At least, being seniors, that is our opinion. The leading roles were handled with excel- lent ability. To guide the destiny of our class this year, we elected Don Thomas as president: Dale Dougal, vice-president: Zela Buerkley, secretary: and Roger Kreischer, treasurer. The senior members of the student council, the legislative body of our school, are Dale Dougal, lay Hall, Dan Ierome, Ioan Kiggins, Martha Stoops, Don Thomas, Marion Phillips, and Bill Seavy. Our class had an outstanding representation on the National Honor Society. Sixteen seniors were elected on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and service-Marilyn Baxter, Mildred Beemer, Virginia Brokaw, Rogers Fraylick, Patricia Imler, Ioyce Johnson, Ioan Kig- gins, Peg Kintz, Carolyn Lehman, Rosalie Mavis, Betty Lou Miller, David Perry, Marilyn Pol- ing, Wayne Sidle, Benjamin Waitman, and David Zeigler. Many seniors worked outside of school hours, but our participation in extracurricular ac- tivities has been excellent. Rogers Fravlick is president of Hi-Y: Carolyn Lehman, president of G.A.A.: Pat Benford, of Y-Teens: Bill Seavy, of F.F.A. and Student Council: Don Thomas, of V-Club: Martha Davies, of F.H.A.: Iay Hall, of F.T.A.: Betty Lou Miller, of the National Honor Society: and Roger Cobb and Pat Benford, co-chairmen of the Rendezvous Committee. Other officers of these clubs and organizations are composed of many senior students. Our class had an excellent representation in the sports field. The senior girls were outstand- ing in their intramural play and won the All-Star girls' championship trophy. The F.F.A. led the boys' intramural play in both the league and tournament. Dale Dougal, Glen Ienkins. Robert Laing, David Perry, Bill Seavy, Bill Purmort, Sam Tin- dall, Roger Vetter, Marion Phillips, and Don Thomas received letters in football this year. Many seniors with musical ability are active in chorus and band. Roger Cobb was elected president of the chorus, and Iay Hall is president of the band. Five girls were chosen to represent our class and school in the D.A.R. contest. Those who took the test were Peg Kintz, Rosalie Mavis, Virginia Brokaw, Marilyn Poling, and Pat Imler. As our high school drama draws to a close, the drama of life unfolds before us. We have had our various roles in the high school drama. but the roles which await us depend only on our own initiative and ambition. 1948 THE EXCALIBUR 19 1:5 'Al ,pn-'Q' rc-EL I?

Barrientos Kear Scarpella Brockert Barrientos CLASS HISTORY One hundred and eighty-four of us entered high school in September, 1945. We were very frightened and the upper classmen took every advantage possible. They were a cruel lot. We soon learned not to ask for their help or advice for it was always wrong. For future fresh- men we would like to warn that Room 210 is not in the basement. At parties We were treated rather shabbily, too-especially when it came to food. Usually there wasn't much left when We got a chance to eat. We soon organized and elected the following class officers: Howard Henney, president: lim Scarpella, vice president: Gerry Laing, secretary: and Iuanita Thatcher, treasurer. We were well represented in all school sports, clubs, and organizations. Finally we became sophomores. This, to us, seemed quite an accomplishment. We elected Nolan Hudson, president: Bill Kear, vice president: Gerry Laing, secretary: and Marilyn Kin- sey, treasurer. Now we are juniors and very proud of it. Our class has dwindled to a mere 123. Our class officers are: lim Scarpella, president: Bill Kear, vice president: Iunior Barrientos, secretary: and Delores Brockert, treasurer. Those who belong to the Student Council are: Iim Scarpella, Io Graber, Nolan Hudson, lean Becker, Dick Edwards, Paul Rhodes, and Beverly Speith. We have been very active in the Hi-Y, G.A.A., and Y-Teens. Of course we have some who are wiser than others. They made the National Honor So- ciety. They are: Wanda Johns, Melva Doxtater, Gloria Carlo, Mary Ann Hennerman, and Iuanita Thatcher. Our football squad was made up of big husky fellows. They were: Clarence Agler, Iunior Barrientos, Dick Edwards, Byron Foreman, Iohn Gunsett, Donald Iohns, Bill Kear, Bob Marks, Gene Mathews, Darrell Phillips, Iim Scarpella, and Wayne Baxter, manager. We also have six very good basketball players, who are: Iunior Barrientos, Bob Kampf, Bill Kear, Bob Marks, lim Scarpella, and Bill Stripe. Last but not least are our V-Club members, who have worked hard to earn their V's. We are very proud of them. Some of them are: Clarence Agler, Iunior Barrientos, Dick Edwards, Iohn Gunsett, Gene Mathews, lim Scarpella, Darrell Phillips, and Bill Stripe. The great ambition of the juniors seems to be to graduate. We sadly realize that three fourths of our high school life is over, and yet we look eagerly toward our senior year, when we expect many events of importance to occur.

