First as - - FRESHMEN Here we see dimly a crowd of awkward, bashful freshmen entering the doors of Smith- ville High on the first day of school, 1951. Upon closer inspection, we recognize several faces and our .memories of our Freshman year come sharply into focus. The first several weeks were spent in getting acquainted with our new classmates, most of which came from Madisonburg. We also learned to know our new advisor, Mrs. Murray, better. Our first item of business was to elect our officers which would lead us through the coming year. These competent leaders were chosen: President ------ Roger Ramseyer Vice-President Maxine Sheets Secretary - - Marion Falb Treasurer - - Jim Musser Student Council Bonnie Wagers Gene Kauffman With these leaders behind us We set out to make our mark in history. But not before the Sophomores made their mark on us by initiating us thoroughly in November. We soon recovered from these horrors and settled down to business vowing that next year we would .more than get even for what was done to us. In December we enjoyed ourselves at a skating party held at Madisonburg. We did indeed make an excellent start on our mark in history, Six of our boys participated both in basketball and baseball. The reserve cheerleaders were chosen from our class. In ad- dition many class members were active in music and speech activities, making our first year in high school a very enjoyable and profitable one. Next as - - - SOPHOMORES As we set our clock of time ahead one year and adjust our memories to the Sophomore year We see many new faces. Ah yes, they are our new classmates from Marshallville, whom we soon learned to know quite well. Because of our increased size, two home rooms and two advisors were needed to keep us under control. In addition to Mrs. Murray, we had a new advisor, Mr. Amstutz. Again we elected competent leaders: President ---- Roger Ramseyer Vice-President - Jack Snoddy Secretary - Rowena Garman Treasurer - Bonnie Wagers Student Council Marilyn Shaffer V Gene Kauffman Sergeant at Arms Richard Snyder 19 After much discussion blue and gray were chosen as our class colors, and after what seemed an eternity these colors could be seen throughout the school in the form of our sweat- ers, each displaying to good advantage our emblem, a four-leaf clover. Looking ahead to the future, we began raising money for our Senior trip by sponsoring candy and bake sales. To satisfy our social craving two parties were held, one at the school and one a skating party. Again our class was well represented in all activities and phases of school life, Thus our days as underclassmen came to a close and we eagerly awaited our Junior year when we would return as upperclassmen. Then as ---- J UNIORS Turning our clocks ahead once more, we see most of the same familiar faces, but this time with the dignity of upperclassmen. Under the guidance of our advisors, Mrs. Murray and Mr. Amstutz, the following officers were elected: President - Roger Ramseyer Vice-President Gene Kaufman Secretary - - Maxine Sheets Treasurer - - Bonnie Wagers Student Council Phyllis Hochstetler Jack Snoddy Social Chairmen - Rowena Garman Ronny Singer Sergeant at Arms ------- John Schrock With painstaking care we selected our class rings and after much waiting the rings ar- rived. Now the flash of gold could be seen on nearly every J unior's finger. Even as Juniors a good number of our boys proved valuable on the varsity basketball team and on the baseball team. From our class also came the varsity cheerleaders to spur them on to victory. After much hard work by the directer, Mrs. Ramseyer, and the cast the class play, Home Sweet Homiciden was given on April 2. Here we proved that we could be actors in addition to our other accomplishments. Our Junior year was climaxed by the Junior-Senior banquet which was simply Out of this World. Even though our treasury was sadly depleted after this venture, it was greatly enjoyed by all, As this year drew to a close we realized that we had but one more year in dear old Smith- ville High and we resolved to make the most of it when we returned as Seniors the next fall. And finally as - - SENIORS As we turn our clocks ahead for the last time we see the same familiar faces, but some- thing new has been added-the pride and respect that goes along with being a Senior. With the help and guidance of our advisors, Mrs. Murray and Mr. Clark, we set out to make this, our last year, an outstanding one. 20 From the 58 members of our class these capable officers were chosen: President - Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer - Student Council Social Chairmen Sergeant at Arms Roger Ramseyer Richard Snyder Maxine Sheets Betty McCay Martha Hutchison Ronnie Singer Bonnie Wagers Gene Kauffman - Nathan Yoho In the early months of school the election for student council president was held. After a spirited campaign, the Senior candidate, Jack Snoddy, was elected. Again we used our acting talent when we presented our Senior class play, Meet Me in St. Louis on December 2. With Mrs. Murray directing, it was a success in spite of disagreeable weather on the night of the performance. In addition to selling concessions at the basketball games we had two big money-making projects which fattened up our treasury considerably. The class co-operated splendidly when we fed the Akron Milk Producers Association on January 22 and the NEOSBA on March 21. We had a very unusual class for over one half of the boys took part in some sport. We know they enjoyed this very much and would give anything to be back with that fighting spirit next year. The highlight of our high school career was realized on April 27 when we left for Wash- ington. We were thrilled indeed to be the first class in Smithville's history to be given time off from school for the class trip. 49 Seniors along with Mrs. Murray and Mr. Kasapis arrived in Washington, D. C., where We enjoyed the time of our lives and one that we shall never for- get. It was then that we realized that all our working, scrimping, and saving had not been in vain. Our trip completed we arrived back in Smithville on May 2 much wiser and sleepier. On May 7 the Junior class invited us to a very enjoyable banquet at Smithville Inn, after which we resorted to our own devices to provide entertainment for the rest of the night and probably longer. On May 13 we had our last class party in the form of a chicken roast at the Smithville Community Park, Our Baccalaureate service was held on May 22 and on May 26 Commencement exercises ended our school life in Smithville High. We tried our best to accomplish our aims While in high school but whether we did or not will be decided by those we leave behind. With our motto, Aim high, and hold your aim to guide us, we know that members of the class of '55 will go far in Whatever they choose to do.

