THE ODGNIAN SENIOR PROPHECY As I entered the class room this morning, after being out rather late the night before, I began to realize that in a few weeks we would not be coming to this class any longer. The last thing I remembered Mr. Marlin saying was to work out Study Cuide for Chapter 31. Since I had already finished this, I laid my head on my desk, and in a short time my thoughts were far away. I was completely lost in a dream. I dreamed I was in Udon working as a bookkeeper for an enormous Class Manufacturing Corp., owned by one of my former classmates, Keith Russell. It was yacation time for me and I had planned a trip to Hawaii. I was to meet the train in W'ashington the following day at 4:30. The trip was quite long and tiresome. The train stopped many times to pick up passengers and let them off. I stopped in St. Louis for an hour. As I stepped off the train, a short fat porter came toward me to help carry my luggage. It was none other than Eldon Howard. We chatted for a while, then I went into the waiting room to wait for the next train. As I entered the room, I saw four familiar looking faces, Mrs. Eva Mae Ferguson, the former Miss Eva Crane and hus- band and Mrs. Helen Spurgeon, the former Miss Helen Hugunin, and her husband. I talked with them for a while and found that they had had a double wedding, and they were taking their honey- moon together. As it was nearing time for the next train, I decided to freshen my make-up a bit. Hurrying off to the powder room, I bumped into a telegraph boy, whom I discovered to be Bob Ketchem. At last I was on my way again. I spent another night on the train. and we reached San Francisco at 11:00 o'clock the next day. YYhen I walked away from the train platform, I saw a taxi coming toward meg it was, to my surprise. Dead Eye Dreiinan. He took me to the Hotel .fXmbassador. Upon reaching the lobby of the hotel, I saw a bell boy coming toward me. It was my old classmate, Cerald Padgett. He took me to my room. It was a while later when I discovered that he had taken me to the wrong room. Can you imagine? The room was already taken by one of my old classmates, Sherill Taryin. Sherill and I chatted for quite a while. I She told me that she had been married twice and both husbands had died from poisoning. You can guess who had given the poison to them, can't you? She said that Maudie jones, Mary Mclloberts, Cleo Wlilliams, NYilma Ritchey and Grace McCarter were all working in Indianapolis, It was also a surprise to me that ltletty Stuffle was married to Calyin lleasley. and that Yirginia Pruett had married another Beasley by the name of Everett in a double wedding ceremony and were living near A THE QDONIAN Raglesville, devoted to the raising' of little Beasleys. It was g'etting' rather late, so I had to find my room and this time it was the 1'ig'ht room. Being' tired f1'O111 my journey to San Francisco, I lay down to rest for a while. iVYlien I awoke from my nap. I decided to g'o out for dinner. I natu1'ally had to take in the Brown Derby, where Jim Callahan's band was being' featured as the main attraction of the week end. Featured as his vocalist was Ruth Crane. Upon arriving' at the Brown Derby, I checked my coat with the check girl, who was one of the girls from our g'raduating' class. It was 'I'reva Arney. I found my way throug'h the crowd to my table assisted by the waiter, who was Hob Parsons. .Ks I was waiting' for my meal to be served, I looked into a far corner and noticed the cig'arette g'irl who was Sara Seneff. VVhen she came to my table, she sat down to chat for a while. She inform- ed me that the owners of the Ilrown Derby were De1'ald Hasler and Dean l'orter, who had been recently married and were living' on Hollywood Iloulcvard. I was informed the chief c-ook of the restau- rant was Carl Overton, formerly known as Popeye, After enjoying' an evening' of music and delicious food, I left the Ilrown Derby to retu1'n to my hotel room to g'et a g'ood nig'ht's sleep. When morning' came I found myself waiting' anxiously for my boat to leave the dock for Hawaii. It was only a day's journey, so we reached the Island late that evening. As I stepped off the boat. I heard some beautiful music which sounded very near to me, so I decided to see where it was coming' from. As I walked closer to the sound, I found that it was coming' from a restaurant. I opened the door and walked in. There in the back of the 1'oom were some of my old friends. l1nag'ine Harry VValls being' surrounded by a g'roup of hula hula girls! They we1'e Georg'ia XN'inklepleck, NYilma Gee, Norma Gee, Elinor lloyd and Romona White. At that moment I aroused from my dream only to hear Mr. Marlin saying Janet, will you please answer question Zl ?' Janet Green Carl Overton Cleo NYilliams Gerald Padgett 'Why did you leave your last job? 'lllnessfl 'NYhat sort of illness? 'My boss said he got sick of me.'

