HIGH SCHOOL aii PM COUNH WJB11C UBRAff AlLE xa aYNE, INDIANA 3 orewor Twelve years ago a new school building was erected to accommodate a rapidly increasing student body. The class of “51” is the first to complete all twelve years in the new building. Thus it is with great honor and pleasure that we, the senior class, do publish this edition of “Our Yesterdays.” By reading this book we will recall many fond and happy memories of our school days. It is our earnest desire that you, too, will be able to do so. This desire being accomplished, the many toilsome hours of hard labor spent publishing this book will be considered nothing but a pleasant way of spreading happiness. 2191801 We, the seniors of 1951 of Berne-French High School, wish to take this space to express our gratitude, respect, and appreciation to MISS CAROLINE I. HIRSCIIY for her faithful service to our school as principal and teacher. Her high ideals and standards of leadership, while being principal, were of untold value. Her kindness and helpfulness to our class will long be remembered. It gives us great pleasure to dedicate this book as a token of our thanks.

If in doubt, ask Jack “The” Master at the Controls No Sale A Real Sport 'IU Wad3 In the fall of ’47, twenty-seven proud Freshmen entered Berne-French High School. We elected four capable officers to guide us through the first year—Charles Nagel as president; Robert Gilliom as vice-president; Roderick Liech-ty as secretary, and George Balsiger as treasurer. The boys overruled that election. Could it be because more than one-half of our class were boys? We had two enjoyable parties, one in the school gym and also a skating party. One more important event was the initiation that was given to us by the seniors. It was one we never will forget. As we became Sophomores, we welcomed some new members into our class. We chose for president: Millard Moser; vice-president: Kenneth Isch; secretary, Janean Sprunger; and treasurer: Jack Nussbaum. We had a very nice class party in the gym of our school. Almost There! Only one step from the top—We’re Juniors! For our class officers, we chose Jack Nussbaum as president, Kenneth Isch as vice president, Janean Sprunger as secretary, and Nancy Lehman as treasurer. On February 3, we presented our Junior Class play, ‘‘Meet Me In Saint Louis,” under the direction of Miss Blanche Stone. We had a full auditorium which proves that it was a great success. On May 12, we played host to the seniors at the Junior-Senior Reception which took place in the Berne-French High School. Finally, we entered the home-stretch and the long awaited time when we could call ourselves “Seniors.” We elected the following class officers: Jack Nussbaum, president; Kenneth Isch, vice-president; Janean Sprunger, secretary; and Carolyn Bixler, treasurer. As we became Seniors we gained a new Principal. At first we thought that he would be “tough,” but we found that he is really a pretty nice “guy.” We presented our Senior Class play on April 20. “Clementine” was the title and being under the direction of Miss Blue was a big hit. Our class colors are light and Hunter dark green. Outclass flower is the yellow rose. For our class motto we have chosen “Don’t itch for success, scratch for it.” We have decided to go to Chicago, 111., for our class trip. We wish to express our gratitude to all of the teachers for their patience and kindness. We sincerely regret leaving all of our friends and most of all, good old Berne-French High!

Jast Witt anil Oe .stcunenl We, the Senior Class of the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-one, knowing we must leave all you dear teachers and fellow students behind, do make, in our departing sorrow, this last will and testament and do hereby appoint Donald Neuen, President of the Junior Class, to be the sole executor of this, our last will and testament. To our dear deserving teachers, we give our advice to be lenient on the students this next year as they are in dire need of a rest from the great enduring hardships from this past year. To the juniors, we will the right to go into the canteen at all times and eat up the profits. To the sophomores, we give the advice to make smaller paper wads, chew gum with less noise, whisper quieter, and do nothing which might antagonize the teachers.

