Dedication Since our book is a comic theme we do hereby dedicate it to our biggest comic BASIL HOLMES His informal classes and little jokes and pranks have made him a character to our gang. We will remember Mr. Holmes and his unpredictable recitations and outlinesg they will help equip us on our long hard road to success.

H. S. As Freshmen beginning the first chapter in September 1944, we sold magazines and were quite proud of this first deposit in our treasury. This year we also had an old-fashioned box supper and a picnic at Shadyside Park. Mrs. Slone, Miss Young, and Mr. Graham started our group of characters on the path to graduation. The next year found us in the senior high edition feeling very important. The class treasury swelled with money from a skating party and a dance. We had a Hallowe'en party too. Did you ever see so many ghosts? There was a picnic at Matter's Park. Re- member Joe Songer's long walk home. Miss French, Miss Hull, and Mrs. Buck were the guiding influence that kept the characters in line. Our Junior year began and we eagerly awaited the arrival of our green and white sweaters. Our rings came, too, but they were soon swapped with that special someone. Lots of Christmas cards were sent and letters written, due to our sales of cards and stationery. We spon- sored two dances after basketball games and sold ice cream for the last six weeks of school. The most memorable event of this year was our all-day trip to Purdue. Girls, you aren't allowed in the boys' dorm! At last the final installment of our comic book began. Vianna Wilson was kept busy deposit- ing money earned by selling pop, potato chips, hot dogs, popcorn, and ice cream at the games. We sponsored dances, too, and sold Tiger pins. Remember the Michigan vocabulary test? Did you ever see such big words? Our class sponsored three programs during the year. A Negro tenor, Emmanuel Mansfield was the first one. Next came the magician. Say, he surely could ride a bicycle. Last but not least was the Deep River Quartett. We all had "Soooup" on the brain for weeks. John Carver was on hand to lead us through the year and was ably assisted by Duane Knotts. We were surely proud of those grey caps and gowns. Didn't they look super on com- mencement day? Thank you, Miss French, Miss Hull, and Mr. Evans for your help in making our senior year such a big success. Your guiding forces were invaluable to us. i With these memories in our hearts, we say farewell to our days in A. H. S.

N inetcen Twenty JUNIORS Amidst the funny and serious pages of our comic book, we find the Juniors. P Leaders of the noble crowd were Bob Ankrum, presi- dentg Phyllis Hess, vice-presidentg Phil Blake, secretaryg Jeaneen Beeman, treasurer. They started the year by having a hayride. How could anyone have so much fun? Profit from two dances after basketball games, selling of Christmas cards and stationery and fountain pen and pencil sets swelled their pride and treasury. They received their class rings and sweaters this year. Gray and royal blue took the school by storm! The combined efforts of Miss Allen, Miss Bagby, and Mr. Oberholtzer made the year a successful one.

All activities were led by capable Robert Imler as presi- dent, Betty Jean Edwards as vice-president, and Loisann Hon as secretary-treasurer.

It was a common thing last September to find a seventh grader in Math class when he was supposed to be in Health class. This "Junior High Lifeu was puzzling for the newcomers but with the help of their sponsors, Miss Brannon and Mrs. Howell, who was replaced during the year by Miss Pitkin, they learned where they were supposed to be at the right time. The Eighth grade feel "right at home" for they have learned the customs and traditions of Junior High School. Their spon- sors are Mr. Holmes and Miss McCammon. Their project for the year was decorating the Junior High hall during the Christmas season. Thirty-sewn Thirty-riglzt ,ws Tf I3 Ifrarfy OUR SECRETARIES These efficent sec- retaries play an impor- tant part in our school.

OUR LIBRARY Here in our library we can find the neces- sary materials for ref- erence work and books to read for enjoyment. Miss Evelyn Hieatt. assisted by student li- brarians, is on hand to help us find just what we want. OUR JANITORS Hats off to our janitors, Herman Harris and Willis Blunk, for their unceasing work in picking up that paper which didn't go into the waste-basket and for keeping our school clean and neat. it R, ART Wliether working with metal or plastics, or making Christmas decorations and funny faces, the art class seems to enjoy it. They have produced several lovely displays under the leadership of Miss Kirkpatrick.

The girls enjoyed and profited by Miss Lutes' program on etiquette. It seemed like home to see the annual Christmas tree in the assembly. We appreciated Miss Erench's talk on guidance and counseling and enjoyed Mrs. Overpeck's book review given toward the end of the year. The group was led by Lois Yelvington as president, Joan Bennett, vice-presidentg Anne Baker, secretaryg and Phyllis Hess in charge of the money. Margaret Brown had charge of the programs for the year. HI-Y Standing: Phil Young, Mr. Ernest Buck. Seated: Merl Street, Jim Spade, Jim Arnold, Charles Cullen, Edwin Baker.

Forly-fbrvc' Forty- four SHOP DRAWIN'G CLASS If you should happen to need a semi-expert draftsman, just drop around to Mr. Oberholtzer's drawing class. He can furnish plenty of them. FLYING Duane Knotts is one of the bo s in Aeronautics Class who has re- - I n . y - . w o ceived actual flx ht ractice in connection with his studies. g p 1 a n a He has completed over fifteen hours in the air and has earned his pilot's license.

A log cabin, flatboat, covered wagon, salt map, and other attractive things were displayed in Roo-m 12. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economies Department led by Miss Betty Lutes, made an interesting display on tailoring. They designed a book showing styles of suits and important points in buying them. Other classes studied purchasing and preparation of meats. Weav- ing projects were on display too, while one class made posters in con- nection with their study of buying foods. FLYING Harold Hosier is another Aeronautics student who has several hours of flying to his credit. He is looking forward to his first solo flight.

The rampaging Tigers were vic- torious in fields of sportsmanship, team work, and the game itself, winning sixteen games and losing three. The return of eight lettermen helped spur the team on to action. The Tigers started the season by conquering the Royerton boys 49-43 on Novem- ber 12. Now they were in the swing of things. However on November 23 when the team traveled to Plymouth, the Pilgrims edged out the Tigers in a fast moving 35-39 game. After two games won over Winchester and Tipton, the Tigers lost to Gas City by 4 points. Elwood descended upon the Alexandria lair on December 16 but the Bengals were ready for them. The score was 43-34 in our favor. January the 3rd meant a lot to the Tigers. They went to Hartford City for the Annual New Year's Tournament. In the first game the Tigers beat Wabash in a hard fought game. In the finals Alex swamped Auburn 51-33 and the tournament was ours. We're really proud of our gold trophy. January 30 proved to be a ba-a-a-d day for the Tigers. The Summitville Goblins were ready to pounce upon the Bengals. They defeated the fighting Tigers 33-47. Friday, February 13, was a very lucky day for our team. They whipped Elwood for the second time this year. The score was 47-34. But the game with Wabash, February 20, was the deciding match in the Tiger records. This would determine whether or not we would be C. I. C. Champions for '48 and also challenge the Tigers perfect home-game record ..... Now everyone is proud of the Tigers. They defeated the Wabash Apaches to be the first Alexandria team ever to win the C. I. C., the county standings, and all our home games. This was the final year for five players. The boys that have played their last game for Alex are Duane Knotts, K Rayle, Jim Arnold, Ed Etchison, and Bob Clear. ' We can't leave out the boys who do a lot of work for the team. It's the student managers who are never heard about but who contribute much toward all Alexandria victories. We had two this year, Bruce Mottweiler and Don Miller who very capably helped the team at all the games.
