South School Students who won the Great Behavior Lunch with the Mayor!

South Middle School students from Mr. Levek and Mr. Plessinger's science classes have been studying alternative energy. Students were tasked with researching a type of alternative energy, how it worked, a suitable location for, and pros and cons of that energy. Some students built their alternative energy to show that the energy really "does work". Meaning the energy harnessed will actually complete a task even if it isn't used to create electricity. Great work students and staff of South Middle School!

Congratulations to our National Board Teacher, Mrs. Townsend!

We are proud of her hard work and dedication to her profession and her students. Thank you Mrs. Townsend.

Greenville High School Theatre Club

Greenville High School Theatre Club is currently in rehearsal for their fall production. This year they have an exciting murder mystery to share with the public, entitled: “This Isn’t A Murder Mystery, It’s A Massacre!” This highly comical play was written by one of their own actors, Kent Holmes, a junior at GHS who writes and produces his own films. Kent is also a GHS tennis player and soccer player, and a member of Men’s Choir and Key Club, to name a few of his many activities.

“This Isn’t A Murder Mystery” is a Monty Python meets Agatha Christie type of play. There are many characters, most of them likeable, and a plot with enough twists and turns to make Sherlock Holmes dizzy. Set in the 1940’s, during WWII, the plot brings us to the office of two private eyes: Sam Donsile and Jack Snips. Their clients are in for a lot more intrigue than they realized, once they set foot in the foyer. But with your help, the mystery will be solved! The club invites you to join them for this farcical romp, presented November 20th and 21st, at 7:00 pm in Celebration Theatre at GHS. Tickets will be available at the door for $5.00.

GHS Theatre Club boasts 40 members, every one of them a star. They rehearse, build, write, and perform four plays every year: the fall production, a contest piece for Area and State Conferences, the spring production which will take place at Memorial Hall once again this year, and the children’s performance offered to all area elementary students. Club advisers this year are: Cheryl Collins, Tory Martin, and Chris Phillips. Additional info on the troupe can be found on facebook.

INDUSTRIOUS STUDENT

BUILDS COMPUTER

AT HOME

What does an industrious student do over the summer? Why, build a computer of course. That’s what Miles Halley, a current senior in Mr. Bob Warner’s Greenville High School’s Computer Information Systems class (CIS), did!

The purpose of the CIS program is to introduce the students to industry’s standards in software and to work in lab settings to simulate real world situations. CIS is also a tech prep program which means that students take academic courses as well as career-technical courses (employable skills courses). When successfully completing this two-year program, students earn college credits while still attending high school and are eligible for scholarships to Edison or Sinclair Community Colleges.

Halley built a functioning computer out of Legos and scrap computer parts. The design for his plan began in his junior CIS class taught by Mr. Nathan Sharp. Building the Lego computer was going to be a class project but time restraints prohibited the completion of the project. Halley, a diligent student, took it upon himself to build a replica on his own during the summer break. He even added a USB port. Halley named his computer “Skittles” after the original model. Halley remarked, “It took me five days to build. The biggest challenge in building it was getting all the Legos to fit in place. I built it all myself, with the exception of the clear plastic top and front on the case. These were added to make it possible to view the working parts. My dad helped me to cut and Velcro the plastic to the Legos.”

When asked how he felt about his accomplishment, he replied, “I learned a lot in Mr. Sharp’s junior class. That knowledge was very important in putting the computer together. Building the computer on my own has given me confidence. I’m looking forward to my senior CIS class.”

Upon graduation, Halley hopes to pursue a career in game designing, program designing, or computer repairs.

