DEDICATION During this Sesquicentennial year in Ohio we pause to reflect on the historic events occurring in our state and the suc- cessful progress attained by our citizens. We are also proud of the achievements that have been made in our own community, espe- cially in our educational system. Therefore, it is altogether fitting that we pay special tribute to one who for the last sixteen years has had the educa- tional interest of our community at heart. It is, indeed, with pride that we hereby dedicate our annual to MR. JOHN E. PAYNTER who will always be remembered in this com- munity for his devotion to his calling, his loyalty to our community, his concern for right conduct, his regard for his tea- chers, and his affection for the students and his interest in their future. 14.2- lit ' ,- . rf ' af Kamik ,-V . -4, , L41 Perry Memorial, a 352-foot-high gran- ite -shaft at Put-in-Bay, commemorates Perry's naval victory during the War of 1812 and more than one hundred years of peace between Great Britain and the United States. 7? .'.

The sun never shone on a country more fair Than beautiful, peerless Ohio. There's life in a kiss of her rarefied air, Ohio, prolific Ohio. Her sons are valiant and noble and bright, Her beautiful daughters are just about right, And her babies, God bless them, are clear out of sight-- That crop never fails in Ohio! Our homes are alight with the halo of love, Ohio, contented Ohio. We bask in the smiles of the heavens above-- No clouds ever darken Ohio. gold in the sun, equalled by none, weigh most a ton-- Ohio! Our grain waves its billows of The fruits of our orchards are And our pumpkins, some of them We challenge the world in Our girls are sweet models of maidenly grace In this modern Eden, Ohio. They are perfect in figure and lovely in face, That's just what they are in Ohio. ' Their smiles are bewitching and winning and sweet, Their dresses are stylish, yet modest and neat, A Trilby would envy their cute little feet, In beautiful, peerless Ohio. When the burdens of life I am called to lay down, I hope I may die in Ohio. I never could ask for a more glorious crown Than one of the sod of Ohio. And when the last trump wakes the land and sea, And the tombs of the earth set their prisoners fre You may all go aloft if you choose, but for me, I think I'll just stay in Ohio. --- Anonymous 9: Supt.

JOHNNY APPLESEED Johnny Appleseed is the name applied to John Chapman, born near Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1775. He came to Ohio about 1801 and his family settled at Marietta a little later. His favorite pursuit was to make a clearing in the forest and plant apple seeds. He created many such nurseries. He was both gen- erous and kind, but considered it wrong to spend money on fine clothes, consequently his garments were very crude and full of patches. It is said he refused to live indoors and his favorite sleeping place was in the trees. He would not kill an animal, and for this reason would not burn wood which contained worms. He was friendly both with the whites and the Indians and was highly regarded by both. He seemed to have an ever-ready store of funds which he was willing to share with needy settlers. He is regarded as the pioneer nurseryman of the country in which he journeyed. Johnny Appleseed is said to have once owned land in or near Mt. Blanchard. The tract just south of the park and east of the park road was said to have once been planted to Johnny's apple trees, as well as part of the farm along the river now owned by James Lawton. Monuments have been erected to him in Ohio in Ashland, Mans- field and in Mill Creek Park, Youngstown. He is buried at Fort Wayne, Indiana, where a memorial is to be built to his memory.

