JACK ANSPAUGI-I EDITOR MARY MONROE BUSINESS MANAGER LOOKING DOWN ON EDUCATION AT CCHS As from the top of a mountain -of the upper-story window of a skyscraper-from the top of CCHS's main stairway, life and people are blended into a single thought: a picture teeming with activity and alive with youth- fulness. To present a prospective view of this panorama-our- selves and our times-have we concentrated our efforts. May this volume tend to preserve happy memories of us at work and at play--serious and light- hearted-but always fired with a desire to make CCHS tops in everything. 1 'Anf- .31 2 Q, E W' 4 Q5 W' -.H 1 Tv, as gkwf 9, -Km... . , :K 4-Q .' 7 Magi gli 'V 5 X H , gif?

But others find their work has only begun-there are band passages to be practiced and annual snaps to be taken. It is these people-the ones who are not afraid to put in a bit of overtime --who give CCHS a name and make it what it is. X1 Wx W,-14, 11 1 H QQ, gl 1 K x I - ar I I 'I ?

AND THE RECCRD CF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS As the word church refers not to the build- ing - or to the ritual - but to the worshippers themselves, so does the word school refer to the people, who in order to satisfy a continuing and pressing desire for knowledge and infor- mation, collect and exchange ideas and modes of thinking. .In such an affable atmosphere, with everyone eager to contribute and anxious to learn, one finds himself involuntarily in- creasing his intellectand broadening.his scope of vision. A qs 4, fe Def rg if? N 9' 9 TAXPAYERS REPRESENTATIVES Board of Education Representatives of the citizens of Columbia City, the School Board collaborates with the fac- ulty in deciding vital issues of the school. Mr. Paul Morsches presides over the meetings, while Mr. Lee Daniel makes records of the happenings and Mr. Fred Yontz balances the books. The board convenes every two weeks. The pleasant voice who answers over the phone, Superintendent's office is none other than Miss Marty Langohr, attendee emeritus of CCHS. Kept busy with Mr. Kerr's stenographic work, she nevertheless takes pride in managing the secondhand bookstore. With two of them graduates of CCHS the School Board feels quite at home at their bi- weekly meetings. At these sessions, they discuss with Superintendent Kerr the various problems that have most recently arisen and decide the course of action to be followed. Mr. Fred Yontz, the board member of longest standing, has served for fourteen years. Next is Mr. Lee Daniel who was re-elected this year after having served from 1931 to 1936. Com- pleting the board is Mr. Paul Morsches, who started worrying about the school's aiairs at the beginning of the 1939-1940 school year. 10 AND MODEL ADMINISTRATORS Superintendent Working behind a door labeled super- intendent, Mr. Arley G. Kerr capably and conscientiously oversees the stu- dents and their interests at CCHS. Fur- thermore he awes learnees with his frank theories of sociology. Assistant Principal Having returned from her year's absence due to an auto accident, Miss Bertha Thorn- burgh tries to keep Latin stu- dents from writing translations in their books and worries along with the debaters about compul- sory military training. Principal A-Call system. Ever ready to offer advice and counsel to questioning students, CCHS's superin- tendent, principal, and assistant principal personify the traits a good school teacher should possess. They are constantly alert and on the lookout for new ideas on how to make the school a better place in which to learn. ll In a newly-redecorated and very busi ness-like looking office, Principal Orla R Smiley chiefly delights in writing on the new multi-colored excuse blanks and making announcements over the Flash CCHS'S FACULTY METAMORPHOSIS The history teachers collect in Wil- son's second floor abode to get the latest low-down on who owns what. War-weary, Miss Berniece Carver tries to change the subject, but Mr. Wilfred Wilson and Miss Martha Baker, who also writes ex- cuses for Columbian Staff members, re- fuse to be diverted. Mr. Galen Wenger, having endured one more harassing seventh period rush, and Miss Marguerite Stultz, completely exhausted from keeping her senior lit class in hand, strike an easy pose and wonder how their sophomore lit classes will misinterpret Gareth and Lynette to- morrow. Miss Lois Paxson, looking very starchy in her freshly-laundered home ec uni- form, amazes the vocational agriculture teacher, Mr. Leon Alter, by telling him she has just read in a book that people once thought tomatoes, his favorite vege- table, were poison. After a grueling day of school, Mr. joseph Shull, science instructor, seeks the counsel of his wife, Mrs. Irene W. Shull, mathematics teacher, on a prob- lem with which an ardent physics stu- dent, delving into the mysteries of pul- leys and mechanical advantages, has stumped him. OCCASIONS IMPORTANT UNSKILLED TO EFFICIENT CCHS's three athletic coaches, Mr. Oris DeVol, Mr. Frank Petrick, and Mr. John Chapman, besides teach- ing health and safety, English, and shop, respectively, find time between classes to discuss necessary repairs to an antiquated, but still usable, softball. T his score to Morning, Noon, and Night, quoth Mr. Robert Welty, band director, calls for oboe alone in this spot! Mrs. Hazel Munns, who in the capacity of vocal instructor shares the band building with him, is too engrossed with problems arising from the Pina- fore to do aught but mutter, Yes, Miss Doris Stalcup, through pressing on the driver training car dual clutch and brake, and Miss Georgia Heal, her finger weary from typing time test stop- watch-punching, chat with faculty Artist Miss Treva Flora, who patiently and patriotically paints paper plates. Seventy-two in Forty-two Quality, If Not Quantity Since it first dawned upon Herodotus that a record of the doings of the world known at his time would be of interest to readers, man has found it profitable to look upon his past and to summarize the most outstanding events into a history. At first the task was one of no great difficulty. However, as the world moved forward, histories became thicker and thicker. It then seemed wise, instead of trying to condense all this infor- mation into a single work, to concentrate upon a certain idea or thought. As is true of all senior classes, CCHS's 1942 graduates experienced an eventful year. It was quite thrilling to find themselves president of this, editor of that, or captain of something else! Soon, however, the novelty of the newly acquired nomenclature wore off and the students realized the responsibility that went with the offices. Miss Carver, who followed the class through thick and thin for four years, and Mr. Wilson, drafted into sponsorship only this year, helped guide the class's decisions and policies. Upon a final check-up on their four years' work, Jack Anspaugh was chosen valedic- torian, and Robert Putman was awarded the salutatorian's post. Anspaugh's first love was the Columbian, and he was interested also in dramatics and music. Putman was president of the Booster Club and a member of HI-Y. As juniors, the class entertained the seniors fand themselves, alsoj with a reception at Lake Wawasee. This year, the graduates made final merriment at the junior-senior banquet and their own senior supper. May fourteenth and fifteenth the senior thespians presented a new comedy, Ever Since Eve. The production, centering around student life in Preston High School, util- ized a newly-acquired cyclorama curtain for the first time. Reverend Blake Franklin, of the local Baptist Church, delivered the baccalaureate sermon. Final thoughts of wisdom and guidance were set forth in the commencement address of Dr. Mertin Rice. Thus, facing a future looking not too bright, the class leaves CCHS with hopeful hearts and open minds. l? rv' ld ug 14 ' Will ri Home Ec President Jean Cul- lers, possessed plentifully of pul- chritude, dreamily awaits on the steps for a friend coming up the walk. Salutatorian Robert Putman likes one type of bookg Valedic- torian Jack Anspaugh prefers an- other. Having just taken some from the city library, they com- pare their choices. Against a temporary setting of trees and flowers, Margaret Sparling, Eugene Shepherd, and Mary Monroe block out business in Ever Since Eve. Eugene Shepherd, Jack Ans- paugh, and Verne Coolman, the masculine three quarters of the senior class officers, enjoy the spring sunshine, while they await Secretary Mary Fahl's arrival so they may discuss committees for class night. Looking very much as if they were in an authentic radio studio. Ann Turley, Harley Nelson, and Nina Pressler broadcast to the dramatic art students in the next room. Mr. Wenger handles the controls while Donna Thrasher and Glenn Frank comprise the studio audience. u A 4- , 5' hi 3.3!

