It was finally our turn to be called cocky seniors. 1 We well remember our first year of our high school days as 'LGreenies g but as the years went on we gained knowledge and soon were upperclassmen. For our final year we choose class oiiicers as follows: president, Pauline Nussbaumg vice president, Dick Coppessg secretary, Gladys Zurcherg treasurer, Vera Inniger. Our class sponsor is Mr. Myron Knauff. The many activities throughout the year included: concessions at home ball games, sale of T shirts, selling of Christmas cards, fall festival, radio raffle and many other things. These were all in preparation for our class trip, which we took in May, Our class is now proudly going forth, striving to live up to our class motto, 'KDo not say go but go thyself. fvx 'Www' BYRON LIECHTY Physical Ed. 1, Band 2, 3, Baseball 3, 4, Softball 2.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It being the custom for the junior class t0 prophesy what we believe the future holds for the graduating seniors, we have compiled this list of incidents which we think might appear about the seniors in the world's leading newspapers, the Who's Who books and the Encyclopedias for 1959, or be whispered across the back fence. We give them to you- Mexico City, July 9, 1959 A. D. Tragedy zo.5l success struck simultaneously at the bull Fighting arena today when Bertha Ray, champion bull fighter was injured after charging a giant Brahma in a last attempt to subdue the raving beast. Miss Ray was unarmed, except for a level head, and the bull seeing her charge level head-on, died from shock. Miss Ray stubbed her toe tripping over the fallen carcass. Bob Roth, here-to-fore an unsuccessful novelist fbecause he hasn't written anythingi fell down the back stairs of his two-story, two-roomed' man- sion crying, Darling, Darling. Embracing the evergreen tree and then seeing his mistake walked over to his cow and cried I have it. My first successful novel. It's about what every young man should know. I'll be as famous as Dale Carnegie. I'm going to call it How to Win Wait- resses and Influence Bartenders. Incidently Mr. Roth writes under the name Clementine Paddle- board. CARD OF THANKS The thanks and appreciation of all the towns- people of Monroe goes to Miss Christine Sprunger, who has succeeded in putting the little town of Monroe on the map. Miss Sprunger was chosen in Atlantic City as Miss Broadwalk of 1959. Thanks again, Christine. Dick, are you ever coming? Yes, dear. How many times must I tell you not to leave the keys in the Buick? Yes, dear. Will you ever learn to speak up? Yes, dear. I moved closer so I could get a better look at New York's most famous playboy and discovered him to be Dick Coppess. After a Htting back- ground as M. H. S.'s most pronounced girl chaser. Dick has finally been captured. Who is the lucky girl?-Why Gladys Zurcher!!! She is sitting down for a life of leisure-Dick and Buicks. OVERHEARD ON A STREET CORNER IN PARIS Have you seen IT? What? The three American girls in their new show. Who'? Waneta Neuenschwander, Grace Liechty and Jeanette Schwartz. No! Best thing since Mae West. Oo la la. Woo woo. Scandalous Im going again tomorrow night. These American girls have developed one of Thirteen the most eye-bulging shows Paris has ever seen. They are really skilled in handling their puppets. Radio reporter Walslice Windshield reports the greatest story of the century. A most phenomenal achievement, said Mr. Windshield. Inquiring further, I find that a new record of flagpole sitting has been established by the one and only Donna Lou Crist. Five years ago today, Miss Crist was strolling in Jackson Park, when suddenly, she saw a man. In her haste to catch him. she misjudged her speed and ended up on top of the Tribune Building where she has been ever since. sitting on the flagpole. Moral- Haste makes Waste -Also she is still an