Stone Principal Central has again been guided through another successful school year. There is little need to introduce our superintendent to you. You all know him not only by his ability to tell jokes but his helpful words around school. Mr. Moore graduated from Manchester College with an A. B. degree and from Indiana U. with an M. S. degree. “Best things come in small packages.” We introduce our new principal, Mr. Stone, who has served us most successfully this year. Mr. Stone came to us last year as mathematics teacher after serving three years in the Navy. He graduated from Manchester College with an A. B. degree and Indiana University with an M. S. degree in Education. We have a very able and successful school board consisting of A. I. Ur-schel, President; Clyde Eckhart, Secretary; and T. M. Wetzel, Treasurer. Their duties are very essential and extensive. School Board T. M. Wetzel A. I. Urschel C. Eckhart O. Moore Faculty C. W. BAGWELL A. B. Manchester College A. M.

West Vice-President, Mary Alice Bagwell Secretary-Treasurer, Janet Wright Sponsors, Mr. Moore and Mr. Stone Bashfully and wistfully we approached our last year here at Central. Just think, no more overcrowded study periods in which to blame our misdemeanors on seventh graders, no more blue slips or “B’s” in citizenship, not even a chance to tread on Mr. Moore’s green carpet. Down through the years we’ll probably be remembered as the most inquisitive class at Central. We even started our statements with a question. “Hey! Where are we going on our senior trip? was a favorite — Look where it got us. New York City! Oh, what sights, and oh, what stiff necks! The November class party took place in February — successfully. Cen-Hi-Sun was published bi-weekly as was normal, but what went on in “pub” room sometimes was subnormal. Jr.-Sr. banquet. Senior play. Do you think we will miss it all? Sure we will, for here we have spent the best years of our lives.

Most of the fellows have participated in sports, three having made the sectional basketball team. Many girls are members of G. A. A. The three yell leaders are from the class. Many are in the music groups and two participated in Latin contests and one in Math. We had one party at school.

Maybe we were some scared but mostly excited, and now we are in full swing. No longer class us as “green freshies” for our spirits are high and we have liked very much our first year in high school.

We all enjoyed it and it initiated our last year of Jr. High School. How we loved to put that important look on our faces as we kindly guided a bewildered seventh grader to his class. Central was old stuff to us now. Inset — Jacqueline Gill, President; Sharon McFarland, Secretary-Treasurer; Jerry Maloy, Vice-President Diann Baker, Harold Barton Lois Ann Bickel, D.

In the regular season games the Men of Troy won 10 and lost 7. In the New Year’s Day Tourney the Trojans defeated Laketon, but were beaten by Chester. In the sectional Tourney the Trojans were beaten by the Ro-ann Indians 38-39. The second team finished up the season with a wonderful record. The reserves were defeated only twice in seventeen games, losing once to Chester and once to Huntington Catholic. The defeat by Chester was made up later in the season however, the Trojans winning 35-27.

