As a means of acquainting the students and faculty with the activities and events that take place in Columbia High School, the Crimson and Gold Club was organized in 1931. The form of this publication altered gradually through the years. Columns, editorials, news articles, fea- tures, and headlines remain fundamentally the same, although some columns have been discon- tinued and new columns added. The personnel of the editorial and business staffs has naturally shifted, but their duties have stayed basically intact. Iournalistic and business training are two of the benefits obtained by the staff members, The staff, typists, and advisers, working together, have succeeded in making the Crimson and Gold popular and enjoyable reading material. -33- DRAMATIC CLUB ir i if OFFICERS IACK DIETRICH - President Shirley Zercher . . . . . .

The first form of dramatic presentation given by Columbia High School thespians was a senior class play. lt Won't Be Long Now and Adam and Eve were two of the earlier productions. The Dramatic Club, which originally was composed of thirty-six members from all classes of the high school, was organized in l934. lts first public appearance was in l'The Nativity Story, which was followed in later years by Skidding, The Bat, and The Kid. i'Tish, the most recent success, was given on November l4, l5, and 16, by our talented club. Well acted and directed, Tish proved to be a comedy with many variations of portrayal. The combined efforts ot the cast, director, and the various committees produced a play that will linger in the memory of everyone. -34-.

Their motto is To lace life squarely and their purpose in lite, 'lTo find and give the best. In l936 they began the custom ot distributing Christmas baskets and flowers to the needy ol Columbia and surrounding areas, Through the growth and popu- larity of the club, it became necessary in l938 to divide it into two groups, the Seniors and Iuniors. The following year brought the Candlelight Recognition Service which has been held annually in the various churches ol Columbia, The Queens Nite Dance, originating in the spring of l945, has served as a gala climax for the events of the school term.

Since its development, the Glee Club has grown to be one of the most active groups in school. Equally as important is the Freshman-Sophomore Chorus, which serves as a training ground for the Glee Club. This organization displayed much talent in an assembly program given for the students. The beauty of Christmas music Was shown in the Cantata, Glad Tidings of Great toy, The annual operetta, Melinka of Astrakhanf' offered a splendid view of the Russian ideals and customs. Both of these presentations were a great credit to everyone participating. ,39- BAND if if if OFFICERS lanet Myers . . . .... Band Manager Lamar Dixon 1 Librarians Fred Reinhart . . .

Colorful drills at football games, community concerts, and the annual band concert were demonstrations of the ability of this talented group. Since its organization in l934, the band has proven indispensable, Without it, the school would not have the musical influence which is so necessary to complete a Well-rounded educa- tional system.

Mr. Iohnson and his Royal Columbiansf' as the Dance Orchestra may rightfully be called, have jived through another year of hot and smooth rhythm. Playing at school dances, such as The Winter Waltz, and student assemblies, the orchestra proved itself a commendable ad- dition to our school program. This musical group reached the Hit Parade of the Bobby Soxers and music lovers ever since its birth in l943. lt not only entertained the student body, but gave the participant a glimpse into the field of music which is now prevalent throughout the country. The members attained the peak of perfection both by group practice and individual study. The public appearances of the Dance Orchestra were Well received because of endless rehearsals by the young musicians. Starting at the bottom of the ladder of extracurricular activities, the orchestra grew to be one of the most popular additions to our club circle. As all of its listeners will verify, it has been a faithful servant. D411 CRAFTSMEN'S CLUB i' 1' if OFFICERS RALPH KLOTZ - Foreman Bryson Laudenberger . . . Asst. Foreman Richard Myers . . . . . .

Since then it has been a form of entertainment that affords many thrills and a volume of suspense, Many first-rate teams have made their appearance under able direction of various coaches. Although the record of last years team points to three wins, one tie, and fivo losses, the l946 Crimson Tide has left behind it splendid achievements in good sportsmanship, fair play, fighting spirit and teamwork. Characterized by fine ball handling, hard, clean block- ing, and excellent deception, Mr, Pew's gridders have thrilled large crowds of spectators as they marched onward to victory or stub- bornly acknowledged defeat.

Beside these wins, the Crimson and Gold cagers also took five non-league games, estab- lishing a record of sixteen straight wins before being knocked off by Lancaster Catholic in the final game of the season, Coach Sweger, with a ten-man varsity squad, innovated a two-team system which worked well in almost all of the games. One team was made up exclusively of Senior boys, the other one of luniors. Both groups played equally well, relieving one another when signs of fatigue began showing or the individual group was having an off night. In most of the games the C. H, S. dribblers defeated their opponents by a comfortable score. Two of the narrowest squeaks were with Manor and Lititz where the margins were four and two points respectively. The three losses came at the very end of the season with Lancaster Catholic in a non-league game, East Hempfield in the county play-offs, and with Red Lion in the District Ill, Class A, P. 1. A. A. play-offs. The C. H. S. squad, under the leadership of Captain Donald Sholl, had a great, but also a fateful season. Five of this year's varsity men will be back on the court next year to take over the honors of county and district champions which were so coveted by the 1947 C. H, S. lighting squad.