Yes, after many years of patient waiting they could attend the reception. They're juniors! With Dick Barnes as their president, they had hopes Cas do all junior classesj of planning the biggest and best reception yet. Vice- President Jack Gates helped give suggestions: Secretary Margaret Fries recorded their progress. Treasurer Jean Rawley dutifully col- lected the dues and reported how much money had to be yet earned. Meanwhile, the class members represented the '43ers in various activities. The juniors had people quite active in speech and de- bateg one member received second in the McLallen finals. Many musically-inclined individuals sang in the choir or did their bit in the band. The boys upheld the class's prestige in athletic endeavors and the girls participated in the Home Ec Club and Sunshine So- ciety. The cakewalk in November added a cool and much-needed hun- dred to the bank roll. Then came December-the war-priorities - no tires! And it dawnedg the reception resources were very lim- ited. Heaven help them! Well, they may have been dismayed, but they weren't downed. It was a problem, but they came through. Now they're resting easy and looking forward to a year of senior privileges and being received by the class of '44 next year. Junior treasurer Rawley and pres- ident Barnes refuse to laugh at the latest pun of vice-president Gates. fWho thinks it was very funny.J Lois Keirn sports a dentifrice smile for the camera. The sun bothers Dick Gage, who H squints as he glances up from his printer's duties in the Eagle room. What am I doing in the junior snaps? laughingly questions senior Nina Pressler of Gail Snyder. Harley Nelson, wearing a cleverly-captioned jacket of self-invention, waits at the end of the walk for another convict. 22 Cathaline Adkins, Richard Al- len, Donald Bair, Phyllis Baker, Richard Barnes, Viola Binder, Thomas Blaugh.

NOW THEY'RE SOPHISTICATED SOPHSI Life may be just a bowl of cherries to some, but the sophomores prefer to liken it to an airplane flight. They were quite aware that the good things in life are not to be had just for the picking. Before he makes a flight a flier needs careful instruction at the controls and many hours of practice on the ground and in test Rights. This sophomore class takes to its wings in 1944. Their crew captain is Bob DePoyg his alternate, Marshall Jagger. Lucille Method handles the flight records, and Jean Travelbee counts the cash on hand. Principal Smiley and Miss Thornburgh are the engineers. Their test flights were made in many and varied fields. Speech interested many: four entered the McLallen contestg they had people in the Archer contest, forum, and three members on the varsity debate squad. Several are enthusiastic journalists and two are members of the Press Club. We also find them with music talents doing their flights in band and choir. Among their activities, the sophomores aid the seniors by dec- orating for commencement. The test flights have proved their adaptability and determina- tion. May the weather favor them when they get their wings. Bob DePoy, Marshall Jagger, Jean Travelbee, and Lucille Method, the sophomore class officers, choose committees for their cakewalk. Carefully trying to shift her weight at the exact moment, Mary Grant wears a Is that all right, Miss Stalcup? smile. Gaul, as a whole, translates Pat Gates. Is divided into four parts, finishes Marty Dan- iel. Here Miss Thomburgh in- trecedes: Three, Marcia, not four! Two parka-clad underclassmen, know but to God, approach another day of learning. 25 FRESHMEN NUMBER MORE THAN 100 As usual, a completely befuddled group of Ireshies invaded the halls-in fact, one hundred three of them caused many a snicker among faculty and upperclass- men with their humorous, but well-intended, actions. First came registration, which was a horror indeedg but with the help of the more learned, all were through this solemn task and learned that even freshmen aren't admitted without excuses. While Miss Paxson and Mr. Chapman followed the wandering wonders to be, Fred Flox guided them un- til March, when his departure from CCHS promoted Vice-president Hawley to the presidency. Eleanor Tanner kept their minutes and held honors Halloween Eve. Honest Dick Minear accounted for their pennies. Honors have already been marked up for these be- ginners in public speaking and athletics. Band has claimed a goodly number as also have SSS, Hi-Y, Eagle, and the Columbian staff. Bill Jellison CCHS s original and only sandwich- man, does his beaming bit toward the success of the Jinx jive. As representatives of their class, Fred Flox, Dick Hawley, Eleanor Tanner, and Dick Minear, convene on the steps to see how much they have toward 1944's reception. Figuratively speaking, the next is a good picture. Spring has evidently turned Bob Hickman and Woody Jones's fancies to the conventional thing, for they look wistfully at Janet Eberhart and Lois Jeanne Adams. fThis is a posed picture.j Bob Boyd, Bob Boyer, Evelyn Birch, janet Eberhart, Gardner Egner, Bob Emig, Lewis Far- ber, Jim Fisher, Beverly Hut- ton.

