the juniors' honored guest, gave the invoca- tion. After this the junior class president, johnny Schimmoller gave the welcome, this was followed by a piano solo by Mary Io Smith. The senior class president, Carolyn Frey, then gave her response. A vocal solo by Sally Pierman accompanied by janet Now followed. The program ended with a faculty response from Mr. Wheaton, and two fine numbers were presented by the Miss Chords On to the dance-just what the seniors were waiting for. Finally they would find out what the junior theme was. The grand march took place while the band played Some Enchanted Eveningv. The scene was simply beautiful. We found ourselves in a lovely garden filled with various types of flowers. A little stream was trickling through one corner of the gar- den with a bridge at either end. A brick wall seperated the dance floor from the tables which were placed at the west end of the garden. The sky was made of crepe paper streamers spangled with silver stars. Stream- ers closed the garden off from the rest of the building. On each table there were lavender petunias which were very attractive. The food from the banquet must have di- gested by now, for the crowd seemed to be drifting toward a small table filled with snacks. There we could see sandwiches, po- tato chips, relish dishes, and punch. The punch seemed to be a favorite with the crowd, for every once in a while I saw a junior run- ning after some more. At 12:00 P.M. it all ended, as quickly as it had begun. The evening had passed so fast that we couldn't believe it was all over. ,Twas a nice prom, juniors, and we appre- ciate the work you put in to offer it. So the seniors of 1950 say good-by to high school prom life. -22- A 'Q as dull! mm ? -M VA- .N ,M - fv- BACCALAUREATE SERVICES Ormwn. METHODIST CHURCH Ottawa, Ohio May 28, 1950 7:30 P. M.

We started the year with a lot of ambition because we knew that this year would be a very busy one. On November 10 the girls from our class presented the comedy-farce, The Girl with Two Faces , our junior class play. On November 11 we received our class rings. We found later that they had arrived on the day of our play and our advisor thought we might try to show them off too much on stage and might forget our lines, so she saved them as a surprise until after the play. Our activities were varied. Most of the juniors participated in the one-act plays and the big three-act play, Thread of Destinyv. We were busy as bees from March to May working on the junior-senior prom, which was held May 12, 1950. What a wonderful prom it wasl We put on a Christmas chapel just before the Christmas vacation. On March 17 we held an assembly for St. Patrick's Day. This was a success also. All the junior boys played basket- ball and baseball, and went out for track. We've really a sporty bunch. The Champs - that's what the junior class was yelling when we won the intramurals in March. We were all glad for Mary Anne Weisenberger, for she received the highest divisional rating in a history test given by the American Legion. This won for her a week's visit at Cirl's Buckeye State. We'll meet you next year as the seniors of '51. Compliments of GEORGE WEISENBERGER -27- ' str est E ,.

Although we may have slipped up occasionally, I am sure all of us did work hard. We lost one member, Don Newland, and gained another, Ann Hart. Don is now working with his father. Ann transferred to our school from Seattle, Washington. In November the freshmen favored us with a party. The favor was returned later in the year. Everyone enjoyed himself immensely at both parties. The dramatics program was very popular with our class this year. Cina represented our class in the Prince of Peace declamation contest. Later she took her Prince of Peace selection to Lima for the oratorical declamation contest there. Bill, Ann, Annbeth, and Cina were in the one-act plays. This year the school gave a three-act play, Thread of Destiny , in which Bill and Annbeth took part. We are very proud of all these people. Sports, also, played a large part in our class activities this year. Bill was one of the first five in basketball, and Don and Bob played on the reserve team. Good work, fellows! Don and Bob went out for track later and Bill was on the baseball team. We sponsored a chapel and an assembly this year, but if it had not been for the help and guidance of our advisor, Miss Ditmer, neither program would have been successful. Thank you, Miss Ditmer, for your guidance throughout the year. Compliments Of Portraits In The Modem Trend L lg, 303551 Lumggn cg, HARRIET M. GREEN STUDIOS , 131 W.

Joyce Weisenberger Our freshman class, consisting of thirteen members, has been quite active in its Hrst year of high school. We started our high school career with a big bang. On initiation day we all had the experience of going back to our early days. Quite early!! We have some fine athletes in our class. All but two of our ten boys went out for base- ball. Basketball is another favorite sport among us. The same number participated in it. Bud Smith, Terry Camburn, Don Snyder, and Louis Kibsgard went out for track. Dick Kohli was manager of the varsity team. Two of our girls, Joyce Weisenberger and Loretta Hall, were chosen as varsity basketball cheerleaders. We are sorry to say the girls lost their intramural basketball games, but the boys showed real spirit by beating the seniors. Speech and dramatic activities held the interest of several members. Loretta Hall and Joyce Weisenberger entered the Prince of Peace contest. Joyce placed as alternate at the Presbyterian Church. Over half of our class took part in the one-act plays and The Thread of Destiny . January 2 we held a New Year's chapel in study hall. Reverend Chivington, from Leipsic, was our speaker. We also gave a May Day program and sponsored a dance in the evening. All three of our girls were members of the girls' high school chorus. Bud Smith and Dale Salisbury were in the boys' chorus. Our freshman class has enjoyed its ugreenien year and is looking forward to next year.

