The track was built in 1902 by William Harley, county surveyor, and was organized in 1903 as the Montpelier Fair and Driving Park. Its first president was H. Zigler, Montpelier's first mayor. C. L. Smith was the first secretary. This organization operated the races until 1913, when the track was demolished by a tornado. In 1915, however, the track was rebuilt by subscriptions from business men, who formed a new association with Dr. Atwood Buckmaster, president, and H. L. Kelley, secretary. In 1916 the track was again taken over by the Montpelier: Fair and Driving Park Board, only to be destroyed in 1917 by a second tornado. After that it lay there until 1924, when H. L. Kelley bought it at the receiver's sale and formed a new association, H. L. Kelley and Family, which operated until Class of '36, and the of '38. 1944. The treasurer was Helen Kelley Elzey of the secretary was Margaret Ann Kelley Miles of the Class ln 1944 the Montpelier Racing Company was formed and still operates the track. Of this company, Foster Maddox of the Class of 1908 is the president, and Earl St. John, the secretary. The Class of '49 salutes this home town institution, which supplied the name for our basketball team, the Pacers. TRANSPORTATION Bicycles carry many students to M. H. S. Here the cyclists are taking oif for lunch. 2 Most of the students living in town walk to school. A fleet of seven buses carries the coun- try students to school in fair and foul weather.

We lost one in the fall, Then one more came to call, And we had thirty-five to win. First comes president Dick Sutton: He is a yell-leader, too. Of him we are proud As we yell, oh, so loud, Until our faces are blue. Charles Cain, our basket-ball hero, Is Joy Nell's worship and p1'ide. While he runs 'cross the floor To bring up the score, i She yells her delight from the s1de. Charlene and Julia and Margaret Are our titian-haired girls. But Sharon's hair's brown, So she says with a frown, And shakes her auburn curls. Wava Jean and Barbara love Ball State, And to Keith and Dick they are true. Wava .lean's in a spin Wearing Keith's frat pin, And Barbara may get one, too! Joan Clamme and Delores are from Dildine, But they love M. H. S. anyhow. They will ever be true To the gold and the blue, And Pat has joined in the Vow.

Three soon withdrew: Helen Hoover, Dorothy Gibson, and Hulda Emshwiller. Members entering the race late were Luella Hummer from Dunkirk, Eugene Caylor from New Castle, Charles Cain from Roll, Floyd Ely from Muncie, and Margaret Ramseyer and Wava Jean Ford from Hartford City. Leading the one-year-olds was Barbara Neff, and following close behind was Charles Cain. Pat Schuller planned to keep close track of the race money. Advising the group were Marilyn Haynes and Jesse Rogers, and sponsoring it were Miss Rea and Mr. Bohr. The yearlings had a feed on November 8, and all the new members were initiated. ' On April 12, the yearlings gave their annual public show-oif. On September 4, 1946, the two-year-olds were placed in their hurdles ready to start on their second heat. Fifty-one entered this race, but Lloyd Anderson, Pansy Brown, Robert Comstock, Helen Morgan, and Alvin Rogers withdrew. Only two entered lateg Wayne Bantz from Dunkirk and Delora Hayes from Petoskey, Michigan. Joy Nell Love headed the race this year with Pat Schuller trailing close behind. Responsible for the money during the race was Jesse Rogers. Marilyn Krebs and James Bedwell advised the group, and Miss Morton and Mr. Brinkerhoff sponsored it. The two-year-olds held a Halloween feed on October 23 and gave the second annual public show-off entitled Nothing but the Truth on February 21. September 4, 1947, began one of the busiest and most exciting heats of the race. The third heat began with a bang, showing forty-three experienced three-year-olds in their hurdles. Withdrawals from the race were Bobby Coiiield, Richard Cunnington, Eugene Hawk, Junior Keagle, Marilyn Krebs, Paul Lautz- enhiser, and Leroy Parker. Only one entered late, Shirley Irwin from Fairmount. Plugging ahead this year was Patsy Schuller, and trotting a split second behind was Marilyn Haynes. The task of accounting for the race money was given to Joan Clamme. To advise the group, the racers appointed Jeanice Cale and Roy Bell. The sponsors were Miss Nelson and Mr. Wilson. Joy Nell Love and Jack Gilbert were chosen for Student Affairs, which has charge of all school activities. The school chose Jesse Rogers from the group to serve on the Athletic Board. During the year the three-year-olds sponsored two magazine sales to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet. One of the happiest events of the year came on February 15, when the class rings arrived. Also in February the annual public show-off was given, consisting of a short George Washington skit, a song entitled, 'Tm My Own Grandma, and a song by ,leanice Cale accompanied by Joy Nell Love. On April 12 the Junior Class play, The Inner Willy,,' was given. The last and most exciting lap of the third heat came on May 14, when the Junior-Senior banquet and prom took place. The theme, '6Apple Blossom Time, was carried out in the decorations and in the speeches. The fourth and final heat began on September 4, 1948, with thirty-four mem- bers in their hurdles. There were two withdrawals, Mary Wilson and Joan White. Bob Simmons, a World War 2 veteran, was graduated with the class. Everyone held his breath to see who would lead the group this year. Dick Sutton came in in the lead and Clyde Bennett second. Delores Leech took care of the race money. Advisers of the four-year-olds were Charlene Fisher and Donnie Brown. For the Student Affairs, Pat Schuller and Jesse Rogers were chosen. Joy Nell Love served on the Athletic Board. Sponsoring the dignified four-year-olds were Miss Albertson and Mr. Morgan. The colors for the class were blue and white, and the class ilower was the red carnation. If we rest, we rust was the class motto. This year the four-year-olds sponsored the Berne Accordion Band to raise money for the publication of their Annual. In November they presented a skit, Wfruth or Consequences, introducing the Annual drive. The Pelier Hotshotsi' gave two musical numbers, Buy an Annual, and 'Tm Forever Signing Annualsf' On February 18 the annual public show-oH' was given, which was a pres- entation of The Old Village School. On May 6 the group gave their class play entitled Two Gentlemen and Veronaf, Senior exam day was on the 17th, a day that all the four-year-olds looked forward to. One spring day that we shall never forget is the one on which the Annuals arrived. It was a day when we thought we would never get out of the halls into class. Then came the last and final lap of the grand race: the Junior-Senior banquet and prom on May 20, Baccalaureate services on May 22, Honor Day on May 23, Commencement on May 24, and Alumni Banquet on May 27.

