FOREWOHJ... FOLKIDRE. The Class of '49 explain just why they chose 'Folklore' as the them of their Year Book. WHAT IS FOLKLOREY Folklore is stories of happenings forzmd by folks hearing things from others and passing them on by the same oral means. Beliefs, customs, and songs about s people, telling how they feel about their homes, friends, etc., make up a great amount of' folklore. is these stories and songs, and per- sonal oharaoteristics of students, and faculty of Williams High School and its community that the seniors wish to preserve in the Year Book of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Nine. 1 aq wmil , JA Un fx' NIL V- 0 J L if x 5 ' M44 ' N A , A X Xf- ' 'f- '44g4. ,,, 5 g 47f mf xl g,. f-'il .xy A.

The village, plotted on May 20, 1889, by Henry Cox, is the most individual in its artistic beauty of any in the county. The houses are built upon and at the base of a thickly wooded hill, and the winding bank of White River encloses the whole into a spot of natural beauty and unconventional form. The centers of interest are the ch rohes and our school. The people fought valiantly five years ago to rebuild a school to replace the original, which was destroyed by fire in 1945. One of the admirable traits of the people of Williams and community is their staunch support of the school and education. Although no Parent-Teacher Organization is in existence, the Home Economics Club supports the school to the fullest extent, con- tributing time and funds for the benefit of the school life. There are two stores, operated by Mart Smith and Richard Short. Both men are patronizing toward the school, allowing liberal discounts to the school on its purchases, supporting its activities in any way possible. We appreciate our merchants. Our town boasts a small, neat, and artistic post-office, with the 'home-townn appearance one reads about in fiction. We are proud of our home-town Williams. 4 HISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH In the summer of 1926 a tent was set up on the site of a cabin just across the railroad from the Maegerlein Mill. There twenty people met and organized what is now known as the Missionary Baptist Ch rch, with Reverend Alfred Schwab as their 168.d61' 0 The following winter Reverend Mr. Sanders held a revival over the present Richard Short gro- cery. Reverend Mr. Sanders is the grandfather of Miss Lois Sanders, who taught music at Williams High School in 1947. In the spring of 1927 the church members gave donations and pledges to start the present building. The building was brought from Avoca, Indiana, and rebuilt where it stands at the present time. It was completed and dedicated in the late fall of 1928. Among the oldest living mem- bers of the church are: Mr. and Mrs. Otto Wagner of Bedford, R. R. 52g Mr. and Mrs. Elza Smith of Williamsg Mrs. Carrie Wagner of Bedford, the grand- mother of a member of the pres- ent senior class, Anabel Wagner. At the present time the pas- tor is Frank Sallee of Buddha, Indiana. The last revival was held by Reverend Otto Duncan of Mitchell, Indiana, in October of 1948. TH CHURCH OF CH IST The local congregation of the Church of Christ was organized June 15, 1891, in the old school house in Williams. Charter members were listed as 51. Among the few living members are James Williamsg Mr. and 1Mrs. Kimble Kern: Lisker and Fred Adamson: Lucy Thompson, and Everett Williams. Membership increased continuously until it is now one of the largest in southern Indiana. January 19, 1892, Henry and Emily Cox deeded the lot to the church, and a short time later the present church building was erected thereon. Henry Cox willed the land south and the land east of the present bulld- ing, on February 5, 1908. The first elder was Preston Mavity. Deacons were Alford Thompson and Richard Myers. Trustees, Henry Cox, Marion Adamson, and Jacob Bassert. So e early preachers were: Daniel Sommers, 18913 Homer Adamson, 18953 Grlffins, 18973 T. G. Hutson, 19023 A. M. Morris in 19035 J. A. Klingman, 1906. A Bible Reading or study, under direction of A. M. Morris was held in the winter and spring of 1900. Some living members who attended this meet- ing are Mrs. Eva McFarl1n, Mrs. Anna Short, and Mr. and Mrs. Bart Williams. WILLIAIS HYDROELECTRIC PLANT AND DLI In February, 1910, the Moore-Mansfield Construction Company started the construction of the hydroelectric plant and dam. Mr. A. H. Silkien, of Indianapolis, acted as superintendent. The project was financed by the Fletcher National Bank of Indianapolis, Indiana. Some of the men in the community who worked at the plant' are: Merle Smith, Gotleib Bilderbrand, Sanford Hall, Fay Sheetz, Floyd Bone, and Charles Hendrickson. The dam was built in sections and reinforced with twisted steel rods, approximately one inch in diameter. The inside of the dam is hollow and large enough for a man to walk through. It was finished in the winter of 1912 just before the 1915 flood. During the flood the machinery in the plant was covered with water. After the flood the machinery had to be removed, dried and reinstalled. The first superintendent of the plant was Fred Julius of Anderson, Indiana. Mr. Julius was succeeded' by Nathan Hetler, father-in-law of the present superintendent, Arthur Hinshaw. The plant is one of the main attractions of Williams. It sup- plies electricity to the limestone quarries, Bedford, Bloomington, and is connected with the Edwardsport hydroelectric plant. The dam is an ideal fishing center, attracting fishenmen of prominence land otherwise! from all over the country. 