m a Mo dulu 1949 Looking toward Culture, Hunting- ton High School has contributed greatly to the lives of its students. Each boy and girl receives invalu- able training in the fields of drama, art, literature, music, and religion. WUNTINGTON UIGUSCUOC s L HUNTINGTON, INDIANA LOOKING TOV ADD We, the students of Huntington High School have contributed another yearbook to be placed among the ones of years before. Per- haps it will not stand out in the mind of every student who walked through these halls during the year of 1 948-49, but we sincerely hope that it will be a complete and concise picture on which to look with joy in the coming years. We, the Modulus Staff of 1949 dedicate this book to you. - โ The Editor. u UXQ Through hands a per- son ' s knowledge, cour- age, and cuhure can be seen. Cuhure is shown through reading, prayer. LOOI ING TOW music, art, speaking, and social behavior. The students of H. H. S. have the opportunity to obtain all of these. PD CULTUPC tue: guid I ng Our guiding hand is a strong, capable hand. It IS not merely the hand of one person but a large group of hands all working to better the lives of each and every student vv ith which they work. an Mr. Burton Stephan Every once in a while you ' re apt to notice a very quiet man strolling through the halls. He is none other than our very competent superintend- ent of schools, Mr. Burton Stephan. Even though he has a busy schedule, he finds time to talk with the stu- dents. That makes him the popular person that he is. Miss Fredith Langley No one ever hears much of or from this quiet person, but she has a great deal of responsibility in keep- ing our school running in a smooth manner. You see she is the personal secretary of Mr. Stephan, and must take care of all his business. School Board It is the duty of the school board to make the school budget and to supervise the employment of the teachers. We have the school board to thank for the smooth running of our public schools. The members of the School Board were: Mr. Frank C. Helvie, President; Mrs. Ruth M. Dunkin, Treasurer; Mr. Oscar K. Zeigler, Secretary; and Mr. Burton Stephan, Superintendent. 10 Mr. Harold S. Johnson As principal of dear H. H. S., Harold Johnson has the trying task of co- ordinating activities. Besides guid- ing our paths, he teaches classes in Social Studies. Even though he has a full time schedule as principal-teacher, he is never too busy to stop and chat with the students. Miss Belt}) Qrossman Everyone knows Miss Grossman, better known as Betty. Each time we go into the office she is there to greet us with her cheery smile. She is Mr. Johnson ' s personal secretary, and all around help to everyone in school. Quidance Department The members of the Guidance De- partment help each pupil make out his program. Without their help students would not know which classes to take for college entrance and jobs.

