The name Tropaeum, which comes from Greek through the Latin and means 'ta memorial of victory, was selected from a large number of names submitted to the original publishers, as the one most representative of the spirit and purpose of their annual. The ancient Greeks erected a monument of spears, shields, and swords upon the field of victory as their tropaeum. The second volume of The Tropaeum was Published by the Class of 1908. Succeeding volumes were published an- nually until the First World War interrupted publications. The Tropaeum did not appear in the years 1917, 1918 and 1919. After the War, publication of The Tropaeum was resumed and has continued until the present time, except for an in- terval in the 1930's. No volumes were published during the years 1931-1934. With this volume the Class of 1946 continues the custom which was established by the Class of 1900. To Mr. Mr. Mr. Acknowledgements . . McCrory for his untiring aid with our many problems and his good- natured and never-ending patience with our mistakes and foibles, we are grateful. Harold Walker and Mr. Verl Oberlin for their splendid cooperation in securing for us the photographs which make this record real. Montague of the Fort Wayne Engraving Company, our appreciation for his valuable help in the arrangement and engraving of our cuts. The Higley Printing Company, for printing and binding our book, we owe our sincere gratitude. Those who purchased advertising we are extremely thankful, for the finan- All cial success has depended largely on the support of its advertisers. persons who have contributed in any small way to the success of this book we express our thanks. If we have helped you to re-live your school days in happy memories We shall leel amply repaid. -The Staff. Administration Your School Boord Mr. Mutzfeld is the president of the school board. He has been a member for nine years, and presides at the regular monthly meetings. These meetings are for the discussion of added improvements to the school, the school budget, the hiring of teachers, school personnel, and deciding upon school policies. l Mr. Maxton gives his extra time from his duties as owner of a local auto agency to serve as secretary of the Butler school board. He has been a member for five years. Dr. Hathaway became a member of the school board at the same time as Mr. Maxton. He serves as treasurer and has charge of the finances of the school- These men performed an excellent job during the past year, and We do appreciate their efforts. Ralph Mutzfeld C. J, Maxton Dr. C. B. Hathaway From the Gitice of Your Superintendent We have just completed our first school year since the peace has been declared. For four years it has been ours to attend school knowing that at the end of our school career we would not be permitted to enter business, or industry, or any institution of advanced learning in this democratic nation of ours, in- stead, we must enter an armed conflict to fight that others in the future might be al- lowed this privilege. No longer are we studying with destruc- tion as our goal. Now we study, that we may not make the same mistakes that have been made in the past, that we may help to formul- ate plans that all nations on the face of this earth may live peaceably together. Old bar- riers must be destroyed and new frontiers arise in their stead. It is the duty of each of us to add our bit that this may come to pass. It is for us in school, as in industry, to reconvert our think- ing along the lines of constructive endeavor. PAUL HARDING A. B. Butler University M. S. Ed.

