4 I A n W We, the Freedrnen. f ...? XINIL 'x SPENCERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL present this litile ol' bundle pictures and chit-chat the year. 1950. -1- School Song Faithful and true-hearted, let us cheer for our new Hi. We revere her and defend her, as her colors proudly Hy. 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 heart sing, Let ev'ry voice ring. There's no time to grieve and sigh. It's ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er our ardor coolg But united we will boost for her, our new Hi school. Honors she has takeng 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 the field Her boys the Heetest, her girls the sweetest, Then here's a cheer for her, for her who ne'er will yield. ..2... Mr. E. C. Branstetter B. S. M. A. Ohio Northern University Ohio State University Superintendent .3... Forward The Echoes of 1950 is a symbol of much time, money, and work.

Board of Education The Board of Education of 1950 has two new members, Charles Work- man and Harry Wierwille. The chief accomplishment this year is the passing of a bond issue for a new grade school. The members, prosperous farmers and successful businessmen, are well qualified to guide the affairs of the school. They are also very active in church work and other civic projects.

It is also a responsibility because what is said should reflect the thinking of the majority of the members of the graduating class. I shall try to tell you in the few minutes that have been alloted to me what some of those things are that we appreciate and under- stand. First we wish to express our gratitude to the people of the community who have made our educational program possible. The activities in which we have engaged have been well attended. We appreciate the interest and encouragement that initiated and developed them. Too, the passing of the bond issue for the new elementary school makes possible not only a better educational program for the grade children but also will house a new home economics laboratory and extend our music facilities. The cafeteria will be expanded so that all who use it will have time to enjoy their meals. Even though we will not enjoy these improvements directly, we appreciate the hearty support given this bond issue, which Mr. Branstetter said was passed by an unusually large margin. These improvements will furnish more and better educational opportunities for all the youth of our community. Where else but in our wonderful country of America are students given the care and consideration in obtaining an education that we, today's graduating class, have received? The fact that educational opportunities in our country are universal, places our school system far above that of other countries. The poorest child receives the same attention and consideration in our schools as the wealthiest boy or girl. Too, we are not forced to pursue any particular occupation but are given the opportunity to enter any field in which we are interested. The variety of courses offered in our school is unsurpassed in even the finest European schools. Vocational courses in home economics, commercial subjects, indus- trial arts, and agriculture are offered along with our academic subjects. The student has the freedom to choose those to which he is best suited and in which he is most interested. He may take advantage of these opportunities or let them slip from his grasp. The choice is his own! Our school system is supported by the Democratic philosophy of life. The students are permitted to share not only in the fruits of labor, but also in the planning. Just as our government exists for the individual rather than the individual for the govern- ment, so it is true of our educational system. Students of all races and creeds, from the richest to the poorest and from the most talented to the least talented receive the same consideration and attention. It is his responsibility to make the wisest use of the chances provided. I believe these opportunities are given to us, not by leaders in Washington or Columbus, but by our parents who see that we attend school regularly, our teachers, who have patience with us in our growth and development, and the voters who see to it that our government is not taken over by political dictators. I only hope that we are successful in retaining these opportunities for our children's posterity as you-our parents, teachers, and friends-have been in keeping them for us. Our four freedoms-freedom of speech, of worship, freedom from fear and freedom from want-are unabridged by the officials of our educational institutions. We are not, thank God, forced to speak just as others would have us speak, nor are we compelled to worship by any set pattern but are encouraged to lead Christian lives -lives free from dictatorship and free from fear of punishment for speaking our thoughts. Our minds are not led astray from our studies by the pangs of hunger in our stomachs. We learn through our co-educational system to live with all people in our society. In the schools on the European continent as well as in some in our own country, boys and girls go to separate schoolsg and, although we all admit there are some advantages in this, we must recognize that the co-educational system better prepares boys and girls for later life. By being in school together, we acquire with ease the ability to talk together, play together, and live together in a wholesome, genial manner. Fear of not being accepted by the group fades before a spirit of cooperation. The military training program in the schools of many countries, is replaced here in America by strong competition in sports. There is a natural spirit of rivalry in all people. This spirit is what prompts the initiative of the individual and cause him to work to be recognized. Sports heroes are much more idolized here in the United States than generals are. Why can't a sports' program replace the desire for war in the hearts of all the world's youth? ...lg- Row Row Row Bow Row : Huh llimlvlzmgy lmm-ltax Him-low, lrvnv Milla-r, Norman lfry, Huy Lim-. lin!

