' Class Colors-Blue and White. Class Flower-Red Rose. Well, this it it! Our first and final goal we've finally reached by' working hard and sticking faithfully to our studies. Ahem! After these long twelve years we do realize the importance of being just what we are-SENIORS! When school started We all felt a little queer. One could hear now and then the confidential whisper, But I don't 'feel like a senior! However that superior feeling came when we looked around and saw the greenhorns. It is now said that we walk around like we own the joint. All year we converted our energies in selling cokes and ice cream at the basket- ball games and sponsoring dances after games to raise money to buy a farewell gift for the school. On April 28th, under the direction of Miss Zinsmeister, our class sponsor, we presented the play Crazy House with much success.

G eorge Buck The class of '44 has been well represented in all activities all four years in high school. We've always had members on the track, basketball and football teams and have come through with colors flying. We now step out into the world to conquer greater goals but still having fond memories of the good old high school days. Many of the boys of 'the cl-ass of '44 will take up jobs with Uncle Sam in all branches of our armed forces. A few are already relatives of Uncle Sam while others are hopefully waiting until their 18th birthday rolls around. -me , . v MILDRED E. HANNER- A friend in need is a friend indeed, A. H.

MUTT JEFF aww was 7Ae emma all ' I 'Hr Class Prophecy Glancing toward the calendar, the huge black letters, May, 1950, seemed as a reminder to me that it had been six years ago that we were proudly accepting our diplomas and stepping off into the world to meet responsibilities by ourselves. To satisfy my curiosity as to the fate of the class of '44, I warmed up my heliocopter and prepared to make a tour of the country to see how the world had treated my classmates. I first drove into the Sinclair Service Station to have my tank filled and was surprised to find the attendant was Jim Wilson, and his wife, Anne Miller, was buzzing by on J im's motorcycle. Going next to Washington, D. C., I found General William Sikes in command of our air force. In an office next to his I found the sign reading: Oiiice of Postmaster-General Homer Dalbey. Having visited with them a few hours, I realized it was getting late, so decided to attend the theater. On the way to the theater, a freight train rumbled through town and I caught a glimpse of Avis Coate hanging from the open door of the box car. Swiftly, I remembered that Avis had been undecided as to her fu- ture when she was a senior. As a means of support, when I reached the theater, I leaned against a pillar long enough to catch my breath, but glancing toward the stage I met even greater shock. There on the stage was Warren Crays perform- ing on the Major Bowes program. Warren was imitating dive bombers and machine guns and being rewarded the gong, but an applause for effort. After the show, I turned into the Stork Club to get a refreshing drink. There I found the top name band of the year playing--Bob Brown and his Melodious Morons. The Morons were just getting hot when a jittering couple fell, causing quite an uproar. An ambulance was called and when it arrived, I was surprised to see Dr. Bill Irwin, accompanied by nurse Marilyn Miller, step out of the ambulance to administer first aid to the couple whom I immediately recognized as my classmates, Peggy Means and Horner Peek. They told me that some of my other classmates were being featured in a professional basketball tourney in Madison Square Garden and I decided to attend. I thrilled to the superb playing of Dale Patten- gale and Bill Slauter, but was amazed to find Max Montgomery on the bench as their manager. Sitting in the press box were Leon Kirkman and Mirriam Newmark of the New York Times. Leon was waiting for the chance to get a good still of the celebrities of the evening, and Mirriam was writing a play by play account of the game. Rising early next morning, I left my hotel room to further my in- vestigation. I went first to the huge naval air base at Pensacola, Florida, where I found Admiral Alice Bannon who had become a professional WAVE. She informed me that a former A. H. S. grad of '44 was scheduled due at that moment so we went to the field where Bob Blickenstaii' was landing. He took us into his plane where I found a very unique set-up. His plane was equipped with remote control facilities so that at any time he desired, Bob could leave the pilot's seat for a few hours of jiving on the harpsichord which he had encouraged the Naval Department to in- stall. Tiring of the East, I flew out West to Hollywood to find that none of my friends had succeeded by a display of acting talent. However, I did find Shirley Temple, who had become the oomph girl and idol of mil- lions of males, wearing clothes designed by Juanita Blaker and hair styled - ..,.-.. . 7fae ....-. - .- t-.f f'K' '13 in Hai jig A: .-.-.-. .pi f ,, C-.-.-.-: T V 'ii fig. I A F if ,. I by Mildred Hanner. Shirley's latest movie was Many Loves Have I by Rosanna Brady. At Pasadena, I found Don Boys, the World's Champion New Star, playing a game of tennis with the proceeds going to the Relief Fund for Old Maid Schoolteachers. Thinking that possibly some of my more conservative classmates had decided to live and die in Attica, I flew back to the Hoosier state. George Buck had become a member of the A. H. S. faculty, teaching shop. Ellen Cripe was still married and aside from raising a family, had become the city librarian. Jeanne Hurst, following in the steps of her father, had taken over the position of being income tax collector, and had added the mate to the ring on her third finger, left hand. Another who had followed in the footsteps of his father was John Hurych, expert dry-cleaner. I met Bob Johnson, whose fingers were bandaged from sticking them into light sockets. He had become an elec- trician by trade, but occasionally resorted to writing corny jokes as a side-line. I had no sooner stepped out of Bob's shop onto Perry Street than I spied Rose Larson and Jean Neal sauntering toward me. We talked and I learned that the two of them were working as secretaries in the Har- rison Steel offices. During the course of our conversation, I learned that Charles Van Laere was the owner of the most prosperous farm in Foun- tain County and was considering the post of Senator from our state. That subject lead to our talking of the old civics days at A. H. S. anduit seemed Mary Knowles had taken Mr. Cunningham's advice and chosen a com- patible mate after putting down his good points in proportion to the bad and coming out married. Barbara Summers had four little girls now and with their mother as center, they had quite a basketball team. They played exhibition games for A. I-I. S. physical education classes. Violet Thayer and Jean Oakley were also among the young married set of Attica. Time was growing short and I headed out to the Attica airport which had become a stop-over for T. V. A. I was about to step into my helio- copter when I saw a familiar face through a glass panel and following my nose, sure enough, I came to a very official door marked Marge Ottinger, Private. After three hours waiting, I was admitted to find that Marge was executive in charge of travel for T. V. A. and had earned her com- mercial license in her spare time. Then the office door swung open and Frances Stucker entered, wearing the official Air Hostess uniform. I finally had to turn the nose of my plane northward toward Chicago and upon arriving, I bought a newspaper to see what the windy city had to offer. The headlines struck my eye and it seemed a certain Carolyn Wood had written a best seller. Yes, it turned out to be the pen name of none other than Barbara Phelps, budding authoress of A. H. S. I hur- ried to Barb's hotel and as we were talking, her secretary walked in, and it was none other than Betty Minnick. It seemed Betty had graduated from Katherine Gibbs and was quite the picture of the competent secre- tary. The phone rang and Barb was surprised to hear the voice of Bob Shaffer who had become a national hero due to the fact that he had shot down 100 Jap planes. He was now a full General! Oh, how nice to know that we were all still present and accounted for with each doing his or her share. I taxied the helio out and back into its garage and with a long sigh, settled back into the swing of life in 1950. ' MIRRIAM NEWMARK.

