May you never swerve From the mark that our hopes have set. Serve long, serve wellg live long to tell Of the days that we can't forget. Let your pages ring of the songs we sing And the deeds of the friends We knowg Let your every part live in some heart Where it whispers soft and low Of the friendships made as we worked and playedg Of the teachers, Wise and trueg Of the things We did and the pleasures hid In the tasks that they set u-s to. SF S? 3? ll? Pl? If in memory's eye, as the years roll by, In review these scenes parade, Then our goal is Won and our work well done And our labors Well repaid. ' THE EDITORS.

May you hold down the senior assembly and all its responsibilities as well as We think we have. To the Sophomores: Doubtless you are looking forward to the time when you will be in the saddle. To assure a secure, perfect-fitting saddle you must turn out a well-rounded class, prominent in all school activities. To the Freshmen: Now is the time to start your class toward a. glorious 1940. This one ambition should be realized-make your graduating group the finest since the class of '39, To the Eighth Grade: From our wide experience, our advice to you is this-understand before it is too late that one gets out of his classes, activities, and associations just what he puts into them. llllay no one hear in the spring of '41 that pathetic complaint, UI Would surely do it differently, if I had it to do over again. To the Seventh Grade: Looking back over six years we can easily see in ourselves a tremendous change and development. Perhaps We don 't feel any more dignified now than we did as rhynies., but We wish for you to remember that the school life of the next six years may determine your future sucdess, as that of the past six has determined ours.- Page Eight N J UAQATJ-ICllIFlI'l 1 1 I ' 4 .-'- ,JDJ 'N' f f 1 . 1, ,A Top Row BEN BALL In Chorus two years.

CHORUS The charm cf blended gold and blue Will ne'er fade from our view, And good old gold and blue so true, 'Tis you we love, 'tis you. On ev'ry leaf thro' ev'ry tree, The golden bars of sunshine Go trickling thro' from sky so blue, The message to renew.

Administration Though the people pictured on this page do no actual teaching, their helpful services form an invaluable, vital part of our school life. They are the ones who arrange our curricula, keep accurate records of our school careers, help protect our health. gladly advise and counsel us. and encourage us in our classes and activities. To them goes much of the credit tor maintaining our school 's excellent rating throughout the state. Let's see Who these necessary personages are that we call Administrationl'. The school board is composed of Dr. Charles Beeson, president, Mr. Clyde Rogers, secretary, and Mr. Romulus Minnich, treasurer. The three actually in charge at the school buildings are Mr. M. C. Darnall. superintendent of city schools, Mr. L. J. C. Freeman, principal of Senior High School, and Mr. Karl C. James, principal of Junior High School. The Work of Miss Ellen J. Viney, the supervisor of elementary schools, Mrs. Minnie Stubhins. the attendance ofdcerg Miss Flora Dutcher, the school nurse for the first semester, and Miss Alice Funk, nurse during the second semester, is more widely seat- tered, but nevertheless these three render much service to the welfare of high school students.

S. llluch stress is placed Let 's examine each of these departments separately. on English composition, literature, and grammar, and we are proud to have one of the best English departments in lndiana. A line general English course is offered to the pupil interested in that subject. He takes composition and grammar work one semester and English literature the next. The greatest English and American authors and their works are carefully studied. The pupil interested in original writing may take a special course in creative writing. The creative writing class is the outgrowth of a club, The Composition Seminar,,' organized in M26 by Miss Evaline Ballard, the present head of the English department. ln, l928 the club was made into a regular English class, for which major credit is given. The purpose of the course. in addition to customary review of the fundamentals of English, is to give opportunity for self-expression through the medium of writing-short stories, essays, poetry, one-act plays, etc. The yearly project of tlte class is the publication of the high school literary magazine, Ink Drops, in which are placed examples of the various types of original writing done by the class members during the year. Each contribution is purely original student work except the introductory article which is written especially for the magazine by some professional writer. Among the guest contributors have been Mr. George Cassell, assistant superintendent of Chicago schoolsg Dr. VVilbur llattield, former president of the National Council of English Teachers, Prof. J. l. Page Thirty-five elw L UAQATHACFIIAFIA Osborne, head of the English department at Mlabash College, and H9375 Prof. Jerome Hixon, of DePauw University. German and French have been on the curricula of former years, but at present Latin and Spanish are the only ancient and foreign languages taught. Miss Knox, who retired last year, built up our Latin department and often sent winning students to the annual state contests. Four years of Latin are offered, beginning, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, and we are justly proud of the fine record and high standards of the department. There is a two year course in Spanish. This course, while not attracting so many students, is very popular With those who do schedule it, and here, also, a high standard of teaching and learning prevails. Suppose we name our 'tlanguagersn and just what classes they teach. Miss Maude Arthur is our librarian and also has several Junior High classes. Miss E-valine Ballard teaches the Juniors and Seniors English. Miss Amy Beatty, Miss Mary Mildred Schweitzer, and Mr. VVilliam Grider divide the Hrst, second, and part of the third year students among themselves, Miss Mabel Eertich teaches Junior High English as does Miss Lois Hunt, who spends half of her time teaching home economics, and Miss Mary Guilliams, who also has the Spanish courses. The major part of Miss Carolyn Caster's time is devoted to teaching Latin. Mr, Homer Burgess also has a Latin class in addition to his regular work with the history department. Classical Club President, Mary Lou Denneyg vice-president, Robert Jolley, secretary- treasurer, Aubrey Buserg sponsors, Miss Caster, Mr. Burgess. The Classical Club extends its membership to all students taking Latin and to all who are interested in the Classics. It is proud to be known as the oldest club in the high school. This year the programs were given monthly and they included Latin plays and songs, musical selections, talks on Roman mythology, history and art, games, and activities based on classical background. The club endeavors to inspire an interest in advanced Latin and to introduce outside activities in Latin which are not pertinent for classroom. use. The picture of the oiticers appears on the opposite page. Plus Ultra President, Richard Allen 5 vice-president, Joanna Johnson, secretary, George Gilkey, sponsor, Miss Caster. The Plus Ultra Club adheres closely to the same customs which the club had when it was- organized in l9l8. Among these are: the membership is composed of the Vergil class, each pupil assumes the name of a Roman god or goddess, and the meetings are held each month on Mt. Olympus C2095 in the place of the regular class meetings. Since the study of Vergil is largely beneficial because of its cultural aspects, the main purpose of the club is to further this objective by becoming more familiar with Roman customs, beliefs, traditions, manners, and mythology.

Science Training in science for the Crawfordsville High School student begins in the seventh grade and continues until he is ready to receive his diploma. In the seventh grade the Junior High pupil attends geography classes four times a. week and, at the end of the year. the average seventh grader probably could shame the senior's knowledge of the geography of the world. Miss Mahan conducts all geography classes and makes them most interesting as well as educa- tional for her students by the use of slides, games, and maps. General science replaces geography as a part of the eighth grade curriculum. ln these classes Mir. Sullivan teaches the fundamentals of science and prepares his students for the more concentrated and specialized science which will be studied in high school. In the ninth and tenth grades the student may elect biology as his science. These classes, under Mr. Stout 's instruction, are very popular and educational. It is the first regular laboratory work that the student experiences. Botany and Zoology both are studied in this general biology course. Collections of leaves, tlowers and. bugs, as well as field trips on the warm, spring days, add to the student's enjoyment of biology. Juniors and seniors may elect either physics or chemistry as a major science. Some ambitious students include both on their schedules. lllr. Risley teaches the physics classes and many important laws of science are developed in his classes. Under the direction of Mr. lhlells. the student chemists experiment with various chemicals. The results are usually enlighteningvif not always appetizing to the general student body.

The Audubon Society members are members ot the 'Indiana Junior Academy of Science. Monthly meetings are held for the purpose of studying nature in all of its forms. Last year a pin was presented Allen Sexton for his outstanding work in the club for the year. The usual arithmetic is studied in the years of junior and senior high sehool. seventh and eighth grades. ln the ninth grade both algebra and general mathe- studied in the tenth grade.

