Selection of class officers was held and we emerged with the follow- ing stars: Bob Graham, president, Doug Hatton, vice president, Marian Collum, secretary, Carl Penn, treasurer, and Betty Io McCarty, student council representative. The freshman basketball team had a very successful season that year, and because of this recognition, we took our place in the fast moving high school parade. For our initiation, the boys had to dress as girls, and the girls as boys for the day- Stunt night was held to further entitle us to be true citizens of Delphi High. We felt a bit more distinguished when we assumed the title of sopho- mores. With being sophomores came the responsibility of initiating the class of l950. The officers who helped us carry on many other activities were Doug Hatton, president, Dick Cowdin, vice president, Doris lean Bowman, sec- retary, and Carrie Lou Dock, treasurer. With our arrival on the third step of the high school ladder, we became juniors. We were strictly interested in business, and in many well-constructed meetings we fashioned plans for the Prom. Not only did we present a beauti- ful dance decorated in accordance with the theme Moonlight Serenade and with the delightful music furnished by Dick Mordenti's band, but we also acted as hosts for a junior-senior banquet. Our capable directors were Bill Duff, president, Dick Cowdin, vice president, Iane Bush, secretary, and Pat O'Farrell, treasurer. Mr. McCormick helped us present our junior class play, Iune Mad. At-last we are seniors. We accept our places on the senior side of the assembly and through senior parlimentary 'procedure elected Doug Hatton, president, Bud Weidner, -vice president, Betty Io McCarty, secretary, Ruth Ann McKinley, treasurer, Tom Ives and Dick Lucas, sergeants-at-arms. Two of our most beautiful senior girls, Iune Newell and Betty Io McCarty, reigned as co-queens for the Homecoming football game. Our class colois are green and white. The white carnation is our class flower, and our class motto is: We are the miners, success, our gold. Prom our place at the top of the high school ladder, we sometimes look back and smile reminiscently on The Best Years of Our Lives.

We elected for our freshman class officers: Bill Roach, prosidentg Jerry Claw- son, vice president: Peggy Starkey, secretary-treasurer. We had the assembly for our homeroom and our sponsor for the year was Mr. Weaver. Patty Fontinel, a member of our class was selected fre-shman track quctcn for the Delphi Relays- The class ol '51 has its share ol honor students and ticfd with the juniors in having the largest number of students on the honor roll, during freshman year. This year, having attained the title of sophomores, we are still main- taining our honor record. Our sophomore class officers are: Iames McGreevey, president, Roger Cain, vice presidentg Ruth Furst, secretary-treasurer. We have four representa- tives on the student council. These are ferry Clawson, Bill Bradshaw, Wanda Hughes, and Bob Hankins. Several Sophomores took part and received first division in the District Solo and Ensemble contest. Those who will participate in the State Solo, Ensemble contests are Bill Boach, Dick Hatton, Herb Parks, and Iulie Smith. We are divided into three homerooms with Miss Coble, Miss Brown and Miss Shelby as home room teachers. Our sponsor is Mr. Weaver. Our main social events have been a skating party, and a May Hare Hop, to which the girls asked the boys. We didn't do badly in freshman athletics. Mr. Schooler, our coach, re- marks concerning our basketball season: Well, l think the outstanding game of the year was the semi-final game of the Iell tourney when we were edged out of the championship by Loaansport by a score of 26-24. ln the tourney held here, we were defeated by Flora 16-14 after leading at the half 12-4. During the freshman track season, we played Monticello, Camden, and Flora in dual meets. We won all of these and several others. +2 '. x , 4-6 Max Andrews .lim 7? sp illiam Bradshaw larnes Carrier Y X lamos Clem Bill Crook qv-'Y Phyllis Ayres 'S' Roger Cain Carol Clawson l-lelen Clifford Edwin Cunningham Q. - ' ggi? - 141 go- sq x h' ' 'Q' A KS Q ff, 5 . rg, ' Nl ii, l , - ,K X x i i ' f- fri Clifford Baldwin Marvin Bowman x' C y -Q y 4' ..,' 1 if .211 f - 223 BNN S -'5 A Donald Calvert Bradley Capper ferry Clawson Helen Cleaver Carolyn Coble Caroline Cripe J' -4--ev Dorothy Davis Ravhel Dishon l l Q I of 1111?

