GARRETT HIGH SCHOOL How dear to my heart Are the scenes of my childhood. ON PARADE Ability to show up well on parade does not come by chance. It grows out of long hours of previous training and intelligent practice. Only those who have anticipated and prepared for the responsibilities ahead are really qualified to participate. The emergency does not make men; it merely reveals them. All of us have been, and shall continue to be, on parade. Each will be expected to perform satisfactorily in whatever activity he may engage. Eager spectators will observe us along the line of march. As in the past, our teachers, classmates and parents have watched and evaluated our performances, so shall we continue to be tested in the crucible of adult participa- tion in community and world activities. Prepared by our years of study and training together we shall go forward. We shall make glad those who have put their confidence m us. There is a tide in the affairs of men Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune: Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows, and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves. Or Jose our ventures. BOARD OF DIRECTORS A. W. Gallatin, Treasurer Dr. J. W. Thomson, President D. L. Haffner, Secretary E. Vaughn Minniear, Principal Walter S. Painter, Superintendent PARADE ROUTERS Greatness is the composite of many little things well planned and efficiently executed. Great things are accomplished by people who make the most of every opportunity, however small it may seem. When evaluated by this standard Mr. Painter and Mr. Minniear rank at the top. They not only have planned well our educational program but also have executed it efficiently. Their lives are a challenge of leadership, action, and dependa- bility to every person marching onward in the parade of life. Lives of great men all remind us We may make our lives sublime. And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. IN MEMORIAM Mrs. Robert Ellis Her pleasant voice in joyous tones Made glad our scenes of strife; Of all the lessons that she taught The greatest was her life. Victory she saw in every trial, Pleasure in every pain, Strength in every weakness. Sunshine through every rain. There was no death! From day to day We smile in our sorrow; Her memory is teaching still, The lesson for tomorrow. —I. R.

Already those rather common- place freshmen occupational reports have become very much alive, now that we are about to make our own way in the big world outside of school. As we continue to think over those days that are past, a whole parade of mem- ories goes tripping by. Look! Oh, isn ' t that darling? It ' s a parade float by one of those little Co-ed parties that we had in Room 28 way back in our freshman year. There ' s Christy sitting alone at the Blue Triongle-Freshmcm Boys ' Club Cal- endar Party, poor little fellow. Who ' s that on the gaily-decorated thrones? George and Lila? Oh, sure, they were chosen in our first election as the president and first lady. Remem- ber our beloved Shcmny and his part, along with Miss Evard ' s in the great megaphone sale? Who ' ll ever forget Delmar Diederich or Basil Bickel as sophomore cheer leaders? That was our year; we really put the sophomores on the map. The good old days when the sophomores were upper-classmen in Hi-Y and Girl Reserves. Remember that black Mercury that played school bus for the Waterloo G. R. Conference? How about that unforgettable sophomore party when the Senior Smoothies were just Sophomore Shuff- lers in dancing. No, the next float doesn ' t represent Antony and Cleopatra or Clark Gable and Lana Turner — it ' s the class of ' 43 as jolly, good-natured, senti- mental juniors. Remember? It was about that time that Schlosser and Tuck fanned the flame, then Huffman contracted her incurable crush on Creager, and Kooken used her ingenuity on Black. Schlosser was our chief executive, he did a nice job and we won ' t forget Jerry Muzzillo ' s unbelievable work as financial chairman. Will anyone forget Physical Fitness (oh, the stiffness) or those beloved arithmetic classes. Was there anyone who didn ' t have a struggle with eco- nomics? Let ' s not mention the tournament. We were pretty busy at the end of the year with the class play, class day, commencement and everything, bu ' all in all it was pretty swell and we rather hated to see the time come when high school days would be over. Yes, the events are past but the memories linger. SENIORS Phyllis Adams Eva Mae Argubright Robert Ballentine Robert Bertsch PHYLLIS ADAMS— Torchy College Course G. H. S. 2, 3, 4. ' G. R. 2, 3, 4; G.

' 42 football season was one of Gridiron Glory. For the first time the Rail- roaders captured the Northeastern Indiana Conference Championship. For a starter Garrett chalked up a tie gome with Portland and a defeat at the hands of Warsaw. Profiting from experience, the Parksmen defeated the strong Columbia City team and then followed through by breaking the Hicksville tie jinx and downing the pow- erful Decatur and Central (B) teams. Smarting from a defeat administered by the powerful Goshen team, the Parksmen came back to trounce the fiery Red Devils. The prospects for 1943 are promising if the armed forces spare enough boys to make a team. SEASON ' S RECORD Garrett 6 _ .Portland 6 Garrett 7 Warsaw 28 Garrett 6...

SUNNY SOPHOMORES The Sunny Sophomores really shown brightly this year, the highlight of their activities being the scrap drive which they, together with the F. F. A., sponsored and conducted. Another outstanding activity was the all-school dance which was carried out with great success. The Freshman-Sophomore party sponsored earlier in the year by the sophomores turned out to be a barrell full of fun for both the gr ades. Their officers, John Behler, Betty Weav- er, Ana Williams, and Tom Muhn, with the aid of Miss Thrush, Miss Evard, and Mr. Cudworth, led the class through a prosperous year. They are indeed worthy to assume the added responsibilities that will fall upon them as they become the juniors of Garrett High. Somebody said that it couldn ' t be done, But they with a chuckle replied That maybe it couldn ' t, but they would be those Who wouldn ' t say so till they ' d tried. So they started right in with a trace of a grin On their face. If they worried they hid it. They started to sing as they tackled the thing . _; That couldn ' t be done — and they did it. 32 FRIENDLY FRESHMEN Although the Freshmen had no class organization, they were prominent in Blue Triangle, Torch Club, Booster Club, and all athletic activities. They aided in the sale of stamps and bonds, made booster club posters, sold boost- er pins, and kept things in general quite lively. Having experienced during the past year such subjects as Latin, Biology, and General Math., they are eager to go forward in the ever-moving parade of the classes. If they do not find a place for themselves, they will make one. Vigor, vitality, vim and punch — The courage to act on a sudden hunch — With nerve to tackle the hardest thing, With feet that climb and hands that cling. And a heart that never forgets to sing.

Having completed a definite portion of their school life they will now enter upon new and different experiences. When classes start next term these pupils will be- come full-fledged high school students. Having already taken an active part in many of the school ' s activities they will be able to adjust themselves to the many changes in their new schedules. Great things can be expected from them. True worth is in being, not seeming; In doing each day that goes by Some little good — not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in blindness, In spite of the fancies of youth, There ' s nothing so kindly as kindness And nothing so royal as truth.
