It is the spearhead of Victory. The administrators ot our school maintain efficient and assiduous unity.

I-XDIVIINISTRATIQN The primary objectives ot our Consti- tution have been and are the security ot our country and the welfare ot- our peo- ple. In pursuance of these objectives leaders are needed to advance these ideals. Mr. Robert L. Cleaveland and Mr. William Holt, as our leaders, consecrate themselves to the study and solution ot student problems. The tine school spirit prevalent in R. I-I. S, is adequate proof of their success. ROBERT L. CLEAVELAND Superintendent WILLIAM HOLT Principal 9 CALVIN BEAMAN Indiana University: Indiana State Teachers College, B.S., Miami Uni- versity.

It was with mingled doubts and pleas- ure that they entered into this position of re- sponsibility. The efficient and understanding Command! ing Officers for this class were Mrs. Blue and Mr- Holt. These master sergeants exercised a certain right of superiority at times, but it was by their own achievement that they earned this right. Those who passed the physical fitness test to participate in athletics were Moore, Bowman, Ford, Babcock, Dawson, Peregrine, Kryder, Sel' by, Milton, Iordan, and Lewis. The off-hour activities of this class were many and varied. Many of these activities con- tributed materially to the War effort by their Victory proiects. Most important of these were the highly successful war savings stamps and bonds sales sponsored by the Senior Class and Mr. Davisson. Commissioned as second lieutenants, this class goes forth with the realization that the World before them is one of chaos. They, as a class, are prepared to assume whatever re- sponsibilities are theirs for achieving a decis- ive allied Victory. 12 enior CKCLSM omm Paul Moore President Eugene Klinefelter Vice President loan lordan Secretary One For All and All For One Left to right: Iordan, Mr, Holt, Moore, Mrs Blue, Klinefelter.

Rensselaer, Indiana Moy 21, 1963. Dear Paul: Do you realize that twenty years ago today we graduated from Rensselaer High School? I think that as president and vice president of that class that we should take the lead in compiling a history of what has happened to each member of the class since we graduated. As a minister you have the necessary leisure time to do this. I've gathered a few facts and you can put them together in a small volume, together with what information you may have. Since Bill was awarded a medal for distinguished service in the Marines, he's settled down to running Ct Pdndrnd Hot fC1CiOfY. in AlC1SkC1f of all places! . . . Duke has really gone places coaching those Purdue athletic teams.

I just picked up the paper and read that the Rotary Club had given CI dinner for Gen- lOhn I. Timmons and his wife, the former lean Cook. They are visiting Pat Prouty Warren and her husband . . .

I was glad to hear that the President had appointed Archie, U. S. Minister to his native Canada . . . Anita Feldhaus has certainly made a name for herself in Hollywood. Of course with Ken's influence why shouldn't she? After seeing Ken, I wonder why the girls ever fell for Gable and Boyer back in the forties . . . Libby Fendig can be heard any Sunday evening as Beth, the featured pianist with Phil Snitalnev . . . There never was any Q1-leSti0n Ctbelli AlberiCI'S illillre after Fred gave l'1er that diamond . . . Connie Fortune made the news last week when she was appointed Secretary of Labor. Her first move was to draft Beverly Sanders to draw cartoons for the A. F. of L. newspaper . . . Nong Gifford was appearing with Barnum and Boiley here lost Week GS Ot irdpeze ortist- Her DC1l,Dorothie lohnson, designs all of her costumes . . . Norma Hershman is personal secretary to Gov. Icnes of Nebraska, fThere are rumors of wedding bellSl - SinCe YOU otfioioted ot the Cere1'nOnY, l guess you know what happened to Nancy and Tohn. I think you made a mistake to swear to eternal bachelorhood though . . . Last summer I heard Eldena Horton sing in an Indianapolis cafe. I never knew what happened to her romance with Frank . . . Lorraine Ionas is now Madame lone, a Fifth Avenue hair stylist. One of her celebrated customers is ldfllce Sdqe who is with the Metropoliidn Ctnd Chicago Opera Companies now . . .

Mi l Feldhflils. . Jfivisson, Hoover, Miss Russell, Overton, SERGEANTS On September 7, sixty-seven corporals were promoted from their corporalships to the rank of seraeants. Now that we are upper-classnien we can scorn privates and corporals just as we've been debased for the past two years. Ever since we've been in this man's army we have been bossed, but now it is our turn. Ot the sixtyeseven who were promoted, nine siqned up for physical Combat duty. This duty was divided into two divisions, football and basketball. Those in the lst Division were Putts, Overton, Green, Hoover, Bahler, and Mcf Colly. ln the 2nd Division were Smith, Cleave- land, Gates and Green. We, the serqeants, consider it our duty to follow our motto, Possum Oui Putant Posse , to Victory. One ot the most outstanding accomplish- ments was our Class play, Our Town. This novel drama was well done and enthusiastic- ally received. Entertainment of this type is tine tor our morale. The lunior Prom, qiven in honor of our master serqeants, was another important event of the year. lt was a fitting farewell to them. Hzsty H-xrtmmn, I. Lum, G11l!!OIkt', Putts, LLM.

