' w ' Spenterian Editorial Staff F' l Putting out a yearbook isnt as much fun as it appears, judging from the sighs of the staff members. Producing a publication of 80 pages isn't all work either. It's just the proper blending of entertainment and headache to keep eleven Spencerian-wise folks intere sted. Only someone who has worked on the annual, can know the thrill of seeing the completed book and knowing that he played a part in producing it. A yearbook has its editorial, mechanical, and business sides. Special thanks go to everybody who bought books, purchased advertising space, and helped sell the Spencerian. ,'l Left: Paul Thomas, Co-Editor, janet Hodges, Co-Editor, Carey Spencer, Photographer, David Martin, Sports.

Class F RESHMAN There were sixty of us, poor, lost, bewildered freshmen, who looked for the first time into the magnificent whirl they call high school. Although we thought we were quite big wheels , the lordly seniors soon showed us otherwise. During the first few weeks we were unmercifully teased by upper classmeng but we endured with a true martyr's spirit. With some study, we frolicked through the year, bolstered with a few jolly parties, and a bit of fun betwixt, which turned the darkest days into sunshine. Our footsteps were carefully guided by our sponsors, Mrs. Christ and Mr. Ahlemeyer. They helped us stage our elections, After much debate and friendly arguing, we managed to elect Gary Gray, as president, Howard Langley, vice-president, and Doris Campbell, secretary-treasurer, as our officers. As the year drifted by, we had a basketball festival. We elected Doris Campbell and Clyde Mills, as our candidates. My how excited we were with our first class party in October. We thought we were really Big Stuff planning our party by ourselves. We held it in the old gym and we really had fun. Our first year in high school ended with our elections for May Queen Attendants, and we elected Doris Campbell and Marilyn Morey. SOPHOMORE The school bell called us back to another ses sion on September 6, 1950, but we had lost a few of our class during the summer. Nevertheless we thought we had a big class and looked with much scorn upon the green 'Freshies . How could we have acted like them? In this year, guided by Tommy Emerson, as president, Ralph Dowell, as vice-president, Lois Hendricks, secretary-treasurer, we regarded our life as very eventful with our class meeting and by taking part in the new organizations and clubs that were being started. This year we drew as our sponsors, Mrs. Miller and Mr. Hendershot. The high light of the year was our class party out at McCormick s Creek State Park. This was our first time to have our party away from school and were we thrilled! We had a wiener roast and played games. This year we chose Janet Hodges and Joan Gates, as our May Queen Attendants. JUNIOR Fifty-four of us took the exalted position of Juniors. Now we were upper classmen. We could gang around in the halls and look down on those measly freshies and sophs. For our presiding officers we elected Ed Sims, president, George Mathes, vice- president, and Shirley Swango, secretary-treasurer. History We settled down to some hard work this year in an attempt to make money for the Senior Reception. We just had to outdo all the other classes so far. We worked like eager beavers, selling concessions at ball games and holly wreaths at Christmas time, until we thought we were very rich at having all the money we now had in our treasury. Our most important job was giving our class play entitled Love is in the Air . lt was highly successful and did we enjoy giving it! It gave us a chance to show our stuff. Finally after much planning and waiting came our red-letter day, the Senior Reception. The air was full of what are you going to wear and whom are you going with. As a class, we had a grim determination, as we faced our senior year, to gain all that we can and at the same time to promote a better and bigger school spirit. SENIOR There were fifty of us who entered the doors of Spencer High School for the last time. We now felt we were quite sophisticated and were quite ready to face the world. Our sponsors, Mrs. Allen and Mr. Ahlemeyer, gave us careful guidance and supervision during our biggest year. Our last year as seniors has been a very busy and enjoyable one. We saw fit to ask Howard Langley, president, Margaret Clark, vice-president, and Mary Ruth Smith, secretary-treasurer, to pilot us on our last lap of our journey through high school. On October 29 we gave our senior class play, The Little Dog Laughed . We had even more fun this year giving our play than we had in our junior year. We were carefully guided and helped in giving it by Miss Galimore. This year we saw many new faces among our faculty. Although we were sorry to lose many of our old favorites, we were glad to have our new instructors. We were honored and highly entertained at the Senior Reception. It was nice to sit back and let some one else do the planning and entertaining. Mary Ruth Smith was chosen as May Queen, and the senior attendants were Bertha Bruce and Bette Schieman. We had a wonderful time demonstrating our various abilities and in making our predictions for the future when we gave our Senior Class Night. Finally that lucky day arrived to which we have looked forward for four long years. What a thrill it was to receive our diplomas. As We look back over these four short years together with all of our good times and pleasant memories, we were almost sorry to leave, and yet we are not unwilling that this should be our graduation for there are happier days before us, and many bigger things to be done.

