These five people spend many hours in formulating policies and plans for the wel- fare of 2,100 students now enrolled in Sidney schools. Their duties include the employment of all personnel, the awarding of contracts, and maintenance of nine school buildings. The board meets with Mr. Louys every month to transact its business. The members deserve special Commendation for their unselfishness in behalf of the children of the community. 12 These members represent various occupation- al fields thus enabling them to better under- stand different types of problems which may arise. Mr. Arnold Henke, the president, is the owner and operator of the Sidney Dairy Pro- ducts Company. Dr. Clayton Kiracofe is an optometrist. Mrs. jane Schieber, a former teacher, is a housewife. A veteran of World War II, Mr. Huffman Dearth, is now a mortician. Wayne Bertsch is manager of costs and pay- roll at the Sidney Machine Tool Company. Mr. H. G. Lull, principal of Sidney High School, received his B. S. from Denison Uni- versity and his M. A. from Ohio State Univer- sity. He assumed his duties in 1945 when the class of '49 entered junior high. Mr. F. B., Louys, Superintendent of the Schools, received a B. S. and a M. A. in Education from Ohio State University. In addition, he attended Oxford University in England and Duke in North Carolina. COURSES OE STUDENT .ACTIVITIES AND STUDY The offices of both superintendent and prin- cipal are busy places. Here the administration of school matters engrosses the attention of the office forces. Records of all school pupils are kept and countless details must be handled. Miss Mary Line assisted Mr. Louys in these tasks, and Mrs. Marrs was secretary in Mr. Lull's office until February, when Mrs. Call took her place.

AMERICAN CITIZENS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS Compliments of the Gartlaml Harwell Foundry 15 Tllll0UGlI STAGES 0F Gll0WTll AND DEVELOPMENT . . the students of Sidney High, have come since they first entered school, and, though inexperienced, chose their respective courses, the directions of their individual currents. Upon leaving high school, they read- ily see that their experiences and associa- tions have deepened the channels of their spirits and widened the sweep of their abilities. 16 Left to Right: Dick Conrad, Bill Mentges, Jane Robinson, and Roy Bulle. SIZNIORS ARE RIIDINCI THE CREST OF ACI-IIISVISMENT DICK CONRAD Dick, senior class president, was actively interested in athletics. Every senior will long remember his reading the bulletins. ROY BULLE Our congenial vice-president was always willing to take over the meetings. Roy was kept busy with sports and music. BILL MENTGES Guarder of the exchequer, Bill is active in music and science. jAN E ROBINSON At every class meeting jane scribbled furiously to keep up with the motions and seconds. She is interested in sports, music, and writing. Graduates of the class of 1949 will be able to look back with pride on their four high school years. As green frosh' and again as sophomores they held spring class parties. Many of them became interested in extra-curricular activities. In the junior year the class presented their play and feted the seniors at the spring prom. As seniors they were busy not only with the annual but athletics, school organizations, plays, and scholarships. At last on June 9 the seniors received their diplomas and realized their high school career was ended. 18 Compliments of Ulolmanis' Department Store DARRELL E.

They have many athletes, musicians, and scholars among them. A large percentage of the class is active in G. A. A., Y-Teens, and Hi-Y. In the fall they presented their junior play entitled The Fighting Littles. The ticket re- ceipts were used to help finance the Junior- Senior prom, which was held in the spring. Both of these events were red letter occasions on the school calendar of 1949. Their class sponsors for this year were Miss Benjamin, Miss Sargeant, Miss Duncan, and Miss Roberts. CHARLES BROWN As president, Charles Brown led the class through a very successful school term. His interests center around sports .md he was one of the able football man- agers this year. JOHN CONNFR As vice-president of the juniors, John assisted the president whenever needed. He enjoys music and sports. BETTY STEINKEMPER The keeper of the records is active in all high school organizations and scholas- tically inclined. TOM WATKINS Tom, a scientific and sports-minded boy kept track of class finances this year. 30 Best Wishes from Stewarfs, Sidnejfs finest Men's Store X S s ABLE AND PROMISING SENIOR CLASS OF 1950 Reading from top to bottom: Row One: Paul Abbott, Herb Aikin, Teddy Apple- gate, Pauline Aschenbach, Lloyd Baker, Helen Ballou, Alice Baumgardner Row Two: Ruth Anne Belt, James Berger, William Blust, Dawn Bodine, Robert Bricker, Charles Brown, Margie Brown Row Three: Pat J.

