pa WS ' S ' WnMi Administration One of the most important departments of our school is the administration board. It consists of the County Superintendent the Trustee, the Principal and his Assistant. Our school is very fortunate to have these men as their leaders. We are proud to call them our friends. Mr. Huntington, the County Superintendent, is a very capable man for this position. He has occupied this office for several years, which is proof he is well liked and has great ability. ® ur Trustee, Mr. Clark, is better known by the students and community. He has spent a great deal of time, working with our faculty to make our first-class commissioned high school even better. The one who is most closely associated with the students is our principal, Mr. Beck. He has helped the Seniors individually prepare for their future career. Many underclassmen have profited by his patience and guidance. We are proud of the man who has helped to make our class and school a great success. Added to this year’s administration board is an assistant principal. Mr. Shreve holds this position. He came highly recommended to our school, and has proven very efficient in guidance as well as teaching. 2 3 KATHRYN BROWN Latin, English, Librarian CARL DOHERTY Music REBECCA MARTIN Art, Physical Education Science, Health PHILLIP NEUERMAN Commerce SHIRLEY STROUP Home Economics, Biology GERALD RAINFORD F ootball Coach Mathematics EVELYN SHOEMAKER English Senior Story We started the second mile of our education when we entered as Freshmen in Wheatfield. We were all quite shy, but made new acquaintances as the year progressed. The most exciting event of our Freshman year was initiation. We were all interested in our new classes and studied hard that year. We had very competent leadership during our Freshman year: Betty Hershman, President, Wayne Griffey, Vice-President, Mary Jean Salyer, Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Salyer and Robert Williams, Senators. At last we moved out of the ranks of green Freshmen into the ranks of Sophomores , which gave us the opportunity to initiate the Freshmen of ‘51. We had two class parties and took part in the carnival. Our queen for the Sophomore year was Charlotte Current. Miss Fisher was our sponsor. We now approached the biggest years of our high school days. We were now considered upperclassmen. After choosing Shirley Theis as our President, the class set out to reach the goal set for the Junior year. We ordered our class rings and sweaters. The sweaters were gray and gold. What excitement when these finally arrived. We took part in the “Echo” contest and Delores Polczynski was chosen as our carnival queen. The first major undertaking during our Junior year was our play. “Kitty Kearney From Killarney” was chosen. Shirley Theis was given the feminine lead and playing opposite her was Robert Burke. The play was presented two nights. Immediately after the play our thoughts turned to the Junior-Senior prom On May ' 6th the Wheatfield gym was the scene of a spring garden. The girls were dressed in formats and the boys in business suits. Lila Walker was chosen by the faculty as Prom Queen. Our great Junior year ended when Betty Hershman and Clifford Theis led the Seniors of ‘49 to receive their diplomas graduation night. The day dawned,at last we were high and mighty Seniors. With Betty Hershman to guide us as our class President, the other class officers, the class sponsor, and the help of numer- ous committees, our year was a great success. This year for our play, we chose “Backwoods Romeo”. It was given two nights and proved to be outstanding. We received our Senior pictures in December. There was a rush between classes that day, everyone being sure to exchange pictures with their fellow classmates. We were kept so busy with annual and school paper work plus our studies, we hardly realized what a short time remained before graduation. ' Final arrangements were made for baccalaureate and commencement May 16th, 1950 at 8:30 P. M. each and every Senior marched into the gymnasium in cap and gown to receive their prize possession, their diploma. Once again another great Senior class passed from the doors of our high school, the graduates of 1950. 6 Last Will and Testament of Class of 1950 We, the class- of nineteen hundred and fifty, of the City of Wheatfield, County of Jasper, and state of Indiana, being of questionably sound minds and short memories, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us.

