The class of '44 was the largest with, thirty-four graduating. Our school has averaged twenty-three graduates a year since its doors first opened. 5 There were 5,190 books taken out of the library during 1945. During January alone, 855 books were taken out. These figures mean that, on the average. each book circulated 2.7 times during the year. There are 1,920 books in the library. The library also subscribes to 20 magazines. ..n - -.,,..5g'r'.- 4, :Era .vc 52 ,TW gl' . I xs . -..51Iif,, ' i Q- ' ff'- ,i x 17 L . :mfr h .eg l l iq 43.-?3'.ff I- ' V ' . 'lf'-ii ' ' l:'n': wg ..

WZ My goodnessf -lust take a look at the flourish- ing classes now conducted at SHS. Don't we all look busy? XN'ell, you can bet your life we are- most of the time, anyway. XVe certainly could have plenty to do if we felt ambitious, couldn't VVS T This is the smallest and most unusual class in the entire school. Since Norma and Anna were unable to take trigonometry during the regulation period. a special time was arranged with Mr. Nay. Now that the bleachers are put away for the year, it's hard telling where you'll find this class. mzzmeq 5. af. s. The boys' Physical lidneation Department, un- der the direction of Mr, Ralph Johnson, helps build strong' and healthy bodies for the boys at Speedway High. Rope skipping, climbing, ealis- thenics and tumbling are all a part of the course. pu Just look at that Phil Brumley tumble, will you. The Industrial Arts Department at Speedway has been greatly improved with the addition of new drawing tables and machinery. There are three general divisions into which the department is divided. They include woodworking, metals and mechanical drawing. Mr. Trosky is the departf ment head. Due to crowded conditions in the high school building. the ma- jority of the study halls are held jn the Speedway Christian Church basement. VV e happened to catch Mr, Sallee-'s group with this shot. Say, Clona, are you actually reading your lesson or trying to think of something to say in a note F Boom! XVhat was that? Oh. just Harold Black, john Hum- phreys and Katharine Ziegelmuel- ler in the midst of some chemis- try experiments. Approximately 352,000 worth of new equipment has been purchased for the sci- ence department. Mr. 'llroth is our science instructor.

Not another page! Golly, did you ever see such husy people? Readiu', writin', 'rithinetic -we've got 'ein all with heaps of extras thrown in. Speedway High seems a busy place. but don't worry 'cause we wou't let ourselves he overworked even if we do have super additions to equipment and curriculum. lYell, look who's herel Howdy, -luuior ling- lish class! This class meets in the library under the supervision of Bliss Stout. The surroundings seein to he very educational since the students are henuned in from all sides hy rows and rows of hooks. At least, they ean't say they aren't exposed to some lcnowledge. Peek-pee'lt-peek, peel:- 're?lle. I inttde a mistake. lY0nder how many students ii this advanced typing class have uttered similar phrases when the typewriter just wouldn't print what it should, They all prohahly have hut they lzeep on striving for perfection with the very etpahle direction of Mr. Lawrence Thompson. The Art Department, which is under the super- vision of Mrs. Dona llowers, has become a very popular elective among' the students at Speedway High. It's a two-year course and there is always something' to do. Drawing. painting, leather- working and other handicraft are all a part of the eonrse. ..,. , ,mn l . . -,..L.' 'rn , ' lt. Ll.

We' ' Girl Reserves This is the second year for the organization of the Girl Reserves at S.H.S. It was formed for girls in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades as members. The entire club is a member of the Girl Reserve Recognition Service, an organiza- tion in which the girls dedicate themselves to better character development and higher standards. The Girl Reserve Recognition Service is an inter-racial group. At the Y.VV.C.A. these girls are taking part in various sports such as swimming. ping-pong. and tennis. ln connection with XVorld Brotherhood, they are making a notebook on this subject to be entered in a contest when it is completed. They cooperated with the Girl Scouts and Campfire Girls in the Share of the Food campaign in saving as much food and money as possible and giving the difference to the starved, war-torn countries. The Hi-Y membership is composed of Sopho- more, junior, and Senior boys who believe in Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Scholarship as their motto. For the first time this year, sophomores became eligible for membership. when an amendment to the constitu- tion was passed at the beginning of the year ad- mitting them. Their main project of the year was the sponsorship of the interesting speech by Mr. Robert Kryter on The Atomic Bomb and Atomic Energy. The P.T..-X. cooperated with the spon- sorship of the talk. SX few of the club members journeyed to Terre Haute for a Hi-Y conference. These boys were entertained at a dance which was given by the girls of Terre Haute and, as we hear from the boys. they had quite a time. Some of the boys, a little earlier in the year, spent a week-end at Camp Tecumseh. fouiiwfaezfa Senior Debate There has been a lot doing for the Senior Debaters this year in the way of fun and travel. They have won honors and recognition at Fair- mount, Terre Haute, and the District Contest. The subject of debate for the year was, Resolved: That Every Able-Bodied Male Citizen in the United States Should Be Required to Have One Year of Full-Time Military Training Before At- taining the Age of 24. Besides debating, they have done much in the way of entertainment at school, incidentally add-i ing to their treasury. They provided a hilarious evening for the enormous crowd who jammed the Speedway High School gym, when they sponsored Donkey Basketball games between the faculty and returned veterans, and the junior and senior girls. Other money-making schemes were the sale of basketball schedule pencils and booster buttons, which filled the treasurer's pocket to overfiowing.