6 UNIQUE DIELLIIG An interesting landmark at tho edge of Williams ls an old, old house known as the Walter Jones house. Although completed in 1870 it is well- preserved and well-kept. The first thing one notices is the size of the house, a massive brick and sandstone structure of 26 rooms, of which, at the present, only a part are in use. The material in the house came from the farm upon which the house is built. Even the bricks were made on the farm, and from its own clay. The base of the house, about four feet high, is of sandstone. The largest part of the work was done by hand. One notices, especially, the hand work in the fonning of the sandstone blocks. Under the house is a sprlng which fills a concrete trough in the base- ment. This is used for refrigeration purposes. Pipes leading from the trough carry the water under the road to a pool in the barnyard, which de- lights the cattle on hot summer days. The spring was discovered in the digging of the basement. From the living room one hears clearly the trickling of running water, which is unique. The house was built by Bart Williams, and first occupied by his family in 1870. It is now occupied by Mrs. Nelia Jones, present owner of tho fanm. Mrs. Jones is the daughter of Bart Williams, who at one time was known to own the entire southern end of Lawrence County. IILLIAHS POST OFFICE The first post office opened in 1875, was located whore the Maegerlein Mill now stands, with Ben Carl, the first postmaster. The second post- master was Jake Baker. The post office was then located between the mill and the hotel. 'Mr. Lewis D. Kern, succeeded 'Mr. Baker as postmaster. Following Mr. Lewis D. Kern, Mrs. Lydia O. Baker was appointed post- mistress in 1888. The post office was in her home on the Brick Hill. In the year of 1892, the house where Mr. Bert Short now lives was built for a dressmaking establishment and post office. Mrs. Mayme Henry was post- mistress and also dressmaker. In 1896, the post office was moved to the what is now home of Mr. Henry Flynn. William Lewis was appointed postmaster. J. H. Moore became postmaster in 1896. Mr. Moore had his store and post office directly across the railroad tracks from the depot. Mr. Moore's home, post office, and store burned, so he had to move to the present residence of Mr. Henry Flynn. In 1899, the post office was again moved to the home of Lydia O. Baker. Mrs. Baker lived in the back of her house, and the front served as post office. J. H. Moore resigned in 1900, and Mrs. Byrd Ferguson was appointed postmistress. Mrs. Ferguson had the present post office built in 1915. She had the locker boxes established, also. Mrs. Ferguson was post- mistress until June 50, 1940. Russell Wagoner was acting postmaster for three months. Mrs. Rebecca Maegerlein, the present postmistress, was appointed October 1, 1940. The Williams post office receives incoming mall three times daily, and dispatches mail four times a day. There is one rural delivery route going out from the town each day. 7 WILLIAMS OLDEST RESIDENT John Williams is the town's oldest resident. Mr. Williams was born June 2, 1866, the son of Canaan and Elizabeth Williams. He has lived in or near Williams his entire life. Mr. Williams can recall the building of every house in the town except one, the Garrett Williams house. He recalls distinctly the building of the covered bridge located southwest of town. He re- ceived hts early schooling at the Chase School. In 1896 he entered Central Normal College at Danville, Indiana, and graduated from that school in Business Administration. He, also, took advanced work at New Albany, Indiana. CENTURY-OLD HOUSE Garrett Williams, in 1849, just one hundred years ago this year, built the first house in the community of Williams. The house is built of poplar and walnut timber, cut from the farm. The rooms follow the old tradition of those times of ceiling the rooms with wide plank instead of plastering. Considering the age, the house is in excellent state of repair. , THE COVERED B IDGE Just outside the town of Williams stands an histor- ical landmark, the old covered bridge. It is one of the very few left in the state of Indiana, there being only about three more remaining intact. It is a pic- turesque picture any artist might be proud to paint. y s OUR SCHOOL H With dignity, but with A friendly welcome At the top of the hill, stands Williams High Kay all ye the enter ne'er fail to do Only the things that'11 make her proud of you! 9 OUR SCHOOL AT WORK AND AT-PLAY PRIICIPALVS OFFICI Patsy Bitohdock, Alta Crane, lr.

