Homer Grassley The board this year has shown much interest in the school. They have started re-decorating the high school building and have shown a great in- terest in the welfare of the students. Not only are they valuable men in the school but also leaders in the community, where they take an active part in church work. the co-opera- tive elevator. and the locker plant. The board members either hold responsible positions in the business world or are progressive farmers. 8 Transportation The bus drivers and mechanics have done a fine job of keeping our nine buses in safe Working condition. We sincerely appreciate their unselfish de- votion to the gathering of the rural pupils of the Spencerville district. More than half of the students of the school ride these buses.

The plans for this Living Memorial originated in October, 1944. The football field was fenced and seeded. Bleachers and lights were erected for the opening game of this school year which took place on Sep- tember 12. This field, a tribute to those men and women who gave their all in the fight for their country, will be a great factor in molding better citizens from the youth of the community. These men and women fought for this as well as to preserve our rights and to protect our country from the dicta- torial governments seeking its control. By providing a place for healthful participation in sports, the citizens have done a great deal toward making a more enjoyable community life. They, as well as participants, will benefit from it. The Memorial Field was dedicated at an impressive ceremonv during the home-coming football game on November 11, Armistice Day. This was an occasion that will be remembered by all those who attended. To the people who made this project possible. we extend our gratitude. Dorothy Patrick. 14 Seniafzft ,,ng,,' 1 , I f ,.,. . Hr: Q11 . .

'A ' 'Nha '5- ' 'sr Y Y w Class History In September 1936, we started our first year of school. My, how excited we were that first day. We met Inez Wright, our first teacher, and became acquainted with the other kids we didn't know. The days flew and soon it was next year, then the next. Before we real- ized it the end of all our years at grade school had come, but we paused to look back on all the fun we had had. Remember the quarrels we used to have whether the boys or girls should get the basketball and football? Remember the day the movie cam- era broke down when we had our pictures taken? High School at last! Well, anyway, we're in junior high. If anyone sees a poor little lost seventh grader, please direct him to his next class. That first week out here was really hectic. everyone was lost. Next year soon came, we were eighth graders. and the freshmen! That is the year the Jennings kids came in. Betty Core was chosen as our Presi- dent and Bill Strayer, our Vice President. The year passed quickly with our activity nights and the Freshman and Sophomore wiener roast. Sophomore year! We finally got to go on a class trip. The day dawned wet and drippy four usual luckl, but we went anyway. Our trip took in Old Man's Cave. Rock House, Cantwell Cliffs, and of course, Conkles Hollow. Remember too! Poor Buckshot. Paul and Wilbur got their pants torn- good thing Mrs. Sarka had a needle and thread along. Dick Pickering fell down in the mud. Gee! Was he gooey! That year we put on a play night. It was a great success. The money we made set aside for the class memorial. Juniors! Two down-two to go. The year started with preparations for our class play. Jeanie, how's your football practice coming along? Say, Betty, did you get over your poison ivy all right? Ah! Class trip time again. This time we went to Dearborn and Detroit, Michigan, and across the bridge into Windsor, Canada. At Dearborn we went through the Edison Museum. Never did we see so many old fashioned things at one time. Next stop-Windsor. Canada. Wasn't that young cus- toms oflicer cute? Mrs. Sarka must have thought so too. Remember? She chased him around the bus! Mrs. Sarka!! Since we all had honest faces, they let us pass. We had only one hour there, but in that time about every- one had a souvenir to take home. On the road again, this time a short stop at Detroit where we saw a radio broadcast. Then-Home! No, the trip wasn't the end of our fun. We had our Junior and Senior Reception. The poor decoration committee stayed late-'till two o'clock- the night before the prom in order to decorate the gym. The ones on the program committee had it all ready. The whole affair was a real success! SENIORSH This year we chose our Class Memorial, a sound mirror. We gave a third toward it and a sum of money toward the purchase of stage curtains. Some of us participated in the Minstrel Show- Pickles , is you-all fellin' all right? Mose, did grandpa ever get the lawn mowed? Our class trip was to Columbus. There we went on a tour of the State Office Building, the Capitol. the Mental Deficient Home. the State Peniten- tiary, the Lincoln Building, and Lazarus. Weren't those escalators in Laz- arus fun to ride? Say. did anyone just happen to get lost? That is quite a large place, you know. Baccalaureate and Commencement are over and we have graduated! Good Luck to all, and may we meet again in the near future. Mary Mitchell. 16 Dedication The graduating class of 1948, to show its appreciation for the constant guidance and helpful advice, wishes to dedicate this twenty-fourth edition of The Echoes to Mrs. Sarka, who has been with us for the last six years. She was one of the originators of the educational trips in our school. Mrs. Sarka not only teaches school and helps with many of its activities but also she is active in church and community work. Appreciation To our parents, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for their many sacrifices Wh1Ch have helped and provided for our education and pieasures during these school years. They are the founders of our home. Home--the place where we grum- ble the most and are treated the best, where we can eat, rest, and be our- selves. Our parents cheer us when we are blue encourage us when we are in doubt, will do anything for us, and give the love that makes our life com- plete. They teach us respect for the church and give us spiritual guidance. As our last lessons are recited to the Master. may the accomplishments of our lives prove that their sacrifices were not made in vain. 17 REDMOND WOOD Red -A good looking individ- ual with all the personality that goes with it-he could really make the girls swoon if he chose-jhe was our football captain and President of the Senior Class.

