Mishawaka High School - Miskodeed Yearbook (Mishawaka, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1943 volume:

This brief story of the year is a publication of the senior class of Mishawaka High School, Mishawaka, Indiana. : Wy Y) z ITTERSWEET BRANCH LIBRARY MISHAWAKA, INDIANA Suffers from the Navy Blues The American school, intensely aware ol the needs of a world at war, has responded magnificently in answer to those needs. Educators know that the schools carry heavy responsibilities: first, to help win this war, and second, to work toward a worth- while plan for the future. Superintendent Emmons studies innumerable government and national educational bulletins pertain- ing to adaptation of the school curriculum. As a result, fresh emphasis has been placed on science, fundamental mathemat- ics, machine and electric shop work, and physical fitness. A new course in pre-dero- nautical training has been introduced. At the request of state authorities, a war counselor, Mr. Darl Wood, was appointed. His task is to ensure full coordination be- tween school and armed forces and offer advice to boys near draft age, especially those who may be suited to the V pro- grams. Miss Perkins, senior class sponsor, must be sure that her charges, while they incorporate into their schedules new re- quirements, do not overlook state require- ments for graduation or college entrance demands if they wish to enter college. Her work has not been simplified by accelera- tion of courses which allows a student to leave high school before graduation time and thus have as much college training as possible before he is drafted. Mr. Russell R. Myers, principal on leave. In the midst of planning and organizing new classes and checking student health preparatory to workouts in physical fitness, Page 4 his decision to enter the United States Navy. In No- vember he entered prelimi- nary irdining courses al Dartmouth College, leaving the faculty to carry on with- out his excellent guidance. Mr. Emmons roused himself from his papers and his con- ferences to call on jovial omc. pooular Mr “Frank Chapman to act as princi- pal. Mr. Harry Hatcher, comptroller and commercial department head, became his assistant. Mr. Chapman was not unprepared for the task, for he has been assist- ant principal for three years and knows the discipline angle thoroughly. Further- more, Miss’ Jean Cravens, dean of girls and English department head, carries heavy administrative re- sponsibility in which she has shown herself extreme- ly capable. Principal Myers announced Clerk, Helen Weinkauf; Secretary to Principal, Ruth Heeter; Secretary to Board of Education, Ida L. Betts; Secretary to Superintendent, Audrey Sweaney; Clerk, Madeline Bock. Assistant Harry Hatcher and Acting Principal Frank W. Chapman. Superintendent P. C. Emmons. Dean of Girls Jean Cravens. Urges Physical and Mental Fitness Theodore Correll divides his time between Main Junior and high school. By September of this year, Eldon Schalliol, instructor in English and social science, had been taken by the draft. Soon after, the Navy parade began. Raymond F. Struck, basketball coach and instructor in health, Arthur Nygard of the social science department, and Maurice Kuhn, biology specialist, were lured away by handsome blue uniforms and Navy commis- sions. Edwin Clarke of the machine shop left at the end of the first semester to give industry a lift. Teachers as a whole have become scarce; men who teach are virtually unobtainable. So Mr. Emmons has had to “borrow from Peter to pay Paul.” Mrs. Maurice Kuhn helped out until spring vacation, then left to join her husband. Mr. Robert Warring and Mr. Earl Stine were transferred from Main Junior School and Mr. Teaching isn't what it used to be. Teachers are asked to teach more things in less time. In step with new requirements and in view of the fact that students spend less time on the bench- es before leaving for college or a part time job, existing courses must submit to careful evalu- tion before they are boiled down or stream- lined. The English department is leading the way in that direction. Furthermore, teachers supervise and encourage defense stamp sales and all sorts of drives. They form the task force for the government rationing program. Early morning and noon classes are becoming more common. Shop teachers might as well move in for most of them carry on in night school after the rest have called it a day. SEATED: Lynetta Wilson, Helen Stoddart, Jean Cravens, Virginia Martin.

STUDENTS Carry Increased Kesponsibility With Mr. Broman elected chairman to suc- ceed Mr. Kuhn and Dick Wardell replacing Walter Schlegel, the Board of Control goes the usual pace supervising school finances. But the Student Council is growing as many arms as an octopus. As soon as students stopped wor- rying about limitations on their authority and began to do things, they were up to the eyes in work. Hall traffic was improved early in the year when a one way stair system was intro- Miss Wilson's successful management of the football concessions gave the council their first money in pocket and with it they instituted badly needed dance classes and frequent mix- er dances. Odd jobs, like the Red Cross drive among the students and plans for a service flag, have fallen to them. They inspect lockers daily, furnish hall guides and are working on library discipline problems. They meet every two weeks, and are rapidly gaining stature as student leaders. Miss Wilson has replaced Mr. Kuhn as adviser. duced — with students on guard to remind offenders.

Class offices usually bring more honor than hard work to those elected but this year’s jun- iors have really had to wrestle with prom plans. Now that’ they've made up their minds, the whole thing is greatly simplified — no dec- orations exgept the crystal chandelier in the Palais Royale and the girls’ formal dresses; at- tendance limited to the present student body in spite of all the dope on out of town dates.

Yearbook editors were delighted by Mr. Myers’ suggestion that all underclass pictures be taken in one day. Happily, that day dawned very bright and fair. Every hour, English teach- ers shepherded their flocks onto the front lawn so efficiently that pictures were snapped far in advance of schedule. Except for a few shy or stubborn freshmen who waited to be coaxed, underclassmen appear as of their first semester English class. Juniors appear first, naturally. Mr. Wood instructs in special physics. Precision classes prepare for factory jobs. Something New Has Been Added Special Physics is a state-prescribed course for boys who are slated for induction into serv- ice before next year. This is known as a re- fresher course, but these boys have had no previous training in the subject. They must cover, in one semester, elementary physics with special emphasis on electricity and the mechanics of gases, solids, and liquids. By way of explanation of the latter, the mechanics of solids is the study of forces such as wheels. The mechanics of gases ties up with aerody- namics and that of liquids with hydrostatics. Quite a lot to learn in one semester! We hope all those boys know plenty of math. Extracurricular courses in precision, financed by the government, have been offered to 17 and 18 year olds who promise that they will be ready to take a job on June 7. They must spend ninety hours in preparation and this little item brought them back to school during spring va- cation.

