Crawfordsville High School received a signal honor this yearfan honor that brings with it the highest connnendation and a state-wide recognition . . . and all of this honor and recognition are heaped upon the quite able shoulders of one jolly, energetic redhead, Florence Oltman. You all know t'Flossie . As the busy president of the Sunshine Society, you've seen her dashing around the hall, frowning thoughtfully as she takes care of all its heavy business. As a ''quiek-on-the-trigger debater, you've heard her literally wither her opponents with scathing sarcasm. As a musician, you've wondered how she ever gets a musical note out of that funny stovepipe, the bass-oon. But the culmination of all of Florenee's school activities and minor honors was her selection by the Daughters of the American Revolution as the most outstanding school girl in the state this year. Florence was chosen to represent 'Indiana in the annual good citizenship tour to XVashington, D. C., which took place in April. A girl from every state went on the tour which included visits to the XVhite llouse, Mount Vernon, the Congressional Library, and other points of national interest. Even the famous Japanese cherry trees were out in full bloom to make the trip complete. And so, forgetting for the moment, her activities and services to the school we salute the girl whose friendliness, willingness, vitality, and sparkling per- sonality make her highly deserving of an equally high honor. 1 To Those Who Help . . lt seems that there is one very modest, very unpublicized group here that should be given special mention and some praise that is well-merited. XVho cleans up after all the school doin's? NVho keeps us warm in the winter and cool in the spring? NVho washed the windows so we could see the people going by? YVhy, the janitors. of course . . . and we would be very lost without them. All of our janitors have become familiar to us-even if we don't all know all ot their names, but we think we should identify them. for you, The tall, smiling man with the glasses is. of course, Mr. Haines. The very smallest one with the curly black hair is the jolly Mr. Long, another small man with glasses is our very friendly and polite Mr. Shoafg the youngest one who Uholds them downi' in the lunchroom is Mr. Cline, and the good natured one who takes care of upper east is Mr. Banks. For a lot of fine work and especially for their patience with us, we salute the janitors-every one of them.

Our atten- tion was iirst attracted to thc- dining car, of course, by the delightful odors issuing forthg and, upon investigation, we found that this was the ll0lllC evononiivs class, Sllljillilllg out sonic cookies hehind the ehefls bark, we sidled out, promising! ourselves to eonie havk soon, We went into the drawiiig room next to see the students do their inechanival drawing: but it got too teelmirfal for us so we left. For a while wo just stood and looked out the windows at all the land which the Ag boys were farming. 'l'l1C'll we went 011 an inspection tour ot the train to inarvvl at all the wood and metal devices and furnishingxs whivh the shop boys had niade. We also tool: spevial notiee of the tinieftahlew and hnlletins. etc.. that the print shop turned out. Our vourse we visited all the aeacleinnf vlasses, and we admired the pictures in the art departinent. Then we all gathered around and sang somrs and listened to the inusivians heat it out. Right then and there we devided that it look all of the departnients of the school to make up a train that was inode-rn, pleasant, and on time.

The administrators in a high school whieh is preparing young men and women for more efficient service in the higher institutions of learning' are very important. Their duties in the operation of the sehool. along with the instruc- tional group, will determine the sentiment and the inner spirit of the schools. To gain a better eoneeption of the functions that the administrative group must perform in their supervision of the sehool. a summary of their duties is given. First of all, the superintendent. N. C. Darnall. and the prineipals of the senior and junior high schools, L. J. C. Freeman and K. C. James, must cope with the general public, they must aeeept responsibility for bringing' about unity and cohesion in the work of all agencies coneerned with the educative proeess. They perform many countless duties in solving the variety of problems that prevail in the organization and in carrying out the routine of work and activities in sehool. ln addition, there are many reports to be made. eheck ups of all kinds, and innumerable other things along this line that would involve a lengthy discussion. With all of these duties and functions to execute. eapable assistants are necessary. In Mr, Darnallls offiec, Mary E. Bowers efficiently performs her many duties. The secretarial work in the high school oftiee is done by Dorothea Knight and Ada Williams. Often we do not give due consideration to them for their work. lt was be effieient at all times, and they prove themselves important factors in the administration of the sehool and its activities. ln addition to the superintendent and principals, in the administrative body of the sehool, is the sehool board. who devote much valuable time in working for the betterment of our sehool. The school hoard is composed of Mr. Clyde Rogers, Mr. Claude Ewoldt, and Nr. Romulus Minnieh. These men. who spend their time and etfort to build a better school and ereate a. sehool with high standards, must be given worthy praise. M. C.

