SEP2 5Tf .« --  - ? ,r lltQ Q.Qa5on WItu b N the hope that in these times of strife the Panther will bring moments of relaxation and memories to relieve the worry and tension of troublesome war times, we offer this 1942 Panther to you. And in the years to follow when the war is a memory, it is our wish that your 1942 Panther will bring back pleasant memories of high school friendships, grand teachers, tough classes, and hard-fought games. So if this issue of ■ the Panther, in later years, serves to hold in your memory the true picture of your years spent in Avilla High, our goal will have been reached. Page 2 ' edlcatQd to O the men who have graduated from Avilla High School and to the teachers who have taught at Avilla High School who are now serving in the armed forces of our great nation we dedicate this 1942 Panther. We do this as a token of our esteem and appreciation for their heroic sacrifices made to maintain our democratic and free government . . . the only type of govern- ment in the world fostering such a wonder- ful thing as our public school. It is our hope that memories of A. H. S. inspired by this OQ Si book will comfort and give them greater spirit in fighting for our democracy. In this small way we offer our appreciation to these men.

SEPTEMBER — School was officially opened on August 28, enrollment day, but really began on September second. The first day was confusing, and the new recruits were rather dazed but gained their bearings after so long a time. The Panthers engaged in six combats in softball this month and won four of the six. OCTOBER — The new teachers were guests of the first P.-T. A. meeting of the year on October 7 at a potluck supper. On the eighth was issued the first call for basketball to which 45 prospects reported. The band members sponsored a chicken supper on the fourteenth at which approxi- mately six hundred guests were served. On the nineteenth the seniors had a wood-land excursion which was pronounced a very successful party. Oh, yes, on October 23 and 24 we were released, and the teachers attended the Teach- ers ' Association which was to make them more competent in dealing with their problems. On the twenty-seventh the seniors ' sweaters, which were destined to lower the school light bills, arrived. The junior play, The All American Family, went off with a bang on October 28 and 29, and was well attended and much enjoyed. The seniors spent the twenty-eighth in Fort Wayne at Cron ' s. What? Oh, yes, Mr. Cron is still living. NOVEMBER — The new federal tax was introduced to those who bought season tickets this month. Another meeting of the P.-T. A. was held on the fourth. On the fifth the speech class began its broadcasting career over the school sound system by broadcasting a program disclosing the inside lives of the faculty and students of A. H. S. The basketball season has begun! Our first victory was over Ligonier. Our first convocation of the year took place on November 14. Rev. and Mrs. John Reed, pastor of the Wesley an Methodist Church in LaOtto, gave a short musical pro- gram and talk before the assembly. The safety class was informed by Mr. Domer that many accidents are caused by soft shmdJers. DECEMBER— United States Declares War! The band won twenty dollars first prize at the Christmas parade in Kendallville, December fourth. Mr. Helmer finally recovered from the dizziness caused by the falling of a book on his head. The speech class is continuing its broadcasting career. This month by special arrange- ment they took us to the north pole. Letters which teachers and students had written to Santa Claus were read by Mother Goose characters. Due to some unknown mishap connection with the North Pole was broken and readings were given by several mem- bers of the class. Two of the senior girls have received diamond rings this month. U-huh, they are Mary Ann and Marie. The P.-T. A. meeting this month was devoted to Christmas. The program was provided by the school music department. The school Christmas program gave a grand climax to the month ' s and semester ' s activities (along with exams).

The play took place on a weird night at a small mountain hotel in the heart of the Appalachians. During the night a party of tourists, strand- ed at the inn, heard strange ominous sounds that sent cold creeps down their backs. Always when these sounds were heard. Doctor Martischang, who kept dreadful spiders in his possession, had been away. As the story unraveled, it was discovered that the cause of Martischang ' s strange actions was his eagerness to obtain a certain formula which he wanted for his own government; and one of the young ladies in the party, Patricia Beaumont, had that formula in her possession. Ted Piper was not to be outdone so easily, even if Norman Drake, his rival for Patricia ' s hand, was taken in by the doctor. For a time it seemed that the doctor would accomplish his goal; but the caretaker turned out to be a govern- ment detective who caught up with the doctor, a dangerous and hunted spy. This allowed the rest of the cast to proceed normally. THE JUNIOR PLAY The junior class presented the All American Family, a three act comedy, on October 21 and 22. The Butlers are just such a family as you would find on any block in any small town. There is Roger, the father, a small town business man and treasurer of the Fathers ' Council in the high school. Then there is Carrie, the mother, prominent in the P.-T. A. and their three children, Caroline, Bill, and Bobby. Also there is Grandma, Mr. Butler ' s mother, who is really the hub of the Butler wheel. Mr. Butler, seriously in need of money, tries to borrow it from Mrs. Butler ' s widowed sister, Lucy Middleford, who is bringing her only daughter. Avis, to visit the Butlers. Caroline is very irritated when Bruce Ford, her fiance, pays attention to Avis. Then next door lives Widow Smith, whose son, Peter, is a good friend of Bill ' s. This play has comedy, drama, and heart in- terest galore.

