We stood on the threshold of a new half century. So we thought it well to review, mostly in pictures the first half of this century and to look forward to the on- coming years. Hence, we put the Roman god Janus on the cover-looking backwards and forwards- a bit of reminiscence, a bit of day dreaming. We hope you like the book. d 1 ..2- INTRODUCTION ADMINISTRATION ACTIVITIES SPORTS GRADES CLASSES ADVERTISING AND HUMOR Cnnfenlffi Foreword ..... Dedication ...... In Retrospect ....

In 1842 Norris, Egnew, I-Ianes, Tomlinson, and Cherry erected a schoolhouse on the land of George Egnew, on the north side of Main Street about opposite the present IVI. E. Church. It was large for a building of its kind and had on each side a long narrow window made of part of a section of a single log. The first teacher was L. Harding. As there is no picture extant of Butleris first' schoolhouse, Mr. Ashby has drawn a log building representing it for this book. In 1855 this log schoolhouse was supplanted by a frame structure erected on East Main Street on the lot now owned by Richard Schimpf. Mr. Ashby has drawn this building as it was described to him by Mr. Gehring and his sister, who re- membered it. Some of the early teachers in this school were John A. Campbell, Hamlin Fay, Mrs. Wood, and Mrs. Butler. As the years passed, this frame building be- came inadequate to meet the needs of the grow- ing community and by 1866, Butler had over one hundred pupils crowded into a schoolroom twenty- four by forty feet. In 1867 work started on a three-story brick building on the site of the present school. Dexter Ladd Thomas was the first teacher in the new school. In the first regular school held in the build- ing, Mr. James Ghreier Bowersox was the first principal and four other teachers were also em- ployed. The total enrollment of the school was three hundred fifty with sixty-six students in the primary department, seventy-nine in grammar school, seventy-nine in the intermediate depart- ment and one hundred twenty-six in high school. Five years after the school was built, it had its first graduating class, which was four in number. The enrollment steadily increased with the growth of the community and the schoolhouse was soon too small, hence in 1876 a two story annex was built, the lower room being used for primary work, and the upper for high school grades. A The Butler Public Schools gained a favorable reputation as a teachers training school through- out the northeast counties of our state. The period that teachers were trained in Butler was from 1868 to about 1880. In the year 1890, the seating capacity being once more insufficient, a frame structure large enough to accommodate another grade- was built in the rear of the main building. I In 1905 the three story brick building was torn down and replaced by a larger building which is still in use today. This was the first Butler School building to be heated by a furnace. As the school continued to grow, it was neces- sary to erect a separate building for the high school, including the first gymnasium provided by the school. The enrollment continued to rise and by 1929 the high school had one hundred forty-three students. In 1930 the school was granted a First Class Commission by the State Department of Public Instruction and was admitted into the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, which is the highest accrediting agency in the north Central States. The band was organized in 1930 by Lida Stage and in 1935 brought recognition to the school by winning first place among the high school bands of the state. It was also in 1935, that busses were first used to bring rural students into the school. In 1936 a new gymnasium was built by the aid of a P. W. A. grant.

