We will remem- ber the many sacrifices you have endured to make possible our school days. Uur Theme We, the members of the class of 1947, chose “Memories” as our theme when we planned this book. To us, this seemed to suggest all the things we had done in our school days. It brought to our memories the things we cherished, the things that have been impressed on our minds, and we shall not soon forget. Some of our memories are rather vague. That is the reason we chose as the background for our pictures the little man dreaming of the things that had gone on before. He will always remind us of the things we have done, good or Lad, and some we would rather not mention. We remember the first day at school. We remember flashes of things we did our first sight years, the parties, the games, the plays, special assemblies, and programs. We didn't always like our school-work, but now we wish we would have studied harder and concentrated more. That memorable night in May of 1943 stands out vividly! We made it! We graduated from the eighth grade. We were ready for high school. Next we remember our first day as a freshman, how we practically shook in our shoes as we stood in awe of the rest of the high school students. The happiest day of our life was the day in May of 1947 when we received that long awaited award, our diploma. We tried to act unconcerned, to make everyone think we were accustomed to such things. Down underneath, however, we were nervous and apprehensive. As we turn the pages of this book, the pictures, the snaps, class histories, remarks, write ups, and jokes recall many happy incidents, pleasant associations, and good times to our memory. All these things were taken into consideration as we choose our theme. We, the editors, hope that you will enjoy this book as much as we have enjoyed putting it together and hope you understand our motives for using ‘‘Memories’’ as our theme.

Bowers PAGE 23 Class History Twelve years ago we Seniors of '47'’ walked through the doors of various school buildings for the first time and optimistically demanded an education. Of the thirty-one who started at Waterloo—only fifteen have finished at Waterloo School— Beverly Duesler, Florence Crooks, Anita Rainier, Dale Kohl, M ax Fee, Donna Jean McBride, Willidene Crowl, Patricia Dull, Mary Jo Turner, Martha Gratz, Doris Weicht, James Hoxie, Haroid Shultz, Robert Knott, and Gail Smith. The rest of the Seniors of ‘47’ joined the school in the grades or in High School. We started our High School with an enrollment of fifty eager Freshmen, brimming with self- assurance that only Freshmen possess. We had that taken out by initiation though. However, we recovered in time to enjoy two class parties and a skating party. We were greatly assisted by our sponsor, Mr. Bowers. We gained Betty Likens from St. Joe the latter part of the Freshman year. We entered our Sophomore year with the enrollment of forty-eight. Our sponsor, Miss Yoder. y One big event was getting our class sweaters that year instead of in our Senior year as was the y usual custom. We also became active in sports and other activities. Some of the boys joined ly the Hi-Y and a few girls joined the Girl Reserves, but we weren't extremely active in sports or y other extra activities. j In the Junior year we had eight boys playing basketball and five boys playing baseball. Again we were under Miss Yoder, who directed us in the play, “The Daffy Dills.”” Our Junior- Senior reception was the best yet, at least we thought so. As Juniors we got our class rings, and as usual some of them didn't keep them long on account of girls. As Seniors we started out with an enrollment of thirty-eight but we lost Betty Frick and Eugene Gael. George Strock, Charles Wilson and Aubrey Treesh were discharged from service and came back to finish school. However, they took a Government test and passed it so they didn't continue to attend classes in school. They graduate in May along with the rest of the class. For funds this year we sponsored two successful wastepaper drives and a class play en- titled, “The Meddlesome Maid.” The Speech Class gave three one-act plays called, ‘‘Midnight Ghost,” ‘The Ghost Wore White,” and ‘The Little Red School House.”’ Five boys got basketball sweaters given to them by the school. Our sponsor this year was Mr. Bowers, who also gave us a big help with the Yearbook. We will always be grateful to our parents for providing us with the opportunity to receive a high school education and to our teachers for the patience and consideration that they have shown throughout the years we were with them. Our faith in our homes and our school is the basis of the confidence with which we face the future. —JAmMES Hoxie PAGE 24 WE REMEMBER OUR SCHOOL-DAY FRIENDS PAGE 25 y ; i f 4 f .