DeBard Owen L. Crecelius. History The history department is headed by Miss Booz. Five other teachers, Mr. Crecelius, Miss Swinehart, Mr. Burns, Mr. Burgess, and Mr. Deliard, help carry on the work of this vast department. Every high school student is required to complete three years of history, excluding the history studied in Junior High. It is an accepted fact that there is a great need to study the current problems of the world today as well as the history ot the past. This study is accomplished through two current events papers, The Junior Review read by the Junior High classes, and ':The American Observer read by the upper classes, Besides keeping up with the present day news, the students study past history, both of this country and others. To help them they keep notebooks in most of the history courses. Government is one exception, however. because no notebooks are required. in that course. The history section of the school library is accessible and is a great aid to both the student and teacher. Along with the history library come the slides illustrating ancient and medieval times. Also, the set of maps in the history department is one of the best sets in the state of lndiana. And so this department is really one of the most important ones ot the school. Page Forty Charlotte Henderson, Charles B. Young, T TFIAQATJ-ICHIFIH Commerce The commercial department plays a leading part in the curricular activities of the high school. Mr. Young heads the department and is aided by Miss Henderson and Miss Vlielch. Although these latter two teachers are rather new, they have proved themselves most valuable to the school. The commercial department offers all the fundamentals of business training which are available to anyone. The shorthand work, after one masters the rules and characters, is largely made up of attaining high speed and accuracy. For each higher speed that is acquired the shorthand student receives an award from the Gregg Short- hand Company. The typing room was equipped with new typewriters this year, and most any evening you chance to wander by, you can see the typists busy. ln both the beginning and advanced bookkeeping classes the biggest problem is to solve the practice sets. These sets are perhaps the most interesting part of the bookkeeping course. The salesmanship course is a relatively new one in the school and the class this year is very popular. The commercial department is steadily gaining in importance. Art Although the art department is often forgotten by students after they leave Junior High, whenever posters are needed it is suddenly remembered and called into service. Miss Martin is the art teacher. The general art classes specialize in color theory, lettering, and designing. The hand work done is based upon these fundamentals. The advanced clas-ses are concerned with drawing, sketching, pastel coloring, and making plaster casts from heads modeled in clay. Christmas time is a busy one for the future artists. They spend their time designing in metal and decorating boxes and door stops to be used as Christmas gifts. This year the department tried something new. Each individual student published a book on the history of ancient art, Indiana art, and the art of Crawfordsville. These books were written and illustrated by the art students. Everyone is familiar with the interesting art exhibits each spring. How many times have we been late to class because we stopped to admire some particularly fine piece of work? ' The department has worked diligently and turned out some excellent material this year. Page Forty-one L A JALATMCHIAH i Samuel M. Woocl1'uff, Fred B. Jackson, Evelyn Blackford, L. L. Stewart, Horner E. Biddle Printing The printing class has had the usual duty ot printing all otliee blanks, prograins, tickets for ball games. and other needed school printed nlatter. This year the group printed lnfr Drops and, in addition, has printed The Gold mul Blue the last semester. This printing of the school paper has opened up opportunities for some of the boys. Mr. Biddle found it necessary to train boys in page makeup, special press work, and type setting which has added experience and will be of great worth to the boys in these groups. New tables and imposing stones are to be added to the equipment of the print shop, and there is a possibility of a new printing press later. This class has found time to print. and experiment in printing as well as to learn fundamentals. lt affords an excellent preparation for students interested in the printing field. Home Economics Great interest is taken in Miss Blackfordls home economics department as is evidenced by the fact that there are 3-L girls enrolled in the beginning class and 27 in the advanced class. The first year class studies foods, health, horne care of the sick, child development, clothing, and related art, while the advanced home economics class studies home inanageinent, clothing, foods, and family and social rela- tionships. On December 8, l936, the girls of the advanced class presented a style show of the silk and woolen dresses which they had made. The beginning group prepared tea, for this same affair. Teachers, mothers and friends were invited to attend. ' ln the sunlrner of 1936 the laboratory of the department was remodeled according to plans made by Mliss Blackford and her classes. One of the old kitchens was transformed into two unit kitchens with a dinette between. Members of the homie managemient class repainted the furniture, made curtains, and arranged the equipment. The other old laboratory was rearranged, redeeorated, and some new equipment added. Page Forty-two KIAQATI-ICHIFIIT Shop There are both senior and junior high groups in the shop classes super- vised by Mr. VVoodr-uff. The Junior High pupils, over a hundred of them, meet twice a week for classes. They study the fl111tlHl1l.OHl2llS of electricity for practical use in the home, they learn drawing, the use of tools, and how to work with wood and. with metal. The senior classes meet every day. First, of course, they learn to use the tools and materials for shop work. As their work advances, they learn to operate machinery of all kinds used in their work, These advanced classes, as well as learning the use of tools, make use of their knowledge by building various articles for the school and for their own homes. Small tables for use in classrooms and twelve new cafeteria tables have been mlarle, besides many pieces of furniture. The boys miaking finer furniture and school articles find themselves well-prepared to choose their life work. Additional room was allowed this year for metal working, especially with the installation of two forges which help in training the boys who are interested in metal forging. Shop is as important in its field as is any other work, for it prepares those boys who are interested in making this their life work, and with the advanced work in school, many pupils find themselves well-prepared to go into this field after graduation. In addition to its value as vocational training, the shop course also teaches the student how to supervise repair work in the home efficiently, and how to buy products. of this kind intelligently. Mechanical Drawing There are three classes of mechanical drawing students under Mr. Jackson this year. This course offers an opening for all engineering and is useful in that it is used extensively in industrial work of every kind. Study in the mechanical drawing classes has become efficient to train pupils for work outside the city. This year samples of work may be sent to Purdue for inspection. For the first time girls have been admitted to the mechanical drawing class. This admission has been accepted with growing interest and by good work on the part of the girls now in the class. In addition to the regular course there are some students taking advanced courses in drawing to prepare further for work of this kind. Improvements in instruments, drawing boards, and seating arrangements have helped to advance the course and today students from this department are scattered throughout the country doing work of this nature. Agriculture There are two classes in agriculture under the supervision of Mr. Stewart. Both work in the interests of farming and farm, improvement. The advanced class has two divisions of work, dairying and the building of farm necessities. The first division consists ofiexperiments in testing milk, judging Page Forty-three --If-Aw 14 W' mi la UAL All-ICllI.ClI'l Agriculture Club Back Row: Russell Dawson, James Miller.

The Ag Club is composed of the students taking vocational agriculture. Its purposes are: to create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations, to encourage cooperative effort among students of vocational agriculture, to strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work, and to promote recreational and educational activities for the students in vocational agriculture. Each year the club sponsors a banquet for parents, students, and teacher in order that they may become better acquainted. Meet- ings are held monthly. dairy cattle and studying in textbooks. The second involves manual labor entirely in making gates, repairing harness, etc. The two divisions of the afternoon class are farm crops and animal hus- bandry. The first division is mostly a study in texts with some soil testing. The second is entirely a study in texts. Members of either class will test corn for any farmer Wishing it done. This is a help to the student as well as the farmer, in making him familiar with grain. In addition to study and experimentation, each member is 'required to keep, throughout winter and summer, a supervised record on some class of livestock. Page Forty-four Mary Avalyn Davis, Joe A.

They also have pepped up the spirit at football and basketball games. lt is outstanding as a concert group and has received many honors at the contests. Each year the band plays sometime during Fall Festival. This year they paraded through the city and played a. half-hour concert in front of the Armory building. They played for political meetings held at the High School building. They also marched in the Republican parade held at Indianapolis. When the District Sunshine Convention was held at the high school, the band played a concert to open the afternoon session. The band has done much to help raise music organizations in other schools to a high standing' such as the Crawfords- ville High School Rand has obtained. They motored to Attica one Sunday afternoon in private ears and played a tivo hour concert in the Attica Gym- nasium. The music directors of Attica were interested in creating a. musical atmosphere.

Page Forty-sim UADATMCDIAH Senior Chorus Senior choius has a new instructor tlIis year. Miss Mary Avalyn Davis, who has attended Butler Vniversity, Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music and National Music Camp at lnterlocken, Michigan. Miss Davis followed Miss lllargaret Dennis at our high school. Miss Dennis graduated from DePauw, attended New York l'niversity and Columbia. University. She taught at DePauw tor one year then came to Crawfordsville and taught music for two years. She left our school at the beginning of the lfllifi school year to teach at Shorter College for VVomen, located in Rome. Georgia. Cn April 12, 1937 the chorus, under the direction of Mary Avalyn Davis, gave their annual operetta. called Norwegian Nights. lt was an operetta in three acts based on the life and Inusic of Edvard Grieg. The plot in brief was this: Edvard Grieg, a 'struggling young mtusician, is devotedly in love with Nina, who is the inspiration for Inuch of his music. llis poverty moves him to seek a pension from the government. llis agent, Otter. is sent to negotiate for it. Herman llagerup, Ninafs father, is opposed to the courtship ot Grieg and Nina and sponsors another suitor for her hand-a certain English opera singer, who is in Norway studying and who also is endeavoring, through Ilagerup, to obtain a pension. Herr Bjorson, an old friend of Grieg, is visiting the composer. Grieg, long stirred by the beauty of the outlaying mountains speaks ot his intention of going out into them to formulate his dreams into music. In the course ot his stroll, he grows tired and lies down in a. cool glen to rest. Sleep overtakes him, and from his ensuing dreams the Peer Gynt music takes form. Ile returns and tells of his experience. In the midst of a festival given in honor of Grieg, Otter returns to report that the pension is granted. Grieg is able to marry Nina, anil she continues to be his inspiration through life. Edvard Grieg. Nina .......... Peter. . . . Olga ........ Peer Gynt. .. Solvejg. . . llagerup. . . llans .....

UAeAT4+leCI'IIFlHe Speech Arts Speech activities in the high school are sponsored by the Speech Arts Olub-a group organized for the purpose of helping those who are interested in dramatics, debate, and oratory. Officers of the club are Robert Peirce, president, Anna Ruth Knight, vice-president, Robert Tompkins, secretary- treasurer. Not often are sponsors of speech arts given all the credit due them. They should be thanked for all the work and time they have contributed to make the organization a success. Mr. Orecelius is the one who is responsible for any phase of dramatics that is carried out in Senior High School. As director, Mr. Orecelius has shown his ability in the successful plays produced by the club. Miss Beatty, one of our English teachers, plays an important part and contributes much to Speech Arts. A new member of the faculty, Mr. Grider, has contributed to the success of our plays by his criticisms and has produced very successful debate squads.

