POINTS SCHOOL IN 1947. SO, WITH WORDS AND PICTURES . . . fVv. THIS IS OUR STORY THE BEHIND THE SCENES STORY, IF YOU PLEASE, OF OUR EDUCATIONAL ADVENTURING IN FORTY-SEVEN WITHOUT THRILLS AND FRIENDS, THAT MADE OUR YEAR SO WORTH RECORDING FORGETTING THE BIG MOMENTS, AND LITTLE MOMENTS, IN THE 1947 ROSENNIAL • • 208SG43 For 1947 was our big year, Mr. Haydn, a big year for every person connected with New Castle High School. For the wonderful people who helped to make it so, the FACULTY, see PAGE 8. Then the SENIORS, on PAGE 26, were a swell group of kids anyone will agree. This was a year they will long remember and cherish in their scrapbooks. The UNDERCLASSMEN, the majority of the student body, make a fine showing on PAGE 42. From junior to freshman each will tell you it ' s been a record year for all their events, including the delightful prom. ACTIVITIES around this old school were really buzz- ing this year as you can see from the pictures on PAGE 52. There were the dances, convocations, junior Rotarians, Altrusa girls, the all-important yearbook, and last but not least the school paper. As you know, Mr. Haydn, all schools have their clubs and social gatherings; and New Castle High School is cer- tainly not an exception. From clubs ranked nationally to those started here they all play an important part in our school life with their various plans and functions. For pictures of these CLUBS and their activities, please notice PAGE 66. Oh, yes. Mr. Haydn, if you think that ATHLETICS don ' t play a large part in any Indiana high school, you just don ' t know Indiana. We have a well-rounded sports program including that ever-popular basketball, football, golf, and oh, we could go on forever; but for some swell action shots SEE PAGE 78. Now just sit back and relax for you are about to get an all-round view of New Castle High School by simply turning the page and CLASSES AND FACULTY You mentioned how nice the feachers were and you are correct. Of course, there are TIMES v hen we students doubt that statement but then Our school curriculum has grown somewhat during the past three or four years — yes, even this year. With our eleven departments and with each department thinking up some new course, we soon won ' t be able to choose which courses we want most. For instance, wg have industrial arts, home economics, and commercial arts for those interested in vocational training. For the basics we have English, social studies, and mathematics. Then for those interested in other languages we have French, Latin, and Spanish. For those interested in becoming chemists, physicists, and biologists we have the sciences. Then there are music, art, and physical education which should never be omitted from any well-balanced curriculum. Some of the newer classes are Electronics 41, a boys ' cooking class, and a driving instruction class. In our driving instruction course we have a car in which the students can get practical experience as well as instruction. So you see, Mr. Haydn, we have plenty going on to keep us busy during school. Page Nine . ' • •■ ,! MR. E. S. CASTOR, Principal A.B., M.A. Ball State MR. JOE R. CRAW, Superintendent A.B., M.A. Butler University Graduates of this year are faced with many problems and many opportunities. Solving these problems and meeting these opportunities will con- stitute a life ' s work. A citizen ' s life can be a brilliant success or a miserable failure. The choice is within the grasp of each graduate of 1947. Armed with the deter- mination to share in the responsibility of making this a better world and secure in the belief that a high standard of character, tolerance, and sym- pathy for others are necessary for each Individual, each of this year ' s graduates cannot fail to achieve the goal of successful citizenship. Education is but one of a series of learning ex- periences which comes to an individual. Others will be even more challenging. All these experi- ences can contribute much to every individual if faced with courage, faith, and enthusiasm. To each member of the 1947 graduating class, I wish the finest that life has to offer. E. S. CASTOR Pri ncipal Congratulations to you of the graduating class of 1947. Many of you have found a challenge for additional preparation. Others of you have had sufficient social and work experience contacts which you feel qualify you to cease your school sojourn. All of you have surely found and solved, some of you have also found and left unsolved, problems of major Importance In social, physical, mental, and moral relationship. Our biggest task is to be genu- ine, ever-understanding of human weaknesses and strengths. The great single need for mankind is service. Let us perpetually work together in the realms of better citizenship so that we can continue to see the realities of our Democracy and reach goals to which our own manhood and womanhood aspire.

Cadet teachers have assisted teachers in both grade schools and junior high school. They take charge of reading, spelling, and numerous other classes while the teacher gives nnore time to students who need special attention. These cadet teachers have also learned while teaching. Among other things, they have learned the art of patience. Many of them will go to college and become teachers, but those who do not will have gained an experience that they shall never forget.

