SHUMAN Secretary of School Board The school board is composed of three individuals who are selected for the purpose of managing the business affairs of the school district. Since this is a consolidated school district the members are appointed by the town and township. Two of the members are selected by the Town Board of Waterloo. One of these is appointed to serve two years as a representative of Grant Township. The other is selected by the Town Board to represent Waterloo. The third member receives his place by virtue of his office of Township Trustee. Each of the appointed members serve a two year term, subject to reappointment. The township trustee receives his office by means of election and serves a four year term and is subject to reelection. -■I Page 8 FOREWARD It is amazing the strides science has taken in uncovering some of the mysteries of the world. Things which were but a dream a few years ago have become realities—in fact commonplace instruments of our civilization. One needs to take but one example to show the rapid development of an industry and a science. The idea of man flying had its beginning centuries ago, but the concept was to be realized with in the last sixty years. Since the flight of the Kitty-Hawk the steps toward man's conquering the air have been nothing short of phenomenal. New stratosphere ships with tremendous speed seems a reality. Now a great industry and a great science have developed around aviation. Needless to say the development of this science rests upon education which has provided man's mind with fundamentals of mathematics, sciences and general mental power. Now in our schools pupils are being prepared to take their place in the everchang-ing world. In spite of great handicaps the schools of America are foraging ahead preparing the youth for the future. The challenge of flight has been met but mankind still is confronted with many problems. One of these has to do with world relationships. Man’s social progress has not kept pace with his scientific and mechanical advancement. It is hoped that as the flight of man becomes a reality because of mans' determination to conquer the problem so will a peaceful, happy world be realized as education conditions the mind for that day. It is hoped that as the development of the airplane has destroyed distances in a physical world, so may man find a medium for destroying the distances between their viewpoints. Thus we may look forward to a new period which mans' social development will bring forth a more abundant ilfe. Charles A. Overmeyer Page 9 Seated: Superintendent Charles A.

THE OFFICE STAFF The office staff is composed of five girls, Barbara Fox, Barbara Whetsel, Evelyn Martin, Beverly Girardot, and Iris Leins. They contribute a portion of their schooltime towards completing records, keeping books, typing and various other details connected with office practice. The work of the office is quite general so that many of their duties trains them for business occupations after they leave school. These girls give unselfishly of their time and energies and their efforts are appreciated by the administration. As the school year draws to a close, we realize there will be only one who will return to carry on the duties of the office. Iris Leins, who is now a Junior, will have another year. The other four are all Seniors, and will be remembered for their great help throughout the years in which they gave their extra time.

The year was started off with a class meeting electing the officers in September. Our class sponsor was Mrs. Voss and a very efficient helper. . . Mr. Overmeyer, Mr. Bowers advised us on our annual. With their help we dodged many difficulties. On the other hand the Seniors enjoyed exciting times, such as basket ba , ganging up in assemblies, selecting commencement announcements, getting pictures taken, class parties, getting measured for caps and gowns which all goes in the process of being a Senior. Two of our class members, Eldon Howard and Russell Badman, have already left for the service, going into the air corps. As the time for our school days grow shorter, there are dreams of careers and plans for the future, a prospect of a vastly more meaningful ‘fe than we comprehended as a Freshman but there is one thing sure in the mind of all, that the school days of good old WHS were the best days of all.