They were to help us throughout :ur first year of high school, so they said. They didn't help matters a bit when, on initiation day, the sophomores commanded, Freshie, drop, and vur belonaings clamored to the floor, 'Freshie, lick, and we hastily stroked 'Jith our tongues the onions suspended on strings around our necks. But we iecided that they were rather l'okay sponsors before our Frosh experience acted into our book of memories. lt was 1948, an election year We exercised our franchise and voted or the candidates running on the Frosh ticket. When the popular vote was :ounted, we inaugurated Robert fDintyD Iohnson, president, Robert Bradshaw, lice president, Nancy Bowen, secretary, and Kathleen Bozhon, treasurer. Nith this corps of officers, we couldn't be surpassed, With the advent of the hardwood season, we felt the need of basketball :heer leaders. Patty Crone, Margie Rex, Nancy Bowen, and Sharon Carney were our charming selections. We humbly thank them and the team for eading us through a very successful season. We Frosh are active members of various organizations. A number of he boys gained F. F. A. membership through a green hand initiation. Some of the girls joined G. A- A, and F. H. A. and all the girls became Sun- :hine Society members. The boys are looking forward to their sophomore fear when they may become candidates for membership in I-li-Y. There are 1 number of Frosh who snap and develope pictures, for they are members nf the Camera Club. We couldn't forget to mention that the candy sales or the Camera Club have skyrocketed since the freshmen began selling. One step toward the goal, our high school graduation day, has passed. Ne are striving to become better citizens of Delphi High as we continue to nount the stairs keeping our eyes always on our goal. -, SV , .J ' 'f Donald Allbaugl 'PHL . 4, , .Ls .

FOOTBALL Football was revised in Delphi in 1948. lt had not been played in Delphi since 1908. A lot of talk was disseminated around town about reviving foot- ball, but nobody ever did anything about it. Finally Harry Cooper, a teacher at Delphi High School last year and now at Elkhart, Indiana, enlisted the help of many merchants in town in obtaining the permission of the school board to'return football to the field of athletics. During the first year, football was not a varsity sport. The Delphi team played second teams of neighboring schools and had a successful season. There was a great turnout for the sport when a call for players was made by Harry Cooper, the coach. The second year of football at Delphi had a greater turnout of players than the previous year. These boys had great determination and fortitude. This year football was a varsity sport, and the team had a better season than the year before- The team was coached by Bob Miller, head coach, and Norman Ebrite, assistant coach. Our team played on one of the best-lighted fields in this district. The lights for the field were financed by the merchants and citizens of the com- munity, who formed a holding company to lend the Delphi Athletic Associa- tion the money to build dressing rooms, buy lights, and set up the football field. They did this for a good cause, for football has done a world of good for the Delphi community by providing another sport for students and more entertainment for adults. 40 V3 vw .r 4' If fwg.w , ' QW? , 2 'W Y? .

