MARY JO WISE ezizkalizioilz lt is with the very greatest pleasure that we, the Senior Class of Van Wert High, dedicate this Excalibur to our true friend and outstanding teacher, Mrs. Mary Jo Wise. Every Freshman who enters our high school has the opportunity - truly the privilege-of spending a year in one of Mrs. Wise's Freshman English classes. Each student who enters one of these classes cannot help but leave it with a richer, fuller knowledge of English and the realization that they have spent a year under the guidance of one of the most wonderful persons ever to belong to the faculty of any high school. It is, then, with sincere good wishes that this Excalibur is dedicated to Mrs. Wfise. 'Viv Mn: :Q - 1,934 r ss Y 2393 6- cv K lu i? Y' fx Q X ww i 5 212- l 1 sififggs l. 1 -. ,--. 5 ll 2,1 V, , .

To most of us. it seems a very short time since we sat in the study hall and were labeled Greenies .

It was the start of a new period in our lives, the beginning of high school. What a cocky air we had that bright and sunny morning, Hadn't we been upper-classmen the year before and the idol of those of the sixth and seventh grades? Sad to say, that confidence vanished the moment we entered the halls. Where were our friends who had laughed at our antics? Not even the Sophomores were sympathetic-and the juniors and Seniors didn't know we even existed. After emerging from the first trying week of this new adventure, we elected class officers: Jim Bagley, Presidentg Dorothy Schaper, Vice-Presidentg Nancy Bennett, Secretary, and Paul Wagstaff, Treasurer. By the end of that year, each member of the class had greatly enlarged his circle of acquaintances, broad- ened his mind, and acquired a bit of that indefinable loyalty called school spirit. Proud of ourselves as greenies , we next were Sophomores in the midst of a maze of events. Again we elected class officers, choosing Paul Wagstaff, President, Bob Skelley, Vice-President, Mary Ann King, Secretary, and Richard Adams, Treasurer. Wfe have, by hard efforts, managed to climb the rugged steps until at last we are upper-classmenf' Wfe set out campaigning for class officers again, this time electing Paul Wagstaff, Presidentg Dorothy Schaeper, Vice-President, Carolyn Corner, Secretaryg and Richard Adams, Treasurer, Our representatives to the Student Council were Jim Baltzell, Larry Giessler, Bill Maize, Robert Scheidt, Allen Stabler, and Paul Wagstaff. To Coach Smith for the fighting Cougar football team we sent Paul Alvarado, Jim Bagley, jim Baltz- ell, Bill Maize, -Iim Miller, Allen Stabler, and Don Williams. Jim Bagley, jim Baltzell, Carl Beck, and Harold Murphy represented our class on the basketball floor. Noel Moore served his third year as basketball manager. The yellers who cheered our boys on to victory were Peg Agler and Suzonne Conley. We Shook The Family Tree, a hilarious three-act comedy was presented by: Richard Adams, -lim Bagley, Marcia Becker, Virginia Bergstrom, Joyce Bricker, Carolyn Cotner, Pat Griffis, Rolden Heath, Eleanor Oechsle, Myrna Sowers, Allen Stabler and Gene Wollenhaupt. Prompter and stage man- ager were Rose Ann Sinn and Fenton Bagley. In the Homecoming Festivities Peg Winsley represented the junior Class as an attendant. Five members were greatly honored by being elected to the National Honor Society. They were Fenton Bagley, Mary Lou Dietrich, Pat Griffis, Robert Scheidt, and Paul Wagstaff. There is some real musical talent among the Juniors, many members being in the chorus and the band. Luther Cox and Robert Scheidt reatl assisted Mr. ones and the chorus b havin arts in the Y . Y S P operetta H.M.S. Pinaforef' For the marching band Robert Scheidt served as the high-stepping drum major. Many of our group participated in club activities. Serving on club cabinets were: G.A.A.-Josephine Barrientos, Virginia Bergstrom, Joyce Bricker, Suzonne Conley, Germaine Conn, Rose Ann Sinn, and Marcia Waymire. Y-Teens-Suzonne Conley, Germaine Conn, Carolyn Corner, Sue Dustman and Myrna Sowers. F.H.A,-,lean Cross, jackie Feeney, and Carol Zinsmeister. F.F.A.-Allen Stabler. Hi-Y-Paul Wagstaff. V-Club-jim Bagley, jim Baltzell, Carl Beck, Bob Grubb, Bill Maize, Harold Murphy and john Riley. The dance band, led by Shirley Knodel, has greatly enlivened the school mixers. Now that our high school life is three fourths over, we look back on our efforts with a feeling of satis- faction. We are looking forward with great anticipation to our Senior year and to the many good things which it holds in store for us. CAROLYN CoTNER JT Sophomore Class Histor Ding Dong, Ding Dong! Yes, the old familiar sound beckoned us to leave our sum- mer sports and join in school activities once more. The building looked much more familiar than it had last year when we had sheepishly looked around, wondering what to do or where to go next. No, we werent greenies anymore and we felt much older. To start the year off right, we elected the following class officers: Lloyd Lee, president, Bob Kibler, vice-president, Nancy Mayer, secretary, Juanita Grunden, treasurer. Sue Eggers, Shirley Haight, Joyce Williman, Nancy Mayer, Jim Young and Lloyd Lee represented our class as student council members. Basketball players from the sophomore class were: Gary Doxtater, Jim Gribler, Willie Hernandez, Roger Holtsberry, Ed Linser, Jay Mcliim, Don Miller, Frank Scott, Dick Smith, Bob Stemen, Bob Wfeisenborn, and Jim Young. Ralph Matthews and Norman McDaniels were managers. Sophomore football players were Dick Geisman, Larry Gilliland, XVillie Hernandez, Mike Kennedy, Lloyd Lee, Ed Linser, Norman McDaniels, JayDe Mcliim, Frank Scott, Bob Stemen, and Jim Young. Head manager was Rober Sherman, assisted by Bill Wertz. We were proud to have Lloyd Lee, Dick Geisman, Jim Young, and Frank Scott in the V-Club. Janet Kreischer, Colletta Collette, Janice Wells, Marilyn Vifhite, Barbara Burgoon, and Audrey Kreischer were cheerleaders. Our majorettes were Shirley Johns and Doris Rhodenbaugh. We had officers in quite a few clubs: Junior Y-Teensg Sally Jarvis, presidentg Laurie Gold, vice-president, Jean Purdy, secretary, Sylvia Thomas, treasurer. Junior Hi-YQ Bob Kibler, president, Jim Young, vice president, Larry Gilliland, secretary, Mike Kennedy, treasurer. Future Homemakers of America: Shirley Bell, secretary. Future Teachers of America: Roxanna Kreischer, secretary. Sophomore homecoming attendant was Sylvia Thomas. Dick Geisman won the Golden Gloves Heavyweight Championship at Fort Wayne. We have enjoyed the first two years of High School and are looking forward to the next two, curious to know what the future holds for us.