But I realized the time last night when my husband, two daughters and I attended the Star Theater here in New York City. In the newsreel the more prominent and famous people were interviewed. I was greatly surprised when many of my former classmates appeared. Mr. John Clark, the world’s most traveled man, interviewed these people and related some of his own experiences and acquaintances. Mr. William Hendrix, the famous symphony leader, told Mr. Clark of his future plans. He has made a great discovery of outstanding talent, which he will add to his orchestra, a singer, who has been studying in Paris and at the present has just started her career. This young lady is Miss Marlene Harrington, She was recently married to Daniel Darner, but will continue using her maiden name. Mr. Robert Burke, the cornet player who returned from Shanghai will join the orchestra next month after a brief rest in Miami, Florida. While attending a concert, Mr. Hendrix heard Mrs. Delmar Patterson playing the piano. After the concert he dined with Mrs. Patterson, whom he found to be his former classmate, Betty Hershman. She has decided to join this well known orchestra following her last concert this season. Mr. Bill Salyer asked Mr. Hendrix and his orchestra to entertain at his Diamond Club. He is famous for helping young talents fulfill their ambitions. Just as I was recovering from the shock of seeing these people from home, I realized it was only the beginning. Mrs. Glen Banister appeared on the screen making her appeal to the citizens of the United States to contribute more money to the Polio fund. She is the former Jennie Lee Hetrick, head nurse at the Sister Kenny Hospital. The persons to contribute the largest sum of money to the cause were Mr. and Mrs. James Hunter. Mrs. Hunter, the former Ada Lisk, recently inherited a great sum of money from her rich Aunt in Ireland. The great battle is on. That is the basketball Tourney. Coach Grover Powers and Coach Robert Williams with their nationally known teams will meet here to determine the basketball championship. Coach Williams gave in detail the progress of his team, but Coach Powers in few words showed great confidence in his team. The teams are evenly matched and promise an exciting game. Mr. Clark interviewed the youngest person to hold the office of Vice-Presidency. This brilliant young man is Mr. Gerald Meyers. His personal secretary is Miss Lila Meyers, who is interested only in her work and has decided definitely to remain single. Worland Brothers outstanding producer this year is Mr. William Pucka. His Academy Award winning picture ’’The Secret Passion” starred the new, fast rising actress. Miss Reita Richards. I saw the picture and it was truly a great piece of work. 13 The Brownstone Mansion owned by the multi-millionaire, Miss Jo Anne Nelson was the scene of a jewel robbery amounting to approximately a million dollars. The chief detective of Chicago, Mr. William Rutherford, was summoned to the scene. With the help of Captain Robert Dybcio of the police force, the thief was seized in his hotel room. Through efficient cooperation another great case was closed. Miss Peggy Nuss and Mr. Robert Jones, her high school sweetheart, were married last week. Miss Nuss is one of John Power ' s leading models and cover girls. . Mr. Clark met Mr. Max Risner and Mr. Clifford Theis in London. Fancy seeing two people he had known back in Wheatfield. These men have entered the battle of swimming the English Channel. They are both in good condition and the race should be very close. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Theis entertained Miss Joan Gulbransen at their country estate. Miss Gulbransen has completed her tour with the Hollywood lee Revue. She is the sensation of the year on skates. Mrs. Theis, better known in Wheatfield as Iona Leach, saw Miss Gulbransen’s great performance and recognized her as a former Wheatfield Senior. Miss Cecelia Moss, Hollywood’s most talkative reporter, was seen at the Lucky Four Club. She was wearing the latest hair style created by Miss Hazel Park, Worland Brothers ' well known hair stylist. When they met for an interview, Miss Park offered to design a new hair style for Miss Moss to compliment her personality. This was one offer she couldn ' t refuse. Now she is the talk of Hollywood. Mr. Raymond Caldwell and Mr. Robert Garling became famous practically overnight when their new song hit, “The Wondering Waltz’’ was sung over television last week. On Mr. John Clark’s return trip from London, he met Miss Mayola Salyer. She too had been visiting many of the European countries. They were exchanging experiences when the airline hostess appeared. To their amazement, she was Miss Betty June Williams, soon to be the wife of Mr. Felix Lovely, one of her flight pilots. Seeing these people brought back many memories of the days we spent in high school. Give my regards and best wishes to the faculty and students of Wheatfield High School. To you and all my friends I am Betty Kessinger (Mrs. Norbert Henrichs) 14 1 . Sittin pretty 5. Baby face i. B ashful 6 . Music ian 3. Farmer boy 7. Ain ' t she 4. W atchful 8. Ain ' t she 9.