Doris King Dick Pickering Carolyn Ramsey Barbara Gossard Dorothy Patrick Betty Core Betty Davidson Bill Britton Mary Mitchell John Buchanan Grace Alspaugh Dick Adams New Horizons When we, as a class, chose this as our motto, I didn't realize just how big a field it covered until I chose it for my topic. These two words are a challenge to all of us and especially to every young person graduating from high school today. Some may be going on for higher education, some will go into business, while others will be making homes of their owng but whatever we do there are always new horizons waiting to be ex- plored and it is our job, as citizens, to accept this challenge. The field of science is one of the biggest horizons that we can enter. New discoveries are constantly being made. Medical science has traveled far, but there is still a great deal to be learned along that line. Today, diseases that were formerly considered incurable, can be cured. But this doesn't mean re- search can be stopped because we still must find a cure for polio, cancer, and other serious diseases. The discovery of the atomic bomb opened up many peacetime possibilities for the scientist. This is a field on which the surface has barely been scratched. We should think of science not as a means of try- ing to kill men through perfected weapons and bombs, but as a means of saving nien's lives through medicine and making life more comfortable through labor-saving devices. The scientific field is always open to any energetic, forward-looking young person. The field of business is open to many. We need honest and efficient business executives to carry for- ward the affairs of the world. The teaching profession offers a number of varied experiences for anyone interested in the youth of our country. There is now an urgent call for more teach- ers so that our schools may remain open and that our children may be educated properly to carry out the affairs of the world when they become adults. There is one more horizon that I would like to mention. This is along the religious line. I'm afraid that the people of America and of the world are sadly lacking in spiritual guidance. I sincerely be- lieve that the problems of the world can only be solved by bringing the people to God for help. Many workers are needed to do this. This is indeed a great challenge to anyone of us. The social order of the world is in a chaotic condi- tion today and it's going to be our job to help to straighten it out. Nations can't agree. Why? Each country is looking out for her own selfish interests rather than for the good of the world as a whole. But how can we expect a nation to have this unselfish at- titude if the people who make up the nation are self- centered ? Here in America we must learn to work harmoni- ously together and to adopt this unselfish attitude which we want other nations to have toward us. One way to establish this feeling of unity in our country is to abolish all race prejudice and hatred for other nationalities. This can be brought about only through educating each individual. I know it seems like an almost impossible task to tackle but I believe that it must be done in order to create national peace. This, in a sense, might be considered one of the horizons that each and everyone of us must enter. I could go on indefinitely naming new horizons that lie challengingly before us. but that is not ne- cessary. You-our parents, teachers, board of edu- cation, and friends-have made it possible for us to meet the challenge of these new horizons by giving us the opportunity for an education. Without an ed- ucation we would fiounder helplessly before them. We are grateful to you for the effort you have made, for the interest you have taken in our welfare and activity, and for the many opportunities, too numer- ous to mention, that we have had to find the new horizons that challenge us as individuals. Yes! We have had our gay as well as serious mo- ments, just as we know we will have in life. We only hope that now we can mold our lives so that you can be justly proud of us. We shall soon accept the re- sponsibility for carrying on the work you have so nobly furthered from where the generation before you left it. Educational opportunities since 1918 have grown by leaps and bounds, and it leaves us some- what aghast at the progress and developments we may find it necessary to make in the next thirty years. Perhaps this is the greatest and most chal- lenging horizon that lies before us. Alreary we have the need for further expansion. Our colleges and public schools are now so over- crowded that each pupil isn't given the proper atten- tion that he should receive. Modern education must develop individually each student's talents 1n order that a young person who graduates from high school is properly equipped to lead a successful life. This cannot be accomplished in an over-crowded school- room. We realize now that this is indeed commencement -a commencement of larger and greater things for each one of us. But. thanks to you, we have had the training to face it. It is our privilege and duty to go out to develop these New Horizons to the utmost of our power so that the world will be a better place in which to live. Our aim in life is expressed in the following quotation: Success It's doing your job the best you can, And being just to your fellow man, It's figuring how, and learning why, And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming little and doing muchg Itfs keeping always in closest touch VVith what is finest in word and deedg It's being clean and playing fair, It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair. It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth, And making better this good old earth, It's serving and striving through strain and stress, It's doing your noblest-that's success. Idora Jones. 