He said the signing Monday of free agent Kevin Stacom of the Boston Celtics, who will be his third guard, leaves only Rick Robey to complete the roster for Indiana's third season in the NBA. Stacom, 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, signed an un- disclosed, multi-year contract with the Pacers. He spent previous four years of his pro career with the Celtics and was highly recommended by Boston great John Havlicek. I've been in the pro game for 16 years and if Kevin Stacom can't play third in this league, no one can, Leonard said. In 55 games last season Stacom averaged 8.5 points in slightly more than 18 minutes of action per game. Leonard described Stacom as the ideal third guard.

S IDOHSOT Mr. Lawrence lohnston ..... .,.,.,. S DOYISOT Clangl Clang! For the first time this bell was to summon thirty-two eager pupils to their first-grade cl-ass room. At last these children were old enough to go to school and learn the things which in their childlike manner they were sure would qualify them to become President of the United States. Under the careful instruction of Miss Raber the class gained a good foun- dation upon which to base their later acquiring of knowledge. After the novelty of the changed life had worn off and it was discovered that school was a combination of work and play, instead of all play, these thirty-two spirited youngsters became resigned to their fates and determined to see what they could accomplish in the way of book learnin'. While we were in the lower grades, our class represented bumble bees, flowers, and various fairy land characters in operettas and other public per- formances. Later on the more important parts in the performances were por- trayed by the members of our class. Each year when the class picture was taken, there were new faces as well as those in the original class. Finally that time of great importance in our lives arrived, entering depart- mental. lt was such a new and exciting experience for the thirty-nine mem- bers in our class that we were at a loss to know what to do and where to go next. However, after the first few trying days were over, we became accus- tomed to our schedules and the school days passed smoothly and quickly. Many of our class entered the activities of chorus, dramatic art, the girls' basketball league, and the boys' basketball league. The greatest achievement of the choruses was the production and presen- tation of the operetta, Rumplestiltskin, under the direction of Mrs. Hazel Pitman Munns. In May, 1934, the class completed their grade school career with the grad- uation of sixty-seven students who found themselves eager to go on to high school and further their education. Beginning as the greenest Freshmen ever to roam the halls of C. C. H. S., the class, increased to ninety-two students, enthusiastically began to enter the field of activities. To be treated as individuals and to have many personal liberties was very pleasing to our ego. That year the choruses, including page twenty-nine THE COLUMBIAN 0001938 many freshmen, presented an operetta, M, S. Pinaforef' a means of gaining the much needed experience in taking the leading roles later on. Our Sophomoreyear saw greater confidence in our ability to go ahead, and we began to get a foothold in extra-curricular activities. It was in this year that the grade averages of our class showed a marked improve- ment which bolstered our courage and determination to strive on-'tNot finished, just begun. As Iuniors the value of our support was felt in band, debating, orchestra, choir, journalistic work, athletics, and the agricultural organization. Of the many accomplishments of our class that year the crowning achievement was the Iunior-Senior Reception held at Hotel Anthony in Fort Wayne. Last fall we returned to the familiar halls of C. C. H. S. with renewed inter- est. Fourteen members of our class entered the first grade together in 1926. Looked up to as leaders of many organizations we tried as best we could to fulfill our responsibilities. Even though we erred many times, we have bene- fited by our mistakes and hope we have contributed a mite to the glory and high standards of our Alma Mater. -Louva Smith OUR FIRST YEAR, l926-l927 First row: Katherine Merley, Louva Smith, Rosalind Hendrickson, Iohn Meier, Marjorie Meyers, Robert Gates, lanice Pence, Charles Clapham, Edgar Ferrey, lames Anderson.

