Enrollment, then new classes, new faces, that between period dash, armloads of books, homework, worried expressions — classes had really begun in earnest .... Supported by cheering students, sports started immediately. The Optimist informed us of current school news, while life at B. H. S. was further spiced with the pro- duction of plays and convos .... Carol sing- ling and tree decorating ushered in the Yuletide season, but this holiday passed all too quickly ' — ■ facing us were those dreaded semester finals and then a brief period for mid-term relaxation. This year B. H. S. acted as host for the State Wrestling Meet, as well as the Regional and Semi-Final basket- ball tournaments .... Spring Introduced melancholy day-dreaming, catching students longing for the out-of-doors. The days rushed by leaving in their wake the completion of final exams, the close of a successful athletic season, the Junior Prom, and hlonor Day. The graduating seniors now present a revue of B. H.

Under the twinkling stars, Roger Miller and Jane Copeland reigned as king and queen over the Stardust Promen- ade. A crescent moon beamed with benevolence upon the couples as they danced to the strains of favorite melodies. The traditional Grand March pro- vided the perfect ending for a perfect evening.

I first began to realize how much we all owe our teachers — how much they sacrifice for us. . H. E, BINFORD Superintendent D. L. SIMON Princijial Administration F. L. TEMPLETON Assistant Principal Many problems of both students and faculty are solved daily by our capable administrators .... Mr. Binford efficiently executes his many duties as Superintendent of City Schools. As chief administrator, he budgets the school ' s finances and selects the faculty members . . . Dr. Simon, our principal, plans the curriculum in order that each student may be able to choose a more varied and timely program of studies. Veterans appreciate his willingness to cooperate with them while finishing their high school education .... To everyone at B.H.S. the friendly phrase, Announcements for today, and a happy smile are associated with Mr. Templeton, our assistant principal. School Executives Discuss Current Problems BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES Fi-ank Southern President Edgar O ' Harrow - Secretary David Wylie - - - - Tieasurer Ida Fleener Secretary to Superin- tendent and Board The decisions of the Board of School Trustees determine the policies in Bloomington High School, and progress is furthered by the attitude of the members. These competent executives provide better instructional means and improve- ments for our school. The board is composed of three civic-minded citizens who give generously of their time and effort for the good of the school and the students. Mr. Southern, prominent local banker, is now serving the last year on his second term. Mr. Wylie is well known in our community due to his association with the limestone business. He is completing his seventh year as a board mem- ber. Mr. O ' Harrow, owner of a local pharmacy, acts as another efficient member of this board and is now serving his second term. Miss Fleener is clerk for both Mr. Binford and the Board of School Trustees.. FRANK SOUTHERN EDGAR A. O ' HARROW DAVID G. WYLIE IDA E.

The Faculty There were many additions and replacements on the B. H. S. faculty this past year .... Miss Schwend and Mr. Avery resumed their duties after serving in the armed forces . . . We were very fortunate this year in having the opportu- nity to study world history and British life and institutions with Miss Camp, ex- change teacher from England. Miss Brengle, B.H.S. social studies teacher, in turn, taught this year at Slough, Buckinghamshire, England. This is the first time we have had the benefit of this better-feeling-through-better-under- standing plan . . . New faculty members included: Miss Atkinson, office clerk; Mr. Babb, business; Mrs. Barnhill, English; Mr. Brekken, industrial arts; Mrs. Engle, mathematics; Miss Green, social studies; Mrs. Hudson, speech and hear- ing therapy; Mr. Huff, assistant coach and health and safety; Mr. Jarboe, Bible study; Miss Koehler, Spanish; Mrs. Shakes, girls ' physical education; Mr. Carl Stewart, mathematics; Mr. Harold Stewart, science; and Mr. Thayer, social studies . . . Our teachers have offered their services to us so that we might have a stronger foundation upon which to build our futures. CUSTODIANS Row 1— Mr. John Frye, Mrs. Bertha Hancock, Mrs. Achsah Clay.

