We elected the following officers: President...........................Laurence Blaker Vice President.........................Lavon Mavis Secretary and Treasurer - - - Lillian Hiatt “Pep and Grit Win,” was our motto; purple and gold, our colors; and the Violet our flower. During the year we enjoyed a winner roast at Showalter’s wood and in vacation a picnic at Enfield’s Park. The next September we numbered twelve less. We elected our officers: President..............................Lavon Mavis Vice President.........................Helen Staley Secretary ------ Dorothy Clark Treasurer .... Frederick Gengnagel Miss Leigh was chosen as our class teacher. During the year we had a pot luck supper at the school house and a weiner roast at Gypsy Hill. The class broke up in May to meet again in September to find a few more had dropped out. We elected our officers. President.....................................Lavon Mavis Vice President ----- Howard 1 link Secretary ------ Laurence Blaker Treasurer.....................................Helen Staley Our president left us and Howard came to the rescue. This year we published the Fortnight and accomplished much in school. At Christmas we were transferred to the new building. In September we met and combined our efforts in publishing the an- nual and presenting our Senior play. We were entertained by Janet Graham at the first of the year and later enjoyed a bob-sled ride. We have tried especially this year to leave Butler High with more knowledge than when we entered.

S. just as green as expected. However, they started the year right with the help ( i Miss MeBrien the class teacher. They enjoyed a few parties during the year and closed the term with some of their bashfulness taken away. The following year thirty-six of the members came back to school de- termined to succeed. They started to save money for the publishing of the Fortnight for their Junior year—thanks to the help of Miss Dickinson, their class sponsor. After nine months of hard work mixed with a few parties, they closed a successful school year. W.

TROPAEUM Freshman Class History (hi September 1, 1924 the class of ’28 made its entrance into Butler High, fifty-seven strong, and at once became known as “Jeffers’ 57 varieties.” c were all timid and felt out of place, but our upper classmen finally took pity on us and gave us a small amount of their attention. A few weeks later ve met and organized; also chose our class sponsor. Miss Perkins. We are waiting anxiously for the time when we will be called “Presides” no longer. M. M. S. ’28. Page Twenty-three ‘X£y TROPAEUM mum Mn RAV FLEENOR Athletic Coach What do the words “Athletics” and “Physical Education” mean in connection with High School life? The answer to this question largely de- pends upon one factor and that factor is the Director of athletics and physical education. To the extent that the director is a man of high principles and strong personality, who sees his work as a truly educational cnterpiise, his work will give tone and color to the whole of high school life. In Coach Fleenor we have had such a man In his three years of coaching at Butler, Coach Fleenor lias sought to develop the moral and ethical side of athletics. “Just to win” has never been his motto. For this, probably more than anything else, we shall long- est remember him. When we think of how rigidly Coach Fleenor held to this standard and how hard he fought the games along with us. we see in the thoughts of the poet a clearer statement of his athletic creed: And when the One Great Scorer comes To write against your name. He writes not that you won or lost. But HOW you played the game. 'sxiirsvir?siir? iir?s Tago Twenty-five TROPAEUM BE5 B8 a Mt 8W8 WJ m iiMl iMiMJM jy i Resume of Basketball Season In the early fall Coach Fleenor had succeeded in securing games with such schools as Auburn, Kendallville, LaGrange, Fremont and Waterloo— games which promised to he very interesting to the basketball fans and the be- ginning ol the season found him in charge of a squad of about twenty-five from which he could pick his men. including Rank, Blaker, Telschow and Wide- man. from last year’s squad. The sifting out processs started with the in- terclass games which were won by the Seniors. The regulars were given good competition by Hiatt, Xewcombe, Hemenway and Oberlin. At the end of the season the team went to the finals in the district tourney, which was the first time for a Butler team. The team had won six- teen out of twenty-four games piling up a score of eight hundred and forty- two points to their opponents four hundred and fifty-nine. The highest score being when Ashley fell 102-9. They also held a 27-15 win over Fremont, winner of the Angola district. This year the squad loses by graduation four of its members, Blaker, Telschow, Wideman and Hemenway, the first three being the leading scorers. But with these exceptions next year’s team will carry the same names and backed by the same spirit of co-operation manifested by the students this year, next year should be a great year for the basketeers of B.