Going up the steps of C. C. H. S. in rather aimless, yet eager fashion, were ninety-two Freshmen, who for the first time were entering those hal- lowed halls as students. Today that gay young fellow, l938, proudly watches the seventy-one re- maining of that group stalk with all their acquired dignity out into the world. As one looks more closely at this group of graduates, vital and important bits of information about their lives and past achievements in C. C. H. S. are found. Slightly over half of the seventy-one Seniors, thirty-seven to be exact, wear skirts. Fourteen have huffed and puffed in Columbia City's famed concert band, while three of these fourteen also have played in the orchestra. ln the choir eighteen voices, ranging from the booming basses to the shrill sopranos, were heard. Many of the important parts in The Marriage of Nannette were portrayed by members of the Class of '38 Four were in The Forum and held important offices in that organization. In addition three Senior debaters talked their way into the National Speech Tournament at Wooster, Ohio. Seven Senior boys pounded their way over the hardwood, nine tore up the turf on the football field, while still another ten donned the spiked shoes of the Cinder path. C. C. H. S. this year is also losing one of the world's greatest trainers, who has administered faithfully to the various needs of the athletic department. Fourteen furiously writing and printing Seniors beat the last period bell every Thursday afternoon to put out the news what is news paper, The Eagle. Six graduates served on the Annual Board and labored many long hours to publish that supreme triumph of journalism, the 1938 COLUMBIAN. Twenty-eight were on the roll of the Commercial Club, seven girls were in the Sunshine Society, the Home Economics Club, Future Farmers of America, and Booster Club each claimed five Seniors. Besides the thirty-seven different vocations in which the parents of the Seniors are represented, twenty-five students themselves hold positions, rang- ing from the milkman who goes to work at 2:00 o'clock in the morning to the dance band swingster who quits at about the same time. Thirty-eight started their existence in Whitley County, twenty-nine others were born in Indiana, while the remaining few uttered their first cries some- where in the territory between Ohio and Kansas. More birthdays are celebrated in November than in any other month of the year, for it claims ten. However, every other month is well represented. Although the majority of the Seniors have attended only Columbia City schools, two have struggled through the classes of ten institutions of learning. The tallest Senior would bump his head while going through a doorway that is six feet, three inches high, the shortest could safely take herself through a doorway slightly over five feet in height. The eldest in the class will be of voting age next year, but the youngest is leaving these sacred portals after barely turning seventeen. The heaviest can push the scales to the 205 pounds mark, while the teeny- weeniest girl barely tips the beams at 95 pounds. page thirty-one THE CQLUMBFAN 0041938 There is at least one big sole in the class belonging to a boy with size twelve shoes, on the other hand two girls manage to stay on their feet with size fours. Brown seems to be the favorite color of hair, for forty-nine Seniors claim to have it. The blondes run a poor second, with the redheads numbering three, and those with raven-colored locks a similar number. Twenty-three pairs of blue and nineteen pairs of brown eyes witness everyday happenings. Green, grey, and hazel eyes are also found among the Seniors. One person even claims to have black eyes lof course they may be merely temporaryl. Eighteen pairs of glasses add to our dignity and studious appearance. The political scramble is pretty evenly divided, there being twenty-eight doughty Democrats and twenty-seven rabid Republicans in the class. The rest sit on the fence with the exception of one who insists that he is a Liberalist. We are happy to state that no Communists nor Fascists can be found in our ranks. The earliest riser ushers in the day regularly at 2:30 in the morning, while several come to school still asleep and it is not known at exactly what time during the day they do awaken. Fifty claim that they have seen the clock make its full course of twenty-four hours, but we rather suspect that the list would have been considerably smaller before the last New Year's Eve. All but ten of the class swear that they can squeeze a horseless carriage down a street that is fairly wide. One girl has to walk to school clear across the street, while another comes only twenty miles to get her Readin', 'Ritin', and 'Rithrnetic Twenty Seniors say they have the good fortune to share the company of one of the opposite sex, but thirty nine insist they have the good fortune not to. One would-be Romeo claims that it is not a girl friend that he has, but girl friends. Only eight members of the class definitely state that they are not planning on getting married some time, but eleven other cynical observers call it doubtful. The Senior Class has seen its representatives in places from northern Canada to southern Florida, and in spots from the peaceful Pacific to stormy Germany. All but a few have had the thrill of riding in the well-known