Does Libby hope that someone will follow in her footsteps? I remember all of the expenses that went with my senior year . . . name cards, pictures, caps and gowns, commencement announcements, and our gift to the school. Early February found us traveling by chartered bus to the State Legislature with the juniors. As the year whizzed by, the months shortened into weeks, and the weeks into days until the familiar strains of Pomp and Circumstance were heard and we walked slowly down the aisle.

Sponsor; Carolyn Marley Treasurer; Bill Shaffer. President; Murray Langston, Vice President; Gerald Clingenpeel, Secretary. I remember starting off my junior year in a whirl. Money was the only thing in our minds since our treasury was deflated at that time. For money-making projects we had a car wash at Berkey’s Dairy, a sale of memory books, and our play A Lucky Penny. Play practice took up many study nights, but we later agreed it had been worth it. Keeping secret the how's, when's, where’s, and why’s of the prom was a big task. 30 Jane Adams Max Allen Jerry Berkey Frances Burnham Joe Clawson Gerald Clingenpeel Sonia Cook Don Collins Mary Ann Cripe Wilma Disinger Sharon Garrison Bud Jackson Madonna Jordan Murray Langston Jim Lyons Carolyn Marley Georgia McKinley Louanne McKinley Tom McKinley Raymond Murphy Carolyn Pope joy Marion Riggle, Jr. Bob Ryan Marthena Schenck Nancy Schnieb Mary Jo Scott Bill Shaffer Mary Jo Thompson Larry Ward Nancy Wilson Missing—Judy Pitzer 31 The class heads: David Reeve, Sponsor; Eddie Angle, Vice President; Jerry Fouts, President; Deanna Pressler, Treasurer; Brenda McKinley, Secretary. ing and Queen of Basketball, Jerry Fouts and Joyce Bur n, reign over the dance held in their honor. I remember my sophomore year, a second stab at trying to be part of F. H. S. After drubbing the freshmen through supposedly untold misery, we settled down to ordering and receiving class rings which were the prettiest yet. By having a King and Queen dance and basketball game between seniors and faculty we were striving to increase our treasury for future reception expenses. 32 Bill Calhoun Harold Craft Mary Jane Crook Tom DeVinney Richard Fife Dawn Flora Jerry Fouts Nancie Garrison Teddy Garrison Jerry Jenkins Jim Jenkins Jim Kirkpatrick Marcia Langston Brenda McKinley Pat Meade Beverly Mocherman Richard Murray Dean Peterson Donita Peterson Deanna Pressler Bonnie Renick Beverly Root Martha Schnepf Roberta Simmons Freida Stephenson Dick Stonebraker Margaret Sturdivant Carol West John Wiles Billy Young 33 High school problem children: Jane Ann Jones, President; Runella Blocher, Secretary; Bobby Johnson, Vice President; Sue Landis, Treasurer; and -perplexed Kenneth Cooke, Sponsor. We enjoy (?) eating fishworms at initiation. I remember the ecstasy of finally becoming a part of the high school, namely a lowly freshman. Initiation being over, we proceeded into subjects which we knew nothing about: algebra (x ?) and biology (coleaptra and dyptera). The dance we had for the sophomores made the two classes feel closer. We felt that we had actually arrived when we joined Sunshine, Hi-Y, and chorus. Suppressed home-room impulses: One of these days pow! right in the kisser! 34 Jim Barnes Peggy Barnes Merlin Berkey Runella Blocher Ronnie Brower Jerry Burns Fred Collins Harold Collins Don Craft Nancy Eller Jerry Ensinger Kenneth Flora Rodney Lee Flora Rodney Paul Flora Bob Johnson Jane Ann Jones Bonnie Sue Landes Sue Landis Gene Lantz Donald Loveland Richard Loveland Geraldine Moore Jim Mosier Gary Mullendore Judy Northcutt Ned Parrett Barbara Pritts Beverly Pritts Shirley Randle Bill Roth Melvin Schroeder Jeanette Skiles Becky Smith Joyce Stayer Carl Wagoner Sally Watson Harold Whitfield Madonna Whistler Dick Wilcox Keith Wilson Imogene Young Max Young Missing Glen Reed Flossie Darling Launa Carter 35 C iy it i Jrac e e Roger Beckner Connie Briggs V fat O a ' '■rift 4k ' -.

I remember rehearsing for our class plays, initiating new club members, earning money for band uniforms, and exhausting hours spent at basketball practice. But most of all when I think back to those days so long ago, I remember those weeks we worked on the best prom ever.” tucfeni Cjounctf I remember the governing group of our school and the many projects they sponsored. Former F. H. S. students gave tips on college life. A Negro educator from Mississippi told us of the conditions among the underprivileged people of his race. Former speech students of Mrs. Hawkins, as well as our own speech class, gave highly entertaining programs. We were made conscious of clean halls as the student council inspected the halls and lockers each day. Upper: Former grads advise upperclassmen about college life. Lower: Somebody goofed!