We, the staff of the 1942 Panther, were faced with the same challenge as were the staffs of previous years. There was a demand for a more outstanding year book, and we have endeavored to meet this demand. A contest was held by the senior class to increase the circulation of the Panther. We reached a new high in annual sales. - - Page 12 JOURNALISM On September second, the members of the journahsm class under the guidance of Miss GilUland, started out with high hopes for the A. H. S. Exhaust. The paper, edited bi-monthly, was placed under the editorship of Leila Kugler with Loella.Grawcock assistant-editor. Walter Schauweker was chosen art editor and Merle Pepple and John Clark, sports editors. The vocational editorships were given to Virginia Conrad and Richard Shafer with Cleo Crothers and Delores Wolf typists. To Marjorie Wal- ters, Cletus Grocock, Beatrice Riehm, Eulalia Traxler, Betty Shutta, Dorothy Wagner, Mary Ann Cogan, Loretta Housholder, and Marie Frey was given the responsibility of being reporters. The Exhaust endeavored to give the faculty, student body, and the readers in surrounding communities, the high lights of school news in all forms: office news, grade news, art news, vocational news, band news, etc. It gave its support to all school functions, such as P.-T. A., band, chicken supper, skating parties, junior and senior plays, ball games and all other sports, and anything of mutual interest to its readers.

Every Saturday night between June 1 and August 21, if you happened to be passing through our town, you would see the Avilla Band in concert. An invitation was received and accepted by the band to play June 8 at Albion and July 4 at DeWitt Farm. At District Contest the band took second division ratings and was awarded first division ratings at Tri-State Contest. DRUMS Max Newman Joseph Mueller Tom Martin Robert Uhl BASSOON Dorothy Jarrett D er or— BAZIL O ' REILLEY Page 14 After having lost a good- ly number of band players last spring, due to too many diploma awards, changes were necessary. They are as follows: Jack Schauwe- ker, Eb Bass to Trombone; Robert Eiler, Alto Sax to Baritone Sax; Eileen Weid- ler, Bb Clarinet to Bass Clarinet; Marie Christlieb, Cornet to Sousaphone; Alice Wright, Bb Clarinet to Alto Sax. MARCHING BAND One can honestly classify the Avilla marching band as being right up in the top brackets, led by National Champion Joan Lash. It lacked but .4 point of taking first division at District II Organization Contest at Elkhart, April 26, 1941. Mr. O ' Reilley, the director, drew the blueprints for our entering the contest again this year at Columbia City, April 8, 1942. Being twirlish, Brunetta Teders, Martha Garman, and Norma Frost have thus made for a showier and more pompous marching band. Norma, twirling in the Jun- ior Division, rated first in Tri-State and State contests. Brunetta and Martha also received first division ratings at Tri-State. Majorette Joan Lash, entering five contests during the year, rated among the best in the nation, placing first superior at Tri-State, first at State and National and also first in the Purdue Contest held in connection with the Chicago Land Music Festival. During the forerunning year the band exhibited unique marching ability while performing the moving diamond July 4th at the DeWitt Farm and during contest at Manchester, October 18. They ran off with first prize at Kendallville, December 4, while sporting off Santa Claus and giving forth on their horns Up On The House Top and Deck the Halls. Strutting their stuff at five of the basketball games, they presented an unusual novelty, a dumb drum majorette stunt. The Avilla Band wishes to thank parents, school patrons, P.-T. A., merchants, Avilla Lions Club, and all others who have helped make the band more progressive than it has been in the past. Twirlers: Norma Frost, Martha Garman, Brunetta Teders, Drum Majorette Joan Lash. Page 15 HOLD THAT!

