One section meets the lirst period and an- other the third. The ob- iective of this course is a better appreciation ot our Spanish speaking neighbors to the south through the study of their language and customs. Learning some ot the Spanish Christmas carols was an interesting feature of the first semester. Du'- ing the second semester sorne ot the Spanish folk- sonqs will be D'esented along with units on the Customs of the people, Page Fourteen CHEMISTRY Chemistry is the science of the construction of substances and the changes which they undergo. Dozens of new sub- stances including drugs, dyes, textiles, foods, and fuels have been created by the skill and thought of the chemist and his associated scientists. Better living comes through better things through chemistry. BEGINNING TYPING f d s a j k l : space etc. Step number one for these students in the 6th period class. When we first look at a typewriter it looks like a puzzle. How can we ever learn those keys? At the end of the year it's all so simple. Now we all love to type. GOVERNMENT The Advanced Civics Class is a course required by the State of Indiana. The course is organized to teach State and local government the second semester. More important. however, than the mechanics of government are factors which contribute to good citi- zenship and democracy. 11 QMN 1,1111-11 - 1 1 5 1 1 11 .1 1 1-111111 1-.21 11- 111, , 11 1 1 1,11 ' A ',1': 1 1 8111, 11 111 1 ag 1 Q1--Q 1.1 ' :H 11w1 '51 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 'I A '11 1-1 11 1, 1 11 1 '1 1 1 1 V' '1,1.11, 11 1 W1 ,IL .rkff - W! 1-1111 1'1'11:1! .1511 1 V 1, C1 11- -,wg 1 14 V11' if 11.

MECHANICAL DRAWING Mechanical Drawing is a drawing made with the aid of drawing instruments. Such a drawing shows exactly how to construct or use any object machine, or building. Engine- ers, inventors, mechanics, draftsmen, industrial design- ers, and contractors all make use of mechanical drawing. No ship, airplane, engine, or any of the tools of industry could be made Without them. SECOND YEAR ALGEBRA t'What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for man than this of mathematics. -Benjamin Franklin Algebra is used in several things throughout life, such as surveying, designing, en- gineering, and chemistry. All algebraic equations used to have to be worked out by hand equation. The Bell Tele- phone Laboratories have dev- eloped a machine called the isograph to work out mechan- ically complex algebraic equa- tions Which took much soeci- alized personnel indefinite hours to do. nl .wx . Y r SENIOR OFFICERS Fellow Classmates: This is the final year of our twelve years of struggling to get a diplorna. We have finally made it! They say that all good things must come to an end and l think that the graduating class of 49 was the best. The first day of school wie selected our class colors which were blue and gold, our motto, Our past forever gone, our future still our own , and class flower, the yellow carna- tion and also elected class officers. Iohn Pattison was elected Vice-President, Ianet Soultz, Secretaryg Mildred Swafford, Treasurer and I, Hal Iohnson, Ir., the President. We were re- presented in the Student Council by Patty l-land, Bill lacks, Tom Brock and Rex Brown, We are very fortunate in having Miss Meredith as our class sponsor. As the president of the graduating class of l949, it was a pleasure to serve you. Sincerely, Hal lohnson, lr. Page Seventeen .1.

