The Senior Class PRESENTS THE VERSAILLES OF 1947 Versailles, Ohio Volume 22 Our School We’ve traveled far, our journey’s o’er, Reluctant do we leave its door! The time has gone, the years are spent; Now toward the future we are bent. We’ll long remember its cherished halls, The blackboards, desks, and pictured walls; These from our mind we can ne’er erase, E’en when in life we take our place. The hour has struck, now we must go, Our footsteps falter, our gait is slow; We look once more upon the view And bid a solemn, sad adieu. Two —Betty Brown DEDICATION This annual we do dedicate To our teachers wise and great; They have been our guiding light Though the way was dark as night. Their time and efforts they did give That by education we might better live We thank them each and every one For their work—a task well done. FOREWORD This book is just a little picture, Of our school’s good and kindly nature; By it we’re seeking to portray Happ’nings of interest—day by day. We give you this, our last, our best— To those behind we leave the rest— We hope that in the future years, T’will bring fond memories—not tears. Three THE ANNUAL STAFF First Row—Darold Pierron.

Ten Seniors CLASS ADVISER Mr. Fields Senior Class History In the fall of 1943 our mothers sent forth 76 freshly cleaned youngsters into the halls of Versailles High School, dedicated to the proposition that all children are created for school. Then we were engaged in a great struggle, testing whether our minds or any minds so mixed up and so scared could long endure. We met at the Freshman home room of that school. We had come to dedicate a portion of our minds as a final testing place for those who here gave their lives that this school might survive. It was altogether fitting and proper that we should pass. But in a larger sense we cannot complicate—we cannot concentrate —we cannot sleep in this school. The brave students living and dumb who struggled here have complicated it far beyond our poor power to add or subtract The faculty will little note nor long remember what we said here, but they can never forget what we did here. It is for the Juniors, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work, which we who struggled here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for you to be here astonished at the finished Senior Class before you, that from these honored students you take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion. That you here highly resolve that these students shall not have studied in vain. That this school, under Mr. Hoerner shall have a new birth of geniuses and that school, of the students, by the students, and for the students, shall not perish from Versailles. —Mary Jane Marchal “47”.