Lounge This is the third year Vocational Home Economics has been offered at Avilla. The total number of students enrolled is forty-eight. Miss Harrison is the home economics instructor. The third year specialized in home decorating and clothing. They finished redecorating the dining room, a project started by the class of last year, by making tapestries, winter bouquets, rugs and refinishing furniture. The second year home economics class studied advanced foods the first semester and home nursing the second semester. A scrapbook was kept on the latter course. The first year classes studied food preparation and clothing. This is the second year Boys ' Home Economics has been offered for a second semester class. The fifteen boys enrolled are taking a general course. Miss Harrison also is in charge of an Adult Study Class, which meets every two weeks on Monday evening. There are about thirty-five members in this class. There were twenty-eight girls enrolled in the Girls 4-H Club last summer, twenty-seven of whom completed their projects. Phyllis Lin- ville, who was president of the club, won a trip to attend the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago for her achievement record.

Page 18 AVILLA CHAPTER The Future Farmers of America entered its fourth year of existence with Mr. Land as our sponsor. Officers for the year were Richard Frey, President; Max Newman, vice president; Art Zolman, secretary; Jim Miller, treasurer; and Veryl Weimer, reporter. The activities of the department were local, county, and district corn husking con- rests; pest contest; roller skating party; initiation of green hands; presentation of demonstrations and exhibits at the Farmers ' Institute; various judging contests; game bird restoration project; as wfiU as other minor activities. The Avilla Vocational Vegetable Judging and Variety Identification Team consisting of John Lobdell, Richard Stuart, Calvin Rynearson, and Glen Wolf won first place in the Noble County Contest. This is the second consecutive year that Avilla has won this honor. A team consisting of John Lobdell, Calvin Rynearson, Philip Stout, and Paul Bianski placed fifth in the State Muck Crops Vegetable Judging Contest while our second team consisting of Richard Stuart, Donald Myers, Bob Blotkamp, and Glen Wolf placed eighth in the State Contest. Thirty-six teams competed in the State Contest. The Avilla Vocational and 4-H Dairy Judging Team consisting of Donald Castator, Paul Gienger, Philip Stout, and Jim Miller won top honors in the Northeastern Indiana Dairy Judging Contest held at Huntington in August. Donald Castator was high in- dividual scorer in this contest while Paul Gienger and Philip Stout placed fourth and fifth respectively, in individual scoring. The Crops Judging Team consisting of Art Zolman, Raymond Pfleidner, Dale Fischer, and Robert VanGorder placed second in the Annual Noble County Crops Judging Contest held in Albion in November. The Adult Farmers ' Evening School was continued this year with good attendance and interest. The part-time course in farm shop work attracted considerable interest from the group of younger boys and men. The Future Farmer Chapter along with the Junior Conservation Club, which it spon- sored, established a Game Bird Restoration Project on the Oren Shafer farm in Allen Township. This is in cooperation with the State Conservation Department under the recently passed Pittman-Robertson Act. In addition to this, our club reared and re- leased 5 5 pheasants in the Avilla community. Raymond Pfleidner was crowned the Avi lla F. F. A. corn husking champion; Max Newman was second; and Bob Blotkamp, third. Raymond placed second in the District Contest held near Columbia City. During the month of November, Paul Gienger, one of our members, appeared with Mr. Nye, County Agent, on a Noble County 4-H broadcast from station WOWO. Paul is a six-year Noble County Dairy Club member and was awarded the 4-H Club Production Medal for 194L Two carloads of our members attended the International Livestock Show at Chicago in December. Besides visiting the Stock Show they also visited the Chicago Board of Trade, Armour ' s Packing Plant, Radio Station WLS, Chicago ' s Chinatown, as well as other points of interest. The Avilla Vocational Agriculture Department was selected by the Purdue University Department of Agricultural Education as a resident teacher training station for both 1941 and 1942. Two senior students in agricultural education were sent to Avilla High School for two weeks of resident practice teacher training. Of the practice students, who came here in 1941, Mr. Ralph Wentz is now vocational instructor at Wolf Lake while Mr. Paul Lieurance is employed at Union City. The Avilla Vocational Depart- ment feels proud of the fact that it was rated sufficiently high by Purdue University to become one of the twenty-five schools in the state selected to serve as practice teacher training centers. Dean Cramer and Ralph Simon were selected as delegates to represent the Avilla Chap- ter at the State F. F. A. Convention held at Purdue University in April, 1941. Page 19 THE SPEECH CLASS In the fall of ' 41 ten pupils were enrolled in the speech class under the direction of Miss Miller. Their first project was to learn a few poems and to give them before the class, the assembly, and P.