One day one of the children announced, “My birthday will be in three weeks,” but Bobby Wenger retorted, Naomi has a sooner birthday than that.” One day Michael Lehman confided to Mrs. Chrisman, Miss Chrisman, we had a broken-down last night.” He meant a breakdown, of course. ❖ In Art Class Mrs. Chrisman drew a kitten's head on the blackboard. Roger Mesh-berger studied it, then declared, That looks like a girl bunny.” 5 Mrs. Chrisman played the Blue Danube Waltz on the piano. She said. “The composer’s name is Strauss. It might make you think of hay.” Next music period, when she asked “Who wrote the Blue Danube Waltz?” Sue Ann Graber triumphantly announced, “Hay!” Freddie Whitehurst was much impressed bv Miss Jeanette’s hat. He pointed to the veil and asked, Is that a thing that comes down over your eyes?” Yes,” she replied, “but I don’t wear it that way.” “No,” he explained, “you couldn't see so well to drive if it was foggy.” $ In connection with our study of the Eskimos, we talked about the Northern Lights. One morning David Heare said, “I saw the Eskimo Shadows last night.” $ $ Rachel (Pepper)—Miss Rose, somebody hurt one of the Berdell twins (Berdell being the name of one of the Lehman twins). + Miss Rose—What is poetry?

Secretary Irene Graber, Treasurer These Last Four Years It was a bright fall day in the year of ’42 when fifty starry-eyed Freshmen entered the halls of Berne High School. The adventures that lav ahead of us we never surmised. But soon it was known to all that here was a class with ambition and courage to put things through. At our first class meeting we chose four officers to help us through this new ordeal. Carl Henry Muselman became our president; Darlene Bowman, our vice president; Charles Abraham, cur secretary; and Hugh D. Sprunger, our treasurer. They were wonderful—braving us through our first successful year. Then came our Sophomore year, and ah. . . what bliss! For we had a new name; our old name, Freshman, was forgotten. We strolled through the halls with assurance and boldly stood up for our own. During this year we acquired much knowledge, for we had a world history course, which really set our minds buzzing. Then we had a hayride class party, which was enjoyed by all. This year our class officers were Frederick Liech-ty, president; Darlene Bowman, vice president; Gloria Riesen, secret:ry; and Stuart Lehmann, treasurer. In our Junior year life was filled with brimming experiences. There was our Junior Class party. (We called it a Hobo Party . . . and it was!) Then came cur first real distinction among the students of the school—our class play, “Spring Green.” It was a successful venture; the tickets were a complete sell-out. And then in the spring we Juniors entertained the Seniors with a reception. We worked diligently and were indeed proud when it proved successful. Our leaders this year were Stuart Lehmann, president; Hugh D. Sprunger, vice president; Delores Sprunger. secretary; and Charles Abraham, treasurer. Our Senior year started off with a bang. When we entered the doors of old Berne High, we well knew this was cur last year’s opportunity to enjoy Miss Hirschy’s study hall . . . Mr. Spurgeon’s pet poem, “Abou Ben Adhem,” . . . Mr. Webb’s lectures in the gym . . . and Miss Blue’s hand that automatically fluttered up to those dark raven tresses Twelve of hers! Yes, it all seems like a dream that we are actually reigning supreme over our other associates. Our officers this year are, Stuart Lehmann, president; Frederick Liech-tv, vice president; Darlene Bowman, secretary; and Irene Graber, treasurer. This year is filled with fun and excitement! For our class motto we chose, “Always Lead. Never Follow.” Our class colors are dubonnet and white, in which this annual has been bound, and our class flower is none other than the white rose. Also we are looking forward with great anticipation to our Senior Class trip which Mr. Webb has so kindly promised us. This year our class has decided to go to Chicago, Illinois, where there will be many interesting sights. Another great phase in our Senior career was our class play entitled “Who Wouldn't Be Crazy?” It is a play rollicking with humor and fun. We indeed want to thank all the teachers for their kind and generous help through our high school days. Their friendliness and helpful manners will long be remembered by the class of '46. Now on May 21 the dauntless class of '46 will draw its school days to a close and join the Berne High Alumni. ADIEU Class of ’46 In ’41 First Row- James Burdge. Roger Amstutz. Marilyn Wiederkehr.

