Mr. Owen J. Neighbours ' retirement .after thirty- five years of faithful service in the Wabash schools , will end the career of one of our most successful superintendents. This success has been achieved not only in the field of education, but also in civic affairs. As a token of appreciation for his loyal service to the community, Mr. Neighbours was awarded the Distinguished Citizen Award, the first to be presented by the Wabash Chamber of Com- It is with sincere regret that the students and teachers witness his retiring as superintendent. MUd, MaMf, jUiMle Miss Mary Little, secretary to Mr. Neighbours during all his years as superintendent, is also retiring at the end of this school year. She, too, will be missed; for she has done much to in- crease efficiency in the handling of school business. Bo i,id ojf ducatio t Mr. Frank Rettig Treasurer Dr. George B.

Carpen- ter, under whose careful guid- ance Wabash High has become one of the finest schools in Indiana, was completing his service as the head. We are happy, however, that Mr. Carpenter has attained the high position of the superinten- dency of the Wabash City Schools. In reality he is not severing his connections with our school, only changing his responsibility to it. And we know that he will continue to be the understanding, kindly coun- selor for high school students , that he has always been. Congratulations to Mr. Carpen- ter from the Class of 1946. Mr. Phil N. Eskew, our princi- pal-elect, will, we feel sure, con- tinue the friendly, co-operative relations established by Mr. Carpenter. Mr. Eskew has served for several years as a capable and progressive tea- cher of the social studies and as boys ' advisor. H V uJmie . . , to Miss Cornelia Blayney, who is retiring this year after many years of un- excelled teaching in the Wabash schools. Her presentations of both Latin and history have inspired all of those students who have had the privilege of studying under her. Her preservation of order, her open-mindedness, and her understanding of our problems have helped us to personal disciphne and stimulated our minds to independent thinking. Last but not least among Miss Blayney ' s admirable qualities is her unfailing and subtle sense of humor, which has helped to make her one of the most popular teachers.

Just like all the other staffs, we had our difficult- ies, such as choosing the cover, getting all the pictures taken and, the most important, getting it off to the printers. The staff this year was led by Editor Doug Tillotson and Associate Editor Margie Ross. Working in the vari- ous fields were the following people: Phyllis Knotts, Business Manager; Emerson Erb, Associate; Robert Mar- tin, Circulating Manager; Jean Al- lard. As sociate; Jean Vice, Art Editor; Betty Addington, Assistant; Gale Crumrine, Snap-Shot Editor; Albert Parker, Assistant; William Reynolds, Photography Editor; Pete Allen, As- sistant; Barbara Carney, Typist; Jane Scheerer, Helen Marie Gilliespie, Wilma Petry, Anna Lee Baer, Assist- ants; Terry Cowen, Athletics Editor; Margaret Jo Turpen, Assistant; Ruth Story, Club Editor; Pat Schlemmer, Assistant.

Under the discerning guidance of the editors (Pat Schlemmer, Edi- tor-in-chief, John Nixon, Associate, Mar- gie Ross, Feature and David Harvey, Sports) the staff published the Orange and Black every three weeks during the year. Other staff members include Alice Ross as business manager; Jane Wimberly, circulation; Helen Pearson, advertising; Don Rhamy, Lyda Jane Burk and Bar- bara Bloxson, their respective assistants; Corinne Beitman, copyreader; Jean Vice, cartoonist; Ruth Story and Omadell Os- mon, typists.

S. students were to be solved, the Student Council solved them. They pondered many problems during the school year, ranging from selecting cheer leaders to deciding who would sponsor the Friday night school parties. Somewhat cramped in Mr. Carpenter ' s office every Monday during activity period, the Student Council made its decisions, which became, more or less, law. Under the leadership of John Rockwell, president; Jean Vice, vice-president and Tom Bowman, sec- retary-treasurer, the Council was spon- sored by Mr. Carpenter. unio lied G adA. The Junior Red Cross Council this year, in addition to its regular work, contin- ued the sale of stamps and bonds. Recently our school was awarded the Well Done insignia for its part in the Schools-at-War program. The sending of cheerful get-well cards to students who are ill was one of the activities most appreciated by students. Valuable assistance was also given in the Victory Clothing Drive. Officeri of the Junior Red Cross Council are: Richard Fox, president; David Ford, vice-president; Marjorie Flynn, secre- tary and Peggy Moore, treasurer.