-T. A. They also kept a scrapbook in which they collected many different kinds of poems and readings. The class next centered their attention upon the radio, and in front of the assembly they gave three broadcasts which proved to be quite enter- taining and beneficial for the class in this kind of work. One morning the sound of bells, a beating of a dish pan, dropping of books, and singing were heard coming from Mr. Eiler ' s office. Now don ' t get excited; it was the speech class giving another one of those radio broadcasts which were so much fun! On Friday morning, February 6, the class gave a program on Cour- tesy before the assembly which was for entertainment as well as for showing the puipls what they could do around school to be more Cour- teous. This type of program proved very successful. The next projects were two one-act plays. After many hours of study and practice, Sixteen and Oh, Say Can You Sing? were ready for production and were given before the assembly and P.-T. A. Every month the Reader ' s Digest was used for reports which were given only before the class for the purpose of becoming accustomed to facing an audience and being able to speak. Their last project was orig- inal speech construction which proved they had many able extemporan- eous speakers. The class enjoyed doing this type of work as it has every- thing else it has done throughout the entire year. Page 20 Page 21 BATTER-UP 1941-42 SOFTBALL RECORD Avilla 10 Cromwell .

They will be very much needed on next year ' s squad. The Cubs captured the County Championship by beating Wolf Lake in the final game in an overtime, 24-22. The Cubs finished in second place in the State Corner Conference standing with 6 wins and 2 defeats, but got control of the milk bottle at Butler January 21, and kept it for the duration of the season. This is the first time in the history of the Avilla High School that they have had the milk bottle and the school is downright proud of the Cubs. The Cubs were composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores, being plenty aggressive and on the ball, as we say in basketball. Coach Domer is expecting to use many of these boys for his next year ' s team, who with a year or two of experience, should make some good ball players. rint Row: Bob Myers Max Miller Second Row: Harold Frey Keith Martin Vaughn Kostielney Third Row: Bob Frost (Mgr.)

From the four upper classes poured 45 candidates who wished to represent the Panthers for the coming year. After several practices the squad was cut to 2 5 and remained almost the same through- out the entire season. Some of the outstanding games of the season were the ones with Fre- mont, Butler, Ossian, and also the two rival games with Huntertown, which are always good games regardless. By the way, the Panthers won all these games; but we don ' t talk about the Wolf Lake, Wolcottville, Angola, and Garrett games. And please don ' t mention the Kendallville sectional. With a record of 13 wins and 4 defeats of the scheduled season and having a four-way tie on the State Corner Conference Championship, we think this record compares with many fine records of the past. The Panthers got control of the Victory Bell over at Waterloo and were able to defend it only once and still hold it. They lost it to a strong second half Wolcottville five and were glad to get rid of it, because it took up so much room in the assembly and in the equipment room, and the janitor was getting tired of keeping it dusted. In the initial game of the first team county-tourney, the Panthers were eliminated by a strong Wolf Lake five, who went on to win the tourney title and who were a month or so later crowned the Kendallville sectional and Fort Wayne regional champs. In the 10 o ' clock game of the Friday morning session of the Kendall- ville sectional two favorites of the tourney, Kendallville and Avilla, were brought together to renew their old rivalry. The Comets forged into an early lead which they maintained throughout the entire game and won, 39-26. The squad will miss the departing seniors, namely: D. Fr ey, J. Clark, B. Martin, M. Pepple; but with the county champion second team mov- ing up, their places will be filled in fine shape; and prospects for Avilla ' s having another winning team are very promising for the coming year. For the next year ' s season the Panthers have added a seasonal game to their list with the Kendallville Comets, the schedule remaining the same otherwise.

