J 1 . - 5 A nl FI I Ndfad i JF, if 4-M Editorial 'l'he 1946-47 school year has come to a close and we, as the graduating class find many problems confronting us. As we join the different fields in our community, the tasks involved in making this a better place in which to live. are ours. Together we must work out these problems. such as the construc- tion ot a new grade school building, a larger cafeteria. a new gym fioor. and many others. The grade school is in a very run down condition. In spite of the numerous repairs and improvements installed in the building, age has finally won out. Improper heating and ventilation are not only hazardous to health but also very uncomfortable to endure, especially while a class tries to study. In- adequate lighting proves to be a stumbling block in the paths of those who try to learn more about being better citizens. A new grade school located nearer the cafeteria, would eventually pay the community tenfold. make a more pleasant place in which to study, and pro- vide the students with warm meals every noon. It would rid the problem of transporting the children to and from the cafeteria each noon and thus pro- vide forthe safety of the children. While speaking about the cafeteria it should be separate from the Home Economics room so as not to interfere with the classes and to make more room for serving the pupils. New and more up-to-date equipment is also needed. A new gym tioor is needed along with many other things. It is up to each of us to do our share in solving these problems. Along with the other members ot' the community we the Senior Class of 1947 can do much to get these things done. 13 Class History Twelve years ago, in 1935, thirty-six excited children started to school. We studied hard those first few years, and our number steadily grew until we reached the sixth grade. There were now fifty-five of us who were transferred to the high school building. We were all excited and happy, for now we were really growing up, we thought. The next two years. however, passed slowly until we were at last freshmen. Now we must choose our own courses and begin earnestly to plan our whole future. Our boys were now beginning to take part in sports. Next came our sophomore year. Many of us have taken interest in sports and musical activities. Our class is well represented in basketball, baseball, band. mixed chorus, and orchestra. We are now juniors with only one more year to go. Our first big event was the Junior Class Play, A Little Honey, which was directed by Mrs. Garwick. Then came the Rabbit Supper and our trip to Canada. As our junior year drew to a close everything was ready for the Junior-Senior Reception, which was a great success under the direction of Mrs. Garwick. Here we are, seniors at last, with eleven years of work and fun behind us. We now numbered forty-seven and were looked up to for leadership throughout the year. Our first event was the Junior-Senior class party: then came the Rabbit Supper. Next was the Cinderella Ball, sponsored by the Commercial Club, with Cinderella and the Prince chosen from the Senior Class. We also enjoyed a class trip to Columbus in the spring. We shall never forget the swell time we had at the Junior-Senior Reception and we wish to thank the Class of '48 for making it possible. At last comes graduation and our high school history has ended. le Dedication The graduating class of 19-17 wishes to dedicate to our classmate, James Jarvis. the Annual of 1947. He has been serious- ly ill for the last year and unable to attend school. 4 4 73+ ' 1 .411-ui. 1 L1 - ' 1 .

Teachers, Parents. and Friends: The end of another year has come to a close. For many of us it will be the end of our school tasks. and for others it will be only the beginning. Many of us have been looking forward to this day, Commencement. for a long time, but now as it approaches we regretfully wish it wasn't so near. As we look over the past twelve years of school work, we think of all the advantages that we have had. and also to the ones that we didn't think were important at the time and left them pass by. Education is one of the most important essentials of life. Education in the modern sense seeks to give a three-fold development which sends forth students upright in character. vigorous and healthy of body, alert and trained in mind, that they may be better citizens of this great country of yours and ours. The young people of today will soon hold in their hands the future of this country. and on their shoulders will rest the happiness and peace of millions of people. The older people look forward to the oncoming generations to make this country a far better nation in which to live. The world of today is a complex world which should be treated in a reasonable way. The past twelve years of high school work has not meant the same to each of us. We each had different interests and it has been possible for us to develop these interests independently of what the others were doing. Too, some of us have taken our work more seriously and have learned to disci- pline ourselves to the demands of our social order. Some have not realized the great task that lies before them, nor have they elected to let others take the responsibility for their welfare. Our high school days have not been without the lighter vein of thought and humor. We need this to help us face the mighty issues that lie before us and many of which were not of our own making. They were handed down to us and we beg that we be allowed some of the frivolities of life in order to give us that quality of mind that will keep us mentally sane. We, however, feel that often we are judged more by these standards than we are by the other accomplish- ments many of us have attained. True. there are some who have neglected to take anything very serious. but we do not want to be judged by these standards because they are not typical of our achievements. 24 VALEDICTORY - Continued Our school gives us every opportunity to grow into men and women of character and ability. Our teachers have set before us examples and opportunities that have enriched our lives as well as prepared Us to take responsible positions in life. Hy this liberal education we are more certain of getting and holding a job in the future. While we have had certain standards to attain. all of us have not been compelled to meet one standard. All of us know that we could have done better-already we regret that we did not do so. Today we can see farther than we could see a few short days ago. and we have only ourselves to criticize for not doing more. Had we been compelled to follow some well- beaten path we may now be bitter toward our school, our homes. and even our country. We need freedom to grow and we have had that freedom. We respect our school. we appreciate our homes. and we love our country. To all of you who have made these schools possible and who have given us these opportunities, we extend our thanks. We ask that you not judge us too critically now, and that you will continue to give your support, your increased support. to the schools that our brothers and our sisters. yes and eventually our children, will have the opportunities they need: also that our schools may be staffed with teachers who are paid what they are worth. and who will fill the many empty classrooms that are not now filled. To the Parents, Board of Education. and Teachers, we give our sincere appreciation for the privileges you have given us through our school years, and for the courtesies extended to our class. We will long remember the things you have given us. We, the Seniors of 1947, wish to make the road clear for the future gradu- ating classes. To the Class of 1948. we wish you and the following classes much success. To all of you we say Farewell. Then here's a smile for the future. And for our parting a sigh! Here's a God speed and bon voyage, And to all a fond goodbye.

