Active students, parents, and teachers help support Sycamore in competitive games. 7 Tired trees bend in the breeze and shiver in the cold. The green leaves quiver silently and fade to orange and gold. They dry up, flutter to the ground, and scamper fast away. The sun ducks down behind the cloud to end another day. Tall grasses sigh and waters ripple; the sun’s red glow is gone. The moon sails high in blackened sky to wait until the dawn. Bright diamonds sparkle up above; the chill winds slice the air. The earth has fallen fast asleep, asleep without a care. ... Elena Innis CHEERY VOICES AND SUNNY SMILES CHARACTERIZE THESE STUDENTS' DAILY WALK 8 TO SYCAMORE 9 Students around Sycamore see many strange sights as they travel through the halls. They may see such things as a boy falling over a trash cart, which is standing in the hall after school when the janitor is cleaning classrooms, a bulging trophy case, or a bulletin board that contains the latest items of interest on coming events at the school, scholarships, or college information. AS STUDENTS ARRIVE AND LEAVE SYCAMORE VARIED “Good morning!” Students enter doors with cheerful attitude to begin day. Bob Clark seems to Ire having difficulty making his way through hall. 10 As bell sounds at 2:45, students rush for buses leaving circle. Trophy case holds many hard won awards, including this year’s football trophy. SIGHTS ARE SEEN. New bulletin board always has interesting pictures and notices. L ft i' ■ ■ f ; � u Un - r £r't( Li if ti Charlene Miller and Don Crumb take a break from school and homework. This scene is easily recognizable because it portrays long, cold winter of ’61. Abundance of snow provided for gay hours of ice skating and sled- riding. Atmosphere of Homecoming Dance is one of swirling gaiety and romance. 12 FRIENDLY SCENES PROVE THAT WORK AND PLAY CAN BE MIXED WITH GOOD RE9ULT8. Romeos of Sycamore, Boh Clark, Wayne Goiter, and Charles Yeager, have balcony scene switched; but Shir- ley Grooms and Janet Rasch do not seem to mind. The ability to share laughter and fun, as well as work, is the basic foundation of Sycamore’s united student body. Whether it is an extracur- ricular activity or hard work, everyone is willing to cooperate and do his share. Every student realizes the education he receives will determine his success in life, and the friends he makes will go through life with him. These features combined make Sycamore a friendly, well liked school. 13 It is a suspenseful moment when players rebound for ball. I Eager students come to cheer Sycamore’s team to victory. EXCITEMENT HITS NEW HIGH AS Enthusiastic cheerleaders lead crowds at basketball games. 14 W Jay Bonham and Ron Kennedy shake hands after a long, challenging tennis match. Jill Garbutt cheers Jerry Walker, who carries ball; and Tom Stanley, tackle, while Sycamore’s team is in action. AVIATOR8 PUSH AHEAD Poor Tom Kennedy looks with won- der at his stack of books and ponders on how to get them home. 8TUDIES Eager-beaver librarians demonstrate chaos in library stacks. ARE MAJOR CONCERN OF STUDENT BODY. 17 Joan Brewster, Sidney Branch, and Sue Lamb ex- amine Steven Ferguson’s hearse which is a unique addition to our parking lot. Favorite daughters of Sycamore, Rose Miller and Sue Smith, discuss favorite sons of election. UNUSUAL PHENOMENONA Believing that Mr. Ross opposed their choice candidate, anonymous students decorated Mr. Ross’ room in favor of Mr. Nixon. 18 Miss Ham is a perfect picture of a typical teacher in a typical school room. She has only a moment to “snatch” her lunch inbetween classes. Our teachers are busy helping students with academic and extracurricular activities.

