F OHEWOHD The time in which we live is one of chaos, the ul- timate course of which we do not know. The future remains clouded with uncertainty. At the present we are in an unexcelled state of economic tranquillity, medicine has granted us a liberal portion of life be- yond the promised four score years and teng modern science has elevated our civilization to a plane of success unsurpassed in the chronicles of our earth. But war threatens to interrupt this peaceful state. We, as graduates, however, face the future brightly. In most parts of the world today, peace is still an unlighted torch. Our education symbolizes the tinder box with which we can cause this torch to burst forth with a new and etemal light for all mankind. Joyce Culker and john Howe A Co-editors -2..

IN MEMORY OF THE OLD SCHOOLS -4- DEDI CATI ON MR. E. A. WHEATON At the end of this school year we shall graduate from a new school. This is not only a statement of fact, but also the culmination of a desire and a need long present in our com- munity. We therefore feel that we of the Class of 54 should dedicate our annual to the person most instrumental in the passage of the bond issue and the building of our new school. Thank you, Mr. Wheaton.

Q CLASS HISTORY On a September morning of 1942 several timid children strolled slowly up the long walk in front of the East School Building on their way to their first day of school. VVhen we arrived that morning Miss McDowell calmed our fears. She guided us for the Erst two years of the adventure in school. Of the group that took that walk only Sue Pierman, Joyce Culker, Karin Frey, Shirley Frey, Susie McClure, and Ronnie Fessler spent their twelve school years at Ottawa Public. jo-Ann Pargeon joined our class in the second grade. The third grade was just as exciting as the first two. This year these boys and girls, two years older now, attended the West Building. Here we learned such useful things as writing, reading, multiplication, history, English, and geography. Our third grade teacher was Mrs. Koehl. In the fourth grade our class was divided for the first and last time. Part remained in Mrs. Koehl's room while part went into Miss Hitchcock,s room. That year Bob Agner and La Villa McLaughlin joined our ranks. The next year we were together again. Mrs. Gulker taught us in the fifth grade. That was also the year Lucia Wootton became a member of our class. By 1948 we were sixth graders. This was the year we moved from the West Building to the East Building. At the halfway point in our school lives we numbered twenty. Mrs. Schaefer was our home room teacher while Miss Thrapp taught us two subjects. That year we got our first taste of study halls and moving from class to class. From this time on we were treated more or less as high school students. In the seventh grade our home room teacher was Miss Thrapp. From this point on we had several teachers each year and I will only record the home room teacher. This year our curriculum broadened. Some of the boys played on the junior high basketball team. In the eigth grade our teacher was Mr. Wheaton and our home room was the study hall. That year john Howe added his name to our class roll. This year too, members of the class sang in the junior high boys', girls' and mixed choruses. At the end of that year we numbered twenty-one. Eleven remained with us to be graduated. The year 1951 we were finally greenies . Now we chose our subjects and branched out into the various fields of leaming. In high school our class entered the various fields of activity such as speech and dramatics, vocal music and band, the school newspaper, athletics, the student council, and clubs. We were outstanding, if we may boast a little, in speech, dramatics and music. Our home room teacher was Miss Fitzgerald. In our sophomore year some of us served on the annual staff. The experience gained there helped us this year. The home room teacher was Mr. Quaintance. Our junior year was one of our biggest. That year we had charge of the concession stand at the basketball games. Our class play, Three Blind Dates , was a big success. This year we worked on our prom. Its theme was Deep Purple . The orchestra was that of Hank Armentrout of Lima. Our teacher was Miss Stauffer. The big year finally arrived. We're seniors now and it's like sitting on top of the world. Although no annual was published in 1953 we are cpublishing one now. Again this year as in the past three, the seniors are con ucting an Easter chapel. We also presented a class play entitled Drums of Death . Our home room teachers are Miss Stauffer and Mr. Quaintance. I think the day I'll remember longest is commencement day. As I received my diploma, my mind drifted back to the September day when the shy