Behind the slogan “Buy War Bonds and Stamps,’ Lois Fetters and Thala Palmer, the Minute Man's nieces, have sold stamps to stu- dents all year. The girls volunteered their serv- ices every sponsor period. Their job was com- plicated by the shortening of the sponsor peri- od to 15 minutes. You students loaned Uncle Sam approximately $9,000 this year, believe it or not! Mr. DeCroes and Mr. Thurston's sponsor rooms and the Miskodeed staff in 219 have the reputation of maintaining an average of 100% throughout the school year. The Health Program for American youth should be thorough — The most oustanding change, affecting all seniors and juniors, was the introduction of physical fitness classes aimed at toughening up students in preparation for the armed forces and defense work. A fter careful planning by the administration, the athletic department and head sponsors, the program was set up in the second semester in line with all other high schools throughout the state. The classes were held five days a week by Mr. Steele, Mr. Thurston, and Miss Goodwin. The first weeks of the semester groaning and puffing were audible during setting-up exer- cises, and sore muscles and stiff joints were the general rule. As the course became more stren- uous and flabby muscles were toughened up, the daily workouts became very popular. The course for the boys: consisted of calis- thenics to strengthen undeveloped muscles, boxing, tumbling, one to two-mile runs to strengthen their legs and improve their wind, and various games of bodily contact, such as scrub basketball and soccer, and also daily marching drills. The girls’ course was not as strenuous and emphasis was placed on calis- thenics, drilling, and two-mile runs at least twice a week. It was a common sight during the spring to see flocks of high school girls, clad in all sorts and colors of sweat suits, slacks, or gym suits, marching and running down Lincoln Way or Mishawaka Avenue on a typical hike. The biggest problem confronting instructors was how to handle such large numbers — ap- proximately six-hundred — of students in the gymnasium. It was feared for a time that class- English VI bom, Schwab, Mathews. Kilbey.

The problem was neatly solved by placing one third of the seniors in refresher math for each third of the semester, and by an early morning class for the boys. Regular gym classes doubled up with physical fitness classes on regular gym days in bad weather, while on warm days the fitness class- es went hiking. Another phase of the health program this year was the thorough physical examinations given to all juniors and seniors preliminary to the organization of the physical fitness pro- gram. The Health program of other years which included skin tests and hearing tests was great- ly elaborated on this year. Early in the fall, representatives of Indiana University gave all It should contain vigorous exercises to develop strength, skill, and stamina. Mishawaka High School students hearing tests; and later in December the upperclassmen were as usual subjected to tuberculosis skin tests. In January the school established a new prec- edent when all Mishawaka doctors kindly in- terrupted their busy routine to donate their services for two afternoons to the task of giv- ing physical examinations to all juniors and seniors. Much credit is due to students on pre- medical courses who were excused from class- es for over a week to make urinalysis tests saving the school considerable expense. The results of these examinations were filed with the State Health Department and also deter- mined whether or not students were physically le stayq the strenuous physical fitness pro- m. .f THIRD ROW: Mazurkiewicz, Morti- SECOND ROW: Baugher, Troyer, FIRST ROW: Rohrbeck, Wallace, De- CLUBS Give Way to Wartime Activity This changing world is nowhere more changed than within the social circle. Clubs more or less social in character have thinned appreciably or disappeared completely in the face of first aid classes, part time jobs, and gasoline rationing. The Chess Club has ceased to meet evenings. Mr. Nygard’s departure left the Forgers Club without a leader. Home Eco- nomics girls failed to get under way. The Engi- neering Club held its first meeting on April 7 after night school had closed. The Biology Club gave up after Mr. Kuhn's departure. Miss Crav- en's Big Sisters simply couldn't find time on a groaning schedule to hold their party for the incoming freshmen girls. They hoped that a diminishing high school enrollment would com- pensate for their lack of hospitality. A club might be formed from among those students who arrive at school anywhere from 6 a. m. on. These early birds ride to school with parents or neighbors and, since only the study hall is open to them, they roam the halls looking for something to do. Such energy really should be harnessed to some useful activity. Seniors customarily take an intelligence test, but this fall they were subjected to a battery of them. On appointed days, beginning at 8:20 English V more, Whisman. Myers, Hummer, Darr, Townsend, Magrames, Miller. Haven, Sack, Snyder, Stanton, Longfellow, Housand, Hittig, Mah- ler. Page 14 a. m., they assembled in the study halls and were seated checker board fashion. Other stu- dents remained away from school until ten o'clock so that the seniors might not be dis- turbed. This testing program was carried on in part at the request of the army so that draftees would be to some extent catalogued before in- duction. There were IQ tests, an achievement test in science, mathematics, English and social science, and a math screening test. In a screen- ing test those persons unfriendly with figures, drop right through. Then the boys took an ad- ditional test in physics. All of these occurring during the sponsor'period shut out all other ac- tivities, and club meetings suffered accordingly. The Science Club, made up of four groups: Physics, Chemistry, Physical Geography, and Biology, meets once a month. Since the club sells scrap paper which is collected around school, and earns money in so doing, the dues are only ten cents a semester. A big event was the meeting of the Junior Academy of Science in the fall at Notre Dame. Mr. Smith, biology teacher at Central High School in South Bend, spoke before the biology section. Movies on the spider, the turtle, and “War on the Campus” were shown with the Parent Teacher Association as guests.

The club has un- dertaken such projects as: building a miniature sulphuric acid plant, studying the chemistry of cosmetics, the destructive distillation of coal and wood, an analysis of stone, the making of synthetic rubber, experiments with plastics, and growing plants with chemicals. Mr. Wood also advises the Physics section of the club which has Dean Trump as chair- man. This section has fifteen members.

Events of the year were: an extem- poraneous speech contest at Riley in which Ben Garrison took third place, a round table discussion at Mishawaka, an after dinner speech contest at the Morningside Hotel in South Bend where Ben Garrison took first place and Norma Stanton tied for second, and finally a series of debates. The topic of the series was: “Resolved: That a federal world government should be established.” Central won the de- bate contest, while Mishawaka tied for second place.

Mish- awaka took first place, however, in the Rotary discussion contest at Washington High School on the subject: “Youth Looks at Peace.” Mr. Hall, the capable coach, led the team through a very successful season. Prospects for the coming year look exceedingly good for the only star debater who will retire is Ben Garrison who is leaving for college. Not connected with regular debate activity, was the American Legion oratorical contest on the subject “The Peace Makers.’ Walter Kiro- cofe, a member of the debate team, took first place and Maxine McClure second. Walter's speech also won the county contest. Art Club THIRD ROW: Eby, Heiser, Graves, Seeley, Gephart, Masters, Fluharty, Fore, Rossner, Huys.

Art Club Models Puppets Under the supervision of Miss Alice Baker, the Art Club, consisting of some forty members, met and elected Mary Lou Cavender president, Betty Ruddick vice-president, Doris Newcomer secretary-treasurer, and Jean Tracy program chairman. The members decided, as the year’s project, to present a puppet show. Patterns for the six- teen lanky dollies were given out to the mem- bers and the play, “The Enchanted Princess,” was chosen by a committee consisting of Marge Burnham, Mary Lou Cavender, and Isa- belle Clark. Now making puppets is no small task. Heads must be modeled and painted, bodies formed, clothes tailored and strings attached; and then — one must learn to work the little people. The Art Club which meets during sponsor period has been particularly hard hit by the shorter periods and the puppet show has proven to be a whole year’s business.

Their social meetings included a Halloween party, a Christmas party, and Saint Patrick's Day party, held in the music room. Fun and gaiety, besides refreshments, were always to be had at these lively parties. The Commercial Club held their annual ban- quet, to which all commercial students, Com- mercial Club alumni, and business men of the community are invited, in the late spring. At the banquet, gold, silver, and bronze pins were given as first, second, and third prizes to the three highest ranking students in begin- ning and advanced typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. This is an event long anticipated by Mishawaka business representatives as well as students. The business men, now of all times, are clamoring for good office workers and through this connection and the recom- mendation of commercial department teach- ers, jobs are handed out more nearly accord- ing to merit instead of on first impressions made at an interview.