Behind closed doors they rehearsed, rehearsed, and rehearsed. Several one-act plays were pro- duced as well as the annual Christmas play. The high light of the year was the presenta- tion of Pinafore , an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, April 28, 1946. Miss Cecilia Mills, sponsor, divided the club into two groups: the actors or those aspiring to be actors and the board composed of those who hung curtains, hunted furniture and cos- tumes. jbeLate. The question debated this year was Re- solved that every physically able male American citizen should be required to have one year ' s military training before reaching the age of 24. The debaters were Thomas Weesner and Quinnette Bol- sover, affirmative; Jack Thompson and James Heizer, negative. This Debate Class participated in two Ju- nior Town Meeting programs, sponsored by station WOWO. Mr. Tewksbury was the sponsor of this group.

Oilier Afod The Inter Nos, a club composed of stu- dents who have studied Latin for three or four years, is ably sponsored by Miss Corneha Blayney. The purpose of this club is to arouse interest in the classics and provide social enjoyment among its members. This year the club has enjoyed entertaining sophomore Latin students with a taffy pulling in the fall, a Christmas party, and a picnic in the spring. Officers this year are: Rich- ard Fox, president; Dave Harvey, vice- president; Marilyn Bowman, secretary- treasurer. 1st row, seated: Dave Harvey, Miss Blayney, Richard Pox, Marilyn Bowman. 2nd row: Alice Ross, Jane Stephens, Marjorie Lynn, Roland Schul, John Rockwell.

One of the newest organizations in Wa- bash High School is Los Amigos, the Spanish Club, incorporated last fall at the suggestion of students in that de- partment. Having survived for several months without any official title, the club was finally named Los Amigos (the Friends) after a club pin bearing that name had been chosen. The purposes of Los Amigos are to provide Spanish students a greater op- portunity to use and learn that lang- uage and to foment the ideals of Pan- Americanism by becoming more con- scious of Latin-American culture. Officers who were elected at the initial meeting were: Terry Cowen, president; Jim Jones, vice-president; Betty Adding- ton, secretary. JliL G i GUut- In the past years there have never been any special qualifications for membership in the Li- brary Club, other than the students ' interest. This year, however, Miss Pat Pettibone, spon- sor, has changed it. Since the library has been arranged differently, the members earn points by shelving, cataloging, and repairing the older books and preparing new books for circulation. In this way they gained valuable information concerning the library. To be able to vote and receive a pin one has to earn a required number of points. The club en- joyed various educational and social activities throughout the year. The following officers kept the club in running order: Sam Butterbaugh, President; John Corso, Vice-president; Peg- gy Moore, Secretary-treasurer.

Only the fellows who have earned major awards in the three major sports; namely, football, basketball, and track, are eligible to join. A few of their activities this year were: keeping the trophy case in A-1 condition, arranging for a W Club faculty team; boosting school spirits by selUng football and basketball booster pins, and closing the year with an annual banquet.

F. members know well the above lines and more too. Yes, there ' s more to it than this. Before a junior and senior girl can become a member, she must go through a period of pledging. This consists of dressing up in the strictest sense and learning the Ickeroo poem backwards too. The M. F. F. gave the football team a hamburger fry with the lowly pledges doing the kitch- en work, of course. In order to finance this they gave a dance and sold the C. I. A. C. con- ference handbooks.

Like almost every high school in Indiana, we have a Girls ' Athletic Association, whose pur- pose is to promote good sportmanship in every field. By the point system the girls may win numerals and letters. To earn these points they must participate in intra-mural sports and skill tests. Each year at the banquet an Honor Award, a silver cup, is presented to the senior girl cho- sen as the most outstanding G. A. A. member in scholastic, athletic, and other extra-curricu- lar activities. In 1945 Nancy Morrow received the cup. This year the cup was awarded to Jean Allard, the president of the association.