Football The Huntington High School Varsity made this a successful season, winning six of nine games. They finished second in the Central Indiana Conference and placed Bob Carey and Ernie Passwater on the all-con- ference first team. Hiers and Wiles won second team honors. Bob Carey was named to the all-state third team. Dick Wiles, Tom Wirt, and Ernie Passwater gained honorable mention. Midway through their football journey, the Vikes hit a reef and lost three games in a row before break- ing loose to win the remaining games. The Norse machine was a smooth-working offen- sive outfit. They piled up 2525 yards on the ground and 350 via the air lines. The opposition ' s ground at- tack failed to produce half of the Vikes total on the ground as they talhed only 1034. However, the opposition picked up 588 yards by aerials. The Sea Rovers completed the year with 118 first downs against 63 for the foes of the red and black. The Vikes threw 51 passes and connected on 18 for a percentage of .353. The opposition threw 100 passes, hit 36, and finished with a percentage of .360. Finally, in the penalty department, the Vikes showed their eagerness and take nothing from anyone attitude to the tune of 335 yards. The opposition, on the other hand, lost only 230 yards because of miscues. Final Record: AG Won 6 CON Won 4 Lost 3 Lost 1 18 Bob Carey Previous varsity experience enabled Bob to turn in ex- ceptionally good line play dur- ing his senior year. By being elected co-captain by team mates. All-C. I. C. first team by conference coaches, and All State third team by Heze Clark of Indianapolis, Bob proved his superior football ability. John Glenn John was the reserve center of the Sea Rovers this year. A leg injury in pre-season practices benched him until late in the year. John looked especially good on defense. Mike Watts The end department of the Viking football machine was greatly strengthened by the addition of this great defens- ive man from Adrian, Michi- gan. Mike ' s specialty was tackling the foe behind the line of scrimmage. Gene Vardaman Pete closed three years of varsity ball playing with drive, determination, and desire. Noted for his aggressiveness, Pete proved that lack of size was no handicap to him. All in all, Mr. Vardaman han- dled his half back slot very well. Dean Stonebraker Senior quarterback, who stepped into the starting line- up in the Hartford City game, and capably carried the Vikes through four games in the ab- sence of Hendricks. Dean was noted for his gambles, and successes, on fourth down passes. Charles Williams Charley saw action on the gridiron from the guard posi- tion. Although he was not in the starting lineup of any game, he saw much reserve action. He gave his best per- formances on offense. Phil Gardner Playing at right tackle, Phil opened many holes in the foe ' s line to allow Vike backs to penetrate pay dirt. Phil was valuable on defense and stopped many enemy thrusts through his position. Dick Hendricks Dick was regular quarter- back to start the season, but an elbow injury in the Marion game put Slim on the bench for several games. He was noted for his accuracy on long passes and as an alert safety man on defense. Dick Wilson Fleet-footed Norse left half back was Dick Wilson. Dick carried the mail on numerous occasions for valuable yardage and in Ave instances he went all the way. Dick ' s most valu- able services were in the of- fensive department. Harry Smith Like the majority of ends, Harry is tall and enjoyed tak- ing short hook passes just over the line. Big Stoop was entirely an offensive end. His senior year closed three years of varsity ball. Jack Wamsley Famous for out-running op- posing secondary to catch long aerials was Worm Wamsley. Jack ' s main department was kicking. Many a good kickoff and extra point was credited to him. Jim Streit Jim played guard his first and last year of football. He was valuable to toughen up the regulars in practice. Jim played in several games and looked good on defense. Jerry Hiers The defensive mate of Watts, Ratch, is a tall lad and was noted for snaring high passes. He was selected to an end position on the C. I. C. second team. Don Morris During his senior year, his second year of varsity ball, Don played at any position to aid the Norse cause. He play- ed both on offense and defense. His home position was tackle. 20 Marion Giants โ Sept. 10 A near capacity crowd was on hand tonight to see the Vikes heat up the gridiron in beat- ing the Marion Giants 34-6. Marion ' s initial drive was stopped when Al Shultz intercept- ed a pass midway in the second quarter. He scored four plays later. Marion got their only score when Rocky Jones cut loose with a 71-yard run two plays after receiving Huntington ' s kickoff. Al Shultz scored early in the second quarter. When the half ended the score was 14-6. A fourth quarter drive by the Vikes gave them another touchdown when Passwater scored. Passwater picked up another touchdown the same quarter and Dick Wilson accounted for the other score. Hendricks made four extra points. The Vik- ing line turned in an excellent performance showing almost perfect blocking. They penetrated the opponent ' s line almost at will. Hartford Cityโ Sept. 17 Dean Stonebraker, taking the place of Dick Hendricks who was on the injured list, led the Vikes to a 39 to 6 victory over Hartford City. Huntington ' s first score came five plays after the kickoff, climaxing a drive by Passwater and Shultz. Wamsley ' s kick was good. We scored again late in the first quarter when Stonebraker carried the ball. First quarter score 13 to 0. Vardaman scored early in the second and again Wamsley ' s kick was good. The Airedales took to the air, but failed to gain and had to punt. Stonebraker passed to Passwater for another score. Coach Williams began substituting late in the second quarter. Midway in the third quarter Wilson scored on a pass from Stonebraker. Wamsley ' s kick was good. Hartford City made their only tally when they climaxed a long passing drive. Pass- water scored early in the last quarter. At this point H. C. opened an aerial attack against our third team, but time ran out and the final score was 39 to 6. Excellent team work of all of the boys accounted for our second victory. Wabashโ Sept. 24 After an almost uneventful first half, the Vikes snapped to life in the third and fourth quarter to score 34 points and smother the Wabash Apaches 40-0 in a C. I. C. battle to- night on Alumni Field. It was the Vike ' s third straight win and second co nference victory. This victory was sweet revenge for last year ' s 21-0 lacing at the hands of the Apaches. The Viking fans showed up 2500 strong to witness this game. 21 Oscar Naab. Dick Weyler, Ed Shenefield.