CAFETERIA STAFF Mrs. Tressie Retzlaff, Mrs. Goldie Adams, Mrs. C. Breeden Gatts, Mrs. Laura Raper. Cafeteria and Custodial Staffs Under the management of Miss Guymon, the cafeteria staff prepares and serves lunches to an average of 300 students daily. Although food scarcities are still noticeable, the staff continues to give us the best of foods at a comparatively lovi- cost. And what school could function without the care given to it by the custodial staff? In keeping B. H. S. in condition, they perform many varied duties. Through their constant hard work, our campus remains one of the nicest in the state. Dons The Robes Of The O fwow Got my cap and gown today. Just a week till Commencement. After four long years of prep- aration, I am ready for my diploma. It was a strenuous but interesting climb to graduation. QuX, Don Blottie President Colleen Allen -------------- Secretary Miss Rector -- Gothic Advisor Mrs. Krueger ---- Senior Sponsor Virginia Marxson ---------- Vice President Anna Ritter -------- Gothic Business Manager Peggy Fowler ------------- Treasurer Howard Dess ------------ Gothic Editor CLASS OF 194 7 As freshmen from all corners of Monroe County, we looked upon the Seniors of ' 44 with envy and wistfulness. Would we ever attain that pinnacle of poise and distinction? Has the beginning class of ' 51 looked upon us with the same thought? If so, we hope by this brief history to show them that we are worthy of their esteem While not organized for the first three years, mem- bers of the class distinguished themselves in athletics, dramatics, and scholastics. After a heated campaign, we elected our capable officers to serve us during the last year of our high school career. The Gothic Staff was chosen, and its mem- bers worked throughout the year to present this book to you . . . The Stardust Promenade was successfully given for the departing class of ' 46. As we danced un- der the twinkling stars, all pronounced it a ne ' er to be forgotten event . . . The first dramatic production, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, was a three act comedy which was well received by the audience. Beyond the Horizon, our second play was of a more serious nature. Both these plays netted good results in experience and finance .... The final thrill came with the closing week. At last we were qualified to wear the cap and gown. With this cloak of dignity we went through the ceremonies of Class Day. At the Baccalaureate we heard our farewell sermon. Commencement night at last ' — ■ a time to which we had looked forward with mingled feelings of expectancy and dread. Now as graduates of B. H. S. we go out into the future with these years to help in guiding our destiny.

The NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY considers candidates for membership on the basis of their accomplishments in four basic realms of school life: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Elected by the faculty, members must rank high in their class. Entrance to this society may be considered the cap-stone of a well-rounded scholastic career To qualify as a member of the NATIONAL THESPIAN DRAMATIC HONOR SOCIETY, a student must have created an excellent record in the field of dramatics. Prerequisite for membership is the participation in two three-act plays and three one-act plays or their equivalent. For the high school dramatist, membership to the Thespians constitutes one of the highest honors he can receive QUILL AND SCROLL is the honorary for high school journalists. Admission to this organization is open to junior and senior members of the Optimist and Gothic staffs who have done superior work in editing, writing, or business managing, and who are in the upper third of their class Con- gratulations to all students who have put forth the necessary effort to attain these honors.

In accordance with the spirit of improvement which ushered in the pro- gram for more individual expression, the council composed and adopted a new con- stitution. Two more council firsts were the keeping of a scrapbook on the group ' s ac- tivities and the meeting of the executive committee at regular intervals instead of on call. In addition, the council staged a clean-up campaign. Announcements, Optimist captions, and a paper-off-the- floor jingle contest publicized the project. The fight against infantile paralysis was also wholeheartedly backed through stu- dent contributions to the March-of-Dimes. Wishing to learn of progress made, and of nev fields explored by other similar organi- zations, the group joined the National Association of Student Councils. However, the old was not entirely abandoned for the new, since many established customs were continued. In the realm of charity, a council sponsored clothing drive was a de- ciding factor in providing a truly merry Christmas for a poverty-stricken family. Furthermore, an unfortunate war orphan was aided. A French girl, Simone Bom- bard, was the one chosen to be helped by the council this year. Also continued were those after-game dances which helped Panther fans celebrate athletic victories (or forget losses!). At these dances, an- other Student Council project was success- fully carried on, that of collecting funds for the fight against cancer. In the anti- tuberculosis crusade, the sale of T. B. bangles netted the highest sum of money ever donated in B.H.S. for this purpose. Other activities included giving the Optimist $50 for its photographic needs and sponsoring the sale of saving stamps.

Books are laid aside vv ' hen ihe Vptimist, a bi-weekly, is distributed. Delivered on Fridays, it comes to students without charge, as it is financed through home room fees, ads, and Student Council contributions. A student must have twelve inches of his material printed and must submit copy for each Opti7nist to qualify as a reporter. Between issues neither editors nor reporters ever seem to stop working — facts must be gathered, stories tracked down — there ' s a paper to put out! Deadline day is confusion day. Last minute stories are frantically written. Rewrite this! Where are the head- hnes? Check that! With the aid of the faculty advisor, Mrs. Barnhill, who shares both vhe work and worries of the staff, the paper is further checked. It is then ready for printing, under the direction of the business manager, Mr. Stradling. Not a time for rest yet, the staff immediately turns to its plans for the succeeding issue.

