May we say that we shall never forget our teachers, our friends, and the wonderful experiences and relationships we've known here. Together we have shared little fears and anxieties, and tpgether we've known joy and gladness. lt is the sincere hope of each and every senior that this book-a product of our efforts--will serve as a bond between us and our own Alma Mater. May you read these pages and find sweet, happy hours of reminiscence for? A Memories are treasures. No one can steal. O I During Miss Bunn's first year at Monroe High School, she has been recognized as one of the best teachers ever to enter our doors. Her days are filled with her classes of com- mercial subjects and other various activities. She is the most capable teacher in this field, and she has been a perfect example to all her students. For being such an understanding, cheerful, helpful person, and for advising this yeor's Monocle we dedicate this book to her in recognition of the splendid work she has done. MISS SARA BUNN Mr, Claude Barker Mr. Joseph lleek Mr. liveretl Switzer Mr. Ralph Hlglsingter Mr. Robert Matson The l,emon Township Board of Ed- ucation represents the people of this township in the affairs of school life. They are a great aid to us by using their combined efforts to better our education. Our thanks to this governing body for helping Monroe students to prepare for their chosen vocations. The board is composed of Mr. Claude D. Barker, President: Mr. Ralph Hel singer. Vice President: lVlr. Robert Mat son,: Mr. Everett Switzer: Dr. M. A Boyd whose term expired in December and Mr. Joseph Heck, who is the new member on the Board. ' Dr. M. A. Boyd l.. K owfko -Q00 vb- O0 -Qxummo 1-550201 :B vw -POZPN 0--1533157027 KD Zz I bmw f I very capable leadership and guidance of Mr. C. W. Young. His administrative influence and school abilities are exercised over all of the Lemon Township Schools. His numerable tasks keep him occupied, but he is never too busy to make personal contacts with Monroe School where his office is located. C, W. YOUNG STELLA PAUL HAZEL HANNAH Miss Stella Paul is Mr. Young's efficient secretary, taking care of the many details in the head office of Lemon Township Schools. Also working in the head office of the Superintendent is Mrs. Hazel Hannah, Clerk of the Board of Education. All the finan- cial records are taken care of by Mrs. Hannah, who is very I I competent. i Monroe has long 'existed and grown under the I I Mr. Benner, our principal, is an ingenuous per- son who has succeeded in carrying out the pol- icies of our school system. Making our school a pleasant place in which to be , entails hundreds of mundane duties, is a 24-hour task, and carries with it, many responsibilities. Mr. Ben- ner's efforts do not pass unnoticed and are ap- preciated by the student body of Monroe. C. H. BENNER LAVERNE WEST VIOLET SIMPSON Things run smoothly in the office under the efficiency of Violet Simpson and LaVerne West. Day by day they take care of the many intricacies of a school office. Both Violet and LaVerne are graduates of Monroe High School and are liked by all. The School has benefited from the efforts of these secretaries. .I gas 7 MR, MAX ROSSELOT-A man with many duties-that's Mr. Rosselot. Athletic Manager, Attendance Officer, Coach of the Junior Class Play, and Sciology teacher are the titles given to this capable teacher. Mr. Rooselot has taken a great interest in Monroe students and is liked by all. MR. MARTIN ARMBRUSTER - New to the halls and rooms of Monroe is Mr. Armbruster. He is best known as the coach for our high school football team. Besides football, he coaches our junior high basketball teams, baseball team, and also teaches physical education and health. MR. DILLARD ARMENTROUT-Since joining the Mon- roe faculty at the beginning of the school year, Mr. Armen- trout has found time not only to teach the students mathe- matics which includes algebra, geometry, and general math. but also to assist with the hard-working crew of gridiron boys. MISS PHYLLIS AVEY-Another new name on the roll call this year is Miss Avey. Skilled in not one but two fields Miss Avey has taught the art students to appreciate the value of fine art. She also teaches French I and II. MISS SARA BUNN-Monroe has profited this year by hav- ing Miss Bunn in its midst. Miss Bunn is one of the commer- cial teachers, teaching secretarial practice, shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping II, She is the capable adviser for the 1948 Monroe Monocle. .ers vmm MISS RUTH BUSSEER--A familiar personality to the stud- ents