From the first grade to the last. We have made the time go very fast. Bobby Duncan holds the reins, Guiding us through difficult lanes. Windy proudly sits at his right, While Fox keeps the books with all her might. As we roll along the many miles, Martin our money keeps stacked in piles. Now Leach is strong and manly too, He's picked himself a blonde to woo. Joyce is quiet and at ease. When she's trying hard to please. Miser is a smart little lass, Woolever is always at the head of the class. Whitey and Sat are basketball boys, When they score they fill us with joys. Marilyn is proud as she can be. Of her sailor who is out to sea. Bev Girardot can be counted on, To get work in the office done. If by chance a cute giggle you hear. You'll know Betty Husselman is very near. Phyllis' eyes of sparkling brown. Never let you think to frown. Velma Freed is a quiet girl, But Ward’s wild antics give you a whirl. Whetsel's eyes a e bright and blue, Lorraine’s love is always true. Clayton's shy and won't say a word. Stookeys the same, so we've heard. Fee’s brown hair and flashing smile. Makes you laugh all the while. If you like a rumbling voice. Let Stanley's name be your choice. And Deanie's habit to be late, Often finds his name on the sla!e. Goodwin has her favorite beau, Badman's hair must be just so. Ethel likes to skate as you can see, Soutar from all worry is free. Jack is proud of his old Ford Jones on a piano can play a snappy chord Marjorie's sweet and lots of fun, Always has her lessons done. Four long years we've toiled together. Facing all kinds of changing weather. Now graduation is drawing near And as we leave our memories here. We hope that all the rest of you Will follow us and graduate, too. —PHYLLIS FLUKE Page 25 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1932, we embarked upon our career of formal education, where we proudly marched ourselves to the first grade. Miss Callahan was the first to guide us. In the second grade Miss Newcomer gave a helping hand to boost us onward. It was during our third, fourth, and fifth grades we began to pick up a few mischievious pranks, here and there, which have remained with us. Our teachers during these formative years were Miss Hamman, Miss Bonfiglio, and Miss Dirrim respectively. Mr. Gurtner. our sixth grade teacher prepared us for the seventh year and the first year in the new building. During our seventh and eighth years we were quite excited about the thought of entering high school. In those two years we were directed by Mr. Bowers, Mr. Dorton, Miss Wilson, Miss Pakrs, and Miss Bachtel. Finally, the great day came when we could take our place in high school. With help of the Corunna pupils our total enrollment was forty-seven. We faced many new problems but we took them in our stride. Marjorie Nelson was elected President assisted by Jean Fee and Robert Duncan. Our Sophomore year, Mr. Bohr and Miss Parks, gave us their guiding hand. Again we selected Marjorie Nelson as President, Robert Duncan as Vice-president, and Betty Husselman as Secretary-treasurer. The Junior year was one of many activities. This year we purchased class rings, of which we were very proud. Later in the year we were led by Wendell Broom. He was helped by Barbara Whetsel as Vice- president. Barbara Fox as Secretary, and Lucy Rhoadarmer as Treasurer. At last comes the year for which we were looking forward to most of all. Perhaps the greater share of us are sorry it has come so soon. Our class officers were Robert Duncan, President; Wendell Broom, Vice-president; Evelyn Martin, Treasurer; Barbara Fox, Secretary. This year we worked industriously on the 1944 ROSEBUD. And now this group of mischievious but hardworking pupils are about to embark upon a new venture. Commencement, the time when the characters in caps and gowns face a new life. In this year of chaos, we leave behind us pleasant and ever present memories, we face the future with a determination to face what may come and come through victorious. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY OF '44 I’m going to tell you about the nightmare I had last night. It seemed to be taking place about three decades from now. The first thing I dreamt was about Ward Sebert. He was running a new kind of candy shop, but he seemed to be having trouble because the wheel he was making candy with insisted in going backwards and unmaking the candy as soon as he made it. Then I saw Helen Jones. She has finally found a way to have all the husbands she wants and still keep peace in the family. She has built a net work of caves and corridors which are confusing to everybody but herself. (You know one husband in each cave.) Then to my surprise I saw the three Mystical Mysteries from the Page 26 Three Merry Metropolises”—Marjorie Nelson, Dorothy Miser and Barbara Whetsel. They were going to try out a new skating rink where you skated on the ceiling instead ot the floor. Confidentially they found it didn't work so well. Phyllis Fluke appeared next. She was a nurse tending a very sick old man (Jack Wagner, who had gone round and 'round too much while ice-skating) and also trying to mix a serum at the same time. Who should enter next but Eugene Woolever. He was teaching a new subject he called nutierology.” And with him was a perfect student for such a subject, Imogene Stookey. (This subject was a mixture of farming and selling groceries.) It seems Evelyn Martin is now learning a new type of art, the art of luring men from their wives. She already has two fine specimen's. Jim Leach, whom she got from a wild lady in Borneo and Albert Sattison. She got the latter without much trouble because he was suffering from konkianitus.” Deanie Howard was still in service. He was picking up all the spare ribs he found lying around. Of all things. I dreamt Marilyn Stange and Betty Husselman were running a pet shop. They were starting a speciality, at this time, of white mice. Emogene Goodwin and Barbara Fox were running a snow hotel on the Sahara Desert. This just shows you how even the impossible can be done by some people. After all these 30 years Wendell Broom was back in tow” again. For many years he had been handicapped by having stiff lips. Thus he couldn't propose to Joyce Ayers, his greatest love. Talk about having nightmares, in this one Bob Duncan was married to a very nice lady with a brood of thirteen children. He finally chose someone to spend the rest of his life with. In fact, quite a few someone's. Lorraine Carper and Velma Freed were in a business by themselves. They were raising elephants. They said they were doing this because elephants were much easier to handle than their husbands were. Russell Badman and Clayton Crowl turned out to be great scientists. Anyway this was their opinion. One day one of their discoveries backfired. They thought they had a way of preventing quicksand from sucking people under, but found it didn't work. So if any of you get lonesome for one of these boys you'll at least know where they are. Harold Fike seemed to be going for dude ranches in a big way. He was all dressed up in a cowboy garb and with him was that notorious gambler, Stanley Friend. Beverly Girardot was busy most of the time. She was averaging about 2 quarrels a day with her mother-in-law. I always knew Jean Fee was small, but you can’t imagine my surprise when I found her inside a walnut shell. Suddenly everything became blank. After a pause a name floated across the space—the name of James Soutar. After 30 years he is still a wonder to everyone. Ethel Ackerman was still trying to become a good public speaker under the guidance of Vanderbuilt A. House. Ethel Ackerman Page 27 Page 28 Hast ffltll anil Gkatanmtt We, the class of forty-four, being of unbalanced mind and loss of memory, do make, publish, and declare this last will and testament. In doing this, we will our good looks, our most gracious manner and our loving ways, which we do not need in our future life, to our beloved under-classmates, whom we think need them.