L A... MILDRED STECKLEY Dough Girls 1, 2, 3, 4, Band 2, 3, 4, Glee Club 3, 4, Blue Triangle 2. 3, 4. Officers of the Class of '46 Kenneth Groff, Bill Adams, Allen Dirrim, and Bill Rosenberry. Some More History - This Time the Closs of '46 In the fall of 42 we enrolled in B. H. S. to make our first showing, which proved successful. At first it was difficult for us to adjust ourselves to the new surroundings, but later we became acquainted with the students, and some of us joined in activities such as Glee Club, F. F. A., Junior and Senior Band, Track, Baseball, Basketball, and Dough Girls. We organized our class by electing officers. Our President was Billy Anderson, Secre- tary-Treasurer, Maxine Wann. To make a good beginning, we chose as our motto- Per aspera ad astra , flower, American Beauty rose, colors, cardinal and white. We were fortunate to get to help with the different war projects under the leadership of Miss Butler. As we gradually turned our revolving door, we swung into another year of education. Fellow-mates, we are now sophomores. We again elected officers, with DeVon Hough as President, Helen Barkman, Secretary, and Mary Ellen Silberg at Treasurer. There were two new students, Doris Dick- son and Donelda Cox, who came to join us this year, and two of our mates, James Knox and Wendell Krontz, left us to help in the aid of our country. Some students had the honor of belonging to the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y. Now that we had found our way around on the first floor, we could make ourselves at home with Miss Metz and Mr. Berg as our guides. Our officers this year were, Alice Dirrim as President, Bill Rosenberry, Vice-President, Polly Baldwin, Secretary, and Lynn Fuller, Treasurer. We Jolly Juniors had the pleasure of being hosts and hostesses of the Junior-Senior Recep- tion. A circus was used as our theme. Some of our mates had the privilege of presenting the successful Junior Play, g'The Student Queen, under the direction of Mrs. Verl Oberlin. After three years of companionship and working together, we were ready to take the escalator to the last floor of our education in B. H. S. Mrs. Stage and Mr. McCrory were the guides who led the way for us. Our class officers were Kenneth Groff, President, Bill Rosenberry, Vice-Presi- dentg Allen Dirrim, Secretary, and Bill Adams, Treasurer. We were very busy trying to make our last year a big success. Some students were again honored to present A Case of Springtime, our Senior Play, which Mrs. Verl Oberlin directed. She 'left us at the end of the first semester and Mr. May came to take her place. One of our classmates, Jacob Keesler, left us to serve in the Navy. Some of our class members were guests at Pauld- ing, Ohio, to talk on the Junior Town Meeting of the Air. Doris Nodine and Donald Newcomer were Butler's speakers. Allen Dirrim and Velma Dohner both asked the speakers questions. Their topic was, Shall there be compulsory military training? The annual staff has been busy working on the annual with Allen Dirrim as Editor-in-Chief. We seniors have been very fortunate to be able to graduate from B, H. S. and go out into a world of peace. We have enjoyed working to- gether these past four years in spite of the hardships we have had, and as we close the doors behind us on our high school friends, we wish them a fond farewell. -Janet Houck. Believe lt or Not - Us In Ten Years When I picked up the receiver tonight, Operator Campbell, the former Janet Houck ignored my signal and talked on to her partner Lois Ginder. I noticed they were discussing my visit home and their former classmates of 46. So I listened to their conversation. A main event had taken place last week. The Butler Green Devils, consisting of Richard fLeftyJ Flynn, Kenneth fRedj Groff, Lynn QTubbyJ' Fuller, and William fSkinneyJ Adams played the hard-hitting Pistons, win- ning by the score of 100-2. Manager William QShortyJ Rosenberry gave his opinion of the game by saying, It was a tough battle, but we won. Since our team has been handicapped by the loss of Gene fNo-Hitj Snyder, we have been playing with four men instead of the regular five. 'No-hit' Snyder left us this last week. He has been called to duty as cheer-leader for Yale University. Another attraction that same evening was the appearance of the Twirl- ing Three, beautiful and fascinating Ann Baldwin, De Wann and Jeannie McKee, who had finished a tour of Europe and were on vacation before going back to Hollywood. They succeeded in thrilling their audience by tossing their batons in the air and letting the crowd catch them for souvenirs. Other celebrities attending the game were Helena Ricketts, Clarissa Bone, formerly Joan Smith, and Morrissa Bone, formerly Rhea Blanchard. They were here to attend the premier of their latest picture We Three, written by Evelyn Adams, and produced by Mildred Steckley. Naomi Brown and Velma Dohner also had leading roles. They mentioned War Correspondent Les Brown's articles about peace- time morale. This week's article covered the excellent work the Butler U. S. O. is sponsoring. The U. S. O- is operated by young and desirable Norma Moran and Barbara Kline. They had as their guest this last week, Dore Ris, formerly Doris Dickson, Hollywood's talented star. Lois described the beautiful drawings of Bernard Rohrer in Vogue magazine. She also described This wife, Doris Nodine Rohrer as a great conversationalist. The youngest son of Mrs. Robert Cornelius, who before her marriage was Joy Roland, was taken to school this morning by Truant Officer Bar- bara Miller. Miss Miller is very strict with the children about attending school regularly. She maintains the idea that a child has no excuse for be- ing late or tardy unless ill with a contagious disease. It was mentioned that the Three Jitterbugsn-Mary Dohner, Donelda Cox, and Genieve Ginder-competed with Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth for the National Jitterbug Championship, which took place in Butler last week. I was sorry to hear that they received second place. My old classmate Charles Oberlin, now president of the Wabash Rail- road, has hired an English teacher to give free lessons to his employees. He dislikes hearing the wrong pronunciation of words. The telephone buzzed with news of Jean Hollinger's last quarrel with Ruth Cotrill. Jean insists that Ruth should drop out of the Miss 1956 contest- Unless the quarrel is settled, their devotion for each other will end in disaster. Our two geniuses of 46, Scientist Allen Dirrim and Doctor Don New- comer, have given the world a cure for Rubeola, a contagious eruptive febrile disorder, commonly called Measles. This terrible disease has given the medical profession a great deal of perturbation. After such a long and interesting conversation, I realized my ten years away from Butler had been the milestones of my former classmates' lives. -Grace Naitzka. Last Will and Testament - And What We Mean, lt's Leaal We, the class of 1946, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make this our last will and testament, giving to the underclassmen and faculty some of our outstanding abilities and useful articles that we had during our four years of high school.

