THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL Senior Class History September, 1920, forty-four Freshmen entered Butler High School. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President - Earl McDonald Vice President - Robert Rudd Treasurer ----- Ralph Sturgis Secretary ----- Dorothy Ocker They participated in the inter-class basket ball games but after several victories lost to the Eighth grade. During the term we enjoyed several social functions, including class parties at the Haverstock home and at 1 the school house. When we returned as Sophomores our number was greatly diminished and we paid more attention to study, only having one party at the school house. The officers were : President - - - - - Robert Rudd Vice President - Russell Miller Secretary - Kathryn Gehring Treasurer - Gaylord Mullet In 1922-23 we undertook to publish our school paper, The Fortnight, and to. give a bancpiet to our upper classmen. We entrusted our affairs to: President ----- Tyol McClellan Vice President - Russell Miller Secretary ----- Gaylord Mullet Treasurer ----- Kathryn Gehring That year we won the championship of the inter-class basket bail games. We are now Seniors with our high school career nearly finished, but only twenty-two remain of the original class. Our efforts this year have been centered on the publication of the Annual and presentation of Senior Play, but we have also been represented in athletics, the operetta and the Discussion Contest. The present, officers are : President ----- Henry Funk Vice President - Earl McDonald Secretary - Loren Teutsch Treasurer ----- Dorothy Ocker TROPAEUM The Class Prophecy The piercing blasts of a large locomotive whistle, then the sound of air whirring through the coaches, a terrible jerking of the whole train, and I found myself sitting upon a fat gentleman ' s lap on the seat facing me. The heavy train came to a stop none too soon, for even then it had grazed the rear of an automobile which had tried to beat it across the track, and luckily for the occupants, had only pushed it to one side. Of course, out of curiosity, everyone piled out of the coaches and walked to the head of the train. There, the engineer, who proved to be Arthur Jenks, was confirming the fact that even at this advanced period of civilization and after so many years of sad experiences, people were still foolish enough to try, against all odds, to beat trains over crossings. His lecture was cut short by a small hoy who crawled out of the auto and called out excitedly, Ma and pa aint hurt much, only pa bumped ' lis nose. The conductor and the man who sold peanuts and candy on the train, the, latter I recognized as Robert Rudd, pulled pa and ma out of the car. There, much to my surprise, I beheld two of my old classmates, namely, Gaylord Mullet and Sarabel Capp. Neither was seriously injured and after wishing them much success I climbed back into the train and was soon on my way. At the next station a most familiar personage boarded the train whom I remembered as the Rev. Roscoe F. Wilson, of the class of ' 24. He informed me he was going back to the old home town to hold a series of revival meetings, and as T had plenty of time I decided to stop at Butler and, perhaps, see some of my old acquaintances. Deacon Miller, Russell Miller without the title, was at the train to meet us. From the station we proceeded to the Motel Butler where we were both heartily received by my host Henry Punk and his fjood wife, formerly Miss Margaret Kuss. After a short visit with Henry and Margaret, 1 made my way to the church where Rev. Wilson was to conduct the services. I entered, found a seat and began looking at the crowd, hoping to see a familiar face. I was much surprised at the size of the choir and orchestra, but most all to see Kate Mavis nee Gehring playing first violin and Queen THE BUTLER HIGH SCPIOOL Blair, piano. I received another jolt when Charles Sehramn took his place as leader of the choir. I also learned that Ervin Norris was holding down the position of janitor. Rumor reported that although not altogether satisfied with his present situation his intentions were to hold it until something better turned up. Further information revealed the fact that James Cather, through his honesty, integrity and business ability was allowed to take up the collections. What great changes time will bring about. The truth of this statement was fairly thrown in. my face when I learned that Butler had. long ago been made the county seat. Upon inquiry I learned that the Spring term of court was to open on the following day with Earl McDonald as Judge of this district. To make my visit in Butler one of nothing but pleasure, I could not afford to miss anything of interest to me so most certainly I must visit Judge McDonald ' s court. The newly elected sheriff, Mary Carpenter, seemed to be performing her duties in a very satisfactory manner — judging from; the arrests she had made. Case after case was disposed of by the wily old Judge, most of them divorce cases, which goes to prove matrimonial difficulties were not all con- fined to the early days when moonshine and bathing beauties were in vogue. The last case on the docket was that of Paul Wagoner, one of my old classmates, who seemed to have strayed away ; a lost sheep that had wandered far from the rest of the flock, had fallen into one of life ' s numerous pit-falls and this was perhaps his last, day of freedom. He was a pitiful looking character, sullen, haggard and worn from days and nights of watchful waiting. His downward glance and evasive manner fairly proved him to be a criminal. Our most esteemed and honored. classmate had been arrested and had plead guilty to the charge of playing marbles for keeps. I sincerely hoped, from the depths of my heart, that the jury would be easy on him. At my tiist glance at that worthy group my spirits began to rise, for among them I recognized my former classmates, Ivol McClellan, Adelle Oberlin, Ruth and Dorothy Haverstock, Kathryn Cather, the Deacon Miller and Loren Teutsch. At length, after a heated discussion, by both attorneys — one for and the other against capital punishment, the jury ad- journed. The crowded court room waited in breathless silence. After fourteen hours of agony and suspense, a faint sound was heard — 24— TKOPAEUM from the jury room — a murmur as if all were repealing something in unison. Could it be they were pronouncing the death sentence. The voices grew louder and louder. Soon they were quite audible in the outer room. How beautiful those voices sounded to me! How good it seemed, to be near old friends! How much sweeter they must have sounded to Paul. After the voices ceased and he was pronounced not guilty these words kept ringing thru my head. And here ' s a hand, my trusty frien ' And gie ' s a hand o ' thine We ' ll take a cup o ' kindness yet For atild lane syne. SL-o £........;... . ..;.-.. .... ; . ..... ...

