What would we do without them, and their ever-ready willingness to direct and guide the'students? ln times of difficulty they're always on hand to give that little word of comfort and en- couragement. VVhen we enrolled as freshmen. teachers seemed to us to be awe-inspiring beings whose stern frowns would make the freshest of us but by the time we entered the senior we had learned to appreciate them and friendship. Now we can even forgive blowing up once in a while. quail, year, their their an VVe hope they've enjoyed our company during these four years as much as we have enjoyed being with them.

However, there are among ns certain shining lights to whom the J Hall of Fame wishes to pay special honors. As Freshmen, the ninety-odd members pinned their faith in the leadership of J.-xcili RUMBACH and so ably did he fill the president's office that he has held it for four suc- cessive years. Jack, pictured below, has stood always for the best interests of the class and of the school. Active in every possible field-honor student, band member, member of the Debate team, editor of the COMET, sports writer for the Jasper flerald, prominent Boy Scout-he deserves every honor for which he is a candidate. IJOLORES ERNST, valedictorian, has an enviable scholastic and citizenship record, She will at graduation receive the final gold scholarship award to which she is entitled for having maintained honor rating for four years. ln addition her four year average of 94.2 permit her to make the valedictory address at commencement. Salutatorian BERNARD VON- DliRSCHlXlI'l'T ranks seconds in the class with his 93.8 four year average. Both are mem- bers of the 4'-l' staff. 'l'hc boy among the tulips below is violinist and concert master ROBERT LEE BER- GIER, whom we acclaim for the national and state honors he has brought our school in solo violin contests. Other candidates for our 1941 Hall of Fame are basketball queen, ANNA MAE KIEF7 ICR, and prom queen RIT.-X MAE SCHNEIDER. Anna Mae boasts also an imposing list of activities: editor of the J , COMET columnist. bass fiddler in the orchestra, and memorizer of 230 lines for SECOND FIDDLE. Most notable high school athlete is ROMIIC PFEFFER, whom you see in action on our sports division page. Romie has won renown in basketball, basebll. and track. He shares honors with Rita Mae as prom king. -QQ' s v i. ii' z lgiwirwli 786' Q5-f l '90 f Luz do fu Norberl Alles Dole Bornhorl Edwin Beck Edward Hale Beckman Hilda Beckman Roman Bellag Marlha Beyke Ardella Birkle Anlon Bockelman Edward Boehm James Brown ' Ambrose Burger Rila Burger Pauline Dosch i Joan Dudine John Eckerle Rudolph Erny Anne Fleck l Annella Fuhs Belly Jean Gramelspacher Roberl Grarnelspacher l Roberl Gulgsell Charles Heichelbech Richard Hulher Belly Jo Kremp Richard Krodel Maurice Kuper Belly .lean Kunkel Roberl Kunkel Anna Mae Kunkler Bealrice Kunlz Louis Lamperl George lukemeyer Clelus Mehringer Sylvester Mehringer ,- if ,DF Q -L' 5. urzio 'za Louise Merkley Margaret Merlmley Virginia Merry Lloyd Miller Margie Miller Marilee Morgan Mildred Peak Dorothy Pittman Dolores Reising Frank Renneisen Edwin Rumbach Earl Salb Caroline Schenetzke Othmar Schlachter Ruben Schmitt Wiltrvd Schneider Eugene Schuetter Loumilda Schuetter Cyril Sermersheim John W, Shaftord Harold Smith Robert Stallman Leatrice Slriegel Alberta Stuehrk Ruth Sturm Josephine Traylor Mildred Uebelhor Ardella Voegerl Robert Vogel Justine Vollmer James Wallace Frederick Weisman Agnes Wigand Jerome Wuetcher Paul Vonderschmidt Marvin Alpers Lois Buechler Glenn Gramelspacher Robert Hemmerlein Dennis Keller Ralph Bauer Belly Boehm Mary Elise Dudine Virgil Egg Maurice Gramelspacher Ruby Harris Mary Ann Hoffman Frances Jean Jasper Frieda Kleeman 01250 mo 1.95 Belly Berger Arnell Breidenbaugh Francis Ebenkamp Dallas Fuhrman Anlhony Habig Louise Hauser Anna Mae Hoffman Mary Jane Jerger William Klem Joseph Berger Frances Buckler Gusto Eckerle Lila Lee Giesler Geraldine Haller Winona Hedinger Monica Hopf Mary Jochim Eleanor Kreilein Rose Blessinger Charles Ecksfein Robert Haller Eugene Jackson Marcella Kreilein Mildred Kreilein James Krempp Donald Kunkel Richard Kunkel 35 'UF lf'- 35',. 3 5:-' fri'-'We A .wa - ,... ... -Mgr 'W .

