S. student is this silhouette. A portrait with the oils of scholarship, industry, and patience heavily laid on, it is eharae teristic of those qualities that formed an essential part of our student life. The goals of wisdom, citizenship, and truth, our achieve- ments and failures as students-all these are personified in this, our first picture from . . . 'lille Palette Called Life A King And Queen In Maytime Oh! How they danced on the night of May 2 when Lucille Gutgsell and Eddie Stenftenagel reigned over the Junior-Senior Prom. It was May-Spring! There were formals - flowers - music! Need we say more? ome Sha!! Qeign Popular Queen Thelma The rare beauty of a queen was combined with the rarity of a Winter setting when lovely Thelma Vonderschmidt was crowned bas- ketball queen by Buzz Rumbach. lour Our Own Class Presidents Four classes-four chosen lead- ers! Presidents Tom Schutz, Duane Stemle, Mary Anne Barkley, and Gary Phillips personified the best qualities of leaders for today-and tomorrow! C ome LlSf five Que Student Council Ufficers To serve as the link between the administration and the student body was the goal of the Student Council and its officers: President Tom Schutzg Vice-President, Bill Hedingerg Secretary, Ed Zehrg and Treasurer, Mary Kunkler. The cross :ind kneeling students are indicative of that golden thread that is interwoven into our livesg the thread that is 21 part of life itself--religion. As we Studied and worked, so did we worship. Ever gruided hy the principles of Christianity, we realized that our every accomplishment could he zitlribiiiefl to these principles, and our every lnilingx to El departure from them. This faith in The Infinite turned the drab blots of our existence into the glowing' colors of reality-made life worth living. Mornenlx For Wf'zrslo1ip One healthy mind l a wholesoni e curiosity industry c laxity T a high school education. This was the formula that we attempted to follow throughout our high school flays. VVhether it was testing the strength of HCL, analyzing' a Sonnet, or measuring a hem stitch, there was work to be flone, and we carriecl out our assignments as faithfully as adolescent whims would allow. Only through work could we reap the golden grain of the harvest of knowledge. Only through Work could we learn the satisfaction of accomplishment. Moments For Wo1'l2 SEVGX1 Superintendent- Bernard Gallagher School Board- Claude Grarnelspacher O. A. Kremp Orville Elliott l Jasper School Administration l These five men and our teachers were responsible for our four vears in Jasper High School. May we the members of the class of 1950 and all students who follow, extend the rays of learning which we have learned to all those with whom We come in contact. May our actions speak louder than our mere words when We say thank you. Principal-Claude Miller eight kr They Pointed The Way With these little lines we hope you'll remember The teachers who taught you in May and September. We'll remember Mr. Mcurer for his tenor voice, And how Mr. Hughey had wood for his choice. Miss Vollmer. the nurse, took care of the sick, And Miss Wilhelmus knew how to make typerwiters click. Miss Cassidy was in charge of the Eng- lish class, And Miss Litten prepared a Workout for every lass. To her classes Miss Glazner gave higher ideals, And Miss Greger took care of the senior's appeals. Mr. Rowekamp's motto was If I can just make them think, And Mr. Cathcart would add a long- column in a wink. Mr. Schneider worked for the better- ment of the school, And Miss Mcnonna had a voice like a jewel. Nip took care of the Kittens, Miss Thompson worked in art, Mr. Nixon helped us get our chemical start, To Mr. Eckels goes our lhanks for the athletic management And to Mr. Lcas we paid our library book rent. Mr. Newton taught all the business sub- jects And Mr. Hunefeld had charge of the biology projects. Cabby gets a salute from us all For building characters and teaching basketball. To Miss Diemer goes credit for the J , She worked and planned for it every day. Mr. Miller was our principal all the way through, What more can we say except thanks- thank you! nine To Aching Muscles l And Fiery Debates The mainspring in the Wheel of school life was the class-a unit of students learning together! Guided and directed we learned the meaning of many things-even used muscles that had rested for years! 1011 To H2 S04 And Apple Pie What is so rare as the sweet perfume concocted by student chemists-indeed, what is so rare as the reaction of knowledge upon the mind of a student? Who knows the depth of the patch which learning creates in the mind? eleven twelve Qzacluaiion - - The Star We Reached For Four Years Ago Majestic strains of music, the flurry of caps and gowns, diplomas, and handshakes, and the big moment has arrived-graduation! Four long years of schooling now seem to have flown swiftly by in the parade of time. Now as we look back we can appreciate the work and play, the achievements and failures, the laughter and sadness that have been a close part of our high school days. So we dedicate this Senior profile, etched in memories of our school experiences, to the class of 1950. This is the class that shall meet the great test-the test of life-armed with the cribs of what they have learned of patience, wisdom, fortitude and faith. Class Officers . Peeping through the doorway of life are Tom Schutz, President, Buzz Rumbach, Vice-President, and Bob Hedinger, Secre- tary-Treasurer. thirteen GLORIA ADAMS May she fly through the air-her heart always in the clouds.

