We are learning new values of freedom. To make use of this education in such a way that our government, our church, and our homes are protected from the internal ravages of Naziism is our task. We must think democracy, talk democracy, teach democracy. For every challenge to our political system by a radical in our com- munity, we must secure two votes for a staunch defender of lib- erty. VVe must double our attack, for theirs is one of vicious pro- paganda in these troublesome times. We must renew our religi- ous fervor with a stronger allegiance to our God. We must renew our endeavor to make the ties of home more binding and perman- ent before we become nothing short of Nazi incubators. As American high school students, we should be willing to fight, not with bullets, because this is not declared warfare, but with our best weapon - education. America needs us to overthrow her worst enemy, anti-democratic propaganda. LET'S DO OUR PART. School Memorial Presented by The Senior Class WE PAUSE IN REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE WHO HAD TO GIVE UP THEIR GRADUATION I-'OR UNCLE SAM'S CALL TO DUTY.

BROUSE ROBERT WALTON WAYNE CURLIS President Vice President CLERK FLOYD ADAMS PAUL MINTER We, the Seniors of 1944, Wish to call attention to the diligence and persever- ance of the Board in giving us such an attractive and worthwhile building. We appreciate the opportunities for a broader education made possible by the courses and equipment of this new building, and also the customary and ordinary duties which each member performs faithfully. 'Too little consideration has been given to the fact that through the endeavors of our school board, our school has been able to stay on top through the turmoil ot the past few years, and in every way has cooperated with the State Department of Education in uplifting our standards.

We are glad to be alumni Though being student's been okay. fWe can now approach the faculty In an independent sort ot wayll We'll come back and look things over, To see how they're making out, And to check that our successors Understand what it's all about. We can reminisce of evenings, As the cokes go slowly down, Of the scares we had in high school And the work we got around. We can tell of the bold erasers Hurled completely on the sly, And the sound of rolling marbles Or ot Spitballs whizzing by. We'Il tell the kids of the sixties Of the toibles of their folks, When swing pertained to music, And corn pertained to jokes When gasoline was rationed, When old inflation licked his chops, When bonds and stamps were the things to buy For our brothers and our pops. When F. D. R. was beginning One of his earlier campaigns, When Tojo and Friend Hitler Were the Allies' biggest pains. It'll be great to think back on it When the whole upheaval's through, When all our class is home again And there's a world that's brave and H u ILGW . Perhaps there will be time for a yarn or two On the basketball we'd played When we were back in S. H. S. In a tar-oft, happy day. Won't the next generation marvel llow we ran the old school then, When all the girls were ladies And all the men were men?

