Hello, Sally, haven't seen you in agesl And so our story begins, with two old school friends meeting on the train which was carrying them both back home to Kendallville for their vacation. Marilyn, a famous chemist, has invented lipstick and nail polish that positively Will not come off by itself. Sally has invented a milking machine which brings the cows into the barn, milks them, separates the milk, and cleans the cans, therefore eliminating manual labor, After much discussion, they were interrupted by the conductor of the train, whom they recognized to be Donald lordan. Since the two girls stopped in Chicago, they de- cided to stay and go to the circus. Here they were sur- prised to discover that they were sitting beside Mary McWhinney, W.A.C., Donna Smith, S.P.A.R.g and Iean Miller, W.A.V.E. Before long the girls were intrigued by the crazy antics of a clown who seemed strangely familiar. Their curiosity got the best of them and, upon inquiring, they found him to be Billy Hinkley, of coursel Next, they went to the fortune teller. The fortune teller gestured them to a chair and said, What is it you wish to know? Sally said, We wish to know where all our old school friends are. Could we look in your crystall ball? The first person they saw was a fortune teller and then they knew who she was. They looked up and exclaimed, Virginia Miller! After the excitement they returned to the crystal ball. Why, there's lean Stiverf' cried Marilyn. She's playing the piano in Morris's 5 G IO. And there's Ianice Kreischer. Why, she is tap dancing with Gene Mory in the Follies of l953. The Crystal Ball was mysteriously black for a second. Then the girls saw the Kendallville library loom up before them. Margaret Diehm, the new li- brarian, seemed to be listening very intently to a person standing in front of her desk. The fortune teller told the girls that the saleslady was Gloria Piandt. lncidentally, she is selling the Helen Marshall Ency- clopediasf' Now the scene in the crystal ball shifted to a busy office of the Muesing Fertilizer Co, founded by Rob- ert Muesing. Looking again into the ball we see Clyde Whitson, manager, and his private secretary, Alice Berry, both in the firm of the Muesing Co, The next scene was a building on the M.G.M. movie lot, where they are shooting a love scene. Why, there's Phil Appleman making love to Thelma Veit.l We were then told that Don Hass had taken over Max Factors business, and was using his Hass Pan- cake Makeup with the greatest success. Carol Faux is modeling clothes in Hollywood. Ieanne Koon and Bud Rose have monopolized the hairdressing business in Hollywood. While they were looking at Hollywood, she showed them Iune Phillips' stunning dress Emporium. The two girls were running low on money, so they decided to leave the fortune teller while they still had the will power. When they reached their hotel, Marilyn sat down and picked up the evening paper. After reading an article on Mr. Richard Lieb, who is adviser to President Roosevelt, she came across a copy of a beautiful painting and an article telling about it. It was painted by Lawrence Groh. Sally was listening to a news report on the radio. The reporter spoke of the great line of victories that Admiral Robert Hile was making in the South Pacific. In the evening the girls went to concert given by their old school chum, Edith Cripe. The next day the girls boarded a train bound for Kendallville. When they reached home the first people they saw were Evelyn Dobbin and Lois Iohnson, who were unloading the mail from the train. Lois and Evelyn told the girls where they could find the rest of the old class. Connie Kimmel is an army nurse stationed in the Marshall Islands, Hugh Mullen is now proprietor of Georges Pool Palace, Emmett Lovett owns the Rex- all Drug Store with Mary A. Green as his pharmacist. Eleanor Grym and Ioanna Hall have turned the old Riley School Building into a young ladies seminary, lean Haines is now principal of Kendallville High School. Paul Glass is now the County Agent and is really a big shot. lean Schmuck has opened a summer resort on Bixler Lake, Mary lane Hoffelder is super- vising the cooking for which the place is famous. Speaking of cooking, Ann Shoner has taken on Miss Vardaman's place at K.H.S. Betty Stout is now the physical fitness teacher and does a beautiful job of torturing the students. Vivian McGiffin is now Student Adviser in K.H.S. and keeps peace among the students. One of the greatest changes in Kendallville is that there is a woman Mayor, and it is Pat Hosler. Kathleen Mabus is doing an excellent job of cleaning the streets. Beverly Hinkley sees that the merchants adhere to the rule that store hours be from lU a.m. to 4 p.m. Eugene Nodine enforces a 6 o'clock curfew for all youths under 35 years of age so that he can drive his car evenings. He is working in co-operation with Doris Graham who is the Child Delinquency Officer. While the girls Were home, marvelous news came that General Mason had scored the final victory end- ing the war. His wife, loan Butler, is leaving this country to join General Mason immediately. Betty Arnold and Norma Burwell, gambling kings, have installed pinball machines in the Library of K.H.S. Betty Niswander is retiring from public life after having been active at the Peace Conference which was led by Lilly Brickley. lack Slater and Iimmie Brady are still living a happy married life in K'ville. Iack is the Manager of the A. CS P. store. Annabel Gillespie and lanice McCally have de- signed a plane that flies under the Water and in the sky. Well, Marilyn, l'm convinced that the Class of '44' is really tops! Sally, we've really got something to be proud of.

