She was a teacher for two years at Sulphur Springs High School and taught Eng- lish and commercial subjects. Mrs. Klopfenstein was most sincerely esteemed by fac- ulty and students alike, and her sudden death was a great shock and a sorrow to the entire school and community.

CLASS HISTORY In September, 1941, nineteen eager boys and girls entered Sulphur Springs High as Freshmen, with Grace Zerbe as our leader, and James Baker as her assistant. Mr. Tasker was their class advisor. Somehow we pulled through that year and advanced to the rank of Sophomores. We chose as leader, Ernest Striker and as his helper, Kermit Kibler. Our advisor was Mrs. Klopfenstein. A farewell party was held dplring this year for Lawrence Bergsteadt. At last we were accepted as upper classmen, namely as Juniors. We selected Kermit Kibler as our leader and Donald Schnarrenberger as his assistant. Our class play, Me and My Shadow was directed by Mrs. Jones, who was also our advisor. On May 6th we held our Junior-Senior Banquet at Bucyrus Y. M. C. A. Last fall our class of four girls and four boys started our Senior year. Kermit Kibler and Donald Schnarrenberger were chosen leader and assistant with Mr. Den- nis as our class advisor. The senior play Through the Keyhole was given on April 27th. Baccalaureate was Sunday, May 13, and Commencement on May 18th. --KERMIT KIBLER CLASS PROPHECY It was a warm summer day in July, 1960, when I boarded a large transport plane to make a business trip to the West Coast. I was very much surprised to see that Donald Schnarrenberger was at the controls of the plane. As we traveled westward, a very familiar alto voice came over the radio. It was Lillie Mae Butt singing with a well-known orchestra from New York. After making a landing in Topeka, Kansas, I decided to go sight-seeing in the town. While walking along the street, I saw a young man and woman, and two children coming towards me. It was no one but Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Kibler and their son and daughter. He told me he was the owner of a 300 acre farm. He also in- formed me that Oliver Wood was the President of the First National Bank in Topeka. I again boarded the plane and started on my way to San Francisco. Our plane landed at the huge airport outside of the city and while waiting for a taxi, I picked up a newspaper and saw that the Cleveland Indians had won the World Series. I read a little farther and was very surprised to see that Ernest Striker was their star First Baseman. I Went into town and after such a long trip I decided to drop in at a beauty shop, and after inquiring, I was directed to a very exclusive one, when to my surprise, I found that Peggy Keiter was the manager. I also learned that she was particularly interested in styling children's hair-do's. She asked me to go to a big stage show for an evening's entertainment. We saw a very elaborate show which was written and directed by Grace Zerbe. On Sunday morning it was my privilege to attend church services in a large Cathedral where Lucille Schwartz was the organist. Although extremely weary from my trip, I felt as though I had never spent a more worthwhile portion of my life as this had been, since I now know that each and every one of my classmates was happily engaged in his life work. -LUCILLE SCHWARTZ The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1945 Schoolmates, Faculty, Friends, and Otherwise: The class of 1945, of Sulphur Springs School, City of Sulphur Springs, County of Crawford, State of Ohio, of the United States of America, has gathered together on this solemn and serious occasion, to listen and respond to the last will and testament. Listen then, one and all, while I read the dociiment as duly drawn up and sworn to. Item I: We leave to the teachers the memory of the gruesome eight fthat's usb who, after four years under their leadership, have learned nothing. Item II: To the Juniors we leave the right to duly manage the school's social af- fairs as best they can. Here's hoping you do a good job. Item III: Sophomores-we leave to you the responsibilities in your forthcoming year, of the banquet and your first play, which are really a lot more fun than they sound. Item IV: To the Freshmen we leave the fond hope that you too may some day graduate. We now bequeath our most prized personal property: Oliver Wood bequeaths his list of broken hearts and book of phone numbers to his brother, Alfred. fNothing like keeping it in the family.J Lillie Mae Butts bequeaths her brown hair and eyes to Marcelle Wood. Kermit Kibler grants to Willard Light the ability to stay awake longer with less hours of sleep than anyone else in the school. Grace Zerbe leaves the griefs and worries, along with the editorship of the Flashes to Vera Light. Ernest Striker bequeaths to anyone who is capable, his position as first baseman on the baseball team. Ernie now has his eye on the big league. Peggy Keiter bequeaths her place at the head ofthe band to Inez Kennedy. Hap- py majoretting, Inez. Donald Schnarrenberger, after trying to decide which of his beloved possessions to bequeath, decided to leave his ability to stay small to Donald Knappenberger. Lucille Schwartz leaves her ability to get along with the teachers to Donald Schimpfg also a bottle of nerve tonic to the teachers. The four senior girls leave to the A Cappella Choir the memory of four alto voices. The four senior boys leave their four years of diligent Work to the F. F. A.-now you're really gon'na see some farming. We do hereby, in fun and frolick, declare this will and testament closed, signed, and sealed on this twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and forty-five. ---PEGGY KEITER Baccalaureate Services Processional, Pomp and Circumstancen ....... ......... b y Elgar Vera Light Invocation ............ ................ ........