This year they were coached by Oscar Naab, assisted by Dan Perry. They had a good season, winning four and losing three. The Viking team of 1952 promises to be big and fast and should win quite a few games for Huntington High. Before the year was over several of the boys were playing on the B team and should be able to make the varsity next year. 1948 B Team Football - The farm system of the Vikes showed some rapidly improving football players un- der the tutelage of Coach Oscar Naab. The B Team possessed both quantity and quality. Almost all of the boys on this team saw action, at least once, in a varsity game. Several of the better freshmen played in some of the B team games. This year the team beat Peru, Wabash, and Decatur. They lost to Wabash, Columbia City, and Bluffton. The Decatur and Bluffton games were fresh- man-sophomore games. A lot of time is spent with these boys, for it is the freshman and B teams that we mold our future Huntington High School Football teams. 22 Fort Wayne Central โ Oct. 15 The mighty Sea Rovers again tasted defeat, this time at the hands of the Central Tigers. The Vikes were outclassed in almost every way tonight. Per- haps it was a reoccur- rence of the Fort Wayne โ ight! The coach did much substituting in an effort to find a combination that would chek against the powerful Tigers. The final count was 21-0. New Castleโ Oct. 22 The crippled Vikings sailed to their third straight defeat tonight by spotting the Trojans 21 points in the first 13 min- utes. The Trojans ' first three touchdowns were made by the same meth- od, a perfect blocking set up for three perfect pass- es. The Vikes scored on on a quai ' ter back sneak by Hendricks, which cli- maxed a 79-yard drive. Passwater scored the other touchdown for the Norsemen on a three- yard line plunge. The final score read. New Castle 34- Vikings 13. Peru โ Nov. 5 This rainy evening found the Vikes and Ti- gers engaged in mud fights on the slightlv sog- ffv turf of Krieffbaum Field. The Norse learn- ed a few things from the Elwood game and used them on the Peru ball club. The final tally was 48-0 in favor of the happy Sea Rovers. The coach was ready for his annual shower, wearing overalls fli d boots, which also heloed him in wading up and down the muddv sidelines. Wilson and Vardaman scored two touchdowns each while Hendricks. Passwater and Shultz each scored a touchdown. The con- versions were accounted for by Passwater (4), Shultz and Stonebraker. 23 Basketball Dick Wilsonโ This short but power and speed packed fellow saw much action this season. He was noted for his ability to drive under the basket. He was called upon many times to help the Vikes com- plete their excellent season. Dick Hendricks โ The tallest of the Sea Rovers this year was chosen to the all-conference first team. He was among the top ten scorers of the C. I. C. He was chosen honorary captain by his teammates. The first half of the season he operated at a forward posi- tion. The last half he played center. Coach Bill Williams Harry Smith โ This big boy operated from the center position and was good at picking the ball off of the bang board. This was his fourth year of sports at H. H. S. He likes sports so well that, although he could have graduated in January, he finished the year. Frank Pyleโ Frank came to H. H. S. late in the season, but managed to get into several games. He is a good defensive man and an excellent free-throw artist. He has a one-handed fall-away shot from about fifteen feet out that was good for several baskets. Gene Woods โ Tito was the object of much ob- servation in the warm-up sessions, for everyone won- dered if he was hot . He was among the ten scorers of the conference, and was named to the all-conference second team. He was our shortest first-five man, standing just under six foot. He played a large part in every game by his consistent scoring. 1949 Streit moved up to the first a mid-season shakeup in the Jim Streit โ Hen- five when there was Varsity line-ups. He is an excellent dribbler, and hits better than average on long shots. He is a good defensive player and aided the Vikes in their excep- tionally good season. He o perated at the guard posi- tion. Don Buzzard โ One of the coolest players of this year ' s squad was Buzz . He joined the Vikes in mid- season and saw repeated action through the remainder of the season and tournaments. He was a long shot artist, hitting from way out. Jerr ' Smith โ Jerry, who was bothered with a knee injury throughout his high school career, earned a position on the first ten this season. He was used often when insurance points were needed. He made a specialty of long shots. Gene Vardaman โ Pete was the man called on when fast, close play was in order. Pete liked to give notice that he was in the game. Although he did not start many games, he saw much action. Jerry Hiers โ Operating at one of the forward posi- tions, he finished four years of high school sports this year. He started e ' eiy game with the exception of a couple when he was out with an injury. He is per- haps noted best for his defensive ability. He specialized in one-handed push shots, and used his height to great advantage. Jerry is certainly just beginning a great sports career. โ - ,-!- w Pete Vardaman, Frank Pyle.

