Iffllllllllf 5-' 1 x I SI V 1 I Butler High School is our world. Our involvement with the people, places, and events in it is part of our growing up process. Our thoughts wander from physics homework to pizza dates, record hops, Ivy League fashions, rock 'n roll, slumber parties, and basketball games. These big and small events are important to LIS, but we realize that outside events affect us, too. Col- leges are filled to overflowlngg prices are at an all time high. The sputniks and rockets have opened a whole new world. To learn the ways to this new worldwe study the mechanical characteristics of our surroundings in physics, how higher mathematics are applied to our everyday living, and the way nations were discovered and developed. Welearn what vocations we are best suited for, an appreciation of music and art, the inner-workings of today's business, and the correct usage of our language. Along with these and our many extra-curricular activities we keep the school jammed for over eight hours a day This is our world - a teen-age world filled with our activities, our sports, and our friends Around Gur World of Activities. . . . .24 of Sports .... . . .44 with Friends. . . . . .58 f ff as Q5 Busy teenagers take advantage of hurried locker V-i-c-t-o-r-y!

And so. . .life at Butler High revolves around the students. Butlerites were busy in 1958. We found it hard to find time to study, time for dates, time for meals, and time for sleep. The snappy marching band came back from state marching contest with their first sweepstakes award, and FFA boys won top honors in judging contests. Butler track stars went to the state cross country meet, our rags to riches basketball team fought their way through an exciting season, and the varsity boys got new uniforms. Meet Me In St. Louis and Girl Shy drew capacity crowds. Seniors made an unprecedented profit at the Halloween Carnival, and struggled stubbornly for privileges. Juniors successfully operated the concession stand, and new students were initiated into our way of life. Yes, it's a great world-BHS, 1958, Dig those crazy bermudas! Rog Walters and Gary Culler are helping reluctant Kay Bacon pose for us at the annual spring picnic. Aren't you cold girls?

Juniors use varied sales teclmiques convenient place to wait for their classmates. to make their concession stand a success. ,gig 5 Tri-Hi-Y and Hi- Y members: Dennis Strock, Sharon Pierce, and Caro- lyn Jinnings, serve the school by dec- orating the Christ- mas tree in the main hall. Each class works hard through their four years at Butler High School to finance their Senior Trip. To reach this goal, each class is spon- sored by two faculty members that have the responsibility of putting the wheels of the class in motion. As the class progresses, they are given more and better projects. The first task the class undertakes is the Freshman ice- cream social. The Sophomores learn to man- age the coat check at ballgames. The con- cessions, magazine sales, and the Junior Play boost the Junior's treasury. Seniors use knowl edge gained from previous years to make a success of their paper drive, chilli suppers, and the Senior Play. All of the classes and activities profit from the annual Halloween Festival. Along with making money, students learn business methods and gain poise and self- confidence from their experiences. Through their teamwork as a class, they serve the school and the community. Man alive! ! Freshmen may be small, but they can really make a success of the spring ice- cream social, their first class project. Fresh- men: Dwanna Miller, Marlene Kessler, Jerry Wilson, and Bobby Miller take time out for some of that delicious homemade ice-cream. Good Morning, the Juniors are having their annual magazine sale. This is a list of the top magazines we're selling. Julie Smith and Ron Ault are testing their sales techniques on Bob Nelson. Julie sold the most magazines in the class campaign, and Ron was the runner-up. Another Saturday, another paper drive. Sen- iors: Kay Bacon, Jim Husted, and Dennis Strock find that paper drives can be more fun than work. These drives are held approx- imately once a month, and the class works as a team from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. to eam money for their senior trip. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Students at BHS have parties, dances, picnics, carnivals, initations, and informal get -togethers to round out their academic program. 1958 began with the usual round of pizza and slumber parties. Parents vanished, kids described their latest dates with lan- guage like flush-em, sharp, and banana, and record players gave out the sounds of the newest rock'n'rol1 hits. Butlerites began to compare the newest fashions - Ivy league was the thing ! ! Sharp gals and fellas sported bright crew necks with plaid skirts or pants with the buckle in the back. November 15th - the Homecoming Game - arrived, and eleven pretty girls and their escorts paraded before a ca- pacity crowd at the Butler vs Waterloo basketball game. Rosalie Farmer was crowned Homecoming Queen, and Diana Weicht and Gloria Lung were her attendants. Spring again and off to the picnic! Early in the morning, 360 students jammed into school buses and started for Poka- gon State Park. After eating, hiking, playing baseball, foot- ball, volleyball, and perhaps, swimming, a tired group of students returned to Butler. Gary Culler, Hi-Y President, is leading But1er's first Homecoming Queen, Rosalie Farmer to her throne. ABOVE.: Julie Smith and Bob Rob- inette display their crew necks.

