Purple and Silver Miss Blanche Aspy Senior History In September, 1935, a group of shy Freshmen entered school in the business room now occupied by the Equity Union Dairy Store. The class oiiicers were: President, Floyd Windmillerg Secretary and Treasurer, Lila Sprunger. In a few weeks, Betty Augsburger joined us. During the year we lost Mildred Wanner, Corwin Beeler, Edgar Lough, Donald Dobbs and Jeanette Ralston. With two new members, Donavin Sprunger and John Zuercher, we en- tered our new building in September, 1936. Several members, Merle Miller, Alberta Derrickson, Edwin Affolder, Martha Brown, Ellen Kuntz, Elnore Cook, Berniece Lehman, and Grace Wysner, left us during this year. We elected the following officers: President, Floyd Windmillerg Vice Presi- dent, Marjorie Ineicheng Treasurer, Betty Augsburgerg Secretary, Esther Sommer. The most enjoyable social event of this year was the class party at the home of Marjorie Ineichen. During our Junior year we were glad to welcome Pauline Melick, Mil- dred Halfner, Mildred Stucky, Oral Pyle, Lillian Allen, and Brooks Noble to our ranks. Our oiiicers were: President, Floyd Windmillerg Vice Pres- ident, Lila Sprungerg Secretary, Helen Aspyg Treasurer, Charles Chew. At our Christmas party, Lila Sprunger proved her ability to be a gracious and entertaining hostess. On January 18, the play, Million Dollar Butler, was presented. For months we worked and planned for the J unior-Senior Reception given on April 14. At the end of our Junior year, a campfire party was held at the home of Betty Augsburger. How we enjoyed the sandwiches, pickles and pop! This year as Seniors, our aim has been not only to earn our diplomas, a goal toward which we have been working, but to build character and ideals for the future. Recalling the success of our picnic the previous spring, we planned a hamburger fry at the home of Floradelle Amstutz. Our class play, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, was presented on January 10. A request performance was given on January 24.

His opinion is that the purpose of the school is the development of good taste in its students. One of the first duties of the school is to develop good citizens who understand the underlying prin- ciples of our democracy and will preserve them. Since citizens of a democracy need to learn to lose as well as to win, students should learn to be good sports. It is also important that students acquire poise and ease of manner. The forum discussion is a fine way to teach that. Basic economic truths, not just rules and definitions, should be taught. The students should acquire a thorough understanding of the dependency of the farm folk and city people on each other. Class distinction and selfish interests have no place in a democracy. Government administration should be a part of education. Children should be taught to gather all the facts, rather than facts to strengthen their own viewpoints and should develop independence of judgment so that they will become propaganda proof. The ideal that the government is the servant of the people and not its master should be impressed upon them. Young people today are coming out of the high schools and colleges perplexed and worried by the lack of jobs. Vocational training and guidance in fitting them for a life work should be a duty of the school. One of the most important lessons a successful school teaches its students is to live graciously with satisfaction to themselves and agreeableness to others. To achieve this, appreciation of music, art, literature, effective home decoration, and beauty wherever it may be found should be developed. Teach- ers who are not just taught a few tricks of the trade, but who really appreciate the value of educating the student for living, as well as for making a living, are a vital necessity if the rural school is to fashion the lives of the future citizens of our democracy. Class Will We, the Seniors of the class of 1939, being Cfor the most part? of sound mind, and having attained unto perfect wisdom, graciously acknowledge our debt to society and deem it not only our duty but our privilege as well to enter into this our last will and testament to-wit: ARTICLE I Section 1--To the school we leave the monuments of our bygone days such as: broken furniture, finger-smudged walls, secondhand gum deposits, initialed desks, and well-worn books.