Joan Praed was chosen as chairman of the drive and did a swell jobf Each class elected 'a candidate for Vicy tory King to be crowned at the end of the bond drive. Every time a person bought a stamp he was allowed to vote for his chosen candidate. VVhen the drive finally ended, jerry XVilson was the victor by a large majority, The convocation, which the club presented, was divided into two sections. The First part was the formal presentation of the service roll by Jim Nay, president of the class of 1945, which gave it to the school. In the second half of the program, jerry Nvilson was humorously crowned. Then a. truth and consequences act was put on by joan Mason, with the king's court as the contestants- Jlawidua ' Junior Play The Junior play this year was directed by Miss Stout. They gave Huckleberry Finn, a comedy for both young and old. The play was packed with clean, wholesome entertainment without an offen- sive line or situation. Huck Finn became the idol of every boy and girl after the play was given. It dealt with Huck's problems both during child- hood and after. The boyish pranks that Tom Sawyer and Huck played we1'e unbelievable. There was a howl of laughter when handsome Fred Raymond proposed to Aunt Ruth from the wrong book. Wihen john Finn entered into the situation after being thought dead, it appeared that anything was likely to happen in this play. Even though the couch did fall apart in the middle of the play, the juniors produced a great success. VV e all enjoyed it and are looking forward to seeing their senior play.

These seventh and eighth grade clubs met on alternate Monday evenings for their own individual debating. Part of the time they were divided into separate teams and held debates. They never debated with other schools as the sole purpose of these clubs is to gain experience in public speaking and debating before going into the Senior Debate Club. Wllien they enter their senior year. they will have much greater knowl- edge of the fundamentals of debating than if the junior Debate Clubs had never been organized. Their subject for the year has been Capital Punishment and many good points from both the affirmative and negative sides have been brought out. The debate discussions range from those directly concerning' the student to those regarding the nation. gaendze Literary Staff XVhat's this-Lockheed's assembly line.

'l'hey've always got their nose for news out-especially the humor editor who sometimes gets hers smashed in the scuffle, You can bet we gave our sponsor, Miss Spencer. plenty of headaches. How's about a scoop ? is a familiar question asked of a faculty member or town official and they really cooperate. Also, SH S. students hav- ing talent or some unusual hobby are hounded for interviews. Sonny Sutphin can verify that. It's work, gang, but you'll feel great satisfac- tion in knowing that you took part in the publi- cation of the SPIiliDli'l l'l2. 9 deff. Business Staff Shhh! Quiet please! The business staff is busily at work preparing the SPEEDETTE for publi- cation. Yes, they handle the mechanical end of our newspaper-typing, mimeoscoping, and mi- meographing. Marian Bruce, as publisher, acts as overseer of this staff. Ioan Praed became her assistant after Anna Thompson was forced to resign. Artists Kelley, Mason, and Hanen are making with the drawings while Cramer and Bruce are beating their typewriters to death. Thompson, Praed, and Bennett are mimeographing the paper and there's King checking the finished copies. These students wouldn't be able to do this job effectively if it weren't for the teaching received from Mr. Thompson, one of our capable sponsors. XVorking on the business staff requires accuracy, neatness, and time-but it's great fun, no kiddin', and you'll get a lot of useful knowledge concern- ing the publication of your high school newspaper.