They played six games and won four which made a good record. Two of the games lost were lost to the same school, Akron. It was a better than average season and they have all rights to be proud. The seventh and eighth grade basketball team played twelve games in all; they won five and lost seven. This did not make as good an average as the softball team made, but when it is seen that three of the games were lost by a one-point margin, the record looks better. Two of the games were lost to Wabash. The fellows say there is going to be a different story next year, for they intend to make Wabash the loser in two games. The freshmen came out even in their basketball season by winning five games and losing five. They, too, lost two games to Wabash. They are looking for-wark to taking these defeats out on the Wabash high school teams next year, for most of the boys will be right in there pitching on our high school teams. Coach John Dierdorf is mighty proud of these junior high school groups. He has pointed out that the groups displayed good sportsmanship and maintained a fine school spirit throughout the season. There is no finer ideal in sports. Jr. High Teams Back Row (L. to R.)—J. Snyder, D. Boyer, W. Burr, P. Hodge, W. Walrod, G. Sturdevant, Mr. J. Dierdorf Front Row (L to R.)—B. Gruwell, R. Rice, B. Grossnickle, J. Maloy, R. McClure, M. Kindy Yell Leaders This year’s yell leaders proved that size is not the main factor in the ability of leading yells. Three diminutive little misses from the sophomore class, Helen Clare Willis, Coleen Miller and Doris Eg-olf, have led the Central yelling section through many exciting and thrilling games. Our girls have shown and proved that sportsmanship is not just an attribute to the masculine side of the basketball game. Their smiling faces encouraged many depressed fans back to yelling and urging the team on toward victory. Sometimes there was not a victory as far as the score board would allow, but there had been a victorious spirit promoted by a cheering section fully behind a team that was fighting the best they knew how to win. As long as the ideal is maintained, it is not so important who gets the highest score. Of course we had a good share of success during the season, so we did not have to be satisfied with upholding ideals alone. One thing that Helen Claire, Coleen, and Doris did to insure that they had the attention of everyone was to include quite a number of acrobatic stunts in their yelling routine. Where do they get the pep! ! ! All in all, our little trio had a successful year. May they lead us again! Back Row—(L to R.) — S. Schmedel, J. Brookins, H. Marks, D. Tyner, D. West, D.

Brookins, L. Kindy, J. Pinney, L. Urschel Softball The 1947 softball team didn’t have as good a season as last year’s, but we are just as proud. We won from every school we played except one. The rub is that this one school beat us once during the season and once at a very important time. This was the final game in the tournament. As can be guessed, the defeat came at the hands of Chester. We are really proud of the boys in the photograph. We are very proud of our coach and the good teams he has produced here at Central High School, not only in softball, but in everything he does. With the help of such a good coach and the spirit of our school, we are looking forward to many more and better seasons of softball competition.

A. under the direction of Mrs. Brembeck has been active for three years. It was begun under the leadership of Miss Ruth Hau in 1946. The G. A. A. is an all-girl activity for high school girls. This organization is to develop leadership, sportsmanship, better cooperation among girls and a better school spirit. It meets each Thursday evening after school from 4:00 to 5:00. Each girl may have three unexcused absences. There are about twenty-six girls in this organization. They have partaken in the following sports this year: swimming, ring toss, bowling, volleyball, basketball and softball. There was to be a volleyball tournament at Huntington on December 17, but due to icy roads it was postponed. For participating in G. A. A., awards are given every year to each girl. For her first year she is given a bar; for her second year she is given a numeral; for her third year she receives a four-inch letter; and for her fourth year she receives a gold oval with G. A. A. on it. Next year a fund is being planned to make it possible to give sweaters to the girls for the fourth year. Dues for each year are 50 cents.

The labors of Hercules were made insignificant by the tasks which confronted the staff in publishing this En-Em. Led by Mary Phyllis Smith, editor; Carolyn Warner, assistant editor; Joe Partridge, business manager; and Lowell Coats, advisor—they “came, saw, and conquered.” As you have noticed by now, your yearbook is printed. This very fact was a principal reason for reluctance before we determined to undertake this grave responsibility. As was anticipated, it was a hard struggle, but we finally made it. You may judge the results. To accomplish this feat, we divided into committees, such as photography led by Bob Neher; sales promotion, Janet Wright; finance, Shirley Conkling; activities, Nancy Urschel; sports, Bill McKee; art, Phyllis Kramer. Through their chairmanship and the excellent cooperation on the part of every member, we present to you this yearbook. It’s yours. Staff—Back Row, (L. to R.)—K. Thoss, J. Partridge, G. Spehn, H.