'Twill Come To Pass Two small birdies on a limb, One's a her, one's a him. Their sobs are small, their laughter great For they are talking of the fate Of those scattered far and near Of those brave fellows who know no fear Of those girls, beautiful beyond words. Laugh some more you two small birds, For they are, like your laughter, great They are the class of 48 . On Bonnie Ayer's finger are sparkles galore, Her future is taken-need I say more? John Buchanan's heart will sing, For he will become the Popcorn King. Miriam Haller. success Will feel, For she is any photographer's long sought ideal. Duane Carey to Washington will be sent, And he will run for president. But who will win, on that fateful day, The ladies choice, Idora J. Loy Sheets. this prophet doth know well, But what will befall him, I'm afraid to tell. Donna Koenig, from all her fun, Will be public enemy number one. Tom Eutsler will be another farm boy, Whose farm will be Smith's pride and joy. Dorothy Patrick. quite a girl, top her if you can. For she will be married, in later years. to the World's richest man Lady Luck will Earl Gehron forsake, And many a film, in his life. he'll break. Annabelle Boroff's future does not seem black, For Ervin will trade the Chev. in on a new Cadillac. 1980 will find Paul Vulgamott from labor freed, With nothing to do but sit and read. ln years to come, like all the rest, Arline Patterson still will think that Snookums is best. Norman Stout will work with might and main, And someday own the Kroger Store Chain. For the years to come, I'm afraid you'll find, That the prophet, like Betty Davidson, can't make up his mind. Wilbur McDorman will never rest, Until his motorcycle factory is far the best. For Mary Mitchell the prophet foresees, A life of pounding the ivory keys. Into his business, Don Miller will put his heart, And no dissatisfied customers shall depart. For Carolyn Ramsey. 'twill come to pass, That she's the tallest girl, from our Senior Class. Ervin will play pro basketball, But a dark haired lass is the best future of all. Marilyn Hiles will go so far. When she is a Hollywood movie star. 28 Poor Frankie Colgan will spend all his life. Just trying to find the perfect wife. Junior Mulholland is destined by fate, To have the largest dairy farm in the state. Betty Core, a nurse will make, And many a patient's heart she'll break. What will be Junior Bell's end is hard to say, After he's wrestling champ of the U.S.A. Pretty, blond haired, blue eyed Jean, Any later plans must include Dean. Jack Reed will continue his brains to rack, For a way to get the Ford to Monticello and back Gerry Koenig will someday marry. The governor for whom she is secretary. Crooner Jarvis' fame will grow, Bobbysoxer's fainting row on row. Doris King will go to the top. With her famous Beauty Shop. And Dean Brooks will work till when. He's warden of Ohio's pen. Barbara Gossard will settle down. To home life, in the Old Home Town. Contractor Pickering, with ambition nlled. A dam across the canal will build. And Martha Craft will be by far. The world's greatest opera star. Richard Adams. his father's son- Will be the Speedway winner in 61. Mary Strayer a load must bare. For fourteen children she will care. Tom Arthur will travel to other lands. And will leave his mark on foreign sands. Grace Alspaugh will have ten male Stenogs. When she is a raiser of pedigreed dogs. Boley will fame and fortune carry, And one day be known as Rembrandt Harry Joe Sutton will gain renown, As Ringling Brothers' famous clown. Herky Brandyberry will show a knack. For victory on the cinder track. Eugene Shaffer's stock will win. At any state fair that he is in. For Bill Schindel's later life holds its charm. Right at home-down on the farm. You will see Gretta's sparkling face. At any time, but just one Place. Red Wood is a boy with plenty of class. As a football player, none him will surpass. Bill Britton's poor head will bend, For he doth have a very sad end, The doomed fellow is destined to be. The writer of this awful poetry. 29 Clcrss Will We, the departing Seniors of 1948, generally being of sound mind and memory fwith the exception of exam timel, considering the uncertainty of this vale of woe we are about to seek our fortunes in and remembering the past years of carefree school life, do, therefore, make, ordain, publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament. Item 1 To the Juniors we bequeath our most prized possession, the name sen- ior. Along with this name goes the adjective dignified Whether it fits or not, please try to act a least bit that way when in the presence of an under- classman or a teacher. We also leave you our seats in the auditorium and in Miss Deemer's senior homeroom Where you can spend your spare time gaz- ing upon the fair likenesses of past senior classes. Item 2 To the faculty we leave our sincere thanks and gratitude for being so patient and helpful in starting us out right in our future careers. You have taken on the seemingly impossible task of teaching us. We have been molded from noisy, inconsiderate little boys and girls into mature men and women Cwe hopej who are ready to take their places in the World. We leave you the hope for a future group of kids who have nothing on their minds but to study the full 45 minutes and simply shudder to hear the bell ring. Item 3 To all of you we leave everything that meant our high school life. We leave you the building and its classrooms, pencil sharpeners, halls, bells, fountains, gym, study hall with the paper Wads on the ceiling and the big dusty dictionaries in the back. We leave you the pep meetings, the rides to and from out-of-town games, the crowded bleachers, the popcorn, the joy or sorrow of winning or losing a game, the after-game dances at the teen-cen- ter, the broken-down juke box, the laughter, and the fun. We leave you the clatter of typewriters from the typing room, the harmony or sometimes dis- harmony of chorus, the sleeping in study hall, the noon games, the trophy case, the cafeteria line, the cramming for tests. We leave you the office where Mary Moorman reigns and where some of you will spend much time, Without your consent of course. We bequeath you our capacity for having fun, telling corny jokes, cutting up, and getting into impossible scrapes. The familiar faces, the embarrassing incidents, the class plays, the adventure of skipping school, the thrill of the prom-all these will become memories in later years. Our high school years have been ones we will never forget. We hope yours will be as happy and successful as ours have been. Item 4 To the Board of Education we leave all funeral expenses, namely the sad rights of graduation. In the presence of assembled witnesses we do hereby declare this to be our last Will and Testament, signed this first day of May in the year of nine- teen hundred and forty-eight, in the presence of the following witnesses.