Elena I unis Chip Human and his band help students cele- brate winning of our first game at Kick-Off Dance, sponsored by the Cheerleaders. There were many other dances this year, including the Turkey Trot, and the Mount Vernon Stroll. Remember the Sat- urday night it snowed so hard? That was the night of the Lettermen's Club Dance, and our photographer was stranded in the snow. “Swinging” music and “rocking” feet help to make this a Kick-Off Dance to remember. STUDENTS Sharon Mullikin and John Foley accept with pride their prizes for winning a dance contest at the “Can Can” dance which the Y-Teens held in November. Canned goods contributed at this dance helped a needy family have a Thanks- giving dinner. Mike Chandler and Nancy Mizncr proudly pose with their gifts after being crowned King and Queen of Homecoming Dance. January 18, 1952, marked the beginning of Syca- more’s annual Homecoming activities. Because of the smallness of our gymnasium, the Homecoming game and coronation took place in the Sharonville High School gym. Following the game, King and Queen, Ronnie Fussner and Wanda Reed, reigned over a fes- tive dance held in honor of the new tradition. The annual Homecoming is now held during football season and is sponsored by Student Council. Game half time is highlighted by a float parade, consisting of floats made by various organizations, all competing for cash prizes. The ninth annual Homecoming game and dance were held October 14, 1960. This year’s Homecoming game was against our bitter rival, Harrison. The spirit of the game with Harrison is always high because Hr. Acus’ brother is coach for the Wildcats’ football team. Aviators won this year’s game with the score 36 to 12. ENJOY OUR MANY DANCES.

Seen and heard during tour of U. S. CAPITOL: “I wanna call my mommy to come and take me home,” cries George Morgan. His phone booth buddy, Bill Osgood, thoughtfully declares, “I sure am glad I don’t wear those three inch heels,” But Sandy Sommers seems undis- turbed by homesickness or tired feet, as she dreams wistfully. ‘‘Oh, those adorable Annapolis midshipmen!” SENIORS FIND WASHINGTON TO BE “Sid” Branch. “London” Paris, and Joan Brewster wonder just how long it will take Sharon Mullikin to “desert” her dessert. Seniors were greatly amazed to sec assassination of President Lincoln so vividly portrayed at NA- TIONAL HISTORICAL WAX MUSEUM. MORE THAN CAPITAL - IT 19 CITY OF DIGNITY AND BEAUTY. Washington, D. C. owes its famous Japanese cherry trees, which grace JEFFERSON MEMORIAL, to the wife of President William Howard Taft. In the marble wall of the memorial, encompassing the commanding figure of Jefferson, our Seniors found carved this inspiring inscription: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal . . These words, plus effect achieved from towering nineteen-foot statue, and the previously gained knowledge of Jefferson, gave each a feeling of profound security. 181 Vinnie Day (Barb Geiser) greets her cousin Cora (Pat Traud) and Mary Skinner (Jill Garbutt), while Clarence Day, Jr., (Bill Lawson) straightens his tie in an effort to impress Mary. SENIOR PLAY, LIFE WITH FATHER, Mother (Barb Geiser) and Harlan (Phil Fox) discuss a party to which Harlan has been invited, while rest of family, Whitney (Dale Findley), Father (Doug “Zeke” Smith), Clarence (Bill Lawson), and John (Tony Dick), and three maids. Nora (Bonnie McNess), Delia (Betty Mason), and Annie (Nancy Backus), listen with interest. Whitney (Dale Findley) diligently recites his catechism, and Doctor Lloyd (Dan Dreycr) listens attentively. Winnie (Barb Geiser) tells her husband Clare (Doug “Zeke” Smith), “Oh, Clare, what a lovely ring! Now that I have this, you needn’t buy me any more rings. What I’d really like now is a nice diamond necklace!” 