Pan Pals IQ4 Senior ffisfory One hundred sixteen bewildered and noisy Freshmen have sobered and set- tled into the dignified class of l945. Yes, we were taken through the mill, too. Only a survival of the fittest could endure those privately cooked-up initiations, and we had a whale of trouble opening those daw-gone lockers for the first few days. We can also recall how some of us melted into little green spots when we innocently walked into an upper-classroom lost and confused. We pulled some ter- rific boners, but after a week we all became acquainted, laughed at our silly mistakes and from then on things were on the up and up. Four boys were chosen as officers to steer us through our Freshman year. The maiority of the cast in The Sunbonnet Girl were Freshmen. With pride and school spirit we wore our black and gold Frosh caps. Three yell leaders were chosen from our ranks and filled the roll for four consecutive years. The boys produced dishes, lamps, and ash trays from tin cans and displayed their creations in the City Hall. The crowning point of the year was our hilarious Frosh party, in which Miss Cross coached some of the boys for a push-button program that concluded with the dumping of a bushel basket of colored con- fetti all over the place. Even then some of our boys looked pul-lenty prom- ising for a real Wildcat team. Alas! We have iust entered the philosophic stage. We became the wise sophomores. lWonder if Miss Sonderman had anything to do with thatll The first week, we had quite a time taking vengeance on the little Frosh. It wasn't long and election time rolled around. This time and the only time during our four years in High School, a girl represented the better half of the class. Naturally the other three officers were boys. lf you will refer to past annuals, you will find that the Sophies in their time were quite the thing. We were well represented in every type of activity. Two of our own reigned in the Queen's court and from then on our Kittens blossomed into the mighty Wildcats. That was the year we flashed around our super class pins. Ah - at last, an upper classman - We thought we were the stuff! Again four Junior boys took office. After a big razz-ma-tazz, we finally chose blue and white for class sweaters. The gala event of the year was the big Junior- Senior Prom at the Country Club. The Seniors in turn held a big weiner roast for us out at Calumet Lake. It was a grand year and we accomplished much. Now we have finally reached the height of our high school career. We soon learned the Seniors had quite a responsibility. lt was up to us to publish the Comet every two weeks, as well as the J yearbook. We took it on our shoulders to exhibit one of the finest Wildcat teams in the state. lEven Bosse says so.l We felt that unless we supervised clubs and school dances, we were failing our Alma Mater. Some of us represented our school in Commer- cial and Debating contests up at Terre Haute. Five Senior girls represented our class in the Queen's Court. Even one of the members of the faculty said we had a dynamic class. Indeed we feel that we have fulfilled our expectations during our high school career. We are sorry to leave, but we are confident that Our successors will fill the roll, iust as we have. lAdieul uzfziors OFFICERS O President . . PAUL LAMPERT Vice President . JOAN KUEBLER Secretary . CHARLENE MERDER Treasurer . . ROBERT STEFFEN Cl Bright and early lyawnl in September, 1944, a group of young people gathered outside the door of Jasper High School discussing various classes. They were no longer shy, yet they did not have the arrogance of Seniors. With much enthusiasm and interest in all school activities, this class chose four capable officers to steer them through. The greatest highlight of all Junior Class activities was their Junior-Senior Prom, May 'l6. The Prom was made possible through their coke sales at the CIS isfory home basketball games, the three act comedy One Mad Night , which was directed by Mr. Jack Leas, and also a school dance on November 29th, A wave of green swept through the school in the early spring when the appearance of the Junior sweater became the envy of both upper classmen as well as the rest of the student body. The school year ended with the holding of the Junior-Senior reception, the crowning event of the colorful career as Juniors.

The chorus participated in the Christmas Assembly program, the Spring Concert, and the Commencement Exercises. Their maior performance was the Christmas Cantata. 4 bm? lm Rlzyflzmfaczls The Rhythmlads, one of the best local dance aggregations ever to be assembled, has been responsible for all of the music for the school dances, eight of the ten members of the band being high school students. Behind the mellow sax of Stan Krempp, leader of the band, was a very solid sax section consisting of Joe Schwinghammer, Bob Weigel, and Jim Hofitman. The brass section was strictly on the hot side with Delbert Kiefner, Bob Schwinghammer, and Bill HoFfman filling out the ranks. The lads featured Ernie Berger on the Solovox , Carl Stuehrk on the bass violin and Heamer Sermersheim seated behind the drums. ln addition to all the school dances, the Rhythmlads have made appearances at regular Saturday night dances at Calumet Lake, played for convocation programs and at local Junior-Senior receptions. The theme song Moonlight Serenade will always be a reminder of the sweet, and mellow music of the Rhythmlads and a memory of the boys who made the music. Girls' AtMet1'c ssocia Hon President . . .