Page 21 Girl Keserves Maintain High Standard of Activity The Girl Reserves, largest girls’ organization at Mishawaka High School, has a membership of two-hundred and fifty. The club carried on many activities, including an annual Rose Sale, which is held the Wednesday before Thanks- giving, a Recognition Service on November oy a spring dance, “Garden Gayeties,”” held on March 5, a pre-Easter service, candy conces- sions at the basketball games, decorating the halls of Mishawaka High School at Christmas time, and holding picnics and potlucks. The Rose Sale has assumed such proportions that the girls have difficulty filling all their orders. The officers of this lively club are Rosemary Klopfenstein, president; Marjorie Brennen, vice- president; Pat Swadener, secretary; Isabelle Clark, treasurer; Ellen Heaton, sergeant at arms; Elsie Belli, a member of the inter-school council; and Miss Buchanan, faculty advisor. The club is divided into four sections: seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshman. The senior officers are Rosemary Masters, chairman; Bar- bara Fore, secretary; and Miss Hackett, ad- visor, Those heading the junior club are Joan Winebrenner, chairman; Alice Lema, secretary; and Miss Barracks, advisor, Elsie Gulyanics, chairman; Anna Pekari, secretary; and Miss Martin advisor, make up the officers of the sophomores. The freshmen have as their offi- cers Shirley Jo Swartz, chairman; Illene Kersh, secretary; and Miss Dunn, advisor. In cooperation with the Hi-Y the sophomores and freshmen decorated the main hall of the high school at Christmas time, with a really lovely tree near the library door and branches of spruce tied with red bows around the lights and on classroom doors. The club as a whole sponsored Madame Ling Lee Shew, who spoke at A and B assemblies on “Education in China.” They took time out from giving service to ha ve Mrs. Hazel Jarvis from Wyman's speak to them on clothes and the changes in styles because of the war. The sophomores held a forum on ‘Boy Dates Girl.” The annual spring dance “Garden Gayeties” proved a great success. The girls worked hard to make all the spring flowers which turned the cafeteria into a garden of color, with a white picket fence in the background. Posters adver- tising the event were especially attractive. A yellow crepe paper jonquil silhouetted against a green background made a spot of color in the first floor hall. On March 26 and 27, the South Bend Y.W. C.A. was transformed into a Pan-American fiesta. Booths displayed Mexican and South American wares, candy, and fortune tellers, and there were dancing and moving pictures for the gayer minded. The fiesta has become an annual Girl Reserve affair, sponsored by the inter-city council. English V THIRD ROW: Clayes, Clawson, Cochran, Seeley.

High point of the program was the patriotic cantata “Song of Victory”’ by Fletch- er. Thig is a stirring number sung by a hundred voices made up of the choir and glee clubs and accompanied by Miss Hackett an d Jerome Kersh. All through the year the department is called upon to provide music for special occasions and for that reason there have been formed from among orchestra members the string trio composed of Robert Rudduck, Elsie Gulyanics, and Jerome Kersh; the string ensemble which includes the trio plus Betty Lou Lemler and Glen Miller; the girls’ string ensemble made up of both Violet and Elsie Gulyanics, Jeanette Vance, Alyce Hasson, and Miss Lemler. Larger groups are the salon orchestra, the theatre or- chestra, and the concert orchesira of about thirty-five players. Dale Bressler, Arthur Car- ter, and Glen Hunt have served as managers.

Big event at holiday time is the traditional Vesper Service, which combines tableaux, or- chestra, and choir. The variety of carols which have been sung in these programs is remark- able. This year were heard carols from Nor- mandy, in France, from Bohemia, from old England, from Italy, and from Germany. Girls in double sextette are: Rose Marie La Cava, Lavonne Coil, Eileene Freeze, Jeanette Goethals, Patricia Groff, Cecilia Harrold, Mary Jane Johnson, Joan Kizer, Maxine McClure, Janice Schmidt, Loretta Verstraete, and Phyllis Welty. Among their several appearances were March 18 and 19 when Miss Jones spoke to the Lion’s Club and the Mishawaka Women’s Club about the music of each South American nation. Maxine McClure described the songs briefly and the girls dressed in South A meri- can costumes. Ours Is a Band to Fe Proud Of Like the orchestra, the one-hundred piece band plays for both school and civic activities upon request, and gives on an average of two concerts per year, one in January and the oth- er in April. Besides these regularly scheduled concerts the group gives one A and one B as- sembly concert and a free Sunday afternoon concert. The demonstration band, consisting of the thirty-three best players, has assembled in full dress uniform this year at the station, rain or shine, to play whenever draftees leave for the army. The officers for the year are: president, Bob Bonnell; vice-president, Paul Matchette; and secretary, Italo Candoli. First semester librar- ian was Dorothy Bosscawen, and the second semester librarians are Joy Galbreath and Jan- et Jennings.

Jootball Season Disproves Gloomy Forecasts The season started out with no particular high hopes of anything except a mediocre team, but everyone surely was surprised be- fore the season was over. Coupled with the idea of no veteran lineman returning was the fact that there were many pre-game injuries both before the season and during the season. For their opening game Mishawaka engaged Hammond Tech for an easy victory of 20 to 0. The first game played with John Adams was won by the Maroons in a victory provided by Paul Johnston’s running and some good block- ing. Adams scored but couldn't stand the pace and lost 19 to 6, before one of the largest crowds ever to witness an opening game on Tupper Field. The next week Washington of Indianapolis succumbed to a hard blocking forward wall and fleet backfield to the tune of 19 to 0. In the game with North Side of Fort Wayne, Mishawaka really showed their goods and out- played and outcharged Fort Wayne to a 19 to 0 victory. The famed backfield of Nome, Um- baugh, Crothers, and Johnston clicked de- cisively in this game and contributed much to this victory. The following week one of the crucial games of the season came up — that with Washing- ton of South Bend. A bad break through the loss of Pete Rachul that night, who was unable to play, gave Washington an added advan- tage. Due to effective blocking, fleet-footed Zalejski and the Washington backfield marched to a 20 to 6 victory. Mishawaka kept fighting all through the game and managed to send Paul Johnston driving through the center goal line standing up for our lone tally. This is some- thing that is seldom done to a Washington team. TOP: George Nome, quarterback; Kenneth Umbaugh, halfback; Bob Marvel, left end; Pete Crothers, fullback. BOTTOM: Don Rachul, tackle; Eugene Huggett, end; Vincent Marandino, tackle; Paul Johnson, halfback. Traveling down to Goshen the next -week the battered Cavemen punched home a 14 to 6 victory over the Redskins although they gave Mishawaka a very tough battle. Rated as an underdog by nearly everyone except themselves, the Maroons upset Elkhart in one of the biggest surprises of the season. Elkhart, out-generaled and out-fought, with a team twice the size of the Maroons, was de- feated 8 to 7. The generalship of George Nome was particularly notable in this game. In the classic of the season Mishawaka, play- ing alert ball, trimmed Central 12 to 0. Mish- awaka took advantage of every break in the game and passed, plunged, and punted their way to victory. Central possessed a powerful offense but our line held at the right times and all their drives bogged down. Mishawaka finished up the season with La- Porte and did so almost disastrously. La- Porte scored first to make the score 7 to 0 and again to make it 13 to 0. Mishawaka came back to make it 13 to 7 at the half. In the sec- ond half La Porte again pushed another mark- er to 19 to 7, but with scrap and determination the Cavemen forged back to bring it up to 19 to 14, with three minutes to play. Final score, [9 to l 9. To sum up the season — the hard work of the coaches and the boys plus the unquench- able spirit of the team as a whole resulted in the mighty Maroons finishing second in the Northern Indiana Conference and eighth in the state. Next year we will be missing George Nome as our quarterback, who as a field gen- eral can't be beaten. We will miss Gene Little’s rugged defensive play at center and his ball snapping, Vince Marandino’s offensive block- ing and scrappy defensive work, Pete Rachul as our hard charging and blocking tackle, Russ Hills at halfback and a fleet halfback, too, George Bennett, an end who was out most of the season with a broken elbow but who TOP: Loren Maltby, tackle; Art Katt, fullback; Bob Miltenberger, guard; Kenneth Butler, guard.

