Those who have been privileged to pass through her portals will recall with gratitude and appreciation the inspirations that have enriched their lives and led them to greater heights. 105 A3399 There lies within the foothills of southern Indiana, a little town formerly called New Providence; but which is now known as Borden. This little town is in wcod Township inamed after John Wbod one of the first settlersi, Clark County. In 188h William W. Borden, whose personality is indelibly impressed upon this little village, its institution, and people, encouraged the erection of a college building, the Borden Institute. His clear and powerfhl mind planned and organized it in every detail and his generous nature wholly supported it. The building was described as one of the finest in the state. It was built of brick two stories above the base- ment which supplied room for a large laboratory; and towering above the roof was the observatory. Much credit must be given to the principals of Borden Institute: Professor J. G. Scott, the first principal, organized the first course; Professor F. M. Stalker, the second principal, raised the school to the grade of a college; Professor W. E. Lugenbeel, the third principal, in- troduced the modern language and science; Professor H. A. Buerk, the fourth principa1,adopted the final curriculum which was more democratic and consisted of four separate courses: a course in English and Science covering three years' work, a teacher's course of two years, a one-year classic course, and a four-year collegiate course. .The fifth and last principal of Borden Institute was Professor J. O. Engleman. The students at Borden Institute enjoyed the following advantages: the finest geological cabinet in the state, a library of 'two thousand volumes, a complete line of philosophical and chemical apparatus, and a complete museum of curiosities from all parts of the world. In 1900 William W. Borden built this museum as a memorial to his ancestors. By a special act of the state legislature approved March 2, 1911, the township trustee was authorized to use the building of the Borden Institute for a high school. In 1919 the high school was granted its commission. This credit should be given to Professor Clem Jordan, whose able leadership and untiring efforts during his seven-year tenure as principal did much for advancement in educational opportunities of the young people of the community. This Commission endbles the graduates to enter state universities without examination,and it has been maintained through the intervening years. On the occasion of the annual commencement exercise in 1929, Mrs. Emma Dunbar Borden Robb, widow of Professor Borden, donated the Borden Institute building and ten acre campus to the citizens of Wbod Township for a high school. The name was changed to wm. W. Borden High School iSi .t I 3 I p as a living memorial to the generous spirit of these two individuals. In 1933 Mn George W. nobb remodelled the building and installed a water system in memory of Mrs. Robb. In 1933 Honorable James W;Dunbar donated the Museum Building and the adjoining field for school purposes and a playground for school children. We students of'thWLBorden High School should forever cherish this memorable and historicalinstnntkn and appreciate the many noble deeds and gifts that were so generously contributed by leaders and educators in the past.

It is unique in having a large campus, much of which is covered with a native forest of oak, beech, and yellow poplar. This adds greatly to the environmental setting. .The school building is an aged, brick building with Gothic appointments. It is well seasoned and revered by those who have passed through her corridors and moved on to contribute to the progress of humanity. educational production, however,is not measured in material things alone. It required leadership and instruction and a noble and spirited youtho Our student body comes from a sturdy American stock, a people who have led in the making of history for centuries. We are proud of their record, and we admire the noble characteristics inherited and possessed by our students. They face the futire undaunted and will occupy their place in the ever-flowing stream of life. The Borden High School is the epitome of the American spirit.

