Advisor 0108 lfU0l Leap Year is traditionally the year when girls have the privilege of choosing their mates. Hence this year our theme centers on Leap Year-but with a difference. Years are marked into months, Weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Seconds are told by pendula swinging free. These trace patterns, some swinging in complete circles, if the bar is long enough-others simply back and forth-but as outside influences strike these pendula-as controls are attached to the bar these pat- terns become widely varied and seemingly erratic-but the patterns return. So it is in life, as time passes, out- side influences and controls disturb the tenor of the life and the pattern changes-so as we turn these pages we shall see patterns traced by pendula, free and con- trolled, the pattern varying as the tenor of the school life changes-as the life of the boys and girls vary- as the influences become greater, the more varied the patterns-and yet all patterns trace a home, a state, a nation for which all, even in leap year are striving. . ..2-r Zuma Page INTRODUCTION .... .2-6 Foreword .... ...2 Buildings . . . .... .4-5 Dedication' .... ..... 6 ADMINISTRATION .....,..... .... 7 -12 School Board .............. ..... 8 Administrative Personnel Instructive Personnel ..... .... 1 0 Maintenance Personnel ....12 CLASSES ................... ..... 1 3-24 Seniors ...................... ...... 1 4 Class History ... ............ .... 1 9 Survey, Class Highlights .... .... 2 0 I Juniors ........................ .... 2 2 Sophomores .................. .... 2 3 Freshman .... .... 2 4 GRADES ........................... ..... 2 5- 30 Kindergarten, First Grade ...,. ...... 2 6 Second, Third Grades ....... .... 2 7 Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Grades .... .... 2 8 Seventh, Eighth Grades ...... .... 2 9 Mudsock, Hopewell, Moore .... .... 3 0 ACTIVITIES .............. ..... 3 1-56 Dates of 1951-1952 ..... ...... 3 2 Windmill Breeze .... .... 3 4 Annual Staff .. ....35 Hi-Y ......... .... 3 6 Tri-Hi-Y ..... .... 3 7 Latin Club .... . .... 38 Library Club . . . . . . .39 Senior Play . . .............. . . . .40 Policy Council ........

Long, Frank Korsmeyer, Carl Bercaw 3400! glftfbf The big job of keeping our school from lagging behind the times or coming to a stand- still is put into the hands of the school board. Besides running their own businesses they sacrifice much time in thought and in action to improve Butler High School. If we did not have the school board, we would not have school, and it is quoted that education is the biggest factor in solving the communism problem. Mr. Ralph Mutzfeld is president of the board. His regular business is running a hardware store. Mr. Mutzfeld knows the school for two reasons, first, he attended school here himself and second, he has been a member of the ' school board for fifteen years. He is a respected member of this community and he is doing the im- portant duty of helping the next generation learn to take responsi- bility and find an honorable place in the community in their adult years. SPECIA SC H 1 Dioucna-us ' -:az-- . PAYP0 L L cow. puMD Mr. Frank Korsmeyer, secretary of the board, is manager of the local Indiana and Michigan Electric Company office. He has served on the board for five years, during which he has helped the school and community in many ways. Mr. T. M. Long is the manager of a local drug store. Mr. Long is treasurer of the board. He, also, is an experienced board mem- ber since he has been serving for four years. As anyone knows, being a treasurer of almost any organization isn't easy and Mr. Long is do- ing his job well. Mr. Carl Bercaw, as trustee of Wilming- ton Township, has been a member of the board since the consolidation of the Wilmington A Township a n d S 8, Butler schools. He Ul'j,,.vx0 has b e e n Wil- EC' Y mington's trustee ' 5 for seven years. ' He, also is a well- known and well- liked person in the community. H i s regular business is selling m o n u - ments. At the opening of the school year of September, 1951, only Hve new teachers were presented to the Butler Schools. In the grades, there was only one change being in the fourth grade. Mr. Ray- mond Mourer was replaced by Miss Doris Nodine and in addition, Mr. VVilliam Glesing came to help teach the Junior High and fill the position of varsity track coach. In the high school faculty, two changes had been made. Mrs. Evelyn lfVagner was employed as head of the high school and grade chorus. Mr. George Cherry was employed to be second team -9- .!4fLlll-l'1l'.5!l'l?ll.l!L' R?l'.1f1l1,l'IQf ERNEST ZELLER D., U.C.L.A., North Carolina, Illinois. Subject Hobby: Hunting and Fishing. H.