Mix well with two heaping semesters of hard work and put into the presses. The finished product should be served while still hot. In following this recipe, the staff divided into layout, copy, and business divisions. The layout section was responsible for carrying out the plans for each page. Long hours were spent cutting, fitting, and pasting pictures according to these plans. The art editor created the Gothic mascot, Perky, and the snapshot committee provided further adornment with varied photos of school life. The copy staff, with flying pencils and rooms-full of paper, frantically wrote and re- wrote article after article. The typists were also kept busy typing the finished copy for proof reading. Holding the Gothic purse strings and controlling all finances, the business staff ' s main worries were collecting ads and managing the yearbook sales campaign. But teamwork was the watchword! Regardless of committees and divisions there were always those members willing to work night and day until the Gothic was completed. Row 1 — Tommy Ramon, Truman McNeely.

At the formal initiation more members were admitted to the club than at any previous time during the past decade. The social event of the year was a party with the Junior Girl Reserves. Among other activities, the club sent gifts to a troop of French boy scouts and carried on a letter exchange with them. Freshman -Sophomore Hi-Y Self-improvement through clean living, clean scholarship, clean sports, and clean speech, is the main goal toward which this branch of the Y.M.C.A. strives. A dance with the Silver Tri girls, the annual Father-Son banquet, a basketball party, and numerous guest speakers were the highlights of the year for this or- ganization.

Junior -Senior Hi- Y To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, has long been the purpose of the Hi-Y. Mem- bership is open to any interested junior or senior boy. Programs consisted mainly of guest speakers, and during the year this club was also host to the 10th district meeting. The Federation supervises the three divisions of the Hi-Y and is responsible for managing the refreshment concession at our basketball games.

Junior Girl Reserves The Junior Girl Reserves offers to the seventh and eighth grade girls opportunities for development of leadership, character, and new friendships. A candlelight initiation for new members provided an inspiring start towards fulfilling the ideals of this branch of the Y.W.C.A. The club also had its lighter moments. The annual talent review, in which many of the girls participated, furnished fun and entertainment for all. Later, a style show previewed the latest fashions for the Junior Miss. The social highlights of the year included parties with the Torch Club and Blue Tri. Special programs presented timely thoughts for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter holidays. Silver Triangle The Silver Tri, a high school branch of the Y.W.C.A., is composed of freshmen and sophomore girls. The work of the Silver Tri tends to widen the interests, enjoyments, and knowledge of the girls through the club motto, To find and give the best. Among the various activities throughout the year, an Ask-It-Basket quiz program gave each girl a chance to receive an answer to such problems as dates, personal appearance, manners, and other questions which puzzle a teen-ager. The freshmen girls of the organization dramatized the story, The First Fir Tree, for a Christmas program. One of the important events of the social season was the annual party with the Freshman-Sophomore Hi-Y. A coronation ceremony enthroned a king and queen for the evening. Officers were Sue Wootan, president; Sue Ann Harrell, vice president; Janet Terrell, secretary ; Elizabeth White, treasurer. The sponsors were Miss Caplinger and Miss McAninch.

Blue Triangle The Blue Triangle opened its activities this year with a potluck and White Elephant sale followed by a formal initiation. Guest night, which consisted of .i formal tea, a program by the club chorus, and the presentation of Blue Tri rings to girls of outstanding leadership, gave parents and faculty a glimpse of the club ' s activities. The chorus also gave impressive services at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Regular meetings had on the serious side a panel discussion, a club project, and numerous speakers. A talent show and a fashion parade provided entertainment of a lighter nature. The service committee managed the ever popular candy table in the front hall. Proceeds from the sales provided the money for one semester ' s tuition to Indiana University. This scholarship is awarded annually to a worthy Blue Tri senior.

Learning by doing, club members worked fifteen hours a week in local stores. Among the first of its kind in the state, the club recruits its members from the newly formed distributive education class. Commercial Club Work and play both had a part in the Commercial Club. Meeting com- munity business leaders and following a program of social activities were the main purposes of the organization. Every other meeting was a fun meeting at which time there was group singing, entertaining movies, or games. A Christmas party climaxed the social events of the year. On the serious side, there were numerous visiting speakers and educational films. The club heard a guest speaker from R.C.A. and later was instructed in parliamentary procedure. Speakers from Indiana University rounded out the schedule. COMMERCIAL CLUB Row 1 — Robert Smith, Juanita Griner, Jean Golden. Lucille Smith, Martha Jones, Rhea Dawn Bailey, Mary Walden.

