DEDICATION We, the Senior Class, would like to dedicate this twenty-first publication of the Oracle to the man on the faculty known as Stace . Graduating in 1930, with a Bachelor of Science degree from Bowling Green State Uni¬ versity, Donald A. Stacy came here to Whitmer. He taught physical education and biol¬ ogy, and was coach of all athletic activities, which then were basketball, baseball, foot¬ ball and track. In that same year, Mr. Stacy and Mrs. Gladys Rust were co-authors of the famous Whitmer circus. Through Mr. Stacy ' s leadership, we celebrate this year the performance of the seventeenth annual circus. In 1937, he received his Master ' s Degree from Bowling Green. In 1945, advisor to the yearbook and Senior Class was he. Devoted to his teaching profession, Mr. Stacy also has been a contractor and registered basketball and football official for sixteen years. Mr. Stacy, the spicy little advisor of this 1951 Senior Class, has helped us come out in the clear on the Junior Play, designed the float for which we received first prize, and directed our Senior Class Play. Yes, we, the Senior Class, wish to express deep-felt thanks and true gratitude for all things accomplished to that man on the facutly affectionately known as Stace . . . 6

ADMINISTRATION MR. HAROLD M. RYDER Superintendent of Lucas County Through earnest efforts, high ideals, and hard work, Whitmer is attaining its superior rank. I know you will keep it up. Congratulations, H. M. Ryder MR. ARDEN C. WALKER Principal of Whitmer High School As I write these few words of greeting to you, the office door is open and can see you as you pass by in the hall. Your steps are quick; your laughter, hearty. Your young faces reflect the joy of living and the confidence and idealism of youth. The bell rings, you scurry to your rooms, the halls are bleak and empty—and I am again left with my thoughts of what your lives are to be. Dark, ominous war clouds are again gathering over our nation. Your heritage of freedom is again assailed by those who follow the banner of lust, greed, lawlessness, and hate. You might feel justified in giving up and just drifting through life, but this is not to be your destiny. Each generation must take what talent-: it has been granted and add its contributions to all previous progress. You need not discover new worlds, or win world renown, but be true to the best that is a part of you and no man has ever done more-. The sum of individual character makes national character. A. C. Walker MR. EARL B. DRIVER Superintendent of Washington Township Congratulations to the Oracle and its staff upon the attainment of the majority of a great yearbook. Whitmer and other Washington Township Schools have come a long way in the last 21 years. It must seem a real pleasure and privilege to serve in the capacities of advisor and staff members of the yearbook. We are all justly proud of Whitmer and the Washington Township School system. Just recently another important milestone was achieved in the glorious history of our schools. This was in the passage of a bond issue for the construction of a Junior High School building. Again, the citizenry of Washington Township demonstrated their determination to give the youth of our community the best in educational opportunities. To all Whitmer students, congratulations for being in the best township in the state. Let us all appreciate our blessings, and take advantage of opportunities that are offered to us. E. B. Driver