Well, we would like to tell you about a few things you failed to mention in your article. First of all we want you to meet our senior class. This is the class that sponsors and publishes the yearbook. The Rosennial. Also we, like senior classes of other high schools, produce a class play. We are usually busy doing something — either exchanging class name cards or small billfold size pictures, exchanging comments on what we ' ll wear to senior vespers, making plans for Class Day, Honor Day, and Commence- ment — all these things concern the big senior. Being a senior affects each one of us differently. To those who will be going to college it is the last chance to get the fundamentals well in mind on which they will base their college education. To those who don ' t plan to attend college it is the last year of formal education. Some leave with a smile, some with a tear. With a spirit like ours and a motto like The elevator to success is not running — take the stairs, how can we go wrong? Page Tzvcnty-scvcii SENIOR CLASS HISTORY But Mr. Haydn— You forgot us seniors! Here ' s what you forgot to mention in your story. We first began to realize that we were becoming important when we entertained the seniors at the 1946 Junior Prom — The Mardi Gras. The Senior Vespers was the first big event of our final year in N. H. S. Another senior class event was the honoring of us seniors at the 1947 Junior Prom. Other main events were Class Day when our innermost secrets were revealed, and Baccalaureate — our most religious service. Finally the day arrived when we received diplomas signifying the end of twelve years of school life. And Mr. Haydn — You forgot our class colors which are teal blue and silver. Other things you missed were our motto: The elevator to success is not running — take the stairs ; and our class flower, the American Beauty rose. Back In ' 43 when we were mere freshmen, we didn ' t realize that our last year would be highlighted by the fact that our high school was rated as the model school in the United States.

We have already introduced the seniors; now we want you to meet the underclassmen — juniors, sophomores, and freshmen — who are the whole reason for our school. They are the reason that we need well-paid teachers, well-balanced curriculum, a good variety of convocations, all lines of sports, and well-rounded school activities. Every school day with its particular problems and fun is planned with these students in mind. These are the kids who keep things moving at the building on Walnut Street. They are the ones who organize the clubs and attend the meetings, study hard to get a good education, cheer the teams on when going gets rough, and gripe about the little things. These are the underclassmen of New Castle Senior High, the people for whom the administration has been working out a more adequate school system. Follow us through the next few pages so we can introduce them to you. Look them over and you will understand why we are proud of our underclassmen. Payic Fnrlv-thn JUNIOR HISTORY Here are +he juniors of New Cas+le Senior High School. What do +hey do? Well, they have two of the four yell leaders, and they are represented in every field of sports. Others enter speech contests, and essay contests, and the senator to the Fourth Annual Student Congress at Purdue was a nnember of the junior class. This is the only group of underclassnnen that is organized. During the second semester they meet and elect class officers. This year ' s officers are Bill Thompson, president; Bob Breckenrldge, vice-president; Marilyn Payne, secretary; and Gene Hast- ings, treasurer. Once the election is over things start rolling. They pick out the class jewelry and everybody orders theirs before school closes In June. By September of the next school year, when these kids are ex-juntors, they have their jewelry to wear during their senior year. Committees are appointed and they start planning and working and first thing you know — it ' s time for Junior Prom. Yes, this is the junior class, their pictures and names. Look them over.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY Once acquainted wlfh these sophomores you wouldn ' t fail to Include thenri when writing about New Castle High School. Why not? What does this class do that ' s so outstanding? In answer to those two questions we want to say that this class has naany out- standing nnennbers in sports, music, speech, home economics, business, and shop (industrial arts). It ' s true that the class does very little toward school life as to sponsor- ing school projects, but have you ever tried looking through a telescope whose second lens is missing? Likewise, without the sophomore year our high school career would be distorted. So, you see, they are very important and you mustn ' t fail to meet them. They are very proud to be attending N. H.

The Icrds m fhis class really get plenty of kicking around. Greenle is a typical name given to all freshmen here at New Castle High School as it is in all schools. We have many pranks which we pull on the freshmen; and no matter what they do, they are victims of some sort of joke. During the freshman year of high school the students learn to get along with other students. Yes, we know that they have been going to schoci with other kids since they were six and seven, but just the same they have to learn how to get along in high school during their freshman year. They have a different schedule to follow from that which they followed in grade school or junior high, hllghllghts are placed on new Items. Plans are made for an entire four-year program. Convocations are scheduled for their entertainment and education, and new emphasis is placed on vocational training, sports, and extra cur- rlcular activities. Here are the freshmen, all 291 of them.

And in the following section of our yearbook we will show you how it ' s done. After school those that don ' t have jobs go down to the drugstore or the canteen to eat and talk over the day ' s mishaps. And what about those kids who do work after school? Well, there are always after working hours, you know! During the school year the school puts on several dances each of which is sponsored by some school club. Some of these annual ones are Harvest Hop, Snow Ball, Holiday Dance, Heart ' s Hop, Class Day Dance, and we can never fail to mention Junior Prom and Commencement dances! As for school shows we can chalk up for 1946-1947 four band and orchestra concerts, Footlights of ' 46, Crescendo Varieties, and several others. During the school day we had many interesting convocations. These are a few of the things we do to keep busy, so leaf through the next section and you may find out more.