During that year several incidents and characteristics were developed, which caused me to recall these pupils as they traveled on through school. --Ruth Gehring although very timid and afraid of making a mistake was always delighted to get an A on her report card. --Anabel Wagner, the smallest one of the group, always ex- pressed her desire not to be bothered when at work! --Annabelle Sims was the little bashful girl who did not want to talks --Betty Dorsett was always eager to learn, but did not like to be corrected. Sometimes when books were handy they flew to- ward the teacher. --Alta Crane was our lovely song bird. Her favorite song was I Love Little Willie. --Gene Terrell, who played the negro in our stunt show, did not wang to get his white shirt black because 'mam a wouldnft e t. --Glenn Sims was always ready to defend his nice clothes by using force. He always liked to be dressed nicely. --Eugene Baker was our cry baby, as he always wanted to go home. However, this was overcome by his good work. --Phyllis Wright will always be remembered for her excellent -part played as the nDutch Girl Dancern in our doll show. --Lois Wagner, last but not least, was always ready and will- ing to do, if there was work to be done. Z1 STANLEY WAYNE TODD IN MEMORY OF OUR CLASSMATE Stanley was born July ll, 1951. He entered Williams High School in 1945, and passed away March 1, 1948. Stanley was a very dependable, cooperative, and well-liked student. It was a great shock to his classmates, and teachers when the sad news of his illness and death came. He is sadly missed in his classes. Memories of Stanley will linger long in Williams High. They are not dead! They have but passed Beyond the mists that blind us here Into the new and larger life Of that serener sphere. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear, immortal spirits tread. For all the boundless universe Is Life--there are no dead. --J. L. McCreery ZZ History for most of us was in the making for the first time about 1931. These were the good ole days of gurgling, and coolng, and tri-cornered apparel. 0' Six long years finally rolled around and we put in our first appearance in W.H.S., still gurgling and cooing --which might be called the beginning of the second chapter of our history. Mrs. Fortner did very well iconsidering what she had to do with, for we were only normal, curious folk.J Life that year was, indeed, complicated with ustand up,n usit down,n nyou must, uyou mustn't,u nturn around,n uno gum,n uno whisper- ing,--.N We survived, and likewise did Mrs. Fortner. Other similar years followed with Mrs. Lynch, Mr. Craig, Mr. Bridges, Miss Clemens, and Mr. Terrell taking turns at molding us. 55 clog H I Z Then came a sunny day a long time ago in 1945, when eighteen all- important students assembled in Room 5 to begin a high school career. Our class became the Freshman Greenies of that year. We chose our subjects: biology, algebra, home economics, literature and English, or rather, had them thrust upon us. Soon we elected class officers and started to do the things that made our year exciting. Officers for the year were: presi- dent, Gene Terrell, vice-president, David Patton, secretary-treasurer, Lois Wagoner, reporters, Phyllis Wright and Don Brown, sponsor, Mrs. Lena McClung. Happy events followed. The first of these was a fresh an class party--a weiner roast at Spring Mill State Park. Several weeks later the senior class gave a party for us for selling the most subscriptions for the annual. After Chrfstmas vacation the class began to plan for the annual Valentine party given by the freshmen to all high school classes and their sponsors. On March 14, the class participated in the Stunt Show with a three-act play entitled nThe Supreme Sacrlfice,n starring Betty Dorsett as Pocahontas, Gene Terrell as John Smith, Glen Sims, heap big Injun Chief, who was supposed to cut off John's head, Ruth Gehring, Anabel Wagner, and Annabelle Sims, were Indian maidens. After the Stunt Show everyone looked forward to the close of school. During this year we lost two of our class- mates, Glen Inman and Helen Moser. Vacation over, we assembled again eager to start. We were no longer nfreshman greeniesn but nsophomore Smarties land we do mean with a capital Slb As we looked around the room we saw that we had lost some more of our classmates--Wahneeta Grissom, George Owens, David Patton, and Joy Helen Brock. About two days after school began the class elected their officers: president, Glen Sims, vice-president, Gene Terrell, secretary- treasurer, Berniece Roberts, reporters, Lois Wagoner and Eugene Baker, sponsor, Mr. Ira Andis. We started off our class events this year with a party at the Avoca Fish Hatchery and