Freshman Class History The class of l954, one hundred and sixty of us, were bug-eyed and humble like all of our predecessors. We didn't know Hamas from aniat, and thought that marked the spot of a murder mystery. However, most of us finally found our way to classes. The girls learned to wear hose, and some of the boys gave up their yo-yos to learn dancing. Budding athletes became apparent. Politicians appeared on all sides. Of these we elected: john Blake, president, Kath- leen Moore, vice-presidentg Loretta Huffine, secretaryg Reha Elston, treasurer. We were represented on the Student Council by: Mary Jerome, Fred Giessler, Chuck Richey, and John Blake, Fifteen of our boys found time to go out for football. They were: Roger Agler, Gary Brian, Francis Balliet, Rick Barrientos, Danny McConahay, Phil Tanner, Ronnie Doner, Ollen jones, Bill Dias, Chuck Richey, Gerry Dierks, jim Wfilson, Lester Wisener, Gale Gilliland, and Nathan Schaadt. Representing us in basketball were: Rick Barrientos. Chuck Richey, Danny Murphy, Nathan Schaadt, Stanley Miller, slim Miller, Larry McDaniels, Bill Gipe, David Heftel, and Danny McConahay. Nancy lmler served as cheerleader. Representing our class on the G.A.A. Cabinet was Kay Brown. Karen Brockert served on the junior Y-Teen Cabinet. Band, Chorus, junior Hi-Y, and various other organizations played important parts in the lives of the members of our class. We have developed by this time into a group who looks forward to the future with courage and spirit, XVhat's more we have made many new friends. We look forward with much eagerness to the coming years and hope that they will prove to be as enjoyable as our first.