"The Tidal Wave" The Original Story by Tom Hanes

The Tidal Wave, a story…
In addition to my being a partner in the Law Firm of Spidel, Staley, Hole and Hanes, 210 Weaver Building; I was the Safety Director of the City of Greenville Ohio during the four terms of Mayor Tillman Hathaway in the 1960's. As such, I was responsible for the administration of the police department and the fire department as well as the public welfare in the City of Greenville.
I became familiar with the men and equipment in both safer departments. The fire department had a contract to provide fire protection to Greenville Township and in return the township would periodically provide a fire truck to the fire department. It was a general purpose truck and was the first truck to go to a fire. In the late 50's the prior administration had purchased a Mack ladder truck which took the second stall in the old City Building. The Quad was sent to the South Park Station into semi-refit, it had become a backup piece of equipment. In 1939, when new, the Quad was the latest in fire truck technology. It was made by American LaFrance, had a long bonnet or hood which contained a straight 12 cylinder gasoline engine. The Quad got its name by virtue of its four purposes. It was a ladder truck, carried a large quantity of hoses, carried the chemicals and had a huge pump. Thus it was a long piece of equipment The Quad had always had problems with the engine overheating when pumping for long periods of time. But it was running in 1969.
My wife Jean and I attended all the football games except during heavy rain, and then I would go with several of our friends. I swear there were nights when we guys, huddled in ponchos, were the only people in the stands. The ladies played bridge and waited for us to come home. To top it all off, "The Wave" was in a major slump, there were loss, loss, and more losses.
I think it was about 1969 when Bud Stegall, a contractor, plumber and trucker, Jim Thwaits, (GHS 53) who owned Thwaits' Floor Fashion, and I got together in my law office one night and talked. First the idea was trying to work with the boosters. The others had tried that so we decided to start a new organization and see what we could do to shake things up and get the community involved. For the lack of a better name, we called it the TIDAL WAVE.
I had been an artillery officer in Korea and thus was familiar with things that go bang. So I suggested a brass cannon to be fired when the Wave scored. I got my brother in law Tom Staley, (GHS '53) a skilled wood worker, to make a wooden model of a cannon barrel about eighteen inches long. I then took it to Red Wogoman who owned and operated the Arcanum Brass Foundry. He cast the cannon. It came home as a rough sand casting. Then I talked my friend Carl Fair, a local machinist and gun expert, to put it on the lathe and turn it down. Also he was to bore it for a 75 caliber slug complete with an ignition hole. Thus we could fuse it and fire black powder. Bud Stegall made a carriage for the cannon and we were in business. Our idea was to fire the cannon when the team came on to the field, at the raising of the flag with the Star Spangled Banner, and with each touchdown. The problem was that there were no or very few touchdowns and we usually ended up firing it at the end of the game to clear the tube.
In late 1970 l got a call from Bill McCullough, then, our long time Congressional Representative in the old 4`' District He said "Tom, you have never asked for anything for the work you did for me in Vietnam." At Bill's personal requests I had gone to Vietnam 1967 to defend John Wagner, a young Darke

