Qc' Sf.'l'e'7lt1 T R Oggl A E U M Kgglg 9 4,0 THE QUEST In the fall of ,236 a ship called The Quest launched out in search of the Land of Knowledge. Aboard the ship were the two commanders, Miss Bryant and Mr. Mooreg the first mate, Darrell Millerg second mate, Wesley Pellettg writer of the logbook, Betty McClellan, purser, Mary Keplerg and sixty-five sailors. The two commanders had made the journey before, and through their guidance sailing was made easier. During the voyage, many of the sailors took active part in Glee Club, Band, Orchestra, Future Farmers, and Dough Girls. Jeannette Mutzfeld and Juanita Blackwell took part in the District Latin Contest. The main highlight was the party in the Drawing Room of the ship. Soon one of the sailors reported that he saw land ahead. The report was confirmed and in short time the ship was docked at the little island. The crew and its commanders celebrated the ending of the first quar- ter of the journey with a big party on the shores of the island. During an interval of several months the crew explored the island and loaded the Quest with provisions for the next trip. The anchor was drawn up and the Quest set sail under the command of Mr. Miller and Mrs. Stage. The first mate was Wesley Pellettg second mate, Darrell Millerg writer of logbook. Betty Joy Hallettg purser, Mary Kepler. The sailors numbered fifty-eight. The crew had grown accustomed to the routine and now accepted things as a matter of course. The best sailors were rewarded by being asked to join the two honorary organizations, Hi-Y and Blue Triangle. Eileen Carpenter and Jeannette Mutzfeld proved themselves outstanding in Algebra at the Dis- trict Contest and Jeannette went on to the State Contest. Mary June Devitt participated in a vocal contest. The annual party was held in the Drawing Room. Another little island came into view and the Quest's passengers rejoiced, for this marked the end of the most difficult half of the journey. As soon as the boat was docked everyone Went ashore to celebrate with the usual annual party. The ship was reloaded with enthusiasm by the sailors. They looked for- ward to the last half of the journey with eager anticipation because of the many exciting engagements that had been booked. The ship slowly made its way out of the harbor with Miss Gilbert and Miss Smallwood in command. The other members of the party were: first mate, Hubert Shapeg second mate, Wesley Pellettg logbook writer, Helen Oldsg purser, Darrell Miller, and forty- eight sailors. The first important event was the Junior Play entitled The Crazy Mixupf' starring Elaine Cosper and Donald Wischmeier in the leading roles. The cast's ability to act and Mr. Miller's capable directing combined to make it a big success. The Glee Club presented its first operetta, The Page Eighteen TROPAEUM lf!--4-O Gypsy Troubadourf' with Mary June Devitt, Hubert Shape, Donald Wisch- meier, Mary Kepler, and Wilma Blaker as part of the cast. Betty Rose Miller and Jeannette Mutzfeld were representatives at the District Geometry Contest and Jeannette carried her banners on to the State Contest. Mary June Devitt represented the Glee Club in a vocal solo at the District Vocal Contest. The most anticipated event of the voyage came when everyone be- came senors and senoritas at the Junior-Senior Reception in a drawing room which had been transformed into a replica of gay Mexico. The ship fairly came to an unhappy fate, so unexpected was the appears nee of the island that marked the close of three fourths of the journey. Everyone went ashore and joined in the annual party. Ample provisions were loaded on the Quest with eagerness as the crew prepared for the last quarter of its goal. The commanders were Mrs. McKrill and Mr. Parker. The others were: first mate, Wesley Pellett, second mate. Donald Wischmeierg writer of the logbook, Barbara Banburyg purser, Frank Lynn, and forty-four sailors. The first event was the Senior Play What Wright Leftv, starring Wilma Blaker and Wesley Pellett. The presentation of the operetta, L'Grand Old Switzerland , included Mary June Devitt, Donald Wischmeier, and Eileen Carpenter in the cast of players. Fourteen seniors were awarded Blue Triangle sweaters, three received Basketball sweaters. and nineteen received Band sweaters. Donald Wischmeier was elected Editor- in-Chief of the Tropaeum , a record of all events of the voyage. For skip day we stopped for a one-day tour of Chicago. At a sailor's cry of Theres land ahead! , everyone rushed on deck to get his first glimpse of the object of the Quests goal, the Land of Knowledge. It was a grand sight and as the ship approached shore, the bugles of a large band pealed forth a song of welcome. King Price and his royal procession were awaiting our arrival. As the Quest came to a halt, King Price came aboard to congratulate and wel- come us. He presented each of us with a gold medal in honor of our bravery and success. We have now reached the Land of Knowledge and it is for each of us to decide whether or not he will penetrate and explore it. -Eileen Carpenter. Page Nilzctccvz raopf-xeufvi ,erratic CLASS PROPHECY Dear Diary: May. 1960 I am delighted with 1ny new television set. It was made by the Oberlin Television Corporation of which Willard Oberlin is founder and president. I understand that some of the most improved features, including the smellevision attachment were perfected by Frank Lynn, also inventor of teletaste and teletouch. The agent was Scott Cook, the super-salesman. Anxious to try it out, I flicked the switch and beheld the third game of a crucial series in the Ladies National Baseball League. The victory of the Philadelphia Fillies over the Washington Senoritors was mainly due to the superb twirling of pitcher, Wilma Reinhart, while Mary Kepler kept the Senoritors in the ball game. Next came the usual afternoon deluge of sentimental dramas. I suf- fered through Betty Deck's Unrequited Love as interpreted by Helen Olds the great emotional actress. Following that I was the rapid beholder of the debate of the season be- tween the brilliant Rev. L. Wesley Pellett and the noted Dr. Darrell O. Miller. Ph. D., upon the highly controversial subject Practical Joking Should Be Made A Capital Offense. By this time the children were dropping in from school and taking off their parachutes, and I knew it was time for the adventure serials. Kenneth Jennings, Starring in f'Don Chislow of the Army offers an official badge of his Kahki Klub for two box tops for facsimiles thereofj from a carton of 'Zoo' animal crackers plus ten cents in stamps or coin tcoin preferredjf' At dinner time the news reports came along to spoil our appetites. I wish to remember the following excerpt from Ruth Thurber's rapid-fire comments. Quote! Flash! Biggest news of the day fexcluding the weatherj is the timely rescue of Rev. Donald Wischmeier, 'the missionary to the Martiansf from the kettle of some savages in the Crimson Canal district near the nega- tive pole of Mars. The hero was Bill Carpenter the space explorer who was rocketing back to his base camp on a satellite a few million miles away. Flash! Several leading feminine educators threw a bombshell into the Department of Education in Washington today by demanding that compul- sory college education be repealed. Those dissatisfied ladies include Jeannette Mutzfeld. instructor of differential calculus of Indiana University, Juanita Blackwell, professor of music, Indiana University: Eileen Carpenter, English, Radcliffg Betty Joy Hallett, physical education, Vassarg Jessie McCann, beauty culture. Northwestern Universityg Betty Rose Miller, economics, Duke, Lois Perry, Latin, Vanderbilt, and Deloris Rhoads, ethics, Leland Stanford Uni- versity. Madam Secretary, Elaine Cosper, admits she is astounded. Flash! I have information by the grapevine that Babs Banbury, the Page Twenty TROPAEUM l94f2 5 81 10 heiress, is secretly engaged to a prominent European nobleman. Flash! Comedienne Wilma Blaker has been summoned into a trafiic court for flying too slowly. Miss Blaker brands this an outrage and says she can prove she was doing well above the minimum of five hundred. HFlash! Treeva Houck has just been selected as Miss Universe for the tenth consecutive time, thus equalling a sort of record set by one Helen of Troy, a deb of several seasons ago. And speaking of winners, I have just received bulletins which say that the Nobel prize for chemistry goes to Naomi Oberlin for her work in measuring the eighth dimension, and the Pulitzer prize for journalism has been awarded to Thoris Culbertson, ace reporter of the Daily Grind, for her exposure of the Ghastly plot by the Venusians to lure the moon out of its orbit by use of magnetism. f'Flash! I am just reminded that a winner of another sort is Edith Mercer, whom the judges have just declared best in the husband calling contest. The next fifteen minutes were occupied by Reba Thiel's Style show. What Women Will Wear. She took the spectators on a televisic tour of Beatrice McCleery's Paradise Palace Salon which she highly recommends as the ideal place for women of fashion to shop. Everyone was breathless while time crept around to the Ralph Knox Variety Show. It is said that the government requires his sponsor to keep at least two specialists on hysterics in the studio audience when he is broadcast- ing.

