Frankfort High School - Cauldron Yearbook (Frankfort, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1945 volume:

The field of chemistry offers a challenge to those young men and women who wish to learn how to improve their surroundings. The young person of today derives relaxation from dancing and other recreations which take his mind off his work for a while. To youth must go the thanks of the civilized world for wresting it from the hands of those who would destroy decency. , � . W'-r - s ltfs for its. salvation. Wd We are the youth, and the world is lookinjg tgfa have been entrusted with the tremendous task qf re-establishing order out of the chaos of war. Into our hands has been Haded the torch of civilisation with which we must light the way for the futufe generations.' : The record of youth throughout the entire cqurse of the war has be n one of distinguished service and unselfish demotion, to the cause of righteous,-, ness.

Max-on. treasurer; Lance H. Harland, secretary. JU, m in is Ira tion Dr. Waldo Emerson Wood, Superintendent of City Schools 8 Under the progressive leadership of Mr. Rice our principal, the school system has undergone changes that were necessary in keeping abreast of the times. Mr. Rice has gained the friendship and respect- of both the student body and faculty. His cheerful smile and friendly nature make dealing with him a pleasure. The duties of a principal are many, and they require the utmost in patience and time. In spite of this fact, Mr. Rice is never too busy to aid a student in solving a problem or to cooperate with a member of the faculty on any matter of importance. Mr. Rice is out of his office much of the time personally attending to some of his many duties in various parts of the school plant. This aggressiveness on his part indicates a strong feeling of responsibility in seeing that the school is managed properly. Mr. Rice has placed restrictions on the students only when it was necessary in order to maintain the dignity and self-respect of the school as a whole. This exemplifies his policy. He is firm but always fair. Top left to right: Raymond Rohrabaugh, dean of boys; Mrs. Oma Heaton, dean of girls; Dale Shanks, attendance officer.

The autumn of 1940 saw us enter Frankfort High School apprehensive but very determined eighth graders. We were determined to distinguish ourselves in the eyes of the faculty during the next five years. We strove to establish an enviable record which we could leave behind us with pride. The next year marked the beginning of our many eventful and happy days spent in high school. To aid us in our progress, we chose Mr. Swearingen for our class sponsor. Our class officers were: Jack Longfellow, president; Carol Grafton, vice-president; Eunice Johnson, secretary; and Mary Jane Pogue, treasurer. Under the aggressive leadership of our sponsor, we made up baskets of food which were distributed to the needy on Christmas. We discovered that there is more satisfaction to be gained by giving than by receiving. In 1942, we became sophomores. We were coming up in the world. Miss Hinman became our sponsor and the class elected Carol Grafton, president; Charles Weaver, vice-president; Martha Mattix, secretary; and Mary Jane Pogue again became our treasurer. 14 By this time, the war was in full swing and all of us had to rearrange our lives to fit the war-time pattern. This was especially true of our class, for we were cautioned to get our class sweaters while the necessary material was yet available. The class met to choose brown and white as the colors. Thus we became the first sophomore class to have class sweaters. In our junior year, we had the guidance of three sponsors, Miss Sanders, Mr. Pace, and Miss Keeney. Our class officers were: Guy Smith, president; John Wilson, vice-president; Pat Buchannan, secretary; and Susan Wade, treasurer. Two juniors distinguished themselves and our class by winning first and third places in the Sallie May Byers speech contest. Few juniors have ever won first place in this contest. The most important social event of the entire year is the annual Junior Prom. Our Prom was held May 12 in Howard Hall. The theme was a Spanish Fiesta. As the fall of 1944 rolled around, we found ourselves seniors. At last, after twelve long years, we had reached our goal. In this, our last and most important year of high school, we were given excellent council by our four competent sponsors. Miss Campbell, Mr. Rice, Miss Kearns, and Mr. Rohr-abaugh. The class elected Tom Frushour, president; Jack Longfellow, vice-president; Coralie Cook, secretary; and Sanford Aidman, treasurer. Our class sponsored the first dance to be given that year. This added needed funds to our treasury which was destined to bear a heavy burden throughout the year. About the middle of the first semester, a contest, to promote the sale of war bonds and stamps, was held between the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The contest lasted four weeks and was won by our class. One of the most difficult tasks confronting us, as well as other senior classes, was the publication of the Cauldron. The staff, chosen from members of the class, worked diligently to produce a Cauldron in which both our class and the school could take pride. Baccalaureate services were held May 20, and our high school career ended with commencement exercises, May 24. The Class of 1945 is emerging from high school into a war-torn world, which for the last three and one-half years has devoted its energies to destruction instead of construction. It will be our task, when peace comes, to help in the rebuilding of a new and better world. — Seniors Top Row Sanford Aidman Sandy —Science. Technical. Jr. Red Cross. '44. '45; Forum '43, '44.