ALTRUSA GIRLS JUNIOR ROTARIANS Business clubs appreciate us, +00, Mr. Haydn. The Altrusa Club, a local professional women ' s club, elected a group of six girls to represent the high school at the meetings. These girls were chosen on the basis of personality, leadership, and the vocation which they plan to follow after finishing their college education. One girl is chosen to attend each month. They attend one meeting at which they are introduced to the members and asked to tell why they have chosen the vocation that they have. The Altrusa girls for this year are Mary Rinard, Novennber; Dolores Davis, January; Sally Sau+er, February: Mary Tambusco, March; yera Lee Turpin, April; Thelma Wilson, May. The Junior Rotarlans are members of the senior class elected by members of The National Honor Society to attend the regular weekly luncheons of the local Rotary Club. The basis for their selection is leadership, personality, general worthiness, and accomplishments for the benefit of the school. The senior class president, and male members of the Honor Society are automatically members, while the remainder are voted on. The class president attends the first month. At the end of the month he introduces the next Junior Rotarian to the members of the club. They continue in this fashion through the year. The members and the months they attended are Tom Cashdollar, October; Bob Small, November; Jim Sher- man, December; Mac Parker, January; David Day. February; Roger Covert, March; Richard Miles, April; Jack Van Hoose, May. Left to right: Thelma Wilson, Dolores Davis, Mary Tambucos, Vera Lee Turpin, Mary Rin- ard, and Sally Sauter. Left to right: Jim Sher- man, Tom Cashdollar, Bob Small, Mac Parker, Jack Van Hoose, David Day, and Richard Miles. Seated at the desk is Roger Covert. ROSENNIAL STAFF Here we are, Mr. Haydn, the gang that slaved night and day — and Incidentally enjoyed it, too — the gals and boys responsible for this, the ROSENNIAL of 1947. We had fun, we admit that, but we learned a great deal about putting out an annual. It ' s our sincere wish that you enjoy reading this, the finished product, as much as we did making It; because, naturally, we ' re rather proud of our efforts. You really get pepped up over something when It occupies your seventh period every day for a year as the ROSENNIAL has. Every member of the staff — both business and editorial — had his hand in on this, our brain child. Here we are, taking our afternoon siesta on the stairs — intro- ducing — 4th row — Bob Keesllnq, Bill Don- nella, Roger Covert, Marvin Gernsteln, David Smith. 3rd row — Richard Miles, Mark Ocker, Betty Riley, Charles Ash- ton, Martha Mendenhall. 2nd row — Bill Thompson, Marjorie Young, Rosemary Judklns, Frieda Diclcerson. 1st row — Dolores Davis, Joan De- vening, Phyllis Sidwell, Joyce Hendricks, Mary Rinard, Mary Tambucos. A usual 7+h period hall scene outside o room 309 — Bob Keesling explains his latest play, as Rog Covert, Miss RItter, Diclt Miles, and Cookie Gern- stein stand around and look rather — shall we say — uninterested. Something seems to be terribly wrong — the sun is still streaming Into the Rosennlal office — and by the smiles of Rosemary Judkins, Mary Rinard. and Frieda Dlckerson — they ' re completing the last panel of the day. They must be speed demons. It ' s hard to believe that these three grinning fools could help steer the Rosennlal to completion — but they did — and here they are — as usual trudging their weary way to the Rosennlal office — the co- editors and the business manager — Mart. Dick, and Joan. ORCHESTRA BAND Mr. Chenoweth, in addition to directing the band. Is the director of the concert orchestra. Their most successful s eries of programs this year has been the concert series. ' The programs for these vary. The first featured a piano solo- ist; he second, a piano team; the third, a baritone soloist; the fourth, a woodwind quintet. In spite of the fact that this is Its first year, the concert series has been successful. Our orchestra Is always called upon to help with dramatics department programs. Being willing to help, the orchestra has aided In keeping many an audience Interested while the scenes are being changed.

They gave entertainments at the halves of our football games. Their various formations and excellent playing. In addition to their flashy Trojan green and white uniforms, make a very pretty picture out- lined against the gridiron. But that Isn ' t all. They play at the basketball games and help to keep up school spirit, even though the team might be behind. Many of our half- time programs would enjoy very little success without the aid of the band, for during the year many of these programs require music. The band Is again called upon to help and It stands always ready, always willing to help. Yes, we believe we are Justified In being proud of our band.