Well, maybe not all of you do, but we, the class of 44, remember it as the date we started one of the grandest experiences of our lives. Sure, the upperclassmen thought we were short-stuff, but oh, if they could only see us now. We, the class of 44, are proud of that name and justly so, because it's taken us more than four years to get it. Yes, it started that wonderful September, l939, when we were enrolled in the high school building, much to the disappointment of the big kids' 'and after coming out of our daze we got to elect class officers. Sally Teders was president, Phil Appleman, vice presidentg and Bib Hile, secretary-treasurer. And then, before we knew it, we were freshmen, not just in the high school building, but in high school and really liking it. Our class was increased to eighty-nine by students from the Lutheran school and the Wayne, Mil- ford and jefferson Township schools. We held a class meeting and elected Phil Appleman president, Alice Berry vice president and How- ard Treesh secretary-treasurer. We also chose the sweet pea as class flowerg old rose and gray as class colors and Speech is Silver, Si- lence is Golden for our motto. Mr. Penrod was our class sponsor. For our first class party we had a hayride. We all dressed in old clothes, piled onto the wagons, tractor drawn, and then we really let this old town know that there was a freshman class. Afterward we went to the little gym, which was decorated with real corn stalks, and learned to dance, thanks to Trent Knepper and Wanda Engle and their barn dance fiddle and piano. ln the spring we held a swell skat- ing party at Hamilton Lake. As sophomores we were led by Bob l-lile as president, Gordon Sauer, vice president, Dick Mason, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Goodwin, class sponsor. Our first party was a scavenger hunt. We met in the little gym, di- vided into groups, and started looking for things that anyone but silly sophomores would have known were out of this world. One group returned with all the articles they needed and received the grand prize, a sucker apiece. Our spring party was again a skating party, this time at Silver Moon and with everyone having more fun than they had had since the last party. Our junior year was very interesting. Al- though we had to work hard, we also found time for fun and class accomplisments. We had as president, Clyde Whitsong vice president, Hugh Mullen, and secretary-treasurer, Phil Ap- pleman. Our class sponsor was Miss Page. At a class meeting we decided to change our class colors to blue and white and our motto to Labor omnia vincit iWork conquers alll. We chose beautiful class rings and later decided to put on a Gay Nineties Revue under the direction of Sally Teders and Vivian McGiffin. This was a success, showing the dramatic abil- ity and the go-get-it in the class of '44. Our fall party was a dance in the little gym after a ball game, and in February we held a Valen- tine Dance. The biggest event during our junior year was, of course, our junior-Senior banquet, Holiday lnn. After a delicious dinner we en- joyed a delightful program consisting of a tour through the schoolhouse, where a very cleverly arranged skit and dances brought back mem- ories of all major holidays of the years. We were all very happy and had a wonderful time, although we juniors were all a little wor- ried about how We were going to get along the next year without the swell class of 43. Now it's here. That Senior year you can h-ardly wait for and then decide you didn't want it to come. But there was nothing we could do about it as most of us had outgrown our seats in the little assembly, so we made the best of it and succeeded in electing class officers, Dick Mason, president, Richard Lieb, vice president, Kathleen Mabus, secretary and treasurer. And a million thanks to our won- derful sponsor, Miss Stephens. Our first party was a treasure hunt held at the Country Club. ln january we held a farewell party for several members of our class, Bob l-lile and Dick Crothers home on leave from boot training, Dick Lieb, who was entering college, and mid- semester students who had fulfilled their grad- uation requirements. Meanwhile, we have been busy ordering cmd receiving and display- ing class pictures and name cards, and We're now Waiting on our blue and white class sweaters and our graduation announcements. We have fifty-eight candidates for graduation. We realize now what a swell place Ken- dallville High School is and so to all you under- classmen the class of '44 says Work hard but have fun and your years in K.H.S. will be years you will, never forget. -Ianice Kreischer.