The early white set- tlers were also attracted to the river valley. One of the early men to come to this area was a cultured French tailor named Jean Jacques Blanchard who settled among the Shawnee Indians, married a squaw and reared a family of seven children. It was said he spoke Parisian French, had an intimate acquaintance with Greek and Latin and a liberal education. He was a man with all a Frenchmanfs culture and refinement. He lived thirty years with his Shawnee wife having twelve children, seven of whom lived to adulthood. A son became chief' of part of the tribe which moved to Iowa in 1857. It was for this man that the Shawnees named the Blanchard River. Jean Jacques Blanchard was supposed to have died on the site of Old Fort Findlay, almost in the heart of what is not the city of Findlay, in 1802, just a year before Ohio became a state. 1I.'I vxll .. Hx. fj I HOW HANCOCK COUNTY WAS NAMED Hancock County, founded in 1828, was named for John Hancock who was not only the first signer of the Declaration of Indepen- dence, but who gained notice by writing his signature in such large bold letters so that King George III of England in spite of his poor eyesight might not fail to read it. Thus the saying, nput your John Hancock right heren came into existence. John Hancock was also president of the Continental Congress. VA L .E D1 C TCDKY HAVE WE PREPARED OURSELVES FOR THE FUTURE? Mr. Superintendent, Members of the School Board, Parents, Teachers, Fellow members of the Senior Class, Friends: We are assembled here tonight to mark the end of our happy high school days. Soon we shall be out on our own, working to make a success of our lives. The question in my mind tonight is: Are we prepared for that life which lies ahead of us? Some of us, perhaps, feel that the world owes us a living. Does it really owe us anything? My immature reasoning tells me that we should not expect too much from the world, but that we must meet the world half way in life's struggles. The story has been handed down through the centuries that Hercules, the fabled god of strength, once came upon a man whose cart was stalled in the mud and mire. The man bewailed his sad plight. Hercules is said to have exclaimed: Get out, you sluggard, and put your shoulder to the wheel! The gods help only those who help them- selves. Some of us shall, doubtless, go to college. Tonight, we are proud to be finishing our course, yet sad to depart from our fac- ulty and student friends. Possibly we so-called dignified seniors feel too strongly that we have accomplished wonders. And, of course, we ought to feel justly proud, for this is one of the experiences in our lives that we shall never forget. But, when we enter college next fall as freshmen, we shall again have that same small feeling that we had when we entered high school as freshmen. We shall be little greenies on thenthreshold of another educational adventure. We are told that as a sophomore in college one gets that big feeling again, but by the time one reaches his senior year he realizes that the spirit of mortal should not nec- essarily be proud. There is much in the world to be learned, much to be done. It is our privilege to live in this age when each of us has an opportunity to do his bit. If this bit is in the armed forces of our mmumry, we should be proud, for welive in the greatest nation in the world. Although we do not like to think of it, we should be ready and willing to fight, and, if necessary, to give up our lives for it in time of war. In looking back over our high school days, I have wondered yum how well we have prepared ourselves for that new life which awaits us. My experience, limited as it is,tells me tain things which we should have by this time tain attitudes which should be awdtal part of and that if we have missed them, we have not tunities which have been presented usa Have we learned to be trustworthy ladies matter where we are? Have we as a class come that there are cer- accomplished, cer- our everyday lives, accepted the oppor- and gentlemen, no to the realization that good health is highly important to a successful life. Have we taken unto ourselves dunzmoral training which we need through life? Already we should have learned to revere the Bible and all places of worship. Character development will mmnlfsst itself in the lives that we lead. Let us learn to practice good citizen- ship.h1every way, for a.good citizen is an asset to any community. It is quite obvious that we have had great opportunities thus far. We greatly appreciate the faculty of Mt. Blanchard High School for theirfinshnxwion, guidance, and friendship through our high school years. At times they have had to exert great patience with our youthful whims, but being wise in the ways of youth, they have carefully guided us with good counsel as well as imparted to us much knowledge. We reluctantly leave them and wish them future success. We urge our younger schoolmates to profit by our mistakes, for we have doubtlessly left many things undone and unlearned while getting our small degree of knowledge. We wish you a happy and successful conclusion to your high school days. W To you, our parents, who