Page-Fifty-eight KIAQATHCHIAD Page-F1 .L KIALATHCDIAH Debate Up to the past year debate has been considered a minor activity in the Crawfordsville High School. Those who have been on the past debate squads know how the forgotten man must have felt. If it hadn't been for them however, we would not now be the proud possessors of a debate squad which has gained recognition by bigger schools. This recognition was gained by school support. Not, however, until we became conscious of the fact that right under our eyes we had an organization that deserved recognition. Mr. Grider, our school debate coach, although small in stature is extremely large in spirit. Through his persistent efforts a debate record that withstood the remarks of the most critical was established last year. The school body as a whole has recognized this fact and turned out to support our debate squad this year with real enthusiasm. The year of l937-38 is being looked forward to by the squad as the real test of their skill. Members of the Afifilrmsative squad are: first, Josephine McCarthy and Richard Ristine. The Negative squad: first, Robert Tompkins and Elizabeth Caster. This experienced team is composed of seniors. This year a second squad was chosen to carry on the work of the senior s-quad. These debaters are all sophomores and show promise of carrying this activity to still greater heights. They are Affi'rma.tive: first, Frances Rickett, second, Ernest Karl James. The Negative: first, Dan Evans, second, Florence Oltman. Another who does a lot of work but is not mentioned much in connection with debate is John Croy. This boy is the one who turns up all the material that the regular debate squad cannot seem to End and also acts as alternate for the sophomores. On February 11, the Crawfordsville afiirmative team defeated the Frankfort negative here, while the Crawfordsville negative team won from Lebanon there to win the Annual Triangular Debate, Crawfordsville vs. Lebanon vs. Frankfort. The winning of this debate ties Crawfordsville with Lebanon for the honor of having won the second highest number of Triangular debates. As they now stand Frankfort has won nine, Crawfordsville, eight, Lebanon, eight, and three have been tied. Debate Record The season opened at Linden with a no decision debate. Then, on January 9, both teams were entered in the Bloomington Invitational Debate Tourney. The results of the affirmative team follow: Crawfordsville CAD defeated Bloomington Crawfordsville CBD defeated VViley Crawfordsville CAD defeated Brazil Crawfordsville CBD defeated Brazil Craiwfordsville CAD lost to Bedford Crawfordsville CBD lost to Bloomington The negative team was equally successful: Crawfordsville CAD defeated Bedford Crawfordsville CBD defeated New Albany Crawfordsville CAD lost to Seymour Crawfordsville CBD defeated Bloomington Crawfordsville CAD lost to Bloomington Crawfordsville CBD defeated Bedford Page Sixty L ..,. ali.

Crawfordsville was defeated by the LaPorte squad which continued through the finals to win the coveted state championship cup. Reaching the state this year is an invitation for next year's debaters to win it. Speakers' Bureau The Speakers' Bureau is a new organization composed of members of the speech class. The Bureau offers a service to all clubs of C. Hl. S. in that they will give speeches on any subject at any time for any program. Although this is the iirst year that the speech class has attempted anything of this kind, the service has proved invaluable. Mr. Crecelius is responsible for the organization. Anna Willson Qratorical Contest The annual Anna Willson oratorical contest was made possible by a fund left by Miss Anna Willson. a former director of Crawfordsville High School. Those competing in the 1936 contest placed as follows: First place, Virginia Cray-t'Dream True, second place, Anna Ruth Knight-'lThe Big Paradegw third place, llenry Miangus- The Last Line of Defensegl' fourth, fifth and sixth places of equal award were won by Bessie Taylor, Dorothy Fullenwider, and Bill Vllilliams. lndiana Central Oratorical Contest Six schools compete in this contest each year. Lebanon, Tipton, Frankfort, Lafayette, Delphi, and Crawfordsville. There were two divisions to this contest, one of girls and the other of boys. Anna Ruth Krnight and Henry Mangus were representatives of Crawfordsville. Faye Six ty-one G. ffhmilll-lCllIFlll Leila I-Ioaglin, Nolan C. Craver Physical Education and Athletics Each student who is graduated from C. H. S. must have completed at least one year of physical education. Miss Hoaglin has charge of physical education for girls and also teaches health. Miss VVelch, whose major work is in the commercial department, also conducts one physical education class. Miss Funk, the school nurse, conducts a health class. The boys' physical education and health classes are divided among Mr. Craver, who also has charge of seventh and eighth grade basketball, Mr. DeBard of the history department, and Mr. McCullough of the mathematics department. Football Mr. Carl Deliard for the past tive years has been head football coach of the Athenian squad. Through his amazing football knowledge and his magnetic personality, he has built smooth running football machines. DeBee is recognized as one of the foremost high school football coaches of the state. llc is also assistant basketball coach. In turn Mr. ll. T. McCullough, our basket- ball coach, ably assists DeBee with the football squad. Coach Deliard had his share of bad luck with this year's Athenian football team. Injuries kept many Hrst string players from delivering their best. How- ever, the Athenians made a creditable showing. Mr. DeBard had many inexperienced players to work with, as several of the 1935 squad were lost by graduation. With three weeks' training under his expert supervision, the team was molded into a fairly smooth-running machine. This year's team played some of the best teams in the state. Although they were light, they held their own against the best. It was one of the best cooperating teams Crawfordsville has ever had. XVEST LAFAYETTE CHereD-Septemiber 11 The team opened the season by playing VVest Lafayette at the NVabash College held. After a long, hot battle, the Athenians came out on top. This was the tirst game for six new men as regulars. Final score: Crawfordsville, 13, VVest Lafayette, 6. PERU fThereD-September 18 Coach Carl Deliard took thirty boys to Peru to face the big. powerful Peru team. It was the first of the two night games scheduled. Although out- weighed twenty pounds per man, the team held its own. The game ended in a tie, 7 to 7. Incidentally, Peru was the champion of the Central Indiana Conference.

PLYMOUTH tIIereD-Oetober 2 The undefeated and highly rated Plymouth team eamte here to face the Athenians. Our team, having recovered from last week, was in good shape. With the plays running to perfection. the Athenians were able to down the undefeated Plymouth team., l8 to 6. Jlrllfli' Clherej-Oetober l2 lieeause of the heavy downpour of rain on Friday, the game was postponed until Monday. The team. out-played the big, fast Jeff team in the tirst half, but in the sem-ond half the heavier Jeff team proved too mueh for them. 'XVith two punts blocked that resulted in touehdowns, they were defeated, 26 to 0. KIRKLIN CThereD-Oetober l6 The squad went to Kirkliu to play another undefeated team. The lirst half was a mad raee from one end of the field to the other. ln the seeond half, having been eooled off by a downpour of rain, the team settled down and: made three touehdowns. Final seore: Crawfordsville, 315 Kirklin, 13. NVILEY Cyllerej-Oetober 21 The iioats were all washed up by the rain and the homeeoming parade was called olf. This was the Athenians' third game in nine days. On the wet and slippery Wabash field the Athenians met the bis! NViley team. Even though the boys were weighed down with mud. Cand did they look a mess UU they were able to down Wiley, 22 to 7. SIIORTRIDGE CTherej-October 30 This was the game in whieh eight of the eleven regulars played their last game. They niet the powerful Shortridge team on their field at Indianapolis. The Athenians seored the first touchdown in the first quarter, but the extra point was no good.

CIIARLES VVIIITE--TlllS iron man of the team played every bit of every game. Charlie is one of the best taekles ever turned out by our sehool. He is a fast., hard eharger and is above the average on defense. He is a junior and should make it plenty tough for the opposition next fall. Romair ST.XRNS4liOll finished a sueeessful year at taekle. Ile was one of the heaviest men on the team. He made it quite a task for the opposition to gain mueh ground through him.