Junior History We, the class of '’48,’’ started on our long, hard, journey for knowledge in 1936 with 30 pupils under Miss Bolton. Most of us possed on to the second grade, our teacher being Miss Brandon. Miss Hamman and Miss Dirrim did their best to increase our knowledge in the third and fourth grades. In the fifth and sixth grades Mr. McIntosh and Mr. Gurtner gave us a helping hand. From there we passed into Junior High. Our home room teachers in Junior High were Mr. Shore and Mr. Blomeke. Through our Freshman and Sophomore years Mr. Bowers was our advisor. As Juniors we have 38 pupils. To enlarge our treasury, we have sponsored two dances, a skating party, a successful play, and sold pop and refreshments at the basketball games. We also gave the annual reception for the Seniors. Miss Noffsinger has been our advisor this year.

Sophomore History In 1937 thirty-four pupils entered the Waterloo Public School under the supervision of Miss Maxine Bickel. In the second grade there were 26 of us. Miss Wisner led us through the year. During our third and fourth years twenty-two pupils made it safely with Miss Hammon and Miss Dirrim guiding us. We had 27 in the fifth, with Mr. McIntosh, who passed 26 of us on to the sixth, where Mr. Gurtner took over and sent us into the Junior High. In the seventh C. S. Overmeyer had 24 pupils. Again in the eighth we had Mr. McIntosh, who graduated .26 into High School. At the beginning of our freshman year our enrollment was 45. We had Mr. Leslie as our home room teacher. This year our class has decreased to 33 and we have been under the supervision of Miss Yoder, who has done a great deal for our class. .We have discovered that there is more to school than just studying and making grades. We have sold greeting cards and stationery as our money making project. We have also sponsored two skating parties this year, which have poth turned out well. We ordered our class sweaters at the beginning of the school term and finally after waiting impatiently about a dozen came, on a warm afternoon. The rest came later a few at a time. So far we have had two class parties, a barn and a Christmas party. The main event at the latter, was the burnt cocoa. We tried to improve the cocoa by topping it with marshmal- low, which added to the life of the party. Before the year is over we hope to have more parties. Even though this year was filled with hard work, it is a year to always be remembered.

Class History In 1938 thirty-one pupils enrolled under the guidance of Miss Maxine Bickel. Most of us passed through the second and third grades with the help of Miss Wisner and Miss Hamman. Mi ss Cleo Dirrim and Mr. O. H. Messmore helped us through the fourth and fifth grades. Mr. Gurtner guided us into the seventh grade where we had Mr. Shore as our home room teacher. Last year with Mr. McIntosh as our home room teacher we had twenty-nine pupils. Forty-five freshmen enrolled last September; we lost five of them. Mr. Leslie is our home room sponsor this year and we had several nice parties under his supervision. A hay ride was very enjoyable with Miss Noffsinger as our chaperon. At Christmas time we exchanged names and had a party. We also had a Valentine party in the gym.

PAGE 37 WE REMEMBER THE GAMES LUST AND WON PAGE. 38 | a ee ee UPPERSEE: Coach Long His second year here has been a fair season. His team won when odds seemed to be against them and lost when they should have won. His aim was always to have on the floor five boys who were co-operative. Some of the boys lacked experience but the biggest handicap of all was their height. His team played Spencerville, the sec- tional champions, two good games, only losing by a small margin in both. Prospects are more hopeful for the coming season. UPPER RIGHT: Mr. Gurtner, our '’B” team coach, has done a splendid job in developing players for varsity competition next year. He has had about 25 boys under his coaching. He has followed the teams regularly during the season and has given much valuable assist ance to the athletic depart- ment. CENTER: Thain Menges has been our faithful student manager. He has done a fine job in taking care of the athletic equip- ment. He always was willing, ready and on the job. It will be hard to find a student to take his place next year. TOP ROW: First team yell leaders.— Darrell Johnson, Mary Glant, Mary Lou Bowman, Beverly Duesler. Since Beverly Dues- ler is a Senior, she will not be with the group next year. BOTTOM ROW: Second team leaders.— Charlotte Shull, Walter Deetz, Joan McMaster.