have made many sacrifices for us, we express our love and our gratitude for keeping us in school. We know that you are happy with us on this night. We as a class wish to promise that we shall endeavor during the years ahead to make you proud of the fact that you kept us in Mt. Blanchard High School until we finished the course. a0WJ1.6'W,w a. vi 5 S A L U TAT CD KY YOUTH IN THE ATOMIC AGE Mr. Superintendent, Mr. Principal, Rem Cryer, Members of thg School Board, Parents, Teachers, and Friends: We come to you tonight with greetings and a hearty welcome. We greet our beloved faculty who have guided and helped us so patiently and perseveringly to overcome the obstacles along the road of Knowledge through these many years of our school life, our parents who have provided for us and sponsored us during all the years that we have been preparing ourselves for our life careers, and the officials of our school and patrons who have made it possible for us to carry on and thus attain the goal to which we have aspired--graduation. In fact, we greet all who have been in any way responsible for this grand occasion. We hope to repay you in the years ahead by applying the lessons we have learned and the instructions we have received, in an earnest effort to make our lives as useful and successful as we know you wish them to be. And what does Graduation mean? Is it important to us? To all of us it marks the seccessful completion of a certain course of study. To some of us, it means the ending of our school activities and the beginning of our life's work. ITO others it means the beginning of a higher course of study--a fuller and more studied preparation. What does life hold in store for the student fresh from the sheltering influence of the classroom? The outlook on life is far more complicated now than it was a century or even a half century ago. The last fifty years has seen greater achievements than any other half century in the world's history. The farmer of today is no longer an isolated person as he was in pioneer days. If he needs repairs for his farm implements, he steps into his automobile, drives to town, and is back at work in a few minutes. His produce is taken to market in a gasoline truck over excellent highways. In the evenings he reads his daily paper by electric lights or is entertained by radio or television. The business man of San Franciso, who has business to attend to in New York, may have his breakfast in his own home, his lunch in Kansas City, and his dinner in New York. Or he may travel to other parts of the world in a matter of a few hours. Scientific research is completely changing the world's industries, its warfare,and its medical aspect, In war, a single bomb is capable of destroying a whole city and its inhabitants, and that same atomic energy is used as a superior power in our industrial world. In the medical world, the sulpha drugs and penicillin have come to the front in mastering diseases that were classified as incurable, and in treating the battle wounds of soldiers. In this scientific age, there is a great need for skilled leaders in many fields. There is a great need for educational and political leaders, as well as for industrial and scientific leaders. But there is a greater need for spiritual and moral leaders to counteract the alarming increase of crime and juvenile delinquency. The Second World War brought about a worse situa- tion than the preceding one. Can you imagine what the after effects of a third conflict may be? What greater vocation could there be than that of a creator of peace among the nations of the world? What greater glory could anyone ask than to be a modern Prince of Peace? We can not all perform miracles. However, we can put into our life-work the very best that is in us and make the world better for our having lived and shared in its activities. Perhaps we have set our goals too high, but we do not think so. It is better to nring the bells of the future than to have only reached the ropes of the past.u No longer are we seniors to travel and work together as a group, but as individuals. We are to rely upon ourselves, individually, to succeed or fail, accordingly as we put our hearts and minds and hands to the task before us. But,classmates, may our dictionaries know no such word as nfailure.n And may we go forth with courage and fortitude to combat the puzzling problems of this--the atomic age. finds My . 'V . 'ff .

