C. V. HAWCDRTH Although few students have direct association with him, Mr. C. V. Haworth. your Superintendent of Schools, is known and admired by every student in high school. Receiving his A. B. and A. M. degrees from Indiana University, he has striven for thirty years to provide Kokomo schools with the best teachers, courses, and facilities. Mr. Haworth has a keen interest in every student and hopes to bring out the latent abilities of each of you so as to fit you in the best possible way to be a citizen of tomor- row. MR. C. E. HINSHAW A graduate of Indiana University with an A. M. degree from Columbia University, Mr. C. E. Hinshaw, the principal, is more directly responsible for your school than is any other person. All through the twenty-nine years he has served K. H. S. students he probably has never had more problems to solve than in this school year. However, he has met each war emergency with the wisdom and efficiency that characterize him. Mr. Hinshaw has succeeded in his attempt to develop each pupil as nearly as pos- sible to the maximum, mentally, morally, and physically.

Pearce and Mr. John Paul jones, are appre- ciated by every boy and girl. Your gracious Dean of Girls received her l'h. B. degree from Ripon College. Since coni- ing to Kokomo High School eight years ago she has served your school well. Besides being an understanding dean, Miss Pearce teaches a Senior health class and supervises the Girls, League. When she isn't engaged in a con- ference inside her office, you find her dashing around the corridors, stopping occasionally to speak a friendly hello, Your congratulations go to Dean Pearce for being one of the most successful women in her particular field. lt is Dean Jones and Dean Pearce help you find a suitable place for your social affairs. l l I a hard task, especially in times such as these, but she is capably taking it in her stride and proving her ability. During the six years that he has served as Dean of lloys, Mr. john P. Jones' genuine personality has won every boy's confidence. Aside from supervising the Boys' Legion, Mr. jones also teaches a mathematics class. Your dean received his A.ll. and A.lXl. degrees from Butler University. Besides the usual responsi- bilities of the Dean of Boys, Mr. jones has shouldered the difficult task of giving advice to the many boys preparing to enter the armed forces. VVith his close association with the boys and their problems, Dean jones serves ef- ficinetly and wisely on the county draft board. THEY KEEP YOU HEALTHY Caring for the li. ll. S. students' health is an efficient staff consisting of Miss Barbara Schwartz, Miss Thelma Gasser, and Dr. VV. nl. Martin. Your nurse, Miss Schwartz, aside from inaliaeinf-' the first-aid room, to which all cor- c C: PD ridor casualties and impromptu flu cases wend their way, annually conducts the Voll- mer Tuberculin Patch tests throughout the high school, and supervises the complete physi- cal examinations given all junior and senior girls, and all other girls over sixteen. This spring, Miss Schwartz, with the help of the Red Cross, supervised the giving of typhoid inoculations to school children and adults throughout the city. Also. the problems of the l're-Nursing Club are met and faced by Miss Schwartz, its originator and adviser. Dr. Mill nl. Martin, your school doctor, is called i11 upon emergencies for advice and recommendations. He ably assists Miss Schwartz with the girls' physical examinations and directs a similar examination for the boys. Miss Thelma Gasser, hearing' and speech supervisor. administers the hearing tests in the fall of the year. The purpose of these tests, given to all city school students, is to single out the hard of hearing in order that they may receive proper treatment. Miss Gasser, who holds her ll. S. and M. S. degrees in speech, gives lessons in corrective speech and in speech reading. To these three people, Miss Schwartz, Miss Gasser. and llr. Martin. you owe your great- est appreciation, for they have kept you healthy during the school year. Miss Barbara Schwartz assists Dr. Bruce ll. Lung to give you a typhoid in- oculation. v fQvggz:, Km- - 1 Page ln order to get along with your fellow men you must be able to speak and write well.

The girls in the home nurs- ing classes completed the standard Red Cross home nursing course and received their certi- ficates. Miss liarbara Schwartz, school nurse, gave instruction in ac- tual nursing practice. A group of senior boys proved that home economics is not all for girls. Their studies were planned to help them in the immediate future as many of them will he entering the a rm e fl forces. The home manage- ment class, under the di- rection of llliss Helen Marley, who also man- ages the cafeteria, con' ducted classes in the ac- tual work of upholster- ing and finishing furni- ture.

S. has witnessed the omission of French from the curriculum, ln keeping with the trend toward improved Latin- Anierican relations was the introduction of Spanish last year. Now two-year courses are of- fered in both Latin and Spanish. The customs, dress. and interests of a people are discussed in connec- tion with the language. Maps, movies, a n cl models provide a better understanding to create an interest in travel and g'eog'rz1pliy. XYar and other factors may change the lan- guages taught, but stu- dents will always meni- orize verb conjugations in some foreign tongue.

Because of the high physical standards set by the armed forces, physi- cal education instructors faced the problem of building better bodies. As you in the boys' and girls' gym classes work- ed strenuously on the stall bars, played basket- ball and net games, scrambled up to the top of a swinging rope and then tried not to slide down. some of your friends were learning to swim and dive at the Y. M. C. .-X. swimming classes. For convenience and training in leadership, each class elected a stu- dent leader who reported the absentees and helped keep records. Much credit must be given to the instructors who were able to alter the physical program in K. H. S. to meet war- time needs. Top: Mr. Fritz Hawkins dis- cusses calisthenics with Mr. Ralph King and Miss Lyla Sill. Miss Miriam Danner, Miss lmoiean Hodson, Mr. Earl Ut- terback, and Mr. Raymond Trobaugh outline the physical education and health courses.