OF 1949 CLASS HISTORY The senior class of 1949 begins a new era in the school history of Mississinewa High School. As of August 1, 1948, students of Gas City High School and Ionesboro High School threw away all traditions and customs to be- gin anew so that future students of Mill Town- ship might have a better education. Since we are the first graduating class, our history dates back just one year. As seniors, we started the ball rolling the first day of school by electing our class of- ficers: Hal Iohnson, alias the runt, was elect- ed our president, lohn Pattison, vice-president, Ianet Soultz, secretaryg and Mildred Swafforcl, treasurer. The seniors were very active and well re- presented in all school activities such as: The varsity basketball team - All seniors. l-lard-working Student Manager - lack 'Cass McHenry. Active Yell Leaders-Ronald Ears Shep- pard, Gene Pinky Shrontz, Mark Bucket- pants Cates, Bob Hindu Henderson. Efficient Student Council-Patty Hand, Pre- sident, Bill lacks, Vice-President, Tom Brock, Rex Brown, Reporter. High School Band, Glee Club, Boys Chorus, Smoke Signal, F1-l.A., Hi-Y, Pep Club, Touch Football, Librarians, Baseball, Cross Country, Track, Intramural, Student Office Work and Senior productions for the year included a class play, lust Ducky , three one-act plays: production of the Pow-Wow, holding a mock election, and the Hallowe'en carnival. The treasury was built up through the sale of magazine subscriptions, radio sales, and other activities already mentioned. Other activities were sponsored by the class throughout the school year. Page Twenty-Six I NNUAL STAFF J A new year-a new school system-new school colors-new annual name and a new annual staff.

