S. today, we hurried up the stairs to our lockers, gathered a load of books, and joined our chattering friends' in the assembly. While we were obtaining all of the latest gossip, the bell rang. This bell hushed our gab-fest, and was the signal for Mr. Hobbs, our principal, to step forward and make his announcements. Since they affected several of the day's classes, these announcements were extremely impor- tant. Following various announcements by our teachers, a synopsis of tonight's class play, given by a member of the play cast, proved to be unusually entertaining to all of us. ln conclusion, Mr. Hobbs talked to us about the importance of good citizenship in our school. As there was no further business appearing, we were sent to our first period classes by Mr. Hobbs' two familiar words, Classes pass. This is the customary beginning of a school day for 365 students of Sheridan High School and lunior High. The purpose of the meeting each morning is to make it possible for the entire student body to make and hear all of the important announcements. Winners of con- tests and winners of athletic events are also introduced and congratulated at this morning session. Once each month the students assemble in this same room to hear the message of one of the ministers of the community. The assembly room is the scene of the special programs given during the year. lbecbcafion f,z',,.,, Jw, Principal and Basketball Coach Ball State Teachers Col- lege, B. S., Indiana Uni- versity, M.

This department is one of those which makes Sheridan's reputation out of school. Students in these musical groups present a Christmas program each year, and the county music festival is given every spring. Members of the girls' physical education classes participate in all types of sports. Bask- etball, baseball, kickball, and volleyball are the main athletics that are enjoyed by the girls.

