Holic iy ees ROSEBUD) Volume XL Edited by The Senior Class £255 Page 1 Dedication We, the Class of 1953, wish to dedicate this book, The Rosebud, to all who have made our education possible: our parents, guardians, teachers, the administration, and school board. Theme The years of our lives spent in school are similar to a rose; it is beautiful, pure, and colorful. A rose does not grow in a day, then suddenly burst forth in all its beauty. A rose seedling is started in the rich, moist soil like many other plants; and accord- ing to the laws of God with warm sunshine, a refreshing rain, and proper cultivation by the gardener it will make a very rapid growth. But it will never become a beautiful rose in this state. Its course of life will have to be changed and it will need some definite training. So on this healthy root of the rose bush is grafted a scion of an improved variety. This is the beginning of the growth of a true variety of rose. It must be nursed along by cul- tivation and sunshine with the right amount of moisture and food. After about four years of productive cultivation and protection from diseases and insects it reaches full maturity, and the magnanimous buds burst forth displaying a colorful array of beauty and fragrance, a wonderful creation of God making the world a better and more beauti- ful place in which to live. Children start their priceless, innocent, pure lives on God’s earth; and they, too, need-loving, tender care during their first delicate years of existence. Like rose seedlings they are forming the foundation for a mature life. As they reach school age they too need special cultivation, help, and training. At first their mental growth is rather slow , but it is important that at this age certain truths and principles become deep rooted. As the eight years in the grades go by, a great change has taken place in the hab- its, customs, and characters of the boys and girls. Yes, they are growing up; but they are not yet ready to bloom forth and take their places in the world, no more than are seedling roses able to bear large, beautiful flowers. As roses must be grafted, boys and girls on entering high school must be guided into more definite paths and channels in preparation for that fuller, richer, more abundant life. So freshmen choose certain subjects with certain course and objectives in mind; now more than ever before the pupils need more cultivation, guiding, and counsel- ing. To enrich their lives an enriched curriculum is provided with band and vocal train- ing, wholesome athletics, and enlightening clubs. If they fall out of school before grad- uation from high school, they are deprived of much training and instruction that are so essential for a well rounded life. As the years go by, they increase in stature, know- ledge, and strength of character. By graduation time they leave the secondary school and burst forth into adult life taking their place among men to add beauty, color, and peace to the lives of people and make this world a better place in which to live.

In other words they provide the garden in which the roses grow. This is the third term for Glenn Hubartt, Sr., trustee of Grant Township, as secretary of the School Board. This is the second term for William Malle on the School Board. He serves as treasurer. Donald Myers has served five years as president of the School Board. We want to thank the members of the Board of Education for their help not only in making our annual a success but for making our four years at W. H. S. most pleasant with an enriched curriculum. With you we have enjoyed our class plays and athletic events. Our lives have been enhanced by the band, chorus, and other musical activities. Our clubs have given us valuable training for adult life. We also have appreciated the planning and guidance of the school administration and the friendly cooperation of the faculty and fellow students. Words can never express our appreciation to the School Board and School Administration for the privilege of the Senior Trip that we had hoped for and planned for four years. This educational trip by train proved to be far above our highest anticipations. We are forever grateful to our parents for their encouragement, counseling, and sacrifices throughout our high school career. It is our prayer that the friendly cooperation in the school pre- vails for the future and that the underclassmen will have even more privileges and greater opportunities for learning. We have faith in your making this school a bigger and better institution.

It has taken much work, effort, and courage on the part of the young men and women of the senior class. On the other hand, the School Board has made our high school possible. The ad- ministration, or the naturalists, have worked out a course of study in compliance with the requirements of the State Board of Education. The teachers, the really true scien- tists and gardeners, have guided, trained, and developed our faculties and talents until we are now ready to graduate from high school and to proceed forth to make the world a more beautiful and better place in which to live.