The Norseman powerhouse went ahead to drop only one more encounter in the regular season play. This group of boys was smooth operating and although they were weak on free throv s, they had a large variety of shots from the field that could be counted on. Ten Senio ' s hung up their varsity uniforms for the last time in their high school careers. The Vikes, with the coaching of H. B. Williams, turned in one of the best seasons in many a year. One of the main reasons for an excellent season was the fine co-operation between coach and players, and the smooth teamwork. These factors accounted for the tall Sea Rovers being feared by every opponent. HUNTINGTON SECTIONAL The fans got their first glimpse of the tourney favorites at 11:00 A. M. Friday when the Vikes and Banquo squared off in first round play. The Norse, with Georgous George Hendricks pitching 18 in the first half and reserve pivot man Harry Smith duplicating that feat in the second half, romped to a 79-24 win over the out classed but ever-scrapping Indians. In second round play Friday night the Sea Rovers battled the Spartans from Jefferson Center of Huntington county. The Vikings came out on the long end of a 55-29 count. The Jefferson boys were paced by Sammy Shook and Tony Chambers. Again it was the play of Hendricks and Hiers on the boards, and Gene Wood and Passwater playing superb floor games. Saturday afternoon found the Union Sharpshooters hanging on for 2 quarters until Big Dick hit five from the floor in the torrid fourth period and the Red and Black coasted to a 41-20 victory over the Blue and White. The big game of the tournament arrived at 8:15 P. M. Saturday night. By 9:45 the same evening, the Rams from Huntington Catholic had the nets well in hand. The Sea Rovers were paced by Gene Wood and Ernie Passwater with 12 and 10 respectively. Good sportsmanship, with the ever-present exceptions, was the password of the tournament, even following the final game, which H. H. S. students found rather difficult to take without a few tears. 26 Back row: Dick Wiles, Phil Burchett, Don Suit, Danny Kimmel, Doug Poe. Front row; Doug Hum, Bob Bond, Bob Koehling- ei .

The coaches though are not too worried about bas- ketball propects for the next few years, because the Scylds this year were young and lost quite a few by a close margin. The Scylds tallied 464 points during the season, but were outscored by their opponents, who racked up 527 points. They averaged 24 points per game, and their opponents averaged 28 points a game. Three juniors, five sopho- mores, and seven freshmen played on the Scyldings this year. The juniors were D. Poe, D. Suit, and D. Wiles; the sophomores were B. Bond, B. Whitacre, D. Hum, B. Hunnicutt, and H. Edwards; and the freshmen were J. Hendricks, E. Haines, R. Hay, J. Miller, R. Weist, R. Harris, and D Lintner. 88 Back Row: Dick Lintner. Russell Hay.