In the second grade we were guided by Miss Newcomer and passed through the third grade with help from Miss Hamman. Then we went into the fourth grade under Miss Dirrim, and later the fifth grade under Mr. McIntosh. Mr. Gurtner was our teacher in the sixth grade. Wc were assisted thru the seventh and eighth grades with the aid of Mr. Bowers. We were rushed thru our Freshman year in 1941 with Mr. Smith and Miss Deer as our advisors. In the Sophomore year we had Miss Fuch-shuber and Mr. Bohr as our sponsors until Mr. Bohr was replaced by Mr. Heywood. Due to the call of Uncle Sam, Miss Fuchshuber was left to carry on alone until Mr. Leslie came. Now in our Junior year we are being successfully led by Mr. Leslie and numbering twenty-seven. We, the class of 1945, hope to go thru our last and final year, together. First Row: Junior Hilkey. Betty Greer. Dallas Myers. Dolores Shultz, James Stone-braker, Doris Ann Smith.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The Sophomore class of 46 has advanced considerably during the past months. We started the year with a new home room teacher, Miss Fender, who has done a splendid job. It took us a little time to get started but after electing class officers we progressed rapidly. We advanced from the Freshman class with a gain of one pupil, the enrollment last year being forty-nine and this year fifty. We have lost two calssmates this year, Louise Stookey who moved away and Donald Getting and added a new member, Thain Menges, from Butler. The class has had one party which was held at Mell Swartz's farm and was enjoyed by all. We have forged ahead in the past and plan to do so in the future.

Thirty pupils came back to Miss Cleo Dirrim. The next year the fifth grade of thirty pupils studied under Mr. Ned McIntosh. We struggled on under Mr. Gurtner in the sixth grade, and were promoted to the Junior High. We completed our junior high under the guidance of Mr. Clarence Bowers and graduated on May 18, 1943, and the Freshman class started out with the enrollment of fifty. We lost four and gained two, making the enrollment of forty-seven at present. First Row: Max Fee. Maxine Stonebraker. Harold Shultz, Welledene Crowl, Junior Geeting, Anna Lee Wing, James Hoxie.