We have several boys that would be with us today if it were not for this present war. Some of these fellows in the armed forces are Alonzo Kiser, Fred Dill, Jack Pearl, Frank Hutson, James Cunningham, and Leroy Furr. We were well represented in the athletic department.

Of course, our first encounter had to be with the Juniors and Seniors. After a week of making us roll up our :pants legs and such, they became reasonable again. At our first class meeting, we chose our officers and decided on our dues. Then we settled down to a ni-ce easy existence with nothing to do but School Work. Little 'by little the work began to get harder. But what do we care? Aren't we in high school? , About then the six weeks' test came. CGee, where did all my knowledge go?D When the grades were given out the results were all right. In fact 3 little better 'than expected. As autumn turned into winter we Freshmen really got down to business. The football team, on which we were well represented, did very well for them- selves. We had many good times watching the games. With the oncoming of the basketball season, some of our boys joined up and did very well. Over the Christmas vacation, a lot of intelligence was lost but on January 4lh we came back to school more determined than ever to make good. With 'the closing of the 'basketball season, we began the training for track. We held our first class party April 21, and had a wonderful time. We are very grateful for the competent sponsorship that we received from Mr. Lambert, Mrs. Sutton and Miss Fenoglio in our hectic freshman year. wa l . l . .3-.2-, - - A - - - - - - I-.A,A.A.-.-.-.x-.-.-. ---- -.-. -. gs, 55- , .-.-7-.-.-v-.-.A: -. -,-,A .---f,-,-,-.-.f.1A.rv-,-. .-.-v-.1 -.2-.-.-f lil .

