We give them all our wishes of success and hope they ( keep on marching to the goal of victory. ' 7 Four j ' cars ago a class of fifty-seven made their entrance into the new f-j high school ))uilding which liad .just been built. How green and timid j;| we were when we began the big task before us ! Undei ' the sponsorship of Miss Pei ' kins the class entered into school activities and tried to make themselves useful, following the motto: ' ' B-sharp, B-natural, tint never B-flat. The following year the class came forth with a new spirit. During our Sophomore year Miss Cline was our class spons.or. A few departed from the class lint the rest were l)ecoming more acquainted with high school life. In the junior year, John Campbell was chosen president. A few members of the class entered into contests and several of our boys gave increasing strength to the basket ball team. A play, Safety First, was given under the coaching of Miss Greatbatcli. The play l)eing a success, supplied funds for our Junior and Senior banquet. Having earned the right to wear the school ' s name, rings were purchased Ijy the class. At last, when the fourth year came, only twenty-three flf the original class remained. A lyceum course and the senior play, Cheer Up Chad were offered to the puljlic through the efforts of the class. The class has left many honors in the foot prints of B. li. S. Marcelle Smith won the Lincoln medal and Robert King won the Lincoln essay in the county contest. Now we have finished our high school work and each of us are ready to enter a field of our own ambition. Favorite Expressions of the Seniors Harold Ash— Do you still love me?

' ' Just such surprises start a chain of thoughts; mine being linked together by old school day memories. It was a gift from Velda, who, now being a success- ful editor and owner of a large pulilishing plant, had written and published these books for the benefit of old classmates. The rest of the mail was left unopened while for three hours I followed the strug- gles of my old class-mates from the time of their graduation from Butler High in 1928 up to the present year of 1940.

This year the Butler squad loomed hiyli in the Ba.sketball kingdom winning 16 out of 21 games. Coach Marks certainly showed his coaching ability this year by tuiaiing out the best team Butler High bas ever had. Although we had a few touiih bi ' eaks we can count this year as a most suc- cessful one. W ' lost the final games in lK)th the County and Sectional tonrna- lucnts. Butler played Speneerville in the County Tourn;iment finals and lost only because our boys had such hard games duiing the day and in tlu ' Sec- tional Tourney Auburn had their usual luck when their captain put in a long shot and won the game for them by one jioint. We also beat Kendallville by 9 points and later they went to the State Tournament, which means something for Butler. The second team won about 15 out of 18 games and the Juniors won tlie ■ -47— (D (Uropapum 1928 M interclass tourney over the Seniors, wliieli shows promising material for next year. At the end uf the year the business men presented three Seniors on the team with green and gold sweaters with stripes denoting the years of service and a star to show the captainship. The Seniors were Paul Obeiiin, receiving forrr stripes and a star, Frank Parker, with two stripes and a star, and Carver Newcombe, receiving one sti ' ipe. - - BASEBALL RECORD ' 27 AND ' 28 Early in tlic fall Coach Marks called for candidates for baseball. After two weeks ' of hard practice on the High School lawn and diamond we played our first gme. As a I ' esult of l)ad weather we wvvv only al)le to play thi ' ce games alto- gether. Then in the spring on Api ' il ' 2, Coach Marks called for the first spring praetiee. Intensive coaching and training put the team in fine condition and we played our first spring game on April 25. Oberlin, Parker and Ash constituted a wonderful outfield this year, and as they are Seniors the school keenly regrets its loss, but as the rest of the team are undei ' classmen we hope for great results next year.

He accomj:)anied the team to every game this year anil served as official score keeper for B. H. S.. Paul showed much management and good spirit w-ith the team and surely was a loyal helper to Mr. JIarks. Tile tw studriit nianasi ' is, Alan Millri- and Bernard Stnrgis, administered the finan- cial affairs of the athletic association. Their duty and fullillment were to sell tlie tickets and manage the payments of expenses. It was certaijily tine experience for them and they showed much worthy support to their school. When it came to schocd pep and spirit John Campbell was there with the material to give and h ' ad tlie yells. Spirit ofB. H. S. Athletics Nd scln ' ine of education can claim to be rounded out and to be devclojied to its fullest extent unless it pirovides for physical education. Hence, iButler has usually put teams into the field of competitive athletics. Atliletics of that nature, however, must of necessity be limited to a few of the boys of the school. Attempting ' to prevent the development of an athletic olig.-ircliy, tlic scliools piolicy this year has been to promote not only varsity activities, but intra-mural activities on the playground and in the gymnasium. The pur- pose of all education is to strengthen character and promote eitizenshiii, and physical edu- cation, or .-ithletics, is p. ' irticularly situated to do tliese things as well as piromote healthy aiul well built bodies. Butlei- ' s teams enter the floor oi- take their place on the field with a determination, first, to ]day the game; second, to lionoiably represent Butler; and third, to win. We ex- pect luifhing we cannot earn for ourselves; we are not bitter when the games go against us. Ilonest} cleanness, sincerity, perserverauce, cooperation — all characteristics of high- grade citizeushij) — arc the team ' s goals. Tlie teams this year proved themselves worthy representatives of Butler, and. Butler is proud of them. — Coacli Marks. i :: ;i ri) :: (i r -50- (Tropaatm 1920 Z m i CI i GIRLS ' ATHLETICS A group of eight freshmen girls, strengthened by three sophomores, organized Nov. 10 fdr basket ball jjractice. Since the gym was not available at any other time, they prac- ticed the hour before school. The girls showed some real ability and we believe that with another year of experience and regular practice time, they will develop into a basket ball team worthy of B. H. S.