They lost to Wabash, Marion and Central of Fort Wayne twice. The highlight of the season was winning a four way tourney at Logansport. They disposed of Rensselaer 36-28 and Lo- gansport 32-31 to win the meet. The starting line-up usually found Weist and Haines at forwards, Miller at center, and Hay and Hendricks at guards: subs were Lintner and Harris. H Club The purpose of the H club is in part as follows and was taken from the club ' s by- laws: To instill in each member a code of sportsmanship that will serve as credit to the individual alone and to the organization as a whole. To promote the desire on the part of every boy in school to participate in some form of Intra-mural or Intra-scholastic athletics. To recognize and doubly honor those boys competing in intra-scholastic athletics who show outstanding ability in all athletics in different sports. Back Row: Donald Ccvey.

They attended the state cheer-leaders ' conference at Indiana University for the second year. Jean Bippus, Ellie Shenkel, Zan Poorman, and Lily Minnear, the Scylding yell-leaders, also did a wonderful job. Senior Yell Leaders Susie Briggs. Janie Weyler, Lois Smith.

I %w โข lflft lift LO OK I NG AT Organizations are so important to the high school boys ' and girls ' curriculum. Their parties, meetings, and dances make up a large part of the social life of H. H. S., while they encourage, too, more serious, construc- tive thinking. 34 Jlctii itiQA 35 Gal es How darling โ how utterly, utterly! Where did you get those cute eggs with frilly bonnets? Haven ' t you heard? It ' s the Sunshine Gales project each year. The group was organized a few years ago un- der the sponsorship of Miss Cage. They decorate and sell Easter egss every spring, the proceeds of which are contri- buted to the Riley Fund for children at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. Janet Bailey was their chair- man. UHAmna Mary White Guild Mary White was a girl the same age as most of us. Due to an untimely death, she did not have the opportunities we are afforded. It is the purpose of our guild, named after the girl, to spread sunshine and cheer whenever it is possible. To carry out our ideal, we fix May baskets to hang on the doors of faculty members, and send some to the hospital to be put on trays. We also sponsor the religious services which are so inspiring during Holy Week. This group is sponsored by Mrs. Marie Porter and Miss Florence Wei- ford, with our chairman being Betty Kissinger. 16 s. s. s. The Social Service Sun- beams weren ' t organized soon enough to welcome Coach Bill ' s third daughter with a beautiful red rose. Sorry, maybe next time. โ With Miss Emma Kline as sponsor and Cindy Coyle as chaii ' ' man, S. S. S. performed this duty the rest of the year. Not only on the occasion of birth, but in illness and death. Many other worthwhile things were done including sending clothes to Riley Hos- pital, and naturally, the an- nual chili dinner. oclati Craft Guild The Craft Guild meets every other Thursday under the leadership of Miss Zahn with Ange Stephan serving as chair- This year the guild made favors for hospital trays and received a letter of acknowl- edgment from the hospital. Also those beautiful favors you saw at the Junior-Senior Banquet were made by the Craft Guild. 37 Care CARE is a newly organized society here at H. H. S. It is about the same as the national organization which sends box- es of needed supplies to Europe. Although it is quite new, CARE has already sent several things to Germany. JA M. M. S. The M. M. S. with Pat Rusk as chairman sponsors the big- gest event of the year โ the annual Sweetheart Dance at the Masonic Temple. Work- ing and worrying up to the last minute, the committee collapsed in chairs to listen to the heavenly music of Jimmy Warren. They soon agreed it was well worth the work. Under the direction of Miss Sees, chief worrier, several other dances were given. Pea- nut Week, during which each girl received goodies from a secret peanut pal, really went over big. Sweetheart Dance Lovely music floated out to greet the couples as they ar- rived at the annual Sweet- heart Dance sponsored by the M. M, S. on February 19, 1949. The background was two gold fans connected by a gold cord on a red backdrop. The poles were decorated with small fans with the names of the couples placed on theim. The music was furnished by the Jimmy Warren Orchestra. Big Sisters ere to help who come greet the arrive on school, and their home once in a elevator. Big sisters are hi the new Freshmen to H. H. S.

