Speech through dramatics, has aided our students in developing poise, con- fidence, and speech skills. Home Economics teaches our girls how to pre- pare themselves for efficient future home-makers. Miss Meyer has very efficiently directed these class activities. There is much demand for highly trained boys and girls in the husiness world. The pupils of the, commerce department have developed un- usual skills under the ahle leadership of Miss Richardson. ' X , om e ron om im M. Beekman, I. Steiner. S, Marlin. B. Zell, Miss Meyer. L.

Chemistry is most ably taught by Mr. Nichol- son. Physics has been efficiently taught by Mr. Fiscus. The library was moved to the assembly and now we have one of thc most usable libraries possible. The library is under the experienced supervision of Miss Kitsmiller. Page thirteen S. Bartlett, Mr. Nicholson, C. Burge, J. Curran, A.

Knowing the many responsibilities of Juniors. our class eler-ted a very emt-ient group of officers to guide its aetivities. They are: John Dennis. president: David Diedam. yiee-president: Phyllis Murphy. secretary. and Jlelvin Henderson. treasurer. Football eaptured Dennis. Hougland. Walker. and Nlullen while the remaining Juniors were kept busy at the 'hotdog stand during the games. Dances were sponsored by the Juniors after eaeh home game. The beautiful Homeeoming Dance with Joetta Curran. qm'-en. and Stewart Beatty. king. elimaxed the football season. Basketball season found Beatty, Dennis. Henderson. Mullen. and Xvalker on the hardwood. Spring found Beatty. Dennis. Henderson. Hutehinson. Sondgerath. and Wralker out on the einders for track. All the athletics were upheld by Jean Goldenstein. Phyllis Murphy and Rita Lutz as yell leaders. The Class has Contributed freely to the support of many aetivities: Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. Chorus. Band. Dramatic Club, F. H. A.. F. F. A., Sunshine For-iety. Hi-Y Club. Seienee Club. and 4-H. The Junior elass has oflieers in each of these and many have made outstanding records. To climax 1949. the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and most Colorful Prom were held on April 30. with the theme of G'1'll Be Seeing Youlu Page fufnty-riglzf 0147. 0l Q15 In the year. 1939. twenty-five pupils started their education at the Kentland Grade School. Most people will know these students as the Sophomore Class of today. Of these twenty-five. only ten are in the class today. ln the freshman class. however, we acquired five pupils from the parochial sehool. Through the years the class has acquired many new students. and many students have moved away. Wie were also unfortunate this year in losing two of our hest- likefl students: Phil was involved in a fatal motor-scooter accident during the first week of school. while Eleanor has spent almost the entire year in Robert Long Hospital as the result of an automohile accident. In the latter part of 1948 we ohtained our new class sweaters. Wve chose green and white as our Colors, and our sweaters are green with white numerals. Wfe have had dances. hake sales and other projects to help raise money for our treasury. because in our senior year we might plan to take a trip to Wvasliington. Uur class is very active in sports: we have niemhers participating in foothall. haskethall. track. and baseball. Each year our class enters a class tourney in which all hoys are allowed to take part.

That was the day our friends dressed the girls in pajamas. shorts. tee shirts. boots. high heels, while green ribbons were placed in braids. on fingers. and wrists. The girls carried sandbuckets and shovels to school and wore sweet smelling lifehuoy necklaces. The boys carried their favorite dolls and wore their shirts backward. complete with tie and high heels. Wie were all glamorized with war paint. That evening we were honored guests at a party held in the gym. Thus ended the day which had been either dreaded or looked forward to for so long. Wie are proud of Joetta Curran, who was elected Queen of the Homecoming Dance held last fall. This year also found many of our classmates joining the Sunshine Society. F.H.A., F.F.A.. and Hi-Y club. A number of boys went out for football, basketball, and track this year. Page thirty Cilglfl gravle CALM I I I I I I I I I I J p MJ :we - .Q iggg Row One: R. Sproull. C. Spangler. P. Hiestnnd. P.

The team won two games, tied one. and lost seven games. Most of the team had little experience and Coach Turpin used many freshmen a11d sophomores in the games. Schuh showed much promise as a sophomore. Robert Sell and Marvin Hougland did unusually well as freshmen. All the boys practiced well and trained zealously. They fought hard and nevel grave up trying. The sportsmanship shown at all times was of the highest ealiher. The followinw ho s were awarded K sweaters: Livn J. Flinn Hensley New- s Y I 1 .