There were innumerable photographs to be taken, much explanatory matter to be written, and extensive arrangements made for selling the finished product. The Cauldron staff worked smoothly under the direction of Miss Kearns, the faculty advisor. Joan Meifeld was chosen editor-in-chief and was ably assisted by Carol Grafton. To Reardon Rowe fell the task of seeing that the many photographs were taken and accounted for. His assistant was Mary Jane Pogue. All of the art work was handled by Janet Griffith, who was assisted by Phyllis Bogan. Tim Jones and Newton Beatty replaced Sanford Aidman as business managers after his graduation in mid-year. Tom Sloan was sales manager. All writing was under the direction of William Birkett, who was aided by Jane Ransom. Susan Wade was snapshot editor, and she was assisted by Yvonne Triece. Martha Mattix was activities editor. Her assistant was Jo Ann Moriarty. Those matters having to do with underclassmen were directed by Mary Jane O'Neill, who was assisted by Wilma Malicoat and Jean Cooley. That section of the Cauldron which concerned itself with sports was edited by Guy Smith. Guy's assistant was Bob Hall. It was Peggy Jacob's duty to see that all of the clubs of F. H. S. were represented. All of the typing was capably done by Robert Huffer and Mary Pippenger. The above mentioned students have worked diligently in order to produce a year book in which, not only the senior class, but the entire high school could take pride. The group worked together in perfect harmony, and, although there was a tremendous amount of work to be done in a limited time, they had the time of their lives. Mr. Rice acted as faculty advisor in charge of all business relating to the Cauldron. Mr. Swearingen was the official photographer. The many pictures throughout this book bear witness to his fine work. 29 llllllllllllll rn Photo graphy A ornmg Alai } and C -jeej« Ct cA hs 1o e Girt Sprouts CLu Offi icerA Junior—Paul Conrad, David Friend, Bill Stephens, and Gloria Goodnight Sophomore—John Tedford, Jim Pogue, and Phil Cougil Freshman—Bill Ransom, Marilyn Lane, and Boyce Lucas Eighth Grade—George Goodnight, Jackie Mincemoyer, Sue Chittick, and Dick Stine 32 uniord First Row: Lester Aaron, Ray Allen, Patty Aughe, Charles Ayers.

The STUDENT COUNCIL exemplifies the American ideal of representative government. Never before in our history has a full understanding of the workings of democracy been so necessary as it is today. This applies particularly to the younger generation from whom will come future leaders of our nation. Those who are to lead our country over the rocky uncertain road ahead must acquire a deep understanding and a sincere appreciation of our American system of government. This can be gotten, for the most part, from our schools. The Student Council of F. H. S., besides carrying its regular duties, has accepted several other obligations. It sponsors the regular Wednesday night dances and also those held on Friday nights which have not been assigned to another class or organization. It publishes the Blue Book which contains information of a general nature relating to the high school. It awards medals to a boy and a girl in the graduating class who are selected as the best all-around school citizens by a committee made up of underclassmen and faculty members. Perhaps the most important and worthwhile assignment the Student Council has undertaken was the sponsoring of a number of convocations throughout the year featuring out-of-town speakers. The programs presented ranged in subject matter from humor to serious discussions of world affairs. The officers of the Student Council for this year were: Marvin Mann, president; Harold McMurtry, vice-president; and Tom Sloan, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Rice is the sponsor. 