Butler High School - Tropaeum Yearbook (Butler, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 94 of the 1949 volume:

CE-N ALLEN. COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY 3 1833 01215 5054 THE T ID p A E U M 194 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS Butler High School Butler, Indiana omword A yearbook is primarily a book of memories. It is this that we have striven to achieve: That Butler High School in nineteen hundred and forty-eight and nineteen hundred and forty-nine was a place and a quality; that, as the years pass, we will want to recall places, events, dates, and persons. So the nineteen hundred and forty-nine Tropaeum is pre- sented as an aid and a stimulus to memory. The things that happened this past year were momentu- ous and trivial. We said, Ten years from now we ' ll laugh at all this, but we were trying to kid ourselves. The things that happened to us this past year would not have happened to anyone else; we were the chosen people, a race set apart. There are those who will cavil at our selection from the past year, but we are as fallible as all humans, and have honestly tried. We hope you will take in good grace the presentation here offered — your year at Butler High Scnool, an account of the great and foolish moments that made up our lives. There is no theme for this year ' s Tropaeum because we feel that it should reflect the spirit of the school. The con- stant striving for achievement, personal and collective, the day-to-day battle for knowledge and understanding, the hopes and dreams of yesterday, today, and tomorrow — these do not fall into a pattern. They are lived in the lives of each individual. In the following pages we present the events which made up the past year in our school. —2— Cc tents omen PART I Administration 9 Administration Calendar 10 School Board 11 Superintendent, Principal and Clerk 12 Faculty 13 PART II Activities 17 Activities Calendar 18 Annual Staff 19 Senior Band 20 Junior Band 21 Chorus 22 Operetta 23 Senior Play 24 Junior Play 25 Assembly Programs 26 Hi-Y 28 Tri-Hi-Y 23 Future Homemakers of America 30 Future Farmers of America 31 Hodierni Romani 32 PART III Athletics 33 Athletic Calendar 34 Coaches, Managers and Cheerleaders 35 Varsity Basketball 36 Second Team Basketball 38 Baseball 39 Track 40 Junior High Basketball 41 Intramural Athletics 42 PART IV Grades 43 Kindergarten, Grades I and II 44 Grades III, IV, and V 45 Grades VI, VII, and VIII 46 PART V High School 47 Class Calendar 48 Freshmen 49 Sophomores 50 Juniors 51 Seniors 52 Class of 1948 in Washington 58 PART VI Advertising 59 —3— THE WEST BUILDING, the oldest building on the campus, contains the hub of the wheel — Mr. Harding ' s and Mr. Jenkin ' s offices. Here, also, are the elementary grades and the school shops and laboratory. THE EAST BUILDING houses the high school. It contains the classrooms, the assembly room and library, and the home economics laboratory. Here the students receive college preparatory, commercial, and vocational art courses. —5— THE GYM, the newest building on the campus, is the center of fun and frolic. Here we have the basketball games and other sports, the class plays, the Hallowe ' en festival, the music festivals, and the occasional speeches and movies. -6— (Top) The main corridor in the west building, showing the offices on the left and the hall leading to the other buildings.

Jjedi tic Lcauon WE, the Class of 1949, dedicate our annual to Mr. Francis E. May. For the past two years, Mr. May has been co-sponsor of our class. During that time he has been steadfast in his devotion to our class, and has gone all out to help us achieve our goals, both in curricular and extra-curricular activities. As director of the Junior and Senior plays, Mr. May was responsible for the enviable rocord our class has made in dramatics in oui com- munity. Finally, he has been responsible for many good social evenings among us — theatre parties, euchre games, and toboggan rides. For all these things he has won our confidence and re- spect. We sincerely wish him great success in his future. Francis E. May ■ ms g -r r A fP recLaiion tic WE, the Class of 1949, wish to take this opportunity to express to Mr. Verl Oberlin our appreciation for the many favors he has shown us during the past four years. To him we owe much of the success of our annual, for he has given much of his time and energy — perhaps at a sacrifice to himself — to take and print many of the pictures which ap- pear here. For that we are truly grateful. But, even more important than that, Mr. Oberlin has been a sincere friend to each of us, willing to help us when we needed advice or guidance. His understanding, sympathy, and cheerfulness have made our days in school much brighter. These qualities we shall al- ways remember. ' Verl Oberlin M wiiyiis traL Lon (calendar September 7 . . . .