Amanda drew her chair closer to the fire. This quaint chair, a long, immovalile bench, a red i lush couch, and a stationary table completed the furnishings of the poor home. A terrific banging caused Amanda to rise and sulk across the room. With her shriveled hands she managed to open the window sevei ' al inches and pull tile loose storm-shutter. The banging ceased, but Amanda stood mumbling, ' 1 can ' t stand it! It ain ' t no use! It isn ' t right for me to go on livin ' tliis way when I don ' t have to. Woman! commaiided a Inirly voice. Woman! stir that fire. She did. As she passed the chair, her fingers wandered ovei ' its ladder-bacl . She lirtc(l a long iJoktM- from its rack and despondently poked the fire, thi ' ew a few slic ' ks on it and ri ' i)lac(d the poker. Then, she sat upon the (|uaint ru h-bnttom chair, staring into the Ijlaze. She sat there a long time while outsidi ' the wind shricj cd and tlic snow ihiri ' icd confusedly before it. The vociferous wind and a deeji sonorous breatli- lug fi ' om the couch wwc the oidy sounds audible. Suddenly, Amanda ' s jaw set and hei ' eyes blazed with in.justiee. Saul! — Saul Priggins! Don ' t answer then, but just listen! You ' ve done all the bossiu ' in this house for twenty .year, and I never said a word in back-talk, but now it ' s my turn to talk. Listen, Saul Priiiuins, when tluit doctor comes in the mornin ' I ' m a goin ' to e(i hack to town with him, and they ain ' t nothin ' as will stop me.

Nothin ' , Init you go an break yer leg and squall like a l)aby. ' ' She glanced over at the dark spot enclosing the couch on which Saul lay. Saul! Saul Priggins! A deep snoi ' c answered hei ' call and . manda focussed hei- gaze on the fire again. Now ain ' t that disgustin ' . liut natural? She pett ' (l the chair. It was I ' osewooil, and had bei ' ii handed down troiii her grandmothei ' Alilly to her mother, and then from her motlier to ' .Maiula. It was a beautifid piece in straight simple lines and Amanda loved it, prized it.

Amanda drew her faded shawl about her thin slionlders and Inii ' dlcd i-losc to tlic waning hre mumbling, I wonder. — 1 jest wonder — ?

Presently sjie arose and paced tJK ' tloor. The winds shrieked and Saul groaned. His flesh was blue, and his eyes moist. W hen Amanda glanced at him, a look of disgust covered Iht Face.

To those who forced the circulation managers into a long suljscriptitni campaign in order to sell enough copies to nuike the Tropaeum possible. To tliose who bi ' ought in picture and snapshots after a dozen or more re- quests. To tliose who say the Ti ' ojjaeum is a bunch of gi ' aft and the editors are ter- rible joersons for spending a thousand houi ' s or more on such a worthless enter- prise. To those wdio have found fault with evei ' ything in connection with tlie book, who refuse to cooperate to make it the kind of an annual they want and who borrow one to see how many times they can find their pictures. To those wdio had to be reminded innumerable times that they were to hand in material for the Tropaeum and then scriblded anything off. :liicli the ( ' (litoi ' s fimdly had to remodel and rewrite themselves. To those wdio growled every time they were asked to do anything and refused to aid the busy editors by rearranging their study periods and reason- ably sharing their time. To those who said, It ' s your annnal, when asked to work, but s;iy to others, The Class of ' 28 put ' this out. Such boosters have made the task of publishing the 1928 Trojiaeum easy and delightful. —63— : r l i : aroparum 192B I I I 5. .-= - m u m ' LS-rt v es The. ihr-e- c.

For four years, these boys and girls have lived in a world of their own, forming friendships as close and true as hfe can develop. To these friendships, Com- tnencemcnt Day often means the parting of the ways ... the interruption of sympa- thetic tics which later years day never supplant. But need the parting mean the end of these friendships? Not if pleasant memories are kept alive with tokens that serve as lasting remuiders of delightful Alma Mater days. Your jeweler is headquarters for such enduring reminders — for Gifts That Last like the sentiment theycommemorate. They need not be expen- sive gifts. But they should be durable and serviceable, like friendship itself. Whatever you would say to him or her, at the parting of treasured school-day com, ' radeships, should be said for a hfetime. So say it from the jeweler ' s stock with Gifts That Last. ' JAMES G.
