Tate 1952 ROSEBUD VOLUME XXXIX Edited by The Senior Class 1952 Best Wishes to Seniors—C. O. Speer and Son, Insurance, Waterloo Dedication With deepest appreciation for our educational opportunities; with a sincere promise of lives of honor, of ambition, of reverence; and with de- votion to them for the ideals they have inspired: we, the Seniors of 1952, wish to dedicate this annual to our parents. Theme We, the Seniors of 1952, are grateful to the parents, faculty, and friends who have all helped to make our education possible. By their efforts we graduates can look back at our school years with pleasant memories and can look forward to the future with confidence. Each of us has made plans for his future. We shall try to make our lives sublime by making use of the guidance we have been given. We hope that through our efforts in school we have wisely influenced those who will yet continue their high school educations. We are grateful for the friendships we have made and only hope that our being has caused others to consider our presence as beneficial. We have engaged in many activities throughout our school life. All of our extra-curricular activities have added knowledge, as well as variety, to our way of living. We are thankful to be able to gain such a well-rounded education, and we hope that students yet to graduate will realize the meaning and joy in being able to experience such an accomplishment. “Lives of Great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime; And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.” W.

Glenn Hubartt is trustee of Grant Township. This is his second term as secretary of the School Board. This is the first year for William Malle on the School Board. Mr. Malle is employed by the Auburn Clutch and represents our town on the Board. One of the important pillars of American democracy has been the free public schools. The idea of free public ed ucation to train and equip citizens to carry on the functions of an intelligent electorate came with the philosophy of self-government. Early in the history of the United States the state constitutions em- powered small groups to assume the responsibility of the operation of local educational institutions. Now we find small groups of citizens organized by law with powers to tax, employ personnel, and shape the educational policy of the school districts. These individuals are drawn from all walks of life. Almost all of them show a devotion to duty frequently at the ex- pense of personal sacrifice. C. W. Creasy, Jeweler, Auburn PAGE 4 CHARLES A.