An increased enrollment, brought about by consolidation, will make a new building a neces- sity. Twelve acres have already been purchased for the site of an extensive building program, if it is needed. A buildin lev will be laced on the g Y P citizens of Wilmington Township and Butler City this summer. There is also a possibility that several other members of the school districts may become Metropolitan School District of Butler. Perhaps the new building will be similar to one of the new schools, whose pictures are shown in this book. The new school district will have greatly in- creased educational and recreational facilities. The present curriculum is limited by the small number of students, but it is hoped that the ex- pected increase in enrollment will make possible a much broadened curriculum. A fine arts curriculum, a science curriculum and an industrial arts curriculum would make fine additions to Butler High Schools present academic, vocational home economics, vocational agriculture, and commercial courses. Perhaps the addition of CfH't Housg D08 Mouse nt Norse - .1 a T Hammer s EEE EEE another foreign language to the academic course would be appreciated by the students. In the new building there might be farm shops, industrial arts shops, a new science labora- tory, and a new home economics department, greatly improved over the present one. Many parents have expressed the desire that vocational courses be offered to grade school students. At present there is a great need for an ex- tended physical education program which may be remedied by the new school. The students of Butler High School may look forward to a more varied extracurricular activities program. This year has brought the addition of a new club, the Library Club, which is sponsored by Mr. Jack Ruff. The hope has been expressed by several faculty members that the students will form a student council and help govern themselves. Some members of the student body are becoming more conscious of the need for self-government, so per- haps in a few years a student council may be achieved. A certain student group has tried to re- organize a school paper, but because of the scarcity of paper, it seems to have been abandoned for a while. As a school paper adds a great deal to a school, especially by giving students training in journalism, it is hoped that in future years, con- ditions will be more beneficial to the efforts of journalistically inclined students. Many senior students also enjoy working on the Annual staff, whose members are trying each year to make a Tropaeum bigger and better than that of the year before. A larger enrollment should bring greater annual sales, which, in turn, would make pos- sible a larger Tropaeum. Many improvements should be made in the library, which is very limited at the present time. Many additional non-fiction books especially should be added. More reference books would be ap- preciated very much by the high school students who often need much information for routine school work and term papers. Without a doubt, if all the things written about here actually occur, the future students will be the best behaved, the best educated, and the most intelligent students Butler has ever had. Not only that but our athletes will be better than ever. Yes, the future students of our community will have more educational advantages than former- ly, and they will be better trained to meet the problems of life. 1 TC - 4 i r ...7- Mr. Ralph Mutzfeld, Mr. T. M. Long, Mr. Frank Korsmeyer, Mr. Carl Bercaw SAW! Zim! November 8th, 1950 was a fateful day for the Butler School Town. On the preceding day a referendum election had been held throughout Wilmington, Stafford, Troy and Franklin Town- ships and Butler School Town, to determine whether there should or should not be consolida- tion. The measure was defeated in the last three named townships and accepted in Butler School Town and Wilmington. The election was the culmination of six months of propaganda, newspaper articles, etc. fsee ad- ministration division pagej. With the victory in the two school corporations Butler School Town ceased to exist, and funds, etc. of both became ineffective. Emergency appropriations had to be prepared, a name for the new corporation had to be chosen, and various other problems arose. The trustee of Wilmington Township became a member of the school board, and the four are to continue until another election when an elec- tion will choose five members to transact the busi- ness of the Metropolitan School District of Butler -The new organization. Many board meetings were held, conferences with state department officials, the board of examiners, etc., to find exactly where things stood. Finally an examiner came in and spent two weeks going over the books of both defunct school cor- porations and setting up the new corporation. By dint of hard work and taking advantage of every possible break, but adhering strictly to the law, the board was able to get its first emergency appropriation through so teachers could be paid just before Christmas, and a few of the most pressing bills could be paid. Again, late in January the second emergency appropriation was given approval and the school has been able to function as usual since then. The consolidation will enable the new cor- poration to do a little building, though much is needed. However, that cannot be done until a building levy is put into effect to build up a sinking fund, then a bond issue will have to be floated. A set of school plans will have to be prepared, before the bond issue can be offered. It is to be regretted that the other three town- ships did not vote themselves into the consolida- tion, as many of their schools will have to be replaced, and they do not have the individual bonding power to build as they need. Union with the two corporations voting in, would have made it possible for the new corporation to build an adequate school for all pupils concerned. The larger school would have enabled all pupils in the five corporations to have taken ad- vantage of the kindergarten, the art instruction, and other advantages which the new corporation offers and will offer. It is to be hoped that these corporations will vote to consolidate in the near future, and thus better their educational facilities at no additional cost. f -fo, xx -3- The school year opening September llth Cafter a week's postponement on account of the polio epidemicj saw many changes in the Butler Schools. Resignations by Mr. Harding, Mr. May, Miss Fifer and Mrs. Spake required new faces in the offices and school rooms. Mr. Jenkins was promoted from the high school principalship to fill the place of super- intendent. Mrs. Helen Houlton was employed as secretary. But Mr. Jenkins' promotion left the high school principalship open. About a month before school began Mr. Brubaker, graduate of Manchester College and Indiana University, was engaged. . Previously the superintendent had been teach- ing a class or two and the principal three classes. The board ruled some of this out so a new teacher was employed to take their four classes and to partial- ly relieve another teacher. Mr. Clark was brought in. Miss Fifer's resignation and the sudden death of Mr. Cather required two new faces in the grade ,fgalntiniafra five pBl'50l'Ll1Ef CLETIS E. JENKINS Indiana University, A.B. Math and M.S. Ed.

