SAM BOWLBY Sam, a little light for football, perhaps, but following in the footsteps of his brothers, made a name for himself in his junior year. VICTOR MODRICKER “V ie” developed into a good backfield man about the middle of the season and saw action in the major part of the games. ‘Vic’ was a favorite among his team-mates and helped to promote a spirit in the games that will be missed next year. JAMES NIBLICK “Jimmie,” lightest fellow on the team, showed up re- markably well in the Peru game. Although light he was fast and an exceptionally good ball carrier. “Nib” will be sorely missed next year. ROBERT HARVEY “Bob” is the kind of lineman who is always on the job, taking bumps and bruises with a smile. We’ll see more of Bob next year . DON KUFFEL “Kuff” had a reputation about school of being a man with more pep and fight in a game than almost any two men on the line. His flying tackles and wonderful de- fensive game were the talk of the school. His ability was also recognized by his being chosen on the all-state second team. Don will be sadly missed next year. THE SYCAMORE JAMES DURNBAUGH “Ding,” a veteran backfield man, was a good punt- receiver and a good passer. “Ding” was the punter of the team, and played a steady, consistent game all thru the season. Good luck to ‘‘Ding” on some college team. WILLIAM SHOLTY “Doc,” our big dynamic right tackle, stopped many a line plunge and opened up the opponents’ line when it became Wabash’s turn to carry the ball. “Doc” is one of the few remaining regulars for next year. JAMES CHRISTLE The snarling countenance of our big Italian guard, “Spagett,” was enough to dishearten any opponent. “Chris” got down to work this year and played the kind of ball that his size and ability merit. This is his third and last year on the varsity. ROBERT HOFFMAN “Bob” played at different positions in the back-field but finally ended up at end where he seldom let an end run escape unchallenged. Bob will be back next year and will probably be one of our stars. CARL BUEHLER “Sachel” did his part in filling the place at center and, after he had become thoroughly acquainted with the posi- tion, few of his passes went wild. His experience this year makes him a very promising center for next year. THE SYCAMORE THOMAS MARTIN “Tom,” playing in the backfield, was ideally built for football and was an adept passer. He showed good form all thru the season and should go over big next year. FRANK McVICKER “Mac” came into prominence the last part of the season, playing at end. His defensive work improved greatly during the season and everybody is expecting big things of Frank next year. JOE WAKEFIELD “Big Bo,’ Wabash’s fast-moving, hard-hitting end, became the hero of the Elwood game when he intercepted a lateral pass and ran for a touch-down. “Bo’s” end posi- tion will be hard to fill next year. FLOYD MYERS “Pretzel” was another lineman with plenty of pep and fight. There are, as a rule, no spectacular open-field tackles for a lineman, but “Pretzel’’ certainly got in his share of stopping the other teams’ advances. JAMES DE ARMOND “Whitey,” playing at center and end, proved to the football fans that he could play football. He will be one of the mainstays in next year’s team. HAROLD SMITH “Smithy” was our center and one of the best defense men on the line. He had numerous misfortunes during the season but was back in the game with more fight than ever, almost before his injuries would permit. He received ‘ honorable mention on the all-state selections. THE SYCAMORE Summary of 1931 Football Season Old Man Hard Luck seemed to be right on the shoulders of our pigskin carriers this year. The majority of them weighed somewhere near 150 pounds, which, after all, is rather light for a football team. Coach Struck started out this year with six regulars, but most of these were the lightest men from last year’s team. For the rest of his team he had to pick out the heaviest and the fastest of his last year’s reserves. Out of the reserves came new centers, new ends, new backfield men, and others. Thru hard and almost unceasing practice the coach managed to develop a team which could handle the ball fairly well and his next job was to teach them how to make gains without the necessary weight and speed. You’ll have to admit, gentle readers, that Coach Struck