Spencerville High School - Spenconian Yearbook (Spencerville, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1944 volume:

Foreword With our car««rs as high school students drawing to a close, we begin to realize that o ir school days contain many memories that will be cherished in later years. We hope to record some of these memories in oup annual so that they may be preserved in - a more permanent form. Perhaps this book will help you to recall many events from your own school life. If it does, it will have served its ptirpose. Dedication To our parents, and to parents everywhere, who have made possible all the privileges which we enjoy as free Americana, we, the Seniors of 1944, wish to dedicate our annual, the Spenconlane Their courage and determination in carrying on the war on the home front has been an in- spiration to all of us. May the time soon come when they can once more return to the pursuits of peace.

H. Paschen, Prin. On the first Tuesday in September, 1940, nineteen cock- sure and complacent individuals strutted xnto the schoolhouse with the intention of taking the place by storm, for our group representee tne cream from such townsnips as Sutler, Jackson, ' Newville, and Spencer. Six of this number were orig- inally from Spencerville; so that left thirteen of us to be really green Freshmen. We spent the first fev days getting acquainted and adjusted. The seniors, especially, gave us a hearty v;elcome. V e wondered at this somewhat, but were told by the six pioneers that it was the seniors ' privilege to ini- tiate us — whatever that mi ht mean. On the second Friday night, we found out. We were the victims whom the seniors, in the presense of a responsive audience, man-handled and fed any- thing from stewed macaroni, telling us it was fish worms, to cayenne pepper, which they said would be good for our morale.. At the beginning of the third week, then, we became an integral part of Spencerville High and for many weeks we knew little else than gruelling study. But the year closed with the allegiance of the September green horns firmly cemented to 3. H. S. In 1941, we were Sophomores. We had won a new classmate, Arthur McSoriey, who stayed with us only one semester, but we had lost Merle Goldsmith, who did not return, also Gerald Means, who continued his studies at St. Joe, and Lydla Brlskeyj who transferred to Hicksville. This year went more smoothly, and our efforts were concentrated on achieving the status of upperclassmen, which we would have as Juniors. Tt was now September, 1942; we were Juniors with roll call showinp: the absence of Ruth Ayers and Mildred 3ry. Late in the year Ja ' -e Hoover from i.eo joined our band. As Juniors we had many things to mull over. Among the most important were the choice of a play and the plans for the reception. After much study and planning, Toby Doodle Dandy was selected as the play. It was given to a full house and was well received. The receipts from this were used to swell the funds for the reception which Juniors and Seniors alike enjoyed at the YWCA on April 17. But soon it was September, 1943. One of our number, Barbara Wasson, chose the primrose path of matrimony, and only fourteen thoughtful persons enrolled as Seniors. The end was in sight. We filled our schedules to capacity. We found the last year overflowing with almost everything including both work and play. One of the ma or tasks was to sponsor the publication of the year book; another was to put on a successful play, all at the same time that we were trying to keep our grades and credits earning the diploma for which we had been striving since that first Tuesday in September, 1940, 20 CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of Spencervllle High School, being of aovind mind and about to depart, do cogitate together concerning which of our prized possess Ions we shall leave behind us and irtilch we shall attempt to take along. After careful thought and much debate, we come to the following decisions: I, Wllma Custer, will my ability to Ignore the boys to Marian Coles; but that of minding my own business, I leave to Beulah Myers, I, Donald Friend, refuse to will anything because I need It all myself. I, Marcella Furnish, bequeath my sex appeal to Hazel Ankney and my right to be engaged to Thelma Oerlg. I, Wayne Grogg, will my love for the ladles to Zenas Gerlg. I, Jacob Hoover, leave my ability to sleep on the school ' s time to Lewis Worman and all my extra girls to the Fresh- men boys. I, Evelyn Kline, bequeath my skill In mualc to Hazel Ankney so that she may become a better tap-dancer, but my loud temper Is to become the property of Lorraine Rhodes. I, Harold Murphy, will my ability to go steady to Kathryn Jones and my excess hair oil to Ralph Carnahan so that he may grow a beard. I, Everett Rlngenberg, leave my ability to keep a straight fAce to Ted Moore, but my manly size and strength Is to be given to Lacy Mettert. I, Donald Romlne, bequeath my plumpness to Gloria Fry and my bright red hair to Lillian Walters, I, Mary Sheefel, leave to Elsie Fitch my yen to keep up the soldiers ' morale by writing letters; but to Mary Lou Young, I bequeath my dexterity In breaking windshields, I, Donald Warner, will my ability to stay home and keep my nose In books to Maurice Woodrlng, but my superior tech- nique with the ladles Is left to the Sophomore Romeos. I, Betty Rudolph, bequeath my ability to delay Cupid to Imogene Allen and my doleful disposition to posterity o I, Paul Watson, will my backwardness to Guy Helbert and my gentleman-like actions to Richard Shilling I, Wayne Worman, bequearh my Innocence to Beulah Myers and my ability to keep quiet to Rachel Chapman. We, Harold and Everett, leave our Damon -and -Pythias friend- ship to Lavon Kline and Mavirlce Woodrlng. We, the Seniors, lndlvld ially and severally, do leave to our sponsor, Mr. E.H.Paschen, all outmoded cuds of gum so that he will have a subject for speeches befort the as- sembly In the fall of  44. Thus having disposed of our most useless possessions, we, the Seniors of 1944, do here and now affix our names and seal. THE SENIORS. Attested to by E.H.Paschen — sponsor. 21 Prophecy of ' 44 On April 1, 1960, the Juniors of ' 44 strolled into the Cheeaetown court room for Juvenile Delinquencies, finding Everett Ringenberg, a flat-footed lawyer and prosecuting at- torney, trying his first case before the ever famous Judge, Paul Watson. Thinking back over the years, we remembered him as a timid sort of chap, but there was none of that present in the harsh Judge now. Of course he had gained weight in a few places. Getting back to Everett, we find him cross-examin- ing Mary Sheefel for breaking the windshield of a ' 32 Chevy. Peeling sorry for Mary, we returned to our Helicopter and Jovirneyed across country to Hollywood. Flying low over the city, we noticed a huge billboard which advertised cosmetics. It may seem a coincidence, but at the same time the radio brought us news of the grand opening of a concert this evening, sponsored by Wilma Custer, pr esident of the Custer Lipstick and Rouge Corporation, and Marcella Furnish, who is in some way connected with the Hurni Cream Company. We all vowed that we would attend the concert. Since we were tired, we parked our Helicopter and rested until early evening when we decided to get something to eat. Looking up the street, we saw a sign in Neon lights reading ' •Don ' s Place. ' ' Wondering if it could be the same Don we used to know, we went in. We were greeted by a hearty voice and many handshakes. Sxire enough it was the Donald Romine itho used to auctioneer Bermuda onions. He said he still does only he has added hambvirgers to them now. After we had finished eating, we continued on our way to the concert. There we were greeted by a burly doorman, known as Wayne Worman, who, they say, had once been accused of bigamy; but maybe that was all propaganda. The band struck up a lively number and Lo and Behold I didn ' t every one of us recognise Evelyn Kline, now the leader of her own swing band. Featured with her band was Betty Rudolph, famous toe dancer for M-G-M, and Donald Warner with his crooning poetry and his one and only pupil, Harold Murphy, the second Frank Sinatra. After the concert we flew to Chicago to the much famed Hoover lodging house, whose proprietor was none other than Jacob Hoover. Just before going to our assigned rooms, we noticed a very distinguished looking gentleman in the lobby. He proved to be Wayne Grogg, who specializes in raising Pure- Bred cattle. Just then one of Hoover ' s regular customers came in. He was none other than Donald Friend, now a champion hog raiser. The next morning as the Juniors left to go home, Danald and Wayne were enjoying themselves in a nice quiet quarrel, which could be heard for two miles, over which was the more profitable — Pure-Bred cattle or Thorough-Bred hogs. — by the Juniors 23 24 25 26 JUNIORS Back Row--Lacy Mettert, Lewis VJorman, Zenas Gerig, Ralph Carnahan, Lavon Kline, Maurice Woodring, Guy Helbert Middle Row— Marian Coles, Rachel Chapman, Richard Shilling, Ted Moore, Wary Young, Imogene Allen, Agnes Paschen Front Row— Gloria Fry, Thelma Gerig, Lorraine Rhodes, Elsie Fitch, Kathryn Jones, Hazel Ankney, Beulah Myers Not shown — Lillian Walters Pres. — Thelma Gerig Vice Pres. — Ralph Carnahan Sec ' y-Treas. — Marian Coles Sponsor — Agnes Paschen If I should place a value on The bounty of the earth.

