THE ODONIAN HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1951 In the school year of 1939-40, our first grade of the Odon ele- mentary school was composed of forty-six little girls and boys. VVe were the usual type of beginners and seemed to have all sorts of difficulty in learning the names of our classmates. This was easily explained, however, as many of us had never seen each other before that time. VVe made progress through the first eight grades with only the expected difficulties, and we were sure that more than a few of our teachers developed several headaches and gray hairs because of our antics. At the conclusion of our grade school education, we partici- pated in an elementary school graduation exercise. VVe hope that the school officials were not too glad to get rid of us. VVe entered the Freshman class of the Odon-Madison Township high school in the year l947 with fifty members. This number in- cluded not only our classmates from grade school days but also new ones from Shiloh and Raglesville. We selected Mrs. Mary Jo Poin- dexter as our sponsor and elected the following officers: President, Sammy Kemp: Vice-President, joe Padgett: Secretary, Nancy Sticklesg Treasurer, Vera Miller. Our candidates in the King and Queen contest of the school carnival were lluddy lrlray and Nancy Sticlcles. Wk' were surprised, but greatly pleased to see them crowned, as our class was declared the winner. During our Sophomore year, our enrollment dropped to forty- two students. Our sponsor was Mr. Jensen and officers selected were: President, Doris Allison: vice-president, Vera Millerg secre- tary, Mary Alice Carpenter: and treasurer, Hinda Aishe. Hy the time we were Juniors there were only thirty three of us. VVe welcomed two new members, Ray Maust and Dick Streepy. Mrs. Pate was our sponsor during that year and we presented the play, Strictly Formalf' Our prom and reception for the Seniors was very successful and was an occasion we shall always be happy to keep in mind. Our class officers were: President, Bill Seneffg vice-president, Robert Manning: secretary, Hilda Aisheg and treasurer, Mary Alice Carpenter. Again our candidates, Norman Sims and Mary Alice Carpenter, were crowned the liing and Queen of the school carnival. During this year we also received our class rings. We entered the school year of 1950-Sl with thirty-one members of our group still enrolled. Our sponsor was Mr. Jensen and our officers were: President, Richard Poindexterg vice-president, Nor- man Sims: secretary, Yonda fleasleyg treasurer, Hilda Aishe, and class reporter. Rose Xlilliams. Uuring this year we lost lletty Melton, Dwight Taylor, and Mary VX'estmoreland. Our class play, Thank You. Mr. Parker was well received by an enthusiastic audience. Some of our girls pretended to enjoy play- THE DDONIAN ing the parts of old maids. During our Style Show, Al Callahan looked like a second Paul Bunyan and Doris and Mary Alice were beautiful, old fashioned bathing beauties. XYe have taken one Senior trip at present to Indiana Central College: but we also plan to attend the lndaina State Legislature. During Senior XYeek we shall make several other educational visits. Dui' usual Senior preparations have been completed and we are now anxiously awaiting the day of graduation exercises in the new school gymnasium. Dur gift to the school was a new, electric score board which will add to the enjoyment of all who attend our basket- ball games. XYe have given you some of the happenings which we consider the most important during our school years. VVe wish to express our thanks to all who have helped in making our graduation possible. Almeda Byrer Donald Ellis Almeda Rrummett TWENTY A MINUTE YVill YVhizz Cin typing classj : Howis your speed coming along, Helen? Helen: Fine. I can make twenty mistakes a minute.