old maid. OVERHEARD ON A STREET CAR Say, have you seen the new picture the artist Miltcn Habegger has done? Yes, I think it's the most wonderful, extra- ordinary piece of work that has been displayed in years. So original. Rumor has it that he is to be recommended for the Pulitzer Prize. Isn't that marvelous? The name Milton Habegger seemed.to ring a familiar bell in my mind and I wondered if it could possibly be the same Milt I had known in schcol. I inquired of the two ladies. and sure enough. it was the same. Being interested, I asked whether it would be possible for me to see his great masterpiece. Oh, replied one of the ladies, just go to your nearest grocery store and stop at the canned vegetables' counter. He designs labels for spinach cans. Further inquiry into the subject of Mr. Habeg- ger and success proved that our friend, Pauline Nussbaum, is busy now as Mrs. Habegger raising a family of storks. We are sorry to say that since the All the Way Space Ship Company. has been on strike we have not been able to gather much information about Mary Alice Steury. but can only report that she is doing a thriving business with her hot-dog stand on the Moon. There is a rumor that she is plan- ning to marry a man from Mars. New York, New York, July 16. 1959 tFrom Prew D'earson's Gossip Columnl Word has been received from Hollywood that New Yorks Man about town, Byron Liechty, has chosen himself another bride. The lucky girl is Lona Grable. This is Byron's fifth marriage. W'hen questioned by reporters about the unsuc- cessfulness of his previous marriages Mr. Liechty stoutly declared that he loved marriages. The only trouble he said was that his wives didn't. After dining at the Waldorf. I discovered many aches and pains which I did not have when I ate other places. Investigating the cause I wandered back into the kitchen where Pierre De Bradforde, the world renown chef was at work. I gazed a moment at the character in the high white hat and then. it spoke, Pierre, better known as Pete informed me that for six years he had been working on a recipe botk to end all cooking worries. It is to be called. How to Win Friends and Get Rid of Unwanted Relativesf, Kenny Funk. who is in business for himself is following his life-long ambition . . . raising those beautiful potted geraniums, the small size for home use--that large beautiful type for business firms. Kenny's poor little. hard working wife is so alergic to-no not Kenny they have decided to rent their honeymoon cottage and sleep with those dear geraniums in the greenhouse. Fourteen EAVESDROPPING OVER THE BACK FENCE h 1.?1d you see that beautiful shiner Carl Bauman as. After hearing this, I decided it was time to see Carl Bauman and get the straight story. I did, and here is the story wordi for word. fExcept a few we can't print.i I was the best saleman in the company. I had been for the past five years. And then they fired me, just because of one itsy, bitsy, mistake. I'm so mad, I could eat fried chicken. Here's hcw it was. 'tYes, wasn't that terrible. I heard he got fired from the Fearless Vacuum Cleaner Company, too, and he said he was one of their best salesmen. . I was expanding my territory to the rural dis- trict. Why should a 'farmer's wife be without a Fearless Electric Vacuum? So, I walked up- to position, started talking. Madam, I am a representative of the Fearless Electric Vacuum Cleaner Company. I have here a display model of our new cleaner. Slipping further inside the door I continued: I shall demcnstrate it to you by first putting this pocketful of sawdust on your obviously new rug, then, scattering this bag of chicken feathers around on your furniture and then, this box of confettie on your curtains, furniture and floor. Now. I will show you how easily and quickly my product will clean. Will you show me the outlet? We clon't have electricity, the lady said.

