Text from Pages 1 - 36 of the 1935 volume:

9 HSTCRy THE FIKST SCHOOL in Butler was a small log house. As the town grew, a larger building was erected. In 1867 the town was incorporated and soon a large three-story building was erected. The present grade building was erected in 1905 and the present high school building in 1924. The first graduating class of Butler High School was in 1873, with 4 graduates. In the sixty-two years of its existence, Butler High School has graduated 685 ■students. This year’s enrollment is 160. Page One rCPEWCRC THE SENIOR CLASS of 1935 presents this edition of the Tropaeum for your approval. We have not attempted to include all the activities of the year in this small volume, but we hope that it will serve as a pleasant re- minder, in days to come, of the happy days spent in Butler Higii School, of the hours of toil and study, of the loyal support given the B. H. S. teams, of participation in activi- ties, and of the many schoolday romances. DEDICATION TO VERDA B. GARL, our class sponsor, who, through her services to our class during our high school days, her intense interest in the students and student activi- ties, and her sincere devotion to her work, we, the class of 1935, affectionately dedicate this volume.

Page Seven clajx msTCcy IX THE YEAR of our Lord 1934, 65 small, timid soldiers came working their way through the Autumn leaves to the Castle of Higher Educa- tion. Had they known what was before them, they would have pro- bably turned back, but they were brave soldiers and under the guidance of their Good Commander, Miss Garl, they were eager to undertake the task of becoming conquerors of at least part of the Castle of Higher Education. In the first year of attack, there was much turmoil and some wrere forced to surrender to the enemy, Leisure Time. Finding it impossible to overcome the enemy, they w'ere forced out of the Castle. Once during the first year a light of cheerfulness wTas cast upon the soldiers by the Halloween party that was given. At the end of the battle, however, many were able to grasp the jeweled treasures of English, Latin, Math and Science. They then decided to lay their armor of books, pencils, and tablets aside for the summer, feeling that they had had a success- ful battle. In the fall of ’31, the soldiers of Education again resumed their battle against the Castle of Higher Education. This time they chose the stern Commandership of Captain J. Ferguson as their leader. Although there w-ere only 55 old members left, 2 recruits joined the ranks. The second year was not quite so difficult a battle because the soldiers were just a little more confident and just a little more rugged and capable. Some who had been wounded in the first year of attack were unable to continue the wdiole year because of the temptations of the World. At the end of the second year of attack many joined in the pleasure of grasping new mental riches. In the third year the soldiers w'ere very eager to plunge into the fight for they had had a taste of the treasures for wdiieh they were seeking. Because of the removal of the former Captain from the ranks, the soldiers again chose Miss Garl as Commander. This year was filled with much pleasure as the good helper, Social Life, made many chances for the soldiers to forget their troubles in the battle for Higher Educa- tion. The rugged Juniors, through their unfailing strength in mind and spirit, were able to gain a bonus for a contest wdiieh w'as held by an outside firm. The Banquet for the “higher” soldiers was held at the end of the year to rejoice over the vast spoils that had been gained during the victorious year. The last year of attack w7as one of great excitement under the leadership of Miss Garl. A play w'as given to show how7 much had been accomplished by the gallant soldiers. Later, the year was filled with many interesting events including the publishing of an annual, to tell the outside world of the success of the gallant soldiers against the Castle of Higher Education. At last the victory was w'on and the Castle fell entirely into the hands of the deserving soldiers. What excitement! What vast gains the soldiers had made during the four years! 45 soldiers wrere crowned with diplomas for their wonderful w'ork in cap- turing the Castle of Higher Education.—Lloyd Blaker.

