The annual staff was really rushed for time, as the deadline was nearing and the schedule falling farther and farther behind. Everyone was running around like headless chickens. lt was really HEC TIC, and that is putting it mildly. time. However, the work is going smoothly, and it is hoped at this writing that the annual will be published on 2 f a 6 L7 13.5 Z Z' ' Z VX, 5 ,Z 5 6 A 0- 0 0 0 f 0 D i :Eff 0 f' N' U . db 1 'J 0 f I ,wwf 9 1 rj I ,' 1 k , , 17' 'fs' X, A X U ' J ' ,ff , f X I KZ G ,Q , Q A , I K K! 9 T' Q X 9 x-is 1 7 Q ., an 9 0 Q U 5 Cr U 6 C l Mr. M. I. Coon Dedication When the Mayflower staff was planning this yearbook, we unanimously chose to dedicate it to Mr. Coon. Mr. Coon came to Plymouth to accept the responsibility of the school administration in 1951when he replaced Mr. G. R. Dennis as superintendent. In the past three years he has done his best to make Plymouth Schools the best possible. Knowing P, H, S,, students, he must have had pretty funny and rather trying experiences. Although he is our superintendent and teacher, he is not interested in school affairs alone. Mr. Coon is active in community and church organizations and as a good citizen, he is interested and well informed in public affairs. He is a devoted family man. He and Mrs. Coon have two lovely children, Janice, aged 6 and Jimmy, aged 5. Therefore, we feel Mr. Coon sets a good example in every way. We proudly dedicate this 1954 Mayflower to Mr. M. J. Coon. 5 Sr Eack Row: Jim Hunt, Ray Einsel, Gary Levering, Bud Berberick, Royal Eckstein, Larry Root, Jim Jacobs, Mary Robertson, Otis Port, Bonnie Byle, Betty Sprowles. Center: Mr. Coon, sponsor. Student Council There's a left to the jaw, and a right, and then a left. The student council is at it again. It was a good thing the council held only two meetings of any importance. Other- wise,the classes might be absent an officer or two. Or Mr. Coon might be making frequent trips to the Toledo Insane Asylum. Only one item came up this year of any importance, and that was the problem of noon recreation. It is a lucky thing, too. Only two boys lost any teeth. More than one girl lost some hair. fAnd why does Mr. Coon's seem to be thinningrj Anyway, Mr. Coon called a meeting of the student council to discuss the matter. After talking it over and getting the ideas of the different classes, two programs were initiated. The gym was used for boys' basketball, girls' basketball, dancing, and volleyball. For those who didn't care to participate in active sports, a game room was set up in the science room. Checkers, mgngpoly. riddledywinkg, parcheesi, and Chinese checkers were available to anyone who cared to use them. A game of darts was bought, but after two or three days, it wasn't used. Nobody knows why. 6 La, 0 N ww 9,9 0 qt . I I I X Q, Q dr' A-lui? wi' SUPERINTENDENT MI. Maynard I. Coon Bluffton College Ohio State Univasity B. S.