46 Students who have had at least two years of mathematics are eligible for membership in the MATH CLUB. It is the purpose of this organization to promote a greater knowledge and appreciation of higher mathematics and to study calculating devices along with mathematics. Miss Della Maud Sanders, head of the math department, is sponsor of the club. Officers for the first semester were: Sanford Aidman, president; Reardon Rowe, vice-president; Bill Lowe, secretary; and Bob Hall, treasurer. Those for the second semester were: Reardon Rowe, president; Jack Longfellow, vice-president; Charles Kirkpatrick, secretary; and Ed Jonson, treasurer. The JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL has been in existence only since the beginning of school last September. This group is made up of eighth grade home room presidents and vice-presidents. Their chief task this year was the drafting of a constitution. The officers for the first semester were: George Goodnight, president; Dick Stine, vice-president; Jacqueline Mincemoyer, secretary; and Sue Chittick, treasurer. The first semester Council pictured above was composed of the following: Mitzie Gaffney, Jacqueline Mincemoyer, Mary Whitmore, Joan Spurgeon, Joan Newbold, Donna Tankersley, Sue Chittick, George Goodnight, Morrill Morrison, Gerald Villars, Ned Hodge, Joe Mechem, Phil Harker, Dick Stine, and Edward Baer. Tommy Carter is not in the picture. The second semester Council was as follows: Judith Agnew, Edward Baer, Wilma Benge, John Dillman, Phil Harker, Donald Howard, Donald McCord, Jackie Lee Payne, Richard Thornton, Bonnie Wainscott, Fred Carter, Roberta Coulter, Marian Rash, Sam Triece, and Mary Jane Wolf. 47 On the third Monday of each month, 255 girls gather in the auditorium to attend a meeting of the SUNSHINE SOCIETY. With a spirit of helpfulness uppermost in their minds, the members of the club accomplish much in the way of service to others. This organization is always one of the first to support any worth-while cause in the school. Each year, the members decorate Christmas trees for the halls. They make an annual contribution to Riley Hospital in Indianapolis and manage the upkeep of Sallie May Byers' grave. This year, the Sunshine Society in cooperation with the Hi-Y bought the two flags which stand at either end of the service roster case. Girls wearing the white aprons of the society are a familiar and welcome sight at the games. This, the handling of concessions at basketball games, is their chief source of revenue. The Sunshine Society has the honor of being the oldest club in the high school. It was organized in 1911 by a small group of girls. The first sponsor was Miss Anna Claybaugh, and the first president was Ruth Morrison, now Mrs. George Randolph. Miss Hattie Campbell has been sponsor of the organization since 1920 and has seen it grow into the largest club in the high school. 48 The business of the society is transacted through its committees, which function separately. Programs follow the state schedule and deal with various phases of school life. Because of war time restrictions, the mothers' tea has been omitted for the past two years. But this year it was again held in the early spring. The candle light initiation service, held every fall for the new members, is an outstanding event of the year for all members. All girls in the ninth grade and beyond are eligible for membership. Officers of the society were as follows: president, Mary Jane Pogue; vice-president, Jeanne Long; recording secretary, Jessie Hackerd; treasurer, Beverly Thompson; and corresponding secretary. Phyllis Bogan. In the lower right hand corner Miss Campbell is pictured with the officers. The Sunshine Society provides a scholarship fund which aids some worthy member in furthering her education. Each society in the county contributes ten dollars. The one hundred dollars contributed by the ten societies in Clinton County went to Betty Lou Rice, a member of the 1944 graduating class. The HI-Y was formed to create and maintain high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. The members hope to reach their goal of sacrificial manhood through these four mediums: health betterment; mental development; spiritual enrichment; and service achievement. This organization i s well known in the school and in the community for its many activities of a social nature. The members attend the various churches in a body once a month. This encourages religious tolerance and makes for a better understanding of religion as a whole. The club makes annual donations to worthy charities and helps needy students with books and clothing. Some very interesting and worthwhile discussions concerning social problems are held by club members during their weekly meetings. Discussions of this type are essential in paving the way for badly needed social reform. The Hi-Y sponsored a formal dance last fall to raise funds for their various activities.