Here you may study. or read, or just browse among the wide choice of carefully selected books ranging from the classics to any of the latest novels suggested by the Book of the Month Club or the Junior Literary Guild. Here you may find the an- nuals of many lndiana colleges, five daily newspapers, and a variety of national maga- zines to which the library subscribes. Bliss Dorothy Shinoske, the school librari- an, aside from managing the library and di- recting the volunteer students who assist her, gives talks each year to the incoming fresh- men to acquaint them with the library. She also talks occasionally to your English classes to give you clear understanding of the purpose and usage of the library, and to make you aware of its great value. The west, north, and east sides of the library are laden with hundreds of fiction and reference books and encyclopedias, the east side being devoted entirely to the stacks where the little-used history and reference books are kept. Old files of magazines and other pe- riodicals used for reference are likewise kept in the stacks. lletween periods myriads of students rush to the high school book store in a hectic race to get that necessary pad of paper, or that not-so-necessary apple or candy bar, before the bell rings, Mrs. Minta Lynch manages the book store. lt is her task to keep you and the students in all other city schools supplied with school books and equipment. lllrs. Lynch is assisted by Miss Helen Hooker. The refreshment stand in the book store is maintained by the Junior class. Here, volun- teer Junior girls sell fruit and milk and. when it can be obtained, candy. The profits from this project help to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Your bookstore opens in the middle of August to supply you for the school year. Al- though most of the books are rented, those that are not are sold and bought back. The only drawback to the bookstore's efficiency is the lack of space. ln spite of this, however, the bookstore serves you well. The book store is a necessary part of your school system, for it is the medium through which the difficult procedure of securing school supplies in these war days is facilitated for you. They Keep House or K. . Students Sitting on the edge of your seat. you wait- ed for the hell to ring so that you could dash to the cafeteria. There you and your friends were alnle to get delicious and nutritious meals at a reasonlile cost. liven in the face of food rationing, Kliss Helen Marley and the cafe- teria staff has managed to provide the cus- tomers with excellent foods of every variety. The war has caused the careteria other trouhles in addition to the food shortage, tlas rationing keeps many more students from go- ing home to lunch and has caused the cafe- teria to hecome very much congested. ln fact. to relieve the situation. a new steam talmle will he installed next year. 'lo help with the work caused hy the doubling of last year's customers the cafeteria employs thirty-six students who help stack dishes and do other tasks necessary to main- tain this husy place. Besides this, your school cafeteria, along with many other school cafe- terias in the country, has instituted the plan of clearing your own table. lint no matter what the war has hrought in the way of restrictions, the cafeteria has con- tinued to give you the best of service with its staff of excellent cooks and modern equip- ment. The janitor system of your school is one of the services influenced most hy the war. Many of the maintenance crew, heeding the call of higher wages of a war plant, left their work at K. H. S. llue to this depletion of the staff, those remaining have had to do a tremendous amount of work. Not only do they take care of the high school, hut they also fill i11 when a vacancy occurs in the other schools through- out the city. ln addition to their cleaning duties. they operate the huge heating plant of the high school which also heats Central huilding and the vocational lmuildings. lt is upon the shoulders of Mr. Arch Gold- ing, head of the maintenance department. that these added hurdens fall. Also, an extra thank you goes to him, for he has always found time to set the stage for a play, return an ar- ticle lost or forgotten when play practice end- ed, pull the curtains, and keep the lights in condition. Besides the crew of maintenance men shown above, two matrons, llrs. Ruth Heilman and Mrs. lilossie liauhle, polish door glasses and chase the dust away.

Nominations for the leaders of the Class of '44 were made and scholastic records were checked. Those nominees having at least a B average were listed on the final ballot, and, after some heat- ed campaigning, the final vote was taken. When the smoke of the battle cleared and the votes were tabulated, Moe Qtterman was on top of the heap for the june graduatesg and john Powell headed the officers of the Janu- ary group. The class was now fully launched upon its Senior year. Page 33 Released from headquarters one day last fall was an import- ant communique concerning a drastic change in the day's rou- tine. The time that each period began and ended was the pri- mary difference of the new schedule along with the fact that you now had home room only two days a week. On the days that there was no home room period, a new period was creat- ed at the end of the day as a consultation period between teachers and pupils who need special assistance or who are making up work missed. This plan has proved a very success- ful one for all concerned.

This was the an- nual three-act play given by the student dramatists for the bene- fit of the Sargasso and was a very successful production, both dramatically and financially. The play this year was a comedy- mystery written by Parker Fen- nelly. The entire show was inter- spersed with laughter and sus- pense and, at times. the auditor- ium held a very spooky atmos- phere. Members of the Sargasso Business Staff were scurrying around trying to sell twelve-hun- dred subscriptions to the 1944 yearbook and, at the same time, sell enough tickets to the play to fill the auditorium. Both goals were readily attained. Page 35 Page 36 XV1l1 any of you ever forget how your fighting Vllildcats won the 1944 Tourney of Cham- pionsu at Anderson on New Year's Day? Your team was really Hrippin, that old basket- ball through the nets. lly dc- feating both New Castle's Tro- jans and the Indians of Ander- son, two of the Statels best teams as well as pre-tourney fav- orites, your Kats gained the first Big Four Championship for the Red and Blue. Many new yells, which were the result of a new-yell contest sponsored by your very active l943-44 Student Council, were introduced at this tourney. These increased the spirit of the cheer- ing section considerably, which very likely helped your Kats along Victory trail.

Senior classes were void the first period that morning in March, and it sounded rather queer to hear some Senior asking a Freshman or Sophomore for help instead of the other way. Other strictly Senior tests were various college scholarship tests and A. S. T. P. and V-12 tests over which many of you exper- ienced blood, sweat, and tears. And throughout the spring many boys made occasional trips to In- dianapolis to take Army Air Corps Reserve tests or to Chi- cago to attempt to gain admis- sion into the Navy Y-5 program, better known as the Navy Air Corps. Page 39 Page 40 As spring approached, your school acquired two new things. both of which you prize highly. The first was a trophy case built in the wall of the front hall and backed with blue velvet and lighted by neon lights. This was a choice display case for your silver loving cups and gleaming bronze statuettes won over the years. lt so happened that the construction of this case was well timed, for you soon acquir- ed another very beautiful troe phy, that of the runner-up in the I, H. S. A. A. State Basketball Tourney. To the boys on the first team went inscribed rings, and VValter Mclfatridge brought home the coveted Gimbel Award medal. Although you have never stopped believing you had the better team, you attributed the loss of the championship to the crazy fortunes of basketball.