To each girl is appointed a big sister to help her during her first days at school. โ as;; :3e::: ri fiflfci 39 Sr. Hi-Y The officers for this year were: ' President, Dick Gelzleichter; Vice-President, Dick Walters; Secretary, Jim Law; Treasurer, Dick Collins; Chaplain, Meredith Souers. The Senior Hi-Y under the direction of its capable sponsors, Mr. Gerdes and Mr. Ware, is one of the leading clubs for high school boys. The club is open to all junior and senior boys. The Hi-Y clubs enjoyed an outing at Camp Dick Runyan in September. Other events of the year were the Father-Son Banquet, Hayride, Mother-Son Banquet, and a Potluck and Splash Party. The main event of the year was the Best Girl Dinner Dance, April 13. This dance is an established custom smd is looked forward to by all. The Junior Hi-Y chose as their officers for this year: Hal Lesh, yr Y . T โข President; Tom Casper, Vice-President; Dick Glenn, Secretary-Treas- Y J l I- I urer; John Cozad, Sgt. of Arms; Bob Stevens, Chaplain; Jerry Parker, Historian. Their advisor was Ed Sunley and their sponsor was Dale Ware. With the aid of these officers, the boys carried on a Christmas Box Sale, took part in the District Hi-Y Conference, which was held here, sponsored a Mother and Son banquet, and participated in many joint meetings or forums with the other Hi-Y groups. 40 Sr. Tri-HUY Under the direction of its sponsor, Mrs. O. K. Zeigler, the Senior Tri-Hi Y had a very busy year. In October they had an Anniversary Dance; at Christmas they filled baskets for the needy. Some of their other activities were a chili supper, Father-Daughter Banquet, and several joint discussions with the Sr. Hi-Y. The officers were Thalia Huston, President; Peggy Welker, Vice-President; Carolyn Briggs, Secre- tary; Nancy Yarger. Treasurer; and Jeanne Young, Chaplain. The girls worked hard to maintain the motto of the club, To create, maintain, and establish throughout the home, school and community high standards of Christian character. Jr. Tri-Hi-Y This organization has proved to be one of the most unportant activities in high school. Under the leadership of Marilyn Zeigler, Murnie to you and me, the group had six projects. Three were projects for the benefit of others: three were for the girls themselves. The following officers were elected and served faithfully during the busy year: Lois Haupert, President; Jane Burris, secretary; Joann Hendi-icks, treasurer; Joanne Vickery, Chaplain; and Jackie Pfeifer, Sergeant of arms. (By the way, Jackie didn ' t have to bounce one single person all year!) 41 Sr. Masque and Gavel Back Row: Bessie Gerringer. Connie Mygrant. Lenore Bloom. Morris Brown. Phil Gardner. Meredith Souers.

The organization is open to any junior or senior with at least a B average. They have given many fine religious programs in the auditorium this year as well as taking part in Junior Town Meeting, Around the City Desk, the Rotary Contest and the American Legion Contest. Many of the members took part in the Revue and, oh, of course, don ' t forget the daily announcelnents. We also had a large group at the Purdue Conference and gave many outside programs. Their very capable and willing sponsor was Mrs. Wallace Patterson. Their officers for the year were: President, Phil Gardner; Vice-President, Thalia Huston; Secretary, Ellen Priddy. Junior Masque and Gavel is the first and only step leading to Senior Masque and Gavel. In preparation for the advance, the .iuniors must prove themselves worthy. This year not only did they take part in the Bible Readings, the annual Alumni Banquet, and the Modulus Revue, but they sent Hal Lesh, their President, to the Speech Conference at Purdue. Mrs. Patterson sponsors the group of forty-seven members, who elected Hal Lesh as president; Susan Richardson as vice-president; and Ann Bowers, as secretary-treasurer. When Susan moved, Duane Caley was elected to fill her position as Vice-president. Jr. Masque and Gavel Rack Row: Lily Minniear, Mary Sue Stephan, Bruce Stewart. Duane Caley. Hobart Munger.