But let us see. if they'll go on from here In that same spirit and good cheer. As the future picture now comes to my sight. I see none have gone wrong, but each right. I find not only one of them did succeed. But each lass and lad has, yes. indeed. Quiet! I hear a beautiful piano tune. Oh. why did it have to end so soon? I could stay here and listen forever, For Miriam Wiederkehr plays so clever. This girl once took care of the 2nd grade; Liked it so. she became a school teacher maid. The pupils find Treva Habegger so sweet; Each morning they bring her an apple treat. As I looked closer at the book I had read, My eyes nearly popped out of my head. For I found the author of the poems to be None other than Catherine Musser. you see. The next thing I see is a little Miss Who has become a very good seamstress. Now Yvonne Reusser sews dresses galore But not only women are at her front door. Now this gal really makes things fly. Almost as quick as she winks her eye. Patty Lou Reusser has a secretary’s duty; And I see she is still quite a beauty. You want to know what I just said; Who it is that’s painting the town red? It is Gloria Riesen and Johnny still; You know. I guess, they always will. I see that Irene Graber made a good pick. If you don’t think so. just ask Flick. She now has become a good housewife; Seems to be leading a wonderful life. Burl Sprunger. is quite proud. I'd say -Conductor on the Atchison. Topeka, and Santa Fe. For he travels through sunshine and rain. Riding on that great big choo-choo train. I see Marilyn Wiederkehr settled down In a sweet little house, in a cozy town. And I think her life just now begins. Because the stork brought her girl twins. Charles Nussbaum is now really on top. Can you guess why he became a cop? He wanted to pull someone in for speeding; How he does enjoy to hear their pleading! Maynard didn’t have to dig a deep ditch On the day that he decided to get rich. I found, he just married some cute honey, Who possessed loads and loads of money. I see Warren Habegger on a chair stretched out. And he’s feeling very comfortable, no doubt. For he got it from his own Furniture Concern. Which is still located on Road 27 in Berne. Gee! Look at the next thing to be seen— It’s Stuart Lehmann—college professor dean. In Math and Latin they keep him busy. With silly questions that make him dizzy. I find a building packed to the door: Just listen to that cheer and roar As Lou Marie Smith now takes a bow After playing her accordion, and how! I see Lena Eicher took a college course In the interest of biological resource I find her teaching Weller's former class; They are now making a study of the grass. I find Carl Muselman sure did progress. For he took over his dad’s printing press. As long as “Henry” is the ’’boss,” The business won't ever run to a loss. I find Loren Sprunger married a dame; They have a house at the end of the lane. He’s working hard on a factory shift To support their latest “blessed gift.” This basketball game I really enjoy; Look at the points made by that boy! Fredrick Liechty is now a national star; Of course, he is known both near and far. Wow! Look at Darlene Bowman giving commands. Oh. yes. Jerry placed his life in her hands. But they seem to be getting along quite fair Don’t you agree, they make a dandy pair! By whom was that beautiful picture made? Oh. yes. I see. Delores Sprunger got paid. She was quite satisfied with her art Until the day Dan Cupid shot his dart. Ellenora Mertz still has that cute figure. For I sec she hasn’t got much bigger. She still likes very much to sing. And can almost as good as Bing. Pauline Michaud still has her Crosley. But there is one great change I see— For in the car it wasn’t Pauline I found. But her three little kids tearing around. Phyllis Wittwer. better known as Sam,” Quite early in life got herself a man. She is really a very good housekeeper; Yet. it’s he I see running the sweeper. Here's the way Loren Liechty earns his bread He hits the nail hard right on its head. He builds things in a very short time. And I find his work is very sublime. Norman Lehman thinks it is a treat To work in many acres of wheat. I see the farmer now takes a wife. And lives happily the rest of his life. Hugh Sprunger is an airplane mechanic. Who at the present moment is in auite a panic. With sweat, he’s working with all his might; Sure enough, the plane is now working right. Please remember lawyer Charles Abraham In case you somehow ever get into a jam. For he’ll be able to help you out. I'm sure: He’s like that other “Abe”—honest and pure. I first thought I was having an illusion. But someone’s getting a transfusion. Who’s that but Margie Moser by their bed, Wearing a white nurse cap on her head. Twenty Imagine what Eloise Soldner wanted to be— The most famous woman doctor is she. And what amazing things she learns— That all kind of kisses carry germs. One can see by the amount of this mail That DeWayne Felber has made a good sale. I see he is a business manager who rushes so. But it’s worth it. for he has lots of dough. When I looked into the life of Robert Isch I found he'd married a cute little dish, Who brings his slippers to his chair. This guy is riding on a cloud in the air! Meredith Sprunger enjoys his work, I see, For a house salesman now is he. His pockets with money are quite full. For he is still able to sling the bull. John Zehr now has a business of his own. So remember him when you need a loan. For The Zehr's Saving Trust,” I see Charges a person only a 99 per cent fee. LeRoy Neuenschwander, the boy so tall, I hope in his work will never fall. For he now is a pilot who flies high. As he sails across that sunset sky. Robert Baumgartner is directing workouts in a gym To get shoulders broad and waists slim. I find men have become strong by his advice. But here’s a secret—they paid a good price. This lady in reaching the sky didn't lose. For here is what Beverly Krehbiel did choose— She is now a faithful preacher’s wife. Who’s helping the many that are in strife. Mary Gilliom was acting silly one day When a producer came along the way. He thought her so good—it’s a fact. That she is now doing a comedy act. We’ll now take a trip to a far off land To a people we can't quite understand. Paul Amstutz is in work that’s necessary; I find him now as a missionary. Before Robert Reynolds could make up his mind. The United States Army drafted him. I find. But he has really done all right, by the way, For they iust made him a general today. I see Mary Lou Fox is no longer in Berne: She's working in the office of a large firm. I find she is the only one on the staff. Who has that sweet but contagious laugh. Jim is working with boxes in a candy shop, That’s noted for its nice ribbons on top. Now Burdge’s assistants really help a lot; He holds his finger as they tie the knot. Pardon me. folks, but I want to get near. For I believe that is Merlin Habegger I hear. Yes sir. Doc is another Sinatra Crooner. And he’s not bad either at being a swooncr. Hi. Ho. Silver: Look! It is the Lone Ranger But. watch out. folk , for ahead h danger. Ydp. Howard Ellenberger got a broken limb. Because that mean old horse just threw him. The picture is now fading out of sight. But each of us will go on in the right To help make and preserve this nation to be The home of the brave—the land of the free. Here is the Pied Piper with a trombone, Compiled by But instead of mice, the girls do moan. For Roger Amstutz is a handsome boy, Catherine Musser Who is living a life of boundless joy. Bookworms Twenty- Last Will and Testament The Senior Class of Berne, Indiana, having been informed on May 20, 1946. she must die due to a very serious case of knowledgitis. has commissioned us. as her attorneys, to draw up a will, bestowing a few earthly effects, which she now has in her possession, upon her nearest and dearest friends and relatives.