Life Fully three days have passed since newspaper owner Robert Nalin-the energetic ty- coon who rose from a paper carrier to owner of one of the largest newspapers in the country -has run the brightly colored ad proclaiming to all that the world famous Hedinger Bros. circus was coming to town. With a flourish of trumpets and a flip of his gold-tipped cane, Master of Ceremonies Tom Schutz leads the band of merry-makers down the streets. Here they come amid the noise and confusion of circus parade atmosphere, winding their way through the crowded streets to the far side of town where the plastic tent, designed by architects Byrd and Hochgesang, awaits them. Here is the roving reporter, Jack Jenkins, to keep you posted on the parade and the festivities of the day. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's a beautiful day and one that promises not to be without excitement. Standing at our right here, is Mayor Paul Rumbach who officially welcomed the circus to town a few moments ago by presenting the owners of the circus with the key to the city. As you know, we were to have the well-known home economist as our guest today, the former Betty Rowekamp. However, one of her twelve children was unexpectedly caught in the automatic diapering machine recently presented to her by inventor Charles Witcher. Due to that unfortunate accident she will not be with us today. B But back to the circus! Passing the reviewing stand right now are the lumbering elephants with their trainer Basil Klern. How charming the animals look in their pink 'caf- feta coats sewed by nimble-fingered Mary Mae Vonderheide-and so do the lovely girls riding on their backs. Foremost of these is Jeanne Parker, queen of the pachyderms, with her attendants Betty Jones, Sally Sermersheim, Betty Lampert, and Mary Kunkler. Next come the animals cages, brightly shining with a fresh coat of gilt, and driven by Ed Bred- hold, Clarence Fleck, and Don Jurgens. twenty-lour Here comes a snappy group! It's the circus band under the direction of that musician Who gained fame as a tamborine soloist with the Salvation Army Band-Ed Rees. Also among this group are those silver-lipped trumpeteers James Luegers and Don Gutzweiler. Next in line is Rich Jahn, the celebrated driver who drives his midget auto around the in- side walls of an oil barrel three times daily--for one thin dime. Just behind him is Marth Koch who last year was the first woman to win the Indianapolis Speedway. Following this maiden are those daredevils of the high wire-Alfred, Dennis, and Paul Kreilein, followed by Edwin and Edwina Burger, the Siamese twins. And now, ladies and gentlemen! Here comes that fearless lion trainer just back from the Wilds of Africa-Fred Beckman. His assistants, Robert Kruger and Dennis Kraft, are trying desperately to keep the lions within their cages. The typical Italian with his hurdy- gurdy is Ed Stenftenagel. James Troxler is replacing the hurdy-gurdy's monkey this after- noon. I understand the poor beast went mad trying to imitate humans. Ronnie Heim was originally scheduled to fill the gap, but he was- ah -- late Cagainj. Next in line is that mighty little man, the daredevil of the circus, Tom Fritz, who performs the unbelievable feat of diving into a spoonful of water from the top of the tent. Following him are Jerry Horney and Marv Hopf who have made a fortune selling pink lemonade-they got their secret formula from a special recipe at Ferdinand. No circus is complete without the side show attractions, and here they are: Wif Haas, the strong man, Rose Lee Wibbles, the fire-eater, Luscious Lucille Gutgsell, the lady wrestler and her partner, Bev Hallerg magician Chester Blackhat Gutzweilerg and those fiery-tempered sword swallowers Rose Ann Hoffman and Eileen Schmidt. There are lovely dancing girls from the Orient-Shirley Labhart, Eleanor Seng, Thelma Vonderschmidt, Betty Heeke, and Joanne Fromme. Norma Hudson, Helen Klee, Delma Miller, Imogene Schnell, Gertrude Steffen, and Wilma Mehne dash by on prancing white ponies. Behind them comes a tweed convertible with some special guests. They are Bettye Schneider, recently appointed envoy to Bermuda. This is the same Miss Schneider who made headlines some years ago by burning down Stephens College with a careless match. Riding with her is Marilou Lottes, famed columnist, who replaced Hedda Hopper after her untimely death. Also in the car are congressmen Don Habig, Frank Berg, and Robert Brosmer. Next comes the Klondike Chorus Girls-Ramona Allen, Gloria Adams, Wilma Hurst, Wilma Weisman, and Beatrice Seger. John Bohnert is here with his clowns. So are jugglers Ruth, Maurice, and Georg- ann Buechlein. Archie Tretter follows with his wild West show. Among this troupe are such well-known riders as Leon Lehmkuhler, Irma Fleck, Jim Sonderman, Irene