had a‘ job on his hands when he started out this year. His best hope was to get the players into a frame of mind so that they could get into a game with the fight and pep that it takes to get anywhere in football. Wabash had a pretty tough schedule, all big teams, and in spite of the fact they were all small men, they made a good record, which shows what Wabash football players are made of. From the standpoint of athletics we can say that the season was a success, for athletics in high school are for the development of body, mind, and spirit. The THE SYCAMORE experience that the fo otball men gained this season along these lines was certainly not in vain. SCHEDULE Muncie—there Kokomo—here Plymouth—here Mishawaka—here Huntington—there Ft. Wayne (S. S.)—there Elwood—there Peru—here Marion—there Last year’s track team, which saw its action after the Sycamore went to press, placed only two men in the district meet at Peru. Herbert Bent took second place in the high hurdles and Alfred Plummer took third place in the pole vault. Bent, there- fore, represented Wabash in the State meet held in Indianapolis, but he failed to cenrat During the season Wabash lost to Huntington in a dual meet by a few points, took second place in the relay event held at North Side of Ft. Wayne, and entered the Kokomo relays the following week but failed to place. Wabash has only two veterans returning this year, namely, Bill Hale and Bob Showalter, who will represent us in the dashes. ie THE SYCAMORE 1931-1932 APACHE BASKETBALL TEAM First Row: Durnbaugh, Sailors, Pretorius, Niblick. Second Row: Modricker, DeArmond, Coach Struck, Manager Porter, Christle, Honorary Captain Yarnelle. EEE en THE SYCAMORE ROBERT YARNELLE Honorary Captain. The season of ’31, ’32, marked the end of four glorious years of basketball for “Yarnie.” Playing two years at forward and two at guard, he never failed the coach and the school but always gave all that was in him. Good-bye and good-luck to a true sportsman and a star player. JAMES CHRISTLE “Chris” proved a big stumbling block in the progress of more than one Wabash’s opponents. He had the kind of pep and fight in a ball game that made the crowd urge him on. When “Ch ris” said a certain person wasn’t going to get any points, he didn’t. JAMES DURNBAUGH “Ding” was high point man on the team and his beauti- es Sie ful shots from around the foul circle seldom failed to hit +2222, the basket. This is “Ding’s” second year on the varsity Ween and he proved to be one of our stars, playing real basket-- ball and gaining victories for us more than once. VICTOR MODRICKER Good old “Vic,” a hard worker and a snappy player, never failed to bring a rousing cheer from the crowd when one of Wabash’s plays clicked and “Vic” shot under for a basket. “Vic” really took basketball seriously and played a steady, consistent type of ball the whole season through. — JACK SAILORS “Swede,” the tall lanky center, was a god-send to the team this year. He developed into a basketball player and an athlete before the season was over. “Swede” could surely string up the points and we wonder what Wabash will do without him next year. JAMES NIBLICK This was “Nib’s” first year on the varsity and altho small, he was plenty speedy and had a beautiful long shot which often scored when the team most needed it. He held down the forward position and we’re sorry he hasn’t another year, for we know he’d again make good. EUGENE PRETORIUS “Pre” did a lot of mighty fine work at back guard and put up some surprising exhibi ions just when things looked worst. We were lucky to have a player like “Gene,” as he is the kind of man that makes a team good. More than one of our victories was due to his ability at guard. THE SYCAMORE Review of Basketball Season Trouncing a good team in mid-season form is a hard job for a team just starting in, but Wabash surely did it when they forced the Indians to bite the dust. Playing real basketball in their first game of the season, the Wabash team walked all over the Chippewa Indians. The first half Chippewa put up a fight that made the game both interesting and exciting, but the second half the Indians were left behind and the game ended with the encouraging score of 35-19. Making up for their defeat at Warsaw the week before, the Apaches brought the Lagro Comets to