CLASS HISTORY What's happened to our high school days? Only five years ago we were entering our 8th-grade yem, yet it seems like five days. We had trouble trying to find the right rooms at first but we were all excited and it was so much fun! In the eighth grade we chose Ioe I-lomett for president, Iris McKeever, vice president, Margie Myers, secretmyg Bob Butler, treasurer. Mrs. Lieb made a wonderful sponsor. Our motto was We'll Find a Way or Make One. Our flower was the cmna- tion, and our colors, blue mid white. Our class party was a Christmas party. When we became green Freshmen, we chose Clair Cripe, president, Ioe Homett, vice presidentg Margie Myers, secretary, mid Bob Butler, treasurer. There were 98 in our class. Eleven carrie from Wayne Center, six from Iefferson Twp. and 15 from South Milford. That year Mr. Stouder was our sponsor. Our first pmty of the year was a skating pmty. This year we were quite accustomed to the routine of high school, and why not? We were Sophomores! Miss Aungst was our sponsor with Ioe Homett as pres- identg Iames Iackson, vice presidentp Sandra Febles, secretary, Mariann Menely, treasurer. We had a gay year of parties, our first being a Come as you me party, and the second a Square Dance. Then we were Iuniors mid considered upperclass- men. We chose for our officers this year, Bob Butler, president: Amos Hall, vice president: Nannette Haley, secretcny, Bob Mory, treasurer. We were all busy get- ting ready to give the Banquet for the Seniors mid try- ing to sell as many magazines as we could. We also ordered our class rings and were very anxious to get them. It was time to stmt thinking about our annual for next year, so we elected Lois Overholser as editor and Bob Butler as business manager. We had a lot of fun getting our class play, Thin Ice, ready to give, with the help of Miss Eminger, our director. We could always look to Miss Power, our sponsor, for help. Finally the time has come that all have been look- ing for. We are Seniors! This will really be the last time we will all be together, mid we wmit to make it a good time to remember. Our class officers for this year are Bob Mory, president, Ioe Homett, vice pres- ident, Sandra Febles, secretary, Nminette Haley, treas- urer. For our class party we had a square dmice, which included a Sadie Hawkins Day Race. Our class play, Little Women, directed by Miss Robertson, was pre- sented in December, with the help of several Iuniors. Everyone has been busy getting class pictures taken, ordering announcements and name cmds, and getting measured for our caps and gowns. Graduation is close. We want to thank Miss Goodwin, our class spon- sor, for the wonderful cooperation she has given us in our last year of school. CLASS PROPHECY Oh pardon me-why if it isn't Professor Menely. I never expected to see you at the Kendallville World's Fair. lsn't this a coincidence? Say, I read where you and Professor Febles discovered a cure for cancer. Carolyn Riehm, when did you retum home? I heard that you have started a mission in Southern Siberia. Since I've retumed everyone has been talking about Krueckeberg's Kricket Circus here on the fair grounds, mid I was wondering if it could be our same Bob mid Bill that we never could tell apart. Hem ye! Hear ye! Starting in ten minutes is the great exhibition basketball game of the nation's Top Ten Thomases coached by their father, Gerald Thomas! Imagine that! lim Renkenberger is barking for Scrub Thomas' high-rmiking basketball stars. Well, Mariann, I also heard that Hmold Hoffelder, who is mmiaging the Brooklyn Dodgers, is in the stand with his star catcher, Amos Hall. The game is being televised by David Fimrdt, the chief telecastor of the BLANK network. Now, hear the band striking up. Let's go in and see if it could be Lippy Lieb mid her Labial Ladies. We'd better hurry and get our tickets. Why, there is Helen Hart selling tickets. Ladies and gentlemen! This is Bob Hillimd Hill, your BLANK network announcer, about to bring you the play-by-play broadcast. The game is about to get under way, mid there is Mayor Carteaux getting ready to throw the ball in for the first game of the season. Here is your announcer bringing you the between- halves message, conceming Duke's Delicious Dogs. Cmolyn, speaking of