(Signed) Treva Habegcer Charles Abraham Twenty-two Jaunty Juniors James Sprunger, President John Smith, Vice President Flossie Beer, Secretary Vera Habegger, Treasurer In September thirty-two new juniors came bounding back to school to start a new year and display their vast amount of wisdom. After a short period of readjusting ourselves for the long grind until May, we had the election of officers. The officers were as follows: President, James Sprunger; Vice President, John Smith; Secretary, Flossie Beer; and Treasurer, Vera Habegger. Our class sponsor is Miss Hirschy. In February we presented the three-act comedy “Don’t Keep Him Waiting.” The play was under the direction of Miss Stone. At various times throughout the year we trotted gailv back to school to attend the high school parties. We maintained a fairly high morale throughout the year amid the grade cards and demerits in history class. May caught us playing host to the seniors at the junior-senior reception. Boy, did we dress up! It also found us leaving the school for the summer. We would return as seniors! Juniors First Row: Mary Amstutz. Paul Baumgartner. Flossie Beer, Roger Beitler. Rosemary Beitler.

David Schwartz; Vice President, Larry Liechty; Secretary, Chester Habegger; Treasurer, Sally Bagley. These officers served well and faithfully throughout the year. The high spot of the year was a party held in the school gymnasium in the middle of December.

