L BUCKLES Treasurer CLYDE STRAIT Secretary Mr. Buclzlos Mr. Euphrat Mr. Strait We have been fortunate, during the past year, in having a Board ol Education composed of such prominent, civic-spirited men as these. Iheir administration has proved to be one unusually sympathetic to the varied school problems, consequently the 'I935-'I936 school year was a most successful and progressive one I-IIC-BI-I SCHOOL BUILDING Verily, the 'ihouse ol a thousand eyes. Qur atfections have centered here during our high school years, and we Ieave with many regrets, but the ringing echoes through its halls will Iong remain in our memories. 6 You enter the first year of high school full of enthusiasm and hope. Time passes rapidly, and be- fore you are aware of it, graduation time has come. Many of the happenings would soon be forgotten if they were not recorded each year in printed form. This volume of the Retro will serve to preserve in your memory the friendships that were formed and a history of the events that transpired during the year nineteen hundred thirty-five and six. May it inspire in you a new sense of pride and a desire to achieve greater things. I-I. P. Kelsay PRI NCIPALS We often hear it said that the young person who gets ahead in the world is he who has ability, he who applies himself and trains his mind, that he may develop in himself the highest degree of efficiency. Skill is, of course, extremely important if one is to succeed in his life's worlc, but one's life will be doomed to failure if he has not gained those traits of character which will malce him coura- geous, trustworthy, honest, loyal, and sincere. A worthy citizen in the community of worlcers must have a sense of the values implicit in a society where co-operative action directed toward social security for all is the basic characteristic of living, Trella V. Borden SUPERINTENDENT Seniors: As you leave these school halls, may success attend your endeavors. May the lessons you have here learned in self reliance, values, and right attitudes be beneficial to you and serve to guide you in solving your daily problems. l trust the friendships you have formed here with teachers and classmates may be an inspira- tion to you, because these friends will be interested in your success. May you be happy in whatever vocation you choose, and leave the world a little better for your having lived in it. J. B.

Jean Hartup HISTORY Four years ago approximately one hundred and ten boys and girls entered the portals of the Hartford City High School. They idolized the upper classmen and hoped that someday, they, too, would be just as dignified and superior. Today we are seniors and have realized our hopes. When our class of 1936 were freshmen, Miss Mary Greene and Mr. Colon Parlcs were appointed as class sponsors. During that year we chose our motto, Continually striving to attain, our class colors, red and white, and our class flower, the red rose. Qur class officers were William Kunlcle, president, Clyde Fulton, vice-president, Doyne Allen, secretary, and June Gilbert, treasurer. The social event of that year was a picnic at the Newbauer farm, south of the city. In our sophomore year we elected Robert Risinger, president, William Howard, vice-president, Mildred Telle, secretary, and Helen Byrd, treasurer. ln the fall of 1934 as juniors and with the annual junior-senior reception to be planned and financed, we were soon aware that a busy year was ahead. The officers who guided us through that year were Stephen Leonard, president, David Buckles, vice-president, Justine Burlc, secretary, and Joe Liniger, treasurer. ln order to increase our treasury, we gave a musical comedy, Sunny Skies, and sponsored two benefit shows. This year was brought to a close with our entertaining the seniors and guests with a banquet at the Methodist church and a dance in the new gym. Upon entering the last lap of our high school course, the following class officers were elected: Russell Williams, president, Patricia Bray, vice-president, Lelsle Jones, secretary, and Robert Overmyer, treasurer. With the publishing of the Retro, we were busier than ever this year. That we might have funds to carry on our worlc, we sold subscriptions to Curtis Magazines and conducted the Retro Campaign in which we secured the highest number of subscriptions ever sold, six hundred fifty. A class play, One Mad Night, was given in December, and a benefit show was also sponsored. The main Social event was a carry-in dinner and a dance held in the old gym. Qur happy year as seniors was brought to a close with the junior-senior prom given in our honor by the junior class. Thus our class of seventy-seven members, having participated in class day, bacca- laureate, and commencement, bids farewell to the Hartford City High School where we have spent many happy hours. ln remembering our experiences and attainments of these brief years, we wish to reiterate with Tennysons' immortal Ulysses: We are a part of all that we have met, Yet all experience is an arch where through Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades Forever and forever when we move. Lelsle Jones. SONG THE LAST DAY The day which we have reached at last ls the day that weive looked for, We've had the best in the years that are pastf We could not ask lor more. But yet 'tis hard to express ourselves, When the end ol school is here, When we must say good-by to all To start on our lile's career. l know we've said that we'd be glad When our school days were o'er, But now l know it is not so- l wish l'd known before .... But there is work somewhere for us, Vet we shall ne'er lorget The moments spent in l-'lartlord l-ligh And All the friends we met. We'll never forget our own classmates, The teachers, and the rest, For our minds will always wander To school days we loved the best. Earl Tipsord.