Out of the ten games scheduled for the past year, we played seven during the season and three in the tournament. Out of the ten games, we were victorious in six. With three of the boys back, Coach Dennis added two new boys to make up the varsity. The boys all did well and improved considerably during the year. Coming to the tournament, we drew a by in which we played Mt. Zion. Carrying a rabbit's foot for luck, we won the game 50-24. The next night was the thriller of the year. Lykens who had only lost one game through the season was played by the Sulphur boys. It was a very close game and in a three minute over-time, Lykens was victorious, winning by one point, 41-40. Losing this game kept us from going to the district. The last game of the season was played against North Robinson. Our team seems to like the score 41-40 for they lost to Robinson by the same score as they had lost to Lykens in the previous game. However, we did place fourth in the county and received a basketball as a reward. With this ball the boys hope to come back next year, and not only be County Champs, but District Champs as well. Good Luck, Boys! To the referees we give our humble thanks for doing such a wonderful job in maintaining good clean playing. THE SQUAD DONALD PFLEIDERER fGun Powderb is a new comer on our team. He played the position of forward and proved to be one of the main cogs out of the five. During the ten games he stacked up a total of 82 points. HERBERT LIGHT Cjust Herbj was the other cog on the forward end. Herb was our high point man through the season. Having one year of experience, we found he could come through with points when things looked very bad for us. His total was 127 points. DONALD KNAPPENBERGER QStretchJ was a veteran of last year. Everyone come to the conclusion he could play very good ball when his mind wasn't on the bleachers. However, he did manage to rank up 88 points to his credit. RICHARD AUCK fDickJ is also an old member of the team. Dick and Kenney proved to the rest of the team that they could bring the ball to them. His scoring of 20 points wasn't high, but neither was his opponents. KENNETH SHEALY CKenneyJ was the other new comer to the team. Kenney showed his ability as a guard and could play forward when he was needed. His height was a great help in the defensive end. His points amounted to 16. KERMIT KIBLER CK1bbieD, the spark plug of the Reserve, was also a substitute for the varsity. Kermit's graduation will be a big loss to the squad. IVAN ULMER CElmerD is an all around man playing forward or guard. He always did his best if we were winning or losing. 1 BASKETBALL Back Row: Arthur Frost, Raymonld Cooper, Lisle Yaussey, Ernest Striker, Ned Baird.

Four schools, Lykens, Chatfield, Whetstone, and Sulphur Springs, were entered in the tournament. When the points were counted Sulphur Springs won with the highest number of points. The team was composed of Doyle Striker, Donald Schimpf, Raymond Cooper, Ernest Striker, Richard Auck, and Kenneth Shealy. The winners of indi- vidual classes from Sulphur Springs were Ccopcr, Auck, and Shealy. We wish the boys good litck and hope they bring back the trophy again next year.