McClintock, Waterloo Class Poem Alfred likes his motorcycle, that is true; If you don’t watch out, he’ll run over you. Gloria’s man is from Tri-State; We know that someday marriage will be her fate. Though Carol’s heart is sad and lonely, She will always wait for her one and only. Chuck, the Vice, whose past is not clear, Takes over the work when the president’s not here. Eugene is a lad who was here every day; He kept coming and coming and couldn’t stay away. When we put our government books away to keep, Bill will not know it for he will be asleep. Life is the sentence Delbert’s booked, Cause his wife has got him hooked. When it comes to sportsmanship, You'll find Edison’s name tops the list. Shirley’s cooking might not be grand; But when it came to hunting, she found her man. Roscoe’s tomato crop was fine; And we find that in the ag. field he really shines. As Tom Rynearson hails from the farm, Studying government does him no harm. When it come to speeches, call on Tom Mohr, Because in this he really scores. Dorsey’s a hero—a hero so tall; He became famous by playing basketball. Betty is bashful, quiet, and shy; She plans on marrying by and by. Phyllis, our historian, is cheery and bright; Doesn’t like government but says bookkeep- ing’s all right. Stan is a lad so stern and sound; Most of his trips are Corunna-bound. Bev Boren with eyes so bright and hair so brown Is one gal who really gets around. Anna Bell, who likes to sew, Will soon be making her own trousseau. Bev Zerkle, who is small and tiny, Goes around thi nking that she’s mighty. Betty is married to a sailor so true; When he’s not around, my! is she blue. When a Ford goes down the street, Look out! Shuman’s in the driver’s seat. Margie will soon be going to college, But without her Butch—What’s KNOWLEDGE? Life may be tough in our town, But Ned doesn’t let it get him down. Max is longing for the 22nd of May, Cause he’ll no longer have to stay. Aletha’s plans are to be a secretary, And in future years she hopes to marry. George’s little blue Ford goes down the street; I bet it’s Nancy he’s off to meet. Mary Ellen as bashful and oh so shy; Just give her time and she’ll catch a guy. When it comes to schooling, Larry has no fear; But if you want him to jump, just holler “Speer.” Nancy is going to I. U. to be a nurse; If they turn her down, nothing could be worse. I, Lois Laderman, am not a poet; You needn’t bother telling me, for I already know it. Citizen’s State Bank, Waterloo PAGE 21 PAGE 22 Senior Class History On September 9, 1940, eighteen of the present Senior Class presented themselves to Miss Getts of the first grade and demanded an education. Miss Wisner and Miss Hamman guided us through the second and third grades. Miss Dirrim, Mrs. Kuehn, and Mr. Gurtner helped us through the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. We were under the guidance of Mr. Shore and Mr. McIntosh in junior high. We started our freshman school year with an enrollment of forty-one. Mr. Leslie was our faculty advisor. Our sophomore year was another year which we enjoyed very much. We sold Christmas cards and stationery to raise money. We were very proud when we purchased our red and white sweaters. Mrs. Reed and Mr. Shideler acted as our faculty advisors. During our junior year we presented our class play, “Bolts and Nuts,” under the direction of Mr. Long with Mr. Buesking acting as our faculty advisor. In order to raise money for our senior trip we sponsored the school concession stand. That year we also purchased our class rings. As seniors we had an enrollment of thirty-one. “The Monkey’s Uncle” was a smash hit under the direction of Mr. Long. We sponsored several paper drives to raise money for the Rosebud and senior trip to Washington, D. C. Mr. Bowers helped with the Rosebud and Mr. Dove acted as faculty advisor. Phyllis Hissong, Class Historian “The Monkey's Uncle’ Gary Abershaw, handsome young architect and eligible bachelor, has invited his foster nephew, Tommy Piper, to spend the coming school year with him. Gary has never seen Tommy’s eighteen-year-old sister, Bonnibel, and his mean stepfather, Sam Higgins. Gary plans to adopt Tommy and decides he must marry in order to provide his son with a suitable mother. He invites two candidates for that position to spend the week-end—a young widow, Lili Dazell, and his secretary, Rhonda Yates—much against the advice of his lovable, Negro housekeeper, Aunt Dosie. Unknown to Gary, Sam Higgins is trying to force Bonnibel to marry his half-baked son, Milo, in hopes of getting her property in his hands. She runs away and arrives at Gary’s, dressed in Tommy’s clothes and carrying a pet skunk, creating a perfect furor! Bonnibel, head over heels in love with Gary, determines no other woman shall marry him. Accordingly, she plays all manner of monkey tricks on her rivals, Lili and Rhonda. With the aid of her pet skunk, Sweet William, Bonnibel thwarts her enemies, routs Sam Higgins and Milo, and finally captures the man of her heart and ends the play in a whirlwind finale.

Junior Class History When the school year of 1951-1952 opened, thirty-four students en- rolled in the Waterloo junior class. Bob Kerns, a new member, moved away after several months which made our total membership thirty-three. Mr. Clarence Buesking, our class sponsor, has helped us through a very successful year. In the fall the class held a hayride at the home of Nellie Rudolph; we then returned to the school house for a square dance and refreshments. November was the month in which we received our class rings—tokens which will later recall to us many memories of high school. Four boys in our class took part in sports, sixteen students were in chorus, eleven were in band, and nearly all were members of some club in school. Emogene Hilkey was a cheer leader and George Walter served as student manager of the basketball team. Our junior class throughout the year operated the concession stand. All profits made from this were put with funds in the treasury to be used in paying the expenses of our trip to be taken at the close of our senior year.

Cider and doughnuts were served. Sponsors were Mr. and Mrs. Max Riggin and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Reed. The class took an active part in the selling of Christmas cards in October and November. The class made a good profit, which is to be used for senior activities. The new class sweaters caused quite a discussion among classmates. The colors which were finally decided upon were purple and white. The sophomore class lost several classmates to neighboring schools. Max Barnett moved to Auburn. Cleon Knott and Barbara Milks are now attending Fort Wayne schools. Richard and Russell Warstler moved to Garrett. Jo Ann Johnston moved from St. Joe to Waterloo. Eleven members of the class are in chorus, and twelve members par- ticipate in band. Seven boys belong to F. F. A. Six girls belong to F. H. A., and nine members are in the Caesar Latin Club. Last summer a surprise farewell party was held at the home of Laura Gratz for Barbara Milks. The class joined together in buying a rhinestone necklace and bracelet for Barbara.