Englisli and Language The languages offered at Ui-awfordsville High School are English, liatin, and French. Three years of English are required for graduation. The work is organized so as to give composition and grammar one semester and literature the next. The fourth year of English, which is taught by Miss Schweitzer, is elective. Since there was no creative writing class this year, composition was stressed in the first. semester of the twelfth grade work during which time the class wrote short stories, autobiographies, poems, and research papers on careers. The literature in the second semester began with the study of early English background and concluded with contemporary ,English writers. The following members of the faculty teach the major part of their work in the English departnient: Miss Mary Mildred Schweitzer.. .head of department.. A. B. from Hanover... recently earned her M.

Others who teach English classes but who have the major part of their work in other departments are Mr. Burns, Miss Mahan, Miss Dennis and Mrs. Miller. French and Latin are the only languages taught. French, a two year course, is taught by Miss Burrin, Four years of Latin are offered: beginning, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil. Two organizations, the Classical Club and Plus Ultra, function within the Latin department. As a yearly project, a Latin paper, the Palladium, is published under Miss Caster's supervision.

Slides and visual instruction add interest to the course. Eighth grade students get their first taste of science. In the general science classes, Mr. Sullivan builds a foundation for advanced and more ditfi- cult laboratory sciences to he studied in senior high school. Biology is offered in the ninth and tenth grades and may be studied then to meet the science requirement for graduation. Mr. Stout makes the subject interesting in many ways. Collections of leaves, insects, and flowers are madeg furthermore, there is the added pleasure of field trips in the spring fever season of the year. Chemistry and physics are offered to juniors and seniors as a major science. Mr. Risley teaches both sciences. Page Forty li.. UAQATJ-ICI'IIAI'I The complete mathematics course covers six years. It is offered in this manner: arithmetic in the seventh and eighth gradesg algebra and general mathematics in the ninthg plane geometry in the tenth, one semester each of advanced algebra and of solid geometry in the eleventhg and college algebra and trigonometry in the twelfth.

History and Social Studies In addition to the history studied in the seventh and eighth grades, three years are required of each student for graduation. The curriculum for advanced work includes the history of the United States as well as that of foreign nations. Two interesting and informational current event papers are sent weekly from XVashington, D. C. These papers are 'iThe Junior Reviewn for the junior high students, and The American Observer for the senior high classes.

Miss NVeleh received her degree from Indiana State Teachers' College and attended the lfniversity of XVisconsin. Members of the safety classes organized a Safety Club this year and enlisted as members almost 21 hundred per cent of the school enrollment. A code was formulated composed ot rules ivhich apply to safety at home. at school, during recreational activities, on a bicycle. in motor vehicles, for pedestrians and tor vocational activities. Mr. McCullough is head man in the safety department. The health department functions in two waysathrough class instruction and the school nurse. Classes this year were divided among Miss NVelch, Miss Fertieh. Mr, Craver. Mr. McCullough, Hr. Servies. and Mr. Cummings. All ot' these teachers have the major part of their work in another department. Alice Funk, the school nurse, serves grade as Well as high school students.

The department prints school tickets, The Gold and Blue, programs. and all school forms. The printing work is very extensive along this line and has proved to be a saving to the school. The training in this department is valuable to students in other courses in the school. ln addition to the immediate value, it has prepared many of the boys for the future. Mr. Biddle stated that approximately forty former students are employed by l7onnelley's Printing Corporation. Mr. Biddle received his degree in manual training from Valparaiso l'ni- versity and since has attended Indiana State Teachers' College.

The woodshop under the direction of Mr. VVoodruFf, is divided into several classes which study the various fields of work such as electricity, woodwork. machine woodwork, et Cetera. ln the first years of Junior High School, the boys are taught how to handle simple tools, make drawings, work with electricity, and make small projects by hand-all of which are essential in the primary steps of this particular vocation. The shop is working on the general shop plan. Although he is handicapped by lack ol' room space and necessary facilities to carry his program out more successfully, Hr. lVoodrutt keeps the work moving in all the various phases ol' snbiects taught.

