' ' That's none of your business. Mr. Lasher, it's time for the bell Oh My Gosh. Are you kidding. Illl never make it. ' That 's just it, I don 't know You might know. ' ' That 's exciting. ' ' That makes me so mad Giau In the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven there entered 17 green freshmen in the Ireland High School. They were all very green to the high school life. Being timid and shy, we were led .on by the class ahead of us. VVe soon got adjusted to high school life, and things began to buzz. We had election of class officers, and they were as follows: Patty Morgan, President, Millie Mehringer, Vice President, Marcella Stenftenagel, Treasurer, and Ray Werner, Secretary. Miss ,Anna Marie Schurig was appointed class sponsor. By the time the first month of school was over, we received an invi- tation to initiation given by the Sophomores. It was held on October 2, 1947. We were very shy but attended it with great anxiety. Our next event was to give a return party to the Sophomores. It was decided at a meeting to give them a Valentines Party on February 14, 1947. Our Freshmen class was proud to have Frank and Alf on the basket- ball line up. This brought our first year to an end with success. NVe were now looking forward to a few months of vacation. Although we were glad to have a vacation, we were very happy to return to school and take our position as Silly Sophomores. Ready for action, we elected class officers, who were as follows: Rose Mary Blessinger, President, Bob Sermersheim, Vice President, Pat Morgan, Treasurer, and Eddie I-Iopf, Secretary. Mr. Roy Allen was appointed class sponsor. Our first class meeting was held during the latter part of September and we ordered our class sweaters. It was decided to have Kelly green with a green I trimmed in white with 51 written in white. At our next meeting we set the date to give the Freshmen an invi- tation party. It was held on October 8, 1948. All Sophomores were very excited in preparing everything and everyone had a good time. After our Initiation party, we got down to business until we had another social event. It was a return party given to us by the Freshmen. They gave us a wonderful party and we all had a fine time. Our Sophomore class was proud to announce that Frank and Alf were on the basketball lineup. By this time we were again ready for vacation. Enjoying our vacation very much, we entered our Junior year with great anxiety. This year there were ten jolly juniors. Class officers elected were as follows: Carol Wagner, President, Alf Burger, Vice President , Millie Mehringer, Treasurer, Lillian Goeppner, Secretary. Miss Jane Esray was appointed class sponsor. Our next big event was the arrival of our class rings. WVe were proud of them and displayed them to everyone we saw. On October 21, 1949 the Seniors entertained us by taking us to the Oakland City Drive-In to see the show The Red Pony. Everyone enjoyed seeing it. 12' Glau Jlmfafuf, Ganfcl. We enjoyed a grand Christmas Party, and after that we thought about a suitable play to give. Finally it was decided to give Sun- bonnet Jane From Sycamore Lane. The entire Junior Class partici- pated in it. Mr. Buechler was appointed play director, Mr. Allen assistant director. It was a great success. The next outstanding event was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held on April 18, 1950. Patricia Goeppner and Ray Merkley were crowned Queen and King. The boys participating in sports were Frank and Alf on the first team. All Juniors were ready for vacation after a busy year. Again we entered school for the year 1950-51, realizing this would be our last year. Class officers were elected during the latter part of September. They were as follows: Annie Schnaus, President, Frank Schmitt, Vice President, Lillian Goeppner, Treasurer, and Mary J ahn, Secretary. Mr. Earl Buechler was appointed class sponsor. The senior class sponsored a school dance and the Christmas Dance. Each one was a great success. The basketball team was a successful one with Frank Schmitt and Alf Burger being co-captains. Tony Terwiske was student manager. Our senior class play was the biggest success in history. Mr. Buechler, our class sponsor, entertained us on the 17th of Jan- uary with a chicken fry. Everyone had a wonderful time. The last week of school the Seniors had four parties which were enjoyed by all and finally the time arrived for which we had been striving for 12 years. All decked out in caps and gowns we were a proud group of ten marching to the music of Pomp and Circum- stances. With our pride was mixed a slight sense of sorrow as we thought of all the teachers, classmates, assignments, and real good times We were leaving behind. It was the day of our commencement.