Magincztiofn, As I sat wondering where my school- mates were, for I was in a reminiscent mood, the front doorbell rang twice. lt could only have been the postman. I opened the door, and was handed a whole stack of mail. What does all this mean? I exclaimed. The postman didn't know the answer to that question, so I took all of my mail inside and sat down to read it. The first letter had a postmark of the Pan- ama- Canal Zone on it, which aroused my curiosity. After opening and reading it, I knew why I had received so many letters. Ten years ago when the class of '50, my class, gradu- ated, everyone promised to write me a letter ten years later, and tell me how successful they had been. Now, I was getting those let- ters. The iirst one from Panama was from Carol Overdorf. She was in Panama tracking down some germ for the government. She had always wanted to be a laboratory technician, but it led to isolating germs for the govern- ment. She continued, saying that she was doing sketches of the natives for her own per- sonal enjoyment. Later, she plans to exhibit her art work. Laying Carol's interesting letter aside, I picked up the next one, which was only a post card from Germany. Bob Hines was the writer of it. He is still in the Army and is directing the occupational forces in Berlin, still trying to get around the Russian block- ade. He said that Ben Coppess and Robert Alexander are both over in Germany and are top generals in the Air Force. Bob had re- cently heard that the new no-wing, no-motor plane that was flown around the world at the incredible speed of 3,000 miles per hour by Arbie and Wade Stone, was invented by William Godby, another schoolmate, who had turned scientist. ' The next letter was from India. Imagine my surprise when I found it was from Mag- gie Freeman. She had been associated with the Wm. H. Block Company since her school days, and now she was in Calcutta, deep in the work of designing new fabric patterns, suggested by the colorful Indian people. She mentioned that Mary Little was the air-host- ess on the airplane which brought her to In- dia. Then came a very business-like letter from Harry Hobbs, who is now the Secretary of State in Washington, D. C. He said in his letter that Don lnskeep is also in Washington, being Iunior Senator from Indiana. Max Starrett sent a letter from Chicago. After graduation, he had gone to Barber School, and had later opened his own little shop in Chicago. He now owns a large shop and employs several people. One of them is Mary Iean Wallace, who is a manicurist. Marcia Fancher wrote me a nice letter from Arabia where she is working in a hospit- al at one of the oil fields. She mentioned that she and Ieanette Pickett had sailed together from New York to England. From there, lean- ette had gone to Ireland. a place she had al- ways wanted to visit. After school she had decided to make trumpet-playing her life work, and was going to join McNarnara's band. Barbara Beard's letter was from a Navaio Indian Reservation. She is teaching the little papooses how to live the white man's life. Then came a letter from home. Hiatt's Garage is still Hiatt's Garage, but-now Rich- ard has stepped into his father's shoes and has a very thriving business. Richard also told me of the recent election of Richard Sample as Marshal of Sheridan. 'Tig ffl. TT A letter came from Hollywood, complete with an autographed photograph. The face on the photograph was none other than that of Ann Beard, who is being billed as The Second Betty Hutton . Ann wrote that Paul McClay has recently had a screen test at Paramount, which the producers liked very much. They are planning to give him a colos- sal build-up. Phyllis Walker and Chiquita Padgett are running a Kindergarten in St. Louis, Missouri. Chiquita wrote that they both like this type of work. The Bower-Power Plant has recently been built in southern Indiana to help control the Wabash River. Warren Bower is the head of that large organization. Don McCarty, War- ren's head construction engineer, wrote me all about this plant. Floyd Teter wrote me from Miami Beach, saying that he has a large hotel near the ocean. It is called Floyd's Retreat . He men- tioned several of his old schoolmates who come every year to his resort. One of his regular customers is Mary jane Landis, who says she just can't stand the Northern winters any longer. Another customer is Pat Iessup, who is writing novels. Her latest, which now heads the best-seller list, is The Private Life of Crimson de Light . Sarah Scanland wrote that she was tak- ing her first vacation in ten years from her work as an operator for the Bell Telephone Company. She is going to Alaska to visit Phyllis Graham, whose husband is looking for uranium in the Klondike region. From London comes a letter from Wilma Harbaugh and Marjorie Wiles, who are sta- tioned there with the WAC's. They confessed that this had always been their secret ambi- tion. Winifred Greathouse wrote, stating that she was the librarian at the United Nations Meetings, and said that she enjoys this work immensely. From Westfield came a letter from Rose- mary Godby, who is now Mrs. DeNoon. Har- old is coaching in Westfield and the rivalry between W. H. S. and S. H. S. is still going strong. Rosemary mentioned Charlene Clark, nee Moore, who also lives near Westfield. lust about five years after graduation, Helen Hundley and Carolyn Snyder bought a deserted South Sea Island and became beach-combers. Theysent me a rare sea-shell from this island and a very interesting letter. From Yankee Stadium came a note from Bill Hutchens, who is ' umpiring all of the baseball games there. Immediately after graduation, I-Iarold Thurman wrote, he was asked by the Bronx Zoo authorities to make a trip to Dark Africa to hunt some new animal that had been seen there. After ten years, he is still looking for more new animals never seen before. Martha Mintier wrote me from San Fran- cisco, where she is lecturing on the subject, How To Influence Your Husband. Another letter from Sheridan came from jesslyn Calvert, who is now the first woman principal of Sheridan High School. Two teach- ers there are Eva Samuels and Iulianna Grin- stead. Eva is teaching Home Economics, while Julianna is teaching in the kindergarten. Phyllis Poer dropped me a line saying that she is working for Iack Bishop in Indian- apolis, on the Unemployment Board. Cne of my former classmates, Evelyn Cline, who has gone into television, is doing two comedy 'shows every day. With her are Roselyn Mace and Marilyn Iennings, who write her scripts. V f After reading all these messages, I sat back and thought about all the wonderful days we had enjoyed in school. However, my time for reminiscing was limited, so I gathered all of this mail that I had received and carried it to my treasure chest, where I shall place it among my souvenirs. S E N IO R S By Ann Beard S-is for the Senior class So bright in every way. E-is for the effort Shown in classes every day. N-is for the noble deeds Which we all hope to achieve. I-is for our idle ways, And the grades which we receive. 0-is for the old time stories told Of the happy days gone by, and R-is for remembrance Of dear old Sheridan High. SENIOR HISTCRY Seniors at last! Four years ago we en- tered high school as insignificant freshmen and began our journey on a high school ca- reer. As green freshies we were victims of the usual initiation, but, it is evident that all of us survived. In addition to our class party, we had two skating parties and a hay-ride, with plenty of tomatoes furnished. As Sophomores we enioyed two parties. Since it was Leap Year, the girls gave one party for the boys. Harold DeNoon was our president for the year and Mr. McClung and Miss Padgett were our sponsors. Our Iunior year found us as busy as bees. We began making money for our senior trip by selling pop and popcorn at ball games. Miss Elsie Padgett directed our first play, Those Websters, which proved to be a huge success. Another big event which we planned. was the Iunior and Senior party. This year's top man was Don Inskeep, and Mrs. I-1ersh+ man and Mr. Inskeep were our sponsors. With the beginning of the fall semester, 1949, we enrolled as seniors and announced that we were the upperclassmen. After elect- ing Ieanette Pickett as our president and in- itiating the freshmen, we started work on the yearbook. Our second theatrical production, Peck's Bad Boy , was under the capable di- rection of Miss Padgett. Our pictures were taken and were received in time for Christ- mas. At our regular class meetings we chose maroon and white as our class colors. Either find a path or make one was selected as the motto, and the rose was our class flower. As time marched on and May 5 arrived, we made those last minute arrangements for the long awaited trip to Washington, D. C. Our Baccalaureate was held May 14. On May 15, Commencement night, we passed through the gate of the past and walked forward into the future. y Tote Them Chairs Lift that chair, don't drop it boy Lift that chair, it's not a toy.

Some of the in- iured were Don Weaver, Bud Barricks, Pete Stafford, Martin Little, and Don lnslceep, but, by far, the Worst was the broken leg which Warren Bower received in the Delphi qame.

