V i in t if . r 7 , DEDICATIO Realizing' how much past graduates have had to do with the physical and mental growth of todays high school and realizing' how much responsibility rests upon the shoulders of future generations for the maintenance of high standards of education and character, we, the Senior class of 1948. dedicate this, our annual, to past, present, and future generations of Speedway students. . From the time when the very lirst student entered Speedway High School, our school has been a symbol of education, sportsmanship, and friendship. It has be- come a place filled with traditions and ideas: it has become a mold from which good American citizens are formed. XVith the passing' of each year new students will take their places within the sacred halls of S.H.S. Their task will be a big one for they must guard the ideas of the past and build new and better ones for the future. As our school grows physically, so we hope that it will grow in mental and moral stature. --And o It Went-- September 3, 1947-School begins-For the Sen- iors, the beginning of the last mile.

ALICE BLIN Board President Board Treasurer Board Secretary School Secretary ''.-Xdministrators,H you read, Sounds like a nice easy job. -but just a minute is it really as easy as it sounds? This task of running our school is really a form- idable one: it is an undertaking involving conscientious effort, patience, foresight administrative ability, tact, keenness, and a degree of humor. .Xn administratons job demands his full time attention through all the year. Dur- ing the summer there are plans for the coming year to he made, schedules to he worked out, new teachers to he hired, working permits to he issued and a thousand and one other jobs-some being small, yet others large. During the school year our administrators find themselves constantly caught in a deluge of details. They do everything from drafting the annual budget to settling disputes between johnny jones and Tommy Smith. But all these tasks are really just small ones, for the main duty of these men is to see that the children under their authority receive not just an education hut that they receive the best education pos- sible-an education which will help the youth of Speedway grow up into line, straight, upright citizens. As Alexander Pope so aptly put it: 'T is education forms the com- mon mindg just as the twig is bent the tree's inclinedf, -V These men and women of Speedway who act as the governing boards of our school have a grave responsibility upon their shoulders-the making of good Amer- ican citizens. They have done their job well and deserve our appreciation for a task conscientiously done. N. D. CORY RICHARD C. JORDAN LINCOLN NORTHCOTT MRS.

