Foreword The hope that the Wigwam of ”45” will help to recall many of the friendships formed and the achievements accomplished is our aim in publish- ing this book. — Seniors of ’45. DEDICATION In these trying days of strife, our hearts and minds turn to those who are now serving in the armed forces of their country. In full realization of all that they are doing, we, the senior class of nineteen hundred and forty-five, dedicate this book to the service men who have attended Warren Central High School in the past twenty years.

Page 4 SENIORS OF ’45 CLASS HISTORY The Senior Class of 1945 has the distinction of graduating on the twentieth anniversary of the first graduation from Warren Central High School. Consisting of one hundred and twenty-three students, it, also, is one of the largest classes that has been graduated from the school. Looking back over the past four years, we find many outstanding events, one of which was in ’42 when we went to the finals in the County Tourney. Also, during the four years, many students have participated in oratorical and achievement contests which have brought further dis- tinction to our school. Several dances have been given, some of which were the Christmas dance, the Spring dance, and many other informal affairs. Our class boasts a band director — Dick Powers, who has his own swing band, and a mighty good one. we might add — that plays for dances here and at many other schools. While there are some of our classmates serving in the armed forces who will receive their diplomas, many who would have been graduated with us, left earlier for service. Among them are Clyde Miller who is in the navy; Charles Hadley, army; Charles Nichols, army; Richard Dove, navy; Joe Drinkut, marines; and Bob Featherstone, navy. This last year has been a full and eventful one, but all the seniors are looking forward to Commencement night, after which they will take positions in the business world and start on that journey to success.

He enters into all, fills the places in the clubs and activities of the senior who is passing on. Next year it is he who must confront the problems of graduation and endure the continuous flow of senior activities, so while he can be, he is jolly. From the time the first call for football was issued until the close of school, juniors were prominent in all sports. Juniors next year will carry the standard of Warren through victory and defeat and the junior year’s experi- ence will make them the most valuable pillars of the school. Page 24 I SOPHOMORES The sophomore enters his second year of high school with a new kind of confidence and a thankfulness that he is no longer a freshman. Immediately he informs the rhinie that he is cock of the roost ’ 5 and has decided to give a little walking party. Ofttimes quite a feud develops for supremacy. Thundering down the halls in truly col- legiate” style he broadcasts his every trouble far and wide. The fair young ladies of his classes set about to make themselves more handsome and suddenly a new rosiness blushes forth. Cares are flung aside, as are books and studies — the age of jazz arrives — he is a sophomore, he is going into society. Such is the life of a sophomore. Page 25 FRESHMAN In the halls of Warren the freshman, proverbially green, timid, dumb, and blundering, appeared on the first day of school as he has for so many years, wondering what it was all about. But not for long. Defying even his traditional enemy, the sophomore, during the year he gathered many honors and established a place for himself in the halls of Warren High. The freshman class has won many honors and its mem- bers have proved themselves worthy of consideration in the future. Page 26 SECTIONS 1 and 3 EIGHTH SECTIONS 2 and 4 Page 27 SECTIONS 1 ana jl SEVENTH SECTIONS 3 and 4 Page 28 SENIOR CHORUS and MADRIGAL This year has been a busy one for the Senior Chorus for there have been a number of outstanding activities. On October 27, the Senior Chorus, composed of sixty-four members, took part in the All-State Chorus. The Fall concert on November 8 was the next appearance for the group. ' The Mocking Bird,” a delightfully tuneful oper- etta in which the principals and chorus appeared in color- ful costumes depicting the 18th century in New Orleans, was presented on December 6. On March 27, Warren acted as host for the County Choral Festival. During the Lenten Season the Chorus furnished music for some of the downtown churches. This was followed by a formal Spring Concert on May 8. Singing for the Senior Vesper service was the final ap- pearance of the Chorus for the year. The Madrigal Singers represented Warren a number of times during the school year by appearing on various programs in and near Indianapolis. The first program of the year was given for the Deans’ Meeting during Teachers Association. The group has sung for a number of church and P.-T. A. organizations. During the yuletide season the group gave a Christmas program on the Monument Circle Page 29 ill I jjj: BAND Starting out the year with the annual fall concert, the band got off to a flying start on the year’s activities. Although transportation difficulties made it impossible for members to participate in the usual contests, the band played for many special occasions. Besides the fall concert, they played in the Tri-Township Band Clinic; furnished the music for the pep sessions, basketball games and foot- ball games; and also played at a bond rally. The music department’s annual magazine sales campaign helped not only the band and orchestra, but also the athletic depart- ment as well. Members of the band also participated in a solo and ensemble contest. Leaders of the various sections are Fred Matzke, saxo- phone; Richard Powers, trombone; Pat Jennings, wood- wind; Eugene Bardonner, trumpet; Joan Windish, French horn; Ted Archer, bass; Warren Timmerman, baritone; and Ruth Ellen Middleton, drums. Page 30 ORCHESTRA With their playing at the commencement exercises, the orchestra ends its season. Members of the orchestra played for P.-T. A. meetings; the Christmas program; the operetta, ' The Mocking Bird;” the Mothers’ Tea; and Founder’s Day program. The orchestra also joined the band in presenting their annual Fall Concert. Some of the members of the band also play in the orchestra.

