Zetta Cox May, Waterloo, Indiana Vantippa Ling Achemire, Auburn, Indiana Annie Knox, deceased ZETTA COX MAY VANTIPPA LING ACHEMIRE History of Ashley High School One day in July, 1891, a placard appeared sticking in a straw stack, located near the site of the present community building, with bold letters ‘‘ASHLEY’’, That was the beginning of Ashley. The wheels of progress began turning very rapidly. Along with this progress of a growing town came the need of a schoolhouse which was built almost immedi- ately. It was a two story, six room, red brick building with a central hall on each floor. The rooms each had a cloak room and an office was located in the east end of the upper hall, The location of this school was where the present school now stands and is still a part of it. The building was ready to occupy in December, 1892. It was opened by the school board. The first teaching staff was Superintendent William May and four grade teachers. There was no high school set up this first sho rt year. The advanced _ students met with the eighth grade in an assembly room on the second floor and studied advanced grade and some high school work. The regular high school course began the fall of 1893 with a four year curriculum. However, the first group who entered high school had to complete the course in three years with plenty of home work to accomplish this goal. Although the school was small, they had a library which grew so rapidly in size that it soon outgrew its space in a corner of the assembly and was moyed to the Superintendent’s office. This was not an unused library either, as much of the re- quired knowledge could only be found in its books. As the population of the town grew so did the school and by necessity the teaching force. These teachers were not ordinary ones and tribute is due them. They were ever firm in expecting good work of the students but were always kind and ready to help any student who would ask for help. The students’ friends and helpers did not end at school with the teachers, but included the janitor, Mr. Greeno. He had the qualifications necessary to deal with so many active children, Not a kinder, gentler or more thoughtful man could have held the position. His duties were many and endless as each room was heated by a large Round Oak stove which consumed cords and cords of wood to keep the youngsters warm, Because all loved this man, he was no doubt a part of the general education program of character building for both boys and girls carried wood at noon and re- cess from the outside of the building to the rooms. The first high school class began with several in number, but they dropped out one by one until at the close of three years there remained three girls, Anna Knox, Van Tippi Ling, and Zetta Cox, to graduate. School was not over for these first graduates until the end of the graduation exercises, There were no outside speakers then, The class members were required to write an oration, not less than twenty minutes in length, committed and delivered without notes at the commence- ment exercises. All three girls successfully accomplished this requirement and were presented at the end of the exercise on June 6, 1896, by Superintendent William May, the first diplomas of the School of Ashley. --Zetta May Cox ADMINISTRATION RALPH HAMMAN LLOYD BRAND CARL F, STALLMAN Trustee Trustee Superintendent 1950 1951 De Kalb County Schools FRED FREDERICK Principal Tri-State A.B.

To the school as a whole, we leave. the echoes of our little feet across the assembly floor, our gentle voices drifting through the lower halls, and our relieved sighs when at last we clutch our long-awaited diplomas in our hot little hands. To the principal and teachers, we leave four bottles of aspirin and this word of en- couragement: ‘‘There’s better days a comin ?!”’ To the slap-happy Juniors, we leave our serious and sensitive natures, To the Sophomores, we leave the greater part of all that dignity which our class has been willed during the past three years. P.S. Although this dignity is third- handed, it is hardly used. To the Freshmen, we leave these suggestions: 1, Be good, 2. If you can’t be good, be wise. 3. If you can’t be good, and you can't be wise, then BEWARE! A nd last, but not least, to the janitors we leave the strength to carry on in the face of all those discarded exam papers, torn up love letters and vulgar cuds of gum, Lastly, we, the following individuals, do hereby will these prized possessions: I, Dale Altimus, will my ability to annoy the bus driver to Billy Stonebraker. I, Harold E, Arney, will my shy and modest ways to Floyd Schwortzengraber, I, Marie Bell, will my bashfulness to Arlene Zongker., I, Mona Boyd, will my freckles to Bertha Voges. I, Harold Buchs, will my ability to get away with murder in History Class to any of you poor kids who can’t play basketball. I, Dixie Casselman, will my superior driving ability to Tuffy Wiler.

