This, the first post-war Saga, was published during a period of shortages and high prices. The heavy slick paper we hoped to use was simply not available, photographers were hard to get, everybody was busy, busy, busy. By working during Spring Vacation and many hours after school, the staff eventually over- came the difficulties of production, rushed the copy to the printer, who worked hard to finish it by deadline date. In spite of all this, we think it's a good Saga, and we hope you think so, too. THE SAGA STAFF T21 , v 1 1 c f Y , .w , . Y w , w V E, w 1 , I I Q k X 5 1 L L , N Y a 1 .

We pause for a brief time to look over our school life. Looking backward is also looking forward for We see, reflected in our school, the life We are about to enter. The 1947 Oracle is produced and edited by the Senior and Junior Classes of Delphi High School, Delphi, Indiana. Page Page four k Mr. Shaffer of work in his office KW ' Z if QU xv Q EIEEH SCHOCL BOARD The Delphi Board of School Trustees is the legislative and appraisal body of the Delphi Public Schools. They formulate all policies, rules and regulations which gov- ern the operation of the school, they ap- prove the election of all teachers and em- ployees and determine their salaries, de- termine the school tax rate, approve the appropriations and expenditures of all funds, and appraise the administration and educational progress of the schools. Burr Balser, President, was appointed by the advisory board of the township. He was a member of the board from August l, 1989, to December 3, 1946. Wade Farr, Secretary, was trustee of the Township and by law was made Sec- retary of the school December 23, 1942, to December 3, 1946. Joseph Ives, Treasurer, was elected by the city council to represent the city on February 3, 1944, to December 3, 1946. Mr. Ives was re-elected for another term on the school board, and is again assuming the position of Treasurer. Olaf K. Brown took office on January 1, 1947, as president of the new board. Minnie J. Roach took office on January 1, 1947, as Secretary of the new board. Mrs. Minnie Roach Mr. Olaf Brown FACULTY Man does not live by bread alone. Similarly true is the fact that the material things we possess are not the fullest meas- ure of our progress toward a fuller, rich- er life. Education is the basis, the founda- tion, for a secure and happy future. Re- move this foundation and what is left would be nothing but a human shell de- prived of the ability to accumulate grow- ing usefulness and a place among men. Through the centuries education has de- veloped from an insignificant acorn to a giant oak. It is to the faculty of our high school then that we dedicate the follow- ing three pages. lVlr.

Our first year we elected the following officers: Dorothy Newell, president, C. J. Hyman, vice president, Joan Clifford, secretary, and Ruby Slack, treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Ariel Green and Mr. Arden Russell. Our second year we elected the following offic- ers: Robert Mills, president, Bob Schooler, vice- president, Mary Kathleen Fife, secretary, and Bill Myers, treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Robey and Mr. Victor. We chose royal blue and white as our class colors. We followed in the footsteps of our predeces- sors by initiating the freshmen of 1945. We re- vived the old tradition of making the girls dress as boys and the boys dress as girls for the day and evening of the initiation. This year as we mounted the stairs we had a feeling of distinction. We were Juniors! We elect- ed as our officers: Ed Brown, president, Mary Kathleen Fife, vice president, Roy Sheets, secre- tary, and Joan Bradshaw, treasurer. Our sponsors are Miss Shelby, Mr. Drake and Mr. Bradshaw. We are proud of our participation in extra- curricular events, perhaps the most outstanding of which was the Junior play presented November 26th and 27th. Mrs. Weaver, Betty Spring and Don Burton were our directors who led the play to its ultimate success. Our class has many commendable students. On the last day of school in 1945 eighteen members of our class, then Freshmen, received Perfect At- tendance records. These students were: Glenn Calvert, Virginia Disinger, Phyllis Franklin, Eddie Dickinson, Geneva Hawkins, Mildred Hilde- brandt, Norma Johnson, Robert Lane, Robert Mills, Mary Jo Myers, Louise Nagele, Dorothy Newell, Marjorie Norris, Betty Spring, Gladys Weaver, Robert Wert, Helen Wise, and Joan Wise. R CLASS On the corresponding day in 1946 twelve 48 students received this award. They were: Mary Jo Myers, Louise Nagele, Betty Draper, Robert Gerard, Dorothy Newell, Ruth Ann Oaks, Bill Slagle, Gladys Weaver, Robert Wert, Helen Wise, Joan Wise, and Roberta Sagarsee. On the last school day in 1946 many of our students received awards more valuable than those for perfect attendance. A certificates for maintaining average grades of 95W or more were awarded to Dorothy Newell, Robert Mills, Irene Sims, Robert Wert, and Helen Wise. B certifi- cates for maintaining average grades of 9071 up to 957, were awarded to Ruth Bowman, Virginia Disinger, Joan Clifford, Mary Jo Myers, Mary Anne Sterzik, Joan Wise, Louise Nagele, and Bonnie Foster. Every year Bradshaw English awards consist- ing of sums of money are awarded to the three best English students in each high school class. For 1945 the prizes were given in this order: 1st,-Irene Sims, 2nd.-Joan Wise, 3rd,-Robert Wert. In 1946: lst.-Irene Sims, 2nd.-Dorothy Newell, 3rd.-Helen Wise. In 1946 an American Legion Essay Contest for our class was won by Wayne Yates and Irene Sims. Our class is alphabetically divided into three home rooms who elect officers and earn money like other organizations. The three home room presidents are Joan Bradshaw, Marjorie Norris, and Roy Sheets. These home rooms have worked splendidly to help the Junior Class treasury. Marjorie Been is a new student who joined our ranks too late to have her picture put in the annual. Moonlight and Roses was our theme for the Junior Prom, annual party for the departing Seniors.