a show afterward. In the spring we had a picnic near Williams. After the ball games started the girls sold popcorn, candy, and sandwiches at the home games. The boys who played on the team were Don Brown, Gene Terrell, and Glen Sims. When the fall of 1947 came, we found that the junior class had changed drastically. One of our old classmates had left us, but several were added. We lost Don Brown, but we had gained Patsy Hitchcock, Dale Stroud and Bill Parker from Martin County, Alta Mae Crane from Huron, Wanda Morris from Indianapolis, and Dean Gore from Fayetteville. Max Taylor, from Martin County, joined us the second semester. When everyone had settled Z3 down the class officers for the year were elected: president, Lois Wagoner: vice-president, Bill Parker, secretary-treasurer, Berniece Robertsg reporter, Betty Dorsettg sponsor, Mrs. Barlow. We started the year off selling subscriptions for the school paper. For winning, the seniors gave us a party at Spring Mill Park. Then a few weeks later we had our regular class party at Anderson's Roller Rink. One day a sales- man came to the school to show some samples of class rings. After careful consideration we ordered our rings--high crest with W H S atop--and im- patiently awaited their coming which happened to be in March and not in December as was promised. After the Christmas vacation was over and everyone was back and settled down, we began to think seriously about the junior-senior reception. After much consideration and planning, we decided to make a tour of Indianapolis, which included a breakfast at Fendricks. The table decora- tions were in the senior colors and flower, green and white with yellow roses. Place cards were a card with black silhouette head and small diploma tied with green ribbon. The Harlin Brothers, Hawaiian enter- tainers played request numbers during breakfast. One high light was a visit to the WIRE studios, where a gardenia was given each girl. Carol Condiff, senior and Annabelle Sims, junior, won an electric iron and Toni- Penmanent, respectively. A Chinese dinner at the Bamboo Inn did not prove so glorious, but supper at the Russet made up for the dinner. All re- turned home tired, but happy, at ten-thirty in the evening. The second semester we published the WHS Hi-LIGHTS which won the first place award as best school paper in the county. At the home games we sold popcorn, candy, pop, and sandwiches. Classmates who played on the team were: Glen Sims, Gene Terrell, and Bill Parker. Berniece Roberts, Betty Dorsett, and Lois Wagoner represented the school in the com ercial contest in the beginning typing division. Berniece won second place in the county. Oolitic defeated us as a team by one point. One sad event came during our junior year, the death of our classmate, Stanley Todd. If we as juniors were busy, then when we assembled in the classroom in the fall of 1948 we realized that our super-busiest year was just begin- ning. Business of the year began by the election of class officers and an annual staff. Officers for the year were: president, Gene Terrellg vice-president, Glen Sims: secretary-treasurer, Lois Wagoner, reporter, Betty Dorsettg co-sponsors, Mr. Weathers and Mrs. Barlow. Election and appointments over, we began work on the things to be done. First, was the sponsoring of the subscription contest for the school paper. Early in the fall a salesman came to show us samples of announcements, thank-you cards, and name cards. He also showed caps and gowns which were modeled by Alta Mae Crane, Anabel Wagoner, and Eugene Baker. Caps and gowns were voted definitely out. A few weeks later the president called the class to order in a class meeting to choose a flower, motto, and the class colors. The motto chosen was Destination--Successg the class colors, fuschia and silver, and the flower, the sweet pea. At Hallowe'en time we sponsored a pie supper, the receipts of which went to the library for the books that were badly needed. Annabelle Sims was chosen by the faculty for the D.A.R. Citizenship Award contestant from our school. Glen Sims, a senior, left school on January 5, to enlist in the army. He was greatly missed by the class and ballteam. Berniece Roberts became seriously ill January 15 and was taken to Dunn Memorial Hospital. The class sent a flower in class colors to cheer her. On February 16 the seniors and juniors visited the legislature. The climax of all events came with class day, baccaulaureate and com encement in April, 1949. l Z4 I, Max Taylor, will t' 1949 Sw JAMA' We, the Class of '49 mind lor reasonably sos sojourning from WHS, being of soun do hereby bequeath the many of our personal possessions, for which we no longer have need, to those we leave behind.