I, Francis Ellert, will my ability to charm the 7th and 8th grade girls to Everett Reinoehl, I, Pat Ferris, will my ability to control my temper in typing class to anyone who is taking typing next year. You'll need it? I, Max Gipple, will my mad passion for the girls to lonely-heart Van Smith, I, Robert Hartman, will my broad shoulders and my Casanova ways to Byron Teegarden, I, Duane Heller, will my ability to study and behave in school to Charles Kessler, I, Pearl Kessler, will my ability to get along with Miss Eckles to Jean Brand. I, Donna King, will my ambition to become a private secretary to Arlene Kester so that her boss may sit on her lap. I, Rita King, will my ability to remain cool and calm in the face of exasperating situations to the Editor of the annual of 1952. � Earnest Ladd, will my ability to skip typing class to Ralph Clark, so that Miss Gfellers will have someone to scold, = I, Gene Miller, will my slim and graceful figure to Judy Shore. I, Joan Miller, will my sack of marbles to Tommy Brand so that he can go on throw- ing them in Miss Eckles’ assembly. I, Jim Redmon, will my long, rangy figure to Jimmy Warner. I, Nina Reinoehl, will my three years cheerleading experience to Ann Ayers. I, Patty Sanders, will my ability to go with the boys to Anita Montgomery.

I, Earl Warstler, will my slow and careful driving ability to Fred Frederick in hopes that he will use it before he kills someone, In witness whereof, we have subscribed our names and caused our seal to be affixed this 23rd day of February, in the year nineteen hundred fifty-one. --Class of Nineteen Hundred Fifty-One 19 20 Prophecy As we gaze into our old crystal ball, we see that the Seniors are very busy. Let’s find out what is going on in this year of 1961. Dale Altimus, who used to dribble a basketball down the floor in his high school days, is now mopping up the dribbles on the deck of the A.H.S. Battleship. Harold Arney, who has just finished four years of college, is now a chemistry teach- er at the Ashley High School. In his younger days he said that he would like to blow up the school. We wonder what he will do now. Marie Bell is still trying to decide whether to choose a soldier or a civilian for her dream man, ‘‘What’s the matter, Marie, doesn't Army life agree with you?”’ Mona Boyd has finally decided to join the WAVES so that she can be near her husband who is a Naval Officer. Harold Buchs is now a star forward for the Pistons. We saw him play the other night at Fort Wayne Coliseum. Dixie Casselman, who’s great ambition was to become a stenographer, is now a private secretary. We hear her boss is very handsome, No wonder she works overtime. Bill Chrisman, who is now Vice-President for the Shore Publishing Company, was advanced from accountant since his marriage to their daughter, Carl Dilley has become the oil tycoon of Ashley, Indiana, Since he has become a millionaire he has done quite a lot for the city of Ashley, and can now be rightly called ‘Diamond Jim”’. Francis Ellert, star pitcher and first baseman for the New York Yankees, just passed Babe Ruth’s home run record by hitting sixty-three home runs last season, Pat Ferris, as we predicted, did marry Ora Stackhouse, (By the way, Pat, what is that old saying, ‘‘Cheaper By The Dozen’’?) Max ‘‘The Flash ’ Gipple is breaking all records as shortstop for the Detroit Tigers. Last season he was voted the most valuable player in the American Leagues, Bob Hartman, who was piloting a plane for TWA, is now piloting a baby carriage around central park for MAMMA! Duane Heller, who used to shine up cars for his customers, in his garage, is now shining up the brass on his Commanding Officer's uniform, Pearl Kessler now has her own beauty salon. We hear she is doing very well. Congratulations, Pearl. Donna King is one of San Francisco’s famous fashion designers. Why is it that the women are talking all over the town, is it because of Donna’s shocking de- signs ? Rita King has moved from office girl to the President's private secretary. Lately most of the government workers seem to be women, could Rita have anything to do with this ? Ernie Ladd (Tennessee Ernie), famous Hollywood cowboy star and western songster, has married his cowgirl sweetheart, ‘‘Cactus Lil’’. Gene