Pagefourteen THE INDIANIAN PRUPHEEY A FUHWAHD GLANCE After a long, dismal day Janice Crider had just put the twins and Junior to hed and was settling down to read a thrilling love story, when she was interrupted by the ringing of the door bell. To her surprise it was Fred McDirmit and his wife, the former Shirley Simmons, dropping in for a chat. Fred is now taking the place of Humphrey Bogart. and Shirley is taking the place of Lauren Bacall. Fred said that he had heard that Bill Huffman was in Scotland, happily married to an old pen pal, and that Donald 1Bugeyei Gum now owns the largest bubble Gum factory in the world. Shirley said she saw in the paper that Elizabeth Fensel was married to a boy from Muncie and that they were going to tour the world on their honeymoon. They were interrupted by the door bell ringing again and there stood Virginia lBakerJ Dawson with her little tots. She is trying to beat the Dawson trait of having boys. She said that Carol Morgan, now an old maid, had just had an offer to he secretary to Jim Smith, the new governor of Indiana. Janice suggested that they turn on the radio, for it was time for the great news com- mentator, Harry Beeks. He brought a special news flash which said that Jack Smith and Charles Petbtel had just struck diamonds in Alaska. Melvin Risinger, St.. John's delivery boy, arrived with the groceries and said that Herbert Gray and his wife, the former Ellahellc Cale, are living on a little farm near Loose Caboose Junction and that Mrs. Patty KReasoneri Bell lives above St. .lohn's grocery and buys all her groceries there. He said that Jack Pugh had been in and told him that he and Elonda Rinker were engaged again fl guess Jack finally convinced her he was the onei. They are going to live in Albion and raise chickens. Oh, yes, he had also heard that Jeanne Burson was work- ing her way through college selling pop corn. Melvin had to leave and almost knocked over Mrs. Junior Rogers fthe former Martelle Helml rushing up the walk. She said that she had just heard so much gossip about the Class of '48 that she had to tell someone. She had heard that Mrs. Betty iJonesJ Thompson had just completed her third performance of Carmen at New York and that Dessel Beavans had finally settled down on a little farm and was now raising lambs. She also noticed a new sign in front of Coalieis Pool room. which said that Jake Hawk, Tom Berry, Junior Evilsizer, and Joe Garrison had taken over. Martelle said that Mr. Morgan told her that Neil Towns and Keith DeBatty are still patiently waiting for their true loves to graduate. He also informed us that Charles Garrett is keeping company with a gal at Chester and Wesley Fulton is still going to Hartford. I guess Donald Goodspeed is the official janitor in the New York Art Gallery. Mrs. Ruth tMerchanti Ford and husband are setting up housekeeping in the thriving city of Keystone. Irene Fear is head waitress and chorus girl at Junior Needler's famous Stork Club. Ruth Ann Norton has a striving business in giving hints to the love-lorn. ' Virginia picked up the Montpelier Headache and read aloud that Dick Pence and Dick Love are having a double wedding in June. Another news item of interest was that Donnie White, formerly with the Zollncr Pistons, is now playing on the All Star Millgrove Mud Hens and that Professor Lovelee' Rinard is head of a famous white rat institution. The Headache also states that Jack Stone has just taken off in his helicopter to Hawaii with Miss Albertson as a passenger. THE INDIANIAN Pagejifteen HISTURY MAYBE WE'HE LUCKY The Class of '48 has been lucky because all of us have had an opportunity to go to school as long as we liked, while in some countries students may go to school only until they are a certain age, often only fourteen. Our boys have been lucky because they weren't drafted for war before they could graduate. The girls have been lucky, too, because they could plan their marriages and homes without the fear that their loved ones would be called to war and taken far away from them and their families. It seems that we have been lucky throughout our four years in high school. In our Freshman year we enrolled with fifty-four students, most of whom have remained with us through these four years. We chose as our ofiicers Donald White, president, Dick Pence, vice-president, Virginia Baker, secretary-treas- urerg and Betty Jones and Neil Towns, advisers. During the year Thelma Betz and Dorwin Oswalt entered as new students, and Dwight Rogers withdrew. Our class party and a convocation were the highlights of the year. Mr. Craig and Miss Johnson were our sponsors. Just before the beginning of our Sophomore year, it seemed as if had luck had come to us in the loss of our principal, Mr. Wilson, to the U. S. 0. However, we were fortunate in having a very capable substitute, Miss Nelson. Also, we were lucky to obtain Mr. Dick as a teacher. We chose as our leaders for the year: Jeanne Burson, presidentg Betty Jones, vice-president, Keith DeBatty, secretary-treasurer, and Garnet Nuckols and Charles Pethtel, advisers. Our sponsors were Miss Morton and Mr. Brinkerhoff. Our first party was a Halloween backward party, held at the High School Building on October 15. We won tl1e War Bond Drive with the help of Neil Towns and his thousand-dollar bond. Our class convocation was given on April 26. Our biggest and best year yet was in '47. Mr. Wilson came back, and he and Miss Nelson helped us in every- thing we attempted. Under their direction and that of the class officers, we had a magazine subscription drive, ordered our class rings, held a class party, gave a convocation, and presented our class play, 'LDate Bait. Our class officers were: Janice Ford, presidentg Richard Love, vice-presidentg Elonda Rinker, secretary-treasurer, and Patty Reasoner and Dick Pence, advisers. During tl1e year Dessel Beavans and Gene Dawson entered as new students. We worked very hard on the Junior-Senior banquet. The Ball State orchestra played for the dance, held after a wonderful banquet. In our senior year we were lucky to have an opportunity to publish the Hlndianiani' because of the lateness of the '47 Annual. However, early in the year we sponsored the Spar Brothers Circus to raise money for the publication of our Annual. Early in the year we organized the Annual Staff and began work on our yearbook. On January 28 we pre- sented a skit introducing the Annual subscription drive. This was presented as a radio broadcast. It included a parody of My Merry Oldsmobile by the Shy Songbirdsg the Too Fat Polkan by the Trembling Troubadours and Little Fredrikag a skit, Don't Be Too Late , and a speech given by our class president. Our aim was to reach 350 subscriptions in two weeks. We had elected as class officers Jeanne Burson, presidentg Dick Pence, vice-presidentg Virginia Baker, secretary- treasurerg and Janice Crider and Dessel Beavans, advisers. Our sponsors were Mr. Morgan and Miss Albertson. Our convocation was presented on March 24. The Senior Class play, g'Coing Places, was very successful. We enjoyed very much the Junior-Senior banquet held on May 14. Baccalaureate was held on May 16 and Commencement on May 19. The speaker for baccalaureate was the Reverend V. O. Vernon.