The STACCATO CLUB is composed of girls who are enrolled in either vocal or instrumental music. Its chief purpose is to stimulate interest in good music. A spring formal dance is the chief social event of the year. Members are given the opportunity to perform individually and to develop their talents. The club was organized twenty-four years ago and since has developed into one of the most popular of the school organizations. Miss Nixon sponsored the group whose officers were: De-lores Corbett, president, and Betty Lucas, treasurer. Members of the boys' glee club and girls from the senior group compose the CHOIR. Miss Nixon has been choir director for the past nine years. The choir sang for the State Teachers Association and has appeared on several Purdue broadcasts. In the spring the group was host to the district choral festival. A trip to the state choral festival, which meets in Indianapolis annually, was one cf the high spots of the year. The blue robed group sing all types of musical selections. 55 No athletic event or pep session would be complete without the BAND to lend color and add its enthusiasm. The Frankfort High School Band under the direction of Mr. Aubrey Thomas was very active this year. In the fall, F. H. S. made a broadcast over station WASK from the auditorium. The band was an important feature on this program. Toward the close of school a spring concert was given. Several members represented Frankfort High School at a contest held in Terre Haute on March 24. In addition to this, the Band marched on several important occasions. In years past, this organization has taken prizes in competition with other bands over the state. This year there were seventy-two members who make an impressive appearance in their navy blue uniforms trimmed in a lighter shade of blue and in white. The six majorettes pictured above are as follows: Phyllis Reed, Joan Sentz, Grace Davey, Colleen Eaton, Betty Applegate and Barbara Spray. Another group in the music department worthy of our notice was the high school STRING QUARTET composed of David Friend, first violin; Martha Mattix, second violin; Martha Green, viola; and Barbara Emery, cello. This group which began work the first week of school, under the direction of Miss Virginia Keeney, furnished music for a number of school and community meetings during the year. These meetings included the following: the Riley Fair, Kiwanis Club, Presbyterian Church Study Group, War Mothers, D. A. R., two school Christmas programs, Center Township Home Economics Club, a Farm Loan Association banquet, Junior Finde Siecle Circle, the Eastern Star Banquet for Grand Worthy Matron, and Riley P. T. A. Other activities were the spring string concert and the senior class play.

The field of athletics offers the young person an opportunity to build a strong body through various forms of recreation. Uarditu Glen Byrne, regular right guard, was a senior who will be sorely missed next year. Glen, a letterman from last season, made it very tough on any opposing backs. Bill Templeton was our starting left halfback in the '44 season. His long runs brought fans to their feet many times. This was Bill's last year at F. H. S. Gene Blacklidge, regular left guard, was a senior this year. His vicious tackles were a menace to the opponents who dared run over his side of the line. Don Young was our hardworking reserve fullback. His spirited play kept the regulars hustling to hold their starting positions. Don was also a senior this season. Paul Conrad, a junior, was a reserve full back this year. Paul specializes in punting and will be a great help to next year's team. Johnny Sipe, high stepping right halfback, was a dependable regular all season. His lightning speed often caught opponents off guard. Johnny is only a sophomore. Bob Hall won all-state honors at his end position and was a constant menace to opposing backs. He was selected captain by his teammates at the close of the season. Tom Frushour also won all-state honors. His hard charging at tackle made it easier for Frankfort backs. Tom was a senior and has been a regular for the past two years. Bob Baer was our substitute at the end position. He played in most of the games and showed fine ability in snagging passes. Bob was a senior this year. Don Ayres— Ayrsie was the field general of the team. He was a hard-driving, fast-thinking quarterback, and he'll be back next year to call the signals for the Nighthawks. Eugene Sibray— Si” was the old man of the team. Completing his third year oh the varsity, Si was hindered most of the year because of a knee injury. He is a hard plunging fullback. Sanford Aidman— Sandy was perhaps the hardest worker on the team. He was a hard hitting tackle and always a demon to opposing backs. His best game was against Logansport. This was his last year. Dick Bratton— Brat was a fast hard-running reserve back. This was his first and last year on the varsity. He was a good offensive player, and his place will be hard to fill. Wayne Wainscott—Although playing his first year of varsity ball, Wayne was a first string end. He was a great pass catcher, and he played his best game against Kokomo. He was a senior. Charles Yauch— Yatch was an excellent reserve end. He was very aggressive and a hawk on pass catching. He'll be missed next year. John Tedford—Johnny played first string center this year. He was the brute of the team as any Jeff player will tell you. He is only a sophomore, and Coach Rohrabaugh expects great things from him in the next two years. Phil Bohr—This was Phil's first year of varsity football. He played guard and was a handy reserve. Too bad he was a senior. Don Fuller—Don was a hard charging reserve tackle. His alertness, speed, and vicious tackles have meant a loss for many teams. Great things are expected from him next year. Richard Hamilton— Doc was the sparkplug of the team. This was his first year of varsity ball, and he showed great promise for next year. He was reserve center and played several games this year. Front (L to R): Bob Fudge, Dalton Manges, Bill Rush, Bill Ruby, Bob Van Tyle, James Johnson, Bob Irick, Laird Jacoby, Arthur George.