I've just returned to Sycamore and to my surprise, found the old town changed a bit. I thought I'd stop at Skinny's for a ham sandwich as I was hungry for some good old coun- try ham. Imagine my surprise when I' found out that Kenneth Ankney was now the proprietor and general manager of the restaurant. As business was slack at that time, he stopped to chew the fat with me. How was life on the deserted isle, Loel? he asked. I answered, It wasn't bad at first but I grew rather tired of the same girls all the time. Every way I turned there was nc one but beautilul native girls. It was awful. f .lust then a big, new, Buick pulled up in fgont of the store and Darrel Kisor walked in. Ankney whispered to me that he was one of the Vice Presidents of the New York Central now and would soon be president of the railroad. Hisor sat down and I could see he was all ecited. Did you hear the news ? he asked. Tom Huffo-d was keeping the only horse in the state of Ohio on his 200 acre farm and just as he was loading the horse onto his truck to take it to the Toledo Zoo, his wife took off in their new helicopter. The helicopter scared the horse and it kicked Tom in the head. The kick cost him 52004.95-S2000 for the horse as it broke its leg and they had to shoot it, and S495 for a new hat, which was spoiled by the kick. By the way, Tom met his wife in Tahiti while he was in the Navy. Speaking of horses, Ankney said as he turned around from wiping some glasses. Did you hear' about our old school mate, Vivian Walton? She is running a dude ranch out West and I guess she is makingla pile of money. It has been rumored that she is about to marry her third husband, an English count who has been staying at her ranch. You remember Iliene Riedel, says Hisor, Well, I saw her on my way through Deunquat from Bucyrus. She stopped at the crossing and put the brake on the baby carriage, so she could hold Junior and Jane back from the train.! y Oh say! exclaimed Ankney, Do you know what I heard about Christofer the other day? Well, I heard that he had married his third wife. I guess she was some rich widow that had lost her husband about a year ago. You knew he was an aircraft designer for Lockheed, didn't you? He designed the new cargo ships that take off by rocket power. Say Arnold, did you hear about Carl Minter being a school teacher says Hisor. No. Where at? .. He teaches over at Melmore says Ankney. He's married, too. Some babe he met in college. Got a couple of boys to help him with the farm work in a couple of years, too. Gosh, look who's coming. Tom I-Iufford, isn't it? asks Arnold. Hi Gang! exclaimed Tom. Just thought I'd stop by for a bottle of orange on my way to the circus. They have one very good act. Charles Atlas II, but I saw it in Marion and the guy is really Claude Montz. His act is mostly strong man and knife throwing but just for good measure, he throws in a little slight of hand. That man has biceps six inches in diameter and you should see those shoulders. Well, I got to be going to catch the first performance. By the way, I saw Helen Kirsch in Cleveland when I bought my hat. She has a big beauty Shoppe with fifteen girls working for her. Gib has been shipping out on the Ggeat Lakes since the war. II? lfa: been working up to a Capfaincy, from a cabin boy. I'Ie's thinking of buying his own line. ..14.. , - . , mga, , , ,FW WW, ,Q-1-g, Wi, S-I-H-I-S Senior Class Prophecy Say, says Ankney, I forgot to tell you I had a radio tlash from Tom Gregg the other night. It seems that he was testing out his new racing plane and ran out of gas on the Milky Way He glided in to a nearby filling station. It turned out to be Adam's Snap-Ouicky Service Station. Rushing to meet me, came a grease-monkey in coveralls. To his surprise it was his sister, who had just changed the oil in their helicopter. They filled him up with gas. She whispered to him that it was still some of that Black-Market stutf, that they had hoarded up during war time. Let's turn on the radio and get a little music, says I'iisor, it's rather dull in here since our new Mayor, Paul Walton, has abolished juke boxes. The voice from the radio sounded familiar and when I asked who was doing the announc- ing Ankney said that Clarence Keller was now anouncing the brand new comedy show starring the Screen Team fwhich really is Mary Louise Blackburn and Edna Gregoryl. They got their start in the radio shows we seniors of 44 had to puton in English class. Another good act is Nancy .Io Curliss and her talking violin. V Speaking ot English Class, I said what is Miss McGinnis doing now? She is in Spain, now, studying Spanish and teaching the little bambinoes to speak Eng- lish. If she isn't careful she will have all the Spaniards speaking English and then there won't be any need to study Spanish, said Ankney. ' I always knew Miss McGinnis would go placesif she listened to the advice our senior class of 44 gave her. By the way, when I was recuperating from my stay on the island I had to make several trips to Columbus to Grant Hospitalfl saw Betty Wagner there, she's a nurse and she will soon be marrying a doctor. Who painted those pictures on the wall, I asked, they show real artistic talent. You'd ought to recognize the paintings as some of the work ot Christofer and Ludwig, said Hisor. They work together as a team but I guess they will split up as the widow doesn't want anybody horning in on Don's time but herself. Ankney said, Did you see that little house with the green shutters just on the east edge oi town? Ruth Dunlap lives there with her husband and children. You won't believe it, but :he was the first one married out ot the Senior Class. I guess she's really happy too. I said, Well that's really a surprise to me. You've told me about everyone but Phyllis Close. What's she doing now? Not long after school was out she left on a trip around the world. She was going to walk all tlxo way and she hasn't been back yet but har letters are still coming to her folks, said Hisor. Well, I guess everybody has become a success in our Senior Class of 44 , I said, and I'm glad because I am proud to be a senior of 44. -15- S-1-H-1-S '44 - - Last Will and Testament We,'THE SENIOR CLASS, of the City of Sycamore, Commonwealth of Ohio, being of sound mind and memory, so make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, in manner and form as follows: Unto our respected superintendent Mr. Shell, we leave a contract with Barnum and Bailey's circus for the advancement of more entertaining assemblies.

