Lyons Standing, left to right: Phil VVhitescl, Jack Wampler, Richard Cotter, Charles Lynch, John Henry Barth, Gene Bennett The Student Council was organized immediately at the beginning of the school year. Our principal, Mr. Harader, served as an adviser for the group. There was a total of twelve students on the council. These representatives, elected from each class in senior high to give the opinions of their classmates, considered student problems as they arose during the year. Gene Lennett was elected president; Jeanne Frazier served as secretary-treasurer. A school party, after-ball-game dances, and a U. S. O. collection were among the activities sponsored bv the Student Council. As a whole it has been one of the most successful organizations of its kind ever to be established in this school. Vagc Eleven Athletic Council Seated, left to right: Mr. Brumbaugh, Donald McCorkle, Mrs. Brierly, Janet Kantner Standing: Mr. Blackburn, Mr. St. Myers, Phil Whitcsel, Mr. Harader First organized in the spring of 1943, the Athletic Council is now composed of the superintendent, principal, coaches, girls’ athletic director, and two elected high school students. During this school year Mr. Harader served as chairman of the council and Janet Kantner acted as secretary. Don McCorkle was the other student chosen to represent the student body. Phil Whitesel was chosen by the basketball squad to represent the team. The chief function of the Athletic Council is to plan and manage athletic activities for the high school. Pane Twelve (?Laiiei Senior Year JAMES KING President ROBERT CARON Vice-President BETTY BICKEL Secretary DICK STEWART T reasttrer As our last year of high school comes to an end, we recall the fun and work of which we have been a part during our school years; we realize all that school has meant to us. Under the supervision of Miss Montgomery and Mr. Brumbaugh, class sponsors, we seniors at our first meeting elected class officers and selected as our representatives on the Student Council, Jo Anne Stentzel, James King, and John Barth. Many of us took part in band, orchestra, and chorus. A few, being literary-minded. were on the WESTERNER and SUCCESSUS staffs. I liree of our boys, John Barth, Dick Stewart, and Bob Caron, played on the varsity basketball team. Most of the fellows, however, were interested in baseball. In October our class gave an old-fashioned Hallowe’en party for the rest of the high school. For the juniors and seniors we held the Senior-Junior on March 31. The last of May saw the presentation of our senior play. To earn money we had a magazine-selling-contest. For added funds we sponsored dances from time to time after basketball games. In addition to keeping up with our studies and school activities, many in our class worked in local businesses to contribute to the war effort. W e. the Class of 1944. taking leave of our school, look to the future with hope and expectancy. —Jo Anne Stentzel.

Kindergarten room. Miss Schricker, teacher. Oh, happy days—nothing to do but play. Scene 2. First grade room. Miss Bungcr and Miss Roush, teachers, at South and North Side. Scene 3. Second grade room. Miss Hunger and Miss MofTct, teachers. Many of us learn our first lesson in discipline—“NO WHISPERING . Scene 4. Third grade room. Miss Chit tick and Miss Turner (both at North Side), teachers. We are learning to write with pen and ink. Scene 5. Fourth grade room. Miss Murphy and Miss Turner, teachers—We’re stepping right along and learning more every day. ACT II Scene 1. Fifth grade room. Miss Reagan, South Side, and Miss Murphy, North Side. We can’t understand why our class is always separated, unless we’re too much for one teacher to handle. Scene 2. Sixth grade room. Miss Higgs and Miss Reagan, teachers. Every morning our teacher reads us a chapter of Nellie's Silver Mine. Scene 3. Seventh grade room. At last we arc on our way to higher education—yes, in junior high. It’s quite a problem getting to classes before the bell rings. Scene 4. Eighth grade. A lot of us have decided we could work much better while chewing gum. We were soon talked out of this theory. ACT III Scene 1. Grade nine. Here arc forty-three green freshmen wandering wide-eyed through the halls in September, 1941. Scene 2. Tenth Grade. A year has passed and thirty-five of us find ourselves sophomores, demolished in number, but still happy and studious. Scene 3. Eleventh Grade. 1942-3 has proved to be quite an eventful year for us juniors with class meetings, sweaters, rings, Junior-Senior Reception, and class play. Although two of our boys are in the service, we are still 33 strong. Scene 4. Twelfth Grade. At last after twelve years of the steady grind, we await that fateful day when we will march down the aisle to receive our diplomas. Now we arc only twenty-eight in number. 'Phis can be blamed on Hitler and Tojo. So with that thought a new chapter in the history of the Class of '44, begins to unfold. Curl din —Betty Morgan. Cage Eighteen Last Will and Testament We. the Senior Class of 1944, of the City of Union City, County of Randolph, and State of Indiana, being of sound mind, and realizing that our days in U.C.H.S. are few, do make, ordain, and publish this, our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making null and void all other last Wills and Testaments by us made heretofore.