Giesler, Agnes Gish, Edwin Prechtel, and Marcus Schepers. Then, of course, there is the star rider, Peggy Calamity Jane Pfau. Next in line are Don Sermersheim, Ruth Schuetter, Wilfred Merkel, William Schroeder, and Dolores Vonderheide riding on giraffes. Behind these come Joan Uebelhor, the circus artist, who is still painting stripes on one of the zebras. Trailing the entire parade is nurse Shirley Hoffman, ready to give first aid to anyone overcome by the excitement of the circus parade. Slowly the group winds out of sight-they trail off into the distance. Here in the circus are a varied crew, but whatever path they have chosen to follow, this roving re- porter is sure they will make their mark in the circus called life. twenty-five T CN Qafteno i - If ptus .lllpay All Work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Acting upon this axiom, we were sure to see that this was not the plight of the J. H. S. student. Indeed We worked as herd at play as We did at our studies --even harder! This, then, is a pcitrait tainted in the gay, carefree colors of happy youth. We hed our clubs ,our dances and parties, and all the various other activities that Were es vital in our social education as the pages between t'ae covers of our textbooks. Here is another picture from the palle'te of the Old Master Painter-a. picture reminiscent of our many gocd times! Who's Who . . . among' J. H .S. stu- dents by popular vote. Those honored are Buzz Rumbaeh, Thelma Von- derschmidt, Tom Schutz, Shirley Sermersheim, Du- ane Stemle, Elizabeth Hochgesang, Ed Zehr, Mary Anne Barkley, Jim Kress, Marv Hackman, John Barkley, Gary Phil- lips, and Buddy Witte. twenty-seven Student Council Row14'l'.

Guided by its sponsor, Mr. Schneider, the Council served as the voice of the student body. The officers of the group were Tom Schutz, President, Bill Hedinger, Vice-Presidentg Edgar Zehr, Secretaryg and Mary Kunkler, Treas- urer. T f 'f FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA Have you ever heard the click! click! click! of typewriters as you wandered down the halls? Or don't you ever roam past room 209 If you have heard this sound, rest assured that the rhythmical music of clicking keys is the theme song of this busy group-a group of girls busy at the task of becoming the best in the secretarial field' MUSIC APPRECIATION Are you a music lover? Then you would have loved the Music Appreciation group and their various activities! Under the direction of Mr. Meurer, these students learned the difference between Spike Jones and Bethhoven-they even learned to appreciate both types of music at the right time and in the right place. DEBATE CLUB Four members-and just enough for a lively discussion! When Jim Schubert and Jim Kress were pitted against Duane Stemle and Edgar Zehr there was bound to be action of some sort-and this was the perfect place for students with a knack for talking! Yes, the Jasper students debated with groups from various other schools, and two of the group, Duane Stemle and Jim Schubert, took part in the American Legion Oratorical Contest. twenty-nine To Preserve Each Memory In The Camera of Our Hearts POYS HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Oh! What a mess! That phrase often described the cooking lab- oratory after the cooking cuties had tried their hand in the gentle art of cooking! But somehow it wasn't always gentle for them! We often wonder if they were learning to cook-fudge that is-to ease that ten o'clock hungry feeling or to impress some girl with their powers. Anyone like to tell us the answer? CAMERA CLUB To have seen a student making strange gestures in order to amuse another student wasn't too unusual a sight in Jasper High School. But in certain cases the unusual gestures were planned so that Camera Club members could catch students in rare and different poses. Plotting and planning for the sake of better student photog- raphy was the aim of officers Imogene Schnell, Presidentg Eileen Schmidt, Vice-Presidentg and Agnes Gish, Secretary-Treasurer. GIRLS HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The homes of tomorrow will be better ones because of the activities of this group of Jasper students. Under the direction of Miss Greger, the girls in the Home Ec Club learned to cook, sew, plan, and decorate in the modern way. Just wait and see how this training will help them in all of the tomorrows that are before them. OUTDOOR CLUB What is so rare as a day in June? -or a beautiful day in any other month of the year, for that matter? These nature lovers nature boys of Jasper -were directed in the study of the great out-of-doors by Mr. Eckels and Gabby O'Neil1. What could have been better than a club Whose aim it was to teach boys the blessings of hiking and fishing, walking and wondering about the world in which they lived?