Thus, the teaching staff of the Butler Schools was complete and school was off to a good start. In December of 1951, the superin- tendent of schools, Mr. Cletis Jenkins resigned from his position and the principal, Mr. Bruce Brubaker became acting superintendent. For two months lVIr. Brubaker served as superintendent and in February, Mr. Ernest Zeller, a graduate of Indiana State Teachers College and Indiana University, and a man of extensive experience took the position of superintendent of the Butler Schools. The school year finished very successfully under the guidance of Mr. Zeller and the coopera- tion of the school staff. Indiana State B.S., M.S., Indiana University, Dir Science, Phy.

We were fifty-one rong. After we became ljusted to life in high hool, we found that it asn't really as bad as we id been led to believe. 'e organized as follows: resident - Jack Maxton, ice-President-Buck Kees- r, and Secretary-Treasur- '--Bish Hathaway. Our ionsors were Stanley Pep- e and Verl Oberlin. As ost other freshman class- , we pictured in our mind ong, hard, four-year strug- -a struggle which we ight even lose-but times 'ranged before the year was fer. During the year our ass had two social func- Pns, a hayride and a skating party. l The next year we were sophomores, a iar older and a year wiser than the preced- g fall. Our number had dwindled to forty- yen, but we were still the same old chums. le began to think a little more about our big. oked-forward-to trip to Washington, D. C,, hich we would take at the end of our senior ar. To start building our finances for this ent We ran the coat check booth at the sketball games, and we sponsored a booth gthe Halloween Festival. Our leaders this rar were Don Imler-President, Buck eesler-Vice President, Marilyn Grinder- ecretary - Treasurer, Stanley Pepple and iuline Metz-Class Sponsors. At the first the year we again had a hayride, but we Ld no second party because our plans were terrupted by the death of a faculty member. In 1950 we were getting confident. We td made it half way!

This year we were advanced and were allowed to have four of- ficers instead of three. These officers were elected: President-Don Imler, Vice President -Helen Coll, Secretary-Evelyn Knox, Treas- urer - Sharon Beebe, Sponsors - Eugene Yarde and Pauline Metz. We were allowed to sponsor more money-making events this year. We had bake sales and we were in charge of the concessions at basketball games. VVe were granted more privileges at the Halloween Festival than ever before. Our big money-maker was the magazine sales. Our class play, 'Cheaper by the Dozen, was given in April. In the spring there was a school party held at Pokagon Park in which our class took part. Then came our last year. Our high school days were three-fourths over. We had forty- two members. Our officers were President- Don Imler, Vice President - Art Bowman, Secretary - Norma Hartranft, Treasurer - Sharon Beebe, Sponsors-Frank Clark, George Cherry, and Pauline Metz. In the fall was our senior class play, HThe Cannibal Queen, which was another success. We had the tra- ditional fall hayride. The Halloween Festival brought us more money and our trip was be- ginning to be a reality. This was to be a hard year as far as the 1952 Tropaeum was concerned. VVe had to plan and replan with Mr. Ashby, our advisor. Then, as a class, we had to sell our product. i .