HELEN KOPESKY MISS AGNES SPENCER CHARLES NAY MISS BETTY MOORE CLYDE SALLEE MISS THELMA STOUT WE CAN EVER FORGET . . . Forget our f?culty? XYe never could--nor would we want to. After being their students, we've come to know them quite well. Each individual teacher leaves his mark of learning upon us. XYay back when Mr. Johnson had us in General Science, bet he never dreamed he'd have several star football players out of our bunch, Those few of us who won't remember Mr. Johnson as :i coach. will certainly remember him as our Refresher Math teacher. Mrs. Kopesky had the ill fortune to introduce us to higher math. Even though she worked us hard, her grand sense of humor will stay with us always, From the time we entered the Seventh Grade until the last issue of this year's SPEEDETTE was published-from the time she taught us spelling until she taught us jopirnalism, Miss Spencer always told us, Give credit where credit is due. Mr. Nay met only the bravest Seniors-those who survived Plane Geometry to struggle through Solid Geometry and Trig. Miss Moore, who joined the staff just this year, had only a few of us in classes. but we can never forget such an attractive teacher. Forget Mr. Sallee-the teacher who taught us to drive. the teacher who sacrificed his life for his duty? Never! Every time we wrap ourselves around a tele- phone pole: every time we drive into a train: every time we forget to signal-we'll remember our Sports- manlike Driving teacher and his warnings. VVhenever we hear a whole-hearted laugh, we will recall Miss Stout. The hardest year she ever lived was the year we were Juniors. Not only did she push us through junior Literature, but anyone who can make an actor out of a Junior deserves special recognition. MISS SUSAN KECKLER MRS. IDONA BOWERS LOUIS TROSKY LAXYRIENCE THOMPSON MISS MELVA SHULL FLOYD TROTH MISS ELIEANOR GREIER . . . . . O R FACULTY The Home lic. girls won't forget Miss Iieckler's teachings even though she left in March to tie the knot of holy matrimony. The rest of us will keep in nnind her Freshman Biology Classes. Mrs. Bowers saw little of us in our high school years. Only the more talented indulged in her advanced art clsases. but we will always keep in reinembrance our Junior High classes with this wonderful little teacher. Mr. Trosky had our boys in Industrial Arts for years and was our junior Class sponsor. Forget Klr. Trosky and the fun we had in our Junior year? You bet your life we won't. lNhile most teachers had their troubles, Mr. Thompson had more than his share. He tried to educate our fingers in the difficult tasks of typing, bookkeeping. and taking shorthand. Miss Shull picked out only our talented singers to soar thc choir to greater musical heights-nor will memory books omit their gay spring musicals. In our Senior year, we were introduced to a new physical education teacher, Miss Greer. VVe'll remember her for starting the Girls Athletic Association in Speedway and teaching us that athletics are important to girls, too. You know-it takes a good man to be Senior 513011- sor. good in more ways than one, so good in fact that we have two sponsors. Mr. Jordan, who taught us all we know about the functions of government, was the man we always sought when we needed advice about college or careers. A fter the SENIOR PROM, Mr. Troth, our other sponsor, could have been easily mis- taken for another Senior Cas he struggled out the door loaded down with palm treesj. As long as we live, we'l1 remember this tall, lanky chemistry wizard. Forget our faculty? VVho Wants to! A - rw? , . l REMEMBERI G: OUR CLASS HI TORY just as each stair climbed is a step nearer the top so has each year of school activity been a step nearer to our first goal of life. . Our strange and fabulous history dates back to September, 1936, when our mothers scrubbed our necks and ears and sent us to school toward our first step of achievement. lt was then that these ten members of our present class started their upward climb at Speedway: Marcheta Collins, .lanice Farley, Katie Heaton, Jean Lesman, Ethyl King, Pat Ludwig, Sara Parke, John Petraits, Al Such, and George Ziegelmueller. XV e were soon up to our necks in readini, 'writin', and 'rithmetic and be- fore we could realize it, we were ready to venture forth into the high school building. Under the guidance of Miss Hepperly we as seventh graders elected Delores Coelman our pres- ident. VVe survived our initiation into junior high by the eighth graders and ended our school year with a party at Riverside. Thus we had completed another step toward our then distant goal. The following year we elected Dick Musgrave as our presiding ofihcer and chose Miss Spencer as our ever capable sponsor. The highlight of the year occurred when we received our eighth gl ade diplomas and realized we were ready to enter the realms of the Upper Four. The fall of 44 found us starting our climb to become upper-classmen. Bob Ge ung was our president with Jim Crumley serving as his able assistant, Earl Gresham keeping ther minutes and Jean Lesman handling the money. VVe chose Miss Couch as our sponsor. Our class gained more honors as o-Anne Base ' and Katie Heaton were elected ell leaders and fellows of our class were 3 Y h members of the football and basketball teams. Wie held a Christmas party at the American Legion Hall and ended the 'ear with a artv at Riverside Park. 3 P . XVith our Freshman year behind us the pace quickened and we as Sophomores climbed toward our not now so distant goal. Again Bob Genung served as our president, Nancy Covell was our vice president, Jim Crumley our secretary. and Jack Ganzemiller collected the dues. This year Miss Bland was elected as our sponsor. Jim Crumley and Bill Roberts gained positions on the Varsity Basket- ball Squad to give us another feather in our cap. VVe ended the year with a skating party at a famil- iar place, Riverside. To start our Junior year off with a bang, we presented our hilarious play, Professor, How Could You! VV e followed up our stage production with the Autumn Prom and later in the year the fellows in athletics elected Nancy Covell to reign as queen at the annual F.B.T. Dance. lVith the end of our junior year in sight, plans fo-r the reception moved rapidly forward. VVe chose the Marott Hotel fo-r the Junior-Senior Reception and picked Bob Barton and his orchestra to furnish the music. As our leaders for this most busy year we chose M r. Trosky as sponsor, with Jack Ganzemiller as president, Duane Belcher his assistant, George Ziegelmueller keeping the records and Jean Lesman our treasurer. For this, our last and most important year in high school, we have chosen George Ziegelmueller to lead us with Jack Ganzemiller as our vice president, John Petraits to keep the minutes and Dick Harbison to handle the financial affairs. Mr. T1-oth acted as our advisor with Mr. Jordan as co-spon- sor. W'e are proud to know that our fellows had a hand in the winning of two County Champion- ships, and the sectionals for the first time in the history of the school, and the Football Mid-State Conference Cup. XYe look back now with satisfaction to our dance. play, annual, and SPEEDETTE. For a grand conclusion to our activities in high school the Juniors entertained us at the annual junior-Senior Reception. And now, as we look around and see the familiar faces of our school 'chums and ifamiliar sur- roundings, we have a feeling of regret in leaving old S.H.S. because there will be many happy memories left behind. Yet as one would glimpse the first rays of a beautiful sunrise coming over the horizon, thus we, the class of 48, get a glimpse of the future that lies ahead. T 4 i. . VVILL THE THINGS MOST DE R Here's our will and we hope it's all reet, NVith you swell people we've chanced to meet. VVe the Seniors of 48 do hereby declare and state Our last VVill and Testament and VVorldly Goods In the following manner that can be understood. ARTICLE I To the entire school we leave these traits, Spirit, sportsmanship, and willingness to cooperate. To the Faculty who've spent many a tiring day, Guiding us on our lifelong' way, VVe say farewell and a fond adieu. In our hearts we'll always remember you. ARTICLE II To the Juniors we leave our charm and good looks, And the knack of probing deep into the books. The Senior Bench is yours, I guess, So use it with pride and worthiness. Our friendship and loyalty goes to the Sophomores and Frosh, For you'll be future Seniors someday. Oh, my gosh! ARTICLE III Sandra Heston, Shirley Graesch, and Donna Thorne XV ill their Hirtatious manner, without scorn, To Donna Sarchett and Mary Lou Hoss, VVho'll make good secretaries for some wolfish boss. Pritchard, Ziegelmueller, Campion, and Bard VVill their knack of talking a blue streak To Etter, Hill, VVingert, and Guion VVho spout off until we're all weak! Nancy Covell, Janice Farley, and Katie Heaton VV ill their typewriters that oan't be beaten To Jane Kennedy, Ruth Robinson, and Margie McDaniels, VVho are as slow as you were buying your annuals. Dave Carter, Duane Belcher, and Bob Genung VVill their ability to have fun To all of you friends who lack that humorous way, Maybe you'll get it on your Senior Class Day. Delores Coleman, john Petraits, and Jack Ganzemiller VVill their smartness at Math to these two fellers George Seymour and Richard Leeke. IYith the answers they play Hide and Seek. Pat Craft, Pat Ludwig, and VVilma IVeaver, Wfill their immunity to the diamond ring fever, To all you girls who'1l eventually suffer, But just remember, times are getting rougher. Jim and Dave Crumley whom you all know, I'm sure, Will their brotherly feelings and love so pure To Duane and Al XYiechers who quibble all the timeg Dave and jim think this is just a crime. Sara Parke, Jean Lesman, Betty Keneipp, and Wilma Beck XVill their skill at the piano, by heck, To all you people who haven't a musical talent. just cheer up and be gallant. Dick Harbison and Denny Hughes XYill their artistic ability to all youse XVho can't draw a line or even trace. You're in a fix-better hide your face. jack Finnerty, Betty IVarrenfelt, and Rita Dyer Will their Driver's .Training books and attire To all you kids who'll have it next year. Be good to them, Mr. Sallee, you Sweet Little Dear. Bud Chambmers, Dick Musgrave, Al Such, and Phil Brumley VVill their wicked driving technique very humbly To Don Crawford and Ronny Bland, XVho seem to have the situation well in hand. Howard Roberts and Gordon Beck Will their influence in choir without regret To Bill Mugg and J im DeMoss, Who'd like very much to be the boss. Ethyl King, Marcheta Collins, and Phyllis Flinn VV ill their luck at having men To all you girls who have no malemateg Just keep trying, you might finagle a date. In the testimony above freely bestowed, We willed our most precious possessions And on this 20th day of May in the year of 1948 VVe say goodbye to our heirs, friends and old school mates.

