For this reason she keeps a close Watch on one and all, struggling through various courses, ready to lend a helping hand whenever possible with the motto, If at first you d0n't succeed, try againf' SEARCHING FOR HLITTLE BLACK SAMBOW? Browsing through the public library are members of the English faculty Mr. Henderson, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Daniels, Miss Chalfant, Miss Fee, and Mr. Foster. Why not hop on a comma and join G. A. in her journey over the English faculty? Careful now, don't stumble over your diction. And watch that jive talk. lt may be the hottest lingo on the market, but it's doubtful that Emily Post would approve. Edith l. Chalfant, librarian and seventh grade Eng- lish teacher, who pored over books at lndiana Central College for her degree of A.B., then attending Ball State Teachers College and the University of Illinois for graduate work, finds geneology a pleasant diver- sion. Attending Ball State Teachers College for her rank of A.B., and both Oxford College and De- Pauw University, Esther Daniels, veteran in the field of teaching the Eng- lish language, considers knitting very relaxing. Cats, flowers, and books are Mable M. Fee-'s pleasantries. This instructor received an A.B. degree at Ball State Teachers College and also attended Ohio State University. Anything connected with dramatics or sports holds the attention of J ack Foster. ,lourneying to Franklin College after high school, he attained his AB. there. Photography and hunting are Edgar D. Hender- son's labors of love. Receiving his A.B. degree at Man- chester College, the English literature and English composition pedagogue went ahead to take graduate work at the University of Michigan. Majoring in English and music, Ruth Henderson, lover of music-especially piano-attended Indiana Central College, where she earned her A.B. Mary M. Greenef instructs eighth graders in Eng- lish. Did you ever listen to your voice on a record? lt doesn't sound a bit like the person you've been listen- ing to all these years, but that's just why Mr. Foster, speech director, has members of his class make record- ings. Even your Angelic Corrector wouldn't be able to persuade you that your language was off the beam, but you have to admit what you hear yourself. Another point that is stressed in speech class is the necessity of being able to stand calmly before an audi- ence and not look like last year's moron, stumbling over your tongue and trying vainly to anchor your hands to one position. When you're in that sort of condition, it's time you gave G. A. that come-hither look. 'fSee also page 19. A When you were just a kid fwhich wasn't too long agoj, you probably had beautiful, adolescent day- dreams about becoming famous in the most glamor- ous career you could possibly think of. Undoubtedly being a great actor, a second Shakespeare, or Mickey Rooney, entered your noggin quite frequently, as the very sound of being applauded for an outstanding performance has a more than attracting effect on star- gazers. If you havenlt outgrown this infatuation for the ,ips Poor old man HBadgrammar hasn't got a ghost of a chance after eager students really get on the ball in their study of the English language and the correct way to use it. He'll be a poor runner-up against your determined Guardian Angel, who is al- ways right on the job to make all of her dependents word wise. Although colons, commas, hyphens and principal parts of verbs may be Greek to these language masters at first, they become quite familiar after four years. stage by HOW' You might ENGAGED WITH THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. fAboveD speech students Gloria Dorman, find dramatics class in- teresting. Here you'll have a brief glimmer of the working part of act- ing fbehind the cur- tainj. Aside from this enlightenment you learn the usage of stage terms. Your Guardian Angel tries to assist these grease-paint lovers by hovering near when they at last get a crack at acting as a prompter for those who inevitably forget their lines. Learning not to turn green and wobbly all over when you are sud- denly confronted with an expectant audience is one of the rewarding factors the dramatics class can give you. Always at the last minute English pupils race like mad to read a book and write that long neglected book report. Since the beginning of the term your Guardian Angel has been remind- ing, warning, and scold- ing in hopes that her ef- forts would evoke a little energy on the part of her wards. Although some of the scholars are al- ways moved into action, others are hindered by their stubbornness and have to put up with last minute cramming.

Most complex duty of these future reporters is to H11 in the second semester workbook, which includes clippings from newspapers, requiring a wild scramble for good and bad stories. Another task is that of mak- ing out the dummy for the front page of a paper and writing leads of stories for it-G. A. doing all she can to help out. To become members of the Quill and Scroll, which is an international honor society for outstanding stu- dents in the field of journalism, is an honor all jour- nalists strive for.