Page fzreuty-five Darrell Zinn Bob Roach John Bradshaw Tom Redmon FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman Class started high school September 6, 1946, with 72 members. At the first class meeting we didn't know many of our fellow classmates, but we chose the following capable oiiicersz John Bradshaw, president, Bob Roach, vice- president, Darrell Zinn, secretary, and Tom Redmon, treasurer. Our class sponsors are Mr. McCormick, Mr. Whistler, and Mrs. Weaver. Our class was divided into three home rooms. Home room 36, with Mrs. Weaver as our sponsor, elected oiiicers as follows: Jack Carney, president, Cynthia Hall, vice-president, Kathleen Brown, secre- tary, and Martha Collins, treasurer. This home room collected 381.95 by selling seals and sponsoring a movie. Mr. Bradshaw is sponsor of Home room 37. The following oiiicers were elected :E Phyllis Hill, president, Joan Hamling, vice-president, Wilma Johns, secretary, and Berdena Regan, treasurer. The officers of Mr. Whistler's home room 38 are: Barbara Weaver, president, Bar- bara Stankard, vice-president, Betty Rhine, secretary, and Bob Roach, treas- urer. We are well represented in various ac- tivities, eight members are in the Band, thirty-six are members of Sunshine, twenty-two members sing in Glee Club, eleven members belong to the Future Farmers of America, and four members joined the Future Homemakers of Amer- ica. No Freshman can belong to Hi-Y. We have twelve players on our basket- ball team. The first five are Bob Roach, Raymond Brummett, Harold Griffey, Har- old Sprague, and Bob Kerker. Our Fresh- man track team hasn't been announced. The Freshmen were represented in the Student Council by each home room vice- president and the class president. At the beginning of school the sopho- mores entertained the freshmen at an initiation party in the gym. The preceding day we had to wear onions around our necks, each had to carry an egg in his hand, and the girls had to wear jeans and shirts while the boys had to wear dresses. The six best dressed boys and girls were Darrell Zinn, Melvin Fife, Bob Roach, Joan Hamling, Earnestine Sagarsee, and Joan Echler. They were honored by having their pictures in one of the local news- papers. We are planning a Topsy Turvy dance later in the semester for all the school. The girls are to invite the boys, buy cor- sages, buy the admission tickets and pay the rest of the bill. We know the boys will enjoy this type of date. , Our class had two representatives on the A honor roll. They were Richard Brown and Doris Fross. Those on the B honor roll were John Bradshaw, Ruth Ann Mullendore, Keith Mullin, Jack Peters, Earnestine Sagarsee, Charles Smith, and Janet Stoner. We, the members of the Freshman Class, hope to make a record surpassing any other record made by classes of Delphi High School.