first graders filed into school. These twelve years have gone fast for us seniors- too fast maybe-but they have been twelve happy ones. For this we seniors wish to thank our parents, our teachers, and our friends. C0mPlim9f't-9 vf Compliments of GILIQA GARAGE - - HARRY WEAVER Gilboa, 0hi0 CLASS PROPHECY It's been twelve years since that dear old class of 54 has graduated from Ottawa Public. Oh! You say you're curious to hear about them? Letis move on- Remember Susie McClure? Now there is a girl who has really profited. Mak- ing a fortune after inheriting her mother's interior decorating business, Susie, herself, was the one who last year completely modemized Buckingham Palace. Susie's color scheme was always out of this world. Of course it would have to be, undertaking a job like that! The other day I splurged and bought two hats in that quaint hat shop, Le Chapeau. And who was there busily reprimanding the clerks? None other than the owner, herself, La Villa McLaughlin. La Villa told me this is her favorite pastime, when the oil business becomes dull. Some astime, I'd sayl Don't tell me you aren't sporting one of those darling, new Butcher-boy haircuts? That chic cutter of hair, Monsieur Bonaparte-Robert Agner in our day-told me himself they're the latest rage. Remember the way Bob's hair used to curl? Well, he still has some curls in front, but in back they-ve all disappeared, not only the curls, but the hairl You know yourself that nowadays haircutting presents countless problems. And have you heard about the hen that laid the golden egg? That's right, Hermiller's Hatchery has been brought before the public's eye ovemight. Karin told me the golden egg was a complete surprise and more than she and Iim could have hoped for. It seems that concerns all over the country are trying to buy the hen, but Karin, you know our Karin, said, No, not when golden eggs will bring in THAT kind of money. Professor Ronald F essler recently made the announcement to the world, that his experiment about acetic orange juice was a complete success. For years Professor F essler has been trying to get the full benefit of an orange, and thinks now that he has found what has been lacking in so many oranges-not enough flavor and too many seeds. One of the tragic events of the year was the death of Mrs. Frank Bucker, famous woman hunter. You'll remember Mrs. Bucker as Io-Ann Pargeon the girl who loved animals. But it seems the feelings weren't mutual. Trying to be playful with a tiger, Io's head came too near to his mouth. A fine girl. The President of the United States recently sent a new ambassador to Iceland. Raymond John Howe distinguished military hero, who violently-er-valiantly fought many battles for his country, has been promoted to this high appoint- ment. General Howe said that he would endeavor to uphold the prestige of the United States and would never let a frigid attitude develop between our country and Icelandf, Speaking of the President of the United States, were ou surprised to hear that Lucia Wootton is the presidential candidate of the Wflig Party? All through her high school days, it was Lucia who knew her govemment. Now we see her ability to rattle off dates and amendments is bringing results. Down deep we always knew that someday Lucia would run our country. Iim sure you all recall that little girl who sat in the back of the stud! hall, quietly studying her text. It must have payed off, for Shirley Frey, note liter- ary writer was announced the winner of the Nobel Prize. Her School Day Memories was universally praised by literary critics, as an outstanding con- tribution to the field of literature. Her picture can be seen in leading magazines everywhere. I hope that Joyce Gulker has not been forgotten, you'll remember her as the girl who bravely volunteered to be her doctor husband's guinea pig in his first operation. Allen said the operation was of an extremely delicate nature and not just anyone could be used. For what other earthly reason would doctors marry? It's been said that to this day, Ioyce has not fully recovered from the effects of the anesthetic. Of course you remember Sue Pierman, Miss Putnam County of 1958. No, she didn't go on to become Miss Universe but just the other day I read in the Poultry Journal that she is reigning as Miss Slick Chick of 1966. She resides on a lovely farm just north of Cilboa where she is very busily raising little Dukes . . . er, I mean ducks. -21- CLASS WILL I, dJohn Howe, being of comparatively soun mind and body fwhen compared to Fesslerj, do will all my clothes to anyone who promises to hang them up fcarefull you clumsy dolt of a peasant, you're wrink- ling the materiallj also my cud of gum in a certain senior cubby-hole goes to Skip Mason.