Forty-two boys answered the call to FRESHMAN FOOTBALL this year. Of these, thirty-three finished a successful season. They went undefeated against strictly freshman teams, but they lost three games to teams composed of varsity substitutes. This was their introduction to the gridiron sport, and they all worked hard. Competition for starting positions was high all season, and they soon solved the intricate T formation. Manges and the Bushman boys, Virgil and Dick, looked very good at the guard positions. Bradley Blickenstaff quarterbacked the team smartly and was a great defensive player. Bill Ransom looked like varsity caliber at center. Cougill and Hall were outstanding at the halfback position. Van Tyle, who suffered a broken arm in midseason, was a hard fighter until his injury took him out of the lineup. Ruby and Roush gave promise of being great tackles next fall. Rice, Mettlen, and Irick, who held down the end assignments well, gave promise of making a passing game click next fall. The freshmen should be congratulated on their fighting spirit and sportsmanship which they have inherited from Frankfort teams of the past. These boys will be fighting it out for varsity positions next fall and most of them will make it. 62 1944 FRANKFORT FOOTBALL SCHEDULE September 8 Crawfordsville H 14- 0 September 12 Jeff of Lafayette T 6-25 September 15 Richmond H 6-19 September 29 Logansport H 14-13 October 6 Kirklin H 25- 0 October 13 Jeff of Lafayette H 7-14 October 20 Kokomo T 12-21 October 25 West Side T 0-14 Responsible for the fighting teams Frankfort had throughout the year are the four men pictured below. These men instilled a spirit into the team that made every game interesting whether we won or lost. Dorwin Dick, standing left, new to Frankfort High this year, was head track coach and assistant football coach. In the short time he has been here, he has gained the respect and friendship of the students and faculty. Wayne Shockney, standing right, was our intramural director. His program provided enjoyment for all athletic minded students. Under his leadership, intramural basketball became tremendously popular. More boys participated this year than ever before. Raymond Rohrabaugh, seated left, was head football coach and eighth grade basketball coach this season. Buck also scouted the opposing basketball teams. Lawrence Farrell, seated right, was our varsity basketball coach. His craftiness and spirit was an insurmountable barrier to our opponents. 63 'Uarsity Dick Hamilton, the team's clown, played regular guard most of the season. “Doc's big moment came against Roseville, when he dumped in 8 field goals. This effort easily put him on the all sectional team. Eugene Sibray, clever guard, was plagued with injuries throughout the season. “Si got back in action in time to help the Hot Dogs in tournament play. He'll be back next year. Kenneth Murphy played reserve forward for the Fighting Five this season. Kenny was one of the best shots on the team. This was his last year. Bill Miller was our fighting little guard. He played regular most of the season and drew the toughest guarding assignments. He was only a junior. Reardon Rowe played reserve guard this year. This was his first year on the varsity. He made the boys work hard in practice sessions. Glen Byrne, reserve guard, played his best game against Oxford in the regional. He was a senior and finished his second year on the varsity. Wayne Wainscott was the reserve center. He was a good rebounder and played good ball when he was sent into the game. He was also a senior. Phil Livezy was a reserve guard this year. Phil dropped in the free throw which proved to be the winning margin against Jeff in the regionals. He was a senior. Lewis Edmonds also gained the all regional team at forward. Louie was the team's high point getter all year. His best game was against Kirklin, when he broke loose for 28 points. Bob Baer, dependable substitute forward, was one of the hardest workers on the team. He was a senior. He will be missed next year. Bill Stephens, big junior guard, played his first year on the varsity this year. His rebounding was a headache to the opposition. Bob Woods Timber to Frankfort basketball fans, was voted all regional center as he bowed out o! his high school basketball career. Bob, at 6 4 , was the star rebound man for the team this season and was elected honorary captain. Charles Green was new to Frankfort High