Page 6 Administration School Board THE BOARD OF EDUCATION is appointed by the Town Board to manage the business of the schools: to appropriate and spend the money, to determine the policies of the school, to care for the buildings and grounds, and to select the executive and teach- ing staffs. MR. RALPH MUTZFELD, President, has been an active member of the Board for the past eleven years. In addition to his duties on the school board, Mr. Mutz- feld helps to manage a large and progressive hardware business. In his spare time, he enjoys playing his cor- net. And he enjoys a good game of golf in the Florida sun. DR. C. B. HATHAWAY, Treasurer, has been a member of the Board for the past seven years. Al- though the practice of medicine keeps him very busy, Dr. Hathaway manages to find time to take a deep in- terest in basketball games. And he always gets in that bit of hunting and fishing way up North. • ; ' ' mr W ■■ - , .... MR. FRANK KORSMEYER, Secretary, served on the Board the first time this year.

Page 14 Class History MEARLY four years ago, we, the seniors of today and citizens of tomorrow, brought forth to Butler High School ourselves, conceived in youth, desire, ideals, and ambition .... dedicated to the proposition that few freshmen are as promising as we. After being placed under the guidance of Miss Allman and Mr. Wood, we chose Jack Michael, Max Webb, and Nyal Casebere to serve as our president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. The ac- tivities of our forty-six members included band, chorus, Dough Girls, F.F.A., baseball, basketball, and track. As sophomores we numbered forty-one. Our sponsors were Mrs. Ober- lin and Mr. Unger, and our officers were President, Jim Haas; Vice-Presi- dent, George Oberlin; Secretary, John Briegel; and Treasurer, Wayne Frakes. We were now eligible for the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y, and many of us gained entrance. This year, as in all of our high school years, several of our band members received recognition in both the district and state ensemble contests. Only thirty-two of us returned to B. H. S. as juniors. Our sponsors for this eventful year, Mr. May and Mr. Oberlin, spent most of their time recuperating from the ill effects of hay rides and the like. Jim Knox, John Briegel, and George Oberlin became in succession the president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer of our class. The first semester we proudly flashed our newly-received class rings and disturbed the peaceful citizens of the town with our house to house sale of Christmas cards. During this year the Romani Hodierni was organized. The Dough Girls became the F.H.A. and the Girl Reserves the Tri-Hi-Y. Our actresses and actors met great success with the three-act comedy, A Credit To The Family, and a new type of in-between acts was exposed to and approved by the residents of Butler and surrounding towns. Many of our athletes proved themselves to be outstanding on the hardwood, diamond, and cinders. The school year ended with our p ' aying host to the Junior-Senior Reception held in the lovely Potawatomi Inn of Pokagon State Park. As seniors, we were a dignified but happy group of thirty-three stu- dents (?). With the able assistance of Mr. Oberlin and Mr. Pepple we directed our main efforts toward the goal of a spring trip to Washington, D. C. The class officers were President, Jim Knox; Vice-President, Cal Richerd; Secretary, Elinor Carpenter; and Treasurer, George Oberlin. Our grey and scarlet class sweaters were distributed at the beginning of the year and we later conducted a city-wide paper drive to help raise funds for our ' 48 Tropaeum. Under the direction of Mr. May, we presented our skits and three-act comedy, Foot-loose, to an even greater audience than that of the previous year. The second semester brought scholarship exams for college-minded students, cold weather for our tobogganing parties, the stage production, Follies of 48, and graduation. Our Alma Mater will very little note nor long remember what the Class of ' 48 has said here; but it can never forget what we have done here. Elinor Jean Carpenter.

Miss Marilou Smurr was the accompaniest. Although the Glee Club did not make many public appearances during the year, the members received a great deal of music appre- ciation from the large number of vocal selections which they sang at regular meetings of the group. On October 23, Elinor Carpenter, George Smith, James Haas and Linda Harding represented our Glee Club in the All-District Chorus which sang before the Northeastern Indiana Teachers Association at Fort Wayne. Like the band, the Glee Club climaxed its season with the local Spring Music Festival and the DeKalb County Musical Festival.