I imagine our big- gest thrill was coming to school that first day. Our first high school exams were something new, too. In some ways these were looked forward to but to those who hadn't studied they seemed dreadful. We will never forget the initiations. Of course, everyone seemed glad when school was out whether they really were or not. ULU' .STIIOAOHQOFQ EMI' As sophomores we served a banquet for the boys of baseball from the preceding sum- mer CThe banquet was in the fallj, The college section of the biology class journeyed to Chicago to study biology in the acquarium and museum. This took place during the second semester. 04 1' j4,nz'0r ye or 1' One of the unforgettable happenings during our junior year was our class play, f'Cheaper by the Dozen. Also, selling magazines was a lot of work, but a lot of fun went with it. I Om' inior year The senior year was our big year. In the fall was the senior class play, The Cannibal Queen. We had a paper drive in the fall and another in the spring. In early spring we sponsored a chili supper which was a rousing success. The year-end activities were the biggest thrills of our high school career. There was the lrVashington Trip which, I am quite sure, was enjoyed by all. Then came bacca- laureate. Oh! How sleepy we were that night flt was the night after we got home from Washingtonj. During the same week came award day and class day. The final and clos- ing night was commencement. We were put out on our own with our high school days to be looked back on, not to be looked forward to. 1 gzifif . Q jggn' Clifford Johnson, Dorman Davis, Donna Hook, Walter Slentz, Jim Sipe, Mr. Brubaker 7.6 In January of 1952 Indiana University con- ducted a survey in this community as a part of a statewide project. The head of this sur- vey was Dr. Harold Church, Director of the Division of Research and Field Services, School of Education, Indiana University. His assistant who came to Butler was Mr. Harold CSQIXLIWUQ y O'Neil. The purpose of the survey was to find the number of pre-school age and school age children living in Butler and the surrounding community--Stafford, Wilmington, Troy, and Franklin Townships, Also, school facilities were scored to Find how long the present ones -20- .Sizn in 1' 1.

By analyzing the information accurate predictions can be made now of what the situation will be during the next eight to ten years. The school buildings were checked and scored by Building Specialist Dr. Paul Seagers and his assistants of Indiana University. Pic- tures were taken of the buildings to help in the study of the rest of the information gathered in this survey. The local director was Mr. H. B. Brubaker, principal of the local school. Most of his as- sistants were members of the senior class of the Butler school. There were some from the Junior class. These students went from house to house asking the necessary informa- tion needed in the survey. In the townships the trustees and their advisory boards took charge of these duties. Those in connection with the survey wish to thank everyone in the community for their cooperation in making this survey a success. The results of the project will be announced later. The reports will be, in part, written and there will also be slide pictures taken in the class-rooms while classes were in session. -21- UGSSOPC 1953 Y k ' t 'SW ,ff A w g IH jf? is 7 - 1 fi ' 2 ei if i' X A J Q f ' , First row: Joyce Adams, Janet , Auer, Donald Badman, Georgia I Blanchard, Wanda Brade, Larry Craig, Marilyn Craig, Lee Dohner, Marlene Doolittle, Joyce Funk Second Row: Forrest Hamman, Beth Hankey, Joan Hankey, Phyllis Hankey, Shirley Harris, James Harter, Ethel Haverstock, Jerry Haverstock Third row: Shirley Heifley, Gus Higley, Virginia Hough, Don Kaufman Fourth row: Barbara Likes, Jim Lung, Nila Michael, Alger Miller 3: 25.