OFFICERS AND SPONSORS No one can deny that the greatest contributing factors to the success of any class are a corps of energetic, hardworking officers and a committee of interested, sympathetic sponsors.

This year's winner is undoubt- edly the popular choice of the student body and fans alilce, lor not only has he been outstanding in athletics, but his whole- hearted cooperation and his unseltish attitude, coupled with his quiet endeavor in everyday life, have made him a host of friends. nl-ertyn PAST WINNERS 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935 Robert Marchal Clyde Babbitt Byron Huggins Harry Bohr William Pettit Kenneth Dorton Richard Baugher William Crites 37 AIREDALES Seated, left to riht: Fulton, Cooper, Ervin, Wunderlin, Morris.

CLYDE FULTON-Forward Lefty, with his deceptive, left-handed shot, has accounted for many Old Gold and Black points, during the last two years. His loss this year, via graduation, will be greatly felt. EDWARD RISINGER-Center Ed's game seems to be tip-off and tip-in, both of which he does with exceptional accuracy. Ed, a junior, was placed on the all-sectional team this year. MILO JENKINS-Floor guard .,linlcs had a cool, deliberate style oi playing ball which completed a well- balanced squad. His position will be hard to lill next year. FRANK WUNDERLIN-Back guard l-lanlcs consistency in retrieving the ball from the banlcboard seemed to typily the Fighting spirit ol our Airedales. For his outstanding worlc in the tournament, he was awarded the honor of all-sectional guard. He has one more year to play. HOWARD ERVIN-Forward Boze will be with the team next year. His baslcet-eye, coupled with his defensive ability, malces him a valuable player. 18 ROBERT RISINGER-Forward Bean was the tall man of the team this year. His accurate eye, combined with his height, makes him a dangerous man under the baslcet. He will be graduated this year. RALPH COOPER-Forward Ralph, a senior, did not have many oppor- tunities to play this season, but when called upon, showed he could deliver the goods. BERNARD CAIN-Guard Sugar played most of the year with the second team, but saw some action with the varsity. He is a sophomore and should furnish a great punch for next year's team. ROY MCDANIELS-Center Macs height and speed should be a valuable asset to next season's squad. He is a sophomore. MARION MORRIS-Forward Med should develop into a valuable varsity man, as he is only a sophomore.

The 1935-36 Airedales, handicapped by the loss ol the new gymnasium, were forced to play the scheduled ten home games in the Maytag Gym at Upland. The loyal Hartford City fans traveled the seven miles many times to see the boys ring up brilliant victories. Despite all handicaps, the home-less Airedales, under careful guidance ol Coach Good, turned in a Fine record of 15 wins and 5 losses. 1935 - SEASON RECORD - 1936 The Airedales' Record The Pups' Record Airedales 37 Jefferson Twp. 17.