Miss Litten was the sergeant for the corps of feminine athletes who loved the vigor and energy of participating in sports. No longer were they merely spectatorsg in the G. A. A. they could also feel the pull of muscles, the warmth of hard exertion. Oh, yes, no yearbook would be complete without mention of the aching backs and legs that limped around the school after G. A. A. sessions! HISTORIANS CLUB Would you like to buy a program? Such was the byword of the members of the Historians Club at every home basketball game throughout the season. Loyal basketball fans and energetic workers belonged to this group, for it took a large measure of loyalty and energy to plan, prepare, and sell Wildcat programs throughout the entire net season. PRESS CLUB Members of the Press Club were staff members of the Comet and the J -and upon these two publications the club members turned their energies during each session of the Press Club. Discussing the principles of good journalistic style was also a portion of many of the meetings. The editor of the Comet also served as President of this group while the Secretary of the club was Edna Knust. At the head of the student journalists was Miss Diemer. INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB To plan! To glue! To sand! To the tune of nail and hammer these eager beavers of the wood-working World sought to master the art of working with their hands with wood! Their master was the energetic Mr. Hughey who conveyed to them his vast store of knowledge concerning machines and Wood. thirty-three To Guide Our Lives On This Highway Of Life FECHNICAL CRE W Will we see the movie today ? Such was the plea of many stu- dents on many days of the school year. 'And to the members of the technical crew, headed by Mr. Hunefeld, we were often grateful for moments spent out of class-moments devoted to visual educa- tion. These were the boys who mastered hte intricacies of the projector, and thereby introduced us to Julius Caesar, Heidi, and Treasure Island. SAFE AND SANE DRIVERS ' We grant that theseifiends may look safe in the adjoining but we won't dare say anything in defense of their sanity! photo, Your photographer decided this must have been a moment of relaxation before they accepted the responsibilities of driving-driving as though they realized that their lives and the lives of others were in their keeping. GLEE CLUB Where there is music, there too will you find happiness! In the swelling hearts and minds of these girls, we found their true devotion to the beauty of music-and that beauty was transformed into the very songs that they sang. Under the direction of their talented maistro, Miss Rosinaullflenonna, the girls' glee club appeared in many programs and contests throughout the school yearg and long after the memory of certain phases of school life will have passed away, the memory of beautiful music, of girls lifting their voices in song, will remain. A boys' glee club was also formed during the second semester, and this group was under the direction of Mr. Hal Meurer. There the swelling tones of the baritone combined with the mellow notes of the tenor to produce another portion of Jasper musical' magic. . A thirty-four Teelmicul Crew L. Heif, Mr. Hunefelcl. D.