Two big moments in the football season were the crowning of Princess Mishawaka and the hanging of the hickory stick. Hi-Y boys have a special interest in the Central-Mishawaka clas- sic so they roused student council members to arrange for the election. Miskodeed and King- kodeed elections were suspended since both are popularity contests. Freshman Illene Kersh and Norma Jean Morgan, sophomores Janice Cone and Carol Parcell, juniors Geraldine Celie and Betty Eggert, and seniors Ida Barrett and Joyce Van Dusen formed a court for Princess Rosemary Masters, who was introduced at the Notre Dame stadium alone with Central's queen. The hickory stick, the second of those gleaming timbers which record Central-Mish- awaka football wins and losses, now hangs in the gym lobby. Central has one too, recording an earlier five-year period, but this one is ours since the majority of hi gh scores in the last five years are ours.

In the background of athletics, stand the man- agers for each sport who spend more hours than the athletes themselves. Often they begin as freshmen and grow up with the team as did Walter Otterstein and Al Meersman. They have charge of equipment even to carrying the keys. They administer some first aid under the direc- tion of the coach, and take inventory at the English U1 BACK ROW: Davis, Nixon, Kil- bey, Beehler, Tate.

Really, though, they hardly know when the season comes to an end, for they work on equipment even during the sum- mer. Other football managers are James Otter- stein, Carl Sontchi, Norman Sweaney, and Jack and Bill Deethardt. George Bennett heads the list of basketball managers, assisted by Richard Barnes, Jack e, Norman Sweaney, James Fink, Robert Lovett, and Robert Maenhout. George also acts as baseball manager and so do John Krucke- berg, Bob Clawson, Forest Wenman, and Rob- ert Maenhout. Track managers are John Stef- off, Berwyn Fred, Carl Dorn, and Jack Sailor. These boys receive numerals and even sweat- ers as awards, just as the players do. The office helpers, however, receive only gratitude and the satisfaction of knowing how much they have helped. Miss Cravens’ assist- ants include Marian Harrold who has worked one hour daily for five semesters, Ruth Marie Books who has been on hand for four semes- ters, and Ruth Frank who has spent two se- mesters in the dean's office. Other helpers are Mary Jean Kingery, Pricilla Gates, Gladys Rench, Rose Pauline Trimboli, who served dur- ing the first semester; during the second semes- ter assistants were Joyce Walters, Sue Garri- son, Barbara Rufe, Bonita Schlegel, Kathleen Ritter, and Betty Hampton. Betty McKee, Ce- cilia Ganser, Ann Light, and Norma Lee Min- zey have helped from time to time. Principal's office assistants check attendance and run errands. As in all the offices, there is one student on duty each hour in the day. They are: Norma Breunlin who does double duty, Christina Ness, Betty Lou Fink, Ellen Heaton, Ardis Baidinger, Delphine Dosmann, and Betty Claeys.

In the library, Delores Sheaks has a record of three years’ service. Virginia Smith is just behind with five semesters. Betty June Smith has worked for two years, and Alice Whitney for one year. Taking turns in the magazine room now are: Isabelle Clarke, Isabelle Snow, Mary Ellen Flack, Julia Campoli, Marilyn Key, and Tillie Moshak. Ethel Gore is in the work room. As desk assistants there are: Marion Lutes, Betty Burkhart, Marceline Hoover, Ruth Baker, Doris Tharp, Joyce Johns, Joan LeBlanc, Marilyn Biltz, Audrey Dawalt, Joyce Whitmer, and Delores Sheaks. Of a different sort is the service given by the salesgirls at the football games. They work to earn money for the student council of which most of them are not even members. They get in free to a game they haven't time to watch. Ann Light sold more candy and hot dogs than any of them. She and Delphine Dosmann and Yvonne Dosmann were present at every game. Barbara Price, Ann Severa, Martha Miller, Mar- garet Brockmueller, Jean Metzger, Marilyn Sprague, Doris Van Dowser, Grace Kring, Shir- ley Swartz, Rosemary Reed, Harriet Clawson, Bonnie Miller, Isabelle Pickett, and Thelma Kelley sold candy or made hot dogs at most of the games. Usually James Harman provided delivery service for the hot dogs, transporting them from foods laboratory to the stadium. Hi-Y Officers STANDING: Henry Karler, Jule Steinke.

Hi-Y Attracts the Best Among MHS Sralere Hi Y has a division for each of the three up- per classes, senior, junior, and sophomore. Offi- cers of the senior group are: George Phillips, president; Richard Sprague, vice-president; El- win Zeller, secretary; and Albert Meersman, treasurer. Mr. DeCroes is sponsor. Again this year they compiled and sold programs at the Mishawaka-Central football game in Notre Dame stadium. Priorities played havoc with further plans and the club has been far less ac- tive then usual. Mr. DeCroes’ teaching program is extremely heavy and the four officers are very busy men. The president is also president of the senior class. The vice-president was first semester ALLTOLD editor and has a long list of other duties. The secretary is student coun- cil president, while the treasurer spends all his spare time toting after the football team. You see what we mean by priorities. Their inter- city dance and spring party didn’t materialize. The girls regret this very much. Junior Hi Y elected Henry Karler, president; Richard Lahr, vice-president; John Stefoff, sec- retary; Walter Barkes, treasurer; and Edwin Beiser, chaplain. Mr. Ulmer is advisor. These boys treated their dads to a father and son banquet just before meat rationing went into effect so they were able to serve baked ham with trimmings. They have thirty-one members. One of the ideals of the club is scholarship and Hi Y roster of officers presents largely hon- or society material. That means that the boys are leaders and of good character, too.