What ' s this? — just a few of the scientists whose accomplishments were discussed at N.S.H.S. meetings. Scientists and their experiments were only a part of the club ' s programs. Also included were field trips, social events, and scientific movies. The annual initiation for new members was combined with a potluck this year. The initiates were admitted upon writing scientific manuscripts which underwent examination by the club ' s membership committee. Another require- ment for entrance into this organization is the willingness of the members lo carry out the club ' s purpose — the advancement of knowledge and furthering of interest in science. With this aim in mind, the late Mr. M. M. Williams organized the club some fifteen years ago as a chapter of the Indiana Junior Academy of Science. The officers were Howard Dess, president ; Maxine Jones, vice president : Alberta Kelly, secretary; Pete Tzouanakis, treasurer; Mr. Harold Stewart, sponsor. Spanish Club Row 1— Ellen E:iton.

Greetings from the Spanish Club, Though formed only last year, this organization seemed to grow up overnight. The club became so large that it divided into two sections, groups A and B. Group A is made up of members who are taking one year of Spanish while group B consists of those who have had one year of the language. Each division had various programs. There were movies about, the arts and crafts of Mexico and song fests in Spanish. Dr. Rey, from Indiana University, spoke on Mexican and South American culture. A club pin with the inscription, El Club Espanol, was ordered. Officers for group A were Richard Lyon, president; Sue Ann Harrell, vice president; Betty Owen, secretary; Bob Swango, treasurer. Officers for group B were Virginia Marxson, president; Carolyn Reynolds, vice president; Janet Terrell, secretary. Miss Koehler is the sponsor. Row 1 — Vivian Kanltz, Betty Bauer. Imogene Calvert.

In addition to answering endless reference questions, preparing displays, and managing the senior high library, the staff entered the field of radio this year. The members staged the first city-wide radio program ever produced by our library division. Another important event was the annual Book- Week tea, held in honor of a group of visiting superintendents. Future Farmers of America Farm youths — a major American crop, contends the Future Farmers of America. By nurturing this crop on such principles as agricultural leadership, cooperation, and citizenship, the F.F.A. hopes for a harvest of well-informed farmers. Club members, in addition to managing individual projects, have currently fostered a cooperative attempt to increase the number of pure-bred hogs in Monroe County. The F.F.A. met with similar organizations from other cities at the initiation of Chapter Farmers at Plainfield, Indiana. The local club was well represented at the state convention in April.

The Student Photographers have completed another picture for publication in the Gothic or Oiptimist. Upon request from teachers or club sponsors, the Student Photographers also take pictures of individuals, classroom events, and other group activities. These are available to all students and teachers at a low cost. To gain membership in this organization, a student must be interested in photography and be recommended by his teachers. Projectors Club B - U - S - Y describes the Projectors Club. Films, projectors, and screens are the stock-in-trade of the club, for this is the one which handles the showing of all movies at B.H.S. An engrossing task, it provides club members with little opportunity for rest. Films every period of the day is a normal schedule, and a newly installed program even juggles in a few for the entertainment of noon hour lunchers. As a part of the visual aid program this organization attempts to supplement classroom work and to add eye-appeal to education. Row 1 — Mr. Whaley. Winfred Wampler.

Other topics included the Palestine question, China, current affairs in the United States and in Great Britain. In connection with the study of the British Empire, the group received some first hand information about living conditions and problems facing post-war England. Giving the British point of view was Miss Camp, exchange teacher from Slough, England. During her two semester stay in Indiana, Miss Camp was co-sponsor of the International Relations Club. The members chose as a project, to increase their knowledge of the United Nations. To carry out this plan, several meetings were devoted to informing the group on the various phases of the U. N. The officers were Anna Ritter, president ; Jane Copeland, vice presi- dent; Ruby Davis, secretary-treasurer; Miss Ferger and Miss Camp, sponsors. Public Address Operators Kenneth Owens. Bill Stlckels. k -a ' V,. 1 r ik J-1 ;s;i Good things come in small packages — for evidence of this, glance at the service record of the Public Address Operators. Al- though it is our school ' s smallest club, it per- forms one of the most important services. Under the guidance of the club sponsor, Mr. Van Horn, the members set up the P. A. sys- tem at pep sessions, dances, convos, and other similar functions. In fact, it can be said that wherever you find a loudspeaker you will find the P. A. Staff. Senior High Chorus Singing was heard in the distance. A familiar Yuletide air filled the hall. The Senior High Chorus once more was following the tradition of caroling vhe classrooms at Christmas time. Aside from furnishing listening enjoyment during the holiday season, the chorus presented many types of musical programs. Under the direction of Miss Schwend. the group furnished the musical background for a Thanksgiving convo, sang for a local civic organization, and contributed appropri- ate music for the Baccalaureate. Recognition came to the chorus in the form of an invitation to the Fall Festival at Tech of Indianapolis. The B.H.S. chorus Was one of the few choruses in the state to be so honored.