Gunville, Texas May ll. 1975 Dr. Harmon Otis Pritchard Director of Tree Surgery XYashington, D.C, Dear I'ritch : I take this opportunity to write you regarding our class reunion commemorating our twenty-fifth anniver- sary since graduation from S.H.S. I hope all the old gang can be present, don't you? I remember your inquiry concerning all the old grads of '48, So, becoming interested myself, I did a little investigating. You surely remember our old pal Leo', Crumley, don't you ? XYell, Leo is now head coach of the Koko- mo IVildcats. Now, I'm not saying they will go to the State this year but Leo has already made reservations for his boys at the Claypool Hotel. I just guess they're confident. that's all, Dave. his brother, is in partnership with :Xl Such and ,lack Finnerty. They test and repair automobiles for various manufacturing concerns. Dave and jack boast they both have yet to find a car that will withstand the rigorous test they give it. lieep this quiet. but the secret fthey claimj is just to put the car through the same course that Clyde Sallee used to give in Driver Training back at school. They have run their business into a 350,000 enterprise in a short time. Bud Chambers keeps books for them. I guess they trust Bud, but they have him .bonded for 3100.000 anyway. You know Hob Genung certainly has done well for himself in his new drug store-drive inn. I-Ie calls it Genung's Super Apothe- cary. Home of the jumbo soda and brtfer bon bon. Betty XYarrenielt, along with Marcheta Collins and Ethyl King-if you could ever separate those two-used to work for him but they got tired of taking short orders and decided to get married, Now they're giving orders. long ones. Jovs TO BEHOLD These industrious gents, the Class Day officers, are the pride of the class of -IS. The Historian, john I'etraits, did a masterful job of delving into the deep dark past. Our Giftor- ian. jim Crumley, had that difficult task of select- ing appropriate gifts for the faculty. Vtfe hope they can't sue us for defamation of character. The Prophet. l-Kill Roberts. handled a hard piece of work by cleverly using his imagination. The class XX'ill-maker, Bob Genung, is the gentleman respon- sible for leaving our most treasured possessions to those who could best use them. Seated: Bill Roberts, Bob Genung. Standing: jim Crumlcy, John Joe Petraits. . . . . . Uur Future Thu Keith Campion and Bill Bard, aided by Donna Thorne, to add that subtle touch of femininity, have estab- lished a chemical research laboratory down here and are trying to do something entirely revolutionary. They're trying to put the atom back together. No one has too much confidence in them, but who knows, they may suc- ceed yet. That strange mixture of intellect, ingenuity, and beauty may be the answer. Phyllis Flinn and Nancy Covell currently occupy positions as chambermaids in Dick Musgrave's motel. This is only temporary, however, bec.ause they are just seeking background for a new book they intend to write, a sequel to Diary of a Chamber- maid. Dick seems to like this setup because it gives him time to go play the ponies at nearby Santa Anita. john joe Petraits is busy now with Dick, trying to perform some mathematical Wizardry whereby they can figure out the various odds and break the track but so far all they have is a handful of bogus betting stubs. john joe says he's still working on a secret formula that may prove successful. Say, jean Lesman really has a good job. She's secretary to George Ziegelmueller, an eminent attorney in New York City. She says George is so good he doesn't go to court, he just sends an opinion to the presiding judge and the case is settled. But recently a new set of judges was elected and the Ziegelmueller political machine in New York has been broken. It happened at a bad time too because jack Ganzemiller and Denny Hughes were clients of Georges in a case over the faulty construction of Empire State Bldg. No. 2. It seems the structure fell just three months after completion. jack and Denny both said they didn't know what went wrong and claimed the presence of a minor earthquake but nobody else in the city noticed it. Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you Benny Beck made the head-lines at the Stork Club the other night when his orchestra swung the Star-Spangled Banner to open the style show. Incidentally, Shirley Graesch was honored as the featured designer of the year. She was given an honorary award for the best conception of the old New Look that swept the country back about the time we were graduating. Sandra Heston, dean of models, present- ed her interpretation of how to grow old gracefully. Do you remember who Delores Coleman used to excel in basketball back at school? VV ell, she is now teaching physical education in Janice Farley's finishing school for young ladies. Betty Iieneipp is head of the music department in the school. Pat Craft and Pat Ludwig seemed to have had their future set if you remember the sparklers they were lugging around the halls of S.H.S. Yes, they married true to form. Wfilma NVE-aver is also filling out a joint income tax blank. C If that's beyond you juniors' comprehension. they're in a state of holy matrimonyj Yes, sh-e married too after she had a very successful career as a magazine cover designer. Dick Harbison is now employed as an artist for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as XN'alt Disney got a little careless around Leo the Lion. Duane Belcher and Phil Brumley are designers of those new rocket planes that you hear so much about now. Their ideas on aviation are completely baffiing former ex- perts, but Duane and Phil aren't worrying too much. W'hy, Phil personally told me that if they got the pla.ne built and in the air, surely the pilot could land it. Dave Carter is making a lot of money off their novel idea of plane designing. You see, Dave sells insurance to the hapless pilots who take the planes up. By the way, did you know I had a tonsilectomy? I was wheeled into the operating room, I looked up and who should be standing over me with wicked gleams in their eyes but Rita Dyer and Sara Parke! I didn't worry too much, thought, 'cause I thought I had always been quite a good friend of both of them. :Xmbling down the street the other day, what did I see but three girls out in the yard practicing yells and their mother giving directions. Immediately I realized it was Katie Heaton. Remember how faithful she was when she was in high school?