H. S. (continued) JANUARY — We all came back on the fifth, bright-eyed ready to go to work. The P.-T. A. started the new year by serving hot lunches. The schedule was changed somewhat, but we soon got established into the routine. On the sixth, the fourth P.-T. A. meeting of the year was held. The speech class participated in the entertainment. The Panthers were eliminated from the County Tourney in the first game; however the Cubs came through with the final victory. Jim Miller was late to school only twice this month. On January 28 the American Legion presented a program to the whole school as well as those from the St. Marys ' School in which Mr. Glenn Thrapp of Kendallville spoke and promoted the sale of defense bonds and stamps. A contest among the classes was organized for this purpose. The girls and boys who won the intramural basketball tournaments this month were awarded medals. On the twenty-ninth the Swan Township Farmers ' Institute was held in the gym. FEBRUARY — A new fad has begun! The girls are wearing slacks and the boys are wearing overalls decorated with slogans and autographs in white ink. The juniors came out this month attired in sweaters of green and gold. They never will get over the fact that they were once freshmen, will they? The speech class presented on the sixth a program promoting courtesy. The seniors had a special class meeting on the ninth. You should have heard Mr. Eiler tell them off at that particular meeting! He gave them a few pointers on etiquette. Those lady teachers are really tough! They really took the senior girls down the Une! (Speaking of basketball). The Panthers lost the last basketball game of the season to the Garrett Railroaders. Then came the Sectional Tourney! All teams were well matched, and Avilla was eliminated in the first round. You can ' t always win! Wolf Lake represented this sectional in the Regional. MARCH — The inter-class basketball tournaments (boys and girls) were the main attractions the first two weeks in March. All were good games and much enjoyed by the students as well as the teachers. Mr. Joseph Adair, the Noble County superintendent of schools, was the main speaker at this month ' s P.-T. A. meeting. Also on the program was a one-act play given by the speech class and music by other students. Then on March 13 were played the Annual benefit games for the Annual. There were three good games and a large crowd of spectators. The District Solo and Ensemble Contest was held at Waterloo on the twenty-eighth. The Avilla School was well represented with six solos and six ensembles. The senior play, The Spider ' s Web, was presented on March 24 and 2 5 with a large crowd attending. APRIL — The F. F. A. boys have not forgotten how to skate and did their best to keep others from forgetting how by sponsoring their annual skating party on April sixth. The Senior Class of 1942 were the honored guests at the April P.-T. A. meeting on April 7, and were properly entertained by that group. Then amusement was provided for the entire group by twirlers from Miss Guthrie ' s room and a playlet, The Three Bears by members of the first grade. The seniors had full swing on the thirteenth. Senior Class Day. The juniors received many valuable articles from the departing seniors, and seniors were given a glimpse into their futures. The seniors were expelled from school for good on the fourteenth. The Junior-Senior banquet came along on the fifteenth. The girls, dressed in every color of the rainbow, and the boys, in their best bibs and tuckers, made an interesting procession. Most of the juniors came back to school on the next day but I wonder if they kept awake. The seniors were given their awards of guidance on April 19 at the baccalaureate by Rev. John Reed, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist church in LaOtto. On April 20 the underclassmen struggled through their final exams. I guess most of them passed. The class of ' 42 said their final good-byes to A.H.S. on April 22 at the Commence- ment. Rev. Paul Kraus, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, delivered a very inspiring address to the class as well as to a large audience. Although this marks the end of our high school training, our education does not cease.

On September second, the doors of Avilla High School were opened to forty-five freshmen. Mr. Domer was chosen to be their sponsor with Robert Eiler, president; Brenda Harrod, secretary; and Marietha Weimer, treasurer. Doris Wolf and Marilyn Simon were chosen yell leaders by the student body for a period of one year. Although an initiation party was not permitted, a marshmallow and wiener bake was held at the home of Doris Wolf. After refreshments had been served, a series of games were played and everyone reported a most enjoyable evening. The class president suggested the sale of government bonds and stamps within the school, and thus was initiated the contest among the six upper grades. The freshmen showed prominence of placing high in the contest among the classes. During the year, Doris Billman and Eldon Knapp were lost and so the doors closed upon the first year of high school life.

At last we ' re sophomores was the thought in all the minds of last year ' s freshmen when we entered Avilla High School last fall. We se- lected the following sophomores to guide the class through the year: Keith Martin, president; Bonnie Worman, vice president; Martha Crothers, secretary; and Dorothy Jarrett, treasurer. Miss Gilliland was chosen sponsor. We all enjoyed a wiener roast at the Wolf woods last fall. The selection of our class rings was an important event of our sophomore year. Our names are found on the honor roll each month, and you will also see us in the extra-curricular activities about A. H. S. Members of the sophomore class will be found in softball, girls ' chorus, band, and basketball.