choo-choo, but only twenty have zipped around in a sky-buggy. Thirty-five hobbies have found their places among the members of the Class of '38, including everything from the collecting of perfume bottles to the col- lecting of cartoons. Swimming leads as the favorite sport, while the favorite movie couple con- sists of William Powell and Myrna Loy. Other cinema celebrities who have many admirers from the Seniors include Alice Faye and Walt Disney's Dopey. Girls was the favorite answer to the question, what is your pet peeve, but the two Sauers brothers ran a close race for second. The class can trace back its ancestry to such esteemed and noted characters as George Rogers Clark, Iames Monroe, Bluebeard, William Cullen Bryant, Commodore Perry, Iohn Hancock, Iohnny Appleseed, and others. Thirty plan to go on to some college or advanced school, while business am- bitions of the graduates are varied, ranging from radio announcing to aviation. Every student of the Class of '38 has now located his star in the sky and is rocketing toward it in the space ship of life with a good supply of the fuel of knowledge. However, with him each student carries the all-important bit of knowledge that although he is graduating from high school, he is Not fin- ished, just begun. -Phil Leininger. page thirty-two THE CGLUMBJAN N-91938 SALUTATORY PAUL E. RIDDICK The Class of 1938 salutes and bids welcome you who have assembled here during this, one of the few remaining hours in which we may yet call ourselves students of Columbia City High School. These exercises mark the close of twelve years of preparation-years which We no doubt shall find, when in the future we gaze retrospectively upon them, have been the most joyous of our entire lives. They have been happy years because we have tasted but little of life's hardships and of the bitterness of experience. As we make ready to enter upon the various paths which lie before us, we suddenly realize that we, who have been companions and classmates for so long a time, must part-perhaps forever, or perhaps only for a few short years. But in such a realization, it is gratifying to know that we shall always have the happy memories of these years of work and play together. Any grief will be short-lived, however, for now we stand ready to put to the practical test of a more complicated life the knowledge and information gained at the hands of our teachers. For some of us it will mean additional preparation under new and different conditions to which we must readily adapt ourselves. For others, it means the more hesitant and overwhelming step directly into the mad rush of the ever-changing world. Truly, it is not the end, but rather the embarking upon a greater adventure. We have not finished anything more than the preparation and are just be- ginning the search for the goals for which this preparation has fitted us. To all of you who have untiringly and unceasingly expended your efforts or have given us necessary encouragement these many years that we might at last know this hour, and who have come now to wish us well as we start upon our journey, we express our deepest gratitude. And so, upon this, for us, auspicious occasion, We extend to you our greetings and salutations. page thirty-three THE COLUMBQAN M1938 VALEDICTORY ROBERT GATES As the Class Night Exercises for the year 1938 draw to a close, there comes the time when we, the graduates of '38, must say Farewell to the faculty, our parents, and our friends. We have worked together for twelve years to attain this high goal, grad- uation, and now that we have reached it, we must start again to reach an- other goal and higher glory, not only for ourselves but for the teachers and parents and friends who have helped to make the first twelve years of our education so enjoyable and profitable. We wish to thank the teachers for their patient and energetic help at all times, and we want to add that this will never be forgotten. We also wish to thank our parents and our friends for their encourage- ment and aid, and for their guidance during these twelve years of study. We are now leaving this high school to venture into new fields and to take up new tasks-many of these to be our life's work. We are all leaving this school with regret because we loved the school and enjoyed working with the teachers. We are leaving with a feeling of pride that we have com- pleted our courses and with a feeling of joy that a new life opens before us. Still, deep in our hearts there is great sorrow at the thought of leaving the halls of C. C. H. S. Like those leaving Hawaii, who cast their leis on the waters and watch them drift slowly back to shore as a sign that they will return, so we, the class of l938, cast our thoughts back to you, so that as alumni we may re- turn to these halls again. In any country or in any part of the world, a parting word is always spoken when departure is taken. We might say 'laloha, or Farewell to thee. Sayonara, the lapanese farewell, might be given. We might say Auf Wiedersehenf' or Au Revoir. Any of these strengthens the bonds of friendship and draws us closer to those We leave behind. We mean it whole-heartedly when we say Sayonara - since it must be so. page thirty-four t HE COLUMBIAN M1938 lim Anderson in a thoughtful C??l mood . . . smiling hap- pily are Evelyn Shaw, Bernice Kneller, and Lorene Pfeiffer . . .

