Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1936 volume:

RAVELINGS O F 19 3 6 Published by SENIOR CLASS CHESTER I1IGII SCHOOL - North Manchester, Indiana TO you, 0 Future, we entrust this “Ravelings of ’36” as a priceless treasure. May its pages be the reflection of golden memories that shall not fade, but may ever grow fonder and sweeter by the enchantment which Time lends to them. May the fond friendships of our high school days never be severed by Time or by distance, but may they remain a benediction that is cherished with affection and reverence. We, the Class of 1936, have prepared this volume as a treasure-house of those memories which we hold most dear in the year that has passed.

The one was located at Liberty Mills and the other at Servia. Mr. A. L. Ulrey was the last Principal at Servia and the first at Chester. Mr. Henry Hoover was the last Principal at Liberty Mills and succeeded Mr. Ulrey at Chester. The first high school at Chester offered only two years work, the students being transferred to Central for graduation. The first Chester High School building was erected in 1902 and remodeled in 1906. This building served the people well. To keep pace with times and meet enrollment needs a new building was considered in 1929. Trustee Charles Wright and his Advisory Board early in the year 1929 asked for a bond issue for the financing of a new school plant. Everitt I. Brown was secured as architect. The General Contract was let to Frantz and Loucks, the plumbing and heating contract to H. W. Canvin, and the electrical contract to C. E. Ruppel and son. The equipment furnished was of very high quality and ample in the Science anu Home Economics Departments. The gymnasium-auditorium was made amply large and well equipped. The landscaping was well planned and as a result the exterior of the building is given an excellent surrounding of natural beauty. The building has been rated as one of the twenty best rural buildings in the state. Prior to this year a strong academic course has been offered. An effort has been made to continue such a course and also to add to it a more varied and enriched cur- riculum. Bookkeeping and typing were added this year. By the addition of shorthand next year, a full commercial course may be obtained. A general shop course and courses in advanced agriculture are also contemplated for next year. It is hoped that such a curriculum may more fully meet the needs of the community. SCHOOL HISTORY To our principal, Herman I. Shultz, who made it possible for us to publish an annual, and who is one of our class spon- sors, and to Miss Orpha Book, our other class sponsor, who was also our Junior sponsor, we affectionately dedicate this first volume of the “Ravelings.” They, through their ser- vices to our class and by their intense interest in the students and the student activities, have won our sincere admiration. DEDICATION “IJeside yon straggling fence that skirts the way, With blossom’d furze unprofitably gay, There in his noisy mansion, skill’d to rule, The village master taught his little school. A man severe he was, and stern to view; 1 knew him well, and every truant knew; Well had the boding tremblers learn’d to trace The day’s disasters in his morning face; Full well they laugh’d, with counterfeited glee, At all his jokes, for many a joke had he; Full well the busy whisper, circling round. Convey’d the dismal tidings when he frown’d; Yet he was kind; or if severe in aught, The love he bore to learning was in fault.” —Oliver Goldsmith. NEIL M. GOOD Co. Supt. of Schools HERMAN I.

Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men; Wisdom in minds attentive to their own. Knowledge — a rude, unprofitable mass, The mere materials with which Wisdom builds, Till smoothed, and squared, and fitted to its place— Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much , Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.” Cowper ( :i ) JOE METZGER ISABEL BEERY GOLDIE GUMP President Vice-Pres. Sec’y-Treas.