Forward March Scrlutcrtory Parents, Board of Education, Teachers, and Friends: It is my pleasure, on behalf of my classmates, to welcome you to this: The Sixtieth Annual Commencement-Graduation! The achievement that prepares us for the years that lie ahead. We wish to extend our appreciation to the Board of Education for its careful planning to better our school, to our teachers for their unfailing pa- tience in teaching us the past twelve years, and to our parents for their pleading with us to get the most out of our school days. Let us not forget the time when dad wanted the car and we came along and thought we needed it too. After a few minutes, dear old dad says, Well, you may have the car. but be careful, As we go out the door, mother calls after us. Have a good time! To our parents, we give our greatest respect and sincerest gratitude! Tonight I want to talk about Appreciating that which we have. In this time of toil and chaos it seems to me that there is a feeling of dissatis- faction and lack of appreciation for the things that we have. It is natural for us to be a bit pessimistic at times. but it need not take the color out of the good things that we have. Here we live in a little town which could be considered The Garden Spot of the World. We have no slums, most every- one has a standard of living above the average. We aren't very far from big industry with its smoke and grime. but we still are not affected by it. We are not interrupted every few minutes by the fire alarm or the shriek of the ambulance. Yet we have fire prevention and the hospital is accessible to us. Neither are we bothered by the terrific noise of the city. We have the peace and quiet of a wonderful little town. Speaking of the United States as a whole, We can assure ourselves that we have the superior government of the world. I am judging by the high standard of living that we have attained. Here we have a democracy which exists for the people. In Russia. as is true in any totalitarian state, the people exist for the government. There you cannot ever excel in anything, so why put forth an effort? Here, also, we have the Four Freedoms en- joyed by everyone. We can say what we please and do as we please as long as we are acting within the law. Also, we can Worship as we please and still hold our social standing. I believe that we have finally become so broad- minded that we accept a man for what he is, instead of what he believes. Education has added much to our understanding and reasoning. We can choose the course we wish to follow and select the subjects that will broaden our knowledge in that field. If we study the subjects that we are interested in. we learn quicker and adapt ourselves to the subjects more readily. With this education we enjoy many social activities. These activi- ties have been an attraction toward education and they take away the monotony and fatigue that comes from studying a book all the time. We have activity nights, class parties, plays, basketball games, football games. and many other special activities that we can enjoy during the year. Pleas- ure comes to each student not only from participation in these events, but also from the part each plays in laying the foundation of our future lives. Let us be thankful that we have the right to choose our own course of endeavor. Some people say that they do not have an ambition in life, but I am inclined to disagree. It is my belief that everyone pictures a golden highlight that he someday hopes to attain. While we are striving to reach this main objective we will reach several smaller ones. Tonight we have come to graduation which I consider one of these smaller achievements. Again I extend my cordial welcome to you to share with us, the achieve- ment of this one goal-GRADUATION!