When you hear these familiar words, it's a good sign the I nkspot staffs are having another race to see who can sell the most subscriptions for the school paper. While the drive is on, these salesmen become a familiar sight to the entire city. After enough subscriptions have been sold to top the last drive fwhich is an absolute necessity to usave facenj, the editors start the whirlwind job of assign- ing and collecting stories. Reporters, who might be called human question- naires while they're on the job, are the persons equipped with a so-called Unose for news. They track down the story, write it, and then start banging on the typewriter. Finally, it's ready to hand in in the condition required by an All-American school news- paper. When the editor gains possession of this work of art, he gives it the once-over to brush up on any slip of the pen, and Mr. Henderson re-checks all stories and headlines for journalistic mistakes. Now these important pieces of paper travel down to the print shop, where the printing staff is given the job of setting the type on the Linotype, and making up the page forms is also under the supervision of Mr. Henderson, to whom all editorial and printing staff members run for suggestions and guidance. All members of the staff that can-and will-are occupied with the job of folding the papers, mailing them, or sorting them out for home rooms on the day after you hear the printing press humming busily on the lower floor.

Wandering around the stage clad in an old-fash- ioned nightgown, Frances Suite, who played the char- acter part of a teen-ager, gave the audience something to be merry about. Good for a howl was the misery of Bill Smithis 'cday after the night beforef' which was brought on by his stage daughters, Patsy Huston and Zella Bantz. Now let's not forget last year's senior class play, uCollege Daze, which was wound around the college life of the rich boy fGen with the country boy, Howard Wentz, and caused an hilarious mix- up with a happy ending. To give hopeful teen- age dramatists a better chance, Mr. Foster, dra- matics director, and your Guardian Angel helped guide the ventures in histrionics during 1947- 48. e Cookj, who traded places Dramatics to add to your enjoyment CTopJ Dramatics Club Officers: J.

WE'RE MAKING A WITHDRAWAL. Language and history instructors Miss Cole, Miss Harter, Mr. Erne, Mr. Modlin, Miss Borden, Miss Fee, and Mr. Warner spend a part of their noon hour cashing checks at the bank. Starting with the instructors of history, try striking up a better friendship with the trainers who do a job of keeping you on the straight and narrow. Ball State Teachers College was Trella Borden's alma mater. This industrious teacher takes real pleas- ure in broadening her knowledge of the country by traveling. Reading a good book is also included in her list of daily musts. To go Fording in my cari' is one of Ruth Cole's pastimes, besides history, reading, and cooking. This schoolmistress attained her A.B. and M.A. degrees at Indiana University. William P. Modlin, seventh and eighth grade his- tory teacher who has the worthy ambition of 'itrying to get boys and girls to make something of them- selves, gained his knowledge at State Teachers Col- lege. Just a farmer at heart, Floyd Warner, who stud- ied at Indiana State Teacher's College for his B.S. degree, enlightens seventh and eighth graders on the subject of history. uMy kids and gardeningi, are what .ludson Erne, social studies teacher, terms his most pleasant time- taking tasks. To receive his A.B. degree, this cheerful instructor studied at North Central College. He also gained knowledge at Indiana State and Ball State Teachers Colleges. Shurleigh Harter, head of Caesar's publicity de- partment, knows how to read the uGallic Wars back- ward and forward-preferably forward. The catch comes when you discover the whole thing's written in Latin. Sewing and gardening are the pedagogis enjoy- able methods for relaxation. Indiana University claims her as an ex-student. It was here that she re- ceived her A.B. degree, although graduate work was acquired at the University of Michigan. Mabel M. Feeii drills hopeful, young French stu- dents.

Madonna Schultz, Leta Alice Willmaxi and Karleen O'Connell conjugate French verbs on hoard. Spinning a world globe, you see flashes of color, but the real color of history is in the little things about the people who live all around tl1c world. Sophomores take their first glimpse of habits and customs of the cave-men in Ancient History. Later on, they move up to the Greeks and Romans. More recent happenings are found in World His- tory. Your Angelic Historian can really help you there, being a strictly modern angel. N00-la-la! This is a favorite expression of your language wizard KG. AJ when she finds that almost extinct species, the person who will get his French lesson without any qualms whatsoever. Maybe these adventurers' dreams never get so far as Paris, where the historians could show off their fluent knowledge of the language. Latin pupils might be thankful they weren't born back in the days they spoke Latin, having a vision of carrying a book of vocabula1'y for conversation. But the Romans would probably feel the same about Eng- lish. If you're one of those characters who love the fun- nies but find current events boring, you had better start growing up. Social studies will help a lot. HE WENT THAT-A-WAY. Nancy Stifiier writes English de- rivatives from Latin words and Bob Scheidler traces Caesar's wars and conquests. LATIN CLUB Row 1: J.

