A picnic group at Pokagon State Park who are eagerly waiting for chow. Little Events A lot of interesting events and ac- tivities happen during the school year and in our summer vacation. Baseball games area big hit in the summer. Lot of people are there cheering and showing their loyalty to the team. A baseball game would not be complete without a conces- sion stand for the hungry and thirsty fans. At a Senior Class Play usher - ettes are needed to seat people in their proper places. When you step inside the gymnasium door you see attractive usherettes in their color- ful for mals. At the end of the school year comes the time when the en- tire high school becomes anxious for the picnic at Pokagon State Park. Everyone enjoys picnics for fun and eats .

The Senior paper drive is just one of the projects on which all work hard. Hal- loween Festival would not be com- plete without the raffle ticket booth sponsored by the Juniors. Many nice prizes are raffled off. Summer time is the time for ice cream socials. In the hot weather ice cream is a refreshener along with all of the other food served. Then it is play time.

As We Relax Relaxation and learning goes hand and hand. It is often hard to learn how to relax but after the battle is won, learning and playing will become easier. Being relaxed plays a big part right here in school. In order to receive the knowledge that is being put across you must be relaxed to a certain ex- tent. There are parties, concerts, ball games, and picnics held by our school every year . We all enjoy these extra curricular activities but find it necessary to relax to do so. There isn ' t any standard way of how to relax but after it is accorn- plishedyou will learn how to study and enjoy life more fully. Max Hoffer, Dick Bacon, Don Herrick, Richard Campbell, Johnny Meeks, and Bob Rains form a perfect pyramid. Compliments of FEDERAL FERTILIZER SALES CORPORATION, Butler. a jf .V„ Batter up!

The pictures on these two pages of Fun and Fancy go from one extreme to another, and even give you the glimpse of a normal day. In the freshman year here was the thrill of joining clubs and being initiated. Then there was always the first picnic at Pokagon. Walk, run, jump, hop, and skip until finally they were too tired for anything but wading. Then there was the day when the clas s rings were ordered. When finally they came, muffled ohs and ahs could be heard issuing from the classrooms . And in the halls, squeals of delight pierced the ears . Next came Junior Play practice.. What a job, but it was worth it. Practice makes perfect , was heard several times during each rehearsal. Those who thought up the between acts skits worked just as hard as the cast. Spring ! And with it came the annual band concert and Tri-Hi-Y, Hi-Yprom. Two of the biggest events of the year. Compliments of LUNDY ' S DAIRY, Edgerton, Ohio.

The pictures on this page show some of the highlights of that prom. No matter what type of evening it is, refreshments are in order. And, as we see, the girls at the table seem to be enjoying cake and punch before they start eating it. Seeing the queen and her court, and looking at the decorations, one can see what a wonderful time was had. It was truly ' one magic night 1 .

In the pictures on this page you see two of the projects that were in operation. Some of the others were baseball toss, dart throw, cake walk, and raffle. The highlight of the every Hallo- ween Festival is the crowning of Cin- derella and Prince Charming, who were Sonya Alexander and Don Her- rick. The Classes (7th thru 12th) choose two candidates, a boy and a girl, each. From these the two who have the most votes by 9:30 Halloween night are the winners.

Earl Shultz To Grease Paint A play is one of the biggest events that takes place in our school year. To put on a play, takes lots of work, practice, and cooperation of the en- tire class and director. In the Junior year the class chose the play Tattle- tale. There are many things that have to be done in putting on a play. First the director has the hard time choos- ing the cast. Tattletale is a story of a normal family which involved a group of teenagers. Patty Blaine who was interested in becoming a writer, had her boy friend Tod get her a typewriter . Although she did not know that the typewriter be- longed to the principal. Patty had writ- ten her novel but she did not want the people to know who wrote the novel, so she had her girl friend take her novel to be published. But by mistake Patty gave her girl friend her diary instead of her novel. This created a lot of trouble, but things turned out all right at the end. The play which was a success was enjoyed by all. Gay Keesler, Judy Snyder, Nancy Lung and Cydney Jones behind the scenes as they make the famed Ermintrude. Carolyn Woodcock, Walter Shultz, Karen Billings, EarlShultz, Howard Krontz, Miss Macklin, Theron Snyder, Janis Bacon, Ron Herrick, Gay Keesler, Joe Albertson.