Mary Jane Marchal —Alice Kruckeberg —Arthur Beck, Jr. Nineteen Class Prophecy As we, Alice Kruckeberg and Art Beck, were walking down the street, Old Father Time we chanced to meet. We asked him about all of our old friends of Versailles High. He took us gently by the hands. Away we flew to Frenchtown (which is a thriving metropolis). Here we met Bridgid Baltes who was head floorwalker of the department store. Her assistant was none other than Neva Cain. While we stood around observing, a familiar face loomed into view. We waltzed over and met our old school mate. Bob Barga. He had just come in from the baseball field where he had been coaching his nine boys in the noble art of pitching. At a counter close by we spied Susan Baltes. We used to go to school with her. She was selling nylons and for old time sake gave Junior a pair for his wife. Just as we were ready for a long gab fest with Lowell Brown, the banker of Frenchtown, Father Time tapped our shoulder. We climbed upon his staff and journeyed to Yorkshire. We were aghast at the changes that had taken place here. At one end of the town (the west end) was a large dance pavilion. Atop the door was the name “Ralph Barge and his Bumping Buckers.” The hat check girl was Yvonne Littman who had moved from Willowdell to join some of her dearest friends. Wilbert Mescher was calling a square dance. We sauntered across the floor. Seated at a corner table were Don Oliver and Rita Meyer Oliver proudly watching their youngsters dance. We left this charming dungeon and galloped to the school. We were greeted at the door by Superintendent Cyril Bergman and Principal Ralph Long. We were, of course, happy to see our friends of long ago. As we glanced over the class roll we noticed several familiar names. Roger Henry, Jr. leered at us from behind a comic book and Paul How-dishell II threw a brick at our heads. Out we ducked with Father Time at our heels. We had seen enough of this fair city. Our next stop was North Star. James P. George, Lieutenant of the North Star police force, stopped us for speeding. We patiently explained to him that our 1957 Cadillac wouldn’t go any slower than 120. He said nevertheless we must keep our speed down to ninety-five. We paid off and went on our way into town. We met Mona Lou Berger Blakeley She was calling the twins in for lunch. She explained to us that two of our unmarried classmates, Anna Jean Smith and Doris Froebe, R. N., were coming to visit her in the afternoon. We regretted that we could stay no longer. We stopped on the Twelfth Floor of the North Star Bell Telephone Company Building. Toletha Tegtmeyer smiled at us from the switchboard. She said if we would wait just a minute she would have time to talk with us. She completed her call to Dr. Alfred Eilerman from the Reverend Mr. Herbert Huber. They were calling about John Magoto who was in New York managing a big Broadway hit. The star of the show was Mary Jane Marchal. Mary Jane had made quite a name Twenty for herself in the Metropolitan Opera. We left here in a hurry because Father Time was getting quite impatient. We stood on the busiest corner of North Star trying to decide where to go next. So we climbed into our jalopy (remember the 1957 Cadillac) and started toward Greenville. Several miles out of Brock we noticed a mail box with the name Dean Brewer. He graduated with us! We stopped, left Father Time waiting for us and went in. A cute girl who looked strangely like Martha Frantz greeted us. She told us her mother and daddy were in the kitchen. We went in and talked with Martha and Dean. Dean said in answer to our question that Billy Sherry, a bachelor, lived just across the road. We stopped to chat with him for a few seconds. We couldn’t stay long because Father Time was blowing his horn. We leaped into the auto and cruised into Greenville. Here we met Dorothy Beir-ise, who was secretary to Lawyers Philip Kindell and George Knight. Betty Brown was shopping for her five sons so we stopped and talked with her. We asked her if she remembered Paul Berger. She told us that he was co-owner of the Zeller-Berger Realty Company. We stopped to see him and were amazed to see Florine Groff as receptionist. We could have spent all day talking with these people but there was Father Time out in the street arguing with someone. We rushed out just in time to save him from hitting Wayne Pittsenbarger with his staff. Wayne didn’t think Pop Time should be around any time but New Year’s. The argument kept growing. John Simon came running up to help his old friend. As we were leaving by the back way we saw Herbert Pitsenbarger and his dog catchers truck. With him was Ora Krucke-berg. We waved to them but we really couldn’t stop We found out later that Ora was owner of a fruit farm. He was really quite wealthy, too. We proceeded on our merry way to Versailles. On our way we stopped at a charming cottage for a drink of water (you know Junior). Mary Lou Ritchie and Alvira Kramer came running after the maid’s bellow “Why hello there.” I recovered my breath from Phyllis Tritts-chuh’s (the Maid’s) embrace. Then we sat down and talked over old times. Father Time ate more food than anyone (even me). I was glad though because then he wouldn’t complain because we were so slow. We finally tore ourselves away. We had gotten no farther than Dawn when we had a blowout. While we were trying to fix it a huge truck came head on toward us. It stopped and Johnny Martino jumped out to aid us. We had no spare so he pulled us into Versailles to the Paulus Wrecking Yard. John told us on the way in that he was owner of what used to be Begin Bros. The owner of the Wrecking Yard, Edwin Paulus, fixed our tire free of charge but charged us double for filling the gas tank. We left that high class place of business and started to go to the main part of town. We received a warm welcome and Richard Litten, mayor of Versailles, presented to us the key to the city. Patsy Barga now has a cat and dog hospital in Bucktown. Wanda Smith is her surgeon. They are planning an addition to the hospital to include certain mice. Twenty-one Bucktown has really grown to be quite a respectable place. We crossed the railroad tracks and stopped at the Bakery on Main street. The Bakery is now owned and operated by Dave Plessinger. Betty Kelch Plessinger waited on us and told us all the gossip. It seemed that Richard Brandon, most valuable player, class of ’47, was coach at Versailles. He had had a winning football team for six consecutive years. Darold Pierron nows owns the largest wholesale concern in Darke County. We went down to school to see if there were any improvements there. Mr. Rhoades, Mr. Zeller, Mr. Fields, Mr. Hoerner, Mrs. Grillot, Miss Smith and Mrs. Young were still there. Everyone was quite happy about something. We discovered later that it was because Mr. Rhoades had sold insurance policies to the graduating class. We hurried down to the history room and there we found as our example of Ancient History, Mr. Field’s Ford. As we left this room we saw Miss P. C. Prakel, our only old maid school teacher. She is teaching music at V. H. S. We visited the Chemistry Lab and saw to our horror that Mary Lou Graves was still trying to pass. As we left we saw Frances White and Dorothy Berger waiting for their children. They had had a double wedding the summer after graduation and were both very happy. We asked about Jo Ann Headley. Frances told us that several years previous Jo had taken over Subler’s Transfer now called Meyer’s Transfer. Our whole graduating class of 1947 seemed to be well and happy so Junior and I took Father Time to his home. Then Junior clutched his nylons tightly and started home- He was going to use them as a peace offering (he was henpecked and it was late). I myself trotted merrily off in the direction from which I came. —Alice Kruckeberg “47”. Twenty-two Jingles Brigid is a girl who is very kind, She seems to never have a worry on her mind. “Susie” she’s known as to her pals, A friend of all the guys and gals. Pat is a gal with a sweet disposition, As a friend of the class she holds high position. Bob is known as Frenchtown’s “Boon,” And after him the girls do swoon.