Historian Patricia Bowers Robert Stanley Jane Bowers Mary Lou Bowman Ellen Louise Fales EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1936 a group of thirty pupils enrolled in the Waterloo Grade School in the first grade under Miss Ruth Bolton. Most of us passed on to the second grade, our teacher being Miss Barbara Brandon. In the third and fourth grades Miss Hamman and Miss Dirrim did their best to increase our knowledge. We then had Mr. McIntosh and Mr. Gurtner for our fifth and sixth grade teachers. Most of us passed safely through the grades into Junior High. Our seventh grade teacher was Mr. Shore. This year the eighth grade has twenty-four pupils, thirteen girls and eleven boys, with Mr. Blomeke as our room teacher. One of our main interests this year has been a War Bond and Stamp Contest against the seventh grade. We not only bought bonds and stamps for ourselves but also sold them to citizens of the town. Our grade was fortunate in winning the contest so the seventh grade sponsored an Ice Skating Party in our honor. Our eighth grade boys have made a good showing for themselves in basketball this year. The cheer leaders were Patsy Miser and Jane Bowers. 7 x-—' Page 38 THE SEVENTH GRADE First Row: John Carper, Samuel Krontz, Janice Shultz. Joan Stuller, Gerald Zerkle.

Page 45 JUNIOR BAND The Junior Band was organized last fall with a membership of about 15. We had a great deal of trouble finding enough instruments for the beginners to buy and rent. The woodwind instruments met on Tuesday of each week to take class lessons and the brass instruments met on Thursday each week for their class lessons. The percussion section met with both classes. A few gave up after several lessons but we still have about 12 in our class. Some of the beginners have progressed and practiced so diligently that they were put into the Senior Band and took part in the annual contest at Fort Wayne. The rest of the class will be ready for the Senior Band next fall and show promises of good material. Back Row: Jane Miser, Donald Korff.

ANNUAL STAFF At the beginning of the year the class did not think it possible to put out the Rosebud due to the shortage of paper, films, other materials and high prices; however in November we saw our way clear, held an election of the Annual Staff and began working on the 1944 Rosebud. Many hours of hard work has been put on this book. The theme Aviation” was chosen for the YEAR BOOK. It stands for action and for progress. The Seniors had their pictures taken early in the year, but it was not until the first of February that the other pictures were taken. Due to an epidemic of measles some pupils were not present and we are sorry that their pictures will not appear in the Rosebud. The enrollment of two grades that day was so small that snapshots were taken of them later. There was also a delay in getting engraving work done, and the covers made. In order to secure extra money to put out this book we put on three paper drives. Thus we helped our country and also helped ourselves. We thank every one who helped us in the paper drives, advertising and other ways to publish the Rosebud. Page 48 Standing: Jean Fee, Barbara Fox, Barbara Whetsel. Betty Greer, Joyce Ayers.

VICTORY PRESS STAFF By extra efforts the Victory Press Staff continued to publish The Victory Press bi-monthly the first semester and monthly the last semester. Because of the scarcity of paper and material they reduced the size of the paper. The Staff's wish has been that the readers of the Victory Press have received the news in the spirit intended and enjoyed the reading of it as they enjoyed publishing it.

Overmeyer The fundamental purpose of this organization is to create, maintain, extend throughout the school and community a higher standard of Christian character by upholding the four C’s: clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. It’s the nil desperandum (or figuratively — never say die ) attitude that makes this organization what it is. This being our first year in founding the organization, most of our time v as spent in forming a constitution, under which we believe the club could better be able to serve the needs of its members, chartering the club, selection of program, procedure for meetings, and to lay a foundation to better prepare future Hi-Y members. To those who leave us now—may success be yours, and to those who follow—may you have the power to carry on. Page 52 F. A. A. Top Row: Jock Miser. Don Smith, Jock Dunn. Harold Johnson, Clayton Crowl.

The team got all to a slow start but speeded up the tempo along towards the last. Their one truimphal feat was winning over the sectional winners, Garrett, by a 3 point lead, 40-37. Out of 16 games played by the Wildcats they won 9 of them. The Wildcats entered the sectional with a very good chance of winning, to be defeated by Pleasant Lake, after winning their first tilt with Scott Center, 44-17. The Cats fought a hard fight but the Spartans pushed at the half, making a smashing finish. Page 60 YELL LEADERS Let's give a cheer for Jean, Bob, and Evelyn, they have worked hard these past few years promoting enthusiasm for the boys. They proceeded to bring forth the school spirit in a glorious array of flying colors. When they leave us this year, Barbara, Beverly, and Roma, this year's seconds, will follow their footsteps.

The net men made triumphal victories over Butler, Avilla, and Kendallville. The team was made up of Freshmen and Sophomore boys with two Juniors. Some of these boys will make the coveted first team honors next year. It was not a team built around any certain individuals, rather it was a team working in union for the benefit of the school rather than individual glory. They scored 382 points to their opponents 299 points. Lett to right: Manager Walter Schuster. LeRoy Williams. Harold Schultz. Robert Knott. George Strode. Max Fee. Myron Johnson. Tom Farrington.

