: i | | H ‘ | . r { PeaeN di fk He Published by FIFTIETH GRADUATING CLASS of AVILLA HIGH SCHOOL Avilla, Indiana FOREWORD If this issue of Panther serves to record in pictured form faces and scenes dear to every student of Avilla High School and serves as a memorial to the school, it will have fulfilled its purpose. As such a treasure house of happy memories, the Panther of 1938 is given to the student body. Copyright: Charles Yeiser, Editor-in-Chief Jeanette Parks, Business Manager Roger L. Greenawalt, Faculty Supervisor DEDICATION With deep respect to the memory of Janis Busch, whose cheer- fulness, loyalty, and service to the Avilla High School has been an inspiration to many, we, the senior class dedicate this, the 1938 Panther, to our Classmate. Entered 1929 Active in grade school Glee Club 1 Chorus 2 Speech 3 Journalism 3 Junior Play 3 READY “Out of school life, into life’s school”, Whoever said a thing more true? Our learning here may be complete But think of the things we have yet to meet. Dignified, wise, we call ourselves Yet, what life problems have we shared? Our parents have earned our board and keep, Furnished the roof under which we sleep. Thirty-one seniors on the world’s threshold, Hopeful and eager for what may come. Trusting the world that it will give An equal chance for them to live. MEDITATION An old man with an uneven step, just now passed my cabin door. His eyes are dim and seem far away—can’t even hear as before. It was not so many years ago, this man was a carefree boy, And to him it seems like yesterday, when he had dreams of joy. Although these days he still is dreaming, his dreams are of a different kind, Trials of the times when he was young, are filling the old man’s mind. Had he lived as a selfish mortal, could his face beam with such joy? So to have perfect peace when you’re old, commence when you're a boy.

PANTHERETTA So that the passing of our high school careers may not be forgotten, we, the Sen- ior Class of 1938, have prepared and pub- lished this Annual. The staff that was chosen has strived to produce a bigger and better Annual, as is the custom, and are proud to be able to present this Panther in printed form for the first time. We have endeavored to publish the things which are most likely to live on in our memories. It has also been our aim to re- cord, pictorially, some of the main events of our high school days. The editor of this Annual, Charles Yeis- er, was selected by Mr. Greenawalt, thd sponsor. Charles, then, helped select the personnel of the staff and assign them var- ious duties in the work of publication. The sponsor, Mr. Greenawalt, supervised the work of the Annual. His help was in- dispensable. Ruth Shenk and Cleta Fisher were assigned the duties of getting together the Senior credentials, history, class will and prophecy. The art work was prepared by Phyllis Stephenson The snapshots were collected by Kenneth Shanline and LaVerne Wolf. Teresa Ley and Dorothy Harrod were the feature editors. Athletics were written up by Max Fasoldt and Hilda Wolfe. The jokes appearing in this edition of the Panther were collected by Claribel Zimmerman. Louise Castator was chosen as the literary editor. Norma Hersh was named the Junior Assistant Editor and will be the editor of the Panther next year. The financial end of the publication was taken care of by Jeanette Parks who was the Business Manager. Richard Kemerly and Paul Gray were the Advertising Man- agers. Circulation was under the directi on of Donald Wilson and Robert Croy. All the members of the staff worked tirelessly toward their goal—a better Annual. We think that this goal has been reached. And now, if this book serves to keep alive the memory of our class, then it shall have accomplished its purpose. PAN AOMIISTBATION- O rr A FACULTY HISTORY OF AVILLA HIGH SCHOOL At the end of the school year, 1938-39, the graduation of the largest class on re- cord will add thirty-two pupils to the list of the alumni. The commencement will take place just fifty years after the time that the first class was graduated in 1888. The year, 1938, is the “Golden Anniver- sary” of the commencement exercises. Work of high-school level was first of- fered in a public school in Allen Town- ship in 1886. Before that time, any pu- pils completing the eighth grade and wish- ing to continue with their educational training had to go to nearby cities or to academies maintained by colleges and uni- versities. The course that first was offer- ed covered a two-year period. The first class was graduated in 1888. Elsewhere in this annual will be found a reproduction of the invitations used by the class of ’88. The course of study was expanded in 1892 to cover a three-year period. A number of the graduates of the three-year course completed the college preparatory training elsewhere. The school received a commis- sion from the state soon after the four- year course of study was inaugurated in 1907. A continuous commission was issued by the State Department of Education Ap- ril 3, 1931, and has been maintained since that time. The first public school in Avilla was or- COURSE One credit if given for a course which meets 5 periods per week, for 1 semester (2 semesters equal one school year) with pre- paration outside of class.