IS DEVELCPED IN ACTIVITIES Far afield from yesterday's outmoded readin', writin' and 'rithmetic, CCHS students today in various organizations gain practical experience in organizing and planning. Some learn to balance books and write receipts. Oth- ers, rehearsing their role for later life, learn to be good followers and intelligent backers. With co-operation as a keynote, they gain the last few yards to win the game-get through the first act without missing a line-or busily fin- ish the headline for the lead Eagle story. 0. Tifii 29 Over 300 students, both old and new, Began the year '41-'42. Clubs were organized, classes planned, For everything from home ec to band. The senior election was thrilling. Why? For the first time in history there was a tie. Shepherd o'er the seniors presides, Coolman in the Eagle room resides. LINES ABOUT I Oh muses of school and laughter and youth, Recall to me naught save the truth. Cause me to write of thrilling plays, Of stirring speeches, and happy days. Four new faces we did see Who were members of our faculty: Stalcup, Chapman, Welty, too, And Baker Who hailed from ol' Purdue. President Barnes the juniors vote,' Sophomore DePoy was in the same boat. Mid campaigning speeches from platform and box, The freshmen chose as their leader Fred F lox. N YOU AND FORTY-TWO In a very righteous mood- Desirous of mental food- We studied hard the Holy Book And all our evil ways forsook. The Halloween dance was a gala affair! The Music Makers first played there. Stevens was crowned and reigned su- preme O'er spooks and goblins that Halloween. Our football skill was unsurpassedg We won every game-but the very last. That was with Auburn-the title at stake, We yelled for a touchdown-but no such break! One night while all the students slept, A thief into the office crept. He broke the door, the safe he looted, Took a Shundred, and away he scooted. What was clever? What was witty? The dramatic art class's Arrival of Kitty! Make-up, properties, dramatis personae-- Loudly applauded by papa and mama. Many people came to hear The band's first concert of the year, The juniors' minds were put to restg Their cakewalk was a huge success. The Eagle, wishing for some photos, Added the Scholastic Rotos. When cheer leaders were put to test, Sabrosky and Nelson were chosen the best! Chicago drew historic attention- At Franklin was held the Press Conven- tion. Of actors at Bloomington there were a few, The debaters' conference was held at Purdue. Whims and fancies came and passed, In youthful minds ne'er doomed to last: Delicate girl in a lumberjack shirt And saddle shoes all covered with dirt. 32 AND MORE LINES ABOUT OUR TIMES . . When there came time for a big celebra- tion, We had two weeks for a Christmas vaca- tion. Preceeding that, by just a few days, Remember Pearl Harbor became a new phrase! Fatigued from trotting through hall after hall, Mr. Smiley installed the Flash-A Call. Now through the speaker he's heard to say, That concludes the announcements for today. Dances, this year, were quite the thing Among them was the Gridiron Swing! Many a lad escorted his girl To the Jinx jive and the Tourney Twirl. Now to be caught on the unaware, We quickly bounded down the stair! 'Twas not the fire bell we heeded, But air raid practice, greatly needed. When the alarm clock doth go off- The sky is dark-the pillow soft. But Central War Time's quite the thing! Oh come, sweet death, where is thy sting? Music lovers braved the ice To hear the choir concert-nice! And everyone did quite adore The music of the Pinafore! 3 R E. With many games both here and there Our basketball season was pretty fair. At the county tourney came the fun: There, a trophy the Eagles won! Our downfall came-oh, woe betide! In the sectional tournament at North Side. The game with Huntertown won us glory- But when we met South Side-there ends our story. In motoring skill we are gaining, Due to the course in driver training. By practice we attained our goal In a car equipped with dual control. Where is it poets softly sing A person's fancy turns in spring? To band-of course-the senior play- Festivities honoring the queen of May. The seniors, as of previous years, Moved an audience to joy and tears. Ever Since Eve revealed in three acts A mixture of humor, philosophy, facts. 34 LINES OF SCHCOL AND YCU . At graduation seniors find They've years of work and play behind. Looking back upon the past, They find, indeed-the die is cast. SCRIBBLE, PLEASEI We wracked our brains, but couldn't think Of any more verses that didn't stink- So we've left this space-Now, don't you laugh- For all your friends to autograph. The student body duly crams Prior to their final exams. Then bids adieu to one and all So long, kids-see you next fall! Boosters Back CCHS Activities First Row: J. Hoover, L. Downing, R. Put- man.

When tickets and the like are to be sold, one may perceive the Booster Club members ever on the spot. For them, this is only the beginning: at the football games, regardless of weather, they are johnny-on-the-spot to enthusiastic fans, ready with dogs, candy, and cokes. At the basketball games, stationed in the hall, they furnish like revivers. When basketball practice first begins, come basketball season ticket vendors, and down goes CCHS's bank account. Capturing first prize, Ver- lin jackson's credits amounted to S70. Lloyd Downing, second place winner, tallied a total sales of 530. L Y CCHS students have had the opportunity of hearing some outstanding talent at convocations sponsored by the Booster Club. Perhaps one of the most enjoyable was the appearance of George Lyons, harpist. Each year this club donates an honor blanket presented to a senior most outstanding in ath- letics. Co-sponsored by Miss Stultz and Miss Stalcup, and presided over by Bob Putman, the organiza- tion has enjoyed a very successful year. 36 Hi-Y Helps to Mold Character Easily discernible by their corduroy hats en masse the twenty-one Hi-Y boys have done much to help maintain high standards of char- acter in CCHS, for their expressed purpose is: To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Chris- tian character. As an annual event they do- nated two well filled baskets at the Christmas SSBSOH. The local Hi-Y chapter was organized in 1939 with twelve charter members and Mr. Alter as adviser. Eugene Shepherd presided over meet- ings this year, and in his absence Bob Watson filled the bill. Gail Snyder and Richard Barnes as secretary and treasurer completed the officer staff. The organization convened periodically every two weeks and at this time members and guests were invited to speak. Guest speakers this year have included Reverend Hooten and John Trip- coney speaking on the Relation of the Bible to Everyday Life and Navy Life at Great Lakes Naval Training Station, respectively. For diver- sion the club frequently held pot-luck suppers. Seated: F. Langohr, R. McKibbin, H. Nel- son, D. Johnston, D. Tenny, J. Moeller, R. w Watson, R. Karst. Standing: J. Manago, L. Downing, R.

