THE TRAIL 1961 Vol. IX Tecumseh High School New Carlisle, Ohio One of the happiest stops along our high- way: the bus stop at the end of a day of school. For eword The trails of yesterday have changed to modern highways, and this year The Trail will pic- ture for you a series of stops along a very special kind of highway — the highway of learning at a modern high school. Tecumseh High School. There will he signs along this highway of learning to remind us of the many activities of our school year just as there are signs along the roadways. For example, the student section will be introduced by a Men at Work sign to re- mind us of the hours spent studying; a Theater Entrance sign will remind us of the many- activities such as plays and special programs which we enjoy each year. Soon each of us will take a different road into the future, but before we go around that bend, let us take another look at the heavily traveled avenues of the school year 1960-61 at Tecumseh High School.

J. Reynolds in recognition of the more than thirty years he has spent in the teaching pro- fession in our school district. During this time he has helped guide hundreds of students along the road of knowledge in the fields of mathematics and sci- ence. The Board of Education and the Administration Strive for an Even Better School System Lawrence Pflaumer, Executive Head Over 3,000 students in the New Carlisle-Bethel Local School District depend on the decisions of the Board of Edu- cati on and the daily guidance of Mr. Lawrence Pflaumer, the Executive Head. Not only Tecumseh High School, but also six other schools — Olive Branch Junior High, Oscar T. Hawke School, Olive Branch Elementary, Medway Ele- mentary, Donnelsville Elementary, and New Carlisle Ele- mentary— look to them for the securing of new teachers, the planning of new facilities, the buying of needed equipment and the hundreds of other services which they so efficiently render for the largest of all the county's school districts.

The 1961 Class Presents JANUARY THAW A remodeled New England house, legal fine print, and a suspected scandal were the main ingredients of the plot of the senior class play January Thaw. The matinee for the junior high school on November 17 and the evening performance on November 18 were both well-attended. This comedy-drama portrayed the story of Mr. Herbert Gage, a New York writer, his wife. Marge, and their three daughters, who remodel and move into an old New England house. Later the former owners, Jonathan and Mathilda Rockwood. return. The Gages don't want to move from their new home, but, much to their horri- fied surprise, they find that the fine print in their contract also gives the Rockwoods the right to live in the house. During the long and weary winter Mr. and Mrs. Rockwood and their playboy son, Matt, live in one corner while the Gages occupy the rest of the house. The atmosphere inside is as cool as the temperature outside; however, just as the ground begins to thaw as the spring months approach, the dislike between Herbert Gage and Jonathan Rock- wood melts in a moment of crisis.

The success of Tecumseh's 1960-61 basketball squad will be measured by the extent to which squad members carry forward the principles of good sportsmanship, co- operation and discipline that they learned as teammates coached by Tom Martin, former assistant basketball coach at Xenia Central. Despite the team's efforts, they were edged out many times by a few points and finished the season with a 7-11 record.

Noon foul shooting, after-school practices, and many drills enabled the varsity to end with a 2-3 record and the re- serves with a 3-1 record. The fun of meeting people from other schools is the beginning of many a lasting friendship, and who could ever forget the mountains of sandwiches prepared to feed the hungry players after the games are over? A toss-up between Kay Horroeks and Phyllis Copenheler dur - ing a noon game determines which team will have the ball.

Like the motorist along the highway who sometimes makes a turn off the main highway, students are given an opportunity to explore ideas and gain experiences off the main highway of aca- demic learning through their extracurricular organizations. 55 I Student Council Designed to Give Experience in Self -Government SEATED: Janis Armstrong, James Haurk, Barbara Kitchen, Dale Kennedy, Mary Jane Staup, and Sue Studebaker.

This question might very well have been spoken during a student council meeting this year, since almost every meeting begins with problems similar to this one. Along with the Home- coming festivities, student council mem- bers also planned the Christmas dance, Honor Day Banquet, and noontime ac- tivities. This organization is composed of one representative from each homeroom and is guided by Mr. W. J. Reynolds in planning for the welfare' of the students of Tecumseh.