One other change was made at the beginning of school. Mr. Ashby was assigned to teach art throughout the entire system-a requirement of the accrediting agencies. The first day of school found fifty in the first grade-too many for one teacher, so Mrs. Strohis divided room was sent to the regular rooms, putting almost fifty in the fourth grade and over forty in the third. By Thanksgiving the average daily attendance had been such that the fourth grade was divided and Mrs. Camp selected as the new teacher. This necessitated moving the music room to the basement. Mr. Pepple received a call to the navy and left early in November. His place was first filled by Mr. Burdette Hall of near Angola. However, farming requirements made it impossible for him to continue, so two weeks before Christmas Mr. Eugene Yarde was chosen to fill in. During the summer a partition had been built in room 11, so that Mr. Oberlin could have his work under control. The room he vacated was given to Mr. Clark, and he in turn vacated it for the kindergarten under Mrs. Brubaker at the be- ginning of the second semester. He was moved to the home economics recitation room and' the laboratory devoted to both recitation and labora- tory. It has been a moving and changing year- but on the whole a rather enjoyable year. .-9... I jnafrncfiue lgemonnef PAUL W.

Advisor E Each year it is with a great deal of pride and joy the Senior class and the Faculty Annual Ad- visor of Butler High School produce the Tropaeum. Early in the month of May, 1950, the 1951 Tropaeum Staff got busy planning and preparing to make the 1951 Tropaeum the best one ever. At the first meeting which met at the home of Mr. Paul Ashby, the staff were assigned their special work. The newly appointed and eager staff un- der the guidance of their Annual Advisor, Mr. Ashby, began to develop the new Tropaeum. They discussed several outstanding annuals and out of this discussion came the ideas for the new book. .ff .ff Bottom row: Carol Scoville, and Sue Casebere fixing colored lines, Sue Casebere, Staff at Ft. Wayne En- graving Company, Joyce Blair, Jerry Beebe, Anne Korsmeyer, Carolyn Rensch, Howard Zerkle. 526. Before the summer vacation arrived the rough draft was completed. In September the annual staff went to Fort Wayne and visited the Fort Wayne Engraving Company to do research work on how to make the best annual possible. In the success of any annual the subscription campaign is a vital factor. So, in the case of this Volume, much credit is due to those pupils who pushed the subscription and advertising sales to insure the financial success of the book. This drive was carried off with admirable success. At the second staff meeting the color of the annual's cover was decided. Since the class colors were gray and maroon it was decided to use these appropriate colors in the cover. The lettering was to be gray on a maroon cover. The staff worked faithfully in writing and drawing the pictures and then 'arranging and re- arranging them so they would fit. The photography was started in October by the local photographer, Mr. Harold Walker. Mr. Paul Ashby and Mr. Verl Oberlin contributed many flash bulb pictures. Each member has worked faithfully in co- operating with the Tropaeum Staff that they might produce a fine and complete book. ' ...16.. R : A fa Influenced by a desire to con-- tinue the study of Latin outside the classroom, the Latin club was or- ganized in 1946, receiving its charter from the Junior Classical Ofalfin At different meetings during the year various contests were held, such as crossword puzzles in which the blanks had to be filled out with Latin words supplied from English League in 1948. It has now de- .17 4' meanings, English derivative con- veloped into an organization of about 40 members. The 1-Iodierni Romani fLatins or Romans of todayj held its meet- . Q if N9 tests in which we had to choose the derivatives for stated words from a long list that was supplied. The derivatives sometimes seemed 1 X X tt- J ing monthly throughout the year. It tried to study the ways of Roman life and the Latin language. But besides be- ing of academic value to the members it aids in cultivating a mutual interest in the study of Latin. The election of officers for the year was the principal activity at the first meeting. Anne Korsmeyer was elected president and Marlene Dpolittle vice-president. Neil Hankey was chosen as secretary-treasurer. Anne and Neil are seniors and Marlene a sophomore. The second meeting was rather a hilarious affair involving the initiation of the new mem- bers. This vigorous initiation was inflicted upon the newcomers by a very eager and willing group of older members. It consisted of some rituals and jokes, which had been preceded by requiring the new members to wear the cloth- ing of the other sex and wearing rattles around their necks.

