After eleven years of just being ordinary students, we have become seniors. We now feel that we have done our tasks well and should be recognized as seniors. Miss Olive Kohlmeyer and Mr. George Frazier have acted as our advisors. Our class officers were: Gene Bennett, president; John Meredith, vice-president; Shirley Schoenfeld, secretary; Roger Dye, treasurer. Joan Haber, J. C. Lyons, and Phil Whitesel were elected as representatives on the Student Council. We were well represented in the various school activities. Gene Bennett and Lois Lantz were editors of the Westerner, and many other seniors helped on the staff. Joan Haber was editor of the Successus. Many seniors participated on the publication of the yearbook. Our class was well represented in the different musical organizations, band, orchestra, and chorus. Many of the boys played on the basketball team, and each of them carried honors. Our junior class play, “Shirt Sleeves,” the Junior-Senior Reception, and the Senior-Junior party were the main highlights of our activities in our high school days. These twelve years should leave memories for every member of our class, and we hope that we have made lasting contributions to our alma mater, U.C.H.S. —Phil Whitesel. [ 14 ] £e,+tiQAA.

Well, well, the Democrats must still he in power, for we see that brilliant Congresswoman, that champion of women's rights, Joan Haber. Helen Rosenbush is training gaited horses down on her Kentucky farm. Bob Turner is playing first trumpet in the Boston Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. We find la Schoenfeld designing dresses at Sak’s Fitfh Avenue. Have you read the latest joke book? We find the author to be none other than James (Ha-ha) Bartholomew. Eunice Moore and Patricia Clapper have bought out the Bell Telephone Co. and are making “scads of money. Jim Ellison, that young genius in chemistry, has just invented a waterless rain that prevents curls from coming out of the girl’s hair. Pat Lorton is the author of that new best seller “How to Get a Man.” Anne Chattin is president of the Mothers’Club, and is kept quite busy with three little “Tubs.” Marcella Whistler is substituting for the senior government class while Mr. Harader is away. John Meredith is mayor of Chicago and has instituted much reform for the city. Oh Yeah? Lois Lantz, that noted lecturer and musician, has made her debut at Carnegie Hall, and is scheduled to make an appearance at Union City in the near future. Jean Frazier is working as hat-check girl at the Stork Club. Janet Kantner is a laboratory technician in the U. C. Memorial Hospital. Off duty she takes care of J. C. Betty Baker and her minister-husband are busily converting all the heathens of Union City. Roger Dye has become quite wealthy as a junk collector. Joan Mangas has quit her secretarial job in Dayton to settle down with her Bill. Gene Bennett is singing “Paper Doll” to h;s own little doll. Phil Whitesel is still making passes as football coach at the University of Southern California. Robert Rosenbush is owner of the Black ii White Coal Co., Inc. We haven’t been able to find anything white about it yet. We hear the melodic yodel of James Geyer as he and his herd homeward plod on their ranch in Wyoming. Joan and Dick LeFevre are the owners of a new modern restaurant called Dick's Spot. On the farm, we see Betty Bushaw doing her evening milking while her hubby feeds the pigs. As society reporter for the Times-Gazette we see that glamorous career woman, Phyllis Best. Man- Jean Ellison is teaching home ec at dear old Alma Mater. Carol Key is a comely housewife and spends most of her spare time teaching naval history to Bob Jr. Traveling with the Ringling Bros. Circus as the fattest lady in the world is husky, Donna Perkins better known as “Fatty Lou.” Jack O’Connor is owner of a chain of large farms around Union City producing better milk from Jerseys.” Recuperating in the hospital, we find Bob Allen who told a joke so funny last week, he almost died laughing. Supersalesman of helicopters is that super-duper salesman—Bob Huffer. Earlene Merritt is holding an art exhibition at her studio off Fifth Avenue this week. Carlene Merritt is keeping house and watching out for five little freckled-faced Corkey’s. Betty Hummel is starting in a current Broadway revival of “Oklahoma.” We hear Tom Jefferis, that gab-about, has taken Bill Stern's place on the radio. Patricia Lahey and Ceresa Moore are co-owners of the Princess Beauty Salon in Muncie. Lucille Skiver, as Miss Indiana, has just won the title of Miss America,, 4955. Annabelle Welch is in the midst of her campaign for Secretary of Labor. Well', Perkins did it, why can’t she? Thus, another class of the Union City High School has joined the great American band wagon to success. —Betty Hummel. ■■■'■ :'-r • [ 19 ] Jlaii Will and eAtamesit • • • We, the Class of 1945, with full realization of the great loss our graduation will be to U.C.H.S., and feeling it our duty to relieve, in some way, the loneliness that will pervade the high school after our departure do, hereby, bestow upon our fellow schoolmates these priceless possessions: To Miss Sears, Betty Bushaw leaves the care of the library. James Ellison leaves his boisterous, aggressive manner to Jerry Kantner. Joan and Annabelle Welch leave their brothers, Bob and Joe, to any unsuspecting girls who want them. Casanova Whitesel leaves to Bob