Hunting, fishing and boating are favorite pastimes of Myron Clark, math instructor. In plane geometry class you'll be taught the difference between a circle and a triangle, if you don't already know, by Mr. Clark, who attained his B.S. degree at Ball State Teachers College. In the business world you'll find math an asset. This course is directed by Leonard Ireland, who graduated from Ball State Teachers College with B.A. and B.S. degrees. In his sparc time, this pedagogue enjoys refereeing. NOW, HOW CAN I PROVE IT? Geometry students Connie Townsend and Dave Mahorney try to prove a proposition. Seventh and eighth graders get figurative knowl- edge pounded into their heads by three instructors, one of which is Harlan T. Kerlin, who left Indiana Central College with an A.B. degree. Mr. Kerlin pre- fers sports and music as sources of diversion. Completing the trio are Shurleigh Harterii, algebra and eighth grade math teacher, and Floyd Warnerli ii, seventh and eighth grade math instructor. 'fRecord of degrees, page 13.

Such subjects as lightning calculators, the history of math, famous mathematicians, and geometric de- sign were also entered in the conferences. Supervisor of the Math Club is Kenneth 0. Allee, general math, algebra, and trig teacher, who received his A.B. degree at Butler University and his M.A. at the University of Wisconsin. His leisure hours in the summer are spent fishing and tackling the game of golf. lf a train were coming north at fifty M. P. H. and another train were going south at sixty M. P. H., llow soon would they meet if they started at the same time? Any pupil recently instructed in algebra would find that little problem as easy as falling off a log. lf you're not one of those lucky characters, take off in a slow trot, with Mr. Allee or your Angelic Mathematician. With those two stuffing your brains, you'll soon catch the point. While we're on the sub- ject of puzzles, you might cast an eye in the direction of trig, that wonderful subject in which one can easily slave on one problem for hours.

Mr. Clark! shows these so-called scientists how to pour acid in a test tube and not necessarily all over themselves. When one of your Guardian Angel's wards strug- gles from chemistry into physics, he can start puzzling over some really complicated Hgures. I-Iere's where your angelic conscience-guider is vitally needed to keep minds from straying. On the biological side of science, Colon E. Parks helps underclassmen to prepare for their future in high school. Having received his B. S. degree from Indiana Central College, this science instructor is also a graduate of Indiana University, where he obtained his A.M. Puttering around in the garden proves more interesting than other forms of relaxation to this pedagogue. Also a teacher of general science, Mary M. Greene journeyed to Indiana University and Ball State Teachers College to earn her A.B. degree. Aside from teaching, this director of students is interested in travel, photography, and horsemanship.

Hartford City went through a rugged season, but it wasn't because of a lack of Judson Erne is a master of psychology as well as of basketball. He has the formula for putting that win- ning spirit into his squads, for arousing a team to heights they never knew. He knows how to pull a 'abeatenw player out of the dumps and restore the for- mer confidence that will bring the player back on his feet, stuffed with new zip and pep. Having coached the Airedales for the past four years, Mr. Erne has always maintained that an athlete will receive a more thorou h trainin in character, S S will learn more of the thin s that are vital in life, and S he overns his net char es thus. 3 g With an unlimited knowledge of basketball, Mr. Erne is the never-say-die, hard-driving type of coach that makes competitive sports so great. His players would go to any extreme for him. It would be a laborious task to seek a coach who is so interested and devoted to students as Mr. Erne is, and perhaps that explains his tremendous popularity throughout the high school. His astonishing record of advancement in our athletic program since his arrival speaks for itself. Leroy Brown Norman Cortright trying. The first three contests presented powerful foes, putting the immediate future of the Airedales in question. As it turned out later, losing those initial three was anything but a disgraceg for Peru, Portland, and Fort Wayne Central were quite habitual in kicking around other competition. But the Airedales were plunked into a sad predicament by the punishment. lt was simply a case of trying too hard in some circumstances, for the Airedales were out to slaughter. The pressure was so thick that it was almost impossible for the Ernemen to slide into the victory slot. It seemed that all opponents performed at their peak when the Black and Gold came along, with many of the enemy coachestadmitting as much. Battlingiall the way, the Airedales yielded many see-saw affairs in which the difference of abilities between winner and loser was invisible. But win or lose, they showed enough spark and scrap to keep their followers constantly boosting them. Not all Airedale history was recorded in tears, though. When the Montpelier Pacers were ready to record an upset over the locals, .l ack Hornbaker was produced out of thin air to throw in three quick baskets in the last three minutes to lead a l5-point barrage in a race against time, salvaging the Victory. Gene Kile stamped his name in the ledger by depositing 20 points through the nets during a terrific comeback against Elwood staged by the Ernemen, who missed winning by a hair- line. In what was strictly a blood pressure case, LeRoy Brown tipped the ball into the basket with two seconds remaining in the Decatur tussle, thus presenting Black and Gold with a one-point conquest. ,El 24 JN AIREDALE SCORES Hartford City ............