Center-First row: Ros- ella Healy, Barbara Lung, Janice Hankey, Joyce Funk, Anne Korsmeyer, Helen Bacon, Sondra Sicard, Virginia Boyer, Joyce Blair, Second row: very far fetched. As usual the Latin Club held a Christmas Party with the exchange of gifts, grab bag style. However this grab bag style consisted of all of us being seated in rows, then a gift placed in the hands of the first person in each row. Music was played, and when the music stopped, the persons in whose hands the gifts were retained thegift. The constitution of the club requires the presentation of medals for outstanding scholar- ship in the two Latin classes each year. Last year, Carolyn Rensch and Marlene Doolittle won the prizes.

R in lQz,4,,i,mf The Hi-Y was organized in 1923 by Mr. Forney from a group of teacher recommended students. Among these were Henry Funk, Roy Teutsch, Paul Mutzfeld, Huber Knisely. The initiations were rather rigorous at first. Later they eased up. Membership was then limited to the upper two classes and sophomores with high scholastic standing. In the fall of the same year the Blue Tri- angle Club was organized by the Misses Laura McBrien and Flossie Travis. This club has been known as the Blue Triangle, the Girl Reserves, until 1947 when under the sponsor- ship of Miss Allman it became the Tri-Hi-Y under the guidance of the Y. M. C. A. which also guides the Hi-Y. iii. w. The Hi-Y is an organization for high school boys which strives to promote Christian fel- lowship and Christ's way of living, The Y. M. C. A., well known Christian organization sponsors the Hi-Y. Membership in the club is sure to make a great impression on one's outlook towards life which marks a better so- ciety for the future. The ideals of the Hi-Y clubs are clearly portrayed by their purpose and platform mentioned in the article din Retrospect. Membership is open to all boys in the upper three years of high school, although sophomores must maintain a C average. There are several steps one must go through before he can become a part of this club. After applying for membership an application must be filled out and signed by the parents. A vote is then taken on each new candidate. If he is approved by the other members, he is initiated into the club. This year the Hi-Y met on the first Monday of each month. Everyone looked forward to these meetings with much enthusiasm because an interesting speaker was always part of the program. Our sponsor, Mr. Ashby, regularly furnished a lesson relating to the Book or a story of the Bible, which greatly increased our knowledge and understanding of the Scrip- tures. On some of the occasions of this year the Hi-Y joined with the Tri-Hi-Y. Some of these were the Christmas program, a Christmas party which included caroling and a program for the P. T. O. At this meeting the two clubs pre- sented an opening ritual and other interesting facts about the clubs--history, qualifications for membership and club projects. The chief project this year was the distribu- tion of programs at the home basketball games. The programs, furnished by Coca-Cola and financed by advertisements gained a consider- able for the treasury. 510.00 were donated to the board at Indianapolis towards the purchase of a portable organ. The last feature of the year is a joint picnic and meeting at Pokagon Park the last Monday of the school year. The officers this year are-Wayne Heffley, Pres., Jack Maxton, V. Pres., Jerry Beebe, Sec'y., Max Little, Treasurer, Don lmler, Chap- lain. 1.13, U' ri-,JQ4 The Tri-Hi-Y, is an organization bf high school girls associated with the Y. ML C. A.