The other angels refer to me as Guardian Angel 192. Lately the Big Boss has been telling me to watch my wards more closely. It seems as though I have been so busy and then, up here time does go so very fast. Let's see when did I last look in on them? Oh yes, it was in the year of 1950 on earth when they were graduating, and here it is 1970 already. I really must perform my duty and see if the class members are getting along all right down there. Oops! Here I am already in Spencerville. I really must remember my advanced age the next time and walk down the Golden Stairs instead of sliding down the ban- nister. The outlying community appears to be one of the most progressive farming communities of any around. Well, no wonder! Quite a few of the class of '50 have taken up farming. Where did that moo come from? Oh, now I see. It is one of Gerald Boyer's prize steers. He has taken quite a few to the state fair in the past few years. These other farms belong to John Whetstone, Roger Reed, Dick Hoverman, Clayton Seibert, Roy Line, and Paul Strayer. Well, look at Paul! He just pushed a button next to the table to milk the cows while he is eating a giant-size sandwich. In fact, he has buttons all over the house for his outside work. Mary Rempfer, the home demonstration agent, just drove in the ba'rnyard. She must be going to give Paulls wife some helpful hints. Well, I think I'll go in town and look around. Yes sir, the town certainly has changed. There is Sale's 5 8z 10 store. There is Charles, a little plump perhaps, but I guess that is just a sign of prosperity. Fairie Gossard is working as clerk and Ruthella Gollifl' is checking the books, Drifting down the street and looking at the sign on the Journal-News door, I see that George Norris is the editor. There is quite a bit of activity in there. I guess I'll walk through the window to see whom George has hired. Irene Miller is his recep- tionist. I wish she could see me so I could be the receiver of one of those nice smiles. Loretta Bigelow is sitting behind her desk engrossed in her job of typing. Barry Hook and Herman Barnes are setting up type. I see that Croft's garage is still on the corner, but my how it has been enlarged! I don't see Ted around anywhere, but there is Mrs. Croft, the former Janet Pickering, behind the desk doing a bit of bookkeeping. Jim Leis, Nofrman Fry, and James Colgan are working for Ted as mechanics. The Nameplate factory is still where it was in 1950 and it also has grown tre- mendously. Leverle Rockhold is managing the plant now. It just goes to show what hard work and continued perseverance will do. Kenneth Mulholland, Lynne Mark, Lewis Meeker, Marilyn Vulgamott and Gene Youngpeter work there also. Gaberdeils are still in the coal business. There is Paul driving one of his own trucks. From the Heavenly Bulletin I learned that jobs were amazingly plentiful on earth. Jim Schosker just walked past the coal office. He is still trying to figure out a quick way of making a million. I really must have a talk with his inner self. Wesley Plikerd is in his atomic appliance store selling atomic powered stoves to Doris Moorman and June Shepler, two of the housewives of the town. Wesley has an announcement on his show window of the first appearance of Jane Snider in the Metropolitan since her European tour. I really must put in a good word for her so she can sing in the Angel's Choir. That piano music is coming from Anna Patterson's music academy, a recent addi- tion to the town. She is giving lessons to Marjorie Eutsler's, Betty Clement's, and Lois Kill's little girls. I think I'1l pick up one of the newspapers here in front of the Central and glance through it. I do hope that nobody notices this newspaper up in the air, supposedly by itself. The headlines are Doctor Deerhake Performs Surgical Miracle. The story goes on to relate, Doctor Bernard Deerhake, assisted by nurses Betty Moser and Anna Jackson performed the impossible in an operation to save the life of Bob Hindelang who was injured in an airplane accident near Lima last night. If I remember cor- rectly, Bob Fox is a research chemist in that hospital. Now don't laugh! Even angels can be forgetful. The theatrical section of the paper tells of the coming appearance of Lovena Davidson on the Ohio stage in her comedy act. The high school building seems to be the only unchanged place in town. The teachers are having a meeting tonight. Superintendent Gene Abels is directing the meeting. Other teachers are Margie Mueller, Corrine Patterson, and Bob Leis. Delores Stout is married to the coach, Bob Rupert, who is also present. The teachers are meeting to consider a plan drawn up by Carl Staas to shorten the school year. The only ones who haven't been accounted for are Bill Mauri and Adryce Kraft. Bill inherited a few million dollars about ten years ago. Adryce immediately went after Bill and incidentally, the money too. They are yachting off the coast of Florida now. Well, the time is growing late and angels of my age can't stand late hours. Besides Kas you will find out soon enough? it is a long, hard climb. -Adryce Kraft -22- Class Will We, the Senior Class of 1950, knowing our death is soon to come but hoping we might not be forgotten, do hereby make this, our last will and testament.