During the following six years we worked diligently and arduously to build this inward Tower of Knowledge with the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic, which seemed very deep to such small students; yet this work was comparatively easy with a few days' rest for programs and entertainments at Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Of course, everyone also enjoyed their summer's vacation each year. when the autumn days came once again in 19kb, we were delighted at the thought of crossing the bridges which spanned the ravines between the grade school and the high school to add to our Tower of Knowledge with new subjects and teachers. The subjects seemed harder to us, but with the help of our teachers the obstacles soon vanished with careful planning and study. The first day at the high school building was a definite thrill. The Assembly Hall seemed massive to us since we had Just come from the small grade school rooms. we went to a different room for each class, and there we met a new teacher for each subject. The rooms were numbered and our principal, Ir. Harry A. Jones, had fully explained to us just where each class was to be held; but we were constantly getting confused and ending in rooms with upper classmen. we looked with awe upon the great Seniors and dreamed of the day when we would be like them. When we reported to our first class on Monday morning, many new faces were present in the group. Nineteen students answered the roll call: Anna Mary Coats, Meleta Grim, Jimmie Dudley, Anna Dunn, Pauline Eurton, Arvel Hurst, Lillian Jackson, Roberta Jackson, Vere Jackson, Billie Landreth,i Judy larre, Marilyn McKinley, Donne Honey, Betty lull, Isabell Mull, Ramona Nicholson, welter Scott, Joann Taylor, and Ottie wright. Those who Joined our class from other schools were as unaccustomed to the new ways of study as our own group; so we helped each other, and, in this way, we soon became friendly classmates. we devoted our thoughts end time to our studies throughout the year so that we would build our Tower of Knowledge higher and higher and add more and more knowledge to our education. Thus we completed our seventh year of schooling and made our tower one year nearer its coupletion. In the fall of 19h5, we started back to school again with fourteen students answering the roll call. Seven classmates from the previous year 10 C339 had not returned. They were Jimie Dudley, Pauline Phrton, Arvel Hurst, Lillian Jackson, Roberta Jackson, Billie Landreth, and Walter Scott. To partially fill their places three new students entered our class:'rhressie Garrett, Wayne Gray, and Jackie Whitson. We studied very hard throughout the school months; and when the hat day of school came in the spring of 1916, we were very excited. That was the day we had been looking forward to because we were graduating from Junior High School. Happy, but just a little nervous, we marched into the msium; and after the Seniors were presented with their diplomas, we, the Eighth Graders, were given our diplomas which showed that we were then eligible to become high school students. Returning to Wm. W. Borden High School in the autumn of 1916 seemed just a little diverse. Hany new students entered our class, but only a few had dropped out. The Freshman Class now consisted of: Vivian Mr,- Charles Bierly, Teresa Book, Florence Brownknns Mary Coats, llelets Grim, Patricia. Denny, Anna Dunn, Wilford Faske, Wayne Gray, Elvin Jackson, Vera Jackaon,.Jane Kopp, llarilyn McKinley, Dotty Maddux, Judith Harts, Donna Money, Betty Mull, Isabell MulLRamona Nicholson, Joan Odle, Kenneth Popp, Nettie Watson, Jackie Whitson, and Ottis Wright. Subjects seemed to have made a considerable change also. It was no longer Arithmetic-but Algebra. English still stood unchanged; but with it, Latin. Geography existed no mre, and in its place was World History. New subjects such as Home Economics and Agriculture were undertaken, and during the first week everyone and everything was in a general uproar. But by the end of the first month under the careful guidance and planning of the faculty, subjects and students alike were progressing rapidly. Since we were Freshmen and in high school, we were entitled to two parties a year. The class looked forward to these for their recreation. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, our sponsors, took us on a wiener roast which everyone enjoyed very mch. Next came Christmas, to which we always looked forward with great delight. The privilege of decorating the Christmas tree was given to us, and even the Seniors looked upon this privilege with envy. The only dark cloud in this bright sky of vacation was the thought of the semester examinations, which were to be given as soon as we returned from our gals holiday. On January 1, everyone made a New Year's resolution to study harder and nuke better grades in the year of 19h7. After finishing our semester ems, we felt very relieved, settled down to work for another month, and made plans for our last party of the year. On the night of February 11;, Donna Honey was the hostess st our Valentine's party; but some of us did not get to attend because of the snow and the icy roads. 