Last year he took Crawfordsville's team to the state for the first time in thirteen years and this year his team has had a far more successful season, as far as the regularly scheduled games are concerned, than la-st year. He is well-liked by everyone and as long as he is the coach Crawfordsville will always be assured of a good team. Besides coaching the varsity Mac carried on many intramural leagues which means that the younger boys will be more experienced when they enter high school. All in all, Crawfordsville has much to look forward to in regard to their future teams. Coach DeBard Although Mac was head coach it would not have been possible to have all the basketball that the school had, had it not been for DeBee. Deliee coached the second team and also helped with the intramural leagues. He gave many valuable pointers to the varsity team which will not be forgotten as long as they play basketball or any other sport. D-eliee took the second team who were all players with no previous high school experience and made them into a team which beat or gave a battle to every team they played. L. C. Freeman Although Mr. Freeman is not listed as a coach he took over the team when Deliee and Mac were called to the flood area and turned them back over to Mac after two games with the same number of defeats still showing on the record as before he had gone. He let all things drop to come down and help out the team when he was needed. Sam Woodruff Mr. Wooclrulf took over D'el3ee's work when he left and he, too, deserves much credit for the job he did. Nfot entirely new to the coaching game, Mr. Wloodrutf stepped in and helped out in fine style until Deliee returned. Basketball Season BLOOMINGTON The Athenians opened their season against the Bloomington Panthers with a 24 to 16 win. It was a. slow game with the Panthers starting fast to gain a 4 to 2 -lead. Their lead was short-lived, and this was the only time during the game that the Bloomington boys were ahead. The score at the half was 12 to 7. The starting lineup for the first game was Thompson and Hahn, forwardsg Morris, centerg and Campbell and McGaughey, guards. Page-Six ty-eight .5441 7Af,14ITl-ICHIFIH JEFF CLafayetteJ The Athenians ran into their first defeat of the season at Lafayette when they were beaten by Abie Master 's Jeff team, 27 to 22. The game was close throughout. The Crawfordsville team grabbed a 4 to 0 lead at the start, but Jeff soon had forged ahead and held a. 15 to 13 lead at half time. Then at the start of the third quarter Gershuny led a Jeff rally that raised their leadto ten points. However, Crawfordsville kept coming and at one time closed the gap to two points. RUSHVILLE Playing the day after Thanksgiving, the Athenians beat Rushville's Lions in a close game, 26 to 24. There was never more than three points difference at any time. The score at the half was 15 to 15. The Crawfordsville netmen then grabbed a short lead which they held until only three minutes remained. Then Rushville came on until they were leading 24 to 23 with fifteen seconds to go. Hahn then made a free throw to tie it up, and in the over-time Ed Morris outjumped two Rushville players to tip in the winning basket. VEEDERSB URG The Mackmen then journeyed to Veedersburg and won their easiest victory to date by defeating the Veedersburg Green Devils, 34 to 17. The game was close during the first quarter which ended 8 to 6, Crawfordsville, but then the Athenians stepped out and held a 23 to 8 margin at half-time. Dave Thompson led the attack with eleven points. COVINGTON The Athenians met the Covington netmen,'coached by Gene Rovenstein, and turned in a 25 to 12 victory, for their fourth victory in five starts. The game was very lopsided the first half which ended with Crawfordsville holding a 13 to 2 lead, but in the second half the Trojans picked up and closed the gap somewhat. Chud McGaughey led the attack on the Trojans with eleven points. NEWCASTLE Crawfordsville traveled to Newcastle and ran into a. hot Trojan team who handed them their s-econd defeat by a 43 to 28 count. The game started very fast and the Athenians grabbed a 7 to 2 lead, however, Newcastle started hitting and held a 8 to 7 lead at the quarter. It was then that Chud McGaughey, assigned to guard Huffman, Newcastle high scorer, went out on personals and Newcastle wasted no time in running up a 21 to 11 lead at half-time, They held the lead for the rest of the gamie. CLINTON The next game on the schedule was played down at Clinton High School 'es new SS100,000 gym and was won by the Athenians 31 to 19. The Athenians had little trouble holding the lead in the last half although the first half ended with them enjoying only a two-point margin. They missed numerous close-in attempts which would have made the score more one-sided. McGaughey led the Athenian attack with fifteen points. A Page Sixty-nine ., f'Wmt -- Y , 4 JAQATMCHIAH. HAMMOND Hammond High School opened athletic relations with Crawfordsville in a basketball game played at the Armory. It was a fitting opening for the Athenians, who won 24 to 22 on Chud lVIcGaugheyls last minute field goal. The game was very close in the first quarter, but in the second quarter the Athenians pulled away to what seemed like a comfortable margin of five points. Ifammond stayed in and with three minutes to play tied the game up. It was then two minutes later that McGaughey took a rebound and threw it back in for the two lmoints that spelled victory. ABCG TOURNEY Greencastle was Crawfordsville's first opponent and they were downed in a slow after'Christmas game by a 25 to 20 score. The game was fairly close all the way with the Athenians holding a slight 9 to 6 lead at the half-time. Then led by Ed Campbell 's shots from the foul line, they took a long lead which Greencastle just closed by two last minute baskets. In the night game the Athenians had to meet Attica, who had conquered Brazil in the after- noon game. The Athenians started fast and held a 4 to 0 lead, but Attica soon came up and, at the half-time, the Maekmen held only a 13 to 11 lead. In the last half Attica, with some very nice teamwork and ballhandling, out- played the Athenians and pulled away to a comparatively easy 26 to 18 victory. This gave them the ABCG tournament for the second time in three years and kept Crawfordsville from defending successfully the title which they held last year. NOBLESVILLE Crawfordsville took on Noblesville's Millers coached by Maurice Kennedy and beat them by a 27 to 16 count. The game was very poorly played, the Athenians gaining a ten point margin in the first quarter in which the Millers failed to score. They closed the gap to 15 to 7 at the half, but the Athenians then took a long lead which they held until the end of the game. LEBANON The next game on the schedule was the rivalry battle with Lcbanonls Tigers. This was one of the fastest seen on the fioor all year and was won by the Athenians by a 40 to 26 count. The game started with Crawfordsville behind when Lebanon hit two shots in a row to make the score -I to 0, but the Athenians rallied and, led by lVIcGaughey and Campbell, held a slight lead at the half. Lebanon came out fast in the third quarter and regained the lead with three straight field goals. Soon after this VVilliams went out on personals and the Athenians grabbed a lead which they never relinquished and which they increased at every opportunity. Campbell and MeGaughey led the attack with eleven points each. ANDERSON The Anderson Indians were the next team to take the Athenians into camp. They did this over at Anderson by a fourteen point margin, 41 to 27. The Indians started fast and, before Crawfordsville knew what the game was about, they held a l7 to 4 lead. The Mackmen rallied just before the half and cut this lead down to 19 to 13 at the intermission. They came back the same way in the third quarter but with the score cut to 23 to 21, Ed Morris left the game on his fourth personal, and the Athenian defense cracked enough to let Anderson get 4a.,lead too large to overcome. Clemons, a colored forward, was best for Anderson, and Thompson, llahn, and Campbell all shared our scoring. Page Seventy WAAQATHCHIAD HORACE MANN fGaryj The Athenians completed their season against the strong Horace Mann team at the Armory. The game resulted in a 35 to 27 defeat for the Maekmen. The Horsemen started fast and soon had a 6 to lead midway in the first quarter. Then the Athenians started in and soon had gained a small lead at the quarter. The second quarter was nip and tuek with neither team able to pile up a decisive margin. The half ended with the Northmen holding a 17 to 15 advantage. The game was elose during the third quarter which ended with the North- eruers still ahead 23 to 2l. ln the last quarter a couple of baskets by Morrison, Gary 's forward, started a rally whieh gave the lI'orsem.en too big an advantage to make up. Morrison and Harman were outstanding for the Horsemen while Me- Gaughey and Thompson stood out for the Mat-kmen. Sectional Tournament Crawfordsville successfully defended the seetional title which they won last year by wading through New Market. New Ross, and Linden. The first game played by the Athenians was against New Market 's Purple Fliers. The Maekmen led the chase from the start and ran up a lead of 16 points before the Bowersmen scored. They held a big lead at the half and in the third and fourth quarters all the reserves were used. At the end of the third quarter the Athenians held a 31 to 6 lead and in the last quarter the reserves held their own to bring out a 38 to 14 victory. The next game on the card was against New Ross's lilue Jays, who had won their way to the semifinals by defeating Wingate. New Ross got away to a flying start when lieebe, the center, got a tip-in tthis marked the only time during the whole tourney that the Athenians were behindj, but the Mackmen soon rallied and held a 11 to 3 lead at the quarter. At the final gun the score was 44 to 21 in favor of Crawfordsville. The final game was against Linden's Bulldogs. who had come through the stiff upper bracket with vietories over XYaynetown, Alamo, and hadogats highly-touted Canners. Linden was unable to get started and the Athenians held a 19 point lead before the Bulldogs scored. The Athenians then coasted in to an easy victory. ln doing so they piled up their biggest score of the tourney 54 to 25. Regional Tournament For the second straight year H. T. McCullough took a team to the final sixteen, the Hsweet sixteen when the Athenians eame thi ough the tournament at Attiea with victories over XYilliamsport and their aneient rival, Greencastle. By these two vietories the Maekmen gained the right to meet Anderson's lndians in the Semi-finals in lndianapolis. GIS l1 UAL All-ICI'lI.Clll The tournament was started by Greencastle and Dana meeting in the first game in the afternoon. After a hard first half the Tiger Cubs rallied and gained the right to be in the finals that night. Crawfordsville met 1N'illiamsport, winner of the Attica sectional, in the seeond afternoon game. The game was slow with the Athenians having a hard time to penetrate their husky opponents' defense. At the end of the first half the Warren County boys led 10 to 6. At the start of the third quarter the Athenians settled down and began to make some headway until they had assumed the lead. They won to 19, MeGaughey was the high point man of the game. That night Crawfordsville met Greeneastle's Tiger Cubs in the final battle. lt was the seeond straight year that these two rivals had met in the finals of the regional tournament. The game was well under way when Hammond, Tiger guard, hit a medium shot to send Cwreeneastle away to the lead. A minute later he made a free throw to inerease the lead. Crawfordsville tied matters up at the quarter. 8 to 8. The second quarter was nip and tuek all the way with the Athenians finally spurting into the lead at the gun 1-1 to 12. The third quarter was all Green- eastle and at the end of this Crawfordsville was on the short end of a 21 to 18 seore. ln the last quarter the Maekmen tightened their defense and held the Crawleymen scoreless while they were ringing' up ten points to take a 28 to 21 lead. llahn, Campbell, and Thompson got the Crawfordsyille points. while Oliver and King were outstanding' for Greeneastle. S-emi-final Tournament The Athenians came to the end of their basketball trail at the semi-final tournament when Anderson's lndians took them, into camp in their most thrilling gamte of the year 23 to 21. The game was elose throughout with the alert Maekmen holding the Indians to just seven field goals. only to lose the game through their own inability to hit their numerous free throws. The game started slowly with both teams showing' a slight ease of the 'fjittersw and 11ot doing mueh in an offensive way. Then Clemons was fouled and made his free throw to send Anderson away to a lead. Campbell hit a fielder to put Crawfordsville in the lead 2 to 1 and from then on it was nip and tuek with Anderson holding the lead at halftime fl to 5 even thoug'h they had been held to a single field goal. In the last half the game speeded up offensively and Anderson grabbed a 22 to 1-1 lead with only three minutes to go. Then the Athenians started hitting and they came up to 22 to 20 with only thirty seconds to play. The best they could get out of those last thirty seconds was trading free throws and this left the final score 23 to 21. This marked the last game for four seniors, Thompson, Campbell. Me- Gaughey, and Hahn. From the standpoint of games won and lost and tourna- ment progress, this season was tl1e most sueeessful in the last ten years. Page-See'f'1s ' TA-,ATI-ICHIFID GREENCASTLE The Maekmen suffered their first defeat of the season on the home fioor when Greencastle is improved Tiger Cubs defeated them in a thriller 26 to 22. The game was close throughout with Crawfordsville leading most of the half until the last minute when IIam.m.ond's field goal gave Greencastle a one point margin at the half. In the third quarter the Tiger Cubs went far ahead until two field goals by MeGaughey in the fourth quarter closed the gap. King led the Tiger Cub attaek while Meflaughey and Hahn tied for high point honors for the Athenians. XVASIIINIGTON CIndianapolisj The team then journeyed to Indianapolis to play the Indianapolis city champs and came home on the long end of a 31 to 25 score. The game was fast and the Athenians were never headed from the opening gun when lVIt-Gaughey and Hahn hit their first three shots and gave the Athenians a six-point margin. At one time in the last quarter Crawfordsville held a four- teen point lead, but a one man rally by Hardin, 'Washington's captain and high point man for the game, closed the gap at the final gun. SHORTRIDGE CIndianapolisD The Athenians' neXt trip was again to Indianapolis to play Shortridge, another old rival. They made it a clean sweep over Indianapolis teams for the year by eking out a one point 25 to 24 victory. Shortridge got off to a rousing start on Jack Clayton 's three field goals, but the lead was whittled down and the Athenians had a three point lead at the half-time. At the start of the third quarter, baskets by Morris and Campbell sent the lead up to nine points, but the Shortridge defense stiffened and the offense perked up and by the end of the game lXIeGaughey's last-quarter field goal was all that stood between victory and defeat. DANVILLE The Athenians chalked up their eleventh victory of the year when they walloped Danvilleis VVarriors 54 to 31, piling up their biggest score of the year to do so. The game started very fast and after a hard first quarter the game Was tied up at nine all. After that Sub-coach Freeman's Mackmen began to improve and they soon had the score at 29 to 12, the half-time score. 'With a lineup composed mostly of reserves Crawfordsville still managed to keep their overwhelming lead and they ended up on the long end of the score. Every one scored plentifully for the Athenians with Hahn, Thompson, and McGaughey leading the attack. H JEFF Cliafayettei The Athenians next game was with their traditional rivals, Abie lNIaster's Jeff team, and the Bronehos handed up a 33 to 25 defeat. This made the second time this year that the Bronchos had defeated us. The game started with Rush, Jeff forward, hitting a field-goal from right out in front and then connecting on a free throw to give the Masters-men a. three point lead. Then Page-Seventy-one .L 1 f I ,E ii i T 1 'I1 1 AUADATJ-lCllI.CIH1 McGaughey hit a fielder from the side and two more by other Athenians forced. the Bronchos to call for time out. When play was resumed the Athenians kept hitting the basket and they soon had the score doubled at 14 to 7. Jeff then woke up and Young's last minute 1'ield goal gave them a 15 to 14 lead at half-time. The Athenians came back strong and regained the lead at 18 to 15, but soon after this Campbell left the game on personals and the Jeffmen turned on the steam to take a 28 to 25 lead with two minutes to play. Then close guarding by Crawfordsville in an effort to get the ball resulted Jeff men breaking lose for two easy field goals. Young and Rush led the Jeff attack, while McGaughey was outstanding for Crawfordsville. LEBANON The Athenians journeyed to Lebanon and took a humiliating defeat from Lebanon's Tigers, a team which they had already beaten once this year by fourteen points. The game was very fast and very rough. The Tigers assumed a six point lead at the outset of the game and with only three minutes to play they held a ten point lead. The Athenians closed the gap to four points at the quarter 20 to 16. In the second half the Mackmen rallied and came up within three points of the Nleuman-men and finally caught up with them but their lead was short lived and they were soon far behind again. The final score was 47 to 39, an unusually high scoring game for high schools. BRAZIL The Mackmenls last trip of the season was made a successful one when they outlasted Brazil 's Bricks to win a close 27 to 25 decision. The game was close throughout and at only one short stage of the game did more than four points separate the two opponents. At the end of the first quarter Brazil held a 7 to 6 lead, Bob Allen, Brazil's six-foot-three-inch guard, having contributed all their points. The Athenians set to work at the start of the second quarter and shot to the front at half-time, 15 to 11. During this quarter the Bricks lost the services of Allen via the personal foul route. At the start of the last half Crawfordsville increased its lead to 19 to 11, but Brazil came with a rush and took the lead with three minutes to play. The Mackmen kept their heads and soon had gained a tie with less than two minutes to play. Then Chud McGaughey scooted under the basket for the game-winning basket, he was the high-point man for the Athenians. ATTICA The Athenians were next host to the Attica Red Ramblers, who held a. previous decision over them. They avenged this loss with a well-earned 31 to 22 victory. The game started with lVIcGaughey sinking a shot from the side of the court, and from this point on the Athenians were never headed. At the end of the first quarter they led 15 to 5 and at half-time they held a nine point advantage. In the second half Attica came up to 26 to 20, andi this represented the closest they came to the Mackmen all evening. Hahn led the attack for the Athenians who were playing without the services of Ed Campbell, spark plug guard.