Virgil Clobba who had successfully directed the band since the death of Bliss Schnans in 1938. XN'hen Mr. Gobba resigned to accept position at Male lligh School in Louisville, his place was taken by Mr. VVorland, already a member of the faculty as vocal instructor and grade supervisor. The band peppcd up all home basket ball games, winning much approval when, under Mr. XYorIand's direction, it enfra0'ed in maneuvers at the New Albany and l'etersburfr frames. 5 tm . 5 3 .Xt the close of the basketball season the band embarked upon its rehearsing schedule for the District Band and Orchestra Contest at Rockport. In a combined band. orchestra, and glee club concert, known as the Contest-l estival Concert, in liundek llall on .Nlmril 3. the band blayed the three contest numbers: The llil- grimu by Lake, lfroica by Skornicka. and Bogar Fantasy by Geary.

Robert Lee Berger, national solo finalist, is concert master. At the opening of the second semester, Mr. XYorland succeeded Mr. Gobba as director. The oi'chestra's first public appearance was for an assembly program. Soon afterward rehearsals began in earliest to prepare for the District Band and Orchestra Contest at Rock- port. On .-Xpril 3, the orchestra presented for the public in the contest-'festival concert the three numbers also played for the contest: Rlinuet Galenten tstringsj by Zamecnik. 'Adagio Pathetiqueu by Godard. Dramatic Overture by Scarmolin. ln the District Contest Jasper was placed in first division and recommended to the State at Tell City. April 26. llere they succeeded, in obtaining second division. A selected orchestra of twelve members accompanied the operetta, played at Yankee- town for the high school commencement, and furnished the music for the senior play. axiom. ana! gf.. car The Chorus and Glee Club was reorganized as a class in September by Mr. lVorland. The vocal organizations consist actually of three groups-a girls' glee club. a boys' glee club. and a combined chorus. Geraldine Fisher serves as accompanist for all groups. In November an operetta was presented under Mr. NYorland's directiong then rehearsals were immediately begun for the Carol Program given as an assembly program in December of which the main feature was the cantata Childe jesus. For this an artistic back drop sim- ulating a stained glass window was designed and executed by Miss VVermuth. XYhen Mr. Worland became band director, Miss Amelia Matthews of Loogoottee took his place and conducted the vocal music with great success for the rest of the year. On March 30 the chorus directed by Miss Matthews took part in the District Choral Festival at Vincennes. Four numbersm Youth and Spring. None but the Lonely Heart, The Dancers, and All in the April Eveningniwere sung by the chorus. The girls sang Looking Glass River, and the boys' group Stout Hearted Menf' The program was broad- cast over XY.-XOY. The same numbers were presented in the Contest-Festival Concert April 3. The last public appearance of the Glee Club was in the Coinmercement exercises May 29. U55 Cgisnioz acvz oo! After weeks of work and fun, the Annual Staff, with the guidance and welcome aid of the sponsor, Miss Sonderman, issued the I of 1941. The editor, Anna Mae Kiefer, with her assistant editors, Dolores Ernst and Bernard Vonderschmitt, first had the task of planning the books. There were questions-many of them: How large a book can we have? How much can we appropriate for the costs? How many copies will be needed? After these were discussed and decided upon, the staff began actual work on the book. But let's look in on some of the busy scenes. Ilere we see the editor and her assistants with measure and rules drawing up a dummy. Oh-oh, something went haywire! For the upteenth time they have to start over. I,et's turn our attention to the photography staff. There is Eddie Schaaf tactfully sooth- ing Robert Vogel fwho was so helpful with the picturesj and here Rosemary Fuhs and Mildred Smith bribing people for their favorite snaps and snipping the snaps to fit. After a while you'll see them all stuck up from mounting. llear that peckin' on those keys? The stenographic staff is getting the material ready to go to press. Anna Marie Shurig, Dorothy Mae Buechlein, and Ada Mae Miller can type as fast as a machine gun can chatter. They help with other odd jobs too. Of course. we Il1l1Sl1,t forget the circulation staff. VVithout them the J would not be in your hands. Betty Jean Krodel, Dennis Critchlow, and Frances Schwartzmiller can give that sales talk like troupers. Probably the biggest headache was Alma Krodel's and Alfred Kuper's, who not only worried over the financial situation but did something about it. Of course other seniors helped with the coke sales too, but it was these two who bearded the patron in their dens and otherwise balanced the budget. lVas it fun? VVell-maybe. But the staff is glad it's finished, thank you!