Hoping to see you back at S.H.S. on May 28, providing I can catch a fast freight north, I remain, Your classmate, Howard Roberts. FJ REMEMBERI G o R PALS, THE JU ICRG I The class of '49 started their junior year of the Atomic Era with a big BANG-Yes, we're speaking of their stupendous production, Gabriel, Blow Your Horn. This play about easy-going people was really representative of the care-f ree nature of all the Juniors. T This class with all the pep and vigor of a football team immediately plunged into their next triumph- The Mardi Gras. Their Junior Dance stirred up the French blood in us all with the gay music' of the Cathedral High School Swing Band and the brightly colored balloons floating from the crepegpaper ceiling at an unexpected moment. Besides making a fortune on their play, the Juniors soon became candy kings and sold candy and ice cream, making a profit of sixty dollars. The governing council of the school has four Juniors giving forth with brilliant ideasjjack Mayhugh, who is Sergeant-at-Arms, and Louie Senter represent the Junior Class in the Student Council. Lucius Pom- peius Vincens fPat Thompson to those of you who do not speak the languagej represents ourg only foreigners in the school. members of the Latin Club. As representative of the F.B.L.A., Marilyn Sea 'les brings that Club's plans before the Council. I In the glamour department the Junior Class has three high-stepping majorettes. Evelyn utphin, Norma Sauer. and Charlene Stevens strut before the band, helping to win honors for our school. The Juniors also have eight other band students who have talent in this musical line. The Juniors have twenty-three canary- throated voices in the High School Choir. They comprise almost Hfty per cent of this gifted organization of singers. Several of this group helped bring home first division awards from the District and,State Solo and Ensemble Contests. junior Choristers who lend their melodious voices to the group of Madrigal Singers are: Marilyn Farley and Hobby Owings, altos: Marilyn Searles, sopranog Jim Martin and Dick Anderson, tenors. . This class proves its versatility by being represented in every school club. As president of the Dramatic Club. Norma Sauer with Junior officers, Pat Thompson, treasurer, and Charlene Stevens, secretary, and other members of the club. presented for the student's entertainment Christmas in Her Eyes. Pat is also secretary of the F .l3.l...'X. In the Homemaking Department Marilyn Farley is vice president- of the Fl-LA. Chapter: Barbara Morgan is Parliamentarian Cexpert on rules to those who aren't up on the latest lingoj and Nancy Frosch is Recorder. Susie Pearce is well-known for her radio speaking voicel in the Debate Club. She has won several honors for the school as well as for herself. Norma Sauer. a veteran cheer leader for four years, really does her part in cheering the teams on to victory. Since Pat Bender and Louie Senter are on the office force. running errands, the Juniors have first hand information on all school affairs. The juniors boast nine gridiron heroes without whom Speedway's atomic football team ,could not have placed nmnber one in the County. On the varsity basketball team five of the Junior fellows helped place laur- els at Speedway's feet as the Sparkplugs started 1948 by winning the title of County Champs in the Hoosier hysteria. basketball. Also three players, who are likely to be future stars, are sporting their athletic ability on the second string. Dick Hartley. also a junior, is the track team's shot-put man. Even though the juniors joked that they would serve the Seniors cokes in Cramer's basement, they did a bang-up job on their Junior-Senior Reception. They worked like jet propulsion and soon had the Seniors way up on the roof of the Severin Hotel, dining and dancing on the terrace. The Juniors engaged a super band forthe musical part of this all-important evening when all girls are beautiful and gracious and all fellows a1'e handsome and charming. ' VV ith Hill Long as their competent president and Mr. Trosky their sponsor, the Juniors had big plans for their next to most important year. From their entertaining play in October to their elegant banquet and dreamy dance at the Junior-Senior Reception in May, the Juniors had what anyone would call a really wonderful year. Only those who are members of this outstanding class know how much fun they had during their junior year at Speedway High School. . . . ., .

CLASS OF 1950 The class of 1950, with Captain Ray Stewart and Coach Stout, have eagerly overcome the handicaps and enjoyed the activities of their regional year and will wade into semi-final play in the fall. Others elected to main positions on their team this season were .lack Fuller, assistant cap- tain: Beverly Myers, scorekeeper: and Julian Livingston, ticket Qand moneyj taker. Charles Martin and jane Kennedy acted as student managers by serving on the Council. A big game for the Team of 1950 this year was the LEAP YEAR LEAP, a super rug-cut- ting party Q dance, to the creeps in the crowdj, sponsored by the Sophoniores after the VVarren Central game, january 23, The members of this team, energetic and vivacious, are known for their ability to have fun, which has been shown by their frequent class parties, and for having many high- point men always appearing on the scoreboard of the 5.1-1.5. honor roll. They not only have in their ranks outstanding athletes, but are well represented by active members in the high school band, choir, and various other activities. Music hath charms and so does this class-one of their charming females was elected cheer leader for her first year. This is not Marilyn Smith's only talent either, for she helped take care of things over in the school office during fifth periods while jane Kennedy, one of her class pals, slaved away over there during fourth hours. Betty Engle w:ts one of Miss Stout's library forwards, along with Beverly Myers, Barbara Gwinn, Sandra Longs, julian Livingston, and Barbara Patterson. Betty Engle and Ruth Robinson carry on for the Sophs in the Debate Club. The Latin Club, the Dramatic Club, as well as the F.H.A. and Hi-Y, claim many active members from this class. Jane Kennedy, Pauline Parke. and Ruth Robinson were candidates from the F.B.l..A. for the Athletic Queen. Jane was the lucky, lucky girl who reigned on the F.B.T. throne. Some of the weaker sex as well as the stronger Qwe won't debate which is whichj represent our buddies, the Sophs, in the solid sending organizations of S.H.S. David Thomas and Margie Mcllaniels get on the beat with the Drum Ensemble of the band and 'Pauline Parke gives out with the saxophone quartet. CRumors have it that Ronnie Bland is alreet with a sax. too.j Charlie Martin, that big oompa player in the band, can also stretch his vocal cords when he has to Cand that seems to be all the timej, for he is a member of the Choir Madrigal group and the boys' Octette. Dick Kaufman joins Charlie in both groups, making the choir twicc as good, naturally. Phyllis Brown in the Girls' Trio, Beverly Myers in the Madrigal group, and Mary Austermiller Cwho can, by the way, really make music on a typewriter tooj in the Girls' Sextet, helped those groups come through with a first division in the contest this year. Bob Coughlin tyou remember him as Mercury, the speed king, don't you?j and Johnny Guion, another lively Soph, help bolster the cornet section of the band. :X foul against fate occurred as a time out was called for the team, about the middle of February, when Jack Fuller broke his ankle. Ray Stewart, president of his class, an honor student, a top clarinet man in the band, and a skilled basketball player, proved his ability on the varsity five even though he didn't get to play until mid-season due to an arm injury. Little, but mighty, were the football players from this class of 1950 as with their energetic spirit, they helped the Sparkies win the County and Mid-State Championships. Ronny Bland came through with the honor of earning a football letter in his Sophomore year and also received Honorable Mention on the all Mid-State Football Team. Not to be forgotten are those who slaved on the track team. Dave Ledhetter led the Sophomore boys in this event. The boys, however, aren't the only ones who came through with top athletic honors, for the girls of this class captured the coveted Girls' Inter-Class Basketball Tourney title from the Seniors in the final game. , So we present to you the team of 1950 -may they achieve their many goals and come through the finals with top trophy honors in the tourney of higher education, OUR FRIE DS, THE FRO H . . In the fall of '47 this class began its first lap around the track of higher education. With Fred XN'ingert in the front car and Barbara Richards tailing him, the class got ofi' to a smooth start. Nancy Heston kept the account of the first lap while XVanda .-Xrmentrout handled the finances. Yes, the Freshman class started their first high school year with a burst of speed. Their Pump- kin Polka, a juke-box dance held after a basketball game, was quite a success. Starting this year right found many of the class members joining numerous clubs. Among these more enthusiastic mem- bers Cynthia Campbell and -lim Breen were elected reporters for the Debate Club. Cynthia was also elected Scriptor of the Latin Club. On Student Council meeting days George Vance and Tom Suth- erland were found voicing their opinions along with the rest of the council. Helping hir. Jordan with a great deal of work in the ofiice were Sue C rumley and Cynthia Campbell. Shelving and stamping books in the library, under Miss Stout's direction. could be found Iileanor Garnier. I orma Hackle- man, and Rosemary Doran. l Some of the more musically minded individuals found their way into the High School Hand and Choir. Under Miss Shull's direction, John Nadolny, jim Delloss, and George Vance lend their vocal talents to the newly organized Boys' Octette which participated in both the elimination and the final solo and ensemble contests in February. .-Xt dramatics these freshmen were the tops. Dee Covell and Nancy Heston presented their talents in the Dramatics Club play. Christmas In Her Eyes. in which they portrayed two high school girls in a small town. In the Latin club play prese itcd for convocation, jim DeMoss played the God of Love, Cupid: John Nadolny played Apollo. Col of the Sun: and George Vance played Hercules, God of Strength. Both plays were greatly added to by these talented freshmen. In the Sports Department these freshmen really excelled. Some of the fellows pla 'ed both varsity football and basketball. This class also had a cheer ltader to represent them. Dee C vell, going out for her first time as a Varsity Cheerleader, deserves a round of applause for the excellent job she did all year. Harold liuykendall deserves praise fir the outstanding job he has doiie for his first year of varsity football and basketball. Harold really knocked 'em dead on the gTidiron and cer- tainly played admirable ball on the hardwood. The Freshman basketball team after a very successful season won their Freshman tourney. liach member of this fine team contributed to their success and all are equally proud of the tourney trophy present acl to them. I This class has had a splendid year full of wonderful memories. The Freshman initiation. their new club activities. all the new friends they made, basketball and football heroes. meeting at Nadol- ny's faithfully after each game, school dances, are only a few of the unforgetable events that took place. Also there are probably many things only individuals will remember. That first thrill of mak- ing a basket or a touchdown in a real game, that first heartthrob, that tirst office held in the class that coke at Eclclie's after a hard day at school, the day you found your name in the school paper, and many more. Freshmen, here's hoping that your second lap of education will be just as successful and prom- ising as your first and while completing this lap you have just as competent a carload of leaders and just as good a time,-so when the checkered flag is waving for you, you can look back with pride and say, I was a member of the class of '51.