He was the only returning regular this year. H'e started slowly this year but once he got going it wasn't very often that he was held low in the scoring colunixn. NVhen next year 's call goes out for basketball material, Dave will be sorely missed at his old forward spot. Ross HAHN-This is Rossis last year on the team, and he, too, like Dave spent four years on the squad. During these four years, he has turned in many tine performances. Ross is a fast, dependable player, and when the going was tough, he played his best. He will be missed next year when the time comes to chalk up a few points against our opponents. ED MORRIS-Eld is spending his second year at center on the varsity team and next year 's fans will have the pleasure of seeing Ed around again. Last year Ed was called into action by the injury of one of our centers and he did a fine job. This year he started just where he left off last year. Next year should find Ed better than ever. Ep CAMPBELL-Ed is also spending his fourth year on the squad. Ile was the smallest man on the first tive but that didn't bother him any, and he always got his share of the points and did his share of the work. Ed is a very heady player and his brainwork will be missed along with his ability next year. CHUD MCGAUGHEY-This is Chud's third and last year on the squad. Chud specialized in defense but he never let his offense slip, always managing to snare his share of the points. Chud was a very hard fighting player and Crawfordsville's loss. will mean Indiana's gain. CLAY HEDGEs-This is Clay's second year on the basketball squad and his first year as a letterman. Although Clay wasnlt on the starting five, he played in almost every game and could be depended upon to do his share of the work. Next year Clay will be back again and he should be better than ever.

National Honor Society The aint of the National llonor Society is to develop a unified personality based upon the 'lfour qualities of character, seholarship, leadership and service. Such a personality is never completely aehieved, but is a growing eoneept. Members of the National llonor Soeiety attempt to progress toward this ideal. Seholarship is studying' for the love oi' knowledge, and so cannot be estimated by grades. Although the Society holds scholarship a necessary quality for its members, it believes that for an effective personality. leadership, eliaraeter, and service must be combined. Leadership is that magnetic power ol' personality whiz-h intluenees individuals or srroups to act for their own good. To give not only of our means and time, but of ourselves, not only to our friends, but to our foes, not only to our home and sehool, but to our community, not for love of praise. but for love of fellow men, this is service in its truest Form. Character is the ability to decide correctly in the face of a question between right and wrong' of right and wrong: This ability to distinguish is the most important qualification for an Honor Society member. Members are at-tive in all school or,Q,'anizations and activities. They have charge of the concessions at the athletic games.

Page Eighty-two UADATLICHIAD KIALATHCHIAH ,ly All-School Dance An all-school dance was held Friday night, January 29, in the auditorium to start the new semester off in fine style. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth classes were invited and, though there seemed to be some who were rather bashful and shy at first, nearly everyone Hlet themselves gel' and swang into the ever irresistible rhythm of Al Breaks and his Melodiers. There was also ping pong, monopoly, card games, and bingo, which made a delightful enter- tainment for everyone present. Candy and chewing gum were sold by the National Honor Society. The dance was ehaperoned by teachers and parents. Although several committees were appointed, Richard Ristine and Henry Mangus made up the general committee. Junior Party On January 7, the class of '38 gathered in the high school auditorium for their class party which proved to be a big success among other events of the year. Dancing was the main attraction but ping pong, checkers, bunco, dominoes, and various other games were enjoyed by everyone. The refresh- ments of ice cream and candy were so good that some of the future high and mightiesu seemed to forget about good manners. Several committees were appointed, but the class officers, Jimmie Dye, Edward Morris, Joanna Johnson, and Wayne Thompson, made up the general committee, and were the ones who helped to make this school event a success. The faculty sponsors are Mrs. Smith, Miss Arthur, and Mr. Vilells. Sophomore Party The tenth graders decided to do a little celebrating and gave a class party on January 21. This class had an unusual type of party which con- sisted of interesting games, traveling around the world, a stage show, and dancing. Everyone joined in the games and truly made the party a great success. Those serving on committees to help make the party full of interest and pep were Mildred Vililliams, Besse Ade, John Moon, Don Shumaker, Frances Rickett, Robert Barton, Hugh Strong and Loraine Coons. The faculty sponsors are Miss Caster, Mr. Young, and Miss YVelch. Freshman Party On December 3 several shy little freshmen met in the high school building for a. party, which turned out to be one of the most successful events of the year. The refreshments of popcorn and pecan crunches were enjoyed by everyone. Ping pong, card games, dominoes, and various other games were played. Those serving on committees to help make the party a success were Ted Chapman, Ellen Jane Eskew, Minnie Simmons, and Bill Rowland.

Gold and Blue This year to the delight of everybody, the school paper, The Gold and Blue, was revived after a lapse of four years. To Mr. Burgess fell the colossal task of putting over the subscription and advertising drives, and of choosing and developing a competent newspaper staff. Though there seemed to be a great deal of interest in the paper, it was rather diiilcult to secure the necessary number of subscriptions. Then the business and professional men of the city had to be interviewed and arrangements made with them to advertise in the Gold and Blue. During the first few weeks the candidates for positions on the staff covered certain events, or tried their hand at feature articles, or helped sell advertising spaceg and soon Mr. Burgess was able to select from this group the editorial staff, the reporters, and the advertising solicitors who could and would give the time, the effort, and thought to making a success of the paper. Since the staff was comparatively green and had to work on the paper aside from regular school hours, it was necessary to limit its publication to every two Weeks. Nevertheless, the paper proved to be one of the most valuable and popular features of the entire school. The paper Was a six column, four page publication and the printing was done by the Journal-Review. At mid-semester the Gold and Blue underwent a radical change. The circulation was not suliicient to make advertising pay so a new plan was devised. The paper was changed to eight, three-column pages. It was printed by our printing department under the direction of Mr. Biddle. The paper was furnished free to every pupil in the school. This step also helped the advertisers because the paper was read by more families. Under this set up a paper was forthcoming every week and the students eagerly looked forward to the Fridays when the paper was distributed. Of all school activities none take more concentrated effort and encourage the student to shoulder responsibility more than does the Gold and Blue. Steadiness and reliability are the two characteristic traits most desired in a staff member. Page Eighty-five .a--fl V w L QE. KIAQATMCHIAH.