H. S. was the slogan adopted to represent the aims of the COMET staff when it was organized shortly after the advent of the current school year. As the official organ of Jasper I-Iighg School, the COMET, published once a month, served to bring to the student body not only details of school activities, past, present, and future, but provided them with the inside on the popular aflairs of the heart as well as an interesting survey of the sports world. Aiding the staff in maintaining a vigorous freshness of news were the club and class reporters who kept them posted on the latest activity of their respective groups. ' In keeping with its slogan the COMET staff ventured from its journalistic capacities to carry out its aims. To add to the color of the debut of Hoosier Hysteria, the basketball sea- son, the staff supervised the election and crowning of a Basketball Queen who reigned su- preme at the opening tilt on November I. Seeing the need for assembly programs, the COMET also made it a policy to present monthly gatherings of the student body. The types of programs presented were very diversified, ranging from a very excellent speaker on char- acter building to musical interludes and motion pictures. Eigdfi CZLL5 The fall of 1940 found very interesting questions under discussion in Jasper High School and throughout the nation. Compulsory military service was being enacted, the quadren- nial classic of American history, the presidential election was under way, and the war ma- chines were booming in Europe. To add to this state of chaos, the Indiana Debating League adopted for debate the very political question, Resolved, That the power of the federal gov- ernment be increased. After having extended a call for members and by proceding along lines with a marked similiarity to that of the federal government, i.e. draft , the club finally embarked on their year's journey with eight members, one of them, Alfred Kuper, having been drafted. Other members included Jack Rumbach, Denzil Conolty, Bernard Vonderschmidt, Maurice Kuper, Frank Renneisen, Robert Gramelspacher, and Richard Kunkel. The club engaged in several inter-scholastic debates and presented a verbal combat for the Knights of Columbus. Clncidentally several democratic members of the negative teams almost were forced to switch political parties to argue the question effectivelyj. Debates were held with Bosse, Washington, Glendale, Salem, and the club also participated in the sec- tional tourney held at New Albany. Four members of the team will be lost by graduation, but the fall of '41 will find four seasoned veterans returning to the debating tactus who should prove an unconquerable- quartet. Awards received by members were emerald studded pins to sophomore members Maurice Kuper, Frank Renneisen, Richard Kunkel and Denzel Conolty. Jack Rumbach, Ber- nard Vonderschmidt, Alfred Kuper, and Robert Gramelspacher were the recipients of silver pins for one year's service with the club. The achievements of the team were to a large extent due to the persistent efforts of Mr. Merder who might well be called the nucleus of the club. amz '10, CIM PRESIDENT ------ - - ART WAGNER SECRETARY-TREASURER - - ROBERT VOGEL SPONSOR ------- - - - MR. MASON The Camera Club, in its third year of existence went over with a bang again this year, as it has in the past, only a slightly louder bang. The Club sponsored the first school dance of the year on October 16, 1940, with music by Ebb Uebelhor and his Moonlight Serenaders. The profits were used to purchase supplies for the dark room. Throughout the year, the meetings of the club were made interesting by slides and motion pictures from the Eastman Kodak Company, by talks and demonstrations delivered by some of the members and by local professional photographers, and by movies, most of which were furnished and shown by Glenn Gramelspacher. The dark room, with its new equipment and supplies, was rarely abandonedg it had no chance to get dusty from lack of use. A book entitled, How to Make Your Own Photo- graphic Equipment was purchased causing all glass hammers and left handed monkey wrenches and board stretchers to be put to work making photographic equipment. In the latter part of the winter season, a photo contest was conducted. Twenty-three pic- tures were submitted. The winners were: Richard Nicholson, first prizeg Glenn Gramel- spacher, second prize, and Art Wagner, third prize.