At their first class meeting of the year the Juniors chose their loyal leaders as follows: Firman Walker, President, Melvin Zeiters, Vice- President, James Poisel, Treasurer, Raymond Lee Secretary, and Bernard Mueller and Dale Bailey, Senators. They also chose very capable play and prom committees. After getting a firm hold on their subjects and complimenting their teachers, (for their grades, maybe) the Juniors began thinking of the expenses they would have to meet. To curb these expenses they sold pop, candy, and coffee at the football and basketball games. They also were in charge of the concessions at the Kankakee Valley Tournament at which Wheatfield acted as host. Next came the carnival which the Juniors greatly anticipated. They came in third in the contest among the classes to see who could raise the most money. They chose as their popular girl nominee, Norma Jean Bricker and it was through her classmates help that she came in second in the queen’s contest. About the same time we had our annual “Echo” subscription drive. The over worked Juniors just couldn ' t make the grade it seems, as they came in fifth in this contest. But as the tradition goes they paid the price of this loss by giving a Christmas party for the winners. Then in December came that long awaited day--their rings arrived. One would think they had all received diamonds from the way they “ohed and oohed” over them for the first few days. They received their class sweaters, which are black with gold letters, when they were Sophomores. On April 11, the Juniors presented an assembly program for the high school classes. Everyone participated and enjoyed doing it. With the year drawing to an end the play “Tumblin Creek” a thrilling three act comedy was given. All the Juniors along with Mr. Beck, the sponsor, and the cast worked very hard to present thi s comedy. The climax of the ever exciting Junior year was reached when the Juniors were host to the Seniors at the Junior -Senior prom. Mr. Edward Shreve, assistant principal, guided this class through a very successful year. 17 18 Firman Walkei Melvin Zeiters Raymond Lee James Poisel Nettie Altman Sam Antonian Dale Bailey Mary Bowen Norma Bricker Sherman Clark Dick Dunn Jack Fischer Hank Ganzeveld Harris Hale Hobert ftelton Mary Hilton Bob Jones Heniy Kampenga Nora Miller Raymond Mueller Bernard Mueller J ante Neely Betty Pearce F red Ross Evalee Salyer Robert Slavens Betty Stepp Stanley Thoroman Deloies Van Vuien Ruth W illiams Jeannette Wicks Sam Zabrdac Sophomore Story The Sophomores started the year off by selecting very efficient leaders to guide them through their hard times. They are as follows: Franklin Whitaker, President, Tom Korniak, Vice-President, Christine Jensen, Secretary-Treasurer, and Ruth Walker and Wetzel Howard, Senators. They also chose the subjects they liked best, or could get the easiest, along with the required subjects of English, Biology, and physical education. They are very proud of the boys in their class who participated in the K. V. T. and all the other basketball and football games. So that they could be in style with the Juniors and Seniors, they ordered their class sweaters, which are grey with maroon. They received these in November along with grey and maroon checked caps. We must admit that they looked very cute, even though we didn’t have them ourselves. The carnival gave the Sophomores a new lift only to let them fall back again when they placed fourth in the interclass competition and their popular girl candi- date, Christine Jensen, placed fourth in the queen contest. But the Sophomores soon came to life and placed second in the annual “Echo” subscription contest. Thus they were treat- ed to a Christmas party, along with two other classes, by the three losing classes. This class had a very successful year from the social standpoint also. They had several parties which were all very well attended. And so the Sophomores close another year by looking forward to their Junior year which will be packed with many new activities and experiences. The class was sponsored by Mrs. Evelyn Shoemaker. 19 Franklin Whitaker Tom Kormak Christine Jensen Jeannette Allen Joe Arnett Beverly Brown J ames Brown E Hen C reech John F eleki Carma Garling Nellie Hilton Carol Hershman Dorothy Hershman Leroy Hershman Wetzel Howard Janice Howard Mary K.