Page Nine cla pccpuccy IT IS THE FUTURE and the author, by means of television, is watching dif- ferent people in various parts of the world. Suddenly the scanning disk stopped and she saw a scene in a courtroom, which is constructed five hundred feet above the earth and held in place by two autogiros. The case in session is against Lloyd Blaker, the famous horticulturist, accused of developing a flower of such beauty that words cannot be found to describe it. The plaintiff is War- ren Snyder, the noted lexicographer. Mr. Richard F. Long, the well-known cor- poration lawyer, is representing the Snyder Dictionary Company. Growing tired of the scene, the author turned the scanning disk one degree and sees the two aviators in the autogiros—they are Lewis Ault and Dale Fisher. Suddenly Lewis, forgetting his occupation, started to have a race with a cloud. The courtroom crashed to earth. Ding-a-ling, and up rushed Noel Myers driving the ambulance, with DeEtta iodine, the attendant nurse. The slightly injured victims are taken to the Riser Hospital—let us take a look into the rooms. In the kitchen, Orpha Silberg, the chief dietician, is telling Jessta Bone- cutter, the office girl, how she recently lost two whole pounds. On the second floor, Nora Johnson, the first airplane hospital nurse, is instructing Ruth Alwood, an applicant for a position. Glancing through the door of the Nurses’ Beauty Salon, Madame Wilma Fuller is seen. Being interested in Education, I looked into the Getts Model School where a spirited conversation is taking place among the teachers of the lower grades. The teachers happen to be as follows: Ruth Varner, first grade; Ruth Reasoner, second grade, and Lorene Provines, the fourth grade. Ethel Brunson, the music teacher, is holding up her portion of the conversation. The topic is the resigna- tion of the third grade teacher, Emily Alwood, who had to care for a sick—Miller. For a little diversion the theater is chosen, and at a glance at the leading theater in New York, one cannot help but notice the huge sign in front, which was created by Thomas R. Preston. Once inside, the audience are sitting in “Lovely” seats. The first performance is by the New York Symphony Orchestra. The solo clarinetist is Ercel Tyson, and Doris Holman, famed opera star, is the guest artist. After the orchestra's portion on the program, a signal is given by John Hatfield, the electrician and the spotlights point to Francis Klinkel, the acrobatic dancer and gymnastic teacher. The scene changes and on the stage is seen Ralph and his Rosenberries, who are featuring Bessie Oberlin, gifted drummer, Lucile Deck the harpist and Helen Moughler the saxophonist. After the program, the scanning disk is changed so that a view on board a transatlantic liner is shown. The scene is the Captain’s dinner. Those present, are: The Captain, William Gather; Marjorie Price, the portrait artist, who is going to Paris; Reign Ulm, the chemist, who is going to Europe to present his recently expounded theory before a world wide convention of scientists. Farther down the Captain’s table are Martha Bevington, musical comedy star, who is touring the world, and the former Gertrude Varner, now wife of a wealthy fruit grower. At another table is A. Herman Spangler, who is going to Paris to display his exquisite furs. Beside him is Robert D. Iligley, renowned C. P. A. As the ship moves eastward the scanning disk is adjusted back to the United States, to the World’s Fair. In the Agricultural exhibit, are William Platt and Howard Buttermore, leading farmers in the North Central States. In the livestock division, is Marion Porter, the outstanding shepherd. In the Home Economics Department, the former Phyllis Moore, Joyce Mark, and Reba Snyder are conversing. Phyllis is President of the National Union of Farmer’s Wives. Joyce is national champion jelly maker and Reba is the wife of a dill pickle manufacturer. In the Animal Building is Anna Spake’s exhibit of stray cats and dogs. As the author meditates over the things she has seen, it occurs to her that through television, in one day, she has been able to see all of the class of ’35. But someone is missing. Why—Mary Jane Maggert, who is now Mrs. and the Executive Officer of the National Federation of Certified Housewives. —Prue Adelle Hallett. Page Ten CLAW PCEM We arrived in thirty At dear old B. IT. S. Rather timid, rather bashful That, we must confess. But each term lias made us stronger, And our confidence has grown, Till now we are quite cool and calm, And to others we’re widely known. Some of us are tall and slender; Some of us are short and fat; But take us as a whole We will pass, for all of that. We were always represented In activities and in games, Not meaning to be boastful We have won many fames. So as this year brings to an end Our dear old high school days, We say good-bye to one and all And hope we win their praise. —Orpha Silberg.