Miller is now a great television actor. He was discovered while he was a cameraman when the camera turned around and shot him instead of the love scene that was going on. Joan Miller, the popular Ashley High cheerleader, is now leading the cheers for the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons, James Redmon, whose great ambition was to become a mechanic, is now down in Miami Beach, Florida blowing up innertubes for the swimmers. | Nina Reinoehl, that beautiful soprano singer of the Senior Class, is now the leading lady in the New York Metropolition Opera. Patty Sanders has just received an assignment of the missionary work in India. Better make room for two, Patty, you can't leave that husband at home. Jenovie Shipe is now a famous doctor in Chicago, She is specilizing in the field of insomnia and alcholics. : Beverly Stomm, whom we considered to be the quiet, silent type, has proved, since her marriage to Bob Farver, that she can speak her mind very well. Helen Stomm is now a beautician in Paris. Her beautiful hair styling c-rtainly goes well with those famous Paris designs. Jane Stoy is now teaching physical education in New York City. You'll have to take it easy now, Jane, remember you're not in Ashley High now. Letitia Vian is a famous model in Hollywood. Some say she will turn out to be a sec- ond Betty Grable. (With those legs, who wouldn't?) Earl Warstler is now a famous race driver. All of his classmates remember him for his speedy driving around school, A Tribute To Our Sponsor and Principal Our sponsor in this, our Senior year, has been Mr. Frederick. Although this was the only year that he has been our sponsor in name, he has guided and lead us for four years, At one time or another he has helped us all over a rough spot and en- -couraged us when we needed encouraging. His sense of hunor has cheered us up many times when we felt all was lost and we were on the verge of giving up. His assistance and advice have invariably proven to lead to the right path and now as we near our graduation, we say the only thing we can that will cover everything he has done for us: Thank you, Mr. Frederick, for everything. --Harold E. Arney, Jr. 21 22 Class History Four years ago, a class of forty-two Freshmen entered high school. As they always say, ‘‘We were feeling mighty green.’’ We were frightened too! However, we held our first class meeting in regular grown-up fashion, to elect Bob Hartman, President; Billy Chrisman, Vice-President; Nina Reinoehl, Secretary; Marilyn Alleshouse, Treasurer; Joan Miller, Reporter and Virginia McDonald, Sponsor, Over Thanksgiving Gerald Buchs lost his life in a hunting accident. This was a great shock to all his classmates. During the remaining part of the year Elizabeth Collins and Norma Pankop left us. We held two parties that year - a skating party at Silvermoon the first semester and a picnic at Pokagon State Park followed by a movie in Angola the second semester. The Sophomore year found us minus six students from the previous year, We had gained three new ones: Jannis Becker, Thelma McKean and Earl Warstler. By now we were well accustomed to lessons and studying, so before long we chose Billy Chrisman, President; Carl Stout, Vice-President; Earl Warstler, Secretary-Treas- urer; Joan Miller, Reporter and Paul Everitt as sponsor. Starting with a bang, the class journeyed to Kendallville to attend a movie returning to Carl Stout's home for refreshments and recreation. In November, we chose our class rings and in January we were proudly holding out our hands for admiration, Before long we selected our class colors, red and gray, and our class flower, the red rose. Several of our pupils took part in two plays given before the P.T.A. in February, Under the guidance of Bob Hartman as President, Bill Clark as Vice-President, Dixie Casselman as Secretary, Helen Stomm as Treasurer, Harold Arney as Re- porter and Dolly Arney as Sponsor, we began our Junior year with determination. We lost Jannis Becker, Thelma McKean and Howard Zerkle. We chose our play and play cast the very first thing and ‘'For Pete's Sake’’ was presented successfully on November 9th, Next we began our new experience as salesmen, our wares consist- ing of ice cream, candy and pencils, The