During the year, the club awards typing and shorthand pins to the lucky students who earn them. The fees for the commercial contest at Danville, Indiana. are paid by the club. .Xt the end of the year, they give an award to the outstanding senior in commercial studies. The athletic dance, given by this club to honor the school's athletes, is one of the most entertain- ing events of the year looked forward to by the student body. :Xt this time the foul shooting award is given to the basketball player who has made the most successful attempts at foul shooting. .-Xu athletic queen is chosen to reign over the evening. The Home lic Club, sponsored by Miss lieckler, is now a member of the national organization Future Homemakers of .'Xll1Cl'lCZl.'i .X new con- stitution had to be written and new members initiated. Club colors are red and white. and the rose is their flower. They are also planning to buy club pins. Fellowship pennies were collected each meeting for unfortunate girls in other countries. These twenty girls have been very active this year. Some of their recreational activities have been: skating, bowling, horseback riding. and a Hallow- een party. They sponsored a dance, called Cupid Capers, after the lien Davis game on February 15. During the year the club also enjoyed lectures which were all on subjects that gave helpful hints to girls high school age. One of the speakers was a beautician who gave a demonstration on the proper application of makeup. The Student Council serves as a type of legis- .-Xudite, cives.

It isn't Greek though-it's the Latin phrase used to open Latin Club meetings. VVhile we are on the subject of the Latin Club, let's find out a little about this organization. The club is a chapter of a national organization called the Junior Classical League. Not all members of the club belong' to the national organization, however. Each. club member is assigned to one of seven Roman families Qliracchus, Vergilius, Pompeius, Hora-- tius. Valerius, Tullius, and Liviusj and he chooses a Latin name to which he answers at roll call.

The library has been enlarged in many different ways. Several donations of hooks have been received and a 1945 edition of the flI1'lPl'lt'U1Itl Em-yclofredia was purchased. A new tiling cabinet and picture file have also taken up more space in the room. The Honor Roll of men and women in the armed forces, which was given to the school by the graduating class of 1945, is hanging in the library. Library cards are issued to all students but if cards are lost. the student's privilege of going to the library is refused for two weeks. If a student loses a book, it must either be replaced by an- other book or money. A certain amount of pupils are allowed to go to the library from each class. Traffic Squad In order to avoid accidents these patrol boys. thirteen in all. have charge of the bicycle racks, building and street corner posts at all times when the pupils are going to school and at dismissals. The patrol boys are all lowerclassmen, but they have the authority to guard upperclassmen, as well as those in grade school. 'Traffic officers Ell out trafiic slips for the stu- dent violators. The duty of the traflic squad is to discuss the traffic slips to determine whether or not the otifense is serious enough for the vio- lator to appear in court. If so, they notify the violator to appear at a certain time to hear the Charges. The punishment is then decided. There are two courts, one for the high school and one for the grade school. A pupil can answer to either court but usually prefers the one in his own school. Band Our present band director has directed the Speedway Band for the past eight years. He has had the helpful assistance of the student director and student manager. Selected members of the high school band traveled to Decatur Central. February 19. to participate in a hand clinic. There were participants from six different schools. The entire hand journeyed to Greencastle, indiana. .Xpril 27, for the District Band and Orchestra contest. lt has previously been held at Danville, indiana. Mr, Northcott has organized three hand ensembles, which give variety to the programs. They are a clarinet quartet, saxophone quartet. and a brass quartet. The patrons of the school, a large number oi business firms, and other citizens of Speedway, have worked with untiring' effort to assist in pur- chasing new uniforms. The hand gave several concerts during the year and have well earned their new outfits. Choir Th High School Choir under the direction of Miss Shull participated in a considerable number of programs this year in the community and else- where. They have sung' for P.T.A. meetings, the Y.XY.C..'X Variety Hour, the Monument Circle Christmas P1'O4Q'l'Zllll, the Lutheran Church, the Christian Church, Ifast Park Methodist Church, Terre Haute State Solo Contest, Local Music Contest.

Mr. .if johnson also coached the varsity basketball team in a very success- ? ful season with Clyde Sallee as his able assistant . . . Mr. Sallee, 3 a war veteran, taught at .Xlexandria High School before coming 5 to Speedway . . . The track team was assured of a successful g season by the return from the Navy of Charles Nay. Coach Nay Ay formerly coached at Central High School near Madison, Indiana. .9 The -lunior High and Intramural basketball teams were indeed X , fortunate to have Mr. Sallee and Mr. Nay as their sponsors. Our cheer leaders, jane Vtfagle, liatie Heaton. 10-Anne Hasey, and Norma Sauer, led our yells at the football and basketball games this year to inspire our athletes to their many victories. Long hours of practice and much brain work made our yell-leaders outstanding at the three tourneys in which our basketball team participated. Credit must go to the Speedway athletes for carrying out the orders of the coaches in our three sports. Our athletes were honored in many ways this year, the first of which was the football banquet at Kernels Lake. Later came the F.l3.I,..'X.'s Athletes' Dance. :Xt this dance many awards were presented. jim Crumley earned the Lions Club Improvement in Football award and the Basketball Improvement award was presented to Bob Kuykendall. Bob Cassaday gained the distinction of being the first Sparkplug to win both the Foul-shooting' Trophy and the coveted Blase award. All of the football. basketball, and track athletes were honored at a banquet on April 12 at Cumberland, Indiana. -lane XYagle and Mr. Sallee Mr. johnson Mr. Nay ,lo-.Xnne liasey and Katie Heaton Norma Sauer Front Row: B.