Beginning with the first of September and continuing through May, whether the mercury drops below zero or the gentle zephers blow, the students make their morning trek to the red brick school house. With an eye on their watches and an armful of books they ascend the well worn steps to their home rooms. There are classes to attend and periods to spend in the study hall. There is time out for lunch. In the afternoon a club meeting or an assembly program may be scheduled to break the routine and add to the enjoyment of school. Such a typical school day with all its work and pleasure is made possible through the ef- forts of the School Board and the School Administration. 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 administrative and teaching staffs. Mr. Ralph Mutzfeld, who is associated with his brother in the hardware business, has been a member of the Board for the past twelve years and now serves as President. He likes to play his cornet and enjoys a good game of golf in the Florida sunshine. Mr. Frank Korsmeyer, who is manager of the local office of the Indiana and Michigan Elec- tric Company, has been a member of the Board for the past two years and serves as Secretary. For recreation he enjoys fishing and handicraft work. Mr. T. M. Long, Treasurer, is serving his first year on the Board. Mr. Long, manager of a local drug store, is an ardent baseball fan and drives hundreds of miles during the baseball sea- son to attend games. —11— Ardi i trati mLmdCrauon an d J i acvi 1 Superintendent PAUL HARDING A.B., Butler University M.S. Ed., Indiana University Mr. Harding has served as Superintendent of the Butler Public Schools for the past four years. Besides being a very capable executive, he has made school life more enjoyable for the students and proved a valuable friend to each one of them. This has been accomplished through his personal interest in the stu- dents and his congeniality. Principal CLETIS E. JENKINS A.B., Indiana University Two years ago, after serving 10 years as athletic director, basketball coach, and teacher, Mr. Jenkins became principal. In his new position Mr. Jenkins has continued to be a friend and guide to the pupils of our high school. In addition to being principal, he still teaches mathematics. Office Clerk MRS. LOUISE SPAKE Mrs. Spake has been the very efficient office clerk of the Butler Schools for the past eight years. During this time her faithful performance of duty has made her indispensable in the office. Her patience and cheerfulness have helped to keep affairs running smoothly. —12— Faculty meetings are held regular- ly in Room 11 to determine policies for the management of the school and to solve problems which arise from time to time. In the upper picture Mr. Harding is seen leading an in- teresting discussion. Visual education is as much a part of school as the classroom and labora- tory classes.

Below, left: Mary Korsmeyer, Editor. Below, right: Tom Broom, Mr. McCrory, Beverly Carr, and Mary Korsmeyer planning the lay-out for the 1949 Tropaeum. The 1949 Tropaeum was conceived one night late in April, 1948. That night the staff, newly-appointed and eager, met for the first time as such. It studied and discussed several outstanding annuals which had come into its hands. Out of that discussion came the idea for this book. And before Summer vacation arrived the rough draft was done. When school opened in the Fall, an enthusiastic staff began to translate blue-prints into reality. And an enthusiastic class began to push subscrip- tion and advertising sales to insure the financial success of the book. In both endeavors the quotas were exceeded, and new records were established. Behind the scenes, directing and encouraging the work on the Tropaeum were Mr. May, who supervised the business activities, and Mr. McCrory, who supervised the editorial staff. They served largely to direct the abunda nt energy of the staff and the class into the proper channels.

This, one of the most important musical organ- izations in B. H. S., is the ultimate goal of every instrumentalist of the school, whether he puffs on a tuba or trills on a flute. Any student interested may join the Junior band which had fifty-five members this year. After much time and hard work in this organization, the student ' s ambition is at least realized — he has finally become a mem- ber of the Butler High School Band. This year the band, consisting of fifty-two members, was kept busy with many activities. After the school term began, the members strived for perfect marching drills. On October 31 they placed second in the state marching contest at Columbia City. Then came detailed practice and the tearing down of difficult parts into comprehensible notes. The band played at the Auburn Fair and later at home ball games. On April 2 they participated in the District Contest at Waterloo. To demonstrate the re- sults of hard work during the year, the organization played in the annual Spring Music Festival on April 3. The Butler High School Band has fun, seriousness, and work which no one would want to miss. —20— Above, (left): Our band inarching in the parade at the DeKalb County Fair.