Tears are in our eyes. Hand down that diploma with the golden writingg Guide us to paradise. Show us that platform, take us across, W'ash all our troubles away, Like our lucky ole teachers, give us nothing to do But take life easy all the way. Sara Seneff Roniona White Robert Parsons Paul Spurgeon THE ODONIAN CLASS HISTORY ln 1945, we entered the Odon High School thinking that we were quite intelligent. Vve soon found that we were considered green freshmen by the upper classmen, as all freshman classes are. NVe began our Freshman year with 46 members. The new members that year were Edwin Ferguson, Robert Faith, Vivian Fisher, lva Ketchem, Gerald Padgett, Virginia Pruett, Betty Stuffle and Dewey Wfilkins. During the year Robert Faith, Wvalter Kaiser and lla Rusher withdrew. An unfortunate accident occurred that year and one of our classmates, James Sterling, was killed in an auto- mobile accident. At our first class meeting we elected Mrs. Freed our sponsor: Vivian Fisher, president: Jimmie Callahan, vice president: and lletty Mae Stuffle, secretary-treasurer. In our Sophomore year we dropped down to 36. During the summer we lost Iva Ketchem, Ted llflasters, Delilah Rusher, Georgia l':laine Rafferty, lclelen Taylor and llewey Wfilkins. During the school year we lost Doyle llllerkle and llurl lVIcRoberts, who joined the Navy. MVC had one new member, Norma Gee. liack to school in the fall of wiki our class elected the following officers: Mrs. Pate, sponsor: Harry Walls, president: Paul Spur- geon, vice president: lfdwin Ferguson, treasurer: and Virginia Pru- eth secretary. At the Carnival we decided to sponsor something new-A liaby Show. lt was one of the most successful shows and was a lot of fun. At the last of the year, our class gave the play entitled Beauty and the Beef. The cast included 27 players. The enrollment in the Junior year was 36. We welcomed two new members: Maudie Jones and Kermit Riggins. During the sum- mer and year we lost David i'il'OXVlllg' and Kermit Riggins. Even though four years of high school seems like a long time, our Senior year was here before we realized it. This year we have begun to think of life a little more seriously. Vlfe have always thought how happy we would be when we were ready to leave school, but now when we think of leaving school and our classmates, our thoughts are somewhat different. VVhen the time came for organizing our class this year, we elected lllr. Jensen, sponsor: Harry XX'alls, president: lletty Stuffle. vice president: Romona Yvhite, treasurer, and Jimmie Callahan, secretary: This last year we have a total of 34. Uur new members are janet Guthrie Green, Hob Parsons and Keith Russell. lVe lost THE ODONIAN George Arney, Nelson Roark, jim Byrd and Betty Harmon, who was killed in an automobile accident on August 28, 1949. At the first of the year we received our class rings which we ordered during our junior year. Another one of the important events was the Senior play, given the first semester. Although the cast of fourteen was quite a problem to our director, Mrs. Pate, our play was finally given successfully. For the Carnival this year the Seniors elected Sara Seneff as Queen and Jimmie Callahan as King. We sponsored a Style Show showing changes in clothes up to the modern period. It proved to be quite a success. As yet the Senior class has not taken any trips, but we plan to take two or three before the year is over. Wie have briefly given you some of the facts and happenings which we consider the most important during our four years of high school. Vve wish to express our sincere thanks to all the teachers and those who made our graduation possible. Eldon Howard Ruth Crane Earl R.