18 OUTSTANDING SUCCESS. Margaret, the cook (Myrna Horton) calms frightened Annie (Nancy Backus) when Father (Doug “Zeke” Smith) screams at his newspaper, “I know you’re a nincompoop, and I strongly suspect you of being a scalawag!” “Life with Father” proves that life with father is never dull. It is the hilarious story of a typical family in the 1890’s that has four boys, neighbors, and many rela- tives. The other members of the cast not shown in pictures on these pages are Rose Miller, Maggie; George Morgan, Doctor Hum- phries; and Ralph Harris, Doctor Sommers. Two seventh grade boys played the part of Harlan Day, one each night. Rob Mosby took the part on Friday night, and Phil Fox was the actor Saturday night. The play was presented on April 14 and 15. “Life with Father” was under the capable direction of Mr. Perry and stage management of Miss Mundell. The play was a huge success both financially and artistically. £imt 183 ENCHANTMENT SPREADS Linda Brumley and Alan Siebe are “all smiles” after being elected Prom Queen and King. The King and Queen are elected by Juniors and Seniors the day of the prom. Anyone can submit his picture or his friends picture for the candidacy. The pictures are mounted on a board and displayed in the cafeteria. Excitement and curiosity are high during prom day until King and Queen are announced. The King and Queen’s court, consisting of a prince and princess and four attendants, is also elected by the Juniors and Seniors. AS MYSTIC BEAUTY UNFOLDS BEFORE Freshmen get in on the act by volunteering to be waiters and waitresses. Three of the waiters are Ken Alcorn, Steve Curfman, Dave Noltc. This year students dressed as sailor boys and girls. 184 Juniors displayed unusual talents in converting the fieldhouse into an “Aqua Mirage,” which was the theme of the Prom. They had many original and extraordinary ideas. Turquoise, aqua, and sea- foam crepepaper was used for the false ceiling, while angel fish, sword fish, sail fish, flying fish, sea horses, and other sea animals hung from it. Lively colored fish, turtles, sharks and whales were dis- played in the murals. Fish nets and deep sea divers also decorated the walls. An Octopus peering out over top of each basketball basket added a new and unique touch to prom decorations. EVERYONE'S EYES AT JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. PROM COURT Attendants, Ron Robson, Myma Horton, Rick Edwards, and Bctterac Barker; Princess, Jill Garbut; Prince, Rick Brown; King, Alan Siebe; and Queen, Linda Brumley, are thrilled and happy. Many Sycamore teachers attend Junior-Senior Prom. Seated at table arc the head of Music Department. Mrs. Skolos, and her husband; Mr. Walter Denecke, principal, and his wife; Mrs. Robert Morgan, whose husband is head of Industrial Arts Department. BEAUTY IB FOUND EVERYWHERE WHEN 8TUDENT8 Betty Birkemcycr admires seahorses that were used to separate dance floor from tables. The tradition of holding the prom in the fieldhouse was begun in 1957, with the setting in Paris. At that time, the students objected to the prom being held there; but after they saw the beautiful transformation, the tradi- tion of holding the Prom here at school has continued. In 1958 the setting was in the Orient and was given the name of “Japanese Garden.” In 1959 the setting shifted to the tropical is- lands of the South Pacific and had the name “South Seas Paradise”; last year it was also in the south — the deep south of the United States. Last year’s prom was called “Southern Serenade.” This year’s prom was under water, “The Aqua Mirage,” and was held April 21.

The contest was sponsored by the Ladies’ Auxiliary. Vet- erans of Foreign Wars, Post 3744. The topic of the essay was “Law and the Free Citizen.” AWARDS DAY T. J. Wagner, Bonne Riddle, and Eddie Hall reminisce about D.C.T. Convention in Columbus. At this convention, T. J. received a GOLD MEDAL FOR OUT- STANDING ACHIEVEMENT, (carpen- try). Bonne Riddle, GOLD MEDALS in JOB APPLICATION and OUTSTAND- ING ACHIEVEMENT (food service), and Eddie Hall, BRONZE MEDAL FOR EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING. 195 Miss Weber, GAA sponsor, shows the plaque which will list the two outstanding athletes of 1961, Myma Horton and Bev Rummel. Linda Brumley, the outstanding senior member of GAA, seems happy with the results. This is the first year that there have been two winners of this award. APPLIED EFFORT BRINGS HONORS.

