Not knowing . as much as the upper classmen thought we should, we received the name Green Freshmen . The class officer for the Freshman year were: President ---------------- Ted Reinhart Vice-President ------------ Richard Shoaff Sec. 8: Treas. --------------- Bonnie Bebout Sponsor -------------------- Mr. Coppess Two parties were held during this year. One out in the open at Bonnie Behout's home. Everyone enjoyed this party, so we had another party the last semester at the school house. Games were played on the gym floor and the refreshment vanished' during lunch time in the dining hall. We returned, in 1944, to take the place of the former Silly Sophomores Qbut we werent going to be sillyj. Some having dropped, along the way, the roll call list had de- ceased to twenty- six students. The Sophomore Class offices were captured by the mas- culine sex this year. They were: i President ------------------- Floyd Suman VicevPresident -------------- Clyde Daniels Sec. 8: Treas. ---------------- Raymond Ehrsam Sponsor ---------------------- Mrs. Andrews E Only one party was held during the entire school year. It was at the home of Rose Merriman, with the high school being pretty well represented. The games gave eachlone an appetite, so the students just ate and ate and ate: finally no food. Twenty-one jolly juniors returned again, to books and desks, in September, 1945, with a strong determination to learn something fperiodl. The girls returned to some responsibility as junior Class officers this year. Here are the ones we elected. President -------------- I ----- Margaret Parr Vice-President -------------- Richard Shoaff Sec. 8: Treas. ---------------- Betty Sipe Sponsor --------------------- Mrs. Andrews There was a party held again this year. The students liking the vastness of our gym- floor, it was held at the school house. Our activities didn't stop there. In raising funds for jour Junior-Senior th-ip, we sold subscription to magazines and pop, candy, pop-corn at home basketball games. The Juniors and Seniors enjoyed a train trip to Buffalo, blew Yor-k. There we went sight-seeing, then to Niagara Falls and across the bridge to Canada. -Our Junior Class was well represented on the basketball team with Ned Ray, Bob Johnson, Bob Riley, Ray Ebrsam, and Junior White, and Catherine Lugin- bill as one of the regular yell leaders. '- Nineteen entered as Dignified Seniors Qyou have to give us credit for trying, in our .final year of high school readin', ritin', and rithmetic. Our Christmas party was held at Margaret -Parr's home. In addition to our games and refreshments we enjoyed an exchange of Christmas gifts. We produced a successful class play, Snnbonnet jane o: Sycamore Lane . The Senior Class elected for the last time the following class officers: President ----------------- junior White Vice-President -------------- Richard Shoaf Sec. 8: Treas. --------------- jean Marie Everett Sponsor ----------- ----- 1 vlr . Foley Richard Shoaff, evidently mane a good class vice-president, capturing three years out of four. Had you noticed?