The 1957 edition of the Butler High School Carnival was an all out success with the Seniors reaping most of the profits. The fun started at 5:30 with a masquerade parade. Other attractions included minature golf, dump toss, funhouse, and hi-fi band. The biggest crowd pleaser was the Cinderella and Prince Charming contest. Tension and excite- ment mounted as the time approached for the announcement of the results of the contest. The crowning of Joan Lowe and Jim l-lusted, Seniors, climaxed the evening. Teenage girls transformed from dungaree dolls to breath taking visions in frothy spring formals danced with the men of their choice at the Deep Purple Ball. The dance, sponsored by the Jtmiors and Sen- iors was held in the elementary building. Everyone in high school was invited. White, lavender, and purple crepe paper streamers circled the room, and baskets of lilacs and whole lilac trees that the students transplanted turned the room into a fairy ballroom. Victory smiles from Joan Lowe, Cinderella, and Jim I-lusted, Prince Charming, echo the thoughts of their Senior classmates.

Mrs. I-lampel, Mr. Reed, Miss Felter, Miss Marshall, and Mr. Shepherd place particular stress on accuracy and comprehension in reading, vocabulary correctness and logical arrangement in writing. They emphasize the responsibilities which freedom of speech and the press place upon speaker, writer, listener and reader. Butlerites develop ease, self-confidence, and skill in practical speech activities. We review the principles of good grammar and leam to form clear, concise, correct sentences. We develop skill in selecting and using ref- erence books, magazines,and newspapers. We find a permanent interest in good books and develop the habit of reading all printed material critically and appreciatively. Butler's Latin classes stress the elements in latin vocabulary which are contributary to the English language. Students leam to appreciate the historical and cultural significance of the , Roman civilization. They also develop habits and techniques useful in further study of any foreign language. Mr. Shepherd is using the card catalog to find an elusive book. He supervises the library, teaches typing and English, and co-sponsors the Breeze and Sophomore Class. Miss Marshall, Butler's Latin instructor, Catch those errors, kids, is the familiar cry of Miss Felter waits expectantly for an answer from to her journalism students. Jon Jones, Carolyn Getts, and one of her first year latin students. She Sharon Church are proofreading the Breeze. teaches two Latin classes each morning, and is Butler's only part-time teacher. 13 Agriculture Home Economics Industrial Arts Vocational courses are important in our high school curriculum. Classes in agri- culture, shop, and home economics are offered to all high school students. The agriculture boys, under the guidance of Mr. Sadler, plant experimental plots of corn and soybeans. They are concerned about fertilization and varieties. Along this same line they learn the better ways of livestock care.

