We wish to reaffirm the wish of the Class of '24, That all yearbooks published in the future shall have one or more views of the Limestone Industry as a frontpiecef' CLASS OF '48 3 Gm eaeecf We believe that the school of Oolitic is a good place for students. We believe in the kindness and sagacity of the teachers of Oolitic. We believe in ourselves as a -class, that in union, we have achieved successes not possible to pupils singly. We believe in ourselves as individuals: that ea-ch of us has contri- buted to the distinction of the classy that we are prepared to go out into life with eyes for its opportunities, with training for its work, with fear- lessness for its hardships. We trust in the goodness of the men and women we are about to take our places amongg we believe that they are groping upward, even as we: that we shall stumble and falter at times, even as they: and we will have charity toward all mankind, even as we would have all mankind deal charitably with us. We trust that the life which is to follow school will be generously worth our while: we believe that life disciplines wrong, inaction, and fri- volityg that it rewards rectitude, application, and earnestness. We believe that life is good, life is beautiful, life is purposeful, that the privilege to live is a gift from God: that we should return thanks by upright and fruitful living. We have faith for the days when our hair shall be white and our step slowg that they will hold only pure and beautiful memories of the past-. SENIORS '48 4 llElllL'H'llUlc 1 sc, To Mr. Allen, our friend and sponsor, we dedicate this edition of The Limestone as a token of our respect and gratitude for his guidance during the four years of our high school life. 5 AUVHKHISTHHTIUU Mr. Black was born in Knox County, Indiana, in 1911.

Seniafz 616.44 Jfiftllafuf On September 1, 1944, there entered into this t'Land of Learning seventy-six innocent Freshmen. We had but one ambi- tion, to graduate. Some found the path a hard one and decided to quit. They were: Charles Baker, Richard Banks, Billy Bugh, Ann Cami bell, Curtiss Cobb, Eugene Hearth, Jim Hubbard, Elmer Johnson, Betty Mason, Marvin No ris, John Perry, Dallas Quillen, Mary Raines, Elbert Reuter, Clifford Ryan, Bernard Spires, Rex Swango, Theresa Sykes, Helen Taylor, and Donald Tolliver. Our class officers for the year were, president, Wayne Spires, vice president, Frank Finger, secre- tary, Shirley Thompson, and treasurer, Ervin Parker. Mrs. Giles and Mr. Allen were our sponsors, and under their sponsorship we en- joyed many get-to-gethers. - With the coming of the next August, we received a new name. Because of our skill in acquiring the customs of the school, we were renamed Sophomores. When the roll was taken we found that we had five new stu- dents. They were Pauline Craig, Carl Feltner, Frieda Fox, Marilyn May, and Wilma Strau- ser. This year we elected as our sponsors. Mrs. Younger and Mr. Allen. For our class o ficers we elected as president, Ervin Par- ker, vice president, Patty Kirkman, secretary and treasurer, Reba Perry. That year the path grew harder, and more continued to fall by the wayside. They were: Phyllis Banks, Lois Boruff, Narvin Canada, Betty Chenault, Betty Grimes. Norma Hall, Herman Harris, Betty Inman, Norma Lavender, Dallas I.ee, Noi ma L'v ngston, Marjorie Pace, Frank Ry an, Maxine Ryan, Clifford Sears, Jerry Sego, Wayne Spires, Eva Stailey, and Fred Sullvan. We also lost Wilma Strauser to Sosterry Hgh Sclcool, and Jane and Re-ba Perry to Bedford High School. In the third year owing to eduC2Lfi0HHl customs, we be-came Juniors. This was our busy year, ordering class rings, selling COD' cessions at the ball games, practicing for the Junior play, and getting ready for the Jun- ior and Senior Banquetfl All these varied activities kept us quite busy and out of mis- chief, tat least half the timed We lost six students during the year. They were: Imo- gene Barringer, Juanita Chenault, Frieda Fox, Morris Manion, Eugene Strunk and Raymond Gilson. Mrs. Wagoner and Mr. Allen were our sponsors. Ervin Parker, presi- dent, Wilma Hensley, vice president, June Gilbert, secreiary, and Bonnie Allen, treas- urer, were our class officers. And now we come to the fourth and greatest year in the history of the class. We are now Seniors. With the receiving of this great title, we began to take ourselves more seriously than ever before Cespecially on ex- amination days.j On September 8, Donald Crane entered into the senior class from Bloomington High School. We immediately began to elect our sponsors and class officers We elected as our sponsors, Mrs. Wagoner, and Mr. Allen. For our class officers we elect- ed, Donald Crane, president, Wilma Hensley, v'ce president, Bonnie Allen, secretary, and Bill Waldon, treasurer. Under the leadership and guidance of our sponsors. Mrs. Wagoner, and Mr. Allen, we have successfully com- pleted this our last year of school, and now we face the hardest and greatest battle of 'ife the fufurc wthout the aid of teachers and classmates. Class Motto: We have sailed the river: the ocean lies before us. Class Colors: Blue and White Class Flower: American Beauty Rose Wafaewell la pawn Farewell, a long farewell to all our high school Greatness! This is the state of Seniors. Yesterday we were eager Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors Intrepidly climbing upward to Seniorship, The shining summit of school lifeg today We are sunning ourselves upon that peak superb, Bearing our blushing honors thick upon usg Tomorrow we shall be gone, jostled over The brow of the hill by the upward surge of Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen. covetous of our vantage. Gone and leaving but a shallow footprint That others' prints will soon obliterate: Gone and leaving but a modicum Of all our greatness to mark our hour On the hilltopg gone and soon forgotten In this place of changing names. fe This! Is the state of Seniors. Do not pity us. When we regain our feet on the lifeward slope, A sight incomparable will meet our eyes- Range after range of mountains, towering, sublime, To journey toward and climb to other greatness, More lasting greatness, for these heights are life. Struggling upward to Seniorship, the dazzle Of the little hilltop blinded our eyes To life's great mountain tops, a thousand times More splendid, but tomorrow is to show Their glories up. And so farewell, a long Farewell to all our high school greatness and all Our days in Oolitic Higsh School! But not To any a long farewell-we will join you On the distant mountain sides. 16 Glauwl We, the Senior Class of the High School of Oolitic, of the County of Lawrence, and the State of Indiana, being indisy utably of sound and disposing mind and memory and about to pass out of exis- tence, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills by us at ary time heretofore made: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructr rs in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions diffifult to manage, but they have all done their duty. and verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward. We also give to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time from our various examination papers. To them, too, we leave memories. Memories, that in days to come will soften and grow mellow, and finally serve only as amusing tales to brighten the problems of future senior classes with fewer headaches and greater optimism. To our successors, the Junior Class, we leave our prestige, our dignity and our seats in the senior class row.. In addition we bequeath to them the joy and zest of competing for class honors, a taste of sorrow for those who don't quite make the grade, and quiet pride for those who do. For the sophomores alas we have nothing to offer that would seem of value to them. What could we give theme-the class that has everything: brains. beauty. and an inexhaustible supply of self- esteem? At the moment they are enioying that most enviable of all sensations, the assurance that the world is their apple. and a nice rosy apple at that. All we can give them is our sincere hope that they can stand up under the shock when they discover, as they will, that even the most tempting-looking ap- ple can conceal a worm in its core. To the freshmen. bless their hearts. we bequeath all our dreams that never came true, our ambitions that we never quite achieved, and our once shining belief in the essential rightness of all things. We leave them tl'e unequalled ,ioy of giggling at noth- ing: the pains and pleasures of puppy love, which they will be ver-y sure is not puppy love, and the thrill of discovering unsuspected talents Within themselves. To our teachers, to the underclassmen, and to the future students, to all those who share and will share the love we feel for Oolitic High School, W9 leave our blessing and our solemn pledge Of un' wavering loyalty. Our individual wills to students of Oolitic High are as follows: William D.