S. from Purdue University. Art The art department in high school is divided into two sections: the begin- ning class, and the advanced. The beginning class has worked on projects dealing with the fundamentals such as perspective of planes and solids. imaginary building, color in light and shade and all the phases ot' art that can be applied to everyday living and thc enjoyment of daily surroundings. ln the craft class some very good miniature figures have been modeled which will be cast in plaster. The most important Christmas problems were the large stained glass window designed for a background for the Christmas concert, the wooden toys for the Sunshine society, and the modernistic shelves and flower pots. The latter part of the year is devoted to the fine arts, drawing and painting, with a few attempting oil painting: and outdoor sketching on pleasant days in the spring. Page Forty-aight .il UAQATI-ICDIAH The most important project for the second semester was a book on art made by members of the advanced class. This book contains a series of illus- trated examples of the lessons the classes have had and an explanatory article on how it was completed and its general use. Each student designed a page and wrote an article. The drawings were stenciled and printed by the students and three hundred copies bound. They were distributed to the students, teachers, and art clubs, and a. copy was placed in the library. The exhibits this year were on daily work on our own bulletin board, a demonstration exhibition at the high school open house, and an invitational demonstration exhibit at the John Herron Art Institute at Indianapolis during State Teachers' Association, an exhibit with the county at the library, a collection of units of work showing the progress of a lesson at Rall State College at Muncie, an exhibit of all types of lessons at the National VVestern Arts at Grand Rapids, Michigan, and our spring exhibition. The teacher . . . Catherine Martin . . . a graduate of Ball State Teachers' College . . . is working on her masteris degree at Ohio State University. Commercial Tap . . . tap . . . a-s-d-f-space . . . as the train speeds over the rails . . . so fingers speed over the keys . . . and how the railroad company does balance its budget! The commercial department has become an increasingly important part of the school curriculum. The course of study is varied enough to meet the needs of many students. Two years of shorthand, one year of typing, two years of bookkeeping, and one semester each of commercial arithmetic, com- mercial geography and salesmanship are offered. The second year of shorthand is required of all students before credit for the first year is accepted. Practical experience in secretarial work is gained during this second year, as students are assigned to various teachers for whom they act as secretaries. This novel method serves the two-fold purpose of aiding both students and teachers. Although only one year of regular class work in typing is offered, in the second year of shorthand an effort is made to remedy the need for more typing by requiring students to type their transcriptions. Accuracy and speed in transcription are attained. It is hoped that the course for next year will in- clude the two full years of typing. The first semester of typing work is spent on fundamentals. During the second semester the students work on budgets. Constant emphasis is placed on increased accuracy and speed. Students may study bookkeeping for two years. The second year is entirely optional. Commercial arithmetic, geography, and salesmanship courses give students a background for business careers. Plans are being made to re-install the course in commercial law next year. and the department hopes soon to give more training in office practice. Many graduates of our commercial department are holding responsible positions and the department frequently is asked to recommend capable students. The faculty . . . U Charles B.

Cummings spent his second year as football coach of the Athenians and, although he started with only four lettermen on the squad, he soon developed them into a game-winning team. However, winning the game is not the only purpose of a coach. He instills into each boy a spirit of fine play and fairness which will stay with him many years after his graduation. Mr. Cummings has admirably carried out these purposes. We wish him every possible success in the future.

Second best competitors, Perry Lewis Perry was our yell leader again this year and with the aid of his previous experi- ence, he certainly kept the fans pulling for the team. Of course a team must have plenty of support from the crowd before they play their best, so Perry's job was very important and was efficiently carried out. Perry is a senior and will leave the duties of yelling to his two understudies, Bill Wright and Bill Stoker.

The music department is one of the outstanding departments in the high school. Because of the many accomplishments of its band, orchestra, chorus, solos, and ensembles, it has brought recognition to the school and community. The popularity of the department is shown by the fact that nearly one-third of the student body is en- rolled in elective music classes. It supports school activities and furnishes music for local organizations and those of surrounding towns. The faculty: JOE A. GREMELSPACHER...bal1d, orchestra, brass and woodwind ensembles. ..