The building has since been remodeled for a residence and is occupied at the present time by the Oliver Growcock family. A four-room schoolhouse was erected in 1883 at the place where the baseball diamond is now laid out. Each class room was heated individually by a stove. This plant served the community until 1907. Two rooms were added at this time and a fur- nace was installed to replace the stoves. Further remodeling was done in 1922; ex- cavation was made to add space for class rooms in the basement and the entrance was enlarged. The corner stone for the present building, of which the picture ap- pears on the opposite page, was laid in 1928. The community since that time has had the opportunity of providing school facilities in a modern well-equipped build- ing. The present school year has been one of expansion in enrollment. Since the closing of the LaOtto High School, a large num- ber of pupils from Swan Township have joined our ranks. The enrollment increas- ed from 83 to 145 from September 1936 to the same date in 1937. The resulting effects of this larger group are reflected throughout the various activities as por- trayed in this annual. OFS Ia: BIDIG (5 sheres caste ersiche oteeue oie: oe ene 1 B.

We chose as our sponsor, Miss Winifred Clark. Out of our class came Wanda Bauer, as presi- dent; Donald Wilson, vice-president and Jeanette Parks as secretary-treasurer. The first semester Ruby Varner was forced to leave school because of illness. At the be- ginning of the second semester we lost two pupils, Wanda Bauer and Ethelyn An- derson, but gained Phyllis Stephenson. The next milestone found nineteen mem- bers and that year we did not gain nor lose any members. Miss Vera Lawshe was our sponsor and our officers were Charles Yei- ser, pres, Phyllis Stephenson, vice-pres., and Jeanette Parks, sec.-treas. As we entered our third milestone, two members, Carol Pfafman and Helen Viet left us to attend Kendallville; however, George Febles entered our ranks. We ap- pointed Miss Lorena Justice as sponsor; Donald Wilson, pres.; Cleta Fisher, vice- pres.; Janis Busch, sec.; and George Febles treas. We received our class rings and al- so presented our Junior Class Play, ‘“‘Phan- tom Bells’, which proved very successful. Our fourth milestone! We are now Sen- iors! Due to the abandoning of LaOtto High School, we are glad to welcome to our group of fifteen, a like number from LaOtto. They were Dorothy Harrod, Alice Schutt, Robert Croy, Ted Owen, Eugene Balliet, Jacob Lochner, Bonnie Gorrell, Paul Grav, Max Bruce, Max Fasoldt, June Landgraff and Samuel Myers. Mayland Warble and Teresa Ley also enrolled in the class while June Sheets and June Rod- gers left school. Miss Fern Miller was chosen to sponsor the class and the offi- cers are Donald Wilson, pres.; Phyllis Ste- phenson, vice-pres.; Louise Castator, sec- retary and Ruth Shenck, treasurer. At the end of the first semester, the class was left in sadness over the death of a popular classmate, Janis Busch. Now we have thir- ty-one members, the largest ever to gradu- ate from A. H. S. and the honor of being the fiftieth graduating class. CLASS.

