They consider their high school diplomas a pass to an easier and happier life free from want, filled with security, friends, and interests. The lure of adventure and the promise of wealth led the forty-niners of the past on that long trek across the country to try their luck at the gold mines. They too, as the teen-agers of today, dreamed of a bright new future. 1849: The leaders of yesterday... . fellas to folla . . . vigilantes to check treachery and skullduggery . . . guides with a lot of horse sense and fore- sight . . . assayers to weigh the gold.

Young serves as a wise, competent technical advisor to the school’s 4 policy-making group, the Board of School Trustees. a=. = An important position of public trust, the office of superintendent necessitates Dr. Young's working with the other administration officials, the faculty, and the students in order to form a smooth-running school system. 4 ' 4 At the close of his first year, Dr. Young still remembers the friendly reception tendered him by the people of Mishawaka. Although now an old friend to him, the unfamiliar building greatly impressed the new superintendent as it does most newcomers. After a thorough study of Mishawaka’s educa- tional problems, Dr. Young finds that one which is now particularly pressing in the grade schools will soon concern the high school. This is the in- crease in enrollment due to the expanding popula- tion and the rising birth rate. Although high school enrollment is small now because of the low birth rate of the depression, the number of high school students to come is swinging upward. This points to a need to increase the space for vocational work and to expand the personnel guidance staff. Along with other improvements, these will come with time and money. With extensive training and experience behind him, Dr. Young is well prepared for his work. His degrees include an A.B., Indiana State Teachers’ College, M.A., University of Wisconsin, and Ph.D.., New York University. Joun J. Younc Superintendent Finances and Maintenance The chief duties of Mr. Gerald Neff, who held the new post of Assistant Superintendent, concerned the management of the schools’ financial affairs. The pay- roll and other school expenditures were paid by his office. Club finances underwent his scrutiny since he acted as controller for the Board of Control. Mr. Neff holds a B.S., Manchester College and a M.S., Indiana University. Improvements and new equipment for M.H.S. were secured through Director of Plant Operation and Maintenance, Mr. Lowell Yaw. New paint jobs, mod- ern tiling on the library floor, and twentieth century desks brightened the school. Mr. Yaw received his train- ing at Indiana State Teachers’ College where he earned Lowrett D. Yaw Greratp R. NEFF B.S. and M.S. degrees. Director of Maintenance Assistant Superintendent (6) Mr. Myers Coordinates Departments To capable Principal Russell R. Myers falls the task of coordinating all the departments of Misha- waka High School into a well-functioning organ- ization. It is his responsibility to see that : these departments function so that each student, on emerging from high school, will have a well round- ed personality. An efficient high school system demands complex work and detailed planning, for example, a master schedule to prevent the conflict of classes. M.H.S. reflects the high standards that Mr. Myers holds for his school as shown by the unqualifiedly approved rating by the North Cen- tral Association of Schools. This same North Central Association launched a wide-spread survey called “Learn to Know Your Community.” Participating in the endeavor were the Parent Teachers Association, the social studies department, the faculty, and the Future Teachers of America. Interested in the type of people and the character of their occupations and interests, the committees sought to find out the apparent needs of the community. Questionaires were sent to graduates as well as to students who quit school to determine how the high school had served them best and least in terms of their after-school exper- ience. After the information is compiled by the committees, Mr. Myers and his faculty will have a vast amount of new and useful data. The results will be used to build a better program for the school. In preparation for his position as principal, Mr. Myers received his A.B. degree from Indiana Uni- versity and M.A. from the University of Chicago. Lynetra E. Witson Dean of Girls Frank W. CHAarpMANn Assistant Principal (7) RussELt R. Myers Principal Guidance and Discipline While Miss Lynetta Wilson, Dean of Girls, and Mr. Frank Chapman, Assistant Principal, came in contact with 1500 girls and boys throughout the school year, only a small percentage of these stud- ents entered their offices for disciplinary purposes. Instead, the two deans were more interested in eliminating the cause of the trouble before the fireworks occurred than in administering punish- ment. Students were quick to find a friend in Miss Wilson and Mr. Chapman. The degrees of Miss Wilson include A.B., Frank- lin College and M.A., University of Michigan while Mr. Chapman has an A.B., De Pauw Uni versity and A.M., Indiana University.