I drew it slowly out and read the words The Echoes. 19-17. At first I leafed absently through it. As I gazed at the Senior Pictures, an idea came to me. Why not visit each of these former class- mates to see how they were faring in the world today. As I drove into town, I noticed the modern. well-kept farms along the highway. As I passed, I read the names on the rural mail boxes. Before I had reached town I had visited with Wilbur Little, Lester Seibert. Bob Whitling. Bob Leis. Bob Youngpeter. Jim Eutsler, and Roland Rempfer. I asked one of these farmers what professions the rest of the former F. F. A. boys had taken up. Herbert Boyers is now a successful county agent. Robert Leffel is manager of a large tile manufacturing firm in Toledo. Ohio. Albert Grandstaff is owner of the local fertilizing plant at Delphos and Donald Metzger an advanced agricultural chemist. I noticed the fuel gauge pointed at empty as I entered the corporation limits, so I drove to a filling station with an overhead sign reading Garage and Motor Sales-Hardesty, Ramsey, and McDorman. After the attendant, Carl Haunhorst, had filled the tank I drove downtown and parked in front of the bank just as banker. Whetstone, and Kantner, the cashier. entered. I decided the best place to inquire about the rest of the Class of 19-17 would be the Varsity Bowl, owned and operated by LaRene Baker and Patty McKinley. Patty seemingly knows everything of interest about everyone so we settled in a corner booth while she told me the occupations of the rest of the class. 30 CLASS PROPHECY-Continued Robert Louth. Richard Reynolds, and Thomas McDonald are working in a factory at a near-by city. Stephen Lanning is owner of the local co-oper- ative and Joe Richards is the preacher at a large church in Detroit. Junior Seewer and Virgil Paglow are head coach and assistant coach. respectively, at Ohio State University. Joe Neidhardt is a civil engineer and Harold Place is his construction foreman. While we were talking, in walked Frances Wilges. June Oackes, and Pat Hanley. Theye are all employed as secretaries at a huge factory that had recently been constructed in Lima. Ohio. They told me that Donna Goetz and Peggy Clay are stenographers at business firms in Cleveland and Akron. I left the restaurant and walked a few blocks to the grade school building. There I discovered that Ima Jean Keck and Willene Thornton are two of the elementary teachers. Ima Jean told me that Jo Ann Richards had gone to college two years and then married her science professor. This is not an official report however. I inquired about the other girls and I was told they had all married and were living in various cities. So ended my very happy visit with the Senior Class of 1947. 31 +31 2+ ff ff'f:: if ,, 51 T - 4 5 'U i lf 'J X 'L .v I I V I. j , 4 I -- 1 4.Li.+AfV2', AQ'A 1',lil!.m,'1A'j ' E. , W V 4 w I ff ' '. , I W - F - ,- l ,A I , , , I .