County Marine charged with a murder and thirty two other counts of various military malfeasances. John Wagner was convicted only of unlawful discharge of his weapon. He was guilty of that offence. Bill continued by saying "I am getting out of office the first of the year and I will be, ‘a has been'. Can I do anything for you?" My answer was "no". We had a nice chat and I wished him well and said to enjoy his very much deserved retirement from congress.
In a flash, I thought, I wondered if Bill could get cannon for me. I called him back and made that request He said, "A what?" After I explained what I wanted it for he said he would see what he could do. Shortly, he called back and told me I would soon be getting a call from Major General Rasmussen, the Chief of Army Ordnance. It may sound strange in 2007, but that was how Bill McCullough operated as our Representative to Congress. Personal notes and phone calls were his stock in trade.
Bill was right, I got the call and again, "what and why" was asked. I explained what I wanted the cannon for and he told me point blank it would have to be demilitarized and made inoperable. That meant the gas and oil would be drained in the recoil mechanism and the breech block welded shut at our expense. I said, "CI, what does that cost". The answer was $110.00 dollars. He had located several 75 mm pack howitzers at Lefterkenny Arsenal in Pennsylvania and asked if I knew what they were. My answer was yes; l had about 30,000 rounds worth of experience with one. He could not believe that I explained that I had served with the 537th FA Battalion in Camp Carson CO which fired the 100,000 round test to establish the probable error of the new fire direction fan. He knew immediately what I was talking about and we chatted about the system. I told him we had used the system very successfully in Korea with the Big 8's (eight inch howitzers) of the 424th FA Battalion. The General said, "Ol , you can have one", but he needed a certified bank draft and I would need to arrange and pay for the transportation. We agreed and he said one of his staff would get back to me. In addition there was a requirement that a de-militarized weapon could only be given to a local government or a local veteran's organization. He required something certified by a city official or one of the veteran's organizations. I told him that would not be a problem. It was not. I talked to Dick Hole (GHS 55), my law partner and now Safety Director of Greenville. We went to Mayor Dan Hawley (GHS) and explained our problem. He said, "No problem", he called the City Solicitor, Paul Younker, and told him to draft a formal letter for his signature. He wanted the city requesting and accepting a 75mm pack howitzer to serve as a war memorial. He wanted it right now! The letter was dated 16 December 1970.
The pack howitzer was ideal for us. It had been developed as light artillery between the World Wars for use by mounted troops and could be broken down into six pieces and carried by six mules. They were used mostly in WWII by airborne troops and were pulled by a jeep or a weapons' carrier. It could be man handled if necessary and was by the Marines.
There was a basketball game that night and I called Bud and Jim and told them we needed $110.00. We agreed to go to the game and collect $1.00 at a time from people and it look all of ten minutes. When we got $110.00, we quit people were tired of losing many tried to give us more but we said "NO'... the idea was to get as many people involved as possible.
The cannon arrived in Greenville several weeks later in a reefer semi. When the driver, a friend of Stegall's, hit the Ohio scales he was about 1000 pounds overweight. The cannon weighed 1340 pounds. The Ohio State Patrol pulled him over. He explained he had the cannon for friends in Greenville who were starting a new booster organization for high school athletics. He had just picked the cannon up at Letterkenny Arsenal. The trooper said "if he opened the back of the truck and looked down a cannon barrel, then the driver could go on his way". When the doors opened that night; the trooper looked down the cannon barrel and laughed and said "get out of here". The driver did! Bud towed it to the City Hall the next morning and I went to look at it He kept the original Bill of Safe, a copy of which is enclosed.
We took the cannon down to Carl Fair's machine shop and I made arrangements to meet with Carl and explain what was needed, where to cut and left the how to him.
About the same time we came to realize that we needed a vehicle. Dick Hole II (GHS 55) was my law partner, and also the new mayor's Safety Director. Doc Hathaway had died, in my arms, giving a speech at a political meeting on the eve of the election a couple of years before; I think that was in 1968. Dick told me the Quad was about to go to heaven because the engine had blown again and the City Council had agreed to replace the truck. The Tidal Wave went to the council meeting and explained our need and what we were trying to accomplish. They agreed to sell it to us for one dollar, but we had to tow it away. That dollar was raised by taking a jug to the high school and putting it into the Principal's office and asking for donations of one red cent, a penny. No dimes, no nickels, just pennies. We picked up the jug and it was full. We took 100 pennies to Gene Gruber, the City Auditor for payment of the fire truck. The balance went to the Community Chest That way every kid who put in a penny thought he/she had a share of the truck. It worked.
Council passed Resolution NO. 70-96 on the 17th of November 1970. The title was transferred to me as Trustee for the Tidal Wave, a nonprofit organization. As far as l know, l still am the title holder.
I got Jay Schieding of Jay's Towing to tow it to McClain Inc's fenced-in yard on Front Street I had talked to my friend Herb McClain and interested him in pulling the pump and the bed out of the truck. This he did. Then I found out from Chief Ken Lehman of the GFD that Covington KY had an American LaFrance of the same vintage that had a good running engine with a bad pump. I bought the unit for about a $100 but we had to tow it home. Again, my friend Jay came to my rescue and went to Covington and pulled it home to McClain's yard.