of Monroe is Miss Busseer. Much credit for the fine English department here at ,Monroe must be given to this in- structor. When the juniors find themselves amidst difficulties in English II, you can count on Miss Busseer to be there ready and willing to help. She also instructs a class in dramatics, and this year she directed the Senior Class Production, Th-2 Late Christopher Bean. MISS ALICE CHILDS-Beowulf and Macbeth, L'Allegro and ll ,Penseroso-familiar names to Miss Childs and she has made them familiar to her class in English IV. Her duties -ex- tend beyond the English department for she also is full- time Librarian. ,- MRS. CAROLYN DENMAN-Mrs. Denman came to Mon- roe this year, with the responsibility of teaching a large class of sophomores, English and literature. With exceptional abil- ity, Mrs. Denman has contributed to the scholastic standards of Monroe in English and Algebra II. MR. VIRGIL DENT-From commercial subjects to indus- trial arts--quite a change you say? Mr. Dent has proven his value in each field and has ably taken over the Industrial Arts department. He has made many improvements in the shop course and the boys under him have benefited greatly from his knowledge and experience. MISS PHYLLIS FLORY-Miss Plory began this school year teaching World Georgraphy, English and speech. She changed to become the teacher of Girls' Physical Ed. and Health. She is also Dean of Ciirls, in charge of the restroom monitors, and advised the Junior and Senior High Cheerleaders. Monroe is glad to have such a good addition to its teaching staff. MRS. RUTH GUERNSEY--Attention has been devoted to the struggles of Caesar and the picturesque Spain in Latin and Spanish classes under the tutorship of Mrs. Guernsey. In addi- tion to languages, she also teaches World History. eaciew MISS HARRIET ILSE-Miss Ilse is the new director of all the vocal music classes. She has both Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus besides all the elementary and junior high vocal music classes. The Christmas Program and the Musical Revue are just two results of her experienced efforts. MRS. DORIS JONES-You must learn diction and pronun- ciation for good speech, and Mrs. Jones certainly did her part in keeping the speech makers on their toes. While at Mon- roe she was also the instructor in a class of world geography and English IX. Monroe lost a fine addition to the faculty when Mrs. Jones left at the end of the first semester. A MR. FRANK LUDEWIG-Anytime during the day you can find Mr. Ludewig in the mechanical drawing room hard at work. Through his efforts the boys of Monroe have become adept in the field of ngineering drawing. MR. DARWIN KIMBLE-Interested in the field of science? Then see Mr. Kimble, instructor of chemistry and physics. It seems that test tubes, beakers, little things called unknowns rapidity with which light and heat travels, are the chief inter- ests of Mr. Kimble and he has made them interesting to scien- cific-minded students, - MISS MARIE MORGAN-Let me introduce you to the in- structor of the Monroe Guidance Classes, Miss Marie Morgan. She came to Monroe just three years ago, and since that time has done a commendable job in guidance. MR. DOUGLAS PALMER-The credit for our outstanding newspaper, The Monroe Mercury, can be given to Mr. Palmer. Besides exceptional work in the field of journalism, Mr. Pal- mer teaches the American History course. Wag! MISS JUANITA SCHOFF-The newest member of the facul- ty at Monroe is Miss Schoff, who is the teacher of English IX, world geography, and speech. Shel began teaching here at the beginning of the second semester capably filling the vacancy left by Mrs. Jones. I MRS. VIRGINIA SHIPLEY-Mrs. Shipley, another new teacher at Monroe teaches commercial subjects such as practical bookkeeping, general business, business arithmetic and busi- ness law. She has done a great deal to get commercial students started on the right path to a business career. MR. HERMAN SLAYMAN-New to Monroe this year but not new in the game of left, right, left, right, and counter- march! That's the new band instructor, Mr. Slayman, who is constantly striving for a bigger and better band and has put forth a constant effort to interest elementary students in in- strumental music. Mr. Slayman also teaches several classes of general music, a new course in the curriculum and is a senior advisor, besides. , L., MR. WILFRED THIES- Absence makes the heart grow fonc1er -we wonder if that is the reason Mr. Thies decided to come back to good old Monroe. He returned to the task of coaching the Monroe Hornets and ably turned out a basket- ball team. Mr. Thies also teaches biology and coaches the track team, MISS RUTH YINGER-4You say you love to eat? Then see Miss Yinger and her home economics girls. Through her ef- forts this department has greatly expanded and now promises to be another Monroe pride, The course has proven to be both general and specific for the girls are taught the in's and out's of proper diets, cooking, sewing, and general home management. 