We’ve got one that is quiet, his name is Paul, You may not hear him, but he’s “on the ball”. Cyril is a pal to us, indeed, When he drives the truck, thirty is the speed. Versailles High is the name of the place, In all sports Dick really is an ace. Betty is a girl with personality plus, I know she’s liked by everyone of us. To Lowell good grades are everyday, We’ll swap him ours just any day. Dean plays the butler in our class play, But he’s just as mannerly any old day. Neva is a member of our Senior Class, She’s very smart in Math, and a quiet lass. Alfred’s the name, North Star is the town That’s where you’ll find him if he isn’t around. Marty she’s called by lots of gals, And many of the boys are also pals. Twenty-three Froebe is known as our “Chemistry Gal”, Tease her with acid and watch her howl. Not another guy you’ll find like Jim, With all the teachers he’s out on a limb. Graves has a portable which causes much strife, She tunes in , in chorus, on “John’s Other Wife”. A friendly girl, this gal Florine, Without a smile she’s never seen. Jo Ann’s quite swell, we’re not a liar, If you don’t believe us go ask Meyer. Henry’s a guy in our English class, Who gets teased about his friendly lass. Our Paul is very keen, Can always be heard if not seen. “Pete” he’s called by the ones who like him best, He makes high grades on the annual chemistry test. Betty, now she’s really brave, Because, you see, she goes with “Dave”. Phil is the president of our Senior group, To help you out, too low he would not stoop. Here is a Knight that isn’t in the dark, He’s a whiz in basketball and in football scores a mark. Alvira is a girl who seems so very shy, Although she doesn’t say much she doesn’t pass an eye. A girl like Alice can’t be found, Unless you look for miles around. Ora is a guy whose always full of fun, And according to the teachers he’s always on the run. Ford is the car, the fellow is Dick, If he drives thirty-five he must be badly sick. Yvonne is a girl that’s really quite a dame, To catch that guy at Yorkshire seems to be her aim. Ralph is a guy who is quite petite, He shoves his girl’s mother in the backseat. Magoto is the fellow who flirts with all the girls, He whistles, takes souvenirs, and tugs away at curls. Mary Jane is a girl who enjoys her music much, She listens to the masters, operas and such. Twenty-four Martino’s on the Ford list too, He’s worked on it hard to look like new. Wilbert’s car has hydromatic drive, And with all the girls he really does jive. Rita’s sleepy lots of the time, It must be that New Weston chime. Don is a fellow, he’s teased about such, When it comes down to it, he’s liked very much. Edwin’s a pal who helps Vic sell gas, He is a member of our Senior Class. Darold’s good in Chemistry, To us that’s no mystery. “Herby” is a friend worthwhile, He can’t be passed without a smile. “Pitts” who drives a model A, Drives it to school most every day.