JINKS, Director The members of the Wabash High School Band, whether playing for students or giving a public per- formance, always present a pleasing program. Par- ticularly impressive have been such marching per- formances as were demonstrated between halves of football games. The band presented its annual winter concert in March. Work then began on numb ers to be played in competition with other Indiana schools in contests. At the district contest, held April 13, our band was awarded first place in the BB division, which meant ever harder practice for the state contest of May 4. Mr. Jinks, director, again deserves to be congratu- lated upon producing such a talented band. Row one: Beverly Vrooman, Barbara Carney, Art Eltzroth, Jean Ann Halderman.

This organization, with the sub-title International Honorary Society for High School Journalists, has chapters in most high schools to en- courage and recognize outstanding journalistic accomplishments. Mem- bership is limited to upper-classmen who, in addition to ranking in the upper third of their class scholastically, have done outstanding work in some phase of academic joumaUsm. Members of the Quill and Scroll for the present year are Pat Schlemmer and Marge Ross, (both elected last year) and David Harvey and John Nixon.

Membership in the local chapter of the National Thespian Dramatic Honor So- ciety is the goal that each dramatic club member strives for. The Thespian Club has been inactive socially this year due to the lack of members, but meetings were held at the regular dramatic meet- ings. To join the Thespians, a student has to have taken a major part in a three-act play or the minor part in sev- eral. He may also join if he has a ma- jor part in a one or two-act play. An- other way, if he is not a player, is to be an assistant director or a stage man- ager: Each year the Thespians choose a Star Thespian whom they consider outstand- ing in the Dramatic field. This year Douglas Tillotson and Richard Hipskind were chosen. The Best Thespian A- ward was earned by Richard Hipskind. [. Smile, George. 4. Shop fellows. !. Some of the Commercial girls. 5.

Miss Abby, Pat Schlemmer, and Miss Martha, Jean Vice, seem to be very intently listening. Teddy Brewster, Doug Tillotson, who thinks he ' s Teddy Roose- velt, summons his cabinet to go , to South Africa. Mortimer Brewster, Keith Waite, a dramatic critic, is in love with Elaine Harper, Margie Ross, the minister ' s daughter. Mortimer painfully listens to Offcer O ' Hara, John Nixon, as he relates his verson of a coming Broadway success, which he is writing. r Jonathon Brewster, John Smith, notorious killer, is knocked un- conscious by Officer Brophy, Terry Cowen, and Officer Klein, lim Jones. In the background is Lt. Rooney, John Coon, rather annoyed crt being delayed by the crazy Brewster family. Mr. Gibbs, Bob Martin, would-be victim of the Brewster sisters ' kindness, is urged by Miss Martha and Miss Abby to drink the elderberry wine.