The Seniors have also forgotten how frightened they were on that first day in W. H. S. four years ago. The F reshman class is always the largest for it is at this age that the state requires a full attendance in school. Miss Brown, the sponsor, nobly consented to help the Freshmen strive for success in this and their future years in W. H. S. It was also through Miss Brown ' s assistance that each Freshman prepared a program of subjects mainly English, algebra or mathematics, and biology. The F reshmen who are no different than the rest, trembled and shook constantly from the first of September until that day in October when they were officially initiated into W. H. S as “Greenies”. Each person dressed as some famous “character” and each gave an amusing demonstration before the upperclassmen in the afternoon. At their first class meeting of the year the Freshmen proved their ability to pick leaders by choosing Ronald Jones, President, Barbara Foust, Vice-President, Marlene Clark, Secre- tary, Paul Walker, Treasurer, and Joan Jensen and Barbara Burke, Senators, as their leaders. These hard working “Greenies showed their abilities as salesmen when they came in first in the annual “Echo contest at the beginning of the year. They came through with flying colors at the school carnival also, by being second of the classes to take in the most money. Backed by her loyal classmates Marlene Clark won the title of “Queen at the school carnival. The Freshmen have also made a showing in the sports section by having two of their members to be picked as “yell leaders” for the year. The boys have had several Freshman football and basketball games with very competitive schools, also. Several of the girls have joined the G. A. A. which makes this class a very athletic class. Around the first of January the Freshmen put on an assembly program for the school. It consisted of musical entertainment and a quiz contest. These busy-bodied students were so busy that they just couldn’t find time for any social meetings. But we are sure that they made up for this at basketball games and other such meet- ings. Through loyal services and hard work the class of 1953 have laid aside their title of “Greenies” for the future classes of W. H. S. 21 Ronald Jones Barbara Foust Mai lene C lark Paul Walker Carl Allen Eatcie Allen David Allseitz Richard Allseitz Sam Bowen Arlene Bultema Barbara Buike Mildred Clark Donald Corbin Richard Davis Esther F eleki Bob F enzel F rancene F reeman J anet Griffey June Holmes Sam Holmes Barbara Holliday Joan Jensen Marilyn Raster Maudlene Manns Bernadine Moss Elsie Molden Berdine Neely Beverly Pekech Wesley Pierson Sam Raic h Mary Russell J ames Selby Alida Slagcr J ames Snow Joan Stanton Batbara Whitaker Charles Walker Jurlene Wireman Myrtle Wireman 22 FIRST ROW: SECOND ROW: THIRD ROW: Eighth Grade Frank Jones, Joan Theis, June Sculley, Virginia Williams, Aurelia Plaga, Eva Farmer, Sonny Green, Jerry Grube.

Library Club The object of this club is to keep the books in the right order, help to make the library an interesting room by keeping the bulletin board decorated. The librarians have secret friends with whom they exchange birthday and Christmas gifts. They sponsored a drive to encourage more people to attend the adult library. They also acknowledged National Book Week by sponsoring a contest in which the contestants entered either a doll dressed like a character in their favorite book or a picture poster. Another project of the club was taking a poll in grades seven through twelve to find the most popular book in the library. Miss Brown is the sponsor of the Library Club.

The purpose of the senate is to settle the various problems that come up in any school or organization. Some of the foremost matters discussed by the senate were how to build up a better cheer- ing section, movies, assembly programs and various other problems. This year the senators with the help of their sponsor Mr. Beck decided that the movies which were given at intervals throughout the year were not of any real value to the students. In their place they decided it would be more beneficial if each class planned and presented an assembly program, at sometime during the year. This suggestion worked out nicely and the practice is going to be continued. The 1949-50 senate members are: Sitting Left to Right: Frank Jones, Ruth Walker, Jo Anne Nelson Secretary, Joan Jensen, Wetzel Howard, Bernard Mueller President, Mr Beck, Sponsor, Max Risner Vice-President, Dale Baily, Barbara Burke, Karol McFarland, Doyle Lee, Eva Farmer. Chorus There are twenty -five members in the chorus this year. These people have provided entertainment for various school activities. Some of their outstanding performances were the Armistice Day program, Thanksgiving program and the Christmas program. They entered a Vocal Ensemble Contest. The chorus is under the direction of Mr. Doherty. Chorus Members Are: Back Row Left to Right: Betty Kessinger, Barbara Foust, Hobert Hilton, Dick Dunn, Arlene Bultema, Delores Mahieu, Betty Pearce.

In 1948-49 they entered the District Band Contest at Herbon, Indiana. There they placed in first division. One week later found them in a bus heading for Auburn, Indiana to the State Contest, placing in second division in class D. In case you didn ' t notice there is something very majestic about the red uniforms, and when you put thirty students in them you really have an impressive sight. This year the band provided music for sports, Halloween Parade, and the Farm Bureau Barbecue. They took part in the Annual Christmas Program and the Jasper County Music F estival. The band is under the direction of Mr. Carl Doherty. The members are as follows: Back Row Left to Righ Ruth Williams, Ada Lisk, Bob Burke, Mr. Doherty, Marlene Clark, Iona Leach, Cheryn Minor, Iva Vanderjack, Betty Pearce, Shirley Seegers, Donald Corbin.