This object was achieved principally through reports given by members of the club and by addresses by faculty members or people experienced in related fields such as beauty operators, nurses, and business people. Organized this year, the club immediately became immensely popular with girls of all classes and soon boasted a membership of seventy-five. Meetings were held bi-weekly on 'Fliursclays at the activities period. In addition, the club's two social functions were a great success, the one a Christmas party on December 16, the other a gala Valentine dance which made a hit with the students because it was a bit different, The club treasury was boosted by coca cola sales at a basketball game and by hat check- ing during the Sectional. One of the purposes for which the funds were used was to buy a rug for the Home Ec dining room. Programs all year were in charge of a committee: Alma Krodel, Margie Miller, Lois Beuchler, and Patricia Luegers.

H. S. met with the physical ed instructor, Miss XVilhelmus, Oc- tober 17, 1940, and organized the hrst Jasper Girls' Athletic Association. The club got off to a very good start and at the end of the year it boasts the largest membership of any school club, having fifty members. The rules governing the new organization are included in the club constitution. Members meet weekly in the gymnasium or out of doors for an hour's activity of archery, hiking, volley ball, badminton, basketball, pingpong, or shuffle- board. To obtain finances the club sponsored a school dance. conducted a sale of VVildcat pins, and collected monthly dues. The money was used to purchase new equipment and awards. The awards were given club members who had scored 400 points. Points are calculated by the Point System of the club, a system worked out to keep the score of each member. Some of the Jasper C. A.,A. girls were guests at two play days held February 8 and April 5 at Huntingburg and VVashington respectively: while jasper was host at a Play Day. April 19. The day of games held here was attended by fifty-Five girls from six neighboring towns- Hnntingburg, Washiiigton, Holland, Petersburg, Owensville, and the Ferdinand Academy. The day's activities were in charge of numerous committees. At 12:00 o'clock luncheon was served in the high school basement. At 1:00 play resumed and continued until 3:00 at which time a short variety program was presented which climaxed a day of enjoyment. Gflmffa The Chorus and Glee Clubs presented the operetta ENCHANTED ISLE in two mati- nee and one evening performances November 11, 12 and 13 at the high school auditorium and Kunkek Hall respectively. The production was directed by Mr. Maurice Worland, at that time in charge of vocal music, and accompanied by Geraldine Fisher at the piano and a small orchestra, whose names are given below. The music of the operetta was based upon Chopin melodies arranged by Ira B. Wilson: while the story dealt with a visit of the composer, Chopin, to Mallorca, the enchanted isle in the year 1836. Setting and costuming suggested the atmosphere of a fishing village on the island. In addition to solo numbers by Elena and Ramon, the musical numbers included en- sembles' by village youths and maids and smugglers, a trio by Dorothy Stallman, Pauline Dosch, and Lila Lee Giesler, a quartet by Betty Kunkel, joan Parker, Betty Berger, and Betty Kremp, and instrumental music by the orchestra.