dogs, that reminds me, I read that Barbara Seidel has a Cat mid Dog Hospital! Yes, one of her frequent patrons is Pearl Friskney, who owns the Kennels of Friskney's Frisky Feline. Oh. let's do go out on the grounds and take a ride on Frehse's Ferris Wheel. Marim1n, wasn't that fun? We're now passing the Civic Opera house and do you hem Rose Dickerson practicing for her Carnegie Hall debut? Say, did you know that Barbara Householder is soloist with the Sons of the Pioneers? Really? I'm hungry. Let's stop in at Reecer's Ritzi Restaurmit where their specialty today is Shultz's Spanish Sauce for Swiss Steak. This food is really delicious. Do you realize some of our past classmates have really become quite re- nowned. Bob Butler mid Mike Eckhmt are building an expansion bridge across the ocean. Also, lim Iackson has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for suc- cessfully constructing the first Rocket Ship to the moon which was piloted by Paul Kuehn. Then too, Lois Overholser developed the new ma- terial Orlon, successor to Nylon. Nor we mustn't forget Barbara Rensbergefs fame in becoming the designer of clothes for all movies and Mildred Wilks styling the stars' hair. lsn't it too bad that Dick Vaughn couldn't be here for the Kendallville World's Fair, but he's running track in the Olympics in Switzerlmidf' Look, Mariann, there's Mr. Robert Mory sitting at that table. Did you know that he owns an extensive chain of grocery stores throughout the country? Yes, mid many of our group founded schools, or at least teach. There's Virginia Bogner's exclusive school for girls in Massachusetts, llse Iean Gentry's Comptom- eter school in New York, Nan Haley's modeling school in Hollywood, and Miller's Mental Institute. Yes, mid there's Ioan Thomas who is a math pro- fessor at Western, and Wally Smith teaches at Yale. How time flies! It's two o'clockg we'd better hurry if we expect to see the ag judging. Notice that huge potatog it's one foot in dimneter. Why, that's Kenneth Alexander's exhibit! Oh, and there's Iesse Iames visiting from his 10,000- acre ranch in Wyoming and looking over the fair ex- hibits. With him is Hilton Paulus with his grmid cham- pion steer imported from Baluchistmif' Here comes Iantha Lambright. Oh, Carolyn, she's married now! Is she? Well, so are several of the other girls. Of course you know that Beverly Landgraf, Betsy De- Belius, Doris Mmti, Io Ellen McCormick, and Margmet Scott have been married for several years. Let's leave the fair ground and go up to the main section of Kendallville. How about an atomic sundae at Donley's Devastating Drugstore? All right, but first, Carolyn, l'll get my car out of Mendenhall's garage. lt's a Diehm's Duick just off the assembly line was designed by Howard Diehm. Let's turn on the radiog it's about time for Sallie Hedda Hopper Gardner mid her most recent gossip. Who's that Miss Gardner is speaking about, whose horse won the race at Steeple Down Chase in England? Could it be Charlie Walsh of our class of '50? Yes, Marimin, mid Rex Caselmmi is his jockey. Oh, Miss Gardner says that Clair Cripe, our foreign ambassador to Slovobia, has returned to the United States with his private secretary, Iulian Ann Garrison. Listen, Carolyn-Ianet Leonard's art exhibition is opening at Gerbersville, formerly called Corunnaf' My goodness, Ice Crooner Homett is having his premier for his latest picture at Merkling's Millionaire Resort at Palm Beach. Now it's time for Miss Gardner to leave the air mid for the program, 'A Day in the Life of Maxine Day,' to begin. Isn't this a lovely drive! Oh, look, there's the shop of Colemmfs Corsets for Classy Chassis. Incidentally, that's where Phyllis Greenmmi works. Watch out, Carolyn, there's a cop following us. Oh, I'm sorry, officer, I didn't realize I was driving so fast. Why, if it isn't Mert Gienger! Here's Kaiser's hotelg let's spend the night here. I hear Beverly Lane operates the cocktail bar in the hotel. Wait a minute until I get a newspaper. Say' it's edited by Elma Windle and Sara Wagner. This certainly has been an eventful day. Wasn't it interesting to see all our former classmates, Cmolyn? Yes, mid to see how the town has grown and how it involves the lives of our friends. I hope we can see all of our clasmates again soon.

