EDITORS BUSINESS MANAGERS ADVISER Dorothy Hostetler Janet DeBaets Wilhelmina Troeger Sherry Harley Rita Kulwicki ADMINISTRATION © @ @ @ Mr. Webster R. Carr, in his eleventh year as princi- pal, efficiently performed the duties of the responsible of- fice which he holds. The smooth order in which our school operates maybe pro- perly attributed to the plan- ning of this executive. When we, as students, have sought his counsel in solving our problems, we have found in Mr. Carr a good friend, al- ways ready to advise and guide us. Mr. O. A. Shaw has been assistant principal for the last four years. His many duties--printing the daily bulletin, arranging buses for trips, managing the book store, and teaching com- merce--keep him employed many extra hours. A friendly greeting characterizes Mr. LeRoy McAllister, our trustee. For the past thirty-one years he has beenan employee of Olive Township, as Post- master, teacher,and trustee. His keen Webster R, Carr Orrin A, Shaw interest inschool activities and projects has won for him the high esteem of the f students and faculty. Keeper of the records and comp- troller, Mrs. Dorothy Masonrecords grades, makes transcripts, attendance, and answers the telephone. Everybody confides in this loyal, ef- ficient person.

S. began way back in the first grade; for others it began back in 1950, and for a few, last year. Whenever it began though, makes no difference. We enjoyed watching the baseball and basketball games, seeing the class plays, reading the Tattler; and finally we took part in all school activities. At the beginning of this school year, many ofus were sad for we real- ized that this was the last--the last baseball game, the last Christmas program, the last tournament, and the last prom.--We began making plans. First, we had our class meeting for election of officers.--We made ap- pointments for senior pictures, planned the Olive Branch; gave the play, The Campbells are Coming, and took our lessons seriously,for some of us excelled in scholarship. As seniors, we thought we knewitall. We had not only earned 32 cred- its, getting much of our knowledge from books, but we had also learned a lot outside of books, too. As we marched down the aisle at graduation to the tune of ''Pomp and Circumstance,!'! we realized that our wonderful four years of high school had come to a close.

Some of these stu- dents will be the best singers in the HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR in a few years and have gained experience al- ready by singing at assembly programs and concerts. The girls’ OCTETTE sang their way through the second year by performing any- thing from hillbilly songs at the donkey bas- ketball game to very sacred songs at church. Under the leadership of Miss Jo Hill, the girls, shown polishing a number for the con- test, are R. Cooreman, D. McPherson, D. Zdankus, D. Hostetler, J. DeBaets, W. Bisel, C, Fetterer, and C. Field. A new addition to the vocal music de- partment this year was the boys' BARBER- SHOP QUARTET. These four boys, R. Ger- ecke, D. Tolmen, G. Letherman, and J. Newland, under the direction of Miss Jo Hill, also presented several musical num- bers during the year. The ever-increasing HIGHSCHOOL CHOIR direct- ed by Miss Jo Hill again found it necessary to raise funds to buy more choir robes. To do this, they pre- sented ''The Christmas Crib'' in December andan op- eretta and concert during the second semester. They also sang Christmas Carols at the Haven Hubbard Home and competed at the district contest in Walkerton. Sponsored by Lon Moore, Realtor, Meu Cartisle 36 VOCAL MUSIC im?

Sponoored by The First National Cauk of Yew Carlisle 41 The Future Nurses Club was or- FUTURE NURSES CLUB ganized recently at our school. In addition to the regular weekly meetings, the members met month- ly with the other Future Nurses Clubs in St. Joseph County to learn more effectively the problems of nursing and of nurses in general. One of the ways the members gave service to the school was by taking care of the sick-room. Tomake money to carry on their projects, the members and their sponsor, Miss Ruth Yeager, made popcorn balls and sold them at the Halloween Festival. At Christmas time each member made an apron which was distributed to the women at the St. Joseph County Home. One of the highlights of the year was the visit to the Feeble- Minded Institute in Fort Wayne. The officers were Marcella Gadacz, president; Marilyn Mathis, vice-president; Clara Smith, sec- retary -treasurer; and Rita Kulwicki, reporter. PROJECTORS CLUB Our Library Club is organized differently from any other club in school. The member eligibility is on a service basis. Each person in the club worked in the library. Al- though it is one of the smallest clubs in school, its members do a great deal of work. Under the guidance of Mrs, Wil- helmina Troeger, the members‘ duties are to check in magazines and books, keep the cards of the day's circulation, keep the shelves in order, and other necessary duties. The members are interested in the duties of a librarian as some of them may become future librarians. The officers were Dorothy Hostetler, president; Marilyn Mars, vice-president; and Arlene Martin, secretary -treasurer. LIBRARY CLUB Due to the fact that our visual aid projectors do not run them- selves, it has always been a good school policy to maintain an opera- tors club. Through the personal guidance of their sponsor, Mr. Le- Roy Stutsman, the operators have expanded their knowledge of the mechanics of motion pictures. They also operate the record player, silent projector, slide projector, and wire recorder. Officers were Leland Holston, president; Leon Adnson, vice-president; and Charles Gre- gory, secretary -treasurer. STUDENT COUNCIL To the Council meetings, sponsor room representatives brought the suggestions and wishes of their classmates. There, they voiced their opinions on varied subjects, per- taining to the welfare and betterment of the students. Under the direction of Mr. Harry Stoneburner, the club sponsored the pep meetings, the assembly programs, and the awards at the end of school. The Council does much of its work behind the scenes. Council members were in- strumental in obtaining raincoats for the Patrol Boys. The officers were Don Tolmen, president; Connie Lindsey, vice-president; and Wanda Bisel, secretary-treasurer. HI-Y The outstanding purposes of the Hi-Y are to create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Social activities are always included in their annual programs. Examples were the after-game dances, the annual Hi-Y conferences, and the annual St. Joseph County Hi-Y Dance. The sponsor was Mr. Wallace Sacks. The officers were Don Coddens, president; Harvey Gordon, vice-president; Charles Ogden, secretary; Carl Lauer, treasurer; Wally Schimmel, chaplain; and Norman Thomp- son, sergeant of arms.

Sponsored by Holston and Holston Contractors, Lydich FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Among the most energetic clubs is the F.F.A. The members try to carry out their motto of learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and living to serve by having a variety of home projects, Some of these are corn, wheat, soybeans, gardening, beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, and ducks. These projects will help the boys to become farmers of the future. Another project carried on each fall in October is the Community Fair. This year many other clubsex- hibited to make a most interesting and worthwhile fair. Much of the credit for the success of the fair and the club in general go to the sponsor, Mr. Jack Calhoun, and the officers, Richard Horvath, president; Bardley Bate, vice-president; Willard Osborn, secretary; Duane Robinson, treasurer; Joe Wilson, reporter; and Jim Rodgers, sentinel.