Veil Leader School 3 Class 2. 3 (lirl Reserve 2. 3 Filtered 2 Ffourscore less seventy-six years ago our fathers sent forth to this ' school, a new class, to be placed m servitude and dedicated to the sup- position that all students should learn abundantly. Since then, we have engaged in a great struggle, testing whether that student, or any student so green, can long endure. Wo have come to dedicate a portion of our history as a class to those teachers who have strived so hard that we students might survive. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this . At the beginning of our Freshman year our class numbered 42. On March 3 we gamed Ruth Aughinbaugh. Our officers were Virginia Gilbert, president; Basil Bunyan, vice-president; Esther Haines, secretary and tiea- surer; and Elinore Yarian, yell leader. Miss Garber was our class sponsor. On November 11, 1932 we met at the school building for a jolly party. We had refreshments consisting of cocoa, doughnuts, and popcorn balls. For various reasons Ralph Buckingham, Cleo Jacobs, Carl Stellar, Vernon Spacy, and Vera Walters decided not to join us at the beginning of our Sophomore year. We had three new members, Helen Parker and Mavis Vergon, and Goldie Gump came to us during the year making our number 41. On March' 7 Gene Lukenbill left us, decreasing our number to 40. Our officers were Basil Bunyan, president; Virginia Gilbert, vice-president; Maxine Maple, secretary and treasurer; Esther Haines, student council representative; and Elinore Yarian and Mavis Vergon, yell leaders. Mr. Searer was our class sponsor. We had our class party, which was a kid party, at the school building on Friday evening, March 6. Refreshments of weiners and cocoa were served. Basil Bunyan and Wilma Swain moved into other school districts and for reasons unknown, Dallas Guthrie did not join us in our Junior year. At the beginning of the year we gained Howard W eaver and in March we gained Elden Johnson, but during the year we lost Howard Weaver and Robert Olinger, making our number 38. Our officers were Joe Metzger, president; Virginia Gilbert, vice president; Isabel Beery, secretary and treasurer; Mavis Vergon and Elinore Yarian, yell leaders; Elinore Yarian, girls’ athletic manager, and Milo Ulrey, boys’ athletic manager. Miss Book was our class sponsor. On Tuesday night, December 11, our class presented “On lone’s Trail” with the following cast: Helen Parker, Freida Kreider, Grace Reiken, Virginia Gilbert, Esther Haines, Leon Garber, Joe Metzger, Dan Aughinbaugh, Lee Lefforge, and Howard Weaver. We had an “auto” party on Friday evening, March 29, at the school building. Refreshments of fruit salad, punch, and doughnuts were served. The Junior and Senior Reception was held Saturday evening, April 13, 7:30 P. M. The gym was decorated in rainbow decorations. The toastmaster for the evening was Joe Metzger. On August 30 a group of dignified Seniors trooped into the Study Hall with the idea in mind that they could do most anything they pleased under a group of six new teachers. We found that we gained one new member, Harold Frantz. During the first semester Freida Kreider and Ruth Aughin- baugh set sail on the sea of matrimony, making our number 37. The offic- ers for the year were Joe Metzger, president; Isabel Beery, vice president; Goldie Gump, secretary and treasurer; and Helen Parker and Walter Sites, student council representatives. Rev. Noah H. McCoy delivered our Bacca- laureate sermon, and Rev. H. G. Rowe our Commencement address.

ATHLETICS The Chester High School athletic program opened with baseball. This being the second year for baseball at Chester, the team was given ne suits and shoes. They all played very well and made a tine record ot five victories and one defeat. A spring baseball schedule has been arranged. We hope the boys will keep up the good record through the spring baseball season. An intramural basketball league was organized for the boys who did not make the first or second team. Any boy who was not a member of the former teams was eligible if he cared to play. The games for the boys wore played at the noon periods on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There was also an intramural basketball league organized for the girls. Since we had no girls basketball team, any girl that cared to play was eligible to do so. The games for the girls were played on Monday and Wednesday noons. A room on the first floor was equipped with three ping-pong tables. This room was for all who were not eligible or didn’t care to play basketball at noons. From the standpoint of the scoreboard the Panthers did not have a brilliant basketball season. In fact, they were perched on one of the lowest branches of the tree. Despite the defeats suffered, the team displayed un- bounded pep, fight, and co-operation. Four players graduate this year, but with the promising group coming on, we expect to have an outstanding team next year. The second team has shown a lot of pep and skill which we hope will put the Panthers on the top limb next year. Royal blue honor sweaters with the school letters and a stripe on the left sleeve for each year spent on the first squad were pres- ented by the Athletic Association to the four senior boys, Leon Garber, Toe Metzger, Milo Ulrey, and George Walters, Jr. ATHLETIC PROGRAM Our yell leaders this year, Phyllis Hoover, John Walters, and Betty Abbott, filled their places very efficiently. These individuals were chosen by popular vote of the stu- dent body. They have created a spirit of pep and enthusiasm throughout the high school and community. Let us look behind the scenes in the play. “Basketball ’ There you will find the fellow who pulls the curtain, sets the scenery, and controls the lights. With these duties properly- disposed of, the play can go on. We have had a good backstage man this year. To all calls of “Here, Dan!” “Hey, there, Dan!” “Where’s Dan?” “Dan, when-wherc- why?” he has responded with the best of an- swers he knew. Hats off to our student man- ager, Dan Aughinbaugh!