L ou Stabler Palmer Sublcr Sells -Icromc CLASS HISTORY In the year Nineteen Hundred and Forty Six, 145 Freshmen, alias Greenies , entered the doors of Van Wert High School. We wondered about the halls until we finally found our home room. There Mr. Livingslon andMr.Bowen awaited us with outstretched arms. After we had settled down and our hearts had settled back to their former positions, we got around to elect- ing class officers. The outcome was as follows: Frank Hall, President: Clete Conley, Vice Pres- identy Mary Todd, Secretary: and Marie Lesher, Treasurer. The Freshmen who contributed to the football team were: Clete Conley, lack Kintz, Paul Sheibley, Roger Siders, Roger Stuckey, Bob Stemen, Frank Hoffman, Brock Swisher, Pete Ray, and Bill Fellers. The Freshmen who made the basketball team were: Bob Tucker, Roger Stuc- key, Iack Kintz, Dale Wisener, Roger Siders, Richard Welker, Paul Sheibley, Bob Stemen, and Brock Swisher. This team won a trophy for being in the finals. There were many capable rep- resentatives from the Freshmen class in the chorus, band, dance band, G.A.A. and Y-Teens. After one full year of experience we are now Sophomores and once again take up the task of electing class officers. We elected as follows: Duane Ierome, President: Arlene Palmer, Vice President: Donna Sells, Secretary: Betty Lou Stabler, Treasurer. The boys who went out for football were: Roger Stuckey, Bob Stemen, Bob Tucker, Pete Ray, Paul Sheibley, Iack Kintz, Frank Hoffman, Bill Fellers, Ierry Iames, and Frank Hall. The boys who made the basketball team were: Bob Tucker, Roger Stuckey, Paul Sheibley, Duane Ierome, and Iack Kintz. One Sophomore boy, Marvin Brubaker, was chosen as one of the cheer- leaders. Again this year there were many Sophomore students who participated in the various school activities. And now as we come to the end of our second year as high school students, and will soon become Iuniors, we can only say that we hope the remainder of our education at Van Wert High will be as happy and as profitable as the first two have been.

O lga Burgoon Agler - Burgoon - Kinsey - Buerkley CLASS HISTORY One bright September day in the fall of '47 there were one hundred and sixty of us shy greenies who trouped merrily through the doors of old Van Wert High. But we soon found ourselves completely bewildered by the maze of halls and doorways. Finally, however, we became accustomed to the ways of high schol and held an election of class officers. We elected Stanley Agler, president: Iim Buerkley, vice-president: Pat Kinsey, secretary, and Olga Burgoon, treasurer. Freshmen elected to the student council were Betty Anderson, lim Buerkley, Randall Giess- ler, and David Livingston. Boys on the freshman football team were Stanley Agler, Donald Baer, Gene Bagley, Donald Bechtol, Bob Black, Lloyd Brinker, lim Buerkley, Forest Crow, Roger Elston, Iames Grun- den, Dick Hines, Ray Houts, Calvin Iacobs, lim McCleary, Pat McLaughlin, Marion Parsons, Dick Prichard, Tony Scarpella, lim Stabler, Eugene Sunderland, Ned Williman, and Duane Wolford. Bob Thomas and Tom Krick were on the high school team. Our freshman class was represented on the basketball squad by Stanley Agler, Gene Bag- ley, Donald Bechtol, Bob Black, David Livingston, Dick Prichard, lim Ralston, and Tony Scar- pella. It isn't often that a single freshman finds fame so early in his career, but our class is very proud of Bob Thomas who won the lightweight Golden Gloves Championship in Fort Wayne and went on to the Chicago meet. Ioyce Walters was our representative on the G.A.A. Cabinet. This year the freshman girls had their own Y-Teen Club for the first time. One of the social highlights of the year was the mixer sponsored by the freshmen and held in the high school gym. But the months soon rolled away and the old school door closed on a freshman year full of success and fun. Now we are looking eagerly forward to the many more pleasant times we will spend in old Van Wert High. Dave Livingston.

