MINSER, Trustee The Senior class of '37 pays special tribute to the Administrators of the School, and especially to our Principal and Trustee-Mr. Stump and Mr. Minser. Seldom does a school and its Senior Class have the fortune to be guided by two such understanding men. Both have done much for us, and we do appreciate it. We have had our schedule adapted to the class. We have been given good equipment. We have been permitted to have those activities that have been good for us and our school. We hope future classes will be equally fortunate, and hope that these few words will somewhat pay our debt to them. l6l E1 E1 THE CONCORDIAN 1937 .Slenior Cl6l!61Zli6l1 CLASS OFFICERS President ---- james Marvel Vice President - H Gerald Richwine Secretary - - - Ilalz Stutsman Treasurer - Doris Bickel ENROLLMENT 30 CLASS MOTTO '4We Came, We Saw, We Conquerecln CLASS FLOWER Violets CLASS COLORS Blue and Gold CALENDAR Class Play ---- Dec. 16-17 Class Day - - - April 30 Iunlor-Senior Banquet - May 1 Baccalaureate - - May 2 Commencement - May 7 Alumni Banquet - - May 8 l7l lj , ...,.... EI THE CONCORDIAN 1937 Senior Hzkffory FOUR YEARS OF MILITARY SERVICE ln the fall of 1933 a new regiment of Minute Men entered the Concord Camps. Mr. Kendall was Captain: our Hrst lieutenant Dale Martin: second lieutenant Vernon Bontragerg and Marjorie Schalliol was elected guard of the records and funds. As we wanted no flies on our captain the Algebra class presented Captain Ken- dall with a fly-swatter, which was received with a flowery speech of gratitude, The regiment that was in service a year ahead of us gave us a party, after which we' were r-equested to wear green badges as there was nothing green about our regi- ment except Kenny, We soon left training again to enjoy an April Fool party in First Lieutenant Martin's quarters. Then to finish our first year of training in good humor we went to the little creek behind camp and had a weiner roast. During this year and the followng summer we were sorry to have Clayton Ash- ley, Evelyn Barker, Edward Canen, Dewey Gongwer, Carol Miller, Lester Nead, Morris Pletcher, Robert Polmater, Mahlon Swigart, Robert Sperow, and Carol Hartman leave our ranks. During the second year of service Mr. Myers and Mr. Kindig were- our Captainsp Donald Hayden first lieutenantg Dale Martin second lieutenantp and Esther Burkholder guarded the records and funds. In September we initiated the new reglment, We soon broke ranks again and invited the whole camp membership to a roller skating party, which was a grand success. After Christmas we took some more time off and had a party in Grace SInith's quarters. 'l his was given by the losing side of a Christmas seal sale cont-est. One afternoon we presented the play Two Crooks and a Lady before the Camp. It was given later in the limtown Camp. We regret to say that during this year and the following summer Mable Over- holt, Louise Puterbaugh, Gwendolyn Shriver, Evelyn Whiteman, Saxon Upp, and Robert Iohnson left our ranks, After a summers vacation we came back to camp in fresh uniforms of enthusiasm. Mrs, Stump was our Captaing Iohn Whittington first lieutenantg Richard H-elminger second lieutenant, Gerald Bowers kept our records and Doris Bickel took care of our funds. On one of our marches we decided to go on roll-er skates and invited the rest of the camp and Alumni to join us. Then Donna Belle Whisler invited us to her quar- ters for a little' Halloween fun. We presented the comedy Pulling the Curtain for the camp and community, then at the Little Theater. To close the year in good style we prepared the Iunior-Senior reception for the regiment ahead of us, after which we went to see The Trail of the Lonesome Pine. During this year and the' following summer Esther Burkhol-der, George Chilcote, Donald Hayden, Robert Fay, and Victor Wriggley left our camp, As we started out on our fourth year of training we were under the command of Captain Duker. lames Marve'l was first lieutenant: Iohn Whittington second lieuten- ant, llah Stutsman kept the records and Doris Bickel guarded the funds. Gerald Richwine and Dale Martin supervised the Arsenal. We' had several parties during this last year. We again had a roller skating party, Then we went to Donna Bell's quarters again for a scavenger hunt. We also ran in unexpectedly on Doris Bickel for a birthday surprise an-d later we met for a grand time at the quarters of lane Rieth. We presented with great success Dangerous Men for all of those interested. During this year Ioe Welker left us. With flags raised we look to Graduation as our command to start in the battles of life. l8l EI E, .. THE CONCORDIAN 1937 . .. .. IAMES A.

