4 lo ROSEBUD se : Pp ec — ; tp Ny : Sal — € Y, Pp pe Cet of Manesis VOLUME XXXVI Edited by The Senior Class Our Treasure Chest Of Knowledge DEDICATION For his willing cooperation with all student activities and his loyal support of the school, its traditions and ideals, we the staff of the 1949 Rosebud dedicate this thirty-sixth volume to Charles A. Overmeyer. TREASURE CHEST We the ‘Forty-Niners in concluding our high school education have kept a record of our studies and activities in this book, our Treasure Chest of knowledge. The ‘Forty-Niners” of a hundred years ago worked, struggled, and fought for gold. With this discovery of gold, people from every walk of life worked and struggled to get to California by two main routes. Hundreds perished on the !7,000-mile voyage around Cape Horn, or the 2,400-mile overland trail they followed to the tune of “Susannah.” They had for a goal in life wealth of gold and silver. But we have worked and struggled to obtain knowledge, which is our goal in life and which we believe will benefit us and our fellow men. In our struggle for knowledge in our regular academic subjects and through extra-curricular activities, we have learned to get along with our classmates. In our quests during the last twelve years, we have also been building character which is very essential for success in the life in this rapidly changing world. These things we prize more than gold or silver. We the modern ‘’Forty-Niners” do not think of a treasure chest as a place tor storing wealth in yellow gold as the original ’’Forty-Niners” did. We measure wealth, not in terms of gold, but in terms of knowledge and success in life. To some of us, whose school days are over, our Treasure Chest is nearly completed, to others who will continue their education, it is only a beginning in their new search for wealth. The following pages will reveal some of the wealth which our Treasure Chest contains. Top: CHARLES MAYNE Bottom: DONALD MYERS DOROTHY SMITH JOAN McMASTERS SCHOOL BOARD It would be difficult to choose the personnel of a school board who has the interest of the school more at heart than Mr. Shuman, Mr. Myers, and Mr. Mayne. Messrs. Myers and Shuman have a special school interest because they have children in school. Mr. Shuman, as a business man, represents busi- ness interests on the School Board. Mr. Myers, as a farm- er, represents the rural peo- ple. While Mr. Mayne, a home owner and a traveling sales- man, represents the citizens from another angle; in his travel he has a fine opportun- ity to observe business con- ditions and to become ac- quainted with school prob- lems of other communities. OTTO SHUMAN In a modern high school of today, there is a great deal of office work to be done. During this present school year the office work was done by five girls. Dorothy Smith, a junior, worked during the activity period gathering the records of attend- ance from the various home rooms. She also ob- tained the number of pupils staying for lunch for the lunch-room. Marian DeWitt, a senior, worked in the office for Superintendent Overmeyer, the third period. She had charge of the Disbursement Ledger, Fund Ledger, and Claim Docket. Janice Shultz, senior, checked afternoon at tendance and recorded the high school attendance in the register. She also takes care of the typing for the Athletic Department. In addition she helped with the permanent cards. Charlotte Shull took care of the office the fifth period. She kept alumni records up to date, took dictations, typed, and wrote checks. Joan McMasters, a junior, did general office work the last period. She obtained the final report of the day from the teachers on attendance. She helped with the grade cards.