We all had loads of fun in giving the play and can only hope that the audience enjoyed it as much as we did. Our special thanks go to Miss Galimore, the director of our play.

Although off to a poor start, the team won its last three games and finished in fifth place in the Southwestern Conference. Handicapped by a lack of experienced pitching, the team in other departments was as strong or stronger than the previous season's championship team. Excellent teams can be expected in the future as most of the players on this year's team are sophomores or juniors. 1953 RECORD Fall Season SHAWSWICK 10. . . . . SPENCER 3 SWITZ CITY 14. . . . .

Micro Waves In Television Pep Session Essay Award u ,gs V .-4: Temperance Prophecy W t ir lil As Commencement draws near, we the class of '54 are giving serious meditation as to our future occupations. Four years of hard studying together has brought about relations that will not easily be forgotten. Such thoughts keep us awake at night. As we sit before the fireplace tonight, our minds are still contemplating the important question of our future. We are gazing sleepily into the flickering flames when we catch sight of -- what is it? It looks like a man -- an elf-like little man. He speaks in a squeaky voice, l am the muse of prophecy. Take this mirror and behold the destiny of your classmates. Before we can say anything to him he has vanished. The mirror is black and mystic looking. Being magic it produces a dreamy effect thus revealing the future occupations of our classmates. As we gaze into the mirror, a large music hall comes into viewg there we can see Donnetta Arthur, Paul Thomas, Howard Langley, Bobby Young, Margaret Clark, and Marion Hawkins -- now called The Geeks of Podunk Creek -- doing their favorite song, Mother Goose jumps. The scene changes to the court house lawn where Freddy Bayh and Garry Johnson, the two greatest coon hunters of Owen County, are proudly displaying and selling their season's catch of coon hides. Next we see a large radio station where Don Christy, the operator of Station PDXZ, is taking interviews for the talent show that he is to have next week. Here we see Ed Sims who is singing Why Don't You Believe Me? Next to be inter- viewed is the Idiots' Delight composed of john Blair, Tom Emerson, Joe Goebel, George Mathes, and David Martin. They are singing, Down By the Riverside. As this view fades, we see a white barn and contented cattle in the green pastures on Norman Dunigan's farm. Norman is tackling cow lice in a most scientific way, while Doris Campbell gives Norman instructions. Down a winding road we can see Ronald Heidrick, the largest persimmon grower in Owen County, inspecting his trees for bacteria blight. A building which looks to be avery respectable restaurant comes into view, and there we see the words Hot-Shot Cafe flashing on an over- hanging neon sign. Inside we see Lois Hendricks slaving away as head cashier. Her boss, Buddy Dowell, keeps a watchful eye on her as she punches the dollar sign. The scene shifts to a recitation room where janet Hodges, instructor of commercial studies in Spencer High School, is giving shorthand to her students at 200 words per minute and she expects them to get it as fast as she dictates. Next door to her room Richard Poff and Clyde Mills, instructors in agriculture, are teaching their students how to distinguish the various types of grain. Another large farm which comes into view is owned by Charles Barker who is showing his tenant, David Blacklidge, how to plow the fields. A new dance hall, built by Spencer's car- penters Tommy Terrell and Jack johnson, is now reflected in the mirror. These fellows are proud of their addition to the metropolis of Spencer. Their friends Shirley Swango and Sharon Stimson rush onto the dance floor with Donald Maners, the Romeo ,and Richard Smith, owner of Phillips 66 Station. Robert Medaris, special car salesman for our local Williams' and Medaris' car lot, is waiting for a chance to cut in. What's this we see next?? A newspaper with these glaring headlines -- NMENACE TO OUR HIGHWAYS -- RONALD DAVIS KILLS BLACK CAT. We can see Richard Buker, the under- taker, carrying the dead cat away in his shiny hearse. On the sports page of the paper we see that Marvin Crites, a professional coach, lost his first game of the season by a score of 71 to 70 in a double overtime. The paper gives the account that Marvin Jones' team has been defeated by every team within a radius of 100 miles of his school. On the society page we see that Lillis Thacker and her well-known boyfriend have finally married. The groom now owns a half interest in the Sarkes- Tarzian Company and the bride is attending Central Business College in Indianapolis. On the special attraction page of the paper we see many artistic designs made by our home town artists, Betty Schieman and Herschel Spangler. The next scene is of a large office building where Barbara Laymon is in charge of the office employees. Nancy jordan, the typist, seems to think she knows more about the work than the boss. jo Ann Gates and Mary Ruth Smith are in the rear of the office busily placing material in the files. jane Hauk is operating a comptometer with amazing speed. We seem to see a hospital scene coming into focus. Wilma Kay, the head nurse, is showing the new nurse, Bertha Bruce, the technique of taking a person's temperature. What's this?? It is Hazel Evans, the Physical Education Director of Spencer High School, show- ing the new football coach, Ruby Terrell how she would train her girls for the coming season. The next person the mirror reflects is Roy Van Deventer making a sign which reads, End of the Year Sale. Roy is owner of a chain of grocery stores in the good old Hoosier State. What is happening? Is the mirror itself vanish- ing? What happened to --? Has the muse of prophecy refused to furnish further revelations? There is so much more we would like to know, but wasn't it wonderful to know what our class mates will be doing to occupy their time?