We worked hard to give the students news covering the year’s events. This included everything from sports to grade news—with a dash of humor for good measure. Themes and poems for each issue were provided by the English department. To those classes who subscribed 100% we gave a treat. At Christmas we also treated our subscribers with candy bars. Upper: Our labor helps to produce the School Daze. Lower: Santa helped us treat our subscribers at Christmas. 47 Tfi.y I remember my years as a Hi-Y member. Some of our programs were: panel discussions led by some of our members; Glen Lantz, Devere Hoffman, and Charles Meade explained new basketball rules; and Rev. Charles Turner spoke on Decisions. We donated to the Hi-Y scholarship fund and at Christmas we gave money to the Psi Iota Xi for the Santa Claus fund. We bought and helped decorate a large Christmas tree which was placed in the main hall for all to enjoy. Upper: We decorated the hall at Christmas with the assistance of the Sunshine girls.

Our speakers included Rev. Carl Reppert, Mrs. Earl Trent, B. K. Rose, Mrs. C. N. Wilson, and Wilbur Lane. Patty Flora, 54, was one of four Sunshine members in the state who won a four-year nurse s scholarship. We w'ere very honored that an F. H. S. student won this awrard. We sold Christmas cards for a money-making project and had charge of the concessions at the noon hour and home ball games. At Christmas instead of exchanging gifts, we sent our money to the Riley Hospital and had a grab bag for ourselves. Upper: Janet Berkey places a candle at formal initiation. Lower: Blind-folded freshmen try to pop balloons the hard way. 49 I remember my junior high years as a Sun Ray member. We worked hard under Mrs. Murphy’s sponsorship to fit ourselves to become Sunshine members. Our programs included talks by Mrs. Charles Dumond, Mrs. Amelia Haimes, and Mrs. Robert Julius; a movie on manners; and a Christmas party. To help in the polio drive, we sold crutches on a Saturday in February. This was the first year that we have been recognized as a state organization by the Sunshine Society.

We had a high individual in most of the contests that we entered. Due to our high scores as a team in the county contests, we were eligible to enter the District Poultry and Egg Contest and the Crop Judging. One of our members applied for the Hoosier Farmer degree in F. F. A, For projects we did some soil testing and studied farm improvement at some of our members' homes.

We sold gas and household articles, had an eating stand at the fair, sold magazine subscriptions, had a ham and bean supper, and received generous donations. We led the Halloween parade in a cold wind—and brother, was it cold! We played at pep sessions, home basketball games, in the Spring Festival at Camden, and finally at Commencement. Our annual spring concert provided a good opportunity to show off our new uniforms. Upper: Wash until you see the whites of their eyes was our motto as we earned money for band uniforms.

CBoos er GfuS I remember our Booster Club and the many pep sessions we had before ball games to boost our team’s morale. Encouraged by the cheerleaders, we yelled our loudest and learned many new yells and songs. We piled into buses (and nearly went broke paying bus fare) and traveled long miles on snowy nights to out-of-town games. We wore white shirts and blouses to conference games and did our best to back the team, to uphold good sportsmanship, and to keep school spirit high. i Upper: We go wild when the going gets rough. Lower: Boss-man turns yell leader for the day. Bernadine Patrick, David Whipple, Sue Shope, Jimmy Eller, and Pauline Peterson salute the flag. I remember the impressive flag-raising ceremony at home games. While the band played The Star Spangled Banner,” the majorettes and two scouts came to attention. A new flag was given to the school by Rex Day. The cheerleaders worked hard to keep our spirits high and did their best to support the teams at all times regardless of the score. One of our favorite yells was: There's a reason to buy; there’s a reason to sell; There's a‘ reason why every Badger should yell. So shout, Badgers, shout HALLELUJAH! Shout, Badgers, shout HALLELUJAH!

We were a confident and well-coached team, and we all worked hard to prove it so by winning the first four games. Then we met with one of the oldest rivals of the Badgers—Logansport. The game was a thriller all the way. Though we led until the final seconds, we lost by two points—and was it a hcartbrcaker! We traveled to West Lafayette and saw the second defeat which lost us a chance for the conference title. We finally got back into the winning streak, coming out on top in the next ten games. We won the Holiday Tourney at Camden for the second consecutive year by defeating Forest and Mulberry in two close games. We went home with a fine-looking, well-deserved trophy. Our only defeat in our own gym was by our bitter rival, Sheridan, in a nip and tuck battle. 56 Left to right: Jerry Jenkins, Student Manager; Kearns, D.
