Before a person is graduated, he is subjected to twelve years' of study under the guidance of that praise-worthy staff- the faculty! DEVELOPMENT To the development of the mint plant, many dif- ferent things are essential - fertilization, cultiva- tion, weeding, and plenty of moisture and sunshine. Likewise, to the development of a person's educa- tion, many different elements are necessary in order to prepare him for life. We believe that all work and no playn does make ,lack a dull boy. Bremen students are fortunate in having a large number of clubs from which to choose their recre- ational activities. ACHIEVEMENT And now we have the finished product, be it grand- mother,s favorite stomach-ache remedy, mint can- dies, toothpastes, chewing gum, or a medicinal compound. Too, the seniors are the finished pro- duct: they're ready to continue their educations or to fit into their niches in life, whether they are to be professional men or mechanics, executives or labor- ers, farmers or hired men, career women or house- wives. ja Mm! A STORY OF BREMEN Did you know that Bremen is in the heart of the largest mint-growing section of the world? If you didn't know it, you are not alone. HAnd just what does this mean? did you say? To begin with, the mint industry is an old one. Synesius, an Egyptian bishop, wrote of mint in 410 A.D. Mint received little publicity, how- ever, until John Ray prepared a dissertation on mint in England about 1700. This was followed shortly by the probable forerunner of our modern distillation process. During the past century the use of peppermint oil has been greatly in- creased. The increase started soon after the roots of the plant were brought to New York from England, thence they were carried to Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. In 1929 the mint industry hit the two million- dollar mark. Later it sagged to one-sixth of that amount and then it rose to its present value of 3'5777,000. Nor is this the end of the mint story. It continues to grow, and many new uses are found for it every year. ' . Marshall County ranks third among the mint producing counties of Indiana, the first state in mint production. Many patrons of Bremen School grow mintg most of our boys work in the mint during the sum- mer. Their school year is financed by this work. Because Bremen is unique as the capital of the mint industry, because mint is vital to our community and to our students, we take pride in dedicating this issue of Sprig O' Mint to the industry from which it gets its name. We hope that both the product and the name of our an- nual will thus achieve greater importance in the eyes of our readers.

Ah, yes -The freshmen! They wander thru the halls and try to look intelligent and full of the world's wisdom. There are seventy-two fresh- men with seventy-two different ideas, attitudes, and brands of humor. Darwin Backhoff, it is rumored, puts his hair up in wave clips every night. Perry Balmer, Charles Berry, Dean Bowser, Donald Bowser, and Owen Balsley seem a bit shy, but I bet they know more than they are telling. Norma Becknell, l pre- dict, will some day be a chorus girl. ,loyce Bowser could have a great future run- ning a date bureau with Mary Fowler, Betty Heckaman, June Longbrake, Joan Stol- ler, Berdene Ringenberg. Can you imagine Eleanor Bishop, Lucille Forsythe, June Gongwer, and Lettie Odom as partners in a candy store and being famous for their chocolate-covered marshmallows? Phyllis Church and Carol Yocum have more fun playing at different sports than anything else. Or do they? Betty Corl can best be described by HLittle but mightyf' Donna Cripe and 4'What sweet delight a quiet life affordsn are as one. Maynard Dietrich will always be remembered for his ability to make points for the other team as he did in the 4-H vs. Hi-Y game. Law- rence Edel and Loren Walker upassed the grades one by one - and also had a lot of fun. Dean Farrer, Harold Kline, and Billy Harrington always will remember to live with all their might - while they live. l can easily visualize Lois Craverson, Methabelle Haenes, Betty Hand, Theda Hill, Iris Kensinger, and Geneva Kiefer as secretaries to that extremely important government ofhcial, Dale Freeze, Jr. Neva Jane Heinke has as her life's motto: HAn ounce of mirth is a pound of sorrowf' Robert Heminger has a love for playing basketball that few know about. Virginia Hoffman is the class beauty, as you can plainly see! Martha Huff was elected yell- leader this year and she can lead 'emi Jeanette Holderman occasionally gets to a class before the bell rings. The entire class is proud of Raymond Mayer 'cause he made the first five of the second team. Bill Leeper is THE student. Bill will prob- ably do something that'll be hard to master. Dewey Martin and Merl Scott are the silent Romeos in the freshmen class. Gerald- Mast believes that people have the most fun. Leroy Miller and Carl Heindrichs could easily be known in years to come as: uMow 'em down Miller and Hot and Hazy Hendrichsf, The two fighters, Aline Rector and Blanche Weldy, are two girls, therefore may be wooedg they are two girls and may also be won. Lyle Redman may some day be a missionary on a South Sea Island. When Don Walterhouse and Vern Troup hear that gals wear sarongs on that island, theyill join him. Phyllis Reed,s the little freshman who proves: '6The best things come in small packages. Esther Beidenbach and Shirley Seiber should remember, 6'l'd rather have a fool to make me happy, than experience to make me sad. Eldon Roeder would make a cute undertaker, you know, ----- more people killed, cutest undertakers! Bill Sahlhoff's greatest ambition is to walk on stilts. Ruth Sahlhofif, Lovonne Whisman, and Edith Zillmer are going to take the place of Western Union Delivery boys. Hazel Stayton could easily become a great author. loan now see a movie version of her latest book with Ruth Stuntz playing the title role. Edwin Vernon has a great name to carry on. Roland Weil I can feature as a newspaper columnist. Maxine Zillmer will be known in years to come as: 'fMaxine the snake Charmerf' Well, that's it. The entire class. All in all, they're a pretty good bunch. Herefs to the class of '45l May they all do O. K. But then they should. Look who has guided them in their first year of high school.