Art students decorate merchants' windows and the cafeteria for special oc cassions, They also study crafts, ceramics, and copper tooling. The sound of three bells, stampeding feet, and chattering voices means that a convo has just been called. Butlerites were able to keep pace with the fast-moving world events as they watched the News Magazines of the Screen and other informative films. One of our educational convos was the film and lecture presented by the General Telephone Company to show us the correct procedure in using our dial phones. Little Ginger and her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Elvin Jones, inspired us by singing religious songs and playing the organ, trombone, marimba, and Xylophone. The Beecher Duo brought us from old-world songs through the early years of our cour1try's growth up to modern jazz and popular music by dancing and singing dramatically. Many of us learned to appreciate poetry through the in- fluence of Dr. George Davis from Purdue University, who read poems written by James Whitcomb Riley. 22 Convos Inspire and Inform UPPER LEFT: The Beecher Duo is pantomiming to intriguing foreign recorded music in the background.

The Student Council officers: Steve Harts, vice president, Gloria Miser, secretary-treasurer, and Roger Walters, president, are getting into the spirit of Christmas by posing in front of the decorated Christmas tree. Here is our student government, Butlerites. Here our voices and opinions are heard through our representatives elected to serve Butler High and its students. The Student Council's purpose is to present the student's viewpoints to the faculty and to help formulate new school policies. Members try to develop the interest of the students and the teachers, raise student standards, and pro- mote closer understanding between the stu- dent body and teachers. Each year the council selects the school mon- itors and the three main convocations. The Student Council must approve any new club before it can be organized in the school. Each class elects a boy and girl to represent them in the council. The organization this year was under the leadership of Roger Walters president, Mr. Reed, the council's advisor. Here is every student's opportunity to make his voice known in the government of his school, and to prepare him for his future place as a citizen. utstanding Service Leaders STUDENT COUNCIL, TOP ROW: Carolyn Hankey, Cary Laub, Ronald Houser, Marilyn Jinnings, Ricky Carol Smith, Steve Harts, Dick Johnson, Carl Surface, Wilson, Gloria Miser, Susie Smith.

The central purpose of Tri-Hi-Y is to help its members and others understand and ac- cept the principles of Christianity, and live bet- ter Christian lives. This thread should run through the entire Tri-Hi-Y program. Every fall, the Tri-Hi-Y has a formal induction for its new members. This year the beautiful candlelight service was held in the Methodist church basement. Butler's Tri-I-li-Y girls meet once a month on Wednesday night. Frequently they have joint meetings with the Hi-Y. The high spot of their winter activities was the joint Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Christmas party.

Time was short and work piled high-annual staff members were characterized by frantically try- ing to find a lost picture or an elusive word, bags under their eyes, and carrying stacks of books, layout forms, pencils, and rulers. Staff members developed a sense of responsibility and an urgency to see that work was completed in perfect detail. Their goal was to wrap a year up between hard covers to be kept For a lifetime. Butlerites heard a preview of the almost too new to be true '58 Tropaeum at their fall convo where the Little Miss Tropaeum skit Qcomplete with background musicj entertained students and teachers alike.

It is a monthly publication that keeps stu- dents and townspeople informed on the events at Butler High. This year the staff was composed of thirty members who were under the guidance of Mr. Rex Shepherd, spon- sor, and Nancy Buttermore, editor. They helped the staff members with the problems encountered in pro- ducing and selling a good paper. This year there was an increase in subscriptions in the school and com- munity.

The Language Club is an associa- tion of Latin and Spanish students who want to carry their 'interest of foreign languages beyond the class- room. The purpose of this club is to further class interest in foreign language and to discover the rela- tionship between that subject and English. The Language Club's monthly meetings are packed full of fun and excitement as members learn about various games and customs from other lands. Mrs. Betsy Maxton sponsors this organization and Glenda Wasson is the president. At Christmas the members were taught Latin Christmas carols which were used in caroling to different townspeople. By comparing Latin, Spanish, and English, the students developed a better understanding of other countries and how people in other lands live. I-low in the world do you ask a boy for a date in Latin? Leap year or not, the ambitious Language Club officers: Shannon Patee, vice presi dent,LauraLautzenhiser, secretary-treasurer, and Glenda Wasson, presi dent, are on the ball. 34 Through Arts and Language All the world's a stage and the members of Butler High School's Drama Club try to make it even more so by learning how to give speeches, plays, monologues, and skits. The Drama Club meets once a month at ac- tivity period and one evening each month. At these meetings they study different phases of dramatics, learn to present skits and read- ings effectively, and learn the correct way to apply stage make-up. The highlight of their year was attending the Civic Theater for the production Teahouse of the August Moon. They entertained the student body at their annual convocation, and one of their skits was presented at Butler's Rotary Club. They also furnished the entertainment between acts of the Senior play.