Playing at all home football and basketball games, the band also performed at one out-of-town game. For Armistice Day, the music-makers participated in a community program and also played for the Memorial Day Service. The band, under the direction of Mr. Frye, further displayed its musical skill in the winter and spring concerts. During the summer months, the band presents a public concert series. The orchestra, also under Mr. Frye ' s direction, provided the music for the night performances of all three-act plays and par- ticipated with the band in several concerts. The orchestra, on another occasion provided a tuneful evening for patrons of the P.T.A. and near the end of the school year played at the Baccalaureate Service. A few orchestra members formed a string ensemble which performed on numerous programs. Social affairs of the year for both band and orchestra included parties and a spring picnic.

Basketball, speedball, baseball, and many varied sports are offered by the G.A.A. Those who have earned one hundred points by participating in after school events are classified as active members. The girls who have fulfilled the neces- sary requirements for each honor are awarded chevrons, class numerals, school letters, and the highest of all — sweaters. The Girl Ushers are chosen from the junior and senior members of the Girls ' Athletic As- sociation. The ushers show spectators to their reserved seats at all home basketball games and tournaments. Fight ' em team, fight ' em ! Fight ' em team, fight ' em! yell the enthusiastic fans as they back their team. School spirit is kept at the proper level during all athletic events through the efforts of the yell leaders. Apprentice cheer leaders prepare to conduct yells at varsity games by taking turns at leading yells for the Panther cub games. Seen most often in the forefront of the crowds, channelling enthusiasm into appropriate yells, are the four main yell leaders. Besides appearing in the role of megaphone artists, the girls also help Mrs. Shakes, the new sponsor, train future cheer leaders. YELL LEADERS Sue Ann Harrell.

Last minute instructions from the director, a rush for the hand props, and the curtain rises. Proscenium Players, with potential Broadway stars in their midst, followed this procedure before every production. The high school dramatists presented as major productions two three-act plays for the enjoyment of both students and public. Several one-act plays were produced primarily for the experience and enter- tainment of club members. At regular meetings, programs consisting of demonstrations in cos- tuming, make-up, and stagecraft provided inter- esting instruction. Talent programs furnished members with further opportunities to gain skill, ease, and poise before the footlights. During other meetings, several former members of the club told of their personal experiences in the field of dramatics. At a guest night program, several one-act plays were given for the pleasure of the community. The group also published a year- book, Stage Call, which gave a summary of Proscenium plays and activities. The officers for the year were Dean Galloway, president; Bob Hennon, vice president; Dotti McConville, secre- tary; LaMar Gaston, treasurer. The sponsor is Mr. Van Horn. Studio -Theatre Guild V.B.H.S.— The Voice of Bloomington High School. This station identification strikes a familiar note with all Studio-Theatre Guild mem- bers, whose main function is to participate in several of the local broadcasts. At many of their meetings they discussed the different technical aspects of radio and broadcasting. Membership requirement for this club, which was organized only two years ago, is one semester of radio speech with a grade of B or better. However, under special conditions, one may become an apprentice. All aspiring students must be ap- proved by two-thirds of the regular members. Technical Staff Have you seen the hard-working, paint- spattered students carrying flats and props from the basement to the stage? If you haven ' t, you have missed the Technical Staff in action. Us- ually seen after school, evenings, and on Satur- days, this crew is the backbone of all school plays. For each production a stage manager was appointed to head all crews. Supervised by Mr. Van Horn, the staff not only set up the scenery for plays, but it was also responoible for hand- ling the technical phases of the various other programs which were produced on the stage.

