Nljbt (leu You-r the Doc- ••I ook Me In the LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Seniors of Hanna High School, State of Indiana, being of sound memory do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament in manner and form as follows: I, Dick Vick, will my algebra ability to Jim Werner, and the re- mainder of my personal interest in a little brunette to Richard Doms. May they accomplish much their last year! 1, Wallace Wayne Sacks, will my technique of getting acquainted with strange women to Howard Mulloy. It's quite a line, Howard; don’t hang yourself on it! I, Howard Owen, will my ability to skip basketball practice to Phil Peters, and my quieL shy ways to Charles Lute. I, George Kauchak, will my ability to get along with women to Norman Coil, and my poise, spirit, and ability to talk well to the Yell Leaders. I, Richard Gross, will my secret of getting to school on time to George Masterson. No more excuses, George! 1, Alfred Glen Huhnke, Jr., will my halo and good behavior to Richard Doms, and my ability to play good basketball to Leigh Lile. I. Lois Saylor, will my ability to get to school on Monday mornings to Barbara Sims and my ambition to be a teacher to Jim Werner. We, Richard Gross, Alfred Huhnke, and Howard Owen, will our ability to get A’s in history class to Leigh Lile. I, Thelma Sacks, will my ability to hold my temper and my soft manner of speaking to Margie Garbison. I. Alice Mandeville. will my ability not to go steady to Barbara Sims and the privilege of using the school telephone more than anyone else to Lewis Hewlett. 1, Lois Hunsley, will my ability to study shorthand and my dis- interest in the opposite sex to Jerry Kauchak and any excess fat that I may accumulate in the next five years to Barbara Sims. Lastly, we Seniors direct that ail our responsibilities, prestige, exalted position and any claims against us such as unpaid bills, etc., be given to the Junior class. 9 AN ATOM SPLITS The release of ten atomic, energetic human beings is the climax of twelve long years of research and development. Our energy has been locked within this one particular nucleus, the school, for a seem- ingly long period of time. One teacher after another has performed experiments upon us until we are free at last to expand our energies elswhere! Four years ago we burst into high school only to find ourselves forced into seats on the east side of the assembly. We gazed in an awesome manner at the west side where the sophisticated, self-confi- dent Seniors sat, and we wondered if we would ever reach that exalted position. Four years seemed an eternity! The quotation, A Freshman knows not and knows not that he knows not” applied to us apparently. We had several ideas of our own, but they were always promptly squelched by the almighty Seniors. In fact, we were initiated most unceremoniously and not at all painlessly by our acknowledged superiors. (However, secretly, we never did ad- mit the superiority of the Seniors that year! Now, it can be told! ”A Sophomore knows not and knows that he knows not”--so we quietly (?) bided our time--atoring up bits of knowledge to be used effectively at a later date. Under the patient guidance of Miss Wishard we began our money-making struggle by selling popcorn at basketball games. This year, too, marked the advent of Mr. Siegesmund as our coach, and he began making basketball stars out of the boys in our class. And a very good job he did, too! ”A Junior knows and knows not that he knows”--innocent us-- still accumulating knowledge of sorts; not all of it was found in the books but our education wouldn't be complete without it. Teachers worked dili- gently over us -- time was growing short! They had a dead-line to meet --May, 1949! We were now confronted with the problem of raising enough money with which to honor the Seniors of 48 with a banquet and prom. It wasn't an easy task, but we sold hot dogs at ball games, sponsored two dances, and a skating party, and presented the play, “You're the Doctor.” With the help of Mrs. Griegcr, our sponsor, we gave the Seniors a banquet and prom they will never forget. And much to our surprise we still had some money in our treasury as the year came to a close. 10 The Seniors of 48 gave us a party at which we ate, danced, and played games. We earned this party by selling more magazine subscriptions than the Senior class; Lois Hunsley was our star saleslady. Now. at last ’’A Senior knows and knows that he knows. ’ Our first duty was to introduce the green freshies to the high school. It was a pleasure we enjoyed thoroughly •• after all, we had been planning this for three years. Some of them had to go through a process of learning how to take it. but they learned quickly as was proved the final night of initiation when they were required to do many grotesque stunts without complaining. Afterwards we rein- forced their weakened condition with food, and social dancing w� s enjoyed by all of the high school students. During our Senior year we sponsored two dances, sold coke at the ball games, and gave the play, Look Me in the Eye.' Again, our class won the magazine sales contest; to date, however, we have not received our party as was promised by the Junior class. We are very proud of our Senior boys who many times played together this year as our first team -- Wally, Al, Vick, Howard, and George. And we feel that the Panthers