Ten long years since my high school grad- uation and I succeeded in finding everyone of my classmates. To keep in mind the en- enjoyable time had, it may be a good idea to set it down in writing. I may even mimeo- graph it and send it to the members of the class of '47 . Anyway here is a full account of the trip. I left Indianapolis, Indiana, on the Pennsylvania Flash and headed forPleasant Mills, Indiana. I had no more than settled myself in my seat and started reading a news- paper, when the conductor came through the coach calling, Tickets, tickets, have your tickets ready ! The conductor stopped at my seat and acted rather disgusted because I couldn't find my ticket. Looking at him, I discovered it was jim Tumbleson one of my old schoolmates. He stopped long enough to chat a few minutes with me. The only in- formation I obtained from him was that junior White was coach at Pleasant Mills High School and that Leonard Fox was a scientific farmer in Blue Creek Township. He didn't seem to know anything about the ladies of the class, as he was always a woman-hater. jim, having to finish his routing job went on his way and I returned to my newspaper. The main news issue was, Who is going to be our next President? Mr. Clyde Daniels, a Harvard graduate, seemed to be the nation's choice. Good Picking? Pulling into the Pleasant Mills Terminal, I saw a great crowd of people, all seem- ingly in a hurry going here and there. I immediately went into a telephone booth and phoned Coach White. He said he would drive to the terminal and pick me up, so our conversation stopped until then. We arrived at his beautiful home fteacher's pay hav- ing been raised, and enjoyed a delicious meal. He was a very happy man as his team had just beaten the jasper Wildcats the evening before. Junior later drove me to Leonard Fox's great scientific farm. Mr. and Mrs. Fox met us at the gate. Leonard was a very noted farmer for such a young man. Leonard and his wifebeing very proud, showed us some of his experiments. Returning to Pleasant Mills, I decided to go to the grocery store. The store was very crowded but I managed to meet Catherine Luginbill. The preacher had changed her name to Mrs. Clarence Hamrick. Every two minutes her triplets, jean, jane, and joe, age four years, kept interrupting our conversation with Mommie we want some candy. They kept this up for some time and finally Kate's patience became exhausted and she ordered Clarence to take the triplets out in the car and keep them till she got her shop- ping done. Kate g'ave me some valuable information. She said the former Margaret Parr was the pianist in Phil Spitalni's All-Girl Orchestra and that she is married and living on a farm. The -All-Girl Orchestra was making an appearance at the Chicago Theatre, Chicago, Illinois, the following evening. Being very anxious to see this appear- ance, I returned to junior's house, got my luggage and he drove me to the Pleasant Mills Airport to catch a plane for Chicago. The pilot for the journey was none other then Warren Wendell Wolfe. This amazed me, he being a pilot. I always thought he was a land-lover. Warren is married and the father of two children. He told me Robert johnson had purchased Mr. Foley's tomato plant at Preble, Indiana. I remembered that Bob was always fond of growing tomatoes. Who do you think married this woman charmer? Why that cute, little, blonde--Betty Sipe. As my time was limited it was impossible to see Mr. and Mrs. Robert johnson. The plane route was Ft. Wayne-Detroit-Lansing-Chicago. I was very fortunate to find a vacant seat beside me. At the first stop many passengers got off but very few came aboard. We took off into the blue again. I must have dozed because I remember nothing until I was awakened by the noise of people at Lansing. Many people came a- board to go to Chicago for a shopping tour and among them Enid Ripley. Enid sat in the seat next to me. We had many things to talk about as I had never had heard whether she had gone to College or had gotten married. The answer was that she was married to Mr David Roberts after completing two years of college. They are the proud parents of a -1 u -n-:gi Y- 5 V'f A ,wi 9.4 in , i 'S , P' ,Fir 9 We-, I l kqbfktw 9? qs, ,-. :.!rvv'- Aa .4 'tl :I - fi! , 1-I J' L.-' 4., 5 I ':-'Rfk lf W Q 4 gg- B TTL' ,ii in Q, I I r - K A I .3-uh 4 is .. 1 lb ' J '- -m Qu..