Miss Sonderman, the director, was assisted by stage manager, Dennis Critchlow: Ber- nard Vonderschmitt. business manager: and Richard Boehm, director of publicity. For entracte music the seniors are indebted to Mr. XYorland and the high school or- chestra. The cast given in full below, starred Eddie Schaaf as llarold, the unwilling bridegroom, and Mary Kathryn Berger as Joan Keeler, the accidental bride: but equally important mem- bers of the personnel were the romantic Minnie Aunt lllarian and NVilbur, the sleepy but- ler. lVhat happened when a marriage rehearsed by Harold but not with his prospective bride proved to be legal because Nliilbur, who Ol:l:lClF:lt6Il. was a notary public, made a hilarious and fast moving plot, especially when further complicated by the appearance of Harold's real fiancee and by Minnie's love of romance., The stage set was revamped and repainted by members of the senior class under the supervision of the custodian, Cyril Birge.

This year's party, held on May 12 at the Country Club, was no exception. In tune with the times was the patriotic motif carried out in taper and flower colors, in favors, programs, and general decorations.

' Rig, UM -U! u 1 in am 2 cqfzo 'zfa ,wgykf X I Bczigstffaff j VVhen the month of November, 1940, rolled around, some twenty odd loyal sons of Jasper High School had laid their best plans and were ready to step upon the hardwood to once again bring fame and glory to their Alma Mater. It didn't take long for the rest of the state to find that here was a ball team that was a ball team. Although lacking experience at first, the NVhizzing VVildcats, so-called because of the lightning' pace at which they struck of- fensively, improved rapidly and by the advent of the New Year were a smooth, well polished machine. Those who had doubted the Gold and Black crew's ability before sat up and took notice when Cabby O'Neil's boys captured the Holiday Tourney at Vincennes on New Year's Day. lt was then that it was whispered about that it was a State Championship for Jasper this year. And as the VVildcats continued to pile up victories, the whisper became more and more audible until by the time the Great Elimination was at hand it was a roar. But, as the poet. Burns, once said, The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agleyf' A band of husky Eskimos from Winslow politely upset the Jasper fan's pipe dreams and the VVildcats joined the other seven hundred and some teams on the side lines. After the uniforms had been neatly packed away for the summer and the boys had turn- ed their attentions into other channels, the statisticians got out their pencils and began to figure just what the Cats had done during the season. They found that the Goldmen had en- tered into twenty-four frays and had emerged victorious eighteen times. 835 times the score- board changed to indicate the VVildcats were on the march and on 657 occasions Jasper en- thusiasts watched the opponent's score rise. A comparison with last year's record shows that the Felines outdid their predecessors on the offensive by thirteen points in the same number of games. The G'Neilmen used a fast break, utilizing the amazing jumping ability of big Roman Pfeffer and the lightning speed of Roman Brosmer. -7559 ii Eff 5 J L' . X-. if N N Q ,. .

