The Scenes With Cyrano The Y-Teens is the largest club in school, but not the oldest. As early as 1915 the Art Club was operating while the Science Club and Commercial Club were active in 1918. The Y-Teens, like many other organizations, has ac- quired a new name during the years. M4 of the students are hall guides sometime in their high school careers.

New Ideas Added to Old Routine In addition to annual projects, many prob- lems were relegated to the six standing com- mittees for investigation. Upon recommenda- tion of the Building and Grounds Committee, the school ordered one dozen new flags. Most students were unaware of the work by council members involved before each game in ob- taining players' names from various schools for the roster in the gym. The parade and the Coronation Ball before the Central game and the Bitter-Sweet Midsemester Dance were tra- ditional features of the year's program.

In- dividual performer of the day, Stan Ross, ran a brilliant 51.4 seconds in the 440-yard dash to break the sectional record, the all time Mishawaka track and field record, and to tie the Tupper Field record. Later in the same meet Walt Schoenegge, Lawrence Healy, Dick Baldwin, and Stan Ross shattered the all time Mishawaka track and field record by 2.3 sec- onds, to set a new mile relay record of 3 min- utes, 33.2 seconds.

On May 27, several members of the team journeyed to the state meet at Indianapolis where Milt Ross vaulted 12' to tie for third and fourth, Mishawaka's only points. For his hard work, success, and good sportsmanship, Milt Ross received the Walter Dutch Thurs- ton most valuable track and field award. The outstanding Ross-brother combination who led the team in ,individual scoring, con- tributed much toward a highly successful season. Milt racked up a total of 13715 points, and Stan scored 1061!4 points.

In the game that counted, however, the Bears turned the tables by triumphing over the Cavemen, 7-4. During the season three homers, two whacked by Dan Nesbitt, and one by Jim Dewald, zipped over the enemy fielders' heads. Infielders fired the ball in and out to chalk up a total of six double plays. Dewald led the batting average with .400, while the team's average reached .292. Ward Baker retired as head coach to ter- minate eight years of coaching. Bake, well liked by all the batsmen, was succeeded by a capable leader, George Wilson.

These linksmen, coached by Vic Wuko- vits, played twelve conference matches, win- ning six and losing as many. In the Misha- waka-Central match, the Bears saw the con- ference crown slipping away, but managed to conquer the Cavemen by a score of 61!2 to 55. The two big meets of the season were the LaPorte Invitational in which the Maroons placed eighth, and the state sectional in which they finished eleventh. At the LaPorte Invita- tional Joe Becraft fired a round of 77 to tie for medalist honors, but lost the trophy in the playoff.

Confer- ence crown for the second consecutive year and extended its victories to 22 straight. With the Eastern Division title under their belts, the Arndtmen white-washed the Western Di- vision champs, East Chicago Washington, by a score of 5-0 for the conference title. The trophy winners opened the season by disposing of a strong Central team ,by a score of 4-1. The team next blanked North Side Fort Wayne and Riley by scores of 5-0. Five days later in the Adams match, the closest contest of the season, the Cavemen dropped two of the three singles matches and then, trailing 2-1, rallied to take both doubles matches, winning 3-2. Goshen followed on the Cavemen agenda, and the champs successfully by-passed them with a score of 4-1. On September 29, the Cavemen faced Elkhart, runner-up in the Eas- tern Division. After getting off to a slow start, the racketeers polished off the Blazers with a 3-2 score. The Mishawakans easily won the championship crown by defeating Michigan City and LaPorte by scores of 5-0. 37 Straight, Second in State he nonathletic student often wonders why athletes are always training, meeting the ten o'clock curfew, foregoing cake, pie, and candy, and practicing long hours after school. The fans of the 1949 cross country team now realize why perfect physical condition is im- portant, for the Cavemen, with practically no experience in distance running, worked and trained themselves into the runner-up spot in the state finals. The Maroon harriers, with one returning veteran, swept every single conference meet plus the Niles meet to make their consecutive victory string read 37. As the conference champions, the Hillmen entered the sectional meet outdistancing LaP'orte and Central to become the chief threat to Anderson's state title. Ralph Powell, fastest Mishawaka man, finished fifteenth in the state run, as the Cave- men placed second to the Anderson harriers.