Anna Jean is office girl the eighth, And in her we all have faith. Wanda Smith is our cheer leader, She’s quite a gal, you’d like to meet her. It’s “Toots” at the wheel and that ain’t all, At Social Problems she’s “on the ball”. To be called “Slim” makes her hair curl, But we all think she’s a very nice girl. Her name is Frances, her hair is blond, Of that guy Frank, she’s mighty fond. —Arthur Beck, Jr., Frances White. Twenty-five Teacher’s Jingles Mr. Trittschuh is our coach so fine Our Tigers he whips into line In football, basketball, industrial arts He’s the authority in these parts. “A measure behind” is his favorite saying, He always knows who isn’t playing. If you want to study the strings or basses Mr. Bilger’s the one who has these classes. The sopranos sing high, The tenors sing low. Mrs. Thomas says, “Attention or Out of chorus you go.” Our math teacher is slim and tall, He always has a grin for all He knows that x and y stand for And other mathematical lore. A. M. and P. M. are not just times of day. She teaches Home Economics; He teaches F. F. A. Mr. Phipps is new to our school this year. The junior high is his teaching sphere. He also helps to coach the teams He’s always busy so it seems. She’ll teach you how to type with speed, To take dictation when there’s need, To keep a set of books with care, If into business you should dare. Mr. Rhoades is our Principal, A mighty man is he, To make an A in Chemistry Is an impossibility. Who is it that greets us every day, In the very same old pleasant way, And teaches us “How do you do.” And “Thank you please; don’t mind if I do”. Here is a man whose office Is the student’s well-known Jinx. When they say “Mr. Hoerner wants you,” Down your heart just sinks and sinks. Miss Eastman really rules the roost She gives the Freshman Class a boost In English you can hear her say, “Now Johnny, put your gum away ” “Abran sus libros,” you hear her say, You know it’s just her Spanish way. “Amo, amas” may follow that Then Latin is the class she’s at. To Mr. Fields we owe great thanks; He overlooks our senior pranks. His patience constantly we try; To him, we hate to say goodbye. —Arthur Beck, Jr. Twenty-six Can You Imagine? 1.

We have made several stepping stones during the year. The first was the election of class officers. They are: President—Gale Blakeley. Vice President—Ruth Mumaw. Secretary-Treasurer—Treva Apple. Student Senate—Mary L. Magoteaux, Donald Keller. Next was the choosing and ordering of our class rings. They came in time for Christmas and naturally we were very proud of them. Our class play “Glass Dishes”, was given November 22, 1946, and we are glad to say it was a success. We sold football and basketball schedule pencils by the thousand. Yes, we sold five thousand. We even raffled a radio. We found, as the football and basketball season opened, many of our boys on the main teams. Good work fellows! We are also proud to have Ruth Mumaw as a cheer leader. Our last step was the Junior-Senior Prom which was held on May 10. And now to the seniors who are leaving us, we wish you much success as you travel through life. —Doris Warner “48”.

Don Keller was elected president, Mary Magoteaux as vice-president, and Patsy Barga as secretary-treasurer. We also chose Ralph Barga to be the Homecoming Queen’s Escort. The Student Senate was in charge of the Jamborees held after the Friday night basketball games. The Swing Band did a fine job of furnishing the music and I am sure all the students had a good time. Some of the boys preferred playing cards. The proceeds from the Jamborees were put into a fund which we are building to purchase a new trophy case. We want a larger trophy case for the many fine trophies the school has received. —Mary Magoteaux “48”- Fifty-seven Latin Mastifiiae First row—Phyllis Fackler, Doris Bergman, Kathleen Schulze, Mary Ann Grillot, Wanda Hutchens.

Mastigiae translated to English means “rascal”, and that is just what we were that night. The Freshmen were marched through town to the tune of cracking-paddles. They were then served some rare Roman dishes which they would rather not talk about. After the initiation refreshments were served. The masters went home feeling that the party was a great success, but the Freshmen were a sorry looking sight. The next day at school we saw some great fashion creations displayed by the underclassmen. At Christmas the Freshmen had a party. They all seemed to think the party was more fun than trying to translate Latin. The Freshmen have chosen their Latin pins, but they have been delayed in arriving. The first and second year Latin students are planning to have a party at the end of the year. The Freshman Latin students are looking forward to success in the following year. The second year students are looking to the future and to the day when Latin will help them through life. Fifty-eight —Jack Barga “49”.