Ancient Rome and Modern Spain Interest Language Clubs Tecumseh's Spanish and Latin Clubs shared similar activities this year. For example, eating authentic foreign dishes and sightseeing through pictures were among the best-remembered events of both language clubs. The Spanish Club had a fiesta featuring authen- tic Spanish and Mexican dishes. After eating, a blind- folded guest broke a pinata filled with candies. Later in the year the Latin Club held their annual Roman banquet, complete with slaves and exotic finger food.

During football season club members worked in the concession stand at Tecumseh Field and sold programs. Dur- ing the basketball season the members operated the concession stand at both the Tecumseh and Olive Branch Junior High games. After two of the home basketball games the club sponsored sock hops. At the pep rallies the Student Boosters enter- tained with clever skits. To instill more spirit during the basketball tournament, a Block T cheering section was organized, and Arrow pins were sold. BOOSTER CLUB OFFICERS: Judy Eben, Treasurer; Roberta Miralia, Secretary'; Marvin Pflaumer, President; Larry Reynolds, Vice-President. No matter what the sport, the Student Booster concession stands are always busy places. 65 Sports, Service and Sadie Hawkins All a Part of the GAA Year G.A.A. BOARD: Kathie Lay ton.

Special awards, too, are given to worthy individual members for bowling, most points, best sport, posture contest, and foul shooting. Since GAA is the only club of this type at Tecumseh. it is very important to any girl interested in athletics. In November, G.A.A. girls sponsored a Sadie Haw- kins Dance . . . Mrs. Nice- waner gave valuable advice throughout the year . . . and during basketball season the junior G.A.A. girls added to the treasury by operating a coat check service for the fans.

To help in the improvement of the football facilities, the Varsitv T sodded the new football field and proudly presented the Tecumseh Athletic Association with a football scoreboard. When Tecumseh Field was opened in the fall of 1961, the scoreboard kept spec- tators posted on time, score, yardline of play, and the team in possession of the ball. Varsity T mem- bers also donate their time to help keep the school's football, track, baseball or other athletic facilities in first-class condition. Medals were awarded by the Varsity T to individuals on lunch-hour intramural championship teams. As a money making project, members sold Tecumseh Arrow decals. All members of the Varsity T must be a recipient of a varsity letter in one of the school's interscholastic sports. Mr. Spitzer is the faculty advisor.

Mix together 100 pounds of white shirts, 10 dozen St. Patrick's Day cookies and 100 dollars worth of dimes. Stir with twelve officers and two advisors. Let jell for nine months and the resulting product is the story of the 1960-61 Y-Teen year. The Y-Teens is a service organization to which any sophomore, junior or senior girl may be- long. During the year each group must com- plete three service projects: one for the school, one for the community and one for the world. Examples of such projects in the past year were the senior collection of white shirts for Dr. Schweitzer, the juniors' Dr. Dooley workday and the sophomores' collecting for the March of Dimes. In the spring the Y-Teen girls held their an- nual Y-Teen Mother-Daughter banquet. The colorful and amusing theme selection was the circus. Officers who made the many Y-Teen projects successful were seniors Janis Armstrong, Mary Jo Stanley, Diane Hall and Judy Eben; juniors Kathie Layton, Carole Edwards, Becky Cobaugh, and Janie Studebaker: and sophomores Barbara Kitchen. Dottie Myers. Sonnie Thuma and Cindy Herman. All three Y-Teen groups were joint- ly sponsored by Miss Barbara Miller and Miss Nancy Virts. Scrubbing, raking, and waxing for the Dr. Dooley workday were Kathie Layton, Ethel McKinney, Judi Jones and Georgialee Jackson. Sophomore clowns at the Mother-Daughter ban- quet make a wild turn in the tricycle race. Drama Club officers were Scott Laidig, Vice-President; Mary Lou Harmon, Secretary; Hugh Wallace, Treasurer; and Linda Myers, President. QUIET, PLEASE Ends Busy Year for Drama Club Drama Club members were very busy in 1960-61. Their projects included sell- ing tickets to class plavs. serving as ushers, helping make-up crews, and providing properties for dramatic productions at Te- cumseh. In addition, the club produc ed a one-act play entitled Quiet, Please, the story of two feuding Ozark Mountain brothers. The cast of this play included Larry Reyn- olds and Ronnie Phipps as the brothers. Other members of the cast were Sue Stude- baker. Daryl Woodard. Doris Foster. Bar- bara Wolter. Judy Spence. ABOVE: Members of the Christian Society try to persuade two brothers to speak to each other after years of feuding. BELOW: Suspicious looks fly back and forth between Jeff and Judd. BELOW: An unexpected guest, Catherine, eventually brings about a temporary reconciliation between the two brothers. During the year, Mr. Davies, of Ohio Edison, demonstrated the effect of various light bulbs on colored fabrics at a Home Economics Club meeting. 1,350 what?? 1,350 cookies were baked by the Home Ec. Department for College Night refreshments. Needles and thread are the order of the day when the home ec girls clean and repair the football and bas- ketball uniforms and practice jerseys. This job is just one of the many performed in service to the school by this organization. Almost every girl in the department belongs to this club, which was primarily organized to promote in- terest in the field of home economics. The Home Eco- nomics Club is a charitable organization as well as social. This year the girls took toys which they made themselves plus candy and fruit to Shawen Acres Chil- dren's Home. The club sold Christmas cards and re- ceived a silver tea and coffee service for selling 120 boxes. The members also planned a tea for their mothers, teachers, and themselves.