Bonnie fAllenl Bridges wills her position SS secretary to some deserving Junior boy. With her ability and love for shorthand he should make a good one.

Raymond Deckard wills his three-year-old note book, with all its horrible pictures and gruesome characters to Bus Ramsey. Ivan Duncan wills his mathematics ability to Gayle Graves. Together they should take the national trophy. Rub-y East wills her glasses to Hilda Miller, and her quiet ways to Alice Mae Bennett, Who is in desperate need of them. Carl Feltner wills his curly black hair to Bennie Ritchison, and his sweet and pleasant manners to Dale Robinson. Frank Finger wills his ability to get kicked out of schol and his place in the heart of each member of the faculty to Eddie Sproles. Charles George wills his fanatic interest in all his studies to Clovis Strunk. June Gilbert wills to all the belles of the school her formulae for holding her man. May they be just as fortunate.. Norma Hensley wills her ability to tap dance to Barbara Scott, and her friendly smile to Louise Spires. Wilma Hensley wills her personality to Peggy Elliott, and her ability to articulate and gesticulate to next year's cheerleaders. John Hert wills one penny to each freshman to bp used as the basis of their future business estab- lishment, and the rest of his money to the school treasury. 17 Florence Holmes wills her blue eyes to Maxine Gilbert and her weight to Darrell.