earth with a score of 27-16. Lagro played good ball and piled up a score against Wabash in the first half but could not with-stand the swift onslaught in the second half. In one of the most exciting games of the season Wabash downed the tall, fast North Side team by a close score of 26-24. The team repeated their usual procedure of waiting till the last half to play ball, but when that time came they really did it. Numerous fouls were called altho the game was not of the rough tyne. Ft. Wayne had piled up a large score, but the Apaches finally tied it at 23-23; a foul tossed by each team made it 24-24; and a beautiful Jong shot by Durnbaugh, just before the gun, chalked up another triumph for W. H. S. The Apaches lost by two points in a close exciting game with Central of North Manchester. The score was 21-19 in favor of the Trojans. The present Wabash team was defeated by their forerunners, the Alumni, in a charity game with a score of 19-29. The Alumni lineup wes composed of Plummer, Mattern, Walters, Cullers, King, McDowell, Baker, Bent, and Shivers. The Vikings from Huntington fell victim to a swift onslaught from Wabash, who defeated them with a score of 26-19. In the Big 4 Tourney the Wabash five gave Warsaw a real drubbing and proved that their defeat by them a few weeks before must have had an element of hard luck in it. In the finals the strong Huntington team brought down the Apaches with a heavy score. Wabash lost a tough game at Auburn in an evenly matched scrap. The Apaches played good ball tho and in the last half nearly turned back defeat, but the game ended 20-25 in their opponents’ favor. “Dutch’s” boys were no match for the taller, faster Lafayette squad and altho they played in good last-half style they were defeated 39-20. The Marion Giants toppled the Apaches by using a close defensive system after running up a good score in the first half. The game ended with a 24-16 victory for Marion. Elwood was the next victim for the team and the Apaches ran up a 13-6 lead in the first half. Playing smoothly and consistently, they managed to close the fray with a 25-17 score. Starting the month of February out in excellent fashion the Wabash five com- pletely swamped the hard-working Linlawn Pirates with a score of 29-6. On the next evening the Alexandria team, one of the best in the state, took the Apaches over for a 32-13 score. The Trojans were downed in their own gym by the Apaches who maintained a high shooting accuracy throughout the entire game. Yarnelle and Sailors starred in boosting the score up to a final 21-13. The Urbana team was easily taken over by the second-string in a cautious battle, the score totaling 27-18. a ee a 1932 eee THE SYCAMORE The Apaches played one of their best games of the year against the Hartford City Airdales when they defeated them in their big gym by a score of 24-16. With plays clicking perfectly, Wabash led at the half 12-8 and worked up to a 15-12 lead at the third quarter. Durnbaugh starred in point making. On the evening following the Hartford City bout, the Apaches ran up against the Marion Giants on the local hardwood and were veritably nosed out in an overtime game, 20-18. The gun cracked at 16-16, and in the overtime Wabash made one basket, whereas Leas of Marion sank two from the middle of the floor. The Apaches trampled the Lafontaine Cossacks for a 20-8 count on the home floor in the next to last game of the season. ; In the last game of the season the Apaches were taken over by the Peru Tigers in a tough game. The team worked hard, but they seemed no match for the Tigers, who were fast and extremely fortunate on their shots. The wind-up of the season was the sad part of it. No one felt the brunt of it like the fellows themselves. Their disappointment was keenly evidenced in the way they talked after the final game when they were defea ted by the Somerset quintet. Somerset played a real game and it was a point-to-point fight all the way thru. On the whole the Apaches had a successful season, winning more than half of their games, and, from the standpoint of the schedule they had to face, this was very good. 1931-1932 SCHEDULE Wabash. ewe 35 SHIP Pe Wate. screen etl 19 Wabash® ste ss 16 Wi TS 2 Woo ee ee es ee es Bee 20 Wiabash.. ares eee 26 Tia prt ed ie a a 17 Wabashe sss 26 North Sid® (Ft.