Willie Fulwider, Larry’s girl, While square-dancing just loves to whirl; She watches and sighs at each ballgame; Mrs. Oster will be her name. Phyllis Henderson, nickname Phil, She hates to take a horse sized pill; Accomplished much her senior year, Having dates with nothing to fear. Emogene Hilkey, drum-majorette, Cheered at ballgames with lots of pep; Clerk-typist she’ll be when out of school Abiding by each exact typing rule. Bob Hissong, a basketball star, Would rather play ball than study by far; He lives in Corunna, his old home town; His future, he says, is to settle down. Jim Knott, to us known as Dizzy, Drives his car and thinks he’s busy; We hear the Air Force is his aim; “Flying D iz” will be his name. Phyllis Koon, baton mistress, Works at Dunns’ with nary a fuss; And her Johnny plans to wait Until from school she'll graduate. Doris Leins, tiny and neat, As a true pal she can’t be beat; She plans greatly to increase her knowledge And study nursing in some college. Bessie Mergy, our class blonde, Of skating and boys she’s very fond; POEM In the band she plays clarinet, And on the air likes Smiley Burnette. Larry Oster, known as Spike, Wears bright socks of red and white; Most of all enjoys chem class And studies on the nuclei mass. Jeanette Owen, our song bird, Sings well and can be heard; Stan will wait a year or two Until her office work is through. Eva Powers, the tall lass, First engaged in all our class; As Mrs. Townsend in our play Stomped around for a month and a day. Bev Reinhart, Saturday night shopper, With Ned was once stopped by a copper; Live close enough, no need for letters; At ballgames now they wear twin sweaters. John Rhoadarmer, bass singer, Drives a Buick that’s really a dinger; Plans to enter I.U. and study dentistry; Hopes to teach Mr. Buesking some new chemistry. Nellie Rudolph, a marvelous cook, Prepares delicious things without a book; We haven’t heard just what she'll do When her high school days are through. Eugene Rynearson, Stub for short, In government class knew every court; He bought a new car the first of the year; To him it is his favorite dear. Tommy Simons, neatly dressed, Of all sports basketball’s best; When not in school, he likes to farm And to Punky Drerup do no harm. Lusina Smith, Lucy to all, Swoons over the leaves every fall; Enjoys life from the bottom to top And dislikes things which turn up a flop. Butch Tribbett, our big sleepy head, In bookkeeping wishes he were dead; When with Marge he’s full of pep And at the station took many a step. Page 17 — CLASS POEM — continued Leoma Vian, a country gal, Went skating and found many a pal; Her desire is a nice long life And hopes to become a farmer’s wife. Mary Weirich, editor-in-chief, Problems with the annual caused her grief; She gives Gene a lot of her time And for the future saves every dime. Maxine White, a banker’s girl, Hair is dark and always in curl; It’s been said she’ll marry soon, Maybe perhaps in the month of June. Nila Witt, a fickle gal, To Lucy Smith, a perfect pal; And in the future — a man on her hook; For him she’ll be a perfect cook. Donna Wolford, our short gal, To Emogene Hilkey an expressive pal; Won a contest her junior year; When she needs help, her grandma’s near. Bob McNall, very fast driver, Wishes his grades were a little higher; Says he’ll never use bookkeeping; His future, I guess will be sleeping. Ann Kuykendall is very quiet — Two brothers, three sisters, never a riot. From Michigan came she her senior year; With paint brush in hand she has naught to fear. Janet Marie Myers, a fiance, Is waiting now for that special day When Max and she will have their new home; I know, you see; I wrote this poem. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Nineteen forty-one was a big year for this world. It was the beginning of World War II and the begin- ning of an education for the Class of 53. That was twelve long years ago, but many remembrances come back to us; our first grade shyness ,the mysteries of up-stairs and the laboratory, and the cold days when we would sit by the radiators for warmth. The grades flew by and finally in September of 1949 we found ourselves in high school. Our class consisted of forty members, and we were quite ac- tive. Mr. Leslie was our freshman advisor. During our sophomore year we developed our salesmanship ability by selling Christmas cards. We paraded through the halls wearing our newly pur- chased blue and white class sweaters. Mr. Riggins was our sponsor, and Mrs. Reed acted as co-sponsor. We entered the junior class with much confi- dence. Mr. Buesking ,our advisor, helped us out a lot. Several new things were added to our list of activities. We managed the concession stand at all the ballgames and at noons. Our play, ‘Aunt Suzie Shoots the This page sponsored by Mast’s Dry Groods Store, Waterloo Page 18 Works,” was one of the best seen in Waterloo in many years. All profits from these activities were put away for our senior trip. How proud we were the day we received our class rings! This is our senior year. It has been a happy and eventful year. We've had several drives and bake sales. Again our ability in salesmanship was called upon for our magazine sales. Also we again sponsored a very successful play, “The Dizzy Dillions.” Our. train trip to Washington, D. C., and New York City was more than we had anticipated and added many things to our “Catalogue of Remembrances.” All of our days at Waterloo High School will long be remembered by the members of the Class of Sas Our class officers are: Sponsor Aas he ee ee Robert Dove Presiden the an. eM ileu(. ty Ce Karen Bisel Bo oe en od Aaron Tribbett DECEPCArY tte.