Trailing 6-0 at the half, the Cougars snapped out of it. Tindall led a 66-yard march to score, with Agler making the extra point. Agler then made another six standing up and received a pass from Thomas for the extra point. The next Friday Van Wert did the same thing to Defiance with another 14-6 score. The first T D was made by Agler, running 14 yards without a hand laid on him. The second was a pass from Thomas to Agler, and Tindall rnade the extra point. , The game at Kenton was the first upset of the year for Van Wert. They lost 13-6 to Kenton. It seemed that even having their band along didn't help that night. Scoring touchdowns in all but the final quarter, the Cougars rolled over the Bluffton Pirates 20-0. The Cougars rushed a total of 282 yards to a total of 44 for the Pirates. Don Thomas scored two TD's and Tindall one, with two place- ments. The Van Wert team was on their toes that night, breaking up forma- tions, blocking, and catching Pirate backs for losses. For their fourth victory out of five starts, Van Wert mopped up the Belle- fontaine Club, 26-6. Thomas went one right tackle from the four for the first T D. In the second quarter, Fellers swept around left end to score. Both conversions were blocked. Scoring the next touchdown, Agler took off down the sideline for 48 yards. Kintz hit center for a point and the score was 19-0. After an 80 yard march, Seavy slipped around right from the four, and Kintz went around end from the four for the conversion. The largest crowd of the year saw Coach Srnith's entire team wallop the Wapakoneta Redskins. With a final score of 26-0, Coach Smith cleaned his entire substitute bench during the game. The touchdowns were made by Tin- dall, Agler, Thomas, and Marks. The last T D was made when Marks caught a wild ball deflected by a Cougar lineman, and galloped twenty yards all by himself. Tindall and Seavy made the extra points. ,L . 948 THE EXCALIBUR , .4-45 . C.-v TOP ROW: Coach Smith, Marks, Stemen. Wells, Gunsett. Perry. Kintz, Iohns, Vetter. Purmort, Matthews, Aqler.

Ray, Sheibley, Seavy. Stuckey, Fellers. After putting the game on ice the Cougars found themselves beaten in the last 28 seconds of the game by a long pass from Campbell to Evers. The score was 12-7 when the Dragons added their last seven to win, 14-12. A Van Wert fumble on the 45 yard line set up the pass which won for Lima. Agler slipped between left guard and tackle to score from the five for the first Van Wert T D. The Cougars took the lead when Thomas scored from the one foot line just before the third quarter ended. Both extra point attempts failed. Van Wert lost the lead in the Western Buckeye League and the traveling trophy, both to St. Mary's, when they lost their chance to cinch at least a share of the championship. The ground gaining ability of the Cougars seemed to be completely lost. Blocking was almost forgotten and pass receiver muffed chances for long gains. With the second period just five minutes old, Widner plunged from the one foot line to score. His plunge for the point was stopped. The Cougars returned to the home gridiron for their homecoming game. They whipped the Celina Bulldogs by a 12-0 score. Iust when it looked as if it would be a scoreless tie at the half, Thomas intercepted a Bulldog pass on Celina's 30. Thomas heaved to Agler who went over untouched. Tindall's place- ment was blocked. Late in the third period Celina fumbled. The Cougars re- covered and on the first play of the last quarter, Fellers circled right end to score. Krick's boot was low. Managers were Wayne Baxter, Paul Johnson, and Marion Baker. - with ,t hu, wk gl 14 x 1-X w 4 '54 A . ,W 6 1 , + A ax I f,' 1,4 3 x A W S i af -f 9 X-Q., -fb-' W Q X :I is E ff' 2 x 1' f iq ' Fx -'hun 3 if C 0 Q 4 5 PQ X 23-E 5, . ff .-C' ' E K 5 5' 7. ..