CHOIR Our choir, under the direction of Mr. Snnall and accom- panied by Janet Teetor, has taken part in many programs this year. They have sung at several of our convocations. Our concert series has been deeply enriched by their fine singing. In December the choir presented the music for the senior vesper service. At Christmas time they made records wMch were played over a public address system in the down- town area. They went to Muncie and appeared on a radio program there. So you see, Mr. Haydn, our choir is just as busy as any other department. No wonder we ' re proud of them!

FOOTLIGHTS with the lights dimmed, torchy-voiced Betty Sampley sings Coax Me A Little Bit. Looking at those gorgeous gals — we ' d like to know who ' d have to be coaxed! Onward, onward, swords against the foe — so sings the Vagabond King, Jack Van Hoose, and his loyal -followers as they plan to overthrow Burgundy. One of our very important activities has been dramatics. This year we put on the first all-dramatic review entitled The Footlights of ' 46. Every member of the two dramatics classes had some part in the show — which meant that 75 people worked and played to- gether. We feel, Mr. Haydn, that the friends we made, the ability to work together that was gained during rehearsals, and the actual performance were a vital pa rt of our high school training. Many types of music were used in the seven acts. At the open- ing of the curtains Candy, with her dancing eyes, started the audi- ence off on an evening of entertainment. Everyone on stage sounded super and looked good enough to eat. Do you know, Mr. Haydn, some folks got to worrying about whether they ' d closed the windows during the Rain number? It was that realistic in fact they even sold umbrellas on the stage and such lush rain coats haven ' t been seen for many a day. By the Sea brought forth loud laughter and long low whistles. Those lovely, lovely gals in the bathing beauty contest .. those gay nineties creatures and the life guards wheee! ! ! Carmen was quite exotic — the audience enjoyed the costuming and solos. Some of the so-called factory workers mingled with the audience. The Varieties contained many popular songs — such as Shanty Town, Every Day is Ladies Day — and more pretty girls — especially in If You Were The Only Girl. Everyone was dressed in white for the Colors number in which colored spot lights were used. Some of the solos were Blue Skies, Deep Purple, Tangerine, and Black Magic. At the raising of the curtain disclosing a chapel interior with several kneeling figures —  the audience fell silent. Ave Maria with its severe simplicity lenr a note of reverence to the performance. It ' s raining cats and dogs as Peg Ram- sey, Joan Devening, Phyllis Dalton, Pat Armstrong, Patty Morris, and Bev Cox huddle under umbrellas to listen to Pat Ellis ' singing of A Garden In The Rain. With the ancestral Chinese portraits gazing down on the smooth tap dancing — Chinatown was really a top-notch act. The audience was put in the proper mood by the rick-shaw procession down the center aisle. For the finale we presented The Vagabond King — with most of the cast surging forth from the rear of the gym. All the banners and torches were really effective as the scum of Paris joined their friends on the stage. Rehearsals were always filled with laughter and general cutting up. Then there was the time the chairs fell down under the bleach- ers — that time the rick-shaw ran into a post — the panic on opening night when the sea back-drop flew to the ceiling — the party at Klotsch ' s after the last performance, with everyone imitating every- one else ' s act. All that food — the scavenger hunt — rough-housing in the barn — playing tackle in the barn-yard. We count the re- hearsals, the actual performance, and the after as high-lights of our memory book. DANCES Confetti . . . serpentine ... a little baby New Year (2 in fact) . . . Father Time . . . huge champagne glasses witli large vari-colored bubbles (on the wall — of course) . . . hundreds of little pink elephants along with mistletoe composed the gay and festive atmosphere of the Ho!iday Dance . . . everyone turned out — dressed in his best. What do all N. H. S. students look forward to? You guessed it, Mr. Haydn, it ' s the dances! I After every honne basketball game some club sponsors a mixer to which everyone is invited, including those from the visiting school. Usually a school band or orchestra plays and everyone has a super time. It ' s the place to see all the gang — get to dance with the cute little brunette you ' ve seen in the halls — or talk to that super letterman who made the winning basket. Some club dances are annual affairs. The SunShine Snow Ball is always a winter wonderland with enough Christmas trees around to remind you of a forest. This year Santa Claus crowned Peggy Ram- sey as Snow Queen. Another event we look forward to is the Phoenix staff dance after the sectional tourney. This year they called it the Tourney Trample. In the fall we ' re all a-flutter about the annual Harvest Hop, the dance put on by the Hi-Y. Virginia Wright was crowned queen this year, and she and her date, Bud Klotsch, led the grand march. During the Christmas vacation the Hi-Y and Fi Del hold their Holiday Dance, a very festive occasion. This time the baby New Year was even present. We must have won the game that this mixer followed ' cause look at the big, happy crowd ... it must be a fast number because iust a few are dancing. Every girl has her chance in February. Some schools have a Sadie Hawkins day — but the Fi Del has the Hearts Hop. Every girl asks her dream man to go dancing, and everyone has his best foot forward. This year Betty Lindley and John Whalen were crowned Queen and King of Hearts and they led the grand march. Teeny Swain ' s music was really something to dream about. And that gym — with streamers making an aisle to walk through — hearts and cupids all over — tables around the floor — it certainly didn ' t look like our little old gym. The Harvest Hop . . . everyone has on his best bib and tucker . . . the music was mellow . . . everyone had a simply wonderful time . . . we ' ll always remem- ber the first gala