The Cougars, in what was perhaps their best played game of the season, came from behind in the fourth quarter to win l-1-15. lf it had not been for the accurate toe of Tom Krick and the hard running of jim Young, the re- sults might very well have been reversed. The first quar- ter was scoreless, but midway in the second Bellefontaine started rolling and scored on a pass from Barlow to Wil- liams. The Cougars couldn't get started until the fourth quarter when they began a sustained drive that ended with Young carrying it over from the three.

Krick converted again, making the score 21-6. But Wapak was not to be denied and they scored once more in the first half, again with Newland taking it over. From there on out it was Wapak's game, offensively. They tallied in the third quarter for their third and final touch- down, making the score 21-19. Uutscored but not outplayed, the Van Wert Cougars were handed their first defeat of the season by the power- ful Lima Central Dragons, 27-15.

Baltzell carried it over from the nine on an end sweep. Krick's boot was wide and Van Wert led 6-0. This was all the scoring for the first half, but St. Marys started the third quarter with a bang. Cook took a punt on the -i6 yard line and traveled to Van Wert's 26. Skin- ner got 9 and Cogan made a first down on the 14. Skin- ner smashed over for the TD, then cracked center to add the extra point.

Future Homemakers of America Motto: Toward New Horizons Future Homemakers of America is a National Organization of girls studying homemaking in the high school. The National Future Homemakers was founded June ll, l94i5. The local chapter affiliated with state and national organizations September 1945. F.H.A. is the junior Organization of the American Home Economics Association. Four Degrees of Achievement are given in the organization. These include -junior Homemaker, Chapter Homemaker, State Homemaker, and American Homemaker. A national program of work is followed. Activities are planned in order that the goal of the organization may be attained as well as those of homemaking classes. Wrindrt Stoller is president of the local chapter this year and Miss Mary Sawyer is adviser. The Award of Merit is given each year for a chapter doing outstanding work. This is the sixth consecutive year for the local chapter achieving the award. One of the requirements is Improvement of the Homemaking Department . Added to the department this year were a radio and floor lamp. Also a Scrap Book is kept recording all events. This year some of the events were: Christmas Party, Mothers Tea, St. Patricks Day Party, and the use of a roving reporter at the state meeting held in Columbus April l5 and 14. A formal initiation for new members is held. And in addition to paying state and national dues the local chapter contributes to camp and scholarship funds. Most of the appropriations for these funds and others are made at the F.H.A. concession stand during Football Season. The Usherette Club This club is just two years old. It was organized to fill a distinct need because ushers for school affairs were often unavailable. All school functions that need ushers call upon this group of girls to aid them.

W. H . S. band under the excellent direction of Mr. Leonard Wfolf started out the school year of 1950-1951 in full swing. They attended all of the football games, at home and out of town, except the Bellefontaine game. Following the football season they settled down, and transforming from a marching band to a concert band, they began to prepare for the Christmas season. After successfully passing the holidays their next objective was the annual band concert on Arpil 5-4 and the Band Festival at Lima. Ohio, On May ll. The curtain opened at the annual concert with a very unusual patriotic theme, Between our Capi- tol Dome and the Statue of Liberty. Old Glory waved with unusual vigor to the familiar strains of Our National Anthem. This theme was carried out throughout the concert. On March 31, the following soloists and ensembles traveled to Lin'a for the district contest. Stephen Moyer, trombone soloistg Coleen Wfortman, corner soloistg and the following ensembles: a clarinet quartet consisting of Shirley Benford, Shirley johns, Elaine Gamble, and Patty Hardeng and a mixed quartet with Coleen Wfortman, Luther Cox. Dorthea Tozer, and Stephen Moyer. This year marks the twenty-second anniversary of the annual band concert as well as the twenty-third year of service for Mr. Wialf as director of the school band. XVe, the seniors of the band, wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Wixlf for all the things he has taught us and the inspiration he has been to band members for the past twenty-two years. 6' 'Y gp' Q., . 1 Chorus The Van Wert High School A Capella Choir Linder the direction of Nr. Herbert Jones is one of the most outstanding groups in our school. This choir tal-ces part in many activities in the community such as presenting Christmas and Easter programs for various churches. This year the A Capella Choir presented H.M.S. Pinatore. a favorite oper- etta by Gilbert and Sullivan. The production was put on two nights by two different casts. The choir also participated in the district contests at Ada. Several ensemble numbers were given and the boys and girls glee clubs both participated along with many solos. The choir consists of about eighty students. It meets every day during the third period, Mr Jones keeps his choir busy all the time by stepping right from one event into another. New robes were purchased this year for the entire choir. They are maroon colored with white satin inset sleeves and white dickies. They add color and give a good appearance to the choir.