Our first letter is from Amelia Miineybags who writes: 'Dear Mr. Lehman: My husband is a very rich man and buys me everything I want. Last week I wanted a little dog and he got me one. I loved the dog very dearly until he stopped eating his dog food. What should I do'? ' Dear Mrs. Moneybags: Try eating dog food and see how you like it, Podeenk. Arkansas. July 10, 1959. U.P.4 Olympic diving champion, and America's fore- most critic of acquatic sports made another spec- tacular dive today. Always looking for new pud- dles to conquer. or to make a big splash, Bob Beitler rode his sky hook to the tremendous height of 100 feet and dived into the three foot deep. Lake Wahoo. During his descent, he accomplished two somersaults, three spirals. one jack-knife, and got his pipe lit. This is indeed the most daring. record-breaking dive ever made in history. Funeral services will be tomr-rrow at 3-:io p, m.

QW' JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS HOWARD RICH. Vice President VIRGIL lVlOSER, Secretary DARLENE YODER, President GRACE FISHER, Treasurer On the first day of school in September, 1946, a very unsophisticated group of Freshmen stood and looked enviously at the upper classmen. In our sophomore year we progressed very rapidly. This year we elected the following as class officers: president, Darlene Yoclerg vice president, Howard Rich: secretary, Virgil Moserg treasurer, Grace Fisher. Mr. Herbert Arlington was our class sponsor. Some of our activities included, selling of magazines, a contest in which Bruce Hirschy was the winner. ln October with the seniors, we held a fall festival.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS PHYLLIS BAILEY, Secretary CHARLES HUFFMAN, Vice President EDITH STEURY, President MARE HABEGGER, Treasurer At last we have attained the honor of being called sophomores. We have passed the stage of greenies and are well on the way to the big event of graduation. At the beginning of the year we elected the follow- ing class officers: president, Edith Steuryg vice presi- dent, Romayne Litwillerg secretary, Phyllis Baileyg treasurer, Marie Habegger. Our class sponsor is Miss Schertz. We enjoyed two class parties during the Sophomore year and also some other class activities. During the year, we sold sweatshirts with the Monroe High School insignia on them and this gave the class treasury quite a lift. We have all enjoyed these first two years of high school and will long remember the good times we had together. We are eagerly looking forward to the next two years which, we're sure, will prove to be very interesting and exciting. Row 1: Phyllis Bailey, MHTY Baumgartner, Norma Brad- ford.

In 1947, he led a fine team on to a sectional vic- tory. He is considered one of the best coaches Monroe has ever had. We wish him a lot of luck in his fu- ture years at Monroe. OUR CHEER LEADERS FIRST TEAM SECOND TEAM V, jl ,X-, 7 1gf A? Bertha Ray, Vera Inniger Mary Lou Hannie, Elizabeth Johnston Twenty-six CLAREN LEHMAN Claren finished three years of varsity basketball which included many fine performances. His stellar work cn rebounds was his out- standing feats: although, he was capable of coming up, with several points occasionally. He usually played a fine defensive game, es- pecially his senior year. His per- formance against Portland's Brews- ter in the 1947 regional was one of the best games of his career. Clezz always lined up at forward and he was one of our pivot men. M. C :Q MILTON HABEGGER Milt was the leading scorer on the team the past two years. He played center and was always used on thx: pivot. He was depended upon great- ly for defensive rebounds because of his height and ability to grab that ball. Milt was selected on the all- sectional team his sophomore, jun- ior, and senior years and' was awarded a spot on the all-regional second team his sophomore year. He is a senior and a four-year man. M. C. K. ROBERT EHRSAM Robert fbetter known as Jimi was a junior and has played two years on the varsity. He is an er:- cellent defensive man and was us- ually counted upon to guard thc leading scorer of the opposing team. Jim was a consistent free throw shooter, hitting over 62 per cent for the season. He always did his share of scoring, and ali' ng with Rowdon was one of our dependable guards. -M. C. K. GLENN ROWDON Glenn was the smallest player on our team. His keen alertness in de- tecting the weaknesses of the op- position helped to win several ball games. He could usually be count- ed upon to successfully stop the fastest man on the opposing team. He is a junior and this was his second year on the varsity. M. C. K. VIRGIL GERBER Virgil was a junior who had a lot of determination. He has shown much improvement throughout the year. He usually played a guard position and has spent one year as a varsity reserve.-M. C. K. KENNETH FUNK Kenny played in a reserve role behind our big boys. His chances of playing were limited but he came through frequently when ,he was needed. He either played cen- ter or forwardt He played on the varsity one year and is a senior. M. C. K. DOYLE LEHMAN Doyle has been used in a reserve capacity for the past two years. al- though, he has seen much actio-1. He has shown a lot of determina- tion and ability to think properly in the crucial moments. He is es- pecially good at rebounding and cftentimes iips in a basket. He plavs forward. and is a junior. M. C. K. PAUL BRADFORD Paul was ineligible for one year because of IHSAA technicalities. Therefore, since he is a senior. his playing was quite limited. He im- proved rapidly and gave us some excellent assistance in a reserve ca- pacity during the sectional tourney. He was a very aggressive player and a good, Ufeeder? M. C. K. RICHARD COPPESS Dick was a senior and a very capable Student Manager for all four of his High School years. There was always something to be done and Dick always was there with a helping hand. He also was a great morale builder and was well liked by everyone. Dick will be hard to replace in future years.kM. C. K. CHARLES HOFFMAN Charles was the only sophomore on our varsity. He played some very good games and was an ex- ceptionally good feeder. He showed signs of inexperience occasionally, but his playing was above average for only a sophomore. Charles was a good one handed shot and he should develop into an excellent player in his next two seasons. He usually played. forward, but fre- quently was used as a guard. M. C. K.