LaVonne Strayer Seventy-three pupils constitute the Junior Class this year. Our first project was a skating party given with the aid of the Sophomores to aug- ment our memorial fund. Following that came the Junior Class Play. Don't Take My Penny, which was a tremendous success. Shortly before Thanksgiving an Activity Night was enjoyed by the Juniors and Seniors instead of the usual rabbit supper. Dancing and re- freshments followed the short program. The Reception was the highlight of the year and much time was spent in its preparation. Members of the class participated in many other extra-curricular ac- tivities, such as: The Minstrel Show, sports. assemblies, and music groups. Throughout the year there was the utmost of cooperation. Our thanks are extended to Miss Fritz and Mr. Hausser for their valuable guidance as our sponsors. 34 M My 1 A u - ff A , A E x A ,. , 1, X., Y .Z ...Z , 9 9' . fa af Q- Y 4 Q 5 G 'J vs J X J Jw 0 21. 1. .,,, L.-...E A :Q - .,.,,, . r ,Q ,N T' h, . 21: H e ..,, , A g :jf ' .x t . . ,V 'Q A . f If K A -7- .

C orrme Patterson I J On September 2, 1947, sixty-two high spirited sophomores met with their sponsors, Mrs. Sarka and Mr. Shackelford, to receive some helpful ad- vice before beginning the year. Since 1947, Ernestme Evans and Robert Ridenhour have withdrawn but Jeanne Crabtree has entered our ranks. An important event, our class trip, took place on October 25th. The two buses started for Hocking Valley at five a.m. At first we were full of pep but after going over most of the hills in Ohio, visiting the museum in Co- I lumbus, Griggs Dam, and other interesting places, We were quite Weary. The skating party with the juniors was an exciting event. The pro- ceeds of this activity and the sale of magazines helped to finance our school memorial. , May we say thanks to our sponsors for helping make this year a happy and successful one! 35 -li .

At the present time she is sure her career lies in acting, for Harrison Day, the author, is coming to town looking for someone to play the part of Dimity West in his latest book, Stars in Her Hair. She just feels she will be chosen for the part. What Penny doesn't know is that, as a publicity stunt, in her very home has been placed the girl, disguised as a maid, who is to be chosen for the part. It's too bad Kerry, Penny's boy friend, doesn't know who is to be Dimity West. He would be saved so much unhappiness over the thought of losing Penny. It is also too bad that Penny's father and mother are too wrapped up in their own affairs to pay much attention to their family, but then the family is lucky, after all, for it has Gram to straighten things out. 45 The Spencerville High School presents The Twenty-Fourth Edition Of ECI-IOES Published by The Senior Class of 1948 67777-:J'aJf'L 'Ev fu 1 fsx ce Standing: Miss Det-mer, Redmond VVood, Grace Allspangh, Don Miller, Doris King.

