Ours is no exception, and we are very fortunate to have such a capable board of public spirited men. Obviously, most of us realize too little the importance of the job these men have to perform. We may seem too uninterested in their duties but we take this opportunity to commend them on their fine work during the past school year. 7 .as IRS. OPAL CLOUSE First Grade MRS.

Everything looked so strange, but the strangest part of it all was the fact that our small vocabulary which we had strived so hard to learn was NOT to be used during school time. But with the patient help of Miss Nieferd we were taught, and tried very hard to learn our a,b,c's, numbers etc., which then made us eligible for the second grade where we were earnestly taught by Miss Eicher. There our main tasks were reading, writing and arithmetic. With the second grade duties accomplished we dashed into the third grade where we were greet- ed by Miss Dudgeon, our teacher for the following year, which was spent struggling with our multiplication tables. We then happily marched into the fourth grade where we took up several new subjects under the super- vision of Mr. Sipe and Mr. Edwards. In the fifth grade we were privilaged to again have Miss Eicher as our teacher. The sixth grade was spent with Mr. Sipe and Mr. Edwards as our teachers. In the following two years Mrs. Fisher and Mr. Sipe gave us our much needed knowledge to enter high school. Confidentially, after we mastered algebra we felt quite advanced in education. We were all beaming with pride the night we got our eighth grade diplomas, that is till we stumbled up and down the steps and made several other em- barrassing blunders. lt was then we realized that there was room for more knowledge, which we strived to get in our next four years of schooling. , Next we were introduced to everyone as the Green Freshman, and just between you and me, we really felt green, especially when the Seniors of 1947 set a day aside just for us. Weren't we all a sight'?3 the girls with their bib overalls on wrong side out and backwards and the boys came attired in their A'nighties 2 But after that treacherous day, we were once again back to studying. In our Sophomore year we sold candy at noon to expand our treasury. We were kept extremly busy in our Junior year---First we had the play Three's A Crowd . We learned then the enjoyment and fright of giving a play. We were kept busy the rest of the year selling pins, pencils, and a paper drive. We also took a three day trip to some of the historical spots in Ohio. It proved to be both enjoyable and edifcational. Most of all we were kept busy with our lessons for we all know that the higher you go the harder it gets. AhI I Seniors at last , were the words with which began the year. As the year crept by we realized that we would soon be saying good-by for the last time to our good old Alma Mater, Which isn't so bad after all . We're all looking forward to our trip to Washington, D. C. at the close of our school year. There are three boys and five girls who have attended all twelve years at Willshire. They are Donald Caffee, Gerald Hoblet, Gene Beinz, Peggy Clouse, Susie Cowan, Clara Rose Gribler, Martha Schaffner and Bonnie Brasher. We all consider ourselves very fortunate in being able to have Mr. Games as our sponsor all four years. We earnestly want to thank hi.m for all he has done for us, for he has spent many strenuous hours with us. 10 ik Kg. l ,V if 4-s X as Q ' X F' 2 F .X W., , is Q V, .