'Sli' 'T' MSW' 3' Mu i , Maestro The Speedway High School Hand. one of the oldest organizations in the school, has continued its won- derful record, this year, for top performances, after taking the highest honors in last year's contests with the sweepstakestrophy inthe district and first divisions in the state also. Under the ahle direction of Mr. Lincoln Northcott. who has heen the maestro for the past ten years, the hand has heen huilt up to the splendid organization it is today. The hand tr.aveled to Chicago last August to the liighteenth .Xnnual Chicago-land Music Festival Na- tional Band Contest .playing at the Lakeshore .Xthletic Cluh, participated in the Festival at Soldiers' Field, and spent an enjoyahle weekend there. staying at the Harrison Hotel. .Xppearances at home games. the Decatur Central Hand Clinic, participation in the state solo and en- semhle contest, and requested concerts all over the county were other highlights for this year's organization, ranked among leading high school hands. The marching hand ,led hy Major Jack tlanzemiller and the five majorettes, has also shown its keen ahilities for fancy stepping and playing. The hand journeyed to Plainfield, ,-'Xpril 3, for the District Band Contest and, again winning a first divi- sion, went on to the state contest which was held at Danville. The Speedway hand has heen especially lucky in having the wonderful hacking of all the parents of the hand memhers hesides many other citizens of the community and the hand is never seen, no matter how far from home, without these faithful fans helping in the hackground. Losing only a very few seniors in '47, the band will have twenty niemhers in the graduating class of '-18. many of whom have grown up with the hand since their early grade school years. Rita Dyer, the faithful lihrarian and a senior, has helped Mr. Northcott with one of his most hurdensome worries--that of keeping the multitude of music in order. Rita also, along with Klelha Harlan, is a flag hearer for the marching hand. The personnel of the hand is: Soprano Clarinets-lfhyllis Flinn, Shirlev tiraesch, Sara Parke. Clinton Hawkins.

Magic Melodies The Speedway .High School Choir has as usual been very busy this year, The days they weren't meeting regularly, special groups were perfecting their musical tones on the stage or in after school sessions. These songsters started the year with the State Choral Festival in October. Groups from high schools all over the state assembled to blend their voices in song. Don Craig. from Fred XVaring's orchestra, directed 1000 of these students to musical heights at the Cadle Tabernacle in the Final program. The month of December found the choir and its various groups relaying the Christmas message over the radio, at the Lincoln Hotel, on the Monument Circle, and to many Speedway residents. They also furnished background music for the Speech Class presentation of the playlet, XYhy the Chimes Rang, at the yuletide convo. This year's business meetings were conducted by Bill Roberts or in his absence, Gordon Beck, Charlene Stevens recorded the minutes while Sue Pearce took care of finances. Miriam Farley assisted Bobbie Owings as librarian and Charlie Martin was the choir's publicity agent. Musical Memories, presented .-Xpril l, was the Choir's rendition of semi-classical music. This well- planned program proved to be one of the most outstanding student participation events of the year. Songs from the days of our forefathers to the more Modern Moods were featured by choir soloists. Beverly Myers, Charlie Martin, Bobbie Owings, George Vance. Janice Farley, Dick .-Xnderson, and Charlene Stevens: choir groups, Madrigal Singers, Girls' Trio, Girls' Sextet. and Boys' Chorus :and the choir as a whole, singing scores by such favorites as Friml. Foster, Romberg, Gershwin, and Berlin. The high notes this year were furnished by sopranos Yllilma Beck. Janice Farley, XN'ilma XYeaver, Bar- bara Butterworth, l'at Curtis. Armedia Fry, Marilyn Sea-rles, livelyn Sutphin, Charlene Stevens, Miriam Far- ley, Sondra Bilsky, Phyllis Brown, Beverlv Myers, Marilyn Smith, Mary Lou Brumley, and Pat Monce while the low notes were offered by basses Bill Roberts, ,lim Maners.