Weimer his love life. To Dick O'Dell, Gene Bennett bequeaths those morning sessions in the principal's office that you have, when you arrive just a little late. Perky, Lucille, and Shirley are living examples that “good things come in small packages,” so they leave their small images to Beverly Hiatt. Lois Lantz leaves behind a piano. If anyone feels equal to Lois' talent, let him come forth and claim his inheritance. Marcella Whistler leaves to the next person her job of office girl for the principal’s office. Joan Mangas leaves her secretarial work of the bowling league to the next person who is sucker enough to take it. Earlene Merritt leaves a good government record to Windy Resor. Good luck. Windy! Roger Dye leaves to the school a little Dye (his brother) and a fond remembrance that the school is not dead 'til it’s all “Dyed” out. Jim Geyer says he wants to give his typing class back to the Indians, so he hasn't anything to leave. A quiet air of refinement is left by “Red Dog” to any freshman boy in hopes that he won’t mess up sophistication anymore than John did. We don't know anyone who can do justice to Pat Lahey’s quiet disposition unless it is Marilyn Bupt. Ann Chattin leaves to Iris Fulk, her shy, retiring personality that is the symbol of the American girl of today. Betty Baker wills her job in the store to Phyllis Bratton. Be careful of those “fresh eggs”, Phyllis. Jack O'Connor and Bob Turner bequeath to the fairer sex a remembrance of their lovely curls. [ 20 ] To Peg Huffer, Jean Frazier leaves her many loves, and remember Peg, as Jean wisely puts it, There’s more than one fish in the sea, or “Who’s next?” Instead of leaving anything, Eunice takes Rosey and Rosey takes Eunice. To the school Eunice says, “Good luck, and Rosey says “Huh? Bob Huffer leaves the school. Carlene leaves to the student body an undying devotion to I. U.—or do you spell that C O R K Y. Bob Allen leaves his sense of humor to Margaret Dunn. Joan Haber leaves to Tom Marker her post of editing the Successus. We hope you know what you are getting into, Tom. Betty Hummel, the fastest talking girl in school, wills this unusual talent to Helen Stump. To the school J. C. left Janet. Now Janet is leaving the school. She wills her devotion to the Army to the girls who have a longing to see that “certain someone in khaki. To Ann Haselmire, Pat Lorton leaves Jackson, Ohio. Treat it well, Ann. Helen Rosenbush leaves her 1st violin chair to the next in line. Jim Bartholomew wills to Buddy Humphries his tall physique in hopes that a stature of such proportion will help in handling the cigarette customers at the drug store. Pat Clapper wills to Mary Wilson all of her phone numbers. It’s a big order, Mary. It is with a heavy heart that we watch Ceresa Moore go, for that means that there is just a little “Moore” left in school—that's Franz. Mary Jean Ellison and Phyllis Best will their hair to anyone wanting such a combination. We don't know whether they’re throwing out the “Key of the school or whether she is just graduating, but, anyway, Carol leaves her power of offensive wit to Jean Kirwin who may use it to eject any unsuspecting male intruder in the library. Last but not least Tom (Blackie) Jefferis leaves his, sometimes, catty and sarcastic— but—witty remarks to Mr. St. Myers to be used in his study hall announcements in the years to follow. We do hereby constitute and appoint Glen Brandon and Fred Stebleton as co-executioners of our last will and testament, and affix our seal for this unforgettable class of ’45. SENIOR CLASS OF 1945 (seal) Tom Jefferis [ 21 ] JUNIOR OFFICERS Tom Marker - - - President Earl Brown ' - Vice-president Leatrice Coby - - - Secretary Betty Jean Wallick - Treasurer • • • We have been working for ten years to be able to uphold the honor of being the class of“46.” We now hold that honor and we are proud. At the first of the year we elected as our class officers: Tom Marker, president; Earl Brown, vice-president; Leatrice Coby, secretary; Maxine Webb, treasurer, until she moved to Pennsylvania. Betty Jean Wallick was then elected to the treasurer's position. Our Student Council representatives were Iris Fulk, Wendell Resor, and Tom Marker. Iris is also one of the school's cheer leaders. We selected gold and brown as our class colors Our class was well represented in band, orchestra, and the Girls Glee Club. We had seven boys in basketball until Ralph Hunt left for the Navy; three of the seven boys were on the first team. Quite a few of us bowled in the Hepcat League. In addition to this, we found time for “Westerner,” “Successus,” Boys’ Club, and Sub-Deb activities. This year, under the excellent sponsorship of Miss Mabel E. Ward, the junior class made the outstanding record sale of 876 Christmas wreaths and door hangers. We sponsored dances after the games and in the spring presented the play “Heart Trouble. As the end of the school year drew near we entertained the seniors with the annual Junior-Senior Reception. We look back upon the memories of our junior year with satisfaction and a touch of regret; but, with even more anxiety and anticipation, we look forward to the senior year ahead of us. —Peggy Huger. t 23 ] fjusuosti, • . • FRONT ROW, (left to right): Janet Eikenberry, Gloria Landess, Betty Jean Wallick, Ruthe Beaty, Mary Wilson, Marjorie Turner, Ruth Patterson, Rhea Buckingham, Leatricc Coby, Zella Michael, Anna Read.