This study of Spanish acquaints us with the history of Spanish and Mexican civilization. It also instructs us of the customs, history, spirit, commercial life, educational systems, geography, and literature of Spanish speaking countries. To combine amusement with our study of Spanish this year we have received a Spanish paper, “El Eco.” It contains current events, short stories, jokes and puzzles. The world is becoming more interested in Spanish civilization than ever before. Many magazines now carry articles and illustrations on modern Spanish civilization. The second year Spanish class is small; there are eleven students. No Spanish I was offered this year. The full schedule of the curriculum prevented its being taught, but the subject will be continued in the future. —Frances White “47”.

By the term “Commercial” we mean any type of work an office may require, whether it is Shorthand, Typing, or Bookkeeping. In Shorthand I we have learned the fundamentals of Shorthand, how to be able to write and identify the signs representing letters and words. Those pupils taking Shorthand II have been busy with dictation, transcription, and filing. They have always looked forward to written transcription day (and how!). Typing class, as usual, has been a most interesting one for each of us. In the first year typing course we did straight typing, and were striving for speed and control. The advanced class has been working on office correspondence, legal documents, etc. They have also helped in the editing of two school papers during the year. In Bookkeeping we have been engrossed in our workbooks, keeping personal accounts and budgets. Every six weeks we were given form tests. Several people also took the State Bookkeeping Tests. I have liked being a Commercial member very much and I know the students next year will also enjoy it. Sixty —Ruth Mumaw “48”. F. F. A. First Row—Mr. Mechling, Harvey Warrick. John Simons.

The ceremony was solemn and pretty with the freshman girls wearing white blouses and dark skirts, while the officers and the girls represent- Sixty-two ing the eight purposes wore formals and carried candles. To get acquainted with the members of the F. H. A. a joint hay ride was held. Everyone had a lot of fun. Starting the season out with a “Bang!” the F. H. A., along with the F. F. A- sponsored the School and Community Fair. The fair was truly a great success with over 650 entries being exhibited in the Home Economics Department. On Friday night the entertainment was provided by the grade children. Jack’s Xylophone Band presented a program on Saturday night. On November 13, the test for the Junior Homemaker’s Degree was given to determine which girls were eligible to receive the award. This degree was given to 38 girls at the following meeting. The Sophomores were in charge of the Christmas party. A gift exchange was held. Eentertainment consisted of group singing, playing games and dancing. Delicious refreshments were served. An invitation was received from the Greenville F. H. A. Chapter to a formal dance which was held March 14. The six Senior members of the club, along with Mrs. Mechling, took a week-end trip to Chicago, April 18.

Mr. Fields was chosen to be our instructor. Somehow everyone got the impression that it would be a snap course and eighteen victims were caught. Mr. Fields disillusioned us at the beginning of the year by making a rule of a fifteen minute penalty speech for the people who came to class without their lesson. Now we thing such a short speech is a treat. The first few days we were quite nervous and felt very stiff when we got up in front of the class. Now we feel more at ease and can look our audience in the face, even while they’re snoring. The Public Speaking class gave a program the evening of the Band Concert. It consisted of a series of Novelty Numbers and was directed by Mr. Fields. I have enjoyed Public Speaking class and I’m sure the rest of the class has also. The information we were taught will help up in the future years. And so ladies and gentlemen I conclude my speech with a little poem— Public Speaking is “A” number one And speaking for Seniors, we hate to be gone. We’ve all had fun in every way In our work, as well as play, And now I have one thing to say— If you’re in this course next year, And behind in your work you’ve slid; Just remember this very old saying of mine, “Just keep on smilin’ kid.” —Arthur Beck Jr., “47”.

HIGH SING SING LOW This year when ol’ V. H. S. opened her doors to the eager and willing students, fresh from their vacation, (ahem!) chorus work strongly appealed to them. A large group consisting of 120 boys and girls, decided to lend their voices and great zeal to furthering their musical education. The Girl’s Trio, consisting of Betty Brown, Phyllis Trittschuh, and Phyllis Prakel added their talent of harmony to one of our many accomplishments. They have participated in several programs this year, two of these which have been held at Greenville. In January they sang for the Greenville Music Club and in March at the Greenville Methodist Church. After being absent several years from the spring contest at Wittenberg College, Mrs. Thomas, our Choral Director, is choosing a special chorus and soloists to try their hand at winning their laurels. Good luck to you all! Sixty-five Chorus Mrs. Thomas, a new teacher this year, has helped us tremendously in the lives of famous composers. We have spent part of our time on “music appreciation’’ and reports on the lives of composers by students in chorus. The Senior Class organized a caroling party at Christmas and had an evening of great fun, though their tonsils were slightly frozen by the time they reached home. The accompaniests for the chorus this year are Sarah Jane Kin-dell and Phyllis Prakel. Keep up the good work girls! As this school year ends, we only hope that we have persuaded even more students to build a bigger and better chorus next year. So until then—keep singing. —Yvonne Treon “48”.