As the name implies, it is a combination of Central High School, Hi-Y, and Sunshine. This title was originally adopted since it was edited for two weeks by the H-Y Club and the next two weeks by the Sunshine Society. In later years a regular staff was established and the paper has been printed bi-weekly ever since. From 1945 the writing staff has been composed of the seniors enrolled in senior English classes with guest articles by all the student body being published as special features. Cen-Hi-Sun was published this year under the able guidance of Martha Dunlavy, editor; Scott Schmedel, assistant editor; Robert Weimer, business manager, and Miss Gletha Mae Noffsinger, supervisor. The paper is partially supported by proceeds from after-game dances, and wimpy, hot dog, and coke sales. Our paper, with a circulation of 280 copies, is one of the truly fine high school newspapers in Indiana. May the future staffs keep it so.

Of this group only seven are seniors. Since the group is made up mostly of underclassmen, the prospects for the future are most promising. Any member ambitious enough may work for a band letter. Eight thousand points is the goal set by Mr. Miller and Mary Jane Ballenger, president of the band. Other officers are Bob Weimer, vice-president, and Donna Amberg who is secretary-treasurer of the group. Our first appearance this year was at the Fall Music Festival which was held here at school. Stage settings and some of the musical numbers gave this performance a Latin American air. Prof. Paul Halladay, tenor, was guest soloist on the program. Back Row, (L to R.)—M. Ballenger, J.

A heavy rainstorm cut the attendance for our winter concert considerably. Nevertheless we did our best to please our faithful public. A feature on this program was the appearance of the clarinet quartet which had been chosen by a disinterested jury. Our group joined the other bands in the county for the Wabash County Band Festival. This was a massed band of 360 members. Needless to say, we enjoyed getting to play in the new Honeywell Memorial Auditorium. The first contest this year was the solo and ensemble contest which was held in Fort Wayne. Several of our members proudly came home with superior ratings. The next contest in which we participated was the district band, orchestra, and choral contest at Hartford City. We won superior rating there and the right to compete in the state contest held here at our own school. We rated excellent in this final contest. Orchestra Orchestra is an extra curricular subject and thus meets at 7:30 A. M., a most unholy hour for people who part with a nice, warm bed with great reluctance. “Sleeping Beauty,” by Tschaikowsky was considered for a long time as a fitting theme song, but after seeing the various expressions worn by these early risers all winter, the director gave up the idea. They were not completely asleep—and far from being beautiful. Full orchestra meets on Tuesday and Friday mornings, while a string orchestra practices on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Membership includes students from the seventh through the twelfth grades. Officers for the year were Carolyn Warner, President; Elaine Smith, Vice-President; and Mary Alice Bagwell, Secretary and Treasurer. Back Row, (L. to R.)—M. J. Ballenger. L. McClure, C. Warner, D.

With these familiar words, “Now people, let’s get down to business,” the chorus has accomplished many things during the past school year. A number of these were the Fall Music Festival, the winter concert, the program at Warsaw, the participation in the services at the Walnut Street Church and the Lutheran Church..In the spring the group sang in the County Chorus Festival at Wabash, and the last achievement was furnishing the musical setting for the Baccalaureate Service. During the spring our chorus traveled to Warsaw to give a program for the student body. On the program were many popular numbers. Among them were “Falling in Love with Love” and “I’ll See You Again.” This concert was later returned by Warsaw when they gave a program here. An outstanding attraction of Warsaw’s concert here was the lighting effects. A tornado was raging in the vicinity and the electric supply came on and off at irregular intervals. Chorus members consisted of any high school boy who wished to join and a proportionate number of junior and senior girls. This system of limitation was new this year. Glee Clubs “Ah, sweet music fills the air,” and sweet it was, sung by the Cecilian Choir composed of Junior and Senior girls. The glee club participated in many musical activities, such as the fall festival, the Warsaw program, chapel programs, the'services at the First Brethren Church, the county chorus and the Baccalaureate service. Their work was appreciated by all. The Melody Maids are composed of twenty-four freshman and sophomore girls. They have done fine work this past school year and they have also participated in chapel programs, the fall festival, and the county chorus. I’m sure the whole school has enjoyed the contributions of the groups. Melody Maids Back Row, (L. to R.) — L. Lambert, B. Penrod, B. Slouder, P. Marvin, V Mote, N. Foltz, N. Watson M. Rice, P.