SECOND ROW: Thain Menges (Student Manager), Raymond Fee, Jimmy Crooks, Arnold Musser, Lee Grate, Walter Deeitz, Max Fee, Robert Girardot, Leon Bowers, Coach Don Long. At the start of school came the familiar call ‘’Play Ball.” Coach Don Long had a winning ball club ready when the umoire called out “Play ball!’ and Waterloo went on to win 6 of 8 games. Cur first game was played on the home diamond with Butler. In the first inning Waterloo got 2 runs on 3 hits by Cobbs, Stanley and Musser. In the 2nd inning Butler did nothing while Waterloo got a run on Fee’s walk and a sizzling double by Cobbs. The 8rd was another lone one for Butler but Waterloo put together 3 walks and a single by Robinson for 3 more runs. Then Butler got hitting power and both Johnson and Knox scored on t heir doubles down the left field line. The Sth inning was a big one for Butler as they put together a triple, and 3 singles for 4 big runs to tie the score at 6-6, but Waterloo scored 2 more runs on a triple by Stanley, walks to Musser and Kutzner, and a single by Robinson. The last of the 6th, Waterloo made 2 more runs on 2 hits, an error, and a fielder’s choice. Butler then ended the game by going down swinging all 3 times. Dizzy Knott receiving credit for the victory. Our next game was at Ashley. It turned out to be another win for the Wildcats. There was plenty of scoring and errors for both sides to make the game an exciting one. Cobbs led off with a sharp single, stole 2nd, and then scored on an error in the outfield. The Ashley boys knocked Dizzy Knott from the mound in a hurry when hley got 2 runs on 2 hits, a walk, and an error. The Sthoices. He was then replaced by Bill Hubartt. Waterloo decided to make a ball game out of it by coming right back with 6 runs and knocked out the Ace pitcher. The 3rd and 4th innings were blank for the Wildcats but Ashley got 2 runs on 2 hits, a walk and an error. The Sth inning for the Wildcats was good for 3 runs on hits by Stanley, Robinson and Cobbs. In the latter part of the 6th inning Rhoadarmer hit for the circuit for a lone tally. As the last inning came to a close it found both teams scoring one run each making the final score 12-9 Waterloo with Hubartt getting credit for winning the game. The Wildcats were going after their 3rd victory of the season when they played at Butler. The game was a thriller from start to finish as this was one in which Waterloo rallied to win. For Waterloo it was 3 up and 8 down in the first inning. When Butler came to bat, they put on a 3 run rally. Waterloo got one run in the second inning. Butler got one score in each the 2nd and the Sth innings making the score 5-1 but not for long as when the Wildcats came to bat they got the first man on by a walk and then 4 successive singles for 3 runs and ihen the score was 5-4, Butler's favor when the inning ended. As the 7th inning got under way, Stanley hit a long triple to center field and later scored on an error. In the first of the 8th, Rhoadarmer singled and went to 2nd on an error. Rhoadarmer scored the winning run. Then Johnson threw wild trying to get Hubartt for the last out. The last of the 8th was exciting as Griffin walked and stole 2nd and 3rd. While the next 3 hitters were easy outs. Dizzy Knott pitched a masterpiece that day. Ashley were the opponents again and this time it was a win for the Wildcats. It was another exciting game as the score was-7-6 the game being won, in the 7th on a home run by Rhoadarmer with Farrington aboard. ws a bat po | PAGE 4] Ashley didn't do any scoring in the first inning but Waterloo got off on the right foot by scoring 2 runs in the first inning and 1 by a home run by Baird in the 2nd inning and another run in the 3rd. The 4th inning, Ashley knocked Dizzy Knott out of the box by coming through with 4 runs and scoring 1 run in the Sth on a home run by Funk. Waterloo got 1 run in the 4th inning and then was held scoreless until the 7th when Rhoadarmer hit a home run with Farrington aboard to win the game. Ashley beforehand had scored a run to lead 6-5. Stanley, who relieved Knott was a big help in win- ning the game. Albion was next on the schedule and the game was played there. It turned out to be a real pitchers’ battle between Dizzy Knott and Shisler, the Albion pitcher. Waterloo, after 5 hectic innings, managed to score 2 runs and to go on and win by the score of 2-0. It being a one hit game by Knott as Waterloo collected 5 hits in all. Both teams sent 4 men to bat in the lst inning and neither team scored. The next 3 innings Waterloo could do nothing, while Albion had 4 men in each inning but cou ldn't cash in on runs and at this time it was turning out to be a pitchers’ battle. Start- ing the Sth, Kutzner led off with a terrific wallop to center field which went for a home run, but was out when he didn’t touch 2nd base. The bottom half was 3 up and 3 down for Albion as Lemmon was caught off 2nd on the hidden ball trick. The horsehide began to fly in the 6th when Waterloo came to bat. Baird flyed out to left: field. Knott grounded out, then Cobbs made it to first on an error. Hubartt then at-bat made first on an error, moving Cobbs to 8rd. Then Stanley and Farrington got singles to score the only 2 runs of the game. The last of the 6th King, Albion's catcher, got a single, their only hit of the game but died on 3rd base. The 7th for both teams was 