S. received as its annual shock, the class of '39, No matter what our class colors were that year, l'm sure We carried with us a slightly greenish hue. Somehow or other we all stumbled together and agreed upon these eminent persons as class officers: Maurice Corky Wolfe, Presi- dent, Garland Curly Iackson, Vice-president, Grace Gracie Ohki, Secre- tary, and George Didley Thomson, Treasurer. Then of course we never could have carried on that year without Mrs. Shull and Mr. Smiley as our class sponsors. One year ago C. C. H. S. had a Sophomore class. lt was the same old class of '39. This year was our second and we figured that We had learned what it was all about, but such things as geometry, world history, and Latin put a stop to that. Also this second year found more of us in extra-curricular activities than before. Miss Zirkle and Mr. Wilson were our class sponsors. Our of- ficers were Arthur Weepy Trier, Presidentg George UDidley Thomson, Vice- president, Ruth Mae Ruthy Walter, Secretary, and Betty Sheetsy Sheets, Treasurer. lust this last year several students of the class of '39 worked like troopers as we were all luniors, meaning that we had to stew up a reception for those who were about to bid us adieu fthe class of '38l. George Didley Thomson was President, Ruth Mae Ruth Walter was Treasurerg Norman Norm Irvine was Vice-president, Betty Betty Trout was Secretary. This year We picked as our class sponsors, Miss Long and Mr. Wilson. lf any one is reading this he will notice that the Treasurer is placed next to the President in the Iunior year. This was done because she had a very hard job. t Have you got your money for your class dues? No Bring it next week, will you please? l After three years of gruesome toil in which we have contributed scholars, athletes, public speakers, debaters, musicians, singers, et cetera, to the glory of C. C. H. S., we can now settle down to a very restful fourth year, for all We have to do is figure out a way to graduate. -lim Biddle page forty THE SUPHUHIUHES THE N5 Iames Ambrose Gwendolyn Barsh Anne Bayman Dessa Beard LaMar Betzner Dale Bitting Mable Blew lnez Boggs Mary lane Boggs Una Dell Bowman Donnabelle Buckles Treva Bump Donald Chapman Rosalie Cleland Doris Conrad Donald Coolman George Correa Fay Coverstone Ioy Crowell Marjorie Cullimore William Davis Maxine DePoy David Dilfendarfer Helen Egolf David Engle Maybelle Erne lack Evans Dorothy Fenker Lucille Fisher Saul Elox Rosella Fries Alberta Fry Elizabeth Fyfe Hugh Gaff Mary Alice Gates Mary Ellen Gillespie Eileen Gipe Roland Grable Lewis Gregg Allred Hawk Ruby Hearld Ieanette Heinley lmogene Heintzelman Annetta Herr Homer Hively Iunior Hively Iames Hull lca lnks Harold Iackson Dean Iohnson Dwight Iones Robert Iones page forty-two HE COLUMBFAN cw page forty-three Pauline Karst 7938 Margaret Keiser Harold Kikley Ioy Kneller Mary lane Kneller Vera Kneller Charlotte Krauter Betty Langohr William Langohr lean Leaman Vera Loe Keith Lundblad Robert Luckenbill Maxine McCurdy Mildred Meier Dean Miller Georgianna Miller Walter Mitchell Charlotte Moore Barbara Myers Elvin Ortner Mara Lee Osborn Betty Pence Iames Price Ellen Pence Paul Pressler Richard Ramp Ruby Ramsey Paul Rawley Eugene Redman Vivian Reider Noble Roth Marluize Schrader Paul Schrader Dorothy lane Schmitt Kathryn Schreiber lohn Secrist Mildred Snapp lack Shinneman Franklin Smith Phyllis Snyder Betty Souder Riola Taylor William Travelbee Iohn Vance Robert Trier Iohn Tripcony Betty Weston Robert Weston Lois Wigent Norma Wilhelm Marv Wolfe Robert Yontz THE CQLUMBIAN 0+-91938 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY lohn Secrist ,,...,.,A,.... ..,,,,,,,,,,, P resident Gwendolyn Barsh .,,,,,, ,,,,,A.

