F ORTY-FOUR ln September of the year 1936-an unorganized band of about 59 pilgrims, seeking freedom from ignorance and social oblivion, landed on the C. H.S. Territory, a land unknown to them but nevertheless, very alluring. During the first half year every Colonist worked hard, making friends with the Algebraic, History, and English Forces, exploring new lands and building his cabin of recognition. After several weeks of toiling, we joined with our fellow settlers in an organized colony. Fortunately, we enjoyed self-government from the first, and the only requirement for membership was four acres of land C4 creditsl. By a majority vote of all colonists pres- ent, Miss Light was made the reverend Elder of our promising colony. At the same meeting, we chose Clark McClure as our first Governor and lean Holderman for our Lieutenant- Governor. Dorothy Doty became our Scribe and Tax-Collector. After laboring for a few weeks, the class of '39 decided it was about time for us to rest awhile and be initiated into High School. ln the following fall, we reorganized our colony. Clark McClure again became our Governor and Robert Martin our Lieutenant-Governor. Jean Holderman became our new Scribe and Tax-Collector, and Mr. Kreider was made our reverend Elder. As we proceeded through our hardships, we decided to give the new colonists an initiation party. So on October 19, we feasted royally on candy, popcorn, and pumpkin pies. After our summer months of inactivity as a colony, we chose Robert Martin as our Governor: Florence Kreider our Lieutenant-Governor, and Rosannah Immel as our Scribe and Tax-Collector. And for our reverend Elder we chose Mr. Kreider. To enrich our general fund, we now planned several entertainments. We decided to sponsor Roller Skating Parties and invited the rest of the colonies and Alumni to join us. On December 13 and 14, 1938, our colonies were delighted with a play- Aunt Susie Shoots the Works . lt was rumored that Aunt Susie Shoots the Works wsa one of the best plays ever given in the C.H.S. Territory. Carrying out an old custom of the colonies, we decided to have Iunior Day. Our Puritan maidens wore shortened skirts and aprons, while our 'Iohn Aldens came in overalls and red kerchiefs for the occasion. - Iust before the end of our third year in the C.H.S. Territory, we gave a Iunior-Senior Banquet in honor of an older colony who was about to leave us. For the following year, our Governor was Richard Wenger, Lieutenant Governor, lean Holdermang Scribe and Tax-Collector, Rosannah Immel, and our reverend Elders were Miss Light and Mr. Kreider. On December 14 and 15, 1939, our colony presented Foot-Loose with great success. During this year, one of our colonists, Marshall Allman, left us. Now, having spent four years in the C.H.S. Territory, our colonists feel that they are able to stand upon their own feet and so have withdrawn from the helpful and happy union of C.H.S. We, the Representatives of the May Colony of 1940 in these records assembled, ap- pealing to the good judgment of our fellow colonists for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the Good People of this Colony, regretfully publish and declare, that these May Colonists of '40 are, and of a Right out to be, Free and Independent Graduates. And for the support of this Declaration, we, the-youngest of the Alumni, pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our loyal Fellowship. , Secretary ROSANNAH IMMEL 15 CDNCDRDIAN , IF REAL CITIZENSHIP MEANS an unvarying eagerness to know more, do more, loe more, immovable purpose to be honest, unbiased, open-minded, unchangeable disposition toward friendliness, politeness, cheerfulness, CI1'1 an unalterable belief in loyalty, helpfulness, self-respect, then Concord High School rightfully and gladly presents the GH Citizenship Cup Award for l94U to: DOROTHY DOTY ROBERT MARTIN Believing that honor for outstanding scholarship should be given, the Conf cordian recognizes: FLORENCE KREIDER 96.79 ERNEST HOOVER 94,55 VALEDICTORIAN SALUTATORIAN 16 W , H -d 7,-BDNCDRDIAN CLASS PROPHECY FOR THE CLASS OF 1940 One cold winter evening in the year of 1950, Mr. Kreider seats himself in a big easy chair before the fire. As he is looking into the fire, he begins wondering what has become of the class of 1940. Soon he hears a knock at the door and, to his surprise, it is Florence Kreider, selling automatic hair combers. Mr. Kreider doesn't have much hair left now, but he buys one to get rid of her. Look who's coming down the street nowl lt's Evelyn Shafer, that famous baton twirler, and her band, followed by a long parade. And last but not least, here comes Bob Scheidel, the street cleaner, on the job. There's a plane, seemingly having trouble, circling the city! lt crashesl Mr. Kreider hails a taxi driven by Max Kline. They hurry to the scene of the accident a few blocks away, to find that it is that noted aviator, Iack Loney, and his passengers, Iosephine Hoover and Mary lean Lieberenz, who have been touring Europe as concert violinist and pianist. Another passenger emerges. Why, it's that famous baby specialist, Robert Steward! After all of that excitement, Mr. Kreider decides to listen to the radio to soothe his nerves. He tunes in on Fred Forrest and his Seven Stumps and soloist Erma Clipp, who advertise for the Eckhart Doughnut Hole Manufacturing Company, owned by Lois, Robert and Richard Eckhart. After half an hour of very good music comes the news broadcast, sponsored by the Dixie Sandwich Shop, owned by Rosannah Immel. On the broadcast, he hears that Richard Lewallen, that big game hunter, has just shot a rabbit in Africa. Marian Gegax has recently made her debut as New York's leading glamour girl. The next program is sponsored by Iohn Crume, manager of Crume's Reducing School, with the comedian, Robert Wenger. Mr. Kreider finally decides to go to see how Ernest Hoover is getting along with his 500 acre farm of Hybrid Sweet Peas. As he is going home, he sees Bob Martin sitting in the yard, reading a book written by Betty Leist on How to Keep that School Girl Complexion, while he is doing his farming by radio. Mr. Kreider's car starts sputtering threateningly as he passes a two-by-four filling station. About a mile down the road, his car stops. So he starts walking back to the station. As he walks along, he hears an inhuman noise, he dis- covers that it is Max Chiddister, the champion hogcaller, calling his hogs. Mr. Kreider walks faster to get away from the noise and is relieved to see an auto coming down the rpad which he promptly thumbs . The driver is none other than Omar Swinehart, an Indianapolis speedway driver. When they arrive at the station, the owner turns out to be Marion Kile, Mr. Kreider is taken back to his Ford by Mr. and Mrs. Iohnny Pletcher. Mrs. Pletcher is the former Henrietta Oetting, who now occupies a large share of a Schult trailer. When Mr. Kreider gets home, his wife decides that she needs a new dress. ,She finally persuades him to take her uptown. After window shopping for an hour, they see a pretty dress designed by Lillian Lienhart in the window of lean Holderman's Classy Dress Shop. She falls in love with the dress immediately, so she drags him in and coaxes him into buying it for her. After Mrs. Kreider gets the new' dress, she decides she must have a new hairdress. They go to the Blue Ribbon Beauty Salon, operated by Norma Barwick and Iune Boyer. While waiting for his wife, Mr. Kreider decides to walk around town. While strolling down Main Street, he meets Miss Light, now the head of the local Y. W. C. A. Mr. Kreider tells Miss Light about his visit to Concord not long before. Some of the teachers that he saw there were: Marian Buzzard, first grade teacher, Irene Puterbaugh, Home Econo- mics teacher, and her assistant dietician, Barbara Neu. Richard Wenger is now the profes- sor of Physics and Bill Bowers is the Basketball Coach. Miss Light tells Mr. Kreider news of some of the other of the class. She says that Walter Snell is a lumberjack in Wisconsin. Iosephine Fulmer is the chief cook and bottle washer for the newly married Rumells. Mrs. Rumell was the former Dorothy Doty who created harmony between twins. Fred Schieber is a professional football player. Bill Shupert is a milkman, and Wayne Kundred is now the owner of the Kunderd Gladiolus farm with Phyllis Herrli as his secretary. Mr. Kreider finally decides it is time to meet his wife, so he bids Miss Light goodbye. As they are driving along, Mr. Kreider sees Bob Clindaniel, who is still a lazy man. He 'ries to attract Bob's attention and runs a red light while trying to do so. He is s. opped by a flat foot who is Victor Mansfield. While they are talking over old times, they notice a window-washer on a tall building. Victor says' it is Donald Wenger. Donald's motions be- come slower and slower and suddenly he goes limp. He falls! Mr. Kreider jumps from his chairl After all it was only a dream!