QQZQQU-fxigwf UWM Y Y fn SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class Play A Little Honey was presented in the Delphi High School auditorium on March 26 and 27. The cast was as follows: Jerry, a typical teen-ager who leads her man around by the nose.-Joyce Zook. Albert, the awkward, lanky boy who is perfectly satisfied by being led around by the nose.-Ed McGuire. Scoots, a plain, open-faced nine year old who is utterly frank.-Clara Lou Evans. Diana, a chic twenty year old who is also very intellectual about the wrong things. - Colleen Rozhon. Delores, a washed-out woman of forty, with a gleam of crusader in her eye.-Helen Armstrong. Tom, a good-looking, quiet veteran who pursues Diana.-James Dickinson. Mr. Minton, an attractive chap about forty-five and a little on the henpecked side. - Richard Smith. Eve Tyler, a widow with roaming eyes who works on being attractive and southern. - Rosella McCain. Mrs. Minton, a tweedy, female county squire who rules with an iron hand thinking it's for the good of her family.-Della Herr. i Page thirty-two Grandma, a wiry little woman of seventy with a tart tongue, a big heart, and an abundance of energy.-Frances C1'aig. Mrs. Simmons, a trained nurse with a glum and sour face.-Donna Collins. The Sure-Shot man, a big lumbering man who catches on very slowly.-Dan Clawson. The play was directed by our two sponsors Miss Beiber and Mr. Kent. Mrs. Minton loved her family devotedly, but she forgot that she couldn't live their lives. As a result Mr. Minton had nothing to do other than accept the admiration of a charming widow. And Diana tried her best to show her very special sailor how intelligent she was when what Tom, home on a week's furlough, really wanted was a little honey . Jerry the cute bobby-soxer of the family, with the aid of the boy next door, tried to buy a new formal which Mrs. Minton felt was too extravagant. The only happy member of the household was nine year old Scoots whose energy was occupied by her pet frog. It took seventy year old Grandma Thornton to correct matters. The glum Miss Simmons and always-quitting Delores added much to the humor of the atmos- phere. Helen Armstrong f 2 -+- 4- - 1 , . .. .., .- . ' 'ft jf, JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Junior Class Play Who's Crazy Now , was presented in the high school auditorium on November 26th and 27th with the following cast: Nurse Smith, a kindly, good-natured person.- Norma Johnson. Nurse Jones, an impatient, demanding person.- Wilma Haslet. Art Teacher, takes her work seriously, and is al- ways in a feud with Miss Music.-Joan Clifford. Music Teacher, a small, mousy woman, with a big mouth.-Dorothy Newell. History Teacher, a dramatic, nervous woman.- Joan Wise. Principal, a pompous, serious woman never for- getting that SHE is the Principal. - Louise Nagele. English Teacher, joyful when she is playing, but very serious when she is teaching.--Mary Anne Sterzik. Gym Teacher, a dynamic woman with an abund- ance of ene1'gy. Very coy in her scenes with the insane Doctor Sullivan.--Marjorie Norris. Dr. Van, the leading man type. Nice looking, kind and jovial.-Robert Mills. Mr. A1'thur, a dignified man of 45 or 50. Inclined to be the I told you so type, but still likable.- Charles James. Florence Ware, a petite and chic young woman, who is Mr. Arthur's niece. Not dumb, but not quite understanding what is going on. - Helen Wise. Dr. Sullivan, a slightly pompous man, carried away with his own importance.-Robert Wert. Mr. Arthur, with the help of Dr. Van and Nurses Smith and Jones, runs an insane asylum for crazy teachers. He invites his niece Florence Ware, who plans to be a teacher, to visit him, with the hope that when she sees all these crazy teachers from Delphi High School, she will give up the idea. Dr. Van it was who finally persuaded her to give up her desire for teaching and marry him. The play was directed by two very able stud- ent directors, with advice of Mrs. Weaver. Marjorie Nor1'is Page thirty-three SENIOR BAND The Senior Band consisting of fifty-eight mem- bers is composed of students from grades eight to twelve. Under the direction of Robert Barton the band completed a very successful year. The officers of the band this year are: Boh Mills, president, Joan Clifford, vice-president, and Della Herr, secretary. The first six weeks of school the band practiced marching with Dan Clawson and Bill Slagle as the drum majors and Doris Bowman, Rosella McCain, Phyllis Cole, Betty Mohler, and Joan Stoner as the twirlers. The Band Parents organized in November, 1946, to help raise money to purchase new uniforms of navy blue trimmed with gold. The band helping with this drive, played four concerts during the year in the high school audi- torium. To be remembered was the concert given the night after Mr. Barton went to the hospital with a p pendicitis. Student directors Robert Mills and Bill Slagle won plaudits by putting the band and the glee club through their paces with- outa hitch. The band also played for two political rallies, the Jefferson basketball game in Lafay- ette, and an all-school assembly program Decem- ber 20, 1946. Mr. Barton entered several members in the state solo and ensemble contest March 29. 1947, and the entire band participated in the district contest held April 12, 1947. Thirty-three mem- bers of the band attended a concert by the Indian- apolis Symphony Orchestra in Indianapolis as guests of the local chapter of the Kappa Kappa Kappa Sorority. JUNIOR BAND The band is composed of thirty-three students from grades five to eight. The officers for the year are: Helen Clifford, presidentg Beulah James, vice-president: Tommy Crosby, secretary: and Earl Pauley, reporter. The Junior Band has played for all of the Junior High and Freshman basketball games at Delphi. The Beginners Band has twenty-two members who were selected f1'om pupils in the fourth to the eighth grade. Kathryn Freitag Page thirty-four MUSIC DEPARTMENT Page thirty-ffive Y. .. ic. i.. ewc .