His speed and determination were the big factors in his 13 points scored per game. Popeye, was a great asset to the team this year and will be missed next year. EDXYIN FERGUSON, 6' 2 center ot the Bulldogs, was extremely good in rebounding and scored a large part ot his points by tip-ins. Fergie's height, calmness and hard drive will be missed next season. PAUL SPURGEON, guard, excellent in rebounding, proved to be capable of taking the ball down the court. Paul's long shot account- ed for many of his points. lleing a Senior with three year's experi- ence, he will leave another dent in next year's team. IDI CALLAHAN, guard on the first tive, contributed much to his team with his sportsmanship and determination. He is a good ball handler and his long shots accounted for many of his points. ylim also, is a Senior. 1 JERRY NEISXYANGER. forward, is excellent in pivot shooting. He is only a Sophomore with two years' experience, and he is des- tined to become an excellent player. NQRMAN SIMS. forward, is noted for his good shots. Although he has always been there to tight for the Bulldogs. he hasn't played too many games. Since he is only a Junior, he will be there fighting for the Bulldogs again next year, He has had three years' experi- ence. BUD SQLLIDAY, guard, is known for his hook shots. Although he won't be at Qdon next year, he has been a great asset for the Bull- dogs during his two years on the team. He is a Sophomore this year. RQBERT BGYD, center for the second team, hasn't seen too much action on the first team. He's an accurate shot and good on tip-ins. He's a Freshman this yearrand will probably make a great showing in his next three years, . DEAN PORTER, playing both guard and forward, hasnit seen too much action this year, but was always there when needed. This is Deans last year. DERALD HASLER. playing both guard and forward. hasn't seen much action, but he was always there at the right time. Derald is a Senior this year.

THE QDGNIAN BAND AND GLEE CLUB DEPARTMENT The students of the music department have been kept very busy all during the summer and winter with their many concerts and other engagements. The band met three times Z1 week last summer to keep 11p their practicing in marching and playing. On .wugust 17, 18, 19 and 20, the band played concerts at the annual Old Settlers in the afternoons and nights. Sept. 7 seemed to be one of the greatest days for all the band students, This was the day when the band won the State Marching Championship at the lndiana State Fair. There was quite a cele- bration, and later on the merchants presented them with two beauti- ful banners that are now carried in front of the band. The band was invited to play at the Ellettsville - Monroe Fall festival. which was to be held Sept. 15. This was the clay that Gov- ernor Schricker attended. That night something happened to thc lighting system: so most of the concert was given in the dark. Qctober 5 was the day when the band played for the State Fox Meet that was held at the local park. The band appeared on television on October 15 at the Butler University Homecoming in lndianapolis. They also went to lndiana State at Terre Haute on Nov. 5 to march with several other bands for the Indiana State Homecoming. The trips proved very interest- mg. Cn Qctober 3, the band and glee club put on a program for the Halloween parade. The American Legion took the band to Brazil on November 3 for one of the greatest parades ever to be held in lndiana. lt was George Craig Dayf' in honor of the new American Legion Com- mander, George Craig. There were approximately fifty bands in the parade that day, including college and high school bands. The band marched at Vvashington on November 25 for a Christmas parade. Three other bands in the county also participated. During the year the music department, with the help of the en- tire school, had a carnival, and later sold magazines to make money. New majorette uniforms were purchased tlns year. Un December 12, the band and glee club combined gave a Christmas program for PTA. The band was used to accompany the glee club as they sang and the dramatic students gave a panto- mine of the Christmas story. Since colored lights were used. the effect was very beautiful. lt was said that the band sounded like a THE ODGNIAN large organ. Un December 20, the same program was put on for the Lions Club, at which time only part of the band was used for accompaniment. A band concert was given for a Farm Bureau meeting on Janu- ary ll. Also, on January 17, the band and glee club combined put on a program tor the Farmers' Institute. A talent show sponsored by the Hand Boosters was given on January 26. The band played during the first part of the show, February 4 was an important day for some of the band mem- bers, since they entered the District Solo-Ensemble contest, some for the first time and others for the second. There were 42 entered in this contest, counting the ones that played in more than one thing. On February l8, those that won first division in the District, entered in the State Solo-linsemble Contest. Since this annual is being printed before the following dates, the outcome of them is not known, but on lvlarch l7, there will be a Spring Music Festival presented by all grades, including band and glee club. Un April l and l5. the band and glee club will attend the district and state band contests. During the school year, the band has played for seven ball games. Since Huron was just starting a band and wanted some ideas on how to organize one. our band traveled to Huron for the Udon-Huron game and put on a marching show for them. immv: ul wonder was George VV'ashinO'ton as honest as the ' sa f , es as .l :Y he was?

