Well-remembered are the games played before the schoolhouse doorg the long trudges through the deep snow on cold Winter daysg the coats on hooks lined along the front entryg the lunch buckets stored on the shelf aboveg the crowding around the pot-bellied stove in frigid weatherg the dipping of Susie's long golden braids into the black, black inkg the hard Wooden benches at the double desksg the slates on which were written the lessons of the dayg and the spelling bees held each Friday. Witllin the four walls of the MLittle Red Schoolhousen were taught not only the Wfhree R's', but also the principles which have unified and preserved our democracy. The pages of the story of AIl1CI'iCEl7S progress are highlighted by the lives of noble men and women who acquired therein not only the rudiments of knowledge but also the tenets upon which were based their strength of character. We pay tribute to the MLittle Red Schoolhousef, the honored ancestor of the school of today. Page Three To the world of tomorrow we present the school of today, which is the modern center of learning for tomorrow's citizens. Cherished will be the memories of the varied activities within her halls-the friendships made, school dances, the Prom each spring, the auditorium programs, the athletic games, out-of-town trips to music contests, and finally the thrill of graduation. Within her spacious halls modern education is geared to meet tomorrow's needs. The edu- cational program has been expanded in keeping with the tempo and needs of the time. Of deeper significance, however, is the realization that the economic, social, and cultural principles instilled herein must send us forth so imbued with a spirit of unity and democracy that the modern school may serve the world as the Little Red Schoolhousel' served the nation. We pay tribute to the school of today, the great hope of the world of tomorrow, Page Four r w 501005 0413 566001 o'oy.g :c6oof Oeor Ola' daysj Colo' on Sponfkli HQ? 0' Bfue ono' t days M2159 I 6 60.96 and C66 efbolls I was yo lhllffrh , frolnbooes, mocblbefy. uf queen fb cofduroyg You were my favorfie sembr boy.

Franklin's Grizzly Cubs spoiled the dedicatory proceedings at the Mollie B. Hoover Athletic Field by downing the lighting Athenians, 13 to 0. The Athenians werenlt downhearted, since Franklin hadn't been defeated in two years. Shelbyville . . . Trying for their first win, Crawfordsville met the surprising Golden Bears from Shelbyville and came out on the short end of a 19 to 6 score. This game proved disastrous in more ways than one, because Bob Hoffman suffered a broken collar bone and Bob Riggs had a finger broken. Both were lost for the rest of the season. Noblesville . . . The Athenian grid machine got into high gear in the second half at Noblesville and swamped the Millers, 27 to 7. ln the second half, Jim Smith raced 70 yards and Graham 40 yards to turn the tide of the game. Tom Thompson kicked three extra points. The entire squad saw action. Wiley . . . Led by four brilliant backs, the Wiley Red Streaks rolled over our Athenians, 471 to 7. Crawfordsville's only touchdown came in the second quarter on a quarterback sneak by Houston. Thompson kicked the extra point. Sheridan . . . The Athenians met an inspired team from Sheridan and came out on the short end of a 14 to 7 score. Crawfordsville just couldn't seem to get their running attack started as a determined line constantly upset play after play. West Side . . . Crawfordsville played one of its better games at West Side. However, they couldn't stop the Red Devils' hard-running back, Friend. The score ended 6 to 0 in favor of the opponents. Kirklin . . . The Athenians won their second game of the season by thumping a definitely outelassed Kirklin eleven, 19 to 7. Tol Kennedy, Dick Lingeman, and .lim Smith scored the Athenians' touchdowns, and Thompson's extra point added the nineteenth point. The game was played in u steady downpour. Jefferson . . . .lelf started off with a bang by scoring on the second play of the game. Crawfordsville tied up the game on a pass from Jim Smith to Howard Zachary, but Jeff wouldn't be denied. The score ended Jeff 26, Crawfordsville 7.

ROBERT RUTLEDGE, who served as a corporal in the United States Army, 1946-1947, earned a di- ploma through the General Edu- cation Development test. Un a hot, sunny day early in September, the halls of Crawfordsville High School again ranff with thc sounds of laughing and talking as a new school year began. F' U This year we were the privileged Seniors who reigned among the lockers in senior hall and 203, thc senior home room. The second week of school brought with it the selection of the Athenian staff, who took charge of editing and producing the record of our school year. On crisp, cool nights, we trooped to our new Mollie B. Hoover field to sec for the first time night games at Crawfordsville High School. Along with the dedication of the new field came thc dedication of the new organ, a gift of Mrs. ldell Cleveland Bruner, in memory of her son, Philip. This will always be a cherished possession both to us who are to graduate and to those who follow. The first weeks of school also brought with them thc election of class officers. Wayne Kessler and his co-workers, Don Houston, Esther Cowan, and Bill Duke, made able officers to carry out the duties of our senior year. Late in October the Athenian sales campaign was promoted under the capable leadership of the co-business managers, Jack Phares and Collins Wallace. The girls competed with the boys in the sales, and the end of the campaign found the girls victorious. The senior who sold the most Athenians was Jack Beichard, who was awarded a turkey. ln December the basketball season and the usual round of parties and dances began. The seniors got into the holiday spirit by sponsoring the first uafter the Page Eighty-six gamei' dance. The auditorium was decorated appropriately, and we all had a wonderful time. Also in December the traditional Athenian party was held. This year it was given by the boys for the girls. A dinner preceded the festivities of the evening. The first part of the program was centered in the lunch roon1 with a Queen for a Day election. From the candidates including Dorothy Scaggs, Pat Reitemeier, Barbara Simms, and Barbara Polley, Barbara Polley was selected to reign. Besides the usual promises of a new 1948 Swifty electric stove and a trip to Hawaii, she received as material gifts a lovely string of pearls fmade of elbow macaroni strung on a wirej, and a box of a dozen red roses fmade of radishes cleverly cutl. The rest of the program was held in the auditorium. This program included a band and many side attractions. Dancing concluded the program. It was a success- ful evening and a memorable occasion. During the Christmas holidays, the New Year's Tournament was held with four teams contending for the championship title. This year, for the first time, we elected a tournament king and queen. Esther Cowan reigned as queen, and Bob Stiller reigned as king. The two attendants selected from the senior class were Barbara McKee and Collins Wallace. January and February passed with the usual round of school dances, studying, basketball games, change of semesters, the music contests held at DePauw and Terre Haute, and the beginning of the tournament season. The last after the game dance featured the annual Valentine dance sponsored by the Senior Girls' Athletic Association. This year the alumni served as co- sponsors. The King and Queen of Hearts were Esther Cowan and Don Houston. Crawfordsville held the honor of being both the sectional and regional champs this year. We were eleminated in the semi-finals, losing by a very few points. Early in April, the Junior-Senior banquet was held with Pat Reitemeier and Carter Willis, the senior speakers. The senior play, given early in May, was one of the highlights of the year. The most festive occasion of all was the Junior-Senior Prom held the latter part of May. Sunday, May 23, was the date of the Baccalaureate service held in the high school auditorium. The seniors looked solemn as they walked down the aisle wearing their robes of gold and blue. The next day was the traditional senior picnic held at Turkey Run. The Seventy-Second Annual Commencement was held on May 25. The faces of the seniors descending to receive their diplomas were even more solemn than before. Tears were seen in the eyes of some as they left the auditorium at the close of the service. We, the senior class of 1948, extend to the class which will be the seniors of tomorrow, the best of wishes for a wonderful senior year. May you maintain the spirit and ideals of Crawfordsvillc High School. Page Eighty-seven Si: 1' 'P is sgrx 1 If ,ff rw .Gnu ,Amy ,vw W I ityffigr.