The Bears settled down again and played very fine basketban for tne rest of the season, losing only four other hard played tilts. After completing their regular season, the Berne Bears captured the sectional championship for the second consecutive year under the competent coaching of Ned Shuck. The Bears went on to Huntington and defeated the Huntington Vikings 35-30 in the afternoon only to lose to a red hot Portland team in the final game of the regional by a score of 41-38. The Berne team also participated in the New Year’s Day Blind Tourney, which was held at Decatur. The Bears were put out of the running in the first game bv losing to the Decatur Yellow Jackets 24-23. In the evening the Bears met New Haven in the consolation game, and they defeated the Bulldogs 41-26. The Bears were fortunate in having two very fine forwards by the names of Frederick Liechty and Robert Baumgartner. Rounding out Berne’s “Fightin Five” were Jerry Stucky. plaving the pivot, and Carl Muselinan and John Smith holding down the guard positions. Coach Ned Shuck put eight seniors and two juniors together to form one of Berne’s best basketball teams, and he led them through the season to a record of 20 wins and 5 losses.

Fennig Ned Shuck, cur very competent coach, has led the Bears to two consecutive sectional titles. He certainly deserves all the credit we can give him. He has taught us to play the game for all it’s worth. His patience and skill in handling the team and his friendliness have won our respect and admiration. His teams have made very good records in all sports in the two seasons he has been with us. Robert Baumgartner, a Senior, was the Bear’s second leading scorer, a good rebound man, and a tough defensive man. He had one of the most unusual and clever under-the-basket fakes ever used in basketball. He usually played his best ball during the tournaments. Bob has shown a lot of determination in his three years of varsity basketball, and he made the All-Sectional and All-Regional teams this year as a forward.—N. S. Frederick Liechty, a Senior and 3-year varsity man, was the Bear's leading scorer. He was fast and shifty, depending on his driving in and a one-hand push shot for a lot of his points. A good defensive man as well as a good offensive man, he was always giving his best. He made the All-Sectional and All-Regional teams this year as forward and alternated with Baumgartner and Muselman as captain of the team throughout the season.—N. S. Jerry Stucky, a Junior playing his second year of varsity ball, was the team’s most effective rebound man and a good ball handler. His scoring ability is improving, and he should be an outstanding player next year. He made the All-Regional team as center this year and much is expected of him in his senior year.—N. S. Carl Muselman, a Senior and the third three-year man on the team, was the best passer and ball handler on the team. Many goals were made due to his cleverness in dribbling and passing. He was very adept at stealing the ball from his opponent and he always remained calm throughout the game. Carl was a very good team man, and he made the All-Sectional team this year as guard.—N. S. John Smith, a Junior, was the other guard on the starting five. He started slowly but improved steadily throughout his first season on varsity. One of the team’s best defensive men, a good dribbler, and a good ball handler, John should develop into an excellent rebound man and scorer by next year. He was the team’s safety man against opponent’s fast break. He and Stucky should form the nucleus of next year’s team.—N. S. , Robert Isch, a Senior, was usually inserted into the game to get a bucket. ?nd he came through most of the time. He was probably the team’s hardest-working and most conscientious player. He was a good defensive man and could score, but passed up many shots bv passing to his teammates. Bob played on the first team for two years as forward.—N. S. Hugh Sprunger. a Senior playing his fust year on the first team, was a good bank-board and defensive man. He did not shoot much but was responsible for many good shots of his teammates. Hugh was a hard worker and a good team man, and he played both forward and center.—N. S. Charles Abraham, a Senior and two-year varsity man, was a steady, level headed ball player, the kind that makes very few mistakes. He was a good shot from outside the foul circle, although he never scored verv much, and he was valuable in a close bail game, for he usually came through with a basket when it really counted.—N. S. LeRoy Neuenschwander. a Senior, was the largest member of the team. He could have developed into swell pivot man in another year. This was his first year on the basketball squad, and he was a lot of help in several games on the backboards. It would be nice if he had another year.—N. S. Warren Habegger. a Senior, playing for the first time on the varsity, was the most rugged and the hardest-working player on the team. He sparked the team to more drive and determination when inserted into the lineup. Liked by all, he helped to maintain the team’s morale at a high level, fie was also a good rebound and defensive man.—N. S. Brice Fennig, a Junior, was the coach’s able assistant. Taking care of the boys and the equipment is a tough job, but he did it well. As a good student manager does, he helped keep them in good spirits and took care of their minor injuries. We are glau to have him around again next year.—N. S. Thirty-four Fighting Cubs Back Row: Tom Zehr, Larry Liechty, Max Habeggcr. Herman Balsiger, James Shoemaker.