No-not a bell hop, but the up and coming Sunshine Society, with its goal set toward sunshine, understanding, nobility, success, health, individualism, naturalness, and enthusiasm. The chosen leader for the year was Mary Fahl with her crew of workers: Edith Schrader, vice-president, Jean Travelbee, secretaryg Viola Ann Binder, treasurer, Patricia Loe, choristerg and Clariel Weikart, pianist. The girls were happily sponsored by Miss Flora, Mrs. Shull, and Miss Carver. This year the members have again tried to carry out their aims by sending scrapbooks to the Riley Hospital, by purchasing and dressing Christmas dolls for unfortunate children, and by decorating a Christmas tree for the high school. Discussion of the lives of Clara Barton, Molly Pitcher, Dolly Madison, and Edith Cavell, famous women in other wars, made for a series of interesting meetings. The Sunshiners helped to satisfy CCI-IS's sweet tooth each day by selling candy in the lower hall at noon. Besides making others happy the girls had fun at their parties and conventions. Commercialists Convene For Business and Pleasure Spending a year faced with few financial responsibilities due to cancellation of attendance of the Muncie typing contest for the dura- tion, the Commercial Club relaxed and enjoyed their freedom with a Christmas pot-luck dinner and ten-cent gift exchange-plus mistle- toe to add atmosphere, a chili supper after which initiation was held for all the year's new members, and parties at the lake and City Park. These skilled typists of forty words per minute and shorthand specialists of sixty words per minute chose Edith Schrader for their boss and Lois Trout and Verne Coolman as secretary and treas- urer, respectively. Meetings were held twice a month with five cents dues each six weeks for the nearly fifty members. Programs in keeping with commercial subjects were planned for the meetingsg on one occasion a playlet was given. The Commercial Club sponsored a movie and had two bake sales to defray miscellaneous expenses. Ten ambitious typists proved themselves to be good American citizens of both school and country by doing their bit for the local selective service board in the month of February. 39 FFA and Hoosiers Get BHSAA Crowns Potential male athletes of CCHS organized the Boys' High School Athletic Association under the directorship of Mr. Petrick and Mr. Rice. Two leagues were formed allowing each boy to compete with boys of his own ability. Competition was keen in the big league, with the title race be- tween the Buckeyes and the FFA team, the FFA proved victorious in the tournament. In the little league, the Little Farmers held the undisputed honor of first place. In the tournament, however, they were overthrown by the Hoosiers. With emphasis of physical fitness in our national defense program, the Boys' League has proved itself to be worthy of the time spent in games.

The local organization is a member of the Indiana League of High School Girls' Athletic Association. The fall activity for this organization was tennis, and although unfavorable weather conditions prevented finishing the tournament, a great deal of enjoyment was derived from this sport. During the winter months basketball games were played each Tuesday evening. When the weather permitted in the spring, outdoor activities were again resumed with an emphasis placed on archery, tennis, and softball. Also as a part of the program were unorganized activities- bowling, skating, hiking, and bicycling. A sportsmanship award is given annually. 40 E. Heinley irst Row: .

Boasting the largest enrollment since 1936, the twenty-six boys enrolled this year have experienced an eventful year. Feeling a need of replenishing our supply of natural game, they fathered one hundred eighty pheasants and twelve thousand baby bluegills until they were able to care for themselves in the wide open spaces. In the quail hover contest, sporting equipment prizes were awarded by the Conservation Club to the follow- ing energetic entries: Don Conrad, Paul Kessie, Harley Lemon, Glen Judd, and Don Christman. The FFA's league basketball team ended in top standing and captured the highest honors in the tour- nament. Led by Don Christman and Marshall Jagger and recorded and balanced by Paul Kessie and Don Con- rad, respectively, and under Mr. Alter's sponsorship, the club has worked toward its goal: to develop agri- cultural leadership, co-operation, and citizenship. 42 First Row: V.

To make happier, healthier homes, and bake a fine cake, the home economics students unite in the Home Economics Club. The thirty-five members elected jean Cullers as their president, Lucile Method, their secre- tary, and Gertrude Priddy, their treasurer. The first semester was spent in organization work, for the first time in a number of years the local organi- zation became a member of the National Home Eco- nomics Student Club, and it plans to send delegates to the state convention in Indianapolis next October. The second semester was donated to Red Cross sewing and knitting projects. For several weeks patri- otic high school girls gave their after supper hours on Thursday to similar projects. Not all is work, however. The club occasionally partys with the Future Farmers of America. High- lights on the social calendar were the old-fashioned hayride on Halloween, a Christmas party with ex- change of gifts, and a chili supper served from tables bedecked with lace and cupids on Valentine's Day. The Mother-Daughter banquet, an annual affair, is planned and served under Miss Paxson's careful super- vision. 43 Second Row: M. Morris- Third Row: Miss Paxson, Judd, B. Lehneke, L. Fourth Row: O.

The pleasure of writing articles and the thrill of seeing them in print really does get in one's bloodg that is not just the product of someone's imagination. Hard to explain, this atmosphere, like that of the small-town drug store, must be authentic and cannot be artificially duplicated. The smell of mimeograph ink and paste, the sound of busy typewriters, and the sight of students enjoying profitable experience all tend to make for a pro- fessional news room. These energetic journalists will probably not follow writing for their life work. Never again will the majority figure page lay-outs or write a lead paragraph using the five w's. However, the time spent is not in vain, and the experience gained is invaluable. The Press Club meetings only begin with re- freshments, for as the backbone of the school paper, they are called on to enact many tedious tasks and settle problems per hundred for the Friday special. This year eight scribes were awarded member- ship into the club. With only five members at the beginning of school, the organization grew to quite a sizeable group. Election of The Eagle editors, appointment of page editors, discussion of newspaper problems, sponsoring of the annual Eagle Party and the Press Club Banquet are a few examples of the work handled by these enthusiastic journalists. The club's high qualifications for membership proved a goal to work for by many ambitious writers. This has greatly increased the standards of writing, printing, and general production of the school's weekly, The Eagle. Seated: D. Barnes, M. Fahl, R. Eberhard, M, Sparling. Standing: V. Trier, J.