We started off with a very inspiring program on The Flags Still Fly AuClitOYiUTTiS ' Edward Louis Jeambey. I ' ve never seen so many flags. .r KA. J.iL ji iL4.iiia In October we entered the auditorium to see a strange outfit on the stage. We thought perhaps someone had moved in, but it was just a prop for Howard Cleave ' s interesting program on Catching Animals Unaware. We had a rest until December when Mr. Lynch showed us how to use a bow and arrow. Also in December we had the Deep River Quartet. After our Christmas vacation, the Conservatory Players from Chicago, presented the Importance of Being Earnest. We had several college choirs that entertained u; during the year. Our last, but certainly not least program, was Richard Carradine who presented, Scenes from Shakespeare. The Biology Club chose as its officers this year: Glenna Fahrnow, President; Barbara Tower, Vice- president; Maralee DuHadway, Treasurer; Dorothy KauJf, Secretary. With the direction of these officers and their wonderful sponsors, Mr. Glenn Hummer and Dale Wai-e, this group held many activities such as a speech by Dr. Lowe from the college, a trip to Pui-- due University, and outdoor steak fry and many other programs.

Of course they ' ll be _,, there because the Swing Inn is one of the most popular places in town for hp high school kids. Anybody and everybody is invited to come, and the dues are only $1.00 a year. You don ' t see anyone smokmg or drinkmg m the ti)in(1 Swmg Inn because it just isn ' t allowed. It is open from four to five every kJWIiI y gf gj. school and on Friday and Saturday night, it is open from eight until eleven. , , , , i,_. i tT.7T. Of course when you mention the Swing Inn, you cant help but think of Mamie and Ed Sunley. Miss Henry is always there on the job at night and Murnie Zeigler take care of the roughnecks after school. I don ' t think I have ever danced a whole dance without George Young calling someone to the phone over the P. A. (He just loves that thmg.) The Swing Inn Board this year elected Dick Gelzleichter for their president from H. H. S. The other members from H. H. S. are Dolores Feltman, Barbara Alexander, Marilyn Fosselman, Susie Bnggs, Jack Wamsley, Vice-President, Alfred Shultz, and Ernie Passwater. From H. C. there are Marianne Bolinger, Treas., Norma Gass, Sec, and Dean Joyle. 44 Upon arrival at the Masonic Temple where the banquet was held, the guests were deeply impressed with the beautiful decorations. The tables were lined with green, upon which were white roses and white carnations. In the back- ground appeared a shadow box with We Honor Our Seniors done in green and white. A lovely meal was enjoyed after which a dance was held with the Dale Higgin ' s Orchestra furnishing the music. The Jr. an Prom of J 948 dS: r. 45 Jim Kocher.

Honor Students The Senior Honor Society is composed of 15 ' 0 of the Senior Class; while the Junior Honor Society is made up of 5% of the Junior Class. The members are chosen from the upper 25% of each class. With a com- posite score of student ranking, faculty rank- ing, and scholarship ranking, a faculty com- mittee makes the final selection of the mem- bers for each group. The Kiwanis Builds Forever award is given by the Kiwanis Club to the highest 5% of the Senior Class based entirely on scholar- ship. Bob Ball Colleen Kreisher. Alfred Shultz.

Student Council Outside of an empty space in the hall now and then where a monitor should have been, the Student Council has done a splendid job this year. From each of the home rooms, two stu- dents are chosen to the student council and this group becomes the governing body of H. H. S. The officers for this year were: Bob Carey, president; Emie Passwater, vice-president; and Pat Rusk, Secretary-treasurer. Audio Visual The Audio Visual Department provides us with movies on history, English, mathemat- ics, and many other things. They also provide us with scenes of social life.