UT- • Jww Goes All-out For Went to the game tonight. Wished the boys luclt, though they really didn ' t need it. They practiced long and hard until their team work was especially good. P.S. We won! gju Jolin Brogneaux Edward Cuddy Laverne Burns Fred Huff Faculty Manager Football Coaches COACH BROGNEAUX, head men- tor of our 1946 squad, graduated from Ball State. There he won two letters in football and became All State tackle. After graduating, he played semi-pro football and began his coaching career. COACH BURNS, a Butler gradu- ate, joined our staff in 1944. Winning three letters in high school football and freshmen numerals at Purdue, his career as a football player was suddenly cut short by a spinal injury COACH CUDDY graduated from Franklin Col- lege where he won two letters in college football even though football was not played at the high school he attended. COACH HUFF, our new assistant football coach, won three letters in foot- ball at B.H.S. and two at I.U. He re- ceived the Big Ten Medal for scholarship and athletics. Did you ever stop to think what Mr. Stradling does for our sports department? It is he who manages athletic finances, ar- ranges details for our traveling teams, as well as supervising all tournaments at which B.H.S. acts as host. J. W. Stradling Football Season We want a touchdown! We want a touch- down! This was a familiar cry of B.H.S. foot- ball fans during the 1946 gridiron season. The opening game against the Huntingburg Happy Hunters ended victoriously for the Panthers with a score of 26-0. This was more than a victory over Huntingburg; it was a victory over a change from a double wing and box formation to the T in the short time our new coach was in com- mand. The Panthers outplayed the tough Central of Evansville Golden Bears in the first half only to lose by a score of 14-0. The heartbreaker of the season was the game against New Albany. Although our team played a good game of ball — with Finley running 60 yards for a touchdown — the New Albany Bulldogs booted a field goal in the last three seconds, and thus won the game 10-7. Another last minute loss was to the Brazil Red Devils who won by a score of 6-0. Our boys managed to cross the goal-l ine once during the game but were called back for backfield in motion. The Panthers outplayed and outscored the Washington Hatchets by a score of 34-0. Most of our reserves saw action in this game. Losing some of its former drive, the team was defeated by the Columbus Bulldogs 20-0. The Panthers met their Waterloo at the hands of the Muncie Bearcats — champions of the Northern Central Conference. This was the worst defeat of the season with a score of 35-0. The fourth quarter rally in the game with the Linton Miners fell short on the one yard stripe as the game ended with the Miners on top 10-0. The Purple Panthers held the Wiley Red Streaks to a score- less tie in our last home game. This game was slowed down by a steady down-pour and a very muddy field. The last game of the season saw the injury-ridden Panthers try valiantly for a victory, but to no avail for they were outplayed by the fast Red Devils of West Lafayette by a score of 12-0. However, scores only partially tell the story — for win or lose, teamwork and har- mony among the boys are valuable assets to the team. Line and Backfield t -- M M Row 1— David Pitcher. Row 2 — Jim Dixon, Gene Walter; Row 3— Don Blottie. Football The team spirit and fight displayed by this team should be an inspiration for all B.H.S. athletic teams. DAVID PITCHER: Seiiior tackle. Dave was an excellent tackle, very steady and dependable. BOYD HALEY: S,emor guard. A four year letterman, Boyd was a tenacious player and a power on defen.se. BOB SIPES: Se7iior center. Although slowed down by a shoulder injury, Bob, a boy who loves football, was outstanding in his position. KENNETH BR ASH ABER: Senior guard. Kenny will be well remembered for his hard charging and tackling. REX BRUMMETT: Junior tackle. Rex was an outstanding tackle of the season and also an e.xceptionally good defensive man. JIM DIXON: Senior end. An excellent blocker, Jim cleared the way for many end runs. GENE WALTERS: Senior quarterback. Gene was a hard-working football player who made hard work pay off. JAMES DEAL: Sophomore fullback. Boogie, a consistent ground gainer and hard driving back, should become a great football player. Captain KENNETH FINLEY: Senior quarter- back. Reuben ' s hard running and fighting spirit exemplified the B.H.S. determination and fight. PAUL NEWTON: Senior end. Noodle was always alert and threw many opponents for losses. DON BLOTTIE: Senior halfback. Don, the lightest and fastest back on the team, demon- strated that a fighting heart compensates for size. Row 1 — Robert E. Sti Joe Records. Row 2— Richard Lyon.