This affair was open to the juniors and seniors, along with their guests, and faculty members. The evening started off with a lovely banquet served by the juniors' mothers and the home economics students, in the basement of the Methodist Church. The tables were decorated beautifully with spring flowers and strands of purple crepe paper-Oops! I almost gave the theme away when the color was mentioned. On to the meall VVe couldn't wait to taste the food, and such food - luscious Swiss steak, surrounded by escalloped potatoes and com. Be- fore us lay a fruit salad, plus rolls smothered in butter. We must have looked extra hungry that night for the dessert was then brought in- huge pieces of cherry pie. Does it all sound delicious? Well, I can tell you, it wasl After our appetites had at last been curbed, the program began. Miss Stauffer gave the invocation and this was followed by the welcome given by junior class president, Io-Ann Pargeon. The response was made by Don McClure, the senior class vice president. A quartet of junior girls sang the peppy tune, june Is Bustin' Out All Overn, and everyone settled back in a more relaxed position. Mr. Sproul gave the faculty response that offered good advice to all students present. Everyone felt in the mood for dancing but had to wait until nine o'clock. Should we, or should we not tell our theme? We decided to wait until Hank Am1entrout's band played our theme song for the grand march. As our guests stepped out on the dance floor, they held their breath for the beauty which they beheld, the ceiling and walls were made of purple crepe paper and in the middle of the floor was a fountain that continued to spray water the entire evening. Behind the fountain was a white picket fence with clusters of wisteria hanging on it. Lat- tice works, with these same flowers, was connected to the fence, and served as a means of entering the dance floor. As the beautiful strains of Deep Purple' floated across the room, it wasn't hard to realize what the theme was. The room was truly decorated in keeping with Deep Purple , anywhere from a sleepy garden wall to stars begin to twinkle in the skies. This was an evening that is remembered by all those who participated in it, an evening that is classified by both juniors and seniors as the most unforgetable evening in their memory of high school events. -24- KOHLS - Home Dressed Meals STEINER MOTOR SALES Taft A e SALES :Sz SERVICE venu H 25 W Dodge-Plymouth Cars-Dodge Trucks Phone 186W Ottawa, Ohio Phone 89-B Pandora, Ohio Organ Prelude ....

September the eighteenth was the big day. Also at the beginning of the year we adopted money-making projects. These were selling Christmas cards, wrapping paper, stationery and sweat shirts. The juniors also took .in money from the concession stand at all our home basketball games. The next task was to give a junior class play, which, after a lot of worry and work, was a big success. In February we gave an assembly in commemoration of George Wash- ington's birthday. Right after this we began our preparations for the junior-Senior Prom. Our class took part in such extra-curricular activities as basketball, one-act plays, music and speech. -30- SOPHOMORE CLASS Seated: Beverly Strite, Bob Perky, Jim Cavanagh, Raymond Coleson, Ruth Kirkendall, Harriet Weaver, Nancy Howe. 2nd row: Bob Beach, Ruth Salsburey, Marlene Oglesbee, Brice Nelson, Ann Foster, Bonnie Coedde, Jim Klinger, Larry Agner, Bill Roberts, Paul Brennan, Miss Frey.

We have lost a member, jack Widmark, who moved to Indian Lake. We have also gained a member, Brice Nelson, from Leipsic. We now have an even number of boys and girls. The Class of 56 takes an active part in most school activities. We have boys on the basketball, baseball, and track teams. All the girls are in glee club and in mixed chorus. Most of the boys are also in music. We have eleven members in band, two being otlicers. They are Raymond Coleson, president, and Beverly Strite, secretary. There are three members who are on the Student Council, Nancy Howe, secretary, Beverly Strite, treasurer, and Raymond Coleson, our class representative. In Prince of Peace we have three members to participate, Ann Foster, Nancy Howe and Paul Brennan. When one-act plays come around most of the class takes part either in front of the curtain or Chapel and the St. Patrick's Day Assembly. On the Tawa Echo staff we have many special reporters. They do either reports on organizations or just reports on special events. Although we have lots of fun being sophomores, I am sure we all look for- ward to being juniors. -31- 1 Q3 FRESHMAN CLASS Seated: Sharon Roof, Ella Cox, Virginia Johnson, Janet Achors, Barbara Ward, Joyce Diehl Ardyth Ceer. 2nd row: Shirley Klinger, Carol Croy, Joyce Kemer, Ann Light, Ruth Pargeon, Rita Den- nings, Jill Pope, Mrs. Foster. 3rd row: Phil Seitz, Dick Millager, Dick Hoffman.