MIXED CHORUS At the beginning of the year all those boys and girls wishing to join the Glee Club were asked to assemble in the band room. To the amazement of all, a record membership was shown with some ninety members. This was the largest the Glee Club had ever been. So large was the class that it had to be divided into two groups: one meeting Monday and Wednesday dur- ing activity period and the other on Tues- day and Thursday during activity period. Another change this year in the Glee Club was the combining of the boys and girls into one mixed chorus group. Glee Club activities are directed this year by a newcomer to the faculty, Mr. Robert Barton. Our accompanist at the piano was Dorothy Newell. After the first few weeks of school when conflicts had been smoothed out, the mem- bership of our club had dropped to seven- ty-three. This was hardly large enough to keep two groups of chorus singers so they were consolidated into one group, which met every Monday and Wednesday, activity period. Mr. Barton made plans for the club's Page thirty-sim activities for the year and selected the songs accordingly. The list included such popular favorites as Rose Marie, Des- ert Song, Blue Heaven, and several others. The first public appearance of the mixed chorus was on the radio program, High Schools on Parade, held in the high school gym January 9, 1947. Mr. Barton directed the chorus in Desert Song. After that the mixed chorus was used as a special attraction in the second of a series of concerts held January 30, 1947, in the gym. The songs used for the occa- sion were The Desert Song and Blue Skies. As Mr. Barton was in the hospital at the time of the concert, student direc- tor Bill Slagle led the mixed chorus and won praise for himself. A Wilcox-Gay portable phonograph and recorder was presented to the music de- partment by the Psi Iota Xi Sorority. Mr. Barton used this to record the singing of the mixed chorus during rehearsals. By playing it back to us, We found many of our mistakes and corrected them before our program. Top Row: Myi-rs, W. L.: Lash l K Kt I N ll J M Kinley, R.

This special choir, which was started several years ago, is a group of girls selected from the mixed chorus. The following girls were members of the Special Choir: Geneva Hawkins, Wilma Hazlet, Helen Allen, Marjorie Deardorff, Marjorie Norris, Louise Nagele, Virginia Disinger, Kath- leen Fife, June Newell, Della Herr, Joyce Zook, and Maxine Zinn. The girls sere- naded the student body with a medley of carols in the Christmas service held at the Presbyterian Church. Something new and different the chorus did this year was the entering into a con- test held at Delphi, April 12. In the spring the chorus made its annual appearance be- fore the usual, overcrowded auditorium for the Music Festival held on May 16. The students who belonged to the chorus had a right to be proud, for they had a fine group and a good director. Rosella McCain Colleen Rozhon Weaver, B.