After two timid years they have now become brave juniors. Their wise selections to lead the class this year fell to Max Newman as president and Bob VanGorder as vice president. Lavon Simon was elected secretary and Keith Sheets, treasurer, with Mr. Helmer as sponsor. The juniors have an abundance of talent, which was shown during the production of The All American Family, their class play. Remark- able talent has been expressed through the field of music with Dale Fischer, Eilene Weidler, Max Newman, Betty Sneary, Bob VanGorder, Brunetta Teders, Tom Knauer, Ruth Wilson, and Bob Frost all playing in the high school band. The athletes were Harold Pepple, Tom Knauer, Keith Sheets, Max Newman, and Bob Beltz. The usual Junior-Senior Banquet was sponsored successfully by the junior class. In November they held a skating party which was attended by the entire high school. They also enjoyed a class party during April.

Page 39 TIME WAS Just a brief history of the illustrious class of 1942 of Avilla High School is related. Four years ago, not the usual group of shy, naive underclassmen crept softly into the high school assembly; but forty-eight stout-hearted, dauntless freshmen trooped into the school with grim determination to obtain for themselves some of the coveted glory plus some respect from those upperclassmen. Off with a whoosh we chose Miss Miller, spon- sor; Skin Pepple, president; Walter Schauweker, vice president; Cleo Crothers, secretary; and John Clark, treasurer. We were well in the groove by October, but the senior council of sages still had other ideas. Persistent rumors of initiation were audible everywhere. The crucial day came, but flounder we — no indeedy! We forty-eight valiant crusaders ran the gauntlet with- out a whimper, ate the meager rations of ice cream and wafers, and then toiled long, weary hours cleaning the gym. Around Hallowe ' en the intelligentsia (freshmen to you) condescended to have a ghost-gathering with the sophomores. The class also had an April Fool ' s party during the course of the year. In our sophomore year Mr. Forney, Stan Fordeck, Merle Pepple, Cleo Crothers and Beverly Riehm were at the helm. Our one party of the year was at the school house in March. Of paramount importance was the ordering of our class rings toward the end of the school year. The next fall we again chose Mr. Forney as junior sponsor. After the arrival and the usual exchange of rings betwixt some lassies and laddies, we presented the class play Billy ' s Goat. The juniors sponsored a skating party for the high school in November. The biggest event for everyone in school was the momentous winning of the sectional tourney. Three of the first five were of the junior class — namely John Clark, Merle Pep- ple, and Allen Anderson. We turned back the pages of time and were children for one short night at a Kid Party which was held in the gym in February. A colorful pat- riotic theme was carried out in the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at the Y. W. C. A. at Fort Wayne on April 16. Afterward the distinguished gathering saw The Great Dictator at the Emboyd. The juniors ' most brilliant social function of the year was a wiener-bake at the country estate of Betty Shutta where we cavorted gaily in the sylvan setting of the family woodland. Came autumn 1941 — forty-five seniors assembled and elected Merle Pepple, president; Walter Schauweker, vice president; Bill Martin, secretary; Delores Wolf, treasurer; and Miss Shoup, sponsor. Black chenille A ' s on old gold combined to make the most stunning class sweaters seen on any seniors in years. We also chose the sweet pea as the class flower and A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits as the class motto. Senior social life started with a wiener-roast ' neath a silvery Harvest Moon on October 1 5 . On October 2 8 we wended our way to the Cron Studios in Fort Wayne to have our likenesses taken to be preserved for posterity. Name cards came at an opportune time, December, for the underclassmen to beg them from us. Also in December the class bickered over commencement announcements, only because it was customary; we ordered them in February. The senior class play, The Spider ' s Web, was presented to the public on March 24 and 25 with the potential Bernhardts and Barrymores at their most exalted. During the last month, we were engulfed in a maelstrom of school activities. Foremost am ong them, were Senior Day on April 13, the Junior-Senior Banquet on April 15, and Baccalaureate on the 19th. Then came the night of nights — Commencement. On the evening of April 22 forty-four excited, chattering seniors marched to the strains of the time-honored classic, Pomp