Cfowzf The annual crowning of the basketball queen took place just before the opening game, November 1. Anna Mae Kiefer, Senior, emerged as the students' choice over thirteen candidates in an election conducted on a point basis. Attendants of the queen were the six closest runners -up: Seniors, Rita Mae Schneider, Anna Marie Shurig, and lletty jean Krodelg Juniors, Ardella Birkle and Virginia Lee Merry: Freshman, Sarah Lukemeyer. The two tiny pages were Marlene and Jane Schneider. In the crowning ceremony the queen and her attendants entered to the strains of a march played by the band, walked the length of the gym, and ascended the elaborate throne chair where the queen was crowned by the NVildcat captain, Roman Pfeffer. From her hands he received the ball to be used in the opening game. Sponsored by the COMET staff and advisor, the coronation has been a yearly event since gay Golf began its second year as a minor sport in jasper lligh School when the Bosse club- bers met and defeated the local golfers at the Country Club on April 18. Although the gen- eral enthusiasm over the sport is not very great, the golfers themselves have prepared dili- gently for the current season. They hope to have a better year than 1940, in which they failed to register a victory and, since only one Senior is included in the lineup, are looking optimis- tically ahead to future seasons. 1937. The members of the squad include Senior liugeue Kunz, Juniors George Lukemeyer, Norb Alles, and Bob Gutgsellg Sophomores, Tony llabig, Calvin Zehr, and Don Kunkelg and Freshman. Dennis Pfister. The schedule includes: April 18, Bosse, here. April 25, Reitz, here. April 26, SIAC at Vincennes. April 28, Vincennes, there. May 12, there. May 12, Vincennes, here. May 24, State at Indianapolis. H 62.5.55 6212, As soon as Old Sol began to make more frequent visits, Student Manager Ray Pfeffer got out the uniforms, unsacked the bats, and the young aspirants for positions on the IHS baseball team began to work out the winter kinks. Because five of his regulars of 40 grad- uated last June, Coach Cabby O'Neil set out to rebuild the Wildcat nine. The remainder of the mainstays on Jasper's 1940 Southern Indiana Athletic Conference Champions, Roman Pfeffer, Ed Hoffman, Frank', Vonderschmidt, and Roman Brosmer, form the nucleus for the current squad. All of them are Seniors, however, three under classmen who were utility players last year have also gained regular berths. They are Eddie Rumbach, George Luke- meyer, and Paul Hoffman. Charlie Heichelbech and Lefty Stemle, Juniors, Jack Patton and Marty Rohleder, Sophomoresg and Freshman Leo -Ierger complete the roster. VVildcats, claimants to the mythical state championship for the past two years, are not so strong as the teams of 1939 and 19405 but due to a lack of seasonal players have had some trouble in hnding their batting eye. Roman Pfeffen, big, husky moundsman, is rounding out his fourth year on the pitching staff. During his first three seasons, he posted the amazing record of winning twenty-six out of twenty-seven games. Joining him on the staff this year is little Charlie Heichelbech, a rookie Hreballer who shows great promise. Ed Hoffman has again assumed the receiving duties while the rest of the infield is made up of Eddie Rum- bach, First base: Roman Brosmer, second base, Frank Vonderschmidt, short stop, and Paul Hoffman, third base. Lefty Stemle, George Lukemeyer, and the pitcher who is not working' on the mound. roam the outer gardens.

'w r,--,sr A 'mcg Rain and general bad weather greatly handicapped the track team in its attempts to prepare for the 1941 campaign. Approximately twenty-four students answered Coach Nip XVuchner's call for track men. VVith Jupiter Pluvius sending his March and April showers to an excessive degree these 24 aspirants did most of their early training in the gymnasium. As the initial test, a quadrangular affair at Corydon, drew near, Coach Wuchner cut his squad to eighteen and the track team began to take some definite form. Twelve of the thin- lies are veterans who had paced the cinder oval for J. H. S. in the previous season, and the rest of the squad consists of Freshmen and Sophomores who are working with an eye to- ward future seasons. The VVildcats, although coming in third, in the opening meet, April 12, gave warning of a good season ahead by scoring 31 points, more than they had been able to amass in any of their meets last year. Romie Pfeffer, the one man team had a field day, winning firsts in the 110 and 220 yard dashes, the board jump, and the high jump and heaving the shot for a second place distance. Harold Smith ran second in the 880 yard run and Maury Kuper took a third place in the mile event. Other members of the squad are: Roman Brosmer, Ivo Pfeffer, Kenny Kuper, Eddie Rumbach, jack Huber, George Lukemeyer, Claude Beiter, Bob Stallman, Eugene Bauer, Frank Renneisen, Marty Rohleder, Robert Schmidt, Bob Reuber, Paul Hoffman, and Charley lleichelbech.
