EBERT, Butler 7 The Latin word, Tropaeum, has been the name of Butler's yearbook for many years. Tropaeum means victory or a symbol of victory, a trophy. The annual is a storehouse of memoriesg a story in pictures and words of the school year. We have endeavored to make this yearbook a trophy of that hard-fought game of life played during the 1952-53 year- a trophy that will be prized for years to come. NOn to a Modern Worldf, theme of the annual, brings to mind many different things. For the mechanical minded person it probably means rockets, harnessing of atomic power, ultra-modern structures. To others it means peace and understanding between nations. The world of today, and especially the youth, are looking forward to the future. What will it bring to our lives and our world?

KORSMEYER, Treas. T. M. LONG, Sec. Sedan! gow-wi Our school board is composed of the five men whose pictures are on this page, A. J. Moore, F. H. Korsmeyer, T. M. Long, Leighton Tombow and Keith Culler. It meets the third Monday of each month and discusses the problems involved in the operation of a school. It must set up policies instead of deciding is- sues as they arise, and then place these policies for enforcement in the hands of the superintendent. The school board should work in close harmony with the superintendent and determine if he is doing a good job and support him in what he does. If it finds he is not satisfactory, it should replace him. The superintendent is the professional expert and the executive of the board. He is responsible for choos- ing the teachers, directing and guiding the students and many other things in which the board agrees. One of the first requirements of the citizens is to keep a competent school board in charge of the school system. We believe we have such a school board, three outstanding business men, an outstanding live stock raiser, and a fine farmer. L. F.

Mr. Lowe, the new principal, Mrs. Griffith and Miss Nodine, new in commerce and English, Mr. Bowlby in science and mathematics, Mrs. Moody in F7 vocal music, Mr. Boch and Mr. Ankney in the junior high, with Mrs. Ziegler, Mrs. Lowe and Miss Bowen in the grades, Mrs. Hiatt brought in from the country and Mrs. Camp and Lytell at Moore constituted the faculty changes. Mrs. Moody also took over the art formerly taught by Mr. Ashby who was moved to full time high school work.

The six-six plan replaced the old 4-4-4 plan, so departmentalism in the fifth and sixth grades vanished in accordance with the best educational thought. The seventh and eighth grades became an integral part of the high school, forming the junior high. Much of the building was refurbished during the summer, and Moore was almost remodeled. Mr. Chand- ler replaced Mr. Houser on the engineering corps. The monitor system was continued and office cadets were instituted for both of the administrative offices, thus relieving some administrative and sec- retarial duties of these persons.

Day after day these two men work hard to keep our school building warm and in a clean, enjoyable condition. They empty the waste paper baskets each noon and evening, sweep the floors and do many other things too numerous to mention. The nicest thing about these two men is that they always have a smile for everyone which means a lot to some of us kids. Their willingness to help at all times is greatly appreciated. , fmt i Wiz, OTIS CALL nil, A ao- : 2 This page sponsored by the BUTLER FARM EQUIPMENT COMPANY, Butler CLYDE CHANDLER 03 ffm zfega dawned cz 77!ac!em 704264 VX DONALD BADMAN Chorus 1,23 Basketball 1,23 Lost Horizon 33 General course.