Their experience was a deciding factor in the results of this year's meet. The letter winners from last year are: dashes, Richard Becher and Gene Tsareif: distance, jerry VVilson, Russell Flock, and Roh Kuykendall: hurdles. Boh Logue, and pole vault, lloh Hanen. Other boys expected to aid the thinly-clads this year were Charles Sutphin, Gene lYarren, Bill Roherts, Phil lirumley, and Duane Belcher. The Brown and Gold half-mile relay team, composed of Sutphin, Logue, Tsareff, and Bech- er, is reputed to he hetter than it was last year. This relay team ran the distance last year in 1 :-l2.2. The Sparkplugs engaged in only four meets this year. Their dual meet opponents were Dan- ville and Mooresville. A triangular meet was held with Franklin Twp. and the Deaf School. The Mid-State Conference track meet was held on .-Xpril 24 at the VVashington High School track. The thinlies' Hrst opponent in the l9-15 season was Mooresville. The Sparkplugs copped seven Hrst places to score a decisive 63-46 victory over the Pioneers. Speedway's runners won seven tirsts in the next meet, but Danville's Vllarriors gathered enough second and third place honors to edge out the Sparkplugs, 56 to 53. A poor fourth place tie with Brownshurg was all that the thinly-clads could earn as Lawrence Central's Bears walked away with the Mid-State Conference track title for the fourth consecutive year. Roh Huher sparked the Plugs with Gene Tsareff, Dick llecher. Boh Kuykendall. Jerry lVilson, and lioh Logue all scoring points. No records were broken, which was partly due to the poor weather conditions under which the meet was run. The last meet of the season was with the Deaf Schools Silent Hoosiers. The Hoosiers scored a stunning 70 2f5 to 381!3 victory over our run- ners. Boh Huher led the tracksters in scoring with SOM points and was elected the honorary captain for 1945. afuillfq Bon HARRAH-Senior guard on the first string, started oPf a fine season before leaving for Purdue. JIM CRL'MLEX'-SOpil0l1lOl'C. gained a guard position on the first five, thus earning his varsity award. .lim will be back next year to do even better on the rosin. Boa bvILSON1SClllOl', played at guard for the Spark- plugs. His accurate long shots otten saved the game for our boys when they were in a tight spot. JIM IQELLEY-A Senior, was just as capable on the hardwood as he was on the gridiron. jim played on the reserve team last year before gaining his varsity position. Bois CASSADAY--jXiSO a Senior, was the fan's player. Bob was adept not only on his long shots but also on charity tosses. The latter is proved by the fact that he earned the foul-shooting trophy. CHARLES SUTPHIN-:X junior. played at the forward position for Speedway. His outstanding play gained him a position on the All-Sectional team at Danville. JERRY VVILSON-SCIHOI' forward. was one of the two left-handed players of this season. His ability to hit under the basket won him and his left-hand fame throughout the halls. DICK BECHER-Senior. was capable of playing any position on the tioor. and he proved it. This and his well-used speed gained him his major award. BILL ROBERTS-S0pllOl'l'l0l'C, playing his first year on the varsity squad as guard, earned his award with his ability to dribble. BOB IQUYKENDALL-JLIIHOI' guard earned a position on the varsity after brilliant playing with the sec- onds. Bob achieved his award through his ability to hit the hemp. Next year will see this particular guard in even better form. B , Speedway hardwood fans watched the Speed- way Sparkplugs start the 19-I-5--16 season with two wins. Perry Central lost, 22-33. and Green- wood went down to defeat 31-38. Then came three straight defeats. Franklin Twp., Browns- hurg, and Plainfield heat our team hy scores of 38-25, 35-21, and 23-17, respectively. The Plugs then defeated Manual for the fourth consecutive year. 37-23, .-Xt the close of the next game. Mooresville was on the short end of a 35 to 29 score. Decatur Central retained the Marion county dope bucket hy trouncing the Sparkplugs -18-31. Our next loss was to Danville hy a score of 34 to 40. Speedway's gallant crew sailed to victory in the Pike Twp, Invitational Tourney hy sinking Pike. 37-27. and Franklin Twp., 32-31. This was the first tourney ever won hy the Plugs. lividently these triumphs encouraged the Sparkplugs, for they won their next two games. Lawrence Central tallied 25 points to Speedway's 35 and Beech Grove fell hefore the surging Plugs, 32 to 26. Franklin Twp.'s Flashes then ousted Speedway from the Marion County Tourney, -I'-If-31. Then Sparkie was sealped by the XYarren Central XX'arriors, 40 to 30. The thriller of the season was against Zionsville's Eagles. The Sparkplugs eked out a 30 to 35 overtime victory in a thrill-packed game. Pike Twp. again lost to the Plugs, 48-29. The last two games in the regular season both resulted in sethacks for the Speedway five. XVash- ington ran over our boys 43 to 35 and Ben Davis pulverized the Plugs hy a score of 47 to 37. .Xfter hard practice, the Sparkplugs invaded the Danville sectional tourney. New XYinc'hester fell -10-34. Speedway rolled into the semi-tinals only to he stopped hy Danville in a very close game in which the XYarriors defeated the Spark- plugs, 27-25.