A highlight of the band's spring season is their annual spring concert where they create moods in music for people of all ages. Leading the band to victory this year are Ruth Schoonover, presidentg Rosalie Farmer, vice -presidentg Kay Bacon, secretaryg Carolyn Hankey, treasurerg and Gary Culler, drum major.

As you can tell, this is not a square group, I kid you not. The Hi-Fi Band plays everything from the present day rock'n'roll to the well known standards. If you're in the vicinity of the stage on one of their practice nights you're apt to hear a combination of songs like these: Rock Around The Clock, Basin Street Blues, and Tenderly. The band's music is all arranged by their director, G. K. Gnagy. This year the sixteen band members and three voca lists appeared on WOWO radio and WKJG television besides playing for their usual banquets, informal dances, and proms.

Under the leadership of Mrs. McNull, the new vocal department supervisor, forty-three students revealed their musical talent as they participated in the Butler High School Chorus. This year the group sang a variety of semi-classical numbers, Broadway show tunes, and Sigmund Romberg melodies. They sang at the Christmas convo and at Senior Baccalaureate. The chorus competes in the annual district contest for soloists and ensembles at Fort Wayne. If a first is won at district, the contestants are eligible to enter the state-wide contest at Indianapolis. Janet Young, Pat Klink, and Peggy Hathaway sang their way to a first at the district contest. What students besides those in BHS have an opportunity to study to music ? This is explained by the fact that Mrs. McNull teaches one of her vocal classes in the upstairs music room fourth period. The chorus entertains Butlerites where ever they are - in study halls or convos. Mrs. McNull fformerly Miss Lucina Smithl is usually found close to her trademark-a piano. She heads the vocal music department and directs both the Junior and Senior Class plays.

The deafening roar of Butler's enthusiastic rooters thunclers loudly across the gym. Butler has a strong reputation for backing her teams to the hilt. As the year rolls on we think of sports in terms of spring training, lay -ups, program statistics, pre -game warm- up, the smell of liniment, and the familiar words: . Whose towel is this? The world of sports belongs to the whole student body. Everyone from the smallest freshmen girl with nothing but spirit, to the hefty senior guard on the basketball team is an important part of sports at Butler.

The Holiday Tourney saw the unlucky five defeated in hotly contested battles by both Fremont Q10 pointsj and Angola Q2 pointsj. Weicht's 37 points led the Butler squad as the Mills easily defeated Leo. Top scores by Walter 1315, I-ligley QZOQ, and Womack QZOQ, gave Butler an easy victory over LaGrange. Failing to hit on their charity shots, Butler lost to Decatur by 3 points. In the sectional, Butler's balanced scoring mauled Flint and overpowered a determined Ashley five that had defeated Auburn. Weicht led the Butler squad as they downed Angola in the semi -finals. However, the Mills couldn't stand up against Fremont's sudden spurt in the last four minutes of the pressure-packed title game. The great performance of the Mills in the tourney made Butler fans exceedingly proud of their team. The return of four regulars from this team for the '59 season makes Butler an outstanding contender for sectional honors. Top scoring honors went to Rog Walter who averaged 14.8 points per game, and Butch Weicht who connected on 707: of his foul shots. Fol- lowing closely were Butch Weicht with a 13.7 average per game, and Doug Higley who hit 687: of his charity attempts. Youth and promises prevailed as the 1957-58 basketball season opened. Rapid development of this potential strength was evident as experienced Seniors, Butch Weicht and Walt Womack, received fine support from underclassmen, Rog Walter, Phil Cinder, Doug Highley, and Chuck Vose. Illusions of the sectional title dimmed as the Mills won only 10 of their 24 games, but the stubborn quintet surprised many by their spectacular victories in the toumey. They opened their season by losing two closely contested games with Riverdale and Edgerton. Last quarter rallies failed to save them as they lost both games by one point. Undaunted, they bounced back to defeat Angola by an 18 point margin. Excellent teamwork along with Cinder and Higley's high scoring Q17 points eachj brought the victory. New Haven slipped by Butler in the next game, and then Fremont's height defeated us by 30 points. Walters and Womack racked up 16 and 14 points respectively, as the Mills came out of their slump to win an ex- citing Albion game. ., f .1 Q 5? 5 Phil Cinder, a Junior forward adds to his total against Al- bion. Rog Walters, number 14, and John Durst, number 42, set themselves for the rebound just in case Phil's shot fails to go in. The Windmills defeated Albion 69 to 59. !