will be unable to find a better manager than Richard Gross . At the present time we are looking forward to our prom and banquet, our trip. Baccalaureate, Commencement, and last but not least, we are anxiously anticipating receiving a diploma signed by Mr. Seigesmund. And then the atom splits; each of us will go his own way. We wonder what effect our energies and ambitions will have on the outside world --or what effect the outside world will have on us: n ATOMIC ENERGY EXHIBITION ••Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Right this way, folks were the words of the barker which came to me as I made my way from booth to booth at the street fair in Hanna. June, 1972. Perhaps ''street fair is an obsolete term, but it was used frequently when I was a boy in high school, and I am still obstinate enough to prefer some of the old-fashioned expressions in this somewhat confusing and miraculous atomic age. Exhibitions or street fairs of this type were not uncommon! Breath-taking rides, amusements, and exhibitions demonstrating the use of atomic energy in every-day living were in evidence all over the country. Back to my story - - 1 walked in the general direction of the voice of the barker and upon catching sight of him, I realized there was something familiar about him. 1 studied this character brief- ly -- tall, well-built with just the slightest suggestion of a softness about him, strong and persuasive voice. Then I noted the posters and ads in front: See the Class of 1949! See Lois, the school teacher! Her methods are original and unique! See Cross, the good-humor man! By this time my curiouaity was thoroughly aroused, and I ap- proached the barker. A bell rang in my mind -- Wally Sacks!! It couldn't be -- but it was! What was this whole crazy business! Did the members of the class of 49 all turn out to be side-show entertainers7 I never thought they were that freakish! Or did they love each other so much they couldn't bear to part? That hardly seemed probable. And Wallace Wayne -- he even went to college after graduation. What, then, was the answer to this farcical set-up? 1 was soon to learn that this was the unique idea for a class reunion in Hanna. That class always was a money-making, scheming group -- but this idea certainly topped them all! Tickets for this session were practically sold out. so I hurriedly paid the price of admission -- which was plenty stiff as might well be imagined by one who had known the class -- and went inside to sec what the class of '49 was like at the approximate age of fifty. The first demonstration which met my eyes was a room installed with all the gadgets necessary to a luxurious kitchen. Seated in the middle of the room in a comfortable easy chair, eating a bar of candy eyes half-closed, chin resting upon chin, was a slightly graying. 12 blondifth middle-aged woman. She waa Lola Hunaley whom I recognised by an exact replica who sat beaide her. Yea, Loia married Junior Galbreath with whom she went steady two years in high school. Junior waa busy demonstrating their completely automatic kitchen. He men- tioned that atomic energy made this possible; in fact, Loia now could get an entire meal without getting out of her chair. This was her dream come true! And apparently she still loved to eat as much as ever! In the next booth a tractor was being displayed by none other than Alfred Huhnke, Jr. He was explaining how he ran this tractor with atomic power rather than gas. Also, he had installed a ••hopped-up motor so that it would operate much faster. He gets his farming done much more quickly, and therefore, is able to follow his hobby of auto racing. Last year at the Speedway he came in second; this year he ex- pects to come in first. I didn't learn too much about the women in his life but understood there had been several. And eventually one came a- long whom he could not resist for long. Next, I encountered a middle-aged muscular-looking woman giving a permanent in a rapid, efficient manner to a young girl. The information on her card said her name was Thelma Sacks, and she was a successful hair dresser in New York. Whispers around me disclosed the fact that she still followed her hobby of lady wrestling occasionally. Also, 1 understood that Wayne will still be welcomed by Thelma with open arms when and if he appears. My eyes then caught sight of an attractive matronly figure who sat at a desk with a automatic telephone at her ear. The woman was Alice Mandeville. I learned she is doing secretarial work and was. at the moment, waiting for her boss who was always late. She informed me her matrimonial affairs were not open for discussion and before I could carry the conversation further, in rode her boss on his bicycle -- an eccentric character indeed! I couldn’t have been more right! Shocked but maintaining an upright position, 1 recognized Alice Mandeville’a boss -- Richard Gross -- same twitching, tongue-in-cheek smile! It seems that after graduation he gave his position as coach back to Mr. Siegesmund. He had received all the breaks and was now president of Allis-Chalmers. It would hove been Interesting to see how he managed Alice! He smiled at the tall, slender, and slightly bald man next to him whom I recognized as Dick Vick. He was displaying some of his latest designs for automobiles, and Boss Gross told me Dick was a leading car designer for General Motors. As for