The corners in the emblem, red, white, and blue, stand for Sacrifice, Purity, and Loyalty. Our meetings were held on the second Mon- day in every Month. The Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y conference was held at Garrett last fall which all the officers at- tended. Our District meeting will be held April 12, at Ligonier. At Christmas the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y joined together for a grab-bag, and caroling at differ- ent homes in town. We enjoyed a Valentine party at our sponsor's home, Mrs. Hampel's.

They have not won any contests or other special recog- nition but they will merit their awards in the near future. The students of these bands have de- voted many hours to practice. Also their director, Mrs. Lida Stage, has devoted many hours to these beginning band members. With this practice these students will broaden their knowledge and make better bands of tomorrow. omior gan! Junior Band is the second step in becom- ing a bandsman. Here the fundamentals are learned and more practice is acquired. Simple marches and overtures are studied to prepare the students for the Senior Band. Finally, un- der the decision of Mrs. Stage, the students reach the top step and are advanced to Senior Band. The Junior Band is made up of the sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. They meet every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning at eight o'c1ock. Eighth grade graduation is the main ac- tivity of the Junior Band. Here they play the processional and recessional and also have sev- eral numbers during the year. Their only other activity this year was playing at a Junior High Basketball game.

When the students have advanced enough to play the scale and other simple arrangements they are placed in Junior Band. Any student just starting to learn to play an instrument is eligible to belong to the Be- ginners Band which meets every Tuesday and Thursday morning at eight o'clot:k and any other free period which they might have.

They formed a Christmas tree, star, and a bell in the dark with each player and drum major wearing red or green electric lights. The school children of Stafford, Troy, Franklin, and Newville town- ships were guests. Another hit of the evening was Santa drawn in a sleigh by two little elves. V The band participated in the Memorial Day services. They also marched in the parade held during the Tomato Festival. The Peppy marches played at the ball games gave our crowd the 'fyellingl' spirit and gave our boys that fighting spirit. Due to the threat of polio, the band did not participate at any of the fairs. The biggest event of the year was the trip to Bloomington, Where the band participated in a large band festival and witnessed a football game. -24-. .

The first copy was printed on a ditto machine, and contained six pages. It contained several different articles, columns of humor and a Thanksgiving story. The second issue came out on December 6, 1950. It was also six pages long, but instead of ditto reproduction, it was mimeographed. Since our paper had no official name, a contest was started, open to all High School students. The winner was Richard Haverstock and the name chosen was The Windmill Breeze. This issue contained several new articles, one being Teacher of the Week. The third issue was a Christmas issue, pub- lished December 22, 1950. It contained eight pages and was mimeographed. It had some Christ- mas articles plus the list of the Windmill Breeze Staff. Because of a shortage of paper, the Windmill Breeze was not published for three months. The fourth issue came out on March 21, 1951. The publication of the Breeze is every other Wednes- day, during the sixth hour. The other issues will be published on April 4, 1951, April 18, 1951, May 2, 1951, and the final issue on May 16, 1951. 13 6- 'XQXXISXVL if fgarsfelfgaf The Windmills Were again small this year. They overcame this handicap and had a very fine season of good, honest, and clean basketball and finished the season with a total of 15 Wins as against 8 losses. There were many regrets when our coach of the past three years was called back into the armed services. Mr. Pepple was a man that never will be forgotten in the hearts of many of us. After Mr. Pepple's departure from our school, Mr. Frank Clark was appointed to take Mr. Pepple's place. Mr. Clark proved that he, too, was a fine coach and dear sports- man. The Windmills started out fine in the County Tourney by defeating St. Joe by a score of 57-42. They then lost a tough battle to a Well balanced Garrett team by a score of 59-43- They finished the season by Winning the corner conference championship with 6 Wins and no defeats in conference play. The Windmills did a nice job in the Sectional Tourney. 'They got off to a flying start on Wednes- 1. Jerry Beebe. 2. Howard Zerkle. 3. Jack Maxton. 4. Charles Smyth. 5. Gene Bellamy. 6.