Then again, both fire trucks were towed by Jay to Greenville Manufacturing, a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Aggregates Corporation, a large, local gravel and concrete company. Max Shoemaker was the Chief engineer and had sons in the athletic programs. He said he would see that the engine was replaced. This involved a special made (28 foot by my memory) drive shaft because the old drive shaft had to run to the pump and then a second shaft ran on to the rear axle.
He ordered it and American Materials paid for it. Ed Hole was the Chairman of the board at the time and he watched all details, however small. He caught this weird expense and called Max and asked what vehicle this driveshaft was going to be put into. Max explained to Ed what he was doing and what the Tidal Wave was up to and who was involved Ed laughed and said go ahead.
The concept of community involvement thus had begun. People wanted to help and came forward to volunteer. We added some new primary members also. Don Cain, an industrial engineer at Lewisburg Container, Jim McCombs who at that time was a painter, and later a mailer, Dick Marker who worked at Corning, Jim Coverstone who worked with Jim Thwaits, Jay Niswonger who fanned and worked in town and Bud Oiler who happened to own a WW II jeep. There were others who pitched in when we needed extra help but those men were the basic crew. The weekly meetings were moved to the library of my law office in order to hold everyone now involved
I think it was Bud Stegall who came up with the idea of feeding the football team before the away games at different restaurants. We had no problem in people coming forward to pay for those meals. Business men and individuals came and ask what they could do.
The same held true for the gasoline for the "Wave Wagon" as it came to be called and believe me it was a guzzler of fuel with those 12 big cylinders banging away.
Insurance was going to be a problem, for us and the rolling equipment. I had been insured with Littman Thomas since I came home from law school to the practice. I talked to Dick Thomas, my insurance man and he told me no problem, the Greenville Association of independent Insurance Agents had already discussed the issue and they would see that a proper policy was issued to us. Again, we were getting community involvement people were involved.
The work was going well on both the cannon and the fire truck. I showed Carl where to cut, and he did, and we got the sliding breech block working perfectly. The way it was made and the welding of the mechanism by the Ordnance people made it a tedious job. Carl was a machine shop genius and had the equipment He was able to detach the firing lock mechanism and we found out the cylinder was empty of the necessary parts to make the lock work. That problem was solved by a call to John Caron (GHS `50), an army Lieutenant Colonel who was then going to Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth Kansas. I shipped the empty lock to John and it soon came back with the proper parts. I knew they had them (pack 75s) because when we visited John and his wife Barbara (GHS' 50) Feltrnan Caron there, I had gone to the Forts formal retreat, and the 75mm howitzer was the retreat gun they used. We made no attempt to open the recoil mechanism or other parts that had been de-militarized. We would gain nothing. We left them alone.
Carl made two steel slugs the size of a 75mm shell casing then hollowed out part of the center and chambered the slugs so an empty 12 gauge shot gun shell could be inserted in the base to provide ignition for the black powder, which we had determined, was the best medium to fire the cannon.
It all came together and it was time to try out the cannon. Carl's machine shop was down on Hiddeson Avenue close to Front Street We got some empty shot gun shells with new primers provided by Howard Fansler, a local contractor, who was a member of the Greenville Trap shooters. Carl had the black powder. We tried everything with dry fire first it worked. Next, the trial with just the shotgun shell. The lock worked, the primer fired. Then, after inserting a blank shotgun shell with a new primer into one of the slugs; we put in some black powder, tamped it down well with a paper towel and pulled the lanyard and did it work. We woke up half of Greenville from their afternoon naps. The police were soon there to investigate and after we explained, they laughed and told us to practice out of town and quit waking up the citizens from their afternoon naps. It did make quite a boom.
Earl Bedwell, was a local man who worked for the Standard Oil pipeline company that ran through Darke County. He approached me one day and asked, 'Would I like to have a WWII gunner's lanyard?" He had one and would give it to me. Earl had been an artilleryman in WWII, a member to the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles". It had been in his pocket when he landed on D Day in a glider with his 75mm Pack Howitzer, behind the German lines of defense, to the rear of Omaha beach. It still is firing the cannon.
The Wave Cannon was stored in one of the garages under the high school football bleachers. To my knowledge it still is.
I had a sign made for the cannon with a statement, from memory, ""This cannon is a rolling memorial to the men and women who served in the Armed Forces of the USA." That may not be exact, but it is close.
Max Shoemaker called and said the fire truck was done and road tested, and when did I want to pick it up? I said "soon". It was running beautifully, all equipped with new batteries and a new exhaust system. That big old engine just purred. The exhaust rumbled and grumbled very pleasantly. The Tidal Wave crew spent an evening under the direction of Bud installing the running lights to meet state code Someone had donated the lights and wire.

