Our year was spent getting acquainted with all the new miners and adjusting ourselves to our new trails. Eagerly we trudged through the year which was started by a party given to us by the sophomores. Becoming prospectors with one year of searching behind us, we continued searching. We got our miners ' badges (class pins), had a sophomore party and attended our first formal dance. Then, as gold diggers, we really kept the mining going. We purchased our class rings; sold pop, potato chips, and candy at games, during the noon hour, and after school. Last, but not least, we presented the seniors with the Junior-Senior banquet and in return they gave us a picnic. Then as forty-niners we found our gold, having had to face the usual senior nrcb ' ems. We chose our class motto From School Life Into Life ' s School ; our class flower, mums; class colors, gray and cardinal; and selected class sweater, gray and cardinal; made vear book plans, and presented a class play, Bottoms Up . Ending our most succesful year in G. H. S. was the banquet given by the juniors and the picn ; c we semors gave in return. We have, not onlv a diploma as our gold, but also friendships and memories that will never die. So we say, Good bye, good-luck to you, and may your days be as happy as the ones we ' ve been through . The Gold Diggers, Prospectors, and Pioneers, whose goal it is to reach the top , graduation, are well on their way to the end of that goal. The Gold Diggers have only one year before they can don their caps and gowns. The Prospectors are look ' ng forward to being future Gold Diggers of G. H. S. and the Pioneers are just struggling along patiently until they can reach their goal, which is only four years ahead. Dear Old G. H. S. Don ' t shame them Billy, they can ' t help it! 1147 style!

Their mines are the concession stands at school and at the football and basketball games. These mines yield wealth which was used principally for the super banquet that everyone enjoyed so much. The Juniors gave treasures to the whole school in their after-game dances and gained treasures for themselves in their beautiful class rings. Under the leadership of President Wayne Diederich, Vice-President Phyllis Leech, and Secretary Douglas Shull, and the class sponsors — Mr. Bateman, Mrs. Faulstick and Mrs. Sweeney they were steered safely through their third year of school. The Juniors are looking anxiously forward to next year when they will reach the greatest treasure of all — graduation. We, the Seniors, wish to say Good Luck. Sophomores -- Prospectors The Prospectors have almost reached their pot of gold. They really have been an ambitious group with Bill Leech at the head, aided by George Wappes and George Tuttle. The two years ahead are really something to look forward to and these Sophomores have the necessary equipment to make the most of them. Mr. Rahmer and Miss Thrush have been a great help in preparing these students for the remaining years at G. H. S. They have found nuggets of joy at their parties such as the Christmas party and the barn dance Their ambition and wholehearted co-operation will be a valuable asset to G. H. S. in the coming years.

With chief scout Tom Diederich to guide them they have progressed greatly and have discovered a new vein of gold, the second year of high school. Trailing along with the chief scout is Pat Lonergan, Vice President, Barbara Moss, Secretary, and Gloria Mossberger, Treasurer giving their aid whenever needed. After getting along the path heading for the mine they set aside time for entertainment. For further advice and direction they have turned to the more experienced leaders, the sponsors: Mr. Woodcox, Miss Gump, Miss Evard and Mr. Nipple. These Pioneers will be a great aid in helping the up and coming Freshmen and their experiences will be beneficial to G. H. S. Mr. Ralimcr was irritated by some one whispering during economics recitation. Silence, he thundered. I want it so quiet in here I can hear a pin drop. There was supreme silence for an instance. Then Alvina Molargik piped up: Well, let her drop! Mrs. Sweeney: I what do I see? Basil Rowe: Pupils ok deep Schlecht: Bookkeeping is a healthful job; Heibert: How is that?