Is the center of many thrilling activities such as basketball games, school plays, special programs, and local business meetings. Basketball games are the main attraction. The spectator ' s interest has been in- creased by the addition of a new electric scoreboard. It was purchased bj the students, who eagerly participated in a mag- azine campaign. Jimmie Bowser, a seventh grade pupil, lead the school with a total sales of $37.50. It is very much appreci- ated by the players and fans alike. The new board gives our gym an up-to-the-minute atmosphere, and the players get a thrill to be remembered when they look up during a game and see the scores automatically rolling up for the home team 36 FIRST TEAi ' : E. H. Paachen--coach, Maurice Woodrlng, Ted Moore, Donald Friend, Richard Shilling, Harold Murphy, Donald Warner, Everett Kingenberg vi ' lth only one of last yeai ' s team returning this year, Spencerville had an inexperienced squad. The team was average in weight, hut a tit shorter than usual. In spite of handi- caps, the team, with the aid of their clever trainer, E.H. Paschen, kept hammering at the oi-ponents in an attempt to bring forth success. Although sometimes outclassed, but seldom outfought, the team was determined to get sufficient lead before the final gun was fired. Should the forwards be guarded to closely, our guards were ready to drive through to provide the needed punch. Harold Murphy 5 ' 10 158 lb.. Senior Guard Everett Ringenberg 5 10 175 lb.