and Circumstance, and received their diplomas. And so we come to the close of four memorable years in A. H. S. In the years to come, no doubt, we shall look back with a tugging of heart strings on those carefree days when we unconsciously absorbed a sturdy philosophy of life from the fine group of men and women we were privileged to have as teachers and advisers. We bid it all farewell with mingled feelings of joy and regret and go forth to meet what the future may hold with buoyant expectancy in our hearts. Finis. Page 40 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1942 We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-two, hereby declare ourselves in a state of bankruptcy and therefore will the things, which could be of no earthly use to anyone, to those who, we feel, will appreciate the sentiment attached to them. 1, Merle Pepple, leave the entire Junior Class to the tender ministerings of Max Newman, I, Veryl Weimer, will my title The Great Lover to Philip Stout. I, Richard Frey, will my dog to anybody that wants to F-l-ea the country. 1. La Von Carteaux, leave my accomplishment in cultivating my fingernails too long, gleaming jewels to Betty Sneary. I, Stan Fordeck, while sane and half asleep, will my Ford to Miss Shoup, provided she will love, honor, cherish it, and promise to pay not less than $12 per tire for retreads. We, Loretta and Betty Housholder, will our inclination to be always together to Alice Call and Hazel Fisher. L Jacqueline Spacy, leave a little of my art talent to Thelma Myers so she can draw some- thing besides beautiful lush girls with sweeping eyelashes in business class. 1, Marjorie Walters, leave my incredibly long eyelashes to Eileen Weidler. 1, Philip Helmer, sheik of Avilla, leave my harem to ladies ' men. Bill Wineland and Robert VanGorder. I, Cletus Grocock, leave my petite figure to Roseanna Keck. I, Loella Grawcock, leave my cool demeanor to the Leitch twins. I, John Ley, leave to Eleanor Marti a list of explicit instructions on how to take care of her little sister for me. 1, Lois Troyer, leave my nobody-knows-his-name-boy-friend to Mary Louise Wolf. I, Joan Lash, will my baton to Calvin Rynearson. I, Virginia Conrad, leave my peaches and cream complexion and velvet eyes to Ellen Kreienbrink. J, Marie Frey, will my dexterity as a diamond-getter to any on-coming senior girl. I, Wilma Brown, leave my name, because I want to change it. I, Eulalia Traxler, will my shyness of the boys to any girl who wants it. But alas! I am afraid there are few who do. I, Delores Wolf, will my typing ability to Dorothy Landgraff and Phylis Bertsch to fight over (especially the one-minute speed tests). I, Bill Martin, will my late hours and my cute baby face to Keith Sheets. I, Leila Kugler, leave my skill in running things to Harold Pepple. I, Don Newman, refuse to will anything. I need all I have. 1, Nancy Hersh, will my love for bright red to Alice Lung. L Warren Harding, leave to Archie Kugler my comic magazines and to Carl Meyer my True Stories. J, Donald Helmkamp, will my Tarzan physique to John Lobdell and Vern Christlieb, L Mary Warble, will my warbling warble to Wanita Huff (for chorus only). I, Richard Shaffer, will to Gwen Southern my identification badge which proves my Chinese ancestry, so that Gwen will not have to undergo the knifings and abuses I ' ve experienced because I resemble a Jap. L Martha Blotkamp, must have my giggle-laugh preserved by someone who understands its very inflection, so I shall will it to my next-best friend, June Lavelda Scheurich. L Omer Traxler, leave my abhorence of girls to Bob Renkenberger. We Jims, Frankenberg and Miller, because we are stubborn and bull-headed will not will. I, Art Zolman, will my I-don ' t-care-cause-I-don ' t-nature to Dale Fischer. L John Clark, will and put on the sturdy shoulders of Tom Knauer all my heart-troubles, because I know Tom understands my soul. 1, Cleo Crothers, will my faculty to get along with the Pepple family to Ruth Wilson. We, K. Berkes and Betty Yarian, will our wills to anyone who wants our wills willed to them. L Raymond Pfleidner, will my capacity to tell jokes which never rec eive any laughs to Bob Frost. I, Allen Anderson, will my ability to get through on the 5rd or 4th try to Chet Dove. I, Dorothy Wagner, will to June Keller that awful old thing I type on in typing class, because I am sure June will slap the meanness out of it, if it gets fresh with her. 1, Walter Schauweker, will my Caesar Romero profile to Bob Beltz. I, Beatrice Riehm, will to Lois Wright and Dorothy Fike my sailors, army men, R. A. F. fliers, and all. I, Betty Shutta, will to Brunetta Teders all my business test papers so that she can make Page 