COACHIJOHN TATUM The 1945 Wabash football season got off to a dismal start when the Apache eleven dropped their opening game to Kokomo 21-6 on their home field. Early in the game Sam Butter- baugh was put out of the game by an injury and did not return the remainder of the game. A different story resulted the next week when the Apaches walloped Elwood 33-12 with the reserves playing much of the game. Parks scored the only touchdown and extra point to win the next game over the Huntington Vikings 7-6. A week later the Plymouth Pilgrims came to Wabash and left with a 22-6 victory under their belts and the C. I. A. C. championship cinched. Peru journeyed to Wabash for the next game to be trounced 35-19 by a hard hitting backfield and a hard charging Apache line with Tillotson and Parks making the touchdowns behind su- perb blocking. Wabash met Warsaw the next Wednesday and came out victor with a 21-13 score with little Chuck Ferguson faking the ball and piloting the Orange and Black to a hard fought victory. Two 40-yard touchdown treks by Parks and the defensive line play of Runkle, Younglove, and Smith were deciding factors in the victory. Wabash set a new record against Alexandria the next Friday when they piled up over 200 yards in the combined penalty of both sides. The Apaches won 35-0. Marion won the Bell from Wabash in defeating the Scalpers 13-12 due to a last quarter fumble with a completed pass to cinch it. The Mooseheart Ramblers came to Wabash to put on an exhibition of how football should be played with the Wabash eleven responding by giving the boys from Illinois a good stiff fight all the way. Both teams gave all they had in the best game of the year with many of the Wabash reserves giving a good account of themselves. Runkle, Cowen, and Parks were voted to the first team in the all-conference selections, with Smith and Brill making the second team. Rockwell, Tillotson, and Younglove were voted to the third team. Parks received honorable men- tion in the all state selections. Terry Cowen was eleced honorary football captain for the year by his team- mates to end the 1945 season. Those playing their last game for WHS were Jones, Smith, Rockwell, Runkle, Brill, Cowen, Tillotson, Butterbaugh, Hipskind, and Baker. The Apaches finished their season with a record of five wins in nine starts and placed second in the conference with four wins and one loss. — 1945 — Wabash 7 Kokomo 21 Wabash 32 Elwood 12 Wabash 7 Huntington 6 Wabash 21 Warsaw 13 Wabash 7 Plymouth 22 Wabash 35 Peru 19 Wabash 35 Alexandria Wabash 12 Marion 13 Wabash Mooseheart (Illinois) 13 jJoM Uif SAM BUTTERBAUGH senior — halfback ART ELTZROTH senior — tackle JOHN STINEMAN junior — guard HAROLD BAKER senior — halfback MELVIN BRILL senior — tackle second team All Conference TERRY COWEN senior — center first team All Conference Jiettefumit « ' € ' J JOHN ROCKWELL senior — end third team All Conference DOUG TILLOTSON senior — fullback WALTER RUNKLE third team All Conference senior — tackle first team All Conference %v H FRED PARKS junior — halfback first team All Conference Honorable Mention All State JOHN SMITH LARRY MARTIN senior — end sophomore — halfback second team All Conference CHUCK FERGUSON junior — quarterback JIM JONES senior — guard and quarterback BUD FOX junior — fullback JACK YOUNGLOVE junior — guard third team All Conference ALBERT PARKER senior — manager 19 5 liaiketLaU 19 6 Seated: Don Reynolds, Bud Fox Row one: Jim Jones, Harold Baker, Tom Bowman, Jim Cairns, Stan Ford, Jim Emrick Row two: Coach Lawson, John Smith, Rich Miller, John Rockwell, Jim Parks, Dave Harvey, Don Winterrowd The basketball team of 1946 will be remembered by fans of Wabash as one of the greatest teams to come from Wabash High. For the first time since the establishment of the Central Indiana Athletic Conference in 1934, Wabash had a team that captured the crown. They finished first in the 1945-46 conference race with a total of ten wins and two defeats. The season record with eighteen games played was fifteen games won and three games lost. Cage play opened with North Manchester on the Apache home court where the scalpers rolled to a 34-23 victory with a preview of the type of red hot basketball they were to display all season. Huntington was the next Scalper victim succumbing to the locals with a 45-38 score. John Rockwell, W. H. S. pivot man, tossed in 23 counters to pace the cagers. A week later, the Linlawn Pirates came to Wabash to be overrun by the Apaches 55-40. The following week, Alexandria pushed the Wabash five all the way, but with a last quarter spurt the Apaches put the game on ice with the final score stand- ing 51-44. Monticello fell next to the Apaches 56-38 when the home five dis- played a really fast and exciting type of ball. A week later Rochester, the team that had been the Apache downfall in the conference a year ago, received the full force of the avenging Apaches when Rockwell scored 32 points to tie the conference individual scoring record for one game and Miller, Jones, Ford, and Bowman helped him stack up a 52-19 score. Tipton came to Wabash the next day only to fall before the same flash and spark that the Scalpers had in all the previous games with a 64-47 score. Logansport was the scene of the next Apache victory. This game proved to be one of the most thrilling of the season ' s contests when Tico Miller tossed a 2 pointer in during the waning seconds to win the game 50-49. Huntington handed Wabash their first defeat in the New Year ' s day tourney after the Apaches had won over Peru in the first game 33-30. The final game score was 47-39. Peru came to Wabash the following week to bow before the Apaches to the tune of a 43-35 score. Marion was downed in the next game in much the same manner with a 44-33 score. Burris of Muncie was the next in line of Wabash wins with Bowman highlight- ing the game with his defensive play and the remaining four Apaches scoring to win 42-32. Elwood rung up the next Wabash victory with a 51-29 final tally. The first conference defeat was handed the locals when Rochester played a hard and revengeful game to win a close 40-38 contest. But the Apaches were to bounce back into the conference lead the following game when Plymouth lost a wide open game 70-51. Again it was Bowman who paced the Apaches with his brilliant defensive antics. The Circus City team fell to Wabash for the third time when the locals gave Peru a 44-38 beating. However the victory streak was broken first by South Side of Ft. Wayne over the Apaches 49-43, then by Kokomo with a 33-48 loss. Wabash went into the sectional tournament with a record of sixteen wins and four losses to defeat South Whitley, Urbana, Chester, and Lagro to cop the sectional crown. At Marion the regional champs, Gas City, defeated Wabash in the first game 36-34 to end the Apache season. John Rockwell was voted to the all conference first team, and Tom Bowman and Jim Jones were chosen as second and third team players respectively. Major award winners for the season were Rockwell, Ford, Bowman, Jones, Miller, Cairns, Baker, Harvey, Smith, and Parks. Returning next year will be Cairns, Harvey, and Parks.