They clung to-gether in a frightened group, glaring suspiciously at any upper classmen who dared come near them. They elected the following officers and started out on their troubles • President - Lawrence Blaker Vice President - Lavon Mavis Secretary-Treasurer - - - Lillian Hiatt The class chose purple and gold for their class colors, the violet was their class flower and Pep and grit win for their motto. Miss Gares was class teacher. The first party they had was a weiner roast at Showalter ' s woods and everybody enjoyed it. The class then broke up in May, but during their vacation they had a party at Enfields park. Some were not there, but it was enjoyed by all. The class met again in September and found that they had lose twelve of their members. They elected the following officers: President ----- Lavon Mavis Vice President - - - Helen Staley Secretary ----- Dorothy Clark Treasurer - Frederick Gengnagel Miss Leigh was chosen as our class teacher. The first party was a pot luck supper at the school house and enjoyed by everyone. They remained silent for a while on account of the president ' s illness, but soon took up their work again. Their next party was a weiner roast at Gypsy hill and all had a splendid time. The class then broke up in May to meet again in September to find that a few more had dropped out. We elected, our officers cs usual villi: President ----- Lavon Mavis Vice President - Howard Funk- Secretary - - - . Lawrence Blaker Treasurer ----- Helen Staley The president has left us and the vice president has taken his place. We have been very silent this year but have still kept up the old fight. —SI— THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL TROPAEUM |... ... . .......... SOPHOMORE CLASS Left to right, back row: EL Powell, N. Norris, L.

It did not take us long to fall into the- sway of the high school life but the strangest of all was the way in which our upper- class mates treated; us. According to the customs we held a business meeting to elect officers: President - Fred Mondhank Vice President ' - - - - Walter Rank Secretary ------ Hida Coll Treasurer - Joyce Bonecutter We chose national blue and steel gray as our class colors, American Beauty rose as our flower, and Not at the top but climbing ' ' fori our motto. Mr. Fleenor was our class teacher. We were well represented in all activities. We had the honor of lead- ing the list on the honor roll and have thus continued to hold that honor this year. Last September we came back with the same old spirit but some of our band had deserted us. There were forty-one of us who had come back and some new ones joined us, so we were a large enough class to make people sit up and take notice. At our first meeting we elected officers as follows : President - Walter Rank- Secretary - Margaret Ames Treasurer - Joyce Bonecutter We chose Miss Travis as our class teacher. We were well represented in basket-ball this year and proud of the fact we produced some good players. Many of our classmates belong to the Hi-Y and Blue Triangle Clubs which goes to prove we are well respected and admired. Thus two years of our high school career has flown and we are rejoic- ing but still a little sad. After two more years of fun, frolic and work, we will be ready to battle our way into the deep and misty paths, of life. — M. W.

The last half of the term we were kept busy getting ready for a play named Cinderella which was given on the school grounds. We started the next fall in the second grade with Miss Laura Branson as our teacher, who was loved by all of us. Our third year passed by very uneventfully with Miss Bernice Day for our teacher. We started our fourth year with Miss Lucile Waterman to teach us new events. We had an operetta named Snow White which war, enjoyed by the citizens. Miss Alda Mumaw targht r.s the next year during which we had many interesting spelling contests. Our departmental work began in the sixth grade with Mr. Sh ' .iley Barkey for our teacher, and others. We had another operetta entitled The Runaway Sunbeam. ' ' Mr. John Moore was our teacher in the seventh grade. Last fall, thirty pupils started to school in the eighth grade very en- thusiastic to graduate this spring. Mr. W. CI.

Upon returning to school after the holidays, we moved from the old eighth grade room to the old High School assembly room with the 6th and 7th grades to keep us company. This now makes all of our departmental grades together. We had a spelling contest between the girls and the boys in which the t irls won and the boys had to treat us to a supper. They bad it at Charles Ilerrman ' s home, March 6th, The party was well conducted and a good supper was served. The seventh and eighth grade girls started a basket ball team with Miss ' Capp as our coach. We only played three games out of town and, the fresh- man girls. We lost them all. The seventh and eighth grade Boys ' team played 24 games, winning 16 and losing 8. Their mothers gave them a banquet at the home of Paul Oberlin, April 2nd which was greatly enjoyed by the boys. The eighth grade started a fly contest with many prizes offered. This contest later was extended to include all grades. At the end of our eighth grade year only eleven remained.

This enterprise was carried out by the Junior class of that year. 11 was a decide;! success, both financially and literariiy. The name Fortnight ' ' was adopted because of the date of publication of file paper. The next year the paper was published by members of the entire school, each class having two subordinate reporters, the others members of the staff being chosen from the three upper classes. The Junior class published the Fortnight the following year, and it seems they enjoyed their undertaking for it was through their influence that the Fortnight publication was granted to the Junior class of each year. The staff of 1923.-24 has tried, like all before it. to make its paper a good one. The members heartily appreciate the support of the business men of Butler, and the various contributions id ' those outside the staff.