Eighth Year Most Successful The 1948-49 Student Council tackled more problems and stimulated more enthusiasm among the students than any other council in eight years of student govern- ment. Enterprising President Stanley Ross, undertaking such projects as an entire week end of activities fae the Central game, directed the fifty-one members throughout the year. Assisting him were Vice President Paul Nieuwland, Secretary Georgia Fulp, and Treasur- er Ed Partridge. Miss Lynetta Wilson capably handled the position of advisor. Student Council-planned pep sessions whooped up the excitement of fans before both football and basket- ball games. To follow up the games with still further energy-burning entertainment, the Council sponsored dances after four games. Snowmen and icicles gave frosty reminders that the midsemester dance was named the “Snow Ball.” To manage these affairs were Pep Sessions Chairman Jackie Spear and Social Chairman Pat Hartman. The Student Affairs Committee acted early in the year to make students conscious of the why’s and wherefore’s of locking their lockers. Careless students received a card—sometimes several —saying, “Please lock lockers.” The committee mailed the parents of three-time offenders letters warning them about the dangers of thefts. By the close of the year Chairman Walter Schoenegge felt the danger of unlocked lockers had been alleviated. Led by Milton Ross, Chairman of the Building and Grounds Beautification Com- mittee, the Councilers drew up blue prints for new trophy cases to be installed in the gym lobby. The Health and Safety Committee under the chairman- ship of Martha Duncan recommended and secured a new rub down table for the athletic squads. With these outstanding accomplishments behind them, the Student Council may well be proud of their lasting contributions to M.H.S. % 5 : z : SrupENT CounciL OrFicErs, Secretary Georgia Fulp, President Stanley Ross, Vice President Paul Nieuwland, Treasurer Ed Partridge, and Advisor Miss Wilson hear the reports of a successful year. ’ FOR SECRETARY Campatcn Intentions of Barbara Beutier are revealed ‘‘Prease Lock Locker.” These are the warnings that Norman in preparation for the Student Council primary election. unlocked lockers of negligent students. | as she places her posters on study hall bulletin board Weaver, Irene Greenaivalt, and Walt Schoenegge are placing in the | | SrupENT Councit—Top Row: Jennings, Sriver, Powell, J.

Recervinc Crass Jewetry from Mr. Armstrong is an exciting event in every senior’s life. Hamedy Jojo gazes at her ring. The Class of 49 entered Mishawaka High School in the fall after V-J Day with high hopes for a bright new future. The freshmen girls swung along in short pleated skirts and long “Sloppy Joe” sweat- ers in an effort to look like everyone else; the boys wore their shirt tails out. Afraid of being conspic- uous, they begged their mothers not to make them wear their rubbers when the weather forecast was “cloudy with showers.” In the fall of ’46 these sophomore know-it-alls eagerly directed the freshmen to their sponsor rooms on the third floor. With a year to explore the building from the greenhouse to the machine shop the class of 49 knew all the angles. The junior class organized in September, 1947, to elect Dick Miller, president; Chuck Barnard, vice president; Stanley Ross, treasurer; and Rita Snyder, secretary. Miss Ruby Perkins was their class sponsor. In their junior year they presented “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay,” their first class play, and held a magazine drive to finance the prom and to furnish the conference room as their class gift. In the fall sophisticated seniors from sponsor rooms 103 and 138 crammed into the busy days dates, football games, and studies—catching a wink of sleep now and then. First they elected their class officers who were football co-captain Tom Roggeman, president; Thespian Chuck Golba, vice president; football quarterback Mike Michele, treasurer; and Alltold news editor Loretta Triest, secretary. The first recognition of their “seniority” came with the arrival of the long awaited class jewelry in September. At last they had tangible proof that Senior Finat Exams in Spanish class perplex Sue Fuson, Don Petersen, Chuck Barnard, and Joan Callahan. i | | i i i | ) | they were no longer freshmen, sophomores, or jun- iors! However, life as a top dog was not all a pleas- ure. The first senior headache, a source theme assignment, was due the day before Christmas vacation. Not being allowed to forget graduation in the near future, the “49ers” were measured for their caps and gowns in the auditorium. In lengthened sponsor periods college representatives from Pur- due, Indiana, DePauw, and other universities dis- cussed the different types of colleges. The seniors returned from a two weeks’ Christ- mas vacation on January 3, determined to settle down and hit the books. For the 33 seniors with enough credits to graduate, the end of the semes- ter meant the end of their high school careers. ‘The other 278 continued to enjoy their last semester at M.H.S. In May and June activities for seniors-only cli- maxed the ev entful high school days of the forty- niners. The day the senior name cards arrived, a flurry of little white papers descended upon the once uncluttered halls. On May 21, Cap and Gown Day, the prospective graduates wrote their last exams. Between tests seniors flaunted caps and gowns before envious juniors and took snapshots of each other for future reference. The end of the day meant the end of classes for them at M.H.S. On June 3 the seniors danced with their guests at the Junior-Senior Promenade in the Palais Royale. The following week they attended Bac- calaureate and Class Night. In the presence of par- ents and friends the forty-niners ended a four year career at M.H.S when they received their diplo- mas at Commencement.