Dur- ing our first year in high school we had ninety-four students and our Officers were Oley Waller as president, lay Bandol as vice president, and Nancy Baughman as secretary, with Miss Power as our sponsor. We chose red and silver as our class colors and carnation for our flower. They still go, In our Sophomore year we chose lay Bandol as our president, Fred Has- kins as vice president, and Bud Delp as our secretary, with Miss Goodwin as our class sponsor. During this year we got kelly green sweaters with white 45's on them. They added, and still do, a bit of color throughout the school. This year we want to express our appreciation to Don Deibele for the super job he is doing as class president-also to Nadine Young, vice president, Arlene Yeagley, secretary, and Nancy Baugh- man as treasurer. We are proud of the boys from our class who are now in the service of our country and we miss them very much. They are: Oley Waller, Navy, lack Gus- tin, Navy, Nelson Harrod, Army, Lee Fish- er, Armyg Bob Cotfelt, Navy, Lawrence Iohnson, Navy, and Don Dieterle, Navy. We have made quite a contribution to the World of sports with a number Ot our boys on the basketball team-Iohn Henry, Bob Ivey, Don Deibele and lim Warnbsganss have done a good job in helping to win more victories tor our team. Along the way, we have lost a few members of our class, but we have also gained a few. We hope you will be very happy here-Lois Davidson from White House, Ohio, Mary Louise Parker, Rome City, lim Wambsganss, Fort Wayne, Ei- leen Biddle, Avilla, Betty Harshbarger, Avilla, and Charlotte Harsha, Waterloo. Our class co-operated well with our class sponsor, Miss Eminger, to raise money. At the beginning of the year we sponsored a dance for the entire school, featuring ping-pong, cards and refresh- ments. Later we sold a fine selection of Christmas cards and had a magazine subscription drive which was quite suc- cesstul. Along about Christmas time we got our class rings which are very good look- ing. They are gold with some of them set in black onyx, They have 1945 on each side and our initials. We are all proud to Own one. Along in February we gave a class Leap Year ' party. We played games, had dancing and very good refreshments, A good time was had by all. Among the sixty-eight students in our class we have quite a bit of talent, with some interested in band and Orchestra, Wig and Paint, and in Art classes. A few who have clone very good work are Gun- ilda Gutstein, Orchestra, George Work- man, band, Nadine Young, dramaticsg Bobby Whitford, art. To finish the year off, we are now planning the Iunior-Senior Banquet. -Bobby Whitford, Arlene Yeagley, Page Twenty-one SOPHOMORES fC - I , f I 'P' I A I I I ' I ' CATHERINE ACKER , I .

To help us struggle through the year, we elected at the beginning of the year, Ber- nard Kleiman, president, Richard DeCamp, vice presidentg Barbara Hosler, secretary, Peggy Lieb, treasurer, and we have as our very able sponsor, Miss Goodwin. We changed our class colors from green and White to gray and red. The class flow- er, which is the red rose, was not changed, nor was the motto, By our efforts we hope to rise. By our own effort we have progressed since we entered high school. Back in the eighth grade we had an orchestra, composed of the more mu- sically talented among us. When we were fresh- men and elected Fred Brumbaugh, president, Richard DeCamp, vice president, Barbara Bonar, secretary-treasurer, and had Miss Power as spon- sor to help carry us through, many of the students were already well advanced in music and ath- letics and other activities. And, oh, yes, that was the year we had that wonderful hayride with re- freshments afterward and dancing for those who had the energy. From there we advanced into the sophomore class, where we made and are making every ef' fort to climb higher. For example: two of our members had parts in the Wig and Paint produc- tion given this year, and many others helped with it. The basketball team is well represented by sophomore boys, as are other sports. And by the way, those baton twirlers you see in front of the band are from the sophomore class. Others are very active in music, art, etc., and on the side, we certainly do not neglect our school work. Our class party was held in the little gym. It was a miscellaneous affair with dancing, cards, ping-pong, and, of course, refreshments. One of the highlights of the year came when our class sweaters arrived. They are a beautiful gray with a bright red LIB on the side and even have our names sewn on the inside. They really do look neat. ln the remaining years of our high school career, we will endeavor to make every effort we can to rise and to help the school and ourselves advance because of our efforts. -Barbara I-losler, Page Twenty-three FRESHMEN .- AA A VIVIAN COOLEY BONDOLYN DANZER ' ' ,N RICHARD AICHELE - I I, . , ' IOHN ANANIAS ,Q iq QI f f' '? ,.

