It we have done this, then our goal has been accom- plished. The Annual Staff Contents Commanding Officers Honorable Dischargees Bootcamp Drattees Combat Recreation 'WF' JOHN MEDAUGH Appreciation Dear Parents, we wish to show in some way our gratitude and ap- preciation for your help and guid- ance in these tender and formid- able years. lt has only been through your love and sympathy that we have been able to conquer some of the problems that confront youth. We appreciate the fine leadership that has been shown us by our parents, but now we know it is our time to begin to lead. Dedication The graduating class of T952 wishes to dedicate this twenty- seventh issue of The Echoes to John Medaugh and the other sen- ior service boys who are in the armed forces. All these fellows, who are enthusiastic and courag- eous, are determined to keep our country safe so that it can still be the land of the free and the home of the brave. ll The class knows that words some- times are meaningless, but we hope our few words here do show our appreciation.

Bnmstmsn 8.5. and M.A. Ohio Northern University Ohio State University Advanced Drawing The hope of the world lies in the education of its youth. No nation can long endure if its iudgments and acts are based upon superstition, preiudice, avarice, and hate. The educated youth then must be one who acquires facts that have been tested, is willing to modify previous opinions in light of the new evidence even though it moy not be to his immediate economic welfare, and accepts his fellow man with a love that has been cultured with the qualities exemplified by our savior Jesus Christ.

As you look to the west of the high school building you can see that the Board of Education has this community issue well under way. Besides handling the problem of a new grade school building, the board, com- prised of local businessmen and farmers, has done an ex- cellent iob of taking core of the duties of operating a school. The students and the citizens are grateful to these men who have taken valuable time from their occupations and pleasur- able activities to handle the rnaior problems of the school, President v - Ted Rupert Clerk - - Homer Grassley Top Rowfrlarry Wierwille, Curtis Balthaser, Ted Rupert, Bottom Row-Robert Baker, Tom Dillon, Homer Grassley.

For the last two years the school news has been published in the Spencerville Journal-News through the cooperation of its editor. The Black and White Banner is the new name that has been given to that section of the paper. The staff would like to thank the editor of the Spencerville Jour- nal-News, Ben Focht, for his co- operation in allowing us to publish the school news in the Journal. We would also like to extend our appreciation to Mrs. Clark, our ad' visor, for her time and guidance. BUS DRIVERS V. Shaffer, R. Jarvis, J. Point, H. Monfort, L. Evans, L. Evans, A. Porter, R. Cook, B. Mullenhour, N.

COOKS Mrs. Bigelow, Mrs. Keil. The pleasant meals that we all enjoy everyday in the cafeteria are made possible through the work of the two cooks, Mrs. Evelyn Bigelow and Mrs. Winifred Keil. The fine food the students receive makes each day a better school day. JANITORS Loren Evans, Charles Shobe. Long before and long after the noise of the bells cease at Spen- cerville High, you can find the ianitors, Loren Evans and Charles Shobe, hard at work keeping the equipment in order and keeping the building clean. Through the fine cooperation of these two men our school is a better place day by day.