Phil Seitz September, eigth was a great day in the lives of the class of 1957. We became Freshmen. At last we were in high school. We started the year with twenty-one members but lost Bob Corbin, who moved back to Findlay. To start off the athletic season, two of the boys, Bob Corbin and Dick Hoffman, made the first nine in baseball. Three of the boys, Dick Millager, Phillip Seitz, and Dick Hoffman went out for basketball. One of the girls, Anne Light, was elected varsity cheerleader. Our entire class went out for the glee club and mixed chorus. Initiation proved not too diflicult and we survived it somehow. But next year we shall have our revenge. -32 -- lementarg 5, .4 ' ' W LZ si Z--ix?-'X 'Un Ottawa gn ELEMENTARY GRADE EIGHT Seated: Dick Mason, Danny Chamberlain, Linda Conine, Rose Frick, Ed Bracy, Larry Hinlemian, Charles Daub. 2nd row: jerry Smith, Pat Oren, Marlene Wilson, janet Closson, Lucy Coedde, Barbara Howe, Betty Howard, Pat Ifrey, Janice Fessler, Pat Diehl, Mr. Dangler. 3rd row: Marie Dennrngs, Kenny McLaughlin, Dick Schwab, Dick Kirkendall, Gene Miller, David Brennan, Ted Oard, Calvin Closson.

Mr. Bailey's life for years had been a wild flight from the vengeance of Thompson, the murderous cut-throat who was determined to obtain possession of this Stone of Munda-Rendovan. For this reason Bailey bought a ghostly mansion in the swamps and lived there like a hermit, however, Thompson found the place and came there in the middle of the night to warn Bailey that he would come for the stone. Immediately after receiving the message, Bailey dropped out of sight. Three nights after the mysterious disappearance of Bailey four women, relatives of Mr. Bailey, and Dr. Cameron, a suave and polished nerve specialist, arrived after being notified by fake telegrams that Mr. Bailey was very ill. Why were they summoned? Mrs. Sheldon Harley was the business manager in charge of Bailey's property but no one seemed to know iust where she came from. She had the task of finding out where Mr. Bailey was, why these people were lured there, and also of keeping the women out of danger and trouble, which they seemed to have a flare for getting into, especially Mrs. Gillete, a pompous, wealthy woman who had never taken an order in her life. The county sheriff, Newton Cooper, was brought in on the case. He was a well-meaning fellow but not very smart and spent most of his time worrying about his lost badge. Much mystery was added to the situation by jules, the Haitian negro servant, who was an ignorant, murderous animal that hated all strangers but was intensely loyal to his Missy Hah'ly g Celeste, the young octoroon servant from Martinique, who had weird trancesg and Mrs. Oakley, the Bailey housekeeper, who said she was about to break down under the tension, but always seemed to be standing in the doorway listening quietly to all conversations. ON E-AC T PLAYS LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON These three: Mr. Maxwell, a brow-beaten and hen-peeked husband, Wilbur Maxwell, the thirteen year old son who is disgruntled because his older sisters get everything and leave him holding the bag, and Hercules Nelson, Wilbur's bosom pal, who is intensely loyal but lacking in brain power. They Elan a campaign to make the women of the Maxwell family more aware of their sterling qua 'ties. To accomplish this they drink strawberry soda pop and say it is Betty Lou's poisonous bug blitzer which she has been working on in chemistry class. The plan back-fires when Connie, another daughter accidentally switches bottles and they really do drink the strawbeny pop. MATERIA MEDICA A comedy with an allifgirl cast of nurses and student nurses cranmiing for tests. Marguerite, the probationer, has di iculty keeping her mind on books and is a problem to her more studious companions. NO CLINGING VINE This play takes place on an early june evening in the Pendleton living-room in Southem Califomia. Lynda is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her boy-friend who has been studying diplomacy in Washington. She hopes to lead him to a proposal on this visit but her tplans are spoiled by his bringing the boss's daughter, Cecile Smythe, who is terrified o the bad Indians out in the West. . TELL IT TO THE MORANS Mr. Moran has a most confusing day trying to finish some estimates and keeping his three youn er daughters out of his lhair. They want many things, including separate bed- rooms, so they plan to marry off their older sister so that Dad's mone will stretch to them. The confusion is incrmsed when they invite Mr. Simmons to tea and' Mr. Symonds, whose estimates Mr. Moran has been working on, arrives instead. -48- DRAM ATI C S SENIOR CLASS PLAY DRUMS OF DEATH Seated: Karin Frey, Susie McClure, john Howe, Io-Ann Pargeon, Ioyce Gulker, Sue Piennan.