THE CONCORDIAN 1937-1--H--'- Citizenrlagb Cup Award Gerald Riclzwine Grace Smith Each year two Seniors are elected by the upper three grad-es of the School for the Citizenship Cup Award. One of these must be a boy, and the other a girl, While that is what we say here in school, the one Must be a Man and other Must be a Lady. The student body fe-els that their selection was made upon those credentials and more too. Regardless of the characteristics that won them this honor, we pay tribute to them. Perhaps no higher praise can be given, than to say that the very nature of both these students made them willing to always surrender their own beliefs in order that class harmony might prevail. Gerald and Grace were awarded for this high standing by having their names en- graved on the Citizenship Cup. This honor, as we have said, comes only to those students who are able to pass in the following eight tests: 1. A good Concord Citizen is loyal to his school, his fellow students, and his class. 2. A good Concord Citizen is fair. 3. A good Concord Citizen is courageous. 4, A good Concord Citizen is intelligent, 5. A good Concord Citizen is courteous. 6. A good Concord Citizen is popular with his classmates, members of other classes, and members of the faculty. 7. A good Concord Citizen has many interests, 8, A good Concord Citizen is co-operative. l12l E1 El THE CONCORDIAN 1937 7 wiures E1 Sl ----1' THE CONCORDIAN 1937 ---H -' funior Clam Mrs. Stump, Sponsor First Row-John Goodwin, Howard Groves, Morris Ruch, Benjamin Kirts, Robert Ful- mer, Roy Thornton, Harold Yunker.

The most important event of the year was presenting Mr. Myers with bird cards for laboratory use. This year we chose Mr. Myers as our sponsor. Our officers, listed above, and our Sponsor have made this a most pleasant year. At the- beginning of the year we welcomed the Freshmen into high school by giving them an initiation party. Our class is very much interested in music and basket-ball. Sixteen of the' mem- bers of our class took active' part in music activities and seven boys were in basket- ball. We are also proud that two of the girls are on the yelling squad. We appreciated the co-operation which Mr. Myers gave us and we sincerely hope that he has enjoyed working with us this past year. l15l E1 .... . .

As this was the first time on a ship and our first voyage, the sailors of one year's experience gave us an Initiation Party, at which we were nearly wrecked. As the time grew near Christmas, we drew names and had a party for the ex- changing of our gifts. Later, to show our appreciation for the party the sailors of one year's experience gave us, we gave them a party in the gymnasium on the lower deck, at which we all had an enjoyable time, l16l El .... ....

While the mem- bership this year was limited to just students in the Senior High School, it had an enf rollment of 39. Meetings were held every Wednesday during the activities period with the Sponsor, Mr. Kreider. Mr, Kreider and other teachers addressed the club during the year. The club had a number of projects in mind at the first of the year, some were carried out and some were not, The club boosted the activities of the school and had a bus chartered to drive to all the Basket-ball games. This was a great help to all the students and also the club members, One of the main projects that was carried out was the purchasing of jackets and penants, which helped the Boosters to keep up the fighting spirit they have tried to maintain. The club also had a clean up day on one of the warmer days. The members cleared up all the waste paper that was lodged among the bushes. It really looked better when you could see the grass again. More power to the Booster Club and their Sponsor next year. l 15 l Li Fl - HH THE CONCORDIAN 1937 -H---H Sczknce Club Mr. Myers, Sponsor First Row-Clara Gongwer, Lois Eckhart, Phyllis Herrli, Betty Oetting, Fay Willsey, Dorothy Doty.

The purpose of the Science club is to stimulate interest in the field of both Bio- logical and Physical Sciences. The programs are of great variety in order to attract the varied interests of the members. The biological phase of science is stressed more than the physical, since this type of work is more adaptable to young students. This year the club, as well as the members of the Biology class, are clinching the year's work with a trip to the Field Museum , Shedd Aquarium and The Plane- tarium in Chicago.

For the first year of this club we started out with the following as our leaders: Romain Sayger - - - President lean Fager - Vice President Bernice Smith - - - Secretary Rosemary Sayger - - - Treasurer The club followed along the lines similar to regular classes. The club met each Monday and after a short business session, the period was spent in writing. During the year we had several discussions on Penmanship by the members of the club and faculty. For the first year of the club we had 31 members. We, as members, think we have accomplished many line' points along the lines of good penmanship and next year we hope to see this club at the top in membership. i221 gg - ....-.-------- I3 - THE CONCORDIAN 1937 ---'HH Kinitting Club Miss Light, Sponsor First Row-Earlene Thornton, C-harlene Thornton, Phyllis Herrli, Lois Eckhart, Vir- ginia Cooper, Oletta Mullin, Lillian Lienhart, Kail Kathemagus, Paige Paulson.

With two years of knitting experience behind us, we proudly present to you what we think are some very smart creations in knitted fashions. Very clever and original patterns have been worked out by the girls in lacy sweaters, comfy bed- room slippers, dashing scarfs, and chic hats. Several smart suits have won much acclaim and praise from the knitting fans. The enthusiasm for knitting is great, enabling the formation of two clubs, one on Tuesday, the other on Thursday. We invite you to inspect the results of this delightful and creative hobby. Officers of the club were: President, Ellen Kiley Sec.-Treas., Doris Bickel. l23l U El THE CONCORDIAN 1937 -f--- Hi-Y Club Rev.