The Lecture Course To develop our Aesthetic sense and to free us from the petty detail and sordid monotony of our every day life we must satisfy our hunger for good music and quench our thirst for wholesome amusements. This has been the accomplishment of the Morgan Lyceum Bureau, which conducted a Lecture U $$ $4 $xS $ $ 4 $ 4 S ....... .1 —53— THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL Course through the patronage of Butler citizens this year. All of the partici- pants were highly gifted with marvelous talent and gave live evenings of delightful entertainment. The first number was a lecture on modern civilization and its lack of ideals by Dr. Raymond Tolbert who delivered a burning challenge on some of the issues that are so far reaching to their effect upon our national society. His was a simple, clear and fearless discussion which made the audience search their own life in its relation to a land they call their own. The second number was The Mollusc a comedy drama presented by four professional actors who delighted and pleased us in every way. House- hold cares and business worries were forgotten in two hours of laughter, but behind each laugh there was an idea and back of it all a worthy moral. The Alexander Novelty Four, of which, J. P. Alexander, well-known artist, is manager, presented a program of almost unbelievable variety which usually requires the services of seven or eight people. The program consisted of remarkable instrumental effects interspersed with vocal, instrumental and whistling solos together with humorous character impersonations. The music was novel and original in the form of solos, duets, trios, and quartets using the popular saxophones, mellophones, violin, banjo, ukulele, piano, the Hawiian steel guitar and Spanish guitar. As this was the initital performance in But- ler ' s new gymnasium, encore after encore was given in order to give the hear- ers an overfull evening ' s entertainment. They certainly did. Miss Mary Bryan. Powers, soprano and Miss Nelle Snider, pianist and reader gave the fourth number which consisted of music, delightful read- ing and entertainment. The songs, which were mostly classical set souls a thrilling with their tender melody and rapturous intensity. The instrumental numbers were both classical and late numbers and the comedy readings brought forth peals of laughter. The ability of Miss Snider as a reader and portrayer of character was displayed in the delineation of The Three Wise Fools which has had such remarkable success on the stage. Lastly, but by far the least in sense of pleasure was the evening spent with Miss Lura Forbes, reader and impersonator who filled every minute with intense emotion. Her audience forgot that they were an audience or that she was an impersonator. Her style was frank and unaffected as her manner was gracious and her skill was as high in tragedy as in. comedy. Her short read- ings portrayed the most common and most comical stories of life, ller rare ability as a. reader was displayed in the reading of the play, Lightnin ' which has been shown with such remarkable success on the stage in the past season. —r -i— TROPAEUM I i —55— TROPAEUM The Parent- Teachers ' Association L. F. COOPBE The Parent-Teachers 1 Association, which is now closing its third year of activity, has become a recognized factor in the school life. It is one of the sources through which the public gains information concerning the school activi- ties and child-welfare. There are one hundred seventy-six active members. Be- cause of the interest manifested an amendment was made to the constitution changing the time of meeting from once every six weeks to the third Wednesday evening of each month. The first meeting of the year was ai reception held in honor of the teach- ers. Music was furnished by the Ladies ' Band and refreshments were served. November twenty-first was visiting day, w ilh the regular meeting following. A large number of patrons and friends visited the various grades. This meet- ing was in charge of the women. The December meeting was in charge of the grade teachers. A Christmas Play was given by the students of the grades under the supervision of Miss Bowen. The January meeting, which was the men ' s meeting, was very interesting. Special music was furnished by the Blaker quartette, also by Robert Ghering and David Wayne Blaker. All meet- ings of the year were well attended. A committee composed of the members of the association weighed and measured the children several times during the year. The association made it possible for milk to be given to those who were under-weight and unable to pay for it. Through the efforts of the members a: rest room has been nicely furnished. Several other important projects relating to the welfare of the school are under consideration. The officers of the Parent-Teachers ' Association for the year are: President - Mr. L. P. Cooper Vice President - - - Mrs. John Lowe Secretary-treasurer - Miss Alda Mumaw Mrs. W. P. Endicott is chairman of the program committee; Mrs. Jesse Oberlin of the membership committee; Mrs. Willard Smurr of the milk committee ; and Mrs. John Lowe is chairman of the publishing committee. —57— THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL v H H oHS ' M.JjmT ' •; ;V P 1 j % • D F ' f ' w ImF - B [ 9 jflfcl ■r 3L ' JeW ' j ' v ■ r jE B l K. ! j Sw « j Nn ji Ml ) fl(JV K Fd ' ' -3K8.

THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL Local and District Contest The talent from Butler High School contested on March 7. On account of there being no contestants against the quartette, piano solo, or the discus- sion there was left only the soloists to be judged. Under these circumstances it was decided that the local contest be held before students of B. H. S. in our assembly at 3 :10. Those who entered for solos were : Helen Oberlin, Kathryn Smith and Esther Telschow. It was decided that we have Mr. King Oberlin, Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Robert White for judges. There was a very unusual happening at this contest, for when Mr. For- ney read the judges report, there had been no decision made. All were tied. It was then decided to have a contest on Monday afternoon, March 10, at 4:00 o ' clock with just the judges, Mr. Forney Miss Bowen and contestants present. Also new judges were selected who were as follows: Mrs. W. Smurr. Mrs. Long, and Mrs. W. Mutzfeld. It seemed very easy for the decision to be rendered; this time. Results of this contest were: (1st) Esther Telschow, (2nd) Kathryn Smith. (3rd) Helen Oberlin. Next was the district contest which was held on the evening of March 14, in Methodist Church Auditorium at Auburn. In this Butler taking first place in two events. The Auburn High School orchestra played several numbers before the contest and during the suspense of waiting for the decision of the judges. We were all glad for their music — Music hath! charms to srothe — It did! and their numbers were well given. The program 1 opened with the orations and Auburn was successful in taking first place. Garrett second. Garrett also had a very fine selection in their quartette. The voices blended well and their number was good. The Butler quartette number was very well given. In the piano solos there was no doubt as to the outcome as Hilda Coil ' s number was easily recognized as the highest class of music, and it was given with the utmost ease. In the vocal numbers Auburn took first, Garrett se«-ond and Butler third. In the discussion, Earl McDonald of Butler received first place. The content of his constructive speech showed knowledge of his subject. His delivery was good. The delivery in the other discussions was poor. The winners of the district contest met in Auburn, Friday evening, March 21. —66— TROPAEUM The discussion was won by Keith Delong of Ashley. St. Joe received second place and Butler third. The piano solo was won by Waterloo, although the selection rendered by Butler was excellent. We hope to win next year. Boys ' Basket Ball Banquet On Friday evening, April 4, at seven o ' clock the boys basket ball squad gave a banquet in honor of their coach, Mr. Fleenor. A four course dinner was served, consisting of cheese and olive conape ' , roast chicken, oyster dress- ing, mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed cauliflower, pickles and rolls, fruit salad and wafers, chocolate pie with whipped cream. After the banquet, Capt. Telschow made a short talk and presented Mr. Fleenor with ' a fountain pen as a token of the team ' s appreciation for the things he had done for the team. In response Mr. Fleenor thanked the squad for the gift and the sacri- fices they had made. Several ballots were taken to elect a Captain for next year but as no one received a majority it was decided to postpone the election a few days. Latin Club, B. H. S., ' 24 A preliminary meeting of the Latin students of the Freshman and Sopho- more classes was held March 20, 1024, for the purpose of organizing a Latin Club. The purpose of this Club is to enable the students to become familiar with such subjects as the daily life of the Romans, mythology and others all of which cannot be obtained in the regular class work. In addition to the instructive phase a part of the program each time is merely for entertainment but always along Latin lines. The following officers were elected : President - Joyce Bonecutter Vice President ----- Floy Ulm Secretary-Treasurer - - - Hilda Coll The first regular meeting was held March 26. 1924 in the Latin room. After a short business session the following program was given : The Roman Family and Name Miss Travis Marriage and.