Jo’s literary ambitions are realized with the publication of her first story. Happiness abounds in the March home with father back from the war. Tracic Event, the loss of little Beth always an invalid grieves the March family even as they rejoice over the birth of Demi and Daisy. In Sprinc the young men’s fancies turn to thoughts of love. In the garden at Plumfield, Professor Bhaer finds courage to ask for Jo’s hand, while Laurie wins Amy. JurrrER Ammon — Twins! Laurie is overcome when he learns that while he has been in Europe, Meg’s family has doubled with the addition of twins. As their last dramatic production, the forty-niners presented Marion DeForest’s dramatized version of Louisa May Alcott’s famous Little Women. The play is the story of the life and problems of the delightful March family. The oldest of the four, Meg, was capable, affec- tionate, and very womanly. A mediator between Jo and Amy, she was calm and extremely feminine. Straight-forward Jo, who played brother to her three sisters, was intellectual and ambitious for a literary career. She was loved by all in spite of her sharp manner of speaking. Beth, kind and music loving, was all her pet name, Little Tranquility, suggested. An invalid, her hands were always occupied with sewing or knitting for others. Charming Amy, the artistic daughter of the March family, was continually bungling the pro- nunciation of the “vocal’abuary.” The “little women” as their father called them, were portrayed by Georgia Fulp as Meg; Shirley Proudfit as Jo; Jackie Ferretie and Anna Mari’ Malia as Beth; and Jackie Spear as Amy. Patricia Hartman and Don Petersen played the parts of Marmee and Mr. March. Others in the cast were Sherman Ostrum as Professor Bhaer, Charles Golba as Laurie, Gerald Manuel as John Brooke, Eva Rae Shapiro as Aunt March, Robert Norman as Mr. Laurence, and Martha Duncan as Hannah. Miss Emily K. Davidson, assisted by student coach Doris Pace, directed the production. Zapoc Grimes arrives unexpectedly and indignantly announces his intentions of writing another of his famed “who-dunnits.” 4m” CUCKOOS ON THE HEARTH 47 The junior class staged as their closs produc- tion, Parker W. Fennely’s mystery, Cuckoos on the Hearth. The play subtly combined suspense with witty comedy. Don Carlton, a young inventor, perfected a formula which he was to take to Washington for approval. Informed by Sheriff Prebble of the escape of a lunatic, Don hesitated to leave his bride Charlotte and his cousin Lulu alone. Zadoc Grimes, a partially deaf novelist, arrived just as Don was leaving. Having already written several mystery novels, Zadoc chose “Harmony Hearth” as an ideal spot for concentration. He arrived to find a plot for his new book, Horror at Harmony Hearth, already developing. Three spies disguised as a professor, an evangelist, and a doctor, came to the Hearth in search of the secret gas formula. Returning home unexpectedly only to be seized by the spies, Don was on the verge of revealing the location of the secret laboratory when Sheriff Prebble emerged from a coffin to set him free and to arrest the captors. The Pine View Sanitarium escapee disclosed his identity as he attempted to strangle Mrs. Carlton. The lunatic, posing as Sheriff Prebble, had killed the real Mr. and Mrs. Prebble earlier in the evening. Sharing honors for the production were: Dar- win Vance, Mara Geier, Jackie Baugher, Elaine Radecki, Ed Addison, June Wilson, Jim Ganser, Art Greenfield, Jim Smelser, Roscoe Yarbrough, Nina Sue La Place, Reta White, and Joe Heeter. Jeannette Anderson assisted Miss Emily David- son in the direction. Qurstioninc CarLTon in hopes of learning the secret gas formula, the spies were surprised by the appearance of the sheriff from the coffin. FormuLa THerr thwarted, the three spies were locked in the secret gas laboratory to await their release to higher authorities. Recrrinc Lines from the “Rubaiyat,” Prebble terrorizes a third victim, Charlotte, revealing his identity as the escaped lunatic.

JUNIORS A Entuustastic officers Holderman, Hitchner, Ross and Tavernier outline the year’s work facing an ambitious junior class. Class Successful in Well adjusted to the tempo of life at Mishawaka High School, the Class of 1950 organized for the first time to elect its own officers. Sponsor Merle Blue capably advised Richard Hitchner, president; Milton Ross, vice president; Billie Tavernier, secretary; and Mary Ann Holderman, treasurer. First on the agenda in ’49 was the presentation of Par- ker Fennelley’s drama, “Cuckoos on the Hearth”, with Elaine Radecki, Mara Geier, Darwin Vance, Art Green- field, Jim Ganser, and Jim Smelser in the main roles. During the annual magazine drive in March, each junior attempted to be the lucky prize winner.