He comes third in the number of points scored. Last year Walter won the Butler Medal for displaying the best sportsmanship. “Walt” was great on under-the-basket shots but he has a weakness—a sophomore of the blond variety. Page Twenty-seven TROPAEUM LEWIS TELSCHOW Center. Senior. “Hawk,” the player with an eagle eye, held down the center position for the third consecutive year and again led the squad in scoring with three hundred and nineteen points. He was the tall- est man on the team and was able to get the tip-off on most of the opponents. This year “Lewie” lays aside the “Green and Gold,” but we hope that our loss will be his gain. So long, “Hawk,” we can’t say good-bye- Lewis has changed but still strays over in the south part of town. DR A ’ TON LOOMIS Center. Freshman. “Ick,” a star with the Junior High team last year, graduated to the varsity squad this year and played at center. He was a good trainer, hard fighter and with the experience gained this year should be a very valuable man for next year. As far as is known “Ick” has not lost his heart but may be expected to at any time. PAUL OBERLIN Forward. Freshman. “Ob” led the Junior team in scoring last year and kept up his good work this year as a member of the varsity sharpshooters. His rapid development this year should gain him a regular berth next year. Paul led the scoring against Ashley in the semi-finals of the district tourney. “Ob” admits that he can’t turn corners when driving with one hand. —♦ .— LEHR HEMENWAY Guard. Senior. “Hemy,” although a senior, was trying his hand at the court game for the first time and by his grit and perseverance won a place on the squad. He never missed a practice and when sent in at guard always delivered the goods. He played his best games in the district tourney. Lehr was the only member of the squad that showed no inclination to stroll forth on Sunday nights. Pago Twenty-eight TROPAEUM WADE NE WOO AI BE ! u.u’d. Junior “Preach” was new at the court, name hut his rapid development earned him a place on the varsity. He was the best dribbler on the squad and often used this method of carrying the ball down the floor. Wade was a clean, hard fighter and is captain elect for next year. “Preach” as yet has not fallen a victim to the winning smiles sent his way. -«|{|«-- EARNEST HIATT Guard. Sophomore “Unk” was almost the midget of the team, but he more than made up for it by speed and ag- gressiveness. Me made life mis- erable for the opposing forwards and seldom did they get by for close shots. “Unk” has two more years to fight for the “Green and Gold ” Earnest as yet is not a victim of Cupid’s darts. —� . ALBERT WIDE.MAN Guard. Senior “Al.” a gentleman, the old re- liable veteran of three years, and winner of the Butler Medal this year, was one of the mainstays of the team, lie played a great game at guard but came down the floor for a hundred and thirty points in addition to holding the opposing forwards safe. Albert is a Senior and leaves us this year. “Al.” we hate to say good-bye. It is said that a certain Senior girl has Albert’s heart within her keeping. -♦l|l ♦-- LAURENCE BEAKER Forward. Senior. “Earry,” one of the cleanest, hardest fighters that ever wore the “Green and Gold,” came into his own this season and was sec- ond in the number of points scor- ed, with one hundred and seventy. For three years “Blake” has been a good sport, conscientious trainer, and when the Great Scorer comes to write against his name he will say that “Larry” always played the game. Laur- ence has overcome his one great shortcoming and now never for- gets—to go see her.

Mr. Fleenor, who lias 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 consist- ing of the following persons: Director of Athletics Each letter man for the year Each High School teacher Editor of Fortnight Referee........................ 5 votes 1 vote 1 vote 1 vote 1 vote The points to be considered are the individual’s attitude towards oppon- ents, teammates, coach, officials, training rules, teachers, school work, school mates and fellow man. At a meeting of the committee held the first of March, 1924, the trophy was awarded to Walter Rank, who was a Sophomore and captain-elect for the 1924-25 season. He had played in forty-one consecutive games, and was second in the number of points scored with eightv-one to his credit. At a meeting of the committee held the first of March. 1925, the trophy was awarded to Albert Wideman, star guard and member of the Senior class. He has played three years on the varsity, at guard, and this year was fourth in number of points scored with one hundred and thirty to his credit. There is one player on our basketball team whose picture does not ap- pear in this annual because he did not finish the season. Although we do not believe any player should ever quit the team, this person must be given credit for his fighting spirit while he was playing for Butler Hi.