After walking on past, your mind is changed by the sound of G. A. clearing her throat indignantly. ' Then the mad rush for a seat! Seems as though everyone wants to sit in the exact spot you were aiming for. A wild tramping of saddles, and a group of senior girls are fighting over the seats-behind-thc- team bench. With a yip and a yea, the fighting Airedale five are welcomed on the floor by the crowd. Now the building is filled with boisterous voices as the band strikes up the school song. As the noise fades, the megaphone girls take over to put some spirit into the erowdgand the team. Chewing like mad on your fingernails, you watch the student manager lug perspirant removers on the floor for your five winded idols! Driven by a nagging thirst, you wander into the hall in search of sweet nectar to soothe your dry ton- sils. Not particular, you settle for a coke and contem- plate whether popcorn or ice cream would taste best at the moment. Luckily, by thrusting your coke above the throng of people, you emerge from their midst without a mishap. Back to your seat you speed, and by some odd coincidence, you find it still unoccupied.

The Airedale football warfare is capably piloted by Robert Traster, grid coach for three years. Mr. Traster nursed the sport back to life from its entomb- ment of twenty years previous to his arrival here and already, in his third year, developed a scrappy ag- gregation of football talent. All the complicated and catchy details of the gridiron are thoroughly drilled into the squad, and, with the fast, deceptive game that football is today, that is a man-sized task-plus. Laboring unceasingly in order to create a winner, Mr. Traster has indeed come a long way in schooling the Airedale grid aspirants. There is so much science, strategy, plotting, and diagnosing to the game today, it requires a sizable amount of research and consideration to scheme- a teamis next move. But Mr. Traster has been able to diagram his plays and strategy so that it is very easily absorbed by his team members. Highly popular with the players, students, and fans, Mr. Traster has injected into the team a spirit of team-play and co-operation that is the password in building men.

X Q. l 'af lv fff : N I lf! QM 'U i Q The Airedale football- ers opened for business by entertaining PERU, but the Tigers blotched the debut with a 20 to 13 spanking. Some con- solation was salvaged, however, when Langdon galloped 88 yards to the first Black and Gold touchdown. HUNTING- TON threw a big scare to the Airedale enthusiasts on invasion of the Vik- ing encampment, but our boys beat the gun this time, and, in a thrill- ing fourth quarter ex- hibition, recorded a 12 to 6 conquest. 0 After a long voyage to MONTI- ' -r CELLO the Black and Gold discovered the Tioga In- dians had little to offer, while! our line charged through hard, so the backs ran helter-skelter past the wreckage to a victorious evening, 13 to 0. 0 The home- towners gave ALEXANDRIA a warm welcome, cele- brating the return to the local premises with a 14 to 6 triumph. '5 If the Airedales were scenting for bigger game, though, they certainly were treated when AUBURN'S Red Devils came to town for a one- night stand, inflicting a tear-jerking 40 to 0 loss. O The Airedales took it out on an unfortunate and inexperienced TIPTON squad, as the visiting Blue Devils were mangled to a 27 to 6 count. 0 Without the services of the battering-ram, Langdon, the Black and Gold were capsized by PORTLAND 7 to 0 at the Panther battlefield. 0 WABASH's fast-breaking T3 formation nearly smothered the Airedales in the first quarter, but the Trastermen dogged their way back into the game and made it interesting, though losing 34 to 18. 0 Tragedy struck in the season finale when DECATUR paid a visit. The Airedales attempted a valiant comeback, but the clock intervened with the score favoring the Yellow Jackets, 14 to 13. Row 1: Edsel Langdon, Don Morris, Jerry Snider.