While on this trip I came in contact with or was informed of all the members of our Class of 1953. As I was leaving Waterloo’s Municipal Airport, I learned that the pilot of the jet passenger plane was Eugene Rynearson and Bessie Mergy was the stew- ardess. While in Detroit I decided to go to a movie star- ing Maxine (White) LaMour. I remembered that Butch Tribbett was owner of several large theatres in Detroit, so I called on him. He told me about Jim Knott’s being personal secretary to the President of the United States. Also, Butch said that Doris Leins had recently been promoted to the position of Head Nurse at the Mayo Clinic. From Detroit I went to New York City. I rec- ognized the elevator operator in the Empire State Building as Jack Cobbs. I learned from Jack that Eva (Powers) Morlin struck oil on her land. The second night in New York I attended a piano con- cert given by Karen Bisel. While I was in Washington, D.C., I visited Nila Witt, who is employed by the United States Mint. Both of us were surprised by the headlines of the evening paper. They stated that F.B.I. agent Tom Simons had arrested two criminals and closed an important case. The reporter of the big scoop was none other than Bob McNall. Next I went to Miami, Florida. I visited Nellie (Rudolph) Jones, who owns the famous Orange Grove Restaurant. Nellie said she buys all of her oranges from Leoma (Vian) Bender, who owns a large fruit farm in California. The restaurant was recently decorated by Wilint Dec, the interior dec- orator who redid the White House. Of course, we knew her as Willa Fulwider. I also learned from Nel- lie that Phyllis Henderson has done wonders as a mis- sionary in Africa. From Miami I went to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. There I met John Rhoadarmer. He said that he is a veterinarian at Denver, Colorado. John informed me that Jeannette (Owen) Williams just made her first Columbia recording. He showed me a book of poems by Janet Warstler. You'll remember her as Janet Myers. While I was in Los Angeles, I purchased an origi- nal painting of Queen Elizabeth by Ann Kuykendall. I arrived home in time to hear Lusina Smith accept the position as first lady governor of Indiana. I cer- tainly was proud to hear that Bob Hissong has coached his Wildcats to the State Championship for the second time. I read in the paper where Mayor Larry Oster has declared Corunna a city. Also, I read that Donna Vee Wolford has accepted a position as English teacher in Auburn. This morning I talked to Beverly (Reinhart) Shippy—she runs that large chicken farm outside of town—and she said that Phyllis (Koon) Warner is in Alaska. The Air Force has made Mr. Warner Commander-in-Chief of all Air Force operations there. T’ll see you next week at club.

Now we are struggling for existence in the garden that is the high school. There are many hardships and difficulties to be over- come, but we have the tender care and guidance of the administration and teachers who serve as naturalists and gardeners of our rose garden.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of 54 entered their junior year with thirty-four students. Marilyn Bu- chanan, Lulu Belle Christlieb, Glen Hartman, Jack Johnston, Janice Musser, and Howard Powers left us during the school year. On our hayride party in October we left from the school on two hay wagons and ended up at an old haunted house. We played games inside the house and enjoyed a wiener roast outside. We are proud to have Bobbie Bowman and Jim Simons as varsity cheer leaders. Four of our boys are on the first team in basketball, and three are on the second team. Thirteen members participate in chorus; ten are members of the band. Other activities in which we engage are Caesar Latin Club, Y-Teens, Hi-Y, F.H.A. and F.F.A. We received our class rings, the prized possessions of all, in November. Our Junior class operated the concession stand, and all profits made from this will be put with our other funds to be used for our Senior trip. Mr. Buesking, our class spon- sor, has guided us through a very successful year.

At the beginning of our sophomore year there were thirty-five pupils enrolled in our class. Sonia Tarny, June Kuykendall, and Roston Hall were new members of our class this year; and in the early part of December Dale Ackerman, who had missed two years of school due to illness, entered our class. All sophomores are taking English; thirty students are taking biology and general business, thirteen girls are taking home economics, seven boys are enrolled in agriculture, twelve attend geometry class, six are studying Latin, and four are in junior history. In both semesters combined there were thirty-three students taking driver’s training. Nine participated in chorus and band, eight in Y-Teens and Hi-Y; six in F. oblate and seven in F. F. A. On September 18 we had our first class party. Everyone had a wonderful time. September 29 we ordered our class sweaters, which are cardinal red with white letters. The tenth of October was the starting of the sale of Christmas cards. Everyone participated, October 28 we received our sweaters; for three or four days all anyone saw were cardinal sweaters. In December we exchanged names for Christmas and everyone received nice gifts. This year has been full of many wonderful activities. Everyone is looking forward to being a “Jolly Junior” next year.