The Hi-Y is a brother society of the Sunshine. Some day we hope to have it as well established. We have a good start with the nearly 25 membership. Come on boys, let's make this one of the largest boy's clubs in the school. 12411 EI EI THE coNcoRDlAN 1937 W7estlz'ng Club Mr. Kreider, Coach First RowkDonald Weaver, Marvis Gibson, Donald Shaw, Devon Alexander, Robert Fager, Robert Sponseller, Frederick Forrest.

We suppose they figure that you can't make too many plans for the future. In their club they discussed clothing for boys and the pressing of their trousers. Then they prepared things that took only about thirty minutes to prepare, as soups, cocoa, bacon and eggs, and salads. Also they ar-e planning to prepare a luncheon before the year is over. We wouldnt mind an invitation, boys. But if we don't get one, we'll be eating your food the expensive Way later in the hotels. P513 ttf!

One of the most delightful Senior Plays presented in the County during the' school year was our own Senior play Dangerous Men. The play was presented through the permission of the Northwestern Press. While more humorous plays have been given, none have carried lines that permitted such heavy individual parts, Only by feeling the parts could the cast have given two such fine performances. Both presentations drew capacity houses. The Senior Class will long remember Dangerous Men, a story of two maid sisters, some college pranksters, and a rounded cast of normal small-town citizens. Plays so true to human nature' will always be welcomed and remembered, 1321 E1 ---'+------ FJ 'HHH THE CONCORDIAN 1937 HHH' funior Play Mrs. Stump, Sponsor Left to Right-Ruth Stutsman, Richard Miller, Theda Showalter, Josephine Stickel, Robert Fulrner, Morris Ruch, Mary Housour, Phyllis Jean O'Brien, John Good- win, Elizabeth Barringer, Mrs. Stump, Sponsor, Josie Beaudette. The Iunior class play, Mama's Baby Boy, under the direction of the class Sponsor, Mrs. Stump, was presented February 23 and 24, Both presentations drew a large and enthusiastic audience. The play was a three act comedy by Charles George. It was a story based on the eiiorts of Mrs, Shephard McLean, a widow, who finds her bank account diminish- ing, to put through a merger which turns out to be' a marriage to Mr. Luther Collins. Mr. Collins, a widower, is supposed to be wealthy, while in reality he is also financial-1 ly embarrassed and hopes tor marry Mrs. McLean for her money. ln order to deceive him and make him think her younger than she really is, Mrs. lVlcLean dresses h-er eighteen year old son, Shephard, as a boy of thirteen. Mr. Col- lins, also hoping to appear younger, has his seventeen year old daughter, Iulia, dress as a girl of twelve. The sale of a tract of land and the rise of the stock market, which both had invested in, brings about a happy ending with a promise of romance between the so-n and daughter. l33l El -El H -' THE CONCORDIAN 1937 Pm Telmte Team Mr. Duker, Coach Sitting-Ruth E.

While its purpose is to represent the school in the Annual Debate Tournament, its chief value is the increased knowledge and added experience that the members get in public speaking. The club sponsors the Annual Teachers-Bus Drivers B. B. game. The proceeds from this one game are us-ed for enrollment fees, material, and letters and sweaters. Sweaters are given every Senior member with two or more year's debating experience. Letters are given every actual debater. The question this year is: Resolved that all electric utilities should be govern- mentally owned and operated. In the tournament, Concord established an even 500 percentage. . l34l lj v HH THE CONCORDIAN 1937 One Act Play Mr. Kreider, Sponsor First Row-Ruth Chrispyn, Mr. Kreider, Coach, Doris Bickel.

Concord was again suc- cessful. This made Concord county champion, who was given the chance to go to Fort Wayne. The' cast went there to pr-esent the play with seven other county win- ners. This meeting was in the form of a play festival without any decision being given.

As the gigantic steam-shovel dumped its load on the truck, a chest was revealed. Upon opening this, it was found to be chucked full of shiny gold coins, with a note lying on top, which read: To whoever digs this deep may this be his reward. After James completed and equipped his colossal project he found himself to be still in possession of several millions of dollars. After consulting Mrs. Marvel fthe former Madge Strayerj he decided to take the class of 't37 on an extended trip to Europe. Having borrowed a yacht from his good friend VanPelt, the seed corn King, James invited us to embark at New York Harbor on April the first. We sailed the sea without a case of sea sickness and what a rousing good time we had when we arrived. Enjoying ourselves for six months we set sail for home with all in good health and spirit. This is the last night out and Gala Night is quite the tops. The Music is hot with Kenneth Green, our old Milk Wagon Sheik, and his Rhythm Rhymers swinging it.