Page Sixty-five UAQATHCHIAH Senior Band The band is composed of seventy-six members and is most outstanding in concert work. It played at football games, the sectional basketball tournament, and the Fall Festival. , , It made its first public appearance in concert work, October 10, at Attica, and its first home appearance just before Thanksgiving. The band played a concert January 20, in which the four student directors had a prominent part. Each led two numbers. A performance was given at the Strand Theat1'e, April 8. For the last concert of the year the junior and senior bands combined in one number. The public enjoyed this immensely.

State Band Clinic The Central-Southern Indiana State Band and Orchestra clinic was held No- vember 25 and 26 at Bloomington. Clinic directors this year were Harold Bachman of the University of Chicago and Mark Hindsley of the University of Illinois. Out of several hundred entries, twelve were selected from Crawfordsville. Those chosen to represent our school were: Barbara Jean McDonald, Barbara Faust, John Croy, William Peirce, Robert Barton, Marjorie Shortridge, Robert Edwards, Charles Kinkead, Marthien-c Fletcher, John McConnell, Mary Gilkey, and Donald Shl111'13.k'91'. Student Directing ancl Baton Twirling Clinic On February 18, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Nutt of the Vandercook School of Music in Chicago conducted a student directing and baton twirling clinic in the high school auditorium. Mr. Nutt was in charge of the student directing and also the playing of the state required numbers for class B, C, and D in the contests. Mrs. Nutt instructed in baton twirling. More than 300 students and directors, representing thirty-eight schools, attended the clinic. junior Band Although the Junior Band does not have an opportunity to appear before the public often, it is an important section of the music department. It joined with the rest of the junior high music classes in presenting the annual Christmas program for the Junior High. Members of the junior band furnish musical programs for many club meetings. Oiicers are: Joanne James, Robert Moon, presidents, Robert Moon, Warren Davis, vice-presidentsg George Robert Young, Laura Wallace, secretaries. Page Sixty-six .l.i ,.. UAL ATHCHIAH Senior Orchestra The senior orchestra is made up of forty-eight members and is an outstanding group. Although medium in size as compared with other groups of the same classifica- tion, it has maintained a high rating, winning first division honors at the national contest in 1937. Much was accomplished by this organization at the contests this Year. The Christmas concert was the first appearance of the orchestra during the school year, and was one of the best performances ever given, The next appearance was a concert given at the Strand Theater two days before Christmas. Several soloists were featured and a most impressive Christmas Fantasy was presented. The National Music Educators' Conference extended an invitation to the orchestra to play an Easter program to be broadcast from coast to coast, but the invitation was declined because of conflict with the students' local religious services. The officers of the organization are: Perry Lewis, president, Robert Barton, vice-presidentg Marjorie Shortridge, secretary, Ruth Kitts and Marjorie Shortridge, corresponding secretariesg Jean Thompson, treasurer. junior Orchestra The junior orchestra is composed of twenty-three members and is und-er the leader- ship of Miss Lois LeSaulnier. Its purpose is to prepare the students for senior orchestra. This year the orchestra took part in the Junior high Christmas chapel and the Junior high honor society program. The officers of this organization are: Sallie Lee Rogers, presidentg Laura Wallace, vice-president, Joanne James, secretary, Helen Thompson and Charles Nelson, librarians. Music Club A meeting is held each month for all members of the music department. The programs consist of solos and ensembles from the band and orchestra and numbers by the chorus. The program committee is composed of Barbara Jean McDonald, Robert Barton, and Donald Walton. Band and Orchestra Parents' Organization This group has been organized for five years and is known as the 500 Booster Club. It is composed of the parents of the students of band and orchestra and any- one else who is interested. Each member of this club must purchase at least one season ticket to the concerts 'given by the band and orchestra during the school year. The purpose of the organization is to support the band and orchestra and to supply the funds necessary for their participation in the contests each year.

Stained Glass Window In making the cathedral window which was used as a background for the Christmas concert, a preliminary sketch of the Madonna and Child was first made so that it would be a center of interest. The stained glass was arranged to center attention on the figures and to correlate with the lines of composition. The window was first designed on paper and then traced on heavy pressed board. Ed Livengood cut out the design with an electric machine. This made the lacy frame- work representing the lead in the stained glass window. After the window had been cut, it was painted with black Tempora and then backed with oiled, colored, construction paper. The paper was oiled so that a light placed behind it would shine through. The face of the Madonna, the Child, and the halos were made on White water color paper with transparent water colors. The whole effect was entirely original. It was used as the background for a choral group in our Christmas Music Festival and als-o at the Strand Theater for the Christmas setting of a musical program. The window was designed and completed by Mary Mickelson with the assistance of the entire art department.

