The Rosebud Vo lu me XXXV Edited By The Senior Class 1948 DEDICATION For his loyalty and faithfulness to our class, and because of his untiring effort in helping us to publish our annual we, the Seniors of 1948, dedicate our annual to Mr. Clarence L. Bowers. THEME Dear Diary: In concluding one of the most enjoyable periods of our lives, v e as Seniors have recorded our school days on the following pages. To some of us, school days are over and to others they are just beginning, but to all will remain the memories of the fellowship we shared. As we leaf through you. Dear Diary, we see recorded the numerous activities of our high school. It seems just yesterday that we entered the primary, then junior high and finally high school, as green Freshmen. Then v e were positive we knew all the answers but soon discovered we were mistaken. During high school most of our time was occupied in preparation of our course of study and in the different school .activities. Finally, after twelve years, the fateful night arrived, bringing with it a feeling of both happiness and regret. And how proud v e were when our diplomas were presented to us! As v e come to the close of our diary we are glad that we have recorded these facts that v e may never forget this important part of our lives. PAGE TV O Dear Diary: This reminds me of school days, and all those who con- tributed to our education. PAGE THREE SCHOOL BOARD Clyde H.

Of these thirty, thirteen have com- pleted their entire twelve years of schooling in the Waterloo schools. They are Bud Baird, Beverly Bickel, Mary Lou Bowman, Pat Bowers, Phyllis Gratz, Bill Hubartt, Dick Kutzner, Susie Luce, Pat Miser, Marilyn Morr, Carl Rohm, and Bob Stanley. Miss Brandon took over our education in the second grade. The following year our teacher was Miss Hamman and we moved from the old school build- ing to the high school building. Miss Dirrim and Mr. McIntosh were our teachers in the fourth and fifth grades and Mr. Gurtner gave us the final push into the junior high where we were under the guidance of Mr. Blomeke and Mr. Shore. With the help of some students from Corunna we entered high school with an enrollment of forty. This number was later increased to forty-six. Bob Stanley was elected president of the class, Dick Kutzner was vice-president, Jayne Bowers was secretary-treasurer, and Pat Bowers was historian. Mr. Bowers was our faculty advisor. We sponsored a skating party and a hay ride during this year. During our sophomore year we sold Christmas cards and stationery to raise money. We were very proud of our blue and gray class sweaters which we purchased that year. Bob Stanley was re-elected president, Dick Kutzner was vice-president, Pat Bowers secretary-treasurer, and Mary Lou Bowman was historian. Our junior year was one of busy activity. Our class play, He Couldn't Marry Five,” was a smash hit. We also gave several dances. The theme of our Junior-Senior banquet was Fiesta and it was a very colorful occasion. Our concession stand, the Bar None proved to be very profitable. Miss Noffsinger was our faculty advisor and Jayne Bowers was president of the class. Dick Kutzner was again elected vice-president, Pat Bowers was secre- tary-treasurer, and Mary Lou Bowman was historian. As seniors we started with an enrollment of 35. This number was later reduced to 33. All through our high school years we have always taken an active part in sports and the various other activities. We have some very good reasons to be proud of the six seniors who received basketball sweaters this year. Willie's Weekend, our senior class play was a roaring success. We sponsored several waste paper drives to help raise money with which to put out the Rosebud. Our president was again Bob Stanley, Darrell Johnson was vice-president, and Dick Kutzner was secretary-treasurer. Mr. Bowers was our advisor and he also helped us with our yearbook. As we, the class of '48, leave W. H. S. we will take with us many fond memories and experiences. We wish to thank our parents and teachers for their patience and guidance, for we now realize that we must have been rather trying at times. With the guidance they have given us and the education they have helped us receive we feel more confident as we face the future.

Diary dear, you have recorded the most exciting events of my school life. School would have been dull indeed without these thrilling games. PAGE THIRTY-FIVE Coach Long Coach Long has Icon handing basketball, baseball, and track teams in Waterloo High School to: the lost three years. Mr. Long is very amiable and is well liked by the basket! all 1 eys. This year his basketball team won thir- teen cut of twenty.one games. Waterloo tied with Fremont ior the conference championship. He brought the team cut ot a mid-season slump after a flour- ishing beginning in good shape tor trie sectional tourney. The team lost in the semi-finals after winning from ?. Lake and Spencerville. who was the sectional winner last year. The forecast predicts that Waterloo will have another tough team next year. Coach Gurtnor Gurtnor who has boon coaching the B team for several years, keeps sending well trained boys on to the varsity team. Ho spends much lime, effort and thought in developing these boys. Although ho lives in the country, rain, snow or bad roads never seem to keep him from being at the athletic events and on time. Leon Bowers As student manager, Leon has carried quite a burden in a very dependable manner. He has been responsible for valuable equipment and has given it excellent care. Truly he has been the coach's right hand man and his place is going to bo hard to fill. First Team Yell Leaders Darrell Johnson. Mary Lou Bowman, Mary Giant. Second Team Yell Leaders Charlotte Shull.