They are Christian associations based on high standards of religious faith. Their platform and purpose are the same: Clean speech, Clean living, and Clean scholarship. The emblem of the Tri-Hi-Y is a triangle in the center of which is a circle containing a torch. The corners colored red, white, and blue hold the words, Tri-Hi-Y, symbolizing Purity, Sacrifice, and Loyalty. The emblem denoting the Hi-Y is the triangle surrounding a cross. Inscribed above the cross are the words Hi-Y. Any junior or senior girl is eligible for membership in the Tri-Hi-Y and any sopho- more who has a BU average. Membership is open to any boy in the upper three classes although sophomoresqmust maintain a HC average. After applying for membership in the Hi-Y an application must be filled out and signed by the parents. His application is then voted on by the other members and if approved he is initiated into the club. M This year the Butler Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y were host to the District 3 conference. The conference each year is held at different schools where there are active Hi-Y and Tri- Hi-Y Clubs. This conference which was held on October 3, 1951, was for the officers of these clubs. There were six schools rep- resented. The conference was planned by the of- ficers and sponsors of the two Butler clubs. The conference was started at 4: 15 with group singing. Following the singing period was a devotional hour. After the completion of the devotional part of the program, the sponsors left for a meeting of their own and the officers re- mained in the High School Assembly for a session with Mr. Duff, the state director. In these sessions, various problems of each Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Club represented were discussed. At 6:00 p. m., the group ate a banquet sup- per in the school cafeteria, prepared by the Tri-Hi-Y of Butler. The last part of the service, following supper, was held in the gym where some special numbers were played before the group, using the talent from Butler, with a film One f - , X im . mi5'HlY' . , God, being shown in conclusion of the con- ference. . ,SZIWKCQA In the course of the past school year, the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y have contributed many services to their school. The Hi-Y rented three movies to entertain the student body. The first was a film on alcohol, called It's the Brain That Counts, and along about Christmas came the second called 'fKing of Kings,'7 a movie on the life of Christ. The third and last was 'fHelp Wanted, an expos'ee of the frauds in many employment agencies. Soeciaf guenfd In addition to these films, they arranged for and passed out the basketball programs at the home games. The Tri-Hi-Y purchased a mirror for and agreed to maintain the girls' rest room. Both organizations worked together in planning the fall conference and banquet held here and the Christmas program. This is a record of school service hard to beat and certainly one to be proud of. 1, 4 81 5-Movies presented to school by Hi-Y 5' lst row: Dick Obendorf, Jack Maxton, Gene Smith. 2nd row: Cliff Johnson, Don Imler, Mr. Ashby, Walter Slentz, Bishop Hathaway 3. lst row: Paul Tom, Dick Roan, Gene Smith, Jack Maxton, Bishop Hathaway, Don Imler, Tom Underhill. 2nd row: Bill Krontz, Fred Thomp- son, Dick Obendorf, Charles Hampel, Jerry Haverstock, Don Kaufman, Larry Ruch. 3rd row: Donald Ginder, Forrest Hamman, Larry Baron, Burnell Walter, Terry Fisher, Vaughn Billings, Cliff Johnson 6. 1st row: Barbara Likes, Judy Parker, Ruth Al- bertson, Helen Coll, Lenore Ringenberg, Janet Auer, Sharon Whitney, Betty Oberlin, Barbara Winkler. 2nd row: Shirley HeiHey, Dorothy Cluster, Shirley Surface, Pat Culler, Avis Armstrong, Audrey Miller, Marilyn Craig, Joan Hankey, Carolyn Lint, Janet Stark, Mrs. Hampel, Dorothy Houser. 3rd row: Marlene Doolittle, Wanda Brade.

Membership is open to all students who have taken first andfor second year Latin and want to further their knowledge of the subject. The meetings are held the last Monday of each month in room five which is the Latin room. The meetings are conducted much as any other clubs and parties are not in- frequent. The annual Christmas Party was post- poned this year due to the bad weather which closed the school. This year the club gave a 2 hour movie, The Last Days of Pompeii, as an auditorium program. Each year awards are presented to the most out- standing students attend- ing first and second year Latin classes. These a- wards are provided by the Latin Club and presented on Award Day by the sponsor, Mr. Ashby. The officers elected by the club to serve this year were: President, Joyce F u n k 2 Vice-President, Jack Maxtong Secretary- Treasurer, Sondra Sicard. OZZLW CM The Library Club was arted in 1951 by Jack uff. The duties of the brarian were such that l of the Study Hall eachers work were re- eved in connection with ie Library.

The name of the play was The Cannibal Queen. It was a three actj comedy written by Robert St. Clair and directed by Mr. Jack Ruff. The story of the play re- volved around a small hotel in a town called Centerville. A real, live cannibal queen was brought to this country by an ex-GI, to be studied by an ec- centric explorer, Professor Kent. Bruce Clyde, a young newspaper editor heard about this event and was going to have the Cannibal Queen, call- ed Ju-Ju, make a public ap- pearance. The time came for the ar- rival of Ju-Ju, but she didn't show up. Mr. Clyde didn't want to disappoint the people who had purchased tickets for Ju-Ju's appearance, so he per- suaded his iiancee, Brenda Kay, to pose as the cannibal queen. Then the real queen arrived and things started happening. The hotel was turned into a madhouse, where various peo- ple sought a 550,000 reward, or a marriage, or a job, and finally for their sanity. 1. Evelyn Knox, Carolyn Lint, Walter Slentz 2.

