Our first class party was held in the little gym, Friday, November 93 after a jolly time we attended a basketball game. Our class even at this early stage shows much talent. Some of us have excellent scholastic abilityg fa few seem to have poetic leanings.j Representatives of our class have been active in the high school operetta, intra-mural athletics, Treble Clef Club. band, and orchestra. XVe even have a classmate with the mangled hair-do of 11 maestro, Sparky, of course. After becoming acclimated ourselves, we served as worldly wise guides for our new mid-term arrivals from the Departmental Building. We are all looking forward to next year, and hope that as freshmen, Qnot too greenj, we can do our bit in Kendallville High School. -Gunilda Gutstein. Martha Ellen Engle. Page Nine Z . . ,-.

On Monday, the thirtieth of September, in the year of 1940, we entered the Kendall- ville High School, coming from the eighth grade of the city school, from the Lutheran School, XVayne Center, Jefferson Township, and South Milford Schools. On the first roll call eighty-live freshmen responded, being fresh in mind and eager to learn all that would be of value to us. At the first class meeting we elected Phil Appleman, presidentg Alice Berry, vice- presidcntg and Howard Treesh, sceretary-treasurer, XVe selected old rose and gray for our class colors, the sweet pea for class flower, and Speech is silverg silence is golden for the class motto. XVe may have started late this year, but by hard work we expect soon to overcome this handicap. Already many members of the class have shown an inclination toward good scholarship and rank with the best in the school, Puge Tru HE FIRST LAP Vivian Xlcbiffin, Nlury, Vlr.

In extra-curricular activities our class hasnit had time to show its true worth. The experience that many boys have had from the class team coached by Mr. Penrod and the second team coached by Mr. Guymon will prove of great value so that we should make a good showing in the next years. With such athletes as Houck, Mory, Muesing. Sauer, Appleman, Hinkley, Mason, Eddy Miller, Treesh, and Whitson, we should help to con- tribute to the basketball, baseball, and track teams of the future. Edith Cripe is an ex- cellent pianist for the High School Trio and frequently accompanies our artists on other occasions. Vivian McGiftin and Phil Appleman have received much praise for their singing and acting in the operetta. Our class immensely enjoyed their first party held October 30 on a fine fall evening. Three hay wagons drawn by tractors took us all over town. Dressed in old clothes, we entertained ourselves and many on-lookers by singing and yelling until time for eats which we enjoyed in the school building. This was followed by dances and games. NVe are now looking forward to a second party promised us. Our class participated in the Indoor Fair. We checked the cloaks and sold eokes and pop. Our proceeds ranked with the highest. Altogether, we have had a most wonderful and prosperous year under the guidance of our sponsor, Mr. Penrod, and we hope to have three more years as good as our first. -Howard Treesh.

The program following was made up of an original take-off on Scenes in American History starting with the Pilgrims and coming down to the present day. Door prizes were won by Beverly Engle and Robert Owen. A going-away gift was presented to Glema Lauer who moved to Rome City. Our whole class concentrated on building bigger and better basketball players for the future. We are well represented with six from our class on the first squad. The drum-majorettes, Sally Soboslay and Patty Whitford, were chosen from our class. We're all anticipating two bigger and better years in K. H. S. yet to come. Page Thirteen Connie Kline, Secretary.

In order to start out right in our new surroundings. we selected the fol- lowing class officers: Rex Gilliland, presidentg Fred MCXY'hinney, vice-president: Lynn Becker. secretary-treasurerg Mr. Penrod, sponsor. On February 4, we held our class party in the little gvin. The following year we entered the freshman class with an increased number of students .ind with .1 feeling of even more importance than before. Our officers were: Umar Xlountz, president: Bill Parker, vice-president: Betty Yfible, secretary-treasurer: Mr. Penrod. sponsor. Our class colors were green and silver. The dandelion was chosen as our class flower. Our freshman party, a potluck supper, was held January 27. in the little gym. Three movie shorts furnished the entertainment. After the party everyone attended the Kendallville-Garrett basketball game. From green freshman to silly sophomores! How good it felt to be no longer the rir-t graders in high school. The officers chosen to direct our activities were: Fred Mc- XVhinnev. presidentg Jeanette Herrick, vice-presidentg Jeanne Beights secretary-treasurer: Miss Vfills, sponsor.