Sponsor Early in September, l936, Father Time brought another Freshman Class into Columbia City High School. This class, with an enrollment of l07, was the largest that he had escorted into the halls of C. C. H. S. for many a year. After a short period the greenhorns slowly ripened and developed until they had a full understanding of the situation. lt seems hard to imagine now that we were once that awkward group of freshies, because today we have become more accustomed to the habits of high school life. Looking back, however, we see many amusing incidents which were just cause for the ridicule given us by the upper classmen. Father Time is a great healer, and so with his cooperation We have tried to live down these blunders by ex- perience and application. Our Freshman Class attainments are now only a part of the living past, as we are striving onward in our search for glory and adventure. This year as the class of '40 finishes its Sophomore year, it can be seen that we have gained an even broader view by joining more of the many, varied activities. Already We are showing signs of strength in several of them. We have had many problems to solve and numerous tasks to fulfill, yet we have accomplished all the various assignments entrusted to us. We are justly proud of our current achievements, which have been won only through the hard work of individuals and the invincible spirit of the class as a whole. However, we are not content to rest on our laurels but shall let them serve as stepping stones to greater endeavors in the remaining school years ahead of us. -William Davis page forty-four 'Q fs ?

S ponsor On September 3, 1937, the good ship, Class of l94l, weighed anchor and set sail on a four year journey. There were 83 on board, all eager to venture into strange and unknown lands, yet still a little fearful at leaving the safe and familiar harbor of West Ward. We chose Walter Meyers as our cap- tain, Iune Walter, first mate, Ioan Strouse, second mate, and Harold Flox, purser. Admiral Smiley helped us chart our course and Commanders Carver and DeVol have sponsored and encouraged us. During the latter part of Ianuary we nearly encountered disaster on the rocky reefs known as Mid- Year Exams, but we managed to keep afloat. We have encountered some stormy waters, naturally, but for the most part it has been smooth sailing and lots of fun. We hope to reach our first landing place, Port Sophomore, without mishap. We are almost in sight of land now and alter reaching this harbor, our ship will lie in port for three rnonths. We will then set sail on the second lap ot our trip, Although many others have made the journey before us, we hope to set a record that will make our predecessors proud of us and will make those who follow us eager to embark on the same waters. And so our ship sails on and may we safely reach that haven where the beacon light shines bright- ly for us, Commencement l94l. -loan Strouse THE CLASS GE l942 Lenore Dear Iunior Erne Gerald Grable Dorothy Iones Paul Redman Glenn Schneider Ralph Schneider Genevieve Schoenauer Edith Schrader Katherine Sheets Evelyn Shroyer Gene Swartz Robert Travelbee Harold Walter page forty-eight HE COLUMBIAN L-w1938 Marjorie Cullimore and Una Dell Bowman, Sophomores . . .

He was strong on defense and was on the re- ceiving end of many passes. This was lliilisgast year on the gridiron for C. C. ARTHUR TRIER-- Art held down the other end position by virtue of his fine defensive and offensive ability. He had plenty of fight and the opposing backs seldom got around his end. He has one more year to fight for the Eagles. EDMON CRAMAH- Ed proved to be one of the strongest links in the for- ward wall. The enemy backs had dif- ficulty in finding a hole through his tackle position. Since Edmon is a Iun- ior he will be back again next year. WILLIAM HIATT- Bill is the big boy who came to this school from Etna. Although he had no previous experi- ence, he soon proved to Abe that he was capable of a regular berth in the line. His power at the tackle position will be missed next year. NELSON WINEBRENNER- Nel was an important cog in this year's football machine. He broke through the oppos- ing lines many times and spilled the backs for losses. Nei was a guard who played his last season of high school football this year. HM BIDDLE- Bid was one of the smallest players on the team, but the size of the opposite lineman meant nothing to him. He was in on every play and will be back next fall giving his all for the local team. B E page fifty-six AN 0001938 HE COLUM page fifty-seven B I AN M1938 