This class has finally finished junior high school, and is now ready to begin senior high.

Their objective is to assist in the solution of many problems involving the whole student body. Each of the six members are elected by their re- spective classes. The eleventh and twelfth grades have larger representation because of the in- creased responsibility of the older students. One of the big proiects undertaken this year was the one-way traffic plan for stairways be- tween the second and third floors. Many educa- tional and interesting assembly programs were prezented as projects. Other activities such as courtesy week, monthly locker clean-ups, fire drills, publication of a student handbook, and computing the honor roll were all part of their work. The student council also awarded attendance plaques and gave a banner to the home room having the best attendance each month. Meetings were held once each month and were conducted entirely by the council members. Larry Hawkins was the president, Ann Kerlin secretary and treasurer. Miss Glenna Fogt and Mr. Harold Brown were the faculty advisers. 52 Best wishes from C00k's Spot Restaurant FBLA MEMBERS PREP RE EOR FUTURE the Tomorrow's Business Leaders constitute membership in our chapter of F.

At one meeting, held jointly with the Sen- ior Hi-Y, Mr. Williams, the District Hi-Y Rep- resentative, spoke. The group spent several meetings discussing the necessity and ways of attaining clean speech. They also went swim- ming at the Piqua Y. M. C. A. Their officers last year were president, Eu- gene Fogtg secretary, jerry Blake, treasurer, james Santo, chaplain, jerry Scanlin. Their biggest social event was a Halloween picnic held at Roadside Park. The members had dates for the event. They worked with the Senior Hi-Y to earn money by selling candy, potato chips, and ice cream at the basketball games. During the twenty-third year of the Hi-Y, the boys strove to live up to their motto to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school, high standards of Christian characterf' When the junior Hi-Y boys complete their freshman year, they step up to the Senior Hi-Y, where they continue preparing themselves to be good Christian leaders of our country.

Y-TEEN GIRLS SERVE THE SCHOOL One of the most important and worthwhile organizations for girls in Sidney High is the Y-Teen Club. Senior Y-Teens is a junior branch of Y.W.C.A. comprised of juniors and seniors. The group meets in the dining room every other Thursday after school. Many interesting programs were presented during the meetings. Reverend Swinehart gave a talk as a Thanksgiving program. Miss Claire Gannon presented a dramatic monolgue, and a book review was given by one of the mem- bers. A quiz show, a musical program, a cos- metic demonstration and hints on dating eti- quette were among other programs presented. Some of the most important activities of the past year were selling season football tickets, popcorn and potato chips at the football games, and basketball schedule pencils. The club also presented a religious assembly program at Easter. The annual Y-Teen formal was held in the old gym on February 15. The theme of the dance, Blue Moon Ball, was carried out with balloons, blue crepe paper, and moons. Miss Frances Sargeant and Miss Dorothy Duncan are co-sponsors for the organization. 70 If it cfm be done with flowers, we do it-Ebrloarfs Flower Shop IR. Y-TEENS SUPPORT CIVIC PROIECTS junior Y-Teens, sophomore and freshmen girls, meet after school every other Monday in Room 203. Ever since junior Y-Teens organized-even as far back as Junior Girl Reserves-this group has been recognized for their selling projects. This year has been no exception. These girls volunteered to sell for veterans and different organizations in town. Many Saturdays were spent selling poppies, forget-me-nots, and tuber- culosis bangles. During football season the girls sold pen- nants at the football games to raise money. Row One, left lo right: Marilyn Miller, Althea Foster, Drema Short, Patsy Kendall Some interesting aid varied programs were conducted this past year. For instance, at one meeting Miss jean Flaugher gave a book review, and at another, a quiz program was conducted. A Valentine party was held at one regular ses- sion. They also enjoyed group singing. The main social function of the year was a spring dance on April 22. This year's officers were president, Julia Kiesg vice-president, Shirley Anthony, secretary, Patsy Kendall, and treasurer, Martha Foster.