Manago Miss Baker This Columbian represents the struggles and joys of the combined efforts of the Columbian staff and their sorely-tired--but patient-spon- sor, Miss Baker. Through sweat and tears- dances, the Gridiron Swing and Jinx Jive, where students cast aside their superstitions, show, where CCHS's hidden talent was revealed, the fourteen young scribes were led and pushed by Editor Anspaugh and Business Manager Monroe. The Annual Board's activities serve a dual purpose-to entertain their public, and to raise money to pay the printer-age old nightmare of the staff. This year the Columbian staff was aided in raising the necessary money by dona- tions from interested persons in the community. Their co-operation was indeed greatly appreci- ated by everyone. Occasionally the group relaxed, one of those enjoyable moments was a weiner bake at Tri Lakes, another a potluck supper. From all these activities merges the finished product for CCI-IS's criticism and approval-The 1942 Columbian. 46 The Eagle Sc Nearly fifty journalistic-minded students joined The Eagle staff under Editor Coolman and Assistant Editor Roselyn Eberhard at the begin- ning of the school year. Besides the usual wor- ries of late assignments and last-minute rushes, the staff had the constant fear of paper shortage and rising prices, plus continual well-meant con- troversies with their fellow roommates, the An- nual Board. For the first time in its career The Eagle re- elected its editor. Also new was the merit system by which the rightful owners of merit pins could be determined. As per usual, special issues of The Eagle came off the press at Christmas time, for the county tourney, and April Fool's day. In January, The Eagle staff entertained itself at its annual party. Members were delighted by Verne Coolman and Vernon Trier's modeling of feminine apparel, while Eugene Shepherd clever- ly narrated the creations. Mary Monroe and Jack Anspaugh, in person of Russian duo-pian- ists, burlesqued Two Guitars. Despite the difficulties, both conventional and new, Mr. Wenger, the sponsor, worried the pub- lication into a first rate production. 47 DS SCI'lOOI News First Row: B. Strouse, G. Fries, L.

We Agree to Disagree On Tuesday evenings, thirty-two students gather in room sixteen to discuss such weighty subjects as the art of articulation, essential evidence, positive proof, and the pros and cons of military training. Yes, this serious shop talk is that of the Forum members being in- structed by their coach, Miss Bertha Thornburgh, on the vital issues of the day and expression of ideas in convincing arguments. A variety of speech activities are sponsored by this organization, namely, the humorous and dramatic declamation contests, panel discussions, and, of course, debating. Most important was the intra- mural debate tournament of early February. Two teams survived the stiff competition and emerged with four wins and no losses. They were an affirmative team of Mary Fahl and Marcia Daniel, with Pat Gates and Dewitt Phillips on the negation. Eighteen Forumsters enjoyed the hospitality of Purdue Univer- sity at their annual speech conference. Two representatives and one senator represented the Forum in the legislative assemblies. Also several debate teams were entered. One of the legislators, Pat Gates, was chosen as one of the ten best on the floor. Jean Rawley, Forum president, brought back oratorical laurels from the South Side oratorical contest: she won second place in the finals. Last year, the two speech awards, the Paul E. Riddick Award, and the Freshman-Sophomore Award went to Bill Erdmann and Jack Gates, respectively. -QW' First Row: P. Henderson, M. Grant, M. Daniel, B. Pugh, H. Truex. Second Row: R. Fahl, R.

The varsity teams arguing the question of mili- tary training on the affirmative were Dick Hawley and Jean Raw- ley, and Mary Fahl and Marcia Daniel. The con to this subject was supported by Pat Gates and Dewitt Phillips on one team and another composed of J ack Gates and Bob Fisher. Representing Columbia City in the sub-sectional, Hawley and Rawley, affirmative, and Gates and Fisher, negative, won but were not as fortunate against Concordia in the later sectional tournament. At the N. F. L. conference at Terre Haute three wins and three losses were registered by our teams: Fahl and Daniel on the affirma- tion and Gates and Phillips on the negation. These varsity debaters, coached by Miss Thornburgh, are a young squad, having one freshman and three sophomores. However, they represented Columbia City well in the tournaments and show prom- ise for the future. The state question this year was: Resolved, that as a permanent policy, every able-bodied male citizen in the United States shall be required to have one year full-time military training before reach- ing the present draft age. 49 CTSBI1 d For ATSUIFIS For debaters deluxe and advanced students in the art of arguing, Miss Thornburgh founded Columbia City's chapter of the National Forensic League in 1934, and since, it has grown to one of the top-ranking in Indiana. The society is honorary in nature and points for admittance may be attained by participation in speech con- tests with other schools. Several of these held this year were legislative assemblies, round table dis- cussions, inter-school debates, and oratorical work. A specified number of points must be earned for a student to become eligible, and de- grees are awarded for additional points won. Meetings are held once a month at the vari- ous homes of the members. Tireless workers for the organization are Coach Thornburgh, who acts as secretary, and Miss Carver, who gra- ciously acts as honorary member. Degrees of excellence have been awarded to Jean Rawley and Jack Gates, while Glenn Frank, Pat Gates, john Moeller, Dewitt Phil- lips, Dick Hawley, Bob Fisher, Mary Fahl, and Marcia Daniel have earned degrees of honor. Alice Shroyer, a new member this year, has the degree of merit. 'Sw First Row: M. Fahl A. Shroye'r M. Daniel P. Gates Miss Carver Second Row R. Fisher R. Hawley J. Gates D. Phillips G. Frank J.