105 C339 When spring began to draw nearer, and the trees began to Sway in the warm breezes, we became as full of life as the newly bedded flowers. The days became warmer and warmer; and when the last day of school arrived, we climbed aboard a bus which took us talong with other Junior and Senior High School studenteh to Spring Hill Park for our annual school picnic. Another echool year had come and gone, and our Tower of Knowledge had been built higher; and the ultimate goal seemed closer in view. A; the summer months drew nearer to a. close in the fall of 191:7, the subject of school, new books, and teachers once again reeounded among the hills. The old familiar din of the school bell rang loud and clear as it called us back to school. Happily we trod up the well-wern path to greet the familiar faces of our classmates. . Due to various reasons we found that new of our old acquaintances were not among the group when Mr. Trainer seated ue alphabetically 1n the Assembly Hall as follows: Vivian Balmer, Teresa Book, Bobby Bibb, Florence Brown, Anna Mary Coats, Meleta Grim, Wilford Faeke, Threesie Garrett, Barry Hill, Vera Jackson, Denetri King, Edward Kirchgeeener, Dotty laddux, Judy Marx's, Marilyn McKinley, Donna Money, Rainna Nicholson, Jerry Waterfill, Nettie Watson, and Ottie Wright. During the month of October, before the winter winds began to blow, Hrs. Craig, our sponsor for the year, took us down by the old iron bridge east of Borden for a wiener roast. As the cold north winds blew and snow flurries filled the air, time drew near for a Christmas vacation. Before we were dismissed for this festive holiday, we exchanged gifts endxeeng carols in the Assembly Hall. After an enjoyable week' a vacation we went back to school on New Year's Day. In a few days we were given the semester exam, and everyone's report card showed that he was building his inward Tower of Knowledge in a. broader and more extensive manner. When the birds began to chirp happily in the tree tops, the time was coming for school to be dismissed for another year. The spring days bed been beeutifu1-but not the day we chose to go to Clifty Fells State Park on our annual school picnic. The sky hung heavy with dark clouds, and e chilling breeze blew as we ran through the rain from the bus to a shelter house. Although the day seemed dark and dreary, our gay spirits were not dampened; and everyone enjoyed the trip immensely. During the last week we were given our final exams, which finished one half of our high school education. Throughout the etmer months we worked, plued, and planned for the day when we would enter our beloved school as Jolly Juniors. Going back to school thet bright September day of 19158, we found few new teachers, subjects, or classmates. We were a class of eighteen teen-agers, who were 105 0339 eager to add more to our Tower of Knowledge. The following students were seated in the Junior row: Vivian Balmer, Bobby Bibb, Teresa Book, Florence Brown, Anna Mary Coats, Heleta Grim, Barry Hill, Vera Jackson, Edward Kirchgessner, Emil Kirchgessner, Dotty Haddux, Judy Marrs, Marilyn McKinley, Donna Honey, Ramona Nicholson, Jerry Whterfill, Nettie watson, and Ottis wright. Ira. wertz, our class sponsor, organized our class and helped us to decide on our class motto, 'In ourselves our future lies ; our class flower, baby orchids; and our class colors, blue and silver. The first school-wide wiener roast was given for both the Junior and Senior High School students. A few boys built a large bonfire beneath the second bridge from the high school;and as the brisk autumn winds whistled through the trees, we enjoyed the warmness of the bright fire while we roasted wieners and marshmellews. When the fire slowly grew dimmer and -dimmer, we sang our school song and left in high spirits to watch a soft- ball game in the newly lighted ball park. It was, by the way, a victony for our team. Each year it was a custom of the Junior Class to sponsor a Halloween Party for the community. Several days before the event our class worked and planned for the affair so that it might be Just a little better than all previous Halloween parties. Everyone had a special duty in decorating the gym for the occasion. 