Teamwork and sharpshooting were hoth in evidence as the team won 11 games and lost only 7 during the 1946 season. lioh liuykendall sparked this team until his rapid improvement gained him a position on the varsity. Dave Cruinley and Phil lirumley led this year's reserve scorers in the eighteen game season. The rese1'ves were led by Coach Sallee, who. as shown hy the season's record, handled the hoys very eapahly. step in learning. ' ,flaw It seems as though Speedway is certain to have good up and coming hardwood squads in the future. The second team of the Junior Hi basket- ball teams lost two out of three games by close margins this year. These were lost only by lack of experience. The first team won two out of five starts this season. The toughest opposition of the season was from Decatur Central. Harold Kuykendall was high point man for the ,Junior Hi group, His playing ability and leader-- ship was much needed in some of the tight spots of the games. Harold will no doubt be the leader -of the Junior Sparkplugs during next year's sea- :SOIL This year was the first time many of the boys ever had a basketball in their hands, but under the able direction of Coach Sallee. many of these boys will turn out to be future Speedway varsity players. junior High basketball is the stepping stone to success in turning out good high school teams. Our school is fortunate to be one of the few Marion County schools to sponsor Junior High basketball. Junior High boys who participated in basket- ball this year were: Etter, DeMoss, Guion, D. Kaufman, B, Ellis, G. Gibson, F. VVingert, D. Crawford, D. Bledsoe, K. Vincent, D. Mason, G. Iindres. G. Seymour, R. Leeke, H. Kuyken- dall, R. Stewart, G. Vance, J. Scott, R. Hughes. D. Thomas, J. Nadolny, T. Sutherland, B. Bene- Hel. and R. Bland. In future years, many of these boys will credit Junior High basketball as the first step in their success in the hardwood sport. Attention-the first I For the first time in our school history, boys other than the squad participated in basketball. Of course it was not in competition with other schools. This was called Intramural Basketball. The league consisted of five teams, four of which played every Monday night. The fans took to this rather well, although the crowds were not as large as was wanted. VVagner's jPC's, consisting of seven boys, took the championship for the '45-'46 season. XVagner was high point man for his team with Burton as rnnnerup. Ont of six games the JPC's lost only one. This gave them an average of 833. The team was made up of three seniors and four freshmen. The Iron Five, captained by Bob Hanen, was a little rusty when it came to dropping the ball through the hoop. .-'X pretty drastic season was experienced by these seven boys with one win out of six games, although most of their games were dropped by very close margins. Running a close second to VVagner's jPC's, was lNarren's Spartans Gene, one of the two seniors on the team, led in the score building, and was helped by tive other teammatesg one junior, two sophomores, and two freslnnen. The Spar- tans had a fairly good season with two losses out of six. Five losses and no wins was the record of Oslos' Panthers. l3ob's team did not get to play in the finals because of their cellar position in the league. Humphreys was high point man for the Panthers. Une Junior, one senior, and five fresh- nwen made up this unlucky team. Tied for second place with the Spartans was Carter's liilrov Kids. His team also lost two out of six games. One defeat was handed to him by the Spartans: and the other by the IPCS. The eight boys who made up the Kilroy Kids' power and steam were six sophomores, one freshman. and one junior. .X 'Lia fs. fl' s l3o.tom Row: Thorpe lmgrj, Tsareff, Cassaday, lifcher, Burton, Arnold, B.