I 1 With The Arrival oi Kitty, the dramatic art class not only amused a capacity audience but gained much practical ex- perience. The production was under Mr. Galen Wenger's general directorship. The play, a farce in three acts by Nor- man Lee Swartout, takes place at the Halcyon House in the Catskill Mountains. Bob Baxter CGene Shepherdj, college graduate and well- known athlete, is in love with Jane CAnn Turleyj, whose father made an eccentric will stating that his daughter should marry Benjamin Moore CVerne Coolmanj, a pomp- ous bachelor of forty who had once saved his life. William Winkler fjack Anspaughj, Jane's uncle and guardian, de- termined to force Jane into marrying Moore, takes her and her old maid aunt C Mary Monroej and maid CAnna Hawkj to this health resort, being run in the absence of the owner by the bellhop, Ting QGlenn Frankj and negro porter, Sam CVerlin Jacksonj. Baxter, in order to get even with Winkler, impersonates Kitty Benders fBetty Stevensj, an actress with whom Winkler is in love. Bob Qas Kittyj makes things so hot for Winkler that he finally consents to the marriage. The crisis comes when the real Kitty Benders arrives and catches Baxter at his game. The situation slowly unravels itself, and Bob and Jane, Winkler and Kitty, and Aunt jane and Moore Find themselves happily paired. EMM We Sal'-H12 0CC6I1 BIU2! Amusing an appreciative audience with the witty patter and delightful melodies of the inimit- able Gilbert and Sullivan, the vocal department, under Mrs. Munns's dtirection, produced the H. M. S. Pinafore on March 27. The story tells of a sailor, Ralph Rackstraw, fGail Snyderj who loves Josephine, QGertrude Priddyj the daughter of his commanding ofhcer, Captain Corcoran, CDale johnstonj. The Cap- tain, however, has been arranging a marriage be- tween Josephine and Sir joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, fEugene Shepherdj. The happy atmosphere on deck is marred only by the hinting of Buttercup QCatherine Youngj of a secret she is hiding and by the grumbling of Dick Deadeye CVernon Trierj. Sir joseph, ac- companied by his Cousin Hebe Qjane Stevensj and his other sisters, cousins, and aunts, arrives to inspect the ship. Meanwhile Dick Deadeye informs the Cap- tain of the planned elopement of Josephine and Ralph. When Sir Joseph learns of the elopement, he orders Ralph put in irons. Buttercup reveals her secret, which solves the whole difficulty. She confesses that many years ago she had charge of Ralph and the Captain when they were babies. She got them mixed upg this error is immediately rectified. The reversal of Ralph and the Captain permits Josephine to marry Ralph, and her father to marry Butter- cup. Sir Joseph marries Hebe. As a sculptor shapes a meaning- less mass of marble into an object of beauty, so the director of a band molds a delicate woodwind passage or a thunderous march from lite- less spots on sheets of paper. Welty Assumes Directorship Sixty Musicians, Under Mr Claiming to utilize the theories of an educator, as well as those of a band director, Mr. Robert Welty assumed directorship of the Columbia City High School band at the beginning of the school year. Mr. Welty, a graduate of DePauw, formerly helped direct the band activities of Elkhart High School. Very soon the local instrumentalists were or- ganized into a creditable marching unit, which helped arouse loyalty at home football games, and which also proved their patriotic principles by marching in the Fort Wayne Armistice Day parade. However, with the termination of the football season, the concert band began diligently to apply themselves to reattaining their symphonic qualities. After many hours of zealous practice, they displayed their talents in a concert the last of January. Jane Stevens was featured as saxo- phone soloist. Again on March first, they exposed local cit- izenry to the blood and thunder of Suppe's Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna Overture, as well as other well-received concert numbers. Trombonist Jack Peabody delighted the full house with a solo. In January, some thirty bandsters, anxious to gain musical experience, played under Mr. Wil- liam D. Revelli's baton at the Sturgis Band Clinic. A week later, locals listened to Revelli con- ducting his own band in a clinic at the University of Michigan. At a convocation program the first of Febru- ary, eleven graduating seniors were presented with band letters, bearing stripes signifying years of membership. 54 Robert Welty, Played at Games and Concerts FLUTE Lois Keirn Betty Miller Nancy Myers Patricia Smith Dorothy Fisher OBOE Phyllis Eberhard CLARINET Joseph Manago Mary Monroe Lois Trout Marilyn Magley Sue DeVine Phyllis Braddock Jean Amber Walter Quinn Richard Sausaman Bob Phillips Robert Hickman Woodfin Jones Jeanice Sharpe BASSOON Jack Anspaugh Elaine Dunn ALTO CLARINET Bonnetia Goudy Lois Jeanne Adams BASS CLARINET Miriam Cassaday Barbara Schinbeckler ALTO SAX Jane Stevens Patricia Gates Keith Dowell TENOR SAX Mary Fahl Phyllis Baker BARITONE SAX Dick Cearbaugh CORNET DeWitt Phillips Dick Lomax James Fisher Nelson Black Charles Travelbee Patricia Henderson Robert Emig FRENCH HORN Robert DePoy lnstrumentalists Enumerated Jean Travelbee Audrey Harris Carolyn Sparling TROMBONE Jack Peabody Philip Pinckley William Stamm Alan Obermiller BARITONE Richard Hawley Gordon Aker BASS James Johnston Dale Johnston Keith Schinbeckler PERCUSSION Robert Fisher Marcia Daniel Walter Ewigleben Dean Van Tilbury John Moeller Musicians Win Contest Honors Modern educators agree that music develops self-expression and a co-operative attitude in a student, CCI-IS's national cham- pionship band personilies this bit of child-psychology. Always exciting and interesting to band students are the spring contests. Forty-eight musicians played a solo or were in an en- semble at the district contests at Waterloo. Of the large number of entrants, twelve soloists and six ensembles returned with first place honors. The state solo and ensemble contest was held at But- ler on the eleventh of April, and the district and state band contests were held at Columbia City and Michigan City, respectively. Continually on the look-out for ways to improve the band, Mr. Welty negotiated the purchase of several new items of equipment for the organization. Probably the most interesting and profitable was the new recording machine. By having a person make a record of a certain passage, he offered some concrete proof of how well or how inartistically one played. The versatile machine also doubled as a record player, radio, and public address system. Aiming at a band completely equipped with recording basses, the music department purchased another shiny new Martin bass. The band also bought a new bass drum. Joe Manago, clarinetist, and the woodwind quartet appeared as guest soloists at the South Whitley Band's annual spring concert. Mr. Welty, in capacity of guest conductor, directed the South Whit- ley Band in a number. To provide an outlet for the average American youth's liking of swing music and to furnish an organization to play at school dances, Mr. Welty organized The Music Makers from the ranks of the band. Fred Langohr and Verlin Jackson collaborated in naming the band, which used Music Makers as its theme song. These swingsters played at the various dances and cakewalks for the nominal fee of ten dollars. This money was used to buy music, fronts, lights, and other necessary equipment. Often described as the universal language of mankind, music occupies an important position in the school curriculum. 56 Selected swingsters totaling thirteen captioned them- selves Music Makers and started out on a full-booked schedule to play for local entertainments of CCHS. With Welty withstraining any sudden and uncalled-for out- bursts of hot jive, the local jamsters swung forth on all popular favorites, both hot and smooth. The three crooners Ca new editionj were Snyder, Priddy and Shepherd. While Peabody and Pinckley slushed- pumped, Phillips and Lomax pushed valves. Stevens, Fahl, and Baker con- trolled the foghorns, and Manago mas- tered the Iioorice stick. Johnston's oom- pah-pahing, Fisher's skin-beating and Weikart's ivory-tickling kept the maes- tros on the down-beat. Clarinetists Monroe, D ev ine, and Trout vie with Oboist Eberhard to see which section can put out the most music. We wonder how Lois Adams and Bar- bara Schinbeckler, contrary to general rule, happened to be practicing this fourth period. Seen through a maze of instruments, Mr. Welty conducts the band in a Mon- day night rehearsal.