Hlllue Mon- day turned out to be anything but blue, for it was an extra hol- iday for K. H. S. as well as the day of the pep session of the century with a fire truck. bon- fires, downtown street parade, speeches, singing, and cheering- all this was in honor of your great basketball team. You had no more than settled yourselves down from this great occasion than you were greeted with a sight which brought tears to your eyes-Haworth Gym was a mass of ruins due to a fire during the night. To top off everything, the second typhoid shots were ad- ministered to a beinuddled high school. Page 42 The event to which all of you dramatically inclined Seniors looked forward with greatest an- ticipation was the Senior Class Play. Try-outs and rehearsals started 'way back in the middle of February and continued until March 30 and 31, the nights of the performances. Giving up practically all other activities, you members of the double cast spent much time in preparing yourselves to live up to the Class Play performances of previous years. Here you high school students were given a chance to speak your own jive language. After all rehearsals ended, the final curtain was rung down, and the super cast parties were over, every one agreed that the week of spring vacation which followed was very necessary.

These are the words which drifted to the ears of any poor, innocent person passing the door of Room 211 or that of Room 105 during those last mad weeks before printer's deadilne. You now have your edi- tion of the 1944 Sargasso in your hand, but you little realize what difficulties were encountered in publishing this book. The staff heads scurried around trying to identify this person and that. Stories had to be rewritten to fit the dummy and many heads nearly split trying to think up suitable A'heads for the stories. On top of all this, the dummy had to be kept well hidden un- til the book made its appearance. Page 44 Of all the happy times spent in K. H. S., Senior Week will al- ways receive star billing in your memories. After early final exams you had your class Day, and the rest of the week was filled with dances and par- ties held in your honor. First in your memories of Senior VVeek appear the DeMolay Senior Prom, and then came the Phi Delt Big Prom. And the Juniors spared no time nor expense to give you the best at their super junior-Senior Prom. At these dances your senior queen was crowned.

The final outcome was a very efficient trio: Phil Young, presidentg llonavon Rayl, vice-president: and Gloria llackus, secretary-treasurer. Your Junior friends were well represented on many bodies. Sent to Stu- dent Council were Emily Ann lleechy, Ilob Clark, Janis liwing, llill Grainger, Bob jackson, Rob Lang, Kathleen Peters, Phil Young, Harry Allison, Jack Roberts, and Estella Small, who became secre- tary. On the Boys' Legion lloard of Directors were Dick Cooper, Ross Heath, llob jackson, Ilonavon Rayl, and Tom Schwartz. Geraldine Golightly and Louise Ridnour represented the Class on the Girlsl League Council. Along with other privileges came the right to choose not one but two candidates for Sweetheart of the Stardust llail. The Class named a lovely pair, -luliana Hamp and Gloria llackus. Sponsoring the .lunior Class were Mr. Olin Meritt, Miss Dor- othea Pohlman, Miss Ruth VVagner, Miss Helen Marley, and llr. Raymond Trobaugh. juniors, the Senior Class is entrusting to you the pleasures and responsibilities of reigning over the halls of K. H.

These active students widened their interests and demonstrated their ability to make upperclassmen scramble to keep their laurels. In Student Council jean Babb, Marilyn Dickason, David Hus- ton, Marilyn Eby, Bill Mannion, Dan Norris, Marjorie Roe, Nad- Tifa in Sturgell, Jack Clawson, joan Glidewell, Bill Keyes, Mary Lou TNFI Myers, and Bob Wright made known the wishes of the class. fl Therese Vandenbosch and Sue Parkinson occupied positions on the Girls' League Council. Serving on the Boys' Legion Board of Directors were Dale Godlove, jack Kendall. George Lantz, and Fred 4 Meinzer. .-'sw X-. . Smiling Marilyn Mitchell was elected Sophomore candidate for Sweetheart at the Stardust Ball. The Sophomores paid little heed to the fact that they had no officers nor class projects. Instead, they harnessed their energy to many worthwhile activities. Last year they had discovered how things were rung this year they applied their share of ability to keep them going. Many interesting clubs admitted Sophomores, who repaid them by active committee work. They were also found in various branches of the Red and Blue. This class boasts many future actors, actresses, and entertain- ers who participated in auditorium programs, both in plays and in talent spots. Several were in the Sargasso play and on the Hul- labaloo program. Not forgotten was the field of sports. Many Sophomore ath- letes will have assurance of key positions on future VVildcat teams. The class of '46 has come to the halfway mark. These students are rewarded for their efforts by the right to become upperclass- men.

FRESHMEN FIND THEIR WAY AROUND Q , . .sr-19 T yf 4513.5 The Freshman Forum is one of the few clubs that Freshmen can join. As its name implies, it is exclusive to Freshmen: members are automatically dropped when they become Sophomores. One of its purposes is to acquaint students with parliamentary procedure in clubs. This year the limelight was focused on discus- sions. Debates, panel discussions, and group discussions were popu- lar. Robertls Rules of Order was carefully studied. llecause the aim was to develop the qualities of leadership, you prepared the pro- grams yourselves and had no outside speakers. The club was well managed by the officers and sponsor. Serv- ing on these various positions were Dan Moose, presidentg lack Jones, vice-presidentg and jean Holman, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Powell was the able sponsor. Ry the time spring fever hit K. H. S. your Freshman friends had almost lost their greenness. They had long ago discovered their way around in the maze of halls and rooms. ln fact, the fall group smiled indulgently at the antics of the mid-term lfreshies. To study the ways of government, they sent jack Hall, Vlialter Finny, Bill Bugher, Beverly Wliebers, Bob Lerch, Ted Teagarden. 'loe Rerneche, Delores Johnson, and llob Vvilson to Student Council. Mary Catherine Ferry and Barbara Kirkpatrick served on the Girls, League Council. Representing the Freshmen on the Boys' Le- gion Board of Directors were Nelson llabb, lack Hall, Tom Noble, james Sheerin, and Joe Smith. Deborah Trees was the charming Freshman candidate at the Stardust Ball. K. H. S. has a very promising class of l-17.