As they climbed the stairs to room- 1, some were curious, some tear- ful, some timid, and still others completely dismayed. Miss Hamilton led the class through the alphabet, reading, and arithmetic. When Larry Root broke his leg, he started a class tradition! Every year following, at least one member ofthe class was injured. In the second grade, with Mrs. McFadden for a teacher, the class became greatly interested in choral reading. The selection of poems and short stories for this purpose was one of the outstanding features of the year. The following year, we had Mrs. Huffman for a teacher. By this time, we were quite grown- up. There were two grades below us whom we considered mere children! David Koser entered our class in the fourth grade. ln a short time he obtained the label of class- comic . With Mrs. Farrar, as our teacher, we toiled continually with the multiplication tables. The next year, under the leadership of Mrs. Ervin, the class gave the play The Proud Princess. Janis Taulbee and Alfred Parkinson joined the class that year. B1ind Man's Bluff and jumping rope being our favorite pastimes, we proudly entered the sixth grade. That year on Parents' Day , several of the classmates gave their first public speeches. Carol Kiess became a member of the class that year. There's no need to describe the class as seventh graders. We were normal and typical seventh graders! Mr. McMullen was our sponsor. We were proud to participate in Sun Bonnet Sue , a very success- ful operetta. Some of our most memorable days were spent in the old study hall during our first year in junior high. When we were in the eighth grade, everyone's attention was drawn to the new shop. Mr. McMullen was again our sponsor. Mr. Mercer started our freshman year with us, as our sponsor. Later we lost him to the Eskimos and Mrs. Mock became our sponsor. When the year was over, she moved to Texas! The high points of the year were initiation into high school, Vacation Daze, four first class dancej and presenting the cantata Hiawatha at commencement. Harriett Ray was credited to our class that year. During our sophomore year, we gained Lovell McKinney and Larry Wasserman. Mrs. Southard was our sponsor. On the snowiest, most woo and begone day of the year, we sponsored the Autumn Dance. Under the direction of Mr. Bednarczuk, in our junior year, we were very successful in presenting The Briar Hop , our class dance, and the Junior- Senior Banquet, The Stork Club . Miss Patton endured some very trying experiences directing our class play, Don't Take My Penny At last we reached our destination--senior year! This year we added Ray Kleman to our class roll. Presenting our play, Jumping Jewels , and our Good Luck Dance , as well as preparing for our class trip through many activities, has kept us quite busy. Mrs. Lanius is our sponsor. Now, as we end our long and eventful years together, sixteen of the original students and eight who have joined the class since, will always remember our ups and downs together. Graduation on May 26th will send us each in a different direction. We will always remember our classmates and the numerous teachers who have led us through the narrowest sections of the path to success. 21 rink W U Senior Class Prophecy ' nf,-,,,.f One day I decided to find what had happened to my classmates. I took a month's vacation from my nursing profession. Upon arriving in Plymouth, I found the home economics teacher was Janet Miller. The commer- cial teacher was Larry 'W?1'sErEri Tlie chemistry teacher turned out to bclloyal Eckstein. janet informed me that Plymouth now had two coaches, a head basketball coach and a head football coach. Upon seeing the coaches, I found them to be none other than Percy Dean lfootball coachj and Larry-RQ fbasketball coachl. Plymouth was now third in football standings and second in basketball. Perc and Larry seemed to be doing a great job with the teams. Janet also told me that Robert Wirth was study- ing to be a professor of English. Carol Kiess was also in college studying for her Masters Degree. While shopping in Plymouth, I met Donna Baker , who 'told me she had been married for four years and had twins. Since this was toward the end of the school year, Janet said if I would wait, she would be glad to accompany me on the trip. First, we traveled to Cleveland to visit Geor ianna Pitzen, who had become a professional ice s ater. From Cleveland, we left for New York City. When we arrived in New York, wt- went into a little shop, THE FASHION SHOP, We found the owners were Janis Taulbee and Shirley Bradford. Janis was nowlalleading lfat designerf When their models came out, we found two of them to be Harriett Ra and Sandra Trauger. Sandra and Har- 1T 1'ld-GZ they TlscThad HTeif-oivn television show. Janet decided to go into a beauty shop to have her hair set. We found one of their hair de- sioners to he Shirley lletler. by LOVCH Mc Kinney We spent a few days in New York, then flew down to Florida. At the hotel where we registered, we came upon Vir inia Bevier, who said she was living in Florida wifh' EeTfaTrily and pet monkey. Upon finding we had enough money, we flew to California. We were on a sight-seeing tour of Hollywood, when Janet thought she saw a familar face. Upon closer observation, we found it to be Alfred Par- kinson who was now a major in the air force and stationed in California. Janet and I decided to visit a movie set. When we arrived on the set, we were surprised to see David Koser. Dave told us he was now a movie star whE'had the second leading part in the movie STARS OF GLORY 'l. He told us his personal agent was RObCl't Fogleson, After five days in California, we left for home. The plane was grounded in Utah. They said it would be about an hour's wait before the flight would be resumed. Janet and I decided to get someting to eat. While on the way, we passed a sign which read MUMEA'S GARAGE. Out of curiosity we went in and sure enough it was Ronald Mumea. One of his salesmen turned out to be Iafkwiss. When we arrived home, we came upon Elsie Reber who was just going on her vacation. 'EEE was now a private secretary to an insurance firm in Cleveland. While in Columbus shopping, we met Lee Steele who told us he was assistant basketbalfrf- ach at Ohio State. We also met Ray Kleman who was in Col- umbus on farm business. He and his father farm on a partnership. It seemed that they had become a credit to PHS- I UU x 4 l F' sr JI , '10 l-lull Jr,1rI -- - We, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty- four, do hereby make, and declare this as our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills here-to-fore made by us.