None other than Edward Huston announcing the Mystery Melody program. This gave me a big thrill, so I settled back in my easy chair hoping that I would be called by telephone-to identify a song. I no sooner had wished until my wish came true. The telephone rang and it was Edward calling me and asking if I could guess the Mystery Melody, which I did without hesitating. My prize was a plane trip to New York with all expenses paid. Oh! I was so happy because I knew I would have a chance to visit the class of 1950. I boarded a plane at Baer Field, Fort Wayne, and to my surprise the pilot was Bob Kuhn who was very efficient. It took just four hours to fly to New York, and this being my first trip to New York I lost no time in touring the city. I hail- ed a taxi and the driver was Clara Rose Gribler who chattered about her boy friends all the way out to the zoo. Here I began looking at all the different animals. From the zoo I felt an urge to see some excitement. I was inforrned that there was a very good show a few blocks away so I decided to take it in. One of the main fea- tures was a high wire act: with no high wires. Peggy Clouse was the wire walker who really held the audience spellbound. But the next act is what gave me the sur- prise of my life when out danced Gene Baker and Norma Lee Smith singing the 12th Street Rag. I was enjoying the program so well that I decided to stay for the midnight follies. The torch singer was none other than Patty Lee singing Slipping Around . Then to put the final touch on the follies the famous tap dancer Bill Marbaugh really stole the show. l then went straight to the hotel, exhausted from my days' experience. As I stepped into the elevator there was Esther Schumm an elevator girl. She told me that in her spare time she sang duets with Margaret Trurnan. I asked her where I could find Susie Cowan and she said, Why, yes, Susie is a private secretary in a Home for Bachelor girls. She also gives advice to the lovelorn in her spare time. The next morning I decided to take in the circus there. The main feature was Bonnie Brasher the lion tamer. She does quite well considering the fact that the lions are only three weeks old. Another old classmate, Phil Hileman is known as the fat-man. He also sharpens the gorillas teeth between acts. After seeing such horrifying acts I felt very much in need of a large dinner. After wandering through the streets for several blocks I saw a sign that read, Fuzzy's Funhouse which by the way is the name of a restaurant owned by Eugene Bienz. He studied the art of cooking for three years in France. While eating I noticed Martha Schaffner who is employed as the head waitress. After leaving the restaurant I bought a newspaper. The headlines read of a great basketball tearn who won their game last night by the score of 5 to 3. After reading closely I discovered Gerald Hoblet is their coach. The next page was a large advertisement of Caffee's Reducing Plan . It was in- vented by none other than Dr. Don Caffee. Don said that if it had not been for this reducing plan he wouldn't have the wonderful physique he has now. As I was read- ing the paper I stumbled over a baby carriage. This startled me and as I gathered my wits I realized that the mother was the former Letta Walls. And as I looked 16 inside I saw a set of twins. Letta says she is very happy taking care of her hubby and nine children. Letta also told me of Ruth Kreischer's Swanky Dress Shop. I was on my way to Ruth's dress shop when I heard a lot of chat and chatter and looking around there was Professor Vernie Luginbill with his college students. I crowded my way toward him but only managed to wave at him. Such an important man has little time for visiting. Before getting on my plane for Fort Wayne I realized there was one more place I must visit and that was Ned Byer's Famous Skunk Farm at the edge of the city. His entrance fee was a scent , and you could stay as long as you like. I only stayed a very short time and then went to the airport to get on my plane. While boarding the plane a very familiar family followed me up the gang plank. Here was the class sponsor of 1950, Bob Games with six of his own boys, Bob, John, Larry, Jack, Mike, and George. They had been playing professional basket ball at Madison Square Gardens. We visited and talked all the way back to Fort Wayne. I got out of the plane and was soon on my way back home to Willshire.

This indeed was not an unpleasant task. but as news, pic- tures and other material was collected and the construction be- gan, we realize that much hard work and worry were involved. We have striven, in the following pages to make this ann- ual a sort of school memory and history book combined. The degree of our successfulness will be measured by the degree of your enjoyment. 1 Industrial Arts Something new has been added. Yes, we have begun an Industrial Arts shop with the students serving as car- penters. We all feel very proud of their progress. 'JIU 'E as msg? V - -.. INXS-,f . ,, rx Chemwtry Let's experiment!

ROBERT GAMES Four arnazingly short years ago, this year's graduating class was a bewildered bunch of green freshies. Mr. Games was also new in our high school and unaware of the possible consequences accepted the appoint- ment as sponsor of the Freshman Class. The first year must not have proved too exasperating to him for again the next year he answered to the title of Soph- omore sponsor. We felt very proud to have such a capable and amiable advisor and when he led us through our Junior year with its play, reception, paper drives and other activities without collapsing, we were quite certain he could withstand the next year. This he has done to perfection. We dedicate this years Willow as an attempt to try and express to him our appreciation for his four years of untiring guidance. 2 : f gggum iv- 0' .AQ 'd A J ,..--'U' , -1 ,gr A Q .5 ,Y 'Y ,Q PATTY LEE Senicx BEVERLY CLOUSE Sophomore Freshman Junior HALLOWEEN QUEEN , In the fall the Freshman and the Sophomores sponsored i a Halloween Festival .