Of those thirty-one, there are just nine of us that have climbed that hill all the way together and are graduating this spring. They are Esther Alge,Beverly Bowman, Doneeta Eushong, Tom Edie, Don Elsea, DeWayne Fields, Louise Hickle, Dale Snook, and Darold You g. Through the years, we found the hill somewhat rugged. Be- cause of this, some of our classmates fell behind, but sometimes we would gain some new ones. After eight years of struggling with the fundamental three R's, we started up the last span, known as high school. We entered the high school doors with thirty-one members again on September 6, l9h9. At a class meeting we elected Dale Snook, president, Janet Betts, vice-president, Jean Brown, secre- tary-treasurer, Louise Hickle, reporter, and Joan Crawford, student council member. On November L, l9h9, we were initiated by the upperclassmen. We were lucky as we had only a half-day of initiation. But at last, we were full-pledged members of the high school body. On September S, l9SO, when the school bell rang once more, we gathered together as sophomores. There were twenty-seven of us to answer the roll call. This year we again elected Dale Snook, president, Joan Crawford, vice-president, Jean Brown, secretary- treasurer, DeWayne Fields, reporter, and Jean Price, student council member. Twelve members of our class were asked to serve at the ban- quet given in honor of the seniors of 1951. We closed our second year of high school with all of us awaiting our last two years with eagerness. At the beginning of our junior year little did we realize how quickly the next two years would pass. This year we had dwindled to a total of twenty-three. We elected the following officers: president, Joan Crawfonh vice-president, DeNayne Fields, secretary, Jean Brown, treasurer, Louise Hickle, reporter, Dale Snook, and student council members, Paul Buess and Joan Crawford. On October 22, l9Sl, we selected our rings. We received them on January 3, l9S2. On December h,l95l, the seniors honored us with a reception, which we enjoyed very much. On January lb, we gave our class play, HNo Boys' Allowed,n which we enjoyed presenting very much. Seven members, Esther Alge, Jean Brown, Paul Buess, Joan Crawford, Louise Hickle, Dean Schaller, and Dale Snook, were initiated into the National Honor Society at a banquet held at Cory-Rawson on April 15. On May 9, we honored the seniors at a banquet with the gypsy as our theme. It was hard work but we hope everyone enjoyed it. At last, on September 9, we, by sitting in those coveted seventh and eighth rows of seats in study hall, realized that we were finally reaching the top of our hill of education. For our last year, we nominated DeWayne Fields, president, Dean Schaller, vice-president, Tom Edie, secretary, Paul Buess, treasurer5Jean Price, reporter, and Dean Schaller and Dale Sncok, student council representatives. On December 2, we gave the juniors a reception, and this spring they gave us a beautiful banquet, which all of us appreci- ated and enjoyed very much. Our class gave their senior play on April 9 and lO. The title of the play was HCinderella Rose' by Jay Tobias. We wish to thank Miss Nesbaum for her help in making both of our plays a huge success. Now, as we have reached the top of our hill and all of us will leave this school to travel our different roads of life, we wish to extend our sincere, thanks to all of those, including Mr. Paynter, our sponsor, who have made those twelve years an easier and a happier hill to climb. ,8c.a., .14 me., W ,N 5 ..', Q, 45- . x?'I h -,-3,261 lk, 'x ESV Qvqwv Ji! fs CLASS PKOPHECY As the clock was slowly ticking the minutes of the day, I sat at the piano thinking of twenty years gone by, of dear old Mt,Blanchard High School and my classmates and wondering if they, too, had made a success of their lives as I had because now I was a concert pianist on tour in Paris, France. My dream come true! As I sat there, I recalled the names of my classmates and remembered that Paris, France, brought a familiar name to mind. Louise Hickle, who was one of my chums in school, was a general in the Women's Air Force,supreme commander of the women overseas, and was stationed right here in Paris. When I called her office andgot in touch with her personaUW, she was delighted to hear my voice. We made an appointment for dinner the next day and decided we could take a twenty-day va- cation and spend a day with each of our classmates. Since Louise owned a private passenger plane, we left the next day to find out where and how our twenty classmates were. We made a scrapbook of notes and pictures of our vacation and are sending it to our dear old commercial teacher, Mrs. Curtis. We hope she has many happy hour reminiscing with this scrapbook. The first stop brought us to London. Jean Price is a buyer of clothing for Her Majesty,Queen Elizabeth II. She looks like a queen herself--for she dresses so expensively and is so happy in her work, She helped us greatly about where some of our class- mates are because she had been writing regularly to them. The next stop was New York. Here we found a current show of Hot-Rod racers, owned by DeWayne Fields and Holland Rodabaugh. The boys took us for a ride in their newly built hot-rod. It went only a mere 210 mph. Also in the big city of New York, we found Diane Parish, establisher, owner, and private nurse in a newly built hospital for disabled war veterans. She has only five hundred patients now, but she loves her job. She told us that we could find Paul Buess as chief of staff of the Medical College of Virginia. We found out later that his private secretary was a former classmauh Doneeta Bushong, who likes her chief very well. Cherry Point,North Carolina, was our next destination. Here we found Clyde Hendricks, a deep-sea diver, in submarine work. He had just got back from a trip into the world under the sea, and he told us many