A well-balanced, well-lubricated machine was last year's cinder aggregation, which ambled through nine performances of the regular schedule variety and came out the winner in eight of these, reaching a near perfection as they trampled the unfortunate enemy. This machine contained a specialist in prac- tically every event of the track meet-one who worked at his event until he knew it forward and backward and could perform his duty blindfolded. Only Huntington, in a triangular affair with Columbia City and the Airedales, was privileged to boast a team victory over the Black and Gold mechan- ism, so soundly constructed by Coach 'LJ ol1nny Ire- land. Mr. Ireland has steered track back from a state of paralyzation, when the game was at a complete standstill several years back, on to its present appeal to huge congregations. The sport has reached a new popularity, creditable to Mr. Ireland's laborings. Able to take an entirely inexperienced youth of mediocre quality and extract unexpected ability from the boy, Mr. Ireland indeed has and will continue to manufacture future notables of the 'aoblong oval. His pleasing personality has scored many times with his acquaintances, and he is a figure known throughout the institution. The powerhouse which capably butchered the op- position of last season was mainly built of underclass- men. The principal feature of the thinlies was the all-around point-grabbing of Zippin' Zeke Langdon, the fleet dash-man owning a 190-pound chassis but blessed with a pair of very fleet feet. Zeke was Mold faithful in the broad jump, could heave the iron ball of the shot put an admirable distance, and roared home in the dashes consistently in the money. Through all this monotonous triumphant regularity, Zeke looted a mass of ribbons calculated to make the once stuffed chest of Herman Goering resemble the Sahara Desert. Aiding Zeke in the dashes, and the only proven conqueror of the latter in the 220, Gene Kile prefers the high jump. On the single occasion at which he was troubled, Gene leaped to the height of five feet, ten inches, his most distinguished flight. However, be- RACING THE STOPWATCH. CTop to bottoml Langdon finishes first in 100-yard dash. 0 Langdon gives out everything for broad jump. 0 Kile reaches a new high in high jump. 0 Elliott puts out for a grueling mile run. Track develops and strengthens bodies cause there was no one to give him much opposition, he seldom was forced to rise very high in the altitude during competition. The same applies to Wayne Hut- son, the 440 man. At the single meet in which he was really pushed, Wayne circumnavigated the oval at the tidy clip of slightly over 53 seconds. Also outstanding were Junior Taylor and Clarence Atkinson at the mile run, Norm Cortright in the hurdles, George Beidy in the shot put, and Forest Kimmel in the dashes. Rarely in the history of a high school's track per- formers does such a versatile and accomplished cinder artist happen along as Edsel Langdon, winner of last year's Sigma Phi Gamma Track Award. Edsel ac- cumulated the inflationary sum of 186 points in last year's campaign, centering his talents on the 100 and 200-yard dashes, the broad jump, occasionally the pole vault, and the shot put. With a gorilla-like physique, Zeke , as he is affectionately identified, has been chewing up the einders for four years, drawing a major letter award in each season. Heis the possessor of a hulk of the track and field records on the local athletic out-of- doors theater, as well as of many out-of-town stomp- ing grounds. He might he called the Jim Thorpe of the high school, for the distinction of averaging twenty points a meet in onels junior year isn't accom- plished every season. STRESSING SPEED.

Having been introduced by Mr. Erne four years ago, this group is open to any student who has achieved a major or minor letter award under the Airedale banner, be he a football player or a cheer- leader. The Rotary Club transported the H-winners to Muncie for the inspection of a hockey slugfest this year. And then in the spring came that colorful H-Club banquet. ROYALTY OF THE LETTERMEN.