RESERVE SQUAD A A BN' 948 THE EXCALIBUR BASEBALL 1948 UA. 1 :Q '97 F ,J 1' ' , x tt , xl NTSB' lk ll X 2 , - - ,ix W-V :Lair Again this year Van Wert organized a baseball team. The familiar crack of bat against ball was heard again at the fourth ward diamond. Weather made it rough going for Coach Kish and the squad during the first part of the season. For this reason only one practice game was played before the opener against St. Marys. For the first time the Western Buckeye League had a baseball loop and the Cougars played four league games. Coach Kish had five regulars back from last season, Don Thomas, Dan Ierome, Roger Cobb, Bill Stripe, and Bob Becker. Twenty-nine players reported for practice. The Van Wert roster was juggled several times during the season, but the starting lineup of the first game was: Bill Stripe, pitcher: Don Thomas, catcher: Bob Etzler, first base: lim Rolsten, second base: Bob Becker, shortstop: Dan Ierome, third base: Byron Krugh, left field: Roger Cobb, center field: and Bill Lamb, right field. Other members of the squad were: Dale Davies, Bob Stemen, Bog Fraylick, Dale Dougal, Dale Hoffman, Duane Wolford, Bob Karnpf, Gene Bagley, Iack Kintz, Ed Maxson, Bob Black, and Ray Houts. On April 15th the Cougars journeyed to St. Marys. Behind the two-hit pitching of Davis, the Roughriders downed the Cougar Batmen by a 3-1 tally. Stripe pitched for Van Wert. On April 20th the Cougars lost to Convoy by a 9-6 margin. Lamb pitched. Some other games played were with Celina, St. Henry, Wapakoneta, and Kenton. Bog Kreischer was manager. 50 THE EXCALIBUR 1948 GIRLS' SPORTS Under the instruction of the new physical education teacher, Mrs. Duprey, outstanding in- terest was displayed for all girls' sports. In the warm fall days, the weather was ideal for being outside in the balmy afternoons. Advantage was taken of this condition by playing soc- sport, basketball. Due to the popularity of this snd inside the girls went to play their favorite cer. Before long, ol' man winter came around aport, many teams participated in the intramur- als. After winning over some stiff competition, the Senior Cougarettes emerged victorious, hav- ing won every game. The All Star teams ot each class were then chosen and again the seniors were undefeated. Those on the undefeated senior team were: Rosemary Dilworth, Carol Lehman, Zela Buerkley, Bonnie Forman, Peggy Kintz, Ioan Kiggins, Ioan Runnion, Helen Furrell, Elizabeth Iones, and Carol Hisey. The Iunior All Star Team was composed of: Mildred Thompson, Ierry Laing, Ioan Graber, Barbara Ladd, Phyllis Harmon, Donna Buerkley, Iean Becker, Caroline Brown, Beverly Blue, and Naomi Knittle. Those chosen for the Sophomore team were: Mary Todd, Rea Williamson, Marie Lesher, Virginia Scott, Iulia Speaker, Regina Berry, Margaret Block, Lou Stabler, Pat Skelly, and Con- nie Bricker. Then, last but not least, the Freshmen team was composed of Delores Bauer, Dicia Book, Ioan Edwards, Ianet Agler, Ioyce Walters, Barbara Baxter, janet Rhodes, Ioan Bebout, Olga Burgoon, and Ruby Thatcher. Our next sport, volleyball, was one which was not quite so strenuous. Intramural vol leyball teams were also set up. Six teams participated in this sport. ' When the warm weather once again returned in the spring, the girls went outside to play softball. The girls found variation in the gym classes by playing ping pong, running relays, doing calisthenics, and practicing archery. The girls also learned the finer points of refereeing basket- ball in classes after school. L.-,.. 1948 THE EXCALIBUR BOYS' SPORTS Mr. George Fischer was in charge of intramural sports this year. In the basketball league, the F.F.A. and the Senior Sharks tied for first place, with the T G I, Aggies, Freshman Flashes, Sophomore Sharpies, and Senior Hi-Y trailing along behind. In the league play, the F.F.A. won a fierce struggle with the Senior Sharks for first place. The score was 27-20. The Senior Hi-Y wrested third place from the Sophomore Sharpies with a score of 23-19. The champion- ship game for first and second place was played in the Lincoln Gym, and admission was charged. In the league play, the first tive highest individual scorers werezilames, 825 Seavy, 425 Spindler, 39: Prill, 36: and Vetter, 34. In the volleyball league, Mr. Fisher inaugurated a new system of choos- ing teams. All the eligible boy's names were placed on the blackboard and teams were chosen by the tour team captains. The system seems to have Worked very well. A softball league was planned to finish the schedule. THE EXCALIBUR 1948 44 , 1 YELL LEADERS The cheerleaders for the year 1947-48 were elected the first week of school. Those elected were: Rosemary Dilworth, senior: Marvin Brubaker, sophomore: lean Becker, junior: and Dick Baxter, senior. Rosemary received her varsity V in recognition of two years of service as cheerleader. Not only did they back the team at home, but they also followed the team to the out of town games. Their energy and team spirit have been an inspira- ion to our athletic teams. New uniforms were selected for the yell leaders this year, and the girls' uniforms were ready in time to be worn during the basketball season. The boys' uniforms will be ready for next year. We of the senior class sincerely hope that the fine school spirit which was shown this year will be continued in the years to come.