First was the freshmen initiation, with the freshmen dressed as babies. There was also an assembly honoring the freshmen and in the evening, a dance and Weiner roast. Then came the election of cheerleaders, which was held as in previous years. The Student Council supported the three-act play, Thread of Destiny , which was a great success. Everyone enjoyed the play as much as the characters in the play enjoyed their parts. The Mother's Club sponsored a St. Patrick's Day dance to which the Student Council gave its full support by selling tickets, helping with the decorations, and helping to furnish publicity for the dance. Everyone from grades seven through twelve attended. Starting for the first year in our school is the election of a May king and queen. A com- mittee worked up the requirements for the king and the queen. These were submitted to the Student Council for approval. Intramurals were also supported by the Council as in other years. The magazine drive which was aided by the Council was a big success. The money raised from the drive was used to help pay for the robes for the chorus. This was a major project for the Council. Election of Student Council officers for next year was approved by the Council. The presidents of the four classes and three faculty members made up the nominating committee. Then came the last day of school with its picnic and assembly sponsored by the Council. Everyone enjoyed both. -39- ANN UAL STAFF L ti R' ht Siflfvllll Iisxet Now, Dale Widmark, Phyllis Snyder. jim Pope, Thelma Cox, and Don- Remick.

Every month an issue comes off the press tmimcograph machinej. The staff sincerely hopes that everyone has enjoyed the paper. Over two hundred copies were run off each month. Our mailing list was approximately twenty-five, and we received various newspapers from other schools. The Tawa Echo is sent to other schools in the county and to subscribers. just as other-newspapers have their difficulties, so did the Tawa Eehov. The stencils werenit cutl there was no correction fluid, the mimeograph machine wouldn't work-those wcrc just a few things that happened. Then there was the other side of the picture-the pleasure we got as we saw our own newspaper, the fun we had working together, and the experience we acquired. To the staff, the Tawa Echon is more than just a school paper. It is a symbol of work, grief, and pleasure. Without the help of everyone, our paper would have been unsuccessful. We don't think it was. A vote of thanks to those who co-operated so well. -41- HI-Y Ist. Row: Bob Millager, Bill Pope, Dale Salisbury, Do P1 g -k S h' lh Ch k MCI 2nd.

The Hi-Y Club sponsored George Campbell in a musical assembly. As you will remember, he was here two years ago in the same sort of program. We hope to sponsor him again in the future. The club also gave a Christmas party for the entire high school. A good program had been planned and it was well enjoyed. In financing the clubis activities for the year, the members sold license plate tags which had Ottawa printed on them and two Indians on the sides. In the final activity of the year we camped out at Riley Creek. The last meeting was held with the new officers presiding.

Ursula, the wife of Martin Wade, realized that wheat was more important than anything else to her husband. All his hopes and dreams were centered on the field of wheat called the Albit. Anna, a neighbor girl who was in love with Martin before his marriage to Ursula, helped Ursula with the farm work, and learned of the intense hatred Ursula felt toward the wheat. The climax of the play began to build when Ursula finally told Martin that she could not go on as she had. Then Anna ran screaming from the road to announce that the Albit was burning. The fire was supposedly caused by the cigarette of a man who had stopped at the Wade home for water. While Anna and Martin frantically call- ed for help, Ursula left the house. Not until Martin saw her nearing the flames did he realize what she intended to do. As Ursula walked into the flames, Anna dropped scream- ing to the fioor.

Having been admitted by the maid, Delphine, the girls took off their wet clothes and made comments about the house. Then in walked Miss Runyon, a weird old woman, who made the startling announcement that she was leaving 50,000 dollars to each of them in her will. As the girls had never seen her before, they were just a little bit surprised. After her statement, Miss Runyon left to go upstairs. Suddenly the lights went out, then- a shot! Miss Runyon had left her fortune to these girls so that her niece Fay Redmond wouldn't get any of the inheritance. She had discovered that Fay was among the girls. After that, she had been killed. There was a frantic search for the gun, will, and killer. It seemed that Dolores, the Cuban- dancer, was under the greatest suspicion be- cause of her fiery temper. Zip, a tennis champ, was also suspected. Laughs were provided by Liz Tucker, a wait- ress and jenny, a farm girl her pal. Delphine was also just a little stupid. Then the girl at the window was killed be- cause she had seen the murderess go up-stairs to kill Miss Runyon. Alberta Simms, tried to :igure it out by psychology, but didn't get very ar. Finally the niece, Fay Redmond, alias Liz Tucker, was found out. Then jenny, the girl from the farm, and Liz figured out that the killer was Patty, the soft spoken stenographer. She was then taken to jail. All the girls re- fused to take their share of the money given them in the will. They turned it all over to Fay. -54.. SENIOB CLASS PLAY F ' UMR.

M r, Now STORY OF THE PLAY Virginia Montgomery, a beautiful Southem girl, has announced her engagement to Peyton Bailey, owner of adjoining plantation and her lifelong friend. To celebrate the event, merry- making is in progress at Ashurst, the Montgomery home. On the same afternoon, Colonel Montgomery brings the news of Virginia's secession, while Beverly announces that he has enlisted. Later on Peyton tells Virginia that he, too, is planning to go to war, but that he will join the ranks of the Union army, Virginia declares that he must choose between her and his mistaken duty. Peyton says that he must obey his conscience and so Virginia sends him away. Dark days follow for the Montgomerys. The colonel, on a brief visit to his family, is called to Richmond and is killed. Beverly, pursued and watched by the Union men succeeds in reaching home. Peyton has been ordered to search the Montgomery home for an escaped, confederate officer supposedly hiding there. Beverly is discovered but Peyton allows him to escape. Ralph Francis overhears their conversation and threatens Virginia until she consents to marry him. Later on in the play the difllculties are settled and the thread of destiny brings Virginia back to Peyton. The love affairs of Beverly and Edith, the faithful attentions of George Washington to Fanny, the flirtations of Tom with the Southem girls and the devotion of Uncle Billy and Aunt Dinah in their service to the Montgomery family, are incidents that lead to a happy ending of the story. -55.. 4' v A THLETICS 1 wi If Q f ff ,ff f gf n X9 f lf- g E X ff Lg? fy !