Jane Moore wills her short walk to school to Laverne Cobb, who is badly in need of some such legacy. Opal fMorrisonJ Ryan wills her place in the band to Oneda Randolph, and her Government book to Mr Allen. As you know Mr Allen's book is well worn from much use, and for some reason Opal's book still has that new look. Ervin Parker wills his superb intellect to Margie Gonce and his popularity with the freshmen girls to Big Boy Jones . Vivian Shipwash wills her Bookkeeping book to anyone who thinks they are intelligent enough to get Bookkeeping. Peggy Sowders wills her love for basketball games to Barbara Armstrong and her Bedford ad- mirer to Barbara Davis.

Shirley Thompson wills her sweetness to Roberta Kern, and her smile to reappear next year on the face of Martha Neeley. , Bill Waldon wills his 991.9921 foul shooting average to Russell Bell, with the hope that Russell can increase it to 99.999722 Marvin Weddle wills his tale-nts for drawing to Valetta Beal. The faculty hopes she chooses flowers, birds, and bees as subjects and lets their well- known features rest in peace. The Senior Class as a whole bequeaths its re- spected name to the Junior Class. We make, constitute and appoint our beloved sponsors, Mrs. Wagoner and Mr. Allen, to be execu- trix an-d executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we have hereunto sub- scribed our names and affixed our seal, this the nineteenth day of April, A. D. 1948. The Seniors of Oolitic High School Seniaa 61644 paopfzecq W shing to know all the possibilities and the probabilities of the future experi- ences in s'ore for the class of '48, we decided to invest some of our class funds in a new machine just on the market. This machine is occult and mysterious. It gives wonderful power to the eyes and enables one to plainly see the th'ng.s that are going to happen in the future. By a simple turn of a knob it popcls the oreralor twenty-five years into the future. Bonnie Allen, is now living in Snobville, Indiana. She moved there two years after graduation from Oolitic High School. She and her husband celebrated their 25th Wed- ding Anniversary June 29, 1972.

This class immediately undertook the election of the officers and chose Bob Deckard for president, Jack Arm- strong, vice president: La Verne Cobb, secre- tary and treas. They were guided through this first year by Mrs. Eva Howard and Mr. Arthur Crider, their sponsors. During the year, eleven members dropped out of school. The second year began on August 29, 1946 with fifty-two sophomores reporting for cla.sses with Mr. Black as their new principal. Class sponsors for this year were Mrs. Marie Chambers and Mr. Bill Luse. Class officers were: President, Ward Brafford, vice presi- dentg Bus Hutton, treasurer, Jack Arm- strong. Again they lost eleven members for different reasons. On August 29, 1947, they enrolled as Juniors, and after taking an official count, found that they had forty-two members with full junior rating. During the year June Staggs, Jean Graves, and Ward Brafford dropped out of school. The Juniors were really busy this year especially during the first semester. Soon after the class was organized and sponsors chosen, class rings were chosen and a maga- zine campaign launched. Janet George, Jeanne Graves, Laverne Cobb, and Wendell Nikirk received certificates recognizing un- usual salesmanship. A successful Fun Fest was sponsored by the class as part of the Halloween activities. Besides the class play, some Juniors have been busy selling refresh- ments during the home games. Class rings were delivered during the first semester, and one class party was enjoyed. Mrs. Dorothy Duncan and Mrs. Gladys Patton were chosen for their -class sponsors.

Q7 Sapfnamaae elau Jfbillafuf The sophomore class began the first sem- ester of their Work on August 29 with an en- rollment of forty-one members. During the year three members decided to quit our hall of learning and find out what life outside of school is like. These members were Pruda Bennett, Chet Andis, and Charles Poore. On Thursday evening, October 30, the class held a party in the gymnasium. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with orange and black in keeping with the season. refreshments of candy, do-nuts, apples, and cider were served to a very hungry group. The sophomore class is proud of the six members that they have on the team. These members are: Jack Armstrong, Jim Baker, Dick Hatfield, Doyle Jones, Gwen Wagner, and Robert Eagens. In the early part of the school year the class met for the purpose of organization. They chose Mrs. Chambers and Mr. Fell for their sponsors.

Q9 Qaaifuuan Glam Jlmivuf On August 29, 1947, there entered into Oolitic High School a group of students who were unusually alert and precocious and who were determined that their names would go down in history.

Their 'class is well represented on the baskebatll team with the following boys par- ticipating: Dale Robinson, Dale Jones, Carl Silvers, Leroy Cummings, Bus Ramsey, George Johnson, Howard Canada, Gene Lee, Norman Blackwell, Ed Sproles, and James Speer. On October 17 the class enjoyed a gay party in the gymnasium. The evening was spent in playing games and singing. Refresh- ments of pop and candy bars were served to the group. During the year, eight members left school for various reasons. They were Andy Delphia, Ben Grimes, Eugene Hearth, Jimmie Mascato, Betty Sears, Verla Adams, and Kathryn Fox. New students entering the class were Boyd Bolton from Frankton, Joe Lintzyfrom Needmore, and Glen Richards from Bedford.