Page 28 The Butler High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Clare Ulm, was composed of forty-five members, several of whom were junior high school pupils. During the past year the band made several public appearances. In July it played at the annual Fisherman ' s Jubilee at Angola, where it won second prize in competition with bands from several other schools in northeastern Indiana and northwestern Ohio. It also ap- peared at the Auburn Fair and the Fremont Halloween Festival. The band played at each of our home basketball games, and put on special performances at two of them — just before the Christmas holidays and on Valentine Day. As a climax to its season, the band participated in the local Spring Music Festival on April 4, and the DeKalb County Music Festival at Auburn on April 11. The music festivals have taken the place of the State Band contests. Band Page 29 Footloose —The Senior Play— The Senior Class of Butler High School presented Foot-Loose, a comedy in three acts by Charles Quimby Burdette, in the gymnasium Wednesday evening November 12, under the direction of Mr. Francis E. May. The four over-supervised Early offsprings have a chance to try their own wings when their parents — spurred on by travel bul- letins, the urging of their children, and the neighbor ' s example — go off on a long- delayed cruise. Bob (George Kandel) finds out about living your own life. It means ironing your own shirts when you can ' t find a clean one, with wise-cracking Buzz (Rich- ard Freidenberger) haunting him with sarcastic remarks. Mary (Jeanette Rohrer) who was get- ting pretty fed up with being treated like a child, learns about cooking too — the hard way. Hope (Emmajean Hagerty) finds that the job of supervising is no picnic when she lets the purse-strings get a little out-of-hand. After many struggles through great dif- ficulties, the play is brought to a happy con- clusion with the aid of the rest of the cast: Randolph (Randy) Cunningham (George Smith) , Delphie (Louise Oberlin) , Dick Early (Wayne Frakes) , Emily Early (Don- elda Miller), Richard Early (George Ober- lin), Miriam Walker (Frances Wilson), Jenny Malloy (Elinor Carpenter), Jack Millford (Jack Michael), Mrs. Forestor (Marilou Smurr) , and Sanford Welles (J ames Haas) . The Production Staff consisted of: Prop- erties, Everett Newcomer, Genevieve Boyer and Betty Sawvel; Stage Manager, Calvin Rickerd; Assistants, John Willard and Jack Oberlin. Prompters, John Briegel, Everett Newcomer, and John Willard. This class will be long remembered for the high standards of entertainment which it set in its ' 47 and ' 48 dramatic presenta- tions. Paee 30 A Little Honey —The Junior Play— A Little Honey, a three-act comedy by William Davidson, was presented by the Junior Class in the school gymnasium on Friday evening, April 23, and Monday morning, April 26. The play was under the direction of Mr. Francis E. May. Mrs. Minton (Marilyn Moughler) was one of those bossy souls who insisted on living everyone else ' s life as well as her own. She had taught Diana (Margaret Rohrer) that the way to interest a man was to be able to talk fluently on subjects dear to a man ' s heart — baseball, car- buretors, the stock market. Diana had tried it — with disastrous results. While she talked, Tom (Philip Raney) went off to the Pacific without a word about an en- gagement. Now Tom is back and coming for his first date. Mother coaches Diana until she sounds like a bureau of statistics, and Tom suddenly develops a previous en- gagement and leaves. Diana is crushed, and then Grandma (Gaynell Janke) takes a hand. She shows Diana how to dress the stage and herself for a proposal. It works for a while — Tom is practically ready to pop the question until kind sister Jerry (Nancy Underhill) and her heart throb. Albert (Keith Kaiser) barge in and give the scheme away. As if that isn ' t enough, the cook (Shirley Grimm) is on a rampage. A Southern widow (Donna Jennings) has tossed her income tax problems in Mr. Minton ' s (Bob Thompson) lap, and hopes to toss herself there next; Grandma is mad at the trained nurse (Mary Korsmeyer) who has been hired to see that she doesn ' t eat pork. Scoots (Joy Keesler) and her frog, along with the Sure-Shot man (Bill Mutzfeld) add more to the complications. Nobody else ' s advice has worked, so Diana tries her own — and explodes into a tumultuously funny and appealing scene that races right up to the final curtain. (P. S. Diana gets her man!) Members of the Production staff were: Stage Manager, Gene Casebere; Assistant Stage Manager, Robert Harrold; Prompters, Joan Likes, Maxine Griffin; Business Man- ager, Bettyjean Dielman. Page 31 The Senior Follies A mellerclramer, a barber-shop quartet reminiscent of the Gay 90 ' s, slanderous impersonations, and black-face comedians! All that, and more too, was the Senior Follies of 1948. On the night of March 17, the Senior class presented to the students and the public something entirely new and different in the way of enter- tainment. The Senior Follies was a series of skits, one-act plays, and musical numbers done royally by a group noted for the high quality of its dramatic work. Jack Michael acted as Master of Ceremonies, and every member of the class contributed to the program as his talents would permit. The Senior Follies were prepared and produced under the direction of Mr. Verl Oberlin.