Harmony O CUITICUIUITI Songbirds of CCHS found occasion to give vent to their vocal inclinations in the choir and chorus, under Mrs. Munns's careful supervision this year. Twenty-four junior and senior students meet- ing three times a week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, made up the personnel of the choir, and thirty-two freshmen and sophomores were enrolled in chorus, Both groups worked on choral numbers with emphasis placed on solos and ensembles as well as group singing. Each semester officers were elected for the two organizations. Joe Manago served the choir as assistant director, while Judy Fry and Gertrude Priddy held the same position for the chorus. Merits were given for performing publicly and for attending extra re- hearsals. A pin is awarded to a graduating member who has accum- ulated twenty-five hundred merits. This combined group made their first public appearance in a concert in December. The program was varied in content, for it consisted of Christmas numbers as well as featuring a boys' quartet composed of Eugene Shepherd, Joe Manago, Gail Snyder, and Vernon Trier singing The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers and a trio composed of Helen Gipe, Bonita Gipe, and Jane Stevens singing Toyland. As a grand finale to a successful year, the choir and chorus pre- sented Gilbert and Sullivan's renowned opera H. M. S. Pinafore March twenty-seventh. Music for Baccalaureate services was also furnished by the choir. And The Choru as lt, Tool 59 ,gli 9 -Q 3 ,V '-'I : .' v 'v 'v-5' -v. J .

The definite upward climb observed in the sports program here has suddenly established this department as one of the foremost in the minds of the student body. Responsible for the prom- inency of active sports-football, basketball, and track-are the untiring lads who diligent- ly put in many hours of practice and the be- hind-the-scene artists, the coaching staff. O o J - fl f.J 4. XXX I: 61 2-Q:1 '? 3'if1 'I f' H - -1 7 i , Kara, ., . . Gridders Tie Auburn, Beat Portland, Garrett Recognized as a beneficial and body-building sport, football occupies an important place on Columbia City's athletic program. Boasting the best record in several seasons, the Columbia City Eagles lost but one game this year and finished second in the North Eastern Indiana Conference race. This season, the Columbia City turf men fought the Auburn Red Devils to a standstill at Auburn, September 12th, in their first game of the 1941 schedule. Undoubtedly the cleverest team the Eagles played all year, Coach Zeke Young's fleet backs and hard-hitting linemen held the Columbia City varsity to one touchdown, while they managed to put one over for themselves. The see-saw battle ended in a 6-6 tie. Portland, a new entry on the Columbia City schedule, was entirely outclassed 32-0 at the locals' field a week later. Still stinging from their 6-6 tie with Auburn, the Eagle eleven scored three quick touchdowns in the first quarter, thus eliminating all the dangers of defeat. The reserve squad saw considerable action in this game and continued to score at will. The Railroaders of Garrett provided somewhat stiffer opposi- tion for the Maroon gridders, but still were no match for Coach Petrick's football wisdom. Boasting a more experienced eleven, the local charges overpowered the young Blue squad for their first conference victory of the season. 62 Sept. Set p . Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct.

These lads, braving the unstable- ness of spring weather, don different colored jerseys and go after the game in a malicious manner. Dale Langohr, co-ankle-taper, looks after the squad leaving for practice, as a doting parent looks after junior on his way to school. Paul Redman, a look of determination on his face, plunges through the line. Carl Miller, remaining half of the trainer duo, makes a last-minute check- up before leaving on an athletic trip. Towels, tape, he mutters to himself, iodine: yes, everything is here. Plymouth, Bluffton , Decatur Trounced Plymouth was the next victim to suffer the Eagles' attack. Al- though they held their own by instituting a formidable defense the first half, the Columbia City players solved the problem. Coming back to score twenty-seven points in the last half, they completely overpowered the Plymouth lads. For their third NEIC game, Coach Petrick's men swamped Bluff- ton 32-0. The Tigers' offense was bottled by Columbia City, while the latter scored with ease throughout the encounter. As in the Portland game, the reserves were sent into action, still continuing to run rings around their opponents. Decatur was the fifth team to witness Columbia City's solid de- fensive wall when they were blacked out 19-0. Finding the going comparatively tough at the start of the duel, the locals came to their own and put on the pressure with three quick scores. This game placed the high-flying Eagles on top in conference ratings. 64 Central Tiedi Downed by Auburn Fighting a stubborn Fort Wayne Central B squad, the Marooners were fought to a tie, 6-6. Their opponents, consisting of both varsity and second string material, fought in vain to gain the upper hand and stop the ever- driving Eagle machine. This is the first time in several seasons that the CC eleven has not gone down before the deadly Tigers' attack. The final game of the season was a true heartbreaker for the boys of the local squad--those fellows who had always dreamed of winning a conference title for CCHS. The Columbia City Eagles and the Auburn Red Devils were fighting for first place in conference ratings, neither had lost a game and had battled each other to a tie the first game of the schedule. Both teams were at fever pitch for this final event, having looked forward to it all season -each was determined to win. Playing on a wet, sloppy field, both elevens were hindered in running and not too adept at ball handling. The hard-fighting Red Devils succeeded in sliding two touchdowns across the payoff stripe to the Eagles one-and there went the NEIC crown, 13-6. Displaying a stellar defense through- out their schedule, Columbia City held their opponents to five touchdowns and one point-after for the entire season. On the other side of the scoring bracket, the Eagles, coached by Mr. Frank Petrick and Mr. john Chapman, ran up a total of 154 points for the year. Next year's squad will have quite a foundation to build upon, for the varsity claimed one junior and three sopho- mores, as well as seven seniors. Seeming to rely upon quality and not quantity, the linemen averaged 170 pounds and the backfield, 165 pounds. FIRST ROW Ass't. Coach Chapman Coach DeVol V. Trier J. Redman B. Moog E. Shepherd D.