Class Will of 1954 5'- nf 7 ff- ' IN fS x -- 1lllM':n As the curtain rises, we hear a dog barking. We see old Fred Bayh and his beloved coon dog. It is very late at night, and a storm is approaching. Fred, looking about for shelter, sees in the distance the old dilapidated shack which in previous years was the home of Mr. Deadbeat, the one time caretaker of the ceme- tary, which lay around this uninviting hovel. Fred hobbles through the eerie field of grave- stones and finally reaches the door. The door opens with a creak. He steps inside and sits upon a moldy coffin. And there lying on the floor is the last will and testament of the Senior Class of 1954. He gets out his blow torch and starts to read: We, the Senior Class, do bequeath: To the faculty, anything that will take away all the gray hair we have given them.

I, Tom Terrell, leave to my brother Clifford, my position as Spencer High School Casonova. I, Ruby Terrell, do bequeath my distinctive walk to Sheila McCann. I, Lillis Thacker, will my interest in a cer- tain boy to myself ----- HE'S MINE! I, Paul Thomas, leave my scholastic record to Sallie Sheppard so that she may be as suc- cessful as I. I, Roy Van Deventer, leave my ability to stack cans in a grocery store, to anyone who can work as hard as I. I, Wanda New, leave my noisy and unrestrain- ed behavior to Barbara Baugh. I, Bob Young, leave my deep bass voice to Mark Thompson, hoping that he will someday become as poor a singer as I hope to be. To the faculty, we will and bequeath a note of sympathy or congratulation, as the case may be for the loss oftheir beloved pupils and victims. We wish to hand our teachers for their tact in handling us. We are grateful for the interest and understanding they have shown us. Their skilled leadership will be a great asset to us in the future. To our parents, we bequeath our deepest appreciation for the additional education we have received at home. The interest our parents have shared with us in high school and the assistance they have given will help us greatly in later life. To all we will with sorrowa good-bye to each other and to you. For many of us it is the end of formal education. Some will go immediately into the business world, others will enter the service of their country. Some will go on to continue their training in more highly socialized fields. From this day forward we go into these varied walks of lifeg but the memory of our associations here will remain forever. No matter what we do or where we go in future years, the recollections ofthe class of '54 will be dimmed. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal, this eighteenth C182 day of May, A.D., nineteen hundred and fifty-four 119541. Signed, yours truly, Class of 1954 Activities During Lunch Hour Lunch Counter N. Hall V ' i Candy Stand Recreation Room P lay- ground Cafeteria ELEMENTARY CHOOI. Children who attend Spencer schools for the first eight grades of their schooling are enrolled in the Spencer elementary school. The principal is Mr. Herbert Edwards. At present there are about six hundred students enrolled. Ordinarily, two classes of the first through the fourth grades attend classes held in the old elementary building, but this year the enrollment for the first grade was so large that three classes were required to teach them. The prime interest of each person connected with the school system is the pupil. This winter a project was set forth to obtain money to pur- chase much needed playground equipment for the smaller children. Through the sale of pictures of each school child the necessary amount was raised without using tax funds. Besides their regular fundamental studies the children have extra activities which are varied. FIRST GRADE Mrs. Dons Parrish Linda Aulrn :um saagb William Baal!

The seventh and eighth grades have an organized basketball team that competes with other schools. This year they were the county champions. Each year the elementary music department presents for the public a program at Christmas time and a program about the first of May. May Day is the program honoring the school queeng also, the crowning of the queen. This year the elementary children have had an art program. These children have made posters and Christmas and Easter murals for the grade school building and the cafeteria. It is the purpose of the school administrators and teachers to have a well-rounded educational program for all grades on the elementary level.