dance of the year . . . some of the freshmen had their first c ' ;ance to go to a big dance. The juniors had their day, too. Yes, Mr. Haydn, they enter- tained the seniors at the Junior Prom, one of the most lavish affairs given during the school year. Prom always has superb entertainment, wonderful costumes — and an air of gaiety always seems to be around when the juniors say farewell, getting ready to fill the saddles of the mighty seniors. And then — there ' s the long, long-awaited occasion, filled with tears and laughter — something to be long remembered — The Commencement Dance, our Commencement, the last time we get to dance in our gym while we ' re still in high school. Oh, yes, Mr. Haydn, we consider all of our dances a very, very vital part of our school activities. We ' ll remember them long after we lay away our childish dreams, and take our rightful place in these times of a changing world. CANTEEN Coolcle puts a nickel in the iuke box while onlookers gaze in amazement. The music is soft or fast — according fo who put the nickel in. The bar at the canteen is always busily supplying stu- dents with soft drinks, candy, and pop-corn — the checker boards are in constant use — as are the ping-pong tables in the basement — the dance floor is crowded with the high school gang. You can find all this and more, too — at the Trojan Trading Post — the local canteen located at the Y. M. C. A. Yes, Mr. Haydn, this is our hang-out — the place to congre- gate after school — the spot to meet the gang — listen to music from the juke box — study a little and have a good time in gen- eral. Early in 1943 the townspeople began to realize that their kids needed a place to knock around in — a place where they needn ' t worry about breaking bric-a-brac, scratching up the floor, or ruining the rug by dancing or spilling cokes on it. With a little remodeling a portion of the main floor of the Y proved to be the perfect spot. The students have proved that, with the assistance of Mr. C. A. Wittenbraker and Mr. Maurice Parsons, the canteen is a great success. Deventng in one silly moments! of he It ' s the regular hang-out of the high school crowd — after ball games — club meetings — a place to meet before and after the show. You can catch up on your latest math assignment — or just listen to the latest gossip. Some towns have yet to get their canteen. We ' re certainly very proud and happy to have ours — and do we use it? Well — the chairs and tables are usually crowded with people — and there are even kids sitting on the radiators and leaning on the juke box. Come back again, Mr. Haydn, and see how our gang thrives at the canteen. You can always find someone there. It ' s the one place you ' re bound to meet all of your old friends, and get to know some of the other kids much better. Peg and Jamie, Mart and Mac. Cookie and Margie, and others trip the light fantastic. CLUBS Attention all club members: There will be an important meeting in room Remember hearing something like that the third period? The P. A. system keeps all club members well informed as to what goes on and when. We have approximately fifteen clubs here at New Castle High School. Plenty of variety, too. For example? Well, the scientists have the Science Society; the musicians have the Crescendo Club; the politicians have the Students Council; French students have French Club; and the Latin students have Latin Club. Still others? you ask, Mr. hiaydn? Yes. There ' s the National Honor Society for the brains ; the Machinists ' Club for the machinists; Girls ' Athletic Association for the athletic-minded girls; the F. H. A. for the future homemakers of America; the F. F. A. for the future farmers of America; and the Tri-Ratio, Tri Beta Delta, SunShine Society, Fi Del, Hi-Y, and Questor ' s Hi-y for all the socialites! Enough you say? You bet, and we have loads of fun getting experience at leadership, service, and (ahem!) parliamentary exercise. Payc Sixly-scvcn STUDENT COUNCIL Third row: Mr. Castor, T. Cash- dollar, K. DIHon, G.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Probably the most exclusive organization in our school is the National Honor Society, which consists of juniors and seniors who are chosen by the faculty. The choice is based on leadership, scholarship, char- acter, and service. Fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class are eligible. Among their activities are taking care of the honor roll and ushering at the convocations. This year they have taken on a new duty, ushering at the music department concerts. The officers for the first semester were Jack Van Hoose, president; Dolores Davis, vice president; Joan Devening, secretary; Bob Small, treasurer; Miss Ratcliffe, sponsor. Second semester the following officers were elected: Richard Miles, president; Martha Mendenhall, vice presi- dent; Doris Pleasant, secretary; Phyllis Sidwell, treas- urer. FRENCH CLUB A new club in school this year is the La Societe Francaise, otherwise known to most of us as the French Club. With Mr. Alvin Lake as sponsor, the members have tried to spread the French language in our school and city. The formal banquet, pictured below, and a dance after one of the basketball games were the main activities of this organization. The officers were Richard Miles, president; Jim Dailey, vice president; Phyllis Sidwell, secretary; Mary Van Boven, treasurer. Fl DEL The Fi Del Club was formerly a closed club under the name of Tri-Hi. During the school year it was changed to an open club with the new name of Fi Del. The girls met every two weeks to discuss and carry out their program, which included Holiday Dance, Tri-Hi Reunion, pitch-in supper, and the annual Hearts Hop. These are only part of the things that Fi Del was responsible for having. Among their other important activities were sell- ing refreshments at each basketball game, selling Tuberculosis seals at Christmas, and passing blankets during the half of the basketball games in order to help with the March of Dimes collection. This year ' s officers were Joan Devening, presi- dent; Imogene Sparks, vice president; Beverly Cox, secretary; Martha Mendenhall, treasurer; and Mrs. Wilma Hartzell, sponsor.