At the conclusion of the program a social hour ensued, the most im- portant part of which was the refreshments which consisted of ice cream and cake, wherein the Latin student has the advantage over Caesar as he knew of no such delicacies. Pres. J. B. Freshman Class Parties The first party of the freshman class was held at Raymond Snyder ' s, home Hallow ' een evening. Every body was masked and prizes were given to the best and the funniest dressed. Later refreshments were served and the party broke up at 10:30. An evening of fun was enjoyed by all. The second party was held at Ernest Hiatt ' s, Valentine evening. The house was neatly decorated with hearts and a large A ' alentine box added to its beauty. Every body received a valentine. Games were played and a pot- luck supper was enjoyed. Party disbanded at 10 :30 C. D. 27. Sophomore Social Function The Sophomores have had only one party so far this year, but it was one never to be forgotten,. It was a surprise party on Irene Gunsenhouser, and it proved to be a great surprise. It was a pot-luck supper and as usual we all took our hearty appetites with us. Such a meal as we had — thanks to Mrs. Gunsenhouser. The table groaned with food. After our splendid feed, we spent the remainder of the evening in dancing and playing games. At a late hour we started home declaring it was an evening well spent. M. W. ' 2(i —68— TKOPAEUM The Junior- Senior Banquet The Junior-Senior Banquet was held May 4, 1923, in the basement of the Methodist church, which was very beautifully d ecorated in the Senior colors, — Old Rose and Silver. Ivol McClellan, President of the Junior Class, most heartily welcomed the Seniors and the faculty, after which Wayne Hendricks, President of the Senior Class, gave an able response. An orchestra, consisting- of Ora Blaker, as pianist, Mr. Steelsmith, with the saxophone, and Floyd Raney with the violin, rendered some excellent music and helped much toward making- the evening a successful one. Mr. Forney, our much respected Superintendent, acted as Toastmaster of the evening, and as he introduced each speaker, likened them to some famous person. Henry Funk was likened to ex-President Roosevelt, after which lie gave a short talk, with Square Deal as his subject. Laura Stroh was likened to Ruth, and gave a short talk on Loyalty. Miss Gares was likened to Galli Curci. Her subject was Music. Earl McDonald was likened to Ex-President Taft, and talked on Law. Mr. Fleenor, our worthy coach, was likened to Fielding H. Yost, Director of Athletics in the University of Michigan, and gave us a fine talk on Ath- letics. George Ocker was likened to Larry Seeman and made a distinctly bright spot in the evening with his talk on Humor. The Junior Class regretted to say good-bye to their Senior friends, wishing them prosperity as they stepped forth from Butlei High ; and at the same time were looking forward to when they advance, with dignity, to grace the same position in life. Thus another year has ended, We ' ve drank to our loved ones ' health, Let no darkness over-shadow Their opportunities for wealth. Not wealth, in terms of money. Nor as we think of it in gold, — But wealth of souls and character, Which keeps us young, — not old. So in the bright hereafter, When with our dear ones we commune, There ' ll be no regrets to trouble, And our hearts shall be in tune. R. H. ' 24. — 69— THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL Basket Ball Team Honored On Thursday night December sixth a banquet was given by the faculty to the girls and boys basket ball teams in recognition of their splendid fighting- spirit and good sportsmanship. Place cards representing members of the teams were laid for twenty-five. Mr. Fleenor, our coach, was toastmaster and between courses of the banquet introduced each speaker with a funny story. A quaint menu of Tropical Roosters, river-chicken-in-a-mound, Murphy- banged-up, verdant letters-in-a-fix, goats-in-aetion, what-fat-people-do-to-re- duce, green grass with clothes on, baked sweetness, and I-scream was served. Those present were : Capp, Sucher, Wood, L. Hiatt, Clarke, McClintoe, War- ford, E. ancT H. Bryan, Telschow. Rank, Blaker, Wideman, Miller, E. Hiatt, Mullett, Kissinger, Rosenberry, Keep, Travis, McBrien, Bowen, Goodrich. Jeffers, and Coach Fleenor. —70— TROPAEUM The Butler Alumni Association As we think back over oar happy sehool days, we fondly think of our old classmates who did so much to make school the school that it was. We wonder how far they have wandered from the dear old Alma Mater. From Canada to the Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, somewhere some gradu- ate of B. H. S. has made his home. We wonder if they are still a credit to the old school, and as we recall their hopes and ambitions, we wonder how nearly they have realized them. We have endeavored to collect this information, as nearly correct as possible, and have placed it in our record of the Alumni so that a few of these questions in our minds may be answered. We hope that those who come after us will perfect and add to this record. A banquet given each year by the Alumni is in honor of the Senior Class and serves also, as a rendezvous for B. TT. S. ' s Alumni. The officers of; the Alumni Association are: President ----- Frank Ramey Secretary Marjorie Graf Treasurer ------ Otis Fisher %_-. Name Alumni Directory O. Z.