The rest of the present senior class joined these, either in the grades, or in high school. After going through the usual trials and tribulations of elementary students —quarrels, pranks and punishments, appearing in concerts, scrubbed and shining in new white dresses and ribbons, long pants and bow ties; we finally entered Junior High School, wit h Mr. Shore and Mr. McIntosh as our teachers. We started our high school year with an enrollment of forty-six eager freshmen, full of enthusiasm and extreme ideas, which our new teacher, Mr. Leslie, immediately curbed and directed into the right channels. There were many new faces among us that year. Our sophomore year was another which we enjoyed to the fullest. Those numerous class parties and roller skating parties which we sponsored were informative as well as enjoyable. Our teacher Miss Yoder was full of strictness as well as a lot of fun. When we came to school as juniors, we missed several old faces. During this year we edited the school paper, “Through The Keyhole” and also gave a most successful Junior-Senior Reception under the sponsorship of Mrs. Voss. The songs of Max Lovett, were divine, and OH! what lovely dresses! Also we were guilty of giving the play, ‘Don’t Darken My- Door’ during our junior year. In September, as seniors we entered school with a new dignity befitting our classification. This year our biggest job was to edit the year book, ‘’The Rosebud.’ We produced a play ‘Here Comes Charlie” under the direction of Virgil Graber. Also several paper drives throughout the year has been a source of our funds. We will always be grateful to our parents and teachers for making it possible for us to arrive at this juncture of our educational career. 16 Hail the ‘’Forty-Niners”’ Flying white and royal blue, With colors no where finer We're displaying them for you. Our school days slowly dwindling, Our books are ripped and torn, Some are used for kindling, The rest are all forlorn. Let's look into the future And see what we can find Is going to happen to The class of 49”. Janice Shultz, stenographer, Has gained such great success, Robert Girardot mastered physics And teaches at W. H. S. Robert Crooks is a Doctor And not too good, you'll find, For “Pete’’ DeWitt, who is his wife, Keeps him way behind. Admiral Marks, our navy man, Has sailed the seven seas, And Frances Owen, nature artist, Is painting birds and bees. Douglas Speer, Insurance man, Is in his father’s shoes, And Lee Muzzillo, arctic explorer, Has got the arctic blues. — Now Lee Grate, bless his heart, Has joined the Foreign Legion, And Bill Patterson is making beds, Up in the Polar Region. As for Fee and Shull, They're doing all right. She stays home, with the kids, While he goes out at night. June Smith is married now, She never did get to college, She married '’Al’’ from St. Joe And forgot about knowledge. CLASS POEM 17 ‘Rosie’ Myers, a singer, Always was off key, Now she’s got a harmonica, And a banjo on her knee. Walt Deetz, the eager beaver, Owns four filling stations, Florence Shady’s gone to Russia To study foreign relations. Eleanor Cobbs has gone to college, To learn all the ‘“know-hows”, DuVern Carnahan is waiting on her, Patiently milking his cows. Duke” Williams, the shy guy, Who thought school was too much bother, Stays at home reading his book On “How To Be A Father”. Jean Shumaker, Senior Queen, Has married “Sam, at last. Barbara Camp has an office job And she cannot be surpassed. Harley Cobbs has fallen in love, With little Mary Brown, Forrest Rudolph, Mary’s beau, Is hunting Harley down. Loren Bowers, the Rubber Man, Is in the County Fair, Jacqueline Noirot is an opera singer And it's really hard to bear. Charlotte and I are happy, I haven't heard one complaint, She never wanted to marry a poet, And I tell you truly, I ain't. —Marvin Geeting uUntors TOP ROW: Dixie Aldrich, Betty Bonecutter, Elaine Bowers, Duane Bowman, Ronald Boyd, David Buss.

CLASS HISTORY In September, 1938, thirty-one shy pupils entered the first grade of the Waterloo Schools where Miss Bickel was our teacher. Miss Wisner and Miss Hamman guided us through the second and third grades. All of us are indebted to Miss Dirrim and Mr. Messmore who lent us a helping hand through the fourth and fifth grades. Mr. Gurtner was our teacher in the sixth grade while Mr. Shore served as our instructor in the seventh. Finally, Mr. McIntosh taught us in the eighth grade where our class consisted of twenty-nine pupils. Our class, whose enrollment had now increased from twenty-nine to forty-five, entered the freshman class with Mr. Leslie as our sponsor. A year later our class became sophomores with an enrollment of thirty-eight and Miss Allman served as our home room teacher. Arriving in the junior year, our class was now composed of thirty-five pupils. Mr. Graber was our faculty advisor for the year. Our class enjoyed a hayride, a skating party, and a house party. In order to raise money for the annual Junior-Senior Reception, the junior class sponsored the school concession stand. The juniors also produced a play during the month of March. Thus, our junior year was a busy one filled with hard work, but it is one always to be remembered.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In September of 1940, we, the first grade, entered school under Miss Getts. We had an en- rollment of twenty-three students. By gaining some and losing some, we started the following fall with twenty-four pupils and were directed by Miss Wisner. In the third grade, there were twenty-two of us under Miss Hamman. We were guided through the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades by Miss Dirrim, Mr. Shore, and Mr. Gurtner. Our home room teachers in the junior high were Mr. Shore and Mr. MclIntosh. From junior high, we passed into high school with Mr. Leslie as our home room teacher. As freshies, we managed to have more than our share of parties. This year we had an enrollment of thirty-six pupils with Mr. Eppley and Miss Thomp son as our home room teachers. At Christmas, we sold cards and wrappings as our money-making project. The purchase of our class sweaters was another high light of the year.

EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1941 our mothers led us through the door of the Waterloo first grade and introduced us to Miss Mildred Getts, our teacher. Miss Margaret Kelly guided us through the second grade and she was well liked by all. Miss Hamman helped us through the third grade. Through the fourth grade we were instructed by Miss Cleo Dirrim. Mrs. Centa was our teacher in the fifth grade and we found Mr. Gurtner very helpful in the sixth grade, getting us ready for Junior High School. Miss Altman, Miss Thompson, Mr. Leslie, Mr. Shore, and Mr. McIntosh guided us through our various activities in the seventh and eighth grades. This year in the eighth grade we started the school term with twenty-four pupils. Two pupils moved away. We had a Hallowe’en party and at Christmas we exchanged names. We all received very nice gifts. From the first of the year we had our goal to complete the work of the eighth grade and graduate. Even though this year was filled with hard work it has been a year to be remembered. Our class was organized for the first time.

SEVENTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY On September 8, 1942, twenty-nine eager little boys and girls were enrolled in the first grade in the Waterloo Public School. Our teacher was Miss Mildred Getts, but before the year was over she became Mrs. Roger Thomson. Five more pupils were added and our class then was composed of twenty-two girls and twelve boys. She gave us a very good start in school and at the end of the term promoted us to the second grade. Our second grade teacher was Miss Margaret Kelly who is now teaching in Auburn. She helped us add to our store of knowledge and at the end of the year promoted us to the third grade. Here Miss Hamman gave us very valuable instruction and training in adding to our skills in reading, writing and arithmetic. Our fourth grade teacher was Miss Cleo Dirrim. In this grade we studied some new subjects and improved in the old ones. In the fifth grade Mrs. Kuehn was our teacher. At this time there were thirty-seven members in our class. At the end of the year we were promoted to the sixth grade where Mr. Gurtner was our teacher. We find that a little more is expected of us each year. This year we were in the seventh grade with Mr. Shore our home room teacher. Mr. McIntosh taught some subjects. Miss Thompson, Miss Altman, and Mr. Leslie also instructed us in certain subjects. We completed the year with fourteen boys and twenty girls in our class. Two girls, Beverly Maxwell and Gail Richter withdrew during the term. Two boys, John Engle and Adrian Long have been enrolled. 29 ? th Al: BOTTOM ROW: Jane Miller, Ruth Ann Deetz, Donna Vee Till, Janet Shady, Dorothy Koon, Ana Lee Wiseman, Nancy Johnston.

We admire him for sticking to ideals and convic- tions that he believes are right. His aims are to develop boys into good athletes. Through rigid training and hard work, he intends that these boys who have been good athletes will in iurn | be good men—men whom their school and community may be proud to claim as their _ DON LONG BRUCE GURTNER former students and fellow citizens. First Team Coach Second Team Coach 77 Mr. Gurtner again coached the ‘’B” team last year. He gave much time and effort in train- ing these boys. They had a successful season under his guidance, winning ten out of eighteen games. He was not only interested in winning games but also in building character. He has tried to instill in their minds the importance of RONALD ROBINSON sportsmanship, training and education. Student Manager Every basketball team needs a student manager, and Ronald has served in that ca- pacity this year. He had a big task to do and went at it with a will. Ronald has had extra duties this year in laundering the suits. He has relieved the coach of many responsibilities.

Charlotte and Joan have been leading yells for the first team.

We started the first part of the season by winning rather consistently but lost several at the end of the season that should have been won. In the eighteen season games the Kittens scored four hundred and thirty-five points and our opponents scored four hundred and forty-three points. We lost our first game of the county tourney to Butler by a score of fourteen to eighteen. Our hope is that we have given these boys enough experience that several will make good varsity players next year. 36 FRONT ROW: Rosellen Myers, Jacqueline Noirot, Jane Miser, June Smith, Charlotte Vian, Frances Owen, Florence Shady.

The band also played for the Republican Rally at LaGrange which featured the Governor of Indiana and several outstanding political figures. A concert was given prior to the meeting of the Superintendents’ and Principals’ Sectional meeting at the State Teachers’ Association. At the games this winter, our twirlers put on several exhibitions of twirling. The band played and marched for the Butler game and the Ashley game. Colored lights were used by the band to form a huge Christmas tree on the floor. The band took part in the contest at Columbia City and the Solo and Ensemble Contest at Harrison Hill School.

Waterloo Students Appear On The “City Desk” On November 23, five students from the American Government class of the Waterloo High School, took part in the “City Desk’ Radio Program, which is an informal discussion of the current headlines. The program was aired over Station WKJG under the auspices of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. The topics under discussion were: ‘The Chinese Situation,” ‘The Berlin Air Lift,’ and ‘The Palestine Problem.” The students had a very interesting evening with a tour of the Journal-Gazette Building. They enjoyed a lunch with the representatives of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette after the broadcast.