It was nineteen years ago that the Warrenette Club, sponsored by Mrs. Myrtle M. Rodden, was first organized. That first year the club had a membership of twenty-five girls. Today, the Warrenettes have a total membership of two hundred girls. Chosen to take over the duties of president and chaplin were Esther Pollard and Mary Jean Thomas when Jeanne Curry and Sydney Berry, first semester officers, left for college. The purpose of the club is to assist in providing oppor- tunity for personal development of the members; to serve the school and community; and to improve the individual in general education, religious education, and social educa- tion. Some of the school programs that the Warrenettes have sponsored are Mr. Liddle’s Guidance Program; Sweater Hop; Hobo Convention; Thanksgiving baskets; Christ- mas stockings for the boys in the service; Mrs. Clara Rey- nolds’ book review; Semi-formal Christmas Dance; and the annual Mother’s Valentine Tea.

Next to the Warrenette Club the Hi-Y is the oldest organization of the school. It is now composed of 43 members from the junior and senior classes. The purpose of the Hi-Y is: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high stand- ards of Christian character.” The annual presentation of the Hi-Y is the father and son banquet. Also, other activities that have been spon- sored by the club include: the candle lighting Fire of Friendship service; the all-county guidance program for school led by Mr. Liddle; picnic at Christian Park; sweater hop; weiner roast; induction ceremony of probationary members, and also they purchased a new pop corn machine for the school. The officers for the year 1944-43 are: President, Plarold Carroll; Vice-President, Dick Powers; Corresponding Sec- retary, Paul Alexander; Recording Secretary, Harold Taylor; Sergeant-at-arms, Fred Matzke.