We had been keeping the Wave Wagon in Herb McClain's fenced yard but I was looking for a roof. Found one at the old Children's Home which had burned some years before. There was a huge garage with overhead doors that would take the Wave Wagon. The County Engineer, Jim Surber, told me about the garage and suggested I follow up on it. I was the Prosecuting Attorney of Darke County at the time and went to the Commissioners' and ask if we could use it, They said yes, and ask about liability. I assured them we were covered by insurance and got them a copy of the policy.
Below is the only picture I have of the Wave Wagon.

John and Barb (Feltman) Caron, both GHS graduates, are in the cab. Their children, Julie and Mike and Chris, who are standing in the bed, and my daughter, Cathy (GHS'74), is sitting on the rail with two of the Clippinger girls, Patty and Sarah, who are behind Chris Caron. The picture was taken at our house on the corner of Parkview and Russ Road.
The "Greenie" is located over the former pump outlet. The bed is part of the remodeling process by Herb McClain and was originally where the hose, ladders and chemicals were stored. We left the dials and pump controls simply because there was no reason not to. The rest is "original" as we got the truck. The bubble gum machine revolving tight was a fire department add on, the siren was original as were the spot lights.
Dick Marker was responsible for the "Wave Wagon" being painted bright green by the people who worked at Corning. The Treaty arrowhead was saved in that painting.
This truck bed would hold the entire football team and the cheerleaders' and it has many times.
Now we had another problem to solve. We had to figure out a way to hitch the cannon to the fire truck. The cannon had a ring for towing. We needed a GI hook up to fasten to the Wave Wagon and one was scrounged up somewhere and put on the truck We were ready for the coming football season with our rolling stock
First, l want to relate a side light. There is a street that runs from Harmon Avenue past the tennis courts and to the high school. I cannot remember the name or even if it had one. The Tidal Wave decided that the street needed a new name. I went to Mayor Hawley and ask if that would be a problem. He said he would check and get back with me. He did, and the answer was "no problem". So we held a naming contest won by the Wave cheerleaders; Mary Ann Boli, Kathy Powell, Peggy Crawford, Cindy Heinrich and Connie Cox. The name they came up with was the "Green Wave Way". The City Council approved the ordinance we submitted and the street had a new sign put up with a ceremony. We had a number of suggestions but that was the best one.
Another side light to our activities; we had no problem getting a vehicle title for the Wave Wagon, a historical tag, no less. The cannon however was another problem. I called Lt. Kinney, then the Commander of the Preble/Darke Post of the Ohio State Patrol. I asked him how to get a license for the cannon. There was hesitation and finally he said, `Tom, you cannot license a cannon, there is no provision for it, it is not a trailer". After some conversation and my telling him what and why l needed a license, he laughed. He said he would work out something. He did. On away games 1 would call him and tell him where we were going and what route we would be taking. He would then alert that Post of the OSP that the idiots from Greenville would be towing a non-operable cannon on their highways that night behind a big old fire truck. He got a big kick out of the whole thing.
The Wave football was part of the Miami Valley League. My wife Jean Staley (GHS `48) Hanes was on the school board and on the committee to find and hire a new coach. They did, a man from Sidney by the name of Tom Holman.
Holman came with a purpose; revitalize the football program and the high school. And he did from day one. He had the boys working with a will to win that carried them into a winning season, game by game. They won every game. As I recall, we always played Celina for the first game. We took the cannon, towed by the Wave Wagon to the game it was a beautiful fall evening. Sam Spidel (GHS' 72), son of my senior partner Wilbur D. Spidel, was the quarterback. The team did well and the cannon fired and fired. Greenville won.
During the game, we discussed what to do if they won…the answer was a parade, that night. I had already alerted the Greenville Police Department, the Darke County Sheriff's office and the Ohio State Patrol that if Greenville won, we would assemble a parade out on the US127 bypass and tour the town. The team won. We got the Wave Wagon on the road and headed to Greenville to start lining the cars up off the highway. The different law enforcement agencies were on hand to assist. Everything went well, the school busses with the team and band showed up and took a place behind the Wave Wagon. We took the time to load the team in the Wave Wagon and we paraded up and down the streets of Greenville with a lot sirens wailing away. Jim Irvin, the Sheriff could recognize the Wave Wagon because of the old style siren that wound down up and down as opposed to the more modem electronic sirens on the rest of the equipment.
That was the first of many parades with the Wave Wagon and a Green Wave sports team. This is a tradition that continues to this day.
Driving the Wave Wagon soon proved to be a real pain for any long distance. There was no power steering thus it was hard to steer. Plus, as the beautiful fall became cold, the open cab was freezing. Then the old transmission had to be double clutched and there was no heater. Bud Oiler's Jeep was just as cold. To the rescue came Jim McCombs, who had just bought a new pickup truck. He had a hole cut in the bumper for a receiver. He towed the cannon to the away games in comfort. We would have the Wave Wagon available on short notice to lead the parade after each win. The parades got longer and longer with each win. It got to the point that the tail was still out by the Children's Home road when the Wave Wagon got to the High School after winding around half of Greenville. We had fun!
Greenville High School football team won Miami Valley League Championship in 1971. UNDEAFETED!