interesting tales. Our next stop was Miami,Florida. Retired at a young age was Darold Young. We asked him why he had retired so young, and he said that he wasn't retired exactly but he didn't have to work either. He has six sons running his beach hotel for him, and he just bosses them around, Next, we went to Cleveland, Ohio, to see the great.Don Elsea, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, pitch a no-hit game. He said that it was nothing new, that he had been doing it for the past ten years. Hollywood was' our next stop. Frank Koehler had become a movie star after so many years as a football hero, but he still plays football. His current show is WMr. Touchdown, U.S.A.n He told US where we could find Dale Snook and Jim McDaniel. They are in Hollywood too, only for a different reason. They are partners in designing clothing for movie actresses. Next, we crossed the border into Mexico. Here we found Esther Alge, owner of huge restaurant business, famous for its chili. She said she liked the business, especially the HSenor.H We left Mexico and traveled on south to Argentina. Here we found a triple partnership of farms owned by Don Riegle, Tom Edie and Jim Bowman. They own three thousand acres of land, farm it all themselves, and raise anything you may want. Next, we flew to Hawaii. Here wefound Ralph Smith, professor of the University of Honolulu. He majored in dancing and teaches those Hawaiian maids how to dance. We journeyed from Hawaii to Japan where we found Ruth Wilch as an air-line stewardess to the Japanese Air-Lines. She makes a trip around the world once every week new. The U. S. A. was again our destination where we found one of our classmates who never had left dear old Mt. Blanchard. She is a successful beauty operator and mother of triplets. Dorothy Bragg has quite a job running her business and home, but she says she likes to work. She has her establishment in Mt. Blanchard and has ten to twenty customers a day since the town is rapidly growing as they have struck oil there. Louise and I realized we had one more day to spend, and we finally found Dean Schaller when we reached Paris again. He is singing his way round the world. He had reached Paris the day after we had gone on our trip. Of course, Dean was always a good singem but he is even better new since hem been singing lullabies for ten years. Well, Mrs. Curtis, we have finished what we started tockaand we have enjoyed our adventure. We wish you and anyone else who has wished to know what has happened to the senior class of 1953 much enjoyment in reading this account. wwmflia, 'EDO-w'Yv10f'N Q-5 Q' fi.-QQ YS i4Q5 CLASS WML We, the Senior Class of Mt.

We were sorry to find that Gary Hickle, Joe Gorsuch, and Paul Wells had left us to go to other schools, but we were glad to have Shirley Gibson as a new classmate. Later we welcomed Vernon Clark to our class. This gave us a total of thirty-two members--eighteen girls and fourteen boys.

Late in the term David Clark and Beverly Fields, from Forest, and John England, from the Dola School, came to join our class. There are now twenty-two girls and twenty-two boys. A bit unusual we think. Two elections were held in the sixth grade--one at the bee ginning of the year and one after the Christmas vacation. The following officers were elected: presidents, John Rothlisberger and Connie Smithg secretaries, Barbara Lafferty and Brenda Bishqx and reporters, Connie Smith, Linda Price, Walter George and Gene Stuckey. Both the boys and the girls are taking an active part in the baseball games during the fine spring weather. ' FIFTH GRADE When we entered school last September, our enrollment was forty-three boys and girls. Later we lost Delia Espinoza, Jane and Jean Beckman. During the year,we welcomed three new members, Henry and Janet Hanner, and Ronald Gratz. We enjoyed a Christmas party given by the girls and a valen- tine party given by the boys. We had a part in three assembly programs. Ten members are taking instrumental lessons from Mrs. Payne, and six are studying piano. We made wall plaques, sewing boxes, and letter boxes for our mothers. We did many interesting science experiments, also we made several maps of regions and countries studied in geography and history. Next September,l9E3, we will be sixth graders--with just one more year downstairs. FOURTH GRADE In September of 1952 thirty-four boys and girls entered the fourth grade, In November Jon Teats joined our group,and December found Max Howard returning to our class again from Findlay. February brought Helen Hanner from Michigan to make us a total of twenty girls and seventeen boys. Two new subjects,history and geography were introduced to us. Pen and ink were also added as new things for us to use this year. In November our class helped present a Thanksgiving program for our parents and friends. December found many of us taking part in our grade operetta, nChristmas in Mexico.n In April we presented another program with the second and sixth grades. During the year we had several parties, which everyone enjoyed. We are looking forward to climbing another stepin our ladder of learning by becoming fifth graders next year.