Morilyn -- his childhood sweet- heart -- no one knows who Became tired of waiting for whom. Dick’s favorite drawings are eccentric designs for very old cars. He was quite an athlete in his youth, and I understand he hadn't yet lost his enthusiasm 13 for sports. In fact, he disciplines himself to at least, two and even three games of croquet a week! What an engaging picture the little professor-like man made in the next booth! He was busily lecturing his favorite subject -- history. Howard Owen!! Who would ever have thought that Howard would turn out to be a professor of history? He prides himself upon the fact that he brings a new and different lecture to every class! He attributed this surprising amount of energy to the fact that he had been taking atomic pills for some time. Next on display were many building plans which indicated a vivid imagination on the part of the architect. Upon examination 1 learned that the successful architect was George Kauchak. Many of his house plans were for large families. 1 was informed that George was trying for a larger family than his parents had. In fact, he couldn’t be present at the exhibition today because four of his younger children were ill with whoop- ing cough. It seems he plans to retire just as soon as the first one is old enough to support the family. In the last booth 1 saw Lois Saylor demonstrating a new educational theory on primary children. Rumor revealed that Lois had an unhappy love affair with Howard Mulloy and so dedicated her life to future genera- tions. As for Wallace Wayne, he went to college and studied to be a teacher and was comparatively successful. However, this profession became dull because he could out-argue any of his students. So he entered politics, and is now running for governor of Indiana. The female sex always did fascinate him, and you could tell by his appreciative glances that he hadn't changed much in that respect. He did assure me, however, that he was going to settle down soon -- say in the next few years! ••Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!and the class of 49 adds another dollar to their pockets! Characters -- all of them! CLASS OF '49 RICHARD GROSS: Ambition................. • • • • Pet Peeve..................... Characteristic Trait.......... Favorite Saying...............

McNEELY 19 SOPHOMORE PROTONS The atom nucleus which houses the energy of our four high school classes contains eleven Sophomore conductors of said energy. Class officers elected were Janet Merth. president; Bernice Shei. vice-president; Ellen Rose Sacks, secretary; and 11a Mae Thompson, treasurer. It seems that the girls rule in our class. Under the sponsorship of Miss Boling, we sold candy and hot dogs at the basketball games--diligently working to make money for the Junior prom and Senior trip. We also sponsored a dance after the Invitational Holiday Tourney; this is a traditional affair for the Sophomore classes of Hanna High. We were very proud of our boys who made the team and participated in other activities. Don Rosenbaum made the ••A team, and Bill Kauchak. Dave Eichstaedt. and Boydn Sells the ••B team. And we must name Myers, our student manger for the second team. All of our boys are active in band and chorus and athletics, and our girls in chorus and C.A.A. Modestly speaking, we’re not such a bad class!: TWELVE ELECTRICAL CHARGES ENTER HIGH SCHOOL September 7. twelve green but energetic Freshmen walked into the assembly for the first time and became a part of the high school. In a few weeks the Seniors began our initiation which lasted one hectic week! We didn’t have to wear our funny clothes until Wednesday, and Friday afternoon we were compelled to proclaim to the world over the public address system at the baseball game our love for the Senior class. Friday night we received the real initiation (no comments) after which we. as guests of the Seniors, danced and ate ice cream and cake. A wonderful time was had by all . We took part in the fall festival; all the Freshman girls were in the freak show--l don’t know whether that was good or bad. We also had a party November I, and. of course, we all love parties’. December 14, we sponsored a roller skat- ing party at Plymouth. There was a large crowd (our good fortune) and all had an enjoyable--if somewhat painful--evening. Basketball season started and all the Freshman boys except one was on the team. Several times during the season we had a full Freshman squad on the floor. Gerald Masterson was a sub’ on the first team . Three cheers for the boys!! We sold popcorn at the games and thus began our four-year money-making schemes. Bob Oberlin played in the all-county band at the county tournament. Carole Lute and Marilyn Fair are entered in the algebra contest this year. Good luck girls: Also, part of the class are thinking of entering the oratorical contest and cissy on citizenship contest. Near the end of the year we lose one of our favorite Freshman boys. Steve Banic who will move to Bourbon, Indiana. Our behavior this year was typical of a green Freshman class, but it seemed as though we got into more devilment in biology class than in any other cU 8 H°w ver’ next year you will see a big improvement. Our sponsor, who was so good to us. was Mrs. Hayden, and our officer, were Carole Lute, president; Steve Banic. vice-presi- dent; Marilyn Fair, secretary; and Doris Mulloy. treasurer.