They are all meeting at the Jim Hohenshil ranch for a class reunion after being out of school for 15 years. Mrs. Hohen- shil CRuth Drakej has worked hard for the last week preparing for the big reunion. Margaret Hostetler, the Home Ec. teacher at Smithville, is helping to prepare the meal for the occa- sion. Ed Graber, the multimillionaire who owns 3000 acres of farm land N.E. of Marshallville, has just arrived in his Cadillac. With him is his housekeeper, Barbara Dickason. Martha Hutchison, interior decorator and Ernie George, a noted artist have decorated the front lawn for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Snoddy fBonnie Wagersl and family, who own Smithville Inn, are furnishing the chicken for the dinner. Mary Ann Hahn, head cook at the Inn is going to help serve the dinner. Betty Bogner, nurse at the Akron City Hospital, and Barbara Butzer, a telephone opera- tor in Wooster are out watching the children who are playing ball in the meadow. Dr. and Mrs. Carroll Eggeman are just arriving. Carroll is now a prosperous veterinarian. Following them up the lane are Ronnie Singer, a geologist, who has just returned from a fishing trip in Canada, and Dick Snyder, an ambassador to Pakistan. Nate Yoho, head coach at Bowling Green and Al Wainio, Postmaster in Wooster, are dis- cussing current matters with Paul Steiner, Vocational Ag. teacher, Richard Ratzel, Sec. of Agriculture, and John Jolliff, Wayne County Soil Conservationist. Listening to the conversation are Paul Wertz, a wrestler, commonly known as Powerful Paul the Whiskered Marvel, and also Bill Stetler, his manager. Lying on the glider on the porch, we find Roland Groves, a mattress tester, at his usual occupation, that of sleeping. Under a shade tree, we find Janet Mumaw and Rebecca Hartzler who have just returned from a missionary trip in Africa. They are talking to the Rev. Ralph Smucker, who has a new church located on the edge of Carl Byler's large dairy farm. Carlis farm, along with Mr. and Mrs. John Schrock's CRowena Garmanj dairy farm furnishes the milk for Sunset Dairies in Smithville. Sunset Dairy is co-owned by Roger Ramseyer and Don Zimmerly. Suddenly we hear a blood-curdling scream from the barn. Upon investigation we find that one of Marvin Krabil's sons has fallen through the hay hole. Marvin is the owner of the Pure-Oil Station in Smithville. Close behind him are Maxine Sheets and Carmen Estes, both registered nurses at Cleve- land City Hospital, Also Doctor Don Stuckey comes to see if he could be of any help. 24 Gene Kauffman, president of Kauffman Rubber Company, which specializes in mudflaps, and his wife Jo Etta Haley are just arriving with their carload of kids. With them is Grace Rehm, stenographer for the company. Now arriving are Verna Lower, housewife, and Marilyn Shaffer, co-owners of Clinton I.G.A. Store, and Shirley Swisher a model. With them are Clarence Weygandt, who owns an elevator in Marshallville and his private secretary, Florence Hartzler. Marion Falb, editor of the Smithville Sun Tely, is interviewing Jim Musser on the new type of potato he developed with the help of Earnest Rehm, a scientist at the Experi- ment Station. Also being interviewed is Anita Buchwalter, the technical assistant. Shirley Gordon, a professional photographer is taking pictures. Janice Sargeant, horse-trainer for the Ringling Bros. Circus, has arrived with her Ten- nessee Walkers for the children to ride, With her are Dennis the Menace fBrillhartJ a clown, and Steady Eddie, QManiJ the lion tamer who are going to entertain us this afternoon. Betty McCay and Phyllis Hochstetler .must leave early to catch their boat for Africa where they will join a safari to hunt wild game and take pictures for Walt Disney. As we look around we can see Gloria Perret, soloist, and Pearl Ault, organist for the Billy Graham Organization. Janice Olson, chief buyer for Woolworths is placing the decora- tions on the table. As she finishes, Mrs. Hohenshil calls us all to dinner. After we have eaten, we enjoy an afternoon of entertainment and discussion of old times.