And Dick replied: Yeath, sure does, l'll drive closer so you can smell it better. THE GDONIAN SENIOR PROPHECY As I was walking dow11 Main street one bright and sunny day, I saw a g'reat big wooden box not very far away. I went over to open it up and much to my surprise, I discovered the Senior prophecy right before my eyes. Some of this may be a little far fetched from what we remember the Seniors of '51 as being when they were in high school, but as you know, time changes everything. I quote as I read it from the paper. Quite a few of our class members are married: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Manning are living on the outskirts of Udon. Robert has two theaters in Odon and several more scattered over the state. M rs. Rosalie Rainy, tHolland to usj is now living in Washirig- ton, Indiana, where her husband is Judge of the Circuit Court. Mr. and M rs. l'aul Taylor, tformerly Sue Clarkj are now living in Indianapolis. Sue has recently been voted the wife of the year. liobbie Pershing finally got her man. They are now living in lledford. liobbie's housework and raising' little RoachesU kee Js her ?'S pretty busy. Richard Poindexter and wife, Nancy, now have a funeral estab- lishment in Odon. Mr. Poindexterls partner in the business is his old classmate, Richard Streepy. Streepy is the embalmer. Rose VVilliams is now in South Dakotag she is a psychiatrist and owner of the Parkaway motel. Among many other prominent people, she has looked into the brain of the President of the United y c . . States loan Correll is now in Colorado, living on a dude ranch. She raises saddle horses. Her hobby is raising white mice for atomic re- search. Donald Ellis now has a printing establishment all his owng he is also half owner of the Qdon Journal. I-Ie has been asked several times to go to congress to be a government printer of speeches for con- gressmen. Norman Sims is owner of the famous 'ISims Modeling Salonw in New York. He is pretty well satished now because he has Mary Alice Carpenter as his number one model. pNancy Courtney is a bimokkeeper for the F. B. I.. in Vvasliington, U. C. She has been selected Miss Flil of the year. llill Seneff, after graduating from Rose Poly, is a math teacher in good old Udon high. He collects bugs as a hobby and is said to be ill1lfCHl'illQIQ'f'H. 'EI-Ili-QIQQNIAN Albert Callahan, believe it or not, linally graduated from Ohio State and is a very prominent veterinarian in Middletown, Qhio. Almeda Brummett is still a farm girl. She and her husband, Mr. Ivis Myers. are now living on a large farm south of Qdon. Charles Bunch, M. D., is the bachelor of our class, but he is do- ing rather well for himself. He has his office in the Qdon Clinic and has as his nurse, none other than our very good friend, Joy Overton. Almeda Byrer, after trying secretary work for quite some time, has finally settled down to working' in one of Odon's large nurseries raising all kinds of pine trees. h 2-s 1 Jim Malone is owner of a large farm south of Plainville, and is starting to drill the third oil well on his farm. John Dee York can be found in Gary, Indiana, working as an arc welder in the steel mills. John says there's only one thing he can't weld, his wife's opinions. Lewis Arthur is working at the International Harvester as a farm machinery demonstrator. He was voted top plow salesman of the United States and won a trip abroad as a prize. Vonda Beasley finally got herself a job. She is back in Macomb, Illinois, working as a bookkeeper in her brother-in-laW's garage. She was selected as Miss Grease Monkey of the yearn by her co-workers. Hilda Aishe, after working at Crane for several years, has de- cided to return to school and complete her education. She is a student at Indiana University. She is majoring in dress designing. Leroy Tarvin can't make enough money on one job so he has two. He works as a mechanical engineer in the day and is on the Odon police force at night. He just caught his lirst crook, who had robbed the Odon Hank of over a million dollars. Doris Allison, after graduating with high honors at Indiana University where she got her Ph. D. degree, is now playing as star pianist with a large symphony orchestra. They recently opened a two weeks performance in New York. Way down at the bottom of the page it said Last, but not least our very good friend and sponsor, Kenneth Hugo Jensen, better known to all as Nip is now retired and has a large estate some- where in the middlewest. So this is where the class of HSI is now. We haven't done badly for ourselves, have we? After reading this Prophecy several times I put the paper back in the box and walked on down the street deep in thought of the class of 5l .

Lucille Foster, Floyd Harper and Albert Sims dropped out during the first semester. The remaining thirty-six students have worked hard at earning money both for the banquet and prom, and for a gift to the school. The class of '52 have the satisfaction of seeing their name on one of the glass bank boards in the new gym, the gift they made to the school while juniors, instead of waiting until they are Seniors. For the annual school carnival the Juniors won the king-queen contest, They earned their money by a magic show and a food sale before the carnival, and by a variety show, a faculty graveyard, and the sale of cokes the night of the carnival. Delores Resler and Jerry Neiswanger were crowned in an elaborate ceremony. Some of the Juniors and their guests enjoyed a skating party at Bicknell during the first semester.