Her memories, intentions, and desires are vividly reflected by reader, Barbara Geiser. Dr. Hilmar Krueger, Dean of University College, University of Cincinnati, relates to graduates some startling statistics and infor- mation on college applicants and students. COMMENCEMENT Mixed Choir, composed of underclassmen, vocalize beautifully for graduation. 19« Graduation usherettes, Patsy Westbrook, Nancy Allendorf, and Joanne LaDucer, greet two guests at the Commencement exercises held for the Class of 1961. Ushers not pictured were Penny Domina, Jim Chumly, Dan Poe, Mike Carlisle, and Robert Clark. PARTICIPANTS PERFORM VARIED TASKS. With mixed emotions, parents, teachers, friends and students see the Commencement exercises come to a close. Thus, the happy high school days end for the graduates. “There I am!” says Joyce Wofford as she, Linda Mc- Lemorc, Pat Vanover, and Lela Bach stop to admire their graduating class com- posite, just recently hung on wall outside office door. PRECAUTION AND PREPARATION ACCENT Preparation for the greatest moment in their four years of high school takes on varied forms. This fact is proven by activities of Marlene Bobb, Betty Birkcmeycr, Betty Miller, Sue Whitaker, and Carol Vanover. 200 Let it Rain! Let it Rain! Let it Rain! Who cares? Certainly not Betty Dye or Marty Arbic. They’re prepared to meet a change in the weather. Carolyn Weidig — SALUTATORIAN GRADUATION NIGHT. CLASS COLORS Green and White CLASS MOTTO “We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us.” “Scoot down! I want to see myself,” says Buddy Winesett. “You know, this blasted tassel won’t stay out of my eyes,” complains Richard Baas, while Otto Saer innocently inquires, “Do you think I’m squared?” 201 And now the ads we gladly show. To these stores we all should go. For their fine products, courtesy, too. We want to thank them all, don't you? Congratulations to the . . .

Our thanks to everyone! 247 At Senior High Athletic Banquet, Jerry Walker re- ceived a trophy for earning greatest number of ath- letic points. He set new record with 4,357 points. Thus, he is the first member of 4,000 point club. Jerry also received OUTSTANDING ATHLETIC trophy awarded by Lcttcrmen’s club. BANQUETS ARE PREVALENT Coach Acus, Mr. Kennedy, president of school board, and Mr. Henke chat with Mr. Charles Studley, head football coach for U.C. Mr. Studley was guest speaker at Senior High Athletic Banquet. 248 A highlight of G.A.A. Mother- Daughter banquet is awarding of trophy to outstanding senior girl. Miss Weber presents trophy for this year's outstanding girl to Linda Brumley. The girl is se- lected by the members of G.A.A. by a secret ballot vote. DURING LAST The speaker. Miss Shirley Linnie, “Spivey,” for G.A.A. Banquet delivers an inspiring message to girls and their mothers. She is the past president of U.C. Women’s Athletic Association. MONTHS OF YEAR. Elsie Wardell takes stance of baseball pitcher as she pantomimes a baseball game as part of program at Mother-Daughter Banquet. 249 “Work - - - Work - - - Work, our labor never flags; But of all who live, we are the ones by whom this work can best be done.” This statement is significantly proven by Debbie Jamison's creative headlines and Vivian Hanson’s appealing advertising letters. Their work has greatly enriched literary as well as financial status of SYCAMORE LOG. “What was your last position?” asked Mr. Schriever, at a mock inter- view for Mr. Maylebcn’s Business English class. Phil Bryan confidently replied, “When I was a lad, I served a term as office boy to attorneys’ firm. I cleaned the windows, I swept the floors, and I polished up the handles on the big front door.” HIGH SCHOOL DAYS . . . SOON TO END BUT LIFE BEFORE “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,” quotes English teacher, Miss Higdon. “To err is human, to forgive divine,” counter-quotes Alan Siebc. 