Ji Dedication A beautiful rose placed in a room adds luster to its surround- ings and lends its fragrance as service to those who come within its reach. Remove the rose, its beauty lingers in the fragrant perfume for long hours. So it is with beautiful lives. Jane Britton and Bill Morris, in their role as students, left a ray of sunshine and happiness which made the lives of th'eir classmates more pleasant. Mrs. Pauline Meihls, as a teacher, willingly bestowed her countless services in our schoolas she helped to mold the charac- ter of many children. It is to them--Jane Britton, Bill Morris, and Mrs. Pauline Meihls--that the Senior Class of 1955 dedicates this annual. Appreciation-Parents We, the Senior Class of Nineteen- hundred Fifty-five, wish to express our sincere appreciation to our dear parents for the help which they have Through their understanding, love, and guidance we have received the basic education which has shaped and molded our characters. Although words cannot express what we feel for our parents, we wish to say a great big Thank you from the bot- tom of our hearts.

This attribute is the passport to most things that we yearn for--admiration, respect, love, and happiness. It is a mistake to think that one is born with it. It is an acquired trait, as readily acquired as good manners which constitute a very important part of it. Being gracious is an art, but unlike most arts one need not have a special talent for it. Only the desire to be gracious--plus thoughtfulness and practice--are required. It is a matter of treating others as you would be treated--not because it is the diplomatic thing to do--but because you want to treat them that way. The art of being gracious is developed by doing kind things until such be- havior becomes characteristic of you.

Each year the Board of Education has before it a difficult task--that of handling the end- less duties which enable our school to run smoothly. The Board, comprised of local businessmen and farmers, has done an excellent job in managing the major problems of the school. To them we wish to express our gratitude for the time which they have spent to help further our education. l ,. 5.--, -.Q ,-'-E -..' E. W. HAUSSER University A. B.g B.

Columbia Science, Mathematics To thine own self be true And it must follow as the Thou canst not them be false Fr ie nd ship is a bond between persons which is strenghtened by use. It starts as a small acquain- tance, and experience by experience develops into a beautiful, life giving achievement. lt is very strongly intertwined with our feelings and drives, and any experience which tends to weaken it leaves a personality marring scar of emotionalism. To build a worthy friendship requires the full co- operation ofboth parties, as well as a goodly group of v ita,l experiences. May your life be built on friendships, carefully and firmly founded, so that you will escape the emotionalisms of distrust and disillusion and find that peace and happiness which only a well spent life can give. 8 Gls PEARL FRITZ Bowling Green University Ohio State University B.

In the first eighteen years of our life there are few problems, few responsibilities--nothing but care-free days. That is the attitude the adult world seems to have takeng youth today live in a perfect Garden of Eden. let us for a few moments take a look into that so-called Garden. This year's class of seniors was born in the closing years of the greatest depression the United States has ever known. Fol- lowing closely on its heels came World War II leaving in its wake only slight memories of fathers for many of the young people. In the last five years another so-called war has come and gone. Scientists have learned to travel faster than sound and developed bombs which could wipe us from the face of the earth in a few seconds. There are cars that will take us nearly any desirable place at any rate of speed. Do you think anyone trying to grow up in a situation like this could sit back and enjoy life without knowing what is happening? ln school the curriculum has been extended to include something besides the three r's of yesterday. Foreign affairs and world issues are a part of the required work in high school today. The lands about which many adults have read only in books and fairy stories will soon be realities to many of us. For every boy realizes he must spend two years in the armed forces in one of these strange lands. These young men are better ready for these services for they have studied world problems and understand the conflicts in'countries other than their own. With all the speed at our command in the world today it is in only a few minutes we can be many miles from home. Young people can travel great distances to shows or any other place for entertainment. Yet have you noticed the interest shown in church and social groups? Look at all the M,Y.F.'s, Y,P.M.B.'s, and Y,M,P,S,'s. Out of these fellowship groups the number of young men going into the ministry increases every year. There are more missionaries today than the world has ever known. Next Sunday evening look and see how many young people are at the service, then compare that with the number thirty years ago. The church isn't the only institution with organizations for youth. Look at 4-H, Grange, and the school activities: music, sports, F,F.A. and its sister, F,H,A, These are only a few. How do they help? What do we profit from them? Do you notice the loyalty behind a team, win or lose? The democratic form of teamwork shows up on any football field. Hardly ever do we have riots because one team loses and another wins: the crowd and team have far better sportsmanship than that. Valuable leadership, cooperation, diligence, and dependability are fostered in these youth activities. Glen Cunningham, a famous young miler, in track was once offered 325,000 to appear in a cigarette ad. But he valued his name too much to allow it to be used in such a manner. Young people value their names and know that many times an entire career is ruined by the loss of a name. The nation wide I speak for Democracy contest or Prince of Peace speeches show what part youth have in world affairs. The Voice of America is a part of youth's work against com- munism. Every time an election comes around, school children are dismissed to baby sit while mothers go to the polls to vote. There are bands of young voters all over the country, who non- partisanly, try to get people to come out and vote. Ofcourse,there are the teenagers who have gone wrong.You see it in the news every week-- mob beats man. boy attacks small girl, teenagers rob building. But there are only four per cent of all persons between thirteen to nineteen, those classed as teenagers, who ever are classified as juvenile dellnquents. The other ninety-six per cent are never given write-ups in the news. Why is it the bad is over played and the good over looked? Nevertheless, America is graduating m a t u re , intelligent seniors every day. They are ready to become tomorrow's leaders because they have been educated for the job. 23 Prophecy This is the prophecy of our class, In which no other group can surpass. These words will be the fate, Of our very dear classmates. Who on graduation day, Their farewells and good-byes did say. They hated to depart from the dear old school, Where they were taught by the golden rule. Bill's hogs will always win In every fair he shows them in. Elsie and Ted for now and forever-- Never apart. always together. Homer as he was meant to be, Was an Olympic's champ in seventy-three. Judy is married and lives on North Street She's the mother of three and still real sweet. F,F.A, gave Jay his start His farm is the pride of Hummel's heart. On a large westem ranch lives Clara Klaus It had to be large to hold her new house. Raymond S. in the daytime sleeps He has to with the hours he keeps.