Reed O at-.emo Even though the won and lost record of our Kentland Blue Devils was not impressive, the team was by far not a poor one. The team won only one while they lost 17. The squad showed fight throughout the entire season, but just lacked the fi11al punch during the closing minutes in many games. The scoring through- out the year was well balanced with the boys finishing in the following order: Flinn, Limp, Hensley and Newland ltiedj, Walke1', Hougland, Henderson, Beatty, Parr and Mullen Ltiedj, Sell, and Dennis. The Blue Devils opened at Mt. Ayr Where they got off on thc wrong foot, and couldn7t get going through the months of November, December, and January, but on February the first they traveled back to Mt. Ayr and trounced the Airdales 37-25. Then again the team was in a rut and lost four more straight. ln the Sectional, Kentland drew Wlieatheld for their first round opponent. The big floor seemed to baffle Wheatfielcfs charges, and our Blue Devils jumped to a first period lead of 17 to 1. But then Wlieatheld braced like champions to come back and win 34-25 in the closing minutes. Wlteat- field later lost the final game to Rensselaer by a 48-25 score. The chances of a good season next year are fair as we lose only five boys. Those who have left our ranks to seek new glory are John Flinn fCaptain elect J, Tom Limp, Howard Hensley, John Newland, and John Parr. The Letter Winne1's this year are: John Flinn, Tom Limp, Howard Hensley, John Newland, John Parr, Bill Walke1', Marvin Hougland, Melvin Henderson, John Dennis, Stewart Beatty, and Bob Sell, all of whom will he returning except for the previous mentioned boys who will graduate this May. Of those who graduate, four plan to go to college. At Indiana State Teachers College you can find Flinn and Hensley, while Limp plans to attend Saint Joseph College at Rensselaer, and John Parr plans to attend Ball State Teachers College. Page fifty one l CLC As spring comes the athletes' eye turn to the age old sport of track. Kentland's thinlies always have high hopes of bringing home some trophies every season. With five returning lettermen this season, consisting of Flinn, Limp, Sammons, Dennis, and Sondgerath, we were strong in most events. Some valuable underclassmen did well filling the shoes vacated by graduated stars. Track demands consistent training and long hours of practice. Many aches and pains develop but are worth it when you receive that coveted blue ribbon. The track schedule was a large one this year and provided many exciting races. So we all give our heartiest congratulations to the cindermen of Kentland High School. Row One: B. Brown. M. Henderson .l. Dennis. C. Danner. T. Mullen, D Sondgeralh, M. Hougland, G.

I I I J QPCLJQJ fo grcwfuafion Twelve short years ago. thirty-three Kentland Forty-Xiners started their school careers. Soon six years had elapsed. 111ost of which was consumed with battling childhood diseases. Then most of us entered the high school building. This climaxed our six years of struggling with shoe laces and scuffed knees. Our two years of Junior High passed swiftly. Xext we started our first year ill K. H. S. as green freshmen. Une major activity was the dreaded Initiation Day. At the end of this year the biology class enjoyed a wonderful trip to Chicago. Our sophomore year found us editing a small school paper. Our important ,lunior year camel At the beginning of the year we elected our oflicers. headed by an excellent president. Frank Mullen. Frank had big plans for our class. Although we had only thirteen cents in our treasury at the start of this year. we decided to go to Vliashington for our Senior trip. Our brains started ticking. and our football concession stand and dances were wonderful successes. Then also we ran a candy stand during the noon hour. Wvhile admiring our rings. we selected our class play. Those Wiebstersu. which was a smash hit. the first of January. During the year we served various food sales. All year long we dreamed of the glorious ,lunior prom and banquet which culminated our ,lunior year on May 1. 1948. To usher in our Senior year. we managed a successful pop stand at the Xewton County Fair. Once again our ambitious ,lunior president was re-elected. Around the last of September flashes of white and black were seen inthe halls-the Seniors had their sweaters. October found us posing for our Senior pictures. Wie decided. with the help of Hr. Smith. to publish an annual and Beverly Wfhaley was made the editor. Also the Seniors published the Campus Press under the editorship of Howard Hensley. Between serving banquets. having paper drives. hobo days. sales. and annual activities we managed to select our commencement invitations and name cards. Earlier in the year we chose our class colors. lnotto. and flower. White and black are the official Senior class colors and gardenia is our flower. Stronger Because lfnitedn, our class motto, displays the spirit of the class during the last two years under the leadership of our outstanding officers and sponsors. Page seventy seven QPCLCIQJ fo graduafion ln ,lanuary we presented our Senior play. After All ltis Springn, whieh thrilled a eapaeity erowd. ln Uetoher we had made reservations with Miller Tours for our trip to Wvash- ington and New York and during the rest of the year we talked of little else. By March we had all of the money raised and some extra. Our elass aeeonipanied hy Mr. Fiseus and Miss Mans left lientland on Saturday morning. May 21. and hy hus traveled through Indiana. Ohio. and spent the night in Pittsburgh. Many saw the Ohio river for the first time. Sunday. May 22. found us gliding along the famous Pennsylvania Turnpike through the Allegheny Mountains. live visited the Gettysburg Battlefield and in late afternoon arrived in our nationis eapital. Our home while here was the Annapolis Hotel. Up early on Momlay. we visited the capitol. the Smithsonian Institute. Wasll- ington monument. White House. Nlt. Vernon. Arlington eemetery. and Lineoln Memorial. Baltimore. Philadelphia. a trip to lndependenee Hall. and our entranee via the Lineoln Tunnel to New York oeeupied our fourth day. We spent the evening at the heautiful Stanton Hotel. A three hour boat trip. a glass topped bus tour of New York. and a visit to the Empire State Building were only three aetivities of W'ednesday's lrusy day. More sightseeing in New York and a trip through the Catskill Nlountains to Nlontieello oeeupied Thursday. Niagara Falls and staying all night in Canada were the highlights of Friday. Hay 29 we CHIIIC home via London. W'indsor. and Detroit. The graduates arrived home late after a wonderful trip which elimaxed a glorious year and an outstanding school career.

I can plainly see a small shack among the surrounding hills. which belongs to my ancient school buddy. As I pull up in front of the shack. I notice an elderly man leaning back on his old kitchen chair. I hear a plunk in the cuspidor near him. so silently I remain in my heap until I felt the steps I take will be within safe range. The hard. 1'0cky ground doesnit bother my bare feet at all, for you see I haven't worn any shoes since I left Kentland in 1950. We chattered and chewed for quite awhile. then he got out an old rusty iron box. containing old papers and magazines. The following clippings were news of the former '49'ers of Ix. H. S.
