SCI-H"1lDT ! F?F2EIF4 P1lF2bEEY l'l'Il0'l1S On September 5, l955, l22 freshmen entered Alexandria High School, and vowed they would never be like any of their predecessors. Unfortunately, they broke their vows, and started at once to get lost. Within a few weeks after the begin- ning of school, this class lost its timidity and pulled the Sophomores through Pipe Creek in the annual tug-of-war. This was only the beginning. The same group, as Sophomores, was able to make its imprint on the minds of the lofty upper classmen by acting a little less green and using a little more common sense. Several attempts were made at having class parties, but they didn't meet with much success. There was a decrease in class membership to lOS students. In September, 1957, the foremost thought in the minds of the Junior class num- bers was the Junior-Senior Reception. Class officers for this year were Bill Hale, president, Barbara Nay, vice-president, Fred Trueblood, secretary, and Dorothy Donahue, treasurer. At the beginning of the school year, plans were made for several money-making schemes and under the guidance of R. W. Ihne, and Miss Emma Phillips, sponsors, enough money was made to give the Seniors a reception and still have money for the next year. Several Junior dances were held and although they were mainly for mak- ing money, they also helped to bring the entire school together. A revival of the indoor carnival was staged by the Mothers' Club and the Junior class. Bingo, a fish pond, cake-walk, and side shows were featured. NIt's Papa Who Pays' was the play given by the Junior class. The main event of the year was the Junior-Senior Reception, held at the Roberts Hotel in Muncie.

Everyone of them is eager to get start- ed in life, yet a little reluctant to leave Alexandria High School. The officers of'the class are president, Fred Schmidtg vice-president, Warren Shirley, secreta- ry, David Reevesg and treasurer, Bette Prewette. Student Council members are Olive Oliver, Jack Beemer, and Bob Rothinghouse. Contrary to the custom of former years, the graduating class took over ice cream, coca cola, and candy sales in order to make enough money for a trip. A benefit show was held the 25th of April and on May 1, the class play, "Button, Button", was presented. The last mile was drawing to a close May 21, when Baccalaureate services were held. On the 23rd of May the Crm- mencement marked the end of the reign of this class in Alexandria High School. EUGENE EROBST PHYLLIS FREEIWAH fww-,WJ ELIZABETH ZETTE L. D U A .-.E EBATLER Hg RMM.

The members were all eager to show the rest of the high School that they were ma.e of the kind of stuff that would get them someplace. Led by Enid Durziisky, Eddie Yclinnis, and Jim Vogel, as president, vice-president, and secretary-treevurer, respectively, they had num- ereur Swccessfwl parties. They, in their turn, pulled the fcphumerv. of tiet year into Qipe Zreek, dwrinf the tug-of-war. This ect wen repeated in their Sophomore ,ear when they vuiied the incoming freshmen throxgh the creek.

Their greatest pleasure waw'found in making the lives of the new freshman miserable, but ala , they met their waterloo, at which time a few fell overboard, when they were pulled through the creek at the annual tug-of-war. Following their period of fun, the sophomores settled down to MU'lH9ST an their officers and student council members. Mr. Stuckey and Yiss French were app be faculty advisers. Feeling the need of some money, as well as pleasure, the class sponrorei party at the Anderson rink, which proved to be a successful venture. With two years of high school behind it, the sophomore class, which is me only of brains but brawn, has added much to Tiger squads, will probably bring m to A. H. S. before its departure.

Four members ere selected by the teaching staff and six members are elected by the students. At the beginning of the school year the Student Council forms a schedule for the yearly activity programs. Because of the crowded conditions in our school, it was necessary to hold most of the programs in the ugymnasium. Among the outstanding speakers was E. A. Rowell, who spoke on 'Marijuana and other Drugs.' The exhibition of folk dancing, tumbling, and track work, given by the physical education classes, was also much enjoyed. A school handbook, published by the Student Council this year, has proved very helpful not only for informing newcomers of the rules and customs of the school but for collecting and recording information that is often needed about personnel cour- ses, credits, and organizations. In an effort to improve the condition of the building, the council has supere vised bulletin boards and arranged for a series of posters suggesting neetness, cleanliness, and order. These posters were made by the art class and exhibited in the halls. By selling pop corn at ball games, members of the Student Council earned money for their pins. The officers are: president, Enid Durzinskyg secretary-treasurer, Charles Bene nett. Other members are: Jack Beemer, Bob Rothinghouse, Olive Oliver, Harold Gale, Earl French, Bob Fraundorfer, Lillian Orme, and June Muey.

Through the experience and knowle ge of Miss Catherine Immcl, faculty aiviser, the members have learned much concerning the composition and background of a good photograph. In learning this, the member: experimented with table top pictures and special lighting effects, which proved to be very interesting.