Co- lumbia City, like all the rest, is devoted to the greatest of Hoosier sports. The Eagle varsity netters, tying for first place in the NEIC race with Auburn and Hartford City, finished a fair season this year with eleven victories and ten defeats. Of the conference games, they captured four tilts and dropped two. County tourney results showed the locals, who won all their games with considerable ease, could outrun any of the teams on the Whitley circuit. The season's record shows some dismal upsets and also some cherished victories to the hard- wooders, credit. Suffering unexpected defeats from Ligonier, Pierceton, and Elmhurst, the Eagles brought back unpredicted victory from Huntington, Auburn, Decatur, Kendallville, and Garrett in thrilling episodes of good basketball. 66 SPORTLIGHTING THE DEVOL TOP TEN Finishing his second year as varsity forward this season, DICK GAGE, a junior, led the CCHS netters with a total of 199 points or an average of 9 points per game. His pretty shots were eagerly awaited when the Eagles needed a last- minute plunge for points. At the guard spots, two sophomores sprang into action this year. JOE RED- MAN had his initial year at the floor guard spot, while BEN GRANT exhib- ited fine defensive work. Both lads show promise for the future. BOB MCKIBBIN filled the center spot when a good substitute was needed. Using his height to a good advantage, McKibbin proved a real aid to Colum- bia City. DICK BARNES, despite his size, proved to be one of the most dependable men the Eagles had this year. When re- serve material was needed, it was usually Dick who was called upon to fill the bill. GENE SHEPHERD finished his last year of basketball this year. Holding down the other forward spot, he proved a sparkplug to the Eagles quintet and was always playing his hardest. VERNON TRIER, junior, got his chance to make good during the last few games this year. Result: he did make good, proving to be a fine player. He will probably fill a guard or forward position next year. D. Gage J. Redman B. McKibbin D. Barnes E. Shepherd V. Trier B. Grant V. Jackson B. Watson G. Roberts V. Jackson B. Moog ,fi . J Future Hardwooders Thoroughly enjoying themselves and gaining much valuable experience, the varsity netters of the future followed the Eagles wherever they went, playing the seconds of the scheduled schools. A final checkup on their games shows seven wins and twelve setbacks this season. They emerged as victors from the lively en- counters with South Whitley, Butler, Hartford City, Kendallville, Lagrange, Decatur, and Au- burn. However, as into each life some rain must fall, they suffered defeats from the seconds of Bluff- ton, Garrett, North Manchester, Coesse, Berne, Pierceton, Central, New Haven, Ligonier, Elm- hurst, Huntington, and Lebanon. Under Mr. John Chapman's careful guidance, they tallied a grand total of 371 points. This figures to an average of 19.5 points per game. Their opponents, making for a game average of 19.9 points, scored slightly more: 377 points. 68 FIRST ROW C. Miller, Mgr. E. Harris R. Kling E. Cline R. Cearbaugh SECOND ROW R. Fahl J. Gage R. Moog E. Hazen H. Ressler G. Roberts THIRD ROW Coach Chapman W. Jones C. Kling G. Sheets W. Stamm M. Heller J. Stough J. Fisher Coach DeVol M Serving as a reserve backguard for his second year was senior VERLIN JACKSON. Noticeable to the team next year will be the loss of Jackson's volatile disposition and steady guarding. BOB WATSON, veteran senior, was forced out of the starting line-up the latter part of the season due to a heart ailment. Up until that time he had been one of the outstanding players on the squad while holding down his center post. BILL MOOG and GEORGE ROBERTS were brought up from the second team roster and registered for the sectional tournament. As leading scorers on the second team, both will probably be varsity material next year. When Watson was forced out, it was VERNON JACKSON who took over the center position. A junior, Jackson filled the spot well and played nice basketball. 69 First Row: B. Burns, W jones, E. Shepherd, L Downing, V. Trier. Second Row: G. Hively, D Barnes, G. Roberts, B Grant, J.

Hurriedly dashing about the track and putting the shot between unpredictable outbursts of wind and rain, the CCHS thinlies prepared for a schedule with conventional opponents of the neighboring vicinity. Coaches DeVol and Chapman kibitzed from the sidelines as to which foot to put over the hurdle first and which finger to take over last. In their first meet the tracksters fared not-so-well, rating third with the other county teams. However, undaunted by this only aver- age start they concentrated on gathering together all their abilities in order to put forth their best opposition against Central of Fort Wayne, Chester Center, Pierceton, Albion, and Kendallville. They also journeyed to Garrett to compete in the conference track meet and to Fort Wayne for the sectional meet. AND APPLAUD HIM WHEN HE RUNS! 70 CCHS girls have this winter played volleyball and basketball as well as screamed and scratched to their heart's content. Under the direction of Miss Stalcup they selected six teams for volleyball and six for basketball and finished each sport with a tournament. Phyllis Baker's team won the volleyball tournament, defeating their rivals in a close contest. Captains of the other teams were Eberhard, Roberts, Riddick, M. Cullers, and E. Cullers. The basketball season was equally enjoyable, and the compe- tition was keen throughout. Whoopers, captained by P. Eberhard, nosed out Overdeer's team to win the GAA basketball crown. Regarding only enough rules of eti- quette to insure their own safety, CCHS girls really let their youthful vigor and girlish zest run free and unrestrained in their volley ball and basketball games. The weather permit- ting, they also enjoy tennis and archery at the athletic field. 71 AND NOW Don't be alarmed by the above pictureg it's only some annual board members enjoying a quiet nervous breakdown upon the completion of the 1942 Colum- bian. Considerable credit for this publication should go to those whose efforts made for its success. This Co- lumbian was planned and brought into a reality under the watchful eyes of the Indianapolis Engraving Com- pany. L. E. Pontius and Elvin Ortner risked life and limb fin a literal sense of the wordj to present pic- torial impressions of student life. The task of trans- ferring to paper the symbols and signs on the lay-out sheets was efficiently handled by the Howell-Goodwin Printing Company.