41 up her back tests; and, Brunetta, old girl, I hope he gives you the same tests. I, Mary Ann Cogan, leave my slacks wardrobe to Vera Christlieb, Barbara Stonestreet, and Alice Call; but woe is me — I have only one pair so they ' ll have to take turns wearing them. We, the Senior Class, while of magnanimous mind, will to the high school and Tater anything that ' s left of the teachers and the school after Senior Day. In Witness Thereof, we, the Senior Class, have hereunto subscribed our name and affixed our seal, at Avilla High School, City of Avilla, State of Indiana, in the year of 1942. Signed: THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1942. TIME WILL COME Ten years have elapsed since the class of 1942 bade farewell to Avilla High School. Of course, you all must be eager to know what has become of them. The following is the authentic data concerning them, gathered and recorded to the best of your re- porter ' s ability: Phil Helmer is an instructor at the local Singer Sewing Machine Center — he iinds French knots and puffed sleeves most engrossing. Raymond Pfleidner, romantic, oper- atic, dramatic-baritone, is considering movie offers. Cleo Crothers is singing for her supper, sitting on a piano, wailing That ' s the Curse of an Aching Heart in true Beatrice Kay fashion. And of course many of us have seen the Snodgrass rodeo with Wilma Brown as star performer. Bill Martin, little home-loving body, with wife, Delores Wolf, is in the special-order florist business. Bi.l reports that his most called for corsage is made of roses. Jacqueline Spacy is at the University of Sorbonne Art School in Paris during the winter and teaches at Cranwood Art Academy in the summer. Have you heard that new record album of giggles and laughs? Well, Martha Blotkamp and her famous laugh are recording exclusively on Victor Masterwork Records now. Lois Troyer is trying to sell her newest play Angels Wink at Each Other over Those Glamour Girls. Betty and Loretta Housholder are running a home for stray dogs and cats. Beatrice Riehm, w ho is a leading exponent on the Rhumba and La Conga, and her dancing partner and husband, Veryl Weimer, are touring the country, at present, with his ballet troupe. Former army hostesses, Lavon Carteaux and Loella Grawcock have married the daring test pilots, Richard Frey and Jim Miller. Jim Frankenberg and Donald Newman are traveling from kindergarten to kindergarten in Oklahoma giving tooth brush drills to the kiddies and casting furtive glances at the pretty teachers. John Ley and Eulalia Traxler are manufacturing gold fish bowls. Leila Kugler is the new drummer in Gene Drup ' s band. Allen Anderson has a thriving little business, quilting quilts and designing quilt patterns; and his fiancee, Joan Lash, travels about selling them — at least trying to. Last time I saw Nancy Hersh, she was on top of Mount Everest with a machine gun and a telescope looking for her run-away husband. I notice that Virginia Conrad ' s dazzling smile is gracing many Ipana tooth paste ads. Cletus Grocock and Kathleen Berkes are singing and dancing curb-hops at Art Zol- man ' s drive-in. Lo and Behold — Stan Fordeck has replaced Joe Louis as heavy-weight boxing champion of the world. Warren Harding is editor of the woman ' s page of the Journal-Gazette. Omer Traxler is principal of the Ege High School and I ' m told, wields a mean hickory paddle. Dorothy Wagner and Betty Shutta, who operate a parrot shop, write me that they are having much difficulty getting special imported crackers for their quackers. (That one was awful, wasn ' t it?) Betty Yarian is the proprietor of a hambruger stand in LaOtto. Donald Helmhamp and wife, Marie Frey, are being feted and lauded everywhere as scientific geniuses who have contributed greatly to the synthetic rubber industry. Donald even eats rubber pie crust and bis- cuits for dinner each evening. Richard Shafer (pronounced Ree ' cord) played the first performance of his Sousaphone Concerto Oompa-pa in Z Flat Major with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra two weeks ago. Mary Anne Cogan, research chemist, is trying to discover what makes Ivory Soap float, a problem that has baffled scientists for years. Last week several of us saw one of home economists. Merle Pepple ' s, cooking shows. His noble brow is a network of lines brought on by worry over the fact that he can ' t keep the hand towels white because spouse, Marjorie Walters, tinkers with her airplane and gets her paddies all black and gooey. Your reporter met Reverend Walter Schauweker one fine day last week on his way to the church to officiate at the wedding of Mary Ellen Warble and Lieutenant John Clark. Page 42 i 1 I ■■ _■ m 1.