Many of them participated in the vari- ous activities, such as art, band, and orcestra. The officers who led the class were: Iohn Ivey, president, Donald Miller, vice president, and Mary Shew, secretary-treasurer. We were under the sponsorship of Miss Aungst. We picked the class flower as the orchid, the colors as blue and silver, and the motto Don't wait for us, we'1l get there. On the night of November 6, I9-12, the little gym was filled with noisy students for the party. Different games were played and refreshments were served. After that everyone went to the first game of the season f the Comets versus LaGrange. Mary Shew wrote the eighth grade class his- tory for the annual last year. When we entered school, students from the eighth grade and from Wayne Center, South Mil- ford and the Lutheran schools made up the fresh- man class. At the first meeting we elected the class officers: Donna Dillon, presidentg Dean Barker, vice president, Carol Marks, Secretaryg and Argil Shock, treasurer. Miss Aungst ,as our class sponsor, helped us very much. At another meeting, we chose the class colors, which are blue and silver, the same as last year. The flower is the rose, and the motto is Bi, Bt, but never Bb. Some of the boys, including Gene Shields, Charles Preston, Dean Miller, Don Miller, Don Taylor, I-Iarold I-lanes, Ir., and Bill Smith, play on the basketball team, others play on the Ag team. The class also got together and sent a sun- shine basket to Bud Walters while he was con- valescing. On the night of Ianuary 26, 1944, the class met at 6:15 at the newly opened skating rink for their first party, which was immensely enjoyed by all. Mr. Tritch and Mr. Brumbaugh were in- vited. As our class moves on, we hope to establish a firmer base for the classes that will follow. -Carol Marks, Page Twenty-five EIGI-ITI-I GRADE . . I 4 I -2- It ' ., 3 ' gc? A' . sa I , A, 1.3 JSA ' .

We greatly appreciate the efforts of Connie Kimmel as Editor and Clyde Whitson as Business Manager. They have both been very capable and untir- ing in their work to make this Annual possible. They, along with the rest of the Annual Staff whose pictures appear above, have done splendid work and have kept up the pace when some things seemed practically impossible.

The choir this year has done very little a cappella singing as they do not have daily rehearsals which are most necessary The choir has sung this year for the Community Memorial Service on Ar- mistice Day, participated in the Ellis' Memorial Service, December fifth, for the third consecutive year, gave a concert of Christmas music with the orchese tra just before Christmas vacation, assisted in Wednesday evening church services preceding Easter, and in the threefhour service at the First Methodist Church, Good Friday, sang Negro spirituals and other types of music for auditorium programs. Last year the choir sang the beautiful and impressive Ballad for Amer' icans' at the May Festival with Phillip Appleman doing the solo part. This was repeated for Commencement, at which time Carl Yoder was soloist. Nine members of the choir were chosen to appear in the allfhigh school chorus for the Northeastern lndiana Teachers' Meeting at Port Wayne on October twentyfsecond These were lean l-lames and lanice McCally, first sopranog Marilyn Slailes, lean Stiver, and Connie Kimmel, second soprano, William Hinkley and Richard Lieb, tenor, Phil Appleman and Richard DeCamp, baritone. Baccalaureate will be the final performance of the choir for this school year, following closely after their participation in llational Music Week concerts.

'rss Y BAND Capably directed by our new band and orchestra director, Mr. McClain, the High School Band has filled the past year of ac- tivity with achievements and honors. The work of the more experienced players plus that of the steadily increasing newer mem- bers has helped to make the year both a successful one and one of fond memories. The first appearance this year of the band took place when it furnished music while the crowd gathered in the grandstand at the fairgrounds for the Army Victory Caravan Show, whose participants were from Ft. Beniamin Harrison, indiana. The next entertainment in which it functioned was the Halloween Celebration. Not only did the organization form a musical back- ground for the masquerade contestants who marched up and down the gym floor, but it also did its share in making the affair more entertaining when it rendered solos during which the maiorettes twirled. As has been the custom for several years the band, in co-operation with the orchestra and A Cappella Choir, participat- ed in the auditorium program which imme- diately preceded the Christmas holidays. As its part on the program, the members of the band played the accompaniment for the general singing of Christmas carols by all the students. As in other years, the band lent spirit and pep to our basketball games, both by playing for our stirring song Go Ye Old K'ville and by playing marches during intermissions. Naturally, the highlights of the year for the band are the major concerts which are given after weeks of rehearsal, both in the regular school period and in practices sche- duled outside of school time. On Ianuary 24, the band gave its first major concert. Included on the program were numbers by the band, a solo by George Workman, bari- tone, and a solo by two young guest ar- tists, Norval Witlirow and loe Brokow, cor- netists from Garrett. The Seniors, spending their last year in the band were Dick Lieb and Philip Ap- pleman, baritones, Betty Arnold, clarinet, Bill Hinkley, cornet, Margaret Diehm, bas- soon.