1 - MRS. MARGARET YOUNG-This year Mrs. Young has expanded her interest to include the scientific field. She teaches general science and also keeps the seniors on their toes, in senior math. Mrs. Young has been a member of Monroe's fac- ultv for quite a few years, and has been a great aid in keeping up the standards of Monroe. Z MISS AMELIA II-ILE-Miss Ihle has accepted the responsi- bilities of the elementary principal this year. She is home room teacher of the eighth grade. She teaches English and history to th: seventh and eighth grades. MRS. MARY BENNER-Mrs. Benner is per- haps a new name but certainly not a new per- sonality to Monroe this year. She was former- ly Miss Mary Kautz. Changing from sixth grade to fourth grade, she now instructs younger students, but gives them the same careful at- tention and diligent consideration of the past. 30 MRS. MABELLE CRIST-In preparing her students for entry into junior high school Mrs. Lrist, the sixth grade in- structor, strives to develop sounder, more secure education. Interested in Monroe sports you will find Mrs. Crist on the first row at all sporting events. MRS, MARJORIE DENT-Perhaps we should say teaching runs in the family for Mrs. Dent is the wife of our indus- trial arts' teacher. She is the third grade teacher and is pro- foundly interested in elementary education. lt is her constant effort that encourgaes these young Monroeites. MISS MARGARET HEMSLEY-Miss Hemsley extends her guidance to students of the seventh and eighth grades and su- pervises a seventh grade homeroom. She also takes care of a scnior study hall each day. MRS. NELL MACCREADY-Monroe scholars come big and small but the tiniest of them all are under the guiding hand of Mrs. Nell MacCready, first grade teacher. Patience and understanding of human nature is a requirement to work with this age group. These qualities plus many more are Mrs. Mac- Cready's assets. MRS. JEAN NEU--Picking up just where she left off last year, you will find Mrs. Neu in the same place. She carries the responsibilities of many little second grade live-wires. She strives for special interest and enjoyment plus the qualities of a sound early education. MRS. ETI-IEI. SIMMONS--Mrs. Simmons has proven to be another Monroe stand-by for she is back again this year with the same interest which she has displayed in the past. Thus. in her we see another link in the elementary educational sys- tem with the fifth graders, recipients of some very fine know- ledge and training through her continued efforts.

Recognized as one of the finest of Mon- roe organizations is the Boys Glee Club. We have only to hear this group, but once to recog- nize its wide range of ability and talent. This group strives for confarmity, qual- ity, beauty, in expression and tone. The Glee Club has sung at various school affairs, for assembly programs, for outside or- ganizations, and graduation ceremonies. The Boys Glee Club is under the able di- rection of Miss Harriet llse, vocal music in- structor. page forty-or -I SWWCES 771 II' lhese boys, Virgil Jones, Jack Williaitis, Jim Kontnier. .lack Graft. and Roger Stewart, are messengers who run errands for the school.

Carrying out the plan of last year, Joan Crist, editor, and the respective page editors have published a bi-weekly issue. Under the able direction of G. Douglas Palmer the staff has functioned successfully throughout the year. Da' Along with the other literary publications of Monroe High School, we find that the Jun- ior Class has, to a certain degree, established .1 tradition with their -junior anthology, the Monroe Doctrine. 'lihis publication provides an excellent out- let for creative writing and often times nu- Lnoxvn ahiliti-es are discovered. All students yytltlt' ltrlyl 'l.'l-ghl from grades one through twelve may partici- pate in the prose and poetry contest. and all entries are given careful consideration by the staff, Prizes are awarded in various divisions for the besr selections. Miss Ruth M. Busseer, English super! visor and faculty advisor, is credited with the origination and continuation of the anthology.