She is able to play both guard and center. She’s not afraid to fight and when she sees the ball coming she is right there. Faye’s only fail- ing is that she plays so hard she is unable to keep her balance and often strikes the floor, but true to her nickname her opponents aren’t left at peace. She is also leaving us this year and we will miss her faithful guarding and “peppy” attitude as Faye can’t be beat when it comes to “pep.” —. HELEN HRVAN Forward. 1-2 “Bryan” plays the position of forward like a whirlwind. When she receives a pass you can de- pend upon a basket. Her guards have to know what the word “fight” means to keep up with Helen. She is a good sport, on and off the floor, with a ready smile for everyone. We are ex- pecting great things of you, Helen. —♦ ♦— FLORENCE MAGGERT Guard. 1-2. “Flo” is what we call a “real tighter.” She goes into the game with the. determination that her forward “large or small” shall not get a basket, and they all have to work to be able to score. “Flo” has played since she was a Fresh- man and is now showing signs of improvement each year. We will all have to admit that “Flo’s” one failing is a small forward on the boys’ team. But we can’t blame her can we, eh? «— MARG VER1TE (’ARPENTER Center Side. 2. “Carp” comes all the way from Hamilton to be on our team. She is a good example of faithful- ness and good sportsmanship. She went in either as a guard or- as center and played these posi- tions with credit to herself and team. She never complains but does her bit with a smile. 3iSS Page Thirty-three IgjSiiiJiTROPAEUM GOLDA LOOMIS Forward. 1. “Shorty,” this nickname sure fits. Golda is tiny but that does- n’t make any difference she is able to get around her guard and make the basket. This is just her first year and we are sure she is going to he some little player when she becomes a Senior. Keep up the good work, Golda. WAVA ROBINSON Sub-Guard. 1. “Wavy” is another “Freshie” who has earned commendation for her readiness to fight and to give her best for the sake of the team. “Wavy” subs for guard and her timely aid has been a great help when the regular guard was disqualified. ESTHER RIDGE Sub-Guard. 2. “Tubby-” Esther came out for practice the last semester and made the team as sub-guard. She showed good fighting spirit throughout the games. We are counting on her for a couple more years as a steady player. sS________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ;c Page Thirty-four TROPAEUM Summary of Girls’ Basketball BUTLER WINS The Butler “Six” Basketball girls journeyed to Harlan October 31 to fight their way to victory. As the Butler girls won over Harlan at both games last season, they felt confident in themselves and decided to carry off the laur- els. Both teams went on the floor with the determination to win. At the end of the first half the score stood, 1-0 in favor of Butler. Although the girls were ahead they felt they could not be over-confident so they battled through the second half with the same fighting spirit. The final score was 18-9 in Butler’s favor. ASHLEY LOSES TO BUTLER Friday, Nov. 7. the Butler ({ills’ Basket Ball team met the Ashley girls on the Ashley floor and clashed in a hard battle. Last year Ashley won over Butler with a small majority, but this year the Butler squad went on the floor with a determination to win. Ashley started the game oft with a field goal and shortly after this Bryan scored for Butler and the fight was on. At the end of the first half the score board read 7-2. The second half the girls kept the same fighting spirit and a number of baskets were made on both sides. With the Butler fans cheering and the players fighting the final score read 20-12 in favor of Butler. GARRETT WINS Butler had three weeks, previous to Thanksgiving, with no game scheduled. Garrett challenged us for a game and, as the girls did not want to get out of practice, they accepted. Our girls, with their little experience, were no match for the Garrett “Veterans.” Cheerfully the girls fought their best and accepted their defeat with a smile, the final score being 37-12. AUBURN WINS The Girls Basket Ball Team were determined to show Auburn that they were real fighters. However, in spite of the fact that they were outclassed, the girls showed good sportsmanship throughout and made Au- burn work for their 37-6. BUTLER WINS The final game with Harlan was played here on December 12. It was a short game of twenty minutes because of the late arrival of the visiting team. The game was refereed by Otis Fisher of Butler, who showed splendid judgment, fairness, accuracy and consistency in his decisions. The result was n score of 7-2 in favor of Butler. HAMILTON LOSES TO BUTLER Another easy walk off, with “Carp” determined to down her home Page Thirty-five TROPAEUM town iincl every girl prepared to make her best showing for Butler. The girls had no trouble in doubling the seore on Hamilton. ASHLEY LOSES TO BUTLER Ashley came to Butler during the Christinas vacation and was determin- ed to get vengeance from the game played in the fall. But the B. B. Girls still had their old “pep” and showed Ashley what they could do once, they could do again. The final score read 18-10 in favor of Butler. BUTLER GIRLS MEET DEFEAT Friday night, Feb. 6, the girls basket ball team played their last game of the season at Auburn. The girls went on the floor with a determination to fight to their greatest ability. Being on a strange and larger floor the girls were handicapped. The end of the first half the score was 26-2 in Au- burn’s favor. With a few minutes rest the second half started and the girls, becoming more accustomed to the floor, were able to score more. The final score stood 4(i-17 in favor of Auburn. Page Thirty-six TROPAEUM B. H. S. Baseball Blaker c. Telschovv p. Neweombe 11) Hemenway 21) Wideman 3b Rank ss. Poffenberger rf.