That evening the Windmills wound up Wednesday's play in per- fect style by defeating St. Joe 68-50. Saturday afternoon, Butler was de- feated by Spencerville in a very close game. The team should be plenty tough again next year as only three boys were lost this year. I think we all have something to look forward to. GELCAQL5 The men behind the teams and scenes are extremely important to every ball game. In Mr. Pepple, succeeded by Mr. Clark, Mr. Beebe, and Mr. Yarde we have had efficient coaches in all our athletics. We are expecting great things for the year of 1951-52. Wanagem The packers, the laundrymen, the general flunkies of every team work hard to make the season a success. Their work is all too often underrated. Bishop Hathaway, Don Imler and Gene Smith served in the ca- pacity of managers this year. 1. Marlene Doolittle, Sue Casebere. 2. Mr. Clark, Mr. Yarde. 3. Jewel Beebe, Nancy Bright. 4.

The reserve team was again composed of some of the finest young athletes that have ever gone to our school. Most of these boys were freshmen and sophomores, who rewarded coach Beebe very highly by their inexhaustible efforts and clean playing ability. Shortly after 'October 1, 1951 the ,basketball season got under way. Many long hours were spent in practice, as every one knows there are many fundamentals in the game. Mr. Beebe, the second team coach, spent much time training his boys for the long road ahead. Then one day in November it came game time again, and so the season started. As many of us know that dreaded disease of polio gave the team a little trouble. 'At the beginning of the year one boy had to become manager due to the simple reason that he could not play basketball because of the doctor's orders. This was none other than Paul Tom. The seconds won twelve games out of twenty games, which made a nice average for the second team boys and their coach, Mr. Beebe. The team beat the l1Vaterloo Wildcats in the first game of the county tourney, then were defeated by the Garrett Handcars. Anyone attending the games could easily say that the games lost were extremely closeg and every man on the team played his almighty hardest all the way, until the gun went off end- ing the game. -40- lomior Z?6t5LeIfAa!

They have found their best strategy was a fast and hard driving offense. To achieve this, they placed three men in guard positions, Parker, Blair, and McConnell, two men, Wilson and Burdick, served as forwards. The scoring was distributed fairly evenly among the first five players. The boys have had two fine coaches-Mr. Clark at the very first of the year, and Mr. Yarde for the remainder' of the year. ' During the very first of the year the Game- masters lost several games in very close over- times by a margin of one or two points. Two of these games went to Angola and another to Au- burn. Next came two defeats by Hicksville and Garrett. But Hnally at the end of the year, they won three games in a row just before the tourna- ment. The boys won their first tourney game with Corunna 42 to 18, and then lost to Auburn in the semi-finals 27 to 33. ' 4. 1956i R' ,r V Team if AK t J! ? . -41... 73' 4314666 - The 1950 track team enjoyed a very successful season. They won the Corner Con- ference track and field meet for the tenth consecutive year. Again the Butler boys were strongest in the straight running events and broad jump where Duard Bellamy ex- celled. During the regular season John Bright went undefeated in the 100 yard dash and lost but once in the 220. Jerry Beebe was all victorious in the 440 and Corky Shultz outclassed the field in his specialities, the mile and half mile. Cork was also victorious in the sectional and regional meets. Butler sent two boys to the State Meet. John Bright went in both the 100 and 220 and Cork came in 6th in the mile. As has been the custom the last few years Butler had representatives at the Goshen and Kokomo Relays. The shining performance there was Cork's record break- ing mile at Goshen. He bettered the record which he had set the year before. For the first time in many a year the 1951 track team appears to be without an outstanding distance man. There are sev- eral underclassmen who have shown some promise in this department and if one or two of these boys can develop the prospects for another good season in 1951 are bright. we .SZUWB 'J 61 V2 Kendallville 47 112 55 Howe 48 7 X 10 Garrett 35 3 X 10 52 Auburn 57 78 Fremont 31 54 Waterloo 36 81 Hamilton 28 Corner Conference Meet Butler 77 V2 Wolcottville 28 Fremont 34 V2 , Waterloo 25 Hamilton 32 Ashley 4 Avilla 0 E 1.