Many girls participate in sports and some of them exhibit much ability. The Girls, Athletic Association sponsors all the girls' sport activities. Among these are table tennis, walking and bike hikes, basketball, volley- ball. archery, track, and baseball. Varsity squads for several of the competitive sports have been organized. The teams played other schools. The G. A. A. is one of the largest and most active organizations in our high school. Mem- bership is obtained when ten points have been earned by the initiates. There are two initiations for new members. One is formal and the other is full of pranks and ridiculous actions directed by the senior members. The GAA under the able supervision of Miss Claire Gannon, completed many helpful projects. The officiating students were Ruth Ann Earl, president, Pat L. Brown, vice-president, Janice Hamsher, secretaryg Norma Beers, treasurer. There was also a cabinet composed of girls, who officiate in the different activities. All these of- ficials met at regular intervals to plan the pro- gram of the association. This group of athletically inclined young women is doing its part to make the Sidney High girls better citizens, by teaching them good sportsmanship and the value of co-operation and by showing them how to obtain and pre- serve healthy bodies. 72 Best zuixbes from Dezzrtb Fzmeml Home and jerrolds Clothing Store The Future Farmers of America is a national organization whose aim is to give those boys interested in vocational agriculture more oppor- tunities for the development of leadership, citi- zenship, scholarship, thrift, community service, and recreation. The members of the Sidney chapter have real- ly been doing a fine piece of work this year, and have won many awards. For instance, the FFA booth exhibit at the Ohio State Fair was given a Silver Medal rating, and the exhibit at the County jr. Fair was named the championship Farm Bureau Procedure Team for its excellence in demonstrating chapter business procedure. The basketball team was rated tops in the County FFA basketball tournament and carried home that trophy also.

Emily Post is forgotten as they eat with their fingers. They have no fear of sticky hands, however, for there are slaves who, when summoned, come running with finger bowls. Lots of concentration, knowledge, joy, and entertainment are included in Latin III and IV courses. All students of these two subjects are eligible to become Inter Nos members and to participate in the activities of this organization. They annually launch and carry through many campaigns to acquaint themselves, their school, and community with ancient Roman tra- ditions. A few of their undertakings were dough- nut sales, presentation of classical movies, pre- paration of a chapel program, and the directing of Latin Week Activities. The club presented to the Latin department three sets of classical pic- ture slides. To encourage students to continue their study of Latin the club tries to make the advance course more practical and entertaining by comparing the everyday life of the ancient Roman with life today.