'yfzeeimen 1950 saw the addition of fifty-eight freshmen to Butler High School. We realized that we were be- ginning our last four years of school and that we must live well and work hard to obtain that far away goal- a diploma. We elected Marlene Doolittle class presi- dent, Don Kaufman, vice-president, and Paul Tom secretary-treasurer. S In September of 1951 we were back again, but as sophomores, with an enrollment of fifty-three. We were one step nearer that revered diploma and so we chose our officers very carefully. Paul Tom was elected president, Shirley Heffley was chosen secretary-treas- urer and Dick Obendorf was elected vice-president. Mr. Ruff became one of our sponsors along with Mr. Berg who had been our sponsor in our freshman year. ln this, our second year of high school we chose our class sweaters. Many of our class participated in various school activities such as basketball, baseball, track, different clubs and in many of the schoolas musical activities-some entering and placing in the state solo and ensemble contests. 65444763047 fcaukvw The junior class organized in 1952 with fifty members present. For the year we again elected Paul Tom president, Jim Sipe vice president, Judy Parker secretary and Dick Obendorf treasurer. This eventful year we se- lected our class rings. Concessions were man- aged by Gene Smith. We worked hard on magazine sales and far surpassed any previous record. A cast of fourteen showed remarkable ability in presenting a dramatization of James Hilton's novel - Lost Horizon. The remainder of the class provided backstage activity and worked hard. Sauna 1953 - seniors and our long hard hard journey was ended. The forty-five classmates met a bit sadly and elected for the third time Paul Tom as president, Gene Smith vice-president, Judy Parker secretary and Dick Obendorf treasurer. Doris Nodine was added as sponsor. We chose our caps and gowns, invitations and began work on the annual and Vane. We sold loyalty badges. Every member of the class turned out when- ever possible to help on paper drives, chili supper and the play Dear Ruthn. Our dream of a trip to Washington and New York became a reality and everyone was anxious to be on his way. It took a lot of work and many setbacks but we finally reached that goal - Commencement night. Though we should have been jubilant, all felt just a little sad, but we know we will never forget these four years, the friends, the heartbreaks, and the setbacks as we go on to make a world of our own. We trust that we are at least partially prepared to meet the demands of this modern, but thoroughly un- certain world of ours. This page sponsored by ROBERT S.

Ashby. sam This year with Mr. Ruff spending half his time in the library and Mrs. Hampel teaching several classes in girls' physical education and biology, the English load has been spread over five teachers. The ninth, tenth and eleventh grade English classes participated in the nation wide contest on Thrift which was held last fall. Each member of these classes wrote an essay on the subject, Save - The American W'ay',. The winning paper from our school, written by Mary Wolfe, was sent to Indianapolis for judging. The seventh and eighth grades are getting their English training under Mr. Boch. Mrs. Griffith is teaching the freshmen, and Miss Nodine has both tenth and eleventh year English. Mr. Ruff's sophomore class sponsored the mock election held during October and early November. He has two other English classes. He also sponsored the Breeze. Mr. Ashby, with much graduate work in English and experience in teaching speech and journalism took over English twelve which gave half time to speech and half time to the annual and the Vane. 1.

This in con- nection with speech compromise the twelfth year of English and is required of all college preparatory and commercial course students. There is a total of twenty-two in the class. The class is responsible for the annual. The make-up of the annual is different than it was last year. The photography will be done almost wholly by Indiana School Pictures of Indianapolis and R. S. Sutula of Elkart. The yearbook is being printed this year by Josten's of Owatonna, Minnesota. Changing from letter press to offset printing requires copy to be in very early. The advertising is different than last year in that each page is sponsored by a business place. Due to the change in the manner of advertising, photography, and writing of the annual, the production costs are a little lower, although not enough to make up for the deficit incurred last year. The deficits were always made up from the senior class funds, but because of other demands upon the senior money, the deficit had to be met by raising the price of the annual, and the cost of advertising, which are now sponsorships. Two multiples were sent in Nov. 28, thus more than meeting the first deadline requiring only one. Other deadlines were more than met. Editor-in-Chief ..,. Assistant Editor . . , Sports Editor .. .

The first year Mr. Ruff taught in the Butler schools he started a mimeographed paper, the Breeze. This was edited and printed by members of the junior English class. The second year the Breeze was continued as a project of the third year English class. However, with the coming of the third year of his service in the school, a class in journalism was organized to edit a portion of the town paper - the Record-Herald, - and to edit our Annual - The Tropaeum. This class was assigned to Mr. Ashby, the sponsor of the Annual, so the Breeze staff was a volunteer organization, work- ing out-side of the class room and after school under Mr. Ruff's direction. The paper continued as a mimeographed magazine, 11-1 H f' J? .2'a2ss:fP.fx'1 Z 7,1 H-44 3rd row: Maureen Hill, Judy Parker, Joyce Adams, Tom McConnell, Judy Snyder, Lenore Ringenberg, Sondra Sicard, Marlene Doolittle, Mary Jaycox, Jean Wilson. 4th row: Burmell Walter, Richard Roan, Bill Sipe, Gene Smith, Barbara Lung, Wanda Brade, Cus Higley.