Coaches Guide Your Teams to Victory Kokomo High School is proud of its coaches who never fail to produce teams of high standing in sportmanship and athletic ability. Coaching the Wlildcats for his seventh year, 'l'ubby Trobaugh again pro- duced one of the top-ranking teams of the North Central Conference. A heavy load has fallen upon his shoulders, for in addition to his regular coaching duties, he has undertaken the teaching of junior and senior gym classes. Ralph King has probably done one of the most successful jobs of coaching K. H. 5. has seen. llaving been with you XX'ildcats for only two years, he succeed- ed despite this short time in sending your basketball team to the State Tourna- ment. Mr. King also coached a highly successful golf team and taught health classes. The second basketball team made an excellent showing under the direction of Mr. Russell llratton. li. ll. S. looks forward to the year when his team will be firstfstring XYildcats. Along with coaching the second team and assisting Mr. King, Mr. llratton heads the commercial department. Your fourth major coach, Mr. XYaltcr Cross, heads track, an important sport in li. H. 5. Coach Cross has again enjoyed a successful season by skillfully de- veloping the natural abilities of a young and inexperienced team. A winner of the Ciiimhel Award. he now teaches biology as well as coaches track. Probably not as well known to you upperclassmen, Mr. lfritz Hawkins' coaching and teaching are directed to freshmen and sophomores. He coaches the freshman basketball team and teaches freshman and sophomore gym classes. ,,........--- l 7-0 25-0 Your High School Grid Stars After many hours of scrimmage and tireless practice with their coach, Tubby Trobaugh, the VVildcat football team opened the season on September 10 by traveli'ng to VVabash to engage the Apaches. What the Kats lacked in experi- ence was made up in their weight, for the big line averaged 190 pounds. In the third quarter the Kats made a drive deep into Apache territory and Jim Baker plunged over for a touchdown and then the extra point. The home opener was against the Marion Giants the following Friday when the Rats scored in every quarter. The highlight of the game was when Bud Smith, center for the Kats intercepted a pass and ran 60 yards for a touchdown in the final quarter. The Kats won their first N. C. C. victory. .l Top Picture: Baker goes through. Lower Pic-ture: Dick Bausom, Bob Glass, Ross Heath, Max Fague, Pud Smith, Ben Harmon, Bob O'Neill, Tom Schwartz line up.

The field was muddy due to a persistant rain, which kept coming down at intervals during the game. ln the opening minutes of the fourth quarter the Tigers inter- cepted a pass which netted a touchdown but were unable to score the extra point. The game ended with the Kats trailing. Next the Kats traveled to Elwood on October 1. The score was tied 13-13 at the half, but in the fourth quarter Piggy,' again rifled a touchdown pass and the conversion was also good. Although the Kats fought valiantly in the remain- ing minutes, they went down in graceful defeat. The following week the Wildcats journeyed to Frankfort. The fourth quar- ter found the ball game with the Hot Dogs leading 20-13. This didn't last long, for Baker plunged over to score. The extra point was no good. With five seconds to go, the Hot Dogs threw a pass which was intercepted by Schwartz. The gun crack- ed, ending the game as Schwartz stepped over the goal. The conversion failed, but the Kats won. Acting as hosts to Logansport on October 16, the Kats won that one for Tubbyf' The Berries as well as the Kats were undefeated in the conference race. The Kats ran rough shod over the Berries who fought until the whistle ended the game. I 2-0 I 9-6 One Hundred and Ninety Pound Line Next on the schedule was jeff of Lafayette. The jeff team, co-champions of North Central Conference, was voted as the toughest team the Kats had en- countered all season. Without the hard defensive play of Max Fague and Ross Heath, the Broncos would have scored more points. The last home game of the season was with the Muncie Bearcats, also co- champions of N. C. C. Although the Kats went down in defeat, they played one of their best games of the season. Aspy carried the ball for the only touchdown scored against Muncie this season.

Many of the players expressed the idea that it would have been a different story on a dry field. This was the game which ended the football careers of the seniors with the Wildcats, so each boy was given the opportunity to play a part of the game. The senior boys who played their last game were Carl Schafer, Dick Bausom, Tom Del Vecchio, Bob O'Neill, Jim Fisher, Max Fague, Ross Heath, Ben Harmon, Bud Smith, Bob Smith, Harry Vint, Clarence White, Jim Baker, Bill Aspy, and Bob Glass. Without the tireless efforts of Tubby you could not have had such a suc- cessful team. Page 76 Bill Aspy breaks from Othel Landrum in practice. Bob Renshaw heaves a pass.

YOU PLAYED GOLF, T00 After his basketball duties were over, Ralph King also coach- ed a highly successful golf team in the spring of 1943. In the North Central Conference meet held at Anderson, Ko- komo placed second, coming in just behind Anderson. The Kat golfers shot a 318 Cpar ZSOJ, but it was not quite low enough to beat Anderson's 294, the lowest score ever made in the history of the N. C. C. meets. Bringing honors to the XfVildcats, Chuck Farring- ton finished with a one under par score of 69. This won Farrington a highly deserved medal for being the next-to-low golfer of the An- derson tourney. In the regular schedule, the Kats won a match from Tipton, lost two to Anderson, and lost two close matches to Logansport, who placed third in the North Central Conference meet. The Kokomo golfers of 1943 were Chuck Farrington, Walter McFatridge, Joe Wiezbenski, and Manford Jarvis.