On january 12 nearly all of our class, 116 strong, the largest in high school, enjoyed a chili supper in the little gym. A program was arranged by a party Committee. Dancing was enjoyed by all. After the party we attended the basket- ball game. This our junior year has been the IHOSE successful of any. The officers this year are: Rex Gilliland, presidentg Ben Antle, vice-presidentg Bill Parker, secretary-treasurer3 Miss J Iage, sponsor. In selecting our president we held a convention in the auditorium similar to the national Convention. The members were divided into states and voted according- ly. Demonstrations were made by the various candidates. Our president was elected on the third ballot. Also this year we Chose our class rings, and we feel that our selection was very good. Apron String Revoltf' our class play, was a decided success. We owe a great deal to Miss Robertson for her line directing and to the cast and helpers for their splendid part in the operetta, The Count and The Coed. On February 21, we enjoyed a George Wlashington party in the little gym. Dancing and special numbers provided entertainment for the evening. Refreshments were served. The climax of our junior year will be the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Page Fiflcen -Bill Parker. LITERARY .... THE PENI FRIED CHICKEN Iiried chicken is my favorite, So golden brown, So savory a smell! Delicious drumstciks, Scrumptious white-meat, And a flavor all its own. -Fred Haskins, jr. APRIL FOOL My friend and I were walking to school, XVe forgot that it was April Fool. By a tree, on the ground Lay a purse, big, fat, and round. I would have picked it up But we heard the barking of a pup. XY'e looked. Around the tree There poked three noses eagerly, NVe put our heads into the air And said it really wasn't fair! THE POT O' GOLD It was Thursday night in the Jones's home, And all were sitting at the radio, young and old. It was seven o'clockg but one alone Was sitting at the telephone, XVaiting, waiting for the golden call, the Pot O' Cold. They had the music of Horace Heidt's band, And everyone showed .1 manner bold. Everything was just dandy and grand And all Fingers were crossed on every handg NVaiting for that golden call, the Pot O' Gold. Harken! Could that be a ring From the wall telephone? Each one told Himself it wasg and all did sing. But gloom over everyone did cling, XY'rong number. not the Pot O, Gold. -jack Stiver. LOCKED IN There is nothing unusual about making one's bed, but I think you will agree with me that the experience I had was quite unusual. Harold, my little brother, was jumping on the bed when I was trying to make it, so I put him out in the hall and shut the door. After I had hnislied making the bed I went to open the door to let Harold in. But, to my surprise the door wouldn't open! I tried to turn the knob, but it wouldn't budge. I called my motlierg she came upstairs and worked and worked to get the door open, but was unsuccessful. XVe didn't know what to do. My brother passed 501116 tools under the door so that I could try to take the door off. I worked. but to no avail. There I was, locked in my bedroom with no way to get out. After about two hours my grandfather came. He ripped off some casing, splintered the edge of the door, and Finally got it open. I was free once more! -Marijune Allison's true experience. Page Six fern IGHTIER THAN THE SWORD AFTER THE RUSH The Christmas rush is o'er my dear Now we are planning for another New Year. NVe've taken down the Christmas tree A roosting place for the birds 'twill be. Now we are looking back o'er the day XVhen we didn't have school and we could play, But seven o'clock has rolled around NVe're to get ready for school without a sound. Now we are back to the same old grind We have to write poems or whatever we find, Maybe a short-short, or maybe a play Or even a speech, or .1 little essay. The kids again have their tricks down patg Norm came in and sat on a tack. The seniors are wearing their sweathers, oh! gee just fit as a fiddle, oh can't you see. This New Year's Eve is .1 big event, But in your sleep it leaves a dent, And in the morning in Assembly I, Someone will iind you asleep. More fun! On New Year's day at school we'll call To make up time we lost last fall. If late, Mother writes an excuse for you And then Brummy writes an Hadmity' too. On Friday the game is with Columbia City. If we don't win 'twill sure be a pity, But now dear friends, please have no fear You can count on K'ville to give 'em a cheer. After this beginning it's hard to tell What lies in store for us to yell. So now I'11 close for this poem here And write you another in the brand New Year. -Barbara Hauff. THE SEA The sea sings a song in its waves, Centuries and centuries it braves Time. It gains our losses like :i bleeding man, And washes its never-ending waves upon the sand For the sea is my guiding light, I go there when the world is full of blight. It never falters as a home, And so to the sea I dedicate this poem. -Fred Haskins, jr. Page Seventeen WE COULD MAKE SUCH BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, SO WHY DON'T WE? As the bell dismissing the 9:-I0 classes rings, the usual flurry of humanity rushed from the wide-open classroom doors. But wait! Why hurry? Here and there we see other pupils whistling, Let the Rest of the XVorld Go Byy' while they are in no hurry at all. Orchestra! we think. Ah, this is one class to which We can be late. We escort our friends to their classes then, as the 10:25 bell rings, walk leisurely to the music room. Seeing that the chairs aren't set up we go get a drink until some too ambitious person under the guidance of Mr. Arnold opens the balcony door starts carrying in chairs. After .1 sufficient number has been brought in, we exert ourselves by opening them. Sud- denly we are awakened by a loud crash. Oh, my sides! I should never laugh so hard, but this is too tempting! Burnell Aungst and his violin are seated on a chair, but-the chair is flat on the floor. Luckily, the violin wasn't hurt. Then the music begins. The tone A is struck on the piano for the stringed instru- ments and B-flat for the horns. XVhen we start we find char, rather than stopping to tune again, itls easier to trade music to ht the key to which welre tuned. Thank good- ness none of us were blessed with perfect pitch. Sometimes we wish Mr. Arnold's weren't so perfect. After the resemblance to a traffic jam has quieted down, Mr. Arnold tells us from which book we are to play. Being color blind Cexcept when he bought his carj, he tells us the number of the book instead of the color, which our juvenile minds more easily comprehend. But before we can use our music we must set up our racks. As usual, some have been forgotten. jackie Graybill claims she lives about three milesa' from school, so she doesn't have to go home for hers. Lawrence Hess can be seen peeking over the top of his trombone case on which he will stick his music. fAfter he sticks the music on the case, he can't be seen.j Now what's this? Poor Burnell Aungst seems to be having more trouble. Oh, we see! He has drawn the rack left to the school by the late Belgina Alacazam of '02. Bur- nell expresses the suppressed thought of the whole orchestra when he says fquotej XVhat a wreck of a rack. Cunquotej. Finally the music is to begin. Mr. Arnold, praying fervently, starts us twice, and on the third chance we're otf gin more ways than onej! As he becomes more warmed to our playing, his arm slips, and Vivien Engle's music is knocked off her rack. It's .1 good thing her bow fbeauj didn't slip. After finishing the Unfinished Symphony, we are saved by the bell and Mr. Arnold reminds us that each one is to fold his chair and put it away. Hearing this thoughtful and well-meant advice, we all rush up the stairs leaving Mr. Arnold with a warm glow in his heart for the Boy Scouts. Edith Cripe and Alice Berry And they,ve been there! THE ALL AMERICAN PEST Yes, I was doomed! Much as I wanted to go to the basketball game, I had to take care of him. My folks had made arrangements with the neighbors that afternoon for me to do so, while they all went to the movie. QI had previously seen itj. And there was no way of getting out. Oh, well, I tried to console myself, wat's one ball game or another? But it was to no avail. XVell, he arrived promptly at 7:00 QI shall refer to the neighbors' one and one-half year old son as he j, and the folks, all left. We were alone. I gave him my sister's doll to play with while I turned on the radio. Suddenly all seemed unusually quiet ex- cept for the blare of the radio. I turned around. He was nowhere to be seen, but there on the floor was the doll. One arm had been neatly amputated and was now invisible. The head was tilted at a crazy angle and I knew that very little effort would complete- ly remove it also. I called him: no answerg I called again, still no answer. I started to hunt: first in the parlor, then in the bedroom, dining room, and finally the kitchen. There he was, perched precariously on the table, his face smeared with newly made jam, and the doll's rubber arm rammed down the toaster which he had somehow managed to turn on. The air was blue with the smoke of the arm and smelled foul I pulled the plug on the toaster and grabbed him in time to prevent his toppling to the floor. Young man, I said, This is the first and last time you get out of my sight this evening! Later I was to remember those words. Now you sit there while I get some Page Eighteen water and wash your face. With that I set him on a chair and turned to the sink. Having drawn the water, I reached for a wash rag, but my hand was stopped in mid- air by the sound of a crash behind me. The ice-box door was wide open, one dish was broken into jagged pieces, several boiled potatoes rolled drunkenly across the floor, and he stood there with one hand on the wildly swinging bird-cage, looking at me and say- ing, Oh-h-h-h-h? Now I ask you, Whac was I to do? The folks weren't gone half an hour and he had ruined one doll, one good toaster, a fresh batch of jam, one dish, and several boiled potatoes, not to mention spilling one bird cage. Again I ask you, Wl1i1t was I to do? I'll tell you what I did. I washed his face, and, with one eye on him, cleaned up the mess on the floor. Then I stuck him, much against his will, on the davenport while I sat beside him and tried to read. All went well, if you can call reading three pages in half an hour well, when I heard the tinkle of broken glass. He had somehow managed to climb from under my very nose and had found the china compartment in the buffet. I must have lost my temper, for I found him turned over my knee and my hand up-raised. I counted ten, but the hand descended with Z1 resounding crack. Immediate- ly I wished I had counted to a hundred and ten, for he set up such an awful howl I thought my ears would burst. Nevertheless, he screamed for ten minutes straight and only then began to quiet down a little, By the time I got him to sleep it was eight- thirty, half an hour till the folks would come home. XVith a sigh of relief, I took my book and curled myself into the arm chair. -Trent Knepper. OUR KAY AITCH ESS just a moment, schoolmates, I'm asking you to look Carefully at every page In this, our memory book. It will bring you sunshine When the skies are gray, Many times you'll read it And to others say: This is my old Kay Aireh Ess, Forty-one's the year! Thinking of these happy days, You'll wipe away a ICa11'. Each page brings a memory Of some sweet face you knew- Your classmates and teachers All come back to you. It isn't just a simple book: That will with time grow cold, But people couldn't buy itg It's worth its weight in gold. So hold on to this Anual, Guard it, schoolmates, dog Give a thought to us some day, For we shall think of you! -Clyde Whitson, Jr. Page N ineleen CLOUDS l.ike flocks of sheep Across the sky they move Snowy white Against the sky of blue. -Virginia Cunningham. SENICR THOUGHTS XVe're approaching the close of our high school days And to each of us comes this thought: We are going, in our different ways, To our goals which must soon be sought. The road will fork and our paths must part And each his own way must pass, But each will keep in his inmost heart A spot for his senior class. We may climb to the summits of mountains high Or descend to the valley low, But we'll always look back with a happy sigh To our seats in the senior row. Our friends and teachers will all come back In memory to our siclesg Their good advice we will never lack To help us against the tides. If we meet with success on the mountain top Or we fail in the valley low, Let us often let the curtain of memory drop And in dreams let us often go To days we know we will call the best Though now we may think them dull, And let our minds. if in need of rest, Bc refreshed by fond memory's lull. -Virginia Butz, Senior.