Get yourself a girl and leave the other fellows' girls alone. Do you take the words of those popular songs down in shorthand or do they come natural? Nice you are graduating, you won't have to walk to school. Do you really want to go south? Some say it was luck, personally, we don't think so, You seem to have him in your net, now don't let him fly over it. Be careful whom you try to bluff, you might run on to the wrong person. Katherine Cornell II. Why keep a closed shop against the boys? Your car is a sure attraction to the fair sex, isn't it? Don't be impatient, you might grow yet. Here's a boy with music talent. Silence is golden. There is a certain former graduate that wants a date with you. Fill your hope chest, you might need it. Don't study so much, it gets monotonous. Have you changed your mind about that fellow in Chicago? May you meet all life as calmly as you debate. You'd better slow down, the car won't last long if you don't. Bring her around sometime, we haven't seen her yet. Keep up the good grades and you will be amply awarded. Violin music is nice, isn't it, Wayne? Quiet people have their place in this world. Have they put any thing new in the book case, Dick? Be careful, he's a debater. Is there any book in the library you haven't read? Be careful or someone will run over you. Lead others out of school as well as you have in school. Keep up your class work, you are doing fine. A sunny disposition goes a long way in this world. Don't monopolize him, but give somebody else a chance. Don't always keep what you know to yourself. Couldn't be that you are a good friend of Dick because of his sister, could it? Don't be afraid, girls won't hurt you. Don't go to college, he has waited long enough Did you learn to drive in Mr. Myers' safety class? Stop growing, you won't play basketball forever. Stick to one way of spelling your last name. We're wondering how you got along in a Sophomore geometry class. Three letters in one year is good going. Admit you're the class president. It isn't so bad. Iust keep on working, you may beat your brother yet. 18 CDNCCIRDIAN SENIOR DIRECTORY NAME EXPRESSION AMBITION HOBBY MOTTO Norma Barwick Don't be silly.