Lettermen It isn ' t so much the size of the Panther in the fight as it is the size of the fight in the Panther. ROBERT E. STEWART: Senior end. Bob was a good defensive man, caught many passes for gains. KENNETH UNDERWOOD: Junior guard. Equally good on offense and defense, we expect great things from him next year. RAY MARTINDALE: Junior fullback. Ray ' s alternate passing and running mal e him a po- tential star in his senior year. GEORGE THRASHER: Junior center. A de- pendable center and linebacker, George ' s experi- ence will be a valuable aid to next year ' s team. JOE RECORDS: Senior center and guard. Play- ing both guard and center, Joe ' s team spirit was exemplary. RICHARD LYON: Senior halfback. Although small. Jeep was fast and a very hard blocker. BOB MARTY: Senior tackle. A good defensive tackle. Bob broke up many of the opponent ' s plays. AUSTIN STEPHENS: Junior halfback. The most improved back of the season, Audie was a fine high knee action runner. RAY LANUM: Senior tackle. Ray made great improvement during the year and landed a regular berth the latter part of the season. FRANK GIFFORD: Senior end. Although ham- pered by a leg injury, Frank was an excellent competitor. GEORGE DE BOY: Sophomore end. A good de- fensive player, George should be an outstanding end next year. Cp, u c C=J? -ft,.

Basketball Season On the night of November 20, our Purple Panthers lifted the lid on their thrill-packed hardwood season by dropping the opener to Crawfordsville, 38-25. With somewhat dampened spirits, they traveled to Greencastle and got their first taste of victory by sharpening their claws on the Tigers with a 38-29 triumph. Back on our home floor, the Central of Evansville Bears blazed through our defense and left us on the short end of a 43-20 score. Then the Sullivan Arrows stepped up for a try and were smashed with a lopsided 49-19 tally. Who will forget the thrill-a-minute top game of the season when we beat the Martinsville Artesians 51-49 by a nerve-wracking overtime. Next the team went to Wiley of Terre Haute and wrecked the Red Streaks 34-29, while holding Wiley ' s star center to a game total of one point. After handing the Bloomington fans a Christmas package in the form of a Panther win, the home five engaged in a New Year holiday tournament at Crawfordsville with teams from Noblesville, Lebanon, and Crawfordsville. Taking second place in the tournament, our boys moved on to Martinsville and thumped the Artesians again, this time by a wider margin of 48-39. Back at the home stamping grounds our winning streak was snapped by the Bedford Stonecutters, who carved a 50-31 loss on the Panther slab. The following night our attempt to muzzle the New Albany Bulldogs failed when they carried off a 42-22 game in a glittering fashion. The Panther team met their city rivals, the University Guinea Pigs, before a capacity crowd and established themselves as the favorites by out-shooting the Univee lads 44-38. Twenty-four hours later our team missed the bandwagon when the Bosse of Evansville Bulldogs edged us out by a final count of 46-45. The home gym was rocked on its foundations when the Panthers came close to upsetting the Jasper Wildcats. The game closed with the scoreboard set at a 43-40 loss. Dobson, our team ' s only sophomore, racked up a game total of 26 points to become high point man of the varsity ' s season. Next the giant Columbus Bulldogs came crashing down on us and handed out a lopsided 61-39 defeat. We then tangled with the Linton Miners who grabbed a 53-32 victory. The Panthers continued their trek away from home by meeting Howe of Indiana- polis. The Hornets ' sting left us with a 42-27 bump. On the move again, we attacked the Vin- cennes Alices and broke our losing streak by chalking up a 52-45 win onto the Panther record. We then got the slate ready for the forthcoming struggle with the Washington Hatchets who proved a bit dull and were themselves cut when we came out on top with a 35-29 score. The 1946- ' 47 season ended when the Purples hopped down the Dixie highway and collided with the Bedford Stonecutters for the second time. A last glance at the board showed a 46-39 decision for the Bedford squad. Our team then began practice for the Mon- roe-Morgan County Sectional Tourney in which uhey hoped to carry off their share of the honors. Our fighting five engaged in a bucket duel with Mooresville as their first game in the Sectional held at the Martinsville gym. The Mooresville squad showed dogged determination as they kept snapping at our heels but time ran out with the Panthers ahead of a 36-34 tally. The follow- ing match with Stinesville gave Bloomington fans a scare. The Quarry Lads roared into the lead during the first half, but the Purples suc- ceeded in coming up from behind to give Stines- ville the brush-off by a 36-35 conquest. The Panthers met their final defeat in the claws of the Ellettsville Eagles. Caught in a flurry of flying leather, our home five put up a good battle, though they lost the tilt 42-34, while che Eagles went on to capture the Sectional crown. For the first time in B.H.S. history the school ' s home basketball games, as well as our football games, were broadcast. W9XHZ also brought the tournaments into the homes of bas- ketball enthusiasts. By our team ' s demonstrations of courage and spirit they showed themselves to possess the major aim of all athletics — sportsmanship. Another B is added to the Shaving Mug A Basket for -W9XHZ J Panther Cubs Scramble for a Score Panther Cubs The Panther Reserves, under the guidance of Coach Cuddy, completed their season with a total of six wins and nine losses. The outstand- ing event was the Washington game played on the home floor. Crandall and Bell bombarded the basket as they aided in scoring nineteen points in the final quarter, and the game came to an end with a 34-19 Panther win. They were also victorious over Greencastle, Martinsville, Crawfordsville, Sullivan, and University. There were no individual stars due to the splendid team work on the Cub squad. As most of the boys were sophomores, they will be eligible to play ball for two more years ; and several are expected to be assets to next year ' s Varsity.