Scouts Under the leadership of Mr. Coble and Mrs. Fouch, the young scouts, the seventh-graders, have become acquainted with the new paths and trails of the high school. Being inexperienced, they were led over the rough spots safely by their social, moral, and ethical training. These seventh-graders are anxiously lookiing forward to scouting the harder trails next year. The eighth-grade Scouts have been one of the most active groups in school. Their many activities have kept them busy and they will remember them long after hitting the end of the trail. The future holds much for these energetic students. Along the trail they have been given the chance by their leaders, Mr. Myers and Mr Harman, to delve into many adventures, to learn the various intricacies of nature and human nature, and to cope with problems and situations of our complex society id, Dean Scofield, Kent Gordon, FIRST ROW: Larry Baker, Duane Lepard, Albert Smith, James r Jack Rahrig, Harold Soudan, Max Bock.

Trail-Blazers 2073018 Although being small in stature and having only a few years of experience to their credit, the Trail-Blazers occupy a vitally important spot in our school system. These Blazers start out on the first day of school with a new and untried world before them. Each year they gain in experience and knowledge until they find their way to their first destination — Junior High. To assure them of health, wealth, and wisdom, their especially trained leaders continually guide encourage, and keep them on the adventurous trails. The blazers range all the way from the first graders, who take care of the small easy paths, to the sixth graders, who spread out and investigate the more complicated trails. To help fortify these young citizens for the day ' s events, and to develop strong girls and boys to break through when the going is rough, they enjoy milk and crackers each morning at rest period. There is no end to the activities. Each class has done many things which will stand out in their memory long into the future. One of the main events was the annual spring concert in which these young citizens displayed publicly their efforts and talents. The Trail-Blazers are working and studying hard, looking forward to the time when they will have explored all the territory in the grade school and will move on to a new and bigger territory — the high school. Trail-Blazers The Trail-Blazers are going to be the future pioneers, prospectors and ' 49ers of G. H. S. They are quickly learning the ways of blazing life through the reading of books and the active participation in their different class room projects. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Ober, Miss Lois Cobler, Miss Alice Hall, Miss Mary Dean, Miss Helen Ellert, Mrs. Deris Stuck, and Mr. Ralph Manrow, they are assured the best of luck on their adventure.

Activities Y-Tee ns Y-Teen is a national organization aflfi iat:d with the Young Women ' s Christian Association. The main purpose of the club is to find and give the best. Last summer Elnora Smith and Jeanette Fenstermaker were sent to Camp Mack for the summer conference of the Northern Indiana Y-Te:ns. The ideas they obtained at camp have proven very helpful to the club in ail their activities. A district meeting of Northeastern Indiana YTcens was h:!d in March with the South Bend club acting as host. Seven committees were formed to take over the recreational period of the meeting. These committees were the creative, athletic, social, dramatic, music and art type, and the personal relations group. Each girl joined the one she was most interested in and helped with other functions is she was needed. A successful year has been completed after starting with the initiation of the new members and ending with the installation of officers for the coming school year, 1949-1950. Shirk, J. Snyder, C. P.