CLASS It all started way back in the fall of 1930 for most of the Juniors. We heard the peal of the bell of the old Bremen School telling us it was time to put our toys away and climb on the first step of the ladder of knowledge. We kept right on climbing, step by step, a few of us missing a step and falling on to the one below, but we climbed right on until we reached the eighth step. Then there came a sad event. We learned that we had to leave our dear old school and start the fall of 1939 in a new building, filled with new teachers, new students, and new ex- periences. Soon we began getting acquainted with all these new things. At last we were little green c'Freshies,7' but we didn,t stay green very long because we began blooming, blossoming, and rapidly producing fruit, good fruit. Almost before we knew it, we were Sophomores. Our studies became harderg but as we were steadily becoming more brilliant, we mastered the hardest of them and became Juniors. We are no longer considered little. Of course, we aren't really big, but we are by no means small. We have only one more step to climb on the ladder of education, but our future life will have many more ladders for us to climb. You will always find the Juniors at the top of these ladders. Once we reach the top we are there to stay! THE CLASS OFFICERS ARE! Paul Sloan, presidentg Wal- ter Martin, vice president,- Noble Heyde, secretary, and Doris Anderson, treasurer.

THE LIBRARIANS The student librarians are selected by Mrs. Fox. They mark the cards, put books on shelves, and help students Hnd reference material. They do not receive any credit for their work, but get much enjoyment from it. The librarians of the high school library are: Claudine Mitchel, Arleen Geib, Lelia Kastner, Lorene Mutti, Lois Fife, Mary Leman, and Esther Sauter. This year an elementary library, which has all the books for the first six grades, was placed on the first floor so that the books would be more accessible to the children. The librarians in the elementary library are: ,leraldine Scott, Elaine Balsley, Lorraine l-leckaman, and Lois Schumaker. PATROL BOYS The Patrol Boys of our school are twenty, well-disciplined boys who, every morning, noon, and evening of each school day, sunshine or rain, do everything in their power to make the streets safe for the eight hundred and fifty pupils of our school. Sam Browne belts indicate their official position. Our Patrol has been fortunate in having a boy selected for camp each year it has been in operation.

The classes are divided into baking, canning, food preparation, clothing, and room improvement courses. All these are under the supervision of Miss Monhaut. The Club meets all summer, takes part in the County 4--H shows, and has exhibits at the 4-H Fair.

The membership consists of all those students who are now taking second, third, and fourth year Latin and all those who have taken it in the past. The aim of the club is to further cultural interests. This is done by studying mythology, stories of gods and goddesses, and this year the Shakespearean play gflulius Caesar. The oliicers this year are: Lorene Mutti, president, and Helen Kastner, secretary. Mrs. Alice Fox sponsors this group. MOVIE CPERATORS CLUB The Movie Operators club is a service club, organized to operate the projection equip- ment for the teachers and classes under the supervision of 0. W. Valentine. Boys are selected for this activity who have mechanical ability and pronounced interest in this work. The operators are: Herbert Mitchel, James Brown, Richard Leeper, Rodney Heckaman, Vance Frederick, Roland Hansen, Elmer Botset, Ernest Yockey. THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB The Girls Glee Club may well be commended for its active participation in various programs throughout this year. Under the guidance of Miss Baker, this group of 56 girls, has played an important role in the school's events. Their repertoire consists of folk songs, ballads, hymns, and classical selections. On a number of occasions, repre- sentatives of the 'club have provided entertainment for various town and community functions as when a group of ten girls sang for the Kiwanis Club. At Christmas time the club furnished music for I'Why The Chimes Rang, and they sang carols at vari- ous homes throughout the town. The most important production of the Glee Club was the Operetta '4Chonita presented April 17. X N J Wywi T ii?ig.w.,9AiA Q K ' r - 'if - '- 1 '- V---'V- A QA .A A A xr.