Doug I-ligley, number 20, moves into position for a possible rebound. 49 Will this one go in? wonders John Grimm, a sopho more guard on the Butler Injun's team. It did and added two more points to Butler's score. The final tally showed Butler 38 and Albion 44. tip against Albion, into position to re- Backbone of Success . . . Brian Krontz, Keith Smith, Bob Robinette, Mr. Gorrell, Jon Jones, and Mr. Reed. On to victory he will lead. He's our coach, John A. Reed, and on to vic- tory he did lead through the season up to the finals of the sectional. Mr. Reed had assistance in this success from our new assistant coach, Dick Gorrell. A group of boys who also helped to make this possible is probably the least heard of group accompanying the team, the managers. Brian Krontz, the lone Senior, Keith Smith, Bob Robinette, and Jon Jones, all Juniors, saw -to it that the balls were polished, the suits were cleaned, and the trunks were packed and ready for the game. They made sure that the team had what they needed and encouraged them to keep fighting. Donna Walter, Shannon Patee, and Patricia Getts, all three Sophomore girls, led the Booster Block in boosting the Injuns on to victory. Donna, the captain, and Shannon were second team cheerleaders last year, and Pat came up to join them this season. These girls were behind their team all the way and assisted the varsity at the sectional tourney. At the beginning of the school school year the future mem- bers of the Booster Block elected Carolyn Getts, Jane Carr, and Kay Bacon, cap- tain, to be the' varsity cheer- leaders. These three prac- ticed and faithfully worked with the cheering section to put needed enthusiasm into the air during the games. Their active leadership was shown throughout the season as they never lagged in any of their responsibilities.

Their first defeat was at the hands of New Haven, and their season's record was thirteen wins against five losses. The Injuns lost a thrill-packed game to Kendallville by a slim margin of two points which were almost regained in the last few seconds of play. The Injuns changed the luck to their favor in the following game at Elmhurst. The outcome of this game was uncertain up to the very last second when Elmhurst could have won by one point instead of losing by one The Injuns lost the big title in their four-way tourney when Huntertown rallied in the last quarter to win 43-33. Nevertheless, the Injuns came back to win the preliminary game when they defeated the Angola five by 8 points. After the Juniors, Howard Haverstock, Ralph Lint, and Howard McClish, moved up to the varsity, Dave Craig, Bill Farmer, and John Grimm were assisted by Paul Schortgen, Les Nelson, and Junior Lung. These boys are expected to be valuable players next year. 51 Losing Streak Proves Costly As the 1957-58 basketball fever hit the Freshman Freshrn-an Scores boys, ten inexperienced but hopeful candidates reported to their new coach, Mr. Dick Gorrell, WE THEY with determination to produce a fair team.