Motto: Noblesse oblige. tNobility has obligationsl. Pledge: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of this society to which I have been elected, striving in every way, by word and by deed, to make its ideals the ideals of my school and ot my life. Since the National Honor Society looks upon education not as a specialized ability but as a total product of various elements, the organization is founded upon the fundamental objectives ot scholarship, leadership, service, and char- acter. A National Honor Society chapter was granted to the Van Wert High School in l93O and since then there have been three hundred and one members, with sixteen new members inducted into the society this year. The very impressive induction ceremony was held in Lincoln Auditorium on March 5, 1948 and conducted by the six senior members who had been taken into the society in their junior year.

The Girls' Athletic Association, under the direction of Mrs. Rufus Duprey, proved to be a very successful club during this school year. The club started its activities by hiking to the Marsh woods. The members had g chance to earn the twenty-tive points necessary to join the organization. A hilarious initiation ceremony was held in the gym followed by a potluck supper and induction. The new members were conducted into the gym by the cabinet in an impressive service. The G.A.A. sponsored the programs for the basketball and football games.

They contributed five huge bundles to the clothing drive. 1948 THE EXCALIBUR FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA As usual, the Van Wert-Marsh Chapter of the F'.F.A. has completed another very successful year. A gold medal was Won in parliamentary pro- cedure and a silver chapter citation in the district.

Members who won Varsity V's were Clarence Agler, Bill Fellers, Gene Matthews, Bill Seavy, and Roger Vetter. Wayne Showalter, who won his letter last year, was unable to play because of a neck injury. The F.F.A. basketball team again were the winners of the Intramural Bas- ketball League, although it was a tie, and were tournament champions. All the members have carefully selected and well planned an individual farming program consisting of production improvements and supplementary projects. Bernard Waltz received a rating of fourth in the county soybean contest. Other activities conducted by the club were a mixer and an assembly for the high school. There were 33 members in the club this year. There are also 25 honorary members. Twenty three are State Farmers, and two are American Farmers.

Martha Davies is the president of the local club, and Miss Mary Sawyer is the advisor. Four degrees are given in this organization. Iunior I-lomemaker's degree is given locally and Chapter Homemaker's degree is given by the district. This year Martha Davies was one of the first to win the award of State Homemaker. F.H.A. girls hold monthly program meetings and other outside activities. Some of their activities are mentioned below. F.H.A. sponsored a concession at the football games. They adopted a Home Economics Class in Frankfurt, Germany as a project for the year. Clothing, sewing and school supplies, food, and a subscription to a Home Economics magazine have been sent by the club. F.F.A. and F.H.A. held a joint-meeting in October. In February F.F.A. boys were guests of the girls at a skating party. Another party was held at Christmas. The local club awarded the Chapter degrees at the four county rallies in October and February and helped to install the officers of the state F.H.A. at the meeting in May at Ohio State University. This club has received the highest honor given by the state to a club for its achievements, the Award of Merit , for the past three years. Another honor they received was a rating of ninety-seven on their year book for 1947-48. ' At the closing meeting in honor of the Senior F.H.A. members, the girls invited as guests their mothers and the members of the F.T.A. A W'55MM5.frs 1948 THE EXCALIBUR 65 FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The Future Teachers of America was organized for the first time in Van Wert in Decem- ber, 1947. The purpose of the F.T.A. is to interest pupils in teaching and to acquaint them with the aspects of teaching. The club believes that students who know these aspects will make better teachers than those who simply drift into the teaching profession by accident. Throughout the year the club has had varied programs. Mr. Bennett, our superintendent, addressed the club at its first meeting. Students from Bowling Green University conducted a round table discussion on teaching in general. ln April, a noon luncheon was held at the high school building. In the absence of elementary grade teachers, club members were given the opportunity to teach and learn classroom procedure.

