As we entered our freshman year of growth, we elected for our leaders: Dick Carter, president; Conrad Burton, vice-president; Jack Fulton, secretary; Paul Shields, treasurer; and Jerry Albaugh, student council. Miss Metzger was our gardener. Having one year of growth behind us, we edged our way through the ground to start our sophomore year of growing. During this year three of our fellow bulbs were dug up and transplanted in other gardens of knowledge. We were now sixteen in number. Our leaders for this year of growth were: Conrad Burton, president; Jerry Albaugh, vice-president; Dean Isaacs, secretary; Eleanor Beam, treasurer; and Jack Fulton and Paul Shields, student council. Our gardener was Mr. Caughell. The next year we were really starting to grow as we entered our junior year of growth. As we started to bloom, we were distinguished from the rest of the flowers in the garden, for we took the shape and color of yellow roses. We found that again one of our bulbs had been transplanted to another garden of knowledge. We were now fifteen in number. Our leaders for our junior year of growth were: Jack Fulton, president; Jerry Albaugh, vice-president; Lois Talkington, secretary; Conrad Burton, treasurer; and Joan Draper, Paul Shields, and Dick Carter, student council. Our gardener was Mrs. Douglas. Now in our fourth year of growth we found we had lost another bulb and were now fourteen in number. So as we launched into our last year of growing, our leaders were: Conrad Burton, president; Mitchell Sanderson, vice-president; Laverne Wiles, secretary; Eleanor Beam, treasurer; and Jerry Albaugh, Jack Fulton, Dick Carter, and Shirley Shoff, student council. Mrs. Douglas was again our gardener. We are now full grown and full of the experiences and trials of growing up in the garden of knowledge. We leave behind us the wish that the rest of the class flowers will enjoy and appreciate their growth as we have. SENIOR CLASS WILL” Ladies! Gentlemen! I called you to assemble here as a solemn duty, that you, the heirs and assigns of my respected client, the class of 1950, may hear her last will and testament, which as her legal advisor, I drew as directed by her immediately prior to her passing from our presence. Attention — I shall begin! Quiet! Ahem! Ahem! We, the class of 1950, in the city of Flora, the State of Indiana, the country of America, being in good mental condition (as usual), in a much better temper than usual (considering what we’ve been through), do make this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void any heretofore made, or mayhap carelessly spoken, one to the other as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. To the Faculty, we leave a sense of relief, for at last we have graduated. To Mr. Callane, we leave an example of an ideal” Senior Class. To the jolly Juniors, we leave our ability to get along in government with just six books. To the silly Sophomores, we leave our ability to reach a majority vote in class meetings. To the green Freshmen, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence, and any apple cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left behind. I, WILLIAM HOWARD ADAMS, will my ability to go steady to Steven Mills. I. JERRY GENE AI.BAUGH, will my hand gestures to Donna Brubaker. I, ELEANOR FRANCES BEAM, will my ambition to have a career to Julia Shanks. I, CONRAD LEWIS BURTON, will my basketball ability to Kenny Porter. I, MARK RICHARD CARTER, will my scholastic ability to Malcolm Stanton. I, EFFIE DOUGLAS, will my ability to manage a stubborn bunch of seniors to the future senior sponsor. I, JOAN ELIZABETH DRAPER, will my ability to get A” in band to Dean Shoff. I, JACK WALLACE FULTON, will my ability to smile at certain sophomore and eighth grade girls to Donald Kilmer. I, DEAN ALBERT ISAACS, will my ability to attend school regularly to Lewis Mocherman. I, THOMAS D. JENKINS, will my height and physique to Gene Michael. I, MITCHELL L. SANDERSON, will my ability to flirt with girls to Bill Mann. I, JAMES NELSON SHARP, will my clear explanations on questions to Jean Nevin. I, PAUL ROBERT SHIELDS, will my eighth grade love affairs to Betty Isaacs. I, SHIRLEY BARBARA SHOFF, will my quiet ways and actions to Martha Humberd. I, LAVERNE ALTA WILES, will my riotious laugh to Donna Feltcnberger. In witness whereof, we, the class of 1950, the testator, have set our hand seal on the twenty-fifth day May in the year of 1950. Witnesses: Signed: TOM SERING CLASS OF ’50. OTTO PENN CLASS PROPHECY I am Jack-O,” the fabulous mystic fortune teller. I am, by request from a letter, sought out to see in my crystal ball what has happened to the fourteen wonders of the class of 1950. The first vision to come clear in my crystal ball is a girls’ soft-ball game. Guess who is manager and coach? None other than Jerry Albaugh. Jerry, who was unsuccessful in making the big league baseball, decided he would take second best and become a coach. P.S. Jean plays second base. As the vision becomes more clear, I see two hobos riding the rails on the local freight train. Why, I do believe it is Bill Adams and Conrad Burton. It seems that the boys were driven to this life because of women. Conrad couldn’t get along with his first six wives, and Bill decided women were evil to a good man. The next vision is a huge palace in Arabia. I’m told the emperor is none other than Mitch Sanderson. Mitch has a harem of ninety-four wives. He says he just couldn’t resist all women. One woman was boring to him. In the next vision, I see Senator Jim Sharp from Indiana, trying to pass a bill for pension for old-age farm animals. This is his fifth year trying to get this bill through. Well, what do you know? It couldn’t be true, but it is . . . Joan Draper and Laverne Wiles! They had set out to Hollywood to be in the movies, but it seems that they didn’t make it for they are now posing for the comic sketch, MUTT and JEFF. Next, I see an orphanage. Oh! Pardon me! It isn’t an orphanage. It is the residence of Paul Shields. Paul, who gave up the idea to be a newspaper editor, is now the proud father of seventeen children. He is manager of the local Tiddely-Winks Club. Pardon me for just a minute. The door bell just rang. Here I am again. It was a messenger from the Tom Jenkins Co. He wanted me to put up a poster, advertising: See us if you want to be tall.” It seems Tom must have grown since his high school days. In the next vision I see a jail house and a convict being given the third-degree by a tough detective. The one beating him is Dick Tracy” Carter, enemy of all crooks. Dick decided to become a policeman after someone stole one of his airplane engines. In the next vision I see the campus of Indiana University. The school has gained two new professors. Professor Eleanor Beam, professor of Physical Education, and Professor Shirley Shoff, who is in charge of the University’s wrestling team. The girls decided a career was more important than men. P.S. They both go with two of the University’s wrestlers. As the vision starts to become faint, I see a classroom in old F. H. S. The children seem to be without a teacher, but school has taken up an hour ago. No wonder. Their teacher is Mr. Dean Isaacs. It seems he forgot to get up again. Dean always did have that trouble. The last vision is the stage play, Rio Rita.” And guess who has the leading role? None other than Mrs. Effie Douglas. It seems that Mrs. Douglas was so influenced by teaching dramatics, that she thought she’d try the stage herself. What! You say I told you about only thirteen wonders. Oh! Yes, I almost forgot. I am the other wonder, Jack Fulton, also known as Jack-O the Fabulous Fortune Teller.” I was driven to this life by women. It seems I couldn’t understand them, so I thought the Crystal Ball might tell me. First row: Sue Landis, Marjorie Schncpf, Joe Fouts, Barbara Esserman, Bob Wingard, Roberta Allen.