Twenty-two Juniors greeted this year with a feeling of really being in the swing of things. Our first aim was to raise enough money to banquet the Seniors. This was done by a very successful magazine campaign and by selling pop at basketball games. We gave our class play, My Heart's In High , which was very well received by the pub- lic and which we enjoyed producing. After the usual much-heated argument we ordered and received our class rings. Our Junior-Senior came out a tie with the Junior girls and Senior boys winning respective- ly a softball and football game. To top off the year we gave our banquet for the Seniors May 5, 1944.

On September 7, 1943, thirty-one Sophomores came to Sycamore High School to be one of the most progressive grades in high school. The vim and vigor of our class has given us many opportunities. The most striking feature of the year was the Sophomore play, Hillbilly Courtship, given before a packed auditorium of curious spectators. We surely showed them what our class could do. Some more factors are brought out by the fact that our Varsity cheerleaders, Jean Gregg, Helen McCormick, and Christina Everhrat, are all Sophomores. Bob Ekleberry and Charles Lamb, two of the first five on the basketball team, are from our class. In the tuornaments at school the boys did their best by being tied for third place while the girls came in second. We have enjoyed two hilarious parties-onz being a hayride.

The school year 1043-44 found twenty-seven boys and 18 girls entering over a new threshold tor another year of learning. The entering of Genevie Giles from the McCutchensville School added one more to our group to share the joys of life and to get a portion of the path on the way to learning. Our group contributed to all causes such as the Red Cross, lnfantile Paralysis Fund, War Fund, T. B. Seals and USO. Twenty-ceven of our pupils have been in the Sycamore School since they started in the first grade. The others came from Eden, Nevada, Melmore, McCutchensville, Holmes Liberty, Lykens, Upper Sandusky, Forest, Carey, and Marseilles. Two, Eddie Doss and'Patricia Walton, have at- tended a school in another state. Eddie attended one in West Virginia and Patricia attended one in Florida.

The measle epedemic surely interrupted our perfect attendance record during the early part ot the school term. The ilu which followed later didn't improve the attendance any. At Christmas all of us took part in the grade operetta Thirty Minutes With Santa Claus. We had a gift exchange and each one also received a box of candy. We've generously contributed to the scrap metal drive, USO, Junior Red Cross, War Fund, TB Seals, and March ot Dimes. Many of us are buying stamps, also, to till Defense Stamp books So tar we have collected 312.00 in Sales Tax Stamps. With this money we are buying books for our library and other equipment to be used in our grade. All in all, we think our grade is doing it's share in upholding the limelight of the Syca- more Villege School. -25..

Four pupils, Barbara Van Horn, Glayds Taylor, Alice Bunn, and Donald Bish, have left our district, while two, Paul Funkhouser and Norman Metzger, have joined us during the school year. This group has again been included in the department plan whereby Mrs. Stose, Mr. Osborn, and Miss Jacoby share in the teaching ot academic subjects to the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. Special emphasis has been placed on rhythmic expression in music and on creative art and handwork. With our country's participation in the war ever increasing in intensity, the group has con- tributed generously to the drives and activities which help to bring ultimate victory. -26- ,-,.,- S-I-H-I-S - Third Grade Row 1 Gene Von Blon, Larry Reed, Ronald Wagner, Donald verliwilson, Bobby Landis, Jimmie Schryer, Charles Sprau. - Row 2 Jean Grady.

We are always glad to have girls and boys move into our community and en roll in our room. Vfe have helped as have other groups with all the calls that Uncle Sam has made through various organizations. . Many of us have entertained the measles and bad colds. Our attendance hasn't been as good as we have wished, but we have tried to work hard. The boys have outnumbered the girls 26 to165 let us say in number but not in activity. Vie have enjoyed our year, and are proud oi our school. Above all we are proud of being young Americans. ..Q7- S-I-H-I-S '44 A-, ,M , ' M wt., . ,,.,t,,. .