Wheezer (The - ron Snyder) looks around the room for a place to put the baby. Windy (Earl Shultz) does not offer to help his poor friend. A Two Night Stand When serious minded ado- lescents took their parents in hand for a reform job, there were surprising results. The Woods were absorbed in relief drives, club meetings, political campaigns , golf , and his life ' s profession as a lawyer. Con- cerned about having only left- over attention the youngsters rebel. They, and their chums form aSociety for the Preven- tion of Adult Delinquency. First they transformed the living room into an adolescent hangout. Next the youngsters wrote letters of resignations to the various clubs signing their parents ' names . Flowers and letters of consolation ar- rive and complications galore arose. Friends and relations can see both sides clearly and inject some common sense into the situation. It ' s not a complete victory for either, but the seeds of tol- erance and understanding have been sown. Compliments of JENNING ' S COUNTRY STORE, Hamilton, and KNISELY MEN ' S STORE, Butler.

Everyone troops down to the gym for any number of types of entertainment, pep sessions, movies, and talks by Mr. Lowe. Some of the convos for this school year were interesting as well as ed- ucational. For instance, Marjorie Brade gave us the highlights of her European trip. The Indiana and Mich- igan Electric Company gave a safety demonstration. There were the month- ly News Magazine movies which are always interesting. Then there are the ministers whose talks are inspiring and helpful. At Christmas the M.Y.F. put on a play about the birth of the Christ child. The Armistice Day program featured the color guard and the High School Band playing a few selections. No school year would be right with- out programs featuring such artists as Frederic Sjobeart, noted pianist, and the Royal Scotts, dancers and singers. Of course there are the big mo- ments, such as the presentation of the band and the basketball trophies. The seniors ' big day comes when the awards are presented and espe- cially on Senior Day when they are allowed to really let loose and have fun with the teachers and each other. Bruce Hathaway presenting the Band Trophy to Mr. Gnagy. This trophy is exactly like the one the band won for their first place rating at Marching Contest.

At the end of the four years the grades are checked, and the tow students with the highest grades are chosen valedictorian and salutatorian. Throughout their four years of high school, Arlene Overholtz and John King have shown outstanding qualities. Both have held offices in the class as well as other school or- ganizations. The senior class is proud to ac- knowledge you, Arlene Overholtz as Valedictorian and John King as Sa- lutatorian. From Honors . . .

To Fads And Fashions Everywhere you go, class- rooms, lunchroom, or hall, you see all sorts of fads and fashions. These fads even extend to the basketball game where the varsity boys can be seen sporting real keen green ' n gold trousers. When the Mighty Mills start warm- ing up they use a green ' n gold ball. Real George. Slick is the chick who can to seen in nylons and flat dress shoes. Bucks , oxfords , andloafers can also be seen. It seems the gals need purses to keep their numer- ous (mostly useless) articles in. Some of the purses they carry are real gone. Of course there ' s always novelty jewelry and keen new styles. Don ' t underestimate them. Familiar articles to all the girls. Everything from Army surplus bullet boxes to clutch bags. A cross section of just a few of the different types of shoes worn by the stu- dents .... bucks, saddles, loafers, and oxfords.

Someday they might grow up and develop a thirst for chemistry as Keith Keltner and DeWayne Likes seem to have. Perhaps they may follow in the footsteps of Ralph Lint, Stanley Shaffer, and Bob Robinette as carpenters. Or some may be the literary brains such as Karen Billings, Bruce Hathaway, and Judy Snyder, who are part of the Record -Herald school newspaper staff. Within Our Walls Are Equal Compliments of UNDERHILL ' S MARKET, Butler. 22 Joan Lowe and Steve Harts puzzle over a geometry problem while Brian Krontz looks on.