Elizabeth Miller so they say, Is now president of P.T,A, Glenn G. just had to buy a new Cadillac As often as he goes to his girl's and back. Earl, the shorter twin, was always popular He now plays basketball with the famed Globe- trotters. Danelda still has vitality plus What she's doing by now may surprise all of us. Bob R. leads an interesting life Since Jean Place has become his wife. Lorna's known near and far For she is a famous Opera star. Don D. went to college to study law That was a shock to us all. Mary Lou so they say Is an airline hostess for T.W.A. Gerald 'Murphy' top him if you can Will someday be the world's richest man. Joan 'Corkey' now sits on the boss's knee She always said a stenographer she would be. For Dwight his late life holds its charm Right at home--down on the farm. Phyllis Sever with all her fun A nice Delphos guy has won. Ralph R. was always quiet and shy He will preach for the Gospel Temple by and by. Barbara pert as ever, alert and young Makes life a joy and always fun. Poor Keith Young will spend all his life Just trying to find the perfect wife. Then there was auburn haired Mae For her mystery stories she gets much pay. We always told Earl Fair that he should sing-- Now he's known as the second Bing , Our Evelyn was altogether lively, charming, and sweet In her chosen career of nursing we know she can't be beat. Jim Wilkins was always a lot of fun He is nor M. G. M.'s leading comedian. Carol with her rythmn is a famed drummer She plays with a dance band known as 'The Strummers . Dennis Wells always a lot of fun had And outstanding chemist is this lad. Lenora known to our class as Norty' Now drives a Buick that is very sporty. John Moorman who with girls did rate ls now a professor at Ohio State. Linda Place so they say has become a general's wife Since Ronnie R. stepped into her life. Bill McDonough will continue his brain to rack For a way to get the Ford to Lima and back. Marilyn M. will settle down To home life in the Old Home Town . Eva, having left our town, ls now a movie star of renown. Clair Z. to Washington will be sent And there he will run for President. Janet Miller is a girl with plenty of class As a homemaker none can surpass. What will be Ed Daniel's end is hard to say After he's wrestling champ of the U.S.A. Carolyn Hile will go to the top With her fashionable dress shop. Larry Reeder will gain renown As Ringling Brothers' noted clown. Jean Hance so we found out Was discovered by a talent scout. As we move on down through this list We find Keith Steiger a famous artist. Patty A. is now a 'pro' football player's wife With Fred V. she lives a contented life. Charlie Harter is known near and far For he is the world's famous basketball star. Bob Meeker will show a knack For victory on the race track. 2010 will find Jim H. from labor freed With nothing to do but sit and read. David Becker will work with might and main And someday own the l.G.A. store chain. Gerald Bell will travel to other lands And there leave his mark on foreign sands. Frank Kill is quite a man He has a steady job with Uncle Sam. Max S. the world will roam Someday we're sure that he'll come home. Gerald Coil's fame now really mounts And he is auctioneer for all the sales here-abouts. So as you leaf through this yearbook of '55' You can see that our class as always is still gay and quite alive. 24 THE DESHLER INSURANCE AGENCY, INC. Earl H. Deshler Don T.

They were evenly divided and given the titles of '7A and IB. Through the year several projects were undertaken. Among them were a reading and spelling contest, the weaving of a block rug which was given to the Rose Lawn Home for Christmas, and forming a speaking choir for several assemblies. The seventh grade would like to thank all teachers and schoolmates who helped them take this big step up the ladder of education. Row 4: L. Meeker, G, Kilgore, R.