FLEENOR, Coach .Mr. Fleenor has proved to be a good coach this year. His theory was: Good Sportsmanship — Win or Lose, lie is re- sponsible for the glass back boards that hang in the gym, and for the new suits that the boys wore this year, for which he deserves much credit. Yea! Ray! Yea! Fleenor! Yea! Yea! Rav Fleenor! LEWIS TELSCHOW Captain and Center. Junior. Lewie held down the pivot position for his second year, and was a very valuable man. He is the tallest man on the team and got the tip-off most of the time. He led the team in the number of points scored and much is expect- ed of him next year. It is said that he has a tendency to stray over in the south part of town oc- casionally. m •! S- ■ • • - «■ • sxexSx$xsxsx£3 s«jKS s e t- • •■ GA,YLORD MULLETT Guard. Senior. Beef was an old player at guard and was the backbone of the defense. He also came down the floor to make many points. He had the honor of not missing - a single practice aven though he was handicapped with injuries at times. Gaylord was one of the best fighters on the team and al- ways to the last whistle. We dis- like very much to say g-ood bye. He can be found in the vicinity of North Broadway. RUSSELL MILLER Guard. Senior. Russ was called upon to fill all positions on the team ' and al- ways had the old fight. Russ is a senior this year and will be missed when next season comes along. He had the best scholastic record of any man on the squad. ALBERT WIDEMAN Guard. Junior. Al earned a regular place on the team and played a good con- sistent game. He was often shift- ed to forward or center 1o sti engthea the offense and scored many points. Al was slowed up during the latter part of the sea- son with injuries but will be back again next year fighting for his old position. Me is also often found wandering towards the northern part of the city. LAWRENCE BLAKER Forward. Junior. Blake was a good man to carry the ball down the floor and ecmes third in the number of points scored eve J though he did not play in three games. Lary was a conscientious trainer, a good sport, always fighting- and should be one of the main stays on next year ' s team. He has but one short coming and sometimes he forgets — to go see her. !••••••• •-•■-•- • • • •■•■• • •■ WALTER RANK Forward. Sophomore. Ranky is the smallest man on the team but a harder fighter never wore the Green and Gold. He comes second in the number of points scored and has the hon- or of playing in forty.-orte con- secutive games. Walt ' ' was a good Moor: worker, always a good sport, and had a good eye for the basket, but if is said that an au- burn haired queen from Ohio claims many of his Sunday even- ings. CLYDE ROSENBERRY Guard. Junior. Rosy was as hard a worker as there was on the team and was always ready when the call came. He developed rapidly and should prove a valuable man next year. He didn ' t seem to have any great weakness but delighted in chat- ting with a certain bobbed haired Freshman girl. LEWIS KISSINGER Guard. Sophomore. Kissy was new at the court game but his rapid development towards the end of the season should gain him a place on the squad next year. He made one of the best shots of the year in the Harlan game when he dropped the leather through the net at long range. Kissy, it is rumor- ed has also visited in Ohio but we couldn ' t say why. ARTHUR JENKS Center. Senior. Jiggs tried his hand at the net game for the first time and due to his height was a hard man to keep from getting the tip-off. He was a difficult man to guard and a good loing range shooter. Art could always be counted on for practice and the squad loses a valuable man as he is a senior. Jiggs hasn ' t fallen yet but he came very near at the tournament. —85— THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL Summary of Boys 1 Basket Ball Games Inter-Class Tournament The Juniors defeated the Freshmen, while the Seniors defeated the Sophomores in the inter-class Tourney held at the beginning of the year. The final game between the Juniors and Seniors was fiercely fought the Juniors making 6 points the first half while the Seniors were unable to score at all. In the second half the Seniors showed their fighting spirit by holding the Juniors scoreless, but lacked the ability to make just one basket, thus the final score stood 6-4 in favor of the Juniors. Oct. 26. Butler Opens Season Wi : .h A Win No team would rather win over Butler than Waterloo, but they wore completely outclassed by us on their own floor. The scoring aces for Butler were: Capt. Telschow with 9 points: Wideman 4; Blaker 2; Mullett 2; Rank 1 ; Miller 1. The final score was 19-7 in favor of B. H .S. Nov. 2. Butler at Spencerville We Avon th ' s game against great odds. The referee employed by Spencerville was inefficient and appeared to be lop-sided, for he failed to see the hooking of the Spencerville team, but had an excellent eye for fouls made by our team. At one time the score was tied, and things looked dark for Duller until we applied the reserve strength and came through witii a victory. Those who scored were: Telschow 15; Rank 4; Wideman 4; Blaker ' 2; Mullett 1. Nov. 9. Butler at Harlan Harlan has one of the fastest teams in this section. Butler, however, started the game off with a rush and Rank made four points before Harlan could score. Harlan ' s teamwork put them ahead, and made the final score read 23-13 in their favor. Rank received 10 points; Mullett 2: lliatt 1. The Harlan fellows treated us with much respect and courtesy. Nov. 17. Butler at Hamilton In a hard fought game Hamilton outscored the Butler boys but did not out fight them. Butler was unable to connect with the basket, the low ceiling being a great handicap to them. Fee, was Hamilton ' s star. The final score stood 14-7 in Hamilton ' s favor. Point makers: Telschow 3; Blaker 2; Wideman 1 ; Mullett 1. —86— TBOPAEUM Waterloo at Butler B. H. S. dedicated their new gym in a very impressive way before a large crowd, by defeating their old rivals, Waterloo, by the score of 26-12. Telschow featured with 7 field baskets. Bratton refereed his first game here and proved his efficiency.- Telschow 14 points : Rank 5 ; Wideman 5 ; Mullelt 2. LaGrange at Butler Butler lost a hard fought game to the fast LaGrange quintet by the score of 35-19. Butler held their own until 0. Lewis, The B. B. Kid, was substituted and then they steadily pulled away from us. The LaGrange coach was heard to remark that the Butler hoys were the best losers they had overplayed against. Points made by Telschow 12; Rank 4; Mulletf 2; Wide- man 1. Hamilton at Butler Butler being without the services of Telschow and Blaker and tirtd from the hard game with LaGrange the night before, we were outscored by Hamilton by the score of 18-11. For Butler Wideman, Mullett, and Rank played best. Sooresi were made by Wideman 5; Rank 4; Mullett 2. Pleasant Lake at Butler Butler lost to Pleasant Lake in a slow game by the score of 24-2S. But- ler played like a whirlwind the first 5 minutes and led by a score of 15-8. Pleas- ant Lake Pepped up the last half and won. The scorers for B. H. S. were: Telschow 10; Blaker 6; Rank 2; Wideman 3; Mullett 3. Nov. 23. Angola vs Butler at Angola Butler opened the game by passing the ball all around Angola and soon the score was 7-0 in our favor. We, not being used to playing on such a large floor were winded and Angola was able to make several more baskets than we did the last half. The final score was 55-29. Telschow came through with 16 points; Wideman 4; Rank 3; Mullett 3; Blaker 2. Nov. 28. Butler at Auburn The Butler boys lost their Pep for some unknown, reason and could not hold the ball, and Auburn piled up a final score of 41-22 on us. Telschow made 9 points, Rank 6; Blaker 4; Wideman 3. Dec. 21. Butler at LaGrange Without practice Butler journeyed to LaGrange and were walloped at the hands of LaGrange by a score of 51-11. The point makers were : Telschow 3; Wideman 8. —87— THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL Feb. 8. Butler at Ashley This game was a very exciting- one. Butler started with a rush and soon led 7-0. The score at the end of the first half was 10-12 in favor of But- ler. Ashley came back strong the second half, but the Butler boys kept in the lead. At the end the score was 20-15 in our favor. Telsehow made 11 points; Rank 5; Blaker 2; Wideman 2. Feb. 13. Harlan at Butler In this game we defeated Harlan by a score of 26-15.