When her pal, Anna Gibson tBetty Jonesl, parades one letter man's sweater after another before her envious eyes. Emily decides that her own fate is to spend her life in a home for spinsters. Mrs. Walker tjeanne Bursonl tries to keep the household running smoothly. Dad Walker and ,lim Allen 4Bill Huffmani, a next door neighbor, are attempting to restore good politics in the town by exposing Assemblyman Cray and his machine. Mr. Allen calls to work with Mr. Walker on a speech and brings son Harley lFred McDirmitl to practice on his clarinet. Emily thinks Harley an uninteresting specimen of modern youth, but being worried about that future in a spinsters' home, she proposes to him. Harley is so flattered to think any girl would like him that he accepts. When Harold Smith 4Wesley Fulton! arrives to date Pat, Emily tries to date himg but Harley lets it out that l and Emily are engaged. me As an engagement proves loo confining at fifteen, Emily plans a date with Lester Cray lJim Smithl. When Lester arrives in his new, homemade car without license plates, Harley lemls him the plates off his father's car. Off they go but when the motor doesn't work and they run into trouble with the law. Ofhcer Benson 1Bill Hawk? takes them ni the Walker home and learns the truth of the whole matter. It doesn,t make a very pretty picture, politically speaking when Benson has to take Lester to headquarters. After Harley kisses Emily goodnight. she calls Anna to tell her about the wonderful evening she has had.

Let's everyone back Nancy Oswalt, Harriet Reasonir, Marilyn Hoover, and the team. Better luck next time to their opponents. UGTUBEH For our first Chapel service, Rev. Vernon was the speaker.