I, Nancy Lehman, will my love for soft, dreamy, romantic music to Marilyn Habegger who has already earned this bequest. I, Roderick Liechty, will my love for baseball to anyone who ever missed a curve. I. Romayne Litwiller, leave part of my shyness to Gloria Timmons in hopes that she will be able to use it????!! I, Millard Moser, will my chartreuse car?? minus the steering wheel, brakes, clutch, gears, and fenders, to “Big Shot” who doesn’t use these parts anyway. I, Charles Nagel, will my ability to sleep in Mr. Hedges’ civics class to anyone who is lucky enough to do so. I. Jack Nussbaum. bestow my luck in being allergic to girls to Keith Reinhard. I.

(Signed) Nancy Lehman Mary Mae Chrisman enior (L(ci$S Brussels, Belgium June 17, 1966 Dear Nancy, It’s been a long time since I last wrote to you. I’ve been traveling quite a bit since I have become affiliated with the European Y. F. C. We were talking about our classmates in my last letter to you and since that time I’ve seen quite a few of them. I saw CHARLES in Switzerland visiting his relatives. I’ve heard that he met a Swiss miss and they are now raising—flowers??! When I was in Paris last week I saw RODERICK at the Louvre. He was attending the unveiling of his latest painting, “Madam in the Pool.” I saw a RIESEN mobile while I was there and it was very nice. TOM and his blonde are on easy street since they say this car costs over $5,000. Speaking of cars, I had BILL STUCKY send me a Chevrolet last month. He is doing quite well in his business. He has five daughters now—Charlene, Arlene, Darlene, Marlene, and Minnv-Imogene. At the Brussels airport I saw ROMAYNE and RUTH ANN on their way to the mission field as nurses. They said that JOE graduated from Bob Jones and he and his wife are going to South America as missionaries. Say, how are MARY JANE and her two sets of twins coming along? With that start they won’t have to hire any help for their 600-acre farm! By the way, are you still working as a dental hygienist in DR. HEDGES' office? I looked up our friend MARLENE in Paris. She is known as Mademoiselle Marlene now and is a registered Masseuse. She told me she had a letter from ARLENE and the Beckers are getting along quite prosperously with their silver fox farm. The other day at the airport I happened to see a copy of a Norway newspaper and I saw that GEORGE BALSIGER from the states is entering the Olympics for high jumping. He always was a high-stepper, or was that an acquaintance of his? JACK NUSSBAUM had his Wheaton College choir touring Belgium and France and he stopped at our church and gave a concert in the evening. LENA and DeWayne came with Jack and they were on their way to Germany to sing in the Berlin Concert Hall. I’ll have to close now. I'll be waiting anxiously for your letter to hear about the rest of all our classmates. Bye-now. As ever. Mary Mae Eighteen Long Island City July 22, 1966 Dear Mary Mae, It certainly was nice to hear from you once again. I hadn’t known that so many of our classmates were abroad. One sort of loses track of them after so long a time. You might see JOHN and Norma in Paris. They are on vacation now and I believe John is trying to interest a big executive there to start a branch of Dunbar Furniture. ROGER is owner of the “Tidey Didey” Laundry in Fort Wayne. Isn’t that just like Roger? SHIRLEY is still working for Lehman. Lehman, Lehman, and Lehman, Inc. You know she always was a neat typist. Remember how she used to be able to type without errors any time she wished in Mr. Renner’s class and how peeved we used to get because it always gave the rest of the class lower grades? On Easter Sunday REV. EDWARD AMSTUTZ of the Park Avenue Presbyterian Church was the guest speaker at our church. He certainly has a big congregation there. The doctor and I were certainly surprised the other day when PROFESSOR RICHARD ALLSPAW came walking into the office. He is now head professor of anthropology at New York University. He told us that BILL SIPE has invented a sure cure for talking women. The name of it is Sipacilieidi Solicitate and is guaranteed to either kill or cure. Probably kill, if we know Bill! The Professor also said that BOB. MILLARD, and KENYON are owners of the “Gute Knaben” Body Trucking Company down in Berne. They make everything from cars, trucks, to kiddie cars. ARDUS JEAN is the head therapist at one of San Francisco’s newest hospitals. She has discovered a new treatment that is called the Sister Ardus Gallbladerium used for massaging