HIGH SCHOOL BAND which has as its motto “Boost Butler’s Baud’’ started out with 25 members, and now has 59 in its ranks. In 1931-32 the band won in the district contest and went to Evansville where we won fourth place in the state. The next year we won at Columbia City and also won first place at the state contest at LaPorte, for which we were awarded a silver loving cup. On July 13, 1933, at A Century of Progress our band had the privilege of giving a concert to open Indiana Day. We were the only Class C band present. In 1933-34 our band did not win at the district at Huntington. This year we are going to Goshen and if we win there, which we expect to, wo shall go to Evansville. Almost one out of every three students in high school is a member of the band. We now have a 40-piece Junior Band. In 1934 the pressing need for uniforms was satisfied when black suits trimmed in gold were purchased. This meant a $900 investment which the Boost Butler’s Band Association undertook and paid. A large amount of credit should be given to our director, Lida M. Stage, to our school and her unceasing effort to put us “over the top.’’—Ellen Capp, ’34.

Page Seventeen Page Eighteen LITERACY OUR FUTURE Now wc are Juniors with a carefree life Nothing to bother, no struggle or strife Next year will be passed our happy ways Because for us will be -ended our high school days. Although next year our hearts will be repining, A brighter light for us will be shining, And in the calendar, made by fate, Our names will be written for something great. We know our class will do their best To reach the top of life’s mountain crest; And when we succeed, the same as of old, Knowledge, we’ll find, is better than gold.-Deloris Ginder, Jr SOPHOMORES Sophomores, Sophomores, that’s the name That sounds so sweet to me; We eat to live, and live to learn, That we may brighter be. Be a booster, not a crabber, Catch the spirit while it lasts; Help us obscure the standard Set by last year’s Sophomore Class.—Anna Myers, Soph. THE CLASS OF ’38 IN ’35 We’re .just a bunch of Freshmen Thirty-six in all, But there’s great difference in us now From what we were last fall. Some have learned to cook and sew, Others how the grain to grow. Brown and Byers have taught' us well With jokes and fun to break dull spell. Our Latin, it was just so tough Three teachers had to teach the stuff McKrill last took, and has it now And so through exams we sturdily plow. With Parker as captain and we as the crew, To the ports of Scotland and Rome we drew, Shakespear and Scott we studied with zeal Until their great genius they forced us to feel. Mr. Price and Moore taught math this year, And their “mental gymnastics” did cause us fear. We learned how our fortunes we’d better invest All through a catchy Arithmetic test. —Alice Miller, Fresh Page Nineteen ALUMNI 1931 Floyd Berryliill David Wayne Blakerv Mareta Bonecutter Dorothy Campbell Helen Casebere Rimmel Joseph Cather Kester Cather Kathleen Crcager Wallace Dever Madeline Grube Martha Hatfield Helen Holman Harrington Alice Jennings Holman Warren Loomis Myron Lowe Charles Metcalf Reign Miller Ruth Mutzfeld Christina Nelson Marcella Powers Oiler Clela Rosenberry Herman Sarah Sewell Josephine Shaffer Walter Smith Esther Snyder Harmon Spake Dean Weicht Argus Fisher 1932 Emerson Aldrich Raymond Bevington Carl Bryant Marguerite Blakcr Howard Blaine Helen Bonecutter Blaker Laura Bungard Harold Casebere Jessie Coll Gerald Deck Page Twenty Loren Dickerhoof Wayne Durst Beatrice Ellis Gertrude Ginder LeMoile Graf Staley Martha Hinshaw Viola Hose Opal Huntington Vose Kathryn Johnson Snyder Leora Lowe Roy Moughler Vera Michael Davis Dale Moore Catherine Noragon Finley v Marcella Ratts Myers Howard Walter Cecil Weichtv Clare Ulm Helen White 1933 Anna Alwood Harter Roe Blume Dorothy Brant Parker Ida Wilma Brown Fern Bryant Alice Campbell Edward Campbell Isabelle Cather David Dickerhoof Ford Doan Kenneth Enzor Wava Fifer Hildreth Hallett Kathryn Holman Haverstoek i George Hatfieldv Tlieron Imhoff LeRdy Jennings Robert Kester Ralph King Onalee Klinkel Coralie Knox Holman Elza Loomis Rose Loren Miller Lowell Myers Lucile Palmerton Anna Mae Platt Manley D.