Freshman Class History The class of “55” has begun its last four years of knowledge before going to college. Mrs. Thompson started us on the long road of knowledge. In the second grade Mrs. McIntosh helped us a great deal. Miss Hamman, Miss Dirrim, Mrs. Kuehn, and Mr. Gurtner continued to help us in our education. Mrs. Kuehn, Mr. Shore, and Mr. McIntosh were our teachers in junior high. Our junior high team, coached by Mr. McIntosh, won over half of its games. Analie Wiseman and Jane Miller were the yell leaders. On September 3, 1951, thirty-nine were enrolled in the freshman class. There were eighteen from Richland and one from Fairfield Township. Later one from Waterloo and one from Richland’ quit. Dolly Esselburn came from Garrett and joined our class for about a month. She then moved back to Garrett. The freshman class had a hayride in October followed by a weiner roast. Our chaperons were Mr. Leslie, Mr. Riggin, and Mr. Bowers. Everyone had a wonderful time. Eight freshmen joined the band; two of them were color-guards. Six members participated in chorus.

Again this year the Waterloo Lions Club served as host to the school at a Hallowe’en party. Following a parade led by the school band, this celebration was held in the gymnasium on October 31. There were many who came masked and prizes were given for originality and for the best costumes. Cider, dough- nuts, and popcorn were free for all to enjoy. Included in the evening’s enter- tainment was an amateur program, featuring school talent.

This year the Caesar Latin Club received its charter as a member of the Junior Classical League, a national organization of Latin clubs. Mem- bers of the new local chapter received their membership cards and JCL pins. Club membership was limited this year due to the fact that there was no freshman Latin class to be initiated. Membership in the club is restricted to students who are taking or have taken Latin. The year was climaxed by the annual Roman banquet. The following officers were elected for this year: President—Karen Bisel Vice-President—Janet Farrell Secretary—Margie Gerber Treasurer—Emogene Hilkey Parliamentarian—Leoma Vian Corresponding Secretary—Mary Lou Weirich Reporter—Bobbie Bowman Koenemann Farm Equipment, Auburn PAGE 35 PAGE 36 Future Farmers of America cae Vila David Gurtner, Max Riggins, Alan LaRowe Ned Shippy, Tom Simons, Roscoe Wiggins, Ronnie Feller The Waterloo Chapter of Future Farmers of America has concluded another successful year.

The Future Homemakers of America was organized in Waterloo in 1938. FHA is organized especially to further interest in home economics. To be eligible for membership they must have had some training in Home Economics. The motto of the club, “Toward New Horizons,” means learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. The Waterloo Chapter has 29 members. At Christmas time the girls made and sold caramels. Also, a box of clothing was sent to an orphanage in Japan. The chapter officers initiated the Ashley FHA, who started a new chapter this year. FHA Week was represented by placing posters in store windows and the members wore aprons to school. The girls assist- ed in presenting the style show. Some of the girls attended a district meeting at Gas City, October 6.

As a group, we Y-Teen girls this year have gone all out to make our club into a service organization. We sincerely hope that through such service projects and the guid- ance of our leaders we have raised the Christian ideals of our girls. Of our sixty-one members, twenty-six new girls joined this year and were greeted in a lovely candle-light initiation.

Mrs. Wayne Voss, Miss Gale Brown and Mrs. Robert Love also acted as group sponsors. We started the year off by taking a nice-sized group to the Y-Teen conference at Salem Center where we absorbed new ideas and made new friends. Among our own group we exchanged names for “mystery pals.” From last year we continued to take charge of stamp sales and joined the Hi-Y for Christmas caroling. For new service projects we sent girls to usher at various public activities such as the minstrel show and Christmas Pageant, shipped a large carton of chocolate bars to Germany, and took charge of selling the shirts and caps for the P. T. A. An art lesson was taught by Mrs. Voss in which we made flannel Easter dolls to give to children. The high school students and faculty were our guests at our traditional Easter service; Rev. A. L. Brandyberry was our speaker. Perhaps we feel that our most noted de was that of joining with the Hi-Y to present several chapel services before the student ody. Four teams were chosen for the purpose of sponsoring a “Let’s Go to Church” con- test among the girls. The losing teams planned a theatre party for the winners.