HIGH SCHOOL BAND Last year the band, in class D competition, placed first in that division at the spring district contest held at Greenfield. As an awarl, the band was presented with a beautiful wooden plaque inscribed with gold letters. There are four classes for bands: A, B, C, and D. The first three are determined by enrollment in the indi- vidual schools, but class D is for those bands which have been organized less than one year. Under the competent guidance of Mr. Claude Musselman, the band participa- ted in the contest which was held this year at Rushville on April 15. The band worked toward having a spring concert after the contest. The band played for all home basketball games and had been invited to play at the Alexandria-Muncie game, which was cancelled because of the influenza epidemic. Because the band was a good marching organization as well as a concert bend, it was in great demand by political organizations for parades and campaigns. Money earned in this way was used for new music. The instrumentation has been increased only slightly by the addition of new drums. Plans for the band to earn funds for sousaphones, a bassoon, and possibly a bass clarinet are in progress. Although there are a greater number of students interested in band work, a group of twelve have been holding weekly orchestra meetings with Mr. Musselman. Be- cause of the scarcity of string instruments, it was necessary to keep this group small. Its members work more for the enjoyment of finer music than for public per- formance. f:-111 PHILATELIC CLUB Many students have taken up stamp collecting as a hobby through interest in the Philatelic Club. Not only do they learn about the stamps themselves, but they get a background of historical, geographical, and artistic knowledge from their stamp work. The members learn to classify stamps and to determine watermarks and perfora- tions. To keep up with the stamp news, the club subscribed to the Mekeel's Stamp News, which tells of the issuance of stamps from other nations. Meetings are held once a week at the noon hour in room l2. Under the direction of Mrs. Katie Slone, their sponsor, the members obtained special first day covers for many new stamps. Among these were those commemorating Will Rogers, and covers from the San Francisco Fair and the New York Fair. An exhibit of stamps commemorating the constitutional celebration was held last winter. About ten different nations put out special stamps for the celebration of the constitutional anniversary. The club has no dues and has open membership and meetings. The present officers are: President, Harry May, Secretary, Betty Jo Millspaugh. GIRL RESERVES The Alexandria Girl aeserxe cnapter wa: organized C. A. in 1927 by seventeen girls. It has increased in has l5O enrolled. The officers are: president, Frances Durzinskyg secretary, Sara Painterg treasurer, Dorothy Roxana Frazier and Miss Marjorie Foster. and affiliated with the Y. W. membership every year and now Whetselg vice-president, Enid Smith. The sponsors are Miss Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month. They consist usually of a S eech and two or more musical numbers. One of the most outstanding programs was a P talk on Settlement Work given by Mrs. William Campbell, who is noted for her inter- est in younger girls and their problems. A special program war given in February in the form of a style show. Costumes, proper and improper, were modeled for different occasions. On January 25, nine girls attended a joint conference of Girl Reserves and Hi-Y members, held at Richmond. The theme of the conference was: Youth Looks at a New World. The principal speaker war Dr. E. C. Cline, who spoke on the subject: Youth of Tomorrow and their Encounters. Every summer the club sends two delegates to Camp Sing Along at Columbus City. In the week spent in the camp, the girls learn how to make their club more success- ful. The Girl Reserve insignia is the blue triangle of the Y. W. C. A. with the let- ters 'G. R.N inscribed within. S L, FRENCH CLUB There are two divisions of the French Club this year because of the large clas- ses. Meetings are held once a month during the regular class period. Almost every member has a foreign correspondent. In this way it is hoped that the club can help to promote a friendly and more understanding spirit toward all foreign countries. A novel Christmas banquet was held in December according to French customs. Mm- demoiselles Balmin, Paldiouras and Malliet, French friends of Miss Emma Phillips, faculty adviser, sent recipes for French dishes, and Monsieur Juan Noriega, maitre d'hotel on the S. S. Champlain, furnished a French cook book, La Bonne Cuisine. The dinner was prepared by the Home Economics class, under the direction of Miss Foster. With the assistance of Miss Catherine Immel, unique place cards were made by the members. The club participated in two activity programs. The first was given in December and consisted of the singing of French Christmas carols, among them Il est ne le devin enfant Jouez hauts bois, resonnez musettes, Il est ne le devin enfant Chantons tous son avenenant Depuis plus de quatre mille ans, Nous le promettaient les prophetes Depuis plus de quatre mille ans Nous attendions cet heureux temps. The second activity program was the play, 'La Faim est un Grand Inventeur.' The group has worked extensively with puppets. They have made their own dolls and stage, and have presented numerous shows, the most outstanding being at the an- nual art exhibit. Officers of the first division are: president, Orville Johnsong Vice-president Albert Hughes, secretary of foreign correspondence, Paul Jackson. The second divi- sion officers are: president, Martha D. Boyleg vice-president, Gene Richardson, se- cretary of foreign correspondence, Evelyn Wilson. -1... - ...-. , I sz "ff BILL.