That was fifteen years ago. Juno has done much in the television field, which has given me great satisfaction, mainly because through his won- derful invention I can tune in at any time I am homesick for the old gang of '49ers, and know what they are doing. And here in my pent house atop the Waldorf-Astoria, I often find myself longing for days at W.H.S. I am grateful for L1alotski's invention of the super-sensitized film, which records pennanently any television reception one might wish to keep. Forgive me, dear diary, but I must paste into these pages in re- view my classmates of Williams High. Now, to my television set for a glimpse of those faces dear in memory. Ah! Moskva, Russia. Here is the famous minister who did so much to convert the Reds, and it was also he who was almost directly responsible for averting the war between Russia and the U.N. the year I married Juno. The Right Reverend Dale Stroud, Bishop of Canteloupe. With what dignity he graces the pulpit, dear old 'Porky.n Poor Lois Wagoner traveled the world over for what she considered a right decent, real he-man, disappointed and soured on the world as a whole, she is taking it out on this younger generation, teaching school at W.H.S. Betty Dorsett settled down on a farm atop one of Martin Co. hills with her husband. Luckily, I just snapped her as she and Doyle Jr. are feeding her prize pullets. Static, static--no wonder. On the screen quite clearly appears Max, the killer. Little Maxie, we used to call him--now the world's champion heavy weight boxer, having knocked out Joe Lewis in 1958. A charming socialite now I see. It is Ruth Gehring Vanderbilt, who as private secretary to this multimillionair, used her snappy black eyes to capture his heart and now runs his business instead of working at it. gage she is, aboard their private yacht on White River, vacationing near V. .S. What's this? I could not be mistaken by those actions. It is simply Anabel, a typical shrew, leading her h sband a merry chase--and by his ear, oo. There's Dr. Wendell Gore with one of his patients. We used to call him Dean in school, but since he became state vet he uses the name, Wendell, for he says it sounds more nhigh-faloot1n'. I must say the cow looks relieved now that he is leaving her--which reminds one of his school days, lDean's, not the cow'sJ. My television radio set 1s picking up a lot of static--Oh no, it is not static. There is the Metropolitan Opera stage and it is the voice of Wanda Morris we hear. What notes! WHAT, notes? Wanda gave up Cecil years ago for an opera career. 27 Outside the opera I have a glhmpse of Count and Countess DuBerry, just arriving at Wanda's Premier. She is the former Alta Mae Crane. As you all know, the French Count's marriage to the American stirred all French society in 1957. It also stirred Junior. As I turn my dial I get a long distance reception--Ethiopia. Here is a dark haired attractive Red Cross nurse injecting a special heart medicine, for which she herself gained fame for the discovery. we are proud to have a second Madame Curie from our group of graduates of '49. Annabelle Sims was always interested in humanity, so it is not astonish -ing she became famous. Assisting her in her discovery was her brother, Glen, who is now a famous scientist. We always thought he'd be a scien- tific farmer, but ambitions sometimes change. He is doing a great ser- vice in the World of Discovery. Phyllis Wright married a Scotchman, and is living a quiet life on a fans--not modern, but they do have five rooms and path. Just tuned in and have Phyllis' daughter on the screen. She looks amazingly like her mother. Berniece shopped around for years before she found a suitable mate. Finally getting old and despondent she ln desperation grabbed off Harold Parker, brother of Bill, an old flame. Reception being good I can see their domestic life. I have it. Berniece is talking to her mother on the phone. She says she wants to know what to do for acute indigestion. Harold is bending double in pain from some hot biscuits Bernlece pre- pared from a recipe she learned at school. Now what is this? It is a view from the largest goose fanm in the world, located in Minnesota. It is owned and operated by Gene Terrell. That is Gene now with a prize gander. CThe one on the right is Gene.D This is a view of the tropics. A man with a club in his hand is swinging the club to and fro. He has blond hair and blue eyes. It is Eugene Baker at the mouth of his cave. After graduation, you know, Eugene, who had always been so retiring of nature, could no longer en- dure civillzation. He went to the warm tropics and became a cave man. This static and vision is becoming terrible. I can not discern--now that is better--a street in New York--Bill Parker as usual, the lady killer--only in New York there are more to kill. Probably his reason for going there. He is helping two elderly women across the street-- Mrs. Phipps and Mrs. Barlow, who in spite of their age are still taking teacher-training courses. They should be trained by now. Bill is going back to the curb for a little old lady in a wheel chair, Mrs. McClung. Bong! Bong! That was Mr. Bailey whizzing by engineering a sub-way car. Disgusted with roads, he sold his Ford in 1952 and left for New York. Who is this in a high top hat and 'tails'? It is Mr. Weathers just turning in at his office on Wall Street. Be is now a great financier. That is his Packard at the curb--well, can you imagine that! His chauffeur is telling