goal, of course, being to take the Seniors ona trip, Carl Stout discontinued his work the second semester, Two parties were held - one at Christmas time consisting of a pot luck supper, exchange of gifts and a program of fun, Toward the close of the school year, a Junior-Senior Spring Party was held in the Town Hall. A week later we went on our longed-for trip to Detroit and Toledo with the Seniors as our guests, The Senior year opened with a proud display of diamonds by Beverly Stomm, Pat Ferris and Mona Boyd. Marilyn Alleshouse, Bill Clark, Barbara Days and Walter Silberg did not return with the rest, however. Bob Hartman was again elected Presi- dent; Jim Redmon, Vice-President; Pat Ferris, Secretary; Helen Stomm, Treasurer; Rita King, Reporter and Mr. Frederick, Sponsor. At Christmas, we took time off for a party at the Arney’s home. After playing games, and exchanging gifts, we ate light refreshments, Our former classmate, Bill Clark, now in the Marines, was our honor guest and was presented a pen and pencil set from the class. Next on the agenda came our class play, ‘‘Act Your Age’’, and from then on we found ourselves ina turmoil of play practice and trying to complete the annual, Finally there came the end of our school days - the trip, ba calaureate and commencement, although in our minds, we know ‘‘The End Is Not Yet’’, UNDER GRADS ANGUS BURCH TOMMY BRAND 7 ANN ELLERT DAYTON FUNK PATRICIA HANES TOMMY HARMES LAVON HASSELMAN LYNN JOHNSON ELENOR MAVIS LOUIS MILLER 24 PHYLLIS MILLER LEO PFEFFERKORN BILL STONEBRAKER WAYNE ORWIG RONALD PARKER JOYCE PERKINS MERRITT SHIPE GAYLEE SNYDER HARLAN STRITE EVENELL SUTHERLAND BERTHA VOGES DONNA WALKER LAWRENCE WILER JOANN WILHELM 25 RUTH BOWERMAN BOB BOWMAN JEAN BRAND PATRICIA GRAMLING DICK GREENWALT JEWELL HALL JOHN HARTMAN DON HELLER BRIAN HAMMAN Suis rire DONALD KANAGA LAURA KNEUBUHLER CHARLES KESSLER ARLENE KISTER BONNIE LOUCKS 26 @ DARELL MAVIS CAROL McCLELLAN BETTE ANN McCLISH SHIRLEY METZGER ANITA MONTGOMERY KENNETH PARKER BETTY JO PARNELL MORRIS PERKINS PHYLLIS PERKINS CAROL ROGERS JOHN SHIPE JUDITH SHORE HAROLD SMITH MARYELLYN SMITH VAN SMITH RAY STAHL BRYON TEEGARDEN GLORA WARNER CLYDE WARSTLER ARLENE ZONKER Sophomore Class John E.

They won most of their games, although they went into a slump towards the end of the season. This year’s team though short, was one of the fastest in DeKalb County. They won the DeKalb County Tourney, defeating Spencerville, Waterloo and Garrett. In the Sectional, however, luck was not with them. They drew for their first game the high-flying Auburn Red Devils. The Aces played a good game, but the Red Devils were red hot and won, 94-50. Harold ‘Fat’ Buchs broke his own county scoring record which he set last year as he racked up a total of 350 points during the season to win the county scoring championship. This year’s team was composed of eight Seniors and three Juniors. One of the Juniors, Tommy Harmes, didn't play on the first team until the last game of the season and he also played in the sectional tourney. The eight Seniors - Harold Buchs, Francis Ellert, Dale Altimus, Ernie Ladd, Max Gipple, Bob Hartman, Jim Redmon, and Billy Chrisman - are really going to be missed next year. Buchs is a three year man; he started playing on the varsity in his Sophomore year. Ellert, Altimus, Ladd and Hartman donned their varsity suits in their Junior year. Gipple, Redmon, and Chrisman were moved up to the first team in their Senior year, The other two Juniors, Lawrence Wiler and Ralph Clark, along with Harmes will com- pose the nucleus of Coach Everitt’s squad next year. Second Team Basketball The Ashley second team this year won the State Corner Conference Basket- ball Championship with a record of 6-0 in conference play. They barely missed winning the DeKalb County Championship by the roll of a ball. With about one second to go and trailing by one point, Stackhouse took a shot that hit the rim, roll- ed around and finally fell off the wrong way. The second team was composed of - Tommy Harmes, Don Stackhouse, Bill Stonebraker, Lynn Johnson, John Shipe, Tommy Brand, Don Kanaga, Van Smith, Dayton Funk, Myron Hoyer, Ronald Parker, and Kenny Parker. 45 46 gee vay Y ' wk Veet? y : i my a4 € eee ae Freshman Basketball Team 1ST ROW: J.