First there's john Maynard, they call ears, I wonder if he remembers all that he hears. Next comes Hughes, who's first name is Brad, As everyone knows he's a very quiet lad. There's Clayton Decker who used to have curls, And he was chased by crowds of girls. Now Bill Wimmer, we call him Willie, You asked? Because he's awful silly! Bob Sotherland he's on the beam, Go to the drugstore and he'l1 give you ice cream. Next comes Lowell Phillips, who's very gay, He comes to school every day. f?j june Nuss, she lives on a farm, Did you see the muscles in her arm? Katherine Hall, she takes Home EC. Eat her cakes and you'll be a wreck. john jackson who's hair is wavy, Left us at the half, to join the Navy. This one is jacks, his first name is Bill Each day full of laughs he does fill. There are a lot that already know Wayne White has the nick-name of Moe . 11 Beonwitz, his name is joe, This fellow, I think you all know. Peggy Griffin is awfully nice, Her smile can melt a cake of ice. janet Soultz has eyes that shine She's also a Senior of '49! jackie Simons was our Carnival Minnie, By the way, did you cast your penny? john Gonser who's kind of small I-Ie's always shoved around in the hall. Leon Ballinger when the school bells chime Always is late, he's never on time. Charles Linn, he's got clark hair, Is a fellow who always plays fair. His name's Richeson, better known as jake A good race driver at the 500 mile he would make. Page Twenty- Martin Lostutter and his senior cords, Attract more attention than any of the new Fords. jack Mcl-Ienry, he voted twice, If you need any help just ask his advice. When you see a bridge, think of McKee I-Ie'd rather climb an apple tree. Now a boy who's name is Tom Brock, His song's to hear, they all flock. You know his name it's Shrontz Pinky Eugene. Our little round yell leader you've all seen, Bill Miller, he's full of fun, If you want a joke he's the one. Now we all know jack Keller, Because he is a good feller. Bob Burchard Whose name I can't rhyme, l'll have to leave it and save some time. I-Iarold Rogers is a good kid, We know that he is by the things that he did. joanna Harrington, another hard name, With this one, l'll do just the same. Bob McClure when he takes to the floor, Makes the other team look very poor. Mark Cates with his short head of hair, Looks like he went to sleep in the barber's chair. Hal johnson, he's our Senior Class Pres. I-low tall is he? l'll give you one guess. Here's a girl named Smithson, her first name is Ruth - Ask her a question, she'll tell you the truth. Barbara Scott, quiet and still Lives down Znd street I-Iill. Rosetta Dawson, the villain's wife In the play, lived a short sweet life. Gretchen Hengstler, pretty and tall, She won't have trouble finding boyfriends at all. l-Iere's one whose name is Line, Her first name is Wilma, so that's just fine. Now then, there's Namona Shrout, One thing for sure, you'll never hear her shout. Eight Bob Strausbaugh, he's strong and tall, He carries the girls down the hall. Marian Manor, this pretty lass, Is just about the shortest in the senior class. Marilyn Wade, if you take a look-see, Is very cute, you can take it from me. john Pattison, surely can sing, If you want my choice, l'll take Bing, jackie, I think is a killer-diller, Maybe it's because her last name's Miller. Patty Hand is at the head of the class, I guess she is a very smart lass. Martha Reynolds looks at many others Guess it's cause she has so many brothers. Kennedy, her name is Maxine Rides a motorcycle instead of a limousine Barbara Couch likes to draw, In art class she calls Miss Yopst, Grandmawl Bob Henderson, he leads yells too, He yells them old, he yells them new. Iohn Durben, though not a dimwit, just now learned, there is a speed limit. Vic Huston has a horn up his nose, This plainly can be heard when his proboscis he blows. Slim jim McGinnis or should we say Ginny Doesn't spare the calories, just to get skinny. Ronnie Shepperd, they call him Shep, He's a yell leader with lots of pep. Now we come to Smith, who's first name is Pat, You never know, just where she's at. Do you all know Velma Fry? She's a girl who's kind of shy. Then Richard Gore, he's got dark hair, I wonder if he's got a brain to spare. jerry Oren is big and stout, But I doubt it he knows what it's all about. Now there's Gerald Duke David he doesn't meddle, What would he do if he had to peddle? Neil Wood is our next senior boy, To him life is one big joy. Page Twent Rex Brown, oh, can he run, When you're with hirn he's lots of fun. Her name is Scott, or shall we say Helen You'll never hear her doing much yellin', This is her name, Duckwall, Betty Lou, Everyone knows her, how about you? Now Delores McPherson, better known as Red, Want to know why? She's got red hair on her head. Now here's a girl who should never be bored, You know that her name is Mildred Swafford. Next is Virginia Bishop, or let's say Bish, She will always have a man on her leash. Bill O'Brien, Heavy , for short, The things he says will make you snort. Next a boy who's name is Rex Glass. He's another member of our Senior Class. jackie Lewark, is short and neat, She has dark hair, and little feet. Now take Fay Yoke You seldom see her drink a coke. A very small girl, Betty Lowe We wonder if she'll ever grow. Here's a girl they call Gopher But her birth certificate says Betty Hofer. Now everyone likes john Barker. Maybe it's because he's got a 51 Parker. joan Schmidt, who took the part of a maid, That black complexion we hope will fade. Now jeanette Oliver, in Bayles's den Takes watches, rings, and billfolds in. A very quiet lad, Herb Warren Has a motorcycle that is foreign. A very shy girl, Mary C, King You'll never hear her say a thing. Bill Harris whips the ball through the net, He makes more points than the other team can get. Pat Adams, a new member of our class, She joined us toward the last. Albert Miller is the last one, So now I see that I am done! By Albert Miller y-N.ne JU T DUCKY THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY ss-A What makes teen-age girls do the things they do? Betty Lou cmd Berna- dine were a couple of problems rolled into two. But, you know, girls will be girls! Papa Maxwell, is chosen head of the Citizens Committee, because his family is the finest and most up-standing family in the entire community. But Betty Lou and Bernadine decide to write a letter to the love-lorn column of their town newspaper. Of course, they have no problems, but they could pretend, couldn't they? The girls proceed to make-up a heart-sobbing letter and it is mailed to the editor of the love-lorn column, Vester Blayne. Rather than publish the letter, Miss Blayne makes a personal call. The girls decide to plead insanity for the cause, and when the citizen's committee arrive for an interview, they soon change their opinions about the Maxwell family. After Cl complete, free-for-all, with the trimmings, the truth is confessed by Betty Lou and Bernadine. Papa Maxwell is chosen again head of the citizen's committee, and all's well that ends well.

We worked like slaves at the ballgames selling candy, popcorn, and cokes. Our main source ol income came from the Iunior Class Play, 'iWe Shook The Family Tree . What do we do with this money? Spend it, naturally. It has been a custom that the Iunior Class treat the Senior Class by either a trip, prom, or reception, ot which the latter was chosen, due to financial conditions. Vice-President of the class is George Messersmithg Secretary, Ruth Purviance and Treasurer is Bud Wilson. We are proud of many of our out- standing students in their abilities and also of our Student Council representa- tives, Frieda Ballard, lane Harris, and Nondus Merrill. Our thanks goes to Miss Yopst, our calss sponsor, tor her help throughout the year. l remain your grateful servant of the class of '5O.