This year under the supervision of Mr. Crouse, tennis was added to the list ol sports. Although late in gettin8 organized, two matches were played in the fall with the Dunlcirlc l'ligh School, and while both were lost, much interest was manifested in this sport. Since there is no traclc or Field program ol athletics in the spring, tennis is expected to vie with baseball in interest. With the building ol two Fine courts in the city last fall, better opportunities for both practice and schedul- ing home meets are forthcoming, and it is probable that tennis will become a major sport in the luture. 43 SWIMMING I-I. l , Crouse, coach, Max Trussell, James Charnley, Oliver i-iouseman, F.

The pool, ranging in depth from three feet to nine feet, is sixty feet long and twenty-one feet Wide. The varsity swimming team this year, under the direction oi l'l. L. Crouse, has held two meets with Marion. The initial meet, 'ithrashed outi' in the Y.M.C.A. pool at Marion, was Won by the local splashers through a score of 30-Qi. The fact that John Jones was injured and unable to participate in the next meet was partly responsible for our defeat, as Marion won the return contest held here Q9 'l'Q to Q7 'l-Q.

A varied program offered basketball, volley-ball, boxing, horse shoes, tennis, ping-pong, shuflleboard, and checkers. Of these perhaps basketball was most outstanding. Two leagues, Junior and Senior, were formed. Each league, in which the round-robin system of elimination was used, was composed of eight teams of seven men each. The competition was keen in both leagues with the Blues winning the Senior league honors and the Whites topping the Junior league. Bob Smith, star forward for the Blues, was high scorer in the Senior league with '13O points, his closest rival being his teammate Max Qwens, who scored '1Q'1 points. ln the Junior league, Max Wagner, center for the Green team, won highest scoring honors with a total of '147 points. A noon league, composed of country boys, was organized to play scheduled games during the noon hour. The Tigers won in a close race with the Cubs. With over '1QO boys participating in this popular sport, one can look forward to a strong varsity squad in the near future. Under Mr. Dick's careful supervision, the boys were taught the fundamentals of good basketball.

The '1'1A,s copped the title of inter-class Champs for the year '1936 by defeating the '1OB's in the finals by a score of '18 to '1O. ln the first round the 9A's eliminated the 9B's by a score of 3'1 to '19. ln a hotly contested tilt the '1'1A's won over the '1OA's '14 to '1Q. This game was a very interesting one and many students were present to back their team. The '1QAis won from the '1'1B's on a forfeit. ln the fourth game of the tourney, the '1QB's were defeated by the '1OB's by a score of '14 to 12.

SENIOR PROP!-IECY June Gilbert and Betty Wilkinson, star reporters for the Prairie Junction MONTHLY JOURNAL, were assigned to interview a French scientist in New York. The lucky girls, foot loose and fancy-free, packed up and left for the big city. After gettin lost several times, they finally found themselves on the 'l75th floor of the Apollo Buifiding in New York City. They knocked on the door of suite 16, the door was opened, and they were greeted by a middle-aged man who wore a short beard and a mustache. Despite the camouflage, the irls knew the doctor immediately and exclaimed, Why you are Louis Ouignard, wfio was graduated with us in '36'l Since they were old friends, it was no task at all for the girls to find out all about the doctor. l have invented the most amazing invention ever created. Shall l demonstrate it for you? Yes, eagerly cried the girls. The doctor seated them in a hollow sphere. He began to move the numerous levers on the sides of the sphere, he pressed a button. The result was an explosion so terrific that the girls lost their false teeth, and the doctor lost his mind. The machine stopped when the altimeter showed STRATOSPHERE 35 miles. Now comes the great invention, the doctor said, as he began to work the dials at his side. l will transform the cosmic rays of the stratosphere into a magnetic radio- active ray, which l have named the YZ Ray. It will show on this radio screen what anyone is doing today. What would you girls like to see? Let's see what our old classmates are doing, said the curious June.

Having been in the freshman class of Roll University for many years Don Bedwell and Freddie Sprague have given up all claim to dear old Alma Matre. fhey have now taken up bull-fighting as a pastime.