Can the Tidal Wave take credit…the answer is No! Did we contribute to the community and getting its people recommitting themselves to supporting the high school sports teams…thus the high school and kids…I believe the answer is…YES!

It was just as much fun for us big kids as it was the kids. I feel the Tidal Wave provided the spark that set everything off…
I remember several things about the cannon crew. We took turns on the cannon crew, and it always amazed us when Greenville would score at the other end of the field. How the faces of the crowd would reflect light as everyone looked at the same time to watch the cannon fire. The cannon would fire smoke rings with regularity. -
The high school was negotiating to enter a new league. The rules were written to exclude the cannon from all games played away from home; the opposition felt it gave Greenville too much of an edge. We, of the Tidal Wave would agree…
It has been thirty six years since those events. The Tidal Wave made its peace with the booster organization and was disbanded, the cannon still fires with a new crew and Wave Wagon still parades with the boys and girls of various teams having been refurbished several times. But those are other stories that others need to tell.
In reflection, it has always amazed me how the tickle finger of fate, writing in the shifting sands of time, could bring together the people, the kids, and bring together a first time head football coach who wanted to win football games, and a group of young men who wanted to believe that they could win football games. That in turn caused a "special twist of fate" to happen to a bunch of young men on a high school football team, as well as the students and people of Greenville. As it did in 1971!
In its short life, "The Tidal Wave", gave this, as our legacy, to our city, our school and our kids…
GO WAVE!!!!

A NEW TIDAL WAVE - THE HIGH 5 MOVEMENT

High Five For Wave Pride … A New Tidal Wave
The pastor of my church preached a sermon not long ago entitled “Legacy or Lunacy.” As he was talking about traditions (both good and bad) we have inherited and those we are currently passing on to a younger generation, I began thinking about an article that was emailed to me back in June. It was entitled, “The Tidal Wave, a story….” It was written by Tom Hanes and supplemented by the memories of Jean L. Hanes (GHS ’48), Bud Stegall, Mike Stegall (GHS ’72), Jim McCombs, and Amy Bedwell (GHS ’77) Erisman.
In it, he reminisces about how the Wave Cannon we hear today at our football games, the old fire truck known as the Wave Wagon that carries our players and cheerleaders in parades, and the street known as Green Wave Way came into existence. It is an interesting account of a group of people who began a group they called “Tidal Wave.” They, as Mr. Hanes put it, “…wanted to shake things up to see what they could do to get the community involved.” At the conclusion of the article, he made a statement that really struck me. He said, “In our short life, the Tidal Wave gave this as our legacy to our city, our school, our kids….” I am as a graduate of Greenville High School, a leader in the school district, and community member, a beneficiary of this great legacy and now someone who wants to, as that group did a number of years ago, “shake things up.”
The “High Five for Wave Pride” campaign is intended to do what the Tidal Wave did years ago, refocus our community’s eyes on our kids and schools. The negative perception that has cast its shadow over the district for the past several years must no longer be allowed to exist. Too many positive things are going on everyday. I have had the privilege to observe from an internal perspective the efforts our students and staff have put forth to improve themselves in the classroom and in extra-curricular contests of every kind. Additionally, I am even more pleased when I hear about the community service work many of them perform as individuals or as part of an organized group. High Five is intended to effectively communicate this information to the entire community.
While the Tidal Wave’s existence was short lived, I am planning a much longer life span for the High Five movement. You will continue to see and hear more about how our students, families, staff, businesses, and the community are working together to move Greenville City Schools to the next level. I want our kids to realize that they are never too young to leave or be a part of leaving a legacy of which they can be proud. One that many years later, they can fondly recall just like the individuals from the Tidal Wave.