My commission expi s at the close of the year 1941. Page Tuwxly Nine IUST AROUND TH SENIOR CLASS PROPH ECY Here we are, back in the good old U. S. A., just returned from our extended vaca- tion in Europe. XVe've purposely kept the news off the press wires so we could be the first to tell you that Markenos Kishego, our former class president, has just broken the international record for the one hundred yard dash in the Olympics. After being gone for so long we'll have to see what's happened to our class of t'-H. Upon picking up the telephone and asking for Information, please, whose voice should we hear but that of Marjorie Browand. Vfhat luck! Now we can get all the dope hot oli the wires. XY'lien we inquire about chartering a plane for K'ville, we find that Bill Kammerer has a monopoly on all U. S. airlines. XY'ith Bill's aid we are able to get reservations for tomorrow. We simply have to stay overnight so we can attend the party to be given by Mary Jane Glass in her Fifth Avenue penthouse. First of all, of course, we must go to the beauty parlor to freshen up a bit after our long trip across. Upon inquiring we find that the best beauty shop in the great city is owned by none other than Paul Cooley, who has discovered a solution which makes straight hair curly in one application. Margaret XVert greets us at the door with an autographed copy of her book, written to explain the process. The book is called Hou fu Curl up amf DFW. Oh, look! Here comes Maynard Preston for his weekly manicure by his favorite mani- curist, Martha Snyder. He is carrying his new portable radio and turns it on, trying to get the Big League baseball game in which the all-star player. Harold Rice, is pitching. It seems that it isn't quite time for the game. just as he is about to turn the dial. we hear the voice of Ed Munk announcing, XVe will now hear the two hundred forty-fifth consecutive broadcast of the famous Zip trio, featuring Xvanda Engle, violing Clara Pfaiiman, cellog and Ruth Carothers, piano, brought to you by the makers of Zippo glass products. XY'e are honored to have with us in the studio today Miss Annalee Houck, manager of the firm. She tells us that after many months of hard work she is going to Hollywood to see her old classmate, Doyne Casselman, one of the few high ranking male stars of the day in the premiere of his new picture, uYour Town. In Hollywood she anticipates meeting the famous trio which her product sponsors. It seems that Ruth Carothers has become an accomplished pianist overnight, so to speak. She at- tributes her success to the six lessons from Madame Helen la Herberger, the famous piano teacher. Sylvia Finley, former pianist for the trio, has just returned from three years of missionary work in deepest China and is now on a tour of lectures here. Say, if weire going to make that party in time, we'll have to dash. Here's a taxi. letis take it. Oh, it says Sebert Cab Co. Xvonder if that could have any connection with James Sebert. Nvhy, it,s James himself! YY'e regret that we can't chat awhile, but weire almost late for the party-ah, at last we're here. At the door we are greeted by the charming hostess, Mary Jane, and, peeking in, we se: that the party is in full swing. At one side of the Glass penthouse we see Robert Herb describing to a group of interested people the beauty of his new dentist office. By the way, Bob is a painless dentist, and nowadays that means the office is furnished with juke boxes, television sets, and soft lights, guaranteed to divert the mind from the drill. Barbara McCally is also receiving some of the glory, for she was the one who did the interior decorating of the office. No one can deny her superb ability after seeing the of- iice and also the gorgeous home of Arthur NY'ible, Jr., who has just retired from his brilliant career of acrobatics, and has decided to spend the rest of his life in leisure. At the opposite end of the room we see Betty I-Iaverfield telling her listeners th: pathetic conditions of the slums where she is doing social service work. Among her listeners are Margaret Reamer, prominent ice skater who has put Sonja Henie out of the running with her remarkable ability. Dr. Helen Sawyer is especially interested in this work as she runs a free clinic in the heart of the slums. But who's this over here in the corner? XY'hy, it's Becky NValters and she's concentrat- ing for all she,s worth. One of the guests, Mary Ananias, exquisite john Powers model, informs us than Becky is all wrapped up in her scientific research, still trying to find out who Yehudi is. The attention of all is now called to the center of the room where Dick Trowbridge announces that, as part of the program, Dottie XY'arford, dancer in Dick's new show, will favor us with a comic dance. Next on the program is a song from Anna Kammerer, lovely Metropolitan O era sin er. Kathleen Seng as her manager, can well be proud of Anna's great success. Julita and Josefina Valdes conclude the program with a beautiful dance, a sample from their current show, now running its ninth year on Broadway. A late arrival is Lynn Longnecker who has recently discovered a new money-making system from the proiits of which he has just paid off the national debtg he is now saving up to get married. P g ai Page Tbirlj RNER Lynn brings us a telegram for which he has just signed on his way up. lt is from Dorothy Karlen and states that Dorothy regrets that she cannot attend the party because one of her health resorts has just burned to the ground, and she must stay in Florida to supervise immediate rebuilding. She is owner of the largest chain of health resorts in the United States. Amy lhrie, ace news reporter on the New York Star, has to leave the party at once to get a scoop story on the eonflagration. She suspects sabotage. We are grieved to have to leave the party at an early hour, but we must get some shut-eye in order to be in shipshape condition for our trip tomorrow.- We arrive at the airport to find that our plane will be an hour late. Then we can eat our breakfast in this cute little airport tea room. Oli, here are june and Arlene Likes, the owners, coming to greet us. Soon after we are seated, Robert Schneider, daring test pilot for the air lines, saunters in to get his breakfast and stops to converse with us a while. He is accompanied by Alice Hollinger, airplane stewardess, who has become en- gaged to one of the millionaire patrons of the company. -At last our plane arrives and we get started on our journey. Say, doesn't that girl crying in the next seat look familiar? XVhy, yes, it's Connie Reed: She says that married life doesn't agree with her and she is going home to mother because she has had a fight with her husband. But already she is planning to take the next plane back to him. Ain't love grand? We are nearing home now and are flying over Notre Dame where Bob Cochard is athletic coach, the best they've ever had.-Now we're over South Milford and can see Franklin Hockenbergerls little farm just outside that city. By the way, they tell us that Charles Pollock is South Milford's newly-elected constable. At last, hereis Kendallville. We have a beautiful new airport here which is managed by Kathleen Ley, a very efficient business woman. We see notices posted up on the wall that there is to be a charity ball tomorrow night given the aristocratic Countess Avis de Mabus. She acquired her title during a trip abroad several years ago. On our way up town we encounter Eleanor Nesbitt, Edith Froelich, and Doris Frain whizzing past in Eleanor's new 1951 convertible. They are all secretaries in thriving business firms. Of course weill have to visit the Palace and find out what's new. We are not sur- prised to find that June Anna Leighty has sole ownership of the place, having bought it with an inheritance from a rich uncle. We see several new buildings have been added to the business district. One of them is Mildred Herendeen's nursery for children. We see the former Joann Weirick, Leda Crowell, and Mabel Veit taking their children inside, and the former Patricia Runge is just taking hers home. On the second floor of this building is the richly furnished studio of Theodosia Walsh, famous designer of men's clothing. Her chief model is Warren Sexton. XVe see Robert Schmidt and Forrest Castator on their way to a fireman's ball to be held tonight in Fort XVayne. We'll take a walk through the park and then we 1TlL1St go home and eat supper. Oh! there's a new building just across from the park. It's Florence Overholser's florist shop and it looks as if Florence is prospering. But who's this sitting over here so dejectedly on this park bench? Well, it's jack Berhalter and he says heis slowly going nuts trying to decide what he wants to take up for his life's profession. My, how time flies! Here we are at the charity ball and is it ever going over big! Right now the center of attraction is Armin Gutstein, the famous scientist who has amazed the world by discovering the perpetual motion machine. Ult was simple, says Armin. Among the guests are the former Dorothy Fritz, whose husband is now a captain in the United States Army, Helen Sollenberger, renowned dramatic teacher, and Donna Cochard, United States treasurer. QShe says her experience in the senior class helped her very much.j The music for the ball is furnished by Margaret Kline and her all-girl orchestra in which Rosemary Hill is featuring accordianist. Chief number on the program is a song by the glamorous child star, daughter of the former Kathryn Schultz. The former Helen Fae Curie and Mildred Davison, prominent K'ville housewives, are making arrangements to send some refreshments from the ball out to Bill I-lazelton who stays in his hermitage out on Baby Mountain. Now that our curiosity has been satisfied, since we have learned all about our former classmates, we'll bid our social life farewell for a while and get settled down at home again, happy in the thought that the old class of -ll didn't turn out so bad after all. -Joan Cox and Virginia Butz. Page Tllvirly One ECHOES OF OUR FOOTSTEPS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Company K, 41st squadron to Commander Reader of Kay Aitch Ess, reporting on history of squadron for maneuvers. Our company was organized under Miss Ihrie to teach up the fundamentals and ground work. She taught us the A B C's of aeronautics and how to hold the rudder stick. XVe were a pretty scared bunch of rookies, and a little wobbly after the first trip. We were promoted to the Second Grade Company and spent a rather uneventful year still doing written work and then passed into the Third Grade Company. XY'e had been having several social events in the main hangar, and to recall to mind their nature, we shall report the Third Grade Company's Halloween party under the supervision of Miss Nichols in Hangar NO. 3. Sylvia Finley caused an uproar by being dressed as Bo Peep and looking under the benches for her sheep. Dick Trowbridge rated .1 demerit by taking her shepherd's crook away from her and hooking every one around the neck. Then Miss Klyta Sawyer took charge of Company K in Hangar No. 4. She is tspecially efficient in doling out spelling demons. Armin Gutstein even on Blue Mon- days showed his brilliant affinity for learning new maneuvers. lfive B we changed airrields from Central to Departmental. Under Leaders Weber and Rankin our squadron sub-divided into two units. ln the 6th Company we gave a benefit show presenting fthe main attractionj Mark- enos Kishego doing a war dance. He used to do them beautifully. A'so in the main hangar we had another benefit for the junior Red Cross to which we all subscribed. XY'e depended very much on this unit in time of distress. The 7th Company was distinguished by a great bicycle craze. Everyone rode bicycles to classes. The Company's general manager was the efficient Mr. Thomas. WH: then changed fields from the Departmental to the High School. Since it was time for us to organize formally, we elected as president, Nvaunita Sobieskeg vice-presi- dent, Amy Ihrie, secretary'-treasurer, Richard Fritz, our leader, Mr. Baker. We had our annual squadron party on january 22, 1937 after which we attended the basketball game. XVe had general assembly on Mondays and Fridays at which several of the members of the squadron displayed their various talents. This was the most important promotion of our company so far and some deserted. In other words, part of us began specializing in ground work and mechanics while others took to the air. The next year, 1938, we received draftees from the Lutheran, XVayne Center, and South Milford Schools. increasing our number of cadets to one hundred and eleven. Our officers this year were: President, Maynard Evers, vice-president, Kathleen Ley, sec- retary-treasurer, Jack Renkenbergerg Miss Lantz, our leader. A potluck supper was en- ioy ed with music and dancing as entertainment. Everybody had a gay old time especially Mr. Baker and june Anna Leighty who put on an exhibition dance for the rest of us. The tenth company was termed silly by those cadets further-advanced, but we thought we were quite accomplished. W'e were now one hundred and three in number including three new transfers, Joan Cox from Bedford, and Josefina and julita Valdes from Chicago. These auburn Senoritas created quite a stir, especially in the hearts of the male members of our squadron. We had two large social events that year under the sponsorship of Miss Lantz, one, a picnic at Little Long Lake. Everyone filled up so much on wieners and marshmallows that they could hardly move by the time the Treasure Hunt was announced. The other event was a skating party at the Rome City Rink. The eleventh grade company has been the most eventful and exciting year yet. We received seven new cadets, Ruth Thrasher transferred from XVorthington. Bill Hazelton from our friendly enemy, Garrett, W'ayne and Paul Cooley from our neighbor, Avilla, Leda Crowell from Mongo, Mildred Davison from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Barbara McCally from Brookville. We chose Mary Jane Glass to care for the profits received from our play, Once There XY'as a Princess, directed by Miss Eva Robertson. It scored a big hit among the members of the other squadrons and their families. XVe sponsored a banquet for the 40th squadron, the theme being Mexican fiesta, suggested and managed by our leader, Miss Laura Goodwin. XVe are now entering upon the last year of our training. We have bought sweaters in the colors of our company, red and white. We have chosen as our motto, Don't try dying, die trying. NVe elected our president, Markenos Kishego by means of a conven- tion patterned after the Republican National Convention. Our vice-president is Sylvia l'inley, and our secretary, Becky Walters, treasurer, Donna Cochard. The editor-in-chief of this publication was chosen to be Armin Gutstein. -Helen Herberger and Helen Fae Curie.