Mr. Fred L. Pierpont is the teacher sponsor. Promoting scholarship, leadership, character, and serv- ice have been the purpose of this organization. Securing the speaker from the American Press Associa- tion for Education Week, was the organization’s contribu- tion for this program. The speaker spoke on Foreign Affairs. Senior members of the organization are Dick Fall, Barbara Swarm, Jeanne Curry, James Kemper, Fred Mas- terson, Sydney Berry, Paul Alexander, Harold Carroll, Mary Jean Thomas, Esther Pollard, Ellen Keever, Mary Anne Zahm, Edith Lou Amos, Roger Gale, Charles Suite, Robert Garriott, Harold Taylor, Pauline Mull, Pat Jen- nings, Margaret Morris, and Earl Dixon. Page 36 JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY Left to right: Harry Kuper, Peggy Spriggs, Jack Fowler, Mr. Sprunger, and Nell Marie Kinzd. The National Junior Honor Society of the Warren Central High School received its charter on December 12, 1940. Those pupils of the ninth and tenth grades who rank high in scholastic achievement, leadership, service, character, and school citizenship receive consideration for membership. To be eligible for membership a pupil must have attended this school for one year. This society was established for the purpose of recog- nizing fine achievements and qualities in our students. It is then an honorary organization rather than one with definite activities. In the past, however, this group has accepted various responsibilities and has carried out some projects. The members have assisted in patriotic assign- ments, have planned and carried out programs or convoca- tions and have contributed to the well-being of the student body by securing the large secondary clocks in the cafeteria and gymnasium. Mr. R. P. Sprunger has been the faculty sponsor of this organization since its beginning in the school. Page 37 SENIOR COUNCIL Left to right: Harold Taylor, Ellen Keever, Sydney Berry, Richard Powers, Kenneth Cannaday, John Leamon, Jeanne Curry, Frank Norwalk, and Earl Dixon. The Senior Council was composed of nine members who are Jeanne Curry, John Leamon, Kenneth Cannaday, Sydney Berry, Dick Powers, Harold Taylor, Ellen Keever, Earl Dixon, and Frank Norwalk. The purpose of this organization was to represent the Senior class activities; to cooperate with other classes for the good of the school and cooperate with the faculty and faculty committees in furthering the interest of the senior class and the school. Serving on committees for the Christmas Dance, Hobo Convention, Sweater Hop and the Senior Production were the various activities in which the council participated. Page 38 STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES Left to right: Emma Grace Wiese, Fred Matzke, Mr. C. E. Eash, Ralph Smith, and Barbara Ann Gale. The Student Representatives for the past year were chosen from the first and seventh period classes. One stu- dent was elected from each of these classes. Discussing, planning, and promoting student activities here at Warren Central constituted the purposes of this organization. Mrs. Rodden and Mr. Eash composed the faculty board. Page 39 JUNIOR HISTORICAL SOCIETY Left to right: Mr. Pierpont, Eugene Reilly, Pat Jennings, William McKinstray, and Eileen Dora. At a meeting held in Marion, Indiana, on April 7, 1938, students interested in Indiana history and history teachers from all over the state met to form a society to further the study of Indiana history. Here, the Indiana Junior Historical Society was formed and soon added chapters over the state. Mr. C. E. Eash represented War- ren at this meeting. In 1940, a chapter was formed at Warren Central, sponsored by Mr. A. Wayne Murphy. Since 1942, when Mr. Murphy left for the service, Fred L. Pierpont has been the faculty sponsor. In 1943 and 1944 the spring state convention of the Indiana Junior Historical Society was held at Warren. This school has held at least one state office ever since the club was formed. A list of the names and addresses of Warren Central’s servicemen was prepared by the club last fall. Also, the club prepared a program during National Education Week. In December the Second Annual Breakfast of the Club was held, attended by the school officials and social studies teachers in addition to the club members. In January a bulletin was prepared on Warren Township and Indiana history. Page 40 SUNSHINE Seated left to right: Betty Mowry, Myra Mahrling, and Betty Eytchison. Standing left to right: Marion Brown, Barbara Rosell, Betty McKenzie, Harolda Green, Marion Hon, Jesslyn Ball, and Virginia Rodebeck. The Sunshine Society started the fall term with a busy but interesting schedule. The routine matter of getting definitely organized was the first problem. The president, Betty Eytchison and recording secretary, Jesslyn Ball, had been chosen before the close of school in the spring but the other officers were elected at the first fall meeting. On the second Saturday in November the society was hostess to the third District State Sunshine Convention. This was an all-day meeting with the schools of 22 counties attending. The theme of the convention was Melody of Love.” Miss Nellie Young, of the Central Christian Church of Indianapolis, was the principal speaker. Lunch- eon was served in the cafeteria with a model initiation fol- lowing in the afternoon. At the holiday season the girls entertained with Christ- mas parties for the Lreshman boys. On March 9th a Sweetheart Skating Party was held at Rollerland to raise money for the Riley Lund which is a state project of the organization. The yearly local project has been the Sunshine Emblem placed in the library. Each month a new pennant of some radiant color appeared among the sunbeams denoting the sun was to shine upon that certain phase of life for the month. The club hopes that some little ray of sunshine was spread through this venture. ■ Page 41 1 CLUB Yell Leaders — Left to right: Charles Swarm, Barbara Taylor, Donald Mercer, and Beverly McClintick. Yea! Rah! Give a cheer! A cheer for the swell job the yell leaders have done by inspiring our yelling section to new heights for cheering and for keeping behind our boys at all the games this year. Maybe the fact that we have, for the first time in the history of Warren Central, two girl yell leaders in addition to our two boys had something to do with the new interest the students, especially the boys, showed in the yelling. This is the second year for the Pep Club, which was organized by the Athletic Directors and the Physical Educa- tion teachers. The purpose of the group is to work in co- operation with the Yell leaders, to help them with the school yells, boost the morale of both the players and the students, and to see that good sportsmanship is carried on among the student body during the athletic games. A. A. Left to right: Eileen Dora, Jane Eash, Pat Free, Miss Shimer, and Edith Lou Amos. The Girls Athletic Association has been active in vari- ous sports such as baseball, basketball, tumbling, badmin- ton, volleyball, and also ballet dancing. The organization meets on Tuesday and Thursday, and activities vary ac- cording to the season. Pins were obtained this year and sweaters will be awarded. Letters and numerals are given according to points earned in various activities. One hun- dred fifty points are required to earn a letter and 2 50 points for a numeral. This organization, organized by Miss Ruth Shimer has been active for two years. Page 43 Left to right: Eugene Reeves and Mr. Cooper. CORRIDOR MONITOR There he is. Careful! He might see you. Come on, we’ll go this way. Whoops, another one! In case you are wondering what is going on, it’s just another class skipper,” trying to skip past a corridor monster (pardon) monitor. But really, they aren’t so bad! Are they? TRAFFIC SQUAD Left to right: Mr. Gates, Robert Blankenship, and Robert Swarm. To convince the student that by helping to keep order on the bus is insuring his own safety is easier said than done. But this is the job of the traffic officers and their job is not an easy one as you can readily guess. Page 44 FOOTBALL Football is steadily growing in in- terest at Warren as was shown when 68 boys responded to the call for candidates last season. In the first game of the season the team put forth an aerial attack in the final seconds to gain a tie with Southport. A great comeback by the team was staged at Kirklin. After trail- ing 12-0 at half-time, they returned to over-power Kirklin and roll on to a 23-12 victory. Another feat for the fighting Warriors was their being the first team to cross Shortridge’s home line in two years. To put a fitting climax to the season was the chicken dinner at Buckley’s.