IS BUSY The 1946-47 F.F.A. Chapter is probably the most active and prosperous in the history of the Delphi Club. With a membership of 60, which is one of the largest in Indiana, the Chapter has been carrying on many and varied types of activi- ties. A program of work for the year was set up last fall, and a list of jobs covering over 30 pages is in line to be finished. The program consists of Supervised Farming, Cooperation, Membership, Community Service, Leadership, Earnings and Savings, Conduct of Meetings, Scholarship and ltecreation. Each individual is trying to carry some type of project: also, the Chapter is sponsoring several cooperative activities. Livestock and crops are bought by the Chapter and distributed to mem- bers. Each member is then required to return a portion of his returns to the Chapter so that pro- jects can be continued. This year our chapter sent seven boys and our advisor, Mr. Weaver, to Kansas City to the Na- tional F.F.A. convention for four days, October 22, 255, 24, and 25. The boys who went are Dale Craig, Ed Brown, Merrill Hughes, Bob Gerard, Quenten Clem, Jason S t e W a r t and Francis Wright. The convention was strictly a business meeting throughout the day, but the evening the boys had to themselves. One evening they SZIW Charley McCarthy, Edgar Bergen, Mortimer Snerd, Ray Noble and his orchestra and others. The last day they went to a prize live stock auction on the out- skirts of Kansas City. Another event attended by a group from our chapter was a livestock show at Chicago, Novem- ber 30. Twenty boys with Mr. Weaver, Mr. Bur- ton, and Mr. McHardie, the bus driver, left Delphi on Saturday morning, November 30 before day- break. The group looked over the livestock show till afternoon when they went to the Museum of Sci- ence and Industry. The use of sodium fluoride for worming hogs was introduced and sponsored in this area by our chapter. We have been instrumental in distribut- ing enough of this chemical to worm more than 3000 pigs. The Delphi Chapter won second in the demon- st1'ati0n contest which was held at Tipton, Feb- ruary 11, 1947. It was a practical demonstration on sodium Huoride as a wormel' given by Don Huff and Jack Peters. Also included was a quartet contest and a par- liamentary procedure contest. Delphi was well represented with 14 boys. Much credit for this year's success is due to the efficient management by the officers who are Dale Craig, president: Ed Brown, vice-president: Merrill Hughes, secretary: Francis Wright, re- porter: Richard Mears, treasurer: Jason Stewart. sentinel: and Jesse Wilson, song leader. W. S. Weaver, vocational agriculture instructor, is ad- visor for the group. Jim Scott Don Burton Top Row: Amstutz. L.: Scott. J.: Clem. Q.: Gerard, li.: Rozhon, li.: Swatts. W.: Craig. D.: Wasson.

The purpose of this organization is to spread sunshine and helpfulness in every possible way. The Society began the year by making arrangements for the initiation of all freshmen and new girls into the society. Committees were appointed for the year. Thirty-five freshmen girls were ini- tiated this year. The initiation was held at the Methodist Church. A talk was given by Mr. Richard Shaffer, our high school principal. Marjorie Norris, accom- panied by Virginia Delaney, sang. Follow- ing the candlelight ceremony, tea was served to the girls and their mothers. Dorothy Newell entertained at the piano and Marjorie Deardorff, talented sopra- no, sang. The meetings are held the first Tues- day of every month. They consist of a business meeting followed' by a program of some kind. For some of the program this year we have had a book review by Miss Bieber, a movie in connection with the Hi-Y, the Down-Beats, a Christmas program at the church with the chorus in charge, a talk by Mr. McCormick about his trip to California and a magi- cian show by Mr. Weaver. The last meeting of the year is turned over to the new president. The senior girls present a farewell program to the other Sunshine members. Some of the activities for the Sunshine Society are as follows: we sponsored a dance on February 7, sent cards to sick people, and donated to the Riley Hospital fund. In December the Sunshine present- ed as convocation for the student assem- bly, an original radio program given by some of the members. About twenty of the Sunshine girls and Miss Bieber attended the district Sunshine Convention at Ambia, Indiana, on October 12, 1946. We try to send one or two representa- tives each year to the Sunshine Camp. This year Maxine Zinn and Joyce Zook were the representatives. The Sunshine sponsor is Miss Bieber.