On Christmas morning, many children's faces turned from disillusionment to sparkling enchantment due to the hard work and thoughtfulness of the Speedway High School Hi-Y Club. The boys worked hard dur- ing school and at night to repair, paint, and completely make-over broken and old toys that were collected at school. Some toys were then delivered to those in Speedway who needed just a little something to make their Christmas a brighter one, while the remaining rebuilt toys were given to the Salvation Army. The boys, inter- class tourney was another activity sponsored by the Hi-Y. The trophy this year was awarded to the hard- fighting Junior Peons. In connection with Holy W'eek, one is usually reminded of the splendid and most reverent Easter convo presented by the Hi-Y each year.

Y-TEENS In some schools, the Y-Teens include high school girls. but in Speedway, this step has not been taken and only Junior High girls are eligible. The purpose of this organization is to promote good Christian charac- ter among young women. Thse girls, under the direction of their sponsor, Miss Melva Shull, participated in the sale of Christmas cards-the profits of which will go for the upkeep of the Y-Teens' summer camp. They also collected articles to be sold at the Y.VV .C A. Christmas Bazaar. The money received from this sale of goods went for world wide rehabilitation.

This was only the beginning though, and another of their numerous talents was sponsoring a very successful juke-box dance. the Frosty Frolic. after the Manual game. Naturally, being in the Home Economics classes, these lassies know how to cook-and how! They proved this by having two bake sales during the year right after school. And you had to get there but quick, if you 'wanted even a little sample of those luscious cupcakes. The highlight of the year for the F.H.:X. was the Mother and Daughter Butifet Dinner on March 24. They also had a small dinner party near the end of the year, honoring the seniors of the club. Grouped around the table are: Miss Keckler, Betty lieneipp. XVilma Beck, Marilyn Farley, Rita Dyer.

To help promote a better business world of tomorrow is the aim of the students of the commercial classes who make up the Future Business Leaders of America. By presenting honorary pins and certificates to the commercial class members for high achievements, this club has started the project for better business leaders right here in S.H.S. In order that many students may have access to .a typewriter after school hours, the F.B. I...-X. also purchased a new Royal typewriter to be rented overnight and weekends. The F.B.T. Dance, in honor of the athletes, has become bigger and better due to the efforts of this club. This year for the first time an orchestra was hired instead of using a juke box and the gym was dressed in proper yellow and gold attire. One of the trophies awarded at the dance was the Foul Shot award given by the F.B.L.A. The Ath- letic Queen is also chosen from candidates of this club.

EVER OUTSPCKE Losing three Senior members off the tirst team last year and with only one Senior member this year, the Debate Club started its season rather short of experienced debaters. This shortage of older members in the club has given the younger, more inexperienced debaters a chance to display their up and coming talents. Under the guidance of Miss Betty Moore, the new debate coach this year. the club has continued to get its name in the limelight as its members have carried on their numerous activities. .Xhnost as soon as school start- ed this year, colorful schedule pencils were seen tucked behind every student's ear. Basketball schedules ap- peared on pencils early in November-again these workers were on their toes. .Xrguments for and against the state debate question, Resolved that the Federal Government Should Require .Xrbitration Labor Disputes in all Basic ,'Xmeric'an Industries, were presented at convo by the negative team-George Ziegelmueller and Sue Pearce, and by the afhrmative team-Lou Senter and Jim Breen.

KEEP THE PRESSES RCLLI G Deadline today, Can you make it ? Oh, my gosh, the fellow who said, 'Time waits for no man' was certainly right. You have just read a brief description of what happens every week among the members of the Senior English class. Yes, these are the people who make it possible for you to read the SPEEDETTE and the An- nual. These guys and gals have worked extremely hard all year so you might enjoy their publications. Every day you c'ould Gnd members of the staFf who were digging up information for articles. Then the editors began planning the pages, editing the copy and producing a dummy tDon't worry. Wle don't mean you.j The production department deserves a great deal of credit: they have to cut the stencils, do the scope work. run the paper ot? on the mimeograph and count over four hundred copies of each page. After all this is finished, the newspapers have to be stapled. During the year we have published 14 regular issues of the paper plus four extras. Vile have had front covers on six of our issues and one back cover. VVe have used 24,803 pages of paper on which to print these issues: each page having an average of 635 words or an aver- age of 35,998 letters plus headlines. VV e have used over 6,029 staples to bind these issues together and have had innumerable headaches. In the back of Miss Spencer's room, you will find the headquarters of the morgue, circulation. and ex- change departments. These duties are not to be scoffed at for keeping track of all these papers requires a great deal of work. Our librarian keeps tab on articles and pictures appearing in other publications that have to do with residents of Speedway and other pictures, articles. or fillers that could be of interest or use. The distribution department, circulation, and exchange, is chietiy concerned with furnishing each student with a. paper and seeing that schools and people on the exchange list have a free SPEEDETTE. The really big job of the year is publishing the annual. lfntil you have taken part, you don't realize how much time. energy. and thought go into the makc up of your yearly SPEEDISTTE, Every person has his job to do--the editor works with his associates and plans the dummy which takes weeks of constant work. The art and photography editors work in close connection on their tasks. Especially are they helpful to one another on the mounting of pictures which is a very tedious job. The literary department supervises the writ- ing of all copy and gets information for various articles. The sports staff keeps accurate records of games, arranges for athletic pictures, plans the poses, and writes up all sports copy. To the business manager falls the task of handling all of the annual's financial matters and his two assistants, the advertising and subscription managers, must bring in the required amount of revenue by soliciting advertising space and by selling annuals. This job of producing the annual is, to all students, a very important one, but it is also a task requiring' continuous work and complete cooperation. The cooperation of the student body, the faculty, Porter National Studio fphotographersj, Indianapolis Engraving Co. fengraversj. Qualityprint tprinterj, and S. K. Smith fcoversj has been greatly appreciated. VV e would especially like to thank the Indianapolis Times, Nezw, and Star for the use of some of their photographs and we also gratefully thank the business and professional men of Speedway without whose help this annual would never have been a reality. Planning this annual has been a lot of work and lot of fun and all of us on the staff deeply hope that you will enjoy and treasure it as much as we know we shall. .Xnnual events at Speedway High School are the plays presented by the uppercalssmen. For the juniors. it's the last Tuesday in October: and the last Friday in .Xpril is reserved for the Seniors. Each year the selec- tion of plays becomes more difficult as each tries to out do their predecessors by finding something that is clifferent. but yet appeals to all ages-and to all members of the class and their coach. XYeeks of preparation are needed for the selection of the play. the casting, the practices, getting the proper costumes and stage props-just for one nights entertainment. The Seniors of '47 selected as their choice Miss jimmy with liob liuykendall climbing into the title role and also into a girls' dorm. The remainder of the play found him trying desperately to escape. Caryl Covell seemed to convince him, however, that his wasirt such a bad predicament after all, Janette Holder.

