Five Our Advisors Although they are not seen in the classrooms of Huntington High, the Superinten- dent and the School Board are important to the well-being of the school. Superintendent Burton H. Stephan and Clerk, Miss Fredith Langley, take care of everything from looking after the finance and budget of the city schools and the maintenance of the buildings, to seeing that the standards of the teachers and the courses are upheld. Working with the Superintendent is the School Board, composed of Mrs. Grace W. Grass, president; Mr. 0. K. Zeigler, secretary, and Mr. Frank C. Helvie, treasurer. Mr. Frank Helvie Mrs. Grace Grass Mr. Burton Stephan Mr. O. K. Zeigler I Six O - Principal Mr. Harold S. Johnson, our principal, has occupied The Room with the Carpet since 1941. In these three years he has won admiration lor his fine performance of the many duties connected with keeping a high school in smooth working order. Besides his work as principal, Mr. Johnson teaches a class in American history and civics. Although he is very active in civic affairs and in activities at H. H. S., he is always ready and willing to help the student in every way possible. As an added office attraction, we find Miss Imo Gene Snyder, our principal ' s very capable secretary. Between saying, May we have your attention, please? and selling war stamps, Imo Gene ' s office work keeps her pretty well occupied. However, she ' s never too busy to smile and help in every way she can. These people who occupy the bright, sunny offices from 204 to 206 will always hold a high place in the memories of students from H. H. S. Seven Master Harold S. Johnson Principal.

Buzzarri Eleven Guidance Department In six years Guidance has grown from a little acorn into a big oak. Started in 1937 through the efforts of Miss Wilson, it has en ' arged itself into a full-grown department touching every student in H. H. S. In 1940 room 208-A was partitioned off, and that year ' s graduating class furnished the room with it ' s modern, attractive desk, chairs, and filing cabinet. Now with Mr. Perrigo as head, the Guidance depart- ment consists of Mrs. Hillegas, Dean of Women and Sophomore Advisor; Mr. Gordon, Boy ' s Councilor and Junior Advisor; Mr. Gerdes, Freshman Advisor; and Miss E. Kline, Senior Advisor. Mr. Russell Perrigo Mrs. Bernice Hillegas Mr. Lester Gordon Mr. Bruce Gerdes Miss Emma Kline Twelve Health and Attendance Mrs. Elizabetti Sayle The Health Department, under the direction of Mrs. Sayle, has been very active this year by help- ing to curb epidemics, giving tuberculosis patch tests, giving dental and physical tests. The Huntington County Medical Association contributed the ir time and energy in giving the tests. The Attendance Department, of course, is always extra busy. Handling the job of keeping track of everyone from five to eighteen in Huntington, Mrs. Hazel Bechtold manages somehow to always have a smile and a pleasant word for everyone.

Huntington High School can never be accused of not being democratic. No one person tells the students what to do without the consent of the student governing body, or the Student Council, as it is called. Each of the home rooms elects a representative who attends all the meetings of this group. These representatives are chosen by their ideas on the rules of the school. Some of these are: conduct in the halls (whistling, running, yelling, etc.) ; conduct in auditor- ium sessions (if one must talk, please wait till the proper time and place) ; rules regard- ing the tardiness of pupils; plus numerous others. The Student Council has various duties to perform. The standing monitors are all members of the Student Council. This organization has charge of many of the religious programs, and it has been responsible for the huge success of the three War Loan drives during the 1943-44 school year. Their officers for this year have been: Pres., Jim Bowers, 1st semester, and Art Miller, 2nd semester; Vice Pres., Art Miller, 1st semester, and Dick Diffenbaugh, 2nd semester; Sec, Marilyn Caldwell.

Can ' t anybody do it? Yes! Anyone can do it if he proves himself worthy of the position. For instance, any girl who works in the guidance room must be prompt every morning and noon. She has to be very accurate in marking a person absent in the office attendance records. Would you appreciate it if Sally marked you absent, and you really were present in every class that day? Any irresponsible Ins would mark the girl or boy just above or below your name. So, as you can see, the attendance officers ' assistants deserve a lot of credit for the successful system of attendance, because their job is not an easy one. Those girls who spend one of their library periods in the office aren ' t in there watching for new boys to come in and register. They ' re in there to put forth some elbow grease; and believe me, they do it. Their job is to help make out report cards, answer the telephone, and do other necessary duties. We salute you, gals. At the beginning of each semester about six girls and six boys help rent books. Each girl has a boy to do the heavy work for her, such as lifting those huge text books. Not to be slighted are the gals who go back to their alma maters ' ' to rent books. This about takes care of student administration. What a spirit of helpfulness and usefulness H. H. S.er ' s have!

Most of the first year grind is over, and next year we ' ll be sophomores. By the way, do you know where we can get some tickets printed real cheap? They ' re for us to sell to next year ' s freshmen for eleva- tor rides! Our president was van Wilhelm.

The old members had a jolly time trying to cram biology terms into the heads of the new members via the electric chair method. To add to this excitement Pepsi-Colas were served, not as a drink that refreshes, but to give their hair extra luster and sheen. Manicures were given free of charge to all the unlucky ducks ' who before considered themselves fortunate to be members of such a distinguished group. The highest grade of mud packs were supplied for all those who weren ' t considered quite up to par with Betty Grable. With many other sorts of beauty supplies that you might find either on your dressing table or on the pantry shelf, the new members, if you would consider them in the mammalia class after that, were now considered official microbe hunters. The ones you are to blame for all this fun and cruelty are the officers, Don Smiley, president; Marilyn Zeigler, vice president; William Eberly, secretary-treasurer; and the sponsors, Mr. Butt and Miss Zahn.

Dlggln ' the Dirt This year, the Garden Club is more impc ant than ever before. The farmers are being over-worked, so the members of this Club are do- ing their best to aid the situation. Last fall, the Gardei Bb had a membership drive with two sides, the Corn Borers and the i nato Worms. The Corn Borers were forced to have a party for the winners (so you can guess which team won.) The G l Club has combined with the 4-H and now have the wl e count Bvork raising beans, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and what ever else groHrin a garden. In the fall, a garden exhibit was held in the Community Gym and prizes were given to the best displays. Twcnty-Tliref; We The Modulus Staff got theiv heads together way back in September and decided that this year ' s book was to be different. And it is — but definitely. Instead of being divided into sections such as Classes, Features, or Sports, it is divided into months; for after all the purpose of our Modulus is to serve as a calendar of events duruig the school year. As nearly as possible, each organization has been placed in the month in which it is most active. The staff had to forsake their hours in study hall; and during those periods when they were sup- posed to be in 202 preparing tomorrow ' s history, they were in that madhouse known as 310 getting all stuck up with rubber cement or changing the dummy. It was even necessary once or twice for the editor and photographer to abandon a favorite class 111 order to get some copy or snaps in before the dead- line. Such sacrifice! Seriously, this year ' s staff has been strictly on the ball, and special thanks goes to Mr. McClurg for his contribution of time, patience, and elbow grease. Also much credit should be given to the Art Editors and all other staff members for their originality in the presentation of the 1944 Modulus. The Advertising Staff seemed to have as their goal Bigger and Better Ads , and they certainly reached that goal. Tramping around to all of Hun- tington ' s business offices, factories, and shops solicit- ing ads is often a thankless task; but without it our Modulus would not be. To the Advertising StafI goes a vote of thanks.