Those names with stars are planning to teach in high school. The club members have pins and have as their sponsor Mr. Gallapoo. The following tribute was written to a Teacher and we feel that it can be used for a Future Teacher as well. The Teacher is a prophet. He lays the foundations ol tomorrow. The Teacher is an artist. He works with the precious clay ol unfolding personality. The Teacher is a builder. He works with the higher and tiner values of civilization. The Teacher is a friend. His heart responds to the faith and devotion ol his students. The Teacher is a citizen. He is selected and licensed tor the improvement ot society. The Teacher is a pioneer. He is always attempting the impossible and winning out. The Teacher is a beliver. He has abiding iaith in the improvability of the race. Backstage THE EXCALIBUR 1948 RENDEZVOUS COMMITTEE The Rendezvous Committee is composed of high school students who function under the guidance of the YWCA. The committee is made up of two boys and two girls from each class. Thirty-six candidates are chosen and six- teen are elected by student voting. Officers of the Rendezvous Committee con- sist of co-chairmen and a secretary. The officers this year were Pat Benford and Roger Cobb, co-chairmen: Ieanne Ralston, secretary. Other members were Ioan Kiggins, Dick Baxter, Ioan Graber, R. B. Humphreys, Wayne Baxter, Donna Sells, Anita Brockert, Marvin Brubaker, Frank Hall, Patty Mercer, Ann Weaver, Iim McCleary, and Gene Sunderland. The Rendezvous Committee plans dances held after all home football and basketball games. All the football and basketball players are honored at one of the dances. Other dances also planned by the Committee are the dance for oncoming freshmen, the annual New Year's Holly Hop, and the annual formal Christmas Snowball. The latter is the most important dance planned by the Rendezvous Committee. They are assisted in decorating by a committee chosen from the high school students. The Committee also has several parties. The first this year was a hayride for all Committee members and their dates. The next was a party for all those who decorated for the Christmas Snowball. This party was a scavenger hunt. The last party each year is for the old and new members. First, all took a swim in the YWCA pool and then went out to enjoy a picnic. This party was planned by the old members for the new members, who will be active next year. Miss Marv Cook is advisor for the Rendezvous Committee in addition to her duties as Program Director of the YWCA. She has a keen interest in all young people and works especially hard at the student Hangout, The Rendez- vous Room at the YWCA. 1948 THE EXCALIBUR 67 T EXCALIBUR STAFF The most exciting day of the school year is the one on which the students receive their Excaliburs. The whole school year, its activities, thrills, and ex- periences, is all wrapped up in one fine volume. The goal of the Excalibur Staff is to make the year of 1947-1948 1ive for years to come in the hearts of the students. We of the Staff sincerely hope we have accomplished our goal.