The Sparkplngs got oii' to a slow start against ltrownsburg in their opening game of the season, but defeated the Bulldogs by a 12 to 0 margin. The Speedway gridmen had to come from behind to hand the Danville XYarriors their only setback of the season. Fighting hard in the second half to overcome the 7 point lead Danville held, the Sparkies rallied to polish off an 18 to 7 final score. In the Decatur Central game the Sparkies made all of their total of 18 po-ints in the first half and had to stave off the fourth quarter attack of the Hawks, defeating them 18 to 12. .lourneying to Lawrence Central, the Sparkplugs had to face the toughest test of their season but were successful in downing the Bears in a hard fought battle 16 to 12. Speedway had easier sledding against Franklin Township and piled up the score until they had beaten the Flashes 46 to 7. The Plainfield Quakers managed to penetrate the Gold and Brown defense and scored late in the fourth quarter, but the Speedway varsity squad had already been successful in scoring five times before that to drub the Quakers 3-l to 7. clinching the Mid-State Championship title. The Spark- plugs gained sweet revenge by defeating the lieech Grove Hornets by a margin of 27 to 0. The Hor- nets were the only team to defeat the Sparkies in '-16. Pike Township was the team remaining between Speedway and an undefeated season, but the Red Devils couldn't withstand the Sprirkplugs' advance and fell by the wayside by virtue of a 5-l- to 6 final score. The Pike Township game was important in more than one respect, since its victory made the undefeated, untied. Speedway Sparkplugs, the 1947 Marion County Champs. The Indianapolis newspapers and Mid-State Conference officials honored six of Sparkie's players by placing them on the various All-Star teams. 1 liill Roberts. who received recognition for his outstanding ability to elude would-be tacklers, was chosen as ,Xll-County halfback, and also received a berth on the Mid-State Conference team. lionny King was chosen for the other halfback po '.'a ition on the All-County team because of his outstand- ing ability as a break-away runner.. Ted Lawson, Speedway's versatile and practically immovable tackle, held the left tackle position on the All-County first eleven. ' Charles Love, the Sparkplngs' hard charging right tackle, was given a tackle position on the .-Xll-Confer- ence team. H, O .Pritchard, who was noted for his sure tackling and play diagnoses on defense. was awarded the center spot on the All-County and Mid-State Conference teams. In addition he was given honorable mention on the All-State team. jim C rumley received his spot as end on the All-County te.am largely through his ability to stop around- end plays. and on pass receiving. jim also received honorable mention in the All-State selections.

To bring from the cheering crowd a rah ! Sparkie's Right End, Dave Boyer kicks off. Each one of these boys has his part to dog After the kick-off I'll start with Jack Mayhugh. He is Speedway's quarterback. VVhen passing the ball--nothing does he lack. To receive and complete these winning passes, Left End, Jim Crumley, knows his catches. Holding the ball, we have Pritchard as Center, To help win the game, his skill he will render. The Right and Left Guards are right on the beam, Wfithout Long and Bland we just wouldn't have a team. Love and Lawson stop opponents from scoring, As Right and Left Tackles, they keep the crowd roaring. Our Full-hack, Kirky, kicks the ball just fine, . Konny King, Left Half-back. carries the ball across the line, Capt. Roberts, Right Half-back, for teamwork is famous. These guys make football the great game that it is. The Coach, Ralph Johnson, keeps the team on the go, Subs and managers are also grid heroes. Rewards ot Hard Work From the first day of practice to the final gun of that last game of the season, a football coach strives for the perfection of his team, and so it is with Coach Ralph Johnson. VV ith the able assistance of Mr. Clyde Sallee, he has for two consecutive years turned out championship ball clubs, winning two Mid-State crowns and one County title. Coach Johnson will lose three men from the first eleven this year, but with the remaining strong reserve strength should find boys capable of filling in the vacant spots. The varsity in order to defeat all their opposition had to co-ordinate both mind and body in order to function as a team in the full sense of the word, a feat accomplished only after hours of hard practice and drill.

The 1947 Speedway team engaged in only one dual track meet and one triangular meet, before entering the conference meet. The Sparkplugs defeated the Mooresville spikemen 60 to 48, in their initial dual meet of the year. The Speedway Cin- dermen got 77 5f21 points while Brownsburg and Danville got but -19 and 24 173 points re- spectively, for their only triangular victory of the season. The Lawrence Central Bears, who have monopolized the Mid-State track meets each year, again came home first in the meet with Speedway a close second. Lawrence Central scored 55 points to Speedway's 395 Mooresville, 25 31-1: lirownsburg, 20: Danville, 113 Decatur Cen- tral, 103 and Plainfield, 4 1f4.