Dykstra Drills Fundamentals Into Young Football Squad eaturing a squad composed of sophomores, juniors, and a few seniors, Mishawaka High and their new football coach, Gene Dykstra, began to build for future years. Coach Dykstra, stressing all the fundamentals necessary for playing good football, put his team through its paces during fall practice to condition his team for the '49 season. Mishawaka's final count came to one victory and eight defeats. Midway through the season the Maroons shone brilliantly, defeating a highly touted Goshen eleven 18 to 7. They tore the Goshen line to shreds and completely bottled up the Redskins' passing attack. Elkhart, on the preceding Friday, however, threw out a tor- rid passing attack and stopped the Cavemen marches on the ground, Mishawaka connected on several passes and scored three T.D.'s by this method. In playing the teams in the Lake Michigan area, Hammond, Michigan City, and East Chi- cago Washington, the Cavemen were drowned 102 to 6. At times the Maroons showed a lot of power and driveg but, on the whole, tho op- position was never in trouble. The Maroon cause was greatly undermined in the first game of the season against Hammond when Wally Vernasco fractured his leg. The Dykstramen faired much better against South Bend schools. Even though they lost all their games to these four schools, they scored 42 points to their opponents' 95. The Tupper Field invaders, Central, Washing- ton, and Riley, showed too much brute strength in the line and speed in the backfield for the Cavemen. Mishawaka lost a heartbreaker to John Adams. After leading 18 to 14, the Ma- roons lost 27 to 18. UP. UP, AND AWAY the ball sails toward the cross bar as the lines clash in terrific combat.

In the past season the Maroons drilled 334 field goals through the hoop to the oppositionls 279 and sank 232 charity tosses to 198 for their opponents. The officials called 351 fouls against the adversary as compared to 334 against Mishawaka. The Mishawaka Basketeers, playing their first three games on the road, defeathered the Burris Owls to avenge their '48 loss and lick- ed the Plymouth Pilgrims, but the Anderson 62 Indians tripped up the Cavemen for their first loss in three starts, The scoreboards read lVI.H.S. 61, Central 45 at the end of the fourth game of the season. The Maroons crushed the Bruins with a tre- mendous second-lialf rally. Mishawaka started fast in the conference scramble by defeating Goshen, Riley, North Side of Fort Wayne, and John Adams. The Maroons played superb ball in all of the con- tests and not once were the issues in doubt. In the four-game span the starting lineup of Frayman, Tracy, Benjamin, Coffman, angl Ross scored 15, 48, 50, 33, and 24 points respectively. After the Elkhart Blue Blazers, the first team to defeat the Cavemen in a conference tilt, took an early lead, the Mishawakans fought back hard coming within three points of the Blazers' score at half time. Elkhart again went out in front and was ahead except for a brief period early in the fourth quarter. On the night after the Elkhart game the Maroons humbled eleventh-ranked Fort Wayne South Side in a non-conference battle. The scoring honors were well divided among the Cavemen as they dropped in 52 points. The Maroons split their next two loop games defeating LaPorte 70-61 and losing to the Central Bears 56-45. Both contests were wild-scoring affairs with neither completely settled until the final gun. The conference schedule ended in fine style when the Michigan City Devils and the Washington Panthers fell before the onslaught of the invading Cagers from Mishawaka. Of the remaining four games the Maroons lost but one. They were defeated by Froebel, third-ranked team in the state. The other three games with Auburn, Culver, and Wina- mac were easily won and uneventful except that Big John Benjamin broke the twenty-four year old scoring record for the Mishawaka gym by scoring 34 points. In the sectional the Cavemen won their first game against Washington, but they lost to a scrappy bunch of Eagles from John Adams. Jack Frayman and Harold Coffman flipped in two pointers to give the Maroons a one point lead with less than a minute to go, Adams, however, was not to be denied, and Mel Ed- gerton sank the winning basket.

Beutter Twins Head G.A.A. 66 uchl Stop kicking my shins, shouted a girl as two players entangled themselves while trying to get possession of the ball in a fast game of speedball. Speedball was only one of the sports in which the G,A.A. participated. Others were deck tennis, basketball, and soft- ball. The G.A.A. met every Thursday night and Monday and Wednesday during fourth hour under the sponsorship of Miss Valeria Grey, who introduced field hockey to the girls for the first time at lVI.H.S. To erase a deficit from previous years, the G.A.A. sold salt water taffy and book covers. The Beutter twins, Delores and Lois, held the offices of president and vice president re- spectively. The secretary-treasurer was Mari- lyn Honold. G.A.A.-Top Row: Dawson, Stump, Alkire, Ludwig, Bles- brouck, DeVlieger, LeMere, Matz, Kelley.