Sines Page forty-one THE DELPHI This club, established in 1923, unique among the numerous organizations in the school, has for its motto: Clean Speech, Clean Thought and Christian Living. With an objective of extending throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, members meet once a month. Typical meetings are opened by prayer led by the chaplain, Bill Schooler. Following this, Secretary Bill Wood re- ports along with the treasurer, Dale Craig. Meetings are conducted during the busi- ness session in parliamentary procedure, and an entertainment program generally 1'llgl' forty-Iwo HLY CLUB follows business. This year the Downbeats of Delphi put on a program of music, and Paul Aikens, manufacturer of archery equipment, talked on the use of the bow and arrow. An annual father and son banquet was held this year to bring together the mem- bers with their fathers on February 11, in the home economics room. The banquet, served this year by the Future Homemak- ers of America, was climaxed by an ad- dress given by the Reverend Arthur An- derson of West Lafayette. 3 Bill Schooler Bill Wood Dale Craig Bill Myers Joe Holmes Some of the boys, along with our ad- visor, Mr. McCormick, attended a confer- ence last fall at Purdue where they ex- changed with members of clubs from other schools ideas concerning the admit- tance of new members, ways of making money and other essentials for the main- tenance of a good club. One noteworthy project of the club was the sending of letters during the four years of the war to Delphi alumni in the armed forces. Another project this year was an un- dertaking to keep restrooms clean. Club secretaries keep records of the church attendance, activities and confer- ence attendance of each member. At the end of the year members with highest points for such activities are awarded tok- ens of merit. Admission into the club is simple: when a boy becomes a sophomore, he may be- come a member upon application and ex- amination by a membership committee. New officers were installed in February. They are: Eddie Dickinson to replace Joe Holmes, past presidentg Roy Sheets, vice- presidentg Douglas Hatton, secretaryg Don Rhine, treasurer, Francis Wright, sergeant-at-arms. As in the past the Hi-Y will work to pro- mote Christian living among high school boys.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA The Home Economic Club was renamed in 1945 the Future Homemakers of Amer- ica, a national organization of pupils studying homemaking in senior high schools of the United States and Terri- tories. The purpose of our club is to em- phasize the importance of worthy home membership, to encourage democratic liv- ing in the home and community, to work for better home and family life, and to encourage the development of leadership and co-operation. Our magazine, the Teen Times, contains news of local and national clubs. Our col- ors, red and white, are symbolic of youth and home life. Our flower, the red rose, a favorite flower everywhere, is a symbol of vibrant, glowing health. The motto which appears across the bottom of our emblem is Toward New Horizons. We have a degree for each year in our organization. The Junior Homemaker De- gree has as its symbol the key. The key is symbolic of the opportunity to attain a successful future through participation in our programs. The symbol of the Chap- ter Homemaker Degree is the Scroll. It is symbolic of the learning experiences provided for in the varied activities of our Page forfy-four club. A guiding light that inspires further endeavor is the Torch, symbol for the State Homemaker Degree. The rose for the American Homemaker Degree sym- bolizing achievement is the fulfillment of desirable goals. Whenever we get a degree, we fasten the symbol for that degree on the chain of our FHA pin. Each year the club sets up definite goals that it wishes to accomplish. Our aim this year was to improve our own nutritional standards and to learn the fundamentals of planning, preparing, and serving a meal. This year our club elected the following officers: Frances Grassmyer, presidentg Kathryn Freitag, vice-president, Carrie Lou Dock, secretary 3 Ruth Gushwa, treas- urer, and Joan Bush, reporter. After carrying on the activities of the last two years the FHA hopes that its members are now more capable of becom- ing Future Homemakers of America. The second and fourth Tuesday of each month the Future Homemakers of Amer- ica meet in the Home Economics room during activity period. After a short busi- ness meeting conducted by the president, Frances Grassmyer, the program commit- tee takes charge. This year We stressed the importance of good nutrition. To accomplish our goal we have served several meals both for experience and to make money. Several times we served the noon meal for junior and senior high school students. On Feb- ruary 11th we prepared and served the Hi-Y banquet for approximately 100 mem- bers and their fathers. We also Worked with the FFA several times when We served meals for their Fox Drive and par- ents banquet. At our December meeting we met jointly with the FFA for a gift exchange and a lunch which we prepared. At other meetings We had demonstrations and movies to help us better understand cooking methods. Other activities that we have carried on are sponsoring the dance after the Royal Center game and planning our scrapbook. The scrapbook committee this year was made up of Janis Grassmyer, Wilma Johns, Joan Jackson, and Lois Kite. They have kept a record of our activities and will also give each senior girl a write-up in the book. We have also made for the Jun- ior Red Cross stuffed animals which are given to unfortunate children. The FHA plans to establish the precedent of leaving each year some articles to improve the Home Economics Department. To encour- age greater interest in the club there is a yearly award of five dollars given to the most Worthy senior. Joan Bush 'Q I . I ifil' .U fir t ' ...il u hw Q , ..,. Q E A -' 1 nn .

DELPHIAN Our school newspaper, the Delphian, is repro- duced and distributed every second week by the Office Practice Class under the direction of Miss Robey. During' the fall semester the Senior English Class gathered the news and handled the Writing end of the Delphian. Both the writing and the publishing were performed by the Office Practice Class during the second semester when the Eng- lish Class was discontinued. A member of the Indiana High School Press association, the Delphian staff sends delegates each year to the annual convention held at Frank- lin College, Franklin, Indiana. This year's dele- gation was Robert Carl Smith, Dan Clawson, Mary Catherine Sines, Maxine Zinn and Geneva Hawkins. The convention met during the last day of the Indiana State Teachers' Association Con- vention and the day following, and Miss Robey accompanied our delegation as chaperone and advisor. Our delegation unsuccessfully nomi- nated and backed Geneva Hawkins for the office of secretary of the press grroup.