All students even slightly interested in music enjoy singing in a group like this, so you may be sure that the Glee Club, which met only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, received a great deal of music ap- preciat ' on from their numerous vocal selections. Early in school life the students ' voices are trained. Even the first- grade practices diligently. Sometimes small groups are selected from the grades to sing in the local churches, at our class plays, and at P. T. A. meetings. This year the high school Glee Club held a recital at the Methodist Church in October. After several months of hard work, the group presented the operetta The Prince of Peddlers on May 6. Like the band, the Glee Club climaxed its season with the local Spring Music Festival. First row, left to right: Marilyn Ginder, Sharon Beebe.

The charming Princess of Bellarie (Margaret Rohrer) is celebrating her birthday — not that she cares a whit about birthdays! She accepts the gifts simply because it is all a part of the day ' s work! The Princess wishers for a change and excitement! And the wish comes true. Suddenly the monotony of the remote kingdom is interrupted by the arrival of Major Boobo (Ted Abbot) , to announce the coming of his Prince (Don Mullett) ! Dame Doodles (June Keller) bristles with rage when the Major annourices that the Prince wishes to look over the Princess, to see if he cares to pay her the compliment of a proposal. Ter- clump (Bob ' Wolfe), the heavy-footed detective, plans to spy on the Prince! In the midst of general confusion, a charming Peddler (Bob Thompson) arrives. His smile wins the instant approval of all except Dame Doodles and the Prince who so hates the Peddler that he has him cast into the pillory. The overbearing Prince then plans to banish Dame Doodles and put Ter clump into the dungeons! Finally, through the help of the Phantom of the Sea, and the royal signet ring, the Prince is brought into submission. Then the princess and the Peddler straighten things out. Amid much laughter, everyone rejoices that they have had in their midst the Prince of Peddlers. —22 CAST Letty Madden Gaynell Janke Agatha Madden Gloria Fee Maimie Collins Shirley Grimm Adolf Madden Philip Raney Julia Madden Margaret Rohrer Sara Arnold Marilyn Moughler Jenny Powell Mildred Gall Cora Kent Nancy Underhill Rita Norris Joy Keesler Steve Harmann Bob Thompson Jerome Judson Don Muliett Michael O ' Nell Keith Kaiser Dr. Reynolds Ted Abbott -)octov s KJv ' de i Everybody ready? Curtain going up for the first act of the Senior class play. The entire action of the play took place in the living-room of the Madden home Ln a small city in the Middle west.

Add to this Miss Arnold, Miss Powell, and Miss Kent, scatter-brained minor stockholders, who insist on making their own hats; Maimie with her desire to be a ballet dancer; and the result of Letty ' s visit to the psychiatrist, who tells her to follow her inhibitions — and you have a picture of the riot caused in the play, a reaction which was shared by the cast and their patient and superior director, Mr. Francis E.

Because of daughter Goody ' s boisterous friends, Daddy Little is continually hav- ing tantrums. He thinks all the romance of young life should be- gin as it did when he was a boy, and therefore cannot imagine why Goody has picked Ham Ellers, the most boisterous of the young hoodlums, to fall in love with. When Mr. Little tries to fix up Goody ' s life with a promising young businessman, Norman Peel, he finds himself face to face with Norman ' s aunt, who excites him almost to the point of homicide. Matters do not improve when son Filmer, who is at that hard, hard age where to be different is worse than death, has his own troubles, in the person of Antoinette, and when Henriette Peller invades the Little household as a Southern siren and vamps Mr. Little and everyone else. The result is a hilarious mixup right to the end of the play. Upper Left: Henriette (Garcille McDonald): I hope you ' re going to love your little Henriette, Mr. Little.

The club met regularly on the second Monday night of each month. Most of its meetings this year were held jointly with the Tri-Hi-Y Club. The joint meetings helped to promote social activities among the members and interest in the activities of the clubs. Together, Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y entertained the District Conference in the spring. -28— Above, left to right, first row: Joy Keesler, Nancy Underbill, Mary Korsnieyer, Margaret Robrer, Marilyn Mougbler, Doima Jennings, Gaynell Janke, Patsy Auer, Loretta Lyon, Joan Likes.

The Tri-Hi-Y Club is an organization of high school girls associated with the Y.M.C.A. Its purpose is To create, maintain, and extend through- out the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. During the past year the Tri-Hi-Y club was one of the most active clubs in school. The club held regular meetings on the second Monday of each month, several of which were joint meetings with the Hi-Y Club. At Christmas time the clubs had a Christmas party and gift exchange. Also, together with the Hi-Y, they sponsored a Christmas chapel for the school. The activities of the club resulted in many good times, promoted the social life of the school, and helped to develop higher ideals in its members.

