Till in every arch and line All our faults and failings shine, It may grow a castle grand, Or a wreck upon the sand. Do you ask what building this That can show both pain or bliss, That can be both dark and fair ? Lo its name is character' Build it well whate'er you do J Build it straight and strong and true Build it clean and high and broad f 1 u NH 'i Build it for the eyes of God IN ff I f A Contents X THE SAWMILL X AXMEN X X FINISHED LUMBER ff ff TALL TIMBER fl!

Mr. Hausser was one of the many persons who helped the class to grow through education and understanding. It is with sincere gratitude that this yearbook is dedicated to the lasting memory of his great work. It has been said that our oppor- z-3, 5733 tunities to do good are our talents. 9 '21 3 We, the Senior Class, know that it 9? has only been through the opportuni- , if ties which our Parents have given us V qs l that we have been able to develop our A talents through education. We feel we can never fully repay them for what they have done. Therefore, it is by this expression of gratitude that we hope to lessen our great debt to J them. A Q' We wish to extend our apprecia- tion to our mathematics and science teacher, Mr. Collins. He has been ofmuch assistance to our class in its many projects culminating in the Washington D.C. trip which could not have been made without his help. The Class wishes to express its thanks to him. 4 if X X 4 Z fQfff2f,f QQ 39 ts. X ff . iff --as N, 1 M- TVX .am . JV. rv-,. ,A.,- grvvnnqvnt , Q tw' VX E. C.

Soon you will be free to make the choices you have been wanting to make and developing the independ- ence you have long sought. It is a wonderful privilege to have this freedom because there is power in it. There is the power to conquer the world and some men have tried it and would have succeeded except that there were other men who wanted to keep their free- dom. Most of life consists of keeping our freedom without taking someone elses away from him. Which team will you choose to join? Henry P. Zaborniak Kent State University, Bowling Green State University B,S. in Education Biology, General Science The faults of a child are the fetters of man. Going to the American school is the basic training period for our American way of life. Our School tries to help people better prepare for the many opportunities that may arise in their life-time. An education is a necessity for all who want a comfortable living and want to enjoy the privileges and rights of our Ameri- can life.

Benjamin Franklin If Temperance prevails , then education can prevailg If Temper- ance fails, then education must fail. Horace Mann Though I look old yet I am strong and lusty, for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood. William Shake spe are The barroom as a bank: You deposit your money--and lose itg your character--and lose itg your time--and lose it, your manly independence--and lose itg your home comfort--and lose itg your children's happiness--and lose it, your own soul--and lose it. Every moderate drinker could abandon the intoxicating cup, if he would, every inebriate would if he could. J. B. Cough Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine.

Dow Wagner, a former member, re- ceived the American Farmer degree. He was the first member from Spencer- ville to ever receive this honor. Dwight Wolford and Gerald Keller were the nineteenth and twentieth members to receive the coveted State Farmer degree. Dwight also won third place in the State Agricultural Engineering Contest at the annual State F. F. A. Convention. Gene Goodwin and Glen Goliff received gold in the Public Speaking Contest. Glen represented the Chapter in the State Contest. Lynn Wilkins and Gary Schwartz had an expense-free trip to Kansas City for their fair winnings. Four other members accompanied them to Kansas City.

Their jobs ranged from keeping the magazines and books orderly to helping find proper reading material for the students. Each librarian donated one period a day to the library duties. The substitutes put time in whenever a regular librarian was absent. STUDENT COUNCIL This year the Student Council under the guidance of Miss Deemer and the new principal, Mr. Zaborniak, met once each month. Several problems with future bearing on the school were solved. After careful study the standards for homecoming queen and attendants were set up to include that a girl may be attendant once in her high school years and may be queen in her senior year. Another accomplishment was the hall monitor system. According to this plan persons were placed on second and third floors to see that students weren't out of class without an excuse and to guide visitors to their destination. The council wishes to express appreciation to all who made this year very successful. President Roberta Mack Secretary Goldie Daniels Reporter Phyllis Nevergall ROW l, LEFT TO RIGHT: J. l-lirn, R.

Elaine inherited the house at her uncle's death. When they got there they found Dr. Fersig, a mysterious physician, his sinister housekeeper, and deaf mute son in charge of the house. The old house was worthless but Elaine and Dr. Fersig knew there was a large sum of money hid.den somewhere in the house. Strange things happened. The bridge was blown up leaving everyone isolated on the island. Strange noises where heard, a skeleton walked through the dim shadows of the house and Elaine disappeared.

FOOTBALL The 1955 grid season came to a close with seventeen boys winning varsity letters. The seniors who helped to make our team a success this year were co-captains Bill Oackes and Rex Coil along with Gene Goodwin, Tom McPheron, Bernard Malone, Jerry Wilson, and Dick Fryer. Because of the increased support of the student body and the inspiring help of the coaches the team displayed a sportsman-like attitude of com- petition and team spirit through out the football season.