We have worked hard, played some, and have done all we could to l-:eep up the good dramatic worl-1 that has become a tradition with the club During the past nine months the club has grown to have the larfiest riieizibersliiig in its history, and we have had to amend our constitution to enlarge our total mein bershiiii, so that we could accomgziodate this increased interest The biggest, most elaborate thing we irttemiated this year was our four act play, Daddies, which was a success: in every sense of the word. lt was given in the audi toriurzi for the grades and for high school, and was presented to the public on Ianu' ary 17, Daddies is the story of a group of five men who had formed a bachelors club at college, then decided, at their first meeting, five years after graduation, that it was their duty each to adopt a war orphan Compli- cations arise however, when Croclcet, who specifically demanded a boy, gets a girl, and Bob, having sent for a little English girl, finds, too late, that she is a grown-up young lady, and Allen, who had boasted of the simplicity of raising a child, discovers the fallacies of his arguments when he is con- fronted with triplets. The rnerriment contin- ues when we see matrirnony, inevitable un- der the circumstances, encompass the entire group, often in a very ludicrous manner. Daddies was given a hilarious acclaim at each presentation, and was a source of both pride and a feeling of accomplishment to everyone who contributed to its success in any way, lffith a part of the proceeds from Dad- dies, we bought a davenport for the stage lt can easily be made into three single chairs, or into one chair and a smaller dave enioort, thus increasing its stage utility. Also, Wayne Mefferd has constructed a large tool box which moves around the stage on cas' ters. These are two improvements which have been awaited for some time Although spent a great deal of time and effort on ' Daddies, did other things during the year will be remembered Some of our programs went into the audi- Page Thirty-seven 53 so L., KAY AITCH ESS VOLUME XXXII We the Senior Class of 1944 would like to present Our Book ot Memories to the School. We Wish to express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Howerton for the magnificent work he has accom- plished on not only our annual but all of the annuals for the past twenty years. Mr, Howerton, we salute you. PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1944 KENDALLVILLE HIGH SCHOOL KENDALLVILLE, INDIANA EE W V3 toriurn, including The Auction, a one-act play given early in the year, and One Special for Doc, an impressive radio play which was first given as a stunt night performance. Our tryouts were quite highly attended, as is indicated by our present total enrollment ot eighty members and apprentices. We had three very enjoyable social events this year. The first was a h-allowe'en party, given on October 26, the second was the Presidents Brawl held on February 8, and, of course, our formal Senior Farewell Banquet, on May 16. We seniors who are leaving Wig and Paint this year have been trying to make the club a little better than we found it tour years ago. We sincerely hope that we have done so in some des gree. And to you who will be here again next year-from the new president down to the lowest apprentice-we extend our sincere best wishes for the future. i -..,--Y V- WDADDIESH CAST Robert AudreyfPhil Appleman Iames Crocket-Richard Lieb Henry Allen-Richard DeCamp William Rivers-Warren Crotoot Nicholson Walters--William Hinkley Ruth AtlcinsiSally Teders Mrs. Audreyflfivian McGiffin Bobette Audreyffleannine Mount Madame Levigne-Edith Cripe LoryfRoberta Berkes Little Uncle SammyeSharon Clay Francois-Ierry Templin Gustave-Oran Longbrake Emil-Orval Longbrake Parker-Harold Uhl Katie+Connie Kimmel HELPERS STAGE AND LlGHTlNGfWayne Metterd, Fred Haskins, William Leamon, Robert Moses, Gene Mount, and the boys of the cast.

S. newspaper, concludes another successful year. The SPOTLIGHT is a monthly publication with a new staff each semester composed of members of the journalism class, augmented by members of previous staffs. To be eligible a student must have five credits in English. Each year the staffs endeavor to carry out the fourfold purpose of the school news- paper that was set up by the first staff in l933. These purposes are: ill to promote interest in rhetoric, C23 to make a record of Columns ................ Alice Berry, Carol Faux Typists and Reporters ........