BOYS 4'H CLUB l,500,000 4-H Club boys and girls are working for victory under the guidance of 150,000 volunteer local leaders and 6,900 county extension agents. We have twenty-five boys and girls enrolled in Corn, Potato, Soy Bean, Pig, Beef Calf. Sheep, and Dairy 41-H Club projects, who completed their work last year. At the present time there are twelve boys and girls enrolled in the Beef Calf club, fifteen in Dairy, three carrying Pig club projects, two Lamb projects, and several prospects for Crop Enterprises. However, the main purpose of the club is not to produce crops and live stock but to develop good character and sportsmanship in the youth of our com- munity as represented by the 4-H's and the four leaf clover which signifies the Heart, the Hand, Health, and Happiness. The Hi-Y Club is a service organization having as its motto: Clean speech, clean sports, and clean scholarshipf, This year the club sponsored the annual Father and Son banquet, attended confer- ences, sold soft drinks at the basketball games, and helped raise funds for the in- fantile paralysis victims. They organized a basketball team and played the 4-H team for the benefit of the Red Cross War Relief fund. This team also played several other games. The ofiicers for this year were: president, Dudley Keyser, vice-president, Roscoe Franklin, secretary, Samuel Anderson, treasurer, Herbert Schuch, sergeant-at-arms, Lloyd Bellman, sponsor, Mr. Lee.

They seem- ed to run into a little trouble each time they met the smart Culver team. It seemed as if the Indians always had their bows and arrows ready for the Lions. Next year the team should have a very good season since they have all but two of the first five back and have several good scrubs to take the places of those graduating. The boys who played their last game for B.H.S. in the final game of the sectional were the memorable: Captain Richard Leeper, Richard Phillips, Dale Sherk, and Denny Still- son. Still on hand will be Carl Hirstein, Noble Hand, and Richard Drudge from the first five. To go with this group will be Stanley Edel, Herbert Mitchell, Lloyd Bell- man, Dale Hershberger, and Roscoe Franklin. We, the class of '42, wish for all future .teams the best of luck and we hope they will be hard fighters, good losers, and good winners. SUMMARY OF INDIVIDUAL GAMES The Bremen Lions opened the 1941-42 basketball season on Nov. 7 against Tippe- canoe. It looked as if they were on the path to a successful season when they swamp- ed the Police Dogs 27-12. Prospects were even brighter the next week-end when they defeated Nappanee's Bulldogs 28-17-the second victory in years over the team from our neighboring metropolis. Then they came home from Syracuse on the short end of a 45 to 21 score. Syracuse had a good band-and a good team. So did Culver, who next defeated them 38-17. The Lapaz game looked hopeless as Emmons was hooking them in from all angles, but Stan Edel pulled the Lions out of the mire with two quick baskets in the closing moments of the game. Final score: 27-26. After an easy victory over North Judson, the Lions played the always powerful Madi- son team on Saturday night. Hand had a chance to tie the score with two free throws after the final gun had sounded. One decided not to go in, so we lost 36-35. The next week-end they again played two games. The boys proved their hardihood and ability by beating both Milford and.Wakarusa, both being teams of good repute throughout this section. The next game, that with New Paris, was looked forward to with great enthusiasm. New Paris, sectional champs of '41, had the same team back and had been undefeated in ten games . . . until that night. Up to this point the Lions had compiled a fine record-seven victories in ten games. The County Tourney added to our laurels as they went to the finals and there put up a good fight against Culver. But then the team went into a slump. They lost five games in succession, only one by a large score, and it seemed as if victory would never smile again. ' In the game with Bourbon the boys went into the last minute with a five point lead. Bourbon, however, scored two baskets in quick succession and had tried for a third before the gun sounded with the Lions in the lead by one point. The Lions split the last two games, losing to Argos and winning from Akron, Fulton County champions.

