'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. SUTULA, Elkhart 20