'The refreshment stand was completely stocked with hot-dogs, ice cream, candy, and apple cider; the fish pond was full to overflowing with trinkets and prizes. The fortune teller was ready to tell the future to all who would enter her dark, secluded room. The ghost trail was filled- with gruesome sights and sounds. we were well prepared for the crowd as they filled the gym, but we were not prepared for what happened next: Just as the party was in full swing, the lights snapped off over the entire town and left the weird, masked figures stranded in the inky blackness of a Halloween night. All the ancient lore told about Halloween came to our heads before Mr. Hollenbach, the coach, came to our rescue-with a huge spotlight. The party gaily continued and was brought to a close in the shadows of the large gym. The main event of the school year for us was our Junior Class Play, Springtime for Patsy , presented on December 16. The cast included 3the entire class with the plot centering around Patsy, an adorable sixteen year old tombqy; her giddy young friends;a kid sister;an.English teacher; a coach, and a handsome young writer who was constantly amused at Patsy's eagerness to become a dignified and romantic young lady. This was our first experience on the stage, and we worked diligently under the careful supervision or Mrs. Nale to make our play the success that it was. Then came the Christmas holidays. we were privileged to attend the Grade School Christmas Program before being dismissed a week for wmuuion. 105 0339 --..-- V. - -i - -. -- . . . .i.-e - .l -, ,e- ,- 7- . , - .-o When we returned at the beginning of the new year, we had ,our Semester Exams which brought us closer to the finish of another year's werk on our inward Tower of Knowledge. Since we were Juniors this year, we were looking forward to planning an evening of gaiety for the Seniors. Several weeks before this event we worked with enthusiasm to make'place cards, memory books, and invitations. At last, on the evening of April 8, 1919, we met at the French Village in Louisville, for our Junior-Senior Reception Dinner. Jerry Weterfill gave the welcome to which Regina Hash responded. The Senior Class Will and Praphecy were read, and a farewell song we sung by the Junior Trio. Then everyone assembled at the Loew's Theatre to see Take lie Out To The Ballgame. This climaxed an evening which was thoroughly enjoyed by 3.11, and 'one which will long be remembered by the Juniors. The day following the recession of school on April 29, was the one set aside for our annual school picnic. We were very glad when this day came; but, as usual, it was a gloomy and rainy day. Dressed in reineoets and boots, we skipped gaily through the telling rein to the buses which took us to Spring Hill State Park. Since it was raining, we had to build a. fire in the shelter house where we ate our picnic dinners. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day in spite of all its glooninese. ' The sumer vacation was filled with happy times for 0.11 of us, end. the warm, sunny days came to a close much too soon. Mounting the stone steps and entering the portals of Borden High School, in the fall of 191:9, still presented the same thrill that it had four years ego when we first pushed the heavy doors open and walked shyly down the unfamiliar hall to seek further knowledge. This year when we reached the Assembly Hall, we not only found that we were the proud possessore 01' the Sophisticated Senior Row; but also eighteen new desks had been purchased for the room. Since we were Saint's, we were given the new desks and were seated alphabetically as follows: Vivian Balmer, Bobby Bibb, Teresa Book, Anna liary Coats, Islets Grim, Barry Hill, Vera Jackson, Edward Kirchgessner, Emil Kirchgessner, Judith lsrrs, Marilyn McKinley, Donna Money, Richard Stepro, Ramona Nicholson, Jerry Waterfill, Nettie Watson, and Ottis Wright. After a few weeks, however, Richard Stepro left our class. Ir. Howard Clsshnan, our new principal and sponsor, helped us plan s skating party to which we invited our pals, the Junior Class. We hsd s very enjoyable evening st the Salem Skating Rink; end for a few days after the party, everyone seemed to be semewhet stiff. But school was not all play because we had to study herd on our advanced subjects. Also we began to plan and work on our school annual in our extra time. Ire. Hale, the 100 F339 faculty adviser chose the staff and each of us undertook our special task of organizing material for the different sections of the book which would take several months to outline each detail carefully. In order to have something different from other Senior Classes, we organized the Senior Quartet which consisted of Donna Mbney, Anna lhry Coats, lhrilyn MCKinley, and Ramona Nicholson. we were asked to sing at several occasionsuthe Junior Class Play in December, an Aleshembly Program, and at Christmas time. When the Christmas holidays grew near, we were all filled with the Yuletide Spirit. On Thursday, December 23 we were invited to attend the Grade School Christmas Program again this year. Then on Friday the high school had their gift exchange and a short program after which school was dismissed for a week. Returning to school from our weekB