But unfortunately, the process wasnt as easy as she had expected. With the patient and understanding aid of her mother, Hildegard finally succeeds in getting her desired date.

Future Fantasy All In Fun I About The Class f '51 On a trip to Van Wert as a sojourn from Mars, I heaved a sigh and looked back at the stars. What do you think of our class of old-If I were to tell you would you think me bold? 'Twas many years back I lived on this land-stood in the stadium-cheered the band. But now that I've learned whats become of them all-like Humpty Dumpty, its the end of a fall. They've all scattered far- to the ends of the earth -of many of them we ne'er knew their worth. Janet Agler is married. but busy as of yore, helping her husband run a sporting goods store. Kandy Aglers in Hollywood taking the bows. breaking female hearts and all lovers vows. John Alspachs in Rio. and his Photography fame has made all on the continent know his name. Betty and Virgie Anderson run a retreat-they're down at Key West where Presidents they meet. Kenny Aurand is a trustee in Union- and from what they tell us he must be a good one. Don Baer sings in opera-his bass voice is well known and oh! round his middle, he really has grown. Dort Baer quietly sits at home by the fire-sews a fine seam and waits for her flyer. Mary Bagley is noted as a designer of dresses-her prices are high for just one of her sketches. Gene Bagley designed a new basketball hoop-the thing is quite simple-for its just one big loop. A Supreme Court Justice is Billy Burton-hes really adept at drawing all legal curtains.

Buerkley and Stepleron in the town for the day-they own the Willards, I did hear them say. Dick Busch who played at center on our basketball team is now a referee and has won great esteem. Jan Rose married and went far away to an old church mission and there continues to stay. Donna Cassell is working with books, no surprise, for in high school we knew her to be library wise. Bernard Clarks head of the Navy Band School, famed for teaching trumpet to Francis the Mule. Another teacher came from our class-Donna Clymers grade is one hard to pass. Tall, dark and hand- some was pranster Jim Cramer-a gal was his downfall. but say, could you blame her? The oracle has spoken is a favorite remark in Prof. Crows classes where in mumble diction hes a shark. Though several are teaching, not little Lucille Crowe, she married one and he was not an old, old beau. Stepped into the bank and there was Bob Davies-he owns a store-may the saints preserve us. Jeanie Davis is in England, so society writers say-married to Jim Fawcett-hes on embassy pay.

Then I asked for Odetta Johnson, was told shes teach- ing school-in the fith Ward Building where she teaches the Golden Rule. Pat Kinsey, the mathematical wizard has invented a mechanical woman, who can figure all of the problems just as though it were really a human.

Teen-agers kept getting into our way-for Dick, yes, you guessed it. hes the Clark Gable of today. Saw Carl Maxson and chatted a moment, hes selling a gadget whipped cream to foment. Came back to the Tribune to put in an ad. saw another Van Werter, Peggy May and her Dad. Back in Van Wert I went to find a mechanic, found three pretty girls and there was no static-Millers the name, Betty Lou and Juanita, Pat Mercer to help them-you could find no one neater.

Ned Willimans known to all, following in his fathers shoes, his singing as he cuts the meats drives away the shoppers blues. Chief of Police is Wolford, and what do you think he drives, its a Cadillac for cruising with machine guns on the sides. Coleen Wortman holds the record, in fact the best one in the land. For as trumpet soloist shes still with Ohio States marching band. Paintings by our Nancy Z. are attracting great attention. You hear her name most everywhere a good painting is always mentioned. Earlene Tindall came late in the year to join our senior class. We remember her now but know not where to find that pretty lass, Thelma O. is another one who didnt start out with us. Now as a lady presi- dent, she runs the Greyhound Bus.