ROBERT YOUNG-'lTex was the Very efficient snapper-backer on this year's football team. The bacl-:field did not worry about poor center Work because his passes were always swift and accurate. Tex has one more year in C. C. H. S. HM HULL- Butch was a reserve center who had plenty of fight. He could be depended upon to stop plays directed toward the center of the line, Butch will be good material for next year's team. ROBERT HURD-'lDale was our fiery field general who played every minute of every game. His fine defensive play in backing up the line stopped many hopefuls from making large gains. Captain Hurd has completed his football career in C. C. H. S. and will be greatly missed next year. HAROLD SECRlST4 Sec was a triple-threat halfback whose running, passing, and kicking were a great aid to the DeVolmen. Sec is only a Iunior and will be back next year to dazzle opponents with his fine play. PAUL PRESSLER- Pret was a Soph- omore who was as tough as any of the more experienced players. He broke up many offensive enemy threats and consistently ripped through the line for many long gains. HM ANDERSON- Andy was the hard driving fullback who could al- ways be depended upon for needed yardage. Although injuries kept him from completing the season, he was a valuable gridder. lim is lost by grad- uation this year. THE COLUM CLARENCE FAHI..- Cue-ball was a shifty halfback who threw passes with either arm. He gained much yardage for the Eagles and will be an important part of next seasons eleven. DALE SAUERS- Rocky did not get his real chance this year until Ander- son Was injured. He capably filled Iim's shoes and netted many extra yards with his great speed. Dale is another Senior. HERBERT FRY- Herb was a re- serve guard who always did his part when sent into the battle. He often stopped opposing ball carriers in their tracks. lt will be hard to find another player next year with as much fight as Herb possessed. BOB MILLER- Biz was a very ca- pable tackle who could always be called upon to bolster the forward wall. His size and grit made him a fine de- fensive player. Since Bob is another Senior we must bid good-bye to him. GERALD CRAMAR-l'Dutch was another reserve guard who saw much action. When he was sent into the game, Coach DeVol could feel assured of good line play by him. Dutch will be back next year to throw hopeful ground gainers for losses.

His pivot and tip-in shots scored many points for C. C. H. S. and he was the leading scorer of the season. Dan is a Senior. CLARENCE FAHL- Cue-ball was a clever forward who seemed unable to miss shots at the basket. He baffled many of his opponents with his clever dribbling and seemingly impossible shots. Fahl hails from the Iunior Class. HAROLD SECRIST- Sec was one of the scrappiest players on the team. From his forward position he made many baskets to aid the Eagles in win- ning games. Since Sec is a Iunior he will be back next year. ELBERT RICHARD- Elbie was the backguard on this year's edition to the C. C. H. S. basketball hall of fame. He was a wary player and the opponents found it difficult to get past him. Elbie is another graduating Senior. ROBERT HURD- Dale was a hard driving player who scored many points from his guard position. His defensive play and alertness made him one of the sparkplugs of the team, and so it is with great sorrow that we bid good- bye to him. page sixty HE COLUM page sixty-one B I AN ef-91938 PAUL PRESSLER- Pret was only a Sophomore, but he Won a position on the team by virtue of his ability to hit the basket and by his hard play. Be- cause he was always in the game giv- ing his all, he was a valuable asset to the team. PAUL ZUMBRUN- Zumie was a re- serve torward Who was strong on of- fense, always adding points to the Eagles' total. The basketball ability ot Paul will be greatly missed next year, as he is a Senior. HM ANDERSONA'lAndy proved to be a reliable substitute. He Was al- ways in the fight giving everything for the Eagles and could be depended upon to score several points when sent into the game. lim is another Senior. DALE SAUERS- Rocky was a re- serve Whom Coach DeVol called upon quite frequently. When sent into the game at a guard position, he always played a cool and deliberate game. Dale is lost via the graduation route. WILLIAM HIATT- Bill received his basketball training at Etna and came to Columbia City Where he put it into practice. He was a reserve who saw much action this year. Bill is another ufightin' Senior. THE CCS.,5Lit'VltiSf5:N vw 21938 Front row: N. Roberts, I. Shinncmazi, M, Wolfe, E. Redman. Back row: ll. Iackson, B.