May the things you planned and hoped for during your high school days come to pass in your lives with greater fruitfulness than your fondest expectations. School days are happy days. They slip away so rapidly and as they retire into the mist of the years how cherished are the little symbols which recall pleasant memories. That class ring, school letter, or award of one kind or another. What a host of memories they bring back. How well you will remember the day you received them and how you have treasured and guarded them ever since. About every golden memento of your school days there hangs already an aura of rich associations. They are like lit- tle bridges leading back to yesterday. No one of them will mean more to you or bring you deeper and richer memories than this-Tropaeum of 1940-which you have dedicated to those who have passed-as you are now passing-from thesc portals out into the problems of life. Now you are all together but in a few days you will be scattered far and wide. Come back to us and it will seem strange to you, a few years and there are only memories, memories that you would not erase even if you could. Ministers, lawyers, doctors, teachers, artists, and a host of other professional and industrial workers have builded upon the foundation received here and each of them has held aloft the banner of the Green and Gold. Were high school days empty of all else but friendships, four years would be but a trifle to take from the long chain of years, to burnish and set as a beacon to light the way be- yond. We are grateful to those who understand us, who sense our weaknesses and strengths, who, knowing us, yet love us and call us pals to the end of time. Come back to us whenever you wish, here you are always welcome, for we belong to you. Mr. Price.