Dave is the coach of the Michigan University football team. Enid said she didn't have any work to do as they had a maid and a servant to do all the work. I was very glad to hear that Enid was also going to the Phil Spitalni performance that evening. In no time at all, it seemed, we were walking out of the Chicago Municipal Airport. We hailed a taxi and he drove us to Margaret's apartment, Enid knowing her address. Meeting 115 at the door Margaret was thrilled to see us. She was just in the process of being beautified by jean Manley, her private beautician. We talked to Margaret only a short time as she had to rest for her performance that evening. jean related a little of Margaret's and her recent life to us. Margaret was married to a dairytman living in a cute bungalow on a large dairy farm. Jean was married and her husband was in the occupational army in japan. She was very thrilled because she was joining him in a month. It had been two years since she had seen her soldier husband. After the performance, Enid returned to Lansing and I took another plane to Miami Beach, Florida. Margaret had told me that Lawrence Brodbeck was an orchestra leader and stated that he was appearing in Miami Beach for the summer. In a few hours I arrived in Miami Beach and went directly to the exclusive Night Club. As I entered, I noticed the lights had been lowered and soft music was playing. I settled down for an enjoyable even- ing of music by Lawrence Brodbeck and his orchestra. After the main performance, a group seemed to be assembling around a table of four people. The people seemed to be congratulating the two men about something. Being curious, I walked by the table pretending to be on business, and who should I see but Earl Geyer and Calvin Bauman seated at the table.. Before I could congratulate them, I had to ask them what they were being congratulated for. They laughed and said they had just been accepted to the bar as Lnited States Lawyers. Earl said he was happily married, father of a five year old boy, and living in a modern home. Calvin was engaged to an at- tractive girl. He said he had put off marriage until he had finished law school and estab- lished a practice. I stayed at the Biltmore Plaza Hotel in Miama Beach over night and left early the next morning for Topeka, Kansas, after a refreshing sleep. I had not planned to stay in Topeka, but because of stormy weather we were held over for a few hours. I bought an edition of the Topeka Herald to pass away my time and in head lines I read, Indiana Doctor Made Famous! Since I was from Indiana I read further to see if it was anyone I knew. To my surprise it was, Raymond Ehrsam, a senior of 47. I decided to look him up so I took a taxi to his exclusive uptown office. I was greeted at the desk by the nurse receptionist. After telling her that I had graduated with Ray she said he would take time out to talk to me. I wondered why she would know so much about his affairs but after talking to Ray I found out that she was his wife. They suggested we go to the Ritz to dine and later to a movie. Raymond said the movies would indeed be a surprise for me. I especially noticed the movie lights, but the names gave me no clue to the surprise. First was the comedy, then the news, and finally the main featureg then I could hardly believe my eyes. There on the screen was Norma jean Archer. My eyes nearly popped out of my head. It was indeed a surprise and also a star performance on Norma jean's part. I thought it would be almost impossible to see Norma if I went to Hollywood, because she was so famous and popu1ar'since she is an excellent actress. Raymond told me Ned Ray was still a horse lover as usual. Dr. Ehrsam gave me the location of his ranch. After the storm had calmed so our plane could have a safe journey, we ascended again into the clouds. In a snap of the finger, we'had landed in Denver, Colorado. There seem- ed to be a convention or the like being held in the city. I asked a police man what it was all aboutg he informed me there was to be a large Rodeo in Denver at the Coliseum. A Rodeo was something new for me even though I had seen cowboys and horses. I purchased a ticket, and wandered into the Coliseum. The first one in the ring was Ned Ray.

I got in touch with him after the show and he was really surprised to see me. He said he hadn't thought I would be interested in rodeos. I explained that I was looking up the old senior class of 4-7 and was surprised to hear that he thought he could help me. I happened to mention that I didn't know where Berneice King was and he said, Berneice, why she owns a large cattle ranch in Wyoming . After saying goodbye to Ned I started on my way to Wyoming. I came to a stop in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I inquired at the airport concerning Berneice's ranch. A young pilot standing nearby replied, Yes, I know Berneice real well. He offered to fly me to her ranch in his private plane, so I accepted. When we arrived at the ranch, Berneice was so dumbfounded at first she couldn't speak. She invited the pilot and I to stay for supper but the pilot said he had to get back. Berneice had a lovely western house, but hadn't found a cowboy yet to suit her. I stay- ed at Berneice's all night but didn't get much sleep because we had a lot to talk about. It had been several years since she had been to Indiana but insisted that she would never get home sick for the Hoosier State. t Berneice informed me that Robert Riley owned a large restaurant and night club in San Francisco, California, and was really making good. This sounded interesting so I bid Berneice adieu and hurried to California. Bob owned the restaurant, The Hub, on the main A'Drag. I entered, sat down at a table, and waited patiently u.ntil a waiter came. It was noon and the restaurant was full of people. A waiter finally came and when I asked to see the proprietor, he frowned and said, Mr. Riley is too busy to talk to anyone. I happened to have some of my calling cards with me so I asked the waiter to take one to Bob. Pretty soon Bob came hurrying out of his office and over to my table. He acted as if he had never been so glad to see anyone. He sat down and we ate our lunch together. From our conversation I gathered that he was progressing very nicely. While eating he mentioned that Dick Shoaff was vacationing in San Francisco and would be in for his lunch in a short time. That sure was a coincidence: after traveling across the United States, to run into an old classmate on vacation. Dick spotted us when he walked into the room. We were just eating our dessert but I said that I have never gotten around to going on a diet, so we ordered additional food and ate with Dick. The food was really delicious and Bob seemed very proud of the fact. Dick told me he was an engineer on the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe. He claimed there was nothing better than the streamline diesel engine. This brought to a close my visit with my classmates of 1947 with one exception. I was sorry to start home, but I had one more stop to make, at Indiana University, Bloom- ington, Indiana. The plane ride being a short one, I soon landed at the Indianapolis Transcontinental Airline'Airport. I went from Indianapolis to Bloomington in my car, which I had left at the capitol city. I was directed to where the professors had their offices, and knocked on a door label- ed jean Marie Everett. jean Marie was very glad to see me but said she would have to meet me later, because whe had a math class in ten minutes. During her class period, I wandered about the campus. I met her after class and we had a very nice chat. No, jean Marie hasn't married yet, but she said, I still have hopes for a husband. That about su.ms up my vacation. I am so sleepy and tired, I'll be surprised if you can understand what I was trying to relate to you. Was it worth my trying? Now please let me go to bed and go to sleep, please ll! Good Night All !