Ar. rARKlNSON LARRY ROOT SANDRA TRAUGER BOB WIRTH JANIS TAULBEE LEE STEELE DIRECTOR JUMPING JEWELS A mystery- comedy in 3 acts and a prologue. A dim old family portrait, hanging over the mantel in a family mansion fnow a tourist homej, plays a central part in this thrilling play that has so many ex- citing and scary moments, and yet is so full of romance and farcical fun. Sometimes it's a string of stolen pearls that creates the excitement fthe thief has hidden them back of the portrait, and a confederate is there to pick them upjz sometimes it's the machinations of a pair of shrewd picture dealers from the city that create the suspense. For one dealer intends to trick the Scott's into selling the picture for a mere S25.00, and the other knows well that the picture is a bargain at several thousand. Each of two young couples has used the picture as a handy mailbox for their love notes land of course the notes get crossed, and there's a humorous mix- up that lands one girl in the arms of her brother instead of her boy friend, while the other girl finds herself in the arms of a perfectly strange young man 1. So, for various reasons, a number of people are hanging around the old portrait, and viewing each other with considerable suspicion Add to this a pair of hot- tempered fathers who quarrel with each other, but whose young people have fallen in love, and you have the ingredients of a fine play with a splendid array of parts. In addition, there's Fann, the maid, whose snappy romance with the Irish taxi driver provides so much fun and laughter through out the play and brings down the curtain on the third act in a perfect gale of laughter. at. 7 0 O fo' ,offs ,Q n .o.o .0 0 Q 'I .

Pat Chronister Sponsor .............. Emil Sarpa The play, A-Feudin' Over Yonder , a hillbilly comedy, was presented to a capacity crowd Friday, November 20, It was liked very much. The play centered around the feudin' families, the Frys and the Popoffs, especially Zeke. The scene was always the Fry cabin, where some hilarious incidents took place. As the cur- tain parted the first time, the Fry cabin was brought into view. There was seated Izzie Fry, wash- ing his feet. Finishing, he threw the water into the audience and walked out. Clem taunted Rosie Belle about the fact that no boys seemed to be chasing her. Rosie Belle declared she would show him. Willy entered then and sat down on the bench beside Emmy. He almost proposed. His fall- ing off the bench interfered. Willy left to stomp the juice from some grapes with his large feet. ln act three, 'tne rry cabin now appeared cleaned up in preparation for the coming wedding. Flowers were on the table, bows over the doors. A jovial time followed, with square dancing and singing. Rosie Belle took a drug, meant for Maw Fry, and laid down her gun. Zeke and Pappy Popoff came in. Rosie confessed her love for Zeke and they were being married when Rosie Belle snapped out of her IIHHCC.

A- Feudin' Over Yonder , a hillbilly comedy in three acts, was presented by the juniors on Novem- ber 20, 1953. The director was Mr. Sarpa. The junior dance, entitled Spring Frolics, was held March 26, 1954. Music was furnished by Strine's Orchestra for both round and square dancing. The Junior-Senior Prom was held on May 7. The junior boys provided but three boys for football and three for basketball. There were two girls that were football cheerleaders and two were basketball cheerleaders. There were also two girls on the girls' basketball team. The juniors had concessions at the football games, had a magazine drive, and sold pennants, pens, and stationery to make money. The junior homecoming attendant was Pearl Lucas. She was escorted by John Fox. The junior class has a number of members in the band and other musical organizations. Sophomore Activities Next we present the sophomore class. They've had a very successful year with their many activities. When football season rolled around, the Plymouth football squad was honored by having so many sophomores turning out. For homecoming they chose as their class attendant, Carol Evans. The reserve squad was supported by the sophomores as it consists mostly of sophomores. These boys were backed by Mary Robertson and Rose Fenner, who cheered their hearts out for them. Their dance, TheSad'ie Hawkins Day Dance, with Gene Reitchlin 's Orchestra featuring both round and square dancing was a very successful event. The Future Homemakers of America had a Sweetheart Ball this year and Mary Robertson was chosen to represent her class at this galaaffair. The sophomores have been very active this year and will probably be just as active as next year's juniors Freshman Activities It would be hard tc tell all the many activities our little freshies have participated in this year, but here are a few of the many. The freshman boys were ready and willing to fight when football season came. Daher Huzovich started her career as cheerleader during football season. She did a fine job in representing her class. When basketball season rolled around, there were many excited fireshman girls out for cheerleading. Daher Huzovich and Joan Postema were honored to be elected from the group. For homecoming atten- dant, they chose Marcia McGregor. The big event of the year for the freshmen was the F,H,A, Sweetheart Ball. This was a big moment. fOr H freshman girl, Jo Anne Briggs, as she was chosen to reign over the dance as F .H.A. Sweetheart. Roberta Bachrach was the freshman attendant. The Sweetheart was escorted by Gene Baker. Roberta was escorted by Franklin Eckstein. Hats off to the freshmen as they have proved to be a swell group of kids. 37 I .X -C -L iii-1 X ?'s Y f X f 77'M?