After much argument and discussion we decided to buy our rings, which are simply designed in comparison with others, from the Balfour Company. The committee selected t'Those Websters as our play. Ably directed by Mrs. Ramseyer and after rnuch hard Work, we succeeded in producing a very successful play even though March 25, the day it was given, turned out to be very snowy, Soon after this We began preparing for Myrus, which came out very successfully. The Junior- Senior Banquet was given May 7 and was greatly enjoyed by all. After some hard work, a few flag-fights, and lots of fun the year ended happily for all. 26 More About The Juniors My Wilclest Desire Connie Arnes Hazel Ault - Sara Baab - Esther Batdorf Colleen Beery Ronnie Besancon Lee Blosser - Wanda Boreman Carl Butzer - Janice Calderhead Nancy Chapman Harold Cooper Phyllis Dilyard Ruth Eberly - Beverly Edwards John Eikleberry Charles Fetter Mike Field - Tom Gerig - Alverda Goodman Jackie Graber Shirley Gwin Ellen Hartsough Helen Hartsough Leora Hostetler Richard King Martha Lower Janet Lytle - Carmen Miller Clarence Miller Gary Miller - Vera Morrison Jackie Mosier - To be a second Esther Williams - - To get rid of Pearl - - - To have a '55 Plymouth - - - - - To be a cook To be a secretary to the President of the U.S. - - - - - To be tall To tell jokes as well as George Gobel - - - To be a Hula Dancer - - To have a red convertible To own a yellow Cadillac convertible - - - - To not go steady - - To own a ranch in Texas - To under study Norman Rockwe l To be a violinist in Liberace's orchestra - - To go to modeling school - To be Skate King of the Nation - To drive my Dad's Imperial - - - To be short - To be a football coach - To be a lady wrestler - - To borrow Eddie's car - To have a date with Johnny To go to Africa and study cannibals - - To skip school like Lina To get married and have quintuplets To be shipwrecked on an island with a beautiful girl - - - - To be a Girl Scout - - To be a Burlesque Queen To have my non-molecular theory accepted by the world of science - - - To have an I.Q. of 160 - To be a tough guy in the movies - - To be Alverda's sister-in-law - - To be the fat lady in a circuis Mary Jane Mumaw - To be a Bookkeeping teacher and have Mrs, Walter as my student Ward Mumaw Ray Nickle - Fonda Pfouts Julia Rohrer - Janet Schrock Janice Shisler David Smucker Geneva Smucker Shirley Speelman Lulu Stutzman Ellen Swier - Phyllis Swisher Gwendolyn Thut Charles Troyer Larry Troyer Evelyn Wertz Dale Weinman Ellen Weygandt Bob Wirth - Elaine Wirth Dexter Woods Joyce Zeigler Eileen Zimmerly Doris Zook - To rule off the roa To be a secretary for Mr Burkholder To invent a ventilator for chlorine gas - - - - To have black hair - - To move to Columbiana County To be the manager of the Smucker Dairy d all pink and white, Victoria, 1954 Fords - To be a Chevrolet car salesman To walk a tight rope across Niagara Falls To will my cow to Miss Shera and hope she gets a kick out of it To To To take home for a souvenir - - To have blonde curly hair - - - To get into mischief go with Ronnie Singer on a fishing trip be the U.S. Women's Tennis Champion - To be Principal of the High School - - - To be a mathematician , the stop light in Barberton, which shone down on the most wonderful moment of my life - To not get paddled on senior day - - - - To be a soloist To get a girl without my convertible - - - - - To go steady - To get along with my barber - - To be a yodler - - To be able to drive To be an old grouch 27 Sophomores FIRST ROW: K.