At last it is 3:40, time to Put all our books, cares, and troubles away and retire to the gym with Miss Carroll, who is always faithfully waiting for us. She not only teaches us how to play games in good old Hoosier fashion, Qplenty of Wim, vigor, and wital- ity j but also teaches us fairness and good sportsmanship. She is always encouraging us, trying to get us to develop more skill, helping us to laugh away our sorrows, and aiding us to have a good time. She also gets behind our other activities, and through her planning, our parties and play days have been a success. She urges us to come out for the good that we derive from playing instead of just for the points. We wish to thank Miss Carroll for all the work she has done to make G. A. A. a success in Kendallville High School. XY'hy werenit more of you out this year for athletics? Oh, we know the Seniors will say, W'ell, I just can't rind time, with everything else going on every nightf, but just think of the fun some of them are missing. You know that after a couple of rounds of good play, you all feel better, no matter if you win or lose. Surely, you girls can afford on: night each week to play! just think. too, of the new girls you can get acquianted with. The Athletic department is just one big happy family with Miss Carroll as the mother, and we love to have new members. The bigger the family the more fun we have. Wfhat does G. A. A. stand for? That is a question which comes to the mind of every lreshman girl when she is asked to join our group, as all of us are asked to do. First of all, we G. A. A. girls want to have a good time playing together. We want to learn how to play the game well enough so that we can have some fun at it. We do not stress competition, but rather the joy of playing together. Secondly, we learn good sportsmanship and fair play. W'e can't all be winners in G. A. A. or anywhere else, so if we learn to be good losers, we have learned a lot. Tournaments are held once a year in each sport to determine which class has the best teams. This is the only time that G. A. A. is competitive. But, oh, the times we have playing in the tournament! Our G. A. A. has been host to girls from other schools on several occasions. May 4, 1940, we had the State Play Day hereg April 12 we entertained the alumnaeg and April 14 the Albion G. A. A. W'e have also been invited out to the schools of other G. A. A.'s. Our parties are always a scream, but come out and discover this for yourself. W'e girls also work for awards, but we hope that no girl comes to G. A. A. just to obtain her award. There are three awards which are given on the basis of points earned. The monogram with 150 points, the K with 250 points and the wall plaque with 350 points. Each year an honor sweater is given to the senior girl having the highest num- ber of points. Ten points are given for participating in one organized sport, a certain minimum of hours over a period of six or more weeks. Eive points are awarded for participating in an unorganized sport over the same period of weeks. Points are given for passing achievement tests. You are allowed 50 points in achievement tests each year. Every freshman girl should become interested and start earning her points in her first year in high school. Officers this year were: President, Becky XValtersg vice-president, Dorothy Karleng and secretary, Helen Cox. The G. A. A. has a subscription to the paper, Sportingly Yours, which gives interest- ing accounts of the activities of other G. A. A, girls. The basketball leader was Edna Fritz. She surely did put this sport across! As leader for volley ring tennis we had Lois Karlen who did her work excellently. Connie Reed, our volley ball leader, was also our girls' athletic editor for this annual. Irene Baker deserves much credit for keeping up the enthusiasm of a large group of girls. Also we salute Beverly Mulholland for getting the girls out for achievement tests. Dorothy Karlen and Becky Walters were in the lead for the honor sweater. To jean McCullick, the leader of archery, we give credit, for she really deserves it. Sally Soboslay enthusiastically led the hiking and Connie Kimmel guided the bicycling group. XVith Jeanne Beights as leader of badminton, competition in the league was stiff. Page Tlairly Eight R. 1 w I Q. - ,ex Page Tbirg Ninn a I Ya- if N u f BASKETBALL XVe started our basketball season with hopes of having sixty girls playing. lidna Alean lfritz, the leader, reported that a total of seventy-four girls took part. There were six teams, of ten members, who entered in league basketball. League basketball for the girls is something different from anything we've had before. Eaeh team chose their own suits of distinctive color and style. Some teams had names while others went by the eaptain's name. The teams were as follows: Sehmuelfs team, freshmeng tIohnson's team, freshmen, Carteaux's team, sophomoresq Cooley's team, sophomoresg XY'alter's team, juniors and seniors, and I7ritz's team, juniors. Sehmuelfs team ealled themselves the Peppermint Sticks because they always got licked. By the x-qay, their suits were red and white striped and they did lose every game. lfritfs team played an unbeaten season. liasketball this year covered a longer period than usual: and because of the interest in the game, the schedule was extended in good, old Hoosier fashion! Even after the elosed season we continue to play just for fun. Anyway, even if you've never come out for basketball, next season if you'll be here, we'll be glad to play with you. Page Forty MIXED PICTURE Some of the spring and fall sports whieh all girls take part in, either as an organized or unorganized activity, are more or less individualized, such as: roller sliatingg archery tone bulls eye in a hun- dredjg lawn tennisg bieyeling foften furnishes transportation to a steak fry or weiner roastjg and shuffleboard Qhere you try to keep your opponent from making any points at allj. 'TABLE TENNIS Everyone ltnows what table tennis is and enjoys playing it. Have you ever seen a night after school when there is no one playing table tennis? No, you have not. There are several expert players among the G. A. A. girls. Table tennis is also an organized and an unorganized game among us. lf you haven't played tennis with any of the G. A. A. girls, just challenge them in a game. They are sure to play with you. VOLLEYBALL Volley ball was one of the chief sports among our girls this year. After losing the initial round with the Seniors, the Juniors emerged victorious in the final game. The Juniors won over the Freshmen in a consola- tion game. BADMINTON Badminton, a rather new sport, is a great game among the G. A. A. Badminton is a cross between tennis and volley ball. A racket, similar to a tennis racket and a shuttleeock, which has a cork base and feathers on it, are used. The shuttlecoek, often called a birdie, is hit over the net. The rules of playing are like that of volley ball. All girls enjoy badminton very much. RING TENNIS Everyone has played ring tennis at some time or other and has seemed to enjoy it. You do have to be quick and on the alert to be able to eateh the flipped ring as it is tossed at you. You also have to be able to see all holes and try to get your serve or return into an unguarded spot. Page For ly Om PLAY DAY What is an Indiana League Play Day? It is a meeting of representa- tives of the various schools belonging to the Indiana League of High School Girls' Athletic Association. Its purpose is to introduce new sports and to enable the members of the League to become better acquainted with each other and their methods of playing games. Last year the Kendallville G. A. A. was fortunate in being hostess to their fellow members of the league. On May 4, 1940, approximately two hundred girls attended from twenty northern Indiana high schools. Each girl as she arrived registered and was placed on a team. The teams were named from the different states of the Union. During the morning period these teams followed a schedule of various activities. Luncheon was served at noon in the First Methodist Church parlors by the Methodist ladies. Appearing on the program were Gene Boszor as toastmistress, Edith Cripe and Dorothy Bigelow at the piano, and Irene Dugan, of Hammond, who gave the response. At two o'clock in the afternoon a more elaborate program was held in the new high school auditorium. Those taking part included: Clara Pfatfman, cello selections, Edith Cripe, a piano, Julita and josfina Valdes, Mexican dance, the Engle Trio, Mrs. Charlotte Strang, whistling selec- tions, Sylvia Finley and Mrs. Elizabeth Fritz, piano selections, Jean Mc- Cullick, flute solo, accompanied by Patricia Carteaux. Mrs. L. O. Bower gave a talk on our inner life, Our Sanctuary. The program concluded with the presentation of G. A. A. State Wall Plaques by Mrs. Marcella XVinebrenner of Albion. Schools represented were: Albion, Auburn, Concordia of Fort Wayne, Elmhurst, George Rogers Clark of Hammond, Thomas Edison junior High School of Hammond, Hammond High School, Clear Creek, Huntington, Kokomo, Mishawaka, Burris and Central of Muncie, North Liberty, Plymouth, Central of South Bend, Green Township, Washing- ton Clay, and Wakarusa. This year we went to South Bend to a State Play Day on May 17 along with various other schools in northern Indiana. State Wall Plaques were also presented to all girls who had earned them. ALBION PLAY NIGHT On April 14 we had a play night here with the Albion G. A. A. as our guests. We played various sports until six-thirty, as we do at play days, then we enjoyed a potluck supper. After our supper we had a program and dancing. Everyone had a jolly time playing with our neighboring school. G. A. A. ALUMNI PARTY This year we attempted something different from what we have been doing in other years, that is, having an Alumni Party. It was held on Sat- urday, April 12. NVe started at ten o'clock, played a few games of table tennis and volley ball, visited, and looked through the school building. At twelve-thirty we went to the Methodist Church Parlors for lunch and a program. After that we came back to the school building for a more elaborate program and also for playing of some sports for those who wanted to play. Page Forty Tuo STI-XTE GA 114' QQ ,, Exim Ill!