' Treasurer Miss Bertha Thornburgh .................................... Sponsor Every Wednesday evening throughout the year sounds of heated argument escaped through the keyhole and under the door of Room l6, as the thirty- five members of the debate club held weekly parleys and discussed the pros and cons of unicameral legislatures. Proficiency in speaking was gained through open forum discussions, speeches both prepared and extemporaneous, debates, and by serving as chairmen at the various debates and at the county tournament. Two invita- tional tournaments, one at Fort Wayne and the other at Elkhart, were open to all debaters, and the C. C. Wranglers came home with a record which com- pared favorably with that made by any other school. Debating is not all work, however, and a party or two helped to relieve the monotony of just debating. The Christmas party and gift exchange, with the tree decorated by Bill Erdmann and Bob Iellison to suit their own taste, proved to the debaters, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that there is no negative argument on the proposition, Resolved, that there is a Santa Claus. The club membership included four Seniors, six Iuniors, eleven Sophomores and, last but not least, fourteen Freshmen, whose energy and enthusiasm will no doubt produce some good varsity teams in the future. THE DISCUSSION CONTEST Mary Alice Gates was our representative this year in the Discussion Contest sponsored by Indiana University. Mary Alice competed in the contest with representatives from six other schools. The subject for discussion was 'lThe Unicameral Legislature. page sixty-six THE COLUMBIAN C+-91938 l .

THE EAGLE STAFF The Eagle staff started work at the beginning of the year with a new spon- sor, Miss Long, who succeeded Mrs. Phillips as head of the staff. Paul Riddick and Ruth Roberts were editor and assistant editor respectively. For the first time the regular Weekly issue of The Eagle appeared as a three column paper. This style of make-up had been used before, but only as an experiment. The paper was adorned with new name-plates twice during the year. The credit for these goes to Eugene Moore. Many cartoons and illustrations were used in the various issues, these being made by the staffs artists. Under the editorship of Riddick nineteen papers were published, which included the Christmas edition printed in green and red. Ruth Roberts as editor, Louva Smith as assistant editor, and Betty Thomson as second assistant editor were the student leaders of the staff for the second semester. For the first time in the history of the Eagles publication a picture was printed. This picture of the Columbia City basketball team appeared on the front page of the special sectional tournament edition. An April Fool's Day special edition of the paper was published in which no true statements were printed. Wesley Malone acted as editor of this number, while Betty Thomson was assistant editor. Each class in high school had several members on the staff. There were approximately fifty working on the publication this year. The Eagle is printed for the purpose of keeping the pupils informed of the happenings of the school and also to give those interested in journalism practical experience. page seventy THE COLUMBHAN ew 1938 Front row: lim Biddle, Charlotte Krauter, Betty Thomson, Grace Ohki, Iosephine Langohr, Edgar Ferrey.

The purpose of this society is to honor those members of The Eagle staff who have done efficient work during the year, to publish The Eagle each week, to further interest in journalism, and to meet socially together. This year under the guidance of Miss Long the club of twenty-three members has completed a very successful year. Two gala dances, The Pilgrim Dance and The Tourney Twirl, have been sponsored by the society. The proceeds of these dances were applied to the buying of a new typewriter for use in the Eagle room. The society sent five members as representatives of this high school, to the Fifth Annual Conference of the National Mimeograph Association, held at Central Normal College at Danville, Indiana, November l3, 1937. The annual banquet of the society was held the second week in May. At this banquet new members were initiated into the Quill and Scroll Society. New members of Press Club must receive the unanimous vote of the entire society before they are admitted into the club, which meets every three weeks.