FEW U gb- 1 ,A .4- fi HF x Are Adults Setting Good Examples? Parents, teachers, and friends, it is indeed a great honor and privilege to address you on behalf of the members of the Senior Class of 1952. We, the members of the class, are indeed appreciative of all the contributions of kindness and helpfulness you have given to us. My topic, Are Adults Setting Good Examples? , deals both with you and with us, the graduating class, since it won't be long until we ourselves will be adults serving our community. I will discuss this topic from a youth's point of view. A big weakness in adult guidance lies in the religious phase of life. There are so many parents who encourage their children to go to church, but do not go themselves. Soon the children begin believing that their parents are getting along without attending church, and they can do the same and still not miss anything in life. But, friends, this is not true. It has been said, and it can truly be said that Religion and character are caught and not taught. The little snatches of religious truth caught and picked up by the child when he is still at home usually stay with him during his entire life time. A local church revealed this sign: Don't send your children to our church, come with them. This certainly is a valuable piece of advice. lf each and everyone of us would practice this, I am sure we would have a better world in which to live. Another church had a sign which read: CH--CH. Then it asked What is missing? Well, of course, the answer is the letters U and R since CHURCH spells church, but the moral of this sign is that you are, meaning the American people, missing from the churches. Rev. Willard Thomas said that ministers of long ago in England had few people missing from their churches because there, when anyone committed a crime, if he would touch the door knob on the church door before a policeman could catch him, he would have the mercy of the church for thirty days. The school is also another place a child receives religious education. Within the school room the Christian relationship is practiced to the utmost. There we learn to get along together, to live together, and to play together. We become congenial toward one another and learn to cooperate and are tolerant of each other. This is the basis of Christian teaching. By going to school we not only get book learning, but we get something far greater and more valuable- the Christian way of living. Another weakness in adult guidance lies in the corruption of our government. The Kefauv- er Committee was established to investigate crime and graft. When this committee started func- tioning and started tracing the actions of big time gamblers, it was discovered that they not only had influence over local but state and national politicians as well. They control the police departments and law enforcement agencies in many cities and even the courts in some cases. These people seem to have a lust for power and money and they don't care how they secure it. ls it any wonder that some students cheat on their tests and other school work? What more can be expected when they are constantly faced with this corruption in the government of our United States? Maybe the government wouldn't be full of people who are working for their own selfish desires, if the other half of the adults, who are eligible to vote but do not, would exercise their voting power by going to the polls at every election. It really is startling and hard to believe that only 487: of the American citizens actually exercise their voting power. This is one of the greatest privileges that the American people have. lt has been argued for quite some time that the voting power should be extended to the eighteen year olds because at this time the operation of the government is fresh upon each individual's mind. During the school years is the time that government is emphasized so thoroughly. Maybe if the voting power were extend- ed to the eighteen year olds the percentage of voting would rise. Another enlightening situation brought out through investigations was the fixing of bas- ketball games. If these unlawful practices wouldn't have been halted, they could have very easily spread to the small home town teams. It is this lack of fair play in life situations that sets the wrong example before the youth of today. How about the home life of youth today? Is it like it should be, or are the children finding home life uninteresting? lf they are, how can this be corrected? Are the parents understandingly close to their children? Do they take a real interest in them or are they looked upon as other perishable material possessions? If parents would take a genuine interest in youth activities, perhaps it would help them in understanding the problems of youth. Everyone of us at one time or another is called upon to be an example. We must remember that what we teach our children by example, if it is good, is better than what we teach them by precept. Lois Slentz -21- This Scribble Page Sponsored BY Kaufman Studio Delphos, Ohio School Citizenship PARENTS - FACULTY - FRIENDS- On behalf of the forty-four members of the 1952 graduating class, I wish to welcome you to this-Our Graduation. It is only fitting that you our parents, faculty, and friends, be at this great occasion. You have provided many opportunities for us throughout all our school years. Among the many opportunities and one of the most important, is citizenship. But what is being offered to our students in the line of citizenship? Are they able to live as free citizens in our schools or are they tied to a strict law of silence? For example, in some schools when the students are dismissed they are to leave the building in files as if they were first and second grade students. Is this citizenship, are the students free and do they have the freedom to exercise or are they like prisoners who do as other folks say? Some schools have detention rooms where students are placed after they have done something wrong. Detention rooms are like solitary confinement cells, and after the student has been placed in these rooms, he learns nothing. Wouldn't it be better to have a person to act as a councilor and give the student who has gone wrong a bit of guidance, rather than to punish him and to take the chance that he won't go wrong again? Of course, the task of teaching citizenship cannot be