3 up and 3 down with Dizz pitching one of his best games of the season. The next conference game at Waterloo with Butler. Waterloo supplied plenty of hitting power to score 12 to Butler's 5. Waterloo got off to a 2 run lead in the first inning on a walk, a single by Hubartt, and a single by Robinson. Butler in the second inning evened the score 2-2. Waterloo came right back with 4 runs on another walk to Cobbs, singles by Robinson, Baird, and a double by Knott. The 3rd inning Butler scored 3 runs, one being a home run by Johnson. The 4th for Waterloo was good for 2 runs. In the Sth inning the Wildcats batted around to get 4 runs before being put out. In the 6th and 7th inning Dizzy Knott allowed 2 hits but no damage was done. The game ended 12-5 in Waterloo’s favor. Our next game was the play-off at Fremont. Waterloo came up against some stiffer pitching this time and lost by a score of 6-2. The lst 5 innings Waterloo was held off from the base paths. Fremont got off on a fly- ing start in getting 3 runs in the lst inning. The second inning Fremont got 1 run on a triple and a single. The 4th inning Fremont scored 2 runs on 2 singles and an error. Waterloo had a rally in the 6th but could get only 2 runs. Both teams went down in 1, 2, 3, order in the 6th. The only hit for Waterloo came in the 6th when Baird singled down the left field line. Angola was our next foe. It was an exciting game all the way with the game being played on the visit- ing diamond and Angola winning by a mere score of 5-4. Waterloo was blanked the first 2 innings as Angola scored 2 runs in the 2nd on 2 singles, a walk, and an error. In the 8rd inning for Angola was blank and the Wildcat's led 3-2. Both teams were held from the base paths in the next 2 innings but in the 6th Angola tied it up, then in the 7th Farrington smacked a home run to put Waterloo in front 4-3. In the last of the 7th An- gola came through with 2 runs to win the game 5-4, Stanley being the losing pitcher. Cobbs led with a bat- ting average of .385 which is good in any high school baseball. PAGE 42 Fight, Basal, Fight! That cheer is for Buddy Baird, a Junior, With less experience but his playing was fine; Will guard and make good defense next year, And will be a top player on the wildcat line. Pass, Bobo, Pass! That cheer is for Thomas Farrington, a Senior, A forward sub this year but very good; He watched the foul lanes and set up plays, And always carried the ball as he should. Jump, Jack, Jump! That cheer is for Jack Dunn, a Senior, An excellent center we watched in each game; Had ability in close plays and getting rebounds, Turned scores at the last minute to fame. Stop ‘em, Jim, Stop ‘em! That cheer is for James Hoxier, a Senior, He watched for rebounds, his eye on the score; A center always anxious to get in the fight, His strength and stride made the fans roar. Play, Frog, Play! That cheer is for David Rhoadarmer, a Senior, A guard always seen speeding over the floor; He handled the ball with skill and so swiftly, Helping the team to build up the score. Victory, Don, Victory! The cheer is for Don Long, the coach, Who worked very hard to see the team rise; Shared our triumphs, watched our defeats, His fine training and good help we prize. Hasehall The baseball season hardly stopped when basketball practice began. A large group of boys came out for prac- tice. There was an average of thirty boys ready to play whoever should challenge them. November 8 was our first game on the home court with St. Joe. The game was closely played and the score changed hands at different times, but the Tigers showed just a little too much of their ability to hit when it was needed. The first half ended in a tie 17-17 and then the Wildcats came io life and put on a rally which had them out in front by 5 points with 5 minutes to go. St. Joe put on a driving rally and ended the game in their tavor 42-36. suizner got high honors for the night with 15 points while Surtus was high for the winners with 10 points. With revenge in their minds, the Wildcats went to Angola on November 15 and downed a good team with the score ot 33-32. The game was as close as the ending score indicates with neither team having more than a 3 point advantage the last half. Being behind by one point with 14 seconds to play, the Wildcats kept in there fighting for the ball and got possession ot it to score the game-winning basket and then intercepted Angola's pass-in to keep the ball for the closing seconds of the game. Stanley was high with 14 points while Clark and Sutton, of Angola, boin had 8 points each. Avilla was next on the schedule and the Panthers won in a low scoring game 26-22. This was a good game ail the way. Plenty of fouls were called on both teams, with Fee leaving for this reason. At the half Avilla had a 2 point lead and came out to pull away from the Wildcats in the last half as the Wildcats missed too many shots. On November 26, the Wildcats went to Pleasant Lake. The Wildcats wasted no time in blowing shots through the hoop as they were leading 30-13 at the half. They made sure that they were ail informed and went out in the second halt to pour through 32 more points to win the game easily and Kutzner iook scoring honors with 15 points and Stanley getting 12. Kankamp had 12 for the loser. Butler came here on December 6 and the Wildcats lost an exciting game by the score