They named this little girl Norma jean. She was the fourth child in the family. Norma Jean has spent all twelve of her school years at Pleasant Mills. She is grown up now and is a dignified senior with blue eyes and blond hair. Her best chums are Betty Sipe and Norma Hamrick. She is also very well liked by a boy in Ohio. Norma's nick- name is Neanie , and she has hobbies of writing letters and attending basketball games. Norma's favorite studies, when she studies, are typing and bookkeeping. She took part in the Senior Class Play, Sunbonnet Jane playing the part of Nola Miller which she played very well. Her favorite sports are taking in the movies and roller skating with a senior boy called Brownie. She has an ambition to work at Newberrys five and ten store, and she also wants to become a beauty operator. N. I... R. CALVIN BAUMAN On january 6, 1928, twin boys were born to Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Bauman in Monroe Township. They were named Amos and Calvin. Cal is the nickname that naturally stuck with Calvin. Cal made the rounds of schools in the area. At one time or another he was enroll- ed at the North Ward, South Ward, Lincoln, Dent, Bobo, and finally the Pleasant Mills High School. His favorite subject was English. He did not finish high school but joined the Navy at the end of the Sophomore year and will get his credits and diploma for work done during his period of service. Cal trained at Sampson, New York, and then served in the Pacific aboard the U. S. S Cross. He enjoys sports, especially softball and spends some of his spare time playing pool. He is well liked by everyone, has no particular ambitions yet but our best wishes are with him. A. L. C. LAWRENCE EUGENE BRODBECK On june 29, 1926, the stork deposited a bundle of life on the door step of Mr. and Mrs. Rufford Brodbeck. It was a baby boy weighing six pounds and was promptly named Lawrence Eugene by his proud parents. He is better known today by his nickname Brod- ie. Brodie's grade school days were spent at Bobo and his four years of high school at Pleasant Mills. Eugene's favorite pastime is photography and making weird noises on the trumpet. His favorite subjects are physics and typing. His school chums are the senior boys. He showed his talents as an actor in the senior class play and played basketball in his junior year.

Besides our regular course of study, we have learned about the Eskimo Children and the Indians.

We are now making and painting our drunis for our drum corps. The first grade is finishing their A B C books. Room II consists of the third and fourth grades. Thirty-two children are in this room. We have had two parties this year. At Christmas time we enjoyed a program and gift exchange. Songs and recitations were given by several-children. A playlet, Up A Christmas Tree , was given by the children from the fourth grade. In February a valentine box was made by the girls. This was filled with:valentines and on February 14, a party was held with distribution of the valentines and refreshments of cookies and candies. Several contests have been held during the year. Theise included basketball, jumping rope and word-building contests. The concluding activity of the year will be a program of musical numbers to be given at -the April meeting of the P. T. A. Room III consists of the fifth and sixth grades. At Christmas we presented, Christ- mas in Mother Goose Land to the first four grades. On Washington's birthday the sixth grade gave a playlet, A Colonial Tea Party . We had the first four grades and their tea- chers as our guests. Every six weeks on Friday our Spelling grades are totaled. If we don't miss more than one work, our reward is 1 candy sucker! Our yell leaders, Shirley Williamson and Darlene Fortney, had the honor of leading yells at one of our basketball games. Tom Baltzell, ten years old and in the fifth grade, has been notified that one of his original poems will be printed in the April issue of Child Life Magazine. The poem follows: POLLY PICKLENOSE Polly, Polly, goodness gracious Won't you quit a makin' faces ? Polly laughed at what they said, Cocked her nose and went to bed. But the Big Black Bogo heard He came, without a word, Walked right in you bet a nickel In his hand was a big green pickel. Walked right in with steady grace Stuck it right in Polly's face, Pinned it fast and there it grows Poor, Polly Picklenosnl Room IV consists 01 the seventh and eight grades. There are twenty-four children lu this room. We are really fortunate this year. In addition to the three R's, Music, Art, and Physi- cal Education, we are enjoying new History, English, and Spelling text-books. The second semester brought another item of interest in the form of the junior Schol- astic Magazine. The citizenship quizzes in the magazine are especially interesting. This weekly publication supplements History and Citizenship. w 1 , XV. u v v Q . x , ' I . 4 . . , I' 4 ' I WI., f 'L ' n'.1irl3Q6i Il ,L , I ' L., u f. IIN Mgtg.. . .1 .'