Row Annual Magazine Drive in this drive was used to defray the expenses of the junior activities and to establish a fund for the class gift. After heated discussions concerning the possibility of obtaining class rings in the spring, it was unanimously decided to wait until September as in previous years. The students in the classrooms prepared projects, note- books, and daily lessons which at the time seemed unim- portant. Realizing the sudden inevitable nearness of spring, and then their senior year, the social-minded juniors excit- edly arranged for their prom held June 3, 1949 at the Palais Royale.

Second Year Uncovers A student in his second year is properly termed a sopho- more. Having completed his most trying year in high school he has new opportunities to participate in the many service, honorary, and departmental clubs. Feeling more secure in their schoolwork, sophomores developed leader- ship and new talents by serving on various committees. With Sponsor Margaret Moist’s aid in the selection of individual courses and electives, the sophomores planned their courses of study for the remaining two years of high school. The first signs of romance budded as the students learned to dance, began to date (some going steady) and to go to numerous parties with their various gangs.

L —ZzZ_7—7———ey «SOPHOMORES ER New Interests and Talents Changes occurred in the physical appearances of the students; the boys grew taller, sprouted bigger ears and feet, while the girls affected more glamorous hair and dress styles. They had countless hobbies ranging from tak- ing cars apart, roller skating and fishing to the fine arts of sewing and of constructing model airplanes. At the first of the season the “B” teams consisted largely of sophomores. Upon showing unusual talents the boys were boosted to varsity teams. Feeling well informed on such subjects as geometry, drafting, and Spanish, the sophomores awaited their new lives as upperclassmen and further education in more dif- ficult fields.

Contrary to gen- eral opinion a freshman is zealous and constantly soaring to reach new qualities in refinement. The year of 1948-1949 brought a new high in freshman enrollment. Ten junior high schools, one more than last year, sent 440 eager students to M.H.S. to exceed the num- ber of freshmen students in previous years; 100 more new students enrolled for the second semester. From the earliest days in grade school to the final days of the eighth grade, high school was a bewildering dream, presenting the terrific problem of where to go when and how to get there with the least amount of trouble.

Reaches New High during a rush hour, going up the wrong stairs, losing all sense of location in regard to lockers, and going to the wrong room only to be further embarrassed by finding a room full of upper classmen were woes prominent in the life of a freshman. To relieve the great discomfort of the first day, orientation meetings acquainted the new students with the building and peculiarities of life at Mishawaka High School. After experiencing many “firsts,” such as a first dance, a first assembly and a first football game, the freshmen ended their year eager to start another big year toward a final goal, graduation.

Secretary, Shirley Hambright, was never without typing to do while Beverly oStattord planned two subscription drives to sell 1000 books. Sherman Ostrom, accountant, and Walt Schoenegge, business manager, balanced books and kept the Miskodeed out of the red while Bob Overpeck snapped pictures of pertinent events. Spon- sors, Martha Miller and Dorothy Minett, offered assistance to inexperienced yearbookies. The Quill and Scroll Honor Society gave recog- nition to students for outstanding work on the Miskodeed and Alltold Staffs. Fifteen juniors and seniors, doing superior work on a publication staff and ranking in the upper one-fourth of their classes, were inducted at the April ceremony. Proud initiates were Lois Coyner, Georgia Fulp, Barbara Beutter, Beth Klein, Henry Nauts, Joan Norton, Sharon Smith, Robert Speybroeck, Eliz- abeth Taggart, Joyce Zimmerman, Clarise Smet, Doris Pace, Shirley Newcomer, Janet Eiswald, and Sherman Ostrom.

Students tabulated data from questionnaires to assist the North Central Association Survey. Not to be forgotten was the club’s trip to Manchester College for the regional conference. At the October meeting panel members discussed Federal Aid to Education. Informative talks concerning student teaching were presented on November 18 by Mr. Blue and Edgar Chamberlin. Other programs included Miss Sumiko Takano, South Bend exchange teacher from Hawaii, and Miss Helen Amos who spoke at a party given for Elkhart F.T.A.

Thirty-six seniors are the proud members of the National Honor Society. The M.H.S. chapter first organized in 1929, honors students who fulfill the high standards of character, scholarship, leadership, and service prescribed by the national organization. The new inductees were initiated into the society by solemn and impressive services | held in April and October assemblies. The panel discussion held in November ac- | quired a serious note as members discussed the requirements and duties of all Nation- al Honor Society members. Hard working students diverted their attention from serious programs to plan their banquet on December 2. In May they again turned from their scholarly pursuits and reverted to fun and games at the farewell party honoring departing seniors. Officers for the two semesters were presidents, Virginia Goeller and Gaylor Jones; vice presidents, Walt Schoenegge and Tom Roggeman; secretaries, Joann Kirkpatrick and Jean Steffens; treasurers, Bob Sherwin and Tom Books.