SUNSHINE SOCIETY The SunShine Society, having nearly one hundred members, is the largest organization in our school. This club is open to all girls in high school. In order to become a member you must earn a number of points made by giving service in certain suggested ways. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Fylious Fisher this group of girls has done many things for the good of their school and community. At Thanksgiving the girls fixed fruit plates for the sick and shut-ins. At Christmas time they gave baskets to the needy. As a social activity they sponsored one of the outstanding events of the year — that all-important dance, The Snow Ball. Pictured below is a scene from the dance showing Peggy Ramsey, who was elected Snow Queen. Each year in the spring this club collects money for the Riley Fund, which is used at James Whitcomb Riley Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. At Easter, the girls conduct a sunrise service for the faculty and students, and serve breakfast to the guests following the ceremony. The officers were Martha Mendenhall, president; Linda Harrison, vice-president; Marilyn Payne, re- cording secretary; Joan Devening, corresponding :ecretary; Mary Ann Foyst, treasurer. G. A. A. At the Armory every Thursday afternoon at 3:30 p. m. you ' ll find a group of girls playing soccer, volley ball, basketball, baseball, and nearly every athletic game you could think of. The purpose of the league Is to stimulate interests in girls ' athletics and to standardize and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. By playing each Thursday the girls gain skill in all sports. Under the sponsorship of Miss Ruth Andrews and Kiss Suzanne Rapp the members of the Girls ' Athletic Association sold pennants, sponsored a dance after one of the basketball games, sold green and white Trojan hats, and played soccer at the half of the Burris-New Castle basketball game. Pictured below is a scene from the soccer game. The officers for the year were Cecilia RIfner, president; Phyllis Sidwell, vice-president; Ruby Dobb=;, secretary; and Judith Shepherd, treasurer.

ALPHA TRI-RATIO Any junior or senior girl in N. H. S. is eligible to become a member of Alpha Tri-Ra+io. Like Tri Beta Delta, this club is also a branch of the state Tri-Hi-Y organization. In addition to regular meetings, one of which is pictured below, the girls gave a Mother and Daughter banquet, and in the spring gave a tea for their mothers. They also sponsored a dance during the year. This club contributed to the March of Dimes. The officers for the year were Virginia Wright, president; Helen Martin, vice-president; Thelma Wilson, secretary; Ruby Dobbs, treasurer. The sponsor is Miss Martha Shelley. TRI BETA DELTA A comparatively new club in this high school is the Tri Beta Delta, which was organized in 1945. So many girls asked to join the Tri-Ratio chapter that it soon became necessary to form two groups. Since this was against the club ' s constitution, it was decided to make two separate clubs. The second became Tri Beta Delta. Both clubs are branches of the State Tri-Hi-Y organization. During the year the girls held a formal initiation which is pictured below and also sponsored a dance after one of the basketball games. The officers for the year were Thelma Upchurch, president; Margaret Sutton, vice-president; Virginia Thompson, secretary; Phylli s Popejoy, treasurer, and Miss Helen Rupley, sponsor. SCIENCE SOCIETY Science Society is the oldest organization in New Castle High School. Its purpose is to delve further into the phenomena of science. An organization such as this tends to introduce science to more and more students. Any student in high school may be- come a member of Science Society if he is interested in science. As in previous years this club has man- aged to have some very interesting programs during the year. This year some programs which proved to be outstanding were one in which a magician was present and a liquid air demonstration. The officers for the year were Alan Yergin, presi- dent; Bob Thomas, vice-president; Sally Sauter, secretary; Jim Bancroft, treasurer. The sponsor is Mr. George Bronson. The girls of Tri Beta Delta are dressed in Normals to initiate their new members at a dinner at the Y. The Alpha Tri-Ratio mennbers are holding one of their regular meetings in the canteen. SPORTS Who are those guys that are wearing those green sweaters with the big white N across the front? You guessed it! They are the guys who have played in one of the many fields of sports offered at New Castle High School. They are the ones we sit through rain and shine to see carry a football across th? goal, the ones whom we cheer on to make another basket, to run a little harder, to pitch or bat that baseball a little better than the other team. But, Mr. Haydn, when you visited our school, you didn ' t witness one of our sporting events. You didn ' t see the Trojans work after school in order to play a conferenc e foe. You didn ' t see our athletes stay home from dances and refuse chocolate candy bars in order to be in better physical condition when they played Muncie Central or any other team that challenged them. So, Mr. Haydn, as you leaf through the sports section of our book, you can see for yourself the Trudgers in action and in play. And you can see why our school is rated among the best when it comes to sports. We know that as you read these pages, you will admit that N. H. S. has many fine athletes, and whether our win and loss record is good or bad, that you will agree with us that the following quotation is true: When the one great score is marked against your name. He cares not if you won or lost, but how you played the game.