Something more is needed — warm sunshine, gentle rain, and nourishing food. Thus in building good moral characters for well-rounded lives an enriched curriculum is necessary. This is provided by extra-curricular activities; namely, the three major sports, band, vocal music, clubs, and library science. ; Page 31 Y-TEENS Front row: Eva Powers, Willa Fulwider, Emogene Hilkey, Phyllis Koon, Donna Vee Wolford, Bessie Mergy, Nila Witt, Mary.

The Y-Teens this year had fifty members after the initiation of the new members who were Ruth Ann Deetz, Dorothy Koon, Jeanette Lockwood, Pat Martens, Jane Miller, Joan Surfus, and Analie Wiseman. Mrs. Elmer Deetz and Mrs. Vernon Wiseman were elected as new Y-Teen Mothers. Phyllis Weicht and Margie Kelley were asked to serve as “big sisters.” Mrs. Robert Love became our faculty sponsor. Our first project of the year was selling gold pencils imprinted in black with the basketball schedule. They were sold at basketball games and during the morning ac- tivity periods. This project proved to be very successful financially. At Christmas we sent several boxes full of chocolates to Germany, and we received a very appreciative letter back from the group who had received them. The Thursday evening before Chrisi- mas we joined with the Hi-Y in going caroling. After tramping over most of the streets of Waterloo, we returned with red cheeks and frozen toes to a delicious snack prepared by the Y-Teen Mothers. The Y-Teens and Hi-Y also sponsored two chapel services during the year, one at Thanksgiving and the other following Christmas vacation. On January 29 we started our savings stamps booth. The chairman of this project was Laura Gratz, who did an excellent job in arranging for girls to sell the stamps and in keeping the books on the progress of the sale. Members of the club took turns selling these stamps each Thursday noon. Programs for the year included a Christmas story told to us by Mrs. Mearle Bisel, an This page sponsored by Auburn Radio and TV, Auburn Page 32 | Y-TEEN OFFICERS AND SPONSORS at 2 Tf | Seated: Jeanette Owen, Doris Leins, Lusina Smith, Karen Bisel, Janet Farrell, Leoma Vian. | Standing: Phyllis Weicht, Mrs. Wolfgang, Mrs. Deetz, Mrs. Voss, Mrs. Love. interesting religious film lent us by Rev.

The Waterloo Hi-Y club helped sponsor several worthwhile projects this year. One was participation in Christmas singing; another was co-sponsorship of several chapel services. The club is in the midst of a complete reorganization, and that has limited its activities somewhat. The purpose of the Hi-Y club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. All boys who are members of the Hi-Y are expected to attend the church of their choice regularly and to keep themselves constantly aware of their Christian respon- sibilities. Some of the members of the Hi-Y are in a church chorus, while others are active in other types of church work.

The Caesar Latin Club,-a chapter of the Junior Classical League of the United States, started its meetings this year with an enrollment of 28 including the new mem- bers from the freshmen Latin class. Membership in the club is restricted to those stu- dents who have taken or are taking Latin. Our program committee planned some very interesting meetings. These included a scene from Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” an original play about Nero by Demaris McDougall, and a movie. The programs were designed to further our knowledge of famous Romans. Initiation was held in the Gymnasium on November 6. Since the freshmen were exhausted after the strenuous activities of initiation, we livened them up with delicious refreshments. The big event of the year was the Roman banquet held on April 9 and planned by the first year Latin class under the guidance of our sponsor, Mrs. Love. We were enter- tained on this occasion by a series of “living statues” representing various scenes from classical mythology.

In November, 1948, the Future Homemakers of America was organized in Waterloo. The first year there were only 18 members. That enrollment has increased to 49 this year. The purpose of the organization is “learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow.” This is expressed in our motto, ‘““Toward New Horizons.” JUNIOR HIGH COOKS Susan Buss, Sharon Smith, Julia Ann Pontius, Betty Werner, Judith Tarney, Ruth Ann Dunn, Rebecca Stuller, Ann Harris, Janice Med- sker.