This has been a grand year for the spirited sophomores of '57, We started with a membership of sixty-eight pupils, Following the traditional, our first big event was electing the following officers: President -------- Richard Carmony Vice President - Jim Lonier Secretary - - Nancy Gresser Treasurer - Marjorie Moomaw Sgt. at Arms - - Pat Mosier Student Council Lois Singer Rex Wagers Social Chairmen Louise Singer Ted Berkey One of our big events was receiving our class sweaters which are beige with brown emblems. Our social year started with a Halloween party given by Marjorie Moomaw. Then the first big snow provided us with a sledding party at the Wooster Country Club. When it comes to sports, the sophomore boys spelled trouble .many times to other teams. We also had a good representation in the field of baseball and track. Music can't stop us either as four of our Sophomores won the highest ratings at Kent. As the end of the year arrives, we look back with glowing satisfaction at our senior trip L'kitty and how it has grown this year, First we had a fish fry. Then we sold basketball sched- ule pencils and candy. Next we sponsored the F.F.A. advisors banquet, and sold baked goods after the tournament game. The big event of the yea r was our style show with members of the class modeling fashions and providing entertainment. Thus we end a very happy year with two m ore years to look forward to. 28 There were 80 some students that came ffrom Madisonburg, Marshallville and Smithville to make up the Freshman class. We entered the halls of Smithville High for the first time with a certain amount of dignity and pride even though we were a bit scared. For the first few weeks we had trouble finding the right classes at the right time. As we progressed and learned to know each other better we decided to elect our officers for the year. With the help of our advisor, Mr. Taylor, we elected the following officers: President --------- Gordon Zook Vice President - - - Jim Bupp Secretary - Elaine Ramseyer Treasurer - Karen Steuart Student Council ------- Janet Dilyard Mike Gerig In class activities, we had a treasure hunt for our class party in December. In March wwe sponsored the Wooster Scot Band and a hobo day was held in April. Our class also took part in many school activities throughout the year. FIRST ROW: M. Gerig, E. Ramseyer, J. Bupp, G.

OFFICERS President - Jack Snoddy Vice-President - Ward Mumaw Secretary - - Martha Hutchison The student council is made up of a president elected by the student body, and a boy and girl elected from each class, and a faculty advisor. Mr. McCay serves faithfully as faculty ad- visor. The student council served as the voice of students in school government. The council also deals with problems of student administration relation. It is also the duty of the council to select the Junior and Senior ushers, the editor of the annual, Mosaic editor, and stage and sound crews. The meetings of the council were informal discussions and were scheduled every two weeks. One of the activities sponsored by the student council this year was a ping-pong tournament with a trophy given to the Winner. 32 National Honor Society The National Honor Society is an organization that is found in many schools throughout the nation. Unlike some other organizations, the National Honor Society has established cer- tain qualifications Which .must be met in order to obtain membership. The members must be selected from the Junior or Senior class, and each member must individually be selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. An average grade of B should be maintained by the member. The officers who served this year Were: President ---- Ralph Smucker Vice-President - Martha Hutchison Secretary-Treasurer Mrs Ramseyer The Society took charge of cleaning the trophy cases in the downstairs corridor. A picnic was held at Mohican Park for the members and their guests. FIRST ROW: Mrs. Ramseyer, M. Hutchison, R. Drake, R. Smucker. SECOND ROW: M. Hostetler, A. Buchwalter, M. Stauffer, S.