Upon entering the camp of the 49-ers each guest became a prospector looking for fortune. The walls and stage of the banquet room were appropriately decorated with pictured scenes from the old west. Palm trees and clus- ters of grapes were scattered about the room and in one corner stood an old-fashioned cover- ed wagon. On the tables were gold doilies and miniature covered wagons filled with gold nuggets. Pins representing steers' heads which were given as souvenirs formed part of the table decorations. A delicious feast prepared under the direc- tion of Miss Vardaman was served by sopho- more girls wearing long skirts and brightly colored sunbonnets.

The choir, under its new director, Mr. Boegli, has had a very successful year. A new feature was added to the Christmas activities of the choir-they went caroling. They started the evening by singing at the hos- pital and ended it at Mr. Brumbaughls. This was enjoyed by everyone who took part in it. It has become an annual custom for the choir to go through the halls of the school singing Christmas carols and to participate in the Christmas program in the auditorium. Of course, there were the usual events: sing- ing at the Good Friday service: National Music Week concert: regular auditorium programs: and the choir's final appearance was at the Baccalaureate service.

Many band members have played solos for special community and school programs: ensembles have been organized and they, tog. have played for special programs. These give students experience in group and solo playing: and. along with this experience, comes the abilitv to perform better with the band.

In addition to student talent, five artists are chosen from the School Assembly Service. Kendallville High School is very proud of its auditorium and works hard to present fine programs. A brief summary of many of the programs is given here. Sept. 9 Educational opportunities at K. H. S. was the topic of first auditorium program. Jim Hetrick, representing Father Time, was master of ceremonies. Mr. Brumbaugh welcomed the new students and Bob But- ler told of the school activities and invited students to participate. Sept. 23 Students and teachers told of their summer experiencesg many had traveled. Sept. 30 Alice and Herald Allen, radio and musical artists, demonstrated how sound effects are created in leading radio pro- grams. Oct. 7 The program was dedicated to the month of October. Many poems and skits, honoring James W. Riley, were presented by students. Oct. 11 Mr. Emmit Belzer gave an informative lecture on telephony. Oct. 26 'Cheerleader tryouts and election were held. Bob Butler, Suzie Trowbridge and Jim Hetrick were elected. Nov. 11 Freshmen presented the program, consisting of music, demonstrations and readings. Nov. 16 Indians and their habits were dis- cussed by Mr. Johnston Craig, local Boy Scout leader. A group of Boy Scouts then presented several Indian ceremonial dan- ces. Donald Swank gave his famous Eagle Dance and Hoop Dance. Dec. 2 The program started off with some musical numbers after which Mr. Stouder showed a movie. Behind the Nation. Dec. 9 Little Women, a three act play, was presented by the Juniors and Seniors. Dec. 14 This was a special program in which the students picked the numbers they wanted to hear. They proved to be very interesting and humorous. Page T irty-Six AUDITORIUM TODAY? Dec. 22 This was our annual Christmas carol service. Jan. 6 Dick Grieting and his partner Tom Mullineux showed their skill on the tram- poline. After showing the steps in learning, they chose three students to try their skill and demonstrate that a beginner can have fun on a trampoline. Jan. 13 We found hidden talent in the Talent Program presented by members of each class. Jan. 27 The theme of this program was Amer- ican literature. Students portrayed various characters in literature by means of skits and readings. Feb. 3 The Melody Four were -presented as a special program. Their Swiss Bell ringing was very beautiful and unusual but we al- so enjoyed their singing. Feb. 10 Since February is the birth month of two of our presidents, the choir, under the direction of Mr. Boegli, sang t'This is My Country. Jeanette Bourne played a wire recording of I Can Hear It Now. This was a recording of actual news broadcasts during and since World War II. Feb. 17 Students who were to participate in the music contest at Fort Wayne. presented a musical program. Feb. 21-Mar. 3 Pep sessions were held on both dates to teach new yells and get the fans in the Spirit for Sectional and Regional tourneys. Mar. 10 So You Don't Like Poetry was the lecture given by Mr. Webster. He found that the students did like it. Mar. 17 Since it was St. Patrick's Day, an Irish program, including a skit by high school pupils, a movie showing Ireland and a talk by Mrs. Frances Fisher who recent- ly visited Ireland, was presented. Mar. 24 One act plays were presented by Miss Robertson's Speech classes. Mar. 31 Since the next day was April 1, the April Fool Program seemed very fitting.

Another project which brought variety into the usual meetings ot stunts and one- BACKSTAGE LIGHTING act plays was a series ot classes. Lessons in lighting, make-up, and acting were presented by Dean Botchuck and Oakley Barrett, Miss Erninger and Miss Robertson, respectively. Finally, in the spring the club celebrated the tenth anniversary ot the auditorium by repeating the dedication play, Our Town. Wig and Paint hopes to start a fund to be used for cleaning and repairing equipment which is beginning to show the effect of ten years of daily wear.