CAA This year ' s large G. A. A. group chose for their officers: President, Carolyn Knoll; Vice-President, Jean Altman; Secretary, Anne Bippus; and Treasurer, Jane Weyler. They had a very successful year, spon- soring two volleyball tournaments, inter- class tournaments in several sports, a trip to Washington, D. C, a trip to the Ttilip Festival in Holland, Michigan, and a trip to Indianapolis to see Sonja Henie ' s Ice Revue. A potluck-initiation-splash party and the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet were also enjoyed by the girls. To boost the treasury, they sold Viking headscarves, greeting cards, and candy. The achievements, both individually and as a whole, have been outstanding. Earn- ing 350 points or more, Patsy Rusk, Carolyn Knoll, Jean Altman, Lois Smith, and Jane Weyler earned the pla que, the highest award of the Indiana State League. The girls ' gym classes and the G. A. A. again sent seeds and booties, made out of old felt hats, to Europe. Back Row Mr Gerde . Lee Lt.- vton. Bob Mim_:,u. Dick Gelzleichter. Richard Walters, Walter Vater.

They were there early at evevyi football game and roped off a section for students and Band members (only of course a few adults got by them). They got the programs out for every game and had a wonderful hamburger fry at Lagro State Park early in the season. Even after all this, they still had time for that horrible thing called initiation (believe me, it was horrible). They had for their ofificers: President, Jack Morris; Vice-Presi- dent, Dick Gelzleichter; Secretary-treasurer, Nancy Yarger. Back Row: Jean Bippus, Marie Holsworth. Romaine Schall, Janet Connolly.

He has to find the songs and arrangements suitable for the band; then, the hardest job of all, he has to spend many hours practicing them with the band before they are ready to be played in public. To say the least, there is a lot of extra practicing before a contest in which the band always walks away with top honors. Mr. Weesner can always be depended upon for a won- derful band.

They play at the games, pep sessions, auditorium pro- grams, and even give a special concert all their own. Some of the numbers they played this year were: My Happiness, Until, Ballerina, and many other popular tunes. I think many of us take the attitude that the band will always be around to play for us and we do not realize or appreciate all the hard work it takes to make this band the wonderful organization it is. 53 Majorettes As an added attraction at the games, we can al- ways depend on the ma- jorettes for a swell show. The majorettes this year were: Yvonne Detwiler, Sue Ebert, Phyllis Jones, Donna Bryant, and Phyl- lis Lewis. Phyllis Jones. Sue Ebert, Phyllis Lewis, Yvonne Detwiler Our band has added a great deal to our home games with their matches, pep songs, and popular numbers. Not only is this group popular with local fans, but it has gained the reputation among visiting fans, as being one of the finest in the state. During the season Marilyn Fosselman, Peggy Welker, and Max Truby appeared as soloists with the band. The three trumpeteers, Burdell Sell, Ned Snowden, and Dick Walters, added their bit at home and at many games away. Back Row: Jack Schacht.

A soprano soloist, nightingale of the sophomore class, trills a high c in practice for the winter concert. The mixed and mingled voices of an Appella choir furnish the musical back- ground for the scene. The choir, which is eleven years young is ably led by Mr. Slater. Aside from their work as a gi ' oup, they have formed many ensembles, which have per- formed at several special functions. Our hats are off to the choir of Huntington High โ one of the largest and most certainly the best in its history.

Janie ' s dreams were realized and as Jack Wamsley, Master of Ceremonies, presented her with the dainty httle silver bracelet signifying that she was Miss Modulus of 1949, she was so excited and happy that she nearly cried. It was a lot of hard work, she was heard to say later, but it . certainly was worth it.

Modulus Staff The Modulus Staff is a group of students who work all year to put out a complete record of the year ' s happenings through pictures and writing. Naturally there must be someone to compile the pictures and write ups and that was Barbara Alexander, our editor. Then there must be someone to make sure things are done right, and turned in on time, plan and pro- duce our Revue, and do the worrying for all, that ' s our sponsor, Mr. Wilbern. Speaking of the Revue, it is a show put on to make money to publish the yearbook. This year it was named, Let Yourself Go. ' 60 Jane Barnhart, Barbara Alexander, Maiilyn Fosselman, Geraldine Sunday.