We were glad that we needed to use the fund only once, when Roman Hershberger was forced to miss school because of an operation. On October l8 we initiated the Freshmen at a party held in the High School Building and in the gym. We didn't mean to be hard on them but more 'han one ping-pong paddle was broken by both boys and girls.

The club organized a basket ball team this year which played for the Dunlap Evangelical Church in the church league at the Y,M.C.A. in Elkhart. Each senior member of the club was awarded a the emblem of the club. - RAY MOORE 26 in W?7YVYYi ,,,k ng, Z7 DDNCCIRDIAN GIRL RESERVES SPONSOR - MRS. GREENER The Girl Reserves were organized for the first time this year and are made up of Freshman, Sophomore and junior girls. This organization is a junior Y.W.C.A. unit, but We did not join with the national unit since We thought it best to Work a year first. At our first meeting We elected the following officers: President, Weesie Kunderd, Vice-President, Marilyn Chiddisterg and Secretary-Treasurer, Phyllis Martin. A program committee was elected With Marilyn Chiddister as the chairman. The programs always start with the Girl Reserve Creed, the song, Follow the Gleam , and the Roll Call Which is answered by favorite songs, Writers, or other preferences. The programs have been varied. In some, We had the different parts of the creed explained, in some, talent from the organization, in others, slips were handed out to each girl and the instructions on them were followed, and in still others We played games. Among our activities We have fixed dolls for the Christmas baskets, had a gift exchange at Christmas, a Valentine exchange, and have given a General Assembly program. We have enjoyed having the club and hope that it can be carried farther next year. - Pl-IYLLIS MARTIN Back Row: Rosalie Morgan, Esther Grabill, Violet Weaver, Anna Reiner, Betty Hayes, Iune Waltz, Lois Kluth, Mary Welker, Mable julian, Marilyn Chiddister, lean Moyer, Kathryn Lewallen, Norma Cook.