N X 5, 'Ill l l -.A Census of People 'if 7 Conforming' to a nation wide trend, the enrollment in Mishawaka High School continued to grow to new heights. The sec- ond semester statistics revealed the facts that the 627 freshmen constitute 39.1 per cent of the entire high school enrollment of 1607 and surpassed the combined number of seniors and juniors. Sophomores rank sec- ond in population with 377, followed by 329 juniors and 274 seniors. This increase shows 5.72 per cent more students going to high school now than during the first semester. 69 People , Mlm sim? 6' ,, V ' Q 'i!'f,fJ X U! Z j Lost: Betty 'ual 'ff Trailers house 2.16 per cent of the students. While a slightly higher percentage, 2.95, live in apartments, a large majority of students, 94.89 per cent, live in houses. More sophomores, 97.1 per cent, live in houses than any other class. A's and F's are put on report cards by Mr. Francis Hill. Chances are slim that the grade is an A, for only 9.5 per cent of all grades earned are A's. A more comforting thought is that the majority of the grades are C's and B's. Happily, only 3.2 per cent of the grades issued are Fls. Hutton's Papa Don't Preach to Me. This record was one of a Wide variety of articles that was turned into the lost and found department of the bookstore this year. Among the long list of items were keys, belts, gym-suits, and jackets. - f'-f - -- -muah- In the Halls With Are students getting healthier? Records prove that students are either getting healthier or have a new yearn- ing for school. Checking the attend- ance, Mrs. Ruth Heeter finds that the percentage of attendance, 96.7, is con- siderably higher than last year's 95.5. 113 of the students get up at 7:00. Most of the students are out of bed and gulping down a rather skimpy break- fast by 7:00. While only 32.4 per cent of the senior boys prepare their own breakfasts, 48.8 per cent of the sopho- more girls make their own toast before dashing for the bus. yrano Bargmeyer, getting his semi-monthly short cut, has his crop of hair trimmed to about an inch in front and a fourth of an inch in back. The butch or crew hair cut is worn by 18.59 per cent, or nearly 115 of the boys in school. Q- iilil i A f .-64? W Looking to a Bright Future n important change will be effected during the summer of 1950 in the transferring of the superintendent's office to the top floor of the new city administration building. This move was recommended by the state inspectors to provide needed office space. Dr. John J. Young, Superintendent of Schools, acts as the technical advisor to the Board of Trustees. By advance planning of next year's curriculum, personnel changes, and equipment installation, he insures a school organization which functions efficiently. Dr. Young takes an active part in com- munity affairs as a leader in the Great Books movement, a speaker of the P. T. A. study groups, and a Kiwanian. Through his connec- tions with community affairs, Dr. Young feels that he has made as many friends here in two years as he made during twenty years in Rocky River, Ohio. IOHN I. YOUNG Superintendent Determining School Policies THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, the legislative branch of the school city, determines school policies and administers tax money. ln August, because of public pressure, the mayor and city council increased the number ot members from three to five. The members of the Board are lseatedl Mr. A. E. Burghg Dr. C. O. loestg Mrs. Vivian Carlit. secretaryg lstandingl Mr. C. A. Jennings, presidentg and Mr, F. I. l-lums, treasurer. RUSSELL R. MYERS Principal Maintaining High Standards urrounded by the bustle of the everyday activities of office personnel, Principal Rus- sell R. Myers solves such problems as the bud- get, curriculum, and the lack of seating capacity in the gym. This executive also is directly re- sponsible for the success and fine reputation of Mishawaka High School, one of the Indiana schools to receive the highest rating by the North Central Association. In order to cor- relate the work of the disciplinarians, teachers, book store manager, counselors, and mainten- ance staff, Mr. Myers puts in many overtime hours. lVith his enthusiastic support, the stud- ent council participates in school government to prepare teenagers for citizenship in their later life. Since 1939 Mr. Myers has served as prin- cipal, except for a three-year period in the Navy. Before coming to Mishawaka he held a similar position at East Chicago Roosevelt High School. 1 Fulfilling Essential Positions he assistants to the administrators carry out the policies of the principal and super- intendent. As Dean of Girls, Miss Lynetta Wil- son takes a genuine interest in the girls and helps them with problems from school adjust- ments to family relations. When Mr. Frank Chapman was promoted to a new position, Principal of Battell School, Mr. Walter John- son, with his crew haircut and friendly smile, stepped into the office as Acting Assistant Prin- cipal and Dean of Boys. Assistant Superintend- ent, Gerald Neff, controls the school city's fi- nancial affairs, the school activities funds, and payroll. LYNETTA E. WILSON WALTER IOHNSON FRANK W. CHAPMAN GERALD R.