250 . . and this is our new girls’ dor- mitory,” states Paul Manuel, repre- sentative of Miami University and graduate of Sycamore. Betterae Barker seems keenly interested. Ray Breyley ponders picture with deep thought, while Bill Bruner ques- tions, ‘‘Where do I sign up?” FOR SENIORS. THEM LIES . . . GREAT ADVENTURE. Barb Barnes and Miss Ham lock Rose Miller in stocks at D.X. Ranch Ghost Town. Rose was convicted of having a wonderful time and is now being punished. In previous years the annual Quill and Scroll initiation dinner was held at the Golden Lamb Hotel in Lebanon; this year, it was held at the D.X. Ranch, near Amelia. The atmosphere of the D.X. Ranch dining room is one of the Old West. Upon arriving at the restaurant, everyone spent the first hour ex- amining the walls to see all the strange and interesting replicas of the Old West. To complete the mood of olden times, after dinner the members visited the Ghost Town. The Ghost Town contains a jail, salloon, laundry, barber shop, opera house, and many other buildings typical of a pioneer town. The “Keyhole” members were particu- larly interested in the “Daily Ga- zette” Office. The town was eerie and mysterious in the dark. ANNUAL QUILL AND QCROLL Nancy Backus pumps water into the old watering trough for Ruth Trainor, who washes her hair, and Colleen Gacb, who gets cleaned up, after an evening of fun. “Hope you make it home,” yells our photographer, Dale Tucker, to Sallie Raymond and Anna Wolke as he cranks their “good” old car. Dale came to the rescue of our young damsels in distress. Miss Ham and Mr. Buster display cake given to them by “Log” and “Keyhole” staffs. This cake was an expression of appreciation and gratitude by members of staffs for all of the help and interest the ad- visers have shown. DINNER HELD AT D. X. RANCH FOR FIRST TIME. The members who attended annual Quill and Scroll dinner are (STANDING) Nancy Backus, Sallie Raymond, Anna Wolke. Ruth Trainor, Miss Ham, (SITTING) Mr. Buster, Rose Miller, Barbara Barnes, Colleen Gaeb, Kay Wells, Sharron Gilliam. The members laugh over the large piece of steak Mr. Buster is trying to devour. 253 Our “Logs” have grown in size over the years; with the first one, in 1926, having 38 pages and the 1961 “Log” having 268 pages. The growth of the annual depends on the money-making projects and selling of adver- tisements. The “Log” staff sponsored many money-making projects this year. They sold do- nuts, washed cars, and sold bake goods, to name a few. This was in addition to selling advertising and having patrons. The contents of the “Log” have also changed, along with its size. More pictures of the special events are used, individual pic- tures of each student are por- trayed, and clubs are given recognition. Connie Ferris and Judy Jacobs look at the first “Log,” published in 1926. They arc astounded at the difference in size and quality of the books, as they com- pare a 1961 edition with the first publication. MANY NEW AND UP-TO-DATE THINGS Barb Barnes gazes with wonder, and Vivian Hanson pulls her hair as everyone “comes run- ning” to buy donuts at the same time. Selling donuts was a new money-making venture for THE 1961 LOG. 254 “I ‘go wild’ over these new com- pact cars once I get into them,” ex- claims George Morgan; and as you can see, small foreign cars were not made for All-American boys like George. “Knee ticklers” and bows in the hair were new fashions in the fall of 1960. Elaine Traylor, Barb Fiedler, Myrna Horton, Lynn Gaeb, and Sharon Stengel let their knees show in the fashion of the year. Elaine and Myrna also display popular fad of wearing bows in their hair. Clarence Pugh, Sterling Stamper, and Charles Turner study the class rings they will order before school is dismissed for sum- mer. This year it was decided that Sophomores should order their rings in the spring; so that they will receive them at beginning of their junior year. Mr. Claude Tricot, a visitor to Sycamore from France, demonstrates Gregg Shorthand in French to Vivian Hanson and Sharon Mulli- kin. Gregg Shorthand can be written in many other languages besides English. THINGS SUCH AS Carla Derrickson and Janell Scott “get a bang” out of working with the “monster,” a calculating-listing machine brought out by the Underwood Company for demonstration of its “magic” brain. Two new students, a pink haired doll, Eloise, and blue