Its purposes are to develop leadership, improve the rural home, encourage co-operative efforts in agriculture, promote and im- prove scholarship, and create more interest in farming as an occupation. This year the F. F. A., in addition to holding its regular meetings on the third Monday of each month, sold garden seeds to raise money to finance its activities. The club also participated in the District Livestock Judging Con- test, held in Noble County, on April 20. Two delegates from the Butler Chapter, Donald VanWye and Charles Smyth, and Mr. Berg, the club adviser, attended the state F. F. A. Con- vention at Purdue University on April 7-10.

The Latin Club, Romani Hodierni, is an association of Latin students who wished to pursue their interest in Latin beyond the classroom. It is a chapter of the Junior Classical League. The purpose of the club is to hand on the torch of classical civilization to the modern world. Romani Hodierni held their meetings more or less regularly in the homes of the members. On these occasions they studied the lives, customs and times of the Romans. At Christmas they held a party, in commemora- tion of the Saturnalia, at which they sang songs Ln Latin, exchanged gifts, and enjoyed some good food. To encourage the study of Latin, this year the Latin Club gave a gold medal to the pupil in each of the Latin classes who made the best mark. It also gave the library department the book, Classical Myths. by Bulfinch. -32— tkietlc L alendi September 8 Butler High School ' s 1948-49 Athletic Program be- gan today with the opening of the baseball season We beat Waterloo 6-2 Off to a good start.

The excellent work of these men may be judged not only by the suc- cess of their teams in competition but also by the fine mental attitude and sportsmanship of the boys with whom they worked. MANAGERS Butler ' s teams this year were a well-managed group of athletes. Bob (Stretch) Harrold (left) was always on the job when members of the varsity teams in all sports or the ccaches needed service, and Bish Hathaway (right) did the chores for the reserve basketball team. The equipment and uniforms were always in order and in good condi- tion. And Stretch kept the towels and shirts clean by making like a ' ' washer woman from time to time. CHEERLEADERS A quintet of attractive girls, Mildred Kessler, Sue Casebere, Margaret Rohrer, Sharon Grube, and Charlotte Johnson, led the cheering sections this year. Mildred, Margaret, and Charlotte, as varsity cheerleaders, inspired the Wind- mills with many new cheers and lots of enthusiasm. Sue and Sharon began and finished their first year as second team cheerleaders with much color and pep. Both players and fa ns will not soon for- get these girls. —35— l arMiu -Jadketbaii i The Butler Windmills established a good record during the season of 1948-1949 by winning 12 games and losing 9. The team had plenty of speed and accuracy but did not have height to match their ability. In the opening game of the season the Windmills swamped Hamilton 46-20. Two nights later they won a thriller from Spencerville 40-36. The next game, in which Butler lost to Columbia City 41-37, was also a thriller. Then the Windmills opened the Corner Con- ference season with a 45-28 win over Wolcottville. Then Butler took two severe beatings. The powerful Auburn Red Devils defeated them before a capacity crowd by a score of 50-26, and they lost to the Garrett Rail- roaders 28-19. Following the Garrett game, the Windmills resumed their conference schedule with a 50-41 win over Waterloo. Then, after a 41-37 loss to Angola, Butler wound up the 1948 part of the schedule by defeating Churubusco 62-44, and Fremont 63-54. The first action for the Windmills after Christmas was in the DeKalb County Tour- ney at Waterloo. In their first game they defeated the Ashley Aces 62-51, but in the next game Spencerville squeezed them out of the tourney 35-33. After the tourney Butler lost its first conference game of the season in the Avilla cigar box, and then ran into a three game winning streak in which St. Joe was defeat- ed 51-32, Butler won its first game in history from Fort Wayne Central Catholic 42-36, and nosed out Leo at New Haven 40-39. But that series of wins was followed by a los- ing streak during which Butler lost to Garrett 45-44, to Ashley 47-43, and to Angola 43-40. The season ended on a successful note, however, when the Windmills piled up a 60-42 win over Waterloo. The Windmills drew Auburn, one of the toughest teams in the state, for its first game in the Sectional Tourney.