Langan was the assist- ant coach and instructed the junior varsity who were credited with several victories. He gave considerable time to the varsity squad, was the main backfield instructor, and developed his boys into hard runners and bloclors. Jan is the head football coach and hails from Indiana University. Through hi: oast records, he has proved to be one of the best in his field. A valuable asset to the curly-haired gentleman is his personality which, in turn, enables him to have closer relations with his players. Since his arrival at our high school, he has made a record of 18 wins and I I losses. And there is Bill Makowsky, who is better known as Doc. hlo princioally dealt with the fresh- man squads and his job included training the beginners in the fundamentals of the game. New Castle ' s Trojans should benefit from this well-balanced staff and improve their records in the future. FACTS ABOUT FOOTBALL Although the Trojans gained a total of II 95 yards by rushing and 525 yards passing in nine games, they came out of the 1946 football season winning three games and losing six. Last August 20, Coach John Janzaruk greeted 40 eager players, and out of this group there were only four players with any previous experience. After three weeks of practice, the Trojans were first tested by the Crispus Attucks team from Indianapolis, which was rated at the end of the season eighteenth in the state. The Trudgers at times displayed the form of a winning team, but at other times they showed lack of experience and the need for improvement. The final outcome was 18-6 in favor of New Castle. The next game was with the Seymour Owls, who definitely thumped the Trojans by a score of 20-6. There just wasn ' t too much to tell about this game as the Trojans displayed both a poor offense and a poor defense. The next game was with the Richmond Red Devils; but, although the Trojans were beaten by score 20-0, they played one of their best game of the season. The Trojans played heads-up ball the entire game, and gained a total of 186 yards rushing and 128 yards passing. The Trojans met the Rushville Lions and defeated them 14-13 in their next game. The Trojans displayed a bad first half offense and a very poor defense, but came out in the last half to put over two touchdowns and two extra points to win the game. The Trojans then went to Marion where they played the best game of the season. Led by Bob Keesling, who scored two touchdowns, they won their third game of the season by a score of 19-6. After winning two games in a row, the Trojans then prepared for the Gerstmeyer team from Terre Haute, who were rated as one of the toughest teams in the state. Although the Terre Haute team won the game by a 39-7 margin, the Trojans outplayed them in every phase of the game, and ran up 12 first downs to Gerstmeyer ' s five. Gerstmeyer scored three touchdowns on three intercepted passes and one on a return kick-off to give them the breaks of the game. The Trojans now became desperate for another win and tried to take it out on the Shortridge Blue Devils. Although the Trojans played a good game for three quarters and were on top 13-12 at that time, they just didn ' t have the reserves to help them and came out on the short end of a 31-13 score. Then came the final game of the season with the Trojans ' oldest rival, the Muncie Bearcats. The Bearcats were favored to win by at least six to seven touchdowns. The Trojans put on the power, aided by a muddy field, to stop the Muncie Bearcats and their all-state back, Dooley; but the Bearcats won by a 20-0 margin. Third row: left fo right — Gruler, G.

THE TROJANS ' TRAIL At the beginning of fhe basketball season, Mac Parker had an injury so Bob Keesling was the only returning regular. After losing the first five games — Conners- ville, Greensburg, Anderson, Tech, and Burris — the men of Troy won from a highly favored Richmond team. After a loss to Muncie, they showed a great offense to win from Rushville 53-24. With a revamped line-up, the Trojans showed they were to be feared. They lost to Columbus and Anderson before winning from Logansport in the Big 4 tournament on New Year ' s Day. Lafayette, 3rd in state, beat the Trojans by a margin of only 5 points, 37-32, before they won from Kokomo and Frankfort. After a revenge defeat by Richmond, they won from Marion and Logansport. In a hard- fought game Muncie beat the Trudgers 37-35. They were then rated as the most improved ball club in the state. The Trojans were out for revenge against Anderson, who had won two previous encounters, and beat them 43-26. The Trojans reached their peak by giving Lebanon their worst defeat of the season 46-29. The Greenmen won 6 games and lost 6 in the North Central conference. This put the Trudgers in 5th place in the conference. When the tip-off for the first game of the sectional came, the Trudgers had three regulars out and lost a very hard-fought game to Mooreland 33-32. They scored a total of 602 points for an average of 34 points. The Trudgers ' foes score 580 for an average of 32 points. The three seniors — Yeager, Parker, and Keesling — will be missed but the Trojan squad has 7 returning lettermen next year including 5 sophomores.