Winning these contests made the band eligible for the national con- test. However, the national contests for bands are held every other year and 1939 was an odd year. Mrs. Stage received the merited honor of being elected secretary of the National Band Association. This is the First time during the existence of this association that this honor has been bestowed on a class C director. Thirty members of the band went to the solo and ensemble contest, March 30, held at Berne. The following Saturday. April 6, the winners, twenty in all, arrived at Elkhart to compete in the state contest. This included in the Senior Division, a brass sextette, a clarinet quartette, a saxophone quartette and Paul Loomis, competing in the baton twirling division of the contest. In the Junior Division, Carolyn Fanning playing a trombone solo, and a clarinet quartette tried for first division honors. Carolyn Fanning was the only one of the band members to win at Elkhart in the state contest.

This it does by means of the four C's: clean thoughts. clean speech, clean sports, and clean living. The club received seven new members at the beginning ol the year. making a total of nineteen. The activities of Hi-Y this year were chiefly devotional in character, as the boys met frequently to discuss problems in character and citizenship. The annual district conference of Hi-Y clubs was held at Auburn, and the otiicers represented the local club there. Page Tlzirtgf-Nine Tnfaopfxeum 194.0 Top Row: Mrs. Stage, E.

A -,lm-9KfL,O The Value of Athletics In the athletic field today is found the ideal philosophy of Americanism. So many of our past glorious ideologies are now tinted with scepticism and unfair practices that more than ever we turn to athletics where one wins on merit alone. The competition on the athletic field is fairer than any other competition known to society, in fact, it is the only competition where one may not get an unfair start, kick his hurdle into the other fellow's track or elbow his competitor with a fair prospect of getting away with the reward. It is not defeat that rankles, but unfair defeat. That some men should surpass others in talent, in industry, in material rewards of life is not the cause of unrest. There is just as much contentment among those in the second rank as among those in the first. It is the competition and not some benevolent scheme of equal division of honors that dominates athletics. The fairness of athletics is not underlaid with the socialistic philosophy. What athletics proves is that an even start, a free course and an honest award are possible, where competition is keenest and each man is striving to defeat the other. The standards that have been worked out in sports. if adapted to industrial and commercial life, would revolutionize human society and bring us into an entirely new era of prosperity, progress and human understanding.