festivities was uninteresting and dull for a few days; that is, to all of us except Donne who had received an engagement ring ta very pretty one, tool on Christmas Eve. Everyone was excited and was wondering when the wedding bells would ring--prdbably next June. During the remaining months we studied but enjoyed an equal amount' of play. In March we completed our annual and anxiously awaited for the finished copies to be assembled. Also we began to practice for our Senior Class Play, Grandad Steps Out , a comedy, which was given on April 21. The plot consisted of Grandad, an eccentric old man, who resents all the restraining factors placed upon him by his declinkg health and protective care of his daughter. The maid, a coy old neighbor, and a set of triplets added many complications to the household. Into this already perturbed situation comes his niece and his nephew. To add more to the hilarious setting, Grandad's old friend returned from the west and planned to stage a supper for his boyhood pals. Grandad does a disappearance act incognito so perfectly thatxuather the detective nor the enraged wife of a fellow cronie can discover their whereabouts. How they returned to nonmalacy created an atmosphere of intense interest interspersed with tons of laughter. Hrs. Patton, the English instructor, directed the evening's performance. On the evening of April 28, the Junior Class entertained us with a Junior-Senior Reception Dinner held at the Nicholson Hotel, Fern Creek, Kentucky. Everyone looked very nice in spring suits of various colors. After enjoying a luscious dinner, we went to nonisville for the evening's entertainment. Everyone enjoyed himself immensely. Hany early spring flowers began to spread their petals and display their beautiful array of colors; the green buds peeped forth to greet the new green grass; and the bright blue skies were quite often filled with G339r warm spring showers. All of these changes reminded us that the close of school was bringing us nearer to graduation. We loved our school, studies, and teachers. We worked fervently to complete our Tower of Knowledge, and we knew that within the next few days we would be parting from this school where we had sought and found the knowledge that we wanted and needed to become better citizens of our community, state, and country. On Friday night, Mhy 12, 1950, we marched proudly, with our heads held high, down the aisle of the gymnasium and ascended the steps of the stage. The girls appeared angelic in their caps and gowns of white; the boys, sedate in contrasting gowns of royal blue. we were privileged to have as our speaker, Hr. Deane E. walker, State Superintendent of Public Schools, who delivered a very inspiring address. Then as our names were called by Supt. W. E. Wilson, we arrogantly stepped forward, received our diplomas, and reversed our tassels with the feeling that we had achieved something which could never be taken from us. To our family and friends werevealed only the happiness and joy that filled our hearts because we were graduating from William W; Borden High School. But for many of us there was a struggle to keep back the tears because we were leaving the school which had been the source from which we had built our inward Tower of Knowledge. This school had been the guiding hand which was to embark us upon a life, either happy or forlorn, just as we chose to make it. Our class motto thoroughly discloses this thought- In ourselves our future lies.

This was the first day of my vacation for an excursion and a return visit to Borden, my home town, in fifteen years. After I packed my bags and said goodeby to the President tmy wifei,the First Wbman President of the United States,I headed toward the Union Station where I boarded a train for Lake Louise, Canada. As the train moved out of the station, the conductor came through my coach to collect tickets. When the conductor stopped at my seat, tbelieve it or noti I saw Edward Kirchgessner. He was achieving his lifelong desire -to ride a train. He told me that his wife gave him his first ride on a train for his twenty-first birthdaygand he liked his ride so well that he just stayed on and worked his way up to be the conductor while his wife was the engineer. we had a nice little chat about our old classmates from Borden High School. He told me that Annile Marie, the famous novelist, had ridden in this same coach just last week. I did not have the slightest idea whom he was talking about; and when he saw the puzzled expression on my face, he explained that I knew Miss Harie by the name of Anna Mary Coats. He told me that her novel Characters 2g Daisy Hill won the fiction award as the best-mritten nightmare o ' . Ed did not stay to talk longer, for he had to collect more tickets. Since I do not know anyone else in the coach,I am going to climb into my berth and get some sleep because tomorrow I arrive in