For the 48 • 49 season the Panthers have a record of 13 wins and 8 losses. The team consists of the following players: FIRST FIVE: Dick Dorns, Al Huhnke, guards; Dick Vick, pivot; Wally Sacks, George Kauchak, forwards. SECOND FIVE: Gerald Masterson, Don Rosenbaum, guards; George Masterson, pivot; Joe Merth, Howard Owen, forwards. The opponents scored 828 points while the Panthers scored 1016 points. The opponents averaged 37.6 points per game to the Panthers 46.2. Three boys on the basketball team distinguished themselves by winning various honors.

HANDS OFF! ••Dear Mr. Siegesmund, wrote indignant Mr. Huhnke, You must not whack Allred. He is a delicate child and isn't used to it. We never hit him at home -- except In self-defense. AND SO WE GET BY Mr. McNeely and Mr. Siegesmund were lunching together one day, and Mr. Siegesmund said, Will you pass the nuts? Mr. McNeely: I guess so, but I ought to fail them. EGO Alice: What are you thinking of? Wally: Nothing. Alice; Oh, take your mind off yourself for a change. IMPROVEMENT WANTED George Kauchak: Your hair needs cutting badly, Joe. • Joe Kauchak: I don’t agree. It needs cutting nicely this time. You cut it badly the last time. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE Barbara: The skunk is a very useful animal. We get fur from him. Gross: I'll say we do. We get as fur from him as possible. ' WONDERS OF MEDICINE Mac: Say, Doc, can I be playing my violin again in two weeks? Doc: Can’t guarantee violin, but the last man 1 operated on for this trouble was playing a harp within 24 hours. A FRIEND My worst sin, Lois sighed, is vanity. I spend every day admiring my beauty. That's not vanity, Thelma replied. That’s Imagination. GET THE BROMO The young bride placed the turkey carefully on the table for Thanksgiving dinner. This, my dear, Lois exclaimed, is my first roast turkey. • Junior looked with admiration. Marvelous, darling. he said, And how wonderfully you’ve stuffed it. Stuffed it? she asked. Why, dearest, this one wasn't hollow. Jfe HARD WORK Miss Boling: “That is the third time you’ve looked on Jerry’s paper.•• Charles: “I know -- his writing is awful.” NEAT TRICK IF HE CAN DO IT ••I’m going to Yellowstone Park,” announced Dick gleefully. “That’s great,” said Gross. “Don’t forget to see OLD FAITHFUL.” “See?” exclaimed Dick. “I’m taking her with me.” ALWAYS HELPFUL “Your last paper was very difficult to read,” said Mr. McNeely. “Your work should be written so that even the most ignorant will be able to understand.” “Yes, Sir,” said Howard. “What part didn't you get?” MODERN CONVENIENCE ••Dear,” said Mrs. Hayden, “Elaine’s teacher says she ought to have an encyclopedia.” “Encyclopedia, my eye,” grumbled Mr. Hayden. “Let her walk to school like 1 did.” ■r .