Whistle and be gay; Read a little, play a little, Busy every day; Talk a little, laugh a little, Don’t forget to pray; Re a bit of merry sunshine All the blessed way.” ACTIVITIES It all started with an automobile accident. The car that was driven by the gay Gordon Dansard collided with the one occupied by pretty Patsy Huff and her friend Myna Murridge. It happened to be Gordon’s sixth accident for the week, unavoidable oi course, but his father refused to allow him to return home except on condition that he settled down to work. As proof of this his father required that he sell an order of goods to Matthew Huff, who turned out to be the uncle of the girls in the automobile. Patsy tried to conceal the news of the mishap from her people and Gordon hid from his creditors. Both stopped at the same hotel. A chiffon dress that was worn by Patsy at the time of the accident was hidden in the room taken by Gordon. He put on the dress and was caught by Patsy’s aunt while thus attired and was introduced to her as Miss Withers. Unfortunately he was forced to keep the deception throughout the remainder of the play thereby causing many hilarious situations.

He got disgusted and went into town for the week-end. The butler, Mr. Fellows, got a telephone call that his daughter, Lorna, was com- ing to see him. He had always made her think that he was rich and he feared that she would find out that he was only a butler, so he posed as the man of the house. After Lorna, her boy friend, Wilton, and his mother, Mrs. Luverne, arrived, Rufus came home. Hugh tried to get him to act as butler. After a great deal of per- suading, he consented to help Fellows out of his difficulty. He reasoned it out with Hugh and decided to give Fellows away to see if Lorna was worth all her father was doing for her and to find out if Wilton was worth anything, and so he did. Lorna appre- ciated all that her father had done for her, but Wilton jilted her because she was only a servant’s daughter. Hugh was very much pleased because he now had a chance to win Lorna.

DAD FOR A DAY “And It Rained” was a two-act operetta given by the High School Mixed Chorus directed by Miss Ulmer. It proved to be a very successful performance. The story took place in a mid-western town the morning after a heavy rain storm. In this town we find two trains held up due to a washed-out bridge. There was a hotel near by, so all of the passengers found shelter in the hotel which was going to have its opening that even- ing. The manager of the hotel was Mr. Wise who was unfortunately managed by his wife. She was the leading lady of society in that town. A tragedy almost resulted from the use of false names. Dennis Black changed his name to White while his younger and pert sister, Maize, changed her name to Gray. Maibelle, the loving and charming daughter of John Rich, was on the trip for the pur- pose of securing an heirloom which turned out to be a cracked and distorting mirror. She said it was stolen by a man by the name of Steele Black who, unknown to her, was the father of Dennis and Maize. Her father and Black were boy-friends. Her brother. Curly, and Maize had a very touching little romance. Of course, Dennis and she had an affair which predicted a happy ending. Mary Carey, a former acquaintance of John Rich, gained success as a dancing tea- cher. As a result, she changed her name to Mme. Caray'. She, too, with her troupe, was stranded at the Wise Hotel and added greatly to the entertainment of the marooned guests. To make a long story short everyone’s identity was revealed, which unraveled the entanglement of the affairs. Members of the cast were: Harold Frantz, Virginia Gilbert, Velma Heeter, Edward Gilbert, Lee Lefforge, Bette McClure, Walter Ahlfeld, Georgia Alice Ulmer, and Joe Metzger. AND IT RAINED Membership to the Mixed Chorus is open to any high school student. Our group includes ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth year students and numbers over fifty voices. This is an inspiring group with which to work. It includes both boys and girls clubs with other members added. The Mixed Chorus presented the operetta, “And It Rained,” the first semester. A select group from this organization without the Seniors furnished the music for Bacca- laureate services. MIXED CHORUS The members of these groups are chosen from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Although the clubs met only once a week, they worked up several numbers. To learn to blend several voices into a harmonious group has been the aim of all concerned. GIRLS’ BOYS' GLEE CLUBS The membership of this organization is made up of students from the sixth to the twelfth grades inclusive. Although the group is small, it is well balanced and has been working diligently. It has appeared in public twice this year, but will no doubt make more appearances before our year is over. We regret that we have to lose several of our members, but hope to go on and make progress in the coming year. Director ...................................... Miss Lois Ulmer ORCHESTRA OFFICERS Esther Haines Isabel Beery Imogene Hanley Virginia Gilbert Miss Lois Ulmer The Girl Reserves of Chester High School was organized in 1932 as a school org- anization and joined the National Organization of Girl Reserves in 1933. Each year the cabinet members and sponsor go on an outing to plan the program for the following year. They select inspiring speakers from whom the girls will profit. For our social year, several parties are planned which include our formal and informal initiation, Mother and Daughter meeting, and a joint meeting with the Hi-Y boys. Our aim and purpose is to sponsor each year a very worthy project to help those who have been less fortunate than we. The Girl Reserves is the only organization for the three upper grades of high school girls and so is enjoyed and appreciated by every girl who enters into it.