His size and determination made him a valuable asset to this year's squad. He will be missed next year as his pivot shot made him a constant source of worry to opposing guards. IVES PRUETT, Junior Center and Co-Captain of the team. Although this was Pruettis first year to play varsity basketball, he early stamped himself as a man to be watched. His ability under the basket and rebounding work make us glad that he will be back again next year. JERRY NEISVVANGER, Junior Forward. Jerry was a good shot. who worked on tip-ins, and led the Bulldogs in scoring. This was Jerry's second year on the varsity and he has still another year to play. RICHARD SMILEY. Junior Guard. Dick started slowly but soon developed into one of our best guards. His good ball handling and drives under the basket soon won him a first team position. He has another year to play. IIOII IIOYIJ, Sophomore Guard. The long shot artist of the team, he also was a good fighter who came up from the second team. Ilob was a good rebounder, and will probably improve greatly dur- ing the next two seasons. JUNIOR COOK. Freshman Center. Junior was the big boy of the squad and learned to use his height to cause trouble for his guards. This was Cook's first year to play high school ball and much is expected from him during the next three years. BRUCE MILLER, Sophomore Guard. Bruce showed a lot of speed this year. Ilruce was very good on long shots, and we will probably see a lot of him m the next two years. JIM ADAMS. Sophomore Forward, is noted for his under- basket shots. Although he hasnit seen much action this year, he will be in there next year to fight for the Bulldogs. JACK BYRER, Junior Guard, was very fast and good on long two-handed shots. Jack was out for some time this year, but he al- ways came back at the right times. We look forward to seeing him in action next year. BUS FRANKLIN, Sophomore Guard, hasn't seen much action this year, but seemed always to be there when needed. We hope to see more of him next year. ALBERT CALLAHAN. Student Manager, has been a great help to all the boys. He is well liked and has held this position for a year and a half. Albert is a Senior this year. and we are sorry to lose him. MAX SINCLAIR. Student Manager, has been a very willing worker. This is his first year as manager, and he will likely hold the position next year. THE ODGNIAN 9 E C-' 3 FD E. 0 W' 'J' O CJ U: ID UU O Cr' H CD Z 2.

This past summer found the band very busy filling engagements, and to keep up such a schedule, it was necessary for the students to devote a great deal of time to rehearsals. June 9 the band played at Plainville at the Horse Show. The week of June 19 proved to be a red letter period for the band. They took their first long trip to Fort Wayne as guests of the Y. F. XV. in their state convention. The climax of this occasion for the band was the winning of the V. F. VV. trophy for the best march- ing band. NVere we happy! On August 6, the band was in the American Legion Parade at Jasonville, as the guest of the Seventh District Legion Committee. August 7 the band journeyed to Paoli to head the parade in their Centennial celebration exercises. August 17, 18, 19, the band played tive concerts and gave one marching demonstration at the Qld Settlers Picnic. The Veterans of Foreign Vvars took the band to Chicago the week of August 21 to participate in the V. F. W. National Conven- tion parade. This was the largest parade in which the band had ever appeared. There were one hundred musical organizations in the parade and Ddon was one of the three bands rating their pictures in the Chicago papers. This will always be remembered by the students. September 6 and 7 found the band parading at the Indiana State Fair. Dn September 6 the band just missed second place award in the High School Day State Fair Marching Contest by one point. Dn September 7 the band was awarded the tirst place in the Farmer's Day, Indiana State Marching Contest. The band was again invited, for the second year, to appear on the opening day of Monroe County Fall Festival on September 15, at Ellettsville. Un October 17, the band appeared in Washiiigtoii at a political meeting. The annual Hallowelen activities were held on Dctober 51, on the streets of Odon with the band providing part of the entertain- ment. For the past two years the band has appeared at different Col- leges and universities to put on half time band shows. Invitations were extended again this year, but on account of schedule, it was de-N THE QDQNIAN - cided to attend only one this fall which was held at Indiana Uni- versity on November 18. This was the first appearance of our band at Indiana. It should be noted that the band marching down the basketball floor, led by three prancing majorettes, has provided the main inter- est at half-time for our basketball fans. From the stirring march- time music of the band, the intricate baton twirling of the major- ettes, and the ingenious formation of the band members, the basket- ball crowds have derived added entertainment and enthusiasm for high school sports. Odon high school is well known for the special interest it as- sumes in students who are musically talented. Realizing that each and every one of the students has a few whistling and rhythmic foot- tapping tendencies, the school wishes to develop these abilities to the fullest extent, and at the same time to give the less musically in- clined the benefit of listening pleasure. Wlith this in mind, the music department caters to the musical aptitude of the students, by pro- viding training in vocal work under the direction of lVliss Shirley Tredup and band work under Mr. Raymond Blair. Iiach year the band and choir enter several contests and always manage to rank high in district and state contests. Also in musical competition, many of Udon's students capture firsts and seconds for their vocal and instrumental solos and ensembles in state compe- tltlon. There were five first division winners in the state solo and en- semble contest this year. Tliey are as follow: Barbara Doolin--Tenor Saxophone Solo. Bob Boyd-BBflat Bass Solo. Nancy Stickles-Student Conduction of Band. Karen Abrell-Soprano Solo tvocalj. Brass Sextet-Hilda Aishe, Charles Bunch, Bob Boyd, Shirley Guthrie, 'Toe Humerickhouse, and Sherman McClellan.