I always had a little hope for the class of '51 -Mr. Lasher even did. In the last big carnival held in Ireland, I shopped around for a crystal ball teller, and sure enough, I found one. On the outer part of the big tent was a picture of Madame Patricia Marganrizo. I went inside only to find out that. the madame was none other than Patty Morgan. In only one year she gained high renoun in the field of the crystal ball. She told me- later that she has told the fortune of such celebrities as Margaret Truman, Drew Pearson, and many others. There was a large crowd to see Madame Patricia, but after finally my turn came, I inquired about the future of all the members of the class of '51. This was in 1970. The madame first saw a man with a very distinguished look-a man of high intelligence. With much effort she was able to see that it was Frank Schmitt, who was the head of the ecology department at the University of Notre Dame. Since Frank and Alf Burger were always together in school, I ex- pected him to be also in the same profession, but to my surprise, he wasn't. He was traveling through the country in a covered wagon with his wife and thirteen children. His occupation was rather odd, he was a knife grinder. Alf seemed very content, after all he was successful in life. All of a sudden tl1e crystal ball cracked, shivered, and the madame went into a deep coma. I was wondering what happened and then she came out with it. In the new 553,000,000 hospital just constructed in the suburbs of Ireland, Dr. Tony Terwiske was in charge. He had gained a high position in the field of medicine. He was one of the members on the Board of Governmental Health. He acted as special advisor on the newly adopted Socialized Medicine Program set up in this country. He first became interested in this program while he was still a senior. Dr. Terwiske had as his able assistant, Nurse Rosie Blessinger. There was more than just mutual interest in their profession. The crystal be- came very foggy here but I was informed that they were engaged and were getting married. Rosie was chosen the nurse of the year back in 1957. Then came in focus a young lady high in society. It was Millie Mehringer. She had married the man who owned half of Ireland. She amused herself mostly on her ranch where she had fifteen race horses. In 1959 her Atom Bomb won the Kentucky Derby. She spends all her winters in Florida. She is the envy of all the people in Ireland. 17 eau www, eww. With little trouble the ball showed another lady high in society. It concerned Carol Wagner. She owned half of all the millinery shops in the country. She really came into the business in her first marriage. Her deceased husband left her a large sum of money which she in- vested. Her business is slipping because of another interest. She has developed a special love for dogs and her pet has the name of Bow Wow. She enters Bow Wow in all the kennel shows and walks away with top honors. The crystal ball then changed to a beautiful rose and inside we saw Sister Lillian Goeppner. Because of a severe blow received in her early life with her one and only love, she decided that she would become a nun. She took the name of Sister Roberta. She is teaching kindergarten classes at St. Roberts, the new parish in Ireland. Her affectionate dis- position qualifies her well for this. Mary Jahn came in view next. She was a very politically minded person. She has gained much esteem as a political leader. In 1962 she was candidate for United States Senator on the Socialist Party. One of the planks in her platform was to make it compulsory for every :nan to get married befor nineteen years of age. Mary is doing her part too, she has been married six times already. After this, Madame Patricia asked for her money but I refused. I told her that she had forgotten one member. The Madame informed me that the one remaining member's life was too involved and com- plicated for any picture to come in clear focus. She finally consented to telling me a few things. Of course it was all about Annie Schnaus. Annie had really gotten around since she left high school. She gained her first world-wide popularity when she won the famous beer- drinking contest put on by the new beer company named Bernie's Guggle-Guggle Special. She received as her reward for drinking twenty-eight mugs of beer, in thirty minutes, a trip around the world. While in England, she also won the world champion single tennis matchg in fact, she also won the doubles playing single handed. She married Count Billvogela, a rich Count of Scotland, but his timidity was too much for her, and she only lived with him for two days and then divorced him. Among other important events, she was Honolulu queen of 1960, renouned toe dancer, opera singer Qbetter than Margaretj, and many others. Because of so many people coming in for business, Madame Mar- ganrizo told me to leave. She was very moderate in her fee-only 5579.00 for all of this material. As you can see, the class of 1951 distinguished itself in more than one way. As a final prophecy. we, the class of '51, predict that Ireland High School will never be surpassed in producing graduates of the highest caliber. Teachers, school, and students will always be tops. 18 -W--.....,..,.-...W ,, ,A,,,,,,A ,in it i - ufuhaeladd RAPHAEL ACKERMAN The tall blond 'happy-go-lucky' boy who is the informa- tion center of our class.