A coach ' s job is never complete. Pr as he moves onto the football field at tw the field will be ready for play on the foil for long hours over the athletic Harman as he stands in a drench Garrett intends to challenge. Thus the unsung heroes of the gridiron, the basketball - through physical adeptness the type of citizens who will make good citizens made today. n, again have done the impossible. They and they mold around these experienced ie unknown power, a well balanced hard f of this statement could be had by noting coach Parks o ' clock in the morning to water the grass so that r ing evening; or watchiing Mr. Bateman as he ponders books attempting to make both ends meet; or Mr. ig the offensive and defensive tactics of a team which id the al strive to build than vesterday ' s The three yell leaders, Gwynn Wade, Beverly conducted pep sessions. They kept the crowd Travis, and Barbara King, deserve much credit for yelling whether the team faced victory or defeat, their fine job of leading the cheering section of We appreciated their fine spirit and so we give G. H. S. They made up several new yells and three cheers for our yell leaders. Gwynn Wade, Beverly Travis, Barbara King. Second Shift FIRSTROW— G. Wappes, M. Clark, J. Williams, N. Zii Gentry, R. Chisholm, D. Shull, J. Waterbeck, W. Cramer. STANDING— J. Feagler, B. Myers, L. Harper, H. Quince. J. Campbell, R. Baumgardner, D. Varsity THOMAS DeWITT— Sr. Quarterback, captain, three-year letterman. Tom was the righting spirit of the team from starting whistle to final gun. Many glory-struck ball carriers were thwarted in their attempts to score by Tom ' s unerring tackles. WILLIAM PUTT— Sr. Guard, three-year letter- man. Putter , the little boy with the big ideas, was always on the bottom of every pile-up: Though short and husky he proved the old adage the bigger they are the harder they fall. JAMES MOSES — Sr. Halfback, two-year letter- man. Jim was the ever-ready ground gainer for last season. Due to an injured knee Jim was unable to play his best brand of football although he never failed to whip the prettiest touchdown passes an end could want. DWAYNE HARRIS — Sr. Fullback, one-year let- terman. It was Blondie ' s first year but he filled the spot to the letter. Blondie ' s specialties were off tackle pulnges and wide end runs, not to mention many connecting passes. MARTIN WOODCOX— Sr. Center, two-year let- terman. Woody didn ' t intend to be the center last year but when no one else could fill the bill, he proved his aleptness. Opposing teams found out too late that drives over center were useless. CHARLES WATERBECK— Sr. Halfback, one- year letterman. Charley was the hit- ' em-low boy. When one opponent intended to get by Charley he had to have either two blockers or a head start. JOHN WALTER— Sr. End, one-year lett John Eddie didn ' t see consistent action on the gridiron but when he was there he was consistently snagging passes for good gains. JACK CLARK— Jr. End, three-year letterman. Jack was the pass catcher for the team. He had the knack to be just at the right place at the right time. MAYNARD CLARK— Jr. Tackle, one-year let- terman. Sharky was the mighty mite of the varsity. Although he was rather small for the tackle position, other teams soon found out he wasn ' t to be pushed around without a fight. BENNETT NOEL— Jr. Guard, one-year letter- man. Bennett was the husky farm lad on the team. Bennett ' s specialty was stopping quarter- back sneaks. HOWARD BENNETT— Jr. Tackle, one-year letterman. Gomo shared his position at tackle with Kenneth Hollis, but he bore the brunt of the attack of the opposing teams on the left side of the line. Other junior lettermen were Wayne Diederich, Robert Dawson, and Donald Gentry. Jack Feagler and Leslie Harper were the two freshmen who received football letters. LEFT — Captain Tom DeWitt, quarter- back, lets loose with a mighty heave to a mate ' s waiting arms. CENTER— Charles Waterbeck, halfback, is caught with an expression that is intended to take his antagonists off guard. RIGHT— James Moses, halfback and passer, gets set for a lengthy heave CENTER LEFT— Bennett Noel, left guard, makes ready for a smashing line play. RIGHT— Wayne Diederich, halfback, shifts into position for a wide end run. BOTTOM LEFT— Maynard Clark, right tackle, gives the silent signal for a mouse-trap block on an opponent. BOTTOM RIGHT— Martin Woodcox is about to pass the pigskin from center position. TOP LEFT— Howard Bonnett, left tackle, nonchalantly braces himself for a tooth jarring tackle. William Putt, right guard, flashing a grimace, which if stated means thou shalt not pass , is most discouraging to opponents. CENTER LEFT— Kenneth Hollis, left tackle, searches for a weak spot in the opposing line-up. Robert Dawson, quarterback, does a fake hand-off as the fullback comes through on a power play. BOTTOM LEFT— Jack Clark, right end, sends the pigskin bounding down the field on a kick-off. CENTER— John Walter, left end, opens his arms to the spiraling messenger of fame. Dwayne Harris, fullback, is ready to let go with a powerful boot.