Jack Lehman, John Eichenberger The Berne Cubs also had a very successful season, winning 15 while losing only 3. The Cubs participated in a second-team tourney which was held at Portland during December. In this tourney the Cubs defeated Winchester 32-17 and then dropped the second game to Portland 26-18, thus making a total season’s record of 16 wins against 4 losses. Class Tourney The Class Tourney was won this year by the Seniors, who also won it last year as Juniors. The four classes were paired off in the following fashion. The Seniors got the scare of their lives before they defeated the Sophomore team by a narrow margin 23-24. In the second game the Juniors were victorious over the Freshmen by a top heavy score of 44-7. The final game saw the Juniors and Seniors battling it out for the title and the Seniors emerged victorious by a 26-25 score after trailing 14-10 at the half. Berne has some tough teams coming up in the future if the underclassmen play like they did in the class tourney. A THRILLING GAME One night Sherman and I acted as if we played the Regional Tourney. He was Boomer, and I was Liechty. We put on our playing suits and went out on the floor. First in the game was a jump ball. The jump ball was between Liechty and Burkhart of Huntington. Berne got the tip. and. for play, children hollered, “Yea! Yea! Nice going. Liechty! What are you talking about?” I said back. I didn't go any place. Then a boy said. We mean nice going for getting the ball.” Oh. oh! I said I didn't know that. Excuse me!” It was an exciting game. At the half it was 14 to 2. At the end it was 50 to 25. Berne won. This is the end.

This year there were six teams with about eight players on each. The teams, which are named for colors, are: The Golds, the Reds, the Blacks, the Whites, the Blues, and the Greens. The Golds won the intramural tournament by defeating the Blues in the final game by a score of 17 to 11.

The battery for the Bears was made up of Fred Liechty, pitcher, and Charles McCrory, catcher. Backing up these boys were Jerry Stucky. first base; Robert Baumgartner, second base; Charles Abraham, short stop; Roger Beitler, third base; Robert Isch, left field; Hugh Sprunger, right field; and Warren Habegger, center field. The team was well balanced with plenty of hitting power and a tight defense.