A The second semester Mr. Ruff took over the jour- nalism class and speech class. combining the Vane and the Breeze, so that the printed material in the Record- Herald was reprinted each two weeks with some ad- ditional copy supplied by the volunteer staff. This changed the Breeze to a printed paper and the for- mat was liked much better. The annual became a project of a smaller staff which did all of its work either outside of school hours or during the activity period. Marlene Doolittle re- mained the editor-in-chief, but some of the lesser important places were eliminated and the work fell more heavily upon a few.

With the advent of required English in the twelfth year for all college and commercial course students, Journalism was instituted along with speech. The major portion of the journalism was devoted to pre- paring material for publication in the Record-Herald each week as something of a school paper. To do this the class was divided into two sections, each responsible for .every other week's paper. Wanda Brade and Marjorie Smith were chosen by the class as editors, while various other members provided the staff. Each of the editors made the assignments, col- lected the copy which was graded the first semester by Mr. Ashby. About half a page of the Record-Herald was devoted to the Vane - for this was the name of our publication - each week. Sondra Sicard and Judy Parker were responsible for all feature articles, Marlene Doolittle and Richard Roan were to provide the music items while Gene lst row: Sara Reidenbach, Marilyn Craig.

This latter was taken over finally by Marlene and Joan Hankey. A shifting of classes between Mr. Ashby and Mr. Ruff threw the responsibility of both the Vane and the Breeze upon Mr. Ruff. The Annual became an out-of-class project with a diminished staff. The Vane was continued as a class project with continued publishing in the Record-Herald. At times material for the Vane seemed dreadfully hard to find, and other times it flowed in in such abundance that material was held over to another week, or published outside the actual columns of the Vane. It seems that this venture in journalism was suc- cessful, for many of the readers of the paper expressed to both the editor and the teachers their appreciation of being able to read real school news in the paper.

Joan Hankey Dem Paid Dear Ruth is the story of an American family living in Kew Gardens, Long Island during World War II. The family consists of Edith and Harry Wilkins, mother and father of a very attractive daughter and one impish, intellectual and impersonating individual. Ruth, the older, is the sensible one of the Wilkin's clan, while Miriam, the younger daughter is the ever serious, pessimistic addition. To show her patriotic nature, she writes letters to several servicemen sign- ing Ruthis name. One of the letters was addressed to a Lt. Bill Seawright who appears to claim Ruth for his own only to discover she is engaged to another man. The play was sincerely enjoyed because it is so closely related to any family which revolves around a teen- ager. dad! Dora ,..,.... ,.,. iN Tarjorie Smith Edith Wilkins .,., .

The first year the membership was small and the duties few. The meetings were held once a month, usually in the evenings. When the second year of the Library Club started, the members arranged the books in the Library accord- ing to the Dewey Decimal System. A pamphlet file was started and a metal cabinet was purchased for that purpose. A magazine rack and new magazines were purchased. The members put new book-pockets and due date slips in each book. The last year the library was all rearranged.

The purpose of the club is further class interest in Latin, to discover the great relationship between it and English. lncidentally most of the meetings end socially and with refreshments. The meetings consist of vocabulary drills, deriva- tive drills, spelling matches, and various other phases of Roman life, with an occasional excursion into the religious life of the Latins.

One project was making the beau- tiful, lighted board used in the Hi-Y - Tri-Hi-Y in- duction service. The art class designed and painted the board, and the mechanical drawing class put it together. Mrs. Stage has been with us for many years doing fine work and this year is no exception. Several ensembles were organized and entered the contest along with the solos.