We heard the bell ring loud and clear Upon that bright fall morning. From thence on thru the busy years, That bell would be our warning. We were a frightened little group That gathered at the school house door. Who were taught to say yes maml' and sir, To be quiet as a mouse, and more. Thru the mysteries of the three R's we progressed Hippity hopped the grades thru, Formed our friendships and our pals- Most of them true blue. In basketball We did excell, The scores we made ran high. The good old Windmills carried thru With scarcely ever a tie. Many an honor was won in band. Accomplished musicians are We. Just look at our trophies and you'll understand. They are truly a .sight to see. So in the big world we must go And learn the trial of life. Fence with problems small and great, Cope with things of strife. But we will carry a memory dear Of good old Butler Schools And each will take his separate path, And keep the golden rule. -Bernard Rohrer. gr at ' ,f 3 ss 3 First Row-Dignified U7 and Polly on Memorial Day. and Norma just sittin' back in the good old Geraldine and Wayne Red!

But we, the Class of 1946, believe that it is fitting and proper that you should be included in our year book. You have taken as much interest in our school as we have, and you have established an out- standing record of achievement. J No matter what event was sponsored by the school this past year, the grade school always led the rest. And we feel that such achievement should A not go unrecognized and unrewarded. For it is that kind of pupils that we want to see take the helm in Butler High School. That is why we are KEITH BEEBE giving you this place in our Tropaeum.

Stage, maintained its high standard of excellence established by Butler bands of previous years, The enthusiastic band played peppy, and encouraging marches at basketball games throughout the season.

Director, Clare Ulm. Music fills the air! Opera selections, Negro spirituals, folk songs, and even popular numbers from Your Hit Parade rang through the halls during chorus rehearsals. Every boy and girl in high .school who desired was given the opportunity to sing and to learn to sing. Under the direction of Mr. Ulm, the chorus met every Tuesday and Thursday during the third period, and into that hour went a lot of hard work. Members of the chorus learned how to read music and the art of singing together in harmony. Of course all of those in the chorus cannot become stars of the opera or concert stage. Perhaps there was not one Gladys Swarthout or Nelson Eddy in the group. But the chorus did create in everyone an appreciation of good music, and each one learned that it's fun to sing.

S., are fortunate in having three good ones. Mr. Jenkins, our varsity bas- ketball, track, and assistant baseball, coach, returned to the fold of the Green and Gold after a year's experience in the Fort Wayne schools. Previously he had been your coach for six years. In his seven years as coachpat Butler he has made a creditable record in sports- manship as Well as athletic achievement. CLETIS JENKINS Mr. Beebe coached our baseball team and the Tankheaters, reserve basket- ball team. His baseball team won the 1 JAMES CATHER Corner Conference championship The 'fTankheaters gave us a preview of the future Windmillls. Mr. Cather, the Junior High basket- ball mentor, continued to produce top talent for future VVind1nill squads. Although this yearls season was not as successful as some in the past, the boys profited from the training and sportsmanship as taught by these men. Your Windmills Ploy Each year the Windmills engage in three major sports. In the Fall it is baseball, in the Winter, basketballg and in the Spring, track. The 1945 baseball season opened with a home-and-home series with Edon, Ohio. Edon won the first game, 6 to 2, and the second 25 to 6. But in doing that, the Buckeyes taught the Windmills some baseball-apparently. For the Windmills went on from there to win the State Corner Conference Championship. Basketball is by far the most popular sport with both the students and the townspeople. A large crowd turned out for each of the home games, and an enthusiastic group of rooters followed the team on the road. The Ubleacher referees added color to every occasion. In general, it may be said that, while the Windmills were not the best in the history of the school, it was a good team and one we could well be proud of. During the season, the Windmills Won ten games and lost eight, and in both the County Tourney and the Sectional it took the cham- pions tAshleyJ to beat them. The Windmill thinly clads opened the track season in a triangular meet with Albion and Garrett on the Garrett cinders. Although the track team lacked the outstanding performers of last season, it was a well-balanced squad. During its season it went through an attractive schedule which included appearances in the Goshen Relays and the star-studded Kokomo Relays.