It was written by Thorton Wilder and produced by Miss Robertson. The name of our town is Grover's Corners, N. H., just over the line from Massachusetts. The first act shows a day in our town. Early morning activities in various places in Grover's Corners are shown. Then we are carried into the houses of the Gibbs' and Webb's in time for breakfast and are taken through one entire day in the lives of these good people. In the evening while Emily and George are yelling back and forth from their respective upstairs windows concerning their studies, many ladies of the town are attending choir rehearsal. On the way home from practice familiar gossip- ing of Mrs. Soames can be heard, concern- ing Simon Stimson, the choir director, who drinks. Three years have gone by when the sec- ond act opens. This act might be entitled Love and Marriage for it concerns the love affair between young George Gibbs and little Emily Webb, As is often characteristic of those soon to be married, Emily and George were at first frightened to think of beginning a new life. However, after being reconciled, they were married in an impres- sive service without any doubts concerning their future. As we once again look in on our town nine years have passed. We are led to the cemetery on the hill where many of the town people we have come to know so well are resting. Into their midst is led Emily, who has twice since been made a mother and has died in the last childbirth. She is a little timid at first, a little wishful to go back to life to live again with her me- mories. She makes an attempt to re-live a certain day but is shown how impossible it is. Emily returns back up the hill content with the fact that the past cannot be re-lived. Page Forty-Three DRAMATIC LETTER 'Cf' was if L 3 ' L ,Mfg Q. ww The K. H. S. dramatic award in the form of a school letter was presented to each of the above people. The person who wears the drav matic letter is rightfully proud of it for it is the symbol of approximately one hundred fifty hours of hard work: this work may include not only acting, but backstage work, leadership and many other essential tasks. The first winner of this letter in the 1949- 1950 group was Betsy DeBelius following her work in As You Like It. Carolyn Riehm, Mary Jo Carteaux, and James Jackson won their letters because of their work in Thin Ice. Four more dramatic students, Sandra Fables, Mariann Menely, Clair Cripe, and Da- vid Moses, earned their ,letters for the work they did in Little Women. The last to join the group were Kenneth Freiburger and Michael ickhart after completing their work in Our own.' Page Forty-Four PIO EER GLORY By dawn's early light, what do we see? is the theme song that many times comes into the minds of those twenty-two students of Kendallville High School, who participated in the Pioneer Glory pageant last summer. This historical pageant, presented in Ross- Ade Stadium at Purdue University, was pro- duced and directed by Howard Tooley. The his- tory of Indiana's progress from its beginning to the present time was gloriously portrayed for ten nights by two hundred fifty students chos- en by outstanding High School directors from over twenty Indiana towns. During the time of rehearsing and present- ing the play, the students were housed at the Bunker Hill dormitory and were served delic- ious meals in the Cary Hall cafeteria. In their spare time, they could go swimming, play ten- nis, look over the campus, sit in the cool lounge and play games or even go into Lafayette to a movie. Specially planned entertainment includ- ed a formal reception for the governor, a for- mal dance and a picnic at Columbia Park. There really was never a dull moment for any- one. In a pageant made up of music, ballet, marching and dramatic interludes, Kendallville High School students directed by Miss Robert- son, had some excellent parts. Historical char- acters like George Washington, Uncle Sam, Abraham Lincoln, and Governor Morton were realistically taken by Clair Cripe, Art Flick- inger, Jim Maloon, and Bob Miller respective- ly. Jim Jackson, Reeve Whitson, Jim Maloon and Bob Miller all had Speaking parts which were spoken into a microphone of the Dublic address system. Much humor was added by Kenny Frei- burger as a drunken hunter at a square dance and Beverly Landgraff as a domineering wife leading her husband around the circus grounds. While Strolling Through the Park One Day was the background music played while Kath- leen Buuck and Betty Stephens, as maids, wheeled baby carriages across the stage. Pion- eers, nurses and sweethearts of soldiers were played by Carolyn Riehm, Mary Jo Carteaux. Betsy DeBeliuS. Elizabeth Thrapp, Gail Greil- ing, Elizabeth Knight and Marilyn Axel. To show characters of different books written by Indiana authors, Iantha Lambright was Alice of Old Vincennes. Jim Hetrick was Abe Martin, and Sandra Febles, That Old Sweetheart of Mine. One of the highlights of the dances was Donald Swank's Eagle dance which was direct- ed bv Mr. Browman of Kendallville. The students received a certificate stating they were members of the original cast of Pioneer Glory, however, they don't need the certificate to remind them of this Wonderful experience.