This large organization Ole o25, girls staged their annual November Nocturne dance and honored new members at the Recognition Tea early in the year. Other traditional activities of the club included decorating M.H.S. halls at Christmas time and presenting the annual Pre- Easter services in March. Two freshman get- acquainted parties, joint meetings with the Hi-Y, a birthday party in March, and a tea honoring senior girls in April were new highlights on the Y-Teen agenda. At the December meeting, Mrs. L. C. Campbell reviewed the book, Up at City High; Y-Teens benefited from a hair-styling dem- onstration by Mr. Charles Owen on January 6.

Always available, these operators aided in the visual education program by showing approximately 300 films a semester. The sixty members were required to take a special training course and pass a written test before be- coming certified operators. Nineteen operators this year received special certificates after passing these rigid examinations. President Jim Johnson, Vice President Sylvester Santuro, and Secretary- Treasurer Arlene Stafford were officers for the year; Mr. Darl Wood sponsored the club. (67) The Stage Crew members were not afraid of hard work as proved by their willingness to work long hours during and after school to aid other organizations. Always behind the scenes of play productions, the boys demonstrated their ability as electricians, curtain pullers, furniture movers, and general handy men. These capable back-stage workers maintained stage properties and equip- ment for pep meetings and other assembly pro- grams. Mr. Everett Welsh supervised this small service club of twelve boys.

Many signs and banners seen around school this year were the products of the art department, for art stud- ents and club members continually made posters in their spare time. Other projects included painting, chalk drawing, and portrait work. Members also studied pen and ink technique, made clay models, and did chip carving. At the March meeting, the club made a life mask out of plaster using a real model.

On November 22, Barbara Beutter and Virginia Goeller gave an original dramatic presentation of the organization of the United Nations. An outstanding program in Feb- ruary was Edward R. Murrow’s recordings entitled “I Can Hear It Now,” a chronicle of the war and years of crisis (1933-1945). Officers for the year were president, Gaylor Jones; vice president, Dick Miller; secretary, Virginia Goeller; treasurer, Sher- man Ostrom; program chairman, Herbert Dixon; and sergeant at arms, Chuck Golba. ents made photograms with articles arranged to form an abstract design; ink studies made on scratch board were especially attractive.

In November the Speech Club co-spon- sored with the Thespians the three-act play, Dear Ruth. Gloating seniors watched while underclass members worked long and hard planning the May banquet. Several Speech Clubbers displayed their talents on the stage to delight members at the Christmas party. Sponsor Emily K.

Miss Emily K. Davidson directed the production with the assistance of Student Director Eva Shapiro. The action took place in the living room of the Wilkins’ home in Kew Gardens, Long Island, N.Y., and revolved around the charming Ruth Wilkins, played by Jackie Spear, and her young sister Miriam, acted by Pat Hartman and Barbara Beutter on successive nights. Gaylor Jones was cast as the clever father, Judge Harry Wilkins, while Elaine Radecki portrayed Mrs. Wilkins. Sherman Ostrom interpreted the part of Ruth’s 4-F boyfrien d Albert, and Chuck Galba starred as the handsome Lieut. Bill Seawright. Other members of the cast included Joan Calla- han and Virginia Goeller as Martha Seawright, Dick Miller as Sergeant Chuck Vincent, Carl Gunderson as the sailor, and Jackie Baugher as Dora, the maid. Rutn’s PEen-Frienp appears to be a “very romantical kid” and Ruth wants to keep the forgery a secret from the lieutenant lest it affect his morale and spoil his furlough. Her fiance Albert, however, stormily disap- proves Ruth's plan. Jupce Wixxtns performs a hurried wedding ceremony for Martha and Chuck after they patch up an old lover's quarrel; shortly thereafter Bill marries Ruth in an even more hurried ceremony, and the two couples dash o for their honeymoon. (71) Comprications are inevitable when Lieut. Seawright arrives at the. Wilkins’ home unexpectedly, and the fam- ily discovers that Ruth’s problem sister Miriam has been writing scores of love letters to the lieutenant signing Ruth’s name. Last Straw for Albert comes when he is pushed from the subway by Martha, Bill’s sister, and can not get back on to follow Bill and Ruth on their sight-seeing trip be- cause he, a prominent bank executive, “didn't have a nickel.” Miriam Gasps in the final scene when, to her horror, sailor Klobbermeyer enters to inquire about “A Miss Ruth Wilkins.” Fate has caught up with Miriam again and another one of her efforts to be patriotic has backfired.

Blue Look Is New Look The lovely and impressive Christmas vesper service thrilled an audience which over-flowed the high school auditorium on the Sunday afternoon and the Monday evening before Christmas. The A Capella Choir spent weeks in preparation, under the expert direction of Miss Lucine Jones, to pro- claim the Christmas message in song with the colorful living pictures of famous paintings in the background. The beautiful rose window, familiar carols, and Mozart's “Alleluia,” sung by the girls in the choir and a supplementary chorus of 30 girls from the glee club, resulted in a pro- gram which attained wide attention in this area. Fast becoming a tradition is the vocal assembly (76) presented for the students; on March 15 the Choir and Cecilians entertained their audience with a combination of serious and light program numbers. ‘The Choir also appeared with the Band and Orchestra at the annual Spring Musicale.