of 40-31. Butler wasted no time in scoring as they hit seven of their first nine shots in the first three minutes of the game. Then the Wildcats started to click and when they went to their respective dressing rooms at the half Butler led by a score ot 22-13. The third quarter was a rally for the Wildcats as they pulled within 2 points of the Windmills to make the score stand 24-22 as the third quarter ended. Then the game was played on even terms until with about 4 minutes to go when the Windmills got hot and pulled away to a com- tortable lead. Kutzner had 15 points for the Wildcats and Johnson tallied 17 for the winners. Hamilton came to town on Friday the 13. It proved a fatal one for the Wildcats as the Marines took measure of the Wildcats by a score of 44-21. It was mostly a one-man show as Pendland, of the winners, tallied 24 points. The first quarter was close with Hamilton ahead 3 points at the end. The second quarter found Mr. Pendland and his crew blasting the nets to lead at the half by a 10 point margin. As the third quarter got under way Hamilton struck with plenty of offensive power as well as defensive power. As they poured 22 more points through the nets while Waterloo put only 9 points in, Friday the 13 proved a disastrous one for the Wildcats. On December 18 Albion played us on our home court and won an exciting game by the score of 34-32. Both teams were fighting hard to win this one and it was nip and tuck all the way. The first half of the ball game found neithe r team doing much scoring as they were tied at 13-13 when it ended. Both teams played a slow game the first half and it was more or less a passing game to get open shots to score. Albion was expecting to wear the Wildcats out by substituting 5 different men each quarter but they were not able to do much by this method. Alwine, of Albion, took scoring honors with 10 points as Fee got eight for the Wildcats. On December 27 the Wildcats lost an exciting game to the Ashley Aces by a score of 47-42, with the lead chang- ing hands throughout the game different time. Both teams had commanding leads but lost it on poor defense. The Wildcats were in the lead 38 to 31 but some accurate shots by Ashley put the ball game on ice for them. Spencerville came to town on January 3 and raided the place and when they went home they had won both games. The Raiders won by a close score of 34-31 and despite the undefeated record they have so far this year they knew they had been in_a ball game before they went home. The Raiders got off to an early lead and were out in front by a 22-19 lead when the half ended. Both teams played on even terms the rest of the game but they had just a little too much to overcome. Akey and Sheetel had 8 points for the winners as Stanley and Kutzner were high for the Wildcats with 11 apiece. In the county tourney the Wildcats had to play the Raiders from Spencerville and they were determined to win this game as the Raiders had beaten them just a week before, but as it turned out, the Raiders won by a score PAGE 44 of 27-25. It was a hard fought game all the way and with 2 minutes to go the Wildcats had pulled up a point ahead but just couldn't hit for the win. Kutzner was high for the Wildcats with 11 points and Sheetel was high for the Raiders with 8 points. The Wildcats went to Ashley to gain revenge on the beating they took from them on the home court and won this game in an overtime by the score of 33-31. The Wild- cats were out in front at the half 14-8, but in the last half Ashley played better ball to put he game into an over- time. Stanley hit 2 foul shots at the lane and then got possession of the ball and stalled out the remainder of the game of 2 minutes. Stanley made 14 points for the Wildcats as Jacobs got 8 points for the Aces. Angola came to Waterloo for a return game and were out to kill the Wildcats but things went in reverse for the Hornets as the Wildcats won 41-32. The Wildcats led all the way and at one time had a lead of 16 points. Before the game was over the Hornets came within 4 points of tieing it up, but the Wildcats put on another drive and came out on top. Kutzner scored 12 points while Hull of the Hornets came through with 10. Stanley had 10 for runner up. Shoot, Bob, Shoot! That cheer is for Robert Stanley, a Junior, Working good plays so the team felt his might; As a forward his best was pivot shot, He was a steady player to the fans’ delight. Hit, Maxie, Hit! That cheer is for Max Fee, a Senior, A quick strong forward, all over the place; lis shots were always finding the basket, Adding scores regardless of time or space. Score, Dick, Score! That cheer is for Richard Kutzner, a Junior, A good guard and square fighter every game; He made many scoring points all along, Brought honors to the team’s name. Wine Rea inl That cheer is for Raymond Eloph, a Junior, A serious guard, difficult to defeat; He wasn't called upon so often this year, But next year he will be hard to beat. Beat ‘em, Norm, Beat ‘em! That cheer is for Norman Carr, a Junior, He’s a sub forward who played clever and fast; Next year’s team will benefit by his skill, Norm can be counted on to play to the last. Work, Bruce, Work! That cheer is for Bruce Gurtner, second coach, He trains the Kittens, they admire his skill; His interest is in all the school’s sports, For Waterloo’s honor; he works with a will.