We are proud to have seven boys on the Kitten team. The girls were active in G.A.A. At the beginning of the year we elected class officers. They were as follows: Robert Reid, president: Jane Lephart, vice-president; Janet Castle, secretary; Barbara Butcher, treasurer. We chose Robert Reid, John Patchell, and David Beaty as our representatives on the Student Council. In choosing our courses we are studying in all fields. Some are following an academic course and others are taking general courses which include shop, home economics, and art. Under the excellent sponsorship of Miss Brady, we have come to the end of a very successful year. So far our first year activities have been few, but during the future years of our high school career we hope to make a place for the class of '48. —Janet Castle. [ 28 ] fyn kltmesi . . .

From the beginning of the school, the Successus staff, under the direction of Miss Olive Kohlmeyer and Mr. George Frazier, has been kept busy planning the Successus, taking subscriptions, gathering material, and taking pictures that will compose the nineteen forty-five Successus. Although it has been more difficult to publish a yearbook, due to the scarcity of materials, the staff did not want to give up the annual tradition of editing the Successus. The staff, with the help of other students, has put forth much effort to bring to the students and faculty the story and picture of life at U.C.H.S.

Copies were given to each student in both Senior and Junior high school. Miss Betty Bayfield, sponsor and journalism teacher, was largely responsible for the success of the Westerner. Gene Bennett was appointed editor with Lois Lantz and Jim Bartholomew as assistants. The staff did its best to stimulate interest in the Hospital Drive, Sixth War Loan, and many other projects throughout the year. Art editors, helped in making the paper attractive and unique. Original compositions by high school and junior high students were published in various issues. An exchange of school newspapers was held with several schools in Indiana and Ohio. At the beginning of the second semester the Westerner was published by a new staff. FIRST SEMESTER STAFF Editor ..........

Miss Bayfield Q. . . The Girls' Athletic Association was reorganized this fall by a committee of four high school girls, a member from each class, and Miss Mary Lou Sears as sponsor. This organization is to develop good sportsmanship and interest in girls' sports. Our planned activities include basketball, kickball, volleyball, and ring tennis. The following officers were elected: Roberta Reid, president; Helen Rosenbush, secretary-treasurer; Marilyn Thomas, program chairman; Janet Kantner, point chairman. 9uiA ntu uGd . . . Again this year, as in previous years, an intramural basketball schedule was carried out for those boys not playing with the Wildcats or Kittens. Mr. Grime was in charge of this activity.

Captains of the teams are: Joan Welch, Loon Goons; Annabelle Welch, Front Burners; Earlene Merritt, Slick Chicks: Marcella Whistler, Rug Cutters; Peg Huffer, Boogie Beats; Marilyn Temme, Jumpin' Jivers. Joan Mangas is the League’s secretary. The games were figured on a handcap basis. This gave the team with the lower averaged bowlers a chance to win. Most of the members were inexperienced or entirely new at the game but that didn't stop them from having a lot of good, clean fun. The season was the best we have had for several years and the competition was keen. [ 35 ] QIgumom i . . . Formals and slippers . . . dirdnls and pumps . . . blazers and loafers.