Freshman and Junior High Squads Our Freshmen squad, under the guidance of Coach Huff, ended the season with an admirable record. Of the eleven games in which they participated, six were victories. With most of the losses coming in the early part of the season, the boys had a chance to prove their fight by winning a majority of the following games. Bowing to Stinesville, Oolitic, and Martinsville in the beginning of the year, they later racked up a win from each of these schools. Although the freshmen were twice defeated by Bloomfield, they improved their record by out-scoring the University School three times during the season. The boys, with the completion of their schedule, had shown decided improvement throughout the year. The Junior High basketball team, efficiently mentored by Coach Burns, ended the season with the final record set at six victories and nine de- feats. Although overrun by Ellettsville, Oolitic, and Bedford in both encounters with these teams during the year, the boys never lost courage. They came back with fresh drive to gain two wins from both the University School and St. Charles. The Bloomington High Gym provided the setting for the most thrilling game of the season when Stinesville, after a hard overtime fight, won with the final score 29-25. But prac- tice makes perfect— a good start towards a future varsity team. JUNIOR HIGH Row 1— Robert Curry. Jack Lltten. Dick Glover. Dean Ralnbolt. Joe Miller. Jerry Knox. Row 2 — Paul Tincher.

Wrestling Season The start of the ' 46- ' 47 season saw the Pan- thers faced with the excellent record of last year ' s team. With the ideals of work and co- operation before them, the boys met this chal- lenge and finished their second consecutive year undefeated. Starting their victorious season in a match v ith Crawfordsville, the Panthers pinned the foe on their home mats by a score of 40-8. The Purple matmen steamrolled over Crawfordsville for the second time when the upstate challengers knocked hopefully at the doors of the second street gym only to be sent home in defeat with a final tally of 33-11. The third meet ended with Southport on the small end of the score. Play- ing host once more, the Panther grapplers wrestled the visiting team for a 43-3 victory. The Bloomington High wrestlers later followed the defeated Southport squad back to their stronghold and snatched a 38-12 win. Muncie, the next team to feel the might of the Panther wrestlers, left our gym humbled by a score of 40-6. Then going into the Muncie stronghold, the victory-flushed Panthers swamped the Bear-Cats by a sensational score of 46-0, a fitting clima:: for the end of the regular season. For the first time in wrestling history B.H.S. was host to the Invitational state meet. The Purple grapplers racked up their fourteenth championship by the winning score of 58, the highest to go on record at a state meet. CROSS COUNTRY Don Hart, Edward Frye, Johnny Ream.

Although he was new in coach- ing golf, he brought the season to a successful conclusion with four returning lettermen as the nucleus of the squad. Golf Journeying from the difficulty of the rough to the glory of the green is an everyday occur- rence during the golf season. This year ' s golf squad started something new in the history of Bloomington High School— a fall season as well as the regular spring season. Headed by four returning lettermen, Ray Stancombe, Bill Bundy, Ralph Spears, and Charles Wellman, the squad repeated the fine performance of last year ' s team.

H. S. Letternien Now we come to the athletes of B.H.S. ' — the B-Men. To become a member of this club, a boy must be a letter winner in a sport and be formally initiated in one of the several ceremo- nies each year. In this initiation he is presented with the official symbol of the club, his B pin. The purpose of the E-Men ' s club is to pro- mote better understanding and cooperation a- mong the various branches of athletics in the school and to create a more wholesome respect for the athletic B. Formerly undertaken by B-Men ' s Dads, the awarding of a trophy to out- standing players in each sport is now a function of the B-Men ' s club. The trophies are financed through dues and the B-Men ' s minstrel. Those receiving the honors this year were Kenneth Finley, football; James Dearring, basketball; Robert E. Stev art, wrestling. Social activities consisted of parties and hay rides. At the meetings, held twice a month, ways to better the club were discussed. The officers were Clarence La Master, president; Kenne ' Ji Finley, vice president; Bob E. Stewart, secre- tary-treasurer. Mr. Burns is the club sponsor. Row 1— Phillip Thrasher. Paul Newton. Bob L.