This game cost us two casualties. Bob Harrah lost two teeth on the first play of the game and Bob VN'ilson was hauled off the gridiron with a broken ankle in the second quarter. Our winning luck held good in the Decatur Central game as the final quarter ended 14-12, Speedway. Dick Becher starred in this contest by scoring both of the Sparkplug's touchdowns. Charles Sutphin and -lim Crumley scored the extra points. The journey to Lawrence proved fatal as the Bears trounced us, 20-7. This game was the first of three consecutive defeats. The next in line to run over us was the Deaf School. .-Xlthough Richard Becher scored on a long pass from Jim Kelley early in the game, the Silent Hoosiers came back to score a decisive 20-6 victory over the Sparkplugs. A The Plainfield game was the last defeat of the season for Speedway. Our team was battered into a 16-7 defeat by the plunging Quakers. Seven seemed to be our unlucky number as we invaded Beech Grove. All superstition was cleared away as we left with a 7-6 victory on our shoul- ders. This didn't make the Orange and Black followers feel any too good for they had us tagged for easy picking. Many students considered the Beech Grove game as the best contest of the sea- son. VVe evened a little grudge with Pike Twp. for a defeat we gathered from them in 1945. Our victory of 26-0 was excellent revenge for the 1946 Sparkplugs and a fitting way in which to end the season. Speedway's Reserves played two games during the year. Their foes were the XVarren Central and Franklin Twp. reserves. Vllarren Central thumpecl the future Sparkplugs 13-O. liill Roberts and Dave Boyer provided the spark as our reserves beat Franklin Twp. 13-6 in the last encounter of the season. l Y 1. 437 Gang' 74066 - v Coach Ralph johnson turned out eighteen lettermen in the 1946 season. Of these, twelve were linemen and six were backfield men. jim Crumley took over Bob XVilson's left end position when S r the latter was injured in the Greenwood game. Crumley and ' Charles Sutphin performed capably at their end posts during the RAW N., season. The tackle positions were fortified by john Humphreys ' Lg and Wayne Arnold. XV hen Arnold was injured in the Plainfield game, his right tackle spot was taken care of by Dick Burton and , jack Fulton. Speedway's guards were Bob Kuykendall and Bob 5 1 J Y Logue. The center of the line was bolstered by Bob Cassaday, who, 575 ,U incidentally, was carried oifthe field four times during the season. Fa' . . I Bob Hanen and Russ Flock proved their worth for the Sparkplugs, scoring 31 points in the seven by gaining starting positions for the Lawrence Central game. Hanen suffered a shoulder injury in this game which forced him from the following two contests. Cassaday and Logue gained posi- tions on the Mid-State All-Conference team. Speedway's team was led by All-Conference quarterback jim Kelley. At the halfback positions were Dick Becher and Bob Harrah with Bob Oslos assisting at fullback. Gene Tsareff and Bill Roberts also alternated at the halfback posts. Dick Becher was the spark game season. Bob Harrah excelled in blocking for the Plugs while Bill Roberts was noted for his passing ability. Bob Oslos and Gene Tsareif spearheaded the Speedway running attack during the Beech Grove game with jim Kelley starring in the passing role. All of these boys worked hard and faithfully during the season to receive their football letters. Seven of these lettermen will return for the foot- ball season next year. ,'.. .l-.