Marion Robey ORACLE Early in the fall the Senior class met and dis- cussed the matter of publishing an annual. All of the members of the class were enthusiastic over the idea and voted unanimously for it. But several obstacles presented themselves. A paper sho1'tage still existed due to the war. Also, the prices for printing and publishing an annual were high. Miss Robey, who has helped former senior classes to publish annuals, gave them all the in- formation she could concerning our project. Before starting to work on the annual the staff helped raise money by sponsoring a carnival which was a great success and brought to the Oracle treasury a considerable sum. The first problem of the staff was the taking of pictures. We decided to use the outdo01's as our background in the g1'oup pictures, so the first sunny day that came along, we sent our scouts to all the classrooms for pupils to get their pictures taken. Mr. Rodkey was our photographer. After the photography committee was finished, the organization committee busied themselves and laid out the plans for the arrangement of articles in the annual. While this was going on, the sales committee sold subscriptions for the annual. Then the activities committee went to work getting the articles written up for the organiza- tions. The office practice class and Miss Robey did the work of typing the articles up on dummy forms for the printer. The work of these committees did not stop when another started. Oh no! Even now we aren't surprised if a flash bulb goes off for working on the annual has helped give birth to an active group of amateur photographers who refuse to lay down their cameras just because the annual is finished.

Mistakes, yes, we made many of them: but they only helped because in going back, we did it more successfully. By refusing to acknow- ledge defeat, we believe we have emerged with an annual which will top all others. Colleen Rozhon Page forty-seven Page forty-eight DELPHI-ROSSVILLIC GAME SCORE 33-38 512, . Eff U fx D - EIB? Mfffdfv Um I, FUTURE BASKETBALL The Junior High and Freshman mentor this year is William Bill Schooler, who in 1942, accepted a position in the Delphi School System. His primary purpose is to teach the Junior High and Freshmen the fundamen- tals of basketball upon which they are drilled at every practice. After learning their fundamentals in Junior High, they are ready for the finer points of the game by the time they reach High School. Mr. Schooler claims the greatest asset they receive is experience which tends to build better ball players for the high school team. Some of the highlights of Mr. Schooler's coaching career: In 1944 with a mediocre Freshman team he defeated a highly tal- ented Logansport quintet after trailing 13-2 at the first quarter. In 1945 his team won the Freshman tournament at Monti- cello. This year the Delphi Junior High team won the annual Junior High tourna- ment held at Monticello. ...Q ' J. -.

BASKETBALL This year we have as our athletic direc- tor, Elmer McCall, who was coach at Del- phi in 1943. Leaving Delphi at the end of the school year, he accepted the job as head basketball coach of Bloomington High School in 1944, and after the school term he entered the Navy. After serving approximately two years in the Navy, he then returned to Delphi and accepted the job as athletic director. Mr. McCall is building a team for the future as he has five underclassmen on the varsity team and also has one of the finest second teams in this section of the state. No seniors are playing on the B team because the underclassmen will be the fu- ture team and Mr. McCall wants them to learn to play together. Outstanding of the B team achieve- ments was its Winning of the four-team tournament at Logansport. One of the most thrilling games played by the varsity this year was at Jefferson of Lafayette. Jefferson was picked as one of the best high school basketball squads in this section of the state, but Delphi was victorious that night. The Delphi fans came home very jubilant that night leav- ing a sadly defeated Jefferson crowd be- hind. YELL LEADERS At the beginning of the season, we had only three yell leaders, Elizabeth Kirk- patrick, Joyce Zook, and Bob Hatter. They were doing a good job, but the student body began losing interest in pep sessions and yells. Bonnie Foster and Geneva Hawkins, both former yell leaders, volun- tered to help get more pep from the stu- dents. After that we had a team of five yell leaders and the students regained their pep. The girl yell leaders are attractive with their new black slacks, black blouses and gold lettering running diagonally across their backs and chests. Bob Hatter's uni- form is very similar. Win or lose, the fans are determined that their team shall have cheering and yells throughout the game to show our school's pride and appreciation.