Top row Mr. Long, Leon Bowers. Norman Carr, Lee Grate. Ray Eloph. Bill Hubartt. BASKETBALL The Wildcats opened the basketball season by playing host to the St. Joe Tigers. The Wildcats were out for revenge because of the two defeats that the Tigers had handed them in the last two seasons. But this time the Wildcats won easily. The boys started slow but soon caught fire and led at the half 20 to 17. The Wildcats got hot the last half and ran up a large score. The final score was 53 to 29. Stanley was high man with 17 points. The Wildcats then traveled to Angola to meet the Hornets. The Wildcats were out to defeat the Hornets for the third straight time and succeeded in doing so. The Wildcats led at the half 22 to 19. Angola rallied many times during the last half but could not overtake the Wildcats. The final score was 43 to 39. Kutzner had scoring honors with 18 points. Our next home game was played with the Spencerville Raiders, the Sectional Champions. The Wildcats ran up a 21 to 7 score the first half. The Raiders came within 6 points of the Wildcats in the third quarter, but another drive by the Wildcats was too much for Spencerville and Water- loo won 39 to 25. The Avilla Panthers came here Nov. 25 for a game with the Wildcats, but were defeated 58 to 41. The Panthers kept fairly close to the Wildcats the first half, but a third quarter drive downed the Panthers. This was the Wildcats fourth straight win. Next on the schedule was the P. Lake Spartons.

The Spartons' of- fense could not get going and the Wildcats piled up a 20 point lead in the third quarter. On Dec. 5 the Wildcats went to Butler for a game with the Windmills. It was a battle from start to finish. The Windmills led at the end of the first quarter 16 to 10, and at the half 23 to 22. Butler threatened seriously in the third and fourth periods, but each time the Wildcats would come right back and score. The final score was 36 to 32 in favor of Waterloo. This was the Wildcats' sixth straight win. Waterloo then went to Hamilton for a game. The Wildcats won easily 44 to 17. Neither team scored much in the first period but the Wildcats gradually pulled av ay from Hamilton in the second quarter to lead 18 to 9 at the half. In the third and fourth quarters the Wildcats really went to work and the final score was 44 to 17. Kutzner led the scoring with 19 points.

Bobs rugged rebounding was instrumental in gamering many an extra point. His general floor play was flawless and coupled wjih his ability to hit made him an extremely valuable man as well as a dangerous foe. KUTZNER . . . His defensive powers were superb. Many of his op- ponents ended the evening without a basket. Dick played a hard driving type of game that was relentless. His scoring ability was well known to every opponent and feared by all. BAIRD . . . An excellent running mate at forward for Stanley. Bud had the remarkable ability to break fast from his defensive spot, on down the floor ahead of the opponents and together with some classy passing, lay the ball up before anyone could touch him. HUBARTT . . . D.m.nutive and fast, left handed and an excellent long she: a hard worker with never-say-die spirit. Billy had uncanny defensive ability. ELOPH . . . Well-known as a speedy defensive man, to make his opponent work hard for each point. Ray could be depend- ed upon to score when the going became the toughest. SEE PAGE 39 GRATE . . . Cr.e more year yet to play and should prove to be his best. Developing rapidly. Lee is able to his consistently on h:s drive in shots. He gets off his feet v ell and con- sequently is a rugged rebounder. FEE . . . p.ay has speed to spare which will be a valuable asset :. x- year. He covers a lot of territory and is difficult to stop. A capable forward or guard on anyone's team. ROBINSON . . . Don’s height brought the team many rebounds and as a Sophomore has played steady top-notch ball with the best of them. He will be a valuable member of the Wildcats for the next two years. HILKEY . . . Three more years on the team and we're expecting to see Richard improve each season. Ho. too, did a lot of rebounding and hits consistently. He has the ability to knife in for nice lay ups. (Continuel from page 38) In our final conference game of the season the Wildcats defeated the Wolcotville Panthers 44 to 3C. Winning the game Waterloo became the Co-Champions of the Northeastern Indiana Conference. The Wildcats hit early in the game but Wolcotville soon caught fire and led at the end of the first period 12 to 9. The game became very close in the second quarter with Waterloo leading at the half 19 to 16. In the third quarter the Wildcats' fast break wore down the Panthers' defense and pulled away from them in the third quarter. Kutzner led the scoring with 18 points. Our next game was at Kendallville with the Comets. Their height proved to be too much for the Wildcats and won 35 to 47. Waterloo could not get going the first half and found themselves behind 23 to 12 at the half. In the last period the Wildcats could not get rolling. Stanley had scoring honors with 11 points.