THE GDGNIAN CLASS TGURNAMENTS The class tournaments were held March 14, 15 and 16. In the drawing held by Mr, Brenneman, the Seniors were scheduled to play the Juniors. This left the Sophoniores and Freshman to play each other. The Sehior-junior game was played Tuesday, March 14. Naturally, the Seniors won a complete victory over the juniors. Un VVednesday, March 15, the Sophomores played the Freshmen. This too, proved to be an easy victory, although the Freshmen played a yery good game. The scores of these two games were: Senior- Junior game, ZS to 14, and the Sophomore-Freshmen game, 26 to 17. The final game was played Thursday, March 16. Again the Seniors scored over their underclassmen, winning the game with eight points to their advantage. Thus, the Seniors have again carried forth the tradition of being the class champions. Wie, the Seniors of 1950, hope that this tradition will be suc- cessfully carried on in the future tournaments of the Qdon High School. . . The neighborhood borrower approached Mr. Smith Sunday noon and inquired: Say, Smith, are you using your lawn-mower this afternoon?l' Yes, T am, Smith replied warily. Fine, Then you wonlt be wanting your golf clubs-T'll just borrow themf' VVife: 'Tye at last found a way to stop my husband biting his finger nailsf' Friend: 4'How?' VVife: 1 hide his teeth! Lady Qholding a cookie above the dogj : HSpeak! Speak! Dog: 'WVhat'll I say? THE ODGNIAN YELL LEADERS Our Yell Leaders this year did a splendid job. They not only led yells at ball games. but started a Booster Clubl' for the fans. We also had good pep sessions before the ball games. The Yell Leaders are all Seniors this year. Maudie jones-Maudie is President of the Booster Club. She always has lots of pep and energy. She loves sports and really Went all out for the ball team. Bob Parsons-Bob came from Montgomery this year. He's a good yell leader and a good sport. Sara Seneff-Sara is always laughing and happy. She kept ev- eryone yelling at ball games with that big smile. She was a good yell leader. VVe hope that the next yell leaders and fans will have as much fun as the yell leaders and fans did this year. The students all feel that this faithful and hard working group has helped make the Bull- dogs a winnig team. SENIOR SCEDULE October 25 --- ......-.......................

Can anyone tell us why we can't chew gum in class? Vvleive often wondered if our teachers ever remember when they were students in high school and did not have time to get all of their lessons. Wihy is it that when the Glee Club or Hand is scheduled to en- tertain, everyone knows it but them until only two or three days be- fore? The Senior girls wonder when the school will buy a new mirror for the girls' restroom. Often you will see one of the girls rubbing at a dirty spot on her face only to find that is an unsilvered spot on the mirror. And we would like to know where these teachers get the clues-f tions for their tests. VVhy is it when you have made a good or per- fect paper, the LAST question is one that you've never heard of? Also we often wonder why they don't treat us with more respect and not assign such enormous lessons! Miniature drinking fountains beside our desks would be a great improvement, also an elevator between floors. You can't imagine how tired we get. Honestly! And how about some assembly seats with cushioned backs? VVe girls would like for a big canvas covering to be stretched between the grade and high school buildings-especially for rainy davs. A radio in the assembly with soft music playing would aid our frayed nerves. Now that we have had our say about what we do not like about school, we must say at least one good thing about it. All teachers have been very helpful to us in our desperate struggle through high school, and although we may think theserdays have been somewhat f'tarnished, some day we will think of them as being golden.