As Mr. Sandburg walked onto the stage a silence fell over the audience. All eyes were turned on the tall, white-haired man wearing a black suit and his usual bow tie. Mr. Sandburg, scanning the audience with his expressive blue eyes, began to speak. His voice was deep and powerful, and resounded .through the vacant halls. Mr. Sandburg’s program was divided into three parts. He first lectured on Lincoln and told several anecdotes about him. His lecture was delivered in a sincere, clear-cut view of his subject. The second portion of the program was the recitation of several of his poems. The audience felt quite honored to hear a poem that he had written and was reciting for the first time. Mr. Sandburg remarked that he had written it for the Phi Beta Kappa honor fraternity at William and Mary’s College. In the third part of his program, Mr. Sandburg turned to the lighter side, and sang some American folk songs, accompanying himself on the guitar. Mr. Sandburg presented a well-rounded program scattered with bits of humor and wise philosophy. Born in Galesburg, Illinois, Mr. Sandburg started working after leaving high school at thirteen. He volunteered in the Spanish-American war and went to Puerto Rico. After he returned he attended Lombard College at Galesburg. His greatest works are his six volumes on the life of Abraham Lincoln, The Prairie Years and The War Years. In 1940 they won Mr. Sandburg the Pulitizer Prize. Mr. Sandburg is outstanding as the poet of industrial America; and his poems, written in the language of the common worker, are protests against social injustice. [ 40 ] This season Mr. St. Myers, last year’s second team coach, took over the job of coaching the Wildcats. Under his able direction the Wildcats had a very successful season and came out at the top of the county net standings with fourteen wins and three losses. Tom Jefferis has been the student manager of the team. Wilx$XXiti • • • The Union City Wildcats enjoyed a very successful season throughout their scheduled games with fourteen wins and only three losses. These thre were to Muncie, Dunkirk, and Redkey. However, such a g(x d season docs not necessarily mean a winning tournament team. During the Saratoga Invitational Tournament the Wildcats were defeated by Jackson, Ind. in their first game by a small margin. The Union City five entered the Sectional Tourney with the best of chances and high hopes. Nevertheless the dream of becoming tourney champs was shot in the first game played. The Lynn Bulldogs with a powerful zone defense were table to squeeze out a two-point advantage as the game ended, 31-33. Even with the poor tourney luck the Wilcats deserve much credit for a marvelous record through the season which, by the way is the best any Union City squad has mustered in several years. The team was hit hard by graduation, losing seven of the ten varsity players. Among these seven, Whitesel, Huffer, Rosenbush, and Dye usually formed the opening line-up. Meredith, O’Connor, and Bennett broke into the list quite often. Stentzel, Cotter, and Brown will remain to form the nucleus of Wildcat team next year. 9t' Pep . . . In the fall of the year a special assembly was held for the election of cheer leaders. Try-outs were held for different teams participating, and Janet, Jean, and Iris were elected. They have done well in leading our cheering section throughout the basketball season.

They won only nine out of their seventeen contests but in eight county games they suffered only one defeat. The Kittens twice defeated their areh rivals, the Winchester Bees, and they put up stubborn resistance against the Muncie seconds only to be outdistanced in the final minutes of play, 23-17. They won the coveted Randolph County pony shoe from Winchester in their second encounter and successfully defended it throughout the remainder of the season.

Mr. Grimme worked hard with the team and they showed rapid improvement but, due to the lack of experience, they were able to win only one of the four games they played. Some new equipment was purchased this year for the team, including new uniforms and baseballs and bats. As yet no games have been scheduled for this spring but we will have had more experience and are looking forward to a much improved team.

Johnny, (12:30 A.M.) : I hope I'm not keeping you up. Eileen (yawning) : You're keeping me up but not awake. To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows—and I needn't. A girl begins by resisting a boy's advances and ends up by blocking his retreat. Hardly a man is now alive; who passed on a hill at 75. Donna: When I took this job in this store I didn’t have a nickel in my pocket. Now I have a NICKEL in my pocket. Local business man: You should feel highly honored. I have refused to see six magazine salesmen today. Joan H.: Yes, I know, I'm them. Helen: Not only has Jack broken my heart and wrecked my life, but he’s ruined my whole evening! Betty H.: I play the piano, but only for my own amazement. An intelligent girl is one who knows how to refuse a kiss without being deprived of it. Miss Bayfield: I didn't know you were suffering with a cold. Bob Allen: Sure! What else can you do with one? Jack Mangas: I had a “butch” haircut last fall but it’s almost healed up now. Joe Teaford: I'd walk a mile for a Camel, the advertisement used to say — today you have to. Now days it is proper to classify all sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles who live more than “three gallons away” as distant relatives. You’ve got a pug nose, do they run in your family? Only in real cold weather. Mrs. Fulk: Don't you want to be the kind of girl people look up to? Iris: No, I wanna be the kind they look around at. Advice to the thin: “Don't eat fast. Advice to the fat: “Don't eat.” . . . Fast. He: Since I’ve met you I can't eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t drink. She: Why not, Honey? He: I’m broke. J. C.: I’m not on guard tonight, Babe! Babe: No? Well, I am, soldier. What ever trouble Adam had No man in days of yore. Could say when Adam told a joke “I’ve heard that one before.” [ 46 ] . . .
