REED 14dminiA tration The members of the administrative-body have been very close to the school and its work. The deep interest of the advisory board is shown in presence and praise of school activities and their approval of a reasonable financial budget. The township attorney is very gen- erous with his knowledge of law. The trustee is an inspiration in his general planning and words and smiles of encouragement and approval. The county superintendent, who so wisely plans the general policies of the school, keeps us up to date on latest educational programs. Our principal administers the different departments of the school by administering the policies and plans of the superintendent and trustee.

Let us look into the various departments of learning and see our students hard at work. Many of these departments are nominal and students may choose those subjects which they like or those which will help the most in later life. At the beginning of the sopho- more year each student is launched on a choice of business education, college preparatory, or vocational curriculum. After a student's decision on a curriculum he is guided to take certain subjects of most benefit in his particular held. Some of the department shots are informal, because more can be accomplished in some types of work through an informal atmosphere. These include the journalism, commer- cial, home economics, shop, music, and physical education departments. Other departments such as social studies, mathematics, Latin, and English must function with more dignity. All in all the students of Yorktown High School, with pleasure as well as Work, accomplish a great deal. 5 t LATIN A knowledge of Latin aids us in out study of English and other languages. Not only are we benefited in the understanding of our own language, but Latin also is of great value in the study of many professional fields such as medicine and teaching. The Latin classes, with Mrs. Kimmel as teacher, have been outstanding in the past several years in contest participation. Each year the district contest has been won by one of Mrs. Kimmel's students, with Yorktown at one time placing second in the state. ENGLISH No student leaves school without lingering awhile in one of the divisions of Yorktown High School's English department. Here are taught the fundamentals of our language and the appreciation of good literature under the guidance of Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Hee-ter, and Mr. Pursley. Two elective subjects of our English department are jour- nalism and public speaking. The value of public speaking is in teaching our students how to speak our language clearly, pleasantly, and effectively, The journalism class writes our school paper and exchanges newspapers with high schools all over the United States. These and city dailies are read with an eye toward comparison, evaluation, and content. ' SOCIAL STUDIES ln these classes boys and girls develop a feeling of civic responsibility as they strive to become good citizens of America. Through panel and group discussions history of the past and present is blended to attain the utmost understanding of our times. Included in the department are American history, ancient history and civics. Mrs. Kimmel and Mrs, Dunn are the social studies teachers. a XX AQ- .W x X E 1 :E M, N f Af' .,. . , R I xx .. .4,:p:gi::.i:,- ?... 'T' Mgfmwc 'new ff M- 5 x F- Nha.. V. .f A ' 9 ,. X, X Wav Mug .

Cooking, sewing, home care of the sick, grooming, and food preservation as well as nutrition and healthful living are learned in this department. Young girls gain experience in many projects which are planned parallel to actual home situations. 4-H and FHA lliuture Homemakers of America, function under this department, i I E 2 s i. 1 2 INDUSTRIAL ARTS Drafting and woodworking are offered to train young men as craftsmen. These, some day, may be the noted mastercraftsmen who will know the true value of working with their hands. Here under the guidance of Mr. Stephenson are learned proper use of tools and an appreciation of personal accomplishment in the art of construc- tion. HEALTH First aid, the study of the care and function of the parts of the body, and healthful living are covered in our health classes. Knowledge of these things will develop a stronger nation. A course in drivers' training is also offered which educates youth in proper and safe operation of motor vehicles. Actual experience in operating an automobile is given as excellent training for safer drivers. Mr. May, our coach, is the teacher of these subjects, GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The girls' physical education department, under the supervision of Mrs. Eastman, has squad leader organization. Each squad leader acts as captain of her team, aids in checking the roll, helps put equipment in its proper place and assists in keeping the locker room in order. The girls have completed units in German baseball, volley-rin tennis, volley ball, basketball, tumbling, minor sports, softball, folk dancing, and recreational games. It is the objective of the course to offer some activity during the year in which every girl will develop acceptable skill and receive enioyment. Squad leaders for the present year have been: Mary jo Wagner, Mary Ellen Warfel, Dorothy Everett, Nancy Antrim, Joyce Lusk, Jane Phillips, Eleanor Crawley, and Beverly Ruddick. MUSIC Yorktown High School is proud of its outstanding band. Directed by Mr, Wooley, it has been built up during the past two years to an excellent representation of the talent of our school. The band, in all its glory, lends color and inspiration to our teams and to our student body. This group is especially noted for its marching routines, unusual in the fact that they are original, having been worked out by the students themselves.