The Butler High School base- ball team had a very unpleasant A season this year as the polio out- 5553 Q break was at its highest at the be- ginning of the season. The baseball squad had a very good team this year with Beebe, Wilson and Everetts pitching, and Zerkle behind the plate doing a magnificent job of catching. Of course there was Beard, Weicht, Blaker, on First. Oben- dorf, Nelson and Slentz on second. Many of these posi- tions were alternated around. Nelson and Obendorf also had third base pretty well under control at all times. Many of us seem to forget the outfielders though they are of great demand in any baseball club. The team had a very good group to select from for the outfield positions. The only trouble was that one boy was about as good as another. There was Everetts, Maxton, Baron, Blaker, Ginder, Bellamy, Rosenberry and Kauffman. And last but not least the short stops were very good ball players and very good sportsmen both on and off the field. In my line of reasoning and l'm sure you readers will agree that sportsmanship is one of the greatest factors in any sport. The team had many difficulties , other than polio, such as the weather conditions which gave the team and the coach Mr. Beebe many headaches. In addition there Were nights when some of the boys did not play as Well as usual but no one can be perfect all the time as every one all ready knows by now.

Once upon a September 2nd, way back in 1947 at 8:15 in the morning, fifty-three young, bright, cheerful, bewildered, ladies and gentlemen walked through the portals of Butler High School. We were scared and eager and full of ambition. Our lives were just beginning and our education was in full progress. In order to run our ship we had to have some people to steer. Jerry Beebe looked like a promising lad and Marilyn Darby and Richard McBride with the help of Wayne Brown guided us away from the rocks of a green freshman year. Mr. Ulm and Miss Metz acted as life savers in case of trouble. After we be- came settled and studied for quite awhile, we felt in the need of some relaxation. We stepped off our ship of education and climbed on a haywagon beneath a starry sky on a warm autumn evening. Also, part of our relaxation and enjoyment came with the band marching at the DeKalb county fair and also in the solo and ensemble contest at Harrison Hill. The end of the year came and found us much older and wiser. , The following fall in September, 1948, school again started. It was great to see the old gang again and to enjoy the comforting feeling of studies. Thanksgiving rolled around and finally Christ- mas came and we participated in the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Christmas program. This year we became conscious of the need to raise money for our senior trip and we started the hat check service. Our class had lost four members but we were determined to stay together and go on to new and better gains. Blos- soms began to bud and birds began to sing and our thoughts turned to lots of sunshine and the cool water of nearby lakes that we could enjoy soon. However, studies came first and this was our preparatory period. We Wanted to face life-eye to eye. This year Jerry Beebe again led us with the help of Richard McBride, Mary Ann Hankey, and Marilyn Blaker. Mrs. Hampel and Mr. McCrory acted as our counselors in time of need. With the opening of school in Sep- tember we, as dignified Juniors came back to roam the halls and continue our study on our road of education. The world will little note nor long re- member what we said there, but they can never forget what we did in -53- the magazine subscription drive when we far surpassed our goal. Also in October we helped to please the people of Butler with our annual Halloween Carnival. During our spare time we sold concessions at all the home basketball games. This year we lost eleven of our class members and Jerry Beebe was again the admiral. We brought in Lenard Keller, Sue Casebere, and Mary Ann Hankey'as officers for 1949-1950. Mrs. Stage and Mr. Ashby loaned us a guiding hand and helped us with many problems. Thespis entered our number of talents and instilled the love of the theatre to the thirty-seven that remained in the Junior class. Under the capable direction of Mr. May we presented our first play Strictly Formalv starring many of the talented actors and actresses of Broadway, and many other streets in Butler. Now here we are in our glorious dignified senior year. This last time we chose Jerry Beebe, Howard Zerkle, Anne Korsmeyer, and Lenard Keller to lead us. Mrs. Stage, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Ashby acted as our Senior sponsors. In the fall of this year we had another hayride with a slight addition-square dancing was added. Two paper drives were scheduled and carried off with tons of success. We also sponsored a bake sale and many sweets appeared both selling and tasting. Also to our credit we presented That Crazy Smith Family early in the school year. It was a success with the loyal aid of Mr. Ruff. Now we stand, facing the world after our twelve years of education - numerous activities such as F.F.A. and F.H.A., Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y, Latin Club, and the many sports-the fun on the hayrides and other parties-the many understand- ing teachers, who have tried to help us-the laughs and the sorrows-the grade cards-the cokes and the gang down at Dal's-the wet win- ters and snowball fights-and all the rest that go to make up the life of youth. We now look back on all of this with fondest memories. Marilyn Darby. Jerry Beebe, Howard Zerkle.