We also want to thank the rest of the staff for their fine job. With their new ideas and fine co-operation, we tried to put out a better Mosaic, We know that the Mosaic can be only as good as the content. With this in mind, we tried to have different articles in it, besides the regular issue reports. Thus striving always to make the Mosaic more interesting to the reader. We had a wonderful and busy year and en ded it with a banquet to which we also invited the faculty. 35 Speech Club President - - - Ward Mumaw Vice-President Phyllis Hochstetler Secretary - Beverly Edwards Treasurer - Janet Schrock Reporter Martha Hutchison Advisors - Mrs. Murray Mrs. Ramseyer FIRST ROW: M.

The Speech Club put on the one-act play called Antic Spring. The play received an excellent rating in county competition. One of the activities of the Speech Club was a trip to Kent State University to the drama clinic. There we heard outstanding speakers in the field of dramatics and were guests of the speech department at the play The Crucible. The Speech Club took part in the following activities: Prince of Peace, poetry reading dramatic, humorous, and oratorical declamations, original oratory, extemporaneous speaking and debate. The debate team consisting of Carmen Miller, Martha Hutchison, Larry Rickett, and Mary Lynn Hostetler received a second in county competition, In the spring the club took its annual trip to Cleveland to see the play, Julius Caesar. 36 F.

Club had the largest membership ever with nearly every girl in school a member of the club. During the year we worked hard at our Home Ec. work in class and also to serve the parent-son banquet for the F.F.A. But We also had lots of fun. We gave a square-dancing party in the gym for the F.F.A. boys and they return ed the favor by inviting us to a roller skating party. Our very enjoyable year was climaxed by the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet, which We served ourselves, and a trip to Clay's Park shortly after school was out. The following officers served for the past year: President ------ Jo Etta Haley Vice-President - Betty Bogner Secretary - Wanda Boreman Treasurer - Bonnie Wagers Social Chairman Mary Ann Hahn F. F. A. Continued This We Believe We in the F.F.A. believe that to be good citizens, we must be both good leaders and good followers as well. That we must be successful as farmers if we are to lead a happy rural life. We believe that success in modern agriculture means hard work as it always has, but to- day it means more. We must apply considerable technical know-how if we are to be efficient. Efficiency is of primary importance today when farmers are involved in a period of readjust- ment from a wartime to a peacetime economy. L, We believe that success as a farmer is the basis for successful leadership, citizenship, and co-operation with one another. 39 Junior-Senior Chorus FIRST ROW: Mr. Spencer, M. Hahn, B. Wagers, J.

It also took part in two of the monthly chapel programs and the All-County Festival held in the spring of the year. Through Mr. Spencer's efforts plus the efforts of the students, the chorus has enjoyed working together and giving the best of their talent of singing. 40 Freshman-Sophomore Chorus FIRST ROW: J.

The Freshmen-Sophomore chorus serves as the auxiliary choral group to the J unior-Senior chorus and has sung with them in several concerts. It also prepares the students for the time when they will enter the J unior-Senior Chorus. We started out the year with a new teacher, Mr. Spencer. After we got our singing voices back from last year, we sang in the Christmas program. We also sang for an assembly and sang in the Easter Cantata, We've enjoyed Working with Mr. Spencer and hope that he enjoyed working with us also. 41 Band Trumpet Clarinet Marion Falb Janice Shisler Phyllis Dilyard Carmen Estes Kathleen Strickler Karen Steuart Pat Parker Dianne Hilligas Ronnie Dilyard Janet Sinclair Phyllis Hochstetler Dale Weinman Jim Bupp Elaine Ramseyer Ronny Hartzler Ellen Hostetler Nancy Gresser Trombone Kenneth Burington Bob Miller Kenneth Hochstetler Flute Ruth Drake Barbara Miller Saxaphone Maxine Sheets Anita Buchwalter Janet Kilyard Richard Dilyard Bass David Smucker Larry Falb Baritone Tom Gerig Percussion Leora Hostetler Martha Burkholder Jim Hutchison Larry Schrock Julia Rohrer Maj orettes Lenora Hilligas Gloria Perret The band rehearsed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, eighth period.

We believe that Driver Training is one of the most important subjects taught in the school today. We not only learn how to drive by how the car operates, and by using a text book and taking written exams, we learn the proper eti- quette on the road as well. Probably the most difficult .maneuver that we mastered was parallel parking. Mr. Rowe's commands of, t'Turn that steering wheel still ring in our ears. It was indeed a thrill when we finally pass ed our driving test and received our licenses. Now we were on our own to prove that we could be the best drivers on the road. 46 Debate FIRST ROW: Mrs. Rarnseyer, C. Miller, M. Hostetler, M. Hutchison, L. Rickett SECOND ROW: S. Bogner, C.