LIBRARY ASSISTS SHS STUDENTS On the second floor in the Junior High Build- ing are two rooms visited and used by the stu- dents and the faculty. These two rooms are the stack room and reading room of the school li- brary. Mrs. Mildred Valentine very ably manages the library. Her student assistants for the 1948-49 school year were Janet Thompson, Barbara Gimmeson, Cynthia Morton, Shirley Clinehens, Marian Sharp, Jo Ann Fugate, Susan Leckey, Barbara Hill, Anna Mae Abbott, Doris Gimmeson, Sharon Huffman, Nadine Terry, LaDonna Limbert, Dor- othy DeWeese, Thelma Covert, Beverly Jones, Anne Bell, Ethel Cole, Donna Lusk, Joanne Ger- lach, Vivian Neville, Lillian Locker, Janet Els- ner, Joyce Leach, Mary Jane Osborn, Lois Hague, Althea Foster, Pat J. Brown, Amy Weiler, Mari- lyn Taylor, Jobea Anderson, Patty Billing, Pris- cilla Woodruff, Carolyn Bowden, and Patty Clark. In the library students can obtain material for reports, books for reviews, and references. For short periods of reading such magazines as Life, Seventeen, Popular Mechanics, Saturday Evening Port are available. The assistants and Mrs. Valentine presented a chapel program in February. The program tended to enlighten the student body on cor- rect usage of the library and its equipment. A movie was shown which stressed the use of the card file by the students. The card file in the Sidney High library is small, but Mrs. Valentine believes it will grow very soon and she hopes all the students will use it. On the book lists for reports are found books about dogs, bibliography, sea stories, adventure stories, plays, and many other subjects. Such a variety of books gives the student body a chance to enlarge their reading field. The library is open to the students every day. The library has a wide choice for studying also. The students may use the Encyclopedia Britannica, Webster's Dictionary, the World Book, the Junior Book of Authors, and Harper's Classical Dictionary. As an aid for the future and for career planning, a collection of college bulletins is available to the students. For help in planning programs of any type, booklets and pamphlets may be found. In addition to running the library, Mrs. Valentine handles the distribution and care of all the textbooks used in the city school system. C oinplinients of Main 6 North Service Station O. W.

To study these changes and to promote interest in teaching as a vocation, stu- dents of the senior high formed a local chapter of the national organization, Future Teachers of America, sponsored by the National Education Association. The club also has as its purpose the cultiva- tion of the qualities of character essential for a good teacher and the development of leadership. Materials are placed at the disposal of those students who are interested in some special field of teaching to help them in planning their college training and expenses. Countless colleges have been investigated by members of the F.T.A. as possible college choices. Because the Future Teachers of America is not only a S. H. S. club but a statewide and na- tionwide organization, conferences are planned for students to get together for counseling and guidance. To promote these conferences, one of the state universities offers its facilities for a day while classes are in session so that those who are visiting may see college life in full swing. 76 Best wishes from Iackk Snack Shop and the Dayton Power 6' Light Co. STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN DRAMATICS Sidney High students displayed their talents not only in chapel programs, but also in class plays and operettas. On November 19 and 20 the Junior Class pre- sented The Fighting Littlesf' Hot-tempered Mr. Little, Richard Hodge, realizes that his teen-age daughter, Phyllis Hatcher, and her kid brother, Charles Dunson, aren't such bad children after all. The rest of the cast were Sheila Smith, Betty Steinkemper, Robert Heinfeld, Marilyn Martz, Joann Santo, Barbara Glore, Pat Gerstner, Mar- lene Doll, Pat Jean Brown, Donald Brulport, Joe Emley, and Anita Mann. The more gifted seniors of the glee clubs combined their artistry to present an operetta on April 7 and 8.

Miss Olive Owens is the sponsor of the group. The purpose of the club is to encourage bet- ter speech and participation in fields allied to speech work. Every program is an attempt to put this ideal into actual use. Sophomores may enter Masque and Gavel in the spring and thus be ready for active participa- tion in the fall. There are two installations every year. At the fall installation, parents and teachers were guests of the group. The other installation was held in the spring when the club not only welcomed new members but in- stalled a new corps of officers. During the week of March 7 Masque and Gavel launched and carried out a membership campaign. Membership is open to all juniors and seniors who are interested in speech work and who have the approval of Miss Owens and Mr. Lull. Officers for l948-49 were Louanne Blake, presidentg Polly Aschenbach, vice-president, Mary Ann Billing, secretaryg Don Brulport, treasurerg and Dick Snyder, sergeant-at-arms.