Page 37 Hodierni Romani Romani Hodierni ( Romans of Today ) is the local chapter of the Junior Classical League. The club was organized in the Spring of 1946 and received its charter from the national organization early in 1948. Its pur- pose is to hand on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world. The Latin Club held regular meetings on the last Monday of each month during the school year. At these meetings the members became acquainted with Roman writers whom they normally do not have an opportunity to meet in their regular courses — Vergil, Cicero and Ovid. After each meet- ing there followed enjoyable entertainment, consisting of Roman games or spelldowns. During the holidays, a Christmas party was held. In spite of one of the heaviest snowfalls of 1947, we had a merry time at the home of Elinor Carpenter. With the typical Christmas spirit, we exchanged gifts and en- joyed oodles of food. The officers of the club were: Consul, Emmajean Hagerty; Proconsul, Sue Cather; Scriba, Calvin Rickerd; and Quaestor, Emily Weirich.

Page 38 Sports Coaches STAN PEPPLE— started his teaching and coaching career in Butler this year by proving to us that he was every bit as capable and quite some more than we had hoped for. He is a very ambitious young coach with plenty of school-spirit and basketball know-how. The TROPAEUM desires to acknowledge your fine work, Mr. Pepple, and wishes you the best of good luck in future seasons. Stanley Pepple This year, the Butler reserve team was coached again by KEITH BEEBE, who led his boys through a very successful season of basketball, showing them the way to their second consecutive Corner Conference championship. Mr. Beebe is also head baseball coach and assistant track coach. Keith Beebe The man who prepares athletes for Butler High School is MR. JAMES CATHER, coach of the Jr. Hi. Mr. C ather spends a lot of time with the future Windmills, keeping them actively engaged in various athletics throughout the year.

JEANETTE ROHRER and GEORGE SMITH did an excellent job this year as varsity cheerleaders. Even when the go- ing was rough, they kept the students pull- ing for the team. DONNA J. JENNINGS and MAR- GARET ROHRER added a lot of color to our basketball games while leading cheers for the second team. In their first year, they performed like veterans. Page 41 Li Bh ■ ' wF ytHM ¥ ®wW SmBKwmmBR ■ • ' ■ ii Varsity Basketball When Coach Stan Pepple issued the first call for basket- ball players, he was answered by a large group of boys who were eager to gain positions on the varsity squad. Although all of last year ' s starting five had graduated, the reserve players and all of the conference championship second team reported for t; - y-outs. But it was clear from the start that the squad lacked the size to match its experience. Facing competition that was unusually keen, the boys played hard throughout the season, winning eight games and losing fourteen. Many of the games, on both sides of the record, were decided by very small margins of one, two, and three points. In every game the team displayed sportsman- like conduct and splendid mental attitude and spirit for which they are to be congratulated. Six of this year ' s team — Jack Michael, Norman Keesler, Jim Haas, Calvin Rickerd, George Kandel, and Nyal Case- bere — were Seniors. At the close of the season those boys received letter sweaters and a trip to the State Tourney at Indianapolis. Clockwise from lower left-hand corner — Richard Shultz, Bob Thompson, Norman Keesler, Jack Michael, Ted Abbott, Jim Haas, George Kandel, Raymond Moughler, Nyal Casebere, Calvin Rickerd, Ed Gengnagel, Burton Campbell.