Egg A ACTIVITIES Junior - Senior Banquet '4 i On April 23, the Juniors received their 35 guests at the Harding Hotel in Marion for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. We were all seated at three large tables. Each was decorated with a large ship filled with colorful fiowers. At each plate was a package of live-savers tied to confetti which was strung to the ship in the center. The girls in their pastel formals and the boys with their new suits made a very picturesque scene. During the three course meal, which was served by colored wait- resses and waiters, the program took place with Herbert Light as the very able toast- master. He introduced first Kermit Kibler who responded to Herbert's Ports of Call. After KermLt's response came a short talk on The Building of the Ship by Mr. Dennis. Next were the three trumpeteers, Donald Schimpf, Donald Shawk, and Ivan Ulmer, who played two selections. VVith a remark which made Knappenbergefs face turn from white to pink, Herbert introduced Donald Knappenberger who was to give the speech called Barnacles. However, at this point, we were all stunned by the great news that the war in Germany was over fthe man forgot to mention that the report was unconiirmedl, so Knappenberger just sat down with the statement that alter that, we wouldn't care to hear what he had to say. Somehow the rest of the program continued with Ruth Geissman, Marcelle Wood, and Vera Light singing Bell Bottom Trousers, accompanied by Miss Spreng. Then the Seniors read their Will, History, and Prophecy mostly in a joking manner but interesting. The final number on the program was a two piano number by Kathryn Spreng and Vera Light. Following was a short intermission while the five piece orchestra warmed up, and then we learned that the report we had heard was unconfirmed and merely a rumor. Needless to say, we were disillusioned but this was soon forgotten when the orchestra gave out with plenty of wing 'n jive! Dancing occupied the rest of the eve- ning for most people, with some wandering in the halls gazing around the hotel in curiousity. The swell little orchestra added a few novelty numbers and a swell time was had by all! --VERA LIGHT Editor .......... Associate Editor . . . Art Editor ..... Assistant .... Business Manager .

Margaret Carle This year the Flashes got off to a rather bad start, for as ye olde editor looked over the typing situation, she found she was the only typist until the first year students had learned the fundamentals. So-because of the shortage of help, the paper was put out every three weeks instead of two. All in all I think we had a very nice paper and in the school year of 1945-46 Vera Light will take over the worries and inky fingers of the Flashes I wish to thank all of you who helped make the Flashes the success it was. - EDITOR Senior Play, HTl1rougl1 the Keyhole CAST Grandma Tierney . .. ...... ....

Donald Schnarrenberger Jim and Mary Tierney's farm land their father had given them had turned to oil. And because of it, they acquired two new friends, the Van Camps. Archie had appar- rently fallen in love with Mary and Gen with Jim. But Grandma has different ideas about the whole situation, and unknown to her grandchildren, she calls New York to iind out about the Van Camps. In the meantime they all are enjoying themselves at George Allen's party, at which Jim takes Joan, the French maid, and Mary goes with William, the English butler. But they are exposed at the party. William is the son of a Lord and not a butler at all, and Joan is not French-and even less, a maid: she had been in the chorus at Art's Place. But all comes out all right in the end-thanks to Grandma and her ability to hear and see through keyholes. And best of all Mary finds she is in love with William, Jim with Joan and Grandma goes on happily eating. Junior Play, Antics of Andrew CAST Petunia, Andrew's darky cook ...... ....

Things begin to happen when Andrew's uncle arrives for a visit, and Andrew has Willie and Harold pose as his wife and mother-in-law. An- drew's birthday party doesn't go over very well when half of the guests are unable to be present, especially Harold and Willie, who are now Andrew's wife and mother- in-law. Althea is very upset when she hears Andrew is married. Miss Prunella Thorne falls in love with the Dean and the Dean is in love with Harold. The detec- tives straighten out everything in the end and everyone lives happily ever after.