The Class of '49 THE CAINS ENTERTAIN FORMER CLASSMATES Montpelier, .luly 20, 1959- After an exciting day at the Montpelier races, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cain, the former Joy Nell Love, gave a party at their chicken ranch, honoring Miss .loan Denton, whose horse took first place. All their classmates were invited. First to come chugging up the lane in their horseless carriage were Miss Lillie Albertson and Mr. H. G. Morgan, former sponsors of the class, wearing super-de luxe black derbies. Next to arrive were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stepp, the former Jeanice Cale, with their twins, Charles and Charlene. Donnie Brown, famous artist at the Metropolitan Art Gallery in New York, flew in to display his recent portrait of Peggy Bcdwell, a Powers model. Jesse Rogers, the new ag. teacher at Montpelier High, arrived with Johnnie Herrin, local Oldsmobile dealer. Miss Pat Schuller came with her boss, Dick Sutton, senator for District 5, and Miss Charlene Fisher, a concert pianist, canceled her evening performance just to attend the party. 'Dr. Clyde Bennett and his nurse, Miss Wava ,lean Ford, were on hand in case anyone should catch coccidiosis from the Cains' chickens. Roy Bell, producer of the new motion picture hit, NA Day in M. H. S. starring Wilma Reff, came in just as Phyllis Melick, who recently took over the Morton Downing radio show, appeared on the television screen. While the guests were admiring the new hair style of .loan Clamme, styled by the famous beautician Delores Leech, the Cains received a telegram from ,lim Bedwell, stating that he would be unable to attend because of spring round-up on his Texas ranch, and a call from Rita Jester Love to say that they could not come because they could not find a baby sitter. Paula Berrier, Luella Huntzinger, and Alice Barrington were also a bit late after selling their famous Pa-Lu-Al's thot dogsj at the racesg and Robert Russell, late as usual, entered just in time for refreshments. The refreshments were secured from former classmates. Bob Kreischer, manager of Russell's Dairy, supplied the milk. fThey don't call him 4'Slim any more.j Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cromer, owners of the Three C Store fCromer Candy Counterj in Trenton, furnished the fudge, and Margaret Bamseyer baked a large cake, which was used for the center piece of the table.