The Bremen Lions made a good showing in softball this season. lfive of the starting line-up will be lost by graduation. It will be a loss to the team but we are confident that by the time the season rolls around again next fall we shall have boys to fill their places and suits. The boys who played their last high school game against Tyner, whom we defeated by a score of 25 to 0 were: Russell Swank, a pitcherg Richard Leeper. at first sackg Dale Sherk at shortstopg Richard Phillips at left-fieldg and Junior Boyer at right-Held. Bremen players had a high batting average. with several boys above the .600 mark and the others ranging from .400 up. By winning 5 out of the 7 games Bremen ranked third in the county losing only to the tirst and second place teams. The scores are as follows: The pitchers, results were: Bremen 6 Bourbon won lost per-cent Bremen l Argos Swank 2 0 l000 Bremen l4 Lapaz Bellman 3 l .750 Bremen l2 West Twp.

The baseball team is composed entirely of veterans, who last year won 7 out of 12 games. On the .team are: Dick Leeper, Dick Phillips, Carl Hirstein, Ray- mond Mayer, Dick Drudge, Richard Tyson, Robert Kline, Dale Sherk, Noble Hand, James Brown, Richard Hansen, Junior Boyer, and John Stayton.

A basketball league has been arranged so that any boy with ability may develop his talent and advance to one of the school teams. This activity is good for the health of the boys and helps build in them the spirit of sportsmanship and competition, which will be of great value in later life. 7 This activity sponsored a class tourney, which was won by the Sophomores, who de- feated the Seniors in the finals. The score of this tragic affair was 12 to 10. The Sophs had previously defeated the Freshmen 14 to 12, while the Seniors had beaten the Juniors 13 to 12, with Keyser scoring a basket as the gun sounded to end the game.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ln the fall of 1938 an unusual class entered the portals of Bremen High School. Each member was a little flower growing greener every hour, but we were steadfastly working for one end, that of graduation. After the seats were assigned, acquaintances made, and initiations over, we settled down for some hard work. The following officers were elected: Donna Drudge, president, Dick Leeper, vice-president, Leah Huey, secretary- treasurer. After struggling through our freshman year, we felt more sure of ourselves, especially in the new building, so we did without class officers in our sopho- more year. With everything running smoothly we became Juniors, electing Lorene Mutti, president, Lloyd Leeper, vice-president, Juliane Gunterman, treasurer,MLelia Kastner, secretary. The success of the play Campus Quarantine and of the Junior-Senior Prom was due to the careful handling of details and the cooperation of the class. We always wondered if Miss Ramsey found the ornaments that were on the tables at the Prom. Passing quietly and sedately into our senior year, we elected Dick Leeper, president, Dorothy Long, vice-president, Leah Huey, secretary, Dick Phil- lips, treasurer. With Commencement and Baccalaureate in view, we bid farewell to our fellow classmates and B.H.S. We are proud of our last two achievements, the publishing of the 1942 Sprig-O'-Mint and the successful staging of the play, '6What a Life. -QSUEHAUB NSBNQSQQH .mmggm N gr OB .ggi 'HO gE5m:Om dwg gp EO SEMA VHOOW OH -20333 .PED N 8 F03 B OH .pggwmya CSEO?