Several errors were made in the various games, but no more than could be expected by amateurs. Several of our players were compelled to do much extra work besides their school work, which limited their practice considerable. Bast, but not least, Dr. Poffenberger and Captain Springer need to be congratulated on the fine way they umpired tin games, and the school appre- ciates their willingness to cooperate and assist. fry iVsyi mm r7s t t sv; fail fadi MxiMKi iTsrrrravi rT rTati rTavi trsa iravi rrsn havi fTail Mvi r7s i iva-ti imm r? di rTafi rTsti fov rfot Page Thirty-eight ji, AJ y IrTsv; rTsvi rygvi r gv; rv v sM rv vi fYSv; rrgvi rvsvi rygv; rTgvi r vi r?svi rygv: rv rvsv) fvsvi frgv; rvsvs rysvi r vi rrsvl tvgviT vi rvs?i rrsvi r i?S r sva fr r7 virrsvi r t ■ iLaSSjgPBajfflgaglR liiMHlt lg ajR ilg HIHwgB IRgB t TROPAEUM - « « mmi f!Ktri3JUlutlttMi l MU % .: ■• ;• f: SS55£. ■_n r... -srzsxsxz THE HI-Y CTA B Top row—Howard Funk, John Poffenberger, Supt.

The room was decorated in yellow and black, the Senior class colors. Fold rose-balls, on each side of the room, were made into dainty screens. The table was decorated in black and gold, the food also carrying out the same color scheme. The Maker Orchestra furnished music throughout the evening. Various toasts were given by members of the faculty and the members of both danse:;, Prof. Forney acting as toastmaster. Other guests besides the Seniors were the members of the faculty, and their wives. BASKET BALL BOYS' BANQUET At the beginning of the 1924-25 basketball season, Mr. Flcenor, athletic director, told the squad that for every game in which they scored fifty points he would give them a chicken supper. As a result four banquets were given, at which everyone had his appetite satisfied to some extent. The first feed was at Mr. Fleenor’s early in November; the second at the Christian Church, and the other two at the U. B. Church. On November 21st. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Noragon delightfully entertained the team. The table decorations were in the school colors, green and gold. A bountiful dinner was served and every one did justice to the food. It was just after a victory over Waterloo and everybody was “a’rarin’ to go.” a i trsvi tTavi r?av rTafft rraxi f yTi iysvt rTav: rTav; tTav; ufiiiCl Page Forty-eight TROPAEUM B. H. S.