Besides his everyday classes, he was coach of the undefeated Junior High Red Ramblers. Mrs. Philips' highlight work this year was the column of news that appeared each Thursday and of which she was the chief editor and sponsor. Mr. Norman, besides his enormous task, of being principal, was a great booster of stamp sales, and of junior high ball-games and tourneys. No junior hi student knows what he would do without our nurse, Mrs. Lumley. Besides working hard to keep healthy conditions in our school, she aided the tuberculosis and infantile paralysis drives. -me F77 .. -. --v ' tjwil Left to Right-Betty McConkey, Nancy Parton. Sarah Snyder, Mrs. Phillips, Rosella Martin. , . Qur News Stott One of the busiest groups in our grade and junior hi school this year was the news staff. Every week the members of this group were on the alert for items of in' terest and happenings that occurred during our school year. Each week they pre- pared this column and it was published on Thursday in the Attica Ledger-Tribune. Each day during the last period, the new staff met and worked on the news. On Monday the reporters from each room gathered to give an account of t-he events in their classes. T-hen on Tuesday the news was typed for them. On Wednesday they proofread it. Thursday the column of news was published. The news each week consisted of articles on the lectures, moving pictures or entertainers that visited our school -and also an account of the work being done by the various rooms. T-hese articles were written by different students chosen by Mrs. Phillips and the news staff. Mrs. Phillips and the girls on the news staff have kept a scrapbook of every 'Fhursday's publication. This scrapbook will most cert-ainly prove to be of interest in future years. We think we owe the news staff a vote of gratitude for working so hard and spending their time each week in preparing news on the happenings of this school year. -me A , , , - A , , - - - - , - - - - - ,...... ..-,.,.,.. 5 ggi A ...v-.-. v--f-.--- --- i .E lim' M 3 Eighth Grade 'POI' ROXV-Edward Kan-lsnn, .loan filllllllflt, Nm-man Mnrtin, Phyllis 'I'urner, .lzwk Hill' l..i.Verl:1 Chirk, .lark I-Ennis.

Progress made during wartime should not be neglected in future planning. As reasearch throws light on new needs, and as experimental tryouts and new ways of working together develop, plans must necessarily be changed. It is essential, therefore, that the experimental attitude and approach be taken in school and com-munity 'health DFOHFHIHS. The schools are presented with a large responsibility, and an unparalleled op- portunity to contribute to the national welfare through the improvement of the health of youth by well-rounded comprehensive programs of health education. The administrator should make sure that the total school program contributes to healthful living by students. This involves consideration of the physical en- vironment, the organization of the school day, the health of employed -personnel. and the quality of pupil-teacher relationship. He should keep in -close touch with new developments in the health education program of his school to see that desired goals are achieved. Principals, teachers, supervisors, school health-workers, attendance and guid- ance personnel, and all other persons in the school system should be sensitive to present health-needs and should evince a willingness to do their part. Everyone will then find something whic'h he can contribute to the health program. Never- theless, there always will be aspects of the program which require the services of experts. A study of specific problems 'helps to emphasize the need for health teaching and to indicate desirable content for t'he program. Some problems suitable for study are: 1. Environmental factors relating to health and safety such as illumination, ventilation, drinking facilities, fire and accident hazards, and pupil par- ticipation in adjustment of, or adaptation to, the school environment. 2. School lunch problems including facilities for preparing, serving and eating lunchesg choice of menusg sanitation of kitchen and lunchroom equipment: supervision of the health of food handlersg hand washing: and cooperation with parents in planning diets. 3. Evaluation of health education. How has health education influenced the health practices of pupils? Their health knowledge? Have health-educa- tion goals been reached? ' 4. Curriculum study. Especially the sciences, -physical education, home eco- nomics, -and social studies. 5. Surveys. These may 'be the bases for initiating school, home. or community projects in health and safety education. During the past 25 years much progress has been made in the developing of satifactory programs of health-education, both on the side of content, and of organ- ization and administration. The requirements of total war, as well as postwar conditions will call for vision and insight in meeting health needs. 4 -f e----- '7!xe Gaawxon ---+--' ' , v, 'Y -f ,, rifllf V in muilf V , 7fze 61142114044 L AWAW. , A, J -141,31 'POP ROXV-Jenner Sunclt.

The group has been purely ra practice group this year as they have not had an opportunity to appear before the public and are not qualified to compete at the State Orchestra Contest. Much progress 'has been made by each individual and it is hoped that in the future the orchestra can expand and become active, as there are many fine musicians in their group. The Attica High School Band really began to function in the summer of '43 when they gave a series of ten concerts at McDonald Park each week and held private and collective practice periods in between these concerts. With the opening of school, the band began practice for the football games at which they got a chance to display their marching ability. Then came basketball games and after began the real practice for the State Solo and Ensemble contest and State Band Contest which was held in April. These are the main events of the year for band members. Competition is very strong both within schools and between them. During the year the band played for many patriotic programs such as the Arm- istice Day program, the showing of This Is The Army when they led the parade, and for Commencement in May. , The Band held their own concert on March 26th in the high school gym.

They are now meeting in the south room of the grade school ba-sement and use the old gym for special activities. During the past year the Scouts have enjoyed several over-night hikes and -many of the boys went to Camp Cary for one or more weeks. There have been many advancements made and several boys have advanced -from cubbing to scouting. On February 8th, the thirty-fourth birthday of the Boy Scouts was celebrated. Two of the older boys enjoyed a canoe trip in Wisconsin last summer. All in all, the scouts have enjoyed a successful year.