Feb. 15. Auburn at Butler Auburn again walloped us, with a score of 44-13. The game was much better than the score indicates. Auburn played a short passing game and had fine luck hitting the basket. Scorers for Butler: Telsehow 6; Blaker 4; Rank 2; Mullett 1. Feb. 16. Spencerville at Butler Butler took sweet revenge on Spencerville and beat them 14-9. Our defense was excellent and Spencerville secured only one field basket the second half. The scorers were: Blaker 8; Wideman 5; Kissinger 1. Feb. 23. Angola at Butler Inability to hit free-throws cost Butler this game. The game was very Tough, 23 personals being called. The final score was 15-25.

Rank came through with 10 points; Tclschow 10; Blaker 4; Wideman 4. District Tournament The District Tournament was held at Angola. Butler was defeated their first game by Salem. The game was a fast one, but Salem had the ad- vantage as they were used to Angola ' s big floor, as they used it as their practice floor all winter. The final score was 22-17. The games were all very interesting. Garrett and Angola played the finals which resulted in a victory for Angola. Kendallville at Butler Kendallville came to Butler with a large crowd of rooters — determined to win.

Mr. Fleenor, who has always been a booster for fair- play and good sportsmanship originated the idea of giving a medal to encour- age good sportsmanship in the class room, and on the street, as well as on the basketball court. The award is to be made annually by a committee con- sisting of the following personnel with voting power as follows: Director of Athletics - 5 votes Each letter man for the year - - 1 vote Each high school teacher - - - 1 vote Editor of Pornight 1 vote Referee -------- 1 vote The points to be considered are the individual ' s attitude towards op- ponents, teammates, coach, officials, training rules, teachers, school work, school mates, and fellow man. At a meeting of the committee held ' the first of March, the trophy was awarded to Walter Rank, who is a Sophomore and Captain-elect for the 1924- 25 season. He has played in forty-one consecutive games and this year was second in the number of points with eighty-one to his credit. —90— TROPAEUM • ' ,...

G ' rls this year. This was the first year that the Butler girls have ever had suits, and this was due to Miss Travis ' determinination to have our team show up as well as other teams. We received many compliments on them, every place we played. Yea ! Flossie ! Yea ! Travis ! Yea ! Yea ! Flossie Travis! ELIZABETH BRYAN Capt. Forward and Center. Junior. As captain of the team Eliza- beth was always on the job. She is the only player who had the honor of playing in every game and hasn ' t a single foul against her. Her unselfish playing and good sportsmanship won the ad- miration of all. We know that at least one Junior admired her and presumably still does. LILLIAN HIATT Forward. Junior. Lillian, th e midget of the team started the season with a bang- but was unfortunate enough to be able to play in only half the games. She always displayed real fighting spirit on the floor. When forced to quit on account of ill- health she still showed her spirit by being a loyal rooter. Her en- thusiasm carried over to the boys ' team with a certain tall guard as her main incentive. I« s $ • • -I DOROTHY MILLIMAN Guard. Freshman. Dorothy proved to be a very faithful sub and although she played in only two games this season the future is still before her. She and her freshman sisters ought to show us a good team next year. Dorothy aspires to be as good a guard as Lewie ' is a center. ROSALIE WARFORD Guard. Sophomore. Rosalie was always ready to till the position of guard when called upon. Although she played in only three games we knew we could depend upon her, a mark of good sportsmanship. She has two more years ahead of her. As far as we know (but we may be mistaken) no one man has been able to captivate her heart. NELLIE MOORE Guard. Freshman. Nellie is another freshman who promises to be a star player with- in the next three years. Nellie is little but mighty and always went on the floor with the determina- tion to keep her forward from scoring and she usually did. Nel- lie has not tripped yet but men with cars seem to attract. FLORENCE MAGGERT Forward. Freshman. Florence won a place as for- ward on the team toward the lat- ter part of the season where she showed up remarkably well. We like her shooting and are glad that we can count on her for three more years. In this the president of the freshman class heartily agrees with us. —03— HELEN BRYAN Forward. Freshman. Helen, the baby of the team, made her debut at Spencerville in the second game of the season where she showed her colors by making- seven of the nineteen points. As she is only a freshman and with sister Lizzie to guide her we expect much from her next year. Helen, good at ath- letics also bids fair to captivate many a heart. MARGARET McCLINTOC Side Center. Sophomore. Margaret played real basket ball at side center but her ability and cooperative spirit made it possible for her to be shifted to other positions. As proof of this one had only to sec her at guard in the last two games she played for Butler High. We were all mighty sorry t o see her return to South Side. Were we not, Lewis? MARY WOOD Side Center. Sophomore. Mary was right there when it came to filling the position of side center. A better fighter nev- er set foot on a basket ball floor. The team suffered a severe loss when she was forced to give up playing on account of a broken wrist. Next to basket ball Mary ' s main interest is banking, or strict- ly speaking, bankers. FAYE HAYERSTOCK Side Center. Junior. When we were in, need of a side center, Faye, who had been wait- ing patiently to show what she could do, was ready to fill the place. But as she is a Junior we can count on her only one more year. Besides school work and basket ball Faye is quite busy looking after a certain freshman. TROPAEUM 44 I .