Sam, playing his fourth year of football, was ticketed to be one of Huntmgton ' s outstanding quarterbacks; but a leg fracture cut short his high school football career after playing in four games. This break, however, did not keep him from being selected on the All Conference Team as an outstanding back. Shngin ' Sam ' was a smart field general and a pass- er deluxe. Sam was elected Honorary Captain at the end of the season. Schuyler Haines, Left End. Playing his first year of football, Skeets really went to town. He received every vote for All Conference End and made honorable mention on the All State Team chosen by Heze Clark every year. He was an out- standing pass receiver and one of the best defensive ends Huntmgton High has ever produced. Jim Hull, End. Perry , now in the Army Air Corps, played a bang up game at right end for the Vikes. Jim ' s leg injury in the Wabash game put him on a spot for the remaining games, but he proved to all he could really deliver the goods. John Michael, Full Back. Big Mike ' s consis- tent play and hard driving habits at the old No. 4 spot rates him as a ball player ' s ball player. Mike is now m the Navy Au ' Corps. Jim Bowers, Right Half. Red , playing his third year of football, did a swell job of blockmg at the wing back and finally came into his own as a punter. Red is now enrolled in law shool at Indiana University. Kenny Renz, Center and Tackle. Kenny started the season at center and really filled the bill ' ' ; but later, due to his aggressive play was moved into a tackle spot. Kenny sacrificed his chances for All Conference Center to help the Vikes at the tackle position. He is now in Indiana University studying medicine. Thirty Skeet Haines Bill Ehinger Bob Hummer Jim Bowers John Michael Bob Hummer Mark Hammel Coach Oscar Naab Jim Hildebrand Dick Stephan, Left Half. Shotgun ' s sparky running and pass-catching ways were al- ways good for extra yardage. Although light in weight and hampered by a bad back, Shotty gave every ounce he earned for the Football Vikes. Jack Biehl, Quarterback. Jackson took over the Quarter slot after Sam ' s injury and did a swell job. His passing to Haines was outstanding especial- ly in the final game with Peru. He also did so me punting for the Vikes. Jerry Heindselman, Fullback. Walt ' s ability to play any backfield position was a great value to the Vikes. Walt was another four year man. Max Herzog, Right End. Slats served as stu- dent manager two years and finally got to play foot- ball his senior year. Slats made up for his lack of the passes that later led to the winning touchdown in the Peru game was one of the high spots in his high school football career. Bill Biehl, Guard. Syracuse , playing his fourth year of football, was called to the Navy after the North Side game. Rex Myers, Tackle. Modoc came to Hun- tington his senior year for his first taste of football. His lack of experience held him back somewhat, but his determined ways made him a part of Viking foot- ball. Ed Gordon, Junior Guard. Gardenia , All Conference Guard and All State Guard, has joined the Marines and will be throwing blocks for Uncle Sam, as will Juniors Gal Piepenbrink and Bill Mann this coming tall. Thirty-One On tke Bait Our Viking football squad opened the season on September 10 by traveling to Marion. Revenging last year ' s loss in the opener, the Vikes held the Giants to one touchdown, winning 53-6. On September 1 7, we were visited at the local turf by the Central Catholic (Fort Wayne) team. Again the Sea Rovers came out on top with a score of 18-0, which is the same score by which Central Catholic won over the Vikes in last year ' s game. On September 24, the Wabash Apaches invaded the home field and carried away the prize by winning 7-0. It has almost become a custom to expect it to ram during the Huntington-Wabash game. This year was no exception — it rained during the first three quarters. The Vikes were defeated again when the Central High School of Fort Wayne racked up the score of 30-0 against us. The Central fullback, Ramsey — the one-man track team — literally ran all over the local field. On October 8 the Vikings traveled to Warsaw where they lost by a score of 21-6. Using a new T formation for the first time, we showed promises for future games. On October 15 the North Side High School (Fort Wayne) carried off top honors at the Vikings ' field by a score of 27-0. Our new T formation kept the visiting team guessing many times. The Vikes traveled to Elwood on October 20, losing again 33-14. At Bluff ton on October 29 the Norsemen lost to another of those one-man teams — the Tigers ' right halfback making all the points. The final score was 20-0. On November 5 thfc Vikes went to Peru and came out on top with a win of 6-0. In the very last minutes of the gamte a forward pass was completed and the Norse went over for the only score of the game. The 1943 Viking Football Team after a fine start charged into a ' line of injuries, ' that would have discouraged most teams, but the greatness of this Viking team showed up in their courage to battle on and finally beat a good Peru team in the final game of the season! The Vikes never faltered in team spirit, fairness, and their clean, hard- driving habits on the gridiron. They are a great team and certainly a group of young men that Huntington can be very proud of! ' —Coach H. B. Williams. As a climax to the athletic season, the ten Central Indiana Conference teams were guests on May 5 at a banquet held at the Masonic Temple, Huntington. This banquet honored the football, basketball, and track athletes from each school. Especially re- cognized will be the conference champs in the various fields. Warsaw and Elwood were co-champs in football; Burris of Muncie, in basketball; and the track champ was determined at the track meet held at Kriegbaum Field preceding the banquet. The toastmaster of the event, which was attended by two hundred boys and coaches, was Rev. Robert Hutchinson. Mr. Harry Geisel, former American League baseball umpire and an outstanding personality in the field of sports, spoke to the group. Thirt ' - ' rwo RLnky-Dlnks The Rinky Dink football squad of this season possecsed both quantity and quality. An unusually large number of boys reported for the squad and stayed out the entire season. In past seasons enthusiasm ran high in September but rapidly diminished to- the end of the seaion; however, this year pep and spirit remained high through- ward out. Due to traveling restrictions the Rmky Dmks played only two inter-school games. Both games were played with Wabash. The first game, played at Huntington, was won by Wabash by a score of 7 to 0; the second, played at Wabash, was won by Huntington, 19 to 7. In the last game Bob Luce scored three touchdowns for the Rinky Dinks. Many of the Rinky Dink squad were playing their first football this season. A greater part of the practice time was spent in drilling on fundamentals, which are so essential in the formation of a winning team. Much valuable experience was gained by the squad, and many of its members are destined to become future Vikings. Crystal Gazing Prospects are good in building the 1944 Football Model of the Vikes. One might describe them as a long, lean, and hungry inexperienced gang of victory seekers. If the desire to be a rugged, tough ball team is strong enough in their spines we may have a very desirable season facing us in 1944. From a distance such men as Wasmuth, Cozad, Davis, Hoover, Dimond, Holliday, Schenkel, Hendricks, Wogan, R. Voder, Oden, Priddy, Fordyce, and Bostel have their eyes on the seven starting line jobs. The backs who are shooting for a starting job seem to be Olinger, Luce, Burkhart, Robinson, Mur- dock, Morris, Stephan, Kussmaul, Rohm, Shultz, Wilhelm, Meckstroth, Martin, Leweke, and Caley. Several other young gentlemen may upset the cart and take over a starting job by next fall. Thirty-Three Booster Club ■ II Murnie Coming The Boosters dribbled off in fine shape this year under the captaincy ' ' of Murn Zeigler. Her right forward, Arden Peting; and her left for- ward, John Harp Harvey ably assisted her. The club was guarded by Bruce Gerdes. When (and of course you always did) you went to the basketball games, you might have thought that the front rows were beuig taken over by the country; but what you really saw were the Boosters warming the bench. The Booster uniforms con- sisted of a size 42 (perfect fit) overall jacket with Booster pauited on the back as illustrated by Murn. Murnie Going The Boosters did a bang up job of yelling, originating a few of their own this year, being blocked by no one. The Booster Club was dropped for a few years but was recharted again this year. It is made up of seventy-five players , all being juniors and sen- iors. However, eleven were taken in via the speech method. During one of the pep sessions they were required to give pep-talks in front of the student body. The Club really started out with a zest this year with no personal fouls on anyone. The Boosters are really on the ball ! Thirty-Four Sweater Boys The H Club is a living example that heroes are made, not born. The glory of being a letter man is well earned, as the members must be major letter men, all of which means giving up a lot of activities and pleasures for the sake of athletics. In the H Club, each letter has a special meaning. The H stands for health and happuiess, C for cleanliness of mind and body, as well as co-operation, an absolute essential in athletics. The L stands for learning, both on the field and in school. U is for upstanding, and B for backing, both absolutely necessary for good sportsmanship and winning teams. Officers for this year have been Skeet Haines, president; Sammy Hum- mer, vice president; Jack Biehl, treasurer, and Jim Bowers, secretary. The H Club, striving for and attaining these goals, truly makes a fitting tribute to the glory of H. H. S. Making with tke Noise Those jumpin ' , jivin ' acrobats you saw doing their stuff at the games this year are known as yell leaders. This year ' s own- ers of those vibrant vocal cords were Nan Clark, Jean Amick, Glen Harsh, and Ray Humbert. They really put a lot into their yells and a good share of credit H. H. S. has for its swell cheering section goes to them. We must not forget Dick Peopas, who substituted for Ray when he played basketball. He did a fine job. And that goes for all of the yell leaders. Nice goin ' , kids! Thirty-Five ds ax di Lax y October 1st — Buzz is home!!! Jim Bowers, Arden Feting, IMarjcrie Schenkel. and Nancy Hughes were elected officers of the Book-of-;he-lMonth Club. We played Central ot Fort Wayne here. The Vikes were a little off the beam tonight, but we ' re still behind them 100%. October -ith — Ad solicitors of the Modulus staff started to work. The G. A. A. had an open meeting at 3:30 for prospective members. The Jr. Masque and Gavel met at 3:45. But to top it all the DeMolay Hayride was held in the evening. Per usual, everyone had a wonderful time. Several alumni were there in uniform . . . they tell me. October 5th — School went off today same as usual. Jackets and shoes are sti!l full of straw. At 7:30 the Jr. Hi-Y had its open meeting. October 6th — Though we hated like furv to miss our classes, we felt it well worth our while to see Little Women with Kathryn Hepburn. Brrrrr!! That auditorium was cold- Lowell Buzzard was speaker at Hi-Y. October 7th — At 4:00 today the Modulus staff decided on a white and fuscia cover for the annual publication. Yes, Dr. Fager knows all about color-blindness . . . Office hours 9 to 5. (I told you the ad committee was at v,;ork!) October 8th — The Actuariae met at 3:30. Again tonight Huntington fans dug up some gas stamps ... or d ' d we employ that 5ch finger to get to Warsaw to see the Tigers win, 19 to 7? Anyhow, the Vikes played a good game. October 11th — We really got a bit of interior shaking up today at 8:20 when we saw Letter from Bataan , a war film. Some of us needed to take inventory of ourselves. The girls ' gym leaders had a dinner meeting at six. October 12th — What! No meeting? No auditorium? No picture show! Well, I guess I ' ll have to look at my pro- gram to see what my regular schedule is. October 13th — Today we were init ' ated . . . The Speech Club at 3:30 and the Cleaner-Speech Club about 4 hours later. (Sr. Hi-Y). October 14th — There was a Sunshine meeting at 3:30. We signed up for various committees and clubs. October 15th — Heard a Navy Day Newscast today. This evening North Side played us on our native soil. The score was 24 to 0, but we don ' t talk about that. October 18th — Miss Zahn called a meeting of all girls inter- ested in going out for Sunshine Glee Club. They asked us to pay our library fines before Wednesday. I ask you now, who wants report cards any way? October 19th — The Needlework Gu ' ld and the Booster Club organized. Murnie, Arden and Harp were elected chief Boosters. The Actuariae met at 3:30. Buy War Bonds! October 20th — We played Elwood there Score: Elwood 33, Vikes 14. Oh my! October 21st — No school, so of course it rained. And on the day of a hayride, when it rains, it pours. Several couples ventured out. but the hay wagon didn ' t show up: so they just stuck around to down their troubles in . ■ . rain. October 22nd — Hope the teachers are enjoying the institute as much as we are enjoying our vacations. It is lots more fun than going to school. October 25th — How do I look? Is my hair okay? Please may I use your mirror? (Modulus pictures today.) October 26th — DeMolay 1st degree practice tonight. The home room period was used for a meeting in the auditorium concerning the Junior Nursing Corps. October 27th — Had a Navy program at 8:15. The Needle- work Guild members ate their lunches out of sacks today. 4:00 was the Deadline for Biology Club applicants. New Actuariae members were initiated formally at Mrs. Butz ' s home. Ideas for National Book Week were discussed. George Kimmel spoke to Sr. Hi-Y as part of Navy pro- gram. I guess we ' ve had a busy day! October 28th — What! You forgot your report card again? Too bad! Your grades will be cut 1 letter. C. A. P. C members went to Ft. Wayne this evening. October 29th — Boooooo! It ' s Halloween!!! — or nearly so. The Jr. Masque and Gavel gave us cold chills as they portrayed the experiences of Rastus and Celestine over newscast this morning. The Art Club and their guests went to the Hobgoblin Hop at the Water Works Log Cabin. Just think, in a couple days October will be noth- ing but a ghost ' s shadow. How time flies! Vikes played Bluffton there. Luck was against us, and the score was 20 to 0, their favor. Thirty-Six Thirty-Seven Sopkomores Tom Rohm. Betty Ann Day. Miss Cage. Dick Windemiith, Joe Biirkhart Still the in betweens , the Sophomores, with all their studies, had a good time. Having been in H. H. S. now for quite some time, they felt like old timers but were frequently reminded that they were still underclassmen. Their choice of officers this year was: Joe Burkhart, president; Dick Windemuth, vice-president; Tom Rohm, secretary, and Betty Ann Day, treasurer. The main event of this class of ' 46 was their class party which really went over big. Maybe it isn ' t so bad being a wise fool after all!

The officers were as follows : President, Doris Summers ; vice-president, Steve Carl- son; secretary, Nancy Paul; treasurer, Nancy Winebrenner, and sponsor, Mrs. Margarete Butz. All the bright posters and book covers you saw in the halls were either made or distributed by the Actuariae. Also in their hands rests the Book-of-the-Month Club. The Actuariae did a fine job of handling the Annual Book Week. Two book reviews and a newscast were sponsored by the book-lenders. They climaxed a year packed full of activities by a trip to Indian- apolis to visit libraries. Butz and Her Buc c ies First Row — Benita Meese.