Arcus Staff Another year has rolled by and the second Arcus is on its way to press not without numerous sighs of relief. Many week nights found us stumbling up the stairs and dimly lit halls to end up in the echo room. We non-confirmed night-owls really began burning the schools electricity in great earnest. Truly “gems” of wisdom came forth from those literary sessions. Every piece of stray paper that had been bothering the few neat persons, along with the now dulled paper cutter, and the typewriter, which had seen its better days before being pounded upon by the expert fingers of the staff has been stuffed into the closet. Our photography editors proved themselves to be very clever as they tip-toed around corners to snap candid shots of unsuspecting students. After all the anxiety and headaches from worrying over write ups and deadlines, we can look back on many hours of hard work and realize how much we have gained by it. The Arcus work was done under the direction of Mrs. Shoemaker, whose tireless efforts were greatly appreciated by all. 36 p � Track The 1949 track team of Wheatfield High had due to the guidance and training of the coach and a very successful season. This was primarily of the willingness of the boys to cooperate with him in every way.

Cheerleaders The cheerleaders for 49-50 were chosen by the popular vote of the student body. l ' hey have done a fine job in backing the teams and in keeping the spirits of the student body at a high level. They have added many new yells to the list and through their leadership our school has a greatly improved cheering section. The yell leaders this year are: Left to Right: Marlene Clark and Joan Jensen. Junior High Basketball Team Wheatfield’s junior high basketball team has had a larger schedule this year than in any other previous year. They won six games and lost seven.

All of the sprained and broken ankles, aching muscles and bruises were, however, repaid in full by the victorious season. Among the mishaps was a broken ankle suffered by Grover Powers. As a result he was unable to play in any of the games. The first game was scheduled with DeMotte, who is Wheatfield’s favorite rival. The Devils won this game easily enough, the score being 28-14. In this game the winning team kept the game ball which was donated by the American Legion. The second game was played with Kentland, who was rated one of the best teams in the conference. The Devils were again victorious, topping Kentland’s score by twenty points. This game was played without Robert Williams who injured his ankle in the DeMotte game. On September 23, the Devils played Mt. Ayr. The score was 50-13. This was the third successive victory. The weather being ideal for football, the Devils next encountered Morocco whom they de- feated by sixteen points. This was a moral victory for the Devils because it showed they were possible title contenders. The fifth game was a non -conference game played on the home field with Mt. Ayr. The Devils defeated them for the second time this season with a score of 34-19. The last game of the season the Devils again played DeMotte. They won, surpassing the Indians’ score by thirteen points. This victory proclaimed the Red Devils the undefeated champs of the Kankakee Valley Conference. The boys were all very happy when they received the trophy and they were further rewarded by two dinners given in their honor. One dinner was given by Coach Rainford and Mr. Williams and the second by the Wheatfield Lions Club. At the end of the season the Devils selected Robert Williams as captain of the 1949 football squad. Letter winners for the season were: Robert Williams, Clifford Theis, Robert Burke, Grover Powers, Richard Dunn, Bob Jones, Bernard Muellar, Fred Ross, Firman Walker, Henry Ganzeveld and Archie Snyder. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Wheatfield 28 26 50 24 34 Opponents DeMotte 14 Kentland g Mt. Ayr 13 Morocco g Mt. Ayr 19 40 41 Basketball Season The ‘49-50 basketball team had quite a successful season. The Devils started off with a “bang ' by defeating their first five opponets in succession. They were DeMotte, Mt. Ayr, Medaryville, Fair Oaks and Remington. Then with “lady luck seemingly against the Devils they lost to Boone Grove and Morgan. This year the Devils were invited to participate in the four -way Holiday which they anxiously accepted. They drew Westville as their opponent and lost their third successive game. So that the losing team would not be left out entirely, a consolation game was played. This time with San Pierre as their opponents the Devils came out on top. The K. V. T. came next with the first game being played against Fair Oaks. The Devils won and were then scheduled to play Wolcott, who incidentally have never been in the K. V. T. before. The Devils were the victors in this game and this left only Remington standing between the team and the K. V. T. trophy. In this final game the Devils defeated Remington by four points to become the K. V. T. champions. After the excitement of the tourney the team settled back to the regular schedule of games. They got off to a bad start by losing to Kouts in a very exciting overtime game. Following the Kouts game the Devils again got back on the track by winning the eight remaining games. All in all, the Devils had a very good season with thirteen victories over three defeats, not including the tourneys. On February 8, the boys were guests of honor at a dinner given for them by Coach Williams. Next year Coach will have several experienced boys to begin the‘50 ‘51 season.