this year, but managed to make the varsity. He was substitute forward and showed plenty of drive when he was called upon. He was a junior. Gene Gosewehr, reserve guard, of whom much is expected next year was a junior and will be fighting hard for a starting berth next season. Top, seated: John Robison. James Poaue. Harold Schimmel. Johnny Sioe. Bob Ro«s. Bill Chittick, Phil Cougill. standing: Gene Fancher, Ray Allen, Donald Clark, Tom Rice. Don Milne. John Henning. Bottom, seated: Donald Van Tyle, Dalton Mangis, Merrill Fishback, Jack Bewsey, Jack Leininger, Jerry McIntosh, Bob Irick, Kenneth Lucas, Bill Dossett. Standing: Bob Strange. Bill Ransom, Roy Coy, Charles Kreisher. Everett Smith. Don Wheeler. Phil Randolph. Along with some of the veterans held over from this year's varaity, a large portion of next year's team will be made up of our B TEAM stars. Coach Farrell trained them well. The team had a fairly successful season this year and is already looking forward to next year. The team showed the usual Frankfort spirit. It will be difficult to attempt naming a starting five for they are all hard working boys. Ayres and Allen were the sharpshooters of the team. Sipe and Schimmel were the boys who drew the defensive assignments. Little Jimmy Pogue was the team's sparkplug and fighter. Don Clark was the center and chief rebound man. Many of the future ''Fighting Five will come from this year's FRESHMAN TEAM. This year the team was very well coached by Mr. Dor win Dick. The future Hot Dogs were handicapped by lack of height, but they more than made up for this defect by their excellent ball handling and defensive work, ‘the scoring was equally divided among the regular five- Irick. McIntosh, Ransom, Van Tyle, and Randolph. Mr. Dick had many able substitutes who scored when points were needed. The boys absorbed the fundamentals of the game and had a better than average season. c •; Frankfort's Fighting Five, again lived up to its tradition of startling wins in tournament play. After a mediocre season, in which they showed several signs of greatness, the Hot Dogs rose to the heights in tournament play to defeat the highly rated Rossville Hornets and Lafayette's Bronchos. However, Farrell's Five fell an easy prey to a veteran Oxford team, which managed to hang on to an early lead and stall away the game, as the Hot Dogs tried frantically to tie up the score. The team closed the season with a record of fourteen victories against nine losses. Highlights of the season were: the largest sectional crowd ever to jam its way into Howard Hall, and the good feeling of the county teams toward Frankfort; although the Fighting Five met and defeated three of their best quintets. Lewis Edmonds was given first berth at forward on all the honor teams selected all season. Bob Woods was all-sectional and all-regional center, and Dick Hamilton made all-sectional and all-regional guard. Eugene Sibray, out all season with a knee injury, returned to the squad in time for tourney play. Bill J. Miller, who filled in for the veteran Sibray in an excellent manner, injured his shoulder and did not get to play in the regional. Bill Stephens probably showed the most improvement in his play. Frankfort High School students can well be proud of this year's Fighting Five. Mr. Farrell worked hard and so did the boys. They never gave up until the game was over, but when it was they were the first to congratulate the opposing players. With the benefit of excellent spring weather, Frankfort tracksters were able to get into fine condition for the tough schedule they faced this season. Coach Dick, in his first year at F. H. S., was faced with rebuilding a team that was wrecked with graduation. He worked hard with the underclassmen in an effort to build better teams for the future. More and more interest is being shown in this sport each year, and Mr. Dick is planning to turn out some champions. Spectators enjoyed watching the home meets from the Stott Field bleachers, which provided a clean close-up view of the action. In the dashes the main speedsters for Frankfort were Sipe, Shanks, Rowe, Fuller, and Walker. Sipe, Rowe, and Shanks were especially fast and picked several points in the major meets this year. The team was well fortified in the longer runs with Pogue, Edmonds, Robison, Robertson, Col-grove, Hite, Strange, Paddock, and Chittick doing their best to help Frankfort win a select place among Indiana's Class A track contingents. Contestants for the hurdle positions included Walker, Byrne, Rowe, Blickenstaff, Krug, Hite, and Stewart. Byrne and Rowe, veterans of last year's track squad, could really bum up the cinders in this event. 