The Book-of-the-Month Club has had a hard time this year finding a room large enough in which to meet. Outgrowing first 208, then 1 06, the auditorium was finally found as the only room in H. H. S. big enough to seat the enthusiastic members of this active club. It ' s easy, inexpensive, and interesting to keep up on the latest novels as well as the world famed classical literature when you belong to the Book-of-the-Month Club. Every month books are ordered and at the end of five months a free book is given. Officers were elected at the beginning of the first semester; but when Jim Bowers and Marjorie Schenkel, who were then president and secretary, respectively, left in January, the organization was revised. The officers at present are Arden Peting, president; Emmy O ' Harrow, vice- president; Nancy Hughes, treasurer, and Virginia Swartz, secretary. The main grievance of the club this year has been the delay in get- ting the books here from the printers; but, patiently realizing that the printing industry has gone to war, we have taken this in our stride, and altogether, members of The Book-of-the-Month Club feel as though they have had a successful and enjoyable year.

Forty-Five dsax di tax y November 1st — Halloween has gone, taking October with it, witch just ghost-a show you that time, even school time, really flies. November 2nd — The National Scout officers were speakers at the G. A. A. meeting today. But for the fellows and the in-a-door gals school went on same as usual. November 3rd — The Senior Hi-Y met at 7:30 to hear Mr. Stephan speak on Prejudice. ' November 4th — Again we dragged our weary carcuses to school. Monotonous, isn ' t it? November 5th — We played Peru there and ended up the season with a really exciting game. Score was 6-0. our favor. November 8th — Since this is the beginning of Education Week, the ' Visual Ed. Department showed a film to the whole school . . , not just the study hall students. November 9th — A breathing spell. It seems that this week has been rather uneventful compared to some- It gives us a chance to do our early Christmas shopping, but some- how we just don ' t feel like it yet. Do we need capsules or just some little green bills? November 10th — We ' re always glad to see Wednesday come because our morning classes are shortened due to the Guidance program. Bob Webster gave the fellows a verbal view of life in the Marines at Hi-Y tonite. November llth — This is Armistice Day. I guess everyone wishes more than anything that it were. There was some- thing different about the program this morning, or was it just a difference in the audience? At any rate, the thoughts presented by Reverend Hutchinson, Nancy Hughes, Dick Morgan and Miss Zahn were on our minds all day. November 12th — The Art Club and a few Modulus staff members took the 12:30 bus to Ft. Wayne. The prospec- tive artists saw a student at the Ft. Wayne Art school sculpture a bust of Gene Becmer. Some of the group re- turned on an early bus for the Hi-Y log cabin party, but the majority stayed to see Claudia. November 15th — The faculty got real fancy today and near- ly drove us mad when they made a very important an- nouncement in Latin, German, and French. There we were dying of curiosity, remembering the days when Dad and Mom used to take advantage of our inability to spell. The announcement turned out to be nothing but a faculty party at the salon de Madame Luther. Himmel! November 16th — Yesterday we observed that it was Book Week by noting posters in the halls and bookjackets in the class-rooms. Today we learned that Mrs. Everett D. Hood will give her annual book review Thursday. Mr. Wegman spoke to the seniors on delinquency. November 17th — Jims Hull and Hildebrand were given a send-off at Hi-Y. Both are leaving for Jefferson Barracks, Mo. The Hi-Y supper for the unfortunate was held at 8:30. November 18th — Guess they had quite a bull session at Hi-Y last nite. A little bull goes a long way . . . and sometimes does a lot of good. November 19th — Say, this auditorium committee is right in there! We really got a bang out of George Davis and his Riley poems! The Booster Club organized at 4:00, and the Book Week-Faculty tea was held. Say, how ' bout that? WE pay library fines: yet the teachers drink the tea. November 22nd — The Sunshine meeting scheduled for 10:00 was called off. The freshman Girl Scout troop met in the Public Service auditorium while Jr. and Sr. Masque and Gavel meetings were held at 7 and 8, respectively, and the Modulus staff met with Mr. Montague at 7:15. ' What an evening. November 23rd — The Junior Candy Sellers signed up with Miss Zahn today at 10:15 for basketball season. Seems hardly possible that it is time for our hibernative sports already. November 24th— V-V-VIK, I-I-ING, VIK-ING, Vikings! ' Vikings! Vikings! Come on Vikings, Fight on Vikings, for the red and black and the glory of Huntington High . . . WHEEEEE! Isn ' t it wonderful to be back to the good old Hoosier sport again? We had a bang-up pep session today with new Booster Club members being initiated by giving pep talks. We won the game over Warren 37 to 33. The Vikes are really hot! Thanksgiving Day is sometimes spent being thankful that school has been dismissed until Monday, but we really are thinking a little more seriously about its meaning this year. November 26th — Slept until soon again today — ah! Sweet repose! Tonite Warsaw was added to our list of con- quered opponents. The Booster members appeared tonite in their new jackets. They are . . . well, shall we say different? November 29th — Monday is here. No more vacation until Christmas. Back to routine. The archery team practiced at 4:00. Members of the Biology Research Club initiated several neophytes including Miss Zahn, who is the new faculty advisor, at the Waterworks Cabin this evening. I ' ll bet those new members were glad when November end- ed, finding them safe at home again. Forty-Six Forty-Seven Speakers Hear ye I Hear ye! Step right upl We have here the most sensational organizataion composed of thirty-five speakers, dramatists, and debaters. They will provide you with the best kind of entertainment. But seriously, the Masque and Gavel has really put their motto, Speech for Use , into practice this year. Due to gas-rationing, the group was unable to participate in many outside speech conferences, but kept plenty busy at home. The members have presented twelve plays, taken part in several debates and discussions, and presented newscasts over the p. a. system, much to the enjoyment of all. The play, Love in Bloom, which was presented eight times for different groups, went over big with everyone. The cast included Mary Esther Dunkin, Nonnie Ross, Ruth Stamper, Arden Feting, Nancy Herbst, Don Smiley (who is now m the V-12 program), Marjorie Marx and Bill Eberly. Richard Morgan, another member, placed first in the Rotary Oratorical Contest. Several other mem- bers took part in individual speech work, representing the club. Senior Masque and Gavel is sponsored by Mrs. Patterson and is led by the officers: Ruth Stamper, president; Mary Esther Dunkin, vice president; William Eberly, secretarly; Rex Michael, sergeant-at- arms, and Nonnie Ross, newcast chairman. The group has been of great service to the community in providing entertainment. First Row — Beverly Richardson, Vivian Brubaker, IVIrs. Patterson, Nonnie Ross. Phyllis Stover, Lois Stone- braker.

Speechless This group, better known as Junior Masque and Gavel, has certainly done its share of the barking this year. Once a month the members have had charge of newscast and usually they leave the student body with aching sides. Their skits about ghosts and Sinatra are really clever. The purpose of this club is to teach the members things which will be of benefit to them when they become members of the Senior Masque and Gavel. This group, with fifty members, is directed by Edward Beatty, president; Phyllis Stover, vice-presi- dent; Steve Carlson, secretary, and Peggy Doherty, sergeant-at-arms.

Indiana University tool; Kenny Renz, who had served as president, and Jim Bowers, who was the vice-president. Their successors were Bob Huffman and Bob Hummer, respectively. While we were about it we elected Max Herzog treasurer. Needing someone large enough to hold his own against any civil insurrection. Mo , excuse me, Rex Myers, was appointed ser- geant-at-arms. This year Sr. Hi-Y has had more meaning due to the stress created by the war and the call of our country on our particular group of fellows. Also thfcse conditions have heightened our fellowship because we have the privilege of having old members return to speak to us. The spirit of fellowship was enlivened by the introduction of group singing for the first time in Hi-Y. Such songs as Let Me Call You Sweetheart and I ' ve Been Working On the Railroad, etc., were sung under the leadership of Gene Garber and Bill Freed. Bill, the accomplished vocalist, had to go on alone after Gene left in mid-year. Perhaps there wasn ' t always harmony; some thought it might better be labeled hominy (corn). But seriously, throughout the year, Hi-Y had various fine speakers on their pro- Fifty Handsome First Row — Art Miller, Ira McCliirg.

As a climax to the activities of the year the annual Mother-and-Son and Father-and-Son Banquets were held at the V. M. C. A. Bruce Gerdes successfully sponsored Senior Hi-Y throughout the year, although he was quite busy as a teacher and as assistant manager of the Huntington theatres. Sponsored by Ira McClurg — the only sponsor they had all year, too — the Jr. Hi-Y had a good season filled with instructive and entertaining programs. Hazel Cake spoke on manners and personality and Louis Wegman on juvenile delinquency; Dunninger Perrigo (Russell to the rest of the world), held us spellbound with his magical feats. Other events were a swimming party, the traditional hay-ride, and several religious services. The officers for this year were Richard Morgan, president; Marvin Priddy, vice president; Dean Stephan, secretary-treasurer; Bob Alshouse, sergeant-at-arms and athletic chairman; Bob Carr, program chairman. At the district Older Boys Conference held here in February, Marvin Priddy was elected district president and Dick Morgan, district secretary. The club had a good representation at the State Older Boys ' Conference held at Indianapolis in October. Fifty-One Pasko. Eiianna Thorn, Erma Richardson.

Bob Choir The hi-h school choiv has been enlarged both in membership and program of study. This year, as every year, the choir and band put on a music concert during the Christmas season climaxing the pro- gram with a combined band-cho.r arrangement of Berlm ' s White Christmas , The choir also sang at he Holy Week service at the school and the Easter Sunrise Service Forty members were enrolled in he choir this year. There is also a special all graduating-senior choir of 60 members that sang tor the Baccalaureate Service. , , • ,■ r ii l • j Mrs Branyan, who is also supervisor of music in the public city schools, is director of all choir and chorus groups. William Eberly is student director, and Keith Rich is accompanist. Palette Pats This year the Art Club, which is now caHed Entre-Nous (meanmg for the benefit of the non-French students among ourselves ) , has been busy with pencil, brush, and chalk. The first meeting of the season was a Hallowe ' en weiner-roast plus all the extras; spooks, ghosts and gobhns. Events of the evening: William Billy Boy Freed took over the president from Elizabeth L.b- by Rowe, after which a Conga line was formed. (The artists quickly shook off the.r troubles). _ Other interesting projects were Sketch Parties held at the Y (favorite model-Joan Gikison s Scotty dog), a trip to Fort Wayne to the Art School, a trip to Chicago, and a confectionery stand at the annual H Club-Faculty game. To end the year in informal dinner dance was given at the Hotel Lahontaine. First Row — Bill Beeme;-, Bill Freed, Stan- ley PontiOLis, Elizabeth Rowe, IVIrs. Roush.