Getting off to a bad start, probably because of the ineligibility of the football boys, the XYildcats were defeated by the lflora Badgers. Then after defeating the Rossville Hornets, they played their first conference game, leaving Frankfort on the short end of the score. The next two games with Tech of Indian- apolis and Marion constituted three straight conference wins. Tn the Marion game Schwartz and Farrington teamed up for 22 points, more than the whole Marion team could produce. The first conference loss, from Lafayette, was followed by another defeat from lfort Xltayne. The most exciting game thus far was your second encounter with Marion, which resulted in your first overtime game, with Kokomo victorious. The New Yearls tournament in Anderson resulted in the biggest upset of the state. XYith a great display of teamwork, your boys whipped the two favorites of the tourney, Newcastle and Anderson. lly virtue of these upsets, Kokomo rank- ed eighth in the state poll.

The next week Newcastle partially avenged the New Year's tourney, but a complete rever- sal of form ensued the following' night when you defeated Tipton. The lid seemed clamped on the goal when the Logan llerries invaded Ha- worth Gym for a win, llut you were back on the beam with a victory over Frank- fort. Gene Turner's fine passes kept the Hot Dogs guessing. An easy win from Richmond was next on the schedule, followed by a victory over lleru. The revenffefseekinff Anderson lndians defeated vou in the next frame. The bn 6 , PN last two games of the regular schedule resulted in victories over Logansport and wabash. The tournament sessions formed another chapter in li. H. S. basketball his- tory. Arriving in liokomo in time for the Sectionals, Mr. .lohn li. Tunis, author of boys, books who chose Kokomo as the subject for his new hook on basketball, fol- lowed us through the tournaments. Mr. Tunis watched Kokomo defeat Lvnion Township. Cireentown, and Russiaville, and followed us to the Regionals at Klarf ion. There our liats defeated both Tipton and Gas City. During his stay here, Mr. Tunis visited the homes of members of the team in order to get more acquainted with the XYildcats. L'naccustomed to indiana bas- Page 79 As Kolzomo Goes On to State ketball enthusiasm, Mr. Tunis developed the basketball mania and rooted for our boys at the Muncie Semi-Finals. In another spectacular game accented with excel- lent teamwork, the Wildcats defeated the Burris Owls in the afternoon. In another upset in the night game the Kat cagers eliminated Central of Fort Wayne, defend- ing champs, giving us the right to participate in the State Finals at the Indianap- olis Coliseum. Yea, Wildcats is to be the very appropriate title of Mr. Tunis book. Yea, XVildcatsH was uppermost in the hearts of all Kokomo fans as the whistle blew to start the opening game of the State Finals. The coliseum vibrated with cheers as the state favorite, Anderson, was humbled by your gallant Kats. The final game, the dream of every Indiana team, was a thrilling episode from start to finish. Bosse of Evansville took an early lead, but the never-say-die Kats jumped into a 35 to 34 lead with two minutes left to play. Two quick fielders gave Bosse a 39 to 35 lead, which llosse did not relinquish, although your boys played their hearts out in a vain attempt to win.

H. S., Haworth Gymnasium was razed by fire in the wee hours of the morning of March 22, 1944. The Gym, a vital part of every studentls school and social life, was the scene of all the Kokomo basketball games and the home of the Wildcats. Each year townspeople and students hurried to the Gym to watch the Kats engage neighboring rival teams in hot games. Shrill whistles and yells echoed and re-echoed for twenty-one years among the rafters, leaving memories of happy faces when the scoreboard favored the NVildcats and tear-stained cheeks when they bowed in defeat. Then in the spring girls in frothy formals and boys in their Sunday suits stepped hand in hand onto the shining hardwood floor and danced under the same strong rafters that harbored yells and whistles. Only now, soft lights, gay laughter, and perhaps the name of a queen were left to accompany memories left from the ball games. Suddenly, near the end of school year, the Gym was closed to all except the juniors. They were preparing to honor the Seniors at their Reception. af: QQ? . -,QQ , .gt,,.,g?-125, 5, YU at Q t. ,.. 4 fl: vt 7 jfj QR . . 'L V . r X . xx lo see il.

It stood, proud and large, welcoming the Seniors to come enjoy their last school dance and marvel at its gayly decorated walls and ceiling. But probably one of the most important events taking place in the Gymnas- ium was the annual Commencement. In the afternoon Seniors came and practiced marching into the Gym and finding their seats amid the hundreds placed on the playing floor. Then, later in the evening, to the strains of HPomp and Circum- stance and with tear-filled eyes, the Seniors walked slowly from the Gym, having said good-bye to high school. Thus do countless graduates remember Haworth Gymnasium. Yes, Haworth Gymnasium, built in 1923 and named for our Superintendent of Schools, Mr. C. V. Haworth, was definitely a part of every K. H. S. student from the time he entered as a freshman until the day he left as a graduate. And we, the Seniors of '44, look over to the scene where our Commencement and Re- ception were to have been held and realize that we cannot pass through its doors in caps and gowns and in that way thank the hardwood floor and harboring rafters for the many memories left us. Always we, the students, will cherish the memories of ball games and dances held in Haworth Gymnasium, that in a burning flame of fire quivered, crumbled, and collapsed. l Page 83 ---pix N 4-'Q scifi l A ff Top Row: Bob Wooley, Bob Cowell, Francis Clark, Charles Pafcheff, Bill Bassett, Everett y Mannion, Elvin Elliofr, Ted Morehead.

The Girls' Athletic Association is a state organization founded with the pur- pose of developing better health, character, sportsmanship, and athletic ability. llue to the difficulties of wartime transportation, the spring and fall playdays sponsored by the association in previous years had to be dispensed with. However, the G. A. A. has completed one of its most successful years in spite of these dith- culties. The sponsor of the organization, as in the six previous years, was Miss Miriam llanner. She was aided throughout the year by the competent officers mentioned below. Soccer football, volleyball, basketball, ballroom dancing, tumbling, track and softball constituted the main sports of the year. Tournament winners of soc- cer football were Hette Morr, captain, Thelma Dunlap, Marilyn Fordyce, Barbara Lihism, and Trene Davenport.