Great day for seniors-the annual staff was announced today. This will be the best annual yet, at least we think so. Everyone should get intelligent-this is National Education Week. 's's'M' Parents were invited to visit school and give suggestions for improvcments in studying or in the curriculum. Rev. Stapp was the speaker for Chapel services. The Freshman Convocation, pertaining to Thanksgiving, was divided into two parts. The first part was sacred and the last, a festive play, Father Talks Turkey. A tea was given by the Seventh Grade girls to all mothers, high school faculty, janitors, trustee, and cooks. Eighth Grade had a class party. The ones that did the most work were the clean-up committee. The Sophomore Class and the Seventh Grade also had parties. Must be the month for parties. The Commercial Club visited the Fort Wayne Corrugated Paper Mill at Hartford City. They were shown the differ- ent office equipment and how to use it. Teams were chosen for the pest contest in the F.F.A. Club. I know quite a few pests. How about you?? The Dramatic Club attended the play, The Apple of His Eye, put on by the Spotlight Club at Ball State Teachers College. Senior and underclass pictures arrived, and the group pictures were taken. New activities are starting! The cafeteria and noon league have begun. Our ball team isn't on the ball so it seems. They were defeated by Upland. Roll, Dunkirk, Chester, Warren, and Geneva. Thanksgiving vacation was very welcome, as it always is! I guess it does the teachers good to get away from the kids for awhile. Last year's Annuals finally arrived in time to give us something else to be thankful for. DECEMBER Rev. White of the Nazarene Church gave the address for Chapel. The Girls Clee Club sang a special number. Another Jive session was held in the gym. Former graduates could be invited. The Pacers won their first game of the season in the Four-Team Tourney by defeating the Pennville Bulldogs. May- be our luck has changed. A very interesting Christmas program was presented under the direc- wy tion of Mrs. Doyle. The part that was the best was when it ended, so that we could begin our vacation. Christmas season must lee too dull around 'Pelier for most of the T' faculty members., for most of them spent their vacations out of town. E x X Dtcember- :.s..w., THE INDIANIAN Pagcfortyfone .

It tells who's news and whyf' An all school convocation uncovered hidden talent. There were vocals, twirling, and various musical numbers. Oh! Sorrowful day . . . Aren't we lucky that exams come only twice a year. A balcong gieeting was held to promote the March of Dimes. Did everyone give what he could?? Let's hope so, since it's nee e so badly. The Annual Drive has begun, and we hope that everybody subscribes for it will be one of the best annuals yet. The Senior Class has divided into two sections for the drive. The 'iBlue team with Jeanne Burson as leader, and the Coll team with Dick Pence as leader. Skits to promote the drive were given in the form of a radio program featur- ing the Trembling Trouhadours and Little Fredrika singing Too Fat Polka.

Mrs. Elizabeth Carr from Indiani Gfneral Service at Hartford City explained the picture to the classes. Dr. George Davis of Purdue University gave a lecture on the life and writings of James Whitcomb Riley. He was very amusing and entertaining. The High School Choir gave a Sunday evening concert at the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Hartford City. 1Cuess they can't sing well enough in Hartford.l The local basketball team went to Fort Wayne to see the Zollner Pistons play the Anderson Packers. They gave the Pistons some advice, no doubt. Evrryone enjoys club day. Anything to get out of school, I guess. The Faculty of the local schools, the trustee, the school board members, and the custodians had a party. Do you suppose they played post office? What about it, Lillie? Does everyone appreciate our school and town?? Well if you want to know those who do and why they do, read the e'i1orials written by pupils and published in the Crier section of the Montpelier Herald. If you saw a rablrit running around school, it belonged to Mr. Campbell, n magician who prescnfed a program of humor, tricks, and magic. His wife ff ff ' Save a ventriloquist act.

Well, whether we win or lose, we'll know that it was a good, clean game, and know that the Pacers did their best. Lots of luck. We'll enjoy the holiday even if we do lose. X Q7 ff 1 0 ff!!

X ssnmt Two one-act plays, HNora Gets Engaged' and Miggles,', were presented by the Ra Von Dramatic Club members to the students and the public. Now is the- time when we see which class has the best ball players. The lnterclass Tourney is always lots of fun, and let's say that all the teams are pretty good. Of course, Ithink the seniors have it in the bagf, Speaking of tourneys, there is also the Noon League Toaxn y, which ends the season for basketball. The Sophomore Convocation consisted of three skits and two instrumental and vocal numbers by Elizabeth Howard. The drive for Annual subscriptions closed with the Golds winning. Wesley Fulton, with fifty-six, had the most subscriptions for the Gold teamg and Harry Beeks, with f1f.een, the most for the Blue team. Each boy received a free Annual for having sold the most for his team. The Home Ec. girls are luckyg remember, 'The way to a manis heart is through his stomach. The Future Farmers of America are having a Speech and Essay contest, in which the winners are to go to Purdue. The boys from Montpelier in this contest are Harry Beeks and Jesse Rogers.