During the first two weeks one of our group broke out with the measles while in school, from then on we had a real epidemic of measles which went through the entire school. We decided we had really started something. In November we were given a table that bfonged in our room, so having an extra table, besides our library table we decided to make it a project table, and so have since had a new project each month, in keeping with the season and month. ln November we had a Pilgrim Village project, in December a Christmas scene with old Santa entering a town and bringing gifts. The year seems to be closing and we feel we have learned many interesting things and have lots of fun together. lt seems We are growing in every way, in Knowledge, Stature, and Wisdom -28, Y S -I -H -I -S First Grade .4 g .

Two children, Wanda Bunn and George Mackling withdrew and entered the Tiffin school While Arnot Taylor left for Upper Sandusky. The Second Grade entertained us at a nice Halloween Party. We enjoyed the large lighted Christmas tree and each child also received a small box of candy. The Valentine Box was lots of fun. It has a valentine with a tootsie roll in it for each boy and girl. V Q Each child received a large black pencil as a remembrance on his birthday. 1 llVe had a part in the Christmas Program and the farewell Chapel which was given for Mr. Iader. An epidemic of measles spread through ouschool and spoiled our attendance record. Lois '-'irginia Kaufman was absent ten weeks with rheumatic fever and Robert May suffered an ap- yzndectomy at Mercy Hospital, Tiffin. Because of so much sickness none of the children have perfect attendance records. -29- S-I-H-I-S '44 ' 1' N My Qrchestra Row 1 C. Minter, N. Curlis, P. Close, M. Bell, E. Stever, E. Doss, D. Smith.

During the course of the year more than eight new members joined our group, and at least ten more began preparing them- selves to become future orchestra members. At commencement exercises we lose our three best violin players whom we have so much appreciated during the past tive years, All of our other players will he back next year to as- sist our new violin section which is now being developed. The main highlight of our year was our opportunity to be host to the county high school orchestra which played from our stage. Our group was again well representated in this organ ization. During the year we' were always busy preparing for special programs, some of which were Parent-Teachers meetings, the Farmers Institute, the high school Christmas program, several as- semblies, and graduation exercises. ... 30- S-I -H -I -S Girls Glee Club Rowl H.

Always it was the Girls' Glee Club that was called upon to sing whenever a need arose. This year we appeared before the Parent-Teachers Association, Farmers' Institute, Prince of Peace Contest, county music festival, and graduation exercises. Our group carried the main load in the presentation of the high school operetta.

Tom Hufford, another senior, held down the position of center. He was one of our leading scorers and his rebounding ability made him one of our most valuable players. Kenny Ankney another senior although put out of service in the middle of the season by an operation showed valuable service at forward the first of the year. Don Christofer another senior although not a regular starter saw service at a guard position and was helpful on defense. Claude Montz another substitute and a senior played center and when called upon could be expected to play a good game. Tom Gregg our sixth senior on the team although not a high scorer helped others to score by his playing. Elmer Clarkson, a junior, our first man to be put out of play by an operation, started the first few games as center. Calvin Aurand, another junior, our high point man forward, and longshot artist served us in good stead in many a tight spot. Bob Ekleberry, a sophomore, played forward and showed his dependableness by his smooth ball handling and accurate passing. Charles Lamb, another sophomore, held down a guard position and his defensive play was mainly responsible for the Wildcast teamwork. John Brown, another spophomoref was a substitute forward and could be dependen upon for some excellent play when called upon. Russel Chester, a freshman, played guard and supported the team with his passing and speedy ball handling. BASKETBALL BANQUET The Varsity S sponsored the annual basketball banquet. It was held April 14, in the school cafeteria. The tables were beautifully decorated as well as the interior of the room. The guest speaker was Coach Paul Bricker of Middle Point High school. His team was the representative of Northwestern Ohio in the State Class B finals in 1943. During the season of 1941-42, 1942-43, and 1943-44 his teams were undefeated in regular season play. They have lost but six games in the past seven years exclusive of tournaments. He stressed the value of train- ing, fight, and sportsmanship. - 4 PROGRAM ' Toastmaster-Mr. Burton Goetz Invocation ............................................................................