IV All the remaining and leftover objects which constitute our property, which have not been disposed of, we leave to the entire student body. And we do hereby name Paul Sloan, president of the Junior Class, as sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness, whereof, we, the class of 1942, have to this our will, set our hands and seal this first day of April, one thousand nine hundred and forty-two. Signed: THE CLASS or 1942 SENICR CLASS PROPHECY As I begin a flight in my private plane across the world, I take out my magic tele- scope through which I peer down upon the young men and women who were high and mighty seniors at Bremen High, way back in 194-2. Passing over Bremen, I gaze into the class rooms and who is teaching those little darlings in Home Economics how to cook and sew, but Dorothy Long herself! Looking out into the gym, I see that Charlotte Edel is coach of a girls' basketball team, and she is getting them in shape to win the state tourney. Glancing over the countryside, I see three prosperous farmers-Wilbur Weaver, Russell Swank, and Lewis Senff-all fighting for the title of champion in a corn husking contest. Gliding over some larger cities, I spy a large garage which is owned by Vance Frederick. His chief mechanic, Junior Boyer, is overhauling the car of a traveling saleswoman whom, as I look closer, I discover to be none other than Agnes Moore. She is selling ladies' lingerie. As I search for characters who have chosen matrimony as their careers, I find that Jerry Scott, Helen Heminger, Ruth Sherk, and Iulaine Cunterman have taken hus- bands unto themselves. They certainly havenlt forgotten the technique they learned in Bremen High. You would know what I mean if you could see how their husbands toe the mark. But wait, I mustn't forget that ideal couple, Mabel Loucks and Howard Reed. Howard is a jack of all trades--just anything, as long as he can bring home the bacon to Mabel. Next I see several mechanics coming into view. Among these is Harold Craft, who is jacking up a truck carrying nitro-glycerineg he looks just a little frightened. Harold Reed and Bill Graverson have stationed themselves in the same town and each is try- ing to outdo the other by seeing who can take a car apart the faster and put it together again. While I watch and observe their skill, up drives Paul Miller, who is now a real estate dealer looking for a prospective house buyer. The mechanics direct him to a young lady named Edna Craig, who has a tourist home. She has been so successful that she is looking for more room. Focusing my telescope toward Chicago, I see a stylish young lady entering Marshall Fields. She is Alberta Annis, who is personnel manager there. Clancing thru the window, I see Donna Drudge modeling evening gowns from Paris. Farther down the street I spy a large beauty salon which is owned by Phyllis Bowser. Her assistant, Lois Fife, is giving a permanent wave to Irma Miller, a waitress at the swanky restaurant across the street. Traveling on into a small town. I spot a corner drug store that has been established by Sam Annis. Inside, Jeanette Berger is behind the counter, jerking sodas, while the pharmacist, Rodney Heckaman, finds it quite a job to fill out prescriptions for peo- ple's ailments. Now I see several girls in white. coming into the path of my lens. Marvene Haas is head nurse of the children's department in a large hospital, while Marian Walter- house has been placed in charge of the old menis ward. To my astonishment, I see SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 'C0 ed' that Bonnie Vernon is still specializing in hearts, but now she is a great surgeon. One of her patients is James Dietrich, who has overtaxed his heart in his job as campaign manager for Dudley Keyser, the Democratic candidate for President. Speaking of politics, I see Lloyd Leeper has been appointed Ambassador to China and he is just boarding a plane for his first mission. Flying here and there, thoroughly enjoying myself, I discover that Bremenls class of 42', has furnished its share of business women. Claudine Mitchel, Esther Sauter, and Lelia Kastner, are all busy at their respective comptometer machines. Soon after the clock has struck the noon hour, Joan Kline, a private secretary, may be seen going out to lunch with her boss, while Leah Huey is still taking dictation at 100 words per minute. Mary Kipfer. Donna Ritter, and Florence Mitchel have chosen to be clerks in a large department store. You should see their salesl I l l Adjusting my telescope for a better view. I pass over a radio station and see Margie Slusser and Blanche Forsythe in the midst of a dramatic serial: Marion Grise is the radio announcer, and she is advertising Theda Kuntz's Sudzy Soap Chips. Dennis Stillson is in the control room proving his ability as a radio operator. Having refueled my plane, I continue my flight and find that Arline Duganne is a famous fashion designer while Betty Newgent's prize paintings are on exhibit in the Art Gallery in New York City. Mary Leman and Lorene Mutti have equally succeeded in their profession as high school teachers. After cleaning the lens of my telescope I head my plane toward the Ice Follies. Here I look down upon two champion figure skaters, Betty Scott and Arleen Geib. ,lust as I'm about ready to depart, I notice that a professional hockey game is in progress and that Virginia Knoblock is the center of attraction. I now turn my flight to the west and after I cross the border into California, I see there is some confusion below. Richard Fidel, a state cop. has arrested Dick Phillips. who was trying to break his own record as champion auto racer. Progressing farther into the state, I discover that Dick Leeper, a well known member of the F. B. I., is hot on the trail of a bank robber. ,lust before I leave the state. I see a rather shabby looking person whom I recognize as Dale Sherk. He just found out that the war is over and is coming out of hiding. As I realize that there are still a couple more to be accounted for, I adjust my tele- scope for long range and scan the continents. There in the African jungles I see Robert Miller hunting big game and Warren Koontz taking pictures of all prize catches. Thus, having fulfilled my mission. I lay away my telescope, and with a smile on my lips, turn my plane homeward to ponder over my interesting discoveries.