Among some of the changes was the introduction of the duodecimal system of numbering all the booksg a card catalogue including the author and title card has been introduced. To the collection of books already available have been added modern and up to date fiction and non fiction. A few price collections have also been addedg as a result there has been more interest shown in the library by the students according to Mr. Buechler. Mr. Buechler, the librarian, has ably been assisted by his assistant librarians, Millie Miller, Mitzie Gress and Betty Armstrong. They have given much of their time and effort in making a bigger and better library for the students. They are also planning to bring in more non-fiction and reference material in the near future. The library staff and students are partly indebted to Mr. Allen for making it possible bo buy many of these books. It was through the pie and box supper that much of this was made possible. 31 Ou. 1:o0uJuGAu.nMy -. . rv.-,y.,., ' Lzgmgi ,vit 355775 m n -.fnews Nl 70. we w ' ,H un. ff Sin its . SOCIAL AND ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The Sociology and Economics De- partment is headed by the faculty member, Mr. Buechler. Only Seniors are in both classes. Interesting field trips, special assignments, lectures, and discussions made up most of the time. SOCIAL STUDIES The government class by Mr. Lasher stresses mainly functions, general makeup, and appreciation of our government. No class is more important than government in such frying days as these. HOME ECONOMICS The Home EC. classes have as their main purposes to prepare students to become good housewives. The depart- ment is headed by Mrs, Francis Weaver. SCIENCE Our science department has seen many changes in the past year. A new microscope, many species of animals, and slides have been added. Biology and health are taught by Mr. Buechler. COMMERCE To make future secretaries an bookkeepers out of the students i Miss Kuebler's primary objective i her commerce subjects. The student also receive much practical knowledg of budgeting, etc., in these classes. MATHEMATICS Math. is one of the three R's tha' have been taught from almost the beginning of education. The Math. is capably directed by Mr. Lasher. It is not unusual to find two students argue ing about some geometric problem. ENGLISH Although we think of English as a grammar course, much other inter- esting work is involved. Public speak- ing, debates, book reports, ljterature, drama, story-telling, and much other material is presented in an English class. Miss Kuebler, Mrs. Weaver, and Mr. Buechler teach the English classes. HISTORY All History is under the auspicies of Mr, Allen. His wide experiences in travel and in reading make him an excellent teacher of these subjects. He holds the complete interest of all of his students the full hour with his timely gestures and interesting pre- sentation.