I llll'Vx' 'INT lui' 'i .i Scilutoitory' Parents, Friends. Faculty. and Members of the Board of Education- On behalf of my fellow classmates I want to welcome you to our Fifty- ninth Commencement Exercise of Spencerville High School. It has taken us twelve long years to reach one of our most important aims in our life which is being held tonight, graduation. Tonight I want to talk about the people who have helped us reach this aim. our teachers. Teachers have a large responsibility. Their work isn't done when the bell rings for dismissal as it is in the factory. They have to prepare for the next day's recitation, grade papers. and many other numer- ous things that make up a school day. During the war period and even now the teachers have a larger responsibility. Also I mean the teachers who have come back to teach after a period of absenceg they have their school work to do and to adjust themself to peace time endeavor. Let's stop to consider the teacher situation today. The salary, in com- parison with other types of work. is low. It has been said that a dog- catcher is a higher paid man than a teacher. The housing situation at the present time is also terrible. They are separated from their families because there isn't any place for them to stay. In some cases a teacher drives a great distance to get to school. Often teachers work in other fields during their spare time to earn extra money. You can tell by this that teachers sacrifice a lot to do their job and to do it well. Most of you know that you can't tell whether a teacher is good by looking at his pay check. A teacher will try to do his best to teach his class all that he knows and more too. We have built fine buildings and equipped them with the best facilities. but we have managed to make school teaching one of the most discredited professions in America. You may and are probably asking why our teachers are deserting the schoolhouses for better-paying and more attractive jobs. It is quoted that today the shortage of competent teachers in the United States has risen to more than 125.000 and it is still climbing. One out of every eight teachers today is brand-new on the job and what is worse, one out of every ten holds an emergency certilicate. Last year there were 108.000 emergency certificates issued throughout the country. Ohio has more than 5.000 of these certificates. In Arkansas, a convict was freed from prison in order to teach. His community couldn't find a replacement, so he was released by public request. Last year there were only about one-half as many students enrolled in teachers' colleges as there were in 1920. We. in America, with our enormous wealth. spend less than two per cent of our income on education. We expect teachers to do a lot for our children. but in return we will have to give something back. We will have to act immediately if we are to save our children's future and the future of the United States. Again. I want to welcome you to this joyous occasion for which all of us have worked so hard. and extend you our thanks for making it possible.

The first big event of the year was the class Dlay, Brother Goose. which was enjoyed by a packed house. Then, a few days later. the Junior-Senior Rabbit Supper was attended by a large group of students. In sports such as football, which was new this year, basketball, and base- ball. the juniors were well represented. In music, the Eisteddfod must not be forgotten. This spring we had the privilege of taking our educational class trip which was high-lighted by Detroit and Canada. Ranking iirst in social events of the year and the last big event was the prom.

Operettcr The King's Ears The Grade School presented The King's Ears on April 25. It was based on a Welsh Fairy Tale with music and libretto written by Mr. Riley who dedi- cated it to the children of Spencerville Schools. The production was directed by him. The pianist was Ruth Friedich Riley. All acts took place in the throne room of King March. lord of Castellmarch in Lleyn, Wales. The plot of the story is that the King's ears have turned into horses ear's, with only the.King's Barber knowing all this. The King's love for music soon gets him into trouble through a talking pipe which tells the King's secret to the world. The King decides he doesn't care if everyone knows that he has horses ears. They all live happily ever after. 45 I am your book to keep as long as you want me.

During the year we have enjoyed doing many things which we hope have helped to make a better school, We also believe we have received a great deal of good. Of the many jobs we did the following are typical: sale of refreshments at football and basketball games, supervision of putting on and removing chairs from auditorium floor, installing and dismantling of bleachers for basketball games, promotion, organization, and conducting of intramural athletic games and tournaments throughout the year. 60 I ,I-. .', 'J-'- , l.J. , Il '. lirst lww: Wzinaln llwmlmvn, l'nlin-In Mvlxinlvy, l'mf5'5 Vluy, .lonn Ili-'lizirul-, lmn .I-'nn Ki-il., l':lv ll.inl--5 .lr-:nn Mi-L'1-nilv.

On New Year's Eve we held a Cinderella Ball where we chose the Prince, Cinderella, and her attendants. The Freshman were initiated into the club on February 19. The typing and shorthand classes sponsored a contest. Later in the spring the seniors took a trip which was beneficial to their course. 70 Baccalaureate THE LIFE EXEMI'l,lFlED BY .ll'ISl'S Orchestra Sacred Numbers Serenade - Schubert , to L .... ,.......

We will stand for her united, of her deeds we gladly tell. Her colors streaming. glad faces beamingg So here's a cheer for her that we all love so well. Chorus: Joyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for our new Hi. Let ev'ry hear sing, Let ev'rv voice ring. There's no time to grieve and sigh. It's ever onward. our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er our ardor cool: But united we will boost for her. our new Hi School. Honors she has taken, on the track and with the ball. May she always rank the highest. may her colors never fall. There's no other that can match her, when her team is on Her boys the fieetest, her girls the sweetest. Then here's a cheer for her, for her who ne'er will yield. 3 the field Autographs ,dnlqx 'X 4 14 vhs, 43 11 ,X . . 1 . Q' 4- ix :. 'f L WU- 1 L v:.