The Sophomores score again as they went on to oust the Junior noon leaguers from the final play offs in the noon league tourney. The Sophomores proved to be too hot to hold down. The Seniors and Juniors prepare to spring into ac- tion at the opening tip-off to gain possession of the ball. Each team tries to avoid coming out on the short end of the play off. noon for all basketball fans. They get together and cheer their favorite noon league team on to victory. The teams play in the gymnasium on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Monday's and Tuesday's winners play each other for the week's championship on Wednesday. The teams are very well balanced, and often there is a new champion on each Wednes- clay. There were four teams that participated in this year's noon league competition. They were the Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman teams. The teams occupy the gymnasium on the first three days of the week, but they give it up to the girls on Thursday and to the varsity on Friday. Enthusiasm in the noon league ran higher than usual this year with several of the teams sporting cheering sections. These teams show very fine sportsmanship and are to be complimented on their fine job of keeping the student body entertained during the noon hour. Varied Sports for B. H. S.

Each year membership in this group has increased until the Girl's Athletic Association is now one of the largest clubs in our school. Mrs. Marianne Buenerkemper sponsors this organization, and Gloria Jean Miser is the president. The GAA is one of the most active clubs in, Butler High. At Christmas time the group gave gifts to the Retarded Children's Home in Garrett. The club has a point system that gives each girl points for completing certain outside activities. Whenever a girl collects a certain number of points she will be awarded a medal or another valuable award. We are all proud of our 'sports-minded' girls and, we're glad to see them show as much en- thusiasm in sports as our boys. 7 Ruth Schoonover, Barbara Rosenberry, Diana Weicht, Sharon Church, Judy Easterday, Marlene Kessler, Carolyn Sholl, Sharon Van Leuven, Margaret Hatha- way, Doris Lee, Mrs. Beunerkemper, Sponsor.

Seniors are wheels - big, little, round, or square, Realizing that their high school days are almost over, they feel compelled to squeeze everything into their already busy schedule. Where there's fun, there's a Junior. This carefree group has a year of fun before taking on senior responsibilities. Sophomores are proud of being another rung higher on the educational ladder and are looking forward to the next two years as upperclassmen. Freshmen enter Butler High with fearful, but eager steps and slowly become absorbed into high school life. School Board and Administration KENT MYERS KEITH CULLER KATHLEEN SMITH PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT SECRETARY The future of more than eight hundred students lays indirectly in the hands of the school board. They are representatives of the people, and they meet once a month to formulate school policies. The superintendent is the executive officer of the board. The Butler School Board has a line and staff organization extending from the board to the superin- tendent, to the principal, and to the other members of the staff. The Butler Parent Teachers Organization co-operate5 very closely with the Butler School, and it is through them that the voice of the people is heard. The philosophy of the Butler School is to develop qualities in a student that will help him become a successful member of a democratic society. The specific objectives are the development of Qlj common learning, f2j'character, 13, citizenship, Q4j vocational skills, and QSQ an appreciation of the arts and spiritual concepts. E r DALLAS WINN WENDELL COOPER REUBEN ROWE TREASURER MEMBER MEMBER Are the Axis of Cur World In the six and one half years Mr. Zeller has been Superintendent, he has proven his' skill in han- dling any situation in an eftective manner. Mr. Zel1er's leadership has greatly contributed to the high standard of Butler Metropolitan School as an educational institution. Mr. Zeller is under the authority and represents the local board of education. l-le' is directly responsible to the board and all school employ- ees are directly responsible to him. With the rapid growth of the student body, Mr. Zeller assumes a great deal of responsibility. His areas of administrative responsibility include: organ- izing and supervising the total school program, selection and recommending personnel, purchas- ing equipment and supplies, renting buildings and using equipment by outside groups, select- ing textbooks and instructional materials, deter- mining the type of testing program, making reports to the board, defining authority in school policies and procedure, preparing the- budget, furnishing educational leadership to the faculty, and the evaluation and improvement of the total school program. Helen Houlton, Mr. Ze1ler's competent secre- tary, accurately keeps all school records. To any student at Bl-IS, it takes only one glance to ,recognize the familiar and busy figure of our principal, Mr. Jack Lowe, It's hard to believe that any one person can successfully manage all of the principal's duties and still be interested in the students themselves, but Mr. Lowe does it. Among his many responsibilities are supervising the graduation program, organizing the school curriculum and course of study, counseling, management of the student activity fund and assemblies, and athletic eligibilty. At every dance and game Mr. Lowe is present giving support and encouragement. It would seem that these duties might not leave time for close association with students and teachers, Butlerites know difterently. We see him walking down the hall with Students, talk- ing to our teachers, an integral part of the school. We know that he is always there, and that no matter how busy he is, he is still inter- ested in each of us. A friend to all, Charlotte Miller, as Mr. Lowe's secretary, is always ready to lend a helping hand and give us an encouraging word. Ernest M..