Teach’r Girls Economics Carpenter A inivers AY Y of — SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Dearearn ra: I received your letter asking about the Class of ’38. I was glad to know you were still interested in tne whereabouts of its members. Of course you know the success that has come to Robert Croy. After Bob Taylor’s retirement from the screen, MGM Scouts immediately found Croy, put him in pic- tures, and Bob became a sensation over- night. Remember Hilda Wolf? She now directs an All-Girl Orchestra which is playing an engagement at the Trocadero in Hollywood. Yes, Bob and Hilda are still that way about each other. The last time I heard from Claribel Zim- merman was several years ago. She had just resigned her position as air hostess and was going to marry Paul Gray, an air pi- lot. (Rather air-minded, I’d say.) Sam Myers is now a professional boxer. You probably recall he got his start in the Golden Gloves Tourney. He is married to Teresa Ley. They are the proud parents of twin boys, who are trying to follow in Daddy’s footsteps. Little has been heard of Violet Sherman since graduation, but at the latest report, she was working as a telephone operator in Ohio. Dr. and Mrs. Richard Kemerly are now on a world cruise. Dr. Kemerly is a fam- ous brain specialist. His wife was former- ly Jeanette Parks, a nurse. Dorothy Harrod is a missionary in China. From the last reports, things weren’t so good over there. Surely, you know about Cleta Fisher leaving for Honolulu where she is a private secretary to the manager of a large pine- apple firm. Bert Leiter is a sports commentator on the National Radio Station. His wife, Lou- ise Castator Leiter, a former chorus girl, is also on the radio. Thru one of his recent programs, I learn- ed that Donald Wilson, coach at the Uni- sity of New York, and Phyllis Stephenson, Paris dress designer, were recently mar- ried. They are honey-mooning in Europe. Max Fasoldt and Max Bruce are lawyers in Chicago. Perhaps you have read about the success of the law firm of Max and Max. I know this is going to be very shocking to you. Mildred Diehm Shanline is in Re- no waiting for the final decree. I’m won- dering how Kenneth will ever get along without her. Ted Owens and Alice Schutt were mar- ried soon after graduation. They are living on the old Schutt farm. Glancing at the paper, I see Charles Yei- ser is running for his second term as Gov- ernor of Indiana. I’m sure you remember about Charles marrying his secretary, Bon- nie Gorrell after his first term in office. Hershel Huelsenbeck and his wife, June Landgraff, now live in New York. Hershey is a salesman for the “Wee Reduce Em” Company. Remember Jacob Lochner? He is now the manager of an Excort Clyb in an Eas- tern city. I know you will be surprised when I tell you that Ruth Shenk is the wife of the Rev. Eugene Balliet, who is now preaching in his home town. Oh yes, George Febles and his wife, La- Verne Wolf Febles, live in Michigan where George operates a Muskrat Farm. Last, but not least, Mayland Warble is a confirmed bachelor and also a scientist who at present is in South America. Thanks again for your interest in the Class of ’38. Sincerely, TIME WILL TELL. The 1937 Jr.-Senior Banquet was a gay affair with hats, gloves and canes as the theme. After a well-prepared and well-served dinner in a beautifully decorated banquet hall, the light-heart- ed crowd made its way to the Paramount Theatre for its evening’s entertainment. rae | mI) Gay On ) Cre Coca “a Top row, left to right—Bernard Campbell, Everitt Padgett, Nora Hersh, Dwight Sheets, Evelyn M.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The passing of tne first milestone of high school life found 19 new Freshmen in- itiated into the mysteries of high school.

SOPHOMORES At the beginning of the school year, 1936-37, 21 children were seen passing their first milestone. All were very timid and eager to get a glimpse of high school life. They were faithfully guided through this year’s course with Mrs. Brown, spon- sor; Clifford Parks, president; J. C. Fish- er, vice-pres.; and Idress Hoot, sec.-treas. After a four month vacation, this group was seen again, passing their second mile- stone, not as timid as before, for now they have been advanced to the ranks of “silly sophomores”. This year, their numbers have increased to 27. They were sorry to lose several of last year’s members; how- ever, to fill their emptied chairs were 16 new faces coming from various’ other schools. For our chief executives this year, Miss Justice was chosen sponsor; Clifford Parks, pres.; Delores Stonestreet, vice- pres.; J. C. Fisher, sec.-treas. Outside our daily routine, parties and other activities made the year more enjoyable.

FRESHMEN This numerous but insignificant group of children entered the ninth year of school on September 1 of this year. On October 19, they were properly initiated as Fresh- men members of the high school. The pre- vious Friday they had been given their invitations in the form of green dunce- caps. To the amusement of the upper classmen and the humiliation of the vic- tims, the excited but none too eager Fresh- men were forced to partake in awkward contests such as dipping their faces into water and flour, being fed castor oil and pushing peanuts across the floor with their noses, all the while cringing under blows from wooden paddles, administered by the upper classmen. But they should not think too ill of the upper classmen, for the pains were soothed with green popsicles and green popcorn balls. The Freshmen chose for their sponsor, Mr. Piper; Claude Kennel, pres.; Martha Kemerly, vice-pres.; Roberta Wineland, sec.-treas. This group is looking forward to an enhancing future. A Christmas par- ty was held in the gym December 153. Games and contests were enjoyed by ev- eryone, after which refreshments were served and a Christmas exchange was held. ; ELEMENT Ary AND | WUNIOF IGM + First row—Junior Wert, Burdette Parr, Robert VanGorder, Max New- man, Harold Weimer, Keith Sheets, Junior Marker.

The first public ap- pearance of the band was at the P. T. A. in February, 1936. The uniforms of the band are blue and white and make an ex- cellent appearance. Among the public appearances of the band were the Hallowe’en parade, the bas- ketball games, and the one-act play con- test. Several members also assisted on various programs from time to time. The band gave a music program at the end of the year on April 7, assisted by other music departments of the school. Jeanette Parks, Phyllis Justice, made several public performances besides appearing in a musical given Ap- ril 7, and singing for baccalaureate and commencement. Those in the octet are: Mary Ellen Gray and Louise Castator, first soprano; Norma Hersh and Phyllis Steph- enscn, se cond soprano; Jeanette Parks and Daphne Harrod, first alto; Marcile Troyer and Hilda Wolf, second alto. In the group picture of the chorus, the octet is seated in the front row. The chorus was composed of thirty girls this year with Miss Justice as director and Jeanette Parks, pianist.