Page Eighty-six J UAS ATHCHIFID Class of I877 Dear Graduating Class of 1937: Permit me to congratulate you on your achievement of being graduated from high school. As it is now claimed that, with the higher education, the girls and boys of today are on a higher plane than were their parents or grandparents when they were graduated-so it is with fear and trembling I send you a message today. May each one of you succeed in that which you select for your life work. Many years have passed since our nine girls were looking forward to graduation. At times we debated about whether we should wear white dresses, trains or short ones, long or short sleeves. Our class members were Bettie Kennedy, Mary Welty, Kate Krout, Jennie Krout, Nell Brown, Annie Divine, Mate Louis, Stella Brown, and myself. Will we ever forget the feeling of pride when we walked up the aisle of old C'enter Church to tell the whold how much we knew-or rather how little? This sacred spot is now the home of the Grab-it', store where they keep the bread of life. Our class orated on such subjects as Icarian Wings , The Search for Truth , Beyond the Alpine Summits Lieth Thine Italy . Nothing is comparable to the joy of the boy or girl graduate. It seems to be the Opening of the door to a new life. Success seems to be just around the corner waiting for us. CTherc's where we are mistaken.J Our class was blessed in having Professor Kritz to lead us our last year and prepare us for some of the hard knocks we were to encounter. Of the nine girls in our class only three are alive, Jennie Krout, Nell Brown and myself. The fly in the ointment comes when curious persons say- Just when did so and so graduate?

Class of 1882 My dear Miss Caster: I am afraid this note of greeting to the Athenian will not deserve space in the paper, but my mind and heart look back to the good old school days and especially the class of 1882. I have been sick for almost a year-in fact have been in miserable health since 1926. With best wishes, MATIE LEE CABLE. Class of I88Z To the Class of 1937, Greetings: Friday, June sixteenth, 1882, the sixth annual commencement of the Crawfords- ville High School was held in the Opera House in the afternoon and evening. There were eighteen members of that class, ten girls and eight boys. Our motto was, A Posse ad Esse, From Possibility to Reality. And now, may you of the 1937 graduating class, with all the wonderful 'possi- bilities before you, realize how important your high school days were and cherish the memory of them, as I have, these fifty-five years. With congratulations and best wishes to each member of the class of 1937g a greeting to any member of the class of 1882 who might, perchance, read thisg and my unfailing interest in the Crawfordsville High School and the alumni. I I am Very sincerely yours, ISAAC NEWTON MILLER. Class of I 887 It is an honor to represent the class of 1887 in extending greetings to the students of C. H. S. The calendar marks the passage of fifty years since our gradua- tion-but I don't believe it. It is always the privilege of the aged to indulge in reminiscence. Our class numbered fourteen, about the average number to be found in classes of that remote time. Perhaps we learned much during the four years, I am not sure. At the end Page Eighty-nine Q 7 I . g E tUAf,ATl-lCI'lIAflt 11 of our senior year we all were required to write orations. Six were selected to present theirs on the stage of the old Music Hall, now the Strand Theatre, on com- mencement night. The subjects discussed show a wide range of interests. Here are some of them: Dickens in America, The Holy Conquest, Open Sesame, The Fate of Despotismf' Uneasy Lies the Head that Wlears a Crown, A Vision of London Tower, and The Imagination. The subject I selected was Liberty Enlightening the World. I thought it timely, for France's gift to America was then new. Great was my disappointment when I was asked to substitute Charlemagne . At least my opening sentence was creditable: All history, says Emerson, very easily resolves itself into the biographies of a few stout and earnest persons. I seem to remember that quotation marks were used frequently in the six-minute speech. At the close of the program on that great night we were arranged on the stage in a semi-circle facing the audience. The pleasing picture of youth and beauty was our white silk mitts, and greatly enhanced by our long dresses touching the floor, new enormous, and greatly admired fans of Spangled gauze or fluffy feathers. Flower girls brought the offerings of our friends and piled them Principal George L. Mackintosh made an address to the on the lioor at our feet. class and Superintendent Temple H. Dunn presented the diplomas. Believe it or not, there was only one other teacher in the high school then, Mr. A. S. C'uster. Our school has grown in the half century. We believe that it has kept pace with all that is worthwhile in the educational world. I bespeak for it your loyalty as it has, I am sure, the loyalty of all the survivors of 1887. Sincerely, CLARA BROCKMAN. Class of I887 Time in its untiring flight has taught many to forget, but there is one whose thoughts go back to the happy days when in high school. We .were fourteen in number and, according to the last report of the class, eight are living. Our motto was- For life, not for school, we learn. How true are these words. The many changes and great advantages of today are most wonderful. I should like to mention especially our music. Many days I am out on the back porch listening to band or orchestra practice. When I go to other cities, visiting my children and grands , I feel I can always truthfully tell them we have the very best high school in Indiana. There is something I should like to tell to this outgoing class and to all the I have my diploma and seven of my children received their same high school. I've been told that this is so far the state in one family. Wie, the class of '87, extend to the readers of the Athenian. diplomas-all from the greatest number in the class of '37 a hearty welcome into our Alumni Association. We hope you will enjoy being with us many years to follow. Fraternally, BLANCH D. HARDING. Class of 1887 , What delightful memories come to me in my California home as I send greetings to every one of the Alumni, East and West, and North and South! Are you breaking the tenth commandment because I have lived in this wonderful state forty-nine years? Certainly you are free from this transgression in this unusual winter of 1937. It was my privilege to live for twenty years in beautiful Pasadena, called the home of multi-millionaires. It is, also, a place of culture and high standards, moral and religious. Los Angeles, my present home, the fifth city in population of the United States, affords rare privileges. One can reach ten or twelve beach towns in a short time over the finest highways in the country or find countless mountain resorts of rare beauty within easy access. As to Catalina, my summer retreat, it is difficult to exaggerate concerning the privileges of bathing, fishing and boating in a calm bay without fear of disaster. If I should give you the weight of bass and tuna that I, myself, have seen brought in, you would designate me by a stronger and more reprehensible term than California Booster, and so, with best wishes for you all, I subscribe myself MINNIE A. CO-RTELYOU. Dear Madam: Page Ninety UALATHCHIAH Class of l 892 Dear Alumni Friends: The one thing that stands out in my memory of the class of 1892 is the young man who came to teach in high school when we were juniors and taught us for two years. He had just been graduated from Wabash College and was especially fond of chemistry. We had a laboratory in the east wing of the old school building and we worked there every afternoon mixing chemicals and taking things apart. One day in early spring the teacher, Mr. Finley P. Mount, had gone to his country home some ten miles from Crawfordsville and on Saturday afternoon he heard that the third floor of the building had been severely damaged by fire during the morning. One of our class, Mary Morgan tBrewerJ, had asked permission to complete some experiments that morning and Mr. Mount told me in after years how alarmed he was when he heard about the fire, and how he drove the ten miles in a buggy through mud and rain to Crawfordsville expecting to hear that Mary was in the tire and, possibly, had started it through an explosion. You of the present generation cannot appreciate what a ten mile trip with horse and buggy over muddy roads, soft from a spring thaw, meant in those days-no automobiles and no paved roads. After the fire Mr. Mount persuaded the Wabash College authorities to allow us to use the college laboratory. The consent was grudg- ingly given as they were afraid that it would ruin their boys to have girls so near them. One thing that happened in our senior year afforded us a great deal of amusement. Some of the girls hid in the loft over the stage at Music Hall when the Wabash seniors held a rehearsal for their class play. As our play came a week or so before theirs we were able to give enough of their show to amaze them-even if it were not altogether intelligible to the general public. Our commencement was unusual and we thought it very pretty. Dressed in white we posed with a black background while Miss Mary W'ilhite tKennedyl read The Death of Hiawatha. Mrs. Kennedy had come home the year before from the School of Dramatic Art at Boston. The two boys in the class were allowed to give orations. Yours most cordially, LULU BRITTEN HAINS. Class of l892 Dear Miss Caster: It would be hard to refuse to comply with your request of recent date, although I am sure that I am a, poor representative of the class of 1892. These figures do bring to mind the stern realization that it is quite a stretch of years since the twelve girls and two boys, on June 4, '92, became alumni of dear old C. H. S. I think this is the only C. H. S. class that ever was graduated from Wabash College. But late in our senior year fire so badly damaged the old high school building that it could not be used, and our classes were finished in the college buildings. In a few years the members of the class became widely scattered as to residence. Two went east and two to the far westg three chose the mid-west and only two are now living in Crawfordsville. Death has claimed three of our number. The address of one I do not know, and in more recent years my adopted home is in the Sunshine City of Florida, Where Spring Spends the Winter. Some of our members have- not met in many years, and it certainly would be an enjoyable occasion if the surviving members could meet once more at commencement season of C. H. S, and spend a little while recounting experiences that have come into the lives of each during this span or years. Joys and sorrows doubtless have come in full measure to each, but to all we trust life has seemed eminently worth while. It is a wonderful age in which we have lived, with the marvelous inventions and discoveries, scientific, electrical and otherwiseg and to you, the class of 1937, we predict that the years just ahead will unfold mysteries undreamed in our present day. Truly this is a beautiful world in which to live, and sometimes to me the thought is tinged with a bit of sadness that there are not so many years left in which to Page Ninety-one CMS 14 UAMCITJ-ICIlIFlIlr live and work and seek out the beauties that everywhere abound, and in the words of the muchloved poem written a few years ago-- I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again. Greetings and hearty good wishes to every member of the class of 1937. Sincerely yours, STELLA WASSON MCMAKEN. Class of l897 From 1897 to 1937-Greetings: So you want greetings to the Crawfordsville High School class of 1937 from the class of 1897 through me? Well, well! That's going back a long way. Why, that encompasses a span of forty years, come to think of it, and- Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year, When Ninety-seven did arrive And drew a mighty cheer! CAnonymous and unnecessaryj Two score years! And there were-twenty-two of us-eighteen girls and four boys. Yes, forty years! Fair, fat, and forty, you might say, for as I go back in my mind's eye I see those eighteen girls, all easy to look at, most of them pleasingly plump and now all well past forty. And those four boys! Only two of us are left I believe, one a success in life, and me. The class is all scattered now, although from time to time I meet some of them and hear occasionally of the others. But don't let me reminisce or there'll be no end of this rambling rhapsody. If there be any special message I would give to the class of '37 from those who left the old school forty years ago, it would be for you to cherish a very rich heritage of these, your formative and happiest days. It is the heritage of a. very unusual city and of a school that has a very real personality. Crawfordsville, I have learned through many years of travel all over this wide country, is known'in every nook and cranny of the nation, and known favorably. It is not regarded as just another dot on the upper left hand side of the map of Indiana, for her many sons and daughters who have gone forth to occupy their various niches in the life of America, have carried her fame to its uttermost stretches. As I have met them in many places I have found the love of the old town still strong upon them, and we indulge in boasting of her many superiorities, our hearts invariably warming to her in the fond recollections our chance meetings engender. Once in New York I was hailed on a busy street by one I l1adn't seen in more than twenty years. Whenever and wherever I hear someone yell Skinny! I turn involuntarily, and this time it was Byron CBarneyJ Hughes who had picked me out, and you may be sure we had a fine afternoon talking over old C. H. S. days, although we hadn't been in the same class. Again, at the other end of the continent, I met an old Crawfordsville boy making good in Seattle, Washington. Henry Ristine it was who ran across me in a hotel lobby, and we attended the Rotary Club meeting together, played golf together that afternoon, and talked of old times in Crawfordsville. Those are only two of many such incidents, but they go to show how C. H. S. is represented all over the land. They are all proud of the days they spent in that fine old school between Jefferson and College streets. fYou see, I ha.ven't even forgotten the street names-I hope-though I have been gone nearly thirty-five years.J And the school. Those earlier teachers gave it a character and a living personality that I fondly think never has been lost. Their successors have carried on the high standards, but I can think only of the sainted Miss Anna Willson, the stern and austere Temple H. Dunn, the irascible Isaac N. Wellington, the patient Hannah Muhleisen, who strove mightily but without much success to implant in me some of the rudiments of algebra and geometry, and many others, who all had their parts in making a school that simply must have been better-at least more human-than the ordinary run of small town high schools. The whole staff was well chosen and they were able to impress their own better traits upon those they sought to instruct, even if, as in my case, they simply could not make gold out of clay. .And maybe, after all, that is the worthwhile gist of real education. Page N ifncty-two FIAQATHCHIAH Thus, after forty years, I and I am sure all of my old schoolmates too, have a very real love for and devotion to the old school. In our memories it is in no sense just a machine for turning out graduates. It is something living, something forceful, and still has a guiding infiuence in our lives. As it is in the lives of us oldsters of '97 and thereabouts, I think it will come also to be in the lives of you youngsters of '37. I think I know because of my contacts in later years with the boys and girls of my time who have learned to revere their alma mater. And so my greeting to the class of 1937: Be forever proud of your city! Be eternally proud of your school! You will do yourself proud in honoring them in all the years to come, for both are giving you something which will last throughout your lives and which I am narrow enough and still provincial enough to believe you couldn't get in substance and quality anywhere else on earth. My own greatest disappointment in life has been that I have not been able to arrange things so that I might go back to Crawfordsville to live, for to my way of thinking, It,s the best darn place this side of heaven, and Lordy, how I would like to turn back the years and be going to school up there in old Central. The class of 1897 extends its compliments and fervert best wishes to the class of 1937. May you always uphold your school's best traditions, and may you have so imbibed of the cup of education it has held forth to you that as you go on in college or out to make your various ways in world, you will hold high the torch of honor, of truth, of energy, of youthful enthusiasm, and last, but not least, of loyalty to the school which has given you a preparation for the unending battle which we call life. HARRY G. EVANS, C. H. S. 1897, Louisville, Kentucky. Class of 1897 It was a shock to be asked to a twenty-fifth reunion of our class of 1897 and now to write a greeting after forty years is beyond words. Yet as We begin to reminisce, the years are blotted out and we recall happy days in C. H. S., a class of eighteen girls and four boys-ready for graduation-our class play, A Night Wlith Authors, with Mayme Wilhite and lVIiss Anna drilling us for a perfect performance. We are sorry the members of our class have not kept in closer touch so We could record something of each one. Only very occasionally, indeed, do we meet with any one of them, with the single exception of Harry Evans-one of the two boys left of the original four. We meet him at places where we are attending conventions. Not having had adequate contacts for giving you the doings of other members of the class of 1897, we are going to be presumptuous enough to extend in behalf of us old timers-greetings and well-wishes to you youngsters of the class of 1937- and, too, may we, speaking from these many years of experience, 1'emind you that your lives will be largely what you make them. Sincerely, JUNE DORSEY KNOUFF., Class of l897 Greetings to C. H. S. Much water has passed under the bridge, In the years since our class left the school, But we still remember with pleasure, Those days of our learning life's rule. Over half of our classmates of twenty Are still living and loyal to you, Though scattered all over the country, They will always to C. H. S. be true. Page Ninety-three 4,1-I L I F L .