Helen Butcher's baking muffins In a cozy bungalow. While a tall and handsome hubby Works hard to make the dough. In a drug store midst the bottles Hazen Roth stands. Selling Marilyn scented lotion For her dainty, pretty hands, A nurse, with sympathy and skill Betty Augsburger rushes around. When nice young men chance to be ill They get much care I've found. Who would dream that Thurl Ever yearned to be a poet? Hidden talent there was lurking Why did Thurl never show it? Helen Aspy's cute little upturned nose Points to things much higher. Fm sure she'll wear a cap and gown As soloist in a choir. Myron Fenstermaker, noted lawyer, Argues cases day and night Studying dull books, large and dusty, Wins the legal fight. World's champion stenographer, Esther Sommer will be Before the age of twenty-three. Then she'll be married and settle down With one of the nicest boys in town. Floyd Windmiller as a member of a radio quartette Makes use of his rare gift of song, Then tries to steal the heart of a little coquette Unless this crystal shows things wrong. There's a tea room, small and dainty Finished up in deep old rose. Mildred Stucky dressed so quaintly Is the hostess I suppose. The House of Representatives Needs small bright boys as pagesg Eighteen That's Donavin Sprunger rushing round Among the learned sages. Drawing cartoons for a New York paper, Bill Chew shows much skill. Comic strips created daily, Bill Chew fills the bill. There is Pauline Melick the authoress Writing with a gifted perl. Her best seller, I will wager, Is How To Manage Men. Long and lanky, six feet two Big, deep, manly voice, Doyle Mathys, scientist, Makes Edison rejoice. On a South Sea island, 'neath a tropic moon Edna Norr will take up her station. As the wife of a missionary, may she not become A hungry cannibal's ration. Who would dream that in the future Mildred Haffner would ever dare To fly a plane across the Atlantic Braving dangers of the air? He never causes much racket, He's right on the job every day. As an accurate expert accountant, Brooks Noble draws his pay. Floradelle Amstutz will a milliner be For as everybody knows, That though she's wise in other things She surely can tie her Beaux. Conferring with stars of the diamond, Writing contracts for mighty Babe Ruth, Steve Armstrong is a big league manager. Quite surprising, but absolute truth. Marjorie Ineichen will make her mark Making blonde the brunettes dark. For golden curls just go to her For it's the blondes the men prefer. Oral Pyle, a noted dancing teacher In a big academy. Why he has so many pupils Is not so hard to see. Betty Jo Blocker is never sad The reason is plain to see. She sells her smiles for toothpaste ads Then reaps in royalties. I see a solemn scholar Bending o'er a heavy book. Professor Lewis, I declare, Here, just take a look. Lillian Allen may be a journalist If some boy doesn't capture her first. As a newspaper writer she'd be good I'll bet, But with Allspaw to help sheyd be better yet. Class Poem There are thirteen lads and fourteen lasses In this outstanding class of classes. We can be quiet or as noisy as swallows. The class enrollment reads as follows: Our president is Charles, Junior, or Bill: You may call him whichever you will. Some even get so far off the track As to call him Mildred behind his back. Quite accomplished is Edna on her fiddle, She plays such classics as Hey Diddle Diddlef' If she keeps up her practice and saves every penny, She'll soon be widely known as another Jack Benny Only one red head does our class claim, Claude Lewis happens to be his name. With a lot of energy and plenty of snap, He may yet place Ceylon upon the map. Lila's always giving the awful suggestion Of tracing, in Health class, the work of digestion. Then she laughs to herself when the work is all done For guessing what we've drawn really is fun. Do you think that romance has passed you by, That all the boys are inclined to lie? Don't feel so badly, my little girl, I'm about to introduce you to Thurl. At school every noon, you're bound to see Floradelle and Mac out on a spree, They're as carefree and happy as turtle doves, We've come to the conclusion that it must be love. Oral either wants to be a glamour boy Or a Flat Foot Floogie with a floy floy. My advice to him is this: Strike a medium and live in bliss. If you seek History grades of the very best. Be sure you're.near Esther on the day of a test. If the day is dark, the room will be lighted, So you needn't worry unless you're nearsighted. 