SENIOR PLAY “Trouble in Paradise’, by Clarence Le- Roy was chosen as the senior play and pre- sented Mar. 30-31 with Miss Miller as di- rector. The initiation of “Freshman Joe” by upper classmen was remarkable. A lot- tery to aid Jean, an orphan, to stay in college, turned out better than any of the students had hoped. The ability with which The ability of Ralph’s roommate, Art, to get Ralph out of trouble was clearly shown. Good old Uncle Joe was coming and no bride to show him—for he and Lou- ise had quarrelled. Art’s solution was to get someone to impersonate Louise! For good measure he provided a few spares, and Uncle Joe met Louises until he was the students slid out of some close cir- cumstances proved rather unusual. JUNIOR PLAY “The Heart Exchange’, a comedy writ- dizzy. Art and Ralph were employed in a matrimonial bureau. Both were unaware the bureau was a mask for a gang of crooks. Art decided to stimulate business by advertising and shortly the system was a scrambled mess.

ONE-ACT PLAY Over 400 people attended the one-act play, “The Teeth of the Gift Horse” by Margaret Cameron given February 8. It was given at Wawaka February 15 and again the following Saturday when the six plays were judged. The play concerned an elderly lady who came to visit her niece and nephew. Some vases that she had painted for them were not visible and she was disappointed. The vases appeared later and the aunt decided to stay at their home the entire winter, much to the enjoyment of her niece and nephew. AVILLA EXHAUST The Avilla Exhaust which originated last year was also carried on this year by the journalism class of ten. Jeanette Parks was editor, Norma Hersh, proof- reader and Dorothy Harrod and _ Louise Castato, typists. Reporters were June Landgraff, Bonnie Gorrell, Phyllis Stephen- son, Donald Wilson and Richard Kemerly. The paper was published semi-monthly and its aim was to give each family a free copy. It is a median so that patrons will know what activities are being held at school, important dates, and extra-curri- cular activities. Standing, left to right—Hilda Wolfe, Jeanette Parks, Hershel Huelsenbeck, Miss Justice, Ted Owen. Sitting—Phyllis Stephenson, Mayland Warble, Louise Casta- tor. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET As the sun began to fade away on the western horizon April 19, a group of Jun- iors and Seniors met on the Avilla “deck” waiting to sail away on the good ship, “Pirate”. Early in the evening, the gang- plank was lowered for the taking on of passengers. The ship sailed away to the port of “Good Times”, its decks thronged with gentlemen, with their lady compan- ions in-gaily-colored formals. The guests were received by their hosts and hostesses in the salon of the “Pir- ate”, after which they were conducted to the candle-lit dining room. The dining- recom was headed by the captain’s table, at which sat his crew, the guests of honor. Gold stars in a deep blue sky glittered above the roofless dining-room. On the captain’s table was a centerpiece of Talis- man roses, the senior class flower. The theme of the year ’38 was carried out in the decorations as were the senior class colors, blue and gold. After the dinner, the company sailed to Ft. Wayne, where they enjoyed a theater party. The banquet was a decided success, and will long stand out in the memories of the Senior class members, as one of the colorful: events in their high school car- eers.

A Round Robin League Tournament was held for Table- Tennis. In the finals, which were held near the end of the year, Fisher defeated Pepple. Intramural Athletics foster a spirit of sportsmanship and cooperation. They aid team work for major athletics. BASKETBALL On Nov. 1, Avilla Panthers opened their season with a win over Lima of Howe, 17- 13. The Cubs also won their game easily by a score of 34-13. Salem Center proved to be a tough op- ponet but the Panthers came through 32- 27. The Cubs won 22-15. Ligonier tossed in three quick baskets at the end of the game to win 23-15, after a game that was close all the way. The Cubs, holding Ligonier scoreless the last half, won 17-4. On Nov. 17 we journeyed to Wawaka to meet Albion in a State Corner Conference game. Piaying in championship form, the lads in blue came through 39-19. The sec- onds, with the aid of a basket by an Al- bion forward, won also 20-12. We met our “Waterloo” on Nov. 24 at Waterloo. The Barr-men trounced the Panthers 41-23. The seconds kept their per fect record by defeating the Waterloo seconds 24-20. Wolcottville found the locals a bit too tuff and lost 28-13. The Cubs lost their first game to the Wolcottville 18-14. In a very ragged game, Rome City out- pointed the Panthers by a 35-31 count. The Cubs lost their second game 22-16. On Dec. 11, we journeyed to St. Joe to renew an old rivalry. Playing a nice game the Panthers won hands-down, 57-21. The seconds won also 29-13. In one of the best games of the season, the locals downed «ashley in an interesting contest 29-30. Ashley saved themselves from complete defeat by besting the Cubs 25-9. The last game of the first semester was played at Cromwell with the Panthers los- ing’ 32-24.