66 Byrne, Rice, and Tedford were the mainstays in the high jump. The shot putters included Ted-ford, Cook, Thompson, and Mann. Tedford, a sophomore, gave promise of things to come with several long heaves. Pole vaulters for the squad were Conrad, Cougill, and Krug. In the broad jump where Frankfort has always been fairly well represented, were Sipe, Schultz, Shanks, Stewart, and Blicken-staff. All bid for an F sweater. A tentative schedule for Hie season listed duel meets with Jeff and Fowler here and West Side and Crawfordsville away from home. Plans were made for triangular meets with Delphi and Lo-gansport at Delphi and Tipton and Elwood. The Big Ten meet was run off at Technical of Indianapolis. Frankfort sent its colors to Lafayette to battle for the Central Indiana championship. The sectional was also scheduled for Lafayette. On May 19th the state was witnessed at Indianapolis. This season the schedule was tough and the boys worked hard to show up creditably. As most of the squad were underclassmen, Frankfort can look forward to a more successful season next year. 69 Physical fitness is being stressed in Frankfort High School and has become increasingly popular. Under the supervision of Miss Le Hew and Mrs. Turner the girls have enthusiastically participated in various sports. Reared in the atmosphere of the blue and white and educated in the shadows of state champions, the girls play BASKETBALL like professionals. One, Two, Three, Four — that's the signal for CALISTHENICS to begin. Despite the fact that it is the least popular activity it's first on the day's schedule. Remarkable improvement has been made in this field. Endurance tests are given periodically. VOLLEYBALL rates as tops , the favorite sport. The tourney was one of the big events of the school year. The sound of gay laughter, music, and dancing feet often penetrates the halls. The reason is that members of the girls' gym classes are FOLK DANCING. A fast moving HOCKEY game makes a period whiz by. It is seldom played because it is so rough, but it always results in grand fun. BASEBALL teams are organized as soon as classes begin to move out of doors. The friendly rivalry reaches a peak in this sport of sports. Armed with a bow and some arrows the blue clad girls like to develop their skill in marksmanship; so ARCHERY gets under way. When spring fever is in the air, out comes the BADMINTON racquet and shuttle cock. Playing this graceful game polishes up the summer tennis technique. Jn m emoricwi Mr. Vance Curtis, for eleven years a member of the Frankfort High School faculty, died Friday, February 23, at Bluffton Hospital. The administrative ability of Mr. Curtis was recognized by all who had occasion to come into contact with him. At one time he was vice-president of the Indiana State Teachers Association, and at the time of his death he was a member of the executive board of the Frankfort Teachers Federation. Nearly all of the students became acquainted with Mr. Curtis through his position as personnel director of the school. In this capacity he was able to give valuable advice to any confused boy or girl who would seek his aid. Mr. Curtis won many friends by his quiet, unassuming nature and his friendly smile. He will be remembered by students and faculty alike for his desire to help others. In paying tribute to his memory, Mr. Rice said: We will miss Mr. Curtis. All of us who worked with him will remember his sincerity, loyalty and cooperation. We will remember his interest in all of the school's work and play; his willingness to assist in any school project; and his interest in community affairs. Those who were his students will remember his friendliness and courtesy, his willingness to stop whatever he was doing at the moment to help arrange a schedule, plan a course, or to help find someone a job. His interest in students extended beyond school hours and school terms. We will miss him. Frankfort High School has lost a teacher, and we who remain have lost a friend. The Cauldron staff wishes to acknowledge its gratitude and appreciation to the Leader Engraving and Printing Co.; the Shelby Crafto Co.; Mr. Lavergne Lounsbury; and Mr. Paul Swearingen, the photographer.