aching gall bladders. KENNY ISCH is a Certified Public Accountant now working down in Washington, D. C. He checks the books of our government and seems to like his job very well. You know he always did like bookkeeping! VIRGIL has formed a new club by the name of the Push-Pull Club near the area of Berne. It is restricted to professional accordionists alone. GODFREY has a farm which the research chemists use for experimental hybrid corn planting. I hear he makes quite a profit on this. CAROLYN and ANITA have been taken in as members of the Mother’s Club. They won the contest for the most number of offspring. Have you heard about JANEAN? She has now married a wealthy doctor whom she met during her nursing career. I hear they fell in love over an appendectomy. I’ll stop now as I’ve got an appointment in about five minutes. Come in and see us at our Long Island City home when you get back, and we’ll talk more about all our classmates. Your friend, Nancy Anne Nineteen C cin Ljou muaine ? The annual staff of Our Yesterdays 1951 has decided to write a new page in the annual this year. We hope you will enjoy reading this page as much as the other features in this book. Can you imagine Richard Allspaw dating every night? Can you imagine Edward Amstutz being rough and rowdy? Can you imagine Marlene Amstutz without Arlene? Can you imagine Arlene Balsiger not having an engagement — an accordion one, that is? Can you imagine George Balsiger taking twirling lessons? Can you imagine Godfrey Bertsch talented on the tuba? Can you imagine Ardus Jean Beaty being a school marm? Can you imagine Carolyn Bixler not liking Pontiacs? Especially grey ones? Can you imagine Mary Mae Chrisman failing her classes? Can you imagine Mary Jane Fiechter being quiet natured? Can you imagine Shirley Flueckiger teasing Mr. Hedges instead of visa-versa as always is the case? Can you imagine Robert Gilliom studying when he's supposed to instead of drawing? Can you imagine James Hedges without his vast knowledge of the social sciences? I wonder why. Can you imagine Roger Hirschy saying the right things at the right time? Can you imagine Kenneth Isch liking bookkeeping? Can you imagine Anita Kennel being able to keep her mind on her studies instead of down at the Chevrolet Garage? Can you imagine Joe Lehman basking at Miami Beach? Can you imagine Nancy Lehman living in a house without hedges around it? Can you imagine Roderick Liechty liking a rose instead of a Daisy? Can you imagine Romayne Litwiller enjoying herself in physics with an all-boy class? Can you imagine Millard Moser in knickers and long stockings? Can you imagine Charles Nagel being early to class? Can you imagine Jack Nussbaum not being the most all ’round student in school? Can you imagine Lena Nussbaum not emptying stationery boxes? Can you imagine John Parr without curly hair—not a permanent either, as you might guess? Can you imagine Tom Riesen willing to write themes for Miss Blue? Can you imagine Bill Sipe being tame and dull? Can you imagine Janean Sprunger not reading a book? Can you imagine Kenyon Sprunger alone? Without the boys, that is. Can you imagine Virgil Strahm telling a joke? Can you imagine Billie Stucky willing to drive a Plymouth? Can you imagine Ruth Welty not being her natural sweet self? Can you imagine Mr. Spurgeon betting orange pop instead of coke? Can you imagine Mr. Renner going on a diet? Can you imagine Miss Blue’s senior English class not arguing and winning as usually is the case? Can you imagine Miss Stone not blushing? Can you imagine Miss Hirschy without her quiet sense of humor? Can you imagine Mr. Burkhalter having plenty of leisure time? Can you imagine Dannv Liechty and Arne Liechty singing wholeheartedly in A Cap-pella? Can you imagine Ardena Hirschy working multiplication problems for Mr. Hedges just for the fun of it? Can you imagine Jerry Zerkel, Jimmy Gerber, and Roger Strahm studying in study hall, or any class, for that matter? Twenty CLASSES SImliti on J -A- on tors In September of ‘50 Berne-French High School received a new class of forty-five eager Juniors. We chose the following class officers: Don Neuen as president. Paul Sprunger as vice president. Carolyn Smith as secretary, and Daisy Heller as treasurer. We presented our class play. Cheaper by the Dozen' on February 13. We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Blanche Stone for her wonderful direction. In May we played host to the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Reception.