Betty Rowekamp, the editor of the J was assisted by associate editors, Tom Schutz and Jack Jenkins. Staff writers were Mary Anne Barkley and Shirley Sermersheing snapshot editors were Rose Ann Hoffman, Mary Alice Gramelspacher, Susie Bohnert, and Norma Giesler. The business staff included Bettye Schneider, manager, and Richard Jahn, Eddie Rees, Carma Wilson, and Mary White. Sponsor of the J was Miss Diemer. thirty-six ,m.,, ..,,.W a..N,, A by Double, Double, Toilv and Ink Comets Vanished in a Wink Names were news and though we had an ample supply of names, we lacked an ample supply of money to make frequent publication a reality. They say too that absence makes the heart grow fonder so perhaps that is Why the six issues of the Comet were greeted so enthusiastically whenever they appeared. Editor of the Comet was Elizabeth Hochgesang. Other staff members included Marilou Lottes, .lack Jenkins, Shirley Mehringer, Carol Welp, Gerry Gutzweiler, Jerry Clark, Ed Zehr, Duane Stemle, Jim Schubert, Don Bomolaski, Mary Ann Dudine, Ed Rees, Shirley Hoffman, Sue Hopf, Leon Lehmkuhler, Rosie Berg, Catherine Hoffman, Phyllis Hoffman, Marie Lampert, Marg Ann Boeglin, Janice Dischinger, Beatrice Seger, Anna Miller, and Delma Miller. Adviser for the Comet was Miss Diemer. thirty-seven 1. . S. Musical Masters The Jasper concert band, composed entirely of high school students, delighted many audiences during the school year. Under the direction oi' Mr. lVIeurer, the forty-four musicians appeared and performed in school assemblies, civic functions, and over station WITZ. Soloists from the group appeared in the district and state music contests, while the entire band participated in spring' band contests and the music festival held in Vincennes on May 5. thirty-eight Beauties With Batons Drum major Rosie Berg and twirlers Frieda Allen and Sue Jane Hopf displayed grace and skill with batons. As We Go Marching Along The Jasper band marched along -directly into the hearts and memories of all those who heard their songs and marches! An enjoyable portion of every Wildcat home game was the display of musical talent by the Jasper marching band. Skill and precision were evident in every performance, and the round of applause received by the band was ample proof of the enjoyment given to the audience by the music workers of Jasper! thirty-nine Walking In A Winter Wonderland Midst the splendor of sparkling snowflakes and ice-blue evergreens, popular Thelma Vonderschmidt was crowned the 1949-1950 basketball queen by co-captain Buzz Rumbach. The coronation took place on the night of December sixteenth preceding a smashing victory over the Reitz Panthers. Shirley Hoffman was the queen's maid of honor while the members of her court included Lucille Gutgsell, Mary Alice Gramelspacher, Carma Wilson, Mary Anne Barkley, Eunice Tretter, and Carol Hoffman. Flower girls were Sue Ann Brelage and Karen Egg, While Sandy Ripple and Allen Tredway were pages. forty J-J-JAS - P-P-PER! FIGHT! Varsity cheerleaders Rich Jahn, Shirley Sermersheim, Carma Wilson, Margaret O'Neill, and Jerry Bohnert displayed the enthusiasm of Jasper fans at every game throughout the season. Blood, Sweat, and Cheers To nine loyal Jaspreites belongs much of the credit for aching throats after Wildcat and Kitten games. During the course of the season we marveled at their never-ending supply of energy and pep. Now We are able to salute their lively devotion to the Wildcats and the Kittens-devotion which made them put their hearts into every cheer! FIGHT! KITTENS! FIGHT! What could possibly match the spirit of the Kitten cheerleaders - the spirit of Susie Bohnert, Carol Hoffman, Catherine Hoff- man, and Mary White? forty-one Iortylwo ,Pay U friday Cwlzis game Q Sports minded Jasper High School could not be Without this im- portant poltrait, for here is the symbol of our athletic milestones. 'i'OfHDOl'Cfl with cheers and shouts and prayers, this is the gusty picture of our many victories. Ours was a great challenge, bequeathed us by former athletes, to play and play the game well. Yet we bore the challenge in typical J. H. S. spirit, ch-inlzing a toast to this year's successful season from the goblet of good sportsmanship in the blood of many fallen and conquered foes! 'Cats Top Lions Co-captain Buzz Rumbach, jump- ing high into Jasper's hall of basketball fame, opened the season against the Loogootee Lions. forty-three ,Effie Tom Schulz The blond bombshell was :nown throughout the state for iis all around basketball ability. ltreaking down the floor Tom mossessed a seemingly endless upply of energy. Dave's first year as a regular ni the VVildcats proved to be 'ery successful. He was espec- ally valuable in setting up plays nd getting the ball out for the ast break. llilyi- ikl'H1lk'l lluzz Rlllllilllidl Buzz was probably one of the most highly rated pivot men in the state. He consistently out- jumped and out-foxed his oppon- ents. Outstanding faking ability and uncanny accuracy were his! Despite his small size, Jerry was one of the key men on this year's squad. He excelled in crowd-pleasing defensive antics and in clever, hard-driving drib- bling. Jerry lluls lid Stenl'teuae'el A dead eye from long range and accuracy on difficult hook shots made Eddie the high point man of the year. Aside