Jane Brown, Ruth Luther The G. A. A. Stands for the Girl ' s Ath- letic Association (imagine that). The robust rulers of this year ' s club were as follows: president, Sarah Spentzos; vice-president, Annabelle Russell; secre- tary, Jane Brown, and treasurer, first- sem ester, Doris Summers, second semes- ter, Marvelene Hite. To be a member of this sports lov- ing organization you must have earned 100 pomts. The pomts may be earned by participation in various sports. The projects of the G. A. A. have been many. They sold attractive Christmas cards (prior to Christmas, incidentally) and sponsored two speakers: Miss Ruth Sumner from Girl Scout Headquarters and Mrs. R. G. Johnston who spoke at the Mother and Daughter banquet. The girls enjoyed a trip to North Manchester to the Play Day at the College. Eleven girls attended and had a super-duper time. When (and if) you see a sweater that has a big red H on it (and a girl in it) walking around the halls, you will know that this has been won by 250 hard-earned points (not ration points). Girls winning H ' s this year are as follows: Marilyn Zeigler, Susan Hemphill, Iris Summers, Annabelle Russell, Jo Funk, Pat Williams, Marvelene Hite, Sarah Spentzos, Jane Brown, and Marilyn Cald- well. The highest G. A. A. award given is the State Plaque. To win this award you must have 350 points to your credit. The following girls won their pla- ques this year: Mary Triggs, Janice Rose Brown, Dons Sum- mers, and Marilyn Zeigler.

Girts Atkletic Association Too many people think that sports are boys ' games, but this is the evidence that proves they are not. Whether it ' s archery, tennis, or basketball, you won ' t find the girls wondering if their hair will fall or not. Let us look in on our ladies of the Sherwood Forest. The girls really hit the Bull ' s-eye this year, with eight girls qualified for the Bowman Pin (score of 100 from 20 yards), and three qualified for the Bowman Bar (score of 130 from 20 yards). Twenty-one girls qualified as N. A. A. yeomen. Susan Hemphill shot her way to victory in the tournament with 144 points. Also in the running were Janice Rose Brown with 139, and Marthetta Ervin with 130 points. A large number of girls t urned out for volleyball, despite jammed thumbs and sore muscles. After nights of hard work, a team was weeded from many enthusiasts. Tennis was a very popular sport this year. After the girls learned how to handle a racquet, a tournament was held. The singles tournament was taken by Mary Triggs with Jo Funk as runner-up. Charlotte Rahn and Pat Burke smashed their way to the blue ribbon in doubles while Jean Amick and Barbara Bonebrake took the red ribbon. In the basketball speed test Marilyn Ziegler shot I 13 baskets in five minutes. Some record. First Row — Evelyn Gephart, Helen Sheppard, Betty Morris, Peggy Jo Horn. Richard Morgan.

Fourth Row — Edna Roudebush, Barbara Huser. Comprenez-Vous? Parlez-vous Francais? If you don ' t, a French Club meeting is hardly the place for you. The members of Le Cercle Francais not only eat it up — they speak it. Sounds impossible, but ' tis true. Madame Hillegas and all of her following get a big bang out of the monthly meetings. President Ed Winter, Vice-President Helen Sheppard, and Secretary Dick Morgan stand by to see that busmess comes before pleasure. Each member is required to have a certain amount of written or oral preparation ready for each meetuig as his part of the program. Yes, I guess these kids really mean business. Their ultimate goal seems to be to speak more like the French than the French themselves. Well — we ' ll see you — Au revoir! Outside Interests In H. H. S. there are several organizations not connected with the school, but having great influence on it. Most outstanding of these perhaps are the swimming team and the C. A. P. C. The Y. M. C. A. Boys ' swimming team has kept up its record this year by again taking the State Championship. The C. A. P. C. is a group of air-minded fellows and girls sponsored by the Civil Air Patrol. Both of these organizations have worked hard and accomplished much this year. dsai di Lax y December 1st — Santa Claus is comin ' to town . . .today! Do you suppose he ' s ... I mean . . . gee, I wish. I wish I had a paper doll to call — Sally. (That ' s prettier than My Own anyway, isn ' t it? And much more original.) December 2nd — The Patterettes and the swimming team organized today. The Needlework Guild and Sr. Hi-Y also met. As time marched on, it was indicated by a very strange timepiece in the trophy case- It belongs to George Scannell, and Mr. Mahoney seems to be an authority on its mechanism. He spent his time between classes explain- ing it to several teachers and students. December 3rd — Friday is here. Sorry, but we can ' t stay home to entertain it. ' We have a big date with the ' Vikcs tonight at ' Wabash. Ahhhh! We can sleep in peace! We won. 29 to 20. December 6th — Mary ' White Guild members were asked to turn in their discarded clothing some time today. Since I don ' t get around much, I really don ' t know what for. December 7th — Room 207 remembered Pearl Harbor today with their 100% participation in War Stamp sales. We were all reminded of it by Captain Clark Gable in his picture entitled Wings Up. Had to sacrifice our library periods, but the auditorium wasn ' t too sparsely populated anyway. Rev. McKain was our speaker for our religious program today. December 8th — Wednesday A. M. schedule. The Sun- shine Council met at 12:15, the S. S. S. Comm. at 2:35, and the Sr. Hi-Y at 7:30. I guess we had meetings. December 9th — Going to Rochester tomorrow? Better get your train ticket right away ' cause they ' re going like hot- cakes. There was a P. T. A. meeting in the library this evening. December 10th — C- A. P. C. and G. A. A. members held meetings at 2:30. Can ' t say how many attended because everyone I talked to left for Rochester at that same hour. Mac and Mrs. Mac chaperoned us, and the trip was most enjoyable. Our bliss was checked a little later in the evening by the small matter of a 10 point margin when Rochester bounded ahead a bit. December 13th — The joint meeting of Jr. and Sr. Masque and Gavel was in the form of an open meeting tonight in the auditorium. It was a Christmas program to which the public was invited. There was a band concert yester- day afternoon at H. H. S. From all reports I guess it really is just one more indication that we have a band that ' s a credit to our school. December 14th — Only six more school days before Christmas vacation! The usual holiday spirit isn ' t with us yet, but the vacation spirit never dies. Teachers are going mad trying to get their classes to simmer down for another week. December 15th — There was a Sunshine meeting this after- noon at 2:30. The Big Sisters had a party for their young- er relatives after school . . . they probably felt they should make up for Green Day in some way. December 16th — The Mary White Guild had a Christmas potluck today. School went on same as usual, but not for long. Only four more days. December 17th — The M. M. S. made plans for a skating party during the holidays. Sounds like fun, huh! The Pep Session we had today certainly brought results. The fans cheered the Vikes on to a 33 to 22 victory. December 20th — Looks like we ' re starting in with the usual pre-holiday rush this week. The Jr. Hi-Y meeting was called off because of it, and the Needlework Guild con- tributed to it by having a party. The Patterettes gave their annual Christmas program at the county infirmary tonite. December 21st — The girls had some exciting intramural vol- ley ball games in the gym this afternoon at 4. But the most exciting game of the day was the one the Vikes played at Bluff ton. The score was 31 to 37. Oh, well, it wasn ' t a conference game, anyhow. December 22nd — Today the sun rose ... at 7:30 and set at 4:16. At 1:30 winter began. The girls in the Gene Strat- ton-Porter scout troop went to a meeting at Margaret Chenoweth ' s house tonite. December 23rd — Came to school this morning for a Christmas program presented by Masque and Gavel. It was an- nounced that the M. M. S. skating party is called off. C. A. P. C. met at the Hotel at 7:00, and DeMolay initia- tion was held at 7:30. ' Vacation begins today!!! ' Bye. Mehwie Twismas! And don ' t forget to write! i ifty-Seven Juniors Bill Bostel Carolyn Repp Ed Wasmuth Miss Zahn Mark Weber This year the juniors selected Miss Zahn for their sponsor. Their officers were: Pres., Bill Bostel; V. Pres., Carolyn Repp; Sec, Ed Wasmuth, and Treas., Mark Weber. Their good salesmanship enabled them to set a candy sellers ' record. They ' ve all admitted though that it couldn ' t have been done without Miss Zahn ' s able help. This class inaugurated a new price of one slim dime for pop, but the majority of the public never spoke against it. (Well, not to their faces, anyway.) They worked hard all year, taking to the frequent football rains like ducks and to the gymnasium ' s bleachers like monkeys, (or somethin ' ). They had few mishaps — by that I mean pouring pop on some poor unfortunate ' s befeathered headdress or stepping on another ' s face. (We did hear that someone had to wash her hair Friday afternoon between tournament games because ' granpa ' couldn ' t leave his tobacco at home.) They had a bang-up time at both their class party and their candy sellers ' party — just acted like kids. Well? The proceeds, of course, will go to giving their superiors ( ?) a good send-off into that wide, wide world. Abrams.