Guided by Mrs. Genevieve Summers and Mrs. Mayro Porter, we entered high school in 1944 as freshmen. Class ofiicers were Phil Fraizer, president 5 Dick Antrim, vice-president, and Shirley Caroline, secretary. As sophomores we ordered our class rings. Our officers for the year were Harry Stephenson,,presidentg Wayne Lennington, vice-president, Harold Collins, sec- retary, and Eddie Dragoo, treasurer. During the year two class parties were held under the direction of our sponsors, Mrs. Willimiene Hofherr and Mrs. Van Skyock. Our junior year was highlighted by our play, Faith, Hope, and Flarity , presented March 19. The class had charge of selling the concessions at all school activities. We played host to the seniors at Indianapolis where everyone enjoyed the Shrine Circus. The class sponsors were Mrs. Mary Etta Sutton and Mrs. Hofherr, and the class was led by the officers, Don Morgan, president, Harry Stephenson, vice-president, Nancy Williams, sec- retary, and Harold Collins, treasurer. Seniors at last!! Thirty-five of us will march to the platform in our grey caps and gowns, to receive our diplomas that we have worked for thesr past twelve years. This year our class presented the play Super- stitious Sadie . We also planned the Homecoming CLASS OFFICERS V 0-ffirerr from left to rigbz-Verna Warfel, secretary, Harold Collins, vice-president, Don Morgan, president, Jim Skinner Treasurer. Day, the activities of which included initiation of the Freshmen and a dance in the evening. Along with many other activities as seniors the year proved to be quite a success. School is over for this class of '49 with a success that could not have been accomplished without the guidance of our faculty and parents, and as we go out into the world, we shall always remember the good times we had at good old Y. H. S. We wish to extend our gratitude and thanks to our sponsors, Mrs. Betty jones and Mr. Callaway, for work- ing with us and being sympathetic advisors in our final year. The senior group is pictured in one of more serious moods at a class meeting wi-rh Mrs. jones and Mr. Callaway. Here decisions are made on many different activities and problems. Don Morgan, president, is presiding. u PERRY VBRGIL HBNSLBY upeevy.. .

I8 - ' JUNIORS To theijuniors who will occupy our place next year we sincerely wish the best of luck. In anticipation of its junior-senior financial obli- gations the class began projects such as selling concessions at the baseball and basketball games, chili suppers, and bake sales. During the earlier part of the year the juniors happily received their class rings. I A play, entitled Fresh as a Daisy , was presented by the juniors March 11, which brought much laugh- ter and enjoyment to all the audience. Activities of a more recreational nature included two class parties and the sponsorship of dances after the basketball games. Sponsors of the junior class are Mrs. Heeter and Mr. Pursley.

Perhaps they weren't so happy about it when they were initiated at the homecoming program by the seniors, but the freshmen took their punishment like ladies and gentlemen. The seniors were somewhat cautious in their punish- ment for the greenies , keeping in mind that the freshman class was the largest class in the high school with about twice the senior enroll- ment. One of the activities of the year was a hayride which took them to jackie Miller's home for a weiner roast. With their hard beginning behind them and a bright future ahead, the freshmen look forward to the remainder of their high school days. The class sponsors are Mrs. Brown and Mr. Stephenson.

After their orientation and getting-acquainted period, they settled down to becoming a very real part of our school. Late in September the group held a weiner and marshmallow roast at the ball park and then returned to the school cafeteria for games. In collaboration with the eighth grade, Tom Sawyer an operetta was presented by the students on February 1, As the year draws to a close, another group of seventh graders have aspirations of becoming the eighth graders of '50.

Time, thought, and effort were well spent by the class, and the Epirode, which is entirely written and financed by the seniors, is the fruit of such work. The staff functioned under six committees: advertising, layout, write up, pictures, sports, and circulation. Over all these committees were Donna Swanger, Editor-in-chief, and Don Morgan, Assistant Editor. Immense credit goes to Mrs. Jones and Mr. Callaway who advised and assisted with the entire project. All final copy was typed under the super- vision of Mrs. Eastman. The class would also like to thank Mr. Small for his help in taking some of the informal shots. The staff and sponsors are proud of the result of the confusion and hard work-the 1949 Epifode. They hereby challenge the future seniors to do as well or better. The Epirode committee heads-reared: Joyce Johnson, advertisingg Verna Warfel, picture, Ph llis Mann, write-up, Wilberta McKinley, sportsg Standing, Lois Wallace, layout, Joanne Broadwater, circulationg Donna Swanger, Editor-in-Chiefg Don Morgan, assist- ant Editorg Harry Stephenson, advertisingg and Eddie Dragoo, sports. Thanks to Pete, Raiford, Phil, and Wayne, the world's best solicitors of advertising. Here we are at work. wwawest.,..tseXrS'f3- .sf2.'.:1.,tr, . i Jlwsswbx. . S-mat lm-Lsxisfe siimt Q -ss LIBRARY Within the hallowed chambers of the library assemble many studious people. In this sanctuary they do reference work for classes, select books for book reports, read magazines and newspapers for current events, and do light reading for pleasure. Found here are excellent sources of valuable information. Some of these are the pamphlet hle, encyclopedias, biographic section, dictionaries, magazines, and readers' guides. Any library must have a well trained staff. Under the direction of Mrs. jones, librarian, are joy Wallace, Joyce Mann, Barbara Reed, Lenora jones, Betty Erdle, John Morris, Phil Brown, Jerry Jackson, and John Whealy. F. H. A. The F. H.