We leave to the school and our teachers the memories of all the knowledge which we failed to acquire.

Bowling The High School Howling League was brought to a successful close Monday evening, March 6.

The primary purpose of the Student Council's reinstating this tourney was to raise money for the Red Cross drive : however the enthusiasm aroused for inter-high school competition was so keen that it was decided to continue the event this year. ith the basketball season for ’44 ended, the high school classes began to buzz with plans for the second annual class tourney. Decorations went up and all teams’ hopes were high. Finally the great event took place on March 7. The sophomores decisively defeated the seniors for the first win of the day. In the second game the freshmen were overwhelmed by the “Grocer juniors. The seniors regained a parcel of their dignity by carrying off the consolation game. hen the final whistle had sounded, it was a deserving junior team that took possession of the “Big Brown Jug. The “Little Brown lug,” award for the runner up, was claimed bv the sophomores. After the presentations, the sophomores sponsored a dance for the entire school. —Don McCorkle.

An outstanding social event was the Christmas party and dance, sponsored by the Mothers’ Club, featuring games, luncheon, and an exchange of gifts. Under the leadership of Miss Maxine Frazier with Miss Frances Lou Mangas as piano accompanist, a dancing class was organized, also sponsored by the Mothers’ Club. A final party, planned and financed by our classes, was held during the last six weeks’ period. Physical education was stressed. The girls enjoyed basketball and Indian kickball. The boys organized baseball and other team games in the fall: and under the leadership of Mr. (irimme, an Aviators’ basketball league was organized. In this the seventh and eighth grades were divided equally into six full teams, which in turn played ten scheduled games with the Corsairs, captained by William Price, the league winner. From the above group a junior high team, known as the Pussy Cats, was selected. This team enjoyed a successful season, winning six of the eight games played and being one of th finalist in the Parker Junior High Tournament. The team consisted of the following players: Max Brown, John Evans, Duane Brass, John Patched, Phillip W ise, Robert Reid, William Price, Jerry Kantner, Allen Dye, Gene Armstrong, and Robert Miller. Robert Anderson was student manager. Our yell leaders. Betty Merritt. Patty Merritt, and Joyce Fulk, added pep to class contests and encouraged our teams on to victory. —John Patched.

Page Thirty-eight thLetlcl Walter Brumbaugh became the new coach of the Wildcats this year, succeeding Charles McCullough, who has accepted a business position. Coming to Union City four years ago, Mr. Brumbaugh has since coached three Kitten teams to successful seasons. Faced with a shortage of experienced players, since only one letter man returned from last year’s squad, he produced during his Union City year of varsity coaching, a better than average team that won the Saratoga Tourney and was rated third in the Randolph County standings at the end of the season. With a substantial nucleus of letter men for next season, we wish you every success with your team, Mr. Brumbaugh.

Three seniors, “Fuzzy” Barth, “Dickie” Stewart and “Sugar”Caron, helped to spark this year’s team. Stewart with his speed and skill. Barth with his step-back long shots, and Caron with his suspended one hand shot accounted for many of the points. Five Juniors made up the rest of the letter winning varsity. “TTuffv” bluffer and “Rosey” Rosenbush contributed most with their heads up defensive game. J. C. Lyons had a left handed hook shot that was hard to stop. Gene Bennett fashioned a shot such as Caron had, which developed nicely in the latter part of the season. “Shorty” White-sel was just an all around star; there was not much that stopped him.

The Union City reserves had another good season, topping last year’s record by winning twelve games, while losing only four. Mr. St. Myers coached the Kittens during his first year at Union High; and working with new material. he did a fine job in rounding out a well balanced, winning ball club. The Kitten quintet out-classed most of their opponents with their skill in ball handling and particular work together as a team. Annexing the “pony” shoe during the season, the Seconds turned right around and lost it to Saratov- One of the highlights of the season was the double shellacking handed to the Winchester Bees. The defeats against the Kittens were racked up by Saratoga. Stoney Creek and Portland. A good varsity can be expected in the next two years with this kind of material ready. —Dick Stewart.