BASKETBALL This year the Blackhawks, under the very capable direction of Coach Larry Hobbs, made history. They swished and dribbled out twenty wins to eight defeats. ln the Holiday Tourney, held at Sheridan on lanuary 2, the mighty Blackhawks clinched the championship by thumping Flora in the final game, 72 to 45. Re- peating their performance of last year, Sheri- dan lost the Hamilton County Tournament to Carmel in a two point over-time thriller, but again redeemed themselves by winning their second consecutive Sectional. Followed to Ko- komo by over 1600 enthusiastic fans, the Black- hawks thoroughly established themselves as a brilliant team by defeating Greentown in the afternoon game of the Regional and by con- tinuing to vanquish Wabash in the final to be- come one of the Sweet SiXteen ' in lndiana. The only other Regional title won by Sheridan occurred in l938. Sheridan's next triumph was the ousting of a highly-favored New Castle team in the first game of the Semifinals, held in the Muncie Fieldhouse. ln the final game of the Semifinals the Black and White quintet put up a great battle, but were out-scored by the Marion Giants. Harry Hobbs, Paul McClay, and Rex Pitts were selected on the all Regional first team. Harry and Paul were chosen on the Muncie Semifinal first team and they were both nomi- nated to the state all-star team by the Indi- anapolis Star. Harry was the leading scorer in the Semifinal tourneys and was also selected by the lndianapolis News on its All-State first five.

After contacting and meeting wiLh several photographers from various studios and dis- cussing all the pros and cons we selected one to take pictures. After many postponements because of Weather con- ditions, the photographers finished taking pictures. The engraving company was the next organization to be consulted and contracted. After this, came fitting, cutting, and mounting of all the pictures to be sent to the engraver.' Then, as if We weren't already up to our necks in work, we contracted a printer and a binder. Last, but of course, not least, came the task of select- ing a cover. When We finished all of this, We still couldn't quit. Then came all the writing, writing, and re-writing of all the articles. It was just work, work, Work, but when the final deadline was met and the book was sent to press, we suddenly found ourselves with nothing to do, but much to look forward to, with the return of our completed book.

This year the membership has risen to 51 dare- devlis. This course is highly regarded by the patrons and, believe it or not, the pe- destrians. The dual-control car which is used is furnished by the Sheridan Motor Company, and is leased by the Trustee. Our very capable teacher is Mr. Byron Stout. In addition to our actual driving experience, We are shown films pertaining to safety in driving.. Scrapbooks are also kept containing articles taken from newsf papers and magazines. The class consists of 15 minutes for driving per Week, and 40 minutes recitation time which is usu- ally spent in discussion and by a variety ,of tests. This is a very popular and im- portant course, since the education of driv- ers will unquestionably decrease the fas tality rate of the community and the state. It takes a safe driver to be a good one. 4-H Iuclging Teams Dairy Iudging: Seated: Phillip Cline, Lloyd Walker Standing: Mr. Hobson, Floyd Walker, Neil McCullough Grain Iuclging: Seated: Charles Hutchens, Walter Pawlak Standing: Ronald lnskeep, Carl Arthur Poultry Iudging: Seated: Rosemary Godby, Mary Lee Hutchens, Clara Ann l-leffelmire, Charlene Moore, Marjorie Wiles Standing: Don Iessup, lack Godby Livestock Iudging: First Row: Robert Honnold, Don Oberleas, Iohn Hiatt Second Row: Don Billingsley, Harold Bil- linqsley, Clifford I-Ieffelmire Third Row: Mr. Hobson, Don Inskeep Fourth Row: Walter Waitt, Dallas Grin- stead 4-I-I OFFICERS First Row: Doreene Billingsley, Kathleen Merrill, Carol Grinstead.

Approximately 350 enthu- siastic followers of the Blackhawks climbed aboard the Diesel at Sheridan at 5:30 p.m. on'December 9, 1949, on their wayto Rensselaer. The Seniors sold sandwiches, pop, candy, etc., which proved to be an accommodation, especially for those who didn't have time to eat before leaving home. Two non-scheduled stops provided plen- ty of excitement for everyone, including the traincrew. Rensselaer's hospitality was shown at our arrival. There were school busses waiting at the station to transport all of the passengers to the gymnasium for the game. The fans of S. H. S. weren't disappointed at the results of the game, since the Blackhawks were victorious. While the fans were enthralled in the game, the snow was falling rapidly outside, and by the time the game was over, the streets were slick and extremely hazardous. After the game the school busses again carried Sheridan's fans to the station to start their journey back home.

I Class of 5 I Phone ' SHEBIIDAN 351 INDIANA A mother handed her younger son a suit of clothes saying: Take these Iohnny, your brother cannot wear them any longer. All right, said Iohnny, who had be- come weary of wearing hand-me downs, but will I have to marry his widow when he dies? A young man wanted to buy a gift for his girl friend, and he asked her if she was interested in book-ends. Yes, she answered, that's the part I always read first. Two rowdies held up a Negro woman on a backroad in the deep South. Your money or your life, they shouted. You all can take my life, the old wom- an answered, I'm saving up my money for my old age. A traffic cop stopped a pretty young thing who was going at a good clip. Whattye mean, goin' fifty miles an hour?