We played seven games, losing 4 and winning 3. We won from Waterloo, Fairfield, and Corunna and lost to St. Joe, Waterloo, Fair- field and Garrett, We tried to show that consistant athletes usually are good citizens and good workers in school. While we lost more games than we won, we learned to take our losses in the spirit of sportsmanship. Student Managers The student managers this year were Jerry Parnell and Jackie Brooks. These boys have a hard job todo, Among their duties are keeping track of the shots that the Aces and Bees take; trying to keep track of all of the basketballs, the players’ warm-up shirts, watches, rings, etc. They have to get towels and lemons for the players during time out periods and act as messenger boys when the occasion arises, They deserve a lot more credit than they get because there's surely not glory in their job. 47 48 Freshman Baseball Team 1ST ROW: J.

Summary: Ashley 7 Angola 11 Ashley 8 Angola 4 Baseball Ashley took the Tri-County League Championship again this year for the second straight year. Their record for the season was 6 wins and 1 loss. Their only defeat came at the hands of Albion 5-0. This year sees the graduation of five players on the team; Harold Buchs, who with Francis Ellert, provided a tough pitcher-lst baseman combination. Both boys handle either position in good shape. Max Gipple will certainly be missed. His play around shortstop at times was phenomenal, Dale Altimus played 2nd base his Junior year, but last year found this lad doing a great job behind the plate. Ernie Ladd showed his worth in the outfield. Next year will see Lawrence Wiler, Ralph Clark, Tommy Harmes, Wayne Orwig, Don Stackhouse and John Shipe back on the diamond for A.H.S.

We had some members enrolled in most all of the different pro- jects. Fairfield township had a completion high enough to receive a charter for it. We won about as many prizes as it is possible to win. Girls’ 4-H In 1950 there were thirty-eight members in 4-H. The club consisted of two divisions, Each division held one meeting a week. The two clv s were clothing and baking. There were also a few in food preparation, The Junior leader of the baking division was Elenor Mavis; the President was Janice Allen. The Junior leader of the clothing division was Marie Bell; assistant Junior was Velma Beard. The President was Beverly Stomm. This year was quite eventful for our baking division, Elenor Mavis’ exhibit was nice enough that she received the honor of taking it to the state fair. There were a few contestants in the county judging and demonstration. The following are the club members of this year: FIRST ROW: P. Camp, N. Warstler, R. Davis, N. Phillips, B. Reinoehl, C.