Compliments of HAROLD ' S STORE, Butler. 23 s h Doug Higley, Carolyn Getts.and Ronald Ault study Span- ish while upstairs June Miller interests Max Hoffer and George King as she gives a book report in Junior English class. The thirst for knowledge continues from the first thru the twelfth grade -- it never stops. Some people may choose to work as teachers, some as secretaries or car- penters. Others may choose a career such as journalism, law, scientific and biological chemistry. Still others will want to be mathematicians, some may choose to work with languages , and some will skill themselves in the art of house - making. Each person will choose the career in which he can do best. Each person will train himself as best as he can. Butler Schools offer many opportunities that give one a basic on which to make a living, or preparation for further training. The Thirst For Knowledge Continues DarwinClear, Chuck Vose, andConnie McDonald are kept busy in biology lab while Dwight Sholl, James Huff, and Richard Trobaugh study their text books in agriculture class.

The Student Council of Butler High School is a comparatively recent or- ganization. It is composed of one boy and one girl from each of the classes, the principal, and two teachers . There is also a reporter elected from each class . The purpose of the Student Council is to present the students ' view points to the faculty and to help formulate some of the school policies. The selection of monitors was one of the first items of business . Eight- een monitors and alternates were chosen, three for each period. The procedure for forming a school policy is as follows : A meeting is held in which the problem is presented and discussed. The problem is not acted upon at this meeting but held over to the next. This gives the members time to discuss the matter with the students, for ming their opinion on the subject. At the next meeting the Coun- cil takes action and a definite policy is formulated.

Although there were knees knocking during inspection, every one stood steady. For the next eight minutes the members of the march- ing band really picked them up and laid them down. The flag scene made with color- ful band flares, spotlights on Uncle Sam and Miss Liberty, and the band ' s playing of God Bless America brought a fine round of applause.

The finish of another season came for the Windmills when they were defeated by the Fremont Eagles in the semi-final round of the sectional. Butler drew Or- land in the first round, defeating them by a score of 69 to 60. Ashley was dropped on the second night with the Windmills scoring 64 points to their 58. For the County Championship, Butler washostto Ashley, Waterloo, and River- dale. After defeating Waterloo for the second time in the season the Windmills played Ashley for the championship. The boys were well rewarded as could be seen by the look of pleasure on each face as they cut down the nets. Butler met Riverdale in the first game on their own floor for a victory of 71 to 38. Battling all the way, the ' Mills faced their first loss to New Haven by a margin of one point (56-57). A thrilling victory was won over Wa- terloo in an overtime game in their gymnasium in the last game before tour- ney time. Although the boys were somewhat handicapped in size, this was overcome by their speed, scrap, and spirit. George King, DeVeir Weicht, and John Durst from the second team saw some action on the varsity squad toward the end of the season. It was a great season which came to a close for the niqe seniors, Bruce Hath- away, John King, Keith Nichols, Ron Herrick, Don Herrick, Wayne Burdick, Earl Shultz, Walter Shultz, and De Wayne Likes, manager.

They are: Cath- erine Smith, Secretary; Dal Winn, Member; Frank Koresmeyer, Treasurer; Leighton Tombow, Member; Keith Culler, President. Ernest teller, Superintendent (not shown) is an ex-officio member of the school board. On These People We proudly salute our schoolboard , for without them our school would have fewer advantages. The schoolboard is a typical form of government of many of the institu- tions in the United States, such as churches, hospitals, and commercial organizations . The members of the schoolboard represent the people who own and support the school. They form the grass roots of an organization which is closer to the people than any other form of government. They spend the local taxpayer ' s money and are re- sponsible to their neighbors for the action. They are trustees of a great public responsibility. All teachers are recommended by the Superintendent to the board. They then have to okay them. The board discusses any problems concerning the school and is responsible for all school policies . The board holds their regular meeting on the third Monday of each month at 7:30 P.M. in the Superinten- dent ' s office. Mr. Tombow, newly elected mayor, resigned from his post on the school board because of a ruling that no one person may hold two public offices. The Circuit Court Judge appointed his successor, Wendell W. Cooper, who will serve the rest of Mayor Tom- bow ' s term. Ordinarily all offices on our school board are filled by election.