This time again the Wildcats easily defeated the Spartons 68 to 27. Waterloo went into a commanding lead in the first quarter leading 18 to 3. Waterloo increased their lead in the second quarter, leading 31 to 9 at the half. After defeating the Spartons the Wildcats played the Spencerville Raiders, who defeated Aubum earlier in the day. Waterloo won 38 to 32. It was a well played game throughout the first half. The Raiders tired rapidly, while the Wildcats, who had an easy game in the forenoon, kept the pace to win and the right to enter the semi-finals. The Wildcats then met the Fremont Eagles. The Eagles had defeated the Wildcats earlier in the season and were out to do it again. They defeated the Wildcats in a good ball game 37 to 32. Waterloo wasted no time in getting started as they were ahead of the Eagles 20 to 12 at the half. The Eagles tied the score in the third quarter and then pulled ahead to win.

Mr. Overmeyer, as an administrator, mentioned what it meant to our school to win. He also spoke of the fine spirit of the band, and how hard they had worked through the hot days to get ready for the contest.

Again last fall we were invited to participate in the all district Chorus at Fort Wayne State Teachers' Institute. We were only allowed eight participants, thus eight Seniors and Juniors were chosen to represent the chorus. At Christmas time the Chorus did a novel arrangement of White Christmas with the High School Band accompanying them at the Christmas program. Several school programs have featured the Chorus in a group of numbers this year, namely the P. T. A. and the electric scoreboard benefit program. At this writing we are working on several numbers to be sung at the Music Contest at Napanee in April. The director took some Chorus members to Fort Wayne in November to attend the Choral Clinic Classes for a day. The Chorus is directed by Mrs. Voss. Patricia has only been our accom- panist one year but she has proven herself worthy of much praise from us. She was always present at rehearsals and willing to co-operate and do her best. She spent many hours outside o Chorus time practicing the numbers that were required in Chorus, with un- tiring effort. She had another fine qual- ity for an accompanist, which was to play the numbers as suggested rather than her own interpretations. We will miss her at the piano next year, as she graduates this spring. OCTETTE Left to right -Richard Kutzner. Marilyn Morr. Doug Speer, Beverly Bickel, Franklin Fluke. Pat Miser.

Beginning the year the annual Y-Teen Conference was held at Waterloo with a large at- tendance by the surrounding towns. During the basketball games the Y-Teens had charge of the hot dog stand. At Christmas we had several projects. We sent a box to Kentucky in exchange for mistletoe and holly, gave a Christmas dinner box to a family in Hamilton, and made toys for the Allen County Children's Home. This past year we have done our best to make this a larger and more useful organization.

Leon Bowers and Ross Myers were chosen captains. Leon's side was the winner. The boys showed much interest in this troublesome problem of freeing the community from pests. The chapter raffled off a turkey at the Spencerville basketball game. The money was used to increase the balance in the treasury for current expenses. In November the No. 3 district meeting of F. F. A. was held at Columbia City. The boys were very good in attending. For refreshments, the boys will always remember the good ice cream that was served. The Future Farmers of America is the National Organization of, by, and for farm boys study- ing vocational agriculture in public secondary schools which operate under the provisions of the National Vocational Education Acts. High school departments of vocational agriculture provide four-year courses of systematic instruction in agriculture and farm mechanics, taught by teachers who are agricultural college graduates employed on a twelve-months' basis. They follow up their instruction throughout the year by supervising the farming operations of their students on their home farms. The average age of F. F. A. members is approximately 17 years. The major purposes of the Future Farmers of America are to develop agricultural leadership, co-operation, citizenship and improved agriculture. Throughout the United States, the Territory of Hawaii, and the Island of Puerto Rico, the organization has grown rapidly in numbers of chap- ters and membership, and is now recognized as the largest farm boy organization in the world.

The Student Council was organized in order to foster a closer co-operation between the faculty and students, to provide for beneficial activities for students, and through the development of our ideals of citizenship to help us show more loyalty to our school, community, and country. This is the first year that the Waterloo High School has had a Student Council. The Council sold basketball pins and sponsored the Tuberculosis drive. Also the Council sponsored a skating party and built an enclosed bulletin board. —Elaine Bowers, Reporter JANITORS Simon Kohl, Ed Bowers BUS DRIVERS Ike Broom, Simon Kohl, Harvey Frick, Clark Kelly.