Among those programs presented were the musical selections at the Thanksgiving chapel, the Christmas concert. Easter cantata, and spring concert. The only non- musical event sponsored by the choir was the annual Valen- tine's Day dance, which was, once more, one of the most successful dances of the year. The choir is directed by Mr. John Sipe.

The Tecumseh High School Band had one of its most active years in 1960 and 1961. It all began in August when the band first met at camp. Not only did the band give excellent performances for the foot- ball season, but they also continued to be active throughout the year. Their long practices proved worthwhile when they received a superior rating at the district band contest and went on to the state contest where they earned an excellent rating. In addition to these activities, the band entertained at the Christmas Concert and at a joint concert with the Defiance Band in the Spring.

Commencement Held Evening of June 1 Seniors excitedly prepare for their final moments of their high school career. The long march to Tecumseh Field begins for the 119 graduating seniors. MmB MKrasSCTE Commencemen t-1 961 At the commencement exercises, Dick Hutchinson was honored as the valedictorian and Joanne Whitacre was honored as the salutatorian of the Class of 1961. Hugh Wallace received the coveted citizenship award. The members of the Class of 1961 were graduated at the first outdoor commencement held at Tecumseh Field. Cloudy skies brought brief moments of anxiety to commencement participants, but no rain fell to mar the exercises. Final goodbyes are said before seniors depart. John Smart. Class President, presented money for a projector fund on behalf of the class. The advertising staff included John Smart, Marvin Pflaumer and Steve Neff. Not pictured: Joanne Whitacre. By End of Year, Headlines and Deadlines Are Familiar to Annual Staff The end of the road in producing the annual comes for staff members in June after commencement pic- tures have been taken to complete the book. By this time an annual staff member has learned a number of printing terms and techniques and has become very familiar with the problem of meeting deadlines. The staff of seniors selected in the fall of 1960 managed to meet all copy shipments — barely — and to cope with many problems — breathlessly — and finally waited — eagerly — for the completed books to arrive in August. TOP: Production editors Ethel McKinney and Janis Armstrong talk over a copy problem with Mrs. Upman, advisor to the staff. BOTTOM: The layout and typing of a page are discussed by Carolyn Taylor, Sherrie Frick and Marilyn Bezona. Photographers Dick Hutchinson and Terry Johnson talk over their latest shots with Barbara Wolter, Hugh Wallace and Scott Laidig. ADVERTISING Stop !