Junior Town Meeting The junior Town Meeting of the Air was broadcast from the Central High School auditorium on October 15, 1947. This broadcast was sponsored by radio station WOWO, Fort Wayne. The broadcast was first recorded here at Central on Wednesday afternoon, then on Saturday the recording was played at the regular Junior Town Meeting hour. For this broadcast, the subject “Race Relations” was discussed by Mary Alice Bagwell, senior, and Georgianna Willcox, junior, and their guests from Columbia City High School. After the students from the two schools had presented their prepared speeches, an open question forum was held in which students from both schools participated. The director of the program from WOWO and the announcer were monitors for the discussion. Participants in the broadcast were chosen from a group of students who had prepared speeches and presented them before an impartial judge. The two winners were coached in presenting their speeches by teachers in the English department. Junior Town Meeting of the Air has become a tradition at Central High School. Debate The Central debate team finished its season on March 27, 1948, by tieing for second place with Shortridge of Indianapolis and Wiley of Terre Haute in the State Debate tournament. The Central teams, consisting of Mary Phyllis Smith and Joe Partridge, affirmative, and Nancy Urschel and Robert Weimer, negative, were further honored by having two of their team members, Robert and Mary Phyllis, chosen for the All-State Debate Team. The teams had a very successful season with the affirmative carrying the record of ten wins and six losses, and the negative with twelve wins and three losses and one tie. Miss Noffsinger has worked hard with this team and it is through her and her able assistant, Wayne Miller, that the team has done so well. Tuesday and Thursday evenings were their evenings to work on and practice their debates. Many long hours were spent this way. The teams found that their long hours were not spent in vain, however, as their record attests. Most of the time they worked without much recognition from the student body, but Central is very proud of its debaters. Left, Mary Phyllis Smith and standing, Joe Partridge make up our Affirmative team. Right, Bob Weimer and Nancy Urschel make up our Negative team. Back Row, (L. to R.)—C. Warner, V. Mote, C.

Treasurer Georgianna Willcox, Vice-Pres. Margaret Thoss, Rec. Secretary SPONSORS Gletha Mae Noffsinger Mrs. Maxine Brembeck “Poets dream of a girl with her hair of gold, but I sing of a girl with a heart of gold.” Sixty-one girls have joined the Sunshine Society with this phrase in mind. This year the sale of wimpies was used as the means of raising funds for the Society. The Society also put on a Riley program. The proceeds were sent to the Riley Hospital in Indianapolis to aid polio inflicted victims. In January the girls entertained the fellows with a delicious chili supper. That was enjoyed by all. The girls finished their season’s activities with a Father-Daughter Banquet held in March and a Mother-Daughter Tea held in May. Back Row, L. to R.—R. Brooks, G. Foltz, J. Brookins, F. Ryan, D.

The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to “create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” The motto, is “Clean speech, clean scholarship, clean sport and clean living.” The North Manchester Club was organized in 1923 and reorganized in 1944. There are now forty members in the Hi-Y Club. Each year the Hi-Y holds two main events, the hay ride which comes in the fall and the banquet that is held in the spring. The hayride was held in October and the program took place in Leffel’s woods. This year the Best-Girl Banquet was held on April 24, at Beaver Dam.