This well chosen motto has been Written above the door to our assembly room, and we could each well afford to take the above mandate as a guide for our individual lives. We can judge better than any other whether we have rendered the fullest measure of service, Your deeds may sometimes be misjudged, but if your actions have been prompted by an honest purpose and a sincere desire for the attainment cf a lofty ideal, criticism directed against you will stand for naught. PAUL STUMP. Class of 1907 Alumni Editor: Congratulations to the class of 1937 from the class of 1907. Thirty years have made many changes in Crawfordsville High School, but not in the enthusiasm and energy of the graduating class. We hope you will extend this into useful and happy lives, and that your four years of high school in retrospect will always bring you as much pleasure and happiness as you now enjoy. Sincerely, LLOYD H. DAVIS. Page Ninety-four Ulla ATI-ICIlIA1l Class of I907 To the Alumni of Crawfordsville High School I send hearty greetings from the class of 1907. We are quite well scattered over the length and breadth of the United States-of course there is a slight concentration in Crawfordsville. Having been graduated thirty years ago we belong to the group who went to the old building. We can remember Mr. Dorsey ringing the school bell-perhaps holding it a second to let some one slide into his seat in safety, the celebrations Miss Anna planned to celebrate victories, and many other events. To the class of 1937, when you celebrate your thirtieth commencement reunion, may you have just as many pleasant memories and just as many lasting friendships as we have. These greetings come from both the Cochrans. C, H. S. 1907. FLORENCE LACEY COCHRAN. Class of I9I2 307 S. Fair St., Champaign, Illinois. As representative of the Class of 1912, I am happy to extend greetings and all good wishes from the members of the class of a quarter of a century ago. Happy days in dear old C. H. S. under the sponsorship of Miss Anna Willson and L. N. Hines, with such distinguished Athenian sons and daughters as: the Millers, lieth, Buddy, and John, the Halls, Hazel, Fern, and Nellie, the Snyders, Helen, Edmund, and Gladys, the Myers, Elliie, Ben and Joseph, the Clements, Arthur and Ruth, Allen, Dorsey, Barker, Mae, Clyne, Hilda, Ceiling, Earl, Crane, Lillian, Davidson, Marion, Davis, Ralph, Hesler, Link , Joel, Jake , Keyes, Lyman, Leazenby, Ruth, McCabe, Anna, Moon, Cecil, the Sinclairs, Catharine and Hazel, Scott, Florence. Here memory betrays me in recalling all those illustrious classmates. Wherever our 'tSeventy Strong may dwell, their thoughts and loyalties, I assure you, steal back now and then to those delightful friendships and glorious days of 1912. LOUISE S. GREEN. The Greens, Johnnie Sr. , Johnnie Jr. , and Louise dwell at the above address. The latch string is always out. L. S. G. Class of 1912 To the Class of 1937: I bring you greetings from the C'1ass of 1912. Here's hoping that you realize how fortunate you are to be living in a city so ideally located, and to be a member of one of the finest high schools in the United States, and to be able to select a course of study suited to your own desires. I feel deeply interested in your class as many of you have been former pupils of mine at Willson school. Your principal was my geometry teacher, and very much liked by our class. Your Miss Mary Guilliams and myself were the two youngest members of the Class 1912, and our class was the first to graduate from the new building. Our freshman class started with one hundred twenty and we graduated with seventy-six. All the girls in our class under the guidance of Miss Anna Willson made their own commencement dresses in sewing class. Louise Miller modeled the dress I wore at last year's Alumni banquet. Space will not permit me to tell you where all the members of our class are and what they are doing. Florence Scott Hungate and I are planning a class reunion at the 1937 Alumni banquet, at which time 1912 will celebrate the Silver Anniversary. Prof. Tapy said, The test of true education is in being able to successfully adapt yourself to your environment and improve the lives and ideals of those with whom we live. Miss Anna Willson, our loved Principal, said, Hitch your wagon to a star, then try to work up to it. 'Our lives never reach higher than our ideals. We all sincerely hope that this commencement time will be one of the happiest events in your life. Page Ninety-Jive 'l'L.4 l UAMCITI-ICllIFIfll This old World needs courageous leaders, and your opportunities are manyg statesmen, executives, doctors, nurses, teachers, and ministers are especially needed. I am sure that you, the class of 1937, will be true to Old Gold and Blue traditions and give Service to the world that will make all of us very proud of you. Most sincerely your friend, HAZEL HALL LITTLE. Class of I9l 7 Dear C. H. S. Students, Alumni, and Friends: Greetings from the class of 1917. Just the mention of 1917, what does it suggest? War! How well do I remember that morning in April when we were in Miss Anna's Senior English class. The whistle of the electric light company blew and immediately several of the boys left class. Wfar had been declared. The National Guard had been summoned to duty. From then on feelings were tense. Our commencement had to be simple. Uniform dresses, which were five dollar white middy suits, were Worn by the girls. The commencement decorations were iiags and bunting. Economy was the watchword. We had no receptions. If I remember correctly, most of the boys were given special leave to come back and receive their diplomas. Our class gift was the electric flag that hangs over the entrance to the high school building. I shall repeat the last line of my commencement oration. Inspired by history, thrilled by war, the class of seventeen goes forth a unit of resolution to write for their country a new chapter of love and service in the deeds of patriotism for every day. And what has .been written by the class of '17 in the twenty years past? Perhaps the usual average of any class. As I recall, almost any trade or profession has a representative from our classflawyers, professors, farmers, engineers, salesmen, and in these days of quintuplets we can boast of a member who is the mother of triplets now grown to high school age. Speaking in a low voice I know that far too many of our class have gone the way of Reno. Perhaps tha.t was a result of the war. In memoriam, four of our number have gone to their final Graduation. Having a boy ready to leave high school and a girl in her freshman year, it is a great pleasure to live over those high school days. Believe it or not, I can still work algebra problems and say amo, amas, amat. A few of the C. H. S. teachers now were with us back in seventeen. Your august principal, Mr. Freeman, gave me the only calling down I ever had in my high school years. When a high and mighty senior, he said to me and Elizabeth Kelsey fDeereJ, If you two little girls want to play, you may put on your overshoes and go outside. That shall always be my most embarrassing moment. VVhen I started to write this, thoughts were few, but events come to my mind until now a volume could be written. But, Class of '37, we wish you well. Twenty years will bring to you those same joys and sorrows. Be ready for whatever comes. Sincerely, LOIS DAVIDSON KEIM. Ciass of l9I 7 Dear Classmates of 1917: - - Twenty years after! Few of us who were graduated with the Class of 1917 had lived twenty years at that time-so we have more than doubled our life-times since graduation. A few of our friends, teachers, and classmates have solved the Great Problem - may their names be ever pleasant memories. ' 1917! The war started in April.