Third Row — Bob Wolfe, Duard Bellamy, Bill Mutzfeld, Bill Hathaway, Jerry Beebe, Keith Beebe (Coach). Under the direction of Coach Keith Beebe, the In- juns had a very successful season. They finished their regular schedule with a record of eighteen games won and three games lost, and won undisputed possession of the Corner Conference championship. For the second consecutive year, the Injuns were undefeated in confer- ence competition. The Milk Bottle is almost a per- manent fixture in the trophy room. Although they were heavy favorites to win the DeKalb County B-Team Tourney, the Injuns were de- feated by Garrett in the finals 31-24. During the season this team also sent two boys up the varsity, and prepared several more for similar posi- tions in the future. Page 44 Baseball Just as soon as school took up last fall, the familiar old cry of Play Ball! rang out across the Athletic Field, and a large num- ber of boys turned out for baseball. Most of the boys were in very good shape since they had played with the American Legion Baseball team during the summer. We were very fortunate in having quite a large pitching staff, composed of Casebere, Beebe, and Gengnagel, and a capable catcher, Norman Jake Keesler, behind the plate. The team had a very successful season, winning five out of eight games and copping the Corner Conference Championship with a 15 to 6 victory over Fremont. Since there were only four Seniors on the squad — Norman Keesler, Nyal Casebere, Jim Haas, and George Kandel, the majority of the squad received valuable experience for another season.

The schedule included such teams as Angola, Auburn, Leo, Garrett, Metz. Fremont, St Joe, Waterloo, Hicksville, Montpelier, O., end Edgerton, O. Two other teams also performed for Butler this year: A team com- posed entirely of sixth and seventh grade boys, and another composed of country boys. The boys on the country team were Walter Slentz, Jack Nelson, Robert Nelson, Duane Weicht, and Eugene Harrold. Em- phssis this year was p ' aced more upon the number of boys trained than upon a select group, since the object of Junior High Basketball is to train players rather than to build up impressive records. The attractive new uniforms in which the Junior High basketball team appeared this year were presented to them by Mr. D. M. Marshall and Mr. C. J. Maxton. The cheerleaders for the team — selected from the eighth grade — were Evelyn Knox, Marilyn Rimmel, Peggy Worthington, and Marilyn Ginder. Page 46 Track The history of track in Butler High School dates back only a decade. In the Spring of 1938 the squad finished behind Albion for second place in the Corner Conference meet. Butler also finished second in the next two years, but each time the margin decreased. In 1941 Butler won her first Conference Championship and has won seven consecutive championships since. Among the outstanding performers produced by Butler track teams have been Lewis Blanchard, who won the State Championship in the Mile in 1945 with a time of 4:34.2; Jack Michael, who placed third in the Mile at the State Finals in 1947 with a time of 4:35.0; and the 1947 Medley Relay team, which won both the Goshen and Kokomo Relays. That team was made up of Clarence Harter, Reynold Johnson, Norman Keesler, and Jack Michael. Clarence Harter and Bob Thompson were outstanding performers in the 100 yard dash on the 1947 team. Both won places in the secional meet at Fort Wayne, and Thompson placed in the strong Kokomo Relays. % Top Row, left to right — Bill Thompson finishing strong in the 100-yard dash, Cal Rickerd clearing the bar in the high jump, Nyal Casebere in the low hurdles. Bottom Row — Ray Moughler leading another heat in the hurdles, Jack Michael and Norm Keesler passing the baton in a relay, and Jack Michael winning the mile run in the Corner Conference meet. Page 47 Sports included organized physical education classes for freshmen and sophomore girls and boys as well as interscholastic athletics. Outside of classes an extensive program of intramural competition was carried on.