A, The Ashley Chapter of Future Farmers of America is one of the many chapters organized in many vocational agricultural departments of each state of the United States and its possessions. The aims of the chapter are to foster in- terest in farm life and bring the farm boys interested in agriculture closer to- gether. We are trying to have the boys do better project work through the F.F.A. so they can advance in the degrees of Future Farmers. A few were made Green Hands this year. There are several trying for Chapter Farmer. The chapter is engaged in a balanced program of money-making activities. We are selling chocolate milk and orangeade at noon, We have a coke machine in school to sell coke. During the basketball games we sold coke. We have been selling jello around the community. We have been having a scrap drive. We are selling gar- den seeds and mailbox name plates. The F.F.A. sponsors the 4-H Club work in Smithfield and Fairfield Townships and pays for the trip to Canada for the 4-H Junior leaders. The officers for the year of 1950-1951 are as follows: President, Carl Dilley; Vice-President, Robert Hartman; Secretary, Tommy Brand; Treasurer, Merritt Shipe; Reporter, Ronald Parker; Watch Dog, Dayton Funk; Advisor, Wade Libey. 4-H Junior Leaders The Junior leaders for Fairfield were: Dean Brenneman, Loran Smith, Merritt Shipe and Tommy Brand; and for Smithfield: Carl Dilley, James Conrad, LaVon Bender and Ronald Parker. The Adult Leader is Wade Libey. The Junior Leader’s job is to help the younger members with their projects so they will complete their work, The Junior Leaders received a trip to Canada this year, The Junior Leaders of the girls are:. Evanell Sutherland, Joyce Perkins, .Elenor Mavis, Joyce Hecht, Marie Bell and Marlene Brenneman, They found it quite an experience to work with the other members of the club. They had quite a responsibility because they taught the younger ones how to do things. They also encouraged others to join 4-H. 5a The Band — ‘iii poe sce ep A The Majorettes Majorettes: Janet Whysong, Joan Whysong, Betty Jo Parnell, Carol McClellan, 58 ar Band The Ashley School started its band about four years ago, with only seven members, It is now one of the leading organizations of the school, The letters this semester go to Patty Sanders, Letitia Vian and Harold .

The first thing we did after electing officers was to select a play. After weeks of hard practice and many nervous hours, a scared but determined bunch of Juniors made a success of ‘‘Aunt Samanthy Rules The Roost’’, This was at the town hall on November 18, After that everyone was saying, ‘‘Ain’t it the truth!”’ and looking for the love powder which made Aunt Samanthy, the old maid, so hilarious, Our next undertaking was a bake sale with which we attempted to furnish the town with sweet foods and baked beans. Quite some combination, but it added a good bit to our trip fund. Hot dogs, candy, peanuts, ice cream! That has been the cry of the Juniors all year as they tried to stuff the kids at school as well as at the basketball games. We also went from house to house and door to door selling Christmas cards. Now we are anticipating a paper drive which the Seniors have vowed to help make a success, But the year wasn't all work and no fun, At Christmas time we wanted to make our grand splurge so we had a candlelight supper in the lower hall and a gift exchange by the light of the Christmas tree in the assembly, We had one hundred per cent attendance and a wonderful time playing games and dancing, Now we are eagerly looking forward to the Junior-Senior trip. At the beginning of the school term Wilma Little joined us from Pierceton, Indiana and left us in December. Angus Burch was the Caesar of the class. He came, he saw, he conquered and he left. In January Paul Robbins decided school life was not for him so he discontinued his studies. The class of 1952 has been truly militant, having waged three years of Civil War, the ammunition being chiefly: BB shot, paper wads, marbles, erasers, and worrying about the Korean War, Our greatest aim now is to become Seniors and we are determined to be the best class of all.

A. 6 3 From the Tower Tops Speaks for itself Entrance to Dearborn Giddap Napoleon Cwhwn — The Clock Tower Junior-Senior Trip Sixty Juniors and Seniors and their chaperones, Mr. and Mrs, Frederick and Mr, and Mrs. Arney started the trip on May 18. We stopped at quite a few towns, including the Irish Hills, to stretch before we reached Greenfield Village. There we had a conducted tour, Then we went to Briggs Stadium, Detroit, to see the Detroit Tigers play the Boston Red Socks. We then spent the night at the Tuller Hotel relaxing. (Thank heavens!) The next day we crossed the Ambassador Bridge and went into Windsor, Canada, Then we enjoyed a tour through the Cadillac plant in Detroit. From there we went to Toledo to see the great Queen of the Rosery Cathedral and the Toledo Zoo, It was getting late so we decided to go to our hotel and call it quits for another exciting day. The third day dawned bright and rosy, We left for Port Clinton where we got on the boat for Put-In-Bay. We had a won- derful time reaching the Island, even if a few of us got seasick, The day was spent in wonder and excitement, We then returned to Port Clinton and got on the buses and headed for home, Everyone had a wonderful time, b ut that good old town of Ashley looked inviting to us when we arrived home on May 20 about 8:30 p.m. — Reni INRIN HIRE Remmi ee ont 1, William and Mary Chapel, 2.