Make up Music Masters Music is a kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech.—Carlyle With the return of Mr. Burkhalter from service we have been fortunate to have three music instructors this year. In this way the Music Department has been able to carry on the tradition of music in Berne. The instrumental program includes the High School Band. High School Orchestra, and Junior Orchestra for beginners. Recently a Tonette Band and Rhythm Band were organized in the grades. The vocal organizations are A Cappella Choir composed of selected juniors and seniors, the Training Chorus composed of Freshmen and Sophomores preparing in A Cappella Choir, and the Junior Choir composed of Junior high students. Several students have participated in ensembles; namely, the clarinet quartet, string ensemble, girls’ trio, and woodwind quintet. All won first division in the District Contest. All groups have been active in both school and community functions and with pride look back on a most successful year. Below you see our Marching Band in B formation Forty Our Note-d Band The Berne High School Band is one of the important organizations of our school. The work of the music department has been expanded since Mr. Burkhalter returned in the early part of December of last year, after being in the United States Army for three years. During the past year the band has participated in a great number of public performances, such as playing for all local ball games, the Lyceum Program in January, and the Colt Show. On April 13th the band traveled to Fort Wavne and participated in a band contest where they competed with about a dozen other bands from this area. Our band won second division in this event. Miss Arlene Feinberg accepted the position of Music Instructor during the absence of Mr. Burkhalter. As a member of our Faculty Miss Feinberg has given untiringly of her services in the development of our Band, which stands as a monument to her high qualifications as Music Director. Miss Feinberg’s outstanding achievement was the development and perfect execution of unique formations in marching technique. Following are the members comprising the High School Band: Piccolo: Max Habegger Flute: Darlene Bowman Marjorie Moser Frederick Stauffer Bb Clarinets: John Zehr Pauline Michaud Gloria Riesen Delores Sprunger Roger Beitler Eloise Soldner Tommy Zehr Mary Ellen Nussbaum Ronald Townsend Sally Hewitt Kenyon Sprunger Baritone Saxophone Alice Lehman Anna Jane Habegger LeRoy Neuenschwander Bob Schindler Donna Sprunger Alto Clarinet: Paul Lloyd Baumgartner Bass Clarinet: Margaret Webb Oboe: Delora Graber Bassoon: Merlin Lehman Alto Saxophone: Marilyn Smith Tenor Saxophone: Waneta Nussbaum Treva Habegger French Horn: Robert Burley Carol Sprunger Mellophone: Sally Bagiev Ruth Inniger Cornets: Jerry Stucky Jack Lehman Valier Amstutz DeWayne Felber Billy Stucky Baritones: Stuart Lehman Jack Nussbaum Trombones: James Shoemaker Roger Amstutz Richard Hirschy Sousaphone: Warren Habegger Gecrge Balsiger Percussion: Magdalene Lehman Charles McCrory Colvin McWhirter Flossie Beer Danny Mazelin Forty-one Berne High’s Philharmonic The Berne High School Orchestra is another important branch in our well rounded Department of Music. Its membership consists 01 students who have come up through the Junior Orchestra, having developed their musical talents, thereby qualifying them for membership in the High School Orchestra. Some members come from the lower grades and have given good account of themselves. The rapid development of the membership of our orchestra reflects the character and efficiency of the instructors in our Music Department. The orchestra under the careful handling of Miss Feinberg continued its progress. On the return of Mr. Burkhalter who relieved Miss Feinberg of this responsibility, the orchestra continues in a most promising manner. Considerable effort is being put forth so that experience and training, which come from the playing of varied collections, may be gained. The orchestra, as well as the other music organizations, has appeared in a number of public performances such as the Junior Class Play, High School concerts, and all 1945 and 1946 music activities. The orchestra won first division at the District Orchestra Contest held at Fort Wayne, Indiana, on April 13th, 1946. The orchestra consists of the following: First Violins: Colvin McWhirter Eloise Soldner Marilyn Wiederkehr Flossie Beer Ruth Inniger Merlin Lehman Second Violins: Elaine Gilliom Cynthia Kirchhofer Lena Nussbaum Mary Mae Chrisman Anita Kennel Violas: Margaret Webb Stuart Lehman Rebecca Mazelin Bobby Schindler Cellos: Marilyn Smith Sally Bagley Ardus Beaty String Bass: Arline Balsiger Arlene Habeggcr Percussion: Pauline Michaud Charles McCrory Magdalene Lehman Piano: Paul Lloyd Baumgartner Flutes: Darlene Bowman Marjorie Moser Clarinets: John Zehr Gloria Riesen Oroe: Delora Graber Bassoon: Merlin Lehman French Horns: Robert Burley Carol Sprunger Cornets: Jerry Stucky Billy Stucky Trombones: James Shoemaker Roger Amstutz Richard Hirschv Tuba: Warren Habegger Forty-two Hearts and Blossoms A successful performance of “Hearts and Blossoms. the ccmic operetta in two acts, by Turner and Stults. was given at the Berne Community Auditorium on December 20. 1945. by the members of our A Cappella Choir, under the direction of Miss Arlene Feinberg. This is an up to the minute story of an American family in search of a lost document while trying to enjoy a vacation at a summer hotel. Hearts and Blossoms.” Middle aged, but very good-looking Mrs. Manning. played by Mary Ellen Nussbaum. is a rather an imposing widow who believes in dreams and superstitions. Pretty June Manning (Colvin McWhirter). her eldest daughter, is very dreamy and romantic, which provides her with plenty of excitement. Marie Manning. June’s younger sister, is just as pretty and even more romantic. She is in love with a poor but promising young lawyer. Flossie Beer was quite clever in this part. DeWayne Felber. as Mr. Matthew Brandon, was an old sweetheart of Mrs. Manning and is very absent minded. Merlin Habegger. who played the part of Phillip Brandon, nephew of Matthew Brandon, is a spirited young fellow very much in love with June Manning. This docs not meet with the mother's approval. Jerry Higgins 'Howard Ellenberger is the young but promising lawyer. He is inclined to believe with Mrs. Manning that money is the most important thing in the world—especially when you have it. There was comedy galore with the appearance Of Gloria Riesen as Miss Malindy Snow, the maid, and Samson Bonapart Flickers. the bell-boy. played by Bob Schindler. Miss Malindy is a bell'’ in colored circles but sometimes assumes a lofty air with the adoring but clumsy Samson. Eileen. Betty, Bruce and Bob are summer time visitors at the hotel. These parts were played by Margaret Webb. Pauline Michaud. Fred Stauffer, and Paul Lloyd Baumgartner. The infatuations of the fairer sex plus the com-pications in the search for the document provided entertainment throughout the entire operetta. The musical background was provided by a chorus and instrumental ensemble. Forty-three Forty-Jour Morning Serenades A Cappella Choir Rehearsal Time 7:45 A. M. Our High School A Cappella Choir consists of members from our Training Chorus. The requirement for A Cappella membership is a two-year training period in our Training Chorus. Here again as in many of our otherMusical Departments, tne splendid leadership of Mr. Burkhalter is demonstrated. The success of our A Cappella Choir is best demonstrated by its rendition of various types of music. A wide range of the styles of music is performed by the A Cappella, ranging from early 16th and 17th century sacred as well as secular, then on through the classical and romantic and finally to the semi-classical and modern. The A Cappella Choir gives splendid training and particularly equips for church choirs as well as for community musical organizations, for which the community is outstanding. The A Cappella Choir has participated in a very capable manner in the high school concerts, some church performances, and also the Northern Indiana District Contest where they won first division honors.