eared bunny, “Mr. Ernie,” have been admitted to typing class. As typing students enter Room 205, they wonder just what it was they drank. THESE REALLY HAPPEN “Rain, rain, go away; come again some other day!” exclaim Sharon Mullikin, Sue Whitaker, Chris Op- pen, and Pat Traud, members of the Bonnie Las- sies, at Xavier-Ohio U. football game. AT SYCAMORE. That time of year rolls around once more for Mr. Seaman, princi- pal of Junior High. Mrs. Curfman, his secretary, had a surprise birthday cake for him. Mr. O’Connor and Mr. Matthews con- gratulate him on this eventful day. 257 Elena Innis is often seen knocking on doors to interrupt classes and call students for pictures. She is assisting the ’61 Log workers in order to gain experience for next year. Knocking on doors is just one of many tedious jobs she successfully carried out. UNUSUAL EVENTS ARE Many new, different, and interesting things happened at Sycamore this year. The adult sewing classes were an experiment which turned out a huge success; Juniors are being “broken-in” this year for next year’s Log staff, a representative for Sycamore and the Northeastern section of Greater Cincinnati and Y-Teens was sent to Denver, Colorado, to attend the National YWCA Con- vention, and many other things took place. Connie Stradtman, president of Y-Teens, wishes Gayle Hare good luck on her trip. Gayle won honor of being sent to Denver, Colorado, for one week to represent Northeastern section of Greater Cincinnati at a YWCA National Conference. 258 Mrs. Gray watches Mrs. Schnierle as Miss Brcnncmann instructs her on how to overstitch the jacket. Miss Brennemann teaches two adult sewing classes, each one night a week. The adult classes were an innovation this year. SPECIALITY AT SYCAMORE. Bctterae Barker sighs, “At last!” as she can finally sit down and kick off her shoes. Many such sighs of relief were heard on Dress-up Day, sponsored by Student Council on Awards Day, when nearly all the girls wore heels. Dan Dreyer, Rob Clark, and Ron Kennedy all de- serve a vote of thanks for shooting pictures for 61 LOG. Bob and Dan shot many advertising pictures. Bob, as head of S.H.S.P.A., took many candid shots at school. Ron snapped many pictures at school and most of the pictures used in the Washington section. 259 “My, Rod, what a long beard you have!” says Ellen Caraway (Pat Traud), to Rod Smith (Bill Law- son). It is obvious that Ellen’s sis- ter, Donna (Nancy Backus), has a hand in disturbing the quiet weekend. “Someone forgot her nylons!” shouts Mr. Caraway (Uwe Ru- dolf). Pat Traud has no idea how those nylons got into the bath- room. ANOTHER OPENING OF ANOTHER SHOW! There is no telling what an actress must do in a play produced at Sycamore. Here Nancy Backus tries to put her foot behind her neck. The Show Must Go On! 260 Mr. Buster, talented teacher, writer of plays, and man of letters, ponders the merits of one of his poetic passages in his first produced play, “The Quiet Weekend.” HARD WORK PRODUCES PLAYS AT SYCAMORE. Miss Mundcll, caught in an “aftcr-thc-play” mood, visibly demonstrates the feeling of all those who work on any of the plays which she directs. On May 13, the play “The Quiet Weekend,” was presented for the first time, on the Sycamore stage. The play was a benefit for the two high school publications, the SYCAMORE LOG and the KEYHOLE. Robert Buster, high school his- tory teacher, wrote this amusing story of a family with three teenage daughters. The play was directed by Miss Mundell, and her student director was Gail Bakie. The cast was: Mr. Caraway Mrs. Caraway Ellen Caraway Cheryl Caraway Donna Caraway Rod Smith Dan Smith Uwe Rudolf Barbara Geiser Pat Traud Jill Garbutt Nancy Backus Bill Lawson Mike Carlisle The first record of Senior Field Day known is 1946. A record of the winning class of the annual event is engraved on a plaque, which is displayed in the hall near the trophy case. This year the Sophomore class won Senior Field Day by one third of a point breaking the Juniors’ three-year winning streak. The day of May 16 dawned bright and clear, a change from the usual rainy weather. The an- nual Senior Field