During the fall baseball season of 1943 we played 6 games. Pre-ceeding the conference tourney we played three games. One with Hamilton with a score of I 3 to their II. In our games with Butler we each won on the home diamond 4 to 2. The contenders for the conference baseball championship were Angola, Butler, Fremont, and Waterloo. Drawings were made with Butler and Fremont paired and Angola vs. Waterloo. The two DeKalb country teams were both victorious over the Steuben opponents. On October 6. 1943 Butler came to Waterloo to play the championship game. At the end of the 7th inning the game was called at 3 all. On Friday October 8. the Butler nine again came to our diamond. This time there was no tie. We emerged victorious with a score of 4 to 3. the corner conference baseball champions and the owners of a new trophy cup.

Eighteen boys reported for practice and practically the entire group was carried on the team for the season. The first game was with Angola. Our boys won 29 to 25 in one of the best Junior High games ever played. Due to transportation difficulties many schools did not hove Junior High teams. Most of the boys who played in the games were eighth graders. They will be missed in 1944-45. but Zerkle, Williams. Girardot. Fee and Carper from the seventh grade will probably move into their places and give a good account of themselves.

To tend the fires, sweep the halls. Cleaning the walks they love best of all. Its rumored they keep the building spic and span But if ever you need a willing hand Just look and look with all your might They've a trick of hiding out of sight. The bus drivers surely do their share In hauling the children with such care Kelley they say drives with great speed Kohl has his troubles, though careful is he. Williams keeps order with radio and song Broom straightens things out when they go wrong For Harvey we just say well done Without the driving crew school could not run. Left to Right: Harvey Frick. Merritt Williams. Clark Kelley. Simon Kohl. Isaac Broom. VALEDICTORIAN Fellow classmates, parents, teachers, and friends: We are here tonight to commemorate those twelve years of school which we have had. Now we must face life as never before. The problem Where does the youth of today belong in this world and what are his opportunities? confronts us in a big Woolev€ way today since the world is in such a turmoil. The expression, The youth of today is the world of tomorrow holds truer today than anytime before. It will take hard work to make this world like it was before the war, yet more modern and artistic, but we can do it. The ones not going into the armed services will probably learn a trade elsewhere, such as in factories or on farms. What about after the war, is another question. Many civilian goods will be needed and much labor will be demanded to make this possible. New industries will be likely to spring up and with them more opportunities for youths. Since young people can use their ingenuity better than older folks there will be great demands for them. The future isn't so dark as it seems, so we can look forward to a life that will be successful if we put in our life what we expect to get out of it. SALUTATORI AN Ladies and Gentlemen: I feel that the greatest service I could perform on such an occasion as this is to point out or direct the thoughts and energies of those who have High School to complete. I speak not as an authority, but as one who has freshly completed the prescribed course, and I naturally see the possibilities which are present. The future for all of us remains a mystery, but most of us can help toward determining our future by preparing for it. I have prepared myself the best I can, so far, for the future, I do not know what the future holds in store for me because of the chaotic conditions which the world is in today. Your duty is to prepare yourself so you can help to change existing conditions. Your schooling will be of an unestimable value to you later on in life. How many get very high on the ladder of success who do not prepare themselves? Yes, I know, and you know too, there are a few, but a very few, compared to those v ho have prepared themselves. So I say to you young people of America. if you want to get anywhere in life please prepare yourselves for your own good. Harold Fike Page 74 OUR ALUMNI CLASS OF 1879 Dr. M.

And the good times we've shared together, And the borrowed money that was never paid. That all goes with being friends together. We refer to one another as Deanie or Jim, And not the mister and missus stuff. But thats another of our little whims. For we're just being friends together. Now we re leaving these good things behind, We re forgetting the misunderstandings we've had. For nothing is sweeter and finer, Than being good friends together. Eugent Bowman—' Ever been picked for speeding? Junior Hilkey— No, but i've been slapped for going too fast. POSTSCRIPT When you come to the end of this perfect (?) book, And you've read all that's inside it, Don't say we could have done it better; We know that—because we tried it. The Engravings for This 1944 ROSEBUD were made by THE FORT WAYNE ENGRAVING CO. Page 95