Starting with Goshen, and winning six of the seven encounters, they gained first place in the eastern division of the N.I.H.S. conference. Goshen, who later in the season defeated South Bend Central, was the initial conference victim of the Maroons, the Redskins being de- feated 37-32. The following week, Riley of South Bend handed the Cavemen their first conference loss of the season, when they nosed out the Maroons, 35-30. However, the Maroons bounced right back during the Christmas holi- days and crushed the Nappanee Bulldogs, 55- 30. ‘“Bake’s’’ boys started the new year off with a bang, winning four straight encounters, all of them conference games, to put them on the top rung of the conference ladder. John Adams was their first victim. Led by “Baldy” Trump, who literally burned up the nets, the Eagles were handed a 40-31 licking. The other three games were played in six days and, although the boys didn't get much practice in between, Page 36 ) the Maroons won six and lost three. they “bumped off’ Elkhart, 36-25; nosed out North Side of Fort Wayne, 31-25; and, led by Trump and Paul Johnston, crushed LaPorte’s Slicers, 42-25. With five straight victories chalked up, the Maroons again took on Riley’s Wildcats, which was the last team to defeat the Cavemen, and again the Wildcats gave the Maroons a lick- ing, by a decisive 38-20 score. Smarting under their first defeat in six games, the Maroons took on Central's Bears, in the M.H.S: basket- orium, in the game which would decide the conference leadership. However, the Maroons, for the second week, ran up against a superior ball club, and were handed a 56-27 drubbing by the fast-stepping Bruins. Having been dropped into second place the week before, the Maroons met the strong Michigan City Red Devils in their ninth con- ference game, and with a strong second-half barrage, the “Baker Boys’’ thumped the boys from the dunes by a 40-34 score. The follow- ing night, the Maroons traveled to Gary and were defeated by a fast-stepping Froebel quintet, 47-38. The Maroons clinched a tie for second place in the conference the following week, by setting down Washington High of South Bend, 35-28, in their last home game of the season.

Mishawaka, led by Trump and Claeys, nosed out Madison Township in an overtime battle, 40-38, and were defeated in the final game at Culver High, 45-39, as the Indians put on a second- half rally. With a season record of ten wins against eight losses, the mighty Maroons entered the sectional tourney at John Adams, and drew Woodrow Wilson as their first opponent.

However, the Maroons applied the pressure in the second half of the ball game and moved away to a 46-35 victory. With the Wilson victory added to their string, the “Baker Boys’’ took on South Bend Central, rated Indiana’s number one team, and the team that drubbed the Maroons twice during the regular season. The sports-writers and prognosticators in the region didn’t give the Maroons a chance in the battle with the Bears. “Central will win in a breeze,” said one au- thority. However, they didn’t reckon with the spirit and fight which is predominant in all Mishawaka teams, and the Maroons started Page 37 TOP: Dean Trump, Paul Johnson, Rich- ard Lahr.

They scored two quick baskets in the opening minutes of play, and from then on Central's Bears had all they could do to keep up with the Maroons, With two minutes remaining to play, and the ‘Baker Boys’ leading 30-27, Jim Powers, Bruin for- ward, scored four fast points on a basket and Page 38 pitta, © two foul shots which gave Central a 31-30 vic- tory over one of the scrappiest M.H.S. teams in years.

Although, in keep- ing with the times, the programs were more serious in character than usual, the student body wholeheartedly agreed that we had more inspiring and interesting speakers this year than ever before. Early in September Professor A. B. Keeler from Mexico City showed films of ‘Beautiful Mexico.” This program was the first of a series which aimed at promoting good will, neighbor- liness, and friendly understanding among the countries of North, South, and Central America. Especially entertaining was Senor Carlos Fal- lon, Lieutenant Commander in the Columbian Navy, whose witty comparisons of manners and customs wer e very enjoyable. Later in the year, colored pictures of scenic Ecuador were shown by Harold Hoeflinger, ex-radio engineer and broadcaster at Quito, who is a former stu- dent of Mishawaka High School. Of considerable interest to the student body were two proponents of the Chinese cause who told tales of how Chinese students, although suffering the horrors and destruction of war, were still being taught. Despite all obstacles, classes were held on the run and in caves, so English Ill THIRD ROW: Brown, Fred, Brandt, Miles, Kelver, Horein, De Volder, Goethals, Warniers.

First of the speakers was Miss Ling Lee Shew, former principal of a Chinese school, who appeared through the courtesy of the Girl Reserves, and the second speaker was Reverend Stanton Lautenschlager, a Canadian, and former pro- fessor in a Chinese University. Throughout the year, professors, philoso- phers, ministers, and a judge presented elo- quent and inspiring lectures. The friendly Dr. Preston Bradley, nationally known clergyman of the People’s Church, Chicago, and popular radio commentator, attempted to show that each student as an individual is a decisive fac- tor in building a new and better world. On Navy Day, Ensign E. A. Winton came over from Notre Dame where he is stationed. Stu- dents hoped that Mr. Myers would appear in uniform on that day, but no such luck! Judge Fred D. Bale, former judge of the juvenile court of Columbus, Ohio, brought enthusiastic applause with his humorous and worthwhile address on the problems of youth. Student opinion was aroused when Clar- i !

Sophomores and freshmen heard Reverend Claude Garrison explain that the phrase “You Can Say That Again’’ can never apply to evil, for evil does not bear repetition. Professor Francis E. McMahon, professor of philosophy at Notre Dame, defined peace as the tranquility of order. He added that, although he is a paci- fist, he believes this war is necessary, that it should have begun sooner for us of the allied nations, so that the invaders might have been checked sooner. A distinctly different program was the choric reading done by 9B students of Miss Lela Ward from Beiger school. The children read “They Burned the Books” by Stephen Vincent Benet, with understanding and forcefulness. Feeling ran high early in the year among students when they were asked to sit in as- signed seats for assembly programs. Objectors broke into print with their reasons against the plan. Some argued that the student council should have made the decision, and many felt that they simply could not get in the spirit of pep sessions when they were separated from their best friends. However, after the plan was put into effect students realized it was a neces- sity and accepted it without much ado. EvAgT English Iil THIRD ROW: Emerson, Whybrew, Smith, Hums, Fiscus, Olson, Pease.