At that time the band numbered about thirty-five members. Throughout the year the Band has played for different events in the com- munity and for the basketball games. Our twirlers were featured at these games. The Band has had several additions from the Junior Band and at the present time we have twelve clarinets, five drummers, four French horns, two flutes, three saxaphones, two baritones, four trombones, and three basses, ten cornets, an oboe, and bells. Altogether, twirlers included, there are about sixty members. Several solos, quartets, trios, and ensembles went to the Solo and Ensemble Contest on March 29. The Band earned approximately $300 by selling magazines this year. It also earned money playing for the Auburn Street Fair and political rallies. The Band has been very successful under the direction of Mr. Harold Long. PAGE The Male Quartette is a new organization this year under the di- rection of Mrs. Voss. They have not been making public appear- ances to any extent but they are doing some nice harmonizing now. Tom Farrington is the only Senior who will be leaving this year, so they will be ready for public work and the contest next year after they find another bass singer.

The chorus meets regularly three times a week under the direction of Mrs.. Voss. They have all types .of songs prepared so when called upon to sing at any program, they have a good variety to choose from to suit the occasion. The chorus placed in First Division at the District Contest last spring and then went to the State Contest two weeks later and carried home First Division Honors also. Vacancies in the fall created by the graduation of Seniors the year before are filled by a tryout process conducted by Mrs. Voss. An invitation is given to all High School students with a singing voice to try out each year they are in school. Because there are different vacancies to be filled each year and because a student's voice becomes more mature each year, are two important reasons for a student to keep trying for a place in the chorus each year. Besides vocalizing and learning songs in the chorus class, the chorus practices vocal exercises. They also hear and see films devoted to musi c appreciation. The High Achool Baccalaureate Service concludes the public appearances for the Chorus. THE GIRLS’ TRIO The Girls’ Trio has a regular period for practice this year, once a week, under the direction of Mrs. Voss. They are invited to sing at programs from time to time and have a varied type of songs in their repertoire. They sang two numbers, ‘Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen” and “I Got Shoes,’ Negro sporituals, at the Anniversary Luncheon of the Minerva Club at the Fee Cafe in January. The club presented them each with a beautiful corsage of white carnations. They are entering the Ensemble Contest at Fort Wayne for the first time this year. We hope they will take a First Division rating. The High School Commencement concludes their appear- ances for the year. Mary Jo Turner will graduate this year, leaving a vacancy to be filled. She will be greatly missed in the future. PAGE 99 Debate Team Left to right: Max Fee, Willidene Crowl, Harold Shultz, Robert Stanley, Patricia Bowers, Kenneth Green. : The debate team this year was composed of three seniors and three juniors. The regulars on the affirmative team were Willidene Crowl and Harold Shultz with Max Fee as the alternate. The regulars on the negative were Patricia Bowers and Bob Stanley with Kenneth Green as the alternate. The question discussed this year was: ‘Resolved, That the Fed- eral Government Should Provide a System of Complete Medical Care Available to All Citizens at Public” Expense.% The regulars on both teams received medals set with rubies while the alternates got medals without sets. The winners at Goshen received letters for their efforts. The members who actively participated agreed that the experience which they gained has been very valuable to them. They have all appreciated the help and guidance which Miss Yoder has given them. The Journal Gazette sponsored an “Around the City Desk’ ’ program on Current Events. Garcile Hilkey, Dale Kohl, Harry Dancer, Patty Witt, Jack Dunn, Gloria Leach, James Hoxie, 1 and Paul Kuckuck represented Waterloo on October 19. Hillard Gates was the moderator and Mr. James Leuke represented the Journal Gazette. They discussed the O. P. A. problem and the China question. The members of the speech class were luncheon guests of the Journal Gazette. It seemed wonderful to eat all you wanted and not have to pay for it. The class enjoyed the tour of the Gazette building and a visit through the WOWO broad- casting rooms. On January 23, Waterloo was the host for the Junior Town Meeting. Students of Ossian : High School were our guests. Jack Dunn and Tom Farrington helped Joan Springer and Erma i Coverdale discuss the question, ‘Should we expand our foreign trade?” A) PAGE 56 GAZETTE OFFICE =| KC z oc =) 2) ze) am ES al KG un un —G =| oO ae O re re) Ay 70) DISCUSSION GROUP AT WOWO Y-Teens Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere at all times.