We ended the year with twenty-nine, nineteen boys and only ten girls. The second grade has led us to many new experiences, among these have been English, spelling, and cursive writing. Some of our most interesting projects were nFriendly Villa3e,n HThe Eskimo Village,n nAn Indian Village,n and our nValentine Post Office,n which we constructed in our room. We have all worked hard and are looking forward now toa happy and restful vacation. HRST GRADE The first day of school, September lO, 1952, was an eventful day in the lives of fifty first grade pupils. Dy the following day one had already decided that he would postpone his start on Learning's Way for a year and dropped out. We had forty-nine pupils until Marjorie and Gerald Holmes left us to return to their former home in the Soudr During the year,Charles Fleming, Russell Betts, and Tommy Beckman moved away. Jim Teats and Mike Howard came to us from Findlay, and Kathy Setser came from Detroitg then we had an enrollment of forty-six.

Mr. Thorpe was assisted part time by Adam Muzy of Findlay College. We began with thirty-two at our first practice. We received new equip- ment, which, in s e cases, was badly needed. In the first game, which was a return game with Waynesfield of Auglaize county, we were to see how our team shaped up. Our team had many followers, who were in high hopes of our winning. It started out to be a rough game with Blanchard leading, 7-Q,at the half. In the last half our team began to click, and the game ended, 32-12. The scoring was done by Franklin Koehler 120, Don Elsea 127, and Jim Bowman 111. Daryl Bushong, a freshman, did a very fine job contributing two extra points. Our second game was mostly a defensive game with Arcadia. Neither team got many scoring opportunities. When we finally got into the scoring column we managed to hold the lead and come out on top, 15-7. Koehler and McDaniel each scored once, and Daryl Bushong kicked an extra point and tackled an Arcadia man in the end zone for the other three points. Van Buren was our next test on their own field. At the end of the first half the score was 19-O in our favor. The second team played part of the remaining half and played a good game. The final score was A6-6. The scoring was shared by Koehler 121, Jim Bowman 123, Don Elsea 111, Clyde Semler 111, and Bill Dodds 115. Daryl Bushong did another good job by kicking four extra points. We had high hopes of making it four victories in a row as we went to Cory-Rawson. At the end of the first quarter C.-R. led, 7-O. The Hornets couldn't be stopped, and they won,3h-O. Blan- chard played a good game but couldnft score. Cory-Rawson went on to finish the season unscored on. The next game we played against McComb at home. McComb scored first on a fumble by Blanchard, but a little later Bill Dodds scored on an itercepted pass. Then McComb scored two points on a safety. Franklin Koehler scored again before the half to make it 12-9. Joe Collingwood sparked their 'team. Blanchard won in the gaining of yards and the making of first downs, but couldn't in scoring. We next traveled to Vanlue for their Homecoming game. We were anxious to get on the winning trail again. In the first half Don Elsea scored on a shovel pass, but at the end of the first half Vanlue had scored twice. In the second half Vanlue again scored two touchdownsg and Franklin Koehler scored two, to make it an exciting game, and Daryl Bushong kicked both extra points but we went down to defeat, 26-20. On the Zhth of October we had arranged to have the game filmed. We were eager to win since it was our Homecoming game, and we had lost three straight. In the second quarter Franklin Koehler raced 60 yards and again 15 yards for two touchdowns with Daryl Bushong getting two extra points to make it, lk-O, at the half. Koehler again scored in the second half, Jim Bowman scored on a triple reverse, and Don Elsea ran a kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown with Clyde Hendricks and Rolland Rodabaugh throwing key blocks. The second team played most of the last half, doing a good job as we ended up on top, 32-25. On November 1, Jim Bowman, Don Elsea, DeWayne Fields, Clyde Hendricks, Franklin Koehler, Rolland Rodabaugh, Dale Snook, and the injuried Jim McDaniel finished their high school football. Everyone of the team was up for the game. Arlington took the lead first quarter but Jim Bowman scored on a triple reverse to tie the score at 6-6. There was no more scoring the first half, but Arlington again took the lead on a third quarter touchdown and also made the extra point to make it 13-6. In the final quarter, Bill Dodds threw a 20-yard pass to Dale Snook, and Daryl Bushong made the extra point to tie the score at 13-13. Franklin Koehler scored also, but the score was nullified by a clipping penalty, so the game ended, 13-13. This made a very happy ending to a satisfactory 1952 football season.