The city boys prac- ticed in the evening after school and the country boys practiced running during the noon-hour. They used the golf links as their practice field. These five boys entered a meet at Frankfort and placed as follows: Bob Wert, third placeg Junior Seedorf, fifth place: Richard Mears, eighth placeg Frank Hildebrandt, ninth place: and John Brad- shaw, tenth place. Our season was short because we were late getting started, but next year we hope to have a full season of Cross-Country. Mr. Shaffer, high school principal, is coach of the Cross-Country squad. BOXING After the close of the C'ross-Country season, a boxing team was organized. A complete line of equipment was purchased, and practice was commenced during the noon hour and afternoons after school. Mr. Shaffer coaches the team which consists of Junior Seedorf, Leroy Smith, Max Wal- lace, Glen Calvert, Carl Penn and Harold Griiey. James Wilson Page fifly-four Mfr TRACK In this year 1947, Delphi High School plans to make track history. Never before have her chances been so high and her resources so prom- isine. NVQ- are all happy to welcome Elmer McCall back as coach again and know that he will lead us to many victories, This year we will have twelve newcomers on our team togfether with 15 returning varsity men who are as follows: Bill Wood, Charles Hyman, John Zartman, Dan Clawson, Robert C.

He went to the State last year running the hurdles in 223 seconds flat ae,'ainst his oppo- nent's 22.5 seconds. Robert C. Smith, an ex- Marine, is also expected to top his winning' streak of 19-I5 when he lost only one half-mile race in the dual meets. The following are the different track events and our main dual meets. Dashes-Charles Hyman, Bill Wood, Dick Brew- er, John Zartman, and Don Burton. 4:40 Yard DashWEd Brown, Ed McGuire, James Dickinson and Junior Seedorf.

Our school will be seen battling' track teams all over Northern Indiana in the first week in May and we know there will be plenty of enthusi- asm from all the Delphi fans. Dick Smith Page fifty-ffl' G. In 1940, the Delphi High School became a member of the Indiana Association. An active club in Delphi High School is the G. A. A. with an enrollment of 30 girls. The purpose of the club is to pro- mote the health and general welfare of the members of the organization and to stimulate the girls' interest in health and physical activities. At the end of each year monograms are awarded to the girls earning 150 points and letters are given to those earning 250 points. Gold lockets are given to Senior girls earning 350 points. The following girls will receive lockets this year. They are Mary Rhine, Katherine Scowden, Col- leen Rozhon and Joyce Zook. The activities for which points are giv- en are divided into three groups of organ- ized activities such as basketball, base- ball, and volleyball. Five points are given to each unorganized activity such as danc- A. A. ing, hiking, bicycling, and skating. At the end of each six weeks the girls hand in points for every unorganized activity they do during the six-Weeks period. The ac- tivity must be done 30 minutes every week for one six-weeks period, and the most points one girl can hand in during a given period is 25 points. Five for each activity. The G. A. A. holds its meetings the sec- ond and fourth Friday of every month. After the business meeting, the program committee headed by Joan Stoner pre- sented the girls with a program. Some of the programs which we enjoyed this year Were: the Downbeats, which consists of Dick Smith, Bill Slagle and Art Bradshaw 5 the special girls choir, a number of popu- lar pieces played on the piano by Bill Slagle, a short play presented by the Dra- matics Class, a demonstration on archery given by Mr. Aikens, and a talk on sports given by Mr. McCall.

A. is sponsoring a demonstration of archery by Mr. Aitkens for the Delphi High School girls. Archery is being taught this year for the first time. In October, 1946, the sophomores, jun- iors, and seniors initiated the following girls into the organization: Betty Rhine, Marilyn McCormick, Mary Alice Carrier, Phylis Rider, Patsy Jones, Janet Stoner and Janis Grassmyer. The initiation con- sisted of many endurance tests which brought out sportsmanship and other traits required for membership in G. A. A. Good sportsmanship is one trait which all members of G. A. A. must possess and demonstrate in their daily lives. The 1946-47 G. A. A. ofiicers were: Mary Rhine, presidentg Katherine Scow- den, vice presidentg Mariam Collum, sec- retary, and Kathleen Fife, treasurer. The G. A. A. held its annual basketball tourney at 7:00 P. M. in the high school gym on April 8th and 9th. Mr. Schooler and Mr. McCall acted as referees. The G. A. A. sponsor, Miss Beebe, a new teacher in the school, is taking Miss Green's place. She has taken a great in- terest in the organization and has pro- moted many new activities. The mem- bers have certainly enjoyed working with her throughout the year. This year the organization has laid a foundation for a better club next year. We hope that in the future years, this or- ganization will keep on educating the girls in the art of good sportsmanship which is so valuable in life.
