962 circus Wheat field High School Wheatf ield, Jndiam Published by the 1962 Arcus Staff Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away. Meditations IV, 43 Marcus Aurelius Meet Our Campus Some lucky seniors get driving permits and skip the bus ride. For the last time, get out of bed! ” warns mothers as a Wheatfield student slowly gets out of bed wishing it were a Saturday instead of a school, day. While this student is just arising, others are finishing farm chores, making beds, or preparing breakfast before heading for school. Cars, buses, bicycles, and scooters deliver students to the doors of WHS. Some unfortunate ones still have to use that old-fashioned method of transportation- -walking. At school, noisy groups gather in the study hall to talk over the latest gossip, and couples get reacquainted after being separated sixteen long hours. Ho Hum! Senior Alice Stalbaum awakens. Open the door, Omar. Time for school Type that letter, Juniors. Happy day ! ! ! School Bus Arrives. ■El m Bomb Shelter Debate What ' s cooking? What’s the Decision? English, social studies, home ec. , agriculture, commercial courses, science, and math all play an important part in our future. From the science and math classes will come our future space age scientists, from our future farmers and home makers, the commercial and English classes will help make us public speakers, secretaries, typists, and bookkeepers. Easy boys! That heart will break! What’s the latest? Don’t just stand there! Help me girls! What’s new with the Devils? 12:34 Seats! Silence! Study! Echoes in the hall ! Don ' t you dare ! What ' s new on the Senior bulletin board? Students wait impatiently for the bell or the sound of a teachers ' voice saying, Excused for lunch : the thunder of feet often leaves them crestfallen, for they realize they won ' t be the first in line. Some eat at the School House Inn, uptown, or at home. After lunch there are many scenes of activity: girls primp in the rest room; students go uptown; and in nice weather groups gather on the front lawn or in their cars. Some do last minute studying. In the halls students wait outside classrooms or hustle all directions, but everyone is engaged in that universal pastime -talking. Dig that snake dance. Campus snack bar. These young boys took time off to become land judging champs. Laughter, happy talk, and animated faces indicate that school is out when the final bell rings at 3:35. The doors release a flow of students in all directions; time is now theirs. Some head for part-time jobs, uptown, farms. Others relax at the School House Inn or home. Still others use spare time for hobbies, which include reading, music, cars, and collecting coins or stuffed animals. Crowning of the Homecoming Queen anticipated by student body.

CLASS OFFICERS Phillip Foster Vice President Nick Munning President Irene Tillema Treasurer Leta Rae Hershman . . . Secretary Class History In 1958 we entered Wheatfield High School as Freshmen with 83 members. Our class was made up of pupils that came from Kniman, Newland, Gilliam, DeMotte Christian School, and graduating members of the eighth grade of Wheatfield. With Mr. Wells as our sponsor, we elected the following officers: President, Tom Stone; Vice President, Em- ily Harris; Secretary, Nancy Klemz; Treasurer, Marilyn Myers; and Senators, Henry Dahm and Carol Jones. At the end of the year only 64 of us remained to become Sophomores. In our sophomore year we were guided by Mr. Johanning as our sponsor. Our officers for the year were as follows: Henry Dahm, President; Nick Munning, Vice President; Phil- lip Foster, Secretary and Treasurer. Our Senators were Bob Misch and Nancy Klemz. We chose our class sweaters at the end of the year. They were charcoal gray with red trim and white accessories. Our Junior year was a very exciting one. We chose the following officers: President, Nancy Klemz; Secretary, Nick Munning; Treasurer, Phillip Foster. The Senators we chose to represent us in the Student Council were Bob Misch and Marilyn Myers. Mr. Sadler was our sponsor. Under the direction of Mr. Boiler we produced our class play entitled The Boardinghouse Reach.” The play was a comedy depicting the disorder that arises when 13 year old Wilbur Maxwell turns the family home into a boardinghouse. Another highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. The Prom was held in the old gym, with the ban- quet in the cafeteria. The theme of the prom was Marineland, and the gym was deco- rated as an underwater scene. We had chosen our class rings at the beginning of the year, and we received them several months later. We were very proud of them. We entered our last year of high school with 47 students. Under the supervision of Miss Brown, we elected the following officers: President, Nick Munning; Vice President, Phillip Foster; Secretary, Leta Rae H ershman; Treasurer, Irene Tillema; Senators, Bob Misch and Joyce Noble. We gave our Senior play entitled Professor, How Could You? under the direction of Mr. Walden. The play was a comedy involving a woman-shy professor and three marriage -minded females. Senior pictures were taken, and received with enthusiasm. Committees were organized to plan the details necessary for graduation. As we look back on our years at Wheatfield High School, we realize that we will never forget the wonderful times we had, or the wonderful people we knew. Carol Carolyn Freida Speak for yourself, John. Behind the scenes. You ' re My Sweetsies Keatsie. Senior Class Play You snake in the grass! PROFESSOR HOW COULD YOU ! Young Professor Keats has been asked to be the new dean of his college. But, the dean has to be a married man, Keats is single, and what ' s more despises women especially young fools at college age. After much deliberation, he decides to accept the position and get married. He persuades his long-trusted friend, John Appleby, to find him a suitable girl. Keats in the end has four girls to choose from. He marries Vicky Randolph, the most troublesome of all his students. Who was the lucky one for Keats.