THE ODCJNIAN YELL LEADERS Delores Resler, Nancy Sinclair, and Hilda Aishe We were very fortunate this season in making 'a good choice of cheer leaders. The girls were always working and doing all they could to make us proud of them. They kept our howling host at its best and made a very definite contribution to the success of the activities of the Student Booster Club. Delores and Nancy are Juniors and Hilda is a Senior. All of us have appreciated the line work which came about as a result of natural ability together with long hours of practice. VVe know that the yell leaders contributed their share toward making the Bulldogs a winning team this year. Down near Sumter, South Carolina, an energetic young sales- man recently spent an entire morning trying to sell old Josiah Crab- tree a motor bike. Amit no use arguing, young fellowf, he finally said. lf I had one, l might fall off and break my neck. Besides, l would rather put the money 1n a good milk cow. Hut think, persisted the youth, how silly yould look trying to ride a cow down to the village. Maybe so. Josiah admitted, but l would look a heap more toolish tryin' to milk one ot' your motor bikes. ODONIAN GRUMBLER After having attended Odon High School for twelve years, we, the Seniors of 1951, wish to take this opportunity to blow our top, so to speak. We have had to sit in hard wooden chairsg we think that it is about time for the school to buy rocking chairs upholstered in plush, and we should have at least three periods a day to sing, dance, and watch a six foot television that should be installed infront of the assembly. Also we think juke boxes should be stalled in all school usses. The English requirement of three years should be lowered to three minutes a day with a different teacher each day. ' Wie, the Seniors, think that all teachers should address us as Miss or Mr.: also all Seniors should have the privilege of getting up and walking out of boring classes-such as English. Mrs. Pate should be required to invite the Seniors to her house at least once a week to watch television instead of telling us about it in class every day. The Seniors should be given an answer book to all of their sub- jects so there would be no taxing of our mental capacity. Another thing that the senior class feels that it should voice its sentiments against is the buying of text books. For twelve years we have paid out perfectly good cash for books. Why could we not dispense with this practice in our senior year? We have learned from good sources that teachers who teach only textbooks are not rated very high so we believe that teachers would be glad to furnish their own material. Perhaps the best point in the whole idea, how- ever, is that although we buy the books we never have them when we get to class because we lose them or somebody steals them or what is worse, somebody hides them. Besides when we appear in class without our books, the teacher gets angry, thereby causing grey hair or even shortening her life. An innovation which we think would add very much to the dig- nity and happiness of the senior class would be a large mirror ex- tending the full front of a special classroom for seniors only. We believe that we are justified in asking for this for different reasons. ln the first place think how much it would add to our aesthetic sense to be able to gaze at beautiful youth tourselves if you pleasej rather than always to be confronted with gray hair. or no hair at all, sagging jaws. crow's feet, false teeth, not to mention the scowls and frowns of the ever present teacher. So far as we have been informed, school boards do not consider good looks and vouth important qualifica- tions of teachers when they hire them. thlaybe they shouldj In the second place a mirror in the front of the room would save our time and energy in case we wanted to gaze lovingly at a certain THE GDQNIAN heart throb. Even a sly wink could be more easily carried on without the teacher worrying about it and without any turning around on our part. In this way we would save much needed energy and the teach- er's sweet disposition. VVe believe that a classroom of this kind would not only be an incentive for students to strive to become dig- nified seniors but also be a good reason for teachers to look forward to teaching seniors. Now that we have had our say about the school, we must at least say two good things about it: VVe think the new gymnasium is wonderful and we are glad that we are leaving high school!

A deacon in the local church was going to the city and agreed to purchase a new sign to be hung in front of the church. I-Ie lost the sheet of paper on which he had put the motto and dimensions, so he wired his wife: Send motto and dimensions.