This time it ' s the students who are resting up from vacation. We are still knock- ing ourselves out over the events of those ten days. The highlights were the DeMolay New Year ' s Eve Dance and the Four-way Tourney we won. January 4th — Tonite the ' Vikes continued the good work, de- feating Berne here -17-37. I guess we ' re in there! January 5th — Back in the groove again as of today . . . or should I say rut? The upper-classmen girls practiced volleyball today at 11:30. The Junior Candy Sellers met this afternoon, and tonight Freshmen Scouts and Sr. Hi-Y were held. Bill Marker. U. S. Marine private, was speak- er for Hi-Y. January 6th — Meetings, meetings, and meetings . . . hundreds of them . . . and all at 3:30. The lucky people who got out of class were members of the Biology Club. Book-of- the-Month Club, Art Club, and Sunshine Gales. January 7th — Today was spent anticipating the game the ' Vikes played tonight . . . and what a game! The score was 31-33 in favor of our old rivals. Burris of Muncie. It was really a fight to the finish . . . and nearly finished the spectators along with it. January 10th — This is the last week of the semester and you know only too well what that means. Jr. Masque and Gavel was called off because of exams, but the Art Club must be either optimistic or brainy because they went right on with their sketching party. The first senior play try- outs were held at ■4:00- January 11th — It was announced that Mr. Charles E. DeVol, a prisoner who came back on the Gripsholm, would speak at the Methodist church tonite at 7:30. Sounds interest- ing, but judginq from the crowd at the gym tonite, I would say that the Decatur game had more appeal. We were real pleased with the score, too. And why not? It was 40-17. January 12th — Mairzy doats and dozy doats and little lambs edivy . . . think I ' m crazv, don ' t you? Well, you should see the faculty that teaches me. The H Club-Faculty game probably led some fond parents to wonder to what kind of an institution they are sending their children. Really, though, it was lots of fun for all . . . and you should see Coach Williams in shorts! January 13th — Today while the girls on the volleyball and basketball teams were out in the gym, there was a little sweating going on under the collars of a group of seniors while they awaited the announcement of the 1944 senior play cast. The Art Club and Sr. Hi-Y met today also- January 14th — Most of the H. H. S. fans attended the Hart- ford City game in celebration of a closed semester . . . we lost by one point. A sad and tragic ending, but a good game. January 17th — The new semester began, with both Masque and Gavels meetings in the evening. Everyone is going to study this semester ... (it says here on page 66 of the 1944 Modulus.) January 18th — It seems that money plays an important part in the world today. We were reminded this morning of our unpaid auditorium fees, told of the need of contribu- tions to the March of Dimes, and gently informed that we should pay our National Scout Fees at the Gene Stratton- Porter troop meeting tonite. Whew! Brother, can you spare a dime? If so. bring it along to Jr. Hi-Y . . . and a towel, too, for the swim after the meeting. January 19th — The Book-of-the-Month Club. Jr. Hi-Y. and Candy Sellers met in school today. After 4:00 were meetings of the Rifle Club, Sr. Scouts, Mary White Guild, Sr. Hi-Y. and S. S. S. Co.-nmittee. A fairly busy day. January 20th — The January Student Council meeting was held today. They announced a desire to see hundreds of dimes marching to Room 302 soon. The auditorium com- mittee thanked the student body for their fine coopera- tion in the turning in of auditorium fees for the coming semester. January 21st — Committees for the Sweetheart Dance were announced this week. The decoration committee met at the Temple this evening before going to the Andrews game. We realize by looking at the score that Andrews didn ' t know what it was. We won, 57-22. January 24th— M-O-D-U-L-LI-S. M-O-D-U-L-U-S. Modulus 66, Modulus 66. The newest mystery of our fair Alma Mater is: What is the Mater with Dick Morgan? Has he gone crazy or have we? Jr. and Sr. Masque and Gavels met today. January 25th — It seems that the Modulus Staff aren ' t the only ones who have a new motto. The latest originated in the attendance department. We are now told that we should Never use qetting an excuse as an excuse for be- ino late to class. Is it a motto or a threat? Sr. choir at 8:00. January 26th — See the pretty birdie? No, it isn ' t spring that ' s here, it ' s the photographer for Modulus retakes and freshmen pictures. Snarl and show your buckies! January 27th — The Sunshine meeting th ' s afternoon was really an interesting one, as was, I imagine, the party at Joanna Brown ' s for members of the Biology club. De- Molay officers were elected tonite also. January 28th — Had a good film on Blackmarketing this a. m. We were really glad that good basketball players are not rationed in Huntington when we saw the Elw ood team come within two points of the winning score. The Coach, Vikes, and Scyldings were interviewed at the pep session this afternoon. Oh, yes! The score was 31-29. Sixty-Six Sixty-Seven show Boys The Audio-Visual Depaitment under the leadership of McCabe Day again has had an active year. Approximately 75 motion picture films have been shown to high school audiences and numerous film strips shown in class rooms. During the year four feature shows were presented and several films taken to the grade schools. A new feature of the department this year is the extensive use of radio transcription, correlated with regular class work. These recordings were found to be of excellent quality, and their contents proved a very interesting and valuable addition to the different classes. First Row — Mr. Day. Gypsy Martin, Lyie Ahner, Art Miller, Lamoine Stiilts, Bob Jackson, Keith Conklin. Second Row — Carlos Kennedy. Dick Gtiethjer. Bob McCoy, Maurice Copentiaver, Harold Sutter. Steve Carlson. Third Row — Rex Michael, J. C. Carl, Harold Thompson, Gene Vollmar, Jack Miller. Mr. Day Recording Mr. Day is aided in the department by students who give part of their study periods to help with the work. These students after a period of apprenticeship are permitted to aid in the projection of motion picture films, strip films and slides, the operation of the public address systems at the field and gym, and the operation of our school sound system. The aim of the department this year has been for closer and more extensive co- ordination between the audio-visual aids and class room work. This year found more teachers taking a large number of their classes to view the films. A great number of film subjects were of specific departmental interest and fewer films of general interest were shown. This year, unless the film was of general interest, study halls were not permitted to attend the showings. Sixt.y-Nine Officers Carolyn Repp, Ann Bash, Mary Alice Peppas, Janet Eberhart. Betty Kriegbaum Sun Beams The Sunshine Society, under the leadership of Miss Ahce KHne, really went places this year. The capable guid- ing lights elected by the girls were president, Ann Bash; vice-president, Carolyn Repp; recording secretary, Betty Kriegbaum; corresponding secretary, Jane Eberhart; and treasurer, Mary Alice Peppas. Having initiated their own candidates, the officers went to Warren to install the initiates there. Taking the committees separately, we can easily see why so many worthwhile things were accomplished. The M. M. S., with Mary Esther Dunkin and Marilyn Caldwell as co-chairman, sponsored the biggest event of the year — the annual Sweetheart Dance at the Masonic Temple. Dancing to the heavenly music of Ted Haber- korn and his brilliant band, the work-ravaged committee members felt that maybe it was worth the effort after all. The chaperones it seemed, enjoyed themselves too. From the proceeds of this gala affair, the society purchased a $50 war bonds. Under the direction of Miss Sees, chief worrier, many after-dances were held and Peanut Week, dur- ing which each girl draws some other girl ' s name and gives her goodies, really went over. Oh, those seven wonder- ful days! The S. S. S., headed by Hattie Short, is the morale-buildmg section of the society. The members of this group sent a card to every girl who is absent for two days or more. To the girl who is seriously ill or bereaved, the commit- tee sends a rose. To supervise our religious life we have Mrs. Hillegas and the Mary White Guild. Holding monthly meetings in potluck form, the girls, following the suggestion of their chairman, Enid Barnhisel, decided to send a box of cloth ' ing to a poor family in Kentucky and fruit to some needy families in town. During the Holy Week of Easter, in- spiring daily programs were presented under this guild ' s sponsorship. The beautiful new candelabras, a gift to the society from Mr. Michael ' s welding class, were used for the first time in these services. In response to a card of sympathy at her famous husband ' s death, Mrs. W. A. WhitJ, mother of Mary White, wrote a very nice letter asking about the guild ' s activities.

Under the guidance of Miss Alice Khne, advisor, and Gene Miller and Joan Swinehart, co-chairmen, the Needl- vvork Guild really made the sewing machines fly this year by finishing 20 dresses and 24 shirts. The money for this was obtained from the open skating party and one after-game dance put on by these seamstresses. After their completion, the dresses were distributed to poor school children in the community. The Sunshine Gales, a comparatively new committee, is the hospital-aid section. With Miss Cage as chief shepherd and Patty Burke as her assistant, the flock rolled from 500 to 800 bandages every Thursday after school in the Red Cross rooms. This group also volunteered its services to the hospital to carry trays, run errands for the nurses, etc. Hitler certainly won ' t stand a chance against these women in white! When all the contributions to the Riley Fund were added together, they totalled SI 00 (including SIO from each Hi-Y club). Elizabeth Rowe, their talented artist, painted every face on 225 eggs sold at Easter time. There was no mass production here, and the results were well worth all Libby ' s pains. Everyone loves dramatics so it is only natural that a part of the society be devoted to it. Being very experienced along this line, Mrs. Patterson selected the plays, and Mary Triggs, chairman, directed their stage production. On December 23 the Patterettes gave a musical program at the infirmary, and in keeping with the Christmas spirit, gave out attractive packages of candy and cookies. In connection with the war effort, eight girls sold war stamps and bonds each Saturday at five stores for four weeks. During the Infantile Paralysis Drive, more girls received contributions at the same places of business. Some evenings were rather blustery, especially when the customers opened the doors to enter and wet snow flakes blew down the girls ' necks. They all lived to tell the tale, though, and loved helping! As is the custom, the Sun- shine girls sold poppies on the streets of Huntington for the benefit of the American Legion. Thus the Sunshine Society of Huntington High School made its contribution toward the winning of the war. CLEax di La% y .

Also another announcement about library fines. Seventy-Three Basketball Just a Drop in the Bucket Jack Biehl, Dick Stephan. Schuyler Haines, Ed Wasmuth. Bill Bostel. Bob Hendrickc, Don Dimond. Jim Cozad. Bob Huffman, Joe Burkliart Our Vikes showed great improvement in their 1943-44 regular season, winning 15 and losing 5 games. They defeated the three county teams which they played by sizeable margins and took a third place in the Central Indiana Conference, winning 6 and losing 2 games in conference tilts. They opened the season fairly strong with wins o ver Warren, Wabash, and Warsaw. Through the rest of the season the Norse turned in a good percentage of victories, fighting to win their games over tough schools. The majority of their defeats were upsets suffered at the hands of smaller schools, such as Bluffton and Hartford City. The Vikes team started the new year right by annexing a blind tournament held here. They defeated Wabash and Manchester to take the tourney. They did not, to any great extent, show the specialization which has been the Vogue in Huntington as well as in other schools for several years. The most noticeable fact was their versatile playing, with the scoring threat being partially shifted from game to game. It was 6 ' 3 Bill Bostel, junior forward, who hauled the majority of the scoring for the squad, ably aided by seniors Jack Biehl, forward, and Dick Shotgun Stephan, guard. Assigned to take care of the tough men of the opponents was Schuyler Haines, a senior guard, and this year ' s captain. He was more than just a guard though, leading the scoring for the Vikes in several of the contests. At center this year was capable Ed Wasmuth, a junior who was continually getting in the opponents ' hair. These boys were very capably backed up by Bob ' Hermie Hendricks, and Bob Huffman, forwards; big Rex Myers and Don Dimond, at center, and Joe Burkhart, Gene Musselman, and Jim Cozad, guards.

Led by Max Herzog, senior manager, the rest of the squad: Harold Riggle, varsity assistant, Dick Hammel, Scylding manager, and Russell Buzzard, frosh manager, did a swell job. Sckedule H. H.

The future Vikings had an impressive record of sixteen games won and four lost. Perhaps the highlight of their season was the winning of the second team tournament at Wabash. The teams included in the tournament were Wabash, Monticello, Bluffton and Huntington. Some of the Scyldings were given a chance with the Vikings during the season. Musselman, Olinger, Robinson, Dimond, Cozad and Piepenbrink made up the starting hneup in the majority of the Scyldmg games. Other boys seeing considerable action were Hart, Morris, Priddy, Rohm, Stephan, Wogan and Yoder. Front Row — Dean Stephan, Tye Robinson. Calvin Piepin- brink. Gene Hart, Gene Musselman.