Her family has decided she's too young to go steady, and this is to be her last date with the handsome George Allen. When Janey begs them to recon- sider, they just say she's romantic- been seeing too many movies. Janey drags her younger sister Zip away from her swing records. to help her plan a last impression on George that will endure a long time. Meanwhile, Helen tricks George into going to the dance with her, and Janey gets an ex-boy friend of Helen's and in a hilarious scene tries to make George jealous. This backfires with a terrific bang and with everything gone wrong, Janey de- cides to run away from home. When she asks her father if he doesn't want to reason with her, he just says well, good-bye, she's in a worse fix. The final happy twist in the play solves everything. 46 Bcmd President ,....... ...... .... D ick Pickering Secretary .....,.....A .

Many new members joined our ranks and several new instruments were introduced into the band, mak- ing it more balanced and complete. Oh! we admit that some pretty weird sounds came from the music room at times. but after all, we're only ama- teurs. Throughout the year we participated in a variety of activities. Before school opened the marching band assembled and traveled to Leipsic to take part in a parade there. At all the home football games and at several games away the band took an active part, playing and marching both before the game and at the half. Several members of the concert band along with some orchestra play- ers comprised the Show Band which furnished the musical background for The Minstrel of Monterey.

H z 1 rry Boley A group of determined students gathered downstairs in the music room on the fifth of September to meet the new musical instructor, Mr. Sickafus. and to get a glimpse of what was on the program for the school year! We found the music head even shorter than the former Mr. Riley. Here was a person who believes in accomplishing big things with the help of a group. The programs were. as the most of you know, the big minstrel which showed the public home talent, music both in unison and harmony. color galore. elaborate costumes, and strictly blackface: other events were our showing at the Eisteddfod and those suitable programs for our assemblies in our own auditorium. I can say for the most part that the above activities were enjoyed by all that took part in them and that we all wished we could be fortunate enough to participate in another of these activities. 49 77d2'ne Row Une: tiene Yniiiigyu-ter, Laverne Gales, Freul Ball, Cliarlas Sale, Jerry Gussard, Leverle Rockhold.

These games are to promote better sportsmanship and to provide some physical activity for the girls. At the beginning of the year several members of the G.A.A. sold refreshments and programs at the football games. Later. this was taken over by other clubs of the school. There has been some effort for the girls to get letters or pins for their participation in the field of sports. The girls of the G.A.A. have enjoyed a very successful season under the supervision of Mrs. Baranoxvski, and we wish to thank her for her in- terest and guidance. 60 PII 1 fi Iokes Mr. Shackelford: 'Tm going to speak on the subject of 'tLiars today.

I don't think many of us are very hungry after the Mother and Daughter Banquet and the Allen County Pot Luck Supper. Oh, but did we have a bang up time! Some of our homemakers even were fast enough to take in the four Allen County rallies. Coldwater and Celina were the meet- ing spots for these. Some of the girls are even planning to have enough dough tand not the kind you bake, eitherj to go to the State meeting in Columbus. We bought the otlicial F.H.A. banner for our club. Some of us pur- chased the official pin of the State Organization. Miss Edna Palmer has been one wonderful adviser. We have had good times at our meetings and have learned a lot. To sum it all up we have had a fine year. 67 1 l h Row One: Glenn Hamas, Gerald ljmvt-rs. Blaine Place, WVillis Sawniiller, Eugene Shaffer, Bill Schindel. In-ster Kill, Homer Cutfman.

Under the supervision of Miss Fritz, the staff of librarians, consisting of twelve girls, has tried to help all who wish to secure books. Books are checked out during study hall periods by one of the librarians. To get a book one must place his name on the card found in the envelope on the back of the book. Magazines and newspapers, although they are not checked out through the library are considered a part of it. Changes in the library have been made this year and more are in the process of being made. The books are being classified and catalogued in order to make the material more easily found. The library, along with the study hall, has been redecorated. Library Advisor .................. ......