BaikeHudl 1945 — 1946 The Wabash B team, known as the Junior Apaches, were slow in starting at the first of the season dropping five of their first seven games. Although the team won only four of the eighteen games played, it served its main purpose in giving the younger players the necessary experience needed when in the future they will be the varsity cagers. Stimulated by the traditional rivalry, the B squad defeated their old rivals, Warsaw and Plymouth. They displayed an exceptional brand of basketball in their wins, giving the fans a prospect of good seasons in the future. li learn Sckedide Wabash 16 No. Manchester 26 Wabash 9 Huntington 24 Wabash 31 Warsaw 23 Wabash 23 Linlawn 24 Wabash 23 Alexandria 33 Wabash 26 Monticello 27 Wabash 29 Rochester 20 Wabash 26 Tipton 18 Wabash 15 Logansport 29 Wabash 15 Peru 17 Wabash 7 Marion 15 Wabash 25 Burris of Muncie 27 Wabash 22 Elwood 33 Wabash 16 Rochester 17 Wabash 37 Plymouth 23 Wabash 12 Peru 20 Wabash 19 S.

S. track men are in the midst of their ' 46 season, having eight meets behind them, two of which were wins. They have had meets with Chester, Harlford City, Peru, Warsaw, Marion, Huntington, Central Fort Wayne and have competed in the Muncie Relays, and the Kokomo Relays. Remaining are the sectional meet at Kokomo and the conference meet at home when Wabash will defend their last year ' s C. I. A. C. Championship. The conference meet last year was held at Peru with Wabash competing in a field of ten schools. Wabash won with a score of 52 ' 72 points defeating the closest school, Huntington, by 18 points. Barnhart and Sullivan placed first and second in the mile run. Marks copped a second in the 440 yard dash. Gurtner won the high hurdles and got a second in the low hurdles with Ford taking a fifth in that race. The mile relay team, composed of Marks, Kelly, Gurtner, and Miller garnered second place while Barnhart came in first in the 880 yard run with Miller taking fifth. While Tones and Schlemmer tied with 3 others foi third, fourth, and fifth in pole vault and Rockwell and Weaver received first and second in the shot put, Marks placed second in the broad jump to chalk up the final points to enable the Wabash team to win the C.