Beverly Hinkley Mr. Tritch events in our school, f3l to bring the stu- dents and faculty into closer contact, f4l for amusement and enjoyment as well as ap- preciation. This year Ieanne Koon, '44, carried on the work of editor both semesters. It is the first time in the history of the paper that a girl has held this position. IOTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION PUBLISHED December 5 marked the lUth anniver- sary of the founding of the SPOTLIGHT. To celebrate this event, the Aninversary Edition, Page Forty Dimitri smjimuswrw pcrttemed after the first SPOTLIGHT, was published. An effort was made to make the edition a reasonable facsimile of the first issue produced, Dec. 5, 1933. No effort was made to square the right hand marging no letter- ing guides were used, it was printed on the same size paper as the first SPOTLIGHT and on one side of the sheet only. It contained the same number of pages and many of the articles of that issue with a few modern items. The picture on the front page was the same as on the first issue. With the Dec. 5, 1933, issue as the cen- ter of attraction, an interesting display of various editions of the SPOTLIGHT through- out the past 10 years was set up in the up- per hall case. Included were all issues of the first year plus about a dozen of the later colorful Christmas, Easter, April Fool, tour- nament arid regular issues. Also in the dis- play was the only Election, 1936 issue, which carried the results of the school poll of that year. During the class period the staff cele- brated by having a party with refreshments consisting of ice cream and birthday cake. After school the faculty was invited ito the SPOTLIGHT room for more cake and ice cream. OTHER SPECIAL ISSUES The first special issue which appeared on September 10 was the complimentary is- sue published to help acquaint students with the SPOTLIGHT and new students with the school. Over 700 copies of the tournament issue were printed with complimentary issues giv- en to principals and coaches of competing teams. Complimentary issues were sent by the staff to members of the armed forces who are regular subscribers, and the Girl Reserves sent 26 issues to other boys in the armed forces who had been in K'ville high school in the past five years. The special tournament edition of 12 pages contained line-ups of the 16 compet- ing teams, and other basketball news per- taining to the tourney. Doris Smith won the free ticket to the regional, as offered by the SPOTLIGHT ev- ery year to the student who most accurately dopes the tourney. The other special issue was the all color April Fool edition, which, filled with non- sense, has appeared regularly for the past six years. SPOTLIGHT SELF-SUPPORTING The SPOTLIGHT prides itself in the fact that it is self-supporting financially. The to- tal income is derived from subscriptions a- lone and not with the aid of advertisements. Although the treasury shows a substan- tial balance, no new equipment can be pur- chased because of O.P.A. regulations and the money therefore is being reserved for post-war purchases. NEW COLUMN ADDED In order to inform the students of the interesting and new books in the library, the library column, lust Browsing, was added. GRATEFUL FOR SUPPORT The SPOTLIGHT is grateful for the kind reception given it by its readers, and wishes to thank all for their co-operation in making each issue a better SPOTLIGHT.

The Girl Reserves activities got off to a flying start with a potluck supper held by the cabinet members in the sewing room. At this meeting we chose Building for To- morrow' as our theme for the year. We de- cided that we could best build for tomorrow by studying the customs and problems of other countries. Our first meeting was a picnic at Bixler Lake September 21. The code was interpret- ed for the new girls. Mary McWhinney, Viv- ian McGiffin, and Kathleen Mabus told a- bout their experiences at Camp Mack, Girl Reserve Camp this summer. At several of our meetings this year our sponsors talked about their trips to other countries. Miss Vardaman and Miss Good- win told us about their trips to Mexico and Kathleen Mabus f Miss Aungst showed us souvenirs from there. Miss Power told about her trip to Norway. Miss Carroll showed us colored films which were taken by her brother in Hawaii. At other meetings Marylin Kelly and lane and Ann Hall told about Canada, and facts about China were told by several of the girls. Two weeks before Christmas we held a Christmas meeting at which Miss Vardaman told a Christmas story and Connie Kimmel told the story of the Christmas tree. Refresh- ments of Christmas cookies were served, then we sang Silent Night' 'around the lighted Christmas tree. Two very impressive recognition serv- ices were held during the year. Approx- imately thirty-five girls were taken into the club. Our first party of the year, which we each attended dressed as a movie or radio star, was held in the little gym Friday, No- Page Forty-two -,-, I-. -v, -.,...,- .N .

LIVESTOCK IUDGING TEAM The Kendallville Ag boys won the State Livestock judging Championship by defeat- ing twenty-seven teams, representing the winning teams from the various lndiana dis- tricts, at a contest held at Purdue Univerf sity on October 2, 1943. The team was presented a S200 trophy by the lndianapolis Belt Railroad and Stock Yard Company and in addition each mem- ber of the team was awarded a S50 war bond by the lndiana State Fair Board. The trophy, which is 26 inches high, will have Noble Co. '43 engraved on its face. At noon on October 3, the team was in- terviewed over station WBAA on the Farm Forum Program. After the broadcast the boys had their pictures taken by 1. C.

Robert Kline, '42, ranking second out of the 108 contestants, was awarded a 9575 scholarship by Kingan CS Co., meat packers. He made an unusual achievement by plac- ing among the first ten individuals on all four classes of livestock judged. 1-le placed fourth in horse judging, ninth in both sheep and beef, and tenth in swine. Bob also had a good record in crops and poultry and egg judging. Robert Muesing, '44, county champion livestock judge in 1942 and 1943, also turn- ed in an excellent score to rank third in the state. 1-le topped all contestants in swine judging and tied for ninth in beef judging. 1-lis high school record, as a member of var- ious ag teams, shows excellence in vegetae ble, crop, dairy, and poultry and egg judging.