We ended with a seasons record of twelve wins in eighteen games. Mr. john Bauman in his first year as coach of the Spartans, is to be congratulated on a job well done. The Spartans started the season on November first with a win over the jefferson War- riors, 38 to ZZ. Wins over Wren, Monroe, the Decatur Comxnodores, and Kirkland and loses to Berne, Monmouth, Hartford, and Monroe gave us a record of five wins and four loses going into the County Tournament. The defeat by Monroe was avenged in our first game in the County Tournament after a hard fought battle, the Spartans winning by a score of 46 to 43. Monmouth, our next opponent, again proved too tough and we came out on the short end of a 40 to 39 score. The Eagles went on to win the championship. After the tournament, wins were registered over Geneva, jefferson, Wren, Kirkland, the Commo- dores, and Monmouth and lost only to the Decatur Yellow jackets. The defeat of the Coun- ty Champs in the season's final game was the highlight of this successful season. The Spartans, along with Decatur, Berne, and other Adams County teams, again played in the Decatur Sectional. The draw pitted us against the host team, the Decatur Yellor Jackets. After a game, hard-fought battle, the Spartans were eliminated by pa score of 46 to 42. Monroe, our victirn twice during the year, came through to win the Sectional Crown. The schedule and scores of the games for the season follows: Pleasant Mills Pleasant Mills Pleasant Mills jefferson -f--- Wren -------- Berne ------- Pleasant Mills Monrnouth --- Pleasant Mills Monroe ------ Pleasant Mills Commies ---- Pleasant Mills Hartford ----- Pleasant Mills Kirkland ----- Pleasant Mills Pleasant Mills Pleasant Mills Monroe ------ Geneva ------ Yellow jackets Pleasant Mills Jeffer son ----- Pleasant Mills Wren -------- Pleasant Mills Kirkland ----- Pleasant Mills Comrnies ---- Pleasant Mills Monmouth ---- County Tournament Pleasant Mills Monroe ------ Pleasant Mills Monmouth --- Pleasant Mills Sectional Tournament Yellow jackets CA DEB' T'0N Lovingly and respectfully we, the Senior Class of Pleasant Mills High School in the year of 1947 wish to dedicate this volume of SPOTLIGHT to OUR PARENTS in token of their kind, unselfish and never ending co-operation, and' interest which has made our education possible. 4 ' 'Y' s -nl- M1' 4 w , S- Lf- ji F . -'q X if fel 411- 4' .,, , K 'srl Q.

Although hampered by injuries, Bob's aggressive play and scoring ability were.a valuable asset to the team. He was chosen captain for the last half of the season. Ned Buck Ray another Senior forward was with the fighting Spartans for three years Buck was chosen as captain to lead the team the first half of the season. He was consist- ant, cool-headed player and proved his scoring ability- on several occasions. Rayrnond Elmer Fudd Ehrsam, a Senior guard on the starting five, played two years with the Spartans. Fudd was content to play a good r,game and to hold down his man most of the season but showed his ability to hit the basket in the Sectional. William jr. Coach White another Senior guard on the starting five has played two years for the Spartans. jr. was a good rebound man and had a dangerous left hand shot that found its mark frequently. Robert Bones Riley another Senior guard who alternated with White on the starting five completed his second year on the squad. Riley is known for his aggressive play and his ball hawking ability. Clyde Brownie Daniels, a Senior reserve guard played his third year for the Spar- tans. Clyde didn't play much but made the best of every opportunity while in the game.