Regular meetings are held each month, A party-dance is usually held at the e11d of the year. Each of the three sponsors is in charge of some division of speech activity. Mr. Grider supervises all debate training. Mrs. Pickett and Mr. Crecelius have charge of all dramatic and oratorical work. The purpose of the club is the furtherance of dramatic and speaking ability and opportunity in the school. To this end they are presenting several plays for the students. All members of the organization either have speaking parts or help in the production. A Friend at Court was the play presented this year. The cast included: Pro- fessor Bruce-John Croy, Junior-Edwin John Sommer, Mrs. Bruce-Jeanne Busenbark, JulieteMary Alice Moore, June-Patty Clearwaters, Mary Frances-Betty Trowbridge, Miles-Ted Chapman, Dean Taylor-Dan Evans. All members of the club serve on the production staff or special committees. On February 10 and 11, the club was represented at the Speech-A1'ts Festival at the Sycamore Theatre, Indiana State Teachers' College, Terre Haute. Ted Chapman, Mabel Myers, Besse Ade, Richard Crecelius, and Eleanor VVarbritton made the trip and were chaperoned by M1'. Crecelius. Oihcers of the club are: Dan Freedman, presidentg Richard Freeman, vice presi- dentg Besse Ade, secretary-treasurer. Page Eighty-mme V 2 1-...a UAQATMCDIAH +..-...- Junior Dramatic Club The Junior Dramatic club has as its purpose the development of dramatic ability in the students of the Junior high school. Members gain valuable experience at the monthly program-meetings and at a chapel in which they present a play. Sponsors of their organization are Miss Arthur and Mr. Sullivan. Officers are: Jean Collett, president, Ann Canine, vice president, Inez Riggs, secretary, Nancy Groendyke, treasurer. Speakers' Bureau The speech class, under the direction of Mr. Crecelius, has formed a Speakers' Bureau again this year. Their purpose is to furnish a speaker on any subject at any time. This is a most valuable service to organizations both in and outside of school, and one that is appreciated by all. Central Indiana Oratoricial Contest This marks the twenty-fifth year of the contest. It was held at Frankfort, November 17. Speakers were present from Frankfort, Delphi, Jefferson, Lebanon, Tipton, and Crawfordsville. Dan Freedman rep1'esented Crawfordsville in the boys' contest with America Beware. The title of Frances Rickett's oration was 'fAssassiu of Youth. She represented C. H. S. in the girls' division. The Anna Willson is held too late for the results to be incorporated in THE ATHENIAN. The entrants this year, however, are Dan Freedman, Robert Millis, Dick Crecelius, Bill Rowland, Perry Lewis, Richard Freeman, and Frances Rickett. Debate Debate formerly was placed in the category of necessary but useless school activities. Happily, through the efforts of Mr. Grider, this impression is being erased and debate rapidly is becoming one of the major interests of the students. Due credit should be paid him for the quality of the teams who have brought state-wide recog- nition to Crawfordsville High School. The regular teams this year are: aliirmative-Dan Evans, Dan Freedmang nega- tive-Florence Oltman, Richard Freeman. ln addition to the work of these five, a lot of work was done by a second squad, most of whom will form the nucleus of next year's team. They are Grover Boling, Edwin John Sommer, and Henry Grzesk. Robert Ormes and Frances Rickett, seniors, also worked on this squad, On January 21, the teams journeyed to Wiley where they took third place in an invitational tourney. Because of the withdrawal of Frankfort, the Triangular debate was not held Page Eighty-t wa Q JAQATHCHIAD .. this year. However, Lebanon and Crawfordsville carried out their part of the contest with Crawfordsville winning both times, In the regular season, Crawfordsville won six and lost three debates, ending a most successful season. For the third consecutive year, Crawfordsville won the district debate tourna- ment held at Lafayette, After defeating Lebanon in the zone tourney, the teams entered the state contest at North Manchester, but were defeated by Elkhart.

