SENIOR ACTIVITIES YEARBOOK STAFF The Yearbook Staff, as pictured in this book, has worked very diligently to compose a Yearbook of all the school activities through '48 and ‘49. We are very proud to carry out the wishes of last year's Seniors and feel that we have succeeded in doing as good a job as we could. We have had a great deal of pleasure out of this work, even though it has been a huge job. The staff was composed of: Dan Shanbeck-Editor, Bob F idler-Photography Editor, Bob B lack-Louise Ross-Humor Editors, Jo Ann W arble-B usiness M anager, Glem Hiner-Assistant Business Manager, Joan Overmyer-Literary Editor, Doug White-Pat W eimer-S ports Editors, James Folk-Activities Editor, and Bob Black-M arson Kelly-Louise Ross-J o Ann W arble-G len Hiner-J oan Overmyer- The Advertisers. We hope you enjoy it, and keep it as a reference in later years to show to others and tell of the good old days at W ebster High. NEWSPAPER STAFF The High-Lites Staff was a very hard working group, mainly because of the lack of advanced-typists. They had a great deal of fun publishing the paper throughout the year. They tried to get all of the news in each issue, which came out every two weeks. They were very proud of the art-work accomplished in their papers. It came from many different sources in the school, which proves that Webster really has great artists. They have done their best in every way possible to keep it from being a Senior paper instead of a school paper; and hope you have appreciated it. The staff was composed of Juanita Popenfoose, Louise Ross, Jo Ann Warble, Joan Overmyer—Editors. The twelveth grade English Class collected and wrote the news. The artists were Jane Frisinger, Pat Eberly, Marson Kelly, and Art Engelberth. Mr. Lester Young was the faculty advisor. LIONS CLUB BANQUET We, the Seniors of '49”, gave a banquet for the Lion's Club on Thursday, December 16, 1948. The tables were beautifully decorated to resemble Christmas packages. The bow of the package (table) was accented with evergreen and candles, and the nut cups were fashioned after DOinsettias. Joan Overmyer was in charge of the cooking department. The waiters wore white shirts and bow ties. The menu consisted of: Tomato juice, ham, candied sweet potatoes, creamed peas, cole slaw, hot rolls, butter, coffee, pie, carrot and celery spears. SENIOR TRIP The Senior Class finally managed to get a long coveted class party. They were to start to C hie ago J anuary 29, 1949, at 10:00 A. M., but it seems that there was a slight delay and they did not get started till 10: 30 A. M. The class then proceeded in cars driven by Mr. Blosser, Mr. Royer and Wayne Randall. Everyone ate dinner at Walkerton and then proceeded to the Museum of Science and Industry, where they pushed buttons, pulled levers and turned cranks until about 5:00 P. M. When they started out to supper they found that Mr. Blosser's car was frozen up. It was finally fixed but in the mix-up one of the cars got lost and was on its own until they all finally met again at theShubert Theater, where they saw Brigadoon,” which was the main event of our trip. 22

TRAVELERS CLUB This is the second year for this High School C lub, with a membership of 36. William Smallwood, teacher of Social Science, is the sponsor this year. Some of the highlights of the year have been a bake sale, a farewell party for Mr. Caskey, a box social, many parties and interesting meetings (including arguments). The club is planning to take a trip this year (to live up to their name) , but have not yet decided upon the destination, as more money is needed for the treasury. The officers for this year are as follows: President, Bob Black; Vice- President, Faye Pearson; Secretary, Judy S ullivan; Treasurer, V onnie Pearson; J udicial C ommittee, P at W eimer, T om E lliott. The most memorable highlight of the year was the box social on the evening of November 30, starting at 7: 30 P.M. in the North Webster High School Gym, sponsored by the Travelers' Club. Mr. Smallwood and Phil Payne were to be auctioneers. Some very interesting pictures were taken of Mr. Smallwood as he performed his duties. The first box went for $ 1.00. The prices then climbed, for the boys were getting worried because of about 20 boys to 12 boxes. But the next to the last box hit the ceiling $4.50 sold to Bob Fidler. After all the boxes had been purchased everyone set to the job at hand of eating. (Actually no job at all.) LATIN CLUB The Latin Club was organized to stimulate interest in Greek and Roman culture.

They were served free lunch and enjoyed a lecture on the operation of the plant. They also visited the Board of Trade, where they learned how to buy grain futures and play the stock markets. A JOKE ON THE FUTURE FARMER “How did Buggs bruise the fingers of his right hand? “ “Put them in the horse's mouth to see how many teeth he had.” “And then what happened? “ The horse closed his mouth to see how many fingers Buggs had. 24