Although the fy'-i ..r..!.t, .,--ix 'Q -1 T i alba T won-lost record has not been im- pressive, the Comets turned in many close, interesting games with strong opponents. Two seniors have ended their high school basketball playing days. Markenos Kishe- go, the speedy high scorer of the team will leave a gap in the ranks. Bob Cochard, the six-foot-one-inch giant of the team will also be missed from the hrst live. XVhile we are sorry to see them leave, we can be thankful that only two regulars will be lost. In the season's opener Hartford City nosed out the Comets. 26-30. With a burst of power recurrent throughout the year, the Comets plowed under La- Grange 36-22. Kendallville continued its winning ways by doubling the score against Angola, 34-17. In a heart-breaker the Bulldogs of Nappanee had a bit too much bite, 29-31. The big South Side team opened its season at Kendallvilleg notwithstanding the thrilling last minute Comet drive, the Archers hit the bulls eye, 32-35. Kendallville took it on the nose at Auburn 34 to 38, Pard Owen sparking the Comets with four consecutive baskets in the last quarter. The Comets at Huntington were humbled by a more experienced team. Huntington, 50, K'ville, 34. The two-team strategy proved the downfall of Auburn. Sweet revenge was secured to the score of 40 to 27. In a slowly played game Kendallville out-classed Ligonier, 25-15. Columbia City let down the in-and-out Comets, Z3-27. Superior height and weight held our boys down. In a well played game, Garrett fell to brilliant sniping of the Comets, 40-27. Kishego Y led the scoring with 18 points. The Comet invasion of Elkhart fell through, the trouble being that they couldn't get the ball. Kishe- go with four points was our high point man. Klville li-Elkhart 36. Using two faves Kendallville eas- ily made it two in a row over Ligonier, again 25-15. The Comets at XY'aterloo were unable to overcome an early mar- gin. They were nosej out, 34-33. Playing a great ball game K'ville treated its fans to .1 timely victory -- Y . over Garrett. Bill Parker sunk the Page 130115 Srl rn elinehing baskets in the closing minutes. K'ville 35-Garrett 33. ln a free scoring contest K'ville out-powered Butler 52-37. Kishego scored 19 points The highly rated Tigers of Bluffton beat our boys in a tight game. 28-22. North Side, a threat for the state title. trod over the Comets, 18-56. Getting back into stride the Comets invaded Decatur to whip the Yellow jaektts A line game by Cochard and Gilliland helped to make the score read 42-32. Although defeated Kendallville played one of their best games of the season aaunst Central. Smooth ball handling by Fraze helped make the battle thrilling. K'ville SS Central 42. Making their tourney debut the Comets snowed Lima under, 46 to 27, Next Came Rome City with high hopes. Continuing their power tactics the Comets took the Ro- mans into camp, S0 to 24. THE METEORS Although lack of experience pre- vented them from winning many games, the Meteors improved stead- ily from one game until the next. As a rule their games were hard fought and were followed by a lively cheering section. Very en- couraging was the large representa- tion of freshmen on the team. lfrom the Meteors, training squad for the first team, will come bigger and better Comets of the future. SECTIONAL The Comets were spared meet ing the vaunted Xvolf Lake Yvolvg S but fell into the clutches of the LaGrange Lions, always dangerou in tourney play.