The name Y-Teens has been given to our world-wide organization better known to all as Girl Reserves. It ‘aims’ to compare more with our higher organization, the Y. W. C. A. Under our new name we chose five Club Mothers to help our Sponsor. Fach of these mothers headed various departments’ of the Y-Teens. During the Basketball games the Y-Teens sold Hot Dogs which has been part of our plan for a long time. = At Christmas we gathered materials for boxes and sent them to a needy family in Ken- tucky and in exchange we received holly, mistletoe, and greens for decorations. We entertained the High School and Grades with a special assembly on January 27, with Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Hostetler, missionaries, talking on India. We had a Tea for them later that | afternoon. On March 7, Dr. Earl Frisbie, of Butler, gave us a very interesting talk and movie i on his travels in Mexico. The public was invited: Our Easter Service was held at the United Brethren Church this year. Under our new name we have shared Christian meetings and happy social hours together.

The Waterloo Hi-Y Club sponsored several worthwhile projects this year; one was the dis- tribution of score cards at all our home games. The other was the beginning of a student council. At the time of this writing it has just been started and is just being talked about, but it has been approved by all the Hi-Y members as a worthwhile project. The students seem interested in it, too. We hope that the student council will be a success in Waterloo High School, for the Hi-Y Club in every way feels that it could help in the betterment of our school. The Hi-Y Club also went to two district mestings this year. The first one was at Auburn where the Auburn Hi-Y Club and the girl Tri-Y Club were the hosts. Many of the Waterloo Hi-Y boys went and a good time was had by everyone. Jim Hoxie led an interesting discussion on ‘‘Worth-while Projects for the Hi-Y Club.” This spring we had another district meeting. Mr. Lancaster, Secretary of the Hi-Y at Indianapolis, gave some helpful hints to the Hi-Y Club mem- bers and leaders. Also Rev. Pontius gave an interesting address. The Hi-Y club feels that it had a very successful year.

This year the Future Farmers of America had an enrollment of 29 members in their club. The club again sponsored the annual pest contest, the West Side vs. the East Side. The West Side won. In the early part of November we sponsored a turkey raffle to raise money. With some of this money we purchased new chapter equipment. Also in November we sponsored a roller skating party and we extended invitations for the neighboring Chapters of Auburn, Gar- rett, Spencerville, St. Joe, Butler, Ash- ley, and Hamilton. They responded well making it a successful party. The No. 2 district meeting of the F.F.A. was held at Waterloo in November. It was well attended by the neighboring chapters. Business was carried on by sectional meetings. It proved to be a profitable meeting. The local chapter served the refreshments. On March 14 the officers went to Hamilton for the district banquet and enjoyed a fine time and dinner.

JUNIOR BAND The Junior Band was started in October with thirty-seven members. Most of the Junior Band were children who had not played an instrument before but now they are able to play music of easy grade for band. A great part of the Junior Band is now rehearsing with the Senior Band and several will go to the contest this year with the Senior Band. Delbert Zerkle, Myrna Lee Ayers and Nannette Noirot are representing the band at the State Solo and Ensemble Contest March 29. There are prospects of another Junior Band being started also this spring so that the students may be prepared and ready for the Senior Band when school opens next fall. The Senior Band must rely on the Junior Band from year to year to keep the needed instrumentation up to full strength. PAGE 66 Grade Uperetta RED CANDLES A Christmas operetta in two acts.