The Yellow Jackets never didg on the contrary the boys carried into every game the kind of spirit that never could be beaten. When the chips were down, the Yellow Jackets fought all the harder. Under the guidance of Coaches Wayne Gib- son and Tom Pierson the boys worked hard in pre-season practice getting ready for their rigid schedule. The '48 Yellow jacket squad was called to- gether on August 20 by head grid mentor Wayne Gibson for physicals and uniforms. The boys practiced twice a day till school started. The practices lasted two hours and sometimes longer. The morning practice began at nine o'clock and ended about eleven o'clock. The night practice was begun at six o'clock and last- ed till eight. The two coaches spent tireless hours and energy preparing the Miami T for the Yellow Jackets. It took time and patience in order to get the plays to a point of perfection that suited the coaches. Plays were registered in notebooks and studies. Sometimes conferences were held during the week at night and Saturday after- noons for work on plays and defenses in com- ing games. Most players were excused eighth period so they could get taped and dressed and be on the field early so valuable time could be saved. For the first time in Sidney's history the squad rode in style to out-of-town games in Grey Hound buses. Spirit was stressed by the coaches all season and so the practice field rang with Beat opponents. The student body joined in and pep meetings were held in order to get everybody in the right frame of mind. The team and coaches were overwhelmed by the spirit the student body showed.

Al Ward was selected for quarter back on the Dayton Journal all-star team. BABY BEES PRGMISE BRIGHT FUTURE The junior high football team had an out- standing season in 1948 losing only one game. The game was lost by a seven to six score. It was decided by an off-set penalty against Sid- ney. This nullified an extra point conversion which had been good, and the penalty kept the game from ending with a tie. By the looks of the Baby jackets this year, Sidney will have good prospects coming up for future varsity competition. The Baby Jackets have ended their third year of a new junior Hi program that started under Mr. Brown before he retired from the coaching staff. No doubt, this was the best season the Baby jackets have hand since their or- ganiztion.

The Baby jackets were eager and willing to prove what they could do. The boys showed they had determination, for when they made a mistake, they would go back and try all the harder to make up for it. This season the Baby Jackets beat Piqua twice by identical scores 14-13. On October 27 the Wee Bees played Urbana and won from them 13-0. They were then beaten 7-6 by Troy. Sidney beat Greenville the first time 21-6 and the second time 20-14. All in all the '48 season was an outstanding one for the Baby jackets.

BASKETBALL TEAM IS SECOND IN MVL Although the Yellow jacket basketball team got off to a poor start this season, dropping the first four games, it ended with a bang, with Sidney placing high in MVL standings for the 1948-49 season. The Yellow jackets had four returning letter- men in 1948. They were seniors Paul Monroe, jack Bales, Al Ward, and Tom Schlagetter. Other seniors on the squad were Larry Haw- kins, Dick Conrad, and jack Kerce, making a total of seven members, who played their last season in 1949. Paul Monroe and jack Bales were high-point men for the Yellow jackets with 206 points for Monroe and 200 points for Bales. Both were elected to forward spots on the all-MVL team for 1949. Al Ward, best defensive man on the squad, and an expert on long shots, was assigned to guard the toughest man on the opposing team each week. Tom Schlagetter, a first-rate rebounder, did a fine job at the other guard position. Tom 90 Best Wishes to Class clinched the Oakwood tilt for Sidney by break- ing a tie in the closing seconds of the game. Larry Hawkins, the club's best rebounder, did a fine job with only one year of experience. Dick Conrad, hardest worker on the team, was always first in replacements at the forward and guard positions. Jack Kerce was slowed up this year by ill- ness, but was considered one of the better shots on the team during the first part of the season. Other regular members of the varsity squad were Jim Getrost, jim Wagner, and Harold Dil- bone. Late in the season jerry Smith and Walter Dickhaut, both sophomores, joined the varsity squad. In the Miami Valley League, often referred to as the toughest little league in Ohio, the Yellow jackets easily captured the second-place spot, wining five MVL games and losing only two. In the 1949 Class A district tourney Sidney was edged by the Oakwood Lumberjacks in a thrilling battle by the score of 45-42. of 49 - English Studios Above are the senior members of the basketball squad Row One: A1 Ward, Paul Monroe, Jack Kerce Center: Larry Hawkins Row Two: Dick Conrad, jack Bales, Tom Schlagetter Best Wishes to Class of 49 - English Studios Y ,I'S TEAM LARCIIE Indianapolis E n gmvin g Company Row One: Bill Mann, Elmer McMaster, Law- rence Freeling, Carl Car- ey, john McKnight, Joe Cathcart, Dick Hatcher, Ralph Baumgardner, Les- lie Vondenheuval Row Two: Mr. Gibson, Bob Henke, Tim Apple- gate, Dick McCoy, Dale Carr, Bob Dye, David johnson, Mr. Angerer Row One: Ronald Fogt, Fritz Knasel, Eugene Fogt, Bruce Brown, Jac- que Neer, Bob Keiser, George Kookootsedes, Eugene Fries.