wholly placed on the teachers' should- ers. The students have a responsibility. Their part in citizenship is to carry on regular work and activities, to obey and enforce laws, and to be punctual. The lessons must be learned thoroughly, thoroughly doesn't mean lust to have the questions answered but to have the lesson so com- pletely Iearned that the student could lead class discussion if necessary. To do this a pupil must learn the power of concentration, which is another great aid to citizenship. One must study the task so that it may be a completed iob. Not only in studies must a completed iob be done, but also in other activities such as athletics. For girls and boys alike, every school offers some type of athletics. In athletics a person has a chance to develop himself, not only physically but mentally, he must learn to take defeat when it comes and not to loose his temper, and he must be able to think fast, for when a tight spot comes in a game, he must know what to do and how to do it. For those who do not play on the teams that represent the school, there is an intramural program planned. Thus, stu- dents participating in intramurals are also getting their citizenship training. In school a student has a great chance to develop his sense of responsibility by seeing that his studies are done, 'by helping other students and accepting the position of an officer in some organization. The classrooms must offer a chance to live together, to think together, and to work to- gether in order to build better citizens for today and for the future. Classrooms aren't places iust to learn the lesson, but are places for the students to think and to live. Perhaps there is no school in the United States that does not let its students vote in one way or another. What is better citizenship training than voting? In many schools each class takes an annual trip. Traveling on these all day trips gives the students another opportunity to live and learn together. Inviting outside speakers to come to the schools is a fine way for the students to learn and to broaden their understandings. Hearing from persons who have actually witnessed the happenings always gives a person a better chance to form his own opinion. These are only a few of the many opportunities for the students but are they receiving these opportunities and even more for good citizenship? Are we living up to the ideals that were set up by Earl James McGrath, United States Commissioner of Education, when he said, Citizenship to the growing child comes to mean pretty much what the community shows it means. The best way to teach young people the meaning of our democratic freedoms is to demonstrate by our own example that we have mastered the three R's of citizenship-RIGHTS, RESPECTS, and RESPONSIBILITIES. Grace Monfort ..23.. Prophecy: The Thing As we were walking down the street In bright and sunny May We sang and danced and carried on In a most annoying way. Soon after that we disappeared That class of 'fifty-two' But if we'd have our chance at life Here's part of what we'd do: Dallas, still strumming his ole guitar Has become a western cowboy star. Carole Jean, so people say, Is an airline hostess for T.W.A. Jim Clement, with all his fun A pretty Delphos girl has won. Objective reached for Patty Lou Pryer To become a Missionary was her desire. Eugene's stock will always win In every fair he shows them in. Charletta's known near and far For she's a famous Opera star. We always told Dow that he should sing- Now he's known as the second Bing , Ruth Anna Brown will always laugh About having to learn to spell Grandstaff . As we move on down through this list, We find Don Wisher a commercial artist. lf you should get sick and need an M. D. Ask Dr. Sue Hilty to give a remedy. Johnny Medaugh the world must roam Someday, we're sure that he'll come home. F. F. A. gave Don Clement his start His farm is the pride of Hummel's heart. l.etha and Bob, for now and forever- Never apart, always together. Fleeta is married and lives on Main Street She's the mother of three and still real swe D. E. P. as Editor Perry now ranks To the Journal News he gives his thanks. Lois is still a dentist's nurse, But being Jim's wife will always come first. Frank works with shrubs and flowers He loves the outdoors, and there spends hou Janet is now a minister's wife With Walt she lives a contented life. Stanley's fame now really mounts- He calls all square dances here-abouts. Mary Jane still has vitality plus et. I'S. What she's doing by now may surprise all of us. Junior, as he was meant to be, Was an Olympic's champ in sixty-three. Donna, pert as ever, alert and young, Makes life a joy and always has fun. Merlin Uakej is quite the man He has a steady iob with Uncle Sam. To be a nurse has been her ambition Carolyn always fulfills her mission. Bob Hirn, in the daytime, sleeps- He has to, with the hours he keeps. ln the Army, Doug is in K. P. so much His sleeping will ever get him in dutch. For Eileen and Neal, life isn't bitter They're happily married and hire their HSllleI'. To be an executive was Delbert's fate The name Neuman still rules Name Plate. Martin now works for the Lima News His trusty camera he'll always use. Mary Holten, so we found out Was discovered by a talent scout. Dick is traveling like Marco Polo- He drives a truck for Coca Cola. Betty, as always, is a swell pal- She works at Gregg's, this pretty gal. Elsie Gales, so they say, ls now president of P. T. A. Bobby Harter made one fatal error- When he mistook Jane for Jean Strayer. Where can we find Rita Grace? For her, these days, there's iust one Place. Russell Louth leads an interesting life Since Judy H. has become his wife. Gale iust had to buy a new Cadillac As often as he goes to Sharon's and back. Such a beauty is Norma Jean She has been declared a Milkmaid Queen! Ah, what fate will befall Jim Miller?? He is, as always, a lady-killer. Knowledge in hog-raising Jane gained here Is of no use to her as a mountaineer. On a large western ranch lives Charles Klaus It had to be large to hold his new house. As a child, Mick idolized Babe Ruth Now HE is the idol of today's youth. So, as you walk down the Spee-ville streets Some dark and gloomy day If you should see a great big box A 'standing in your way Be sure to stop and open it up That's my advice to you 'Cause we're a sitting in that box- Our class of 'fifty-two'.