Membership is open to any student enrolled in the department or to Seniors who have been mem- bers of the Club. This year's program included a Wiener roast and party with the F. F. A., and fall costume, Christmas, and Easter parties. ln May open house for families was held. This included a dress revue, an exhibition of home projects, hobbies, and made-over garments. Also eighteen club members attended the Home Activities Day at Ball State Teachers' College in April. The department has purchased about 275 books which are checked out by the club members from the school library as needed. Each year one or two new or revised sets of books have been added to the library. ln addition this year new equipment has been added to the department from funds made from cake-walks and from serving dinners. The kitchen has been redecorated and is now equipped with modern equipment and accessories. The Home Economics Department, under the Smith-Hughes Vocational Plan, offers a three year course. The Freshmen take general home economics and biology, Upper class students may alternate second and third year courses, which include advanced foods and clothing, home nursing, home management, and related art. During the summer 4l-l Club projects are carried on at the school. Geor- giana Miller will represent the Fort Wayne district at the state 4H demonstra- tion contest at Lafayette in lune, while Vera Kneller, a member of the Thorn- creek 4l-l Club, will compete in the state food preparation judging contest. page seventy-two THE COLUMBIAN M1938 Front row: Ralph Cooperrider, Iames Ambrose, David Engle.

A. is a national organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture in public high schools. This organization affords an excellent opportunity to teach vocational students some of the fundamental principles of group leadership. Boys are taught how to conduct their own meetings and how to do things in an organized way. Activities such as livestock judging contests, conservation, and community service projects among different schools in the state are being taken over by this student organization. The purposes of the organization are: To develop competent, aggressive, rural and agricultural leadership. All activities un- dertaken by the chapter are the result of its own planning. Members are encouraged to assume responsibility in order that they may be able to carry the burden of leadership that falls upon the shoulders of local leaders in every rural community. To strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work. Suitable awards are made to those individuals and groups proving especially capable and worthy of recog- nition in chapter work, To create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations. To create and nurture a love of country life. To improve the rural home and its surroundings. To encourage cooperative etiort among students of vocational agriculture. To promote thrift among its members through establishment of savings accounts and in- vestments in agricultural enterprises. To promote and improve scholarship. High standards of classroom and supervised farming achievement are demanded of members who expect to advance from one degree to another. To encourage among its members organized recreational activities such as father and son banquets, summer camps, picnics, basketball teams, and local and state iudging contests. To supplement the regular instructions offered to students. The F. F. A. becomes a self teaching device because the boy-initiated and boy-directed activities included in the pro- gram of Work provide a wealth of practical experience, page seventy-three THE CGLUMBFAN vw 7938 Front row: Mardelle Zumbrun, Grace Ohki, Rosalind Hendrickson, Grace Mango, Edith Put- man, Ruby Jagger, Katherine Merley, Ruth Crowell, Betty Ward, Iosephine Langohr, Betty Weston, Evelyn Shaw, Wilma Cox.

These are the familiar pleadings of the Booster Club. This organization was first started in 1930. Since that time the group of elected high school students has developed into a very influential and important organization. The first Booster Club consisted of twelve students, whereas now, the original membership has been increased by three. The Seniors have six members, Iuniors iour, Sophomores three, and Freshmen two. The president of the organization is responsible for all its meetings as the club does not have a regular meeting time. Since 1930 the following students have been president of the Booster Club: 1930-31, Wanda Walter, 1931-32, Wanda Walter, 1932-33, Harry Travelbee, 1933-34, Bill Thomson, 1934-35, Don Helfrick, 1935-36, Mary loan DeVol, 1936-37, Bob DeMoney. The sponsors are elected by the group from the teachers most interested in this line of work, their duties being to guide the president. With the exception of two years there have been two teachers to fill this position. The following are those teachers who have been sponsors since the organization of the club: 1930-31, Miss McConnell and Mr. Wilson, 1931- 32, Miss Flora and Mrs. Shull, 1932-33, Mrs. Shull and Mrs. Sanders, 1933-34, Miss Stultz, 1934-35, Miss Stultz, 1935-36, Miss Stultz and Miss Maurer, 1936-37, Miss Stultz and Miss Zirkle. The work of the Booster Club consists of the planning of pep meetings, decorating for school contests, selling refreshments at games, and aiding in any school activity which asks assistance. Each member has charge of one pep meeting. The money which is made is used for various school activities, the Columbian, the athletic awards, and to aid in presenting worthwhile convocation programs. lt has been possible, through the cooperation and good will of the faculty as well as the student body, for the Booster Club to sponsor a successful program each year. It will be possible for this club to reach even greater heights if every member of C, C. H. S. will re- spond readily. lt is the Booster Club which can write and strengthen the school spirit and bolster the team.