Fresh men The Freshmen of 1943-44 left their mark in the sports records of H. H. S., that mark being a season ' s record of fifteen victories, one of them over Monticello, conceded to be one of the toughest freshman squads in the state, and one loss. Coach Don Butt ' s boys were a powerful bunch, running up scores of 45-1, 23-4, and 35-1 7. In the entire season they scored 623 points to their opponents ' 296. They took a four-way freshman tourney at Wabash, defeating Logansport and Monticello. Leading the squad ' s scoring efforts were forwards Harold Shultz and Ivan Wilhelm, and centers Bob Hullinger and Willard Caley, while handling the defensive assign- ments were guards Max Curly McDowell, and Dick Meckstroth. Sfvonty-lCiKht One Basket, Coming Up! V-V-V-I-K Zero Hour Who ' s the Civihan? Don ' t Get Crabby, Boys Call to Arms! A Star Reaches for a Star Looking Up Seventy-Nine Every senior class hopes that its play will be a big hit and that maybe some big producer or talent scout will be sitting out in front. The class of 1944 put on a play that was very fitting in that it proved to be what Huntington needed — hearty laughs mixed with flag-raising. American Pass- port held the attention of the audience through all three acts. The play made a stand against the pitting of class against class, labor against capital, Jew against gentile, black against white, and accused such ac- tions of being as un-American as the fifth column. Centering around the Hamilton family, the play moved at a sprightly pace. Ed Hamilton, the grey-haired father, got fed up with the anti-capitalis- tic dealings of his family; but his wife Bertha, who so ent her time soliciting names for her League for Establishment of Peace throughout the World , was the hardest to convince that he meant business. The radical twenty-year old son, Dick, realized how mis- taken his ideas were only after a fight with members of the aboring class he was trying to protect. Dick ' s sister, Judy, also got back on the beam when talks from her father and from an employee in a factory convinced her that the capital- istic system wasn ' t so bad after all. The only member of the family who agreed with Father through the entire play was Luella, the baby of the family, whose antics and childish questions kept the audience in an uproar. Sybil Jennings and wealthy Bill Wilson, two sincere Americans, were pitted against the radical tendencies of their sweethearts, Dick and Judy. Aunt Jen, who was a rich aunt, was thoroughly disgusted with the wishy-washy Hamiltons but in the end she gave all her money to them. Others who contributed to the process of Americaniz- ing the family were bluelering Mrs. Schwartz and Mr. Craig, Father ' s boss. The play was directed by the Senior class sponsor, Mr. Gordon, and student directors, Joanna Brown and Mark Kilty. Rex Mich- ael, technician, had charge of lights, cur- tains, and sound effects. Other class mem- bers who made it possible to put on this play were: prompter, Annabelle Russell; stage craft, Elizabeth Rowe, Bill Freed, Glen Harsh, Charles Sturdivant, Bill Beemer, Delores Hubley, and Marilyn Zeigler; business manager, Erma Richard- son; advertising manager. Jack Leeti; head usher, Maxine Neher; properties, Marilyn Kauff, Keith Rich, Bill Freed, and Sarah Spentzos; wardrobe, Marvelene Hite, and Doris Wearley; carpentry, Keith Stout; music, Betty Kriegbaum and M. McCabe Day. So many tickets were sold by the queen nomi- nees that the play had to be given not only Thurs- day and Friday nights but also Monday night. These nomi- ness were LaVond Pinkerton, Nancy Hughes, Virginia Schwartz, Erma Richardson, Thelma McKenzie, Betty Canvin, and Sarah Spentzos. Attending the queens were Jodine and Martadee Williams. Thursday night it was announced that the Queen of 1944 was Nancy Hughes, who was presented with a gold cup standing about two feet high on an ivory base. The members of the play cast were as follows: William Eberly, Ruth Stamper, Ann Bash, Mary Esther Dunkin, Arden Feting, Nonnie Ross, Gene Fosselman, Jean Burris, Alice Plasterer, John Harvey, Keith Rich, and Bill Freed. ds.a% di Lax i March 1st — It came in as sort of a lion in sheep ' s clothing. How about that? It probably means a continuous battle between the sun and rain, with a Httle wind on the side. This month has really started out with a bang. Mr. Hols- worth, a noted tenor, sang for us at 1:00. Sr. Hi-Y was held tonite. March 2nd — Mr. Plasterer spoke to the seniors at 8:15.

They had a potluck and initiation (Note to alumni: we know potlucks were commonplace in your day, but have you ever tried to raid the ration book?) March 7th — Wanta be a railroad man when you grow up? . . . See Mr. Perrigo sometime soon. Wanta to be a col- lege man when you grow up? . . . See Mr. York in the auditorium. Wanta be a MAN when you grow up? . . . Attend Jr. Hi-Y at 7:30. March 8th — Sr. Masque and Gavel met at 2:30. That ' s all for today. March 9th — March marches on, and quite uneventfully.

It ' ll come off sometime in the near fu- ture. There was a Sunshine meeting at 2:30; Peanut Week Starts Monday. March 13th — I have green eyes, purple hair, and orange teeth. (Peanut W eek is now under way.) March 14 — Peanut Week treasure hunt . . . oh, so that ' s why George and Abe were equipped with thimbles, etc., today. The preview of American Passport ' was presented today. Ten pairs of knees were knocking, knocking. March 15 — Mr. Liddle, State Y. M. C. A. director, was here at school yesterday and at the Y last night. His message to us consisted of four expressive words: Don ' t be a monkey! Peanut Week sack lunch today. March 16th — The faculty women were guests at the Peanut Week Tea today. Lots of good food and none to spare after we got through. The Junior Candy Sellers really have the system. Anyone more than fifteen minutes late to their party tonite was automatically a member of the clean-up committee. March 17th — Peanut, may I have this prance? Yes, today ' s the last day. Glen Miller, T. Dorsey, and Kay Kyser provided the music for our grand finale in the gym at 4:00. March 20th — Blue Monday is here again. There was a call- ed meeting of Sr. Masque and Gavel at 11:25. The Art Club met at 7:30. March 21st — The day after Monday. Can ' t remember what we did . . . But never you mind, we did it! March 22nd — Over 600 grade school students sat through the senior play this afternoon. They came out alive. (Plug from cast). Sr. Hi-Y met this evening, and this afternoon there was an open meeting of the S. S. S. committee. March 23rd — The class of ' 44 is right in there. The queen nominees sold 2700 tickets, more than twice the capacity of the auditorium. Nancy Hughes turned in money for about 700. Want a trophy, Nance? March 24th — George Washington ' s picture ad Ubbed a lit- tle in the presentation of American Passport tonite . . . Everyone back of the footlights turned a shade paler, but the show must go on, and it did. Another full house, and even a fuller one at Marilyn Kauff ' s afterwards, when we let down our hair and had a party March 27th — Biology dues due today. If you are a Biology club member, we ' ll take your money; if you ' re a queen nominee, we ' ll take your picture; or if you ' d like to see the last presentation of American Passport , we ' ll take your ticket. Anything to accommodate. March 28th — Height? ... 5 ' 2 ' L ' . . . Weight? . . . Now wait a minute, Mr. Marx; let ' s not get personal! (Seniors were measured for caps and gowns this week.)

Our Note-d Band Under the baton of its capable director, Delmar Weesner, the Huntington High School band participated in nearly as many activities as usual, the only thing to be cur- tailed being out-of-town trips. Its organization was different in that there were no officers. The band played for such out-side activities as bringing Santa Claus into town, playing for the grade school tournaments, and playing for the U. S. 0. benefit basket- ball game. However, in the minds of the students, the band will be remembered for its Eighty-Six maneuvering at football games and its music at all of the home basketball games. No hardwood battle down at Community Gym would be complete without the rousing num- bers presented between games and at the halves, and without the impressive flag-raising ceremony and the singing of The Star-Spangled Banner , reminding us of our nation s part in this war. Not only did the band aid the cheering section in Steppin Out and their unusual fanfares (very unusual, indeed!), but also it had a cheering section of its own. Near the end of the basketball season enough gas tickets had been saved up for a trip to the Marion goal-yard, and as a special feature JoAnn Clark and Bob Carr sang a duet for enthusiastic fans. Favorite selections this year were El Relicaria , Oklahoma , Smoke Gets m Your Eves , Lost Chord , and the Victory Overture , which is based on Beethoven s Fifth Symphony and is sometimes known as the song with the three dots and the dash as Its theme. Partly due to the influence of the Jam sessions held after school in the northeast room of the basement, many popular pieces were played. Some of those were Pistol Packin ' Mama , Paper Doll , and Shoo Shoo Baby. The band participated in a contest at Fort Wayne on April 21. The full concert band, soloists, and ensembles tried for, and, as always, won many honors. Our hats are off to the band! We ' re mighty proud of it and the accomplishments of its members; no matter what they play, classic or swing, it sounds wonderful. Eighty-Seven uEaz di Lax y April 3rd — This is Monday . . . our first day in April . . . yet it ' s April 3rd . . . Our first day of the week . . . yet it s only 3 days till the last day . . . Hey! I think we ' ll like this week! April 4th — This is Holy ' Week, you know. Rev. Livengood was the speaker for our second Easter Service this a. m. Jr. Hi-Y met as usual. April 5th — The choir led us in Easter worship this a. m. and second period was omitted for the historical movie that followed the service. The Sr. Hi-Y meeting was held. April 6th — Last day of a full though abbreviated week. Rev. A. P. Teeter led the devotional period. The Biology Club met at 3:30, and the Hi-Y banquet committee at 11:15. But the highlight of the day was the speaker from Guatemala, ery young and dashing, who made the H. H. S. gals swoon as though Sinatra had hit town when he sang Besame Mucho . Really solid . . . and quite educational, too. April 10th — What a vacation. Everyone is still griping about the slightly damp Easter Sunday. Bet the curl even came out of Fhil Monsey ' s hair. The Mary ' White Guild potluck was at Ruth ' Weber ' s this month. April 11th — The Seniors have a meeting scheduled for to- morrow with Dr. Becker as the speaker. Tonite there was a scout meeting at Mar orie Marx ' s. April 12th — The Hi-Y fellows took their best girls to the Mother and Son banquet tonite at the Y. And speaking of eating (mmm-m!) something seems to be cooking for senior play planners, producers, and actors. There was a meeting of the cast at 4:00 Monday. April 13th — The sun shone today, which meant that the students were all out to make this book a success . . . and I DO mean all out. First this group and then that assem- bled on the front steps while Rex and Carlos said, I, 2, (click) 3 , and all of the girls complained about the breezy atmosphere. April 14th — Friday is here again . . Have YOU voted yet? ... G. A. A. and Honor Society elections. Lots of crossed fingers which remained crossed all during the Hartford City track meet. They won. The freshman party must have been super. The decorations looked real cute. April 17th — ' We prayed all weekend but in vain . . . the rains came . . Now the weather ' s coming to its own . . . The sun shone . . (Spring fever, they called it in my day). The senior play cast, ushers, ticket takers, etc. ate at school this evening — on the senior class. April 18th — Temporary enrollment was taken today. The seniors felt kind of lost not signing up . . just like the tad- pole who started to wag his tail one morning and found that he had none. Growing up is SO strange. April 19th — One month more . . to seniors it seems incred- ible, but from others we hear merely a sigh of relief. April 20th — Thursday is here. K. B. F. and Honor Society have been announced by now ... no more excitement for awhile. April 21st — Friday . . . Band contest in Ft. Wayne. Another week is gone. Just 5 more to come . . . unless you have 4 year ' s hard labor behind you. April 24th — MONDAY . . that word expresses just what it was . . Another dull day after the weekend. April 25th — Religious program. The second one with stu- dent participation. April 26th— Sr. Hi-Y met at 7:30 at the Y. April 27th — The senior play cast went to Ft. Wayne to see some real acting. They saw Junior Miss on the stage. April 28th — Senior party at 7:30 in the gym.