The band participated in a majority of the football games and made a special trip to Columbus last fall to see the high-stepping Ohio State Band. Many ensembles and soloists played for various civic functions and later this year they will attend the annual Northwestern Ohio High School Band Festival to be held at Bexley High School, Columbus. April 5 and 6 were the dates of the Annual Band Concert. The theme song was Now Is the Hour , dedicated to the Senior Class of '48, Benjamin Wait- man and Robert Wollet acted as student directors. Bernice Beck and Martha Ellen Conley, two of the drum majorettes. acted as mistresses of ceremonies. Donald Wolf, a senior in the school of music education, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, was guest clarinet soloist. Peggy Schaffer, a member of the school band, played a saxaphone solo and Martha Ellen Conley was the soloist. The officers for the band are as follows: President, lay Hall: Secretary, Gloria Carlo: Librarians, Iuanita Thatcher and Nancy Lea: Property Boys, Stanley Agler and Gene Bagley. The officers for the Lyre Club are: President, Iay Hall: Vice President, Ben- jaman Waitmang Secretary, Gloria Carlo. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the band as well as the twentieth year of service for Mr. Wolf as director of the school band. We, the seniors of the band wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Wolf for all the things he has taught us and the inspiration he has been to us and the band members of the past twenty years. 948 THE EXCALIBUR THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR Van Wert High School may well be proud of the choral group which has brought the charm of blended voices to our community as well as to our high school. The students presented an operetta, Hollywood Extra on October 21- 22, 1947. They sang for the Rotary Club as well as at the final Lenten service of the city churches at the Methodist Church. The Van Wert High School band combined with the students of Chorus to present a very unique Christmas program for the rest of the high school. The final performance of the entire group was given March 8-9 when the 1948 Choral Concert was presented in the Lincoln Auditorium. This presentation will long be remembered as one of the finest and most entertaining. Special mention should here be given to the boys' quartet and the girls' sextettes. The boys' quartet was composed of Roger Cobb, Don Thomas, Ben- jamin Waitman, and Robert Wollet. The first girls' sextette had as its members Rita Grimes, Fernetta Sackinger, Martha Stoops, Ioyce Herring, Dorothy Wilder, and lean Becker. The second girls' sextette was composed of Marilyn Poling, Carol Hisey, Barbara Ladd, Mary Ann Hennerman, Shirley Harting, and Carol Stevens. These three groups and five soloists entered the district contests. The soloists were Roger Cobb, baritone: Rita Grimes, soprano: Benjamin Wait- man, tenor: Barbara Ladd, alto: and Robert Wollet, baritone. The contests were continued to the finals at Columbus where Roger Cobb received a rating of excellent as did the first girls' sextette. This high school is indeed deeply indebted to lVI.r. Harold E. Mohr, who has ably directed and trained this group in such a fine manner. None of this would have been possible without the conscientious effort put forth by him dur- ing the past year. To Mr. Mohr and to the students enrolled in Chorus, we say Thank you for a year of fine and wonderful music.

The hilarious story concerns the Lovejoy family which consists of Mr. and Mrs. Lovejoy and their three sons. Mrs. Lovejoy's Aunt Jessie is in a position to give the family some much needed financial aid. Unfortunately Aunt Iessie is allergic to boys and since she has never seen them she is under the delusion that Iesse, Vivian and Francis are girls. The fun begins when she comes to visit. The boys are forced to masquerade as girls which results in many amusing situations. How- ever, Aunt Jessie finally undergoes a change of heart and all ends happily.

TO MIDNIGHT Picture springtime in all its glory cmd we have the Prom of 1947! A basket-woven ceiling of pale blue and white streamers looked down on swishing skirts and dignified tuxedos. The third side of the formal garden was formed by a small arched gate and white lattice work entwined with spring flowers. Gliders and wicker chairs, inviting comfortable resting places for the gay dancers, were placed among the green shrubbery bordering the dance floor. In one corner of the make-believe garden swam live gold fish in a small wishing pond. Directly opposite the pond was a brightly decorated stand which saved refreshments to the thirsty guests. The couples danced to the music of Bernie Welch and his orchestra. President Roger Cobb welcomed the seniors on behalf of the junior class. Bob Iones, president of the senior class, gave the response. This Prom was the first in the history of Van Wert High School which alumni and students of other schools could attend as guests of our own juniorsand seniors. Consequently, the attendance was very high and the old saying the more the merrier was a certainty! ALMA MATER O Van Wert Hi, the school we love Our true devotion we would prove Thy traditions gladly share, The noble banner proudly bear. On our work and in our play We'll ever strive to lead the Way. School we love, on us rely, The loyal youth of Van Wert Hi. 1 76 THE EXCALIBUR 1948 THE HOMECOMING The Homecoming of the class of '48 was the first to be held in nine years. It was sponsored by the Iournalism class, and proved to be a huge success in spite of inclement weather . Mildred Beemer, a senior, was elected queen, and was a very capable one. Her atten- dants were: senior, Rosemary Dilworth: junior, Delores Brockertg sophomore, Virginia Scott, and freshman, Patty McCollum. Invitations were mailed to graduates of the previous three years for the occasion, and many of them were able to attend. . -'-5 The festivities began with a parade to which some of I of the dealers and teachers generously contributed the use of their cars. From the YWCA, the parade passed through Main Street to the stadium. At the half of the game Miss Beemer and her attendants proceeded across the football field toward the stadium where she was crowned Queen of the Homecoming. Q ' 1 1' 551' I' Q. mag i Q.. I J.