New York. June 12, 1970 Dear Diary, I arrived in New'York late this afternoon. After I checked my bags and left the station, I decided to take a stroll about town. When I grew tired of walking, I decided to get something to eat. Ithad noticed some very good-looking restaurants earliers and went back to where I had seen them. The first one that I came to was Ye 01' Red Balloon , a French- type sidewalk cafe. From within I heard the most beautiful music; and when I stepped inside, there was Hadenoiselle La Accordian thetter known to me as Ramona Nicholsoni, playing her famous arrangement of Twelfth Street Rag. After her act she came over to my table, and we had a long talk about old times. She told me that Vera Jackson was in New York and was working at the New York Stock Exchange. In fadt,she was a broker for the Borden Cabinet Corporation, which had outgrown the small building in Borden and now had G33sl factories in all parts of the United States and in sections of Europe. What's more, Vera was the one who had caused all this expansion to come about, for she had invented a filing cabinet that made the office girl's dream come true. The filing cabinet had both hot and cold running water, a radio, a heater, and a couch to lie down on while she did the filing. This type of filing cabinet became so popular that the Borden cabinet Corporation had to expand to fill all the orders. ' After this delightful evening, I bade Ramona farewell and made my way back to the station and boarded the train which would take me across the Niagara Falls into Canada. June 13, 1970 Dear Diary, Another delightful day has passed! Much to not surprise, who would be standing on the platform when I alighted from the train-none other than that famous actress T. V. Telaveniey, the girl who had outclassed Martha Raye of the movies and Judy Canova of the radio with her daring performances on television. Even so, I recognized her as Judy Harrs, the girl with the beautifu1-but big mouth. We had quite a con-fab about the good old days at school. I told her that I was on 11w vacation and was bound for Lake Louise. She said that she had just spent a few days there and was now leaving on another tour of the world. Her last words were, as she told me good-by, that I certainly would be surprised when I found out who was the manager of the Lake Louise Hotel. I hailed a taxi and hurried out to the lake. It was a very pretty place, so peaceful and restful in appearance. Then I made my way to the manager's office to make reservations; and there I saw Marilyn Lou Lou of Lake Louise written on the door. ' When I opened the door, there sat Marilyn McKinley behind the desk. I was so glad to see her-qw favorite boyhood sweetheart: She told me that she had always wanted to live in Canada beside a lake, so she bought this tract of land with a large pond surrounded by pretty evergreen trees of pine and spruce. She had spent several years landscaping the place and finally completed this resort, which made all her dreams come true. She also said that she found plenty of time to paintuher favorite pastime and hobby. She showed me several of her scenic pictures which she had painted of her lake and its surroundings. One of the pictures particularly appealed to me; it was her prize masterpiece of modern art that had won worldly fame as the best production of Beetlebaum. One look at this creation, and one would surely be Madison Bound. After several hours of idle chatter, she showed me around her haven. We relived many happy hours together before it was time for me to retire to my room and dream of the marvchanges that had taken place in the past twenty years. .rx 105 G339, June 11;, 1970 Dear Diary, This has been such a pleasant day of swimming, fishing, and boating. Early this morning I went for a dip in the lake, and I saw a photographer taking pictures of the sunrise. There was something so familiar about him that I walked over to see if I knew whom the photographer was 3 and then I recognized Bobby Bibb. Bob has followed the photography line with amazing results. He said that he was a photographer for Times Magazine; and had been sent to Lake Louise to take pictures ofthe rare fish in the lake. He hoped that this picture would equal the photograph that he had taken of the Senior Class of Borden in 1950. This photograph had'won a contest for being the oldest collection of human beings ever collected together in one spot. He informed me that he had interviewed and made pictures of those two great scientists, Jeckle and Hyde, informally known as Barry Hill and Meleta Grim. They were the winners of the nobel prize in physics because they gave the world the new theory of mumelciosmosis Amphilophea of the Adamantine. They were also noted for making the greatest advancement toward preserving peace. Bob told me that this was the biggest fraud in history, for they were far from being a