The Policy Council is the Hrst group of its kind to ever be formed in Butler High School. It is a step toward a full-scale student council which gives the students a sense of democracy by letting them give their opinions and viewpoints on school problems. By being able to do this, the students feel that they are actually a part of the school and have a place in it. A boy and girl from each class were chosen by the class sponsors and officers to be members of the Policy Council. These were as follows: freshmen-Tom McConnell and Edith Love, sophomores-Tom Underhill and Wilma Shultz, Juniors-Don Kaufman and Marjorie Smith, seniors-Jack Maxton and Sharon Beebe. Also the faculty selected two teachers to represent them. They were Mr. Oberlin and Mr. Ruff, Mr. Brubaker acted chairman. The student officers were Jack Maxton, Presi- dent: and Sharon Beebe, Secretary. Projects were at once undertaken by the Policy Council. Some of them were: sponsor- ing the March of Dimes in the school, helped start the monitor system, made signs to help keep people off the lawn when it was muddy, selected the assembly programs for the coming year, and encouraged depositing of waste paper in the proper contain- ers. I This organization, al- l, though it was new, showed the students can share re- mm sponsibility and if given a Chance, help solve their own school problems. 1. lst row: Edith Love, Jack Maxton, Tom Underhill, Mr. Ruff.

Dur- ing the year an octette was formed, consisting of, Gus Higley, Duane Keesler, Fred Thomp- son, Dick Roan, Mar- lene Doolittle, Donna Hook, Joyce Funk and Dorothy Houser. The octette sang for a num- ber of civic and com- munity clubs at differ- ent times throughout the year. In the spring all the vocal group combined to present a variety show, colorful in cos- tumes and sparkling in music. Mrs. Evelyn Wagner directed the show. The chorus and spee- ial ensembles, under Mrs. Wagner, met the sixth period two times a week.

It is the first time there has been an organization of this kind. The twenty- eight girls meet Monday noons for rehearsal. In January they sang several numbers for the student body. In February a school bus took them to Hopewell, Mudsock and Moore Schools, then on to Auburn to sing at Souder's and Sanders' Hospitals for the patients. In March they sang for Butler's two con- valescent homes. They were invited to sing again before school closes. Their last appearance this season was the Spring Concert. A boy's Glee Club has been organized recently and they will appear to- gether at the concert. The Grade School operetta, The Toys That Had To VVait, was put on by the first four grades. As the curtain opened, Mrs. Santa was seen in her rocking chair rocking and knitting busily. Old Santa was seen at one of his tables, putting the last few toys in his pack.

Joyce Funk, Gus Higley, Marlene Doolittle and Richard Roan took the principal roles. The story dealt with two foppish boys who wanted to sing in a barber shop chorus con- test and needed two other singers to fill out the quartet. The two girls asked for and ob- tained the positions. A complication arose in that one of the judges proved to be the father of one of the girls. Of course, every- thing worked out all right, the quartet won the contest and the two couples found them- selves very much enchanted with each other. along, Mrs. Santa wondered what she could do to make them happy. She would call Titania, Queen of the Fairies, she alone could make each toy come to life and happiness this Christmas Eve. Titania comes and the different toys are dis- covered alive in the store room by the fairies. Each of the toys sing and dance and they all have a very jolly time. The operetta finished with a grand finale, everyone on stage singing, The Man with the lrVhiskers. 1.