VARSITY The Delphi High School Basketball team for l948-49 was an unpredictable gang of ball players. At mes the team looked like State Champs and at other times they were not worth the space they took up 1 the ball floor. But in their favor this much must be said. They always had lots of scrap, determination id, even though much has been said to the contrary, the will to win. The team and their coach, Bob Miller, started the season with the odds against them. The football am had just completed a very successful season and the basketball team was expected to do like-wise. 'n top of that, they had but a week to prepare for the first game. They lost a couple games at first but ten the team began to improve. The football in the boys disappeared, and they began to function more ce a basketball team. But then just before tourney time, the team slipped again. They never quite re- Jined their form for the sectional, and were nosed out in the second game. There were eleven seniors 1 the varsity which means that next year Mr. Miller will have to build an almost entirely new ball team. nb Roach, Harold Sprague and Bob Kerker were the only juniors to see action on the varsity. The high :orers for the Oracles were Tom Ives and Don Pauley, but the scoring was pretty well divided among e whole team. john Zartrnan, john Hawn, and Dick Cowdin were valuable under the bank boards, while oug Hatton and Bob Cassell were usually given the rough defensive assignments. Pat O'Farrell, Bob 'ilcox, Bob Graham, and Bill Randle TOU1'1d9d Out the varsity and all four of them were hard workers nth on offense and defense. The team may not have had such a good record for the season but we at . H. S. are proud of them. 4-4 TOD ROW Ray Brummetil Bill Wilcox: Marvin BOWIHHD3 Buddy Holloway: Jim Haydeng Bill Powell Bob Drape Front Row Bud Weidner, managerg Herb Parksg Harold Sprague: Jim Clem: Clifford Baldwin Tom Kempt Norman Bbiite coach. BEE ORACLES- The Bee Oracles reached the height ot their glory when they walked away with the championship ot the B team tourney held at Logansport. The team got their season oft to a slow start by losing their opener to Rossville. Sheridan was then met and defeated and the Bees won three more consequtive games. The linal tallies were nine victories and eleven defeats. The scoring honors for the season went to Sprague, Powell and Ray Brummett. Parks, Baldwin, Holloway, Kerker, Hatton and little Bob Draper did a swell job when they were in there. Clem, Hayden, Wilcox, Bowman, and Kempl rounded out the rest ot the squad but saw little action in rnost ot the games. The little Oracles proved to be a bunch of sharpshooters as they aver- aged 242 points per game which is a much higher average than last year's B team. 45 T .ff up C, si R, . . 4 S06 x ,- Bob Vlfzlcox 5s,4,Sr 2 X K om Ives 3 Bill Handle XX Hx v iw ,, 1 S yi 5' --v, EN .J A fi FK fi' My , xv s .

TRACK Every year toward the end ot March after the state basketball tourney is over and the school has settled down to the last couple of months of school, the track coach issues his call for candidates. This year at Delphi, we have something different. For the first time in quite a number of years we have two coaches, Mr, Ebrite, the head track coach, and Mr. Miller, assistant. Heading this year's list of candidates are six returning lettermen: Don Pauley in the pole vault, Bob Wilcox in the distance, Clark Carr in the middle distance, Bob, Kerker in the 440 and high jump, Tom Ives in the pole vault and hurdles, and Dick Cowdin in the high jump. Of these, Cowdin participat- ed in the state' track meet last year. Coach Ebrite drew up an impressive schedule of meets beginning with an inter-class meet on April l, and ending with the state meet on May 20. The big day as far as Delphi track is concerned comes on April 30 when the annual Delphi Relays is held. One of the largest meets of its type in the state, the Delphi Relays this year attracted some 30 schools with over 200 athletes, to its class A and B competition. 48 x i y Q Rr yi NR?

BOXING I The Delphi High School boxing team, one oi tour high school teams gin .e state of lndiana, under the combined tutelage of Mr. Miller and Mr. iaffer, enjoyed a successful season considering that this was only the second sason the boys have been boxing- They lost two very close matches with ulver Military Academy, but even in defeat received rnuch praise. Three of e boys boxed in the open division of the Golden Gloves at Danville, illinois. rt Lane Won two matches before he was defeated and Wayne Myers Won s first match but broke his hand and was unable to continue. There are any promising younger boxers in the school and they are all hoping that axing will be made a permanent sport in D. H.