peaceful couple because they were always throwing peace around home-pieces of furniture. Marilyn interrupted our conversation by giving me a telegram from nw wife. When I read the wire, I found out that mywife was in Florida for a few day's rest and wanted me to come and help her plan a Whistle Stop Tour of the United States. So I left the girl with the big brown eyes and caught the first plane headed south toward Miami. June 15, 1970 Dear Diary, Today has been strange indeed; Miami, the famous winter resort, was completely under snow; and the ocean was fro zen over. When I arrived in Miami early' this morning, 11V wife met me at the airport. While we were having breakfast, I heard someone talldng at a table behind me. The voice sounded familiar; and when I turned around there sat Teresa Book, who now is lmown as Babbling Book. Teresa told me that she was now on the air as a News Commentator, and her specialty was weather reports. Her motto was Never let the listener know what was going on. As usual when two old clasanates met, we chatted about old friends, and I learned from her that Emil Kirchgessner was the president of the Janitors Union. He had given the union new life with his inspiring words, If you can't fix it, break it. Now the union was out on strike because the Steel Corporations had invented a steel hammer that they could not break. G339 Teresa also informed me that she had seen Nettie watson in Europe. Nettie was continuing to live the quiet life that she had always lived on Pull-tight Hill. After Nettie graduated, she moved to Nova Scotia where she obtained a position as a bookkeeper and finally worked her way up to an accountant. She was now the official C.P.A. of Foogles Fresh Fish Market. As they say, everyone to his own sense of smell tfishl. After breakfast we went to the hotel to outline a schedule for my wife's tour. we decided to make our first stop: at Borden; then travel toward the west. Late this afternoon we boarded the special train for her Whistle Stop Tourd June 16, 1970 Dear Diary, we came to Borden on the Ole Faithful Mbnon Special this morning; and as I stepped from the train, I saw one of the familiar school busses bringing its cargo of human raw material to the school to be finished into the fine product of mature human beings. Lo and behold1-there was Donna Jean Money tnow'known as Ma Nicholsonl sitting behind the wheel of the bus. After all of the school children had left the bus, I went over to talk to her. She informed me that she makes that man of hers stay at home and keep the house and kids while she drives the school bus. While my wife made her speech, I slipped away and walked up the old familiar path to the school. walking into the Commercial RoonyI received the greatest shock of my life; for there I saw Vivian Balmer actually talking. As I well remembered, it was a rare occasion to hear Vivian say more than yes or no ; but as she told me later that when you teach school, you have to talk up, beat up, or you may as well pack up and go home. I rambled down the steps that lead to the basement; there I heard the voice of my lifelong friend and fellow Democrat, Ottis wright. He was Borden's combined agriculture teacher and basketball coach. He said that he was having a lot of trouble because his basketball team had won top honors in the livestock judging contest and his agriculture class hadn't lost a game this season. I didn't have time to talk longer, for 11w wife had probably finished her speech by now; so I left the little red school house on the hill and made my way back to the train. After twe more week's of speeches, we went to Equador, the land of eternal spring. Ah, it was so nice to lie in the shade when I knew that all of my old classmates were healthy, wealthy, and wise.

It is splendid training for leadership because it emphasizes co-operation. It helps muscular development and develops also skill,speed,and endurance. Teamwork is necessary for success in playing basketball. A player who tries to perform as an individual rather than as a member of the team all working together will not add to his team's chances of winning. The players are not the only ones who receive benefit and pleasure from the game. Basketball is a sport much enjoyed by audiences. The flashing limbs of the players, the quick moving bodies racing up and down the floor, and the tense moment when the free throw is made, are all extremely exciting. Perhaps the rapidity of the game and the fact that it is a sport where physical conflict is barred are two reasons.hr its continued popularity. W Many happy hours have been spent here in play and contests. Physical education develops both body and character. The pleasant asuxdations which we have had together will be lasting through the years to come. 100 F339 J1 . 0 A I a l' git .Wivn'll Row 1 - John Lewis, Rudy Cook, Vincent Smith, Wesley Carter, Donia Jordan.