Two years of Training Chorus are required in order to become a member of the A Cappella Choir. Membership is open to any high school student, but the chorus is composed mostly of freshman and sophomores. This is an ambitious group of students, for rehearsals are held each Monday and Tuesday morning at 7:45 under the direction of Miss Arlene Feinberg.

Ruth Allspaw, Yvonne Reusser Way back in ’44 it was decided that Berne High needed some organized “Boosters” to support the activities carried on throughout the school year. Thus, a booster club was born that has been going “great guns” ever since. The Boosters” have done a bang-up job of yelling and have made the concession stand a popular place at the ball games. The “Boosters” are mighty proud of the record of the Berne Bears, who for two consecutive years have gone to the final game in the regional at Huntington. This year the “Boosters” were guided by Warren Habegger as President, Stuart Lehmann as Vice President, Marilyn Smith as Secretary, and Elaine Gilliom as Treasurer. Every “Booster has been awarded a pin for his efforts. Nice going, “Boosters.” Keep up the good work! Forty-eight Annual Staff Top Row—Carl Muselman, business manager; E. M. Webb, faculty adviser; Darlene Bowman, associate editor; Stuart Lehmann, editor-in-chief; John Zehr, photo editor; Marjorie Moser, literary reporter; Hugh Sprunger, sports reporter; Yvonne Reusser, class reporter. Bottom Row—Gloria Riesen, circulation manager; Warren Habegger, advertising manager; Pauline Michaud, music reporter; Mary Lou Fox, calendar reporter; Mary Gil-liom, alumni reporter; Delores Sprunger, art editor; Merlin Habegger, joke reporter. Clang, crash, go the typewriters; Oh, shoot—another mistake. “Hurry-up. your copy is due today,’’ roars the Editor.—“Say, where does that Sprunger live that graduated in 1910, shouts the Alumni editor, as she poresover the many hundred Alumni she has to “page.”—Any new pictures today?—Oh, isn’t that cute, it looks just like her.—What head should we give this department?—What’s that you said?—Oh, that’s no good, this is lots better.—What this staff needs is a good camera.—Are all the “ads” in? Yes, the business men came through fine and all our ads are from Berne too. Where is Spurgeon’s picture? Oh. the new one?—We can’t find it. Don’t you think the cover is good looking? “Dubonnet and White” are pretty nice colors. Thus it went in the Annual Staff room when thirteen Seniors labored over picture taking, picture mounting, copy-writing, typing and financing. We hope these weeks of planning and preparation will prove to be a source of pleasure to you as it was to us. Forty-nine Don't Keep Him Waiting” Jeff Ramble Jinny ... Chester Betty Ramble Owen Ramble O’Toole Director James Sprunger Flossie Beer Samuel Sprunger Vera Habegger Stanley Luginbill Roger Beitler Toodles Mr. Atkins Minerva Sally Lou Dave Selina Ramble Beth Centz Bob Burley Alverda Steiner Dorothy Rutledge Max Habegger Margaret Webb Miss Blanche Stone JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The house lights flickered and then went out. An expectant hush swept through the audience, and then—1-2-3—the heavy curtain swung open. . . . Yes, there sat Chester slumped in a chair, enjoying the very idea of being lazy, and oh. there was poor Jeflf. cleaning out the attic. . . . Such was the dramatic opening of Don't Keep Him Waiting.” On through the play. . . . There was Toodles. who was at least trying to help herself by reducing on the milk and banana diet—and even buying a scooter, a pretty red one. But there was Betty too—poor, poor Betty, who slaved by the sweat of her brow to keep the family going. . . . More bills. . . . Selina bought a new hat. . . . Just another bill charged to Betty Ramble. And then, of course, there was Dave, poor long suffering, love-suffering Dave. Love-suffering until, well, until the day Betty precisely said no on going to South America with him. And then was when charming Sally Lou came into the picture. . . . Sally Lou, who seemed to have a tendency to drop her sweetly-scented, lace handcrchiefs. Ummmmmmmm. but it was a lovely sight when Minerva strolled in with that contagious little giggle, and Chester thought so too. In fact he was so thrilled with the whole effect he wondered if it was possible for him to live until Friday night’s date. But Aunt Selina now, she really took the cake: some expert she was in the horoscope business. Why. she could foretell the future of any Tom. Dick, or Harry. . . . And then there was Owen Ramble. What a tingling sensation it was when he had the privilege to speak over the radio. Well, then things began to happen in a rush of events. . . . Betty lost her job. . . . Jeff tried his best for a photographer’s pi ize. . . . Selina, arrayed in curlers, was snapped in an old rocking chair for Jeff's prize picture. . . . Then came the interview with Mr. Atkins, and what an interview! And you know, through it all, things turned a somersault for the best, and at last the heavy cloud turned completely around and the silver lining shone. Instead of going to New York for a job. Betty found Mr. Atkins, the antique dealer, a willing employer. . . . Didn’t Chester find Toodles the opposite of “Infant”? And how about Jeff and Jinny? Jinny, who had always been a perfect pal. was at last recognized for her true worth. Even O'Toole got his money. Yes, things held a little more spice for the Ramble family when the climax was reached, and the heavy curtain swung to before an enthralled audience.