Butler vs Waterloo— 10-11 In this, our first game, we were out-scored the first half by the small score of 3-9, but the second half the girls came back determined. This was cur first experience on a floor this year but the game ended with a score of 10-11 in favor of Waterloo. Waterloo almost met their Waterloo. Butler made all their points from foul line. Nov. 2. Butler at Spencerville — 19-4 The girls aiain showed their ability as B. B. players. Helen Bryan deserves much credit as in this, her first game, she made 7 of the 19 points. The game ended 19-4 in favor of Butler. Nov. 9. Butler at Harlan— 10-5 Again our girls showed their superiority and played a good clean game. Half ended 4-2 in our favor. The second half started with lots of pep on both sides, but our girls outscored their opponents 10-5. AVe were im- pressed by the good sportsnuinship of the Harlan girls. Nov. 17. Butler at Hamilton— 10-5 With lots of pep our girls went into this game and came out with an- other victory. E. Bryan made all the field goals. McOlintic played well in Wood ' s place. Nov. 24. Butler at Angola— 9-2 Alas! Our girls ' met their Waterloo at Angola. On account of the large floor we were unable to keep up with Angola ' s team work, but we held them down to the small score of 9-2. Nov. 28. Butler at Auburn— 110-2 We initiated our new suits in this game to the tune of 1 10-2. We have received lots of razzing on this game, but we have taken it in a good sports- manlike way. Jeffers is still wondering why w T e couldn ' t sing the next Mon- day morning. Jan. 12. Waterloo at Butler— 3-10 This was our first game in the new gym. We were greatly handicapped by lack of practice, but nevertheless played a good game. The final score stood 3-10 in favor of Waterloo. «• • — 9 3— TROPAEUM Jan. 19. Hamilton at Butler — 6-2 For the second time we conquered our old rivals. Three of the regu- lars — Wood, Hiatt, and Barker (nee Sucher) were absent from the lineup due to marriage and ill health. Butler forwards had hard luck, shooting baskets but succeeded in winning by 4 points, 6-2. Kendallville at Butler— 52-0 It seems that the girls were out of luck ' in this game, as they were unable to connect with the basket even once. They were without the support of Kuss and Capp, so the lineup, with the exception of E. Bryan and Helen Bryan, was practically an unexperienced one. The final score was 52-0 in favor of K ' ville. Feb. 8. Butler at Ashley— 20-9 This game was played on Ashley ' s new floor, which is a fine one. The girls showed up well and the ol« fighting spirit was evident throughout the game. Florence Maggert played for the first time, and she showed up well, making three field baskets the first half. The girls lost out the second half, and were defeated 20-9. Feb. 13. Harlan at Butler— 17-8 The girls again defeated Harlan. The game was well fought for on both sides, and clean tactics were shown all through the game. The final was 17-8 in our favor. % —97— ■ ••••♦•• THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR HIGH TEAM Left to right, standing: Poffenberger, Dean, Beebe, Mountz, Oberlin, Capt., Deck, R. Moughler, Loomis.

The final game showed that we had won 16 out of 24 games played. We played all the teams in this county, three in adjacent counties and two teams from Ohio. Reverses were encountered from time to time, but all obstacles were quickly pushed aside, and the team moved on from victory to victory, except for a defeat now and then when luck seemed entirely against us. Oberlin, Dean, Looniis, Mountz, and Deck started the season as the regulars, with Poffenberger, Bee.be, Milliman and W. Moughler as subs. Later on R. Moughler, Haverstock, and J. Campbell joined the sub ?quad. We used the out-door court and Wright ' s store room for practice until the Gym was ready. The early morning hour from 6 :45 to 8 :15 was allotted us for our practice time and the boys got down to business in earnest. They proved faithful to their task, getting up by six o ' clock on those cold, winter mornings to be in time for practice. There was no grumbling or complaining. In fact, Dean became so determined to secure all the practice possible, that he came to the gym on a few unauthorized occasions, and became ineligible. At the same time, Deck left us to enter the Irene Byron Sanitarium. This severely crippled our team for a while, but Poffenberger and R. Moughler soon whipped into shape and our losing streak was ended. Herrman next joined the squad. He soon replaced Poffenberger, who, although a very good little player was too light to cope with the players on some of our larger opposing teams. Near the close of the season, A. Miller and Shumaker came out as subs, and although they did not get in any of our regular games promise to be good material for next year. Paul Kissinger was our faithful scorer and time keeper, and practiced some with us. All in all, the boys showed tine sportsmanship, played good team work, and above all kept their grades above the average. Their final meeting was in the form of a banquet at the home of Paul Oberlin, April 2, with Prof. Forney, Mr. Staley and Mr. AVoodcox as guests. ■••■• .- .-.-. . . . i —100— TROPAEUM Individual Scoring Record Player Field Foul Total Fouls Number Goals Goals Points Committed of Games Oberlin, Paul 43 14 100 37 23 Dean, Howard 21 23 . 65 17 14 Loomis, Drayton 26 8 60 4 24 Mountz, Walter 16 23 55 27 23 Deck, Donald 3 o 9 2 16 Poffenberger, Rob. 6 1 13 1 12 Moughler, Ralph 5 3 13 16 14 Moughler, Wilbur 1 2 1 2 Beebe, Keith 1 2 2 5 Herrman, Chas. 1 1 3 3 Campbell, John 2 Haverstock, John 1 Milliman, Harold o 1 Total 122 76 320 110 24 —101— —102 TBOPAEUM I dalntfmr- Stakes I n $ $ $  4 i § M -103- f x x S S xJ-f ' ? • ?l THE BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL B s $ SK? $x jxe exexs 3xsxSKSx B.