The year’s activities were highlighted by our three day trip to Chicago where we visited Swift and Company, Producers Commission Association, Chicago Board of Trade, and Museum of Science and Industry. While we were there, we also saw the Cubs play the Dodgers at Wrigley Field. Another activity of great interest to us is our annual Father and Son Banquet. This year we awarded honorary degrees to Austin Feller and Ernest Wallace for the help they have given us. A medal was presented to John D. Gurtner, who had been selected as the Chapter’s Star Farmer. Jack D. Wallace received a plaque for being named Star Greenhand. Another activity which has aroused much interest is the maple camp we opened in Fairfield Township on the farm of Enno Wallace. As of now we know that the pro- duction of maple syrup is not an easy task, but we think the undertaking of this project reflects the chapter’s spirit of cooperation which is essential in all organizations, Other activities of the year were as follows: Planting nine acres of oats. Representation at National Convention. Planting nine acres of wheat. Chapter Pest Contest. Officers’ attendance at District Officers’ Training School. Chapter representation at District Contest. Sale of Vitality Garden Seeds Chapter representation at District Banquet.

Besides summer concerts at other towns and our own town hall and marching on Memor- ial Day at North Webster, we enjoyed a great day at the Conn factory in Elkhart, Indiana. In the fall we marched at the Bluffton Street Fair, took first place at the State Contest, and for the fourth consecutive year won Sweepstakes at the DeKalb County Fair, In the shuffle that occurs every year as a result of graduation the cornet section will be most heavily hit. We will lose Emogene Hilkey, our top rating drum majorette and first chair saxophone player. Phyllis Koon and Leoma Vian, two of our high step- ping majorettes, are also leaving us. Phyllis is our only baritone sax player and Leoma is second chair cornet. Others leaving the concert section are Janet Myers, Lusina Smith, Jim Knott,°and Mary Lou Weirich. Still others who will be leaving the band are | Donna Wolford, bass clarinet player; Bessie Mergy, a first chair clarinet player; Bob MeNall, trombone player; Karen Bisel and Nila Witt, two of our first chair flute players. In the State Solo and Ensemble Cor test at North Side High School at Fort Wayne, Febbruary 9, there were 13 pupils contesting from our school band department. We received 6 superior ratings, 3 excellent ratings, and 1 good rating. This year the B.P.A. sponsored a Band Banquet for the members of the Band for wnining at State Contest and for our good work through the year. We had a Band skating party April 13, which will be remembered by all. The Spring Festival, May 3, which took the place of the usual contest, included such numbers as “Tea for Two,” “Stouthearted Men,” the finale from the ‘New World Symphony,” and Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.” At the end of the first semester we had the misfortune of losing our band director, Mr. Harold Long. Mr. Long had been building and guiding the band for nearly eight years. During his leadership the band had acquired twenty trophies: three first, six sec- onds, three best Drum Majorettes, one Second Drum Majorette, and three Best Uni- formed, and five DeKalb County Sweepstakes plus numerous plackets. All members joined in expressing their thanks and appreciation for the excellent work Mr. Long had done for the Band. Beginning the second semester, Mr. Robert Workman, a graduate of Indiana University, took over the job of director. We have been working mostly on concert | music for the various performances throughout the spring. SPEECH CLASS The photographer found the speech class under the instruction of Mr. Harold Long very much interested in debating. They also gave the play, “Out on a Limb,” to raise money for the Fire Depart- ment. The play was directed by Mr. Robert Workman. a Page 46 Page 47 BASEBALL Standing: Murven Tuttle, John Gurtner, DeWayne Schlosser, Bob Hissong, Tom Simons, Carl Feller.

Carl Feller Our baseball season proved to be quite successful this year after a rather slow opening. We had many new boys with whom to fill the positions left by last year’s seniors; and since our first ball game was on the second day of school, practice in var- ious positions was impossible. As the season progressed, we grew stronger; and by the time the last game arrived we were in good form only to find the season ending. Our season record was three wins and five losses.

Waterloo Wildcats The Wildcats drew the Butler Windmills as their opponents in the Sectional Tournament this year. The two teams played on Wed- nesday afternoon at 2:30 with the Windmills winning by a large margin, 63 to 42. The Butler team played their very best through- out the entire ballgame. The first quarter was very slow with both teams missing many easy shots. The Windmills managed to hold a two point lead at the close of the quarter, 12 to 10. During the second quarter Butler warmed up and was leading the Wildcats by a score of 28 to 20 as the half ended. After the intermission Waterloo still couldn’t get going and the Butler team was red-hot as they held a 44 to 33 lead at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter the Wildcats finally warmed up a little but they were too far behind to catch the Windmills. The entire team fought hard until the final gun sounded ending the ball game. Butler advanced in the tournament to the night game where they played the St. Joe Tigers, while the Waterloo Wildcats dropped from the tournament ending their season. Hissong got 20 points for high-scoring honors.