DUKER, COACH The Debate Club started the season by studying the question: Resolved That the Federal Government Should Own and Operate the Railroads . Concord enrolled in the Elkhart Invitational Debate Meet on Ianuary 13, 1940 and met with Hammond, Fort Wayne Central, Gary, and North Manches- ter, after which We enjoyed a fine luncheon at the Y.M.C.A. On the cold wintry night of lanuary 18, our debate team was invited to the Blue Grass Grange to debate. Several Weeks later, on February 8, we debated before the American Legion in Elkhart. On February 10, the Concord Affirmative team met Nappanees Negative in the first round tournament and the Concord Negative team met Elkhart's Affirmative. February 24 found the Affirmative against Wakarusa's Negative and the Negative against WarsaW's Affirmative. ln the tournament, Concord won one of the four debates. One of the finest clubs to belong to in the school is the Debate Club. Although its chief purpose is to represent the school in the Annual Debate Tournament, it is of great value in aiding public speaking and general ex- perience. Three members of the team are leaving, due to graduation. We sincerely hope that in the future Mr. Duker may have a better team than ever before. We want to extend our sincere appreciation to our coach, Mr. Duker, for his splendid cooperation and the time he has spent with us.

During the year We also discussed many plays which we thought were Worth seeing and reading. Recently We all enjoyed Mrs. Greener's description of her visit to New York Where she saw Gone With The Wind . At Christmas time this year We drew names and had an exchange of presents. Although not one ot the larger clubs, We all agree that the Reading Club is one ot the most enjoyable activities in the school. - ISABELLE ROWE 42 ZWAW, CGNCURDIAN v-, -,Mm vW,W,W ,, KNITTING CLUB Miss Light, Sponsor OFFICERS Marian Buzzard, President Martha Swinehart, Vice-President Phyllis Muir, Secretary This year the club has grown a little in size.

Because his wife, Emily, has an aggressive nature, and because she believes in devoting practically all of her waking hours to the rearing of her children, Richard has given her free reinftoo much so, as he later comes to believe. For in her zeal to shield the children from the evils of the world and to advance their education, Emily has, unwittingly, deprived them of many opportunities to think for themselves. This the children have come to realize, and they rebel inwardly. There cames a time when the rebellion is not inward, however. Mary and Bob, high school youngsters, do considerable complaining about being tied to their Mothers apron strings. But it is Dick, their son in medical school, who finally pitches the bomb into camp: he wants to get married before finishing school. Hope, several years out of college, a social worker in Chicago, de- fends Dick eloquently. She thinks they should have a chance to think for themselves. They finally persuade their parents into taking a cruise and letting them take over the responsibility of running the home. There are many problems to solve, Mary neglects her lessons, Bob gets into difficulty when he buys half interest in an old car, Dick gets married, and comes home to live. Hope, true to her philosophy that youngsters should be given responsibi- lities, refuses to interfere in their problems and lets them decide for them- selves. But in the end the children decide that some of their parents' advice is for their good and the parents realize that the children are capable of think- ing for themselves. 44 H ff,CClNCClRDlAN' Y JUNIOR CLASS PLAY MRS.

Vicky Randolph Clean Wengerl, a college Senior, who has a bad habit of throwing things, has discovered that, in order to expel her, Keats will accept the offer to become Dean even though he must get a Wife to do so. She also learns that he has commissioned his friend lohn Appleby flim Masonb, to pick out two or three girls and he'll choose the one who will give him the least trouble.

Grandpa, who is just an innocent bystanderu, Without anyone's knowl- edge, puts in ten dollars on Vicky and then complicates matters, first, by giving each backer a poem to give to his candidate, and then, by calling each girl as if he were Keats, telling her to elope at 8:30. Iohn dresses up and pretends to be a Wife Keats has deserted. At this, Valerie and Tootsie walk out and only Grandpa has the nerve to bring Iohn and Priscilla together.