Page 41 HICKORY STICK FOOTBALL TROPHY Students crowd lower hall. Mr. Steele and Nome and Johnston admire the hickory stick. “Who did you vote for?’ “Have you voted yet?’ These questions were asked a thousand times by students on the days of the Student Council primary and general elections. The nominees at the primary election were: president; Bill Reed, Jule Steinke, Marilyn Swanger, and Carl Phillips; vice president: Carl Vanderlin, Joan Christoff, Richard Fulper, and Erwin Weaver; secretary: Betty Eggert, Dor- othy Vance, and Joan Winebrenner; treasurer: Doris Birtwhistle, Bill Brady, Marjorie Krueger, Bob Cochran, Robert Hughes, and John Weis. Election boards which took charge of the polls consisted of students from the govern- ment classes of Miss Perkins and Mr. Baker. The election was conducted in exact conforma- tion to state laws so there was no stuffing of the ballot box. The election board of the senior precinct were: inspector, Dean Trump; judges, Adeline Huys, and Mike Mikulyuk; poll clerks, Cecilia Ganser, and Rosemary Klopfenstein; sheriffs, Elouise Hutchison, and James Hums; and helper, Mary Gall. At the junior precinct they were: inspector, Paul Matchett; judges, Art Claeys, and Paul Todd; poll clerks, Marvilla Sparks, and Maxine McClure; sheriffs, George Bennett, and Ray Bigler; helper, Florian Bur- kowski. The board for the sophomore precinct were: inspector, Robert Coyner; judges, Mau- rice Wertenberger, and Bill Stover; poll clerks, Maurice Johnson, and Hilda Perry; sheriffs, James Harmon, and Pete Cunningham; and helper, Mary Power. For the freshman poll the inspector was Albert Martin; judges, Richard W. Barnes, Italo Condoli; poll clerks, Marjorie Hoskins, and Geraldine Healy; sheriffs, Robert Comer, and Jack Clement; and helper, Shirley Partridge. These boards received valuable experience during the busy election days. Poll helpers in- English II FOURTH ROW: Fries, Burkhart, Asher, Hayden, De Witte, Ham- mon, Barnard.

Poll clerks checked to see that the voters were enrolled in a sponsor room. In several instances students not properly registered had to get affidavits from head sponsors. Sheriffs and judges saw that everything went smooth- ly. The Australian ballot was used in the primary election and special blue pencils were used to mark them. The election committee who supervised the election consisted of six students: Delphine Dos- mann acting as chairman, Bill Bancroft, Henry Karler, Dale Mattmiller, Pricilla Gates, Dick Hover, and Jannie Johnson and Miss Moist was sponsor. This committee with head spon- sors, Mr. Chapman and Miss Wilson counted the ballots. Out of 1475 students enrolled 1065 voted, a remarkable percentage for a primary election. Page Truthfully, our school election went off better than our government elections. As the result of the primary, these candidates were nominated for Student Council offices and began their campaigns at an assembly program. President Jule Steinke, and Marilyn Swanger;.vice president Carl Vanderlin and Joan Christoff; secretary, Dorothy Vance and Joan Winebrenner; treasurer, Doris Birtwhistle and Bob Cochran. Holding the offices, being on the election board and voting are excellent training indeed for the potential voters and government offi- cials of America. Intensive effort was made by Mr. Chapman to secure a voting machine for the general election. In that case there would be only one poll and one election board for the entire school. This would make the election much more interesting and more like state and national elections. English II THIRD ROW: Sierens, Perschke, Paul, Fox, Sime, Hutton, Weav- er, Grose, Weis.

Good Actors Become Members of ND HF Society In keeping with their motto “Act well your part; there all the honor lies,” the Thespians have worked hard to earn their title to mem- bership. Troupe 496 of the National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society for High Schools cele- brated its first birthday last fall. Don Burns is president; Maxine McClure is vice-president; Patricia Groff is secretary; and John Smith is treasurer. On December 14, Maxine McClure, John Smith, Don Burns, and John Hess gave a one- act fantasy entitled “Dust of the Road” before the general meeting of the American Associa- tion of University Women. Later Maxine, Eileen Freeze, Joyce Van Dusen, Patricia Groff, and Marilyn Swanger entertained the Fine Arts group by an amusing presentation of “Shake- speare’s Ladies.’’ Later, members of the troupe entertained at A and B assemblies with ‘The Trysting Place,” a play familiar to English IV students, and at the tea for senior girls given by the recent graduates’ group of the A.A.UW. The Thespians meet about once each month for a social and business meeting. They took pot luck with the members of the Speech Club on May 14. At the end of the year, by means of a point system, an award is given to the high- est ranking senior Thespian girl and boy. Members not pictured are: Audrey Arring- ton, Ellen Heaton, Eileen Freeze, Joyce Van Dusen, John Smith, Bill Bancroft, June Erick, and Morris Dahl.

Allecld Adds’ Several New Grate Students of Journalism I and II courses pub- lish the four page ALLTOLD which is printed in the school print sho p and appears eight times each semester. Miss Heimbach, staff advisor, reports that this year, more than ever before, the staffs have tried to give subscribers some- thing different for their twenty-five cents a semester. Drive programs, one a quiz program in which the students outshone the teachers, the other a style show in which boys modeled very fetching feminine fashions, are indicative of that effort. Nearly one thousand subscrip- tions came in the first semester and nine hun- dred for the second semester even though English I BACK ROW: Micinski, Deethardt, Wade, Stuff, Mickels, Kendall, Ness, Mills.

The staff tries constantly to live up to the sub- scription motto — “The Best Little Paper in Indiana.” First semester staff members were: Richard Sprague, editor; Bernard Ein, associate editor; Frank Steele, managing editor; John Smith, news editor; Arthur Claeys, sports; Juanita Sargent, features; Norma Kunce, circulation; Marian Griffis, business; Robert Rudduck, ex- changes.

Second Semester Staff Includes Only One Boy The second semester editor, Mary Alice Moore, has been in our high school only one year. To have made such a place for herself so soon is a remarkable achievement. The staff, made up almost entirely of girls, was unusually congenial and willing to work. Every member had copy in every issue. The other staff mem- bers were: Dorothy Bosscawen, managing edi- tor; Marilyn Swanger, associate editor; Patricia Groff, news editor; Don Lamb, sports editor; Phyllis Miller, features; Lois Ann Scheibelhut, circulation; Jeanette Goethals, exchanges; Bar- bara Price, business. Reporters were: Marjorie Burnham, Ann Ewaska, Maryon Lutes, Willa- dine Orton, Bettie Alice Scherzinger, Doris Tharp, Betty Westfall. Typists were Mary Pow- er and Gwendolyn Jacobs. This year’s ALLTOLDs have been enlivened by the addition of some cartoons and numer- ous pictures. “Life with the Armed Forces” is a new feature containing letters from former students who write back from camps in all parts of the United States and even as far away as the British Isles and Hawaii.

Girl Athletes Play for the Fun Of St The Mishawaka League of the High School Girls’ Athletic Association, better known as the G.A.A., is an organization to stimulate interest in girls’ health and physical activities and to promote ideals in these activities. The league sponsor is Miss Hazel Goodwin. The officers are Delphine Dosmann, president; Gabrielle De Geyter, vice-president; Jeanette Rossner, secretary-treasurer. The league is organized on a club. basis, each activity forming a club and having a manager. These girls were managers: Ger- trude Wolvos, speedball; Margaret Kopsea, volleyball; Norma Picking, basketball; Sally Parr, ten pin bowling; Jeannette Bracke, duck Page 48 pin bowling; Eva Lou Harmon, tumbling; Juan- ita Wilson, track and field; Marjorie Williams, hiking; Elsie Gulyanics, bicycling; Joan Wine- brenner, swimming. The season opened in October when the girls played speedball and volleyball. Captains of volleyball teams were: Agnes Kalil, Delphine Dosmann, Derna Mordenti, and Joan Winebren- ner, the latter’s team winning the championship. During the winter season basketball came into its own and the five team captains were: Joon Winebrenner, Agnes Kalil, Bonnie Miller, Derna Mordenti, and Delphine Dosmann. Del- phine Dosmann's team won the championship. At mid-term, G.A.A was unable to use gym- nasium and so discontinued organized activity.