Mrs. Lida Stage has devoted many hours to these beginning band members. The Junior Band is made up of students from the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades. Mrs. Stage had approximtely thirty students under her direction this year. Eighth grade graduation is the main ac- tivity of the Junior Band. For the event the students practice very diligently. On March 7th, the band gave an exhibition of their talents on the gym floor by forming a hearth and a large B. The rest of the year is devoted to learning the fundamentals or playing simple marches and overtures. After much time and hard work in this organization, the students' goal is reached, a chair in the Butler Senior Band. lst row: Janice Bacon, Freda Moore, Julie Smith, Bruce Hathaway, Sylvia Van Leuven, Karen Billings, Linda Smyth 2nd row: Karen Walker, Judy Snyder, Janet Moore, DeAnna Rosenberry, Allan Peters, Joan Rex, Judy Stapleton, Marry Ellen Van Wye, Ellen Grimm 3rd row: Danielle Jones, Sharon Warner, Jim John- son Merl Young, Enid Hankey, Kay Bacon, Eleanor Clear, Sandra Doolittle, John Smith, John Meeks Standing: Leslie Ashby, Max Hoffer, Don Rosenberry, Pete Womack, Judy Van Zile, Bill Ringenberg .-48... lst row: John Bright, Howard Zerkle, Max Warstler, Marion Walters, Rolf Gerhardt, Neil Hankey, Max Little, Paul Zimmerman, Charles Miller, Wayne Heffley, Skeet Keller, Charles Oberlin 2nd row: Carolyn Rensch, Melva Young, Marilyn Blaker, Sue Casebere, Sondra Rosenberry, Jeanne Sweitzer, Margie Grable, Esther Rickerd 3rd row: William Redwyne, Charles Smyth, Ann Korsrneyer, Eileen Moughler, Doyle Wright, C , Leaving Fort Wayne in an Indiana Railroad bus driven Mr. Doyle Wright at 7:30 Sunday, May 13, 1951, thirty- D seniors and their sponsors CMr. and Mrs. Paul Ashby :l Mr. Frank Clarkj started for the very memorable trip Washington, D.

The social conduct between boys and girls, students and pupils, frequently out- weighs in lasting values much that is formally taught. Classes are limited to two social events a year. Various clubs have occasional social events that help to make life much more pleasant. The fall is a time for hayrides and every class and some clubs have one. In the spring there is an all school picnic as well as the trip to Washington, Classes may but .do not always have a spring party. The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y always have a -50- 1. Vocal Octette. lst.

A regular feature of the faculty social life is a Christmas party which was omitted this year for various reasons.

No high school class has a party during class hours. Each year the P.T.O. opens its yearly pro- gram with a potluck supper, at which the new membership is enriched and the new mem- bers of the faculty are introduced. -51... ffffelflflfgfy Upper row: 1 and 3 Motion Picturesg 2.

The school sports program was very fortunate in having been furnished by the athletic department with outstanding coaches again this year. Mr. Beebe was the athletic director and besides taking care of his multiple duties as such, he discovered new talent for the future varsity basketball and track teams as Jr. High basketball and track coach. This indispen- sible job was carried on in such a manner that his boys profited much from his teaching. This can be seen in the attitude which these boys now carry with them.

His main contributing factors in the development guiding interest and patience is one of the of the players ability. Not only did he tell the boys how to master the game but they could also see him in action and learn by observing. Mr. Cherry was in large part responsible for the outstanding season the second team pursued. He captivated the boys and then he taught them basketball. Mr. Cherry kept the baseball team hustling as assistant base- ball coach. Mr. Glesing educated the local thinlies in the finer points of the track and field events as head track coach. This is his first year in the fold of the green and gold and the boys certainly profited from the training and sports- manship as taught by Coach Glesing. W!Llllltgl l',i Don, Bish. and Gene are our official towel throwers this year. They looked after the balls, did the washing, cleaned the Hoor, and did numerous little favors for the fellows. Don did much more than his share for the first team as he also helped lead the cheering sec- tion as cheerleader. Bish looked after the baseball and track teams as well as the basketball team. Genels principal sport was basketball where he managed the second team. Gene was also a great help with the other sports. He should be very valuable next year as he is a junior. The other two boys graduate this year. 1 M 4. Sharon Seltcnlight, Eleanor Lucas 2, Clifford Johnson, Nancy Bright. Don lmlcr 3. Victory Bell CTA HFPL!!! LJQI11 The morale of a team depends on knowing that someone is behind them. To help let them know, Butler High School was blessed with a fine group of cheerleaders. Nancy Bright, Don Imler, and Cliiiord Johnson led the cheering section for the first team and Sharon Seltenright and Eleanor Lucas led the boost- ing of the second team. VVhen the team was behind, our cheer- leaders never quit urging them on. They al- ways were encouraging the teams by their excellent leading of the cheering section. The only reward these people get is the knowledge that they have helped the teams' spirit and morale. They certainly deserve a lot of grati- tude for a job well done. 5.