Audubon Society Birds-stuffed and otherwise...iield trips in the spring...scientitic talks by students and guest speakers...protection of bird life...perhaps future ornithologists. The Audubon Society is the scientific club of the school. It holds monthly meetings to study all forms of plant and animal life. As early as 1926 a nature club was functioning under the name of the Athenian Research Club. It had as its special subject the study of birds. In 1933 the club joined the Indiana Academy of Science and changed to its present name and purpose. This year there were thirty new members in the club and they did some fine nature study. Mr. Stout is the sponsor and the officers are Ed Ross, president, Dan Evans, vice president, Grant Payne, secretary. Members in the picture are: Back row: Grant Payne, Ed Ross.

Gold ancl Blue To publish a school paper...to cover all the school news co1npletely...to solicit advertising...to collect the bills... to distribute the papers every two weeks.,. all this is by no means a small job for this hard working group oi students. The Gold and Blue is published bi-weekly by the staff under the direction of Mr. Burgess. It is printed by Mr. Biddle and his special printing class. Its platform is to promote co-operation among the pupils, to arouse public interest in school activities, to give knowledge and practice in journalism, to advertise school enter- prises and activities, to advance the sympathy and understanding between school and public, and to develop in staff members qualities of co-operation, responsibility, accuracy, initiative, and leadership. The editorial staff is composed of Sue Mitchell, editor: Edwin Cunningham, business manager: Katherine Kelly, assistant business manager: Edwin John Sommer, circulation manager.

So we went to Turkey Run. We hired a RICKETTy wagon from the village SHUMAKER and started of. We all took a nice hike into the GREEN woods. A CROY Ccryj went up as some- one spied a FISHERman. He was holding his fish by the GILLS. We took the fish along hoping that it would be as NEWBY noon as it was now. Later we met a woman with all her KITTS. One of them, whom she said was a FOSTER child, was eating rasPERRYs. One of them said, I am very STRONG, I could almost kill a WOLF, I INMANgine. IRICKon he could he could, too. We TODDled on until someone complained of a PAYNE in his leg. We just sat there and threw rocks at some COONS. Then someone produced a triple-DECKER HAMM sandwich with PICKEL. DELLINGER took one look and shouted Boy, he EADS like a horse. Everyone wished the sandwich had been DENISON fvenisoni instead of what it was. We then knew it was NOONANd we had better be getting back. Boy oh boy, what a meal we had with lemon-ADE, and we had the fish FRY. The COOK built a roaring fire and once it leaped up, SERING his arm, but the BURNS weren't serious. The SURBER gave us our food, and we ate as FAUST as we could. After that meal everyone was DOWDEN out. They were moaning until it sounded like a convention of town-GRIERS. Then everyone woke up and COMBS were being used by everyone. Then we went out again. This time we went to skip stones on the SURFACE of the water. Before we got very far we met a MILLIONaire by the looks of his clothes. He called one boy over and said, Here's a MICKELSON, inickel, sonj go buy me a cigar, please. Since the boy was going that way, we asked him to bring us some NICHOLS from the Commissary. Then we tried to hit some trees with clods, but the CLODFELTER the ground without hitting anything. We stopped at the spring to drink. Some ELMORE held more than the others. When we started on We left our PETT, MAX, WELL to the rear. We tried to throw stones across the creek and when someone succeeded, the STROUD roared, USHELDON Cwell doneJ. We climbed down to a SHORTRIDGE, on the side of a hill, which was very narrow. If there had been any snow that would have been a nice place for a TIN SLEY. We went back to the commissary and wrote our names on the WALDEN fwall, then! we went upstairs. It began to rain, and everyone wore such looks of disgust that it looked like they had been eating perSIMMONS. It was a fit time out for neither beast NOR MAN. FREEDMAN was waving his ORMES around and shout- ing, At last I am a FREEMAN. I can COLLETT my debts, retire and grow to be an OLTMAN fold manj. We gathered around to sing school songs and BALLARDS Cballadsl. We could hear the frogs croaking around the ponds that were BREEDEN places for mosquitoes. Those mosquitoes felt like they were the real McCOY when they hitg you could tell they weren't fakes. Some of the folks must have been LIVENGOOD fliving goodl because they never got hit once.