Seniors Four whole years and ne ' er a faltering step! es, the Senior Class of 194 4 is ready to leave H. H. S. and go out into the cold, cruel world. The class officers of the Class of ' 44 were as follows: president, Don Smiley (Already claimed by the V-12 Unit of the Navy); vice-president, Ann Bash; secretary, Mary Esther Dunkin; and treasurer, Pat Orr. He who advised the class so well was Mr. Gordon. The Senior Class Play was given with great success March 23, 24, and 27. This is the first time in many a moon that the class sold enough tickets to give a third per- formance. The 1944 Senior Queen was Nancy Hughes. American Passport combined rip-roarin ' comedy with food for thought. The Reception for the Seniors was held on May 18th at the Masonic Temple. Fri- day, May 19th, was the big night for which the seniors had been waiting the past four years. The Class Motto: They build too low who build beneath the stars . The Colors: Azure Blue and Fucia. The Flower: Carnations. PANEL II Herbert Beverly — Jr. Candy Seller: Jr. Ring and Pin Comm. Chairman.

F. stands for Kiwanis Builds Forever and is awarded by the Kiwanis Club to the upper 5 per cent of the senior class. Eligibility for this award depends upon the grades made during the four years of high school. Membership in K. B. F. is the high- est scholastic honor one can attain in Huntmgton High. The Kiwanis Club honors these students with a luncheon given near the end of the school year. The members of this year ' s graduating class who received this award are as follows: Ann Bash, Mary Esther Dunkin, William Eberly, Marguerite Lamb, Nonnie Ross, Donald Smiley, and Ruth Stamper. At the same time that the K. B. F. members are determined, the valedictorian and salutatorian are announced. Representing the highest grade average in the class of 1944, the valedictorian was Mary Esther Dunkin, and the salutatorian was Donald Smiley. One Hundred Almost the Best Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors bestowed upon a high school junior or senior. The members of the organization are chosen by their classmates and teachers. The fac- tors considered in choosing these members are scholastic records during their years high character leadership, and participation in extra-curricular activities. Those eligible for consideration for membership must be in the upper 25 ' , of their class. The num- ber of seniors chosen is 15 ' ,, and the number of juniors is 5 ' ,. A feature of Senior Week for the two Honor Societies is an early morning picnic; and, from what I have heard, the members attending this affair forget for the time-being their high I. Q. ' s and really have a picnic. Bills for the outing are footed by the senior members. The members of the graduating class who have been chosen for the high honors are: Ann Bash, Jack Biehl, Joanna Brown, Jean Burris, Mary Esther Dunkin, William Eberly. Fred Geyer, Nancy Hughes, Mark Kilty, Marguerite Lamb, Rex Michael, Robert Mitchell, Rex Myers, Emmy O ' Harrow, Arden Peting, Alice Plasterer, Nonnie Ross, Elizabeth Rowe, Donald Smiley, Ruth Stamper, Keith Stout, and Doris Wearly. The members of the Junior Honor Society for 1944 are: Patricia Burke, Maurice Copenhaver, Joan Humbarger, Betty Kriegbaum, Carolyn Repp, Mary Rosalyn Triggs, and Edwin Winter. All of these students are to be congratulated on this achievement. To have very high ranking grades for the past three and four years is something to be proud of, and it shows in the character and personal- ity of the individual. he benior We, the senior class of Huntington High School, despite the paper shortage, mar, shortage, rationing, and anything else that goes to make a brain shortage, do hereby attempt to make our last will and testament after which we promise to hibernate and let the underclassmen have a chance to rice and shine. Furthermore, we give you our word of honor that we shall make use of our American Passport to make a quick exit. Whether you be willing or unwilling, we are willing you the following stuff and nonsense : Don V-12 Smiley leaves his knowledge and welcoming smile to Joyce Ann Abrams. Ann Bash, alias Luella, leaves her bread crusts to some hungry junior. Dick Diffenbaugh leaves his famous helmet to Richard Morgan. Murnie Zeigler and Queenie Hubley will their dissected rabbit to Jack Young to put back together again. Paul Thompson unwillingly left his gas coupons and his Fort Wayne addresses to Bob Hendry, who evidently has some of his own. Maxine and Bud leave the attendance office with a sigh of relief. Gene Fosselman wills his Beau Brummell appearance to James Ne wman. Betty Canvin reluctantly leaves George Washington standing on second floor for Joan Clark to ask to the Sweetheart Dance next year. Jack Biehl bestows his pitching ability upon some forward junior. Jim Cozad, maybe. Sarah Spentzos wills her troubles, which are the result of her trusting acceptance of what people tell her, to Maurice Copenhaver. Bill Biehl, Bob Ackerman, and Ace Mitchell left early. Wise, weren ' t they Mary Long Timer Clabaugh leaves the detention room to Nancy Winebrenner. Secretary Bill Eberl; gives the Biology Club back to the president. Mary Esther Dunkin is willing her curly eye-lashes to Hurleen Feltman, so she can sweep men off their feet. Bill Beemer and Bill Freed bequeath their modern dance steps to Barbara Huse Nancy Hughes, the play peddler, wills her one foot in the door technique, or whatever she used, to some ambitious junior who has a yen for a cup. Jim Bowers, Kenny Renz, Gene Garber and Arden Peting left to find a brighter night life. Alice Plasterer and Rex Michael leave their charming chiming to Betty Ann Day One Hundred Two Class Will who has charming chimes with every one. Bill C. rr leaves his blue tarciy slips on Miss Weiford ' s desk. Nonnie Ross leaves all her business, except her army business, to Ann Porter. John Harvey leaves Carolyn Paul. Again? Nanda Lou Hough, Thelma McKinzie, Lib Rowe, and Marjorie Pearson leave everything but their sparklers to Kathleen Kelsey. Marj Sc.henkel and Perry Hull left, but in different directions. Shotgun Stephan and George Scannell leave their profane language to Dean Stephan. Now, what will he do with it? Sammy Crosby Hummer leaves his version of Mairzy Doats to Sinatra Miller. Annie Russell leaves her pri ilege of walking in and out of Kroger ' s whenever she pleases to Helen Sheppard, who wants the privilege but wants her job too. Gypsy Martin leaves, after five years of studious studying and hopes that Floyd Wilson can make it in that length of time. Marveline Hite, co-partner of Frank Knox, wills the navy to Caroline Repp, who already has its under control. Glen Harsh wills his ocal cords to an able competitor. Mike Peppas. Laura Bradshaw leaves her V-mail correspondence to Justine Smith. Dewey Hoffman, Dick oung, and Buck Weinman left their girls for Uncle Sam. Fickle! Roselyn Robrock wills her reserve and soft tones to Joan Hueber. Max Herzog bequeaths his skill in the art of cooking to Bob Hoover. Bob had bet- ter make his will now, too. Skeet Haines leaves his slow, steady pace to Eugene Schenkel. Bonnie Farrell leaves her perse and poisonahty to some sophomore who thinks Phil Monsey ' s cute. Rex Myers wills his charming smile to Clara Jane Kennedy. AND we, the undersigned, cannot resist willing the headaches, black eyes, and all other ill effects that are the result of our efforts on this will, to some htppy little morons who think they can write a class will. Pat Orr, Peaches Peppas, and Jean Burris. One Hundred Three class Prophecy We, the undersigned, have undergone this undertaking, you understand, merely because we would have been plowed six feet under if we hadn ' t. We hid underbrush, under- ground, and underfoot, and wrote under a light none too good, which probably accounts for this under-sirable prophecy. We are going on a Journey to the Stars and, believe it or not, no gas coupons are required. The fol- lowing is not the sentiment of the Modulus staff, but mere- ly the sediment cooked up by two rattle-brained juniors whose names you will find as near the bottom the page as we can get them. We have in front of us a machine never before seen by the human eye. (What does that make us? We know, in- human). There are nine planets, you know, not counting the Earth. On this machine there are nine buttons, by pure coincidence). As we press each button, a glimpse of each planet looms into view. On each of these planets, and very evenly distributed, by the way, we find the members of the Class of ' 44, Ready? Let us press the button labeled Mars first, and see what happens. Of course, you know that ' s where Mars-y Doats originated. Do you see what we see? Who would have thought that Mars could possibly be this advanced. Well, well, there ' s Sam fixing his telescope. That thing must be on the Hummer again. Next door, we see Bill repairing his Carr with the detachable gear shift. Which reminds us of the Einsteins of the Class of ' 44 ... . William Eberly is now working on a new surface tension law. Ray Humbert, after lending an ear to Eiffel ' s sugges- tion, has discovered how to convert Gray-stone into dynamite, Skeet Haines just last week discovered some new facts concerning reflexes after slapping his knee, Alice Marie has invented a new household Plasterer-ing machine. This will save housewives a Lauterbach aches. What about that, Dick? Ah yes. Dale, after extensive research, has invented a double- Decker bass-clarinet. How will he ever hold the bloomin ' thing? Oh, well, that ' s his problem, not curs, ADMIRAL DEWEY Hoffman and Gen, Richard Wein- man have returned from the fighting fronts with hundreds of pictures of pin-up girls. Incidentally, Adm, Hoffman only owns one of them. Guess which! Mark, sponsored by the leading fashion magazine, Harp ' s Bazaar , has also arrived from Scotland with a new version of his increasingly popular Kilty ' s Kilts , ' Twas a brood moon-licht nicht when he embarked with the Wee Bonnie Farrell. As he steamed out of sight, Mark was heard to whisper, Beegorie, and ' twas a mighty sad sight to view — Jim, standin ' there, ' mid Bowers of Rose-s , playin ' Should Auld Attendance Be Forgotten? on his bagpipes, (Ask Mr, Perrigo), Since there can be too much of a good (?) thing, we shall press another button. Let ' s see, Neptune seems to be the closest. What sight do we behold here? Tsk! Tsk! There ' s Ann Bash-ing her brains out be- cause she has lost that bottle of Henna Renz . Quick, Bill, Pass-the-Water , she ' s going to faint! No, Faint heart ne ' er won fair lady, eh Cassie? Since he ' s making a modest living in the plastic department of Hosdreg, he ' s beginning to get ideas, but poor Ann is so Bash -ful that he isn ' t making much progress. Taking lessons from Cliff Schacht should, however, bring results in a hurry, Mr, Anthony, my pro- blem Now