a New York policeman a thing or two. What is he saying to the cop? nI'll give you a test, and I will do the grading. Then we shall see where you stand! I can't see the chauffeur's face, but I will give you just one guess as to who it is! This static and vision are boring me. Enough for tonight--Adrienne, bring me my slippers. That maid is always-- Z8 SCHOOL DAYS School days, school days, Dear old Williams school days, Civics, English, and bookkeeping, too, Will help us to learn, we know it is true. But that's not my purpose in writing this verse, 'Tis the character of seniors, I want to rehearse. There's wlllowy Lois, with hair that is red, Who plans upon marriage, so Don has just said. Glen Sims is a fine and likeable chap, If he could be broken of that daily nap. If you're looking for spirit in a senior girl, Just see Anabel Wagner, she'll give you a whirl. Bill Parker, we'll remember for using his head, He's constantly shooting--off his mouth, not lead. Quiet, sedate, with plenty of knowledge, We wonder if Ruth Gehrlng will soon grace some college. Dean Gore is not made of such very bad stuff, If now and then he does get a bit gruff. Berniece likes bookkeeping, and too, she likes Glen, You'll find them together, Heaven knows when???? A modern, but plain dirt farmer to be, Is Gene Terrell, our star player and president, you see Alta and Junior will live happy ever after, If they can but find a foundation, and put up a rafter. Oh! but wait, for there's still our own little Maxy, Who is saving his pennies to buy him a taxi. What shall we say about Phyllis Ann Wright? She hates to see people quarrel and fight. Baker is quiet and never gets into trouble, If he were mischievous, his trouble would be double. Blue eyes and brown hair, has Annabelle Marie, She likes little Johnnie, that is plain to see. Studious and pleasant you'll find Dale Stroud, To be a senior, makes him feel quite proud. Patsy Hitchcock, dainty, tall, and thin, Wears a chanming smile, especially for men. Tall, slender Betty with very black hair, In conducting her business, you'll find her quite fair. And Wanda loves music, but best she loves Joe, Her much treasured secrets, we never will know. So we come to the end of our high school days, And we shall go happily our separate ways. But oft in the twilight of coming time May you sit and dream over this old rhyme of mine. --Phyllis Wright Z9 HALLOWEEN PARTYP-PIE SUPPER The night of October 29 was a gala event gymnasium. If you had been outside at about 7 have been scared nstiffu as there were ghosts, and glamour gals of all descriptions. Events election of the most popular school girl, happened to be the fastest pie eater. Michael in the Williams High School loo p.m. you would probably goblins, skeletons, clowns, of the evening included the Patty George. Mr. Weathers Embree, Mrs. Ilene Key, and Sherry Williams were chosen the best masked in the masquerade. Each re- ceived a prize. Wanda Morris had the prettiest box for which she received a prize. Wanda Morris and John Freeman furnished the musical entertainment for the evening. Even with the Pie Supper at Huron, there was quite a crowd at the gym. The proceeds--570.65--went for library books. SUBSCRIPTION PARTY On the night of September 28, the senior and sophomore classes met in the school library for the subscription party which the seniors had prom- ised the winners. Several games were played which created much enthusiasm. Most of all, the contest on nHat Modelingn was enjoyed. Lest we forget, one gorgeous model, Mr. Weathers, modeled a very lovely hat designed by Mademoiselle Carolyn Gore. On this hat were zinnias, onions, turnips, milk weed, a paper sack, dill, carrots, marigold, and a great long streamer from --sh-sh--a very familiar roll of tissue paper. Another of the hats was de- signed by Mary Key and modeled by Dean Gore. This devastating chapeau was made of flowers, onions, turnips, and green leaves Qbuilt around a paper sack. The winning hat was designed by Madame Gloria Jean Sim erman and modeled by the lovely, vivacious Lloyd Jewell, and he really was a njewelln. It contained zinnias, marlgolds, turnips, onions, dill, cabbage stalks, corn tassels, twine string, carrots, a black and yellow scarf, ar- ranged on a small black beanie. Prior to the model show, everyone went to the back of the school ground and had a grand and glorious weiner roast. SKATING PARTY As an economy measure, all four high school classes agreed to have their first semester class party together. Everyone wanted to go skating, so they went to Anderson's Rollerland, October 5, for a wonderful evening. There were lots of spills, of course, but they always came up laughing. CASCADE ESCAPADE One bright sunny day Mr. Weathers permitted the seniors, with Mrs. Barlow, go to take pictures for the annual. Gene Terrell, Glen Sims, and Dean Gore furnished transportation. Going to Bloomington, the class saw several places which they thought would make interesting pictures. CYou should have seen the seniors on those little airplanes and cars at the Cascade Parklj Several of them came back with colds, but there is a penalty for all good things. RADIO BROADCAST Through the courtesy of the Coca-Cola plant in Bedford, the Williams High School gave a program over WBIW, March 1. Several seniors participated. 30 S E N I 0 R F A R E I E L L A C T I V I T I E S BACCALAUREATE Williams High School Ap:-11 24, 1949 H8.1'0b........ .Doris Roberts Process1onal....................Needmore H.