Day held on the school’s foot- ball and baseball fields was a roaring success. Jim Ashcraft keeps Pat Simons company as she and Barb Gciser act as scorekeepers. Alan Siebe turns in results from shot put. Danny Poe, Junior, clears a high jump at 4 ft., 8 in., while Seniors, Jim Luke and Richard Pugh, look on. QENIOR FIELD DAY George Morgan fires pistol which will start Girls’ 75-yard Dash. The girls participating in this race are Judy Lamb. Jo Ann French, Donna Gunter, Sonia Anderson, and Judy Bailey. The Ford Foundation is fi- nancing a program to encourage married women with B.S. degrees, but lacking the required educa- tion courses, to complete their training and obtain teaching cer- tificates. They go to school half a day and do practice teaching under a master teacher the first year. The second year, they teach half a day with pay and go to school half a day. They then have the neces- sary qualifications to become certified. Mrs. Garbutt is doing her work with Miami University. Mr. Schriever has been her master teacher at Sycamore. During the coming school year, Mrs. Garbutt will teach math in the junior high half a day, while she completes her course requirements at the Miami Extension Center in Nor- wood. Richard Pugh, a member of the track squad for four years, proudly holds the last of nine trophies the class of 1961 track members helped to win during their four years at Sycamore High School. The senior track members are John Foley, Neil Strawser, Jerry Walker, Alan Siebe, Rick Brown, Richard Pugh, Stu Huson, Dick Kraus, George Morgan, and Bob An- derson. 1957- 58 1st Hamilton County 1958- 59 1st Hamilton County, 1st District Track Meet, 1st Hamilton County Junior Varsity, 2nd Maricmont Division 4 1959- 60 1st Hamilton County, 1st K.O.C.

Mr. Miller, Director of the Cincinnati Library, presents Jay with an award for having the best home library. Linda Brumley, known as “Louie,” student of the month for April is involved in just one of her many activities: she is working on transcribing machine in office practice class. Cheryl Simpkins, “Simp,” chosen for month of January, pauses to sit on raiilng outside gym after straining and exciting game of basketball. QTUDENT OF MONTH. 0. U. WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHT At the beginning of 1961, the Student Council de- cided to choose a “Student of the Month.” The teach- ers were asked to nominate students they believed to be worthy of this honor. The Student Council then voted on the selected students. These guys and gals are honor students and leaders in extra-curricular activities around Sycamore. Any Senior High student with honor grades and enthusiasm is eligible for nomination. 264 Ron Kennedy, voted student of the month for February, is often seen playing tennis after school. SCHOOL YEAR. Jill Garbutt, March student of the month, works in Senior High Office two periods every day and is many times seen mailing important letters for Mrs. Hitch and school executives. Karen Kellum, Donna Barnes, Elena Innis, Donna Reiman, Jeanne Faulkner, Jud Hud- dleston, Chip Dickman and Reed Boatright attended Ohio University Journalism Workshop this summer, June 18—24, for an intensive course on newspaper and yearbook work. Pat Chase is missing from picture. Hattie Daniels (second from left), narrator, gives last minute instructions to girls participating in Spring Fashion Show, presented for P.T.A. The other girls are Donna Herrman. Doris Robbins, and Beckey LaVeck. The girls in Home Economics classes modeled striking outfits they had made during the year. Marlene Bobb, a member of Shillito’s Teen Fashion Board, poses in an origi- nal suit which she de- signed and made herself, to be judged by fashion editors. Donna Herrman, Caro- lyn Kraemer, Paulette Lowe, and Donnajane LeBath look chic in their fashionalbe suits and separates. 266 HOME ECONOMICS STUDENTS The Home Economics class held a table setting contest for its members. Those students win- ning first, second, third, or fourth prizes are pictured. SEATED: Paulette Lowe, Marcia Clum, Janice Woodruff, Mrs. Schnurrenberger, teacher, and Pam Hay.