One of the highlights of the year was the wiener roast, which was made pos- sible through the combined efforts of the class in a paper drive to obtain money for the expenses.

Varsity Basketball The Spencerville varsity basketball squad followed in the footsteps of the football squad by coming through with the best won-lost mark in the school's history. The boys were league and tournament champions of Allen County. In compiling their 18-2 record, the team suffered a one-point defeat at the hands of New Knoxville during the regular season and a two-point defeat to St. Henry in the Sectional at Celina. The squad was again represented well on the All- County Team as Mick Miller made it for the third year, Junior Richardson for the second, and Del Neuman for the first.

RESERVE BASKETBALL The reserve basketball squad showed signs of future greatness as it registered a brilliant 11-6 marlt for the season. An encouraging phase of their play was that many sophomores and a couple of iuniors will be counted on heavily in years to come. Another fact was that the reserves won the ma'orit of their ames from non-lea ue o onents as well as the county teams.

A three to two record was held by the squad in the league play. Two non-league games were lost to Delphos-Jefferson during the season.

Thirty-five boys reported for places on the team. The highlights of the season were the third place finish at the Northwest Conference Meet and the runner-up finish at the Lima Junior Olympics. The showing was sparked by the performances of Doug Thornton and Howard Morris who set new marks in the high jump and discus, respectively, at the Lima Junior Olympics.

Actual participation in managing some of the affairs of the school helps the students to learn to assume responsibility. The student council, composed of two elected members from each of the classes of the high school, offers an opportunity for experience in democratic procedures. Among the achievements of the Student Council was the first Homecoming which was o great success. Specific plans have been developed for the popular election of separate junior high cheerleaders for football and basket- ball. This plan has been in effect with Varsity Cheerleaders for the past six years. -57-- . M mf-0, . .1 , M A -' -. -53- -----Y f -rin ll 3 BOYS' GLEE CLUB Row I-B. Mace, R. Ridgon, J. Seibert, B.

The mixed chorus participated in the Spring Concert on March 2l, and the eisteddfod on April 18. These events helped to show the group what they had accomplished from their slaving.

GRADE SCHOOL OPERETTA GOLDILOCKS' ADVENTURE This musical playlet is based on the old favorite story, The Three Bears, and has been somewhat elaborated in order to make it very effective and spectacular for an evening's entertainment. ACT I-A birthday party is progressing in honor of Goldilocks. Her little guests arrive, bringing gifts, they sing and dance, and when they leave, they beg for Goldilocks to accompany them on the way home. ACT II-Goldilocks leaves her companions and enters the woods. Fatigued she sits down to rest and falls asleep. Pan, the little Wood God, comes tripping in gaily, spies Goldilocks, and decides to put dreamdrops in her eyes. When she awakes, the child discovers to her dismay that it has grown quite dark, and she is uncertain just which way to go. Seeing a light in the distance, she hurries toward it, to seek help. ACT lll-To her surprise the light is the home of the Three Bears, who are a bit more up to date than the original bears were. While the parents go away, Baby Bear is told he may have the little cubs of the neighborhood come over to spend the evening with him, While the cubs go for a dip in the lake, Goldilocks arrives. The cubs return to find her and chase her around the room. Her screams attract the attention of her father and mother and the neighbors who have been searching for her. They all rush in iust before she is captured. Pa and Ma Bear are placed in the Zoo and Baby Bear accompanies Goldilocks to her home.

Why? Because music stimulates men's souls to great endeavor, to enthusiasm, and to achievement. To illustrate these facts, the band's half time shows helped to inspire the football team to a successful year. A stirring program was presented in the Concert on March 21, and the band consisting of sixty-one members proudly participated in the District Meet on April 14. 2' e' TWIRLERS Mr. Hinshaw, Director Carolyn Adams, Jean Strayer, Carol Bigelow, Jane Strayer, Maxine Sprague ORCHESTRA President - Gale Whetstone Treasurer - - Sue Hilty Vice President Norma Monfort Manager Donna Suever Secretary - - Grace Monfort Librarian Evelyn Morris Music is a universal language. lt speaks to men when words fail to carry meaning.

When many bills accumulate, Mrs. Buford remembers her husband's rich old-maid Aunt who lives in California. She writes to her and receives a letter saying that she will soon stop over for a few days' visit while on her way to the East. She seems interested in the children as she thinks they are all girls. The last sentence of her letter hits like a bombshell. She will give the girls 55,000 each. Winnie is terribly upset by this. Something must be done. He has a great idea. He will dress up like a girl. Then the fun begins. Circumstances become complicated as Aunt Sophronia is iniured and must stay in the hospital. Everyone is so very nice to her, especially the young men who come to call that she begins to wish for a boy to carry on the family name. Poor Winnie has overplayed his hand. He could kick himself good, but a surprising event takes place which makes everything all right and he gets his big check after all! ,64- I 7 1, - M ,,1 ,- we Q .