Class of I 922 I feel very fortunate to be the lucky one from my class of '22, to be chosen to write to the Athenian of '37. When I do a. little substracting I find I have been an alumnus of C. H. S. for fifteen years, and all but a few of those years have taken me away from Crawfordsville, so I have not been in touch with school for some time. Your invitation to write this letter brought me to the sudden realization of all these things. I have many treasured and pleasant memories of Crawfordsville High School. Included among these is the remembrance of Anna Willson as principal of the high school. She was a splendid teacher and a great inspiration to us all. Her light hair, blue eyes, and beautiful personality are painted in my memory. Crawfordsville High School has been outstanding in the field of athletics, music, and literary achievements. The school has graduated many statesmen, scholars and artists. It is my hope that your class will add a goodly number to this field of outstanding citizens. Dear Alumni Editor: With best wishes, ELIZABETH CLEMENTS SHARPLESS, Indianapolis, Indiana. Class of 1922 I feel it an honor and a privilege to represent the class of 1922 in extending greetings and best wishes to the class of 1937. I humbly accept that task. Fifteen years have quickly passed. Looking over the list of my classmates, I am wondering how many of us have reached the goals we made for ourselves, when we proudly marched from the portals of dear old C. I-I. S., confident of the future. The last few years have been full of adversities, and perhaps some of us have tasted discouragement, but let us have faith and courage, and we shall march on to success with ever flying banners. With a graduating class of 108 members, we have the distinction of being the first to go over the century mark. We are scattered to the four corners of the earth, and some of our classmates we shall neither see nor hear of again, but we have the happy memories of our years together, and they shall ne'er fade from our view . May we here pay tribute to our one missing classmate, Randolph Wedding. Under his name in the 1922 Athenian we find these words, A gentlemen on whom I build an absolute trustf' I see several familiar faces among the present faculty of C. H. S. and also one of our own classmates. Most of us have strayed far from our Class Prophecy. Many of the girls have forsaken careers to become wives and mothers. The boys have entered various professions, and I have heard promising reports from many of them. Let us all hail to the Class of 1937, who will soon join us in the ranks of the ever increasing Alumni Army of our dear old Alma Mater. JEANNETTE KOSTANZER CRISLER, Marion, Indiana. Class of l922 In the name of the class of 1922 I extend sincere greetings and best wishes to the graduating class of 1937! Those of us who were seniors in 1922, as you are in 1937, could not imagine our- selves fifteen years older. To us then thirty-ish was terribly old as it is to you today. You may think of us as being senile or maybe of the horse and buggy age. To the class of 1937: Page N inety-seven 41 UALATHCDIAH We had a good class yet we haven't reached the age Where we think the best has been and that your class couldn't compare with ours. At least I hope we appreciate the moral of the story that when an Englishman said that the hundred year old Punch was not as good as it used to be he was met by the rejoinder that it never Was. While I have not the pleasure of knowing many of you personally I know your class is a good one. You have the same ambitions, the same talents that we had, may will and the advantages of Hfteen years of change and development. While you take your past four years for granted now, perhaps after fifteen years you find it a pleasure to reminisce as I have done in writing thisg of old associations. old friendships, and happy times we had in high school. Some of us live in Craw- fordsville and vicinity, one is on your faculty, others are scattered, but when we do meet we have a bond in common-C. H. S.-The Gold a.nd Blue. You come from a school of which to be proud! I wish for you a life of which to be proudg a happy and interesting one! Sincerely, SUE MORTON JENKINS. Class of 1927 Ten years! It hardly seems possible that this length of time has elapsed since we, the class of 1927, roamed the halls of C. H. S. But since Commencement Day, May 26, 1927, tive days after Lindbergh's ilight to Paris, we have traveled far and wide. I know of some in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, New York, Florida and Virginia-and one in South America. Many hold college and honorary degrees-a few are even Ph.D.'s and school teachers. We have attorneys. doctors, bankers, farmers and housewives. A few have died. The children now probably outnumber the original class of 116. All this can happen in ten years. But Wherever we are, or whatever we are doing, we all cherish fond memories of our days at old C. H. S. It is my earnest hope that the class of 1927 can have a grand reunion at this year's alumni banquet. Very truly yours, KENNETH L. WARREN, Chicago, Illinois. Class of I 932 My dear Athenian Staff: - I feel something like Methuselah when you write me as an old alumnus. I came up with a start when I received your letter and realized our class of '32 had been out tive years. These have been five years of ups and downs for all of us. We have not been out long enough to have you point with pride to any of us as an illustrious alumnus of old C. H. S.g so give us a few years more to prove ourselves. Thanks for giving us this little chance for the class of '32 to say Hello to all of you, and we wish you the best of luck with your Athenian and much success after you leave old C. H. S. Dear Miss Caster: Sincerely, BOB KIRKPATRICK, Class of '32. Class of 1932 Dear Crawfordsville High School: In addressing such a comprehensive organization I iind myself at something of a loss in trying to express what I have to say. Looking back over one's high school days is, like all reminiscense, a thing of general impression with a few distinct points of memory here and there to serve as mile- stones. Such high lights as commencement activities, athletic events and working on the Gold and Blue , Ink Drops , and the Athenian make up a four years' patchwork which is as attractive as it was worth while. May the members of the class of '37 have as much pleasure in retrospect as we of '32 have had. With best wishes to the 1937 Athenian' 'and to you all, .H MARJORIE MACKINTOSH.

Athenian Each year a group of seniors, outstanding in school activities, is chosen to super- vise the publication of the Athenian. This year the staff is composed of 19 members. Martha Moon and Dick Ristine, the editors, checked and revised the copy, made the dummy, corrected the proof, and wrote everything that was not assigned to someone else. Josephine McCarthy and George Gilkey, the business managers, took charge of the sales campaign, handled all finances of the Athenian, and took charge of the distribution. Carl Todd, the art editor, assisted by Miss Martin, designed and cut the linoleum blocks for the division pages. Elizabeth Caster wrote to many of the C. H. S. alumni and the result is the interesting collection of alumni letters. Alta Thompson capably handled the clubs, and bits of her work may be found scattered through the book. Isabel Taylor wrote activities and her work, too, is not concentrated in one part of the book. Elah Rice, Bob Macherey, and Ross Hahn divided the athletics into three groups -girls' athletic activities, football, and basketball, and each took excellent charge of his own section. Marjorie Ecker and Bob Peirce wrote the music section and the result of their work speaks for itself. Although Athenian copy was due at the height of debate season, Bob Tompkins handled both his debate work and his speech arts department copy very capably. In addition to writing the calendar Mary Lou Denney also was an accurate weather proiiteeven to rain on April 1. Emory Simmons and Rachel Norman supervised the humor and managed to mention each senior at least once in that section. If the members of the staff were listed in order of the amount of work done, the two typists, Anna Ruth Knight and Evelyn Nordman would be well up on the list, for every word of the Athenian not only had to be written but also typed. However, no one position is more important than the other-each person must be sure that his own job is done efficiently and completely. The 1937 Athenian staff has been outstanding just as the other organizations in C. H. S. have been outstanding this year. If a mistake or two has crept into the book-as it is certain to doejust remember that an excellent basketball team sometimes misses free throws, a debate squad sometimes fumbles the rebuttal, an actor sometimes misses his cue, and a musician sometimes strikes a sour note.