Page 86 And Tl-1ey're Good, Too Quite by coincidence, Edith Holt and Bette Morr were elected captains of their respective gym class basketball teams and played against each other in the final game of the tournament. Edie's team came through victorious. At the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet awards were presented to the out- standing members of G. A. A. Those receiving emblems were Marilyn Fordyce and Elma Jean Morris. Roberta Hayes received the only script letter UK, and Bette Morr was the only girl to be presented with a state award. The members of G. A. A. are proud of the fact that the majority of the out- standing girls in athletics are also rated well scholastically. As in other clubs, finances play an important part. To earn money to pay for awards and social activities, the G. A. A. sponsors skating parties and by per- mission of the Athletic Association sells refreshments at the track meets and base- ball games in the spring. On the social calendar for the year, besides the Mother-Daughter Banquet and skating party, was a Christmas party held at the home of Lynette Beatty. As shown by these social functions, you athletes can also be very feminine. C Miss Miriam Danner ........ ..............Sponsor Edith Holt ......... ...,...................

Girls Present Coronation Ball In 1936, Miss listella G. Pearce, the Dean of Girls, founded the Girls, League, an organ- ization to which every girl in high school au- tomatically belongs. Iiarly in November, the Girls' League sponsored the matinee production of the HBar- ber of Seville, which everyone enjoyed. The Girls' League again assisted the Tuberculosis Association in its annual bangle sale. Short- ly before Christmas the League sold holly so successfully that the demand exceeded the sup- ply of holly available. The Girls' League and lloys' Legion, with the help of Miss Pearce and Mr. jones, join' ed in january to sponsor the Senior Tea Dance. Serving as general chairmen were Bet- ty Noble and Clyde Golding. Tn March the Girls' League presented a grand Coronation Dance, where a Queen and King chosen by popular vote were crowned. Marjorie Barker served as general chairman. One of the most outstanding events of the year was the Mother-Daughter Tea held in May, at which Miss Pearce, after weeks of work and secrecy, announced the All-Round Girl and Popularity winner, Student chairmen were: senior. lletty Peters and junior, Mar- garet Ann Ingels.

Its purpose is to improve both the school and the lives of students by securing a better understanding among boys and promo- ting greater school spirit with more enthusi- astic support of all activities. To govern the organization the above board of directors with the following officers were elected: jim Baker, presidentg Merrill Otterman, vice-presidentg Bob Dawson, sec- retaryg Bill Aspy and Gene Turner, sergeants- at-armsg and Harry McCool, treasurer. At the first general meeting, better sportsmanship at games and a plan to eliminate expensive cor- sages for the duration were discussed. A spe- cial session was held concerning eighth period attendance The two outstanding annual projects of the Boys, Legion, the Hullabaloo and the Star- dust Ball were again presented. Merrill Otter- man was chairman of the Hullabaloo, which was presented March 3rd in the auditorium. The cast was directed under the leadership of Mr. Mahlon Mercer of the music department. A very capable and versatile cast put on a per- formance that was received by a very appre- ciative audience. Rob Dawson acted as chairman of the Stardust Rall which was given March 24th in Washington junior High Gym. fHaWorth Gymnasium burned the morning of March 22ndj. lt was a lovely dance, for the stage provided a beautiful setting for the Sweet- heart presentation and delightful dance music was furnished by Ernie England's band of the University of Illinois. The activities of the Boy's Legion was di- rected under the leadership of Dean J. Paul Jones, who was aided very much by Mr. Mah- lon Mercer during the Hullabaloo, and Mr. Kenneth W. VVarthen during the Stardust Ball. The Boys' Legion turned over to the music department the major share of their profits from the Hullabaloo to aid them in their musi- cal activities, feeling indebted to that organ- ization for its grand service to them.

Covering all phases of Kokomo High School life, the Lens is your first publication of each school year. lt contains an explanation of each course, deals briefly with the functions of each club, con- tains a map of each floor, and acts as an exacting guide explaining thoroughly each intricate passage of the labyrinth of modern high school life. The Lens is published each year by order of the Student Coun- cil. The editor of the 1943-1944 Lens was Bob Smith, and the busi- ness manager Bob Dawson. The staff was a select group, having been chosen for previous display of merit, and therefore accomplish- ed their task with a high degree of efficiency. Miss Dorothy Thorn- burgh advises the staff and works with its members during the sum- mer. The Lens is the printed expression of the cooperative spirit that exists between the freshmen and upper classmcn in your school.

Fourteen students were granted membership into the Kokomo chapter as charter members. To obtain this honor, a student must be in the upper third of his class, he must be an upperclassman and he must be recommended by the adviser of publications and approved by the Executive Secretary. Meetings were held semi-monthly and a tea was given at each formal initia- tion. A new group of members were elected in the spring. The chapter was name ed after M r. Robert Coughlin, former student of K. H. S., now associate editor of Life magazine. Officers for the year were: Charmion Tooley, president, Hob Dawson, vice-president, Judy Mitchell, secretary, and Marjorie Harker, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Milton Green was the adviser. How proud you and your friends were when you received notification of admission to the National Honor Society. With character, scholarship, leadership, and service as requisites, SA and 4B students in the upper third of their classes scholastically are placed before the faculty and members for voting. Some of the activities in- cluded an auditorium program to interest underclassmen in the group and an annual ban- quet, which followed the im- pressive candlelight initiation service. At a close election early in the year officers chosen were : Tom Anderson, president, Emily Marshall, vice-presi- dent, Judy Mitchell, secre- tary, and Marcia Ann Tudor, treasurer. Faculty advisers were Miss Irene Rufty, Miss Clara Berry, Miss Iimma H il l, Mr. Robert Kennedy, hir. Lee Dixon, and Mr. Milton Green. Back Row: Tom Anderson, Bob Daw- son, Dean Reed, Bob Smith.

