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.

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. This year, while it is a little early at the writing of this article to say exact- ly who will earn the medals, it seems that Marlene Doolittle will win the second year prize, and either Frances Kubic or Jewel Beebe will earn the first year prize. These prizes were first awarded in 1949.