The Comet track team of 1940 was the last team which will suifer a handicap due to lack of training facilities because a new athletic field is rapidly nearing completion. The Field, in the southern section of the town, is financed by the city. The school, however, will maintain and improve the baseball diamond and the track. There is a quarter mile track of hard packed cinders and vaulting, high jumping, and broad jumping pits. An equipment shed in the northwest corner was built by the manual training classes. Several meets with out-of-town track teams have been scheduled this season. Un- doubtedly the field will do much to enliven interest in track, resulting better thinly teams of the future. It is hoped that in suitable weather the gym classes may also use the field, gaining benefit from the fresh air and sunshine. I940 TRACK RECORD K'ville 42 .. .. , ...... . . .. ....,.. ....... .....

Since the fall season was canceled because of the infantile paralysis epidemic, the Comets lost their chance to improve on their record of the spring of 1940. Although the season's record stood at three wins and four losses, Kendallville won the county tournament. They slugged out a 16 to 1 decision over Wfawaka and followed with a 14 to 2 win over Rome City. Losing many players, Coach Guymon must begin anew this year in building a win- ning team.

The boys were divided, according to their size into two divisions: the light- wcights and the heavyweights. These divisions were made up of four eight-man teams. :Xfter an interesting season the tournament was held. The heavyweight title was won by xhe Dodgers, and the lightweight champs were the Tigers. DODGERS TIGERS Robert Hart, Kiser, Lehner, Reith, Davis, Frey, Gongwer, R. Ivey, Mason, Robert C. Smith, and Billy Smith. Parker, :incl Thomas. VOLLEYBALL Volley ball was the next sport on the schedule. Teams were formed to represent each class in high school. The juniors nosed out the seniors for the title. SOFTBALL In softball, the juniors continued their supremacy over the other classes by winning three straight games. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Next two games of interclass basketball were played. The juniors took another de- cision from the seniors and the sophomores beat the freshmen. INTRAMURAL TRACK AND FIELD MEET A revived interest was shown in track this year, partly due to the use of the new municipal athletic held. 46 boys won points in the meets, which were held on several different days. The final tabulation showed the juniors and sophomores tied for first, each squad with 88 points. The freshmen placed third with 6812 points to nose out the hapless seniors whose 62 'Q points put them in last place.

At the beginning of the season the band had a few strong players and many weak ones. During this season much emphasis has been put upon instrumental growth and preparation for what is to come later. Members are being taught how to follow a conductor, to play musically with expression, while still maintaining the energy necessary for a good band. Although this is Mr. Arnold's first year here and he is only here part time, he has accomplished much in the making of a band. He hase created interest among the younger students by forming a junior band. The band performed for all of the basketball games, marched for the Christmas Celebration, and performed in the music week concert. A Woodwind trio, trumpet duet, Xylophone soloist, and cornet soloist entered the Tri-State Music festival contest on April 19. XVe are fortunate in having several good private teachers who are helping to develop a good band. Many band and orchestra students performed in the four monthly rccitals conducted by the music department. Graduating band members are: Barbara McCally, clarinet, Armin Gutstein, clarinet, Margaret Kline, saxophoneg Markenos Kishego, bas- soong Lynn Longnecker, bass viol. Page Fifty Four HARMS. Q I ORCHESTRA The High School Symphony Orchestra performed an entire symphony for the first time in its history, Symphony No. 6 in G Major or the Surprise Symphonyn by Franz Josef Hayden. lt is working hard to main- tain the high ideals of classical music and to transmit them to its apprecia- tive audiences. The main programs of the year were the Matinee Music Club program on March 25 and the performances during music Week and Qommencement. To be a musician a person must love music as an art, feel that constant study and practice are necessary for advancement, and know the respon- sibility of attending rehearsals and performances. Fortunately, this feel- ing seems to be inborn among the members of the orchestra, hence the line programs. This year the orchestra has been working under the direction of a new conductor, Mr. Arnold. He has created musical interest among the younger students by forming a Junior Orchestra, which is working hard to develop itself into the orchestra of the future. We Wish to pay tribute to the following seniors for their line contri- butions to the orchestra: Waiida Engle, Concertmasterg Theodosia Wfalsh, violin, Clara Pfaffman, cello, Armin Gutstein, oboe, Barbara McCally, ciarinetg Markenos Kishego, bassoong and Lynn Longnecker, bass viol.

Aided by the townspeople, faculty, and fellow students, we hope to succeed in carrying through our objective and to uphold the high standards set by those preceding us. Therefore, to provide an authentic record of school life and perhaps bolster fading memories of the future, we present the story of a year at Ken- dallville High-a moment of the Passing Parade.

This is a training class. It is open to .1ll. If he sI1ows .1 real love of sii1ging and .1 desire to sii1g in a glee club, his ability will be discovered in chorus. He will be given an opportunity to try out for the Girls' Glee Club Ihladrigalj, Treble Clef Club qjunior Hij, or the Boys' Glee Club. In tI1ese glee clubs the IUOSI outstanding singers by tryouts, if successful, may be elected to membership in the A Capella Choir. TI1e A Capella Cl1oir this year shows promise of an exceptional choral group. To sing A Capella, which means unaccompanied, the voices must not only have beautiful quality, but must bIei1d perfectly in ensemble singing. This choir is limited in l'l'lCI1IbCl'- ship to 30 voices, and I1as a Iarge waiting list. This is the first ye.1r that the choir has worn vestments, which adds a spiritual .1s well as a dignified appearance to tI1e group. The choir's first appearance this year was at tI1e May Festival Concert during the National Music NVeeIs observance. .1nd it gave the entire musical program for the Bacca- laureate service. Anna Kammerer, coloratura soprano, who was a XYIIIIICI' in the lI'lClI.1II.l University School of Music regioi1.1I contest, is soloist of tI1e choir. XViIIiam Polland, baritone, also .1 winner, is .1 soloist. Many of the A Capella Choir's membership study voice with private teachers, as they are really serious music students. Others study violin, cello, and piano. This adds much to their musical understanding and appreci.1tion, and they are good sight readers, which saves mucI1 time. At present they are singing religious music of medium difficulty, As tI1e cI1oir de- velops it will be able to include in its program .1II standard music both sacred and secular, which is written for A Capella Choir. The A Capella Cl1oir is to cI1or.1I singing what the Symphony is to Orchestral music. The highest development is to be independent of piai1o accompaniment.