Cennis Squad Makes Good Kecord With only one returning letterman, and Miss Hazel Goodwin as coach for the first time, the M.H.S. tennis squad finished third in the N.I. HS. conference. They won five contests and lost only three, which is a very commendable record. Bob Strome, the returning letterman, held down the number one spot while Dick Wardell and Bob Clawson held the number two and three positions respectively. The doubles teams were composed of Strome and Wardell, and Clawson and Bob Cochran.

The Maroons’ five victims were John Adams and Riley of South Bend, Nappanee, Michigan City, and Goshen over whom they won by for- feit. They were defeated by Central of South Bend, La Porte, and Elkhart the conference champions who had a record of eight wins. With the golf team temporarily out of busi- ness and baseball hardly on a sound footing as yet, tennis has carried the flag for the minor sports. Early in April, however, Mr. Marsee sent out a call for golfers and we should see some results by this time next year. UPPER LEFT: Ed Sanders flies over the cross bar.

Page 50 Good Orack Ceams--An M.A. S. Specialty While old man Winter was still hanging around, Coach Walter Thurston's ‘“thin-clads” began pounding the boards in the gymnasium, anticipating the 1943 track season. Forming the nucleus of the squad were Art Claeys and Jim De Meester, veteran dash-men, and members of the record-breaking ‘42 half- mile relay team; Joe Zimmerman and Gene Ed- wards, quarter-milers; George Phillips, veteran distance man; and Bob Craig and Brenton Hirsch competing in the field events. Also counted on to bring home the points was sprinter Dick Wardell, who teamed with Claeys, De Meester, and Craig to form the half-mile relay team. The ‘42 track squad which proved to be one of the best in the conference opened their sea- son in the annual Gary Invitational meet at Notre Dame field house, finishing fifth with 21- 7 12 points. With the Invitational as an opener, the Maroons then defeated Central and Riley in their annual triangular meet, lost to North Side of Fort Wayne in a dual meet, crushed Goshen in a dual meet, and finished second in the Eastern Division conference meet. The con- ference meet saw Mishawaka’s Frank Steele almost pull the biggest upset of the year, when, in his first year as a hurdler, he matched Bojin- off, Fort Wayne's great hurdler, stride for stride, and just as he was taking the lead, tripped over the next to the last hurdle and fell, while English I THIRD ROW: Kater, Gropp, Smith, Jones, Rigley, Gevaert.

Page Bojinoff went on to tie the conference record for the low hurdles, running them in 23.25 seconds. The greatest heart-break of the season came when the Maroons lost their first sectional in eleven years. South Bend Central nosed out Mishawaka’'s great half-mile relay team in the event which was to decide the sectional championship. However, the Maroons showed Central who had the best team when they de- feated the Bruins in a dual meet which cli- maxed the ‘42 season. The Maroons crack half- mile relay team, composed of Ransberger, Claeys, De Meester, and Steele, set a new track and field record, when they ran the dis- tance in the spectacular time of 1:32.6. Forming the ‘42 squad were such performers as Art Claeys, Jim De Meester, Roscoe Rans- berger, Dick Zeller, Frank Steele, Joe Zimmer- man, Bob Boger, Bill Walsh, Chuck Garman, Achiel Van Durman, Virgil Bickel, Gene Ed- wards, and Bob Craig. The most promising newcomers for the ‘43 squad were Carmelo DiGirolamo, Henry Doyle, Jack Kase, Kenny Kelver, Loren Maltby, Eugene Huggett, Walter Barkes, and Carlton Wiseman. Two veterans who were sorely missed on this year’s squad were Frank Steele, senior broad-jumper, hurdler, and anchor-man of the great half-mile relay team, and Bill Walsh, veteran miler. Both withdrew from school to enter the Naval Reserves at Indiana University. English I THIRD ROW: Scott, Squires, Soupe, De _ Broko, Jennings, Hartley, Gerard, Blasko.

Baseball Prospects Entirely satisfied with Mr. Baker’s showing in the realm of basketball, the Powers That Be asked Coach Baker to try his hand at baseball, that baby among sports here in Mishawaka High School. Prolonged winter weather has caused the postponement of one game already this season. It snowed several inches on the day the team was to have met Central of South Bend, but the game was played and lost by a score of 3-4. All games will be played with nearby teams. Veterans of one year are catcher Bob Mar- vel, pitcher Art Rehbein, Paul Johnston, and George Biltz in the outfield, and Hank Most- aert, Kenny Umbaugh, Art Katt, Firmin Adams, and Bob Cochran infield.

Seniors who went early to col- lege, those who have already joined the armed forces, even those who have part time jobs, all tell us how much is required of them, how heavy their responsibilities are, and how long their hours. The days of coke parties and jalopy driving are over for the present. Now young men are walking to work and then put- SENIOR OFFICERS, LEFT TO RIGHT: Dean Trump, vice- president; George Phillips, president; Alyce Joyce Clark, secretary; and Walter Schlegel, treasurer.

Instead high schools and especially colleges have placed all their facilities at the disposal of the gov- ernment for a gigantic army and navy educa- tion plan. We do not intend that our youth shall go into battle unprepared. The Junior-Senior Prom. Page 53 4 Adams, Firmin—Pre-Engineering Course; Football 1, 2, 3: Baseball 3, 4; Intramural 2, 3, 4.