As a unique sendoff for the 1948 season, the townspeople, students, players, and coaches as- sembled to hear the rousing words of pepper- upper DeLoss Walker from Chicago. Following a pep meeting around a bonfire, the students snake-danced to the center of town. In the games which followed, the team never lacked student support despite the poor season. In the first game with Hammond the eyes of the fans were focused upon both the team and the new coaches, Earl Hoker and Garnett DeBaun. Veteran halfback Dick Miller romped through the enemy lines nine yards per carry for the out- standing performance in that encounter. Num- erous times throughout the season Miller electri- fied the crowds with long kickoff and punt re- turns. For his brilliant performances the South Bend Tribune sports writers selected him a mem- ber of the Twin-City team. The spotlight was focused on Gerry Manuel in the Elkhart contest as he completed seven of his ten tosses; one to Fred Baker resulted in the only Maroon touchdown of the evening. Tom Roggeman, an outstanding lineman in all games, received the distinction of being named to the Twin-City and All-conference squads. His teammates showed their esteem for him by voting him the most valuable player award. The team also elected Roggeman and Miller co-captains for the season. eR ed ee reine Hr-y present Dick Aldrich crowns Her Majesty Joan Johnson at the Coronation Ball.

Ross Andrea Managers: Barnette Vernasco Coffman Heeter, Nesbitt, DePoy ‘Maroons Defeat Central For the first time in nine years the Mishawaka Cave- men snared a share of the conference championship. The Maroons divided the crown with Central, whom they defeated in two of three contests. Practice for Vic Wukovits’ tall cagers began early in October in preparation for the rugged season ahead. When the Maroons opened their season against Mun- cie Burris, they were just rounding into shape. The Owls, with three games already under their belts, handed the Cavemen basketeers a close defeat, 39-38. This loss constituted the only Mishawaka reversal on the home court during the season. In the ensuing two contests, Mishawaka had little trouble disposing of Plymouth and Lew Wallace of Gary. Neal Tracy harrassed the Wallace boys with his overhead shots as he pushed in seven goals in the first half. In the Maroons’ first collision with Central, a non- conference affair, Mishawaka jumped off to an early lead, then nearly wilted under the fourth quarter pyrotechnics of the never-say-die Bears. When his two gigantic buddies fouled out, the job of dominating the banks fell upon 6 feet 5 in ch Dick Freeman; he re- sponded by controlling most of the rebounds. The Vicmen staved off the rally, winning 44-42. On December 10 the Mishawakans met the Goshen Redskins in a sluggish game. The smaller Redskins stalled the entire game, but were unsuccessful in their endeavor to defeat the Maroons. For three quarters the Riley Wildcats gave the Ma- roons a scare as they held the Cavemen to a precari- ous four point margin. In the fourth period, however, the Mishawaka netmen exploded for twenty-three points to win a comfortable victory. It was the substi- tutes’ night to shine as Ed Clark and Harold Coffman whipped eleven and nine points through the hoop to subdue the Cats. During Christmas vacation the Mishawaka sky- larks engaged the North Side quintet on the Ft. Wayne floor. With Neal Tracy leading the attack, the Ma- roons won their third straight, and most important, conference encounter thus far. On New Year's Day the Cavemen met the strong Ft. Wayne Central Tigers in a holiday tournament game and squeezed past them 45-44. In the championship game the North Siders avenged a previous Caveman defeat by winning 43-28. It took an unbelievable rally in the last minute for the Maroons to capture the Adams contest. Led by spark plug, Wally Vernasco, the Mishawaka five scored eight points in the final minute of play to tie in Two of Three Contests the ball game. Vernasco plunked in two free throws which knotted the count with only three seconds to go. The Maroons outscored the Eagles by six points in the overtime to win 56-50. Mishawaka continued on its merry path to the championship by downing the Elkhart Blue Blazers on January 14. The following night a well-schooled South Side Ft. Wayne squad upended the Cavemen 39-32 in a non-conference affair. Vic’s boys encountered a fighting LaPorte team in their next conference tilt. Leading 27-19 at the end of the third quarter, the Cavemen had a lapse of memory and woke up on the short end of a 32-29 score. This loss was the Maroons’ first and only defeat in confer- ence play and set the stage for the battle with Central the following Thursday. The day before the momentous Central game re- serve forward Ed Clark suffered a compound fracture of the right leg. The Maroons were an inspired ball club as they took the floor to win for him. Six Ma- roons looped in seven or more points apiece as Misha- waka defeated the Bruins 53-46. This win put the Cavemen in a tie for the conference lead. Two days later the Maroons met highly touted Auburn. Mishawaka, led by John Benjamin, jumped off to an early lead and held it throughout the game winning 51-45. The Red Devils lost their first game of the year. Mishawaka easily disposed of the Michi- gan City team, but Froebel of Gary overpowered them the next night. Only one game stood between the tall Maroons and a sure tie for the conference title. The Mishawakans, however, ran into an inspired Panther squad who battled the Cavemen vigorously from start to finish. The game was in doubt until the final twenty seconds, when Neal Tracy scooped up a loose ball and tucked it in for a tie-breaking counter. Freeman and Tracy with 19 and 18 points were high for the Cavemen. : In the Culver encounter, the Mishawaka boys hit from all angles as they scalped the Indians 74-55. ‘The Cavemen trailed in the first three stanzas of the Win- amac contest but won, 40-34. The luck of the tournament drawing pitted the two sectional favorites, Mishawaka and Central, against each other in the first round. At one time the Maroons held a ten point advantage but the Bears whittled it down to three with one minute remaining. Andy Toth turned joy to grief for hysterical Mishawaka fans as he scored the winning basket for Central in the last five seconds. Portolese Thurston Tracy Coach Wukovits Au AWA has Benjamin M.