Its members have their training in the various choral groups which are a part of the music curriculum. In chorus anyone may be a member, without regard to balance of voices. Here, our high school singers learn to follow the baton, to secure a good tone, to become part of a uniiied group. They learn the true meaning of ensemble singing. Those who show promise are given tests. If they are good sight readers, have a good tone quality and one that blends with other voices, they may be elected to mem- bership in the Madrigal Club. This group of girls naturally has a place of leadership in all choral groups. They were an integral part of the Operetta The Count and the Coed which was presented in January. From their membership are selected the girls' voices of the A Capella Choir. The Madrigal Club sang on the May Festival program and broadcast from XVOXVO in May. The Madrigal Club has parties, generally potluck suppers, and an initiation each year for new members. The initiation usually leans toward the ridiculous and affords a lot of fun for the members and guests. One most enjoyable social affair was the joint supper with the G.A. A. Songs of the pep variety were planned by the athletic girls, and all had a wonderful time. This getting together of the two organizations was a fine example of cooperation. The G. A. A. played games while the Madrigal committees arranged the supper. Approximately seventy-five were seated. The G. A. A. formed the clean-up committee while the Madrigal club initiated its new members. The Madrigal Club sings music that is difficult, and included in its repertoire are the standard and classic compositions, always music of the highest type. Une of their first numbers this year was The Death of Trenar by Brahius, a num- ber which included many hours of study. This was sung on the May Festival program. Light music is included but never cheap music. This club has been organized for fifteen years. It has developed into an organization that is second to none in the music department. It can be truly said that their music is beautiful. This comment has been made many times: The tone quality was beautiful, and I could understand every word they sang. Girls who wish to be elected to membership in this most select club should get into chorus class and train for it. Page Fiflj Sm eu OPEN WIDE, PLEASE! THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Boys' Glee Club is the peppiest group of singers we have had for some time. lt has always been an up-hill job to get a boys' glee club to progressg because many of them work after school, and have many other activities, dramatics, and athletics. The boys sang for one of the Auditorium Programs this year and for Parent-Teachers Association. All of them sang in the operetta, and many of them were principals in the cast. They also assisted the Business and Professional Women in bringing cheer to the inmates at the County Farm. The upper classmen of the Boys' Glee Club are members of the A Capella Choir which will sing for the Baccalaureate service.

Page Fifig Eight AUDITORIUM IgIjN OUR AUDITORIUM This page is dedicated to the many activi- ties performed in our new auditorium this season of 19-10-1941. We take this oppor- tunity to thank Miss Robertson for her ex- cellent work of directing the many programs of the past season. As a director she has made Friday .1 day to which we look forward. All the two hundred or more students who have been given a chance to participate in one or more of these programs have profited greatly from them. Th: lirst treat of the year was on October -1 at the program called, Our Schoolf, This was .1 parody on Our Town giving a short glimpse of the senior and junior assemblies, the athletic departmcnt. and .ill the clubs. XVho could forget the Kodak stunt with Markenos Kishego posing like Napoleon in .1 paint-splattered hat and the birdie, Armin Cvutstein. Between October 7 and October 18 Ken- dallville High School took on the appearance of the Chicago and Philadelphia National Conventions. Supporters advertised their candidates with Beights' tin-can hats, Pompa- dour hair styles, and Kishego suckers. Slogans of the different candidates were: Future with Froelichgl' Best Bet's Bobg We don't want a Sitting Bull, We Want a Longneckerf' Outstanding slogan of the juniors was, Mountz Mounts the Highest. Highlights of the convention were: Kishego's sign attached to the stage lights, Armin 1Patrick Henryj Gutstein's speech, Gillilands' Siamese twins, Beights' five piece band and flashy drum ma- jorette, and Mountzls six stooges. W'ith a sudden outburst of yells the bas- ketball season got under way with the election of Betty Ellis and Paul Cooley as cheer leaders. National Book Week was celebrated through tableaux, readings, dramatizations, and a W'hat,s my name quiz. In the latter a truly talented artist was discovered in the person of Bob Herb, who hammered out after each book clue that difficult but marvelous composition in 7fi9 time of a Melody on One Note. Other note-worthy numbers were the Witches' scene from Macbeth, Babe Thrasher's version of the Black Cat by Poe, and a dramatization of the Byrds' Christmas Carol. There were also tableaux of scenes from The Idylls of the King. Midsummer Night's Dreamf' Uncle Tom's Cabinf' and Ichabod Crane. The funniest gags presented on our pro- gram of November birthdays were panto- mimes of a football game and the killing of a turkey. The most effective numbers were Taps,' for Armistice Day, the reading of the Gettsyburg Address, and the tableau for the Red Cross drive. The English V class and the department cooperated in true hoiiday spirit to present the beautiful play, Why the Chimes Rangf' The lovely stained glass windows, the music of th: church processional, and the scene where the three main characters were looking out of the window of the humble cottage were IHOSE im- pressive p.1rtly because of the fine lighting equipment. The first musical program of the year was .1 Majoress Beights-Bowes amateur hour pre- sented in radio fashion with our high school artists as participants. The classes were represented by Gunilda Gutstein, piano: Edith Cripe, pianog Sally Soboslay and Patty NVhit- ford, baton twirlersg Anna Kammerer, so- pranog Hubert Forbes, fluteg and Mr. Tritch, baritone. We all chuckled when Mr. Tritch and Hubert Forbes gon into a little heated dis- cussion over a certain stream, the jordan, and we laughed our hardest at the K. H. S. negro sextet. During the Health and Safety program we were amazed to find out the number of deaths caused by carelessness and neglect. The facts were presented through interesting sketches conducted in fl broadcasting studio. At the time of the Indoor Fair W'ig and Paint gave a minstrel show with the usual slapstick and 'tcornyl' jokes. The two end men were Phil Kaufman and Porky Jack- son. On February 7 we enjoyed two speeches given and written for the Rotarians by Rob- ert Herb, contest winner, and Armin Gut- stein, runner-up. Valentine's Day was celebrated with sev- eral tableaux in the frame of a big lacy valen- tine illustrating famous love songs. Those especially charming were: Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyesv with Joanne Cox and Markenos Kishegog In the Gloamingl' with Bill Kammererg Let Me Call You Sweet- heart with Omar Mountz and Betty Taylor. Serious and humorous valentines were por- trayed dating back from the colonial period to the hill billy period with a Sadie Hawkins' Day featuring Lil' Abner and Daisy Mae. The big feature of the day was the pageant, illustrating Sweethearts on Parade. On our patriotic program Virginia Butz and Sylvia Finley honored Washington's Birthday with a musical monologue. A movie, The Perfect Tribute was shown in Abra- ham Lincoln's memory. Helen Sollenberger delivered an original patriotic oration which she had prepared for the American Legion contest. Page Siify The Girl Reserves on March 7 entertained us with a play entitled, Mrs. Pat and the Law , directed by Miss Power. lt was a hu- morous story about an lrish family living in the slums of New York. The boys kinda showed their teeth when they had to sing G. R. songs. Mr. Kern of South Bend was given a hearty reception by the student body follow- ing his personality talk Don't Think in which he offered many helpful ideas about se- curing positions. The aft program sponsored by ikliss Sawyer presented a series of living pictures Mona Lisa, 'QThe Gleanersf' Song of the Larkf, Age of lnnocensef' XVhistler's Moth- er,,' and Madam le Brun and Daughter. Mrs. Emerick's paintings of the covered bridges of Indiana were displayed and ex- plained by Sally Teders. A musical reading of ENGINEERING STAFF Nevin Good Curtis Harper Charles Koon Ernest Rawson Riley Nelson Amy Lowell's Patterns was given by Helen Sollenberger, accompanied by lidith Cripe at the piano and Thedosia Wfalsh at the easel. The Little Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Arnold entertained with a delightful program on April 4. Various students showed how their instruments were played. Comic demonstrations were given by Lynn Longnecker on his oversized violin and Nlarkenos Kishegcfs wooden bugle-in other words a bassoon. The March of Health was the subject of the May 2 program. On May 9 Music Week was celebrated by a band and orchestra con- cert. Wag and Paint had charge of the May 16 meeting with plays and pantomimes. May 23 was Senior Kid Day with plenty of fun for the kiddies, at the last program of the year athletic and scholastic honors of all kinds were awa1'ded. Wye wish to take this opportunitv to thank all high school teachers for making these pro- grams possible. Next year when the doors of the Kendallyille High School open for the sec- ond big season every student will be waiting with his Sllc to pay for such grand entertain- ments as these. As Confucious say- He who pay 'um Sllc today gettum plenty much fun tomorrowf' The many programs, both major and minor, that have appeared in our new auditor- ium would not have been nearly so effective without the line stage lighting system. W'hile it is not entirely completed, many people have expressed praise for the work already accom- plished with it. A faculty member, Mr. Howerton, assisted valuably in explaining and operating the elec- trical equipment. Any participant in a production will re- member the way in which Bill Leamon, who is always ready with a smile and a willing hand, has worked with stage equipment and the switchboard. Due to the long range planning of Miss Robertson, students of the Kendallvdle High and the townspeople now can do their best in dramaties without being hampered by physi- cal limitations.