These people lend their services in many dif- ferent ways, but all strive toward the common goal of having an effi- cient, clean school with an ambitious, energetic student body. G. A. greatly appreciates the indispensable presence of the administration, school board, Student Council, class officers, sponsors, janitors, Hi-Y, Y-Teens and many others. H Although your Guardian Angel has quite a bit of knowledge in her pint-sized head, there is always something she's trying to learn more about. One es- capade she recently undertook was finding out more about the superintendent and the school board. This is what G. A. learned: Mr. Blackburn, the superintendent, is an executive oflicer of the school board who acts as a go-between for the school board, the teachers and the community. He makes a report to the school board at the end of the school year, out- lining conditions that exist in the schools. Before he changes any study or textbook, he gains a request from the board. Complaints, requests, questions, and applications go through his oilice everyday. The school board members have complete control over the educational program of this community. They select the superintendent, and after he has made recommendations, they select the teachers, principals, DEBATING SCHOOL NECESSITIES. The school board-Clifford Kraning, Raymond Maddox, and George Fulton--meets in the office to discuss school problems. SPEAKING WITH AUTHORITY. Mr. Blackburn, superin- tendent, tests the svhoolls new recording machine. and supervisors. Still another of these educational abettors' duties is to put their o.k. on the textbooks and courses which the superintendent suggests. After these helpers of G. A.'s have had a pow-wow with Mr. Blackburn, they decide on the salaries to be paid Y, to all teachers and em- ployees. As you all know, to keep things straight where money is con- cerned, you just about have to have a budget- especially in a school. The school board of trustees looks over and establishes the budget which the superintend- ent and his helpers have worked out. ver important cogs SO IT SAYS HERE. Mr. Crouse, principal, consults the student handbook. Did you ever wonder what Mr. Crouse, principal, and Miss Borden, assistant principal, do during the time when you are occupied with the task of absorb- ing as much knowledge as possible? To give you a rough idea, let's run through some of the duties of your Guardian Angel's assistants. While the home rooms are still filled with sleepy occupants, Miss Borden checks the attendance, makes out the daily bulletin, keeps in order the time-taking accumulative records, which include all the grades you've ever made since you trotted off to school at the age of six-plus an almost complete history of your school life-and assists the principal in his duties. Mr. Crouse inspects the general course of study you have, to be sure it runs along smoothly. He also makes out a schedule for all the courses at the beginning of a semester, assigns a room for each, and assigns teach- ers to the courses. Seeing that the students are given the proper ath- letic training which leads to better all-around sports and develops teamwork is another task of the prin- cipal. When new equipment is bought for sports, such as basketball, football, baseball, and track, Mr. Crouse is responsible for the money spent and for the re- ceipts. 49 in school machinery All the functions carried on by school organiza- tions, which vary from parties and programs to dances, of which there are quite a few, bring in money and inevitably spend it. This is just another of the responsibilities added to our advisor's list. School just wouldn't be school without having some junior or senior high school students play hookey, skip a class, or commit some other misdemeanors, despite G. A.'s frantic efforts. All of these are prob- lems to be dealt with by Mr. Crouse, who sets up the rules for conduct to be followed by members of the school. Teachers with problem pupils, those who are inces- santly disturbing the class by one means or another, nring their reports to the office, where suggestions on how to handle them are given. Aside from all of these other time-taking tasks, Mr. Crouse is obligated to manage the school's guidance program. At the beginning of the semester you'd be surprised how many students get their programs so bawled up they don't know whether they're coming or going, and are forced to call for assistance. After graduation day comes around f and it's bound to one of these daysj , you'll either be headed for a job or for college. In either case, you'll need recommen- dations, and this chief is willing to lend you a helping hand. ABSENT AGAIN TODAY.

As Ted Besser, president of Student Council, and Miss Schaefer, faculty member in charge of the meet- ing, called the meeting to order, twenty-three repre- sentatives from your home rooms quieted down, after a few subtle nudges from your Guardian Angel. This scene took place many times during the past year. lt was quite a relief not having to strain to hear at programs this year after these ustudents' rights up- holders bought a new, workable amplifying system out of the activities fund. No matter how your heaven-sent Guardian scolded, a lot of wastepaper fiends kept right on strewing pa- per right and left on the school ground. Finally, your counselors decided to do something about it. First they cleaned up the yard and secondly they asked the school board to place five wastepaper containers on the grounds. Before noon comes around a lot of book menders suffer from empty stomachs. By selling ice-cream in the hall, these student representatives prevented any serious cases of starvation. Mr. Clark was the activi- ties treasurer. Many times during the past year your representa- tive asked you to give to worthy funds, such as the Junior Red Cross, Save the Shades, March of Dimes, Tuberculosis, and Red Cross Christmas boxes. 50 SENIOR HI-Y Row 1: B.

But now pigtails and freckles have vanished, as these sen- iors graduate with some anxiety hut more regret. Guiding them in their last year, Mrs. Williamson and Mr. Myers, sponsors, worked with the senior of- ficers-Gene Kile, president, Edsel Langdon, vice president, Patty Lange, secretary, and Wanda Blakely, treasurer. They made this busy last year run smoothly. One of the ways the seniors raised funds for their graduation activities was by selling magazines suh- scriptions.