Page Fifty iHSISMlM ?j: iajw ’ w� ;ixse wy d?j: iwj fgg TROPAEUM 2 The History of Butler In 1840, when a few hoineseekers began to settle the available govern- ment lands in this community, the town now known as Butler was formed. The real birth of Butler dates from 1852 when the L. S. M. S. railroad was located. Soon after this, the Eel River and Bake Shore railroads began con- struction. In the meantime. Charles Norris had moved into the 80 acre Colgrave tract now occupied by Oak and Depot Streets. He started a little store, the first in Norristown, as Butler was then called. About the same time, Packertown (named after August Packer) sprang up about V2 mile west of Norristown. But with the new railroad as an incen- tive towards rapid growth. Butler soon became quite a prosperous little town. Business developed amazingly. A grist mill owned by Mr. Maze was started. A sawmill was erected on the land now occupied by the Butler Company. A stave and heading factory was built on the railroad grounds, where the. Milling Company now stands. Where the M. E. Church now stands, a buggy and wagon factory was operated by a man named Plowe. Two good black-smiths, David Blaker and Isaac Daily, had shops about this time, A tanning factory, owned by Mr. Oberlin and sons, did a splendid business. Near it were three shoe shops, owned by James Revett. Henry Beck. Louis Planson, John Plowe and Mi'. Howard. The latter kept the post office in his shop. Isaac Fisher was the first cabinet maker. This comprised the industries of Butler to 1870. The business section of Butler was on Main street, east of Broadway. A dry goods firm. Canady and Stitz. was in the building now occupied by Un- derhills. Next door was a dry goods and grocery store, owned by Isherwood. who later built the first brick building, now occupied by Huffman’s Variety Store. West of Broadway, the Sheldon Brothers had a very good drug store. Next door was the Sheldon residence; on the next corner William Shaw owned a residence, and across the street was the Shull property. From here on west, all was a dense forest as far on west as Packertown. The block now occupied by business houses, from Wagoner’s (Jrocery to (i.aides’ Drug Store, was built up with small frame business rooms. About 1865 the father of L. H. Higley, Emery and Hume Higley, located here with a very nice dry- goods store. This business later passed into the hands of David Fay and Samuel Haverstock and still later to Joseph Rex. Andrew Steall ran a grocery where the Tyson meat market is now- located. In 1858 Simon Sticfel started a miscellaneous shop, which was very beneficial to the entire community. Elias Strauss came about the same time and engaged chiefly in the a tfainr� il g i 8virySvtrr r)r ryS lf Svtf7Svitr rrS 1f� SvttrSVIfr ri vttrSvtti vtrrSv1ti Yltj 1j sv Page Fifty-one KgM! TROPAEUM clothing business. However, his most profitable business was the buying and selling of horses. The first business houses on the east side of Broadway were the Blaker Hotel, Henry Hatch’s Store, and a saloon and residence. On the corner of Oak street and Broadway, Alex Trimble owned a grocery. The building still stands and is about seventy-three years old. In 1852 Norman Harding built a new Hotel, where the Hotel Butler now stands. Next door, Miss Madden ran a millinery store. This pretty well covers the business history of Butler to 1870, with the exceptions of two different brick yards that did extensive business. The early residence district was chiefly along East Main and North Broadway. Many of the buildings are still standing, but have undergone many alterations. The educational history of Butler is interesting. The first school, a small log house, stood opposite the present M. E. Church. The teacher was John A. Campbell. As the town grew, a larger building was erected on the lot now owned by Samuel Miller. It is now used as a barn and garage. The town was incorporated in 1867, and soon a large three-story building was erected which served for 50 year’s. The educational advancement, under Professor Bowersox and Professor McIntosh, had influence over the whole country. The school had a wide reputation for its excellent educational work, and conse- quently young people preparing to teach, came from all directions. It is no exaggeration to say that some of the best teachers of Northeastern Indiana were prepared for their work in this school. The first instructors were Bowersox. McIntosh, Luke, Kimbell, Crecble, Saunders and others. Soon the old building was outgrown, torn down and replaced by larger buildings. It has been remodeled and added to. until the present very modern building was erected. The first church was the old M. E. church in the northeastern part of town. Later the new M. E. church, the U. B., the Lutheran, and Christian churches, and the Church of God were erected. The first doctors were Milligan. Madden. Miller. Sheldon, lloofingarncr, Carpenter, Waterhouse and Fanning. People identified with the growth of Butler are: E. W. Fosdick, A. J. Mason, Charles Norris, George Egnew, Daniel Tomlinson, William Blair, Jacob Funk, Jason and William llubbell. Hiram, Theodore and John Madden, John- athan Hazlett, David and John Blaker, Archillas Blaker. John Zeigler, Hutch- inson Boon, John and Lewis Moore, Hambright Reese, James Chambers, James McCurdy, the Oberliu family and many others. By contrasting and comparing the Butler of today, with its large modern buildings, its busy, efficient factories, its splendid streets and resi- dences. with the Butler of seventy years ago, we come to fully appreciate the great work done by the early settlers. And our gratitude, for the establish- ing of our little city, is great. The enthusiasm and determination of our ancestors who started our city, has been handed down to the present genera- tion, who are as fully determined to make Butler bigger and better, as the settlers of 1850.