PRIVATES On Septeniber 7, l942, induction day, ninety excited and nervous rookies flocked to the center oi induction activities at R. ll. S. Soon their nervousness had disappeared and they were eagerly starting on this new adventure. Phegley, Malone, Strawbridge, Steinkanip and Brown, after having passed the stiff physi- cal, were adniitted to the Athletic Corps. Billy Leopold cut a dashing figure in his uniform carrying the water bucket. The rest of us shouted ourselves hoarse for theni. We, the rookies of today, hope to be the sailors, soldiers, marines, nurses, and fliers of tomorrow. That is why we are, now rnore than ever, grateful for our chance to learn and play in the democratic way. We want to help bring Victory to this great land of ours, but we niust have the knowledge and sportsrnanship we are getting now to do this. America, America Leo!

This club was originally organized to familiarize us with Central and South America. This year it was decided that our study would include the entire world. The Cosmopolitan Club undertook the project of making an Honor Roll of R. H. S. alumni who are in the armed forces. The project Will be continued until peace is ours. This club feels that geographical and political knowledge of the world contributes greatly to Victory and enduring peace. President .........,..........w...iw,.,i,ci,.,..i., .,...

Girls must be physically fit-they must be ready to meet anything which might face them in the future. The women who are selected for WAACS and WAVES or SPARS have to be physically fit. The women who Work in defense plants must have strong healthy bodies to undertake all this work which is necessary for Victory. This is why G. A.

During a war, more than at any other time, we appreciate music for the inspiration that it gives us to carry on, in spite of the additional burdens that rest on our shoulders. In music and its production we Americans can find relaxation after a long and tedious day of war activities. Music cannot be rationed. As lonq as there are musicians left in the world, we shall have music. CHORUS During the short time that we have been in the war we have learned that the civilian's morale is just about as important as a major victory in some battle. One oi the main R. H. S. morale builders is the chorus of l4O privates, corporals, serqeants and master ser- qeants. Under the slcilltul direction of its leader, Mr. Shadley, the chorus has steadily proven itself a valuable asset to the whole school. They are helping speed Victory by their tuneiul harmonies. The chorus sana at many patriotic assemblies held during the year.

The club members are engaged in the study of two topics essential to the war effort: Aeronautics, under the able instruction of Mr. Mohr, and a class in radio code and theory, taught by Mr. Ritchie. The Weekly meetings were well attended and enjoyed. Since this nation is at war, these classes serve as an elementary study for future pilots, radio men, navigators, plane designers, re- pair men, and many other branches of the Air and Siwnal Corps.

These scores do not necessarily tell the Whole story ot the 1942 tootboll seotson. The squdd opened its seotson without the services ond experiences oi eight ot its veterons: nevertheless, the morctle ot the tectm wots invincible ond ot qrini determination to succeed drove the inexperienced members on. The tiqhtinq Bombers showed progress otnd improvement in eoch qctme they pldyed. The first game was with Hammond Catholic, who nosed out a 7-6 victory. This was a tough one to lose. The rugged teams of Michigan City and Valpo were able to nick the Bombers for a six-point margin each. Lowell came next and made off with a l2-9 decision. The Bombers scored a direct hit against Crown Point. Wabash won an easy victory 20-6 against a weakened Rensselaer team which was minus three of its key men because of iniuries. Last came the Monticello Indians, who were massacred by us 31-0. Our total hits were 72 points. Our opponents rung up only 51. Paul Moore held down the number one spot at center. He was out of the line-up for two weeks due to injuries. Both guards, Dawson and Selby were instrumental in opening up badly needed gaps and in stopping power plays. Peregrine and Kryder gave all they had as tackles. Bowman's quick thinking and speed were spectacular during the season. At the end of the season Paul Moore and Archie Dawson were elected co-captains. Other members of the squad were Putts, Lintner, Overton, Green and Saylor. These boys will carry on next year. With the help ofthe coaches, Mr. Bausman and Mr. Davisson, our Bombers won the Mid-Western Conference Trophy. Monticello, last year's winner, was forced to relinquish the prize after a 31-0 trouncing they received from the Bombers.

Students! Here are those Captains of the Clouds, the First Class Bombardiers which have seen active duty the past season. 'they have made several foreign victories as well as victories here on the home front. The Bombers won five games out of seventeen which was a pret'y good average considering lack of height and stiff competition from their op- ponents. Credit must be given to their instructor, Mr. Davisson, who so ably took over the position of Mr. Bausman in teaching the boys formation procedure, navigation, and net target practice. The boys who have finished their training and will soon be graduated are Bowman, Moore, Milton, Ford, and Babcock. These boys were veterans of last year. Putts height, and Lintner's fast action under the basket helped greatly to score hits. The remainder of the reserve strength was in Smith, Saylor, Green, Gates, and Cverton. Rensselaer lacking the all-around height of many teams, depended on speed and more speed and quick breaks by its hard driving guards. Cur boys held their own, never once slacking dcwn on the Job. After some stiff competition which sometimes caused defeat, they went it the next game with more spirit than ever. Qther things that gave our Bombers the spirit were the students and yell leaders who gave their gill to the last minute for our fighting men. Duke Bowman was elected cap- tain for the year. 'l'he up-and-coining Bornhardiers, Ziid Class, have exhibited their preliminary train- ing in the past season rernarkably well. Part of their success was due to instruction lroin their ace of aerial warfare, Mr. Mohr. A few of the boys comprising the Second Class Squadron are Bahler, Phegley, Strawbridge, Cleaveland, Malone, English, Lowinan, and several others. These hoys are ambitious and they show great prornise for next years advanced training. Schedule For Bombers Nov, Morocco Rensselaer Nov Horace Mann Rensselaer Dec. Michigan City Rensselaer Dec.