Standing in rear—Coach Piper BASEBALL Arrayed in new uniforms, the boys shel- lacked Wolf Lake 9-3 in the first home game of the season. Fisher pitched a good game and was never in serious trouble. The sting of defeat was first felt at the hands of Cromwell. After Avilla had jump- ed into an early lead, Cromwell came back strong in the last two innings to win 3-2. Kendallville, with one of their strongest aggregations in years, whipped our boys 8-1. We were the first team to cross Ken- dallville’s plate thus far. BASKETBALL (continued) Busco, with one of the best teams they have put on the floor for a long time, met and defeated the locals in a thrilling game, 33-31. The Cubs ended on the long end of a 19-13 count. Travelling to Butler Jan. 21, we met the largest team we have come up against in some years. The boys lost a heart-breaker 22-19. The Cubs again came through but only 19-18. Too much Todd spelled defeat for the lo- cals when we met LaGrange. We were de- feated 28-21. The second also lost 27-16. Ligonier found the locals a_ bit too tough, losing 4-3. On Sept. 27, we journeyed to Rome City. The Schull Brothers proved a _ bit too tough and we dropped the game, 7-3. The last scheduled game was played at Wawaka and with Fisher pitching fine ball, we won easily 10-3. A game with Albion which had been postponed, was played Oct. 4. Albion at the time was second in the county league, but the Panthers turned loose their bats and won in a walk, 8-2. In the first overtime game of the season, Huntertown defeated the Panthers 22-20 in second extra period. The seconds suffered their most humiliating defeat at the hands of the Huntertown seconds by 24-7. Staging a great last-half rally, but los- ing by 2 points, our boys were again nos- ed 36-34 by Wawaka. The Cubs won a slow game from the Wawaka seconds 12-5. Angola met and defeated the Panthers at Angola in another close game, 29-28. The Cubs won their game 25-12. We finished the regular season again with Garrett, dropping a close game 31-29, on a lucky basket by a Garrett guard. The seconds also ijost their last game. pvilla is iv iL: pills 2 ee ‘ ie PANTHERS bixy ey e ia ie bd PANTHERS JUNIOR H. 5. ATHLETICS A group of 22 boys were enrolled in the physical education class of the Junior High at the beginning of the school year. During the fall baseball and soft-ball were played. Several boys showed promise of making the high school team next year. When the cool days began, the classes were held in the gym. Much of the time was devoted to learning the fundamentals of basketball. From this class a group of 12 boys was chosen to form the Jr. High Squad. Although we played in only a few games, the boys have gained experi- ence which will be valuable during their high school days. SAFETY, PATROL The function of the school patrol is to instruct, direct and control the members of the student body in crossing the streets. With the ever present danger in cross- ing the streets the safety of the school children is one of the school’s most im- portant problems. During the _ second year of the Safety Patrol, the work was carried on by the boys of the Junior High. As an acknowledgement of the work done pvibLa we w PANTHERS ye Richard Shaefer. man, Keith Owens. by these boys, awards of two kinds have been granted. A safety emblem is given for the first ten hours on duty, and a sport shirt is given for an additional fifteen hours on duty. The following boys have receiv- ed awards: John Clark, Harold Frazie, Walter Schauweker, Richard Frey, Billy Wineland, Burdette Parr, Harold Weimer, Junior Marker, Keith Owens, James Warb- le, Max Newman, Robert Frost, Veryl Wei- mer, Robert VanGorder, Stanley Fordeck and Kenneth Keck. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE CHAMPS On Jan. 13, our Freshmen-Sophomore squad journeyed to Wawaka to engage Wolf Lake in a first round game. After a hard game, our smaller boys came through in an overtime by 21-20. They had the luck of drawing a bye into the final game after winning this opening round tilt. Rome City’s towering lads fought their way into the other final berth, only to be defeated by a bunch of determined Pan- thers, who really lived up to their name in this game to win 28-16. For their county championship, the boys were rewarded with a 10 in. sun-gold tro- phy.