Wheatfield High School library has been in operation for more than twenty years. It has served the students of Wheatfield High School as a place to study, to learn, and enjoy good literature. Wheatfield High School library today has a capacity of about three thousand books. These books cover everything from fiction and biographies to encyclope- dias, dictionaries, and atlases. The library also subscribes to fifteen different magazines and four major newspapers. A fine selection of older magazines and newspapers has been set aside to be used both for reading and for clippings. The library also contains files of information on many varied subjects that would be of a help to the students. The library of a community shows to people of other communities the wealth of that area. If the library and even the school does not do or is not able to per- form the work it was established to do, the people cannot expect the youth of to- day to be useful citizens of tomorrow. Through the library of a school, students learn democratic ideas or the basic beliefs of that country. Even today, librari- ans hold the key to the past, the present, and the future. Wheatfield High School library has been taken care of each year by a few students who act as student librarians. The work which they do is only a minor part of the many tasks which a library requires. The major part of this work is done by our able adult librarian. Miss Brown. There are few people who realize what Miss Brown has done and is doing for this library. Even with all her other responsibilities, Miss Brown has managed this most important part of the school.

SUNSHINE SOCIETY OFFICERS President Vice President Recording Secretary . . . Corresponding Secretary . Treasurer Ann Strain Linda Alberding Toni Valitus Marilyn Myers Ruth Myers The purpose of the Sunshine Society is helping others . Membership is open to all high school girls. The Sunshine Societies of Indiana are good clubs. Our motto is Others . In our creed we say forgetting self , this means that the wishes of others go before our own wishes. We also say, I shall make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. Thus will my own life become rich and complete. If each and every person will put these thoughts and the motto others into every day life each one of us will be a better person, and will have many more friends than if we are selfish. If we spread sunshine we will be much happier too, because when one is doing for others, he is happier. We attended the District Convention at Francesville High School on October 7. Our State Convention was held at North Manchester High School on April 14. Among our activities for the past year were: the Mother and Daughter Banquet, Initiation of new mem- bers, our Christmas Dance Rhapsody in Snow , and our Ideal Ladies ' Tea. At the beginning of the year each Sunshiner chose an Ideal Lady. The identity of the Sunshiner remains a secret to her Ideal Lady until the Ideal Ladies ' Tea which is held in May. The Sunshine Society presented a special assembly program this year featuring Aafga Van der Zaag, an International Foreign Youth Exchange student from the Netherlands. 7. 7.