Every day found a different variety of songs, ranging from Hear the School Bell Ringing Clear to The Lord's Prayer . It was a great thrill for us as youngsters to be able to participate in annual Christmas operettas. During the eigth grade we presented Seven Old Ladies from Lavender Town . This operetta was proof that our voices were developing slowly but surely to enable us to undertake high school music. Music had a hold on our entire freshmen class. We had no trouble as greenies in keeping up with the rest of the high school singers. Our voices must have blended exceptionally well, for the girls' glee club received medals at state that year. Mrs. Basinger kept us busy as sophomores, and although we did not participate in contests, we did put on several school musical programs. In our junior year we again went to contest at Ada and under Mrs. Basinger's direction took a superior rating. We also received a superior rating in mixed chorus which competed in its Hrst year of existence. We also participated in the state contest at Springheld. This year, 54 , is our final year in music and contest is but a few short weeks away. We shall again be aiming at the state laurels which would crown the music achievements of our senior class. -54..

The team's captain and center. john is a good rebound- er and a good defensive and offensive player. SOPHOMORES Bob Perkey-A fighting sophomore, good passer and a very good shot. The fastest dribler on the team with lots of speed. A great asset to the team. jim Klinger-A scrappy guard who has been improving every game. A willing worker whose good ball handling has won him a place on the first five. A fighting rebounder. Bill Roberts-The first player with the Ottawa Indians last year and we find him a fighting rebounder and a good shot. If youive ever noticed when he jumps, he has a good twist to his hand and usually comes through with the tip-off. Larry Agner-He seems to have showed a good spirit through the season and has a lot of speed for dribbling after taking the rebounds. A good defensive man. Paul Brennan-We can usually count on Paul to get the ball from a tight scramble. His long arms reached for the rebounds and the ball goes sailing down the floor. FRESHMEN Dick Hoffman-The only freshman who played first live and a good one. He is a good rebounder and handles the ball well. His height is an advantage. He is a scrappy forward. -60- VARSITY BASKETBALL BOB PERKEY DICK HOFFMAN BILL ROBERTS JOHN HOWE JIM KLINCER PAUL BRENNAN LARRY AGNER - 61 ..

But as the picture was taken, the diamond-tipped bit had just broken the world's record. It was entering a brand new classroom --nearly 4 miles underground. The Ohio Oil Company had sent it there, at a cost of 3l,500,000, to find out if there are new sources of oil waiting at depths never before explored. As these words are written, it is not yet known whether or not this well will ever produce any oil. But it's sure to produce something even more im- portant: knowledge. New knowledge. And so long as we live in a country where indi- viduals and companies have the incentive to search for new knowledge . . . to find the new way, the better way . . . this nation will continue to move forward. For progress comes from pioneering . . . from a constant search with minds and dollars . . . to find what is wailing to be found. It comes from attending classrooms that are as vast as our own minds . . . as big as our lifetimes.