Many of their games were very close; in fact, most of their losses were from one to three points. The Injuns started the year with just a few boys who had had previous game experi- ence. However, what they lacked in experience they made up in fight. In the opening game of the season, the Injuns stepped into the limelight with an impressive 18-11 victory over Hamilton. The next week they beat Spencerville in a thrilling 23-22 contest. Columbia City gave them their first loss in an exciting 20-18 game. The Injuns would not remain down, however, as in their next game they beat Wolcottville 30-14. Then the Injuns seemed to hit a streak of bad luck during which they lost to Auburn 27-25, Garrett 30-19, and Waterloo 35-33. After these three heartbreaking games, they came back to beat Angola 23-22 and Churubusco 35-23. Next they lost to Fremont 27-20 to end the 1948 portion of the season. They surprised everyone but themselves by getting to the finals of the county tourney before bowing to a very good Ashley team by a score of 38-19. The Injuns won the first two games of the regular 1949 portion of the season from Avilla 18-11 and St. Joe 22-9. The next five games were very close; however, Butler seemed to be unable to click. During this period the Injuns lost to Central Catholic 19-14, Leo 21-17, Garrett 30-12, Ashley 33-21 and Angola 16-12. In the final game of the season the Injuns reversed a previous loss to Waterloo by beating them 20-18. -38— v asebali First Row (Left to Right): Charles Oberlin, Dean Casebere, Charley Smyth, Rolf Gerhardt, Olus Everetts.

Butler ' s Windmills opened the 1948-49 athletic season with baseball in the Fall. A large squad of boys, several of them coming in from a summer of American Legion baseball experience, responded to Mr. Beebe ' s call for players. The team finished the season with four wins and three losses. The hardest loss for the team was the 14-3 defeat which a slugging Ashley team pasted on them in the Cor- ner Conference baseball tournament. That ended Butler ' s reign as conference champions. In the first game of the season, the Windmills defeated Waterloo 6-2. In the next game Ashley squeezed out a 6-5 victory over Butler. But the Windmills came back with a vengeance to defeat Waterloo again by an 18-12 score in a game that resembled a track meet. Then Ashley ' s Aces cooled off the Butler boys again 5-0. After that the Windmills finished the season with two wins, defeating Waterloo (again!) 8-6, and Edgerton, Ohio, 11-4. Jerry Beebe carried most of the pitching burden, but Eddie Gengnagel and Sidney Long supplied some able relief work. Raymond Moughler did the catching for all the games. The season was a good one from the standpoint of batting averages and errors, and most games were close, —39— v ' ack The track season for 1948 was very successful. Last Spi ' ing, for the eighth con- secutive year, Butler ' s Windmills won the Corner Conference track and field champion- ship at Garrett. The reputation of Butler High School for producing outstanding track men was maintained during the past season by Jack Michael, an outstanding distance runner, who won first place in the sectional ineet at Fort Wayne to earn a position in the state meet at Indianapolis. Jack ' s best time for the year was 4:33.5. Bob (Tommy) Thompson, a speedy dash man, placed third in both the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes at the sectional meet in Fort Wayne. Although he ran the 100-yard dash in 10.2 seconds, he failed to qualify for the state meet. The 1948 Medley relay team, composed of Jack Michael, Norman Keesler, Bob Bow- man and Bob Thompson, captured the Class B Championship in both the Goshen Relays and the Kokcmo Relays. That was the second consecutive year that Butler teams won these events.

Coach Jim Gather ' s Gamemasters, during 1948-49, enjoyed one of the best seasons, if not the best season, any Butler Junior High School Team has ever had. The Gamemasters went undefeated through a schedule of twenty games against all the competition they could find. They also won the Junior High School Invitational Tourney, which included all junior high school teams in DeKalb County and Angola from Steuben County. A high spot in the season was a game against St. Patrick ' s School, champions of the CYO League in Fort Wayne, played as a preliminary to the BAA contest between the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons and the Bpltimore Bullets. This was the first team in the history of Butler Junior High School both to have an undefeated season and to win a county tournament SEASON RECORD Butler 33 Edgerton 20 Butler 50 Wolcottville 10 Butler 39 Auburn 23 Butler 39 Garrett 19 Butler 26 Angola 16 Butler 37 Fremont 9 Butler 30 Hicksville 10 Butler 35 St. Joe 15 Butler 25 St. Patricks 20 Butler 31 Edgerton 23 Butler 32 Garrett 22 Butler 30 Angola 7 Butler 25 Waterloo 10 Butler 41 Angola 19 Butler 56 Avilla 31 Butler 50 Edgerton 10 Butler 29 Waterloo 18 Butler 43 Fairfield Center 22 Butler 46 Angola 18 Butler 16 Auburn 14 —41- A I niramiii a I yvifiieti iC6 Throughout most of the school year, an intramural athletic program was car- ried on at noon. This pro- gram was arranged and supervised by Mrs. Esther Hampel and Mr. Stanley Pepple (right center above). Basketball was the only game played consistently by the noon leagues. However, other games, chosen because they provided a great deal of group recrea- tion for both boys and girls, were included in the program. They were volleyball, kickball, indoor soc- cer, deck tennis, dodgeball, and basketball free throwing contests. Boys groups from the high school played one another once a week. The girls used the gym every Wednesday noon. At other times the grades were invited to use the gym. Some very heated basket- ball rivalries developed between the 5th and 6th grades and the 3rd and 4th grades. Spectator interest was as high as that of the players. Every noon there was a large crowd on the bleachers. And the program was a great help to those pupils who had trouble in spending their noon recess profitably. -42- j .j-ao-nri lvide emanen 1 u Left to right, first row: Elizabeth Hankey, Sylvia Osmiin, Charleen Tom, Sheila Johnson, Carolyn Mock, Laurtitia LcRowe, Virginia Sattison, Karen Keefer, Connie McCann, Wanda Abbott, Ella Brown, Jane Dircks.