Organized as a branch of the Yictory Corps, the l're-Nursing Club soon became very active and its membership grew immensef ly. This year it gained prominence and pres' tiffe 'ts an individual club, and is no more a g . part of the Yictory Corps. Your interest in art, socially and education- ly, was highly stimulated by the founding of the art club in 1940 by Miss Bernice McKin- ley, its present sponsor. Together with the art classes, the Palette Club sponsored an art exhibit to display your paintings and drawings in the library and nearby corridors. The club members visited art shops and museums to acquire a basis for better judg- ment and selection of objects used in every- day life. The hard-working officers who assisted Miss McKinley in directing the Palette Club were: Wlalter lirych, president: .luanita Kuntz, vice-president, Geneva Smith, secre- tary, Joan Crawford, treasurer, Marianna Morris, Red and lllue reporter: and Dick Renshaw, sergeant-at-arms.

Setting an example for other boys in K. H. S., the members of the Sir Walttrr Raleigh Club met with Mr. Earl Utterback and Mr. Robert Kennedy each club day and learned tips on courtesy, chivalry, and friendliness. Besides their lessons in etiquette, the members chose to edit and publish the Redbook, a stu- dent directory including the name, the year of school, the address, and the telephone number of each student. The Redbook is the first di rectory published here, and Kenny Smith and Don Mcliillip were editor-in-chief and busi- ness manager, respecti'vely. The officers were: Bob Smith, Lord High Chancellor, Don lXlcKillip, Lord Chancellorg Jack Taylor, Clerki of the Boardg Kenny Smith, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Leon Reed, Parliamentarian.

Movie Mongers Variety to Classworz Organized in 1941 to aid in the newly formed visual education department, the Op- erators Club probably renders the greatest ser- vice to the school. Almost every motion pic- ture given in classes, home rooms, or auditor- ium programs is operated by its members. Practically every period of the day, every day of the week, and every week of the year, you can hear a strange voice booming from an al- most totally dark Zl2A, for this is the projec- tion room of li. lfl. S. The full-length feature picture, I XYanted lVings,H was presented by this active club un- der the auspices of the Student Council. To operate the equipment, the members must pass proficiency tests. .-Xt the end of the year, they receive certificates of service from the school. instructive programs, such as the visit to the projection room of the Sipe Theatre and talks by professional operators, lent variety to the usual club meetings. Another activity of the reel-ment' was to provide the music for several of the matinee dances. Xfith a fine amplifying recorder and a nice supply of popular records, this project was carried out with a great degree of effic- iency.

You Helped to Buy This Bomber Last fall a new organization was formed to lead in the sale of war stamps and bonds throughout K. H. S. Although this Bond and Stamp Club had long been needed, it was finally formed when the Huy a Bomber campaign was started by the Lions Club. In order to buy this medium bomber, citizens of Kokomo bought extra war bonds and stamps amounting to Sl75,000 and designated them to be used for the bomber. You in K. H. 5. set your goal at 310,000 The progress of the campaign was regis- tered on a thermometer in the front hall. As the stamps and 'bonds were purchased, the temperature rose, and Hitler, who topped the thermometer. found his perch a trifle more precarious. lly the end of November, you top- ped your goal by over 351,000 Early in March, Mrs. Lena Coombs, the hard-working, efficient director of the com- mittee, accepted on behalf of the students a large picture of the Billy Mitchell ll-25 med- ium bomber which was appropriately named The Wfildcats of Kokomo.

Each oration was original, except for a few pointers from Miss Lilith Farlow. After weeks of prepara- tion and practice, the orations were given February 17, 1944, at the Legion Home. Betty Lou Morris was adjudged winner and was given a S25 XVar Bondg Elvin Elliot was awarded S10 in war stamps as second winner. The Organization Board is sometimes call- ed the Qverseer of the Clubs. livery demo- cratic group, of one kind or another, must have some form of legislative body to formu- late rules and regulations in order that it may function properly. The Organization Board forms that legislative body for the clubs of Kokomo High School. Page 100 fi lt is through the Organization lloard that a club is granted its charter. Yfhen a club or- ganizes. it must submit a list of its members, the names of its officers, the complete club program for the year, and the general aim of the club. ln this way the clubs may function for the good of their members. The officers were: 'lohn Myers, president. and lfstella Small, secretary. Miss lflizabeth Klclntosh, Mr. li. XV. Phillips, and Mr. li. D. Morris served as advisers.

Marches from the classics added a refinement to the program, and a few popular tunes left a sparkling note with you. In March, following the state basketball tournament, the band played at a program in honor of the team and Mr. King and then led the march through town to l7oster'l'ark. XYith this and a few spring convocations, the band and Mr. Mercer completed their year. Under Mr. Mahlon Merceris Baton As the scraping of violins ushered in another school year for the orchestra, the third-period library habituees held their ears and groanedg but as the week progressed, they began to perk up and listen to the harmony which floated from the music room. mAh, they exclaimed, something has been added. Kokomo High school students were soon formally introduced to a stream-lined orchestra under the baton of their new conductor, Mr. Mahlon Mercer. Under Mr. Mercer's guidance, the orchestra added zest to the Sargasso and Senior Class plays. Applause greeted their appearance in the Hullabaloo, and their April convocation was one of the most entertaining of 1944. With the June Commencement their music slowly faded, Mr. Mercer made his way from the podium. and the curtain was rung down on a most successful year of musical en- joyment.