Clifford Johnson ii-PCLC The 1950-51 track squad under the able supervision of Coach Yarde pursued a much better than average track sea- son. They competed with many teams in this corner of the state and always collected their share of blue ribbons. The local thinlies opened the season at Kendallville with a Jlual meet. Butler Won seven of the eleven firsts but lacked depth enough to Win. Johnny Bright and Jerry Beebe Were double winners for Butler. The final score rested at 64 to 45. At Auburn Johnny Bright scored the only double as eachl team won five firsts but Butler' still lacked depth and came out on the short end of a 721!2 to 421,62 score. The team showed better team balance against Fremont Where they copped 5 first places to their 6 but Won enough seconds and thirds to win 60 to 49. Butler scored 75 points at home to romp to victory in a four-Way track meet. T h e Windmills captured six events and both relays to outdistance the field. Spencerville finished second with 45341 points, Hamil- ton Was third with 30 and 34 points and St. Joe finished last with 13141 points. The Corner Conference was again for the upteenth time by the local thinlies. They also participated in the Goshen and Kokomo relays. In the Section- al Meet at Fort Wavne Johnny Bright placed third in the sec- ond section of the 100 yard dash and first in the first section of the 220 yard dash with winning time 22:9 seconds. Jerry Beebe placed fourth in the 440 yard dash and Olus Everetts finished second in the mile run. 1. Jerry Beebe, Harold Carr, Olus Everetts, Larry Baron-Relay Team 2. John Bright 3. Loren Beard.

They scored 884 points and their opponents scored 703 points. They won the Kendallville Invitation- al Tourney and went to the finals in the County Tourney. They won a total of 26 basketball games and lost only 9. This is a large schedule but many evenings they played two games, that is the 5th and 6th grades also had their games as well as the 7th and 8th grades. One can readily see that Butler is building for tomor- row. This keen competitive bunch of boys who have built sportsmanship and a fighting spirit are already a long way on the road to being the future stars of Butler High School. -.62-. Kendallville Invitational Tourn lfafmfw The 1951-52 edition of the Butler Injuns under the supervision of Coach Cherry, for the first year, won the second team county tourney-rolling over Garrett 37 to 19 and clinching the tourney by winning over Ashley 39 to 27. In regular season play they came out on the long end of the scoring in 17 games and the short end in only 3 games. They amassed a total of 864 points while their opponents acquired 575 points. Another high point of the season was the tieing of Fremont for the Corner Conference championship - winning five games and losing one. Cherry's cagers by walloping Spencer- ville 71 to 22 opened a very successful season. They then piled another impressive score on top of Hamilton-58 to 21. The 1njuns trip to Columbia City did not turn out so successful as they lost 42 to 35. They bounced back hard into a five game winning streak.

Butler traveled to Angola to open their season with a 7 to 0 shutout. They went to bat 27 times and hit safely 8 times for a team batting average of .250. Kendallville came here to open the season at home. Both teams collected 5 hits but most of ours came in the third while Kendall- ville hits were scattered. Waterloo was overwhelmed by the crack- ing of Butler bats-13 to 5 as our batters earned 14 hits in 35 trips for an even .400 team average. Butler couldn't consolidate two hits in any one inning and suffered their only defeat of the season 7 to 3 to a well coached Ashley team. The 'LMills regained their fine batting edge with 10 hits in 29 trips-a .345 team bat- ting average to win over Albion 9 to 6. Every pitcher dreams of chucking a no-hit game. This dream was realized by Arthur Wilson in the game against Wolf Lake. He gave up but 3 walks while striking out 15 bat- ters in 7 innings which high school ball is played. The team supported him on the field but were able to come through with but 2 hits winning 4 to 0. Butler collected 13 runs on 17 hits in 38 trips to beat Rome City who scored only twice. In the last contest of the season the team hit at the blistering pace of .406 with 11 hits in 32 trips. They outscored Angola 13 to 6. During the season the batting averaged .301 and there was some mighty fine baseball played by a swell bunch of boys. They out scored their opponents 69 to 27 and finished second in the T ri-county Baseball League with a 7 and 1 won lost record. This was bettered only by Ashley who had a perfect season.