The selection of a place to live confronts the entire teaching staff, not only the 52.8 per cent that are married. During the school year 49 per cent live in houses, 42 per cent in apartments, and 9 per cent in rooms. To solve the problem of transportation peculiar to this modern era, 83 per cent of the faculty own automobiles, which, regardless of their condi- tion, serve the purpose. This year each teacher met an average of 120 students daily. It is no wonder that 54.7 per cent wear glasses to aid them in detecting the high school students' many misdemeanors. During the vacation period, 40.4 per cent of the faculty travel to the four corners of the U. S., scme even reach Canada and Mexico. Those who remain at home engage in their favorite sports, raise gardens, and repair their homes. Some continue their educa- tions, while others just rest. Chiselers, gripers, and show-offs capture the top spot among the pet peeves of the faculty. People who stick gum under desks also irritate teachers. Many are irked by alarm clocks, telephones and radios, as well as tardiness, profanity and laziness. INTERESTING HOBBIES, from craft work to collections, consume the few leisure hours of many of the teachers. Mrs. Koh- ler is using a few sparc moments to work on a Christmas scarf, while Miss Heim- bach is just knitting for pleasure. These and other lengthy projects suffer from the lack of spare time. Although craftwork appeals to many teachers, photography has a lure for some of the more patient ones, MISS DUNN, like most teachers, partici- oetes in several professional organizations. As the State Bulletin Editor of the AA. U,W., she compiles lndiana's 5,000 mem- oer mailing list. Mishawaka teachers be- long to an average of 4.9 professional glubs, church organizations. and civic groups. ONE THIRD of the teachers are married and have an average of l.78 children, If David Baker, son of Ward Baker, believes that having a teacher parent is a dis- advantage, he doesn't express his views publicly. At school as at home, father and son discuss son's shenanigans in father's World History class. fi 79 Detective or Dentist? General course or college preparatory? These are only two of the many important decisions to be made by seniors planning their last year's Work. Margaret Britt, faced with the weighty problem of getting into a friendls typing class, consults head sponsor Mr. Merle Blue. Dan Nesbittls question, Which end is up? is a typical reaction of the physics student toward his equipment, although Sally Fritz and Carl Mahler show more con- fidence. M.H.S. offers a complete three year science course to the five seniors who plan to become scientists. Fountain Pen may not work when signing Miskodeecls, and the mortarboard may feel odd, but it's a Wonderful day for seniors like Denny Weber, Rose La Cava, and Dick Bidlack. Cap and Gown Day didn't mean the end of classes for 43 per cent of the graduating class who plan on fu- ture education. Seniors Shun Work Choose Relaxation One Coke flavored with the latest scan- dal makes a relaxing drink after a long day in school for Elizabeth Schmidt, Dolores Giacomini, and Pat Thompson. Even for privileged seniors the school day means four classes, since 70 per cent of upperclassinen carry a full load of subjects. Homework-the kind teachers don't assign in class! Scorning an evening at the movies because of a lack of funds, Pat Tassell and Bob Clark decide to entertain themselves. Pat and Bob are part of the 37 per cent of the senior class who have taken the plunge and now go steady, averaging seven dates a month. You only live once. thinks Betty Pekari as she plans to spend two weeks' salary on a prom dress. Other senior girls, like admiring friend Sue Santuro, spend an average of S32 on clothes for the Prom. After an evening of dancing and a party, however, they can look back on the most important social event of the year.

When asked what subject they en- joyed most, 16 per cent answered chemistry, and 14 per cent chose English. Although school work took up most of a third year stu- dent's time, 50 per cent of them earned wages as babysitters, filling station attendants, and stock boys. They earned an average of 812.35 a week for their efforts. Another 39 per cent received regular allowancesg the remainder depended on pop's generosity when the need arose. Juniors spent, on the average, 34.80 a week. Class Elects Officers ' 40 Becoming more interested in social life, the Class of 1951 attended plays, dances, club meetings, and sports events. Most of the class, 75.8 per cent, had seen a track meet, but 55 per cent preferred to see a basketball game. Social minded juniors dated an average of 5.5 times a monthg 60 per cent jived or at least stood at the edge of the floor at one or more school dances. Other outside activities from scouting and 4-H, to church groups and Rainbow filled in their social calendars. Jun- iors averaged 1.5 memberships in outside clubs. At mid-semester, juniors in the library, 111, 122, 124, and most of 130 puffed out their chests and ousted the seniors from 103 to make room for the influx of freshmen. THE CLASS OF 'Sl organized this year for the first time to elect officers and prepare for another year's activities. Elected to carry out these duties were lim Orlosky, pres- identg Gene Addison, vice-presidentg Doris Daffron, sec- retaryg and loyce Steinke, treasurer.

S., the sophomores learned that the halls must be quiet during lunch hour and that going to lockers is permitted only between classes. The boy meets girl problem became more acute. Hair styles and clothes acquired a touch of individuality but still conformed to the prevailing pattern. Dances proved to be more fun than parlor games, and yearnings to be a fireman were discarded for aspirations to the life of a sports writer. When asked what subject they would prefer, 8 per cent B favored biology while 5 per cent chose the shops. In order for these ambitious second-year students to buy candy for their dates, and an after-game coke, 22 were babysitters, and ' 19 peddled or walked through all kinds of weather delivering f papers, Abbott, Albert, Bob Al- lison, Buelah Allison, Ally, Ames, Anderson, Andrews.