McCormick. The club holds meetings once a month. These meetings usually consist of a short business session and a program which is usually some outside speaker or entertainer. The club has certain projects it tries to do every yearg the most elaborate of these being a guidance day when representa- tives from universities, business schools or factories come to the high school to talk to the juniors and seniors on different vocations. ln 1949 the guidance day was March 23. Other things the Hi-Y does are helping to keep the boys' rest- rooms clean, having a yearly father and son banquet at which the new members are inducted, and attending Hi-Y conferences. This past year groups of l-li-Y boys have attended conferences at Peru and 56 Qvs -M--+ our WM Il' - t First Row: Bob Hankins, Paul Van Sickle, Kenny Ward, Dick Hatton, Herb Parks, Bill Roach, Jim McGreevey.

From these conferences the boys learn many new ideas and how to improve themselves and their clubs. The Hi-Y Club has for its motto: Clean Sports, Clean Speech, Clean Living and Clean Scholarship, and for its creed: To create and maintain high standards of Christian character throughout school and community . The officers for 1948 were Tom lves, president, Douglas Hatton, vice president, George Sheehan, secretary, Herbert Wilson, treasur- er, Clark Carr, chaplain and Iohn Zartman, sergeant-at-arms. The officers for l949 arei Darrell Zinn, president, lerry Clawson, vice presi- s dent, Iim Clem, secretary, Bob Hankins, treasurer and Paul O'Farrell, chaplain. 1 The Hi-Y Club gets its members by presenting the applicants' names to a committee which investigates the applicants' records as to scholarship, loyalty and citizenship. The applicants are then in- terviewed. Later they decide upon the suitable applicants and present them to the Club which then votes upon their application. The Hi-Y officers are picked by a committee which nominates outstand- ing members who would be suitable lor the position. The committee pre- sents their nominations to the club for final election. The new officers take office in lanuary. At Christmas time the Hi-Y com- bines with the Sunshine Society to pre- sent a Christmas service to the entire high school in one of the local churches. 57 i 2 z FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA The Future Homemakers of America is an organization that studies the modern ways of homemaking, furthers democratic living in the home and community, and develops leader- ship and co-operation.

This award is based on the following types of activitiesq supervised practice, leadership, community service, cooperative activities, earnings and savings, scholar- ship, conduct of meetings, and recreation. T , 1nvo ve judging contests, home projects, competing in public speaking work, demonstrations, the chapter swine and turkey projects, and basket-ball and ping-pong games. The important part of the award is that all 60 boys in the chapter took an active part in some phase of agriculture, rather than having a few boys outstanding and neglecting others. All boys learn to become cooperativel m' d d - y in e ,commun ity conscious, and leaders in agricultural flelds of special interest. he Delphi FFA completed over 600 different activities which ' l cl 61 SUNSHINE SOCIETY The Sunshine Society, with Miss Mary Anna Bieber as head sponsor, began the year by electing as officers: president, Iune Newellg vice president, loyce Norrisg recording secre- TCIIY, CC1fOlY1'1 Coble: USGSUTGT, Ruth Arm Mullendore, and corresponding secretary, Ianet Cassell.

Since the last annual in '47, the band has been very successful in the many contests in which we take part. In April 1947, the band took 2nd in the district competition with Rochester and Renn- selaer, in the contest held at Delphi. The chorus received first in the district and 2nd in the state contest, held at North Manchester. In 1949 we had almost an equally successful year. The band equaled the previous year's record with a 2nd in the district- The chorus took 3rd in keen Competition at Rennselaer. Delphi did very well in the solo and ensemble contests at Kokomo in 1948 with 6 firsts, 10 seconds and 2 thirds. Delphi repeated the performance with 7 firsts, 6 seconds, 5 thirds and 3 fourths this year. The band has presented 6 concerts during the last two years. We have played twenty Saturday night concerts on the square the last two summers, concluding with a big concert for Old Settlers each year. We are also proud of our marching in which we have shown much improvement since we started in the fall of 1947. On November 18, 1947, we won second place in a parade held at Logansport, in connection with the balloon parade which opened the Christmas season. Phyllis Cole was drum majorette in 1947 and 1948. She was replaced this year by Peggy Starkey and three twirlers, Barbara Sanderson, Iudy Crone, ond Miriam Parks.