Our spiritual beliefs have been further heightened by devotions at our regular meet- ings—some were led by adults and some were directed by Y-Teen members. On Satur- day, March 22, we went to Fort Wayne to visit several churches. Our agenda included a tour of the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception, Trinity English Lutheran Church, Jew- ish Temple, and the First Mennonite Church. We have tried to live up to a code of ideals set up by a committee of our girls. Librarians The Student li- brarians are respon- sible for carrying on the routine duties of the library. They fille book cards, shelve books, and keep records on the circulation of maz- terials. Lois Lader- man acted as head librarian. In _ addi- tion to working in the high school li- brary, she assisted in the grade library. Seated: Willa Fulwider, Mrs. Reed, Aletha Loucks.

The Chorus was again assembled under the direction of Mrs. Wayne Voss. They met in activity period on Wednesday and Friday of each week with Monday set aside for Ensemble. This year private lessons were again offered by Mrs. Voss and nine students took advantage of receiving an extra credit. Eight members of the chorus entered solos and small ensembles in the district contest held at Fort Wayne. We find that we have fine musical talent among us as there were two superiors and six excellents. The superiors entered the state contest at In- dianapolis and there received one superior and one excellent. There are nine members who will graduate in May. We are sure that W.H.S. has a fine organization which will become better each year. ENSEMBLE This year the high school Ensemble was again organized and the places vacated by the graduates last year were filled. We have appeared at various churches and presented programs which not only included vocal numbers by the ensemble, but also solos and smaller groups taken from the ensemble. By visiting and presenting programs at many churches, we are learning about various manners in which worship services are carried on. We are very proud of the fact that we find the Methodist, Christian, and Evangelical United Brethren Churches represented in our organization. The Ensemble again this year played an important part in the annual Christmas pageant. We are looking forward to the Spring Festival which will include many different vocal numbers. This year we find that four members will graduate from the organization.

Girls’ Trio The Girls’ Trio proved again this year to be a very popular organization to the community. They have appeared on a number of occasions at different clubs and also added their talent a number of times at the high school chapel pro- grams. The Trio entered the District Solo and Ensemble Contest and received an ex- cellent rating, proving that we have a fine ensemble. Two of the members, Jeanette and Bobbie, entered a _ vocal duet at the same event and have ap peared also at special programs. This year none of the girls will grad. uate; therefore, they are looking forwar¢é to a greater success next year. Seated: Pianist Karen Bisel.

They all met together once a week and practiced. Then Mrs. Voss divided them into two quartettes according to the blend of their voices. One quartette has sung for chapel ser- vices, church pro- grams, and other pro- grams. Besides the enjoyment they have received from sing- ing together, they hope to improve more in another year and establish them- selves as a regular organization in the Vocal Music Depart- ment. Majorettes Bobbie Bowman, Helen Shultz Mary Lou Weirich, Phyllis Koon, Rhoada Rudolph, Leoma Vian The majorettes were a feature attraction at nearly every basketball game this year. The crowd was entertained between games with their intricate maneuvers and _ twirling. Much time and effort was spent on rehearsals of routines and showmanship. Fortunate- ly, none of our twirlers will be lost by graduation. The distinctive black velvet uniform trimmed in gold adds flash and a uniform appearance to the front of the marching band. In the State Twirling Contest at Auburn, October 13, Bobbie Bowman and Helen Shultz, and Phyllis Koon and Mary Lou Weirich placed in first division with twirling duets. The ensemble as a whole was placed in second. Waterloo School is proud of its majorettes. Drum Major Our capable drum major, Emogene Hilkey, led the band to victory on two occasions: the DeKalb County Fair where the band was awarded the Sweepstakes Trophy, Best Uni- formed Band, and Best Drum Major; and the State Marching Contest where the Band was awarded first division. This is Emogene’s first year as drum major, and she has done a fine piece of work with the Marching Band. Emogene Hilkey Brown's Grocery—Meat (Open Sunday and Evenings).

Not having had much practice together for the coming season, our team made many misplays which let several unearned runs in for Ashley. The score at the end of the sixth inning was 5-5. However, Ashley broke out with five big runs in their half of the seventh, while Waterloo scored but one run as Ashley came out on the long end of a 11-6 score. SEPTEMBER 7, 1951 The next game for the hustling Wildcats was with the pesky Albion Trojans. The score was tied at 4-4 for six innings. Waterloo had fewer errors this game; but when we did make one, it really hurt. In the top half of the seventh we got steamed up and scored two runs.