from his scoring ability, he was also a polished, effective forward. At 6' 1'fQ Ed was the tallest member of the squad. Serving' during the year as a valuable first line replacement, Ed ex- celled in rebound work. lfmlyuuii' Xe-hr N.. -5 lluzine Stenn' After getting a late start be- ause of illness, Snoop returned o become one of Cabby's re- erves. He alternated at center and forward and was an import- ,nt rebound man. John spent most of the season slaying with the Kittens. His ong, game-winning, two-hander rom way out in the waning sec- inds of the Kitten-Hunter tussle vill never be forgotten. .lohn llziliig , D , x u llllort ltohli-der Although only a Sophomore, lVlort's value to this year's team is unquestioned. Whether per- forming as a starter or a reserve, his play was always reliable. Laffy was a hard-working, energetic player who possessed a keen shooting eye. His quick wit must have been instrumental in the fine team spirit displayed by the 1950 Wildcats. Leon lielnnlxuehler l1yl'tl Bill saw action mostly in the role of a reserve guard. His accuracy from long range and deceptive dribbling did much to strengthen the team's reserve power. Bernie didn't see much action during his net season, but his sharpshooting will undoubtedly be of value to the '50-'51 Cats- especially his fine one hand shot. l'it'I'lllt' Qill'Slt'l' SPEA, ction is thc keynote uf victory! Ami action is exactly what thc Wilflczits grzlvc us in the-ir every CllC0l,lllti'l' during the season. Little wumle-i' fans wcrc so enthusiastic with such VVilClcats-fighting VVild- czils-.lzispc-i' Wildcats! So Proudly We Hail The 1949-1950 edition of the ferocious feline-s was another in the line of superior teams produced by Coach Cabby O'Neill. As the defending state champions, the Wildcats had a tremendous respon- sibility to fill. They were respected and feared throughout the state because of their lightning fast break and clever zone defense. An nndaunted spirit and ever hopeful Will to Win were manifested by the 'Cats especially when the chips were down. We have only proud admiration and sincere congratulations for this year's team-a team which practiced faithfully to become a Well oiled, smooth machine which heaped many honors upon Jasper and Jasper High School. forty-seven lTerrific Tom Schutz John Thomas Schutz, better known as Tom, has won for himself a place among the other all-around illustrious athletes of Jasper High School. As a member of the 1949 state championship team and as co-captain of the 1950 Wildcats, Tom's aggressive style of play and his long, looping' shots from the backcourt have evoked praise and admiration from all basket- ball fans. His hard-fighting basketball ability can clearly be seen 'by' a glance at the season's record book where a total of 209 points speaks for his ability and talent. Tom, the all-around athlete, also participated in other J. H. S. major sports: and if hi basketball skill could be surpassed, Tom would do just that in the field of baseball where he has served as a fiery shortstop. Blond hair and a winning smile are but two of the reasons for his popularity-popularity which elected him senior class president and president of the Student Council. forty-eight reception A champion in 1949, Paul Buzz Rumbach also proved by his actions in 1950 that he was a basketball player of championship caliber. His amazing leaps into the air and his always there at the right time playing have made him one of the most valuable players in Jasper basketball history. Indeed, his fame as a pivot man and excellent rebounder has spread throughout Hoosier net circles. His total of 203 points for the season speaks for itself, in addition to the fact that he was Jasper's high point man during the sectional. His track abilities included broad jumping, low hurdles, shot put, and the one-half mile relay. Proof of his interest and excellence in many things was his of the Rottet Award, an annual award given to the Scout of out- standing character and achievement. The smile he wears in the accompanying picture was the traditional sign of his friendliness--friendliness that elected him class vice-president during his fresh- man and senior years. Battling Buzz Rumbach forty-nine Cabby Briefs The 'Cats After the never say diel' team of 1949, all of Indiana learned never to underestimate the power of a Wildcat team. And this team of 1950 was no exception to the rule! Guided by the basketball skill of its co-captains, Buzz Rumbach and Tom Schutz, the Wildcats carved for themselves a niche in the hearts of all Jasper fans. Seniors Eddie Stanftenagel, Bill Byrd, and Leon Lehmkuhler and underclass- men Dave Krodel, Jerry Huls, Mort Rohleder, Edgar Zehr, Duane Stemle, John Habig, and Bernie Gielser produced victory after victory -victory that resulted from long hours of strenuous practice and a determination to Win. fifty Crusoe Lost His Friday The Wildcats Found Him Robinson Crusoe had his man Fri- day -and so did the Wildcats in the person of their student manager, John Bohnert! Who could have been more loyal, more faithful, more dependable? VVho took greater interest in the Wild- cats and in the things needed by the team '? Yes, Johnny Bohnert was eer- tainly the modern counterpart of the tried and true follower of Robinson Crusoe!