Leaving at 4:30 a.m., the classes made the trip in a chartered bus, arriving in the city in time for breakfast. After breakfast they started their sight-seeing trip. the Ohio River Harbor and United States Coast Guard Station and the 'Louisville and Portland Canal and Locks were visited. Next came the J. B. Speed Memorial Museum on the Belknap cam- pus of the University of Louisville. This was followed by a visit to the Kentucky School for the Blind. Luncheon time came too soon, but was quite welcome, never- theless. After lunoheon the classes drove te' Churchill Downs where the Kentucky Derby is run annually th May--too bad it was only April! Watching the broadcast over WHAS, then a hurried trip through the Ford Motor Ccmpan s Assembly Plant, with a visit to the new plant of the Ggurier-Journal and Louisville Times completed the day. 31 September October November DOCGIHDBI' January February April CALENDAR OF EVENTS 1948-49 School opens S.. 6..Labor Day 7..Start to school 8..Wanda Morris has major operation ..Softball team wins over Huron ..lr. leyer, new teacher, Joins faculty ..Sortball team defeats Fayetteville, 10-4 ..Beat Huron in softball, 21-9 ..Seniors choose announcement cards ..Softbal1 game with Tunnelton. ..Freshman home economics girls give pageant on 'breakfast' ..All senior girls present for once ..Softball tourney begins ..Sen1ors give Subscription Contest Party for sophomores ..Softball tourney ls delayed because of rain ..All high school classes go to Anderson's Roller Land ..Bern1ece Roberts takes orders for class sweaters ..New merry-go-round installed and tried out ::School movie Alice in Wonderland' Senior class goes to Cascade Park to take pictures Juniors get class rings Hardwood season opens ::Sen1or girls serve election board ..Wanda Morris plays accordian solo at 'Citizens of Tomorrow' Program ..Mov1e 'Before the Doctor Comes' ..Armlst1ce Day ..Hov1e 'Jane Eyre' ..Thanksg1v1ng Vacation ..Freshman girls decorate library for Christmas season ..Senior home economics girls learn to knit ..Movle 'Kidnaped' ..Basketbal1 boys hang coats on ceiling lights ..Yell leaders make megaphones from buttennllk boxes ..Mov1e House of Seven Gables' ..Wonder why the senior boys are in the waiting rocm???

BEX BYRON BRIDES Much deserved praise goes to Mrs. Fanny Fortner, teacher of the primary grades. Her experience and understanding nature make her invaluable. Mrs. Fortner has taught for the past 29 years at Williams, Fort Ritner, Lawrenceport, and Huron. She received her training at Indiana State Teachers' College and Central Normal College. Teacher of the third and fourth grades, Mrs. Gail Box is a very busy person. She assumes her responsibilities with a smile even though her pupil load is almost double the standard. She is known for her cheerfulness and capability. Hrs. Bex has taught for 9 years at Williams, Patton Hill, Bridge School, and at Fayetteville. Mr. Byron Bridges teaches the fifth and sixth grades. He is well-known for his humor and wit. Aside from his regular duties he has taken over the supervising of the physical education of the younger children, coaching basketball and arranging games with other schools to encourage them Ln sports. He should be commended for his interest in these future ball players. Besides Williams he has taught at Huron, Bryantsville, Bowden, Johnson, Brook, and Judyville--a total of 21 years. 37 the MQW 38 QIYP' UGDS VJQY 3' mpg-- LOho's sf y C .DL 2. si ? Remember me?