MOTHER-DAUGHTER BANQUET The first meeting this year was in the form of a picnic held at Bixler Lake, October 8. The code was discussed and explained by the cabinet members. Along about this time everyone was in the mood for a dance so on October 22, .1 Sweater I-Iop was held. About forty couples attended and all reported a good time. The theme chosen for this year was Building a Democracy.' During the year we had several outside speakers and a variety of interesting sub- jects. Among them were: Mrs. Clara Porter Yarnelle, who is connected with the Fort W'ayne Y. NV. C. A., spoke to us on the value of religion in life. Miss Golda Nicholson, a missionary recently returned from Japan, discussed the beauties of japan and the bene- fits of a democracy at a meeting which our fathers and teachers attended, and Mrs. Car- son, formerly a court reporter, explained many things which are very important in obtaining and holding a position. For the regular meetings we had a Review of 1940, our annual ehildren's Christmas party, a play, Gym and Jerry with the new members as characters, and a discussion of etiquette. The Girl Reserve Conference was held at Waterloo, November 9. About thirty girls from our organization attended. In the morning each school presented subjects, ours be- ing the Gibson Girls. In the afternoon the Dean of Girls of North Side High School in Fort Wayne spoke. On the evening of February 20, two hundred mothers and daughters attended the Girl Reserve Mother and Daughter Banquet. The tables were beautifully decorated with patriotic center-pieces, favors, and programs. Avis Mabus, program chairman, was toastmistress and introduced the speaker for the evening, Miss Golda Nicholson, whom we had enjoyed so much at a former meeting. She spoke to us on the subject of Inter- national Relations. A play entitled. Mrs. Pat and the Lawn was presented by a group of our girls. The evening ended with a very impressive candle light ceremony. May 2, was the date chosen for the Girl Reserve spring dance. As our main projejct for the year, we presented a combination radio-phonograph to the school for the differ- ent clubs and classes to use for their dances and parties.

Triteh Page Sixlj Eigbl SPGTLIGHT HISTORY 'V With the passing of the 1940-41 school year, the SPOTLIGHT, lx. S. newspaper, marks its eighth year as the ofhcial organ for dissemi- nation of the news of our school to students, parents, and other members or our community. Founded in 1933 by members of the journalism class, the SPOT- LIGHT has again this year endeavored to carry out the fourfold purpose of the school newspaper as set up by the first staff eight years ago. These purposes were: first, to promote interest in rhetoric, second, to make a record of events in our school, third, to bring the students and faculty into closer contactg and fourth, for amusement and enjoyment as well as appreciation. The SPOTLIGHT is published monthly by members of the journal- ism class, augmented by members of previous staffs. This year 38 students assisted in its publication, with practically a new staff in charge each semester. Staff members must have had at least five English credits to qualify for membership. Every staff member has a definite duty to per- form for each publication. Members of the editorial staff are responsible for departmental reporting such as office news, clubs, music, art, ex- change, and sports, students on the mechanical staff are in charge of typ- ing, mimeographing, and art work. In addition to regular staff duties, members are given special reporting assignments as they arise. Circulation for this year was a little over 400 copies per issue. Of these, approximately 340 were to student subscribers, 40 to merchants townspeople, and the balance to mail subscribers, and surrounding schools as exchange copies. The SPOTLIGHT prides itself in being self-supporting financially. Income is derived entirely from subscriptions without the aid of adver- tising or subsidy from the school board. Enough money is derived an- nually to defray current operating expenses and to purchase some added equipment. This year in addition to adding new styles and lettering guides, a new typewriter was purchased, bringing to three the total now owned by the paper. In addition to the nine regular twelve-page issues produced, this year three special editions were put out. During the first week of school a four-page complimentary copy was published to acquaint new students with our school and our paper. The fourteen-page tournament edition, Iiebruary 28, contained the lineups of the sixteen teams participating in the Noble-LaGrange sectional, together with much other interesting news on basketball. A total of 619 copies was sold. Again this year the SPOTLIGHT offered a free ticket to the regional to the student who most accurately doped,' the tourney. For the first time this ticket went out of the high school. The winner was Bob Moses, 7A. On April 1 the third of the special issues, the April Fool edition done in colors and filled with nonsense, went to over 300 readers at three-cents per copy. Wliile much work is necessary to produce each copy of the paper, staff members also find time for recreation. This year several potluck suppers, parties, and a weiner roast provided the necessary diversion. The SPOTLIGHT is grateful to the kind reception which is given it by its readers, and wishes to thank them all for making its production, through their cooperation, possible.

On May 1, 1940, the juniors sponsored a trip to Mexico. Included in the excursion were all the members of the junior and senior classes, the school officials, the teachers with their wives. Beautifully painted murals depicted typical Mexican scenes. These, designed by Theodosia Walsh and painted by many members of the class under the direction and supervision of Miss Sawyer and Miss Goodwin, gave to the room a true South of the Borderu atmosphere. These tangy, highly-seasoned dishes made up the menu: Aperitif de fruta Potatos Asadas Pelatos de carne Frijolies Verde Ensalada Heladoes Panecillos Mamon Cafe Nueces During the dinner Herbert Dickinson, dashingly dressed in a real Mexican costume, wandered among the tables playing Mexican songs. Besides these numbers he answered requests for popular tunes. Representing the class as hostess Ruth Thrasher sparkled in her merry Mexican manner and lingo. She introduced each number on the program with an appropriate little speech. Richard Trowbridge, junior class president. delivered the Bieuvendo twel- comejg john Wible, president of the senior class. offered the Requesta Qresponsejg Anna Kammerer, our Mexican Melody-Maker, sang in her consistently sweet way La Palomaf' Estrellita, and La Golondrinagn Helen Herberger gave a Recitacion Qrecitationjg Las Senoritas Valdes Qjosefina and Julitaj gave a delightful Jarabe Tapatio Qtap dancej. Then we really saw Mexico. Mr. C. M. Case, who had made several trips to Mexico, showed us his own colored moving pictures taken on his last visit there. He made the movie even more interesting by his description and interpretation of the scenes. After the program all the students lined up in couples for the Grand March in the large gymnasium. Many spectators watched the colorful parade of banquet gowns. XVith the music of Kay Jay and his orchestra the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. All the travelers returned home from the trip, late but happy. Page Srrvnly Tlmv' el CALENDAR SEPTEMBER School opened on September 30 after a four weeks' postponement due to infantile paralysis.

JANUARY For the first time in many years, school was held on New Year's Day. During the first few periods everyone had difficulty in trying to keep awakeg however, I think the report cards that came out in the afternoon were enough to awaken some of us to the realization that a little concen- tration on our studies might help matters. Iirom january 20 to 22 the music department gave three performances of The Count and the Coed, which proved to be a grand success in spite of the epidemic of influenza which had been :liking its rounds. PEBRAUARY On the 3rd was the Indoor Fair, the proceeds of which went to the art department. Approxi- mately S3U0 was cleared and the money will prob- ably be used to buy extra equipment for that de- partment. To the delight of everyone the first semester ended on the 7th with no exams. The seniors gave another dance on the 15thg music was furnished by the new radio-phonograph recently purchased for the school by the Girl Reserves. RIARCH The seniors' Tea Dance, given for the visitors at the tourney was far from being a failure even though the Comets were out of the running.