JUNIOR III-Y The Junior Hi-Y is composed of sixty-two seventh, eighth, and ninth grade boys and it meets once a month. Our sponsors are Mr. Dierdorf and Mr. L. Freed, and the officers for the year have been Donald Brookins, president; Phil Hodge, vice-president; Bob Grossnickle, secretary-treasurer and Larry Metzger, sergeant-at-arms. The Junior Hi-Y has no definite purpose, but we have had several speakers. Mr. Dierdorf spoke twice telling us about his army life both at home and overseas. At two meetings in the Christmas season we sang carols under Mr. Miller’s direction. Rev. G. Jones spoke to us about “Always Blaming Joe.” Fritz Olinger and “Mac” have talked to us about basketball. At the last meeting we elected next year’s officers. SUNBEAMS The Sunbeam Organization, the sister society to the Sunshine, was organized in 1933. Since then we have had an active society and have made proud accomplishments. Last fall initiation was held for 24 seventh grade girls. The officers elected for the year were Marjorie Bright, president; Sandra Ambridge, vice-president; Lois Wendell, treasurer; and Barbara Smith, secretary. Miss Dingle was sponsor. Two high lights of the year were the Christmas party and the traditional Mothers’ Tea. Each month had a special topic for a program. We obtain our operating money from the sale of holly wreaths which are sold each year at Christmas time. Now that another school year has come to an end, we are making plans for another year of activity. Senior !ylay LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR “Love Your Neighbor,” a gay whirl of mad confusion, was presented by the senior class of 1947, last May 9. The plot involved an eternal triangle consisting of the lovely Tessy, her rich Chicagoan, Oswald, and ex-marine, Johnny. When these three plus Tessy’s delightful family, Oswald’s snobish relatives, and Johnny’s gentle mother got together, smoke, bees, and fists flew; Needless to say, the marine landed and mission was accomplished much to the joy and hopes of the audience. The cast included: Beverly Sheller, John Stauffer, Bob Ziegler, Merritt Kintner, Carole Shultz, Carl Shultz, Joanne Kindy, Bonnie Johnson, Donald Jefferson, Barbara Stone, Loren Karns, Betty Sherburn, Marion Swing, Betty Guthrie, Jack Sheak, Gene Burr, Suzanne Abell, Joan Benefiel, and Alice Mae Priser. The play was under the direction of Gletha Mae Noffsinger, Lowell Coats, and Mrs. Paul Brembeck. Background — Betty Sherburne, Joan Kindy.

Willcox Twirlers Two years ago Central didn’t have any twirlers. By much practice and fortitude three girls out of seven made a success of it. They are Doris Egolf, sophomore; Betty Amberg, junior; and Mary Phyllis Smith, senior. They have twirled at the park, for basketball games, and as an entertainment for various organizations, Mary Phyllis Smith has been teaching classes of younger twirlers. Central is indeed proud of these three girls who with their brilliant exhibitions have made each a function at which they have performed a highlight of success. The class of twirlers in the lower picture has been taught by Mary Phyllis Smith. The group is made up of both beginning and intermediate twirlers. The beginners start their twirling lessons in the summer. Their first task is to learn the rudimentary spins and figures. After a summer of training they are capable of performing many of the spins and figures. The group graduates into the intermediate class after a year of training. The combined group has performed at some of the home basketball games.

Its development within a single lifetime has been a modern miracle. Yet it is only the beginning. There are any number of men and women in the telephone business today—some just starting out —who will see greater progress than the past has ever known. Year by year the next half century will be increasingly theirs. New leaders will appear from among them. Step by step, rung by rung, they will mount the ladder to the top. For telephone management is employee management and comes up from the ranks. There will be more good jobs in the telephone business in 1958 and 1998 than now. It just can’t help being that way. For of all the trades professions there are few more interesting and necessary. So the future is bright for those who work for the telephone company, for those who use the telephone and for those who have faith in its growth and development. “The best is yet to be.” Northern Indiana Telephone Company THE Warner Brooder and Applianee Corporation North Manchester, Indiana Manufacturers of Complete Line of Poultry Equipment WARNER ELECTRIC BROODERS and PREMIER FEEDERS and FOUNTAINS Compliments of WAYNE’S Compliments GRILL of BURNS Cgngratulations Class of '48 BAKERY Bring Your Car to STANDARD For Personalized Service WES TALER’S STANDARD SERVICE H.