Where else can one spend an hour getting rid of excess energy and have a lot of fun, too? And, it is a lot of fun under the able direction of Mrs. Lida M. Stage. Mrs. Stage has successfully directed the B. H. S. band for a number of years, and we are proud to have her still leading our musicians through their paces. This year for the first time, the band was given a full hour to devote to practice. Their group activities got under way in October by marching at the Auburn Fair. They continued to pep up our basketball games again this year by playing some snappy tunes as well as a very effective rendition of our national anthem as the flag was raised. They did some floor work at Christmas time, making the star and tree in lights. Last February several of the students entered the District Solo and Ensemble contest in Fort Wayne. Those who received first there, went on to the state contest in Indianapolis. The following participants went to the state contest: a brass sextet consisting of Scuba gave! Dick Roan, Vaughn Billings, Joan Hankey, Janet Smyth, Jim Lung, and Bishop Hathaway, received first ratings and Helen Coll received a second. This February, the band entered the Band Contest making a very good showing. Many entered the solo and ensemble contest, too. Their year was topped off with the annual Spring Concert. This event really proves what they have accomplished during the year. This year's officers, Dick Roan, president, Beth Hankey, vice-president, Marjorie Smith, secretary, Joan Hankey, treasurer, and Chuck Baird and Lee Pierson, librarians, did a wonderful job of coordinat- ing the year's activities and in presenting everything from Bach to boogie.

C. They traveled all day with tew stops and that night reached Wheeling, West Virginia. Bright and early the next morning they started on the next part of their iourney. Early in the evening they reached the Ebbett Hotel in Washington. Everyone was anxious to get settled and were soon organized and preparing themselves tor their stay in Washington. On Tuesday and Wednesday came bus tours at the city. Many famous historical points ot interest were visited-Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Jet- terson Memorial, Capitol Building, White House, Blair House, Arlington Cemetery, Mount Vernon, Smithsonian Institute, Congressional Library, Supreme Court, U. S. Bureau ot Printing and Engraving-all were included.

One evening the seniors spent on a moonlight cruise on the Potomac River. The boat took the group to an amusement park where they stayed tor about 45 min- utes, then headed back to port. On Friday morning the seniors started homeward. On the way back such places as the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Battlefield ot Gettysburg were viewed. At Gettysburg many things were seen that had been studied at school in history classes. Friday night the stopping place was Pittsburgh, Penn- sylvania-the Sheraton Hotel. Late Saturday atternoon the seniors returned to Fort Wayne from a trip which made history-book printing and pictures come to lite. This trip will never be forgotten.

A., has a long record of service to both the school and the community. The club is primarily a religious organization at- tempting to live up to the highest standards of Chris- tian living. lts membership is limited to the upper three classes with the sophomores only of high scholas- tic standing being admitted. Some of the projects attempted this year and car- ried to fruition were - our biggest money maker, that of presenting free the basketball programs to the entire school, two full length motion picture shows - Moonlight Sonata and Abraham Lincoln - and sev- eral shorter motion picture programs, such as The Child of Bethlehem given at Christmas. The club, in connection with the Tri-Hi-Y, always presents the Christmas assembly program, decorates a Christmas tree, has a Christmas party and a farewell party for the seniors in the spring. All this in addition to its regular meetings. lst row: Vaughn Billings, Burmell Walter, Dick Obendorf, Larry Baron, Don Kaufman. 2nd row: Gene Smith, Fred Thompson, Dick Roan, Tom Umderhill.

The officers were elected last spring. They are as follows: Marilyn Craig, President, Wanda Brade, Vice-President, Joan Hankey, Secre- tary, Pinky Funk, Treasurer: and Sondra Sicard, Chaplain. Two of the officers were not elected last spring. Shirley Heffley was chosen as Vice-President, but due to illness could not attend school, so Wanda Brade took her place.

The Tri-Hi-Y along with the Hi-Y made a trip to Fremont, Indiana, to induct officers and members to start both a Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y club there. Something new was added to the annual Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Christmas Party held on the eighth of Decem- ber. It was a potluck supper, with the boys bringing the refreshments and desserts and the girls bringing the rest of the food. After the meal, they round danced. Instead of bringing gifts for each other, e'ach one brought a gift for an older person, which they took to the Convalescent Home. Mrs. Hampel is to be a counselor at Camp Tecum- seh, the state Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Camp at Delphi, Indiana, this summer. Higley, Linda Smyth, Barbara Winkler, Rosella Healey.