St. John's lost Salutatory Those Who Will Noi Graduate Dear friends, I want to welcome you wholeheartedly to this, our graduation. It is only fitting that you-our parents, friends, and teachers-should be present at a milestone in the lives of individuals whom you have helped to mold and guide. This is a product of your labors. I hope that you are proud. There is, unfortunately, a shadow over even this happy occasion. As is character- istic of every class, there are a few not he're who were with us in previous years of school. The people I want you to let your minds dwell upon tonight are those who will not graduate. There is too great a number of people who never reach this day. The reasons are numerous. Some do not finish their high school education because of financial reasons. Because of death or disablement of the breadwinner in a family the bu'rden of supporting them often falls on a member of the group who is still in high school. There are others who will get married while still in school and will forget the necessity of having an education until that education is vitally needed. Last, there is the group who, because of lack of interest and initiative, will quit high school when they are old enough to go out in the world to try their hand at, usually, numerous jobs. It is this last group with which we should be mostly concerned. I mentioned that they will try their hand at numerous jobs. This is usually the case because they a'ren't well-equipped enough in any one line to make a success of any particular thing. Too many of us do not realize the help that we get in school. I do not refer to books alone, but also to our contacts with people of our own age. I imagine that some of the adults in the group here tonight regret that they never had the opportunity to attend high school as the youth of today has. I think that all of you will agree with me that it is far better to face the battle of the school books and to enjoy the company of people one's own age than to try to cope with problems of the world at too early an age. Persons of sixteen years of age are hardly able to successfully meet and conquer these problems. I believe, too, that in this lies one of the roots of juvenile delinquency. Some of those who have quit school may not be able to find gainful employment. While thusly unemployed they are more susceptible to the influence of some misguided individuals and so are led into lives of pilfering, misdemeanors, and perhaps, eventually, crime. Some of you might be appalled by the many high school students who appear to be doing nothing in school besides fiddling around, and wonder what good it is doing them. Most of us do not take full advantage of this golden opportunity as we should. Far too many of us let these days fiy by without doing all that we are capable of doing. However, I believe that our learning to live with people in general and our age is worth every moment spent going to school, and it will offset the failure to master all that we placed before us. Perhaps there are some in this graduating class that realize even now that they have passed with a minimum amount of effort and accomplishment. Well, it was there and like the food that is on the table, they were entitled to their share. If they did not get, perhaps they will eat more heartily tomorrow because of the hunger they have experienced today. Please do not misinterpret my preceding statements. I do not wish to be under- stood as saying that all who do not finish high school will fall to rack and ruin. Many can and do make a success of themselves. I do say, however, that the odds are against those who do not do all that they are capable of doing, or who fail to complete their fhigh school work. If the opportunity arises for you to encourage some person to 'clontinue on with their high school education, and to be in school regularly, will you o so? But that is enough of serious things. Again, I want to thank all of you for being present. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the remainder of our program with us. -Adryce Kraft -25...