Mrs. Mildred Thompson started us but resigned when her husband came home from the service. Mrs. Florabelle Kuehn then took ovevr. In our second year Mrs. Margaret Ann McIntosh taught us. We remember well the “Little Brownies” we studied. Some of the class participated in the Christmas pro- gram as wooden soldiers and toy dolls. Miss Marguerite Hamman helped us through the third grade where we began our study of geography. Help! We enrolled in the fourth grade under Miss Cleo Dirrim. There we started having physical education under the direction of Mr. Gurtner. In our fifth year Mrs. Kuehn taught us the first two months; but when Mrs. Kuehn became seriously ill, Mrs. McIntosh had to take over. We participated in the Christmas pageant. Many of us missed school that year because of the measles epidemic. Mr. Bruce Gurtner instructed us during our sixth year. Our main subjects were geography and arithmetic. Thirty-six pupils appeared in the seventh grade room at the beginning of the year with Mr. John Shore as our home room teacher. The junior high boys are always ready for a quick game of baseball.

Committees were formed and plans were made to conduct our classroom the American way. We called our room “Little America.” On election day we voted. There were two parties known as the ‘‘Stars’’ and the “Stripes”. Children from the room ran for president, vice presi- dent, senator, governor, and county judge. The election was conducted as though it were a real election. In February mail bags were placed in the room and all the children distributed the mail for Valentine’s Day. An extensive study of the Indians and pioneers was conducted in order to acquaint the children with their country. Spelling, our big problem, was given special attention. Attendance was good even though there was much sickness in the community. Every- one’s birthday was celebrated by a big birthday party on May Day.

Mr. Walter Deubener of Lake George, Minnesota, made possible a matinee party at our local theatre. Next came our Valentine party combined with a surprise birthday party for the teacher given by the children and parents. A number of parents manifested their interest this year by visiting and observing the class work.

The children were thrilled by the Halloween party given by the Lions Club in the gym. Sonja Arnott from Butler entered our room on December 1. We were busy in December decorating our room and exchanging names for our first big Christmas party. Some of the mothers sent gifts of candy and cookies for us to enjoy. All the children enjoyed seeing the Robin Hood show at the local theater. We started the new year with a new pupil. Richard Fitch came from the East Richland school. In February we said good-bye to Joyce Ann Walton, who moved to Florida. We had a big time at our Valentine party. Everyone received many Valentines. Mrs. June Davis, our guest, drew a beautiful pic- ture with chalk for us. We also welcomed Terry Capehart from Oklahoma to our group in February. Quite a few boys and girls were ill with flu and mumps during the winter months. We welcomed spring with gay decorations and plans for an Easterparty. Time flew by, and soon the first year was over.

The DeKalb County Junior High Basketball Tournament was held at Waterloo this year with Ashley, Auburn, Butler, Fairfield, Garrett, and Waterloo participating. Water- loo drew Ashley, who had beaten us twice, for their first game. The old saying that it is difficult to beat the same team three times held true, because our team played one of their best games of the season and won over Ashley by a score of 42 to 38. This gave us the right to play Garrett in the semi-finals; and after playing a good game, Garrett defeated us 32 to 27. Auburn finally won the tournament by defeating Garrett. ATHLETIC SUMMER PROGRAM During the summer months which lie ahead there will be a complete summer recre- ation program. This program is under the supervision of the school along with the active sponsorship of the W.C.A.A., Lions club, and many business men. The program will include all boys and girls from the third grade through the high school. Activities will be many and varied depending upon the interests of those partici- pating. This program is being inaugurated this summer to help provide an educational and worthy use of leisure time for our young citizens. The benefits received from par- ticipating in these summer sport activities should be of great value to those who wish to become future high school athletes. CUSTODIANS SIMON KOHL Mr. Kohl has been a janitor of the school for twelve years. He also drives a school bus. HERMAN DIEDERICH Mr. Diederich has been a janitor of the school for two years. Together these two men have done ef- ficiently a great job—keeping the school building in excellent condition.

This year the sixth grade boys took over the w ork of the Safety Patrol, and with the excellent assist- ance of Mr. Knott they have been performing a very valuable service for the pupils of our school. The new raincoats, which were furnished by the P.-T.A., have been very useful. John Piatek was elected saftey patrol captain and each boy who completed a satisfactory year’s service received a merit badge.