SPARKPLUG G IN NEW CRCWNS The high flying Speedway Sparkplugs 1947-48 have not only achieved a fine win and loss record for the season, but have also won three out of the four tourneys they have entered, a record which no other Speed- way team has ever accomplished. The team improved rapidly during the season under the steady direction of Coach Charles Nay, setting a fast pace in winning the four-way Invitational Tourney at Plainfield and the Marion County Tourney, and finally reached their peak in the Danville sectionals. X The Sparkplugs opened the door to a line season by defeating Greenwood, 39-34, in a thrilling overtime battle. Speedway's next opponent, Franklin T ownship, evened the Sparkplugs' win and loss column, in defeat- ing them 40 to 33. The Speedway varsity came back in fine shape to take their second conference game by defeating Brownshurg, 38-34. They then made it three conference wins and no losses by taking the measure- ment of the Plainfield Quakers, 46-35. The Manual Redskins,' came to Speedway to add another victory to their three game winning spree, but were disappointed as the Sparki-es ripped the nets ,almost continuously, beating them 48 to 27. Mooresville was successful in- breaking Speedway's three game winning streak and handing the Spark- plugs their first conference setback, defeating our team 39 to 44, The Sparkplugg returned to the winning column by trimming Danville, for the first time in three years, 48-44, The Lawrence Central Bears tlifew a bombshell in Sparkie's path exploding a 49 to 34 victory over the Speedway netmen. Speedway was again invited to the Invitational Tourney at Plainfield and defeated the home team in the afternoon game 41 to 34, and also defeated a scrapping Monrovia quintet in the final game, 42-31. The Sparkplugs were nosed out at Beech Grove in the final minutes of play, 36 to 39.

The Sparkplugs came back strong the next day and ousted the tour- ney favorite, Franklin Township. 42-41, in a red hot ball game. In the finial game lien Davis outlplayed the Sparkies in the first minutes of play but the Sparkplugs overcame the Giants with a score of 50 to 36, to win their first County trophy. The XYarriors from Wlarren Central came to Speedway to avenge their tourney defeat, but they will have to wait until next year for another try, since the Sparkplugs nosed them out again, this time 48-45. The Zionsville Iiagles flew into the Speedway gym to do battle with our Sparkplugs, and were sent home with clip- ped wings. and a 33-42 defeat . Speedway had a tough time in heating Pike Township. for their sixth straight victory, nosing out the Red Devils, 33 to 31. The Sparkplugs then took three straight defeats on the chin, losing to VVashington 42-45 while Ben Davis took revenge and the dope box by virtue of a 44 to 35 final score, and Decatur Central laced the Sparkplugs. 49 to 36. The Mario-n County Champs then went to Danville to end their three game losing streak and to win their first Sectional Crown. To achieve the coveted crown, they nosed out Amo, the Hendricks County Champs, 39-36, in an overtime. Remembering last year's hitter defeat at the hands of Clayton, the team drubbed the Cardinals 45 to 32. The two finalists, Avon and Speedway, started off on a fairly even basis, but the Spark- plugs soon began pouring in the points and left the Orioles in the early stages of the game. whipping them 41 to 26. V In the Regional Tourney at Indianapolis, the Sparkplugs took the floor against the same XYashington club which had defeated them in a previous engagement by three points. The Sparkies played better ball than their opponents in every department but the one labeled shooting accuracy and the XVashington Continentals trimmed them 60 to 44, eliminating them from the State tournament.

Stars of Tomorrow The success of the Varsity basketball team depends largely upon the progress and training of the reserve squad. The second team by virtue of their prominent playing ability and superb teamwork, was successful in finishing one of the best seasons of the past few years. Linder the able guidance of Mr. Clyde Sallee the seconds practiced diligently the entire basketball season in order that they might achieve a line team. l'erseverenc'e and the thirst for learning better methods of ball handling and hardwood play are only a few of the admirable traits the Junior Sparkplugsn have shown. The aim of every coach of reserve squads is to train and work with his boys so that as they get to the stage where they are promoted to the varsity squad, they are able to put into practice expertly the fundamentals they have learned as apprentices in the art of playing basketball. The boys who composed our championship varsity basketball squad this year first gained their experi- ence by playing on the ll team. No sooner is a vacancy made on the first team roster than there are one or more second string boys. capable of filling the position. Among the many outstanding things that make basketball a popular sport are the fellowship and personal- ity training that is derived from it. The second team is the foundation for such training and the habits of co- operation learned in this stage of the game are largely carried throughout high school and on into later life. Our second team should be given its share of praise for its splendid part in our athletic program. MEMORIES OF GIRL ' ATHLETICS From the first hole dug in the ground outside S.ll.S. for the new building, plans were being formulated for smaller and better physical ed. classes. Collapsible bleachers will rise with the removal of the three tent- porary rt-outs on the west side of the gym and a sliding partition will make possible the meeting of two classes or two different activities going on at the same time. This type of plan has worked well at other high schoo-ls where conditions are crowded or where facilities are limited. The future taken care of-for a few years anyway-let's glance into the past. XYay back in the fall of '42 when the Senior .Xmazonsu--and we use the term loosely--entered Speed- way -lunior High School. they experienced their first gym class under the guidance of Miss Mary Hepperly: twhile in the spring of '48 under their 4th gym teacher, they completed six years of muscle maneuvering activities.l During Miss Hester l5land's stay. the addition to the high school was finished, providing for a much larger dressing room, individual metal lockers-replacing the wire baskets-and additional showers. Miss Bland secured for the girls much needed equipment and introduced sports new to the femmes of S.H.S. The first hint of girls' athletics at S.H.S. for several years, excluding gym classes. was the girls' tourney in 1947. That yeiar the Senior class held the upper hand and defeated the juniors in the Final game. This year. however, the tables were turned and the Seniors of '48 lost the championship to the Sophomores in a low scoring game. 13-7. The .luniors won the consolation game against the Freshmen. The first night of the tour- ney plunged the -luniors against the Sophs. who came out on the long end of the 16-9 score. The second game paired the Seniors with the Frosh, who found their score was doubled by the upper classmen-28-14. ll'ith Miss lfleanor lireer came new wine colored gym suits-the first since the blue, bloomer-legged ones worn in the seventh grade-and the Girls' .Xthletic Association which this year sponsored the girls' tour- ney almost before it came into being. For the short span of time remaining in the year. Delores Coleman headed the association with Donna Thorne next in line. Katie Heaton recorded the meetings while Miriam Farley had charge of finances. The organization thus far has been limited to 'lunior and Senior girls who wish to participate in extra-curricular sports. In the near future, our G..'X..-X. will probably include all high school girls and will become affiliated with the state association. Standing: Miss Greer, Barbara Camp- bell. XYilma Beck.