The packed house had nothing but favorable comment, concerning all members of the cast and director. The peculiar situations that the so called Family got themselves into have been unequaled in any other play. The play was another example of the excellent work the Juniors have been doing. After a slow start, the Juniors buckled down and with night and Sunday afternoon practices, they were able to do the nice job they did. Mrs. Weaver was chosen sponsor, and with her experience was able to do a very nice job. 37 ada! t. .t. I The first social event of the school year of 1950-51 was the pie and box social. All the girls were required to bring a pie or box. This social was a great success and was enjoyed by all who attended. There was also a short skit given by a few students of each class. The proceeds went to the miscellaneous fund. On October 18 the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen with' an initiation party. Even though the Freshmen were scared, they enjoyed it very much and definitely will remember the bananas. Our next event was the theatre party given the middle of October to the Juniors by the Seniors. They were entertained at the Drive Inn Theater with a western movie. After the show a delicious lunch was served at Sakel's Drive Inn Restaurant. In the first part of November, the Junior class held a school dance. It was well at- tended by the students. The dance was a great success. The next beautiful scene which took place in the Ireland Community Gym was the crowning of the basketball queen. Millie Mehringer was crowned queen and Annie Schnaus was her maid of honor. This event took place November 15, 1950. Miss Mehringer was crowned by Co-Captains Schmitt and Burger. Another queen of Ireland High School was Lillian Goeppner who was chosen by the student body. She was queen of Ireland at the Huntingburg Fall Festival. She received many lovely and useful gifts. Our next social event was our annual Christmas party which was-sponsored by the Seniors. The hall was beautifully decorated in the Christmas colorsand a large tree. A short skit was given by the Seniors followed by dancing. Santa then came and dis- tributed the gifts. On December 21, 1950, the night of the Ireland-Stendal game, Mrs. Weaver and Miss Kuebler sponsored a Christmas Drill. The Physical Ed. class participated in it. Ireland was host to a blind tourney on New Years Day. The teams participating in the tourney were Otwell, Spurgeon, Oil Township, and Ireland. Otwell won the trophy. Mr. Buechler entertained the Seniors with a chicken fry at his home. The evening was spent in dancing and singing. The annual Junior and Senior Prom was another event which was enjoyed by every one attending. Delicious food and excellent entertainment were enjoyed by everyone. Senior week commenced with a party at Spring Mill State Park followed by many other parties which taxed everyone to the utmost financially, physicially, and spirit- ually. Finally the day came that we all looked forward to, but now regret-Commence- ment Day. 38 SENIOR PARTY The picture you see at the left w: taken at one of our many parties he during the course of the year. Tl Seniors were host to many of the: parties. The bigger and better Chris mas Party held included a Christm: play, games, Santa Claus, exchang of gifts and many other things. The faculty, believing that tl social part of education too is vel important, chaperoned all the partie DEBATE CLUB This was the first year as far a the staff knows that Ireland Hig School has had a debate club. Due t lack of experience and availabl reference, the debates were limite mainly to intra club debates. Th Club did participate in one majo event-debating during the Coca-Col Radio Program. The sponsor, M: Buechler, stated that he was highl satisfied with the club's work in th first year. President of the Club is Marit Gress and Secretary-Treasurer i Mildred Miller.

H. S. has become a familiar figure on the bench at all Spud ball games. He has guided and directed the Spuds. for the last five years, and certainly has attained an excellent win record of .750 during this time. He has proven himself as a coach even more so this past season with a tougher schedule. We are indeed proud of having Mr. Allen as coach. He not only filled his position as a good coach, but he also teaches social studies and physical education. His fine character and witty personality are familiar with all students. His hair is becoming a little thinner every year, but he comes up with a winning team consistently. His untiring efforts and long hours of extra work have paid off. As coaches should feel, he believes there is more in basketball than just winning ball games. One of his great objects is to mold young men into future citizens who will also be on the winning side. The staff wishes Roy the best of luck in future years as Spud coach. MR, BUECHLER If there is any one person that can be pointed to as an aid to the team's suc- cess, then point to Mr. Earl Buechler. Mr. Buechler, when employed at the Ireland High was not assigned to ath- letic duties. However his interest in the school has gone much farther than the class-room. He helps the coach in many ways, such as helping with the reserves, scouting and also by his moral support. Many thanks and good luck to the as- sistant coach, Mr. Buechler. HTONYH Anthony Tony Terwiske was assist- ant student manager during his sopho- more year and this makes his second year as student manager. In this capacity Tony is well liked by the players and coach. He helps in many ways and part of the team's success can be attributed to his efficiency. With Tony as manager, the equipment is always in place. We think Tony likes helping to play nurse- maid to the team. This is his last year as manager and he has an under-study fJerome Buschkoetterj who will take his place next year. FRANK Frank Schmitt, better known as Schmitty, has played four years on the high school basketball team. As a fresh- man he was a forward on the reserve team. When Schmitty was a sophomore, he subbed in the forward position on the first team. As a junior he made the starting five on the tirst team as a guard. It was here he began to impress the fans with his ability to fast-break. In his senior year Frank really came into his own. All the opposing coaches and teams have a great respect for his speed and his ability to break through. The school will also lose a swell fellow and a great ball player when Schmitty graduates. ALF Alf Burger, a senior, has played basketball all his four years of high school. As a freshman he played in the center position and occasionally at for- ward. In his sophomore year he subbed at center and forward. As a junior Alf made center on the first team and it was here he began to shine. No doubt many of the team's victories were assured be- cause of him. In his senior year Alf was again in the center position. His playing ability was outstanding. In many games he had the honor of having two guards assigned to him. The school will lose an excellent ball player and a fine fellow this year. u ,gi f.