'I'he most popular lad in our class is Windy, Who hopes someday to be a second Lindy. With a lot of confusion going 'round in his head, He'l1 be a second Corrigan instead. A new member of our class is Lillian, Who'1l someday get the Allspaw millions. Then clad in silks oi only the best, She'll travel extensively throughout the west. If in our classes you should happen by, You probably would notice that Jerome is shy. The teachers have agreed that life would be gay If more of their pupils had less to say. Polly's forever breaking the rule Of always being early to school. When the roll call is given and weive disposed of our gum, In comes Polly a twiddling her thumb, Myron Fenstermaker, better known as Pork, Says his mother doesn't trust him to eat with a fork. Most girls, however, would consider it a joy To be in the company of this glamorous boy. Naomi's always got her nose in a book, It's usually the latest edition of Look. Then all curled up in a very soft chair, She bids good-bye to her worries and cares. A loud explosion seems to have filled the air! I beg your pardon, Hazen missed the chair. That's all right Hazen, get up and smile, It's these funny things that make life worth while. Marjorie Ineichen, who plays in the high school band, In Dreamland sees walking hand in hand, The radiant faces of a boy and a girl. These happy children are herself and Merle. Our student manager, Steve, wishes to say To anyone who happens along the way, Come to the games and yell your best, The team will try hard to do the rest. Betty Jo dark, pleasant, and pretty Never gets to bed before twelve-thirty, Then she dreams sweet dreams the whole night long And the next day hums a gay love song. One of the smallest in our class is Doyle, Who does quite well as a tiller of the soil, But seeing a mouse nearly scares him to death, And he runs and runs till he's all out of breath. See the big blue eyes and the dark brown hair? That's Mildred Haffner sitting over there. Why all the confusion in the midst of the lesson? Mickey's at it again, she just asked a question. Brooks Noble, who possesses a lot of knowledge, Knows more than many who go to college. With a lot of common sense within those brains, His world of business should have many gains. The other night Chester just stayed and stayed, For some unknown reason he was being delayed. Helen Butcher just told me the reason right now, He wanted to propose and didn't know how. Gather your senses and hold them tight, Bud Snyder is telling them again tonight. It's just another of his imaginative stories Impossible plays the lead in this allegory. Mildred Stucky, who is very short, Is a girl of quite an interesting sort. I'd class her as certainly being lucky, Getting passes as a child would really be ducky. Donavin has talent in the musical line, At playing the trombone, he really does fine. If he stays away from the girls and the moon, He'l1 reach the height of his ambition next June. I nearly forgot my dear friend Helen, Who is very fond of watermelon. If you're feeling low and about to cry, Helen will sing you a lullaby. If as a poet I earned my bread, I'll tell you quite frankly I wouldn't be fed. After writing these verses, I'd like to comment That it's hard to express words just the way they are meant. In parting we wish to say simply this, Our days in school have been filled with bliss. Our teachers and schoolmates have all been swell With tears in our eyes, we bid you farewell.