May 21, 1968 Mrs. Sue Robbins Ulm Kings Court South Key West 7, Florida Dear Sue, As I sat in the waiting room of the renowned Tooth Specialist, Dr. G. Edgar Oberlin MDLSMFT, exchanging bits of gossip with his secretary, Miss Mary Louise Oberlin, I saw a curious but familiar gentleman staring at me across the room. Suddenly it dawned on me that it was none other than the famous R. Freidenberger, inventor of the fifty cent cigar — El Freedas, guaranteed not to stunt your growth. When I reached the inner office, I informed Dr. Oberlin that our boy Friday was outside. We invited him in and then settled down for an old-fashioned bull session. I learned that among Dr. Oberlin ' s better paying customers was R. Yates the famous jockey at Churchill Downs. He had his teeth removed so that his horse, Flying Milkweed, would have less weight to carry. A few days later, I left for Alaska on important business. I called New- comer American Beauty Rose Cab Inc. (Everett always was sentimental about our class flower) . However, all their cabs were in the other end of town. I couldn ' t wait an hour for a cab, so I decided to try my luck in picking up a cab from the street below. As I started to replace the receiver, I was reminded of Miss Marilou Smurr, The Belle of the Telephones. I no sooner reached the curb, than up flashed a new Oberlin Casebere sedan, manufactured by Jack Oberlin and Nyal Casebere Inc. As I entered the cab, I yelled, Penn. station, and step on it! Then what should I discover, but that the driver of the cab was Boob Bowman, Bob Bowman ' s son. I asked about Bob, and learned that he had retired a year or so ago. Bob and his wife, the former Janet Blaine, were wintering on the French Riviera. Bob has installed glass bottoms in all his cabs so that the drivers can see all the pedestrians they run down. After I paid my fare, a Red Cap took my luggage. At the ticket office, I learned that my train for Spokane wasn ' t due for three hours. I proceeded to the cafeteria for a quick bite. My order was taken by Frances (Wilson) Detrich. Frances looked quite ravishing with huge golden ear-rings dangling from each ear. She told me that I had just missed my old buddie-buddie, the Olympic Champion mile runner, Jack Michael and his trainer, D. J. Knox, by just a few minutes! I was very disappointed as I hadn ' t seen the lads since we met in Sweden in ' 61. That year I ran across Genevieve Boyer and her husband celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary. On the same vacation trip I saw Mr. George Kandel, who was there purchasing cattle for his ranch in Wyoming. Since the time for departure was rapidly approaching, I pr oceeded to the gate where my train was preparing to get under way. As I climbed aboard, who astounded me by taking my ticket, but John Willard. He said that he had been vnth the company for eight years. John said that he thought he recognized Sen. Mock getting on the train. I immediately headed (Continued on page 53) Page 51 Time for Play Always Pays SILVER MOON ROLLER RINK GOOD CLEAN FUN DRINK POKAGON ORANGE ANGOLA BOTTLING WORKS Angola, Indiana A.E. PHELPS FRIGIDAIRE APPLIANCES PHONE 3 BUTLER, INDIANA Paee 52 Class Prophecy (Continued from page 51) for the smoker, knowing that was where he would be if he were on the train. I walked eighteen cars forward, and sure enough, there he was, bald as could be. He told me he was just returning from Washington, D. C. after straightening the President out on a few important matters. He was very much disgusted with what was going on at the Capitol. The difficulty in- volved pensions for under-paid teachers. Sen. Bud was very much op- posed to the bill. The Senator left the train at Harrisburg. and I travelled on alone. A day later, I found myself in Spokane, Washington. Dead tired, I found a room in a small hotel. Still the same night, I made flight reservations for the grand finale of my journey. The meal was brought up to my room by another classmate, Du Wayne Martin. For desert, I had old-fashioned cream pie. I couldn ' t help raving about it, and much to my dismay, I learned that Betty Sawvel and her husband had been working for years in the kitchen. I grabbed Du Wayne by the arm and rushed down to the kitchen. We spent a gay hour renewing old friendships. Betty informed me that Donelda Miller, another classmate, had married a high-school chum and was re- siding in Indianapolis. I asked Betty how they happened to come to Harris- burg, and she told me that