Henry Muselman Irene Graber Mary Lou Fox Mary Gilliom Pauline Michaud Hardboiled McCafferty - Charles Nussbaum Edward Gordon - - Robert Isch Directed by Miss Beth Blue OUR SENIOR CLASS PLAY It all takes place in a sanitarium, a sanitarium for mild, nervous cases. Everything seems to be running along smoothly until suddenly Speedy Marshall barges into the sanitarium in an effort to escape arrest because of speeding. His father, Mr. Marshall, on the board of directors of this place, then precisely sets his foot down and orders him to remain to take a rest cure for his speed mania. You can imagine Speedy's disgust,—he at a sanitarium in the midst of patients. Those patients! There was the patient who was always riding “Kentucky Belle” and the patient who could sing “Oh, Promise Me.” But—here in the sanitarium he finds a former friend cf his. Lois, whom he had met abroad and here she was, entertaining patients! Utterly pleased, he finds it isn't so bad to be a make-believe patient. And then suddenly one day, some jewels are stolen which belong to one of the wealthy patients. Speedy proved himself bv aiding in the search; and by and by he wins Lois’ iove, and everything heads on the right track. The conversation between Pendie and Pluribus, two colored people, and the scenes with the hard-boiled policeman, all helped to bring out full enjoyment of this clever play.

Sixty-one Acknowledgement TO MY STAFF—After six months of watching our annual grow from just ideas to a “Reality ’ we have reached the climax of our effort, the publication of “Our Yesterdays” for 1946. It will serve as a symbol in future years of our last year in Berne High School. It represents many hours of hard but enjoyable work. Your fine spirit of co-operation was all an Editor might desire. Especially to my Associate Editor do I say “Thank You.” Only through the untiring efforts of all the members of the staff could our ideal for an annual be accomplished. I have the very deepest feeling of appreciation for your contributions. It has been a pleasure to work with you and to have learned to know you better.

Of course you can all see why. can’t you? • • Jim Burdge is always asking Miss Blue how many tests we are going to have yet. Then he argues that she told us we wouldn’t have that many. Do you realize that eight of the boys on the first team are seniors? Just you wait and see. you'll really miss our class when we are not here any more. ® 0 Miss Blue will really miss us. Won’t you. Miss Blue? When we get out in this big world and don't know the meaning or how to use some word, it won’t be her fault, cause goodness knows she tried hard enough. • Mary Lou and Mary were separated in English class because they were always talking and they both have ’’such a laugh.