They are very much mistaken. Many boys go into training for such spring sports as track, tennis, and golf. Under the supervision of Mr. Gibson as- piring track stars practice on the cinders for re- lays, and other sprints. Pole vaulting, broad jumping, discus throwing, shot putting, and high jumping also come in for their share of the boys' time. F. E. Freytag, Architect F. D. Christian, Roofing Er Siding 94 Specialist Anyone interested in tennis was coached into top form by Mr. White. The new tennis courts were a distinct advantage to the team. Interested boys were taught the fine points of golf by Mr. Slager. The boys practiced long and hard on the green at the local country club and participated in several games. Baseball, of course, is a favorite spring sport and while yet in its infant stages in Sidney High it came in for its full share of interest. Mr. Pierson coached eighth, ninth, tenth graders in sandlot tactics.

Even during the Miamisburg game, with hair straight and uniforms splashed, they bolstered the Yellow Jackets in rain and mud. Last year, the girls initiated a cheer campaign from September 15 to 24. This successful drive gave the students a chance to express suggestions and positive criticism of the cheering situation. Under the supervision of the girls' physical education director, Miss Gannon, they created a number of new formations and snappy cheers. Pep sessions were held every Friday after- noon for all home league football and basket- ball games and for the more outstanding of the out-of-town games. An evening rally with a bonfire was held before the Troy game. Last year the cheerleaders were present at every game, at home or away. When tryouts were held in the spring of 1948 for new cheerleaders, two girls were chosen. Each class was represented by at least one yell leader. The girls were eligible for letters at the end of their junior year provided they had served regularly for at least four consecutive athletic seasons. Three cheerleaders earned letters. There was also a junior high cheerleading squad composed of six girls, who cheered for all junior high athletic contests. Junior high cheer- leading gives the girls valuable experience for future yell leading. Senior high cheerleaders included Margar- et Taylor, freshmang Barbara Crim and Connie Bertsch, sophomoresg Janice Hamsher, junior, Janie Houldsworth and Shirley Shaffer, senior co-head cheerleaders. The senior girls had served six consecutive seasons.

The faculty helped in the distribution of the individual student picturesf they allowed the senior salesmen to barge in on the home room period,' many of them checked our pictures for correctness, and we benefited greatly from their hearty encouragement. Mr. Wells very graciously drew the river sign used in the book. English Studio gave splendid service in the taking and printing of the picturesg the Sidney News Engravers furnished the football and ,basketball ac- tion shots,' the Huntzinger Studio took the individual student pictures and al- so arranged them for the engraversg the engravers did a fine job for us,' the print- ing company displayed patience in treating our copy. The aid of the advertisers and patrons helped greatly, the secretaries of the school offices helped with much of the data. Miss Flaugher, our adviser, really deserves orchids for her patience, help, ind corrections of our faults. She endured much during the months of work, but managed to understand our difficulties. Our Senior home room teachers put up with much, but always managed to help us when we needed it, which was almost all the time.