On May 13th, Versailles was host to the Band Festival. This is an organization of Bands throughout this section of Ohio. This is the first year Versailles has belonged to this organization, and we feel proud that they selected Versailles as the place for the Festival. There was a parade in the afternoon, and a concert in the evening under the lights at the footfall field. The Annual Spring Concert was held on March 7th. We were very happy to have had Mr. Elmer Schweizer of Arcanum for our guest conductor. —Treva Apple ’47.

Phyllis Young: I know how to talk with the upper set. Patsy Zeller: Are they new? Seventy-nine Phyllis went into a store to buy a string for her violin, and was waited on by an inexperienced sales clerk, fresh from England. “I’d like to have an E string, please,” she told her. She ducked down behind the counter and searched, then went away and was gone for some time. Finally she came back and, in desperation, thrust at her the entire assortment of strings in the shop. “Pick it yerself, would yer?” she begged. “I can’t tell the blinkin’ e’s from the she’s!” o “Wilbert!” “Mumm—wmph.” “Wilbert! Wake up!” “Uh . . . mpff . . . wassamatter?” “Wilbert, I’m certain I heard a mouse squeak!” “Waddya want me to do?

You get down off a duck!” -------------o------------- Betty: “When I applied for a job the manager had the nerve to ask if my punctuation was good.” Doris: “What did you tell him?” Betty: “I said I’d never been late for work in my life.” -------------o------------- Susan (telephoning): “Oh, Doctor, please come over right away.

After a question or two, Darold glared: “It is glowing with pride at never putting itself in anybody else’s business.” Eighty FOR GIRLS ONLY— If you smile at boys, you’re flirting If you don’t you’re stuck up If you wear short skirts you’re immodest If you don’t you’re old fashioned If you wear lots of make-up you are cheap If you don’t you’re a baby If you have lots of boy friends you’re a two-timer If you don’t you’re not popular. Moral: That’s what you get for being a girl. -------------o------------ I stood on the bridge at midnight And sang that good old song: “I stood on the Bridge at Midnight”, But I didn’t stand there long.

Oh Lord----------- never mind------I’m caught on a nail!” -------------o------------- Mrs. Young: “Mary Lou, what was the reason for your absence from school yesterday, acute appendicitis?” Mary Lou: “No, a cute truck driver ” -------------o------------- Sing a song of sulphide, beakerful of lime, Four and twenty test tubes breaking all the time. When the cork is taken out, Fumes begin to reek, Isn’t that an awful mess To have five times a week! -------------o------------- That’s My Boy— Freshman: “Please, Mama, let me go out tonight.” Sophomore: “May I go out tonight? The show is over at ten.” Junior: “I’m going out tonight, Dad.” Senior: “Good night, folks. I’ll bring in the milk.” -------------o------------ Roses are red, Violets are blue. I copied your answers and I flunked too! Eighty-one “Do you know,” said Ralph ( a young student at the agricultural college) to an old farmer, “your methods of cultivation are a hundred years behind the time? Why, I’d be surprised if you made a dollar out of the oats in this field here.” “So would I,” smiled the farmer, “It’s barley.” -------------o------------ Shortly before Hitler’s fall, Phyllis strolled into a barn where a young man was milking a cow. With a snort she asked, “How is it you are not at the front, young man?” Because, madam,” answered the milker, “there ain’t no milk at that end.” -------------o------------ Father: “Why were you kept in after school?” John: “I didn’t know where the Azores were.” Father: “Well, in the future remember where you put things.” -------------o------------ Doris: (in letter regarding raising poultry) “How long should a hen remain on the eggs?” Editor of Poultry Journal: “Three weeks for chickens and four for ducks M Doris: (in letter three weeks later) “Many thanks for your advice for the setting hen.