You should have seen all the green freshies. , The classes elected their officers on Tuesday, that was the 26th, and everyone was pleased to hear that Eldon Colton, Paul Lampert, Jim Fritch, and Charles Renneisen were chosen as the respective class Presidents. Gosh, I never told you about the Junior class party and the scary G.A.A. initiation, did I? There have been so many things doing I can hardly keep on the ball. For instance, Band tickets went on sale, Student Council officers were elected, and the first school dance was held land what a timell Oh yes, we had a free day while the teachers went to the Teachers' Institute. Some lucky kids went to a Press Convention at Franklin. Clubs were re-organized and every- thing's underway. The Senior girls got hooked into taking First Aid, but I'm not saying that it won't help. I wish you could have been here to see the cheer-leaders try out . It was loads of fun! We had a big pep rally downtown and all the kids were yelling their lungs out. The Juniors chose their class sweaters and the Seniors got to choose their class rings. At the Washington game they crowned the Queen and I wish you could have seen the attendants. lJust between you and me they looked like something that stepped out of Vogue l. man flag. I we're all so proud of itl. The Glee Club gave a Christmas Cantata and after they presented it Mr. Miller told us we could go home until January I, 1945. In January the Rhythmlads played at convocation and all the Senior girls swooned over Always . The Seniors also gave a Reversia party. You'll be interested to know that the Seniors had their pictures taken, and the results were very good. We had a magician here and he was really super. During February, we had quite a few interesting programs, Mr. Singh, from China, Mr. Reed, who talked to the Government classes, and a movie called '.'Personality and Charm . Of course the Wildcats were leaping ahead all this time and played at the Sectional, Regional, and Semi-Finals. March seemed so very far oFl but now that it's here I know you'Il want to hear about all the activities during the month. Oh! Father Green came to tell us about China. Now that Lent is over all of the kids went on a rampage. The Rhythmlads played for a convocation period again and Raymond Birk sang. All the kids got a big kick out of having their pictures taken for the annual. The G.A.A. presented a Dance Review with a HUNDRED beautiful girls! The last month of the school year was packed with surprises and loads of fun. On May l0th the school was given a holiday. The seniors took their semester tests earlier than the rest of the school and were given a few days oft before the end of school. Commencement was held on the 29th. School's over!

Paul Lampert, Junior Class president, crowned the King and Queen after which they led the Grand March. The customary addresses were made by the Junior and Senior class president, faculty member, and school board. Pat Sturm and Ann Kuebler, iuniors, sang a duet, Moonlight and Roses .

Boasting a record of twenty-four wins against two defeats, both at the hands of Bosse, these Fighting 'Cats broke all scoring records in Jasper's long cage history and will go down as one of the greatest basketball aggregations ever to down a Wildcat uniform. During the season and tournament play they averaged well over fifty points per game. While not only being demons on olifense, the O'Neillmen used a zone defense throughout the year which no team could seem to penetrate. They annexed both the Sectional and Regional titles and advanced to the final game of the semi-finals before losing to a red-hot Bosse five who later went on to take the state crown.

A great number of the fans who saw him play his first game as a starter back in 1942, predicted he would never make a ball player. By the end of the season, Willie had made good and was the best Sophomore center in the area. The next year again the experts predicted that since Wuchner no longer had Hoffman to depend on he would turn out to be a flop, and again Willie made them eat their words with another great season as center. Again this year he assured his position as Jasper's greatest center by amassing a total of 289 points for the season. He was also captain of the Wildcat five this year. JIM BERGER - Jimmy is another mainstay who is finishing his third year on the 'Cats and his second on the Varsity. Jimmy, always a dependable scorer, specialized in one-handers and long shots which he hit almost unerringly. A clever dribbler, Jimmy sparked the Wildcat offense with persistent driving when their fast break failed to produce results. Besides being an offensive threat Jimmy's defensive work was also exceptionally good. ' TOM HOFFMAN - Tom who paced the wildest scoring this year with 315 points and a career total of 515 points, is also a three year man, playing most of his 42 season on the bench as seventh man. He advanced to the first five in his Junior year. Tom was the kind of offensive man who could get the ball'off through five pairs of hands guarding him where you would swear there was no hole, and still make the basket. It seems as though the greater the number of men guarding him the greater was his accuracy. Tom was also a selection of the Indianapolis Star to participate with the lndiana All-Stars against the Kentucky team. BOB SIEBERT - Bob, the best looking player on the team, in more ways than one, has finished his third year with the 'Cats. Bob was the brains of the Jasper outfit this year besides being the nucleus of the Wildcat defense. Bob really earned his gold basketball in the Bosse game, hitting four straight longs when points really looked good. JERRY KUNKEL - Jerry, bouncing Wildcat forward, advanced to the Varsity in his Junior year and by his Senior year was a valued regular. More than one visiting sport writer has labeled him the best rebound man in the state. Besides being a strong defensive cog and an almost unstoppable rebound artist, Jerry sometimes lets loose with the otfensive, hitting one-handers and tip-ins. ALVA ELLIOTT - Alva, six-foot three reserve, has always been dependable in a pinch and has provided that little bit of height needed sometimes to give the Wildcats the edge under the basket. Alva is a fair but consistent scorer who can throw a one hander or long shot with all the ease of the smaller players. BOB SAKEL - Bob, whose exploits at Bedford last year will mark him forever in the memory of Jasper cage fans, is another Senior who came to the 'Cats in his Junior year. Bob, the lightest member of the squad scored five points and pulled a Jasper victory out of the fire at Bedford in the first three minutes he played in a Wildcat uniform. Bob is also a strong defensive man and can almost hit any kind of shot. H? QQ W s I ,, ' 5 .ke 9'-f ' K figrig 'Q g 5? if Ag , . Z, , KE , H2 in J K , Q . wx L Q x .