THE BEARCATS IN TRAINING Training and practicing are two very essential' necessities in basketball. Under the coaching of Mr. Fell, the team has bene- fitteid greatly from this period of strike training. Strong bodies, steady nerves, endurance, sportsmanship, cooperation, and many other good qualities come from the athletic department. The three members who graduate this year include Claude Byers, Bill Wal- don, and Don Lee. Five members, Buster Hutton, Jack Armstrong, Russell Bell, Bennie Ritchison, and Wendell Nikirk represent the junior class, whilt Dale Jones, Leroy Cummings., Buster Ramsey, and Carl Silvers are all members of the freshman class.

The Oolitic Junior High School Basket- ball Team began its 1947-48 School Year with only two players that had taken part in any games with other schools before this year. Mr. Fell, our coach, selected a group 0 boys and from the group trained a team into a fast, swift passing, and determined group of players. The schedule was arranged so that the boys would have keen competition. We felt that it was much better to lose to a wo 'hy opponent than to win a victory that was too easy. he record that our boys made was something of which we are very proud.

'ihe Lawrence County 'Rheum' Lealei s Conference which was held in tne O :litic School, was a great success du- tu GUR STUDENT MANAGER To Henry, the genial, good-natured stu- dent manager of the Bearcat Team, is due a great deal of credit for the neat appearance of the team. Being student manager of a team is not at all an easy task, but Henry takes his job seriously and can think of nothing that he would rather do than to manage the Bearcat team. This year completes his third year as student manager. On Saturday, January 17, our three yell leaders fWilma Hensley, Sue Day, and Janet Georgej attended a state-wide yell leaders conference, which Was sponsored by Indiana University. Ninety schools were represented at this conference which was the first of its kind to be held in the United States A pho tographer from the Indianapolis Star took several pictures of the delegates. The students were divided into four groups. Each group was under the supervi sion of two yell leaders from Indiana Uni versity.

Bicorolin iff-b, 28 ' li no Pom:--48 mdafaeaddfp On Tuesday night, December 9 the Jun- ior Class presented the play Desperate Ambrose before a large audience. The story of the play centered around Dead Man's Gulch, a tough place in the wild and Wooly West. It all started when Ambrose Groves and Bert Miller, a couple of would-be vaude- ville cionedians, were crossing the desert, headed California way. Right out in the mif'd'e of tice desert, they were booted off the train and onto their own, because someone had picked their pocketsgthe pockets where their tickets and all their money was. So picking themselves up, they started trudging across the desert,and in a couple of days they blew into Dead Man's Gulch, the wildest, the woolliest, the roughest spot in the whole West where everybody fought everybody else, and blood flowed like Old Faithful. It so happened that Homer, the Kid, and his pal, Gun Smoke Carter, the two most hard-shootin', hard-ridin' cow-pokes what ever straddled a saddle, were expected to mf breeze into town at any moment, to quell the shootinl So when Ambrose and Bert hob- bled in, they were mistaken for the West's most fearless cowpuncher's, and ooooh, what happened to themlAmbroSe was taken for the hero, Homer the Kid, and from there on out, it was a knockdown on the stage, and a drag- out of laughs from the audience, because bungling Ambrose wound up doing everything opposite from what the cowpunchers' union called for. He got everything in a terrible state. He didn't get the goods on the crooked sheriffg he was completely beaten and soundly trounced by Hoot Owl Pete: and he was prac- tically hanged by Stinkweed. He didn't get the heroine, Nancy, either. But he did get things in the most devastating messes. He made this the funniest rodeo of fun you've ever witnessed. Eight members of the class, dressed as Westerners of the 1890's introduced the play by an honest - to - goodness old - fashioned square dance.

The synopsis of the play is as follows: Virginia Tallinan, nicknamed VVild Ginger, is the daughter of Old Jake Tallman whose home is in Squattenown, a suburb of Greenboro. Virginia is a lovable, heart- hungry girl who faces a problem which almost. breaks her heart. In infancy she had been deserted by her mother because of the father's miserly habits, Jake, however, has always believed that his Wife had left with his rich neighbor, Mr. Freeman, father of young Geoffrey Freeman. Through the help of Miss Lee and Miss Stanley, health nurse, Ginger attempts to improve her en- vironment and finally enters a swimming contest which she wins and eventually leaves Squattertown to further her education. After a period of time she returns highly educated and has been crowned the most beautful girl in America. Finally realizing that he may lose Ginger as he had lost Rachel, Old Jake makes a complete change in his life and eventually takes over the estate of his rich neighbor, Sanford Lakey, father of young Mar, wood and his naughty sister, Bonita. The story has a good ending, for after his re- formation, Jake finds his wife, who has been mas- qerading as Miss Rachel Lee.