They were: Glenn Amos, XN'ayne Arnold, Paul Daupert, Bob Hanen, Bob Harrah, John Humphreys, Halena New- some, joan Praed, Gene VVarren, Jerry lN'ilson, Bob VVilson, and John Zeiher. Let us liken them to the foundation strokes of an artist's sketch upon which the finished picture is built. As our class progressed through the grade school years. new strokes were added in the persons of Bill Cramer, .loan Gaddis, jim Kelley, Norma King, Charles Langwell, Pat Heaton, Eugene Tsareff. and Clyde Clev- inger. Years passed by and we were ready for junior High School and a touch of color in our picture by way of activities. Our class was organized for the first time, with Mr. Virgil Miller as our sponsor and Mary Ellen Baird as president. VVe chose -lim Kelley for vice-president, john Humphreys for secretary, and Joan Praed for treasurer. As the brush swept over our picture, Marian Bruce, joan Mason, and Albert VVagner were left with us. VVC held our class party at the Speedway Roller Rink. More strokes and colors were added dur- ing our second year of Junior High. Glenn Amos was elected class president. He was supported by Eugene Tsarefif as vice-presi- dnt, Bob Harrah as secretary, and Bob VVil- son as treasurer. with Miss Agnes Spencer as sponsor. Our class party this year was held at Miss Spencer's home after our grad- uation from the eighth grade. Our new class member was Anna Marie Thompson. As our Freshman year opened in Sep- tember, 1942, our sketch began to take on much added color for now we were really in High School. VVe re-elected Miss Spencer as sponsor. with Jerry XVilson, president: Bill Cramer, his assistant: Bob Harrah. keeping our records: and Joan Gaddis, fi- nancial adviser, leading the class over the rough road. The brush again passed over and added to our ever-improving picture Bob Cassaday, Dick Burton. Dick Becher. Clona Basch, and Carolyn Bennett. A party at Riverside Amusement Park proved a gay carried away in the Sophomore year when splash of color on the canvas. The first real honors for our class were Marian Bruce was a runner-up in the school's junior Championship Typing Con- test and john Humphreys was the first boy to become student manager while a Sopho- more. As class leaders this year we chose Glenn Amos, presidentg jerry VVilson, vic- presidentg Bob Harrah, secretary: Bob Cas- saday, treasurer: and Mr. Lincoln Northcott. sponsor. During our Junior year the finishing strokes were added to our picture when -lsopehine Boner, Russell Flock, and Jane VVagle joined us. jim Kelley presided at our meetings with the assistance oi Bill Cramer, while Clona Basch took the minutes and Bob Harrah signed the checks. This year higher honors were won for our class when Marian Bruce achieved first place in typing at the State Commercial Contest and second place in shorthand. Clona Basch and Josephine Boner also placed among the first seven in the typing division, This year Ioan Gaddis won first division in singing at the State Solo K Ensemble Contest and jane XVagle reigned as Queen at the annual FBT Hop. Dick Becher attained the Lions Club Basketball Plaque for Improvement. In Oc- tober we presented The Right Mr. VVright as our Junior play and November brought our Harvest Moon Dance. In May we entertained the Seniors at the Antlers Hotel for the annual Junior-Senior Reception. During our Senior year we lost Paul Daupert and Charles Langwell to Uncle Sam. Wle held over Jim Kelley, Bill Cramer, and Mr. Troth in their former offices and chose Marian Bruce and Russell Flock as the new secretary and treasurer, respective- ly. XVe no longer had a Pat Heaton in our class for she changed her name to Mrs. Jess Morgan. NV e listened to the voices of Hed- da Mason and Gabriel Amos when Joan and Glenn broadcast almost every Saturday on Radio News Guild. Clona Basch and Jane Wlagle brought additional fame to us as Drum Major and Cheer Leader, respec- tively, and Bob Cassaday won not only the coveted Blase Award, but also the foul shooting trophy. Our class play, Senior dance, SPEEDETTE, and Animal all help- ed to make this, our last year, a very event- ful one. Now our picture is complete. XVe know we have no Raphael or Rembrandt but, to us, it has meant twelve years of hard work. Wie only hope that our successors will find as much pleasure in painting their picture as we have found in ours. TOAN PRAED, Historian Jima GLENN Amos- Li'1 Abner Idleness is an appendix to nobility.