let us take a look at the planet of Minerva ( Nervy of us, isn ' t it?) We certainly can ' t go much further without a look at the President of the Class of ' 44, President Smiley of the World Confederation is having his hands full but, having a knowledge of several foreign languages, will be equal to any situation. At present his wife is making a tour of the better known planets, according to the tradition established by a certain President ' s wife in 1944, His pride-and-joy, typist Mary Clabaugh, has attained the unheard-of speed of 130 words-a-minute on Now is the time for all good men . , . , and assistant secretary Evelyn Zeigler takes dictation at such a rate that we shall refrain from telling you because you ' d say that we were in the habit of prevaricating. Whew! Of course, you re all waiting to see what Venus has in store for you. In this new streamlined world, beauty is the key-note. To prove this we have the candidates for Miss Star Eyes of 1964 — Thelma McKinzie, Sarah Spentzos, Virginia Swartz, Erma Richardson, Zelma Schoeff, and La Vond Pin- kerton. Ace camerman Rex Michael was on hand to get different views on the subject. What a snap job! Wouldn ' t doubt that something develops. Yum! Yum! The candy factories are being reopened, and John Michael is head of a chain of Clark-bar stores. His chief wrapper, Bill Rohm is happy and Joyous to be in his employ. Marjorie is the floor- Walker , and Helen is in the Hite of her glory sampling each tiny morsel before its release to the sweets-starved public. Since its recent en- largement, this factory is said to be the largest in the ' Milky Way, Our delicate detector tells us that there is quite a com- motion on one of the other planets. It seems that it is Mercury. Law n order is o. k., but we think that traffic cop Glen is much too Harsh, He told Catherine that the next time she didnt signal for a left turn with her red-and-green helicopter he d Skinner- ' er alive and promptly hauled her off to the Skyline Police Station (Orbit 1). Ahem! Judge Mitchell, they are told, is busy. He is trying the case of a juvenile delinquent. It seems that Arden pulled his glider over to the nearest cloud and started Peting, Ah, romance! Hark! The judge is passing sentence, - 30 days and a half- hour with Mr. Liddle. This prisoner is led away. Better luck NEXT TIME, Arden, We are now on our way to another planet, a planet of music and drama, Jupiter. At the recent opening of the Theater of the Air ' , Mary Esther and Gene-you-know-who created a sensation as co- stars. If anyone can play a breath-taking leading lady, Dun-kin. After working under Cecil B. Gordon ' s direc- One Hundred Four tion some 20 odd years ago. why shouldn t they be the critics ' pets? The youngest members of the cast were Jeanne and Dick, naturally. The program is sponsored by Harrow Teeth Plows , Robert Humbert, general manager. Heavenly (at least unearthly) music was furnished by Hot- lips Sorenson and his band. His vocalist. Nancy Hughes, sang the hit song of 1943, Im Saving Myself for Biehl. Hows Andrew. Jackson? Willadene Pasko. Pat Orr, Dick Haneline. and Dick Lewis ushed the people to their seats. Bill Wineke, too. has opened a new show. Libby is raising a Rowe cause she didnt get to paint the back- ground. We could have Warn-der I suppose. Nonnie Ross was the dramatic attraction, and Francis, the current man-about-Town-sley w ' as among the first there, although Doris was there a little W-early too. Marilyn was rather embarrassed when she was forced to leave the auditorium because of a bad KaufT. Now let us float our way to another planet, a planet where industry is the central attraction. Our next stop is Uranus. Oh. my! Betty has taken to Canvin peaches. We haven ' t an inkling about what Pert will say; however, she is kept pretty busy with her pepper factory, Peppas Pep- pers . After due consideration, she has decided to adopt a new oath for her employees. On my Ahner Good idea. Of all the jobs Murn says hers is the smelliest, that of inh aling the peppers. She is seriously thinking of quit- ting, though, since Miss Peppas has odor her salary for the past three months. Speaking of business magnets, Jeanne and Betty Lou are attracting huge fortunes for themselves in the Dye and Glass industries, respectively. Everything s plastic, plastic, plastic, but they seem to do all right. Jeanne can fix her hair, and Betty can look at herself. Jim Hull has started up a fine business of making ships ' Hulls. The company is known as Hulls Hulls. Inc. After weeks of planning, his chief blueprint man. Max Her- zog, has gone to the navy yard to launch his latest master- piece, the ' Queen Hubley. ' Let us take a short trip to Saturn, although I fear that we are a bit too late. Maxine has left to be Neher Bud Vanner, who has gone to Venus with his business partner. Gerry ' Heindsel- man. to work on new techniques. Hmmmmm! Even though this place is supposedly serious, funnies are the favorite amusement of the majority of the Saturnites. Bill Bowman, Bill Beemer. Bob Jackson, Kieth Rich. Kieth Stout, and Dale Wetlers are racking their brains (?) trying to think who Dick Tracy can chase now that Mrs. Pruneface and Flattop have been bumped off. Don Beverly and DeVon Beitelshees are constantly complaining because of the mess that the Stardust makes in the newspaper office. We see that there is just time enough to get a short glimpse of Pluto (the planet, not the droopy-eared dog). Yes. there are those precious few who are content merely leading a quiet, wholesome life. There s Marguer- ite, who ' s always as gentle as a Lamb , and Bud, who is always a good Gey- ' er is he? The only black sheep on the whole planet is a certain Mr. Stephan, who keeps point- ing his double-barrelled Shotgun at innocent passers-by and scaring them, silly? Well, that ' s that! All the planets are well (?) taken care of . . . except . . . how could we forget . . . the earth! Hey. there ' s Joanna. ' What s that song she is warbling so prettily? Oh, sure. ' Im Just Wild About Harry. ' Rosalie and Janice Rose have moved permanently this time to the section of Indiana they consider the best . . . Brown county. That ' s newsboy Harold Sutter shouting Extra at the top of his lungs. Wonder whats up. Well, congratula- tions are in order. Jack Lippincott has just won a trophy as a result of a state-wide contest attempting to pick the best Huser. In this day of shortage we can ' t offer you orchids or T- bone steaks as appeasement after reading this. If fact, we can t even get out of town because of tires and gas. So we cross our fingers and pray you 11 forgive and forget. That guy McClurg is yelling something about a deadline. Gee, those things are really numerous around here. Anyhow, we are most ir-ration-ally yours. The under-pups. TRIGGS and KRIEGBAUM. One Hundred Five Janitors Let ' s Keep It Clean ... For they are jolly good fellows, That nobody can deny. Yes, this is a toast to the men who play one of the largest parts in distinguishing our school from others we have seen. A man works from sun to sun, but a man-sized job is never done should be the slogan of our janitors. Believe me, they are doing a man-sized job. They are the men who pick up the paper you carelessly drop on the floor, they are the little elves that wipe away the rust and dirt that would give our halls and classrooms that untidy look, they are the reason you sometimes wonder if there is glass in that window you can see through so clearly. Not only that, but they are those great guys who are pals of everyone in school, and always have a friendly word for you between classes. It seems sort of silly to even think of introducing our head custodian, Mr. Telfer, or his right-hand man, Dennie; but maybe some of you haven ' t yet met our newest handy-man, Mr. Guy Scott. His nick- name IS Scottie ' , and true to the standard already set up in that department, he is really a great guy, too. And while in the way of introductions, we might mention that we are Ahner-ed to have Lyle, Bill Beemer, and Glen Harsh as Junior Janitors to clean out the flues for Santa to come down. Seriously, these fellows couldn ' t seem to bear the thought of leaving school for two weeks: so they spent their vacation up here whipping the place back into shape for a new year. Thanks, fellows! . r. i ■ ■1 , S,, f« J m mb y p P Ai. ciEax di Lai y May 1st — May Day. Quite gay. is the goon, who ' ll be out soon. May 2nd — Just 17 more days until vacation. Not. of course. that we are anxious. May 3rd — Senior Hi-Y meeting tonite at the Y. They elect- ed officers last meeting, so they ' re all set for next year. May 4th — Noth-ng particular went on today, except Time. which is continually marching on. May 5th — A C. I. C. conference banquet was he ' d today as a climax to the last full week of school. May 8th — Another week — and it promises to be a full one. How unusual! May 9th — Religious program with student participation this morning. At 11:00 seniors met and practiced marching up and down the aisles. Not a wedding — just Baccalaurca;. ' . Mary ' White Guild Tea after school. May 10th — The dark circles under our eyes today aren ' t spots before yours — they ' re real! Exams are starting and notebooks will soon be due — oh my! May 11th — Kiwanis Builds Forever. The meaning of this phrase was demonstrated as they built healthy bodies by feeding the members of K. B. F. this noon. A meal lil.e that builds morale, too. May 12th — Achievement Day. Today is the day the seniors appeared in caps and gowns — Oh. you know, sort of a dress rehearsal before the real McCoy Friday nite. Rib- bons, cups, and lots of applause. May 14th — Rev. Harris delivered the Baccalaureate sermon. A full house and lots of hankies. ' We ' re gettin ' sentimental over you. Kinda hate to think of leaving. May 15th — The senior girls and their mothers arose early this a. m. to attend the annual Sunshine Breakfast. Th; caps and gowns are beginning to look almost natural nov , and we can nearly recognize the kids. May 16th — ' Twas the last week of school, and all through the halls, not a senior was stirring and it seemed kind of dull. May 17th — School ' s out. school ' s out. . . . and you know the rest. The halls of H. H. S. are abandoned for another year. The seniors of the fairer sex once again ate out. This time it was the Altrusa Tea. May 18th — Last night about 29 alarm clocks were set for 5:30. in order that the 29 members of Honor Society cou ' d open their sleepy eyes wide enough to follow the crowd to the Honor Society picnic-breakfast. After a rugged time, they returned home to recuperate in time for Recep- tion at 6:30. It was a strictly solid evening. Thanks, Juniors. May 19th — The Big Day ... the day that ends what will prove to be only the beginning. Our graduation from H. H. S. and our commencement of life out in the world.