M. from Fort Wayne to begin their Washington trip, which was to become a memorable week to all. The trip was made by a chartered Indiana Railroad bus driven by Mr. James Pritchard. The speedometer clocked up the miles on Sunday. A stop was made at Canton, Ohio, where a group of eager students climbed the steps to view lVIcKinley's Tomb. The group continued on to Pittsburgh. Here the night was spent in the comfort of the Sheraton Hotel. The next morning many students made their first acquaintance with the Pennsylvania Turn- pike. In the afternoon a tour was made at the Gettysburg battlefield. In spite of the steady drizzle, the lecture given by the special guide was enjoyed by all, and many pictures were taken with the remark, Wish I'd bought that Super-X film! The tired but happy seniors reached Wash- ington, D. C. in the evening at 6:30. An all day conducted tour of Washington was scheduled on Tuesday. Many places of interest were visited including the Monastery, Smithsonian Institute, Washington's home at Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery, the National Airport, and the town of Alexandria. The bus was available on Wednesday for visits to the Federal Buildings. The Mint, FBI, Capitol Building, and Congressional Library were main points of interest. A cruise was taken down the Potomac in the evening. Thursday was free for individual interests. Many students saw the Ford Theater, the Supreme Court, the National Art Gallery, and various other historic places. The stay in Washington, D. C., came to an end Friday morning early when a day of travel through dogwood-clad mountains began. An overnight stop was made in Wheeling, West Vir- ginia, at the Windsor Hotel. The last day of the trip ended Saturday after- noon slightly ahead of schedule at about 5:00 P. M. ....61...

We found it sit- ting in the Meyer with what looked like a flat tire. As I am rather Handy I soon got the Kaiser up on dry ground, and found that indeed We had a flat tire. While the Robbins sang, I toiled and sweated using the tire Rensch and finally got the spare tire on, then I set about repairing the Little hole in the tire. The next day we Went over some rather Baron land where the dust was very thick, so thick in fact that we had to tie Hankey's over our noses and mouths to keep the dust out. Finally We came to a Forrest where, on account of the very Ruff trail the Carr began to de- velop soine Knox.

We found that somewhere We had picked up a great quantity of Lint. Suddenly, before us stood a mountain Lyon, and off in the Forrest we heard a Wolff howl. Harrold stopped the Carr, in Starke terror, and Went into such a blue Funk, that he could not press the starter with his finger, and shook so that I could not aim the gun. I finally shoved him out of the driver's seat, got the Carr started, and drove on to a lovely waterfall Where a Carr Parker showed us a con- venient place to Cook our meal. We Cooked it, and then as the sun had disappeared and a Bright moon had come in its place, We rode back home. And because of his blue Funk We had no meat to hang on the Hook in our refrigerator.