A Latin Club consisting of those twenty-two students enrolled in the Latin I and II classes was organized early in the school year. The purpose of this newly organized club is to promote interest, not only in the Latin language, but also in the ancient Roman and Greek culture and mythology. In order to build a more aggressive organization, the club members voted to invite those juniors and seniors who were former students of Latin into their club. Fifteen eligible juniors and seniors answered this invitation so that the club now has a membership of thirty-seven. The Latin Club has adopted the words ‘Caesar Latin Club” as its official name and Caesar's famous report “Veni, vidi, vici’” (I came, I saw, I conquered) as its official motto. Two parties were held during the first semester. The club members have also drawn up a constitution which has been officially adopted. Then, too, a club pin has been selected and ordered for each member. Among some of the activities which have occupied the attention of the club members were the building of several Roman models, the showing of two Roman movies, the dramatic presentation of a Roman marriage and banquet, and oral reports concerning some noted Roman characters.

The Future Homemakers of America is a new organization, both in the state and nation, as well as in Waterloo. The club is an outgrowth of the many home economics clubs that had previously been organized in the high schools. It was not until 1945, however, that they were all organized into one large organization under the name, Future Home- makers of America. The motto of the organization, “TOWARD NEW HORIZONS,” expresses its purpose—learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. FHA is organized especially to further interests in home economics. All girls must have some training in home economics before they are eligible for membership. It is possible for them to attain four degrees of achievement in the club by fulfilling the standards for the degrees as outlined in the handbook. The Waterloo Chapter was organized in November and has 18 members. At Christmas time, the girls prepared an attractive box of homemade candy for the residents of the DeKalb County Farm. In January, the program was centered around choosing radio programs. The chapter members were officially initiated and the officers installed by the Auburn FHA on January 19. Ways of developing a pleasing personality were discussed by several of the girls at the February meeting. Five of the girls attended the meeting of the Northeastern District of the Indiana Association of the Future Homemakers of America in Auburn on February 19. March found a ‘Better Manners’’ campaign underway. The girls assisted in pre- senting the style show. Several of the members had the Junior Homemaker Degree conferred upon them at the end of the school year. The officers for 1949 are as follows: PRESIDENT - - - - - - : .

Harley’s team won, The chapter raffled off a turkey on November 17 at the St. Joe basketball game to help raise money for the treasury. A teacher from St. Joe was the winner. The major purposes of the Future Farmers of America are to develop agricultural leadership, co-operating citizenship, and improvement of Agriculture. Throughout the United States, the or- ganization has grown rapidly in number of chapters and in memberships and is now considered as the largest farm-boy organization in the world.

The Waterloo Y-Teen Club, with a membership of 38 members, was sponsored this year by Miss Altman. The club has been very busy and engaged in many worthwhile events in the years of 1948-1949. There has been a meeting of the members every other week. During the basketball season, the Y-Teens had charge of the hot dog stand. At Christmas, in exchange for holly and mistletoe, we sent a box to Kentucky. We also gave Christmas boxes to a couple of local families. We sponsored Christmas and Valentine dances. We have had charge of some very inter- esting programs, among which were addresses by Mr. Joseph Tucker from International Business College and Mr. Lavern from Warner Beauty College, both of Fort Wayne. We had a panel discussion on teen ager’s actions. The leaders in the panel discussion were: Mrs. Margaret Ann McIntosh, Mr. Charles Overmeyer, Rev. Paul Eppley, and Mrs. Mae Shady. On March 19 in company with some Y-Teen mothers, the club visited some of the large churches of different denominations in Fort Wayne. Several of the girls attended a Y-Teen Conference at South Bend in March. The active year was brought to a close at the end of the semester with the installation of new officers of the future senior class and the initiation of future Y-Teen members. 48 Hi- Y FRONT ROW: Harold Long, Robert Crooks, Don Robinson, Patterson.

The Waterloo High School Student Council was organized in 1947 under the sponsorship of the Hi-Y. Through its organization, it was hoped to bring about a closer relationship between ithe student body and faculty and at the same time give ihe students a measure of experience in selfgovernment through the solving of some of the school problems. The work of the Council has been rather limiiod dicing the past two years chiefly because of the inexperience of both the students and the sponsors. It is the hope that as the years go by, through means of trial and error, that the Council will ke able to share a larger part of the responsibilities of student administration. The Council is composed of four members from each of the high school classes. They are elected annually by the student body. The faculty iz represented by a sponsor. 92 JANITORS Simon Kohl, Ed Bowers September... 7 School starts. Hooray!! 17. Out for the fair.