We're not sure who was more worn out after a ball game, the cheer-leaders or the team. For four years three of this quartet were tops in the field of arm- waving, iumping, and pul- ling hair, namely: Mary Jane Gosman, Peggy Fierst, Lenny Newman, Buddie KremPPf and Marvin Colton. Six years and six winners is the boast of Coach Leo Cabby O'Neill, who guides the destinies of the Jasper High School basket- ball and track teams. His smile has got a little bigger, his hair a little thinner, but he still hasn't lost any hope that he will produce a State Championship team one of these days. As feared as the Wildcats in their own field is Louis Nip Wucl1ner's Kittens whose records and trophies rank with their senior colleagues. Here there and every- where!!! Always seen rushing from school to the gym to wash towels or give a rub down, or shine basketballs. Definitely an asset and really a necessity to the '45 team - that's Peanut Renneisen!!! ffftfens Coach Nip Wuchner's little but mighty Kittens compiled a record never before equalled by a Jasper Second team. They were successful in fifteen of sixteen tilts, losing only to Central, and winning over such strong teams as Bosse and Bedford and thumping Huntingburg, Vincennes and Washington twice. The Kittens shared the second teams SIAC Title with Central of Evansville, each winning nine and losing one. Wuchner's squad was indeed small, for the only man on the team to top the six foot mark was Big Tom Bohnert. Captain Mickey Sermersheim lead the scoring attack with a ten point average per game. Bob Lukemeyer, Andy Hoffman, Jim Fritch and Bohnert made up the rest of the all sophomore starting five. The season's record follows: Jasper Washington Catholic 10 'Jasper Princeton 'Jasper Bedford 17 'Jasper Huntingburg 'Jasper Washington ll 'Jasper Bosse 'Jasper Huntingburg 25 'Central Jasper 'Jasper Vincennes 19 Jasper Ireland Jasper Tell City 24 'Jasper Washington 'Jasper Petersburg 23 Jasper' Birdseye 'Jasper Vincennes I2 'Jasper Boonville Total points - 534 Opp. points - 302 l ' l SIAC games Baselmfi Late in March Coach Cabby O'Neill's call for baseball was answered by some thirty-odd candidates who were eager to seek a position on the Wildcat nine. In spite of the transportation problems due to the war, five out-of-town games and six home games were carded. While the pitching staff lacked experience, Jim Fritch along with Leon Pfister, Alva Elliott and Harmon Woolsey will setup a serving defense against opposing batters. On the receiving end was veteran catcher, Mick Sermersheim assisted by John Jurgens and George Hoffman. The infield remains intact with Bumps Hoffman, Bob Sakel, Jim Menner and Bob Siebert, still available from last year's inner defense. ln the outfield O'NeiIl has only one hangover from last year, Tom Habig. Andy Hoffman and a pair of fresh- men, Clifty Mehrtens and Paul Kunkel, were viewed for an outer berth. April Stendal .

With a well balanced squad that hasn't been hit too hard by graduation, this spring sport should find the Jasper thinlies giving the competing tracksters plenty of trouble. Eighteen returning tracksters from last year's squad together with a half dozen Freshmen will comprise the Black and Gold entry. Four Seniors, eight Juniors, and six Sophomores will be on hand. ln the dashes, Jerry Kunkel, Jim Toole, Tom Jochim, and Mace Braun are expected to bring home plenty of ribbons. They will also compose the half-mile relay team. Alva Elliott, Kenny and Gene Gramelspacher, Eldon Colton, J. P. Salb, Bob Lukemeyer, Hilbert Ruckriegal, and Oscar Knies are scheduled to race the cinders in the mile and half-mile runs. ln the field events Ed Alles and Mort Hief were the pole vaulters, Willie Wuchner, Jerry Kunkel, and Ed Alles the high iumpers, and putting the shot were Tom Bohnert and Willie Wuchner. Jerry Kunkel and Bill Krodel specialized in the hurdles. April Boonville . There April Vincennes . There April Huntingburg . . . Here May S. l. A. C. lEvansvillel There May Vincennes ....