Com- petition included forty-eight, teams which represented the best college teams, as well as high school teams, from seven states, in- cluding Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. The team was awarded a large trophy by Grant B. Snyder, professor of olericule ture at Massachusetts State College, who is sponsor of NIVGA. The trophy remains in the possession of the winning team for one year. Individual awards were made to Eugene Weber with second high score of the contest, Iames Bryant, fifteenth, and Paul Beiswanger, twenty-eighth, out of 148 con- testants. The group had an enjoyable week end in Chicago, visiting points of interest such as the Breakfast Club, Marshall Eields, Board of Trade, Fields Museum, Hall of Science, Shedd Aquarium and Maxwell Street. The team was also the guest of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company at a fine turkey banquet at the l-lotel Sherman. Excellent entertainment was provided and awards were made at that time. Three years experience in county, disf trict and state contests laid the foundation for annexing the national crown. In 1943 the team saw much action and stiff compe- tition. They placed fifth out of thirty teams in the State Fair Contest with Galen Swog- ger ranking as eighth individual. The con- test at Purdue saw the team on an off day with a seventh place rating out of twentyf two teams. By winning the district B of O contest at Nappanee they received IBZU to pay their expenses at the National Contest. The national contest requires skill in many phases of vegetable production, such as naming of varieties, identifying potato defects, naming insects, grading potatoes, and judging classes of vegetables based on U. S. Standards and Grades. The vocational agriculture boys sold garden seeds to earn money to buy cordu- roy jackets to be used as honor awards The jackets are maroon with gold lettering. The lettering on the back reads, National Champion Vegetable judging Team, with the first name of the owner and 43 on the front of the jacket. Our coach, Dale D. Schinbeckler, has brought many high honors to the KH S. vof cational agriculture department. At the 4-H Club Bound-Up last lune the poultry and egg judging team placed second and the dairy demonstration second in state compef tition. ln the fall the livestock judging team won the coveted state livestock judging championship. While cn a winning spree, Mr, Schinbeckler took a group of well train- ed vegetable judges to Chicago to win a National Championship. This record of wins is one of the best ever produced in a one year period.

Although there have been more prosperous seasons than this year, the spirit of good sportsmanship and clean play which developed was well worth the time and effort spent. The student body wishes to congratulate Charley and Pop and wish them many more successful seasons. Hoixioift SWEATER This year two boys in the Senior Class were awarded Honor Sweaters. The sweaters were awarded to Phil Appleman and Clyde Whitson. Phil won his letters in track and basketball, and Clyde earned letters in softball, basket- ball, and track.