Homecoming Students and alumni alike will long remember the 1953 Homecoming. Queen Shirley Bradford and her court reigned over the festivities. Shirlcy's attendants were Harriett Ray-senior, Pearl Lucas-junior, Carol Evans-sophomore, and Marcia McGregor- freshman. The Coronation was between the halves of the game with Co- Captain Royal Eckstein presenting the crown. The Pilgrims gave their fans a special reason to celebrate by defeating Wakemen 28 to 13. Following the game, the court reigned at the Home coming Dance. The cheerleaders and the victorious Plymouth team were also honored. . oe' s s e I SHIRLEY BRADFORD---QUEEN Homecoming Royal ty ,of 1 T 4 . 1 'Sf x '!LYQx J X Q i 5 i H i o m , 6 Q V C 2 2 o ffl 5 A O ?

The first team encountered in the season was Buckeye. Buckeye emerged the winner. In the next en- counter, the speedy St. Paul's eleven from Norwalk chalked up another win. Bellville was the next opponent, and Plymouth lost in a well- fought game. In this game the first touchdown of the season was made, making the Pilgrims the first team to score against Bellville eleven. Plymouth lost to Butler after another hard fought game. Injuries to Royal Eckstein, captain of the team, kept him from playing in the last three games of the season. The Pilgrims traveled to Lodi and tied them 7-7 breaking their three- year losing streak. The next foe , was Margaretta and the Pilgrims were the losers. Plymouth was determined to win a game this season and with this in mind, they defeated Wakeman 28-13. This was really a festive Homecoming for the Pilgrims. It was their first victory since the 1951 season. It was a fitting climax to a good football season. And thus ended the season of 1953. As we look back over the season, we think that we did well under the excellent direction of Coach Kreutzfeld. Congratulations to the Pilgrims for entertaining the fervent spectators of football with one of the best seasons this school has had. ii. F i i R T i 1 , 0 0 K 3 Uh' 3 .

They carry the water, and when they run out, they go get more. They attend to the boys' in- juries. For all of this they get a letter, nothing more.

Although the junior high squad didn't compete with teams from other schools, they gained valuable experience and a knowledge of the game. The main purpose of the junior high training is to teach the fundamentals of football. The team worked hard and in the future, we hope to see them as the grid heroes holding the line and making TD's for a mighty Pilgrim team. ff 1 1 'Q 1 1 K Hardware MILLERS' Appliances Nw X Beniamin Moore Paints - Varnishes - Enamels Phone 20 Sporting Goods Ply., Ohio .-..... 65 f P an W gg li liliir 55, E'l fl ss?

They completed the season with seven wins and only one defeat to their credit. In view of the victorious season against neighboring junior high teams, Plymouth can well hope for a championship team when these youngsters play varsity basketball.

The mixed chorus, under the direction of Mr. Dubbert, was quite active considering the limited time they had to practice. No regular time was set aside on the schedule for the chorus, so they practiced only once a week on a rotating class period. The mixed chorus opened the Christmas Concert with a candle-light procession land no burnt fingersj. Their selections included Silent Night, Break Forth C-lBeautious Heavenly Lght, Q Hoy N-ight, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The first part of February, the mixed chorus moved to room 9, which they shared with the band. At the March P.T.A, meeting, the chorus sang their contest numbers. For the second year the Plymouth chorus took part in the District '7 Music Contest at Ashland College. The contest was held on March 20 with the Plymouth chorus singing If My Song Had Wings and Preserve My Soul. The County Music Festival was held at Shelby High School on April 3. We sang our contest numbers for our part in the program. By this time, we could sing Preserve My Soul and If My Song Had Wings backwards and every chorus member fairly groaned at the mention oreither song. The chorus furnished music for Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises and this completed their 5635011- Concert Bond Plymouth boasts an active concert and marching band again this season. The band is under the direction of MI. Dubbert. The band elected the following officers to assist Mr. Dubbert: Nelson Roberts - president, Janet Miller- vice-presidentg Carol Evans- secretaryg Jack McQuate - treasurerg and Janet Smith - librarian. Both junior and senior bands gave summer concerts on the public square. With band members all going on vacations at different times, we never had a full band at any one time. The band presented a concert at the band festival on the school lawn. The festival was sponsored by the Band Mothers' Club on July 23, 1953. The band received much praise for their County Fair theme at their concert at the Huron County Fair. The marching band was kept quite busy during football season. They put on a hall- time show for every. football game at home and away. This took much practice and the band rehearsed Speriodsa week plus a number of'7-A.M. rehearsals.At those morning practices, the cold fall air kept even the sleepiest band members wide awake.