Dove FIRST TEAM Late October found thirty-three boys rubbing elbows with each other for a chance to make the first or second teams in preparation for the tough sched- ule ahead in the annual basketball season. Many were recruits from last year's teams, although the majority were still green at the game. Unfor- tunately. Butler had lost most of her high-point men of the year before. mak- ing it necessary to move several inexperienced players up to the first ten positions. However, with the first game scheduled for November 1 with Hamilton. practice must go on. Game night came and Butler won 21-12. Next on our schedule was Angola for November 10. This was a swell game even if the Hornets did win by a score of 22-23. November 17 found Butler on her own Hoor playing Spencerville. thc Windmills winning by a 23-19 count. Butler was host to the sectional and regional champs when she encoun- tered Auburn on November 29. Auburn was too powerful and won out in a loosely-played game with a final score of 21-33. The LaGrange cagers visited Butler December 8 in an important Corner Pcigc Fortgl-Fire fgR 0 PgA E U Nl glg9 4gggQ Conference engagement, and gave the Green and Golds a trimming to the tune of 23-33. Butler went to Garrett December 9 and came home defeated by the Rail- roaders who steamed up a score of 23-43. The Waterloo Wildcats met Butler next and defeated the local quintet by a 12-31 score. The next game was played with Kunkle, Ohio, substituting for Hamil- ton. The Windmills won, the count being 29-24 as the gun sounded. Butler lost the first game of the new year to Fremont by a close score of 22-24. The game was played on the Fremont court. Jan. 13 brought the strong Bryan quintet here for the all-important Alumni Homecoming contest. The Ohioans were victorious 34-48. The Windmills finished out in front of the Albion team when that Corner Conference game was played there on Jan. 17. The final tally was 37-34. Avilla defeated Butler on Jan. 19 in a slow and listless game that finally ended with a score of 16-17. Hamilton was next in line, the Windmills crushing the Marines easily by a 31-15 score. In the second meeting of the year with Waterloo the Wildcats again proved too tough and downed the locals 20-35. Feb. 2 Butler was again defeated, this time by Kendallville. The Comets departed after winning 17-38. On Feb. 9 the Windmills journeyed to Fort Wayne to play Central Catholic, last year's National Champions, but were trounced 13-45. In the second meeting with Garrett the visitors were able to turn back the Butler five 24-45. Ashley played Butler here on Feb. 16 and went home victorious 14-20, the Windmills seeming to bog down after the strenuous games of the week before. Angola was Butler's guest on Feb. 23. The locals displayed the best ball of the season and stopped the Hornets 28-26. Butler was honored by having the sectional tournament at the gymnasium on February 29, March 1 and 2. Sixteen teams competed for the title of sec- tional champs. Butler and Auburn played the first game, Auburn annihilating the Windmills with a 13-44 count. Auburn went on to the finals where she dropped her title to the rampaging Railroaders of Garrett. Page Forty-Six TROPAEUM l94f Top Row: Hankey, Bryant, Eckright, Hollinger, Oberlin, G.

May 2 - Conference Meet at Angola. 1. Butler vs. Angola. 2. Waterloo vs. Ashley. 3. Winner Games 1 and 2. May 14 ee Albion, Here. The 1940 Spring weather brought out candidates for our national sport- Baseball. Under the guidance of coaches Jenkins and Beebe, Butler again vied for honors at the Corner Conference Meet held at Angola May 2. Our local club has excellent opportunity to excel in baseball, because of the athletic field, fine equipment, and the able coaching of Jenkins and Beebe. Butler's nine was made up mostly of underclassmen, who, however, should prove valuable in the future with plenty of experience behind them. Page Forty-Eight ROPAEUM i9-QC Top Row: M.

The play was very humorous and held the in- terest of the audience throughout. Bits of humor were added from time to time by the hilarious performance of the maid played by Betty Hallett. The play was well attended at both performances and was acclaimed a great success by all who witnessed it. Page Fifty-Tlz We u TQQP!-XEUM i9-lil OPERETTA Trudi ....

Dwight Ulm Under the fine direction of Miss Kester and Mr. Miller the Glee Clubs presented an operetta entitled 'tIn Grand Old Switzerland . As you probably guessed, the setting was in Switzerland. The plot concerned the Hsecret' romance of Trudi QMary June Devittj and Juli QPaul Loomisj. Their fathers, Herr Nops fLawrence Dunningj and Herr Bolliger fDon Wisch- meierj, appeared to disapprove of the love affair, but they really encouraged it. It became slightly complicated when Mrs. Miller, an American widow fCarolyn Fanningj, with her son and daughter fMartin Broekers and Nathalie Eysterj, visited the village. But with the help of Hedwig and Fritz, it came out perfectly and they lived happily ever after . With the aid of the chorus the operetta was very colorful.