The Senior Irip On Tuesday morning, November 22, 1938, the members of the senior class, the class sponsor, Miss Blanche Aspy, Mrs. Ruth Mahoney, and Mr. R. O, Hunt. teachers of health and safety, met in front of the schoolhouse at 7:00 A. M, With Mr. Hunt, Mrs. Mahoney, Miss Aspy, Donavin Sprunger, and Floyd Windmiller as drivers the group journeyed to the Epileptic Village at Newcastle, Indiana. We arrived there at about 8:30 A. M. Our guide, Dr McNeal, in charge of epileptic therapy, led the group through the different buildings and over the grounds. Having seen the main points of interest, we then drove to Ball Memorial Hospital, Muncie. A nurse divided the class into two groups. She and a secretary of the hospital acted as guides. The tour through the hospital was completed near the noon hour, so we went to the college cafeteria for lunch. Afterward some of us went over to the Arts Building. We then drove to the Ball Glass Factory lo- cated on the east side of the city. The molding of glass bottles in a variety of sizes and shapes, the construction of cardboard cartons, and the packing of the glasses in the boxes proved to be very in- teresting. By tlie time we were ready to leave, the members of the class had acquired several souven- irs. After amusing ourselves for a short time in the business district, we started for home. Tired but happy, we arrived in Geneva around 4:30 P. M. Everyone considered the trip and the knowledge they had acquired an experience they would not soon forget. MILDRED HAFFNER Twenty listening To lady Meed Ideal was a young doctor. Fresh from college, with hopes and ambitions to do something, some- thing for suffering humanity, he began his practice in a small mining town where he was an absolute stranger. Unconth and Bluff were fellow doctors. At first he hated Uncouth. He was too smart for him. After a years practice he married the local school teacher, Miss Purity. Ideal was seeking a better job than he had. As a result he was chosen as a staff doctor in a great mining center. Due to his college friendships with Candidness and Undeceit he lost a lot of patients, but before three years had elapsed he had gained them all back. In this mining center he was working on a certain honorary degree. He passed the gruelling tests and finally da:hed away on a much-needed vacation-then to Lon- don for a city practice. One evening he and his wife were invited to dinner at a former college chum's apartment, Fick- leness by naxne. Other doctors were also present, namely Deceit, Fraud, and Miserly. When they reached home again, Ideal told his wife he had had a splendid time. His wife reflected, I didn't. Why!', he exclaimed, those are smart fellows! They have fashionable offices and all the latest equip- ment. For a few years Ideal kept the friendships going with the smart fellows. At length they arranged an introduction for Ideal to Lady Meed. He was quite delighted, but did not tell his wife. The grand evening came. Lady Meed was a gorgeous society woman but her beauty was not comparable to the beauty of his own dear wife. His evening was miserable. He went home, begged his wife to forgive, and broke the misleading friendships. His wife hugged him, tears in her eyes, saying, Ideal, you are just like you were when we were tirst married. LIL.-x C. SPRUNGER Collee Houses In the days when no newspapers existed, coffee houses were the chief means through which pub- lic opinion was expressed. Every man of the upper or middle class went daily to his favorite coffee house to learn the news and express his own opinions on it. Each coffee house had one or more outstanding orators to which the crowd listened. The number and influence of these places constantly increased. Foreigners visiting London remarked that the coffee house was that which especially dis- tinguished London from all other citiesg that the cofee house was the Londoner's home, and that those who wished to find a gentleman commonly asked, not whether he lived in Fleet Street or Chancery Lane, but whether he frequented the Grecian or the Rainbow. No one was excluded from these places who laid down his penny at the bar. It seems that each profession, each religious order, each rank, and the different political minded people had their own particular headquarters, The Grecian and the Rainbow were known as the most exclusive coffee houses in London. St. James and Wills were the places where politicians gathered, and Childs was the haunt of the clergy- man. These coffee houses reached only the masculine element in the population. The language spoken in many of these coffee houses was in that dialect, which long after it had ceased to be spoken in the fashionable circles, continued, in the mouth of Lord Foppington, to excite the mirth of the theater-goers. The chief peculiarity of this dialect was that, in a large class of words, the O was pronounced like A. MARJORIE INEICHEN AND ESTHER SOMMER Twenty-one Top Row-How do girls!