After football season, the band concentrated on the music for the Christmas concert of December 20, 1953. Along with a number of Christmas carols, the band featured The Childrens, Prayer from the operetta Hansel Qi Gretel and the March of the Tin Soldiers. As soon as the new music CHIHC, the band started practicing for the spring concert on May 2, 1954. Rogers and Hammerstein numbers, The 'Snyncopated Clock, and Stars and Stripes Forever by Sousa, were the favorite pieces of the band members. During concert season, the band rehearsed 3 times a week and had 55 members ranging from sixth graders to seniors. The band is planning to march in the Memorial Day parade and to give summer concerts again this summer. .,.,.. Q ,.

Janis Taulbee, Shirley Bradford, Sue Helbig, Janet Norris, and Daher Huzovich were the football cheerleaders. The varsity basketball fans were led in cheers by Shirley Bradford, Jan- is Taulbee, Janet Norris, and Jeannette Bettac with Sandra I-Iuzovich as mascot. Elected as reserve basketball cheerleaders were Mary Robertson, Rose Fenner, Daher Huzovich, and Joan Postema. This year quite a few things were changed among the cheerleading squad. First was the change from the regular slacks and sweater outfits to skirts and weskits in red and white corduroy and red and white blouses for football season. They started regular routine practices under their sponsor, Mrs. Kreutzfeld. This practice paid off when Plymouth participated in the Iberia tournament. The varsity basketball cheerleaders were honored by being named the best cheerleaders and received a plaque which was placed in the trophy case at school. There was a new look in basketball cheerleaders' uniforms too, as the girls came out with red gabardine pleated skirts and red and white gabardine blouses. The reserves also had new uniforms of red corduroy. They elected these girls as their officers: Shirley Bradford - president, Jeannette Bettac - vice- presidentg and Rose Fenner - secretary -treasurer. A11 three squads did a good job in cheering the teams on whether they won or lost.

They elected the following officers: President: Betty Reed Vice President: Carol Cobb Secretary: Janet Miller Treasurer: Pat Chronister Parliamentarian: Mary Robertson Song Leader: Janet Smith Twenty-three members attended the county F.H.A. meeting at Lexington High School on October 19. Mary Robertson, Janet Smith and Shirley Bradford were the models for the Sesquicentennial Style Review at the rally. Sandra Trauger was a narrator of the review. The next big event for Future Homemakers of America, was initiation which took place on the 26th of October. The freshman girls were terrified as they waited in the hall for initiation to start. They were blindfolded and led into a dark room where only a candle was burning. This was the branding room. After they were branded on the foot with an ice cube, they walked over worms L wet noodles, and rotten I0lT1aIOCS1. Oh, what a gory messl . After a number of ordeals, .they were given the honor of cleaning up the mess. When everything was spotless again, everybody ate. Then the freshies were led through town and to the cemetery. Each girl was given one match with which she had to get the names and dates of people off of three tombstones. A few ofthe girls went ahead of the freshies in the hope of scaring them but the plan back-fired as some boys were hiding behind the tombstones awaiting our arrival. One of the boys had a sheet over him and jumped out at us. Even if the plan did back-fire, we all had a good laugh. I am sure the freshies will never forget F.H.A, initiation. The Plymouth Chapter of Future Homemakers of America chose JoAnne Briggs as their Sweetheart. The other members of the Sweetheart Court, were Janet Miller - seniorq Carol Cobb - junior: Mary Robert- son - sophomore, and Roberta Bachrach - freshman. The Sweetheart was crowned by Mrs. Frances Waines, the F.H.A. sponsor. Entertainment followed the coronation. After this, JoAnne and her court were honored with a candle- light ceremony, sweethearts dance, and grand march. The formal Sweetheart Ball was held on February 26, 1954 with Eugene Reitsch1in's Orchestra pro- viding the music for dancing.