Rader directed them until a week before the basketball tournament. At that time Charles Shell took over and finished the year. Mr. Rader had been the coach the preceding year. He was a graduate of Ashland College where he earned letters in baseball, basketball, and football. Before coming to Sycamore he had coached the Donnell and Glenwood Junior High Schools in addition to being dean of boys at Findlay. Mr. Shell graduated from Ohio State University. He took no active part in college athletics since all of his college work was done in the summer months except for his freshman year. His eleven years of coaching baseball and basketball were confined to the Wren High school. Oniy one regular, Kenny Adams, remained from the preceding year's basketball quintet. Soon after the season opened Elmer Clarkson was stricken with appendicitis. He was high point man until that time. Later on the appendix jinx took two more of the first team. They were Kenny Ankney and John Brown. Although they were beset by varsity inexperience, the boys gave all they had even to the final second of their last tournament game. With graduation, changing residence, and military service facing the squad, it appears evi- dent that many new faces will be seen on next year's varsity. Next year's freshmen and sopho- more material looks heartening. -44.- . . 'F .T 'S-I-H-I-S The record for the season was 3 victories and 13 defeats. That is a percentage of .198. Vic- tory is sweet but many of the lessons of life to be learned through basketball may be gotten even in defeat. The varsity, also the reserves, wish to thank all those fans who faithfully followed the teams through victory and defeat. They also greatly appreciate the spirit of those who gave their gas and time to help out in transportation. CHEERLEADERS This year three new Varsity cheerleaders were elected, Helen McCormick, Christina Ever- hart and .lean Gregg. To Helen this was a new experience but for Christina and Jean, it was just a step ahead, from Reserve to Varsity. They strutted their stuff in black full skirts and red sweaters with the proud S for Sycamore, and last but not least little red caps. The cheerstwere carefully selected and delivered to the public by a very forceful and live- ly cheering section. Even though gas rationing stopped travel our teams were well supported away from home as well at at home. The year was a fairly successful one even though the hos- pital gathered in a few of our best players. The Reserve was supported by a new group of lively leaders. Bonnie Sue Rader, Mary Katherine Ludwig and Betty Volkmer. They led the Reserve team to their victories. Keep it up kids. VARSITY .... BASKETBALL GAMES SYCAMORE 22-BLOOMVILLE 24 After two weeks of hard practice, our boys opened the season with Bloomville only to be de- feated in an overtime game with a score of 22 to 24. SYCAMORE 27-HOPEWELL LOUDON 53 The Wildcats suffered their second setback of the season by a strong quinete from Seneca County. The Wildcats were out-played during the whole game and came out on the little end of the score 27 to 53. SYCAMORE 17-McCUTCHENSVILLE 18 The next gkame on the list was 'Scutch. The game was a defensive battle all the way with 'Scutch out on top at the end by one point 17 to 18. SYCAMORE 39-LYKENS 26 V The Wilcats broke into the win column by defeating Lykens on the home floor. The boys seem to be a growing team, and by mid season, should give any team in the county. plenty of trouble. 1 -45- R.

SYCAMORE 335- WHARTON 52 A The Wildcats played their first league game at home against a well balanced team from Wharton. From the start the game was a fast and high scoring tilt, but Sycamore was not fast enough and came out on the bottom, 33 to 52. SYCAMORE 22-WASHINGTON 30 Sycamore played a strong Dutchtown squad who was considered a very strong contender for the Crawford County crown. The game was on even terms all the way until the last quarter when they edged ahead to win 30 to 22. ' SYCAMORE 36-EDEN 25 The Wildcats played one of their best games of the season to beat the Elden squad to the tune ot 39 to 25. The spectators saw a fine offensive working from the very beginning. This was supported by fine defensive work by the Wildcats. Both defensively and offensively the team looked better than in former games. D SYCAMORE 26-HARPSTER 42 the Wildcats ventured to the South of the County to play Harpster, but came back well tami ed. ..The Crusaders jumped to a quick 14 to 2 lead which couldn't be checked.., After the first quarter the game was played on even terms with Harpsier winning 42 to 26. .