The class was constantly related to common experiences and to the social aspects of bi- ology, especially to important in- terpretive understandings as health, conservative, and recrea- tion. In short. this class is plann- ed to teach the kinds of biolog- ical science which every body needs to know. F RESHMAN ALGEBRA Mr. Wiley's Section X Algebra Class has industriously and we hope successfully searched for that mysterious and elusive QUANTITY X which the fathers also sought, delved into the mys- teries of square root and quad- ratics. and are beginning to Wonder what Geometry has in store. FRESHMAN ENGLISH English - This class hoped to enable students to express their ideas easily, naturally, correctly and effectively in play and at work: at home and at school. Mr. Collins is the teacher of this class.

This play is an adaptation of the book by the same name. The title part of l-lildegarde Dolson was taken by Iane Harris. l-lildegarde is a normal girl in a rather super sense of the word. When Hildegarde tires of being a wall flower things begin to happen, She tries to get attention by making a speech - and she does, but it's all the wrong kind. Her two brothers, Iimmy and Bob, only serve to plant the idea, that she simply must have a beau, more firmly in her mind and when Bob's girl friend ridicules her lack of a beau she is really determined to show them all. Between her secret admirer, her parents' love letters, fishing forms, beauty clay, the theft of a pair of long pants, a broken window, etc., she manages nicely to involve the whole town in her scramble for a prom date. And then she finally gets a date! lt's with a very, very NICE boy, but, he wears -- SHORT PANTS.

The Club has had several meetings. They have brought in several outside speakers, who talked on the different occupations of medicine, law, industry, finance. music and teaching. The boys went to a factory on a tour. One of the highlights of the c1ub's activities was the sponsoring of the first All-Couples dance, inviting all the county schools, and the Marion Hi-Y Club. Thirty-six couples attended to make this first social event of the school a great success. The Creed consists of four principles: clean sports, clean living. clean speech and clean scholarship. The Club has enjoyed a very successful opening year and the graduation members wish the new recruits success in continuing this organization.

I v l l Page Seve nfy-Two CROSS COU TRY Coach Joseph Russ Smalley's fine team of cross-country harriers, finished up their first sea- son of running by placing a very respectful seventh in the State meet, in a field of sixteen to highlight a season. Cross-country running is just what it says. The course varies in length. Some races are one mile, others are two. Colleges use five mile and ten mile courses. The courses are run on hilly ground, usually a golf course. The boy has to keep in shape, especially his legs. Scoring is different from most sports as the team with the least points wins. The points are taken as the boys place and added up to get the final score. Usually five boys constitute a team. Bill Harris, ace Indian runner, gained five firsts, two seconds, and a third in eight meets for sea- son total of 12 points. He came in seventh in the sectional meet, and twentieth in the state finals Mississinewa's opponents and the score of the meets were: Mississinewa Sept. 16 19 Fairmount 36 Sept. 28 31 Wabash 26 to end the season with 35 points. Joe W. McKeever, sophomore runner, gained four seconds, three thirds and a fifth. season points 22 with a total of 73. He placed fourteenth in sectional and thirty-seventh in state. Ernie Dalton, Junior harrier, placed in the up- per nine in the eight meets with 35 points and eighth in sectional and thirty-fourth in the state This gave him total points of 77. Rex Brown and Clayton Decker, senior harriers, rounded out the team. Brown has a season total of 45 points, a twenty-fifth in sectional and sixty- ninth in state for grand total of 143 points. Decker gained 68 points for season, 39th section- al. 85th in state, for grand total of 192 points. The second squad is composed of four sopho- mores, Norwin Decker, Jim Pattison, Jim Cox, and Phil Street. and one freshman. Ed Maine. Oct. 1 32 Ft.