The Policy Council of Butler High School is a comparatively recent organization. It was formed just last year. It is composed of one boy and a girl from each of the classes, the principal and two teachers. The Council does not hold any regular meetings. However, the meetings are usually held during the activity period. The first meeting this year consisted largely of the election of officers. They are as follows: President, Jim Sipeg V. President. Larry Barong Secretary. Vir- ginia Boyer. The principal purpose of the Policy Council is to present the students' viewpoint to the faculty and ad- ministration, and to help formulate some of the poli- cies of the school. The selection of monitors was one of the first items of business. Eighteen monitors and alternates-three for each period-were chosen. The Council held several meetings to set up policies for the school to be published in a Policy Handbook. ,. .1 2nd row: Mr. Glesing, Mrs. Stage, George llill. Larry Baron, Principal L. E. Lowe. Usually the procedure for forming a policy is as follows: a meeting is held in which the problem is presented and thoroughly discussed. The problem is not acted upon at this meeting. but held over. This gives the members of the Council time to discuss the matter with other students, and to form their opinion on the subject. At the next meeting the Council takes action, and a definite policy is formulated. Several of the policies so formed have been accepted by the administration and school board this year. Some of the policies are: Roberts' Rules of Order shall be used by all organizations and classes: students who do not perform the work assigned them by the classes or sponsors must either find a substitute or pay a fine. Unpaid fines will be charged against them at the close of their senior year. We hope the Council will continue for many years to come, and have even better success than it has had in the past two years. This page sponsored by the BUTLER P. T. 0. Offcte With the new school administration changing much of the paper work in the superintendentis office, thus mak- ing Mrs. Houlton's work heavier, and the great amount of paper work in the principal's office which interferes with his other duties, it has been found expedient to appoint office ca- dets from among the students of the high school. This group learns office procedure, duplicating, types letters, runs errands and is otherwise helpful, thus enabl- ing Mrs. Houlton to get her work done without continual interruption.

The latter part of last year a group of monitors was organiz- ed by Mr. Brubaker who was our principal then. It functioned well as an experiment. This year the. administration decided to continue this work on the part of the students. So with help from various sources the group at the left was select- ed to work in the halls during school hours. A desk sits at the foot of the stairs. Here sit the monitors to study and watch the halls. The duties are not strenuous, but they do require tact, and the ability to study under hand- icaps.

Ze!! .leadme Any successful athletic team must have a good coach so that he may teach it the fundamentals of the sport. George Cherry, head coach and George Boch, assistant coach have proved that. This is Coach Cherryis second year at Butler. Last year he was the assistant. Mr. Boch is in his first year here. Mr. Glesing is now coaching his second year here in the field of track. Another essential factor contributing to the success of any team is a good manager. He keeps the game running smoothly by furnishing the boys with clean uniforms at each game, keeping the dressing rooms and equipment clean and in good repair. He sees that there is an ample supply of all needs. He is also the statis- tician for the teams. We have three managers, as listed to the right. And last but not least are the yell leaders, who lead the fans in cheers for the teams. This helps boost the morale of the teams, and helps in getting games won. We had good leaders.

Escada!! uPlay Ball! was heard across the diamond at the ball field when baseball practice started last fall. The unusually large number of boys turned out for the team this year, making the job of cutting the squad extremely difficult. Several reasons contributed to the record of the season which was not the best. Last summer the boys did not have Junior Legion Baseball to sharpen their eyes for belting the ball. Also many of the boys were new at the game. ' Errors seemed to plague the ball team all through the season, and it wasn't unusual to have six errors in one of the better games. Some poor fielding errors cost us more than one game. Like any good team the But- ler 9 always came sparking back making up for their mistakes. This was the first year than any of our pitching staff had tossed. The three boys who did their best were: Paul Tom, Don Kaufman, and Jerry Koviak. Again as last year Donald Ginder was behind the mask with Earl Shultz relieving. Hitting on the team was good this year with the power com- ing from two left handers and two right handers. These four were Don Kaufman and Bill Sipe batting left, Larry Baron and Rocky on the right. The team aver- age was over the .250 mark. Although We did not win all of our games, the boys learned sportsmanship and honor. 1. Don Kaufman, Bill Sipe, Donald Ginder, Larry Baron. 2. lst row: Robert Shambaugh, asst. mgr.