Max Webb, who is now the head of a chain of hotels, had requested them to come. I asked where Max was then, and they said that he was in Burmuda, opening another hotel. The next morning I went to the Airport and boarded a plane owned by the Rohrer Air Lines, the only airline in the world with women aviators, co- pilot, and ground crew. I fastened my belt very securely, but I wasn ' t wor- ried as I knew the women of the lines fairly well. In a few minutes, we were zooming through the stratosphere at a tremendous speed. Like a flash of lighning, three objects streaked by the window making me feel as though our plane w re standing still. My hostess, who was Emmajean Hagerty, in- formed me that it was the three Devil-may-care Brothers in their Hi- speed jet jobs. I later found that the three brothers consisted of: Norman Keesler, agriculturist; Richard Larkin, Playboy; and Jim Haas, movie actor. The last I had heard about her was when she was a secretary. She said (con- fidentially) that her bosses ' wives forced them to fire her. She said that she felt that being an air line hostess for Miss Rohrer was much safer. That was the last I heard of any of my classmates, until a week later in Nome. I received an invitation to dinner from Col. Robert Slentz of the U.SAA.F. Col. Slentz was credited with fourteen planes in the late World War III. Other guests at the bachelor ' s party were: Prof. John Briegel of Yale University; Mr. Calvin Rickerd, former Secretary of State; and Doctor Geo. Smith, who gave the after dinner address. He told about his expedition to China to establish a more extensive educational system. Later in the evening, he told me that he had run across the multi-millionaire, Elinor Carpenter. George said that she attributed her success to doing the op- posite of being told! This is the latest information I could obtain, Sue. I hope this will be of some assistance in your new book. Have you thought of a title? Might I suggest one? Why not call it Memoirs of My Fellow Classmates by Sue Robbins Ulm. . , Sincerely, _, _„ Wayne Frakes.

The BUTLER VOLUNTEER FIREMEN became a permanent organ- ization of our community in the year 1896. Since 1930, the firemen have made 400 calls of one kind and another in Butler and in the surrounding area. This organization has probably done more in the way of service to the town than any other local organization. The members volunteer their services to our community at any time of day or night and in all kinds of weather. The employers of the members are also a very cooperative group as they allow them to leave their work for any emergency without loss of time. We, the citizens, should be deeply appreciative of the good work they are doing. Throughout the entire basketball season of this year, on each evening when a high school game was being played in our gymnasium, a number of these men were in and around the school, helping, wherever they were needed. Everyone — student, teacher, teacher and patron — is pleased that such an or- ganization is so interested in our children and their activities that the mem- bers felt that it was their civic responsibility to help. It is to recognize this service and to express our appreciation that we have given this space in our annual to the Butler Volunteer Firemen. Page 76 What to do in case of FIRE FIRST— Immediately call Butler Telephone Operator, giving full Name and exact location from Butler. SECOND — Do what you can to keep fire checked. THIRD — Make available any water supply, such as cistern, water tank, creek or pond. Fill all available clean containers, such as pails, milk cans or tubs, as these can be readily poured into fire truck. CAUTION As soon as someone arrives have them keep the highway, driveway or lane clear of vehicles so it is possible for the fire truck to get to the fire. -SAFETY FIRST- Don ' t neglect your chimneys. Don ' t put ashes in wood containers. Don ' t pour gasoline in car, truck or tractor while running or by open flame. Don ' t use inflamable cleaning fluid. Don ' t use faulty brooder stoves. Don ' t overload your wiring by using too heavy fuses. TO THE PUBLIC This equipment was made possible through taxation. Therefore it belongs to the taxpayers of these four Townships. No direct charge will be made to any one unfortunately enough to have a fire. THE EQUIPMENT It is the latest in Fire Fighting Equipment, designed for the specific needs of this district and will be manned by The Butler Volunteer Fire Depart- ment.