Loud shouts and cheers marked Kitten and Freshman contests just as definitely as they were a part of the Wildcats games. There was never a dull moment, as these future Wildcats learned the lessons of lmasketliall-Alessons to thrill Jasper fans in all of the tomorrows that are to come. iiity-four Though the trail was a hot and strenuous one nothing could flaunt the spirit of the track and cross country teams. They raced to the finish, raced to victory, raced to bring new laurels and honors to Jasper High School. And they accomplished all these things in this portion of the race of high school life! CROSS COUNTRY Won- ders included C. Lannon, W. Perrin, D. Collins, E. Stenf- tenagel, J. Gieslor, B. Byrd, C. Buechlein, L. Lehmkuhler, T. Schutz, and R. Berg.

Nip VVuchner was at the head of this group of sportsmen. fifty-five Superlative Senior Sportsmen Jasper High School will long remember the feats of her 1950 senior sportsmen-especially the accomplishment of the era in Jesper net circles. There can be little sadness in graduation when the spirit of these sportsmen will live on after they leave the portals of school, for how could we ever forget what they have done and what they have meant to Jasper sports? There will be no forgetting Where greatness is concerned! filly-six A Jasper Casey at the batv Springtime means many things, but in the heart of the American boy it definitely means baseball. Springtime, then, brought baseball training to Jasper-long hours of practice in preparation for the first game of the season. Then it was a march to victory in game after game for Coach Joe Rowekamp and players T. Schutz, M. Hopf, M. Rohleder, J. Clark, L. Lehmkuhler, J. Kress, D. Stemle, D. Krodel, R. Brosmer, and J.

Here is the picture that might Well be framed in sweat and tears, dedicated to the apple-polishing underctlassmen. These were the students who most frequently incurred the Wrath of teachers, who most frequently inhabited the detention room, and in sliorl, who had the roughest time of it. Yet how often were they the backbone of the school? Life would have been dull indeed, had it not been for these, our beloved underclassmen! So here's to themg may their future always be at bright one.

The goal of dignity is sighted in the graduation of the class of 1950, but lest We forget that to be seniors requires that we act like seniors, the Old Master Painter reminds us: To thy ownself be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false To any man. sixty liooni 1.1 Row!-E.

I've dabbledq in seniors, sophomores, too, Juniors and freshmen I've painted for youg In colors as bright as the sun of each day, I've painted your mem'ries in my very best Way. Mem'ries of beauty, mem'ries of joy- Beautiful music between girl and boyg Smiles, just a smile of friendship in passing Are diamond-like threads in my mem'ry so lasting! i sixty-seven For the greatest thing from this palette of mine Is the beauty of friendship, loyal and fine. I smile as I painted your days in each class, Your frenzied attempt to work and to passg A history question, a problem in trig Were simple to solve, like dancing a jig. You translated Spanish, it seemed quite a chore, But somehow each lesson always brought more. A biology bug or a typing room pest, I'll always remember above all the rest. sixty-eight sixty-mme JG?