B E R R I E 8 Basketball, during the l9h9-l950 season, was a disappointment as to the number of games won and lost; but it was good experience for the underclassmen who will return for the 1950-51 season. The graduating players from the 1950 sectional Squad are Ottis wright and Barry Hill. In these two boys we lose much of the spirit and heart that it takes to make success on the hardwood, and we will find replacement hard. Our underclassmen carried the brunt of the offense during the past season with Rudy Cook leading the scoring,but a great portion of these points could not have been gained if it were not for able assistance from such members as John Lewis, Vincent Smith, Wesley Carter, Paul Davis, and Donie Jordan. During the first of the season Jerry Whterfill was a mainstay and only an injury kept him from playing a very successful season. Merlin Popp was ruled ineligible for tourney play, but he will be shooting for a position in late 1950. Other outstanding prospects for the 1950-51. squad are Larry Johnson, Aaron Mull, and Joe Whalen, all freshmen; Wendell Trainer, and Everett Scott, sophomores. 100 5 31 3 9 Barry Hill Senior Weight - lhO Height - 5'7 Rudy Cook Junior Weight - 16h Height - 6' Wesley Carter Junior Weight - lh2 Height - 6'1 ' Ottis Wright Senior Weight 170 Height - 6'h Vincent Smith Junior Weight - 155 Height - 5'8 9 U J Paul Davis Sophomore Weight - 135 Height - 5'6 Wendell Trainor Sophomore Weight - 130 Height - 5'7 Donie Jordan Junior Weight - lhO Height - 5'11 ohn Lewis Sophomore Weight - 165 Height - 6' Larry Johnson Freshman Weight - 125 Height - 5'8 0. !1 3 t 0 I 74e SW Nov. h - Lexington 0here1 Nov. 12 - New Washington 0here1 Nov. 15 - New Salisbury 0here1 Nov. 18 - Campbellsburg 1there1 Nov. ?2 - New Middletown 0here1 Dec. 2 - Pekin 0there1 Dec. 7 - Georgetown 0here1 Dec. 16 - Henryville U'xerQ Dec. 23 - Medora 0there1 Jan. 7 - County Tournament Charlestonn Jan. 13 - Pekin 0here1 Jan. 20 - Hardinsburg 0here1 Jan. 21 - New Washington 0there1 Jan. ?7 - Georgetown 0there1 Feb. 3 - Campbellsburg 0here1 Jerry waterfill Feb. 10 - New Salisbury 0there1 Senior Feb. 17 - Henryville 0there1 Weight - 157 Feb. 22 - Sectional Tournament Height - 6'1 Charlestown 0Jerry did not finish playing the entire season because of an injuny.1 BlSKETBALL SIITISTICS High Score Team: Georgetown 1h51 Low Score Team: Henryville 0281 High Score Opponents: Charlestown 0811 Low Score Opponents: Henryville 12h1 High Score in one game: Cook 12h1 with New Salisbury Most Freethrows in one game: Charlestown 1161 Leading Scorer: Cook 02871 - Smith 01291 - Carter 11231 Free Throw Percentages CARTER - 31159 - .525 - 19 games LEWIS - 17131 - .Sh8 - 17 games COOK - 7111118 - .1480 - 19 games POPP - on - .000 - 3 games DAVIS - 1115 - .667 - 18 games SMITH - 531112 - .h69 - 17 games HILL - 112 - .500 - 5 games TRAINOR - 0x0 - .000 - 1 game JOHNSON - 212 - 1.000 - 2 games WATERFILL - 15128 - .536 - 12 games JORDAN - 8A7 - .h70 - 17 games wmcm - 12133 - .36L - 13 games 100 3 3 9 Q C F Row 1 - Calvin Willis, Coach, Larry Johnson, Morris Popp, Melvin Rosenberger, Everett Scott, Clifford Kirchgessner.

Due to injuries and sickness, the total of sixteen boys saw service during the year. Ottis wright led the scoring parade with a total of 139 Points, an average of 12.6 per game. Other leading scorers were Barry Hill with 57; Bobby Bibb, h8; Merlin Popp, h7; and Ed Kirchgessner, h2. The wins were over New Middletown, Marengo, New Salisbury, and Hardinsburg, the last two in overtimes. Since many of the boys will play again next year, a more successful season is anticipated. 5W mm The student managers for the entire season were: Billy Price, Paul Coffman, and Dale Naugle. These boys were the Coach's right- hand men around the gym, and they were efficient in everything that the Coach told them to do. They were also responsible for keeping the gym and dressing rooms clean,and they did a good Job during the whole year. The team is very grateful to the boys for their work, and everyone hopes that they will be back again next year. 105 39 i i Barry Hill Ottis Wright Jerry Waterfill These boys were awarded honor sweaters for their varsity competition on the basketball team.

Rosella McKinley, the Fairy Queen, was escorted by Donie Jordan and attended by Lavona Hooker, Doris Naugle,Naomi Coats, Dale Naugle, Rudy Cook, and Melvin Rosenberger. The Junior Play entitled The Tinker carried the same holiday atmosphere. The cast conwisted of Joe Huber, Vincent Smith, Lenora McKinley, Fritz Fisher, Darylene Waggoner, Katie Lou Hurst, Wesley Carter, and James Nunn, the Tinker. The kindly philosophy of the Tinker transformed a Christmas season from an egocentric receiving to the beneficient Spirit of giving.