Coach Glesing was able to overcome this lack of size by training it in Butleris traditional fighting spirit. With this spirit in mind, it battled its way through the season's games, winning many and losing a few, too, along the way. Starting the season rather weakly, the team won but two of the first eight scheduled games. These were St. Joe Q29-161 and Waterloo Q34- 27l. Two of these losses were to Fre- Also in this season were two tournaments. The first was the annual Kendallville Invitational where our boys lost in the final game to Kendallville. On March 9, there was the usual annual DeKalb County Junior High Tournament. This however, oc- curred too late to be recorded in the annual. On the first five were Bill Ringenberg and Richard Lint, the high scorers with about ten point averages, with Burgess Walters, Clayton Derrow, and George King in there playing hard, too. George King was an unusual player mont, one of the toughest junior high S in that since he went to a country teams our coaches have ever seen.

Showing an earnest desire to follow in the footsteps of last yearis county championship B team, they left behind an enviable record very similar to the varsity. They played the same type of ball, had the same coaches, yell leaders and managers, played the same teams and made the same record-16 wins and 5 losses. wins for the second and the varsity teams. This successful season was due partially to the over- average height of a few players, the valuable experience gained while on the freshman team, and the enthusiasm which the boys displayed. Shortly after the county tourney a new first string was formed-Burdick, King. Nelson, Parker and Un- derhill. This became necessary when Blair, Sipe and Wilson were promoted to the varsity. The new team found it a little hard to adjust itself to team play at Q , start, the first string of Blair, Nelson, Parker, Sipe, and Wilson battled their way to the county tourney. Here with the help of Underhill, King, Burdick, McConnell, they captured the trophy to make it a double sweep with the first team winning the varsity cham- pionship at the same time. The amazing drive of the team helped make a record for Butler High -a combined season record of 32 This page sponsored bythe BUTLER THEATRE. 74a Scanlan,-ad We They 50 Spencerville 24 56 ' Hamilton 26 25 Columbia City 30 51 ti Wolcottville 11 49 'Waterloo 25 38 Auburn 41 38 Garrett 31 39 Angola 40 43 it Fremont 32 54 Churubusco 31 46 ' ' St. J oe 29 44 'Garrett 34 42 'Ashley 35 42 St. J oe 38 48 Leo 38 36 Edgerton 31 42 'Ashley 36 28 Angola 40 35 Albion 38 24 'Avilla 22 48 Waterloo 26 'Corner Conference Game County Tourney Game 65 first.

Don Blair Tawny? V for victory. This was our slogan this year. After losing the first five of last year's squad, this year's team made up of second string varsity and B team boys, has compiled an enviable record. The team was not too fancy, but it used a devastating fast break on all opponents and, by driving hard until the final buzzer, showed no mercy to any team-be they fast or slow. Some of the success was due to the number of rather skilled players on the team. This fact was evident in the first game when Ginder was lost with a leg injury which benched him for the remainder of the season. Later Kaufman became ineligi- e ble. Still the team showed no ill effects. The season ended with 16 wins and five losses. This was due to the scoring of Bellamy, Carr, Obendorf, Tom and others. These boys placed among the ten top scorers in the county. Baron, Weicht and Lung turned in fine per- formances. Butler proved its worth by winning the county cham- pionship, then beat- ing two adjacent champions - Leo and Fremont.

Victories over Howe and Con- cordia were followed by losses in two dual meets, Garrett and Kendallville and a triangular meet with St. Joe and Auburn. Then in a quadrangular meet with St. Joe, Spencerville and Hamilton the boys bounded back with a highest score of the season. This was then followed by ai narrow win over Fremont, who retaliated by winning the Corner Conference meet over us by the margin of three points. Butler won the sprint medley in the Goshen relays. Harold Carr, Buck Keesler, Gene Bellamy and Loren Beard constituted our team. The Kokomo relays found Buck Keesler placing fifth in the low hurdles and ,lim Harter tying for fourth and fifth places in the pole vault. The one real dull spot in the season was the fact that for the first time in years we had no entrants in the state meet. Jim Harter set a new conference record in the pole vault at 10 feet four inches. Loren Beard set a school record in the high hurdles of 17 seconds. Buck Keesler lowered the school record in low hurdles to 21.8 sec.