Page 105 ncucizoos on the Hearthn The Dramatic Club has become a very im- portant part of Kokomo as well as K. H. 5. since it provides plays for the entertainment of you and your community. The purpose ot the organization is to develop the dramatic talent of its members and to foster interest in dramatic productions, the theatre, and the principles of drama. Each year the members, who are selected from sophomore, junior, and senior classes after a series of tryouts, are divided into three groups. Directed by one of the students, each group presents a one-act play. These pro- ductions are given on the stage of the auditor- ium as homeroom programs and also for out- side organizations. The proceeds received from these outside presentations are used to purchase makeup, scenery, and other needed stage equipment. Student directors for the one-act plays were Jacqueline Johnson, whose play was Back Row: Bob Dawson, Rex Fager, Clyde Golding, David Lewis, Tom Anderson.

The three-act play Cuckoos on the Hearth was supervised by the faculty advisers, aided by student director Nancy Isham. The club members have participated in many radio programs throughout the year. The biggest part they played was in the cele- bration of the one-hundredth anniversary of Howard County, for about three-fourth of the students who participated in the centennial program were Dramatic Club members. Those who served as officers were: Tom Anderson, president, Mary Ann Wiebers, vice-president: judy Mitchell, secretary, and Marjorie Harker, treasurer. Under the guid- ance of Miss Mary lf.

Thrills Mystified Audience Spine-tingling screams greeted a packed auditorium on the night of December 9, l944, as the K. H. S. Dramatic Club presented its annual Sargasso play. 'iCuckoos on the Hearthl, was the appropriate title for Parker l7ennelly's comedy-mystery. This improbable story was professionally enacted by a group of Kokomo High School's best dramatists. So realistically was the difficult play presented that the receptive audience sat on the edge of their seats and uttered many squeals of fear and delight. The second act of the production was the exciting murder story as written by an eccen- tric old author about whom the play was cen- tered. The third and final act dealt with the story as it actually happened. Stage lighting under the direction of Mr. B. D. Morris was a highlight of the play, since it had to be changed so often and was always exactly right. The snow storm which raged throughout the entire play was an example of the excellent staging which exceeded the usual high standards of the Dramatic Club. moves on.

Miss Lilith liarlow, director of the play, stayed after school with the cast for several weeks. Assisting Miss liarlow were Miss Gertrude Colescott and Mr. Lester McCarty. Together with twenty-four Seniors, Miss Farlow read and acted, gave cues and pointers in poise, until final dress rehearsal. Then on March 30 and 31, the play was theirs. linthusiastic crowds met them each evening, delighting in their portrayal of the Littles' lives. Sparkling and so very typical of all the scrapes you and your friends manage to get into, 'lThe Fighting Littlesf' written by Caroline Francke and adapted from a novel by Booth Tarkington, is the story of a charming young girl, Goody, whose youth- ful escapades ensnare the whole family. Al- mati'na, the cheery, lrish maid, calls the family to breakfast, and trouble begins to brew. Ham Ellers, a lively young man whom Goody likes very much, finds dis- favor with Mr. Little when he calls Goody t'lunks. Trying to help his daughter find a more suitable friend, Mr. Little encour- ages her to become interested' in a budding young business man. FRIDAY Hold Their Breath As the Curtain Rises ln the meantime, Filmer, the youngest of the household, finds that he doesn't hate An- toinette as much as he thought he did. ln fact, Olita, the peace-maker of the family, thinks it's sweet when he finds that he could almost not hate her at all. Mr. Little, finding both ottsprings in a dither, is befuddled and won- ders if a streak of insanity runs in his wife's family. However, when business man Norman Peel tries to tell him how to run his business throughout the dinner party given in honor of Goodfs room-mate guest, Henriette, Mrs. Lit- tle has a difficult task persuading Mr. Little to be a polite host. Much to Goody's surprise and delight, Mr. Little finally favors Ham lfllers. The curtain closed, and a burst of applause reached the ears of the players, who seurried back-stage and started wiping off the grease- paint and powder which had marked them members of the cast of ,44.

You and Your Newspaper When the members of the 1943-44 Red and Blue staff first met to organ- ize and produce a better publication, the chances of not publishi'ng the paper at all loomed before them. However, the eighty members of the editorial staff and the business staff's thirty-nine members did an excellent job of producing eighteen copies of the Red and Blue of which six were special issues. Although the size of the paper was made smaller, several pages were added so that the usual amount of news print could be continued. Also a roto section was sent by the Quill and Scroll Society and was distributed monthly during the second semester. Betty Noble was editor-in-chief the first semester and Marjorie Barker was given the duties of managing editor. ln the second semester Mary Jo Hubbard and Charmion Tooley, respectively, stepped into their places. Betty Noble was made news bureau director and Marjorie Barker, promotion manager. Headlines and Deadlines The role of business manager was shifted from Mary Ann llcfool to .Iuliana Maple in the mid-semester easting. Mr. Milton Green advised the edi- torial staff and Nr. lfred hlustard served as adviser to the business staff. Miss Yeclah Covalt also put in some trying hours with the lypists. The Red and ltlue was one of your publications to join two press assoeiae tions: The National Scholastic Association and the Quill and Scroll Society. The student body awaited each issue of the Red and lllue with eager en' lhusiasm, and the staff can be assured that their tireless efforts have been greatly rewarded.

SENIQRS SLAVE FUR SARGASSCD In publishing this yearbook you were confronted with the difficulties and shortages that accompany war. In order to obtain the best of everything for your book, higher prices had to be charged. But you were all cooperative, for from 1500 students in K. H. S. came 1150 subscriptions. Mr. Evart Adams, Sargasso pho- tographer, has provided you with the best of pictures even with the shortages of film and flash bulbs. Mr. Russell Benson of the Indianapolis Engraving Company gave you many ideas for your book. The patience, the suggestions and advice giv- en you by your printer, Mr. Russell Humphrey, are appreciated by you all. With- out their aid, and the intelligent guidance offered by your advisers, Miss Elizabeth Handley and Mr. tl. VY. Muncie, your Sargasso could not have been a success.