And in the North Central conference play, the Trudgers struck the happy medium by ending with a six and six count. The all-sophomore squad displayed their strength by ending the half-way mark with seven victories out of nine starts. Then with the beginning of the second half, Coach Stuckey rearranged his A team and elevated Bob Hedrick, Bob Stegner, and Jim Dailey to the varsity team. With the absence of these starters. Coach Makowsky drilled his remaining eight boys and discovered some real competitors. In the remaining nine encounters, the Green quintet was credited with four. The future Trojans are pictured below. Third row: Left to right — Coach Makowsky, Manager Scott. Second row: Crane. Hodgin, Cassady, Young. First row: Grose, Stegner, Meek, Cline, Hawkins. BASEBALL Despite the difficulties of rainy weather, the 1946 Trojan baseball team enjoyed a very successful season, winning ten games and losing four. The Trojans, under the able guidance of Doc Makowsky, opened the 1946 winning streak by defeating Spiceland 21-0, and then continued as follows: New Castle 6, Knightstown 2; New Castle 15, Spiceland 6; New Castle 20, Knightstown 2; New Castle 10, Connersville 6. New Castle then played a return game with Connersville and were beaten 7-5, to end their five-game winning streak. Next they played Rich- mond and lost by a score of 18-3, and then to Muncie 13-2, and Anderson 4-0, before they returned their full glory by beating Richmond 3-2, Muncie 8-3, Kokomo 10-8, Marion 6-5, and Frankfort 5-2. The Trojans played their games during a very rainy season, in which games with Anderson, Shelbyville, Tech, and Lafayette were cancelled. Although this couldn ' t be proved they still were rated as one of the toughest sluggers in the business. Returning to the 1947 squad will be Mac Parker, Bob Keesling, Jack Van Hoose, Ralph demons, John Kinsinger, Jack Keith, and Tom Cashdollar. Fourth row: Coach Makowsky.

TRACK AND CROSS-COUNTRY During the fall of 1946 cross-country, another new sport, was added to the long list of Trojan activities. The team had a fair season with 2 wins and 2 losses. The five runners who were chosen for the team were Clarence Schofield, David Smith, John Kinsinger, Eugene Haynes, and Jack Wright. Although this is a new sport, it still tends to build the boys ' form and endurance for other sports and by the time the season rolls around again, the Trojans will take to their usual winning form. During the spring the regular track season starts. Although last season ' s track team wasn ' t too good, this year they will have a lot to look forward to. Returning to the Trojans Thinlies will be Bob Keesling, who ran the 220 and 440-yard dashes; Mac Parker in the pole vault and 220; John Whalen in the mile and half mile; and Jim Dailey in the half mile and 220-yard dash. Returning for the mile relays, which was a strong point of last year ' s team, will be Jim Dailey, Bob Keesling, Bob Small, and David Day. This relay team last year placed second in the sectional. Mac Parker placed second in the pole vaulting, and Jim Dailey placed second in the 880-yard dash. Coach Walter Dutch Hassfurder will have a group of experienced men this season and we can look forward to new Trojan glory.

GOLF The golfers of Troy opened their 1946 golf season on April 3rd wifh a win over Richmond by a score 4-3. Then on May I 7+h we played a refurn mafch with Richmond and lost by a score of I 1-4. The Trojans then entered a conference meet at Kokomo and placed fourth with a total of 369 points. In the mid-afternoon of May 14th, the Trojan golfers beat the Anderson Indians by a score I I-6I 2. Playing a return match on May 20th, we beat Anderson again 16-8. The Trojans were next to be entertained for the afternoon at the exclusive Meridian Hills Golf Course at Indianapolis in com- petition with Tech and Anderson. We placed third. To wind up the season the Trojans took part in an invitational meet at Tech where they placed third. This was a fairly successful season for the green and white golfers since it was the first time they had taken part in inter-scholastic competition in three years. Returning for the 1947 campaign will be Jerry Charles, Marvin Gernstein, Elbert Chastain, Larry Barry, and Mac Parker. The schedule for the ' 47 season consists of dual meets with Muncie, Richmond, and Anderson, and conference meets with Kokomo and Tech of Indianapolis.