Cavemen Win Coveted An experienced track squad coached by John Farney put in some hard pre-season training to develop into 1948 sectional champions. For the first time since 1944 Mishawakans triumphed in the sectional meet. The Caveman mile relay team, although it clipped two seconds off the standing sectional record, was beaten by inches. The half-mile relay team, composed of Joe Vernasco, Kenny Feather, Stanley Ross, and Dick Dennison, set a new sectional record of 1:33.5 to take top honors. This same relay team finished third in the state meet a week later. Mishawaka ranked high in the other important meets, placing fourth among such tough com- petition as Froebel and Roosevelt of Gary at the Goshen Relays. In the Eastern division meet, spirited Maroons ran second behind a highly re- garded Fort Wayne North squad. Dennison in the low hurdles and Feather in the 220 yard dash were barely beaten in record breaking times. The half-mile relayers ran away from the field, winning by ten yards.

The new record breaking times proved too much for Maroon runners, who finished sixth in the meet. Cavemen relay teams placed third and fourth in their races, even though they ran their best times of the season. Opening the season with indoor meets at Notre Dame the Mishawaka aggregation finished third and second place in the two meets. Milt Ross, vaulting 11 feet 3 inches, and the half mile relay team, running 1:37.4, set new Eastern Division indoor records. In three dual meets the Cavemen easily sur- passed the opposition. The trackmen swamped a weak Goshen team 93-16, then continued their winning ways to score 67¥2 to 32! over John Adams and 71-38 over a strong Hammond Tech Squad.

Batsmen Badly Battered Swamped by a deluge of opponents’ runs, the 1948 Maroon swatters struggled through another strenuous season to win only three of twelve games. A strong Red Imp team spoiled the conference opener for the Cavemen by defeating them 7-5. Despite the three-base hits of Kollar, Hocker, and Moore, the Cavemen lost an extra-inning affair to Riley’s Wildcats 8-7. Washington soundly thrashed the Mishawaka club 16-1 in the next conference game. Mishawaka hit its stride to snatch its only league win in a close 3-2 victory over John Adams. In the next two games LaPorte and Central pitchers threw successive shutouts against the Misha- wakans. At the Riley game, although Nichols and Kollar each swatted a homer, “Bake’s” boys returned on the short end of a 11-4 score. Elkhart then closed out a disastrous season for the Maroons by winning a 6-3 decision over the Cavemen nine. Opp. A GIRS: Opp. Fulton 3 1 Washington 16 Central Catholic 15 11 John Adams 2 S. B.

Harriers Capture Conference Title Riding the crest of twenty-eight consecutive dual victories, the Mishawaka cross-country team swept past all northern opposition to capture the conference title, the sectional championship, and second place in the state meet. Seasoned Maroon harriers inaugurated the season for their new mentor, Francis Hill, with smashing victories over Goshen and Riley of South Bend in a triangular meet. The Hillmen encountered their stiffest competition in a meet between the Blue Blazers of Elkhart and the Adams Eagles. A well- balanced Maroon squad narrowly averted defeat by the Blazers, winning 26-30, but Adams offered little opposition as they fell to the spirited Mishawaka distance men 19-40. Central of South Bend, LaPorte, Washington, and North Side Ft. Wayne fell in uick succession before the onslaught of the powerful Cavemen. Led by Don Wood, Lawrence Healy, Ed Partridge, and Stan Ross, the cross-countrymen won the N.LH.S.C. title. The Misha- wakans, in order to qualify their team for the state finals, had to compete with all teams entered in the sectional meet. The Maroons easily accomplished the feat, winning by 42 points over their near- est competitor, LaPorte. In the state meet the Anderson Indians, led by John Stayton, outran the Cavemen and won the meet for the third straight year. Two and three year veterans who will be graduating include Co-captains Lawrence Healy and Don Wood, Ralfe Kaiser, Ed Partridge, Jim Lang, Bill Butts, Stan Ross, Roy Catanzarite, and Chuck Golba.