FRESHMAN CLASS Thirty-two freshmen wandered into F. H. S. last September ready to conquer the world. Their viewpoint had changed somewhat after initiation. However, they proved to be good sports about it and the many other difficulties which Frosh inevitably encounter.

A-TEAM BASKETBALL First row: Student Manager Mitchell Sanderson, Dale Day, Don Bewley, Coach Risingcr, Paul Shields, Joe Fouts. Second row: Jerry Albaugh, Steven Mills, Charles Voorhees, Gene Michael, Jerry Jordan, Conrad Burton. Flora played the toughest basketball schedule that it has ever played in any previous year. Against such teams as Sheridan, Attica, Rossville, Culver, and West Lafayette, the Badgers never gave up until the final buzzer sounded. The team was also one of the most hard-fighting teams in the county. Coach Risinger’s boys fell before an undefeated Richland Center quintet in the Regional. The Badgers should be equally as good next year because they will lose only three of their players — Burton, Albaugh, and Shields.

They were a very good ball-handling team, and played many games which were exceptionally fine. They played many close games, a few of which were thrilling overtimes. They show good promise of helping to improve next year’s varsity team.

The team, under the tutelage of Coach Bob Curly Jarrett, has ended a very successful season by annexing the local Junior High County Tourney. The competition was at its best, but the little Badgers brought home the bacon. The freshman team, although beaten in many games, show promise of becoming better players in the future.

SENIOR BAND The band has played a vital part in the activities of the school the past year. The main job was to perform at the home basketball games, and they did a great job of pepping up the boys and the local crowd. They also aided in pep sessions and accompanied the twirlers during their floor shows. Included in the activities of the year was an exchange concert with the Delphi band. On February 8, the Delphi band came to Flora for a convocation. The next week, the Flora band journeyed to Delphi for a convocation there.

JARRETT With capable Connie Burton as president and let’s have fun Mr. Jarrett as sponsor, the Hi-Y Club has had an exceptionally successful year. The Hi-Y Club sent four officers to the Hi-Y training camp at Camp Tccumsch. Those attending were: President, Conrad Burton; Treasurer, Steve Mills; Chaplain, Ed Smith; Vice-President, Jerry Jordan; and Song Leader, Walter Kelly. Bill Mann also attended the camp. The success of the club can be attributed to the knowledge and experience encountered at the camp. A formal initiation, which was studied at the camp, was used to initiate the freshmen. Two district meetings were attended by the officers and members of the club. One was held at Logansport and the other at Kokomo. Many of the boys bought Hi-Y pins and guards to signify their positions in the club. The boys sold ice cream, candy, pop, and hot dogs during the County Tournament. Front row: M. McKinley, N.