Last year York- town's club had one of the highest ratings in baking, food prepara- tion, food preservation, and room improvement. Ninety-seven out of a hundred completed their projects and from this number forty- three received blue ribbons.

Qs., I The band plays Onward Tigers as the grand march begins. HOMECOMING The 1948 Homecoming day, November 24, began with the school holding open house. A surprise program, which turned out to be the initiation of the freshmen and new teachers, was held from 2:00 to 3:00. At 7:00 Yorktown played Royerton a basketball game, After the ball game the seniors gave an open dance which the alumni and others attended and enjoyed. The decorations carried out the theme of Covered Wagon Daze. By popular vote of the student body the Royal Court was chosen among other various activities of the Homecoming. Phyllis Mann was chosen Queen, Tom Collins, King, the attendants were Carolyn McKinley, sophomore, and Jack Reed, junior. Our Queen, Phyllis Mann, and King, Tom Collins, march forward leading the grand march. --I now crown you King- You bite the apple, might well be in the minds of Mrs. Eastman and Mr. Paisley. g Looks as if Bill and joe are all set for a good time STUDENT LEGISLATURE Each year students are elected from various schools to participate in the Indiana Student Legislature held at Pur- due duting early December. This is excellent training and experience for the future leaders of America, York- town sent one senator and one repre- sentative, with an alternate for each. DELEGATES These were Wayne Lennington, repre- sentative, Harry Stephenson, senator, with Dick Pugsley and Ronald King as alternates. These delegates were elected by a committee of judges composed of Mrs. jones, Mrs. Dunn, and Mr. Callaway at a mock legislature held by the senior rivirs rinse nmol-at Inv Mre Kimmel DISCUSSION GROUP ONE OF THE TEN BEST After a vigorous battle for the honor to go to Purdue, Wayne Lennington achieved another honor while he was there as a member of the House of Representatives. Wayne was chosen as one of the ten best speakers of the House which consisted of 266 high school students after he had acted as spokesman for his committee for his bill on civil rights. The ten best were chosen as equal in ability and no one was considered better than any other, He was coached by Mrs. Kimmel. The voice of Y.H.S. is echoed through the discussion group. These people under the direction of Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Kimmel speak at social and business functions and school convocations. They are composed of members of the senior public speaking class and junior history classes, ' The discussion group is: seated left to rigblz Phyllis Mann, Lucille Green, Flora Mae Newman. Slanding: Harry Stephenson, Lois Wallace, Betty Kiser, Dona Halbert, Ronald King, Herbert Fuson. Bark row: Wayne Lennington, Dick Pugsley. DRAMATICS Closely related with discussion is dramatics. The senior play cast worked hard along with their director, Mrs. Jones, to make their play, Superstitious Sadie , a success. They had their fun along with the work, but the whole senior class was proud when the play was said to be the best high school play the audience had ever seen. The play cast is: row one-Lois Wallace, Flora Mae Newman, Verna Warfel, Mrs. Jones, Lucille Green, Betty Kiser, Wilberta McKinley, Joanne Broadwater, prompler.

As a result of the popular vote Verna Warfel, Faye Southerland, and Marna Donovan were elected. It is their duty to conduct pep chapels for the school and direct the Pep Club in its formations and songs. The yell-leaders, the band, and the Pep Club work to- gether through the year to provide inspiration for our ' team and lend color to the school's activities. PEP CLUB This year, under the supervision of Mrs. Eastman, a formal Pep Club was organized. The members of the block wear white pep shirts which have a gold silk chenille tiger head on the left shoulder, dark skirts, and casual oxfords. The purpose of the organization is to provide organized cheer at all home and tournament basketball games. Ar one of the group's early meetings, officers were elected as follows: president-Joyce Landrey, secretary-Jayne Thornburg, and board-of-control members-Barbara Elliott, Nancy Antrim, and Patti Phillips. This young organization has aspirations of becoming a much larger organization and a much more forceful organiza- tion. Due to the limited space, the club membership this year was limited to forty-two, but a long list of applicants for membership is being held and it is hoped that in the future we may have the space necessary in order to admit many new members, Without the cooperation and friendly understanding of the faculty the club counld not have survived. Much can be said for the enthusiasm, loyalty, integrity, and sincerity with which these girls worked with their sponsor and the ell-leaders. Y The group's motto is: We must have a thing done well, otherwise there is no use doing it at all. - t . 'SQ A . H E pa 5 N19 X.. N 'KU 55: 553 it . XM -X - ' gli '- if I X .L 'X A ,, h . . .