The Warriors advanced to the semi-finals in both the County Tourney and Sectionals, although outscored by their opponents 722 to 681. Two of our boys, Ray Smith and Kenneth Cannaday won all county honors, while Smith and Jim Curry were placed on the all sectional teams. Warren held the county Dope Box” once during the season. The Warriors took it from Lawrence Central in their third game, but lost it to Ben Davis in their next outing. This is the first time Warren ever held this coveted Box” since it was originated four years ago. Harold Carroll, senior guard, was selected honorary captain of the netmen. Scoring honors of the season went to Ray Smith. Ray had 148 points, while Carroll, his closest competitor, had 120. Graduating members of the team are Carroll, Cannaday, Taylor, Matzke, Dick Winnings, and Norwalk. The reserve basketball squad, coached by Herbert Schowmeyer, had an excellent sea- son, winning fifteen of eighteen games.

Bill Brown not in picture. With no holdovers from last year’s squad which won the county championship, Coach Walter Mowrey was forced to look ahead to the building of next year’s team. This year the local harriers placed third in the county, lost five dual meets, and took third in a three way event. Graduating members of the squad are Bill LeFeber, Eugene Reilly, and Fred Masterson. Dick Washmuth, sophomore, was the ace of the squad, leading the Warren winners to the take in all but two races.

The period we look forward to and mourn for when it’s over. Maybe you’ve guessed which period we mean now. Good old lunch time! ! !

Standing left to right: Barbara Applegate, Virginia Butler, Pat Buckner, Ruth Ellen Middleton, Barbara Beckcrt, Marjorie Pleaccck, Pat Wilson, and Jane Eask, JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The junior play, Nine Girls,” was a mystery drama starring an all-girl cast under the direction of Miss Josephine Spear. Mary Rohlman, Pat Free, Marjorie Heacock, Joan Butler, Virginia Butler, Jane Eash, Pat Wil- son, Jackie Hertweck, Pat Buckner, and Betty Mier were the cast of the play. Ruth Ellen Middleton was the prompter. The story was of nine girls, two of whom were most ruthlessly murdered during a vacation in their sorority clubhouse in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains. One of the nine girls is the murderess. Which one in the picture locks the most villainous to you? Page 58 CHRISTMAS DANCE The Christmas Dance — one of the times we will always remember with greatest pleasure. The lights were low, the music was soft and there was a smell of mistletoe in the air. It was just this side of heaven. With punch and donuts besides. SENIOR PRODUCTION ?w ' h Tmu v Page 60 We meant to have all pictures on this page but . . . Anyhow the Senior Production was called The Bloomin’ Thing” for lack of anything else to call the bloomin’ thing. Directed by Kenny Cannaday, Ike Leamon and Dick Powers, the all-star, all-senior class cast presented The Thing” to a capacity house on March 2. Opening the production was a Schoolroom scene, com- plete with a teacher and faculty impersonators as pupils, which started as a typical Warren classroom but ended in a jive session. Spiced with variety, the second act was a Vaudeville, containing piano, accordion, vocal, and clarinet solos; ballet, acrobatic, can-can, and imitation can-can dances; a slumber party scene; and ended with a comedy skit and chorus. As a dashing finale, the Radio Act, consisting of com- mercials, singing commercials, and a soap-opera serial, featured Dick Powers’ swing band. But the Bloomin’ Thing has faded, The Seniors of ’45 are leaving Warren; With us we are taking a hundred memories of happy times, ■ And a few regrets for the things we might have done but didn’t. To the Class of ’46 we say, ' Carry On’.” WHEN IN IRVINGTON Shop — at- OODMASTER OODS 1RST Irvington’s Jeweler 5620 E. WASHINGTON ST.