The plot surrounded Dan Tennyson, a high school genius, with so many problems that he was unable to solve them. Dan's intelligence had enabled him to surpass his classmates intellectually but had left him a social misfit. Dan wanted to get away from it all by going to college, but his parents re- fused permission until he became a social success. Dan was determined to go to college so he bagan an all out attack on his social problems. This got him into many difficulties, such as the time that he put the star athlete and the industrial tycoon into a hypnotic trance. Dan's new found social success soon convinced his parents that he was ready for college, but by this time he was having so much fun that he did not care to go. ln the meantime, his new girlfriend applied for admission to college so that she could be near him. Not knowing this, Dan intentionally flunked the same test in order to be near her, All hilarious situations must come to a happy end, and this proved no exception to the delight of the audience.

Everyone is excited about the Fair including girls and boys who are wondering what to wear, and if they will have enough money. Then Father decides to take a job in New York. That is when the fireworks start! Tootie and Agnes do everything imaginable from pulling out hair to derail- ing trolleys. Rose and Esther get in the act, because they don't want to lose their home. They add the water bombs, and that plays right into the hands of mean old Mr. Duffy. Mr. Duffy would also like to have the job in New York. He tries to set the boss, Mr. Dodge, against the Smith family with the theory that If a man can't manage his own family, he can't manage his business. Mr. Duffy almost wins out, but Mr. Dodge catches on to his coniving tricks. Mr. Smith gets his job back, the trouble gets settled, and everybody goes to the wonderful World's Fair.

We, the Tropaeum staff, would like to tell you how we feel about Butler High School, as we have grown ac- quainted with it as students. In this 59th volume of our publication, we have tried to protray our school as a world in itself. Approaching our ideas from different viewpoints, we hoped to provide for every reader parts of Butler High that are meaningful. We never lost sight of this goal, although work often piled high while time was short. Not one of the 88 pages of the 1958 Tropaeum would be possible without the individual staff members. Each and every one gave generously of himself to make this book a good one. We hope that you - the reader- will thank them by realizing the time and effort that has gone into each page. We owe our greatest thanks to Robert Sutula of Elkhart whose photographs appear throughout the book, to Principal L, E. Lowe and the high school teachers for their patience and co-operation, and to William Sadler, our advisor, for his invaluable assistance. We appreciate the support given us by the businessmen of Butler and the surrounding areas, Besides helping us financially, they have inspired us to become better citizens. Our aim has been to accurately portray the 1957-58 school year. Your enjoyment will be the finest award that can be given to the '58 staff. 1958 Tropaeum Staff Joan Lowe, Editorg Jon Jones, Assistant Editorg Dennis Strock, Business Managerg Chuck Vose, Assistant Busi- ness Managerg Sharon Pierce, Subscription Managerg Dianna Weicht, Assistant Subscription Managerg Gary Culler, Advertising Managerg Gloria Miser, Assistant Advertising Managerg General Staff, Rosalie Garmer, Ruth Schoonover, Carolyn Getts, Sam Underhill, Carolyn Jinnings, Gloria Lung, and Sheldon Schaffer.