When acting ability was passed out, a few seniors must have been first in line, for they certainly received their share. That talent was used to good advantage in the class play, “Old Doc,” presented on the eighteenth and nine- teen of March. Romance, comedy, and tragedy were all combined in the story to give the large audience much real pleasure. The role of wise and kind-hearted old Doc was carried very well by Don Burns. Johnny Smith and Bobbie Lou Fore made a perfect old couple who had plenty of good advice and sympathy to offer. The young doctor, Paul Matchette, and the pretty little nurse, Patsy Groff, took care of the romance, while Bob Senior Dramatic Stars Shine in “Old Doc.”’ Light added the comedy touch that only he could provide. Eileen Freeze as a typical Irish woman and Delphine Dosmann as a sweet Italian lady showed how entertaining dialects can be. Supporting roles were nicely handled by Maxine McClure, Dale Mattmiller, Joyce Van Dusen, Phyllis Welty, Pat Partridge, Rose- mary Masters, and James Hums. Now acting ability and a good story aren't the only essentials to a successful play. It takes proper directing and casting to get results. For the splendid directing of “Old Doc’’ we send very special roses to Miss Lora Duguid who has set a very high standard as amateur plays go. She has never produced a poor play, nor an ordinary one. STANDING: Dale Mattmiller, Delphine Dosmann, Phyllis Welty, James Hums, Shirley Partridge, Bob Light, Joyce Van Dusen, Eileen Freeze. SEATED: Maxine McClure, Pat Groff, Paul Matchette, Rosemary Masters, John Smith, Bobbie Lou Fore, Don Burns. Page 76 Chings Chey ll Never Forget And now the class of 1943 is on the way out of Mishawaka High School. The four years of hard work and grand fun seem to have flown by and now these seniors are ready to serve Uncle Sam, advance to higher education, or step into war industry. Dramatically they were a bit slow in getting started. You remember that school started a month late their sophomore year, consequently there was no sophomore play. In their junior year the class presented one of the few mys- teries which have ever been presented here, “The Cat and the Canary,” under the direction of Miss Davidson, and played host to the seniors at the junior-senior prom at the Palais Royale. Johnny Kay’s orchestra played. Names and events that will stick in the mem- ories of seniors are: Rosemary Masters was crowned Princess Mishawaka at a rousing pre- Central game pep session on the athletic field. She wore a feather in her hair and among her eight attendants were two seniors — Joyce Van Dusen and Ida Barrett. Mishawaka won the coveted “hickory stick’’ from Central of South Bend. George Nome was named honorary foot- ball captain and Paul Johnston received the Gilbert trophy as well as being named All-state first team halfback. Six feet six inch “Baldy” Trump chalked up two hundred and twelve points in his last basketball season and was elected honorary captain. LIFE magazine sent Bill Bancroft, Dale Mattmiller, Rich- ard Lahr, Elaine Engle, Betty Rid- dle, Neva Jean Whitfield, Rex Howell. These seniors do not ap- pear among the graduates with the exception of Elaine Engel who wanted to be sociable. representatives to interview and take pictures of a typical American family with sons in school and in the service and they chose John Smith's family. Lloyd Nevel was elected to an office in the Junior Academy of Science at the Notre Dame meeting. Cecelia Ganser was chosen as the Good Citizen by the D.A.R. and received the St. Joseph County medal for her contest essay. George Fry attended Rotary Club luncheons as Junior Rotarian and school representative. The senior class president and certain other prominent seniors were forcibly removed from lockers near the front entrance and that of Mr. Emmons’ office because of ex- treme noisiness and traffic congestion. Two hundred and thirty-six books, most of them text and reference books, disappeared from the library — three times as many as were lost ten years ago. Attendance fell so low — the worst ever recorded in this vicinity — that a detention room was instituted for the sole pur- pose of allowing A.W.O.L. students to make up for lost time. After Christmas vacation and at the end of the first semester Dick Barnard, Fred Smith, Frank Steele, William Walsh, and Robert Woodward entered universities on the Navy V5 program. At intervals, when the long cold of winter was temporarily broken, came the familiar admonition to keep off the grass while the ground was soft. As the MISKODEED went to press, about the middle of April, honors were being conferred thick and fast with many more to come. Rector scholarships to DePauw University had been won by John Smith and Elwin Zeller. These scholarships cover four years and will be good after the war if the boys are unable to use them before that time. It is most unusual for two of the scholarships to be awarded in one school, but this is the second time Mishawaka High School has been so honored. Dale Matt- miller, Richard Lahr, and Frank Steele were recipients of state scholarships to Indiana Uni- versity. Purdue merit awards and a parcel of small college scholarships had not been an- nounced, nor had the commercial club awards been made. After the gala senior prom came the Com- mencement exercises. The Baccalaureate ser- mon was delivered by Reverend Claude Gar- rison, and on that occasion senior warblers sang for the last time with the A Capella Choir. Commencement speaker was Dr. Henry Hitt Crane of Central Methodist Church, De- troit, Michigan, who spoke on “Clear Thinking in Confused Times.” Music was provided by the girls’ double sextette and two soloists, Jeanette Goethals, soprano, and Robert Rud- duck, violinist. On class night, awards and scholarships were presented to deserving stu- dents and addresses were given by the valedic- torian and salutatorian, both of whom have fin- ished their high school course in three years and only this year moved up from the junior class. Finally came the big moment when hard- earned diplomas were distributed. Scholarship Honors Highest marks in the senior class were made by Dale Mattmiller, valedictorian, and Richard Lahr, salutatorian who spoke during Class Night ceremonies. The National Honor Society which requires leadership, service, and character as adjuncts to scholarship, elected the following 1943 graduates when they were but juniors: Alice Joyce Clark, Winifred Curtis, Colleen Davis, Geraldine Healy, John Hess, Rosemary Klop- fenstein, Paul Matchette, Thala Palmer, Dor- othy Prahl, Bette Alice Scherzinger, Richard Sprague, secretary-treasurer, Frank Steele, president, Goldie Stefucza, Mary Sykonnyk, Phyllis Welty, Robert Woodward, Dean Trump, vice-president, Elwin Zeller. The following students were elected to mem- bership in their senior year: Robert Bacon, Bill Bancroft, Robert Barkes, Richard Barnard, James Baugher, Elsie Belli, Italo Candoli, Rob- ‘ert Coyner, Geza Crapo, John Crawford, Del- phine Dosmann, Richard Fenska, Barbara Fore, Ruth Frank, George Fry, Cecelia Ganser, Pa- Page 78 tricia Groff, LaVon Huffman, Henry Karler, Nor- ene Kent, Dale Kline, Richard Lahr, Maxine McClure, Vincent Marandino, Dale Mattmiller, Mary Alice Moore, Walter Otterstein, Phyllis Powell, Barbara Price, Jeanette Rossner, Fred- eric Smith, Geraldine Smith, John Smith, Jo Ann Taggart, Frank Tracas. Quill. and Scroll, national honorary journal- istic society, accepted thirteen seniors who had served on either the ALLTOLD or the MISKO- DEED staff: Dorothy Bosscawen, Alice Joyce Clark, Colleen Davis, Cecelia Ganser, Marion Griffis, Patricia Groff, Mary Alice Moore, Bar- bara Price, Lois Ann Scheibelhut, Bette Alice Scherzinger, John Smith, Richard Sprague, and Marilyn Swanger. Promising juniors who were elected to the National Honor Society include: Doris Birt- whistle, Bill Brady, Joan Christoph, Walter Ed- wards, Betty Lou Fink, Richard Fulpur, Ben Garrison, Mary Louise Philion, Grace Rogge- man, Janice Schmidt, Helen Steffens, Jule Steinke, Jean Strome, Patricia Swadner, Mari- lyn Swanger, Carl Vanderlin, and John Weis. A Few Final Remarks ) Seniors regret deeply the death by accident of Francis McClurg during his sophomore year and Donald Merrick by illness during his junior year. Too quick or too shy to be caught by the camera were graduating seniors: Michael Dorbin, Ray Falk, Gene Fredericks, Delio Fris- oni, John Garman, Herbert Glossenger, Richard Gosbin, Thomas Grace, Eugene Hoffman, Wil- ford Mann, Merle Mock, Helen Shapiro, Betty June Stuart, and Wilma Wickizer. This book is yours, dear reader, to use as you wish. You may want it to fill in that empty space in your bookcase, to start the furnace fire with, to entertain the little tots on cold eve- nings, or perhaps to enjoy the happy memories it will recall for you. We hope that you will find pleasure in it, however, for work, worry, and loving care have gone into every page. STANDING: Richard Sprague, Miss Rosenberger, Richard Barnard.