H CD 5 BASKETBALL 1948-49 The Bearkatz almost put another tournament trophy on the shelf this year. In the first two games of the Sectional against Monmouth and Berne, the team really showed their true blue and white colors. But they just weren't playing their best ball against Decatur in which they lost. They had a very good season too. The boys won thirteen games and lost only seven. Their record this year really proved they are a clean, hard working, and co-operative team. Of course, most of their fine tactics can be attributed to the excellent coaching of Myron C. Knauff. The scores were as follows: MONROE. . . ... .. .,......... .

X7IRGIL GERBER-He plays to win. Does his part, but scarcely lets anyone know about it. IQENNETH FUNK-All American substitute. Plays so many positions, he can scarcely keep up with anyone of them. PAUL BRADFORD-WOl'kS hard on the team. But, he still Hnds time to keep the teachers fat and sassy. JIM EHRSAM-On the team he's a regular old t'smoothy, but when it comes to gals, all he needs is a whistle. DOYLE LEHMAN-Like his brother, he's an all t'round athlete. Hard on opposing teams and too easy on the girls. DoN RUPERT-When playing basketball, the opposing team find him a hard man to beat. But when it comes to girls, its quite easy, isn't it Beverly? CHARLIE HOFFMAN-TDS only Sophomore on the team, and sure lets everyone knows it. :E: :iz :Za :iz Mr. Knauff: How many sexes are there? Lester Schindler: Three. Mr. Knauff: What are they?

There sat Mr. Walker, the father of three daughters, reading the evening paper. Squirming restlessly on the sofa was Johnny Burns, waiting for Pat, as usual. Mrs. Walker entered. placing a piece of paper under Johnny's feet. Such was the dramatic opening of Date Bait. On through the play . . . there was fifteen-year-old Emily, braces on her teeth, and wearing dark rimmed glasses. who stayed at home and sighed with envy at the glorious times her sisters, Pat and Mary, had dating Dave Wilson, Johnny Burns, and Harold Smith. Also there was Jim Allen, a next door neighbor, always attempting to restore good politics to town by exposing Assemblyman Gray and his machine, Every time Mr. Allen would call on Mr. Walker to work on a speech, Harley, his son. always tagged along. Emily, worrying about her future in a spinsters' home. proposed to Harley. Harley. pleased to think of a girl liking him, accepted. But then when Lester Gray comes along and asks Emily for a date. Harley is completely forgotten. When Mr. Walker finds out that Lester is Assemblyman Grays son, all the fun lets loose. Lester had just completed a new car, all except for a license plate. In order to make Emily happy. Harley borrows the license plate off of his father's car. Everything went along alright until the motor in Lester's car wouldn't behave right, and they were caught by Officer Benson. When Emily was caught with Assemblyman Gray's son in a car bearing Mr. Allen's license plate, this didn't look too well, but everything was straightened out at the end of the play, and kept the audience in good spirits, Thirty-six IUNIOR CLASS PLAY E Miss Chandler Mr. Pettit - Gabby Gallagher - Gloria Price - - Speed Miller - Paul Chapman Bernice Johnson Ron Da ton y - Jean FOX - - - Shirley Walker Mr. Birch - YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE Darlene Yoder Virgil Gerber Glenn Rowdon Jane Baltzell Don Rupert - - Curtis Nussbaum Betty McKean Jim Ehrsain LuElla Jones Neva Mallonee Doyle Lehman Mrs. Burton Lee - Harvey Jones Peggy Johnson Mona Fisher Miss Ross - Cluck Biggs - Pop Wilson - Miss Spencer Mr. Bell - Mrs. Chapman Director - 1' llgix a Sis if - Rosalyn Wagner - Howard Rich Coretta Chamness - Grace Fisher Kathryn Soldner Bruce Schnepp - Bruce Hirschy Audrey Burkhead - Virgil Moser - Bonnie Huser - Mr. Herbert Arlington -5' t f + 4 X t N 3 sis W i 2 was my in f X t.

ESE Pr? 3 8, NK, To a man who deserves a lot of credit for his success in his three years as coach at Monroe High School, we dedicate this annual. He has proved to be a very efficient coach by the fine showing his teams have made in his short time at Monroe. Although there were times when we were on the short end of the score, he always had a word of help on how to win the next game fair and square. In addition to his duties as teacher and coach, he has been our very capable class sponsor, through our sophomore, junior, and senior years. It gives us great pleasure to dedicate this annual to a most deserving person, Mr. Myron C. Knauff. rf--- 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 1.
