THE ARMY OF LEARNING W E GAZED with pride upon the fifty recruits, entering the Army of Learning, stationed at Butler High School. We were energetically prepar ed to take up our duties and privileges. Soon we were acquainted with the daily routine and settled down to earnest work. For further ac- complishment we organized our group, led by President Imogene Capp. We then became known as the class of ' 44. After completing our basic training, we were granted our first furlough. As the division of ' 44 returned, we found ourselves battling the funda- mentals of Algebra, translating Caesar, and digging into World History. This year we elected Robert Fisher, President; Wilbur DiehJ, Vice President; Bob Alwood, Secretary-treasurer. Various members entered other activities to complete and advance their school training. This development was pro- vided by organizations such as Dough Girls, F. F. A., Blue Triangle, Hi-Y, and Glee Club. Others excelled in athletics, music, and art. As the year grew to a close we considered our progress in learning worthy of note. As our Junior year began to form, we took pride in finding a class- mate, Oliver Bungard, serving in our Country ' s great Navy. Some of our members revealed hidden talents, when they portrayed characters in our Junior play. It was entitled Professor, How Could You? a comedy which proved to be a success. We also had the pleasure of sponsoring the annual Junior-,Senior Banquet. We chose the Navy as our theme. Our officers for this term were President, Charles Jennings; Vice President, Lois Nico- demus; Secretary-treasurer, Imogene Capp. At the completion of this year, we were prepared for the last phase of our training in Butler High. As we surveyed our class in the fall of ' 43 we found thirty able members ready to continue their search for knowledge. Two of our classmates, Dick Dove and Wilbur Diehl, had chosen to serve their Country as members in the U. S. Navy. Our class was served by President, Imogene Capp; Vice President, Bob Upp; Secretary, Jim Provines; Treasurer, Ralph Seltenright. Our Senior play The All American Family was another comedy success. As we looked upon our great Nation ' s battle for freedom, we elected Mary Mutzfeld as Miss Butler, to lead the student body in our War Bond and Stamp sales. Salvage campaigns were also a part of our drive to help in- sure certain Victory. We have now come to the crossroad of training and experience. We look with pride to the happy years we have spent together here at BHS. We look with confidence and wonder to the years ahead of us. We, as the class of ' 44, move quietly from our place here, for those who are rapidly rising to fill it. WANDA BRIEGEL. Page Sixteen