Quick planning and activity turned the usual gym into a festive May flower garden and at the end of the rose path We found a one-time stage converted to the throne of a queen. The senior girls, in lovely formal attire made a beautiful setting as the queen, Donna Dazey, gowned in exquisite white organdy against her natural dark coloring, ascended to her throne as Queen of May. She was attended LL page fifty-four by two other lovely senior girls, Gerry Williams and Dorothy Ramseyer. Not until Patsy Smallwood, junior, and choice of the senior girls, placed the traditional crown of May flowers upon her head did the queen receive the honor bestowed upon her. The ceremony continued as best as facil- ities would permit in the usual festive manner. Honoring the queen and her attendents, musi- cal organizations, the triple trio, and soloist Ruby Jenkins contributed to the celebration. The program ended leaving the onlookers with the usual feeling of simplicity, but also beauty and richness.

Lack of experience and practice were big factors in the Hornet's loss. MONROIL l34NOR'THRIDGE 6 A touchdown in the last few minutes of play by Herb Trimble provided the sufficient mar' gin for the Hornets to defeat the Polar Bears of Northridge I3-0. Danny Baker tallied the other touchdown in the first quarter on an end run. MONROIE lI4I7RANKI.lN 0 The lfranklin Wildcats were the opposition as the Monroe eleven made it two in a row. Herb Trimble led he offensive attack for the Hornets with two touchdowns as the entire Monroe squad played a brilliant de- fense to whitewash the Wildcats I3-O. OSBORN BATH Z6-MONROE Z VJith the Osborn Bath Flyers scoring three touchdowns in the second half, they won easily over the Monroe team 26-2. Monroe's best effort was a touchback which came late in the third quarter.

This ended the football season for the Monroe Hornets with a two win. seven loss record. page fifty-nin I- page sixty I I BOB BUNNELL Playing his last year at center, Bob proved to be one of the mainscays for the Hornets. Bob., a valuable man to the team. was a hard worker at all times. JIM HUFFMAN Ready! Set! Hip l-2-3-41 Yes, those are the words of our quarterback. Jim Huff- man.I Play caller, ball handler. safety man. and passer are all terms that identify .Iim. a senior and an outstanding gridiron athlete. BlI.I. WHlTESEl.I. A hard driving fullback was found this year in Bill, a junior. who filled the position of Herb Trimble. Bill should be a key man in the Horner squad next season. BUD McGlLL Bud. this year's left guard, can best be iden- t.fied as an aggressive. scrappy. and hard working senior lad. Bud has downed many opponents in their attempt to break through his side of the line. RALPH GUERNSEY Another senior and another loss to Monroe. Ralph. at his position at guard. was a rough and tough determined ball player. His motto is They shall not pass! HAROLD IRVING Harold was the fellow that took care of the left side of the line at end. Harold. makf ing use of his height. proved his ability by reaching into the air and hauling em down. He. too. is a senior. WIl-BUR KING Wilbur is the fellow that caused the op- posing backfield many a headache. This sturdy. well-built tackle was one of the outstanding men on this year's squad. Yes, another senior! JUNIOR HUFFMAN Malving his initial debut in football as a senior. Junior made the varsity squad and saw a great .deal of action at the end posi. tions. He displayed very good football and was an aggressive lad. ,becc'cz!c'4z'c DAVE MEYERS Dave. who switched from his two previous years at guard to right half back this year. was without a doubt, the fastest broken field runner of the squad. Being another ' senior. his going will be a great loss to s the team. n I CALVIN BRADEN At left tackle this year we found a husky 200 lb. senior fellow in the person of Cal- vin Braden. With his educated foot, Calvin proved very valuable at the place kicking line. BILL BERRY Light but loaded is about the best ex' pression that can be said about our right guard, Bill Berry. His ability to charge through that line makes his loss difficult to the squad. BOB WALCK Bob, a substitute quarterback this year. :aw action in many games and did a good job irii all of them. Bob, another senior, was also gi finf: passer. HAROLD STEWARD This is the Harold that 'took care of the right side of the line, at end. Harold, was a good defensive end and succeeded in stop- ping many end runs. Phewl Another senior! JIM MASON Jim, a substitute guard, was perhaps one of the ,lightest men on the team. Jim made use of his quickness by submarining them. DAVE BROOKS Another first year member and senior was Dave Brooks. Dave saw action in many contests and proved himself very capable of holding down the tackle position. DANNY BAKER Danny. a light. smart, fleet-footed left half- back, did much of the ball carrying and be- came noted for his wide-sweeping end runs.