Cook Junior Class Hislory In September of 1936, thirty-six proud boys and girls assembled as the first Freshman class in the new school building. The first officers of the class of 1940 were: President, Louise Smith, Vice President, Franklin Armstrong, and Secretary and Treasurer, Edith Hoffman. During the year we lost two members, Ralph Stucky and Dwight Felty. Everything went along smoothly throughout the first year and on May the fifteenth we left the schoolhouse for a vacation of four months. On August 11, 1937, Bill Blocker, a brilliant and well beloved member, was fatally injured in an automobile accident. In September of 1937, we reassembled as Sophomores with an enroll- ment of thirty-one. The following officers were elected: President, Edith Hoffman, Vice President, Warren George Haviland, Secretary and Treas- urer, Franklin Armstrong. In our Junior year, we were disappointed by losing two members, Floine Neuenschwander and George Boice. The officers for the year are President, Franklin Armstrong, Vice President, Marie Stucky, Secretary, Louise Smith, Treasurer, Marilyn Augsburger. On November 22, the Juniors presented a mystery play, The Phantom Bells. Twenty-three Top Row-Franklin Armstrong, President, Marie Stucky, Vice Presidentg Louise Smith.

Tw enty -four My Favorile Indiana Wriler To head my list of Indiana writers, I believe I would pick Gene Stratton Porter. She is endeared to me because her old home was located here and because some of her books are based on familiar scenes in the locality where I live. She writes con- cerning the outdoors, as it was years ago. Some people have said she used too much imagination, but if you had lived along the river where you learn to know its ways, and the animals along its banks, I think you would agree with me that she was right. It is true, she may have sometimes made her stories too idealistic, but sometimes they were very true to life. Her book, 'The Song of the Cardinal, shows she had spent much time in the woods and knew the birds' ways quite well. Her portrayal of the way the little squirrels and small animals made friends, and her minute descriptions of nests, shows that she has used experience with her imagination. I honestly believe she is worthy to top my long list of Indiana writers. NAME Margaret Hiser Edith Hoffman Weldon Lehman Richard Fields Mary F.

It is one of the best known roads for lovers around Berne and vicinity be- cause it is in such a lonely vicinity. It has several nice bends in it where a car can easily stop at night. It is rather a hilly road and in the fall of the year there is some very beautiful scenery in certain parts of it. At a certain place in the road there is a winding hill. On one side of the hill there is a cemetery, on the other side a woods. This road is not a mud road as most of them are, but a smooth gravel road. Many times, when passing on this road late at night, we have seen a car or two stopping by the wayside, but never have we stopped to see who the occupants of the car were. Farther down, this road is most uninteresting, because it has no attractive scenery. BERWYN SPRUNGER Twenty-five Top Row-Sophs-guessing and gassingg Carry me over!

We soon became accustomed to the unusual schedule, and as time went on, we elected oflicers as follows: President, Marvin Sprungerg Vice President, Jane Millerg Secretary, Vena Eglyg Treasurer, Donald Wind- miller. The year went smoothly and after four months' vacation we returned as Sophomores. We felt quite superior when we saw the Freshmen walk bashfully in. This year is going along fine, better with each new rule that is made. The best rule made yet is, Be quiet in the halls at all times. Our class is considerably smaller this year because of pupils quitting school, but those who are left are looking forward to the junior and senior years with anticipation.

Before there were any schoolhouses erected in Adams county the log cabin homes were used for schools. The first record of a school was at the home of Stephen Armstrong in Wabash township in the year 1854. Wabash and Root townships each claim the distinction of having the iirst public school in Adams county. These schools were built of logs. They had puncheon floors and clapboard roofs held in place by poles. Sometimes large cracks were left in the walls and ceiling. When the weather was warm the mud wasps and lizards furnished amusement for the teach- ers and pupils. Huge fireplaces heated the building and paper greased with coon oil served for windows. The seats, without backs, were of logs split in half. There was no grading system and the pupils were permitted to use such text- books as they might happen to own. The boys were seated on one side of the room and the girls on the other. The rule for discipline was, 'tSpare the rod and spoil the child. These interesting facts led me to investigate concerning the early schoolhouses in Wabash township and in Geneva. Ilearned that the first township school was located at the northeast edge of town. The first school within the corporation was a small one-room building on what is now Shackley Street. It was equipped with very rude furniture and very few supplies. After the first brick school building was erected on the present school grounds, this old building was remodeled for a dwelling, and is at present an attractive home owned by Mr. Farrar. After reading of these old-fashioned schools, I have decided that I would much rather go to school in the year 1939 than in the year 1840.

Each club meets twice weekly for half hour periods. Different members furnish the musical number for the weekly convocation period and join with the grade students in Thanksgiving and Christmas programs. In April the students take part in the Annual Music Festival held at Ball State Teachers' College in Muncie and join with the other six county High Schools in presenting the Annual Easter Cantata at the First Mennonite Church in Berne. Geneva Members of the County Band There are thirty-two students receiving private instruction in instrumental music this year. Sixteen of these play in a band composed of students from six of the county schools. By this time next year, we hope to have a well organized band of which our school and the community may be justly proud. We are looking forward to the time when our band will make its appearance in uniform. A good band will be a help to the community in proportion to the support the community gives the band.