The play with its Indiana set- ting, full of humor and sentiment, was well received by an appreciative audience. Mrs. Andrews, English instructor, directed the play.

A Girls' Glee Club, of fifteen members, was organized at the beginning of the year, directed by our music teacher, Mrs. Linn. We meet two periods a week, and also prac- ticed during our spare time. At noons the music room seemed to be the loafing room for girls. We'd sing pop- ular songs etc., practically every day. This was our way of Recreation and enter- tainment for the children in the lower grades. Having so much fun at noons, singing etc., made many other girls interested in music. Then the second semester seven new mem- fbers were added. There were no requirements for membership necessary, other then the desire to sing. We made our initial appearance on the night of the Senior Class Play. At that time we sang two selections, Kentucky Babe by Adarn Geibel and Look For the Silver Lining by Jerome Kern. We have practiced many other selections which we intend to sing at the P. T. A. Meeting in March, and at the Commencement Exercises to be held in May.

'uv' TRIP TO NIAGARA On Sunday, April 21, 1946, immediately after Baccalaureate services, the junior and Senior classes started on their trip to Buffalo, New York. Mr. Coppess accompanied us as the faculty representative. We boarded the school bus about midnight and arrived at the Nickel Plate Railroad De- pot in Ft. Wayne about an hour later. We waited another hour before our train arrived. One entire coach on the train was reserved for our party. Some slept, others read, and still others just talked the rest of the night. Eating on the train was a new experience for the majority but it didn't seem to bother our appetites. We arrived at Buffalo about three o'clock Monday afternoon. No brass bands were pre- sent to greet us but two buses were waiting to take us to Niagara. During the hour's drive, we crossed two toll bridges and enjoyed other new sights and experiences. We reg- istered at the Temperance Hotel, were assigned to rooms, and wasted no time unpacking. Everyone felt better after cleaning up. We spent the afternoon sight-seeing, visiting several of the beautiful parks and, of course, the Falls . The camera bugs were plentiful so plenty of remembrances of the trip may be found in the albums of the students. All of us spent much time viewing the falls from all different angles. Only our appetites drew us away from the natural pheno- mena. We enjoyed our supper at the Vicks Restaurant very much. At night, beautiful colored lights are cast upon Niagara Falls from the Canadian side. Desiring to see this, many walked over into Canada to view the scene. Knowing this to be a strenuous trip, some decided not to go, but went to a movie and then back to the hotel for some good old shut-eye . As there was no time to loose, we arose early Tuesday morning. All of us ate a hearty breakfast and were told we could plan our own day. At nine o'clock we assembled all the kids for a ride on the Maid of the Mist. Since the boat ride would take us below the falls where the spray was plentiful, we had to wear rain coats and hats. We also learned that it was quite a bit colder under the falls. At one of the park , a man with a horse and buggy offered excursion rides to Canada. Some of us took advantage of the opportunity to go into Canada.to buy some ration-free shoes. Nearly everyone had the opportunity to send cards and letters home to relatives and friends telling of our experiences. Naturally, the souvenir shops did quite a good business during the few days of our stay. At three o'clock, we were ready to start on our long trip home. We checked out of the hotel and boarded the buses for the ride back to Buffalo. Most of us had bought, candy, apples, and other eats to take with us on the trip since we were always hungry. It was about seven o'clock when we arrived at Buffalo Tuesday night. The train wasn't due for an hour so most of us ate lunch and rested while waiting. The ride home was uneventful and we arrived in Ft. Wayne about four o'clock Wednes- day morning. The school bus waswaiting so we were soon safely back at good old PMI-IS It was good to get back into this familiar territory even though the trip was enjoyed very much by everyone. No doubt everyone taking part in this trip will refer to it on many oc- casions as they look back to this glorious period of their school life. The students and faculty of the Pleasant Mills junior-Senior High School recently vis- ited the Decatur Plant of the General Electric Company when they held Open House. Guides were assigned to groups of students to explain the different phases of manufacturing the electric motor. A It was interesting to learn the different 'methods used in the mass pro- duction process. Doughnuts and fruit juices were served for refreshments.