Thirty-three 2101801 Basketball Baseball Track 1950-51 d usLelLuff Jeam JACK NUUSBAUM—a senior, was the most versatile player on the team. He played at both the guard and forward positions and filled in sometimes at the for most of the defensive rebounds, and a playmaker and got his share of points usually on push shots from the side.—N. S. GEORGE BALSIGER—a senior, played the center position and was reponsible for most of ths defensive rebounds. George was a good defensive player and a fine team player. His fight and determination was inspiring to his teammates.—N. S. ROGER HIRSCHY—a senior, had an excellent left handed push shot around the foul circle. Roger was an aggressive defensive player and reliable on the bankboards. His shiftness made it possible for him to get his shots away.— N. S. JOHN PARR—a senior, was the best jumper on the team. His offensive rebounding and speed was a great help to the team on both offense and defense. John scored most of his points in close to the basket on jump shots or drive-ins.—N. S. RODERICK LIECHTY—a senior, was a valuable reserve because he could play at all the positions if needed. He had a good push shot from outside the foul circle. “Rod” was always anxious to improve and worked diligently.—N. S. PAUL SPRUNGER—a junior, was probably the hardest worker and fighter on the team. He developed into an out- standing dribbler and ball handler by the end of the season. He favored a one-handed shot outside the foul circle. —N. S. JUNIOR BERTSCH—a junior, was most valuable to the team as a substitute when more height was needed. Junior was a hard worker and a good defensive player. His lack of experience was his chief handicap.—N. S. JERRY SPRUNGER—a sophomore, was a good ball handler. His fakes and drive-in shots were hard to stop. Jerry’s speed and his ability to dribble discouraged most opponents from rushing in the back court.—N. S. MAX LEHMAN—a sophomore, did not see much varsity action, but he is an aggressive and harding working player. He has a good two-handed set shot.— N. S. STUART MILLER—a freshman, has a lot of natural ability and could hit well. He is a good team player as well as a good scorer and passer.—N. S. PHILIP KAEHR—a junior, because of doctor’s orders played only a few games this year. Phil could hit well and had a strong, fighting spirit which added pep to the team when he was inserted into the lineup.—N. S. JOHN STUCKY—a sophomore served faithfully and successfully as student manager this year. He is liked by all whom he serves, and has earned the good will of both coach and players.— N. S.

Despite his high school age daughters’ interest in boys and dates, he pushed ahead with better organization. The girls wanted to be popular and wear the kind of clothes other girls were wearing, but dad thought it was all a waste of time. Ann had to have a brother along on every date and all the children had to take tests in order that they might jump a grade ahead in school or graduate before the rest of the class. Dad’s greatest satisfaction was getting the children all assembled in record time whenever he whistled. This he was proud of. Although his family didn’t know it, dad had a bad heart and was only trying to teach them efficiency so that when he was gone their mother wouldn’t have to work so hard. By the time, however, he left for Europe to speak at a convention, his family was well organized and they then knew the reason for all his hard work.

She would much rather play football than go to a party or have a date. She would never think of taking elocution lessons or getting her hair curled—that is, until her best pal Hank is taken away by Cathy. Then things begin to happen. She comes to realize that boys are an important matter and although she won't admit it, she has fallen in love with Hank. Old Miss Pringle thinks Clem is nothing but an undisciplined little barbarian and that her father should never be re-elected for mayor. Clem convinces her finally that her father is a very good mayor and Miss Pringle decides to get her Women Voters League to vote for him. Hank also realized that he likes Clem and, thanks to her, her father is sure of his re-election. Senior Play Cast Clementine Kelly, a tomboy - - - - Mary Kelley, her mother.......................