The team, coached by Mr, Theodore Sheckart, went on to win sccond place in Section A standings. While displaying excellent form and thrilling their fans to the utmost, the group, composed of eight juniors and one senior, compiled a record of six wins and three losses. Among the games which will always be remembered for exciting moments, are the Manor game in which Columbia conceded defeat by the score of five to tour after a hard-fought contest, and the game with Quarryville which ended with the score of two to one, Columbia being on the long end ot the count. l -52- EARL HARRY lCaptuinl Cenier Field IOSEPH COPELAND First Base DONALD SHOLL Calcher LEWIS REINHART Shortstop PAUL BLETZ Pitcher - Third Base WILLIAM FRITZ Right Field LEROY BACHMAN Pitcher - Third Base FRED SAMPLE Lek Field IUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL l c.

Although the Columbia Iunior High School basketball team has not achieved their final goal, which was to win the Lancaster County Championship, these young boys have shown a good brand of ball in winning the honors of Section 1. While defeating their league opponents in seven out of eight games, the team has become the second in the last three seasons from Columbia to win sectional honors. Coach Sheckart had very few veteran players to form this year's squad, but he succeeded in building a good combination from the green candidates interested in the sport. The Iunior High boys opened their cam- paign by defeating East Donegal, a league competitor, and from then on, they only tasted defeat from Mt. loy in a league contest, and from a powerful Millersville squad in two non-league trays. With the section title in the bag and a final total of 9 wins and 3 losses, the championship team went to Manheim Township to play New Holland, the winner in Section 111. Although the local cagers led in score tor the first three quarters, the New Hollanders staged a last period rally which resulted in the loss of the game and the coveted county champion- ship for the Columbians. This fine group of boys showed great possibilities for varsity material in future years. Their hard, constant playing, their good sportsmanship, and their ability to make points when needed most, gave this courageous, although not highly publicized, team a record which is comparable to the splendid record set by the varsity squad. -54- INTRAMURALS 5 A .

Since its organization December 5, l94l, the Varsity C Club has been among our most impor- tant extracurricular activities and has done much toward the betterment ot sportsmanelike ideals. To become qualified for membership in this club a boy must be co-operative and athletic and have won his varsity C in any varsity sport. Fifteen new members, nine seniors and six juniors, were added to the club this year. in order to become a tull-fledged member of the sacred order of Varsity C'ers, the new candidates went through quite an extensive initiation, its special contributions to the Athletic Department this year were the purchase ot a new deep therapy lamp and a fully equipped first aid kit. During the season the club also took charge ot the football programs. The Varsity C Club is indeed a valuable addition to our school athletics. -56- 'N fix gm! 7T24z' Zaunion of Me dau of '47 The past ten years have been prosperous ones for the class of '47 as was evidenced at the first reunion, which was held on lune l2, l957, at the newly-erected Hotel Tattler, The establishment, located at Fifth and Pestnut Streets, is managed by Mr. Robert E.

My tale is a sad one. Do you want to hear it? One day while I was going about my busi- ness at Columbia High School, I heard a ter- rible commotion in the hall. As an excuse to see what was happening, I asked the teacher to allow me to leave the room for a drink. No sooner had I closed the door than a man in a white coat yelled, He's the one! The next instant he had me in a coat without sleeves and I was being put on a truck. I asked what was going on, but all the man who was sitting on top of me said was, You were found guilty of being a student at Co- lumbia High School so we're taking you to 'The Farm '. Since there was nothing I could do, I went quietly with him. About a month passed at the new school. It was about the same as at Columbia High. The buildings looked alikeg the windows had bars on them and the doors, bolts. All day long I sat in a room with a man who kept asking me questions. He wanted to know whether I was Napoleon or Washington. When I told him I was Duflop, he'd just get mad and send me back to my little room. A mari from the zoo came to The Farm one day. He went from room to room, but after looking at each person he'd say, Nopel When he got to my room he opened the door, took one look, and said, t'There he is! So to the zoo I went with him. Here they put me in a cage and all day long people came and gazed at me. Stare, stare, stare, that's all they did. One day my anger was beginning to get the better of me when my keeper and a man from the S. P, C. A, came to look at me. The S. P. C. A. man said I was unhappy in a cage for I never made faces at people or jumped from swing to swing. It was cruel, he thought, to keep me there, so after some arguing he took me away, We ar- rived in New York, boarded a ship, and went to Africa. When we disembarked in Africa, the man from the S. P. C. A. said, as he patted me on the head, Go my little friend, you'll be happy here with your own kind. Now, Africa isn't too bad a place in which to live. I have seen no people just like myself. It is just the monkeys and I. The climate is healthful, and there is plenty to eat. The only thing that is worrying me is my teacher back at C. H. S. who must be wondering where I am, After all, I left for just a little drink over six months ago.