Signed, ' BILL CRAMER, VVill-maker. Wiitnesses : Boa IQUYKENDALL JOYCE XYILLIAMS GEM Paaphecuf I am not going to doll this up fancy or use any big words that some of you juniors would not understand. I am going to tell it to you as I received it from the Solar Plexis. You and I are going to take a little journey into the land of tomorrow and see what we fthe Seniorsj will be doing in nineteen hundred and fifty-six. The first person we stumble across is Dr, Eugene Tsareiif with a clothes pin on his nose, examining ,Ioan Masons feet, as Mason calmly sketches a profile of Dick Burton who is busy washing the windows in Gene's office. I ran across a good used car the other day and expected to get a good bargain on it, but who should be the boss and salesman but the guy with the long line, Bob Cassaday. So I gave up and bought a bicycle. At this point we come to a 500 mile race right here in our own race land, and we find in pole position that daring reckless, breath- taking, six time winner, Paul Daupert. In the box seat right across from the finish line is General Charles G. Langwell in his gold braid and brass buttons. He has just sent his orderly, Dick Becher, for a glass of H20 which Dick achieved, BUT on the way back Becher runs into an old classmate, Jane VVagle, who has a concession stand, and this makes us think that Charles is going to be thirsty for some time. Elma P VVhile we are on the subject of sports. we find that the new heavy-weight champion of the world is none other than john Zeiher. another classmate of ours. Let me hand you a little yarn on this Praed gal. She runs the neatest little Tea Room in the business, and she has made such a go of it in the last five years that now she has nine of them spread out all over the country. Her General Manager is that fiery red head, Norma My Cow King. .-Xlso, by the way, her cook and dish washer are Halena Newsome and Clona Basch, re- spectively. Did you read in the paper the other night about that mad scientist who is working on an invention that is a whole lot more power- ful than the A-bomb? Can you guess who we found it to be? I couldn't believe it either until I read it over twice. It was that great 'matlrematician and scientist, john Humphreys. XYell, I'll be . . . Oops, maybe we shouldn't have looked in here, for we find secretary Marian Bruce jumping up from the lap of the boss and picking blonde hairs off his lapel. lt's 12:00 noon and there goes Glenn Amos to work. He is working afternoons only. because he couldn't even get to school in the mornings. just about here we sneak up on jerry lYilson, an extensive traveler who is nursing callouses from riding the rods. and who is trying to bum dough off Bill Cramer, ath- letic director and football coach of a well known college. After all, Bill, we were classmates, jerry alibis. In the lap of luxury we find millionaire Kelley calmly sitting in his overstuffed swiv- el chair in back of his waterfall desk. in his luxurious oflice, with his feet cocked upon his desk. drooling over a copy of Forever Amber. XYe hurry to the wharf at the edge of the ocean just in time to see Carolyn Bennett start off in her rowboat to follow her hus- band half way around the world. By the way, her husband is a lieutenant in the navy. Can you guess who it is? The streamlined house that most of you will pass on your way to school in ten years will be built by Bob Harrah, engineer and designer. He is working on a new model which will include a garage under this house, reached only by an elevator, the car to be turned around at night on a turn-stile. All is operated by atomic energy. In his spare time, Harrah competes with Harry james on the trumpet. Back in 1946 Bob Hanen was voted the one most likely to succeed in the Senior class, and we see that he did. Bob is now in charge of his own filling station. It sort of runs in the family. To add to his business he hired Josephine Boner and -loan Gaddis to attract the male customers. They greet you with a smile and a wink and before you know it, you are in hock'i over your head. Hubba! Hubba! If you would take a close look at that Ayres Buyer over there, you would see that she is a graduate of '46. She is one of the most famous in the country and it is just who you thought it was, Ellen Finnerty. lVhile viewing our passing parade, you see Pat Morgan. There isn't much we can say about Pat Morgan, for her future was set before she left school. Yep! She is just a good old housewife. We have a couple of boys in our class who just love school so much they couldn't tear themselves away. For we see Bob VV il- son and Gene Wfarren, old and gray-headed, receiving help from Anna Thompson in the library so they can pass their Sophomore English Test. In 1946 Clyde Clevinger went to Florida and found a job down there. Now I find out that he is running a booming Casino and night spot that is just ideal to take NVayne .Xrnold for all he has. VVayne is earning money to go to college this way. Some of you may not believe this, one person in particular won't, but we find Rus- sell Flock bouncing twin boys on his knees while his wife is outside fixing a flat tire. It is here that we take the other fork and leave you to return to school in the fall. XV e realize that by 1956 you will have forgotten all about us, but we will always have fond memories of the good and had times we have shared with you in the good old alma- mater. Thank you. 1946 Class Prophet AL XVAGNER Um ' -- Ia Imam Back Row: Mr. Trosky, sponsor, Bill McKay, Bob Farley, Harold Black, Bob Oslos, Bob Kuykendall, Sonny Sutphin, Bob Logue, Dale Vincent, Fred Hoerger, Jack Fulton.

Here we have them-the Juniors who are all ready to take our place as Seniors. VVe're proud to give them our Senior dignity. Boasting some super football heroes, also making their names known in basketball and track, the males are right in there pitching. One boy, Jim Cherry, is now serving Uncle Sam, Orchids to them for produc- ing a swell play and for being a grand bunch of guys and gals. XVhat's next? The Sophomores, of course. This bundle of fun and good spirits has definitely made its presence known throughout the year. XVith two yell-leaders, Jo-Anne Basey and Katie Hea- ton, two varsity basketball players, Bill Roberts and Jim Crumley, three drum niajorettes. and numerous members of the football and track squads, the class has been a prominent one in all student activity, Heres hoping that they can keep up the good work. Can it be true? Yep, those chillun' are the same green youngsters who entered our portals as Freshmen last September. We can hardly believe our eyes as we see the athletes they've produced. They even boast a yell-leader and majorette. Some gang. and it looks as if they'll be able to handle their Sophomore status of next year with the same ease. Go to it, Freshies! You've got what it takes. h r Now comesjr the Junior High and those who will join us as Freshmen next year. Wie hope that they will have as many good times as we have had, Get in there and pitch!

The time finally came when the graduating class of 1946 had to decide whether or not to have an annual to keep up the tradition of Speedway High School. An unanimous vote in favor of an annual proved that the class really had a working streak in them. To start ot? right. the annual staff had to be elected. Then gradually the annual began to fill a more prominent place in our minds. Ramos-Porter studio was chosen to take senior pictures and other school pictures. The subscription sales started off with a bang with a skit given by four members of the class. The businessmen of Speedway and elsewhere were swamped by eager fellows and girls trying to get ads. XY hen the annual was at last sent to the printers, the class could sit back and sigh in happy relief because they knew there could be none finer. liditor-in-Chief .....