The Comets' tournament luck was a little better than the past few years. The Com- ets lost to Nappanee for the second straight year in the New Year's Day Tournament. Kendallville won the sectional for the first time since 1947. They defeated a little but mighty team from Brighton for the crown. We were later defeated in the first game of the Regional by Auburn. The team averaged forty-eight poinfts per game against forty-two for the opposition. Three boys will be lost by graduation - - Mert Gienger, Joe Hornett, and Jerry Thomas - - taut the Comets may be a very strong team in 1 51.

When we look at the finished portrait we meet an individual with character and personality. A renown painter, Kay Aitch Ess, has painted many true life pictures and here is one ot the best. This is Miss Francis Miller, the girl's physical education instructor and the G. A. A, advisor. Kay Aitch Ess has studied her for three years and in the picture G,A. A. members see a good sport dressed in shorts with a whistle around her neckg a true friend and teacher with a hearty smile, a sense of humor, a helping hand and a word of cheer and encouragement, Below are the able leaders ot the Girls cake sale, a dance and various other enter Athletic Association Under their leadership tainment.

Page Seventy .A. A. Here are the girls in the Girls Athletic As- sociation who have earned at least 50 points and become regular members of G. A. A. These girls meet twice a week, every Monday night after supper and every Wednesday after school, to engage in various games and sports. The point system is simple. but it encour- ages attendance and rewards the girls whc strive for achievement. Each girl may earn ten points for participating in each sport six timesl and ten points are elven for a passing grade on achievement tests. The picture below shows all the girls sports in K. H, S. except bowling which was introduced for the first time this year, Class letters are awarded for 150 pointsg a 'K' for 250 points and a State wall plaque for 350 points. These awards are made at the end of the school year on award day. A successful cake sale was the first activ- ity on the G, A. A. calendar this year, it gave a boost to the treasury. But more money was needed, so the girls then divided into four teams and sold plastic all-purpose bags. The team that sold the most bags was rewarded bp a party given by the losine teams in the little gym on March 24. The eirls entertained thc boys at this party and square duncine as xvell as round dancing highlighted the evening. Miss Miller was asked to serve as a dis' trict chairman for thc State G. A. A, oraaniza- tion of which the G. A. A. of Kendallville was ii member again this year. The year closed with an picnic at Miss Mil- ler's cottage at Syracuse, Page Sever-ity'One BASKETBALL - FAVORITE SPORT Page Seve nfy-Two GLLEY B LL PL YD Y The pictures on the preceding page show G. A. A.'s favorite sport, basketball. Girls' basketball isn't so well known as boys' today, but perhaps that is because of the difference in the rules for the two sports. However, the game can be plenty rough. All the girls cry and groan until Miss Miller starts basketball and then they still cry and groan because more than once each must go to the nurse's office to get a finger bandaged or a bruise relieved. But still, it is the sport the girls enjoy most. The G. A. A. volley ball playday was held at Kendallville this year. The two preceding years it was held at Columbia City. Two teams .if lJlh .

Auburn was the only undefeated teamg while Kendallville won all their games except the two they lost to Auburn. After the games in the morning refresh- ments were served and entertainment followed in the auditorium. After the games in the after- noon, an all star team was picked from the var- ious school teams to play the teachers. Who won? The teachers, of course. All the G. A. A. girls are looking forward to another playclajv next year. Page Seventv-Thfe-2 GIRLS EARN POINTS Page Seve nfy-Four DRIVERS OF TOMORROW Last year for the first time in the history of K. H. S., students were given the opportun- ity to learn to drive an automobile as a part of their high school experiences. This drivers edu- cation and training course is made practical by the dual controlled car pictured above. Preliminary class work concerns state rules and regulations, proper driving attitudes, and the qualities of a courteous and skillful driver. The student is then given behind-the-wheel driving instruction which gives him experience nw- 'mm in actual driving situations. From the time he starts the engine until he has mastered parallel parking, the student becomes increasingly a- ware of the need for better drivers. Students who learn to drive well in the training course today should be among the best drivers of to- morrow. Classes are taught by Miss Miller and Mr. Stouder. The following students have for will have? completed the training course during this year: Bell, Della Biddle, Doris Biddle, Deloris Bogner, Mary Botchuck, Jeanne Browand, Kathleen Brundage, Virginia Cox, Margaret DeLong, Betty Dobbins, Everett Donley, Hazel Dukes, Cleo Fisher.