Hoffman, Miller, Walter. The wrestling season this year may have been a failure as far as scoring was con- cerned, but it certainly held the interest of all those concerned. The wrestlers them- selves were greatly benefited by the season. Of the four Wabash wrestlers who went to Bloomington, Ross Curts was the only man who placed in the state. Wrestling in the 115 lb. class, he placed second. This is the second year that Curts has represented Wabash and the second time that he has placed. las . 1932 THE SYCAMORE WABASH HIGH SNOWBALLS 1931-1932 Front Row: Rettig, Stewart (Student Manager), Davidson.

It has been four years since the Wabash girls have lost a; game on their home floor. During this time, they have dropped two closely-contested scraps to Auburn, both of which were played on the Auburn floor. Four of the regulars are lost to the squad by graduation.

Out for every practice faithfully, they gave the best that was in them, in order to provide competition for the regulars. All of the reserve squad saw some action, even in the major contests. After Beanie’s injury, young Davidson stepped into her shoes and played as regular in the last three contests. Goodlander and Young, who joined the team in mid-season, were faithful workers and splendid reserve material. Sloan and Dohse at the center positions gave the regulars a run for their money at all scrimmages, and kept them hustling to stay on the first outfit. Reeves and Vande- grift as second team guards played nice ball all season and were called on several times to play on the first squad. Shivers was forced to quit the team in mid-season, owing to a weakened physical condition after a hard attack of flu. Baum, a regular from last year, was out all season, because of an auto accident in which her collar bone was broken. | “SS 1932 Pople THE SYCAMORE PRATT: Playing her first season as a regular guard, Bessie has developed a fast, air-tight defense game. She uses her head consistently, out-thinking her opponent in most cases, and sticking rigidly to her opponent. Her game has developed steadily thru-out the year and the last game of the season with Tipton, saw Pratt playing at peak form. Few fouls were ever called on her, as her game was ex- ceptionally free of them. Pratt has played with the squad three years. She is a senior. KING: Honorary Captain. Few girls can handle the ball in the “boyish” manner that Jerry does. Her accurate passing, speed, and agility have been a large item in the Snowball offensive. Her close guarding and ability to “get the ball” have braced the defensive game tremenduously. For four years Jerry has trained religiously, but this season was her first as a regular. No girl on the squad deserves her “W” more than King, who has stuck to the team in the face of adversity. Jerry, tho not graduating, is a “four-year-man” and will be unable to play next year. SMYERS: “Bill’ has played three years of spectacular ball as a regular forward on the “varsity.” Her ability to swish the net consistently has pulled many game out of the fire for Wabash. She has averaged 27 points per game in the thr ee seasons, which is a record few can duplicate. She is a senior and will graduate in June. THE SYCAMORE BIZJACK: At the jumping center position the 1931-1932 season found Mary “rarin’ to go” and she did! Her height, of course, is a big asset in the center position and her ability to give Wabash the tip-off proved a big item in the of- fensive game. Mary plays a clean, fast game. Few centers were able to out-jump her. This is her first year on the tam, and she is only a sophomore. DAVIDSON: “Beanie,” previous to a run of hard luck, held down the other forward position. She and Bill have been team- mates since Junior High School days and play a remarka- ble game together. While not scoring as many actual points as Bill, yet playing a front forward position, her accurate passes to Bill have been indirectly behind the scoring end of the game. A badly wrenched knee kept Beanie from participating in the last few games. She is a senior. PURDY: Out of a host of green material came Purdy to fill the guard position left vacant by Baum , who suffered a broken collar bone. Harle is a quick, hard player, with an ability to get around the floor skillfully, and outwit her opponent. Teamed with Pratt, they are a most consistent pair of hard-working players, with a willingness to learn and pep to carry it thru. Harle is but a sophomore. This is her first year on the Snowball squad. THE SYCAMORE JUNIOR INTERCLASS CHAMPIONS Front Row: Kuffel, L. Garpow. Second Row: Baumbauer, Sharp, King (Coach), Strey, (Manager), Ames, Siders. Third Row: Holmes, Sunday, Winebrenner, Lehman, Henry, Leland, Gackenheimer The class of 1933 walked off with the Inter-Class champion basketball trophy, by virtue of the 1,000 rating. To them goes the distinction of beating every class. They were coached by Jerry King, and Alice Strey acted as class manager. Their record is as follows: Juniors Juniors Juniors THE SYCAMORE Wakefield Flinn Sipole Delaplane Cowgill CLASS CHAMPS ’81 and ’82 Each year Coach Struck organizes a number of basketball teams in each of his five gym classes. These teams play a regular schedule and when this is completed, the five winners play a tourney to decide the championship.