However, they have not stopped their activity with their meetings. Just to prove this, let's take a glimpse at their 49-50 calendar. In July Mary Rempfer and Marjorie Eutsler attended the National Convention at Columbus, Ohio. In November four girls journeyed to Bluff- ton to receive their Chapter Degree. They were Jacqueline Kinsey, Mary Rempfer, Phyllis Seibert, and Peggy Snyder. Other worthwhile activities consisted of their assembly program, style show, state convention, bake sale, and Christmas party with the F. F. A. Through the careful guidance of Mrs. Pletcher, the chapter has had a very prifitable year. 42 F. F. A.

She could sense it by the strange feeling within her when she went to the drug store and saw the girls and their dates. She was alone. She noticed Jack Duluth especially. He was with Jane, who always had many dates and had a way about her that made Angie feel inexperienced. One day Jane, with Margie in tow, came by to borrow Angie's sweater. Right then Jack came by to ask Angie to go sailing with him. This made Jane furious and as she left warned Angie that Jack would not be interested in her long. Angles oldest sister, Margaret, is engaged and helps persuade their mother to let Angie have dates. Kitty, her youngest sister, is very disgusted at the whole affair. She does not understand why Angie goes out with Jack when there are so many other things to do, Angie's sister Lorraine is just home from college. When Martin, a fellow she knows by hearsay only, calls for a date, she accepts readily, Their affair continues oh' and on until Martin takes someone else to the Country Club Dance. The night of the dance Jane succeeds in making Jack believe that Angie is really interested in Tony so he takes Jane to the dance instead of Angie. Angie wants vainly throughout the month of August for Jack to call. On the day Angie is to leave for college Jack realizes he has been tricked and the two patch up their trouble. On the train bound for college Angie leaves behind her wonderful seventh summer and looks forward to her new life. -45- I Seated: limb iiletzgcig -lill't1ll0llIlt' Kinsey, .lun Spyki-r, l'2ll llzirilosty, .lnhn lien-rliukv.

They have given him gallons of cod liver oil, hours of piano lessons, and several million words of advice. Finally one fateful day Willoughby's inner man comes out on a burp and proceeds to make a man of him. Of course his aunts nearly go Wild, because Willoughby insists on directing his conversation to a phantom called him. When the aunts get Willoughby a date for the high school dance with the homely neighbor girl, Inner Willy really goes to work. After a series of hilarious incidents, Willoughby not only gets a pretty girl, but three dates. It takes all of Inner Willy's patience and perseverance to unravel this mess, and also give Willoughby enough nerve to tell his aunts he wants to be a geologist. However, as all stories go, everything ends well, and best of all Willoughby learns to stand on his own feet and make at least some decisions. 14 7... Grade School Operetta CHRISTMAS HIGH JINKS Miss Tatsch, Directress December 16. 1949 SYNOPSIS Characters The students of the Deane Memorial School are decorating their assembly hall for their annual Christmas High J inks, the proceeds of which are to aid some worthy charity. Lilith Lister, a wealthy pupil, insists that the money be turned over to her mother's pet cause, but Miss Jarvis, the popular young school nurse, hopes that the local clinic may be the recipi- ent. The coming of Christmas promises only sadness to Wren Russett, a poor but popular pupil. Her small brother must have an oper- ation to restore his sight, and besides, her father has been missing for a year. She does her bit, however, for the success of their Christmas High Jinks. For a time, a quaran- tine threatens to halt the children's plans, but the cloud passes over. Wren's troubles also are scattered, largely through the instru- mentality of her classmate, Slat Whitney, who by good luck finds her father, a victim of amnesia. With skies clear again, the pupils return with renewed hilarity to the task of decorating their Christmas High J inks hall.