Because of a change in the conference schedule from fall to spring, the South Bend schools did not play golf. Six lettermen, playing their first match under the tutelage of Vic Wukovits, lost to a strong LaPorte team. When the Cavemen golfers returned the visit to LaPorte, they evened the score by winning 9 3-8¥. This score was identical to the one by which LaPorte had earlier defeated the Maroons. In a closely contested match with Valparaiso the Vicmen battled their way into a 6-6 draw. Two con- tests with Michigan City followed, Mishawaka easily taking both decisions 1142-% and 12-0. In the latter contest sophomore John Mullin scored a sparkling 72 two under par. Featured ventures in the spring included the regular conference schedule, the Mishawaka Invitational Meet, and the state meet. 1948 Golf Ne cam 4 Despite Ep Crarx’s body English the ball just doesn’t September 20 LaPorte want to drop into the cup.

After beating South Bend Central to win the Eastern Division conference championship on Oc- tober 14, the Cavemen whitewashed the Ham- mond squad (winners of the Western Division) by a score of 5-0. The team had disposed of Mich- igan City, LaPorte, Elkhart, Riley, Adams, Gosh- en, and South Bend Central in short order to gain the championship laurels. These victories, coupled with two last spring and the Hammond match, extended the racqueteers’ winning streak to ten straight.

Maulers Defeat Polecats During the basketball season the physical educa- tion department offered an intramural hardwood program to any boy or girl attending the high school. Four nights a week students played basketball for the fun of it and learned the whys and wherefores of the sport. Wednesday nights the eight teams of the junior- senior league vied for championship laurels under the direction of Mr. John Farney. On March 1 the Maulers defeated the Polecats for the league title, 49-20. The Dribblers finished third; the Buccaneers, fourth; and the Timid Souls, Foul Outs, All Stars, and Shmoos, in the second division. There was a three way tie for the leadership of the sophomore league among the Rounders, Mud- hens, and Pistons. Under Coach Vic Wukovits each of these quintets won three contests while losing one. Other squads in this loop, the Minute- men, Whirlwinds, and the Netrippers, were even- ly matched in their Tuesday encounters. In the freshman circuit on Monday evenings the Blazers, led by Jim Boomhower, became the tourney champs when they defeated Tony Catanzarite’s Kings by a 26 to 19 score. Other frosh fives were the Shmoos, Grave Diggers, Cyclones, DeAmicas, Globe Trotters, and Stags. The first year men with Mr. Garnett DeBaun at the helm produced some high scoring games and keen competition in their tournament. Thursday the supposedly weaker sex, six girls’ teams, competed for honors in the roundball sport under the direction of Miss Martha Cornick. Sen- ior and junior teams captured the greater portion of all the tournaments and practice games played dur- ing the season. Girts Prepare for rebound as the ball soars toward basket. Girls play at slower pace than boys, but show as much enthusiasm. Float Wins Cider and Donuts An active year ended when the members of the Girls’ Athletic Association attended an award banquet at which time numerals, letters, and plaques were _pre- sented. The girls who earned 350 points received the coveted plaques, highest possible G.A.A. honor. Team loyalty is the highest ambition of each mem- ber. The G.A.A. girls learn to feel that the outcome of the game is not as important as playing the game in a sportsmanlike manner. The club was proud of the first prize it won in the pep parade before the Central football game, their float prophesying “Central doesn’t have a ghost of a chance.” After receiving the prize which consisted of donuts, cider, and candy donated by local merchants, the G.A.A. held a buffet supper at the Beutter farm. The regular meetings were held the fourth period each Monday and Wednesday; play nights, each Thursday night. The 68 members participated in a varied program this year including speedball, volley- ball, badminton, and soccer in the fall; basketball, tumbling, trampoline work, and bowling in the win- ter months; and archery, softball, and track events in the spring season. To further the girls’ athletic pro- gram, soccer, trampoline work, bowling, and archery were initiated this year. In the spring these energetic athletes enjoyed a picnic-hike followed by softball, archery, and horseshoe pitching. G.A.A. Orricers, Delores Beutter, and Nancy Endicott com- pute points for numerals with G.A.A. sponso r, Miss Cornick. Loretta Triest, secretary-treasurer, was absent when the pic- ture was taken.