Meeting for the last time as such, the Senior Class of 49 returned by retrospection to their past years in Butler High School. As they did they reviewed a record equalled by few and excelled by none. As individuals, their talents are too numerous and varied to be discussed here; how- ever, as a class, they were similar to a well oiled machine functioning sinoothly. There were numerous class parties, many thrills in athletics, several ingenious and very successful money raising campaigns in which they excelled all previous records. Included in these were two of the best and most successful plays ever produced in Butler High School. They also published a very good Annual in which these and other activities are accurately recorded. The money raising activities were successful in two ways. They made possible the ultimate goal of the class, the trip to Washington, and they provided all the stu- dents an opportunity to prove their abilities and to work as a unit. Engineering these activities in the Senior year were the officers, Bob Thompson, Joy Keesler, Gaynell Janke and Phil Raney, aided by two very able sponsors, Mr. Berg and Mr. May. The success of the officers and sponsors, however was due to the united efforts of the class. To no one in particular, but to every one in general, the credit for the record of this class belongs. —52— THEODORE ABBOTT Lancaster 1, 2; BHS 3, 4; Basket- ball 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 4; Band 1, 3, 4; Operetta 2, 4; Glee Club 2, 4; Senior Play; Ensemble Contest 4.

George Gillie, Mr. Verl Oberlin, Frances Wilson, Elinor Carpenter, Genevieve Boyer, Betty Sawvel, John Willard, George Oberlin, the Washington guide. Early on the morning of Sunday, April 25, 1948, thirty-three Seniors, their chaperone, Mrs. Pepple, and sponsors, Mr. Pepple and Mr. Oberlin, departed from Butler to begin a very event- ful trip to Washington, D. C. At Fort Wayne they boarded an Indiana Railroad bus, driven by Larry E. Morrow, and were bound for Washington by 7: 30 A. M. The first day was spent largely in looking at the Ohio landscape. One stop was made at Canton, where the group visited the tomb of President McKinley. The first night was spent in Pittsburgh, where everyone stayed at the Keystone Hotel. Early on the morning of the second day the party entered the Pennsylvania Turnpike and spent a good part of the day travelling on it. In the afternoon they reached Gettysburg and made a tour of the famous battlefield. From Gettysburg the group moved on to Washington. On Tuesday the class toured Washington, visiting the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Washington Monument, the White House (but not the President) , the Capitol Building, Arling- ton Cemetery, and Lincoln Memorial. While at the Capitol, they attended a session of the House of Representatives. On Wednesday the group travelled by bus to Mount Vernon, the National Airport, the Mel- lon Institute of Art, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Building, and the Smithsonian Institute. The trip home on Thursday and Friday was interesting largely because of the views of mountain scenery. A bus breakdown, on the way home, also added to the excitement of the journey. On Friday evening, a weary but happy group of Seniors arrived back in Fort Wayne at the end of an unforgettable week. The events of those six days will be remembered and cherished for the rest of their lives. The trip had proved to be educational, recreational, and well worth the time and work involved to make it a success. —58— BuNNY ' S ReSTAURAjNT SPECIALIZING IN FINE FOODS ALSO CATERING TO PARTIES . .: 1 COMPLIMENTS COMPLIMENTS j of !