Senior Service Scouts The purpose of the Senior Service Scouts is not only to further the ideals JL Girl Scouting through an older group of girls, but also to be of service to and withln the community in which they live. The S. S. S. Uniform is a crisp, green, two-piece suit with a multi-colored S. S. S. emblem on the pocket and a jaunty overseas cap to match. Senior Service Scouts are the newest club group in A. H. S. Their main project this year was the painting and furnishing of their Scout room in the Grade building. The girls did all the soap and water cleaning of the walls along with the painting and decorating. The Scouts have 'been seen at Work in various placesg such as the A 8: P Store every Saturday selling stamps and bonds. They also helped in sorting silk hose, collecting grease, opening tin cans for the school cafeteria and in just making them- selves as useful as possible to the community. The sociial event of the year for the S. S. S. was the formal dinner-dance held the night of February 14th in the Grade School Gym, which had been decorated in red and white for the occasion. This outstanding group of girls numbered nineteen this year and proved them- selves to be a great bunch of workers who enjoyed thoroughly their year under the leadership and guidance of Miss Emma Fenoglio, their Scoutmistress.

Boys 4-H Last year in the Attica Schools a new club was organized which was called the 4-H Victory Club. Those who were enrolled in this club specialized in nothing more than essential war work. ' In addition to the Victory Club there were a number of other Agricultural pro- jects such as-alfalfa, beef cattle, colt, corn, dairy cattle, dairy record, farm man- agement, forestry, garden, lamb, orchard, pig, potato, poultry, soybean, strawberry, and tomato. The sole aim and objective of each 4-H member is to .produce enough food to feed at least one soldier in 1944 and also to preserve, can, or store enough food for their personal and family needs.

Girls 4 H After an instructive and enjoyable summer, it was found that twenty-two mem- bers had completed the requirements for their respective groups. The local club consisls of members from Shawnee, Logan and Davis Townships. This year Clothing, Canning, Baking and Food Preparation were the most popular courses.

Football The Attica football team started out the season determined to average the defeats that had been inflicted upon it the year before. With three regulars left over from the previous year to form the nucleus of the squad, the team swept aside all competition from the opening game with Rock- ville to the final one with Kentland. Although not winning the Wabash Valley Conference Championship, due to the fact that they did not play enough games in the conference, they dealt the champions, the Rockville Rox, two very decisive defeats.

'Pom Xvork- 5 Basketball While not winning many games during the season, the Attica Ramblers developed into a dangerous ball club by the end of the season. When the season started, the prospects looked bright with the return of eight letter men, 'but it seemed as if the team could only play ball on certain nights. Although not picked to do much in the tournaments, the squad proved to all onlookers that it had been rated far below what it should have been. ingcr.

He played guard, and was a demon under the defensive basket. The team will miss his drive and ability to hit set shots. Bill Slauter- Bill, another one of the graduating members of the team, was a hard worker and especially effective on rebounding. Dale Pattengale- Dale, the third four-year man on the squad, had the size and ability to make other teams wary of him under the basket. Dick Swift- Dick, one of the boys who has a year left on the team, was one of the best shots. Although slight, he had plently of fight. Bill Dickey- Bill, another of the Juniors who played a great deal on the starting five, displayed a calmness under fire, which was a great advantage. Carl Weigle- Carl, the only other Junior who had any experience as a regular, had an ability to hit set shots and that, coupled with Ll gre-at deal of speed, made him dangerous. Jerry Stuteville- Jerry, one of the two Sophomores on the squad, used his height, speed, and ball-handling ability effectively on both offense and defense. Ed Larson- Ed, a Junior played his first year on the varsity squad and showed a lot of tight and promise. Great things are in store for him next year. Dan Burkhardt- Dan, one of those tall Sophomores, took advantage of his size for under the basket work and for proving himself valuable on rebounds. Bill Ottinger- Rowdy, the only yearling on the squad, earned his place by dis- playing much fight andnan eye for the basket. E. A. Lambert- Red, started his fifth year at Attica High School with serveral boys that had had varsity experience the year before but had not played together as a team. With these boys and several from the previous year's B team, he had the task of moulding them into a polished ball club. Due to the fact that they were new to each other at the start, the season's record was mediocre, but by tournament time they had become a team of five caliber. - -e-A-e- 7fze Gumdon-B ---- - AVw 796 gwjffgmaga Llifjlfl, I STANDING fLeft to Righty--Mr. Lambert, Francis Koekenhurg, Charles Evms B111 Phelps, Roh Otelmm, Ray Holliday, George Mc-Kinney, Cecil Johnson, SRNFED.