Milo Ulrey Sergeant-at-Arms _________________________ - — Leon Garber Secretary-Treasurer — Lee Lefforge Sponsor Mr. Shanahan The Hi-Y is a school organization closely related to the Y. M. C. A. and open to high school boys of the upper three grades. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y co-operates with all school activities and the Girl Reserve organization. Each year the club either has a best girl’s banquet, or else entertains the Hi-Y of a neighboring school. Hi-y 3 ) The purpose of the student council was to exchange values and relationships be- tween students and teachers; Mr. Shultz represented the teachers, and members of the student council represented students. Another purpose was to direct and administer cer- tain school activities. The organization introduced Junior Red Cross campaign into the school for the first time. They directed the nomination of yell leaders, the election being done by the entire student body. The planning and division of pep sessions was done by a committee of the student council members. Each class was to have charge of a pep session for the year, with the aid of Miss Adams and the yell leaders. The student coun- cil have also planned the class programs for the year, each class having two programs, one for class talent, and the other for outside talent. The following talent was piesent- ed: Manchester College Male Quartet, and College Troubadours, String Ensemble from Central, and Prof. Conkling. The class program consisted of music, readings, and short plays from members of the respective classes. The class president and a committee appointed by him were responsible for the program. Thus the student council represent- ing the students, trying to accomplish their best interests, is given a voice in the ad- ministration of the school activities. OFFICERS OF 1935 - 19.36 President Joe Metzger Secretary Helen Parker STUDENT COUNCIL The Chester Parent-Teachers’ Association is a unit of the national P. T. A. organi- zation. The prime purpose of the local unit, as well as that of the national one, is to serve as a medium of contact between the parents and the teachers who are actually directing the school activities. Through this contact a mutual understanding of home and school in reference to the best interests of the students is gained. The programs sponsored by the P. T. A. have not only furthered the spirit of cooperation, but have been educational and entertaining as well. This year the organization has had some very enjoyable and profitable meetings. In October, President Otho Winger of Manchester College gave an address on the Ind- ian history of Wabash County. The November meeting was a varied program of home talent sponsored by the parents and community clubs. Mr. Tom Peabody of North Manchester furnished the program for January by showing four reels of motion pic- tures, two on the Century of Progress and two comedy sketches. In March three one-act plays were presented by the three schools, Bippus, Clear Creek, and Chester. The Officers for this year were: President Walter Metzger Vice-President Elmer Gilbert Secretary - Treasurer Orpha Book P. T. A. 9 % ( 41 ) We are proud of the successful efforts put forth by our 4-H club members. In all their work these forward-looking: people are fulfilling: their motto, ‘‘Make the better best.” During the school vacation months, each club holds regular meetings. There the projects are discussed, and an entertainment is given by the members. With zestful zeal the girls and boys master their projects. By their fine work the members are showing that they are being qualified for better and more efficient men and women. Cooking, sewing, baking, canning, and health make up the girl’s projects. The boys clubs are ex- celling in potato growing and colt raising. Public exhibits are held at the close of the club season. Each entrant’s work is classified according to its quality, and prizes are awarded. 4H CLUBS DEBATE Affirmative Negative Helen Parker Eva Lois Zimpelmann Edward Gilbert Virginia Gilbert Joe Metzger Instructors ....-..............