Gerald Erter Methodist Church Circuit 4-8 Salufatory Did you ever stop to realize in what a magnificent world we are living? We, the members of this class, were born in a critical period of history. During the past half century we have witnessed more changes in the amount of goods and services made available to man than ever produced in all the time of hu- man history. Radio and television have given every American a ring-side seat at many important events in the world--an address by the President, proceedings at the United Nations, and nominations of a President at a political party convention as we had in 1952. Religiously, one may be inspired by the refreshing addresses given by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen on his television program, Life is Worth Liv- ing and Norman Vincent Peale, editor of the Guideposts Magazine, an inspir- ational monthly for all faiths. We, here in America, do not exist for the government, but the government ex- ists for us, the people. In this great land of opportunity each individual life is valued. Itis our dream that no person is deprived of life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness because of race, color, or creed. The Supreme Court in regard to segregation in schools is working for this dream. Not only are we concerned with the spiritual and social side, but we are striving for a more enriched physical life. All over the world we have scientists conducting experiments and research hospitals which are attempting to curb the many different diseases. Each year we have the annual Heart, Cancer, and Polio Drives. Recently, Dr. Jonas E. Salk developed the antipolio vaccine which has proved to be 80-90 per cent ef- fective in preventing paralytic polio. Out of the goodness of brotherhood Presi- dent Eisenhower made a request that we give the vaccine to Russia to aid her in her health problems. As our nation advances Dr. Salk and others will be working for 100 per cent effectiveness of the vaccine. We, too, are preparing ourselves for the job of assuming the responsibility of leading America even further in world progress by profiting from her past, analyzing her present problems, and planning for our future needs. We can pave the way toward be- coming better leaders through a well-rounded education. The education of children in the Spencerville area began in the second half of the nineteenth century with schools located on Mulberry-st. and at the corner of Pearl and East Fourth-sts. A four-room brick school was built in 1876 and high school facilities were added in 1861. Today we have a very modern grade and high school--located side by side. Even the curriculum has been extended from the 3 R's to include such subjects as Latin, Social science, chemistry, biology, history, and geography which will give us a well-rounded education. The work of our school years is completed, but our education will be continued so long as we live. We have been in the school for life, now we are stepping in- to 1ife's school. We are very glad to have you here to join in this part of our transition, and we hope that the program will be one of genuine interest and pleasure to you. In the behalf of the class of 1955, I extend to each of you a most cordial wel- come. 49 CO fag, ff-+5 'C Q 1,- Valedictorian Judy Balthaser Salutatorian Joan Wienken Y' C' qc- ,Q V Y Vvs Q A Li Motto: The future belongs to those who prepare for it.

Echoes Staff Due to circumstances beyond the staff's control, the summer meetings usually had at Mrs. Sarka's were not held. Therefore, all the Echoes work has been done in Room 23. It was there that the theme was chosen, the dummy drawn, and the 1955 Echoes were produced. The staff would like to express its appreciation to those who helped to make the Echoes a success, and to Mrs. Sarka for her wonderful guidance throughout the year.

Ted Biederman Jerry Hughes . . .... Jay Seibert Dave Martin . .... John Moorman Louise . . , .... Elsie Ha milton Myrtle ..... , . Ioan Wienken Janice Nagel ................ Lorna Strayer Myra Jason .................. Barbara Ickes When Lottie took her job as the Nagels' maid, she thought the chaos caused by their spoiled infant Janice would end as the little darling grew up. But, as Lottie says, she was wrong---the Nagels never let Janice grow up. At fifteen she is still coddled and pampered like a two-year old. Jerry Hughes, a nice boy of sixteen, knows this very well, but he can't help having a terrific crush on Janice, even though she treats him like a dog and makes him wish she'd fall for somebody herself and see how it is. Then she does fall--and hard--for Jess Pomeroy, a handsome football player. To make it complete, Jess takes no in- terest in her whatever, he has a girl. This causes Janice to have the worst tantrum of her life--and her parents to have a riot. Up till now, they've been able to go out and get her what she wanted, but this tantrum can't be stopped. Jerry is very happy. This will cure the brat. But his joy is short-lived. To his surprise, he finds next day that Jess is playing right along with Janice. He is most discouraged. So is his pal Dave because he and Jerry are to play in a lo- cal tennis match tomorrow, and they'll never win with Jerry in such a state. Dave decides something has to be done, and he soon finds out why Jess is so sweet on Janice. It seems that Janice's parents are trying to buy her the man she wants, just as they've bought her everything else since she was born. This discovery is made at a party, and it results in a near riot which causes Janice to go into her worst tantrum ever, and also brings Jess and his real girl to a near break-up. Things are in a pretty sad state by the next morning, but Janice surprises everyone with a sudden change for the better and everything is straightened out beautifully. 60 Junior Class Play Mountain Gal CAST OF CHARACTERS Deedee .....................