The Ireland Spuds under the efficient tutoring of Coach Allen, have experienced another successful year in the popular round ball sport. Decked out in their colorful green and white uniforms, the Spuds made a good impression upon the fans. They left a stronger impression on most of the opponents after coming out on the long end of the score. Twenty boys came out for practice on October 1. With these young men Coach Allen molded his first and second team. Having lost six of his first ten from the previous year, Mr. Allen had quite a job cut out for him. After a considerable time and experi- menting, Mr. Allen came up with a formable squad. Burger, Schmitt, and Weidenbenner were the stalwarts and the other positions were shifted considerably with his young and inexperienced gnembers. Much credit is due to Mr. Allen, Mr. Buechler, and the tcam. They have been another successful team in the history of the Ireland Spuds. 46 d d I I t I I Team Record Troy ...................

Among some of the events the department participated in were the Christmas program put on between basketball games, school programs, contests and other events. The high light was the excellent Christmas program pre- sented during the Ireland versus Stendal ball game. Miss Kuebler, the girls physical director, has instilled a new interest in girl's sports. Some new equipment was purchased for the use of the girls this year among which was a net stand and a volleyball. 50 'mils Nw 'Mhvnuhuu--nn..

Mr. Lasher CMeeting his son on the campuslz Good afternoon Robert, and how is your father today? Here, Alf you can't hit that boy when he's down.' ' G'wan. What do you think I got him down for ? Henrietta: You-you forger, you. Roy: Why, dear, what do you mean? Henrietta: You hiked the price-tag on my birthday present. Teacher: What's the definition of the word dieting? Pupil: The triumph of mind over platter. U Annie: How did that bad little brother of yours get hurt? Carol: That good little brother of yours hit him with a brick. Patty: So you and Bob are getting married. I thought it was a mere flirtationl' Rosie: So did he. Carol, the farmer's daughter, was milking a cow when the bull suddenly charged toward her across the meadowg Carol did not move. Summer boarders who had dashed to safety saw to their astonishment that the bull stopped within a few yards of Carol then turned and walked meekly away. Weren't you afraid someone asked the girl. No I wasn't, but I'1l bet he was, Carol laughed. You see this cow is his mother-in- law. Tony: Teacher, there is something badly wrong. Miss Kuebler: What's wrong? Tony: It's my report card. Miss Kuebler: There's nothing wrong with it. Tony: Yes there is, these grades on my report card also make a bad reflection on you. A young college woman working on the census in a small southern town found a young mother rocking her child on the porch. How many children have you, Mrs. Jones? ,she inquired. Only four, replied the mother. A lap baby, a po'ch baby, a yard baby, and a shirttail baby. The big traffic cop glared at his most recent victim, then said with a half apologetic grin, Oh so you're a minister, don't tell me you didn't see that stop sign. Well no officer, replied the parson. I saw the stop sign all right. The thing is, I didn't see you. 52 'W' 1 ,. ,,,, .e-,...,,,.....,,., ., ffl Naam. 404474 MILLIE MEHRINGER--The wonderful night I was crowned Basketball Queen.