They did most of the playing the past year and deserve their letters for their fine sportsmanship and ability. Roger Ramseyer, our 6'1 center, was usually high-point man of a game. He had the honor of being selected as a co-center of the first All County team and was a three-year letterman. John Schrock was our first-string guard, and was an excellent dribbler and defense man. John was a two-year letterman. Jack Snoddy, another two-year letterman, was a good ball handler and also made his share of the points, Ronnie Singer was a hard working forward who helped tremendously in many games. He was also a two-year letterman. Nate Yoho, our scrappy guard, was always in there fighting, and helped win many games with his fighting spirit. Jim Musser and Bill Stetler, our substitute lettermen, did not see as much action as the other lettermeng but they were always there to give encouragement and could be counted on to play a good game when needed. 54 Varsity Basketball FIRST ROW: J. Musser, N. Yoho, R. Singer, R. Ramseyer, J. Schrock, J. Snoddy. SECOND ROW: Mr. Berkey, C. Hoover-manager, D. Woods, W. Mumaw, B. Stetler, P. Mosier, D. Buchwalter-manager. The varsity team this year was composed of seven Seniors, two Juniors, and one Sopho- more. The fact that none of the lettermen will return next year is a blow, but we are sure that a good team can be built up from the three remaining varsity players plus those from the re- serve team.

The reserve basketball team occupies a very important position in school athletics, even though it has to take a back seat to the varsity team. The boys on the reserve team have an attitude that cannot be equaled, that of willingness to work hard for a position they hope to fill in the future on the varsity squad.

But Whether We Won or lost, their spirit and enthusiasm couldntt be beaten. For two of these girls, this Was their fourth year of high school cheerleading. These girls are Jo Etta Haley and Mary Ann Hahn, This concludes the second year of cheering for Bonnie Wagers and the first for Betty McCay. As these girls are all seniors this is their last year. A lot of time and effort goes into cheering. Working out routines and conducting pep meetings takes a lot of Work. With this in mind We congratulate our varsity cheerleaders for the fine job they did this past year. Reserve Cheerleaders These girls led the cheers behind our Reserve Team. All four girls are Fresh- men, so We Wish them the best of luck for future cheering years. Janet Byler Elaine Ramseyer Karen Steuart Janet Dilyard 57 Baseball FIRST ROW: J. Musser, R. singer, R.

Match the above names to the right boys in the picture below Think you can do it? It should be a snap. l, the following boys came out for Bob Kennedy Jim Lonier Pat Mosier Larry Rickett Larry Schrock Bill Whittier Charles Fetter Tom Gerig Bob Wirth Dexter Woods This is the first year for football at Smithville and we started off the year with a new football coach, Mr. Blais. Of course, no games were played this year, as the time was spent in preparing the boys for actual play in the future. For instance, two weeks were spent in scrim- maging. An interesting note is that the average weight of the boys this past year was 135 pounds. We hope that this figure will be higher by next year. Next season Smithville will play some actual games, but not in league competition. Sched- uled for next fall are six games plus the County Pigskin Preview. A booster club was initiated this past year for the purpose of raising money for new football equipment and for getting the field in shape for play. Right now, we have 40 new sets of gear for the team. W hope they will all be filled sometime in the near future. We are looking forward to the day wlien football will be a major sport at Smithville High School along with basketball and baseball, 59 ' Wm- fp. Freshman Team FIRST ROW: K. Hochstetler, R. Hartzler, B. Gilliland, C. Snoddy, D. Buchwalter, M. Gerig. SECOND ROW: C. Wheeler, J. Bupp, B. Foster, T. Smith, C. Hoover, R. Dilyard. The Freshman basketball team was coached by Mr. Blais and had an excellent season, winning 7 and losing 5. But this does not tell the whole story, these boys scored a total of 457 points while allowing their opponents to score only 346 points. These boys are our future varsity players and the future looks bright. Smithville ....... Dalton ............ Smithville ....... Shreve ............ Smithville ....... Northwestern Smithville ......