More fun, if possible, than the Prom itself is decorating for it. When clothed in jeans and sweaters, all unite brains and brawn to outdo last year's class. ' Your Guardian Angel had a swell time during the junior class play, helping with lines and getting make-up on straight. N Strangely enough, these juniors are always thrilled to get their class rings: but you'd never know it by the way the jewelry changes owners so quickly. Within a week girls are flipping those left hands around quite a bit, and it doesnit take a second glance to see the ring with yards of tape on the back. Row 1: Shirley Monroe, Beverly Morrical.

The girls were decked out with tennis shoes, greasy faces, and no make-up to become members of Y- Teensg and the boys, not to be outdone, Wore aprons, lipstick, and hairbows for Hi-Y. One nice thing about the suffering those tenth graders Went through to get into Hi-Y and Y-Teens was their eligibility to attend their yearly banquet. G.

Frosh Worr about credits and courses Finally the cogs in the machines of their minds have started to run without too much pushing and oiling on the part of .your Guardian Angel, as they attain the long-awaited rank of freshmen. As greenies they make their first decisions planning for subjects that will be useful in the future and tak- ing first wobbly steps on their own two feet. College and a down-to-earth career at last are seri- ously brought to mind when these soloists find they're on their own. Thoughts of whizzing down the street on a big, red fire engine with the screeching of a siren in their ears, or parading gallantly in a hospital por- traying an angel of mercy, are no longer considered as ways to earn their bread and butter. Dreams have the oddest way of coming true-at least these freshies' do. For after a wait of two years that seemed a century, they can finally attend the high school dances.

Last stop between grade and high school Perhaps, although it may be disputed, this is the most blissful rung on the ladder that promises a di- ploma at the top. For it is in the eighth grade that your Guardian Angel turns actress and plays the role of cupid as girls sport their first curls and boys com- B pete for attention by making loud noises with their mouths and hanging innocent onlookers with their hooks. Skies look particularly gray when our heaven-sent helper overhears a teacher ask the eighth grader, 6'What time is it?

When it comes to sports, especially basketball and track, you ll find this agile Airedale right out in front. ' This film Hend, answering to the name of Gene Howard, Retro photographer, lands a top billing on anyonels list of polite people fa rarity in these daysl. Spring holds one main attraction for Gene, because then this catcher contracts his yearly case of baseball fever. Last year's prom queen is one of this year's tops in personality. Jeanette Alexander, senior, with a' com- bination of almost black curly hair and blue eyes, takes her place in her class as a leader in looks and disposition. Patty Lange's natural curly hair is enough to leave all bobby-pin collectors just slightly awed. Backing this up with a flashing smile and' winning ways, this Student Council representative creates a sensation that's hard to beat. A1 ,lolson has nothing on blond, blue-eyed John Cline, who sang ,lolson favorites for the school dance and carnival during the year with all the vigorous movements that accompany the original. This junior FAMILIAR FACES OF FAMOUS FOLK. Personalities of the year: Row 1: John Cline, Bill Perry, LeRoy Brown. Row 2: Anne Sullivan, Gene Kile, Marijo Peterson, .lo Ann Norris. Row 3: Jeanette Alexander, Gene Howard, Patty Lange. with the cocky grin likes sports, plays, football and basketball. Yelling Airedale praises and putting plenty of zeal in it is .lo Ann Norris, lithesome battle-cry director. Also president of Y-Teens, and INKSPOT news edi- tor, this junior has a delightful smile and an amiable remark for everyone. - Take a look in the book store and there you'll find Mari jo Peterson, brunette freshman with a merry smile and a radiant personality. One of the members of the gym gang, which meets about an hour before ballggames, this freshie is a staunch Airedale backer. Hidden behind a bashful smile you'll find Bill Perry, freshman. Easily one of the nicer guys to know, this athlete is a fervent basketball, baseball and foot- ball player. g Put attractive, blonde, and demure together and they add up to Anne Sullivan, an outstading sopho- more. A little on the sensibly silent side, this Student Council representative is charming, friendly, and a straight-A student. Known to the basketball team as nMitsy,'7 but a little better to you as Charles Brown, this athletically inclined sophomore is everybody's pal. X ,gt Xxlrf F U ,A 'e we ,f 1.