In other words, school has started. The football squad puts up a hard battle every time, but the other side’s points always add up more than ours. OCTOBER: Ray, we won a game! Some of us are having peculiar ex- periences which we will look back upon as our “faded summer loves.” We begin to look into drawers for the good old ear muffs and red flannels as the weather gets cooler. Hallow’een—ghosts and phantoms and things that go “bump” in the night. (Also a few ribald celebrations). NOVEMBER: The Armistice. We have a commemor- ation service that brings a sober thought or two. ““Feetball” is now over. We can’t boast our record, but, anyway, we tried. DECEMBER: Basketball is well started. Not such a bad record so far. We all come back after holidays some- what the worse for wear. We wonder how many study periods it will take to sleep off the effects of vacation. THE SYCAMORE CALENDAR JANUARY: New Year’s Eve and Day. The basket- ball team scutches our old rivals, Hunt- ington. Semester tests arrive and a lot of us turn serious and wonder the why of what and wherefore of whichever. FEBRUARY: And of course we saw a regular fresh- man looking at a midyear freshman with an air of quiet superiority. Basketball season is now over, not nearly so bad a record as some teams have had. The team improved a lot and they were O.K. when the books were balanced—completely out of the red. MARCH: Heck! the team lost the tourney. There is no use rubbing salt in the cut. The best team in the tourney was Wabash, and that is that. If concrete proof’s necessary, please see the chronicler. Juniors had a play. A good play, but just as soon as we took our seats we had to get up and leave because the play was over. (It took place while we were in the act of sitting down). The school award letters around to various athletes who performed upon the mat and hardwood the season past. Everybody was glad to get payment in felt. Some got their first letters; others were old hands at the game. Wig eee THE SYCAMORE THE SYCAMORE CALENDAR—Continued APRIL: Spring! and a young man’s fancy— but why go all over that again. The Senior play.—now there was some- thing! It was really quite an affair. We surprised ourselves. Track starts. We are all bewildered by the roar of the broad jump and the clatter of the shot-put. Hic, Haec, Hoc, Heck! But Latin must be O. K. because N. Gilbert took a first in the district meet. MAY: Of course with Spring and all that, we begin to find our friends and the or- chestras walking out together again. We begin to wonder if we haven’t been working too hard; anyway we’re tired. We begin sort of having a feeling that we wished school weren’t so near over. We all experience that, I guess. And then finally the two upper-classes stage their big annual affair and we all wind it up in a big way. JUNE: We say “So long, old Alma Mater,” but—“what is so rare as a day in June.” JOKES Those of us who know not, and know not that we know not are far better off than those who know not and know that they know not. Next door neighbor to Mr. Tewksbury: “Really, Mr. Tewksbury, your fight with your wife last night was amusing.” Mr. Tewksbury: ‘“Wasn’t it though? And when she threw the axe at me I thought I’d split.” Editor of Annual: “How did the jokes in the Sycamore get over?” Junior Strey: ‘Probably on the May- flower.” Nancy Yopst: “You think your good looking, don’t you?” Frank McVicker: “No, but what’s my opinion against that of all the girls in school?” Mr. B.: woman.” Student: “Your mother?” Mr. B.: “No, my landlady.” “T owe all that I own to one Mrs. Niblick: “James, stop reaching across the table.