Twenty-six of the thirty-five boys listed for physical education classes reported. The new coach, Carl Bailey, decided to keep the squad intact all year to stimulate in- terest. Hold overs, David Nunn and Gene Terrell fonmed a nucleus for the graduation-riddled squad. Eight remaining gaps on the nFirst Ten were adequately filled by additions from last year's second string. Dee Hinshaw, Lyle Mitchell, Sam y Embree, Glen Sims, Max Connerley, Bill Parker, Dean Gore, and Bob Stroud or Leroy Padgett formed a capable and well-balanced group. Hinshaw and Sims were lost through ineligibility and enlistment, respec- tively. Despite these difficulties, a winning season has been fashioned against tough competition both in and out of the county. The team can justly be proud of a 66-21 victory over Huron in which the 'Dogs hit 29 of 57 shots for a record 75 percent. Next, came a well-deserved win over Needmore, last year's County Champs, by a close 52-50 score. Against Alfordsville, a county scoring record for the year was established in an 84-19 massacre. Individual performances list Gene Terrell's 28 points fa scor- ing record at that timel in the Fayetteville game only to be broken by an all time county individual scoring record of 59 points by David Nunn vs Alfordsville. Only one defeat has been suffered on the home floor. Despite difficulties the boys have done well and deserve full credit--well, not nfulln credit as they are fortunate enough to have a well-infonmed, hard-working as well as persevering coach. ULLPUPS ROMP If the record spoke for itself, a small voice would be heard. Only three wins against, thirteen defeats have been registered. Many ills, so e self-inflicted, beset the Pups throughout the season. Scholastic ineligibility and necessary move-ups to the first string disturbed the team balance. However, a large squad of sixteen boys gave the team quantity, if not quality. Nearing the end of the season the boys have shown hmprovement and have the makings of spirit and undeveloped ability. Victories have been hung up over Campbellsburg, Fayetteville, and Alfordsville. Good games have been played with other teams only to have the attack bog down in the closing quarter. Second string players are: Leroy Padgett, Bob Stroud, Clifford Hardwick, Leslie Grissom, Russell Stroud, Dean Baker, Richard Moser, Bob White, Harold Crane Billy Dorsett, Lavere Stroud, Max Taylor, Keith Marley, Joe Gray. Dicky Hagemeir and Jerrel Hagemeir moved to Chicago and returned ineligible. 48 Twenty-six boys reported for fall softball practice under the direction of a new coach, Carl Bailey. It was a bit con f fusing for him to sort and classify the tb.:-ee Bakers, , D and H.: four Strouds, D., B., L., and R.: and two Parkers, and B.

Out of twenty-five who started twenty-two finished. Several car- ried three projects. All record books received grades from A- to A+, except one which received a B. Much of the good work was due to the excellent help of the junior leaders, Alta Mae Craneg Anna Dee Blake, Bernlece Roberts, and Mary Lou Wilking. When the girls' projects were completed a local exhibit was held at the school house. Several mothers attended and enjoyed a social hour with the girls. Refreshments were served. In the county judging contest Berniece Roberts won first place judging food preparation. She judged the same project in the district contest. Mary Lou Wilking won a Foley food chopper for her excellent work in food preparation. Berniece Roberts' yeast rolls won sweepstakes at the county exhibit and third place at the state fair. Mary Lou Wilkings' chocolate cake and washable sports dress won sweepstakes at the county exhibit and second place at the state fair. After the county exhibit a 4-H Club Camp was held at Shakamak State Park. All who exhibited their work in the county exhibit could go. Only Marta Jo Holmes and Feliece Roberts went. They urge other members of the club to take advantage of the 4-H Camp next year. Alta Mae Crane and Mary Lou Wilking attended a Craft School at Bedford in November where they worked with felt, plastics, metal, and wood. February 10, Mary Lou Wilking and Feliece Roberts at- tended a Music and Social Recreation Institute at Bedford. They should be able to help their club along these lines next sum er. They were luncheon guests of the Rotary Club at the Greystone. The 4-H girls say, We wish more girls would join our club and enjoy the good times with us as well as the interesting work. The boys' White River Farmers' 4-H Club had a successful year. Out of twenty who started eighteen finished. Some carried more than one project. Those that finished exhibited at Purdue Farm in August and were entitled to go to Club Camp at Shakamak State Park. In February of this year Sammie Embree and Lavere Stroud at- tended a Music and Social Recreation Institute at Bedford. They were luncheon guests of the Rotary Club at the Greystone Hotel. The 4-H boys would like to enlarge their club next year. They invite all boys to join, and work and play together.