Coach C Ivey, Deibele, Henry Dillon, Kleiman, Wambsganss, Muesing R Ivey, Appleman, Brumbaugli, Whitson, I. Ivey, BASKETBALL The Comets began the 43-44 season with only three members of last year's squad back on the hardwood, these being Kleiman, Muesing, and B. Ivey, Coach Charles Ivey laced the grim task of rebuild- ing a team, but before the opening game he had moulded these and the newcomers into a fast, scrappy team which displayed its fighting spirit in spite of much tough luck and tough competition. The Comets were handicapped during the middle of the season when Muesing. their regular center, was injured in an auto crash and was lost to the team for eight games. The Comets will lose four members this year. Bob Muesing, Phil Appleman, and Clyde Whitson by graduation, and Iohn I-Ienry to the Armed Forces. I-Iere is a short account of each of the seasons games: NOVEMBER I2-The Comets christened the season with a 34-30 win over the Angola Hornets and showed that they had much pre-season training as they took the sting out of the Hornets. NOVEMBER 19-In the second game the Comets won a thriller from Nappanee as they edged out a 30-29 win over the Bull- dogs. Trailing by three points and only 55 seconds remaining on the clock, the Comet cause looked hopeless, but Kleiman scored a long from near center and Bob Ivey stole the ball and dribbled the length of the floor to score as the gun ended play, NOVEMBER 23fPlaying smooth ball, the Comets easily defeated the Albion Tro- jan, l944 County Champs, 46 to 29 in the Comet gym. Coach Ivey used his second five freely in the last half of the encounter. NOVEMBER 26-After getting off to an early lead which they maintained till a few minutes before half-time, the Comet offense bogged down as the Fort Wayne Archers started connecting and the Comets fell to their first defeat 42-22 DECEMBER 3-The Garrett Railroaders Page Fifty BASKETBALL played here tonight and edged out a slim 27 to E win over the Comets. Trailing by a 14 to 2 cotmt the first quarter, the Comets come to lite and point by point closed the QCP Gnd with only two minutes to play gain- ed a one point lead, but the Railroaders countered and time ron out before the Comets could retaliate. DECEMBER 10-Traveling to Columbia City with a team weakened by injuries, the Comets after a close first half were defeated as the Eagles swooped down' the second half and dropped the Comets by a 41 to 26 ure. DECEMBER 22-In a rough garne the Comets, playing without two regulars, Dil- lon and Muesing, were defeated by the Au- burn Red Devils in the Comet gym, but only crfter three of the starting five had left the game on personal fouls. The second five put up a good fight but the Red Devils were too much and the Comets lost 43 to 40. IANUARY 7-For the second time this season the Garrett Railroaders sidetracked the Comets as they scored 48 to the Comets' 30 points. IANUARY ll-With the jirur that had followed the Comets for iive games still hanging on, the LaGrange Lions defeated tbeminanipa:ndtuclcbattlebya37 to 35 count. IANUARY 14-Although they played one of their best games against Ligonier, the Comets were dropped by the Red Raid- ers by a 31 to 25 score. Whitson paced the Comet attack with 16 points. IANUARY 18-ln a hair raising battle the Comets edged out a 39 to 37 overtime win over Avilla as Iohn Henry connected on a beautiful long in the final 3 minutes to give the Comets a well earned win. IANUARY 21-Out to avenge an earlier defeat at the hands of the Red Devils, the Comets hit a slump and their invasion of Aubum fell through as they were trounced by a 60 to 32 score. IANUARY 28-The Comets traveled to Hartford City with a strengthened team. Muesing was back in the lineup after an absence of 8 games and Iirnrnie Wambsganss, who came to Kendallville from South Side, also saw action and the Comets defeated the tall Airdale quintet by a 38 to 34 score. FEBRUARY 4-Unable to hit with any consistency, the Comets were defeated by the Bluffton Tigers by a 38 to 22 count. FEBRUARY ll-The Comets played a good game against Decatur but were de- feated by the Yellow lackets, one of the 16 semi-finalists in the Indiana Tourney, by a 44 to 38 score. Muesing collected 22 points. FEBRUARY l2-The Central Tigers proved to be too fast for the Comets as they dropped them by a 49 to 29 margin. FEBRUARY 13-The Comets ended the season with a 35 to 23 -:rin over a scrappy team of Waterloo Wildcats in the Comet gymnasiumi SECTIONAL TOURNEY HOWE MILITARY GAME-The Comets drew the Howe Military boys in their li1'S'l game of the sectional and easily defeated thembya42tomscore.T'hisvictoryad- vanced them into me second round against , ne- I .

The Meteors, lacking in size and experience, were able to salvage but four games of sixteen on their schedule, but they are all Freshmen and Soph- omores and have time to make bigger and better Comets of the Future. They played better on most occasions than the score would indicate, but were meet- ing taller and more experienced toes. One ot their games which deserves rec- ognition was the game with Central of Fort Wayne, in which they met a much taller team and until the last few minutes held Central in check and led them most of the time until Central gained the lead and held the ball to win by a narrow margin. More power to the lvleteors in years to come.

Volleyball is a sport almost every girl likes to play. Oh, don't forget the girls and their phys- ical fitness programl They can take it-l mean all kinds of exercise. They get a little stiff and teased a lot, but that doesn't stop them. This program is of great value to them. Not only is it helping them build strong bodies, but it is teaching them to be good sports and how to cooperate. Besides, that hour a day just seems to wash the girls' troubles away. At times the girls almost work the music box to death. It is swell for different exer- cises, plus jitterbugging and other types of dancing in gym classes and after school. Many are learning the steps of the waltz, polka, and different folk dances. During fall or spring you'll see girls on the playground or at the park. Either is quite a hike but the incentive at the end may be archery, softball, or volleyball. The latter tops the list when juniors meet seniors and the tennis courts and improvised into volley- ball courts. Do you know who is behind the girls and kinda pushing them? Yes, you are right, Miss Carroll, who is not only our teach- er of athletics but also a teacher of fairness and good sportsmanship. Since we can't all be winners, we learn a lot if we learn to be good losers. In the First Aid Pictures, the girls show the proper lifting of a victim to place her on a stretcher made with two poles and a blan- ket. A stretcher like this can be used for Page Fifty-eight 70 ,,.! many 2.1319 :cr e:c